Chapter 121: Little Sword
The blacksmith seemed to have found an organization, his face was full of joy, and he said: "Okay, brother, so refreshing, I can't bear to cut my love, so I will make you a friend, seven taels will be seven taels, and I will have to patronize the small shop more in the future." β
He Tianshu smiled: "That's natural, I still have a bunch of brothers there, if I take it back, they have something they like, I will definitely pull them over, but when the time comes, the boss will give me a discount." β
The blacksmith also smiled: "No problem, once born and twice cooked, it is naturally beneficial to become a repeat customer." β
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua pulled the corner of He Tianshu's clothes, He Tianshu looked back at the small sword held by Zhang Xiaohua, and said to the blacksmith: "This little sword, my little brother likes it very much, why don't you let him pick it up and play?"
The blacksmith didn't care, waved his hand and said, "No problem, didn't I say it just now, this toy should be my little brother, and I will bring a few more people to patronize it another day." β
Everyone was overjoyed, He Tianshu paid the silver, asked Ming the way back to the inn, and then left the armory store with Zhang Xiaohua.
He Tianshu was very happy along the way, he found a very good sword at such a cheap price, which was much better than going to the woods to practice, and it seemed that he would have to go out more to walk around in the future.
Zhang Xiaohua was also very happy, holding the small sword in his left hand, and kept waving it around, as if his arm had suddenly grown, but he didn't notice that it was indeed too late at this time, there was no one on the street, and as she walked, Zhang Xiaohua felt sleepy, so she couldn't help but close her eyes, lay on the ground softly, and held the little sword tightly in her hand.
He Tianshu was even more funny, he couldn't put down his sword along the way, and after walking for a while, he found that there was no footsteps of Zhang Xiaohua behind him, and when he looked back, he couldn't find anyone.
He Tianshu couldn't help but feel a big hurry, cold sweat broke out from his forehead, where did the master snatch people from his side, and he didn't even arouse his consciousness, could it be that there are several masters in the rivers and lakes?
When He Tianshu came looking for the sword, he saw Zhang Xiaohua lying motionless on the ground from a distance, his heart was even more nervous, he was careful to be on guard, and saw that there was no movement around, these few steps forward, his heart was a little sad, this kid was still good just now, in a blink of an eye, he didn't pay attention to it, and ended up like this, how can he explain to his brother?
When he arrived, he checked carefully, but he didn't find any injuries on his body, and he couldn't help but think: "Is this the legendary hole in the air?
When he was nervous, an extremely familiar voice suddenly came out of Zhang Xiaohua's nose, He Tianshu couldn't help crying and laughing, he was worried in vain for a long time, this guy turned out to be asleep!
But after He Tianshu stepped forward and kicked Zhang Xiaohua a few times, He Tianshu was worried, and he couldn't wake up after kicking, did he have to let himself carry him back?
The next morning, when the morning sun rose from the horizon, Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes as usual and looked blankly at the unfamiliar environment around her, and then remembered that she was not in the hut she was familiar with.
Then I found that my left hand was still firmly holding a thing, and when I picked it up, it turned out to be a toy sword, and I remembered the situation last night, but I didn't know how I came back, it's really strange?
Looking at He Tianshu who was still asleep on the kang opposite, Zhang Xiaohua quietly went to the ground, still holding the small sword in his hand.
Walking out of the house, it was already dawning outside, but it was still early, and no one got up, only two disciples of the Ethereal Sect stood in a hidden corner, guarding them faithfully, watching Zhang Xiaohua come out of the house, ignoring it, still vigilantly observing the surroundings.
Zhang Xiaohua walked to the middle of the yard, carefully looked at the small sword in his hand, the light in the store was dim last night, and he didn't look carefully, but when he looked at it now, he found that this was originally just a toy, the sword body was not long, about four or five inches long, two fingers wide, and the hilt of the sword was also very small, Zhang Xiaohua's small hand took it, just right. The whole small sword is jet black, it seems to be made of only one kind of metal, it is cold to the hand, and it is not warm because of the long time it has been held, and the black sword body cannot see inside, but Zhang Xiaohua obviously feels that there seems to be blood in the sword, and the blade is useless, it feels blunt to the touch, if it is not very heavy to hold, Zhang Xiaohua really thinks that this is a toy for children to play with.
Zhang Xiaohua's left hand is very strong, the weight of this small sword is negligible, he casually held the small sword and waved it left and right, feeling very comfortable, and his heart was also happy, I couldn't help but think, if this small sword is used as a sword, to practice swordsmanship, isn't it better than taking a branch every day?
Thinking of the sword moves, Zhang Xiaohua's hands couldn't help but itch a little, the swordsmanship practiced early yesterday morning, I didn't practice it at noon and night, and now I got a toy that was as strong as a tree branch, of course, I wanted to show my skills.
In fact, the open space in this courtyard is also quite large, and it is okay to fight boxing and practice swords, but how can Zhang Xiaohua let others see his boxing skills behind closed doors? Therefore, he still went out of the small courtyard.
The inn is located at the end of a street, next to the river and the bridge, Zhang Xiaohua walked to the river, along the river look, just behind the inn is a pond, the opposite of the pond is like Zhang Xiaohua's home in Guozhuang, there is a small bamboo forest, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up, and he walked to the bamboo forest.
Sure enough, as Zhang Xiaohua thought, there was an open space in the bamboo forest, and no one came at this time, Zhang Xiaohua put away the jiashi, practiced the Beidou God Fist nine times, and let the more and more thick flow flow all over the body, and then closed the fists and feet.
Then Zhang Xiaohua looked around carefully, to make sure that there was no one, then he picked up the small sword, and performed the sixteen changes of the sword move, I don't know whether it was because of the replacement of the branches, or the reason for Zhang Xiaohua's mood, these kinds of swordsmanship were handy, and the nameless warm current happily rushed to Zhang Xiaohua's left hand from somewhere on the shoulder, in the past, those warm currents to his left hand would disappear, but now they did not disappear, all poured into the small sword in Zhang Xiaohua's hand, the small sword in Zhang Xiaohua's wielding, it gradually emitted a piece of black light, but it was very thin, and it did not attract attentionγ
Zhang Xiaohua practiced to zuihou, swordsmanship to rise, just like the night in the villa, transport the change of moves, in front of the small bowl of thick bamboo stabbing to stab, in fact, in Zhang Xiaohua's thoughts, he can use a branch to pierce a small hole in the big tree, although the bamboo is hollow, but the surface is much harder than the big tree, even if the branches are replaced, but with the tip of this small sword like a stick, it is not bad that he can only stab a small hole, but the result is much beyond Zhang Xiaohua's expectations, and the tip of the bladeless sword pierced the hard bamboo, the shell of the bamboo is like paper paste and is broken at the touch, and the small sword passes through the bamboo without hindrance and stabs out from the other sideγ
Zhang Xiaohua was shocked, quickly withdrew the small sword, and looked at the bamboo in disbelief, but the hole in the bamboo was still there, and he could not be suspicious, so he went up again and stroked the bamboo carefully, until he confirmed that the bamboo was not abnormal, it was very hard, and then he looked at his left hand and the small sword in his hand.
When did you become so powerful?
Yu Lao is very powerful at piercing a big tree with a long sword, but he can actually pierce hard bamboo with this stick-like sword, although it is a little worse than Yu Lao, but it is far ...... Far more than others? Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to think about this, after all, he had never seen others practice swords, and he didn't know the power of other people's swords. At least, he knew that he had far exceeded his expectations.
At this time, there was already a noise of voices on the edge of the bamboo forest, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly came out of the bamboo forest, this is not in the villa, look at the time, maybe the people in the villa have packed up and are ready to leave.
Waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to run back to the inn quickly, most of the people had already eaten breakfast and were cleaning up, He Tianshu was also standing there with a frown, and when he saw Zhang Xiaohua coming in, his brows were loosened, and he asked a little angrily: "Zhang Xiaohua, where did you go early in the morning?"
Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly said: "Captain He, didn't you say yesterday that Qu will not leave your mouth and fist, I went out to practice boxing early in the morning." β
He Tianshu looked at the little sword he was holding in his hand, and was amused in his heart, knowing that he was a child's heart, and if he got this toy, he must have taken it to play, so he said seriously: "Practicing boxing is a good thing, but it also has to be divided into occasions, we are going out, we must be careful, don't make any trouble." It's good to kick this toy in your arms, don't hold it in your hand every day, make people laugh, okay, hurry up and eat, the owner has already finished eating and is ready to go. β
Zhang Xiaohua took the little sword into her arms as she said, ate breakfast in a hurry, simply packed up her things, and got into the carriage.
The four carriages gradually drifted away, and the fat boss still stood there reluctant to give up, how many haode guest officers, he stayed for a night and did not eat the food of the inn, and actually gave so many silver taels, if there were such guests every day, it would be difficult for him not to get rich.
Originally, the fat boss thought that this beautiful haode memory would be put in his heart and left it for later to slowly reminisce, but before noon, there was a man in brocade riding a horse with a divine horse, and came to the inn to inquire about the whereabouts of this group of people yesterday, with the temptation of white flowers and silver, the fat boss couldn't help but recall the good times of yesterday again.
Waiting for the brocade-clothed man to leave satisfied, and the fat boss praised again, what a haode guest officer, everyone can still bring wealth and luck to himself, and he really has to thank his ancestors for having a spirit.
The people of Huanxi Villa naturally didn't know this, and they were still in a hurry.
However, today is not as fresh as yesterday, and even people like Zhang Xiaohua who have never been out of the house are a little bit unaware of the scenery outside. This has just left Pingyang City for a day's journey, and the scenery and humanities along the way are really not much different from the places where I live.
Moreover, Donkey Kong's stone cow has a really good voice, from yesterday to today, it is still very loud, those few lyrics always linger in their ears, presumably the wine in the inn last night did not drink less, and the throat was moisturized well, so a few disciples secretly muttered, when staying again tonight, we must reduce the wine of the stone cow, so that his voice is dumb, this song is good, but it always makes people listen to these few words, and in the future, it will not make people live?
Zhang Xiaohua and He Tianshu were sitting in the third carriage, and there were several disciples next to them, and several of them were chatting about something. But Zhang Xiaohua didn't care, he was playing with the little sword in his left hand, and he was holding a book in his right hand, looking at it with relish.
Zhang Xiaohua's right hand has not fully recovered, from the outside, it looks similar to when he first returned to the villa, but Zhang Xiaohua knows very well in his heart that his right hand is not like what Yu Lao said, the bones and meridians are destroyed by internal force, and cannot return to a normal state, he can feel that his hand is recovering at a perceptible speed, and he always tries to use his right hand intentionally or unintentionally many times now, and he believes that one day, he will give everyone an unexpected surprise.
He Tianshu sat in the innermost part of the carriage, closed his eyes and recuperated, and he was also holding a book in his hand, presumably thinking about something, and after a while, a smile appeared on his lips and he opened his eyes. He raised his eyes and glanced at the scene outside the window, frowning, although it was some distance from the stone cow, but the song was quite far away, and he could hear it clearly.
When his eyes fell on Zhang Xiaohua, he couldn't help but smile, looked at the small sword in Zhang Xiaohua's left hand, and said with a smile: "Zhang Xiaohua, this toy is good, it seems that you like it a lot." β
Zhang Xiaohua listened, put down the book, looked at the small sword in his hand, and said sincerely: "Yes, Captain He, I really like this little sword, xiexie you can give it to me." β
He Tianshu waved his hand and said: "Actually, I didn't spend a penny of silver taels, it's just a giveaway, and I don't need it, so it's naturally for you to play, fortunately, this toy doesn't have a blade, and I'm not afraid of hurting you." β
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Then don't you still buy a sword? I see that you already have one in your hand, why do you want to buy it again?"
He Tianshu said with a smile: "My original sword is not a famous weapon, just a general low-value consumable, it is to be replaced every once in a while, I see that the steel sword in the store is made well, how to say it in Pingyang City, it has to be sold for fifteen taels of silver, I will take it for seven taels of silver, it is naturally cost-effective." And the owner also bought one get one free, although it was a toy, but it also made me feel comfortable, so you don't have to thank me. β
But I didn't know that in the distant town, the blacksmith came to the pork shop proudly, and generously threw a few coins of silver to the butcher, shouting: "Sixth, return the silver money you gave a few days ago, and give me a few more water, hurry up, I still have to go to the wine shop to sell wine." β
The butcher was surprised and said, "Lao Tie, how can you be so generous today?"
The blacksmith said proudly: "Yesterday, a big man from nowhere, he actually bought a steel sword for seven taels of silver. β
The butcher snapped his tongue and said, "It's really a big wrong, your steel sword is usually not asked for two or three taels, but you have been blinded by a good price." β
As he spoke, he did not delay in making food for the blacksmith.
Then, as if remembering something, the blacksmith said, "By the way, the little gadget that your junior picked up on the mountain the year before last, and I also gave it to that person yesterday. β
The butcher was not very happy and said, "Then the guest must have paid a lot of money to buy your steel sword because you sent something, why did you send me away for five cents?"
The blacksmith said angrily: "Your junior picked up the toy, and no one paid attention to it in my store for three years, if you don't want the five cents, I will go and catch up with the guest, and then get it back." β
The butcher smiled and said, "That's too little, so you have to add a little." β
The blacksmith scolded with a smile: "I knew that you had this thought, and I would give you fifteen wen, which can be regarded as worthy of your junior to go to the mountain." β
After speaking, he took a handful of copper coins from his arms and ranked them above the meat case.
The butcher used lightning speed to put away the copper coin, and said with a smile: "The left and right are all picked up, and this money is also for free, and when Xiao San picks up things again, he will let you sell them." β
The blacksmith waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't be, let's find a pawnshop, that little thing has been in my shop for three years, I don't want to provoke such idle things, let me go into the water, I still have to go to sell wine, today is a good weather, it is a day to get drunk." β
The blacksmith took the meat and left in a hurry, and the butcher went about his business as usual.
But Zhang Xiaohua didn't know that the little sword she loved so much was only worth fifteen yuan.
Zhang Xiaohua was still very grateful to He Tianshu, and said: "Captain He, I won't say more if I thank you, if there is anything in the future, you can just tell me." β
He Tianshu smiled, held up the book in his hand, and waved it slightly, Zhang Xiaohua understood, and also smiled "hehe", and said no more.
After a while, He Tianshu said again: "Zhang Xiaohua, why did you sleep on the street last night?"
Zhang Xiaohua was surprised: "Really, Captain He, I have always wanted to ask you, I only remember the things in the weapons store when I wake up in the morning, and I don't know anything about the back." I slept on the street. β
He Tianshu smiled: "That's right, you were walking behind me, and I suddenly didn't see your person, I was startled, and when I looked back, I found that you were lying on the ground and actually asleep." You don't know about it?"
Zhang Xiaohua said embarrassedly: "I really don't know, Captain He, my brother said that I couldn't wake up when I was sleeping, but he didn't say that I would fall asleep suddenly, and I never went out so late." β
He Tianshu frowned and said, "This is a problem, and I don't know if you fall asleep every day, otherwise it will be a troublesome matter." β
Zhang Xiaohua said strangely: "What's the trouble?"
He Tianshu explained: "The time of the child is the time of the alternation of yin and yang, and many internal skills are required to be practiced in the time of the child, if you are like this, how can you practice these internal skills?"
Zhang Xiaohua was a little anxious: "Ah, what can you do then?"
He Tianshu said with a smile: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, there are still a lot of internal skills that don't require cultivation at that time." Let's talk about it when you find the opportunity and can cultivate your internal strength. β
Zhang Xiaohua thought about it, so she didn't ask anymore.
