Shiniu drove the carriage smoothly, crossed the short path, and quickly drove into the flat avenue. At this time, there were not many official Taoists and cars, and Shiniu drove the carriage faster and faster.

The three carriages behind were also constantly chasing, but soon showed the driver's level, and the three carriages were dropped from afar.

Shiniu didn't seem to know, and he was still rushing his horse and enjoyed this long-lost feeling. Fortunately, Qiutong, who was careful, found it, and stopped him. Shiniu said embarrassedly: "I haven't driven a car for a long time. If you are not careful, I will hurry up from now on."

Shiniu slowed down, and the carriage behind him rushed up. Sister Qin in the car frowned and said, "Shiniu, it is right to hurry up and hurry up, but you must ensure the safety of the owner. If you do this, won't the owner be protected?"

Shiniu didn't like to listen to this, and said, "If you encounter an enemy, how can you rely on those behind you to see enough? Isn't it still up to us to work hard?"

Sister Qin smiled and said, "I knew it was difficult to talk to people like you. Not only did there be force in this world, but it also depends on my brain. The ancients said it was good, it was easy to avoid hidden arrows and it was better to be careful."

Shiniu was also a little afraid and admired Sister Qin. He stopped talking, but just carefully controlled the speed of the carriage so that the carriage behind did not have to struggle to catch up.

The car was far away from Pingyang City shortly after the car was running. There were fewer pedestrians and more vehicles on the official road.

There are also fields on the roadside, and villages appear in sight from time to time.

The high sunshine shines on the earth, and it is another beautiful weather with clear sky.

It seemed that the mood was rising. Shiniu drove the carriage and sang the song "Sister, you should be the bow of the boat, brother, I will walk on the shore..."

Shiniu's voice was as loud as his figure. Everyone in the four carriages could hear it. He couldn't help but look at him with admiration. He didn't expect that such a rude man would have such tenderness, and gentleness appeared in the eyes of several female disciples.

Unfortunately, the tail of the stone bull was revealed not long after. The stone bull only knew this song. Along the way, from morning to night, I just sang these few lines. Alas, even delicious food can't help but eat it every day, let alone those simple few songs?

When we were about to stay in the evening, everyone except Shiniu was foaming at the mouth.

The most important thing when traveling a long distance is to arrange food and accommodation. Fortunately, this road was taken by Qiutong some time ago. Long before leaving the village, everyone had already discussed the route, rest, tasting and accommodation, and just acted according to the plan.

The place where the group stayed that night was a small town inn. Although it was an inn, it was much better than the place where Zhang Xiaohua had lived before.

The people from Huanxi Villa booked the only small courtyard of the inn, making the chubby boss of the inn smile so that his eyes narrowed into a slit. He was busy in front of others, fearing that there would be something that offended the rare VIP.

Unfortunately, as soon as the villa entered the courtyard, two disciples guarded the gate of the courtyard, prohibiting others from entering and leaving. Even the inn owner was stopped outside the door, and everyone's food was purchased by a special person to the town, which made the boss guarding outside the door feel a little distressed. This was a considerable income. However, when I turned around, the silver given by the people in the hotel was far more than his psychological price, so I quickly gave up the idea of ​​complaining.

Although it was getting late, the people in the villa had real skills. Soon after, they bought a lot of things from the town and fired by the chef who followed him. Soon after, they made two or three tables of food. Zhang Xiaohua was not a servant of the villa, but she couldn't go to the hall to eat with Ou Yan and others like heaven, and then ate it simply in the hut.

After dinner, lanterns had been lit everywhere in the courtyard. The yard was not small and there were many houses. Zhang Xiaohua could actually live with He Tianshu. When Zhang Xiaohua was on the lights and was about to read a book, He Tianshu stopped him and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, do you want to go out with me?"

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "It's so late, why don't you go to bed early? Why are you going out?"

He Tianshu smiled and said, "Of course there is a reason, will you go?"

Zhang Xiaohua frowned and suddenly thought of Ma Jing. Could Captain He also have such a habit?

Zhang Xiaohua advised: "Captain He, you have been away for a day. Are you tired? It's better to have a early rest. Besides, those places are not clean, so it's better to go less."

He Tianshu was stunned, then burst into laughter, and a chestnut was chiseled on Zhang Xiaohua's head and said, "You little kid, you know a lot. They all say that scholars are very smart, and it is indeed good. Zhang Xiaohua didn't know these things before he recognized the words."

Zhang Xiaohua covered her head and said aggrievedly: "What's wrong with knowing it? It's better than you going there."

He Tianshu smiled and said, "Where do you want to go? I think it's still early this day. The ancients said that it was good. The fist is always there, and the hand is always there. Can you practice boxing today? Let's go out and loosen your muscles and bones."

Only then did Zhang Xiaohua understand what He Tianshu meant, and she felt even more embarrassed and said, "It's better not to go. When is it time? I still want to go to bed early."

He Tianshu said: "Zhang Xiaohua, when it comes to practicing, you don't understand it. The time for practicing is best to be the four hours of Zi, Wu, Mao and You. Zi and the time of Yin and Yang alternating. It is most appropriate to practice internal skills at this time. Although you can't practice internal skills, it is also very beneficial to practice boxing. Forget it, don't you go."

Zhang Xiaohua hesitated and said, "Captain He, I slept early, and it seems that I have never been to midnight. Well, since I didn't practice boxing at noon or evening this day, I'll go with you."

So He Tianshu took Zhang Xiaohua out. Some disciples outside the courtyard were on guard. He Tianshu told them and then left the courtyard.

As soon as I left the yard, I met the chubby shop owner. When I saw someone coming out of the yard, the fat boss came up with a smile on his face. When I heard that He Tianshu wanted to find a place with woods, he was stunned. After thinking carefully for a long time, he pointed out the location and even wanted a shop assistant to take them there.

He Tianshu naturally didn't want others to follow him, so he refused the fat boss' kindness and took Zhang Xiaohua out of the inn. Zhang Xiaohua didn't remember the road very much. He basically didn't hear what the shop owner said just now. Captain He was leading the way, so he didn't have to worry about such things.

But not long after, Zhang Xiaohua realized something was wrong. He Tianshu in front of him had to hesitate for a while when he walked to the street corner. Zhang Xiaohua wondered whether He Tianshu was lost.

Sure enough, after walking a few more streets, He Tianshu stopped and turned around to ask Zhang Xiaohua: "Is the right way we are going?"

Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes and said, "You are the ones leading the way in front, right? I know so much. Besides, I am a natural road tycoon and can't remember it from the medicine field to the entrance of the villa, let alone this strange place."

He Tianshu smiled bitterly and said, "I have to find someone to ask for directions after seeing it."

But it was getting late now, and there were few people on the road, so no one knew where He Tianshu was going. It was pitch black. Where can I find someone to find out?

He Tianshu looked around, pointed to a small lantern in front, and said, "Let's go, go there and take a look, just ask someone for advice. If you don't work, go back to the inn."

Zhang Xiaohua naturally had no objection and followed He Tianshu toward the lantern.

When I walked to the bright spot, I realized that this was actually a small weapon shop. It was not closed yet so late. He Tianshu was also surprised.

He Tianshu walked into the store. Although it was not pitch black, there was only an oil lamp. He didn't look carefully. However, as soon as he walked into the store, he could smell a smell of wine. When he looked again, a man dressed in a blacksmith was sleeping soundly on the table.

The two of them suddenly realized that it was not because the owner was diligent, but because they slept too early and forgot to close the door.

There were a lot of swords and other objects in the store. I guess it was made by this blacksmith. He Tianshu didn't rush to wake up the owner. He picked up a steel knife and read it with interest. In fact, it was nothing strange. Just like a scholar, he would usually go in to check out the bookstore on the street. However, whether he could buy books, it was inevitable to find a few books to read. The same is true for those who practice martial arts. When they entered the weapon store, they would not be able to appreciate it without taking a few weapons. This is not a ritual, but it must be a homosexual person.

However, after looking at the steel knife in his hand, He Tianshu's casual expression was much more restrained. He didn't expect that the quality of the weapons he walked into was actually good.

Immediately, He Tianshu carefully selected and wanted to find out if there was anything better.

Zhang Xiaohua was not interested in these things, but the streets were very deserted, and the store was better. There were snoring and there were people, so he walked casually to take a look.

He Tianshu is the one who uses the sword, so of course he chooses the steel sword.

He picked from one end of the rack to the other end, but did not find it better. He said that the quality of the sword was really good. However, it was a little worse than the sword He Tianshu used himself, and it was difficult to make him think of paying for it. When he reached the end, he saw a dagger-like thing placed on the bottom of the rack, which was so dark that he couldn't see it clearly, so he bent down and picked it up from the rack. The dagger was cold and heavy. When He Tianshu took it in front of him, he could see clearly that it was not a dagger you usually saw.

Rather than saying it is a dagger, it is a small sword. Ordinary daggers have a wooden handle with a sharp blade in front of it. This dagger looks like a sword. The hilt and the sword blade are one, and are made of a metal. However, the ratio of the sword blade and the sword hilt is not coordinated. The hilt is one size smaller than the common sword, but the sword blade is much smaller than the common sword blade. He Tianshu carefully touched the sword blade with his hands, and it seemed that there was no blade. He couldn't help but frown. What is this?

Is it a toy for a child?

He looked up and was about to wake up the owner, but he saw Zhang Xiaohua turning around boredly, then looked back at the hilt of the number one smaller in his hand, and shouted: "Zhang Xiaohua, come here and show you something good."

Zhang Xiaohua responded, looked at the thing He Tianshu handed over, and said strangely: "Captain He, what is this? It seems to be a toy sword? But it is much bigger than what I played when I was a child."

He Tianshu smiled and said, "It's probably because the blacksmith has nothing to do to play. Take it and take it. If you like it, I'll buy it for you to play."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't answer and said, "I'm not a child, if you want to buy it, buy me a real sword."

He Tianshu said: "You haven't learned any sword technique, why are you buying a sword? Besides..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped. What he originally wanted to say was, can you still use a sword on your hand? But when he thought that saying this would definitely hurt Zhang Xiaohua's heart, he quickly stopped.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand and asked, "What's wrong?"

He Tianshu hurriedly concealed it and said, "Besides, I don't know how expensive this sword is, so I'd better consider it."

Zhang Xiaohua let out a "scream", turned around and left, and said, "Then I don't want this toy either."

However, when he turned around, he accidentally touched an added sword. With a "bang", the sword fell to the ground with a loud noise.

The sleeping blacksmith suddenly looked up after hearing the voice and shouted, "Catch the thief~"

When he saw He Tianshu holding the small sword and Zhang Xiaohua standing, he quickly wiped his mouth away, walked over with a smile, and said, "Sorry, Guest, what did you like? I was dreaming just now, sorry."

Zhang Xiaohua bent down, picked up the sword that fell to the ground with her left hand, held it in her hand, and said, "If you don't wake up again, we will take the sword away."

The blacksmith smiled and said, "Looking at the two of you, how could they be such people? They were joking and joking."

The light in the shop was dim, and you could still see that others were of extraordinary temperament. The blacksmith's vision was really amazing.

The blacksmith saw the small sword in He Tianshu's hand and said, "The guest officer has a unique vision. This is the treasure of our store. It has been passed down for a hundred years. Today, you will fall in love with it at a glance. I can't say that I have to endure the pain and give up my love."

He Tianshu smiled and twisted the dust on the small sword with his hand, saying, "This is the treatment of the treasure of the store? Why don't you cover it with something? And, why are you using the treasure of the store? Is it a dagger? Why don't you open the blade? Is it a sword? Why is it so small?"

The blacksmith was asked and couldn't speak, and said embarrassedly: "Okay, then I have to tell the truth. This was a hundred years ago when my grandfather was still alive. An old man with white hair and beard was in our store. He said he was a treasure of the immortal family. If you don't believe me, you should weigh this weight. How heavy is it? Is ordinary metal a weight?"

He Tianshu still smiled and said, "I'm wondering, why don't people go to the pawn shop as a thing? Why do you come to your place? Forget it, I originally wanted to see the one who bought a sword, but I still stopped watching it. As I said, I was going to put the sword on the shelf and prepare to go out.

The blacksmith quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, you are so amazing. Let me tell the truth. This is a toy I bought from the countryside. It looks very heavy. I wanted to put it in the fire and melt the weapon, but it couldn't melt it, so I threw it there. I wanted to sell it to children to play, but it was too heavy. No children like to play, so I threw it there for many years. Guests, look at other weapons. If I like it and buy more, I will give this toy to you for free?"

He Tianshu curled his lips and said, "I still bought a lot? I think your store is so remote, how many businesses can it have? And I am alone, how many swords can I buy? But, depending on your skills, I will adjust it first."

After saying that, he handed the little sword to Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua was holding the sword in his left hand, so he had to take it with his right hand. As the blacksmith said, it was a bit important. No wonder the child couldn't play with it. Then, he handed the sword in his left hand to He Tianshu.

He Tianshu took the sword handed over by Zhang Xiaohua, looked carefully, and said, "This sword is really good. What is the price of the shopkeeper?"

The blacksmith saw He Tianshu looking at him and said, "You have such a good attitude. This is my store's store..." When he said this, he frowned and quickly changed his words, "Oh, I was wrong. This is something my grandfather has created here for many years. You have a good attitude, so you can look at you. It's not a second price, twenty taels of silver."

He Tianshu smiled and said, "Is your grandfather Ou Yezi?"

The blacksmith was stunned and said, "No."

He Tianshu said: "If it were Ou Yezi, not to mention twenty taels, or two thousand taels, I bought it too. But if not, the price would be too expensive."

The blacksmith asked: "How much money does the guest feel are appropriate?"

He Tianshu said: "Two liang is enough."

The blacksmith said angrily: "You are not sending beggars, you have no sincerity."

After saying that, he pretended to be snatching the sword.

He Tianshu didn't do anything, letting him catch the sword, but the blacksmith did not bring it over, just said, "If the guest official is sincere, you might as well add a little more."

Zhang Xiaohua watched the two of them talking from the side, and felt very bored, so she took the small sword in her hand to look at it.

Although the small sword was covered with dust, it looked dark overall, with a faint reflection inside. Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised and brushed away the dust on the small sword with the palm of her left hand.

However, when his left hand touched the small sword, he suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if the small sword was connected to his left hand, and when he took his left hand away, he felt that it was gone immediately.

So, Zhang Xiaohua handed the small sword from his right hand to his left hand. The moment he started, a feeling of blood connection arises from the bottom of his heart. It seems that the small sword is his left hand, or his left hand has a small sword, which is very strange. When Zhang Xiaohua brushes away the dust on the sword with his right hand, he looks carefully, but he doesn't find anything. It's just the dark metal, which does not reflect any light. Occasionally, a trace of flicker can be seen from the sword body of the small sword. I don't know if it's the reason for looking under the light.

However, no matter what the little sword is, whether it is a toy or a dagger, Zhang Xiaohua decided that she must own it.

At this time, the confrontation between the blacksmith and He Tianshu was basically over. He Tianshu said, "Let's do this, we won't say much, we will give in to each other, let's make up for seven taels of silver."
