Chapter 121

The blacksmith seemed to have found an organization and his face was full of joy as he said, "Good, brother, since you're so straightforward, I can't bear to part with my treasure. I'll be friends with you. Seven taels it is, seven taels it is. In the future, you must visit my store more often."

He Tianshu smiled and said, "Of course, I still have a group of brothers. If I take it back and they like it, I'll definitely pull them over. However, when the time comes, boss must give me a discount."

The blacksmith also smiled and said, "No problem. The first time it's unfamiliar, the second time it's familiar. If you become a regular customer, there will naturally be benefits."

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua pulled on the corner of He Tianshu's clothes. He Tianshu looked back at the small sword in Zhang Xiaohua's hand and said to the blacksmith, "This small sword, my little brother likes it. Why don't you let him pick it up and play with it?"

The blacksmith didn't mind. He waved his hand and said, "No problem. Didn't I just say that this toy is a gift from me to the little brother? Just bring a few more people to patronize another day."

Everyone was happy. He Tianshu paid the money and asked for the way back to the inn. Only then did he leave the weapon store with Zhang Xiaohua.

Along the way, He Tianshu was very happy. At such a cheap price, he found a very good treasure sword. It was much better than going to the forest to practice martial arts. It seemed that in the future, it would be better to come out more often.

Zhang Xiaohua was also very happy. She held the small sword in her left hand and kept waving it around as if her arm had suddenly grown. However, she didn't notice that at this time, it was indeed too late. There was no one on the street. As she walked, Zhang Xiaohua felt sleepy and couldn't help but close her eyes. She softly laid on the ground and tightly held the small sword in her hand.

He Tianshu was even more amused. Along the way, he lovingly looked at his treasure sword. After walking for a while, he found that Zhang Xiaohua's footsteps were gone. When he looked back, he couldn't find her figure.

He Tianshu couldn't help but feel anxious. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Where did this expert come from? He didn't even notice it. Could it be one of the top experts in Jianghu?

When He Tianshu arrived with his sword in hand, he saw Zhang Xiaohua lying motionless on the ground from afar. He became even more nervous and cautious. Seeing that there was no movement in the surroundings, he took a few steps forward and felt a little bitter. This child was fine just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he had fallen into such a state. How was he going to explain this to his brother?

When he arrived in front of him, he carefully examined him, but did not find any injuries on his body. He could not help but think, "Could this be the legendary acupoint strike?

Did someone hit his Achilles heel? "

In the midst of his nervousness, a very familiar sound suddenly came from Zhang Xiaohua's nose. He Tianshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had been worried for half a day in vain. It turned out that this fellow had fallen asleep!

But when He Tianshu went forward and kicked Zhang Xiaohua a few times, He Tianshu was worried. He couldn't even kick him awake. Could it be that he had to carry him back?

The next morning, the sun rose from the horizon. As usual, Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes and blankly looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. Only then did she remember that she was not in the familiar little house.

Then she realized that her left hand was still firmly holding onto something. When she picked it up, it turned out to be a toy sword. Only then did she remember the situation last night, but she didn't know how she came back. How strange.

Looking at He Tianshu who was still sleeping on the kang bed, Zhang Xiaohua quietly got off the bed, still holding the little sword in her hand.

When she walked out of the house, the sky was already bright. But it was still early, so no one had gotten up. Only two Misty School disciples were standing in a hidden corner, loyally guarding their duty. When they saw Zhang Xiaohua leave the house, they ignored her and continued to vigilantly observe their surroundings.

Zhang Xiaohua walked to the middle of the yard and carefully looked at the little sword in her hand. Last night, the lights in the shop were dim, so she didn't get a good look. Now that she looked at it, she realized that it was originally just a toy. The sword was not long, about four to five inches long and two fingers wide. The hilt was also very small, just right for Zhang Xiaohua's small hand to hold.

The whole body of the little sword was black, as if it was made of a kind of metal. It was cold to the touch and didn't warm up because of holding it for a long time. The dark body of the sword couldn't be seen, but Zhang Xiaohua clearly felt that there seemed to be blood in the sword. The blade of the sword wasn't opened, so it felt blunt to the touch. If it wasn't for the fact that it was very heavy, Zhang Xiaohua would really think that it was a toy for children.

Zhang Xiaohua's left hand was very strong, so the weight of the little sword was negligible. He casually held the little sword and waved it left and right. He felt very comfortable and happy in his heart. He couldn't help but think that if he used this little sword as a treasure sword to practice swordsmanship, wouldn't it be better than holding a tree branch every day?

Thinking of sword moves, Zhang Xiaohua's hand couldn't help but feel a little itchy. He practiced swordsmanship yesterday morning and didn't practice it in the afternoon and at night. Now that he got a toy as strong as a tree branch, of course, he wanted to show off his skills.

In fact, the yard was quite spacious. It was okay to practice boxing and swordsmanship, but how could Zhang Xiaohua let others see his boxing skills behind closed doors?

Therefore, he still left the small yard.

The inn was located at the end of a street, next to a small river and a small bridge. Zhang Xiaohua walked to the river and looked along the river. Just behind the inn was a pond. Opposite the pond was just like Zhang Xiaohua's home in the Guozhuang House. There was a small bamboo forest. Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up and he walked towards the bamboo forest.

Sure enough, as Zhang Xiaohua thought, there was an empty space in the bamboo forest. Moreover, there was no one here. Zhang Xiaohua got into a fighting stance and practiced the Big Dipper Magical Fist nine times. He let the thicker and thicker flow throughout his body before he stopped.

Following that, Zhang Xiaohua carefully looked around to make sure there was no one around. Only then did he use the small sword and perform the sixteen sword moves. He didn't know if it was because he changed the tree branch or because he was in a good mood, but these few sword moves were very smooth. The nameless warm flow happily flowed from his shoulder to Zhang Xiaohua's left hand. In the past, the warm flow would disappear when it reached his left hand, but it didn't disappear now. All of it flowed into the small sword in Zhang Xiaohua's hand. That small sword, under Zhang Xiaohua's brandishing, actually gradually emitted a black light, but it was very thin and not noticeable.

At the end of Zhang Xiaohua's practice, the sword moves were very exciting. Just like that night at the mountain villa, he changed the moves and stabbed towards the bamboo that was as thick as a small bowl in front of him. In fact, Zhang Xiaohua thought that he could use the tree branch to pierce a small hole in the big tree. Although the bamboo was hollow, its surface was much harder than the big tree. Even if he changed the tree branch, with the small sword's stick-like tip, he would only be able to pierce a small hole in the bamboo. However, the result was greatly out of Zhang Xiaohua's expectations. When the blunt tip of the sword pierced the hard bamboo, the bamboo's outer shell was like paper. The small sword pierced through the bamboo without any hindrance and came out from the other side.

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. He quickly withdrew the small sword and looked at the bamboo in disbelief. However, the hole in the bamboo was still there, so he couldn't doubt it. Thus, he went up again and carefully touched the bamboo until he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the bamboo and that it was very hard. Only then did he look at his left hand and the small sword in it.

Since when did he become so powerful?

Elder Yu used a long sword to pierce through a big tree was very powerful, but he could actually use this stick-like small sword to pierce through the hard bamboo. Although it was not as good as Elder Yu's, it was far … far better than others?

Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to think about this. After all, he had never seen others practice the sword and didn't know the power of others' swords.

At least, he knew that he had far exceeded his expectations.

At this time, there was already a commotion by the bamboo forest. Zhang Xiaohua quickly came out of the bamboo forest. This wasn't the mountain villa. Looking at the time, maybe the people in the mountain villa had already packed up and were preparing to leave.

When Zhang Xiaohua quickly ran back to the inn, most of the people had already eaten breakfast and were packing up. He Tianshu was also standing there with a frown. When he saw Zhang Xiaohua come in, his frown loosened and he asked with some anger: "Zhang Xiaohua, where did you run off to so early in the morning?

Why did you let everyone wait for you? "

Zhang Xiaohua quickly apologized and said: "Captain He, didn't you say yesterday that you can't leave your mouth and your fists? I went out early in the morning to practice my fists."

He Tianshu looked at the small sword in his hand and found it funny in his heart. He knew that he had a child's temperament and that he would definitely play with this toy. So he seriously said: "Practicing your fists is a good thing, but it also depends on the occasion. We are outside, so we must be careful and don't cause any trouble.

It's better to keep this toy close to your chest. Don't hold it in your hand every day and make others laugh at you. Alright, let's go eat. The village head has already finished eating and is preparing to leave. "

Zhang Xiaohua put the small sword into his chest and hurriedly ate his breakfast. He simply packed up his things and boarded the carriage.

The four carriages gradually went further and further away. The fat boss was still standing there, reluctant to part. What a good guest! He only stayed for one night and did not eat the inn's food, but he was actually given so much money. If he had such a guest every day, it would be hard for him not to become rich.

Originally, the fat boss thought that he would keep this beautiful memory in his heart and slowly savor it in the future. But before noon, a man in embroidered clothes riding a handsome horse came to the inn to inquire about the whereabouts of yesterday's group of people. His face was full of temptation and the fat boss couldn't help but recall yesterday's beautiful time in full detail.

When the brocade-clothed man left in satisfaction, the fat boss once again sighed in admiration. What a good customer! Even after the man had left, he could still bring him fortune. He really had to thank the spirits of his ancestors.

The people of Huan Xi Mountain Villa naturally didn't know about this and were still hurrying on their way.

However, today wasn't as fresh as yesterday. Even Zhang Xiaohua, who didn't go out much, didn't really enjoy the scenery outside.

It was only a day's journey away from Ping Yang City. The scenery and culture along the way were really not much different from the place where she lived. After seeing so much, of course, she would get tired of it.

Moreover, Shi Niu's voice was really good. From yesterday to today, it was still very loud and clear. Those few lines of the lyrics always lingered in their ears. It must be that he drank a lot of wine in the inn last night and his throat was well nourished. Therefore, a few disciples secretly muttered that when they stayed the night again, they must reduce the amount of wine Shi Niu drank so that his voice would become hoarse. His singing was good, but if they kept hearing these few lines, how could they live in the future?

Zhang Xiaohua and He Tianshu sat in the third carriage. There were a few disciples beside them and they were chatting about something.

However, Zhang Xiaohua didn't mind. His left hand was playing with the small sword and his right hand was holding a book, reading it with great interest.

Zhang Xiaohua's right hand hadn't fully recovered. From the outside, it looked the same as when he first returned to the villa. However, Zhang Xiaohua knew very well that his right hand wasn't like what Elder Yu said. His bones and meridians weren't destroyed by his inner energy and couldn't return to normal. He could feel that his hand was recovering at a perceptible speed. Moreover, he often tried to use his right hand now. He believed that one day, he would give everyone an unexpected surprise.

He Tianshu sat in the innermost part of the carriage, resting with his eyes closed. He was also holding a book in his hand. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, a smile appeared on his face and he opened his eyes.

He raised his eyes to look at the scenery outside the window and frowned. Although there was some distance between them and the stone cow, the singing voice traveled quite far and he could hear it clearly.

When his gaze landed on Zhang Xiaohua, he couldn't help but smile. He looked at the small sword in Zhang Xiaohua's left hand and said with a smile, "Zhang Xiaohua, this toy isn't bad right? It seems like you like it very much."

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he put down his book and looked at the small sword in his hand. He said sincerely, "Yes, Captain He. I really like this small sword. Thank you for giving it to me."

He Tianshu waved his hand and said, "Actually, I didn't spend a single silver. It's just a gift. I don't need it so naturally, I'm giving it to you to play with. Luckily, this toy doesn't have a blade so I'm not afraid of hurting you."

Zhang Xiaohua said, "Didn't you still buy a treasured sword?

I see that you already have one in your hand. Why do you still want to buy another one? "

He Tianshu smiled and said, "My original sword isn't some famous weapon. It's just a low-value and consumable item. I have to change it every once in a while. I saw that the steel sword in the shop is pretty good. It's worth at least fifteen taels of silver in Ping Yang City. I bought it for seven taels of silver. Of course, it's worth it.

Moreover, the owner of the shop even gave me a 'buy one get one free'. Although it's a toy, it still makes me very happy. So you don't have to specially thank me. "

What he didn't know was that in the small town far away, the blacksmith arrogantly came to the pork shop. He generously threw a few silver taels to the butcher and called out, "Laoliu, I'll return you the money from a few days ago. Also, give me some offal. Hurry up, I still have to go to the wine shop to buy some wine."

The butcher said in surprise, "Old Tie, why are you so generous today?

Did you open a shop? "

The blacksmith said proudly, "Yesterday, a big head came out of nowhere and actually bought a steel sword for seven taels of silver. Don't you think I'm lucky?"

The butcher smacked his tongue and said, "What a spendthrift. Usually, no one would buy your steel sword for two or three taels of silver. You actually managed to get such a good price."

As he said that, he didn't delay and quickly prepared food for the blacksmith.

Then, the blacksmith seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh right, the toy that your mistress picked up on the mountain two years ago. Yesterday, I gave it to that person. I told you that if you could sell it, I would give you money. However, I gave you a 'buy one get one free' deal. Let's just take it as five copper coins."

The butcher said unhappily, "That customer must have bought your steel sword at such a high price because you gave it to him. How can he just give me five copper coins to dismiss me?"

The blacksmith angrily said, "The toy that your mistress picked up was left in my shop for three years and no one paid attention to it. If you don't want these five copper coins, I will chase after that customer and get it back."

The butcher smiled apologetically and said, "Then five copper coins is too little. No matter what, you have to add a little more."

The blacksmith laughed and scolded, "I knew that you had such thoughts. I'll give you fifteen copper coins. It can be considered as not letting your mistress down."

After saying that, he took out a handful of copper coins from his bosom and placed them on the meat table.

The butcher used lightning speed to put away the copper coins and said with a smile, "Since it was all picked up, this money is also free. When your mistress picks up something again, she will let you sell it."

The blacksmith repeatedly waved his hand and said, "Don't, let's go to a pawn shop. That toy has been in my shop for three years. I don't want to get involved in this kind of business. Hurry up and get me into the water. I still have wine to sell. Today's weather is good. It's a good day to get drunk."

The blacksmith took the meat and hurriedly left. The butcher also carried on with his business.

As for Zhang Xiaohua, she did not know that the small sword that she loved so much was only worth fifteen copper coins.

Zhang Xiaohua was still very grateful to He Tianshu and said, "Captain He, I won't say any more words of thanks. If there is anything in the future, just let me know."

He Tianshu smiled and raised the book in his hand and slightly waved it. Zhang Xiaohua understood and also laughed and did not say anything more.

After a while, He Tianshu said, "Zhang Xiaohua, why did you sleep on the street last night?"

Zhang Xiaohua said in surprise, "Really?

Captain He, I have always wanted to ask you. When I woke up in the morning, I only remembered what happened in the weapon shop. I don't know anything after that.

So it was me who slept on the street. "

He Tianshu smiled and said, "That's right. You were walking behind me and I suddenly lost sight of you. I was scared. When I turned around to look, I found you lying on the ground and actually sleeping.

You don't know? "

Zhang Xiaohua said embarrassedly, "I really don't know. Captain He, my brother said that when I sleep, you can't wake me up. He didn't say that I would suddenly fall asleep. Also, I have never gone out so late."

He Tianshu frowned and said, "This is a problem. I don't know if you fall asleep at midnight every day. Otherwise, it will be troublesome."

Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "How troublesome?"

He Tianshu explained, "Midnight is the time when yin and yang are alternating. Many inner strength cultivation methods require you to cultivate at midnight. If you are like this, how can you cultivate these inner strength cultivation methods?"

Zhang Xiaohua said somewhat anxiously, "Ah, then what do I do?"

He Tianshu smiled and said, "There is no need to be so anxious. There are many inner strength cultivation methods that do not require you to cultivate at that time.

We'll talk about it again when you find the opportunity to cultivate your inner force. "

Zhang Xiaohua thought about it and did not ask anymore.
