After everyone saluted, they entered the room and sat down, saying that they were sitting, you don't expect to have tables, chairs and benches, that thing only appeared during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Eastern Han Dynasty said that sitting refers to kneeling, kneeling on the ground, and then sitting on his calves, this kneeling posture has always made Xiao Yi miserable.

The blacksmith took out a black pottery urn with a large belly and a small mouth, and carved some quaint and rough patterns on it. There is most of the water in the black pottery, put it on the charcoal stove in the house, the stove is very strong, after the water boils for a while, put a handful of tea into it, pour in a little salt, and then use a wooden stick in the pottery urn to stir constantly.

"Why not make tea? Just kidding, this is the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it's good to have tea to drink."

Chinese tea drinking starts from eating and chewing raw leaves, and then changes to raw leaves boiled and drunk, forming a relatively primitive tea brewing method. Before the Tang Dynasty, there was no tea making method, often directly picking raw leaves and boiling with refined salt, and tea drinking began to move from extensive to refined in the Tang Dynasty, especially Lu Yu's "Book of Tea", which collected the essence of tea art in the past dynasties and authored the world's first tea art monograph, as an outstanding representative.

After using tea, the ox blacksmith said: "That piece of meteorite iron is worthy of being a god-given artifact, I spent several months, after thousands of times of tempering by fire, and finally forged into three treasure knives, all of which are extremely sharp, which can be called divine weapons. ”

Then the blacksmith ordered Da Niu: "Go and invite your second uncle over." "Da Niu Zozole tooth flower, it seems that he is very afraid of this second uncle, but he still walks quickly.

The blacksmith's 'second uncle' is surnamed Zhang, named Zhang Ji, who lives next door, is the friend of life and death of the cattle blacksmith, and the two came to the Crouching Tiger Pavilion together a few years ago, usually making animal fur for a living, and also making leather armor, bows and arrows, and the people in the town are used to calling him Zhang Leather Maker.

This person is in his thirties, his haggard face always seems to be worried, medium build, seems to be taciturn, and his appearance can be described in one sentence - ordinary, ordinary figure, ordinary temperament, ordinary dress, definitely the kind of character that can't be found when thrown into the pile, it seems that he always likes to stand in a dark corner at any time, even if the sun is shining outside, his side seems to have ten thousand years of cold ice that has not melted for years.

Due to the perennial work with animal fur, there is always a rotten smell on the body. If there is anything special about it, it is that the arms are particularly thick, the thumb of the right hand, the inside of the index finger, there are two thick calluses imperceptibly, and a pair of thin eyes, looking drowsy, but inadvertently, sometimes sending out a sharp gaze like a falcon.

After the leatherman Zhang Ji entered the house, he first bowed to the old man, called the immortal master, and felt that this respect came from the heart; But looking at Xiao Yi's gaze was full of appreciation, especially when he looked at Xiao Yi's arm, it was like seeing some treasure.

Blacksmith Niu Hong stood up and took out a package from the inner room, opened it to reveal three knife cases, and handed one of them to Lao Dao.

Lao Dao opened it and saw that it was a short knife; The quaint pattern on the scabbard is particularly deep, and a bull's head logo on the handle is clear and eye-catching, and the two red seal inscriptions on it are "greedy wolf"; Slowly pull the knife out of the sheath, a ball of blue light appeared instantly, the two-foot blade is slightly curved, the back of the knife is half a minute thick, which is convenient for chopping, the blood groove specially opened on both sides, the blade has a silky snowflake pattern, the handle is made of iron pomegranate wood, wrapped around the filament, and it feels excellent to hold, a short knife, a good weapon to kill!

The blacksmith Niu Hong and the leatherman Zhang Ji also took out a knife each; The three short knives are exactly the same, the only difference is that the handle in the old Dao's hand is engraved with two red seal inscriptions "greedy wolf"; The one in the blacksmith's hand was engraved with the words 'Broken Army', and finally the short knife in the hands of the tanner's hand was engraved with the word 'Seven Kills'.

These three knives are made because of the abnormal changes in the sky and stars, the seven kills, the broken army, and the greedy wolf are the same, and the flying fire meteorite is made from the sky, so they are named after the three stars; The distribution of the three knives seems to be casual, but it seems to have a providence in the dark, and these three knives will also bring completely different destiny to their respective masters in the future.

"Big Bull, bring the freshly beaten ring-headed knife," the blacksmith shouted at his son, glaring.

The figure flashed, and the big bull quickly took out a ring-headed knife from the house, the knife was more than 3 feet long, the horn was the handle, the back was wide and the blade was thin, and the cold light was shining, which was obviously a good weapon.

Born in the Western Han Dynasty of China, the ring head knife is a straight-edged long knife made of pig iron after repeated folding and forging, which is the most advanced and lethal close-range cold weapon in the world at that time, and it is also a weapon of extraordinary significance in human history. To some extent, it can be said that the Xiongnu were defeated by the ring head sword, and indirectly contributed to the great migration of Eurasian peoples at that time. At the same time, it was also a soldier of the Eastern Han Dynasty who was allowed to be equipped with weapons.

The father and son faced each other, the blacksmith pulled out his 'broken army' short knife, blade to blade, both arms forced, and at the same time shouted, a crisp sound of the bell, a section of the knife fell to the ground, everyone hurriedly took a closer look, the ring head knife in the hand of the big bull only left half of the blade, and the bull blacksmith touched the blade of the 'broken army' knife with his hand, unscathed.

Hiss! The crowd gasped, and some were stunned; It's a miracle soldier!

Lao Dao also touched the greedy wolf knife in his hand, thought about it for a while, and handed it to Xiao Yi behind him, saying, "Apprentice!" Northland boys, all can bring knives, this knife is good to use, don't let down the godsend! ”

"Thank you, master!"

took over the short knife, Xiao Yi likes to keep playing, as a man, who doesn't like cold weapons, he had an imitation Swiss Army knife in his previous life, but the senses are not as simple and atmospheric as this greedy wolf knife!

Seeing that the greedy wolf knife had returned to Xiao Yi, the big cow and Ma Liuduo on the side had already seen that the saliva was wetting their feet, and they couldn't wait to snatch it over; Qi Qi looked at the blacksmith with a pitiful gaze, and if the two of them had tails, they would have waged them again and again.

Seeing that there was no new short knife to bring, Da Niu couldn't help but speak: "Dad, that, we, also ......"

"You two give me a good martial arts practice, why do you want such a good knife at such a young age?" The blacksmith reprimanded loudly:

Da Niu lowered his head aggrievedly, looked at Xiao Yi, who was a head shorter than himself and half thinner, and then looked at Ma Liu, who was also helpless, and said in his heart: "It seems that the little immortal master is much smaller than our brothers......"

The ox blacksmith touched his son's head and comforted him: "Good life to practice martial arts, good weapons are to follow the martial artist for a lifetime, you can't be built casually, you are still young, your body has not fully grown, your muscles and bones are undecided, if you build a blade now, it will not take a few years, your body will grow taller, your strength will become larger, and the well-built blade will not take advantage of it, rest assured, after two years, when your martial arts are practiced, the muscles and bones will grow; For the Father, I will definitely make a sword for each of you!

The two nodded in agreement, but looking at the treasure knife in Xiao Yi's hand, they felt that it was not so reasonable...

"God-given divine soldiers, let's drink it today."

Seeing that the knife was so sharp, the blacksmith Niu was very happy, and ordered Da Niu to go to the town to drink wine, and ordered Ma Liu to slaughter a few chickens at the back of the yard, so that the knife can be regarded as a family heirloom, and it is the kind that is passed on to men but not women, and not to descendants.

Xiao Yi is still very happy to have meat to eat, saying that since following the old way, in addition to being injured, he also drank a few meals of wolf meat soup in those days, and he will never get meat again, not to mention that the thin wolf still fights back by himself...... Oh no...... It's bitten back; Although the Taoist priest does not taboo meat, the two poor Taoist priests who guard the small Taoist temple really can't afford to eat meat.

A group of men must have something to talk about when they drink, but fortunately, the old Tao is rich in experience, and the cattle blacksmith is also a person who has wandered outside, Xiao Yi, as a traversal family with two thousand years of historical knowledge, has no shortage of talking points, and the cobbler, Da Niu, and Ma Liu have become the best listeners.

The old way of drinking, a shallow taste, a master's demeanor, the ox blacksmith did not dare to persuade too much, so he had to aim the firepower at Xiao Yi, but the result of drinking surprised everyone seated, the rice wine in the bowl of the sea, the four people took turns to toast, and finally the majestic cow blacksmith still felt the wine, his head was swollen, the big cow, Ma Liu was even more drunk and sat there spitting bubbles, but Xiao Yi, who was one to four, did not change his face and did not beat his heart, and did not forget to grab the chicken leg to eat.

Looking at the surprised gaze of the blacksmith Niu, then at the admiring gaze of Da Niu and Ma Liu, and finally at Lao Dao, Lao Dao even if he didn't forget it, it seemed that no matter what earth-shattering thing Xiao Yi did, it should have been like this in Lao Dao's eyes.

By the way, there is also the tangerine leatherman who is sitting there very low-key, if you don't pay attention, it will be too easy to ignore him, and at this time, he is also looking at Xiao Yi with a surprised gaze, looking at it one glance and the next.

"I don't have any flowers on my face, why do you look at me?"

Smelling the fermented rice wine in the bowl at best about 10 degrees, the heart said; "Brother was the god of wine in the class when he was in school, and he was nicknamed "The Grasshopper in the Cup", and after work, he was a veteran of the "alcohol battlefield", and the 60-degree grassland white brother could drink 2 bottles per person, and the 80-degree distilled liquor was also not poured ...... pounds.
