Chapter 7: The Golden Gun

In September of the first year of Zhongping, after two months, Zhang Xiu finally came to live in Jincheng, with Dong Zhuo's letters, he became an ordinary official in Jincheng, and there was no work, as long as he usually maintained order in the city, Zhang Xiu didn't care, but he knew that there would be a rebellion in Xiliang soon after, and it was time for him to come out, and now the key is to make a good gun.

After a few days of investigation, Zhang Xiu came to a dilapidated small blacksmith shop, which was very dilapidated, if it were not for the heat coming from inside and a handful of various farm tools and kitchen knives hanging outside, Zhang Xiu would not have thought that this dilapidated hut was an ironsmith.

Zhang Xiu got inside, saw that no one came out to say hello, and no one responded after shouting a few times, so he picked up the hanging kitchen knife and farm tools to look carefully, the kitchen knife and farm tools were not too sharp, Zhang Xiu picked up a boning knife again, just picked it up, the blade reflected the sunlight outside but shone on Zhang Xiu's eyes. Zhang Xiu squinted, picked up the boning knife and gently cut the tail of the spear in his hand, the spear was cut off a small piece by the boning knife, and the boning knife only collapsed.

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but praise: "Good craftsmanship." He knew that the standard spear in his hand was made of high-quality fine iron, which could only be used by some small generals in the army, and the boning knife was not made of high-quality fine iron, but after being forged by a blacksmith, a small piece of the spear could be cut, which showed the high skill of this blacksmith.

At this time, Zhang Xiu heard someone say: "Young man, but you are calling?" ”

Zhang Xiu turned his head to look and saw a middle-aged man coming out of the inner room, Zhang Xiu arched his hand and said: "I got a piece of meteorite iron in the sky in the next occasion, I heard that Mr. is a top craftsman in Xiliang, and I want to ask Mr. to forge a spear for Xia." ”

The middle-aged man said, "Oh? Show me the iron. ”

Zhang Xiu said, "Please wait a moment, sir." Then he went out to the door and took a package from his horse, and opened it in front of the middle-aged man, but inside was a large piece of meteoric iron. The middle-aged man touched the meteoric iron, his eyes were half-squinted, and then asked Zhang Xiu: "How long do you want to forge, what if you want to forge two catties?" ”

Zhang Xiu said: "The nine-foot spear weighs fifty-four pounds. ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get the gun in seven days." I look at you with a big bow on your back, it should be a person who is good at shooting, this iron weighs a hundred catties, it has gone to impurities, there is still more than one after forging a gun, I will forge a big bow and a sword for you, so good? ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "That's very good, I'll come to get the blade in seven days." With that, he threw down a silver ingot, turned and left.

Why do you say why Zhang Xiu has such a large piece of meteorite iron and a large piece of gold, but because Zhang Xiu came to Jincheng on the way, when he first entered Liangzhou, he encountered a horse thief robbery, and the group of horse thieves was naturally not Zhang Xiu's opponent, and was directly wiped out by Zhang Xiu into the old nest, and got a lot of property and that large piece of meteorite iron from the thief's den, Zhang Xiu was happy, and even said good luck, just wanted to build weapons and someone sent high-quality iron. Therefore, after Zhang Xiu settled down in Jincheng, he immediately inquired where there was a good blacksmith, and it happened that there was a famous craftsman in Xiliang in Jincheng, and he didn't know his name, and the people around him only called him Uncle Ma, and after Zhang Xiu found it, there was a scene.

Seven days passed quickly, Zhang Xiu came to the dilapidated blacksmith shop, but felt that it was steaming inside, obviously not yet completed, Zhang Xiu entered the house. As soon as he stepped into the inner room, he felt a little hotter, Zhang Xiu's eyes were sharp, and as soon as he entered, he saw the long sword placed on the desk and a large bow that had been completed.

The sword was three feet long, and the whole body was pitch black, Zhang Xiu picked up the long sword and scratched it on his armor. "Wow", the pieces of armor were easily cut open, revealing the clothes inside. Zhang Xiu couldn't imagine that this black long sword could be sharpened like clay, put down the long sword and picked up the big bow, holding the bow in his left hand and pulling the string in his right hand, with Zhang Xiu's strength, he could pull the bow to a full string, but Zhang Xiu knew that if this bow was harder, it would be difficult to pull the bow by himself, which was not conducive to his continued combat on the battlefield, but at this time it was just right.

At this time, Zhang Xiu was not only amazed by the strength of this middle-aged blacksmith's forging, but also surprised that he had amazing insight and judgment, just by the short contact of the day and the weight of the required spear, he could guess what Zhang Xiu's strength was, so as to forge a big bow suitable for him, and then look at the long sword Zhang Xiu also estimated that the blacksmith's craftsmanship would not be bad.

The middle-aged blacksmith's forge was in the courtyard of the inner room, and at this time Zhang Xiu had already seen that the spear had been formed, and there were still some final steps missing, and Zhang Xiu didn't know much about it, so he stood quietly and waited.

When Zhang Xiu was waiting, he saw that the sky was suddenly bright, and this golden light shone on the spear that had been formed, and then Zhang Xiu heard a tiger roar in the air, and then he felt a golden light that was brighter than the one falling on the spear, Zhang Xiu was single and half-covered his eyes, and saw that the middle-aged blacksmith was not moved by the vision, and used tongs to pick up the spear and put it into the pool next to it, and a burst of white steam rose from the pool, making the whole yard white.

Then Zhang Xiu heard the middle-aged blacksmith laugh happily: "A vision from the sky, it is indeed a divine weapon, a divine weapon, my Ma family has finally forged a divine weapon." After saying that, he laughed maniacally.

When Zhang Xiu looked at it again, he saw a golden sunlight shining in the courtyard in the early morning, as if the golden light just now was this golden sunshine. Zhang Xiu couldn't figure out this, from the perspective of what he had learned in the 21st century, the scene of the so-called vision from the sky just now should be the morning sun just shining on the spear, and then there happened to be a cry like a tiger's roar nearby, making it look like a vision falling from the sky. If Zhang Xiu was still a man in the 21st century, he would definitely not believe that this was a vision from heaven, but now that he has experienced such a bizarre crossing, he has some belief that this is a vision from heaven.

But no matter what, he knew that he had a magic weapon from today. Zhang Xiu immediately walked to the blacksmith and looked at the spear he was holding in his hand, ignoring the horse blacksmith who was still worshipping. Zhang Xiu grabbed the spear, only to see that the whole body of the gun was shining with a layer of golden light for some reason, Zhang Xiuduan took a closer look recently but saw that the whole spear was still made of metal like the long sword of Fang Cai, but this gun was more shiny than the long sword, and it was like shining golden light from a distance after the reflection of the sun. The head of the gun is in the shape of a tiger's head.

Zhang Xiu saw that this gun was unusual, gently stroked the body of the gun, and murmured: "From now on, you will be known as the Tiger Head Golden Gun, and you will fight the world with me, and gather all the heroes in the world." I don't know if the spear has a spirit, Zhang Xiu felt that after he finished speaking, the tiger's head golden gun shook in his hand, which made Zhang Xiu like it even more.

After putting down the five gold medals and thanking the blacksmith, Zhang Xiucai took the big bow on his back, hung the long sword at his waist, and then left with a gun and a horse.
