After buying the amulet, Shen Hexi wandered to the other side of the side hall, where there was a long table filled with pendants in a format, and an old monk sat with his eyes closed, reciting unknown scriptures softly in his mouth, The beads in the bag slowly rotate with the sound of his chanting.

"Brother Han, let's ask for a piece of jade to keep you safe. The jade pendant you gave me last time was broken and I can't take it with me." Shen Hexi looked at the long table with a pair of small eyes, feeling that every small pendant is very delicate and beautiful.

"I don't know if there are any jade pendants of better quality here." Li Bohan has no illusions about this small temple. If he wants to send something to Shen Hexi, he must choose the best quality, and this small temple probably has all the jade pendants. Is there any good jade in the stone material?

"How about this." Shen Hexi picked out a nostalgia from a pile of pendants. This nostalgia belongs to gold inlaid jade. A small circle of jade is wrapped in a large golden ring. The jade is of good quality but a little small.

"The jade here is obviously a golden ring." Li Baihan took the nostalgia inlaid with gold and jade from Shen Hexi's hand and weighed it in his hand. The workmanship is not bad, but the material is not very good, and the gold on the outside is not pure gold. It is estimated that the inside It is a metal like brass, and the style of this nostalgia is a bit weird. The jade in the middle is a serious nostalgia, but the outer gold-coated style is not. Generally, the hole in the middle of the nostalgia is very large, and the hole in the middle of this nostalgic gold-coated Very small, only fits through a lanyard.In this way, this jade pendant is more like a piece of gold.

The material used for this nostalgic style is not very good, but the workmanship is extremely fine, and the scriptures engraved on the gold cover are very neat. The value of this carving alone is much higher than that of nostalgic itself.

"I want this." Li Bohan flipped through it in his hands and felt that this nostalgic item is also good for playing around with. These small pendants are all consecrated by the masters in the temple. I don't know how many scriptures I received here every day. The baptism may also have spiritual energy, they still have a long way to Dunliang City, so it is good to think about keeping safe. "This master, I want to ask for a pendant to go back, not only how much sesame oil will be donated for this pendant."

The old monk who had been chanting sutras with his eyes closed opened his eyes and glanced at the two of them and asked indifferently, "I don't know who the benefactor brought it for. Every little thing here is spiritual. If you take it for me to see, there is no need. This little thing It's useless for you to be a fool."

"It's not that I wear it, but my brother wears it." Li Bohan pointed to Shen Hexi who was not as tall as a long table.

"It turned out to be a little benefactor, so donate 100 taels of sesame oil." The old monk closed his eyes again and continued to read his scriptures.

Shen Hexi tugged at the corner of Li Baihan's clothes and said in a low voice, "Brother Han's nostalgia is too expensive, let's not get rid of it, anyway, I have already asked for a safe talisman."

100 taels of silver is not a small amount, he now has only 20 taels of silver and some broken silver copper plates all over his body, this 100 taels of silver can buy a small house in Qingyuan County, so he will not spend so much money to buy one. A nice looking little pendant.

"As long as you like it." As Li Bohan said, he turned around with Huaigu and went to the door to find a young monk to donate 100 taels of sesame oil. Shen Hexi was heartbroken, and the old monk who had been chanting sutras said, "Little benefactor, please remember to hang this Huaigu often. On your body, it can keep you safe for ten years."

"Thank you, master, for your guidance." Li Bohan clasped his hands together and bowed to the old monk.

Immediately, Li Bohan hung the nostalgia around Shen Hexi's neck, and Shen Hexi, full of heartache, touched the nostalgia bought in exchange for 100 taels and really wanted to say, Brother Han Huaigu is for you, you can give me 100 taels of silver.

Feiyun Temple is not big and there is nothing special about it. The two came out of the side hall and went straight to the temple fair outside the mountain gate. Shen and Xi had already seen it when they first arrived. This temple fair really sells everything, as small as snacks Candies are as big as furniture, carriages and horses.

There were quite a lot of people at the temple fair, and Li Bohan was afraid that the two would get separated, so he asked Shen Hexi to sit on his neck and carry him away. "I knew that there were so many people and I should call Yannu here. Yannu is so tall that he would be a giant at this stop." Shen Hexi sat on Li Baihan's neck and said happily.

"Yeah, I don't know that he is so tall in Yannu's ancestral home, so his clansmen are also like him."

"I don't know Yan Nu's ancestral home. He said that he was an orphan and was taken back to Liujiabao by my uncle when he was very young."

The two were chatting while walking, and suddenly Shen Hexi called out, "Brother Han has a sword seller, let's go and have a look."

Ever since Li Bohan promised to teach him the boy sword yesterday, Shen Hexi has been thinking about buying a sword. He is burdened that now he only has a dagger inlaid with gemstones that looks good but is not useful. If he wants to learn swordsmanship, he must buy a decent sword.

"You have good eyes." Li Bohan looked at it for a long time before he saw a flag hanging in the distance, with a hammer and a sword drawn on it.

"I stand tall and look far away." Shen Hexi smiled and twisted his little buttocks.

Passing through the crowd, I saw two strong men vigorously beating a long sword.The long sword has not yet fully formed and can only vaguely see its general appearance.

Behind the strong man is an oilcloth shed. An old man is pulling the bellows to burn the iron stone in the furnace. Several swords of different styles are hung on the wall, some of which are ordinary but sharp.

Shen Hexi got off Li Baihan's shoulders, and went forward to look at the swords hanging on the wall. When the old man saw someone coming to the door, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "Brother, I want to buy a sword."

"Does the store have small swords for children?"

The old man glanced at Shen Hexi who looked curious and said, "If you want to use it for a baby, I'll have to do it now. It won't take much time."

"This will trouble the store." Li Baihan took off the long sword he was carrying from his waist and handed it to the old man, continuing to say, "Can you fight like this?"

The old man took Li Baihan's long sword, his cloudy eyes were full of light, and he praised several times for the good sword, good sword. "Although the old man can't completely follow the sword of my little brother, it can have seven images."

"Okay." Li Bohan readily agreed.

The two discussed the price, and the old man found one about [-] centimeters long from a pile of thick iron bars that had already been laid, and heated it in the red-hot charcoal fire.

The half-person-high bellows made a snorting sound, and Shen Hexi picked up a piece of coal and iron ore from the ground.The Qingmu Kingdom calls coal black gold, and the output is not large. Generally, only blacksmiths who have issued approval documents use it more.Ordinary people use very little. As for this iron ore, Shen Hexi saw it for the first time, so he couldn't help being curious.

The iron ore production of Aoki Country is less than half that of its neighbor Snow Country, so Aoki suffered a lot from weapons during several battles in the past.

Domestic iron ore is in short supply, and good iron ore is held in the hands of the imperial court. When the bottom blacksmiths hold only the worst ore, this kind of ore is similar to stone, and the iron content of the extraction is not high. , I don’t know how much ore I need to use to create a decent sword.

The thick iron bar in the blacksmith shop is a semi-finished product after several purifications. The sword Li Baihan wants is easy to make. The thick iron bar will burn red after a while. Take out the iron bar and beat it on the iron pier outside.

The way they forge iron is very interesting. First, the thick iron bars are beaten into thin bars, and then the thin bars are twisted several times like twisting twists and continue to be beaten. This is repeated five or six times before they start to form a sword shape.

After watching it for a while, Shen Hexi felt a little bored and dragged Li Bohan to other places. He reckoned that his sword would be ready when he was done shopping.

How could he return empty-handed after visiting the temple fair? Shen Hexi bought a pair of good-quality robes for himself, Li Baihan, and Yan Nu. There is a silk brocade in Qingyuan County that is bright in color. I just like this kind of fabric. It is smooth and smooth, which is very suitable for summer wear. Even if I sweat easily in summer, the material does not stick to the skin.

After buying clothes, Shen Hexi bought a large bag of local specialties and some gadgets, and by the time he had finished shopping and eaten, the sun had already set in the west.

When the two went to the blacksmith's shop, most of the stalls had already been closed, and the big blacksmith had already left, leaving only the old man watching the shop.

"The two brothers are here. If you don't come, I will be leaving." Seeing the two men coming to take their swords, the old man quickly took a short sword from the shelf and handed it to Li Baihan, "Let's see if you agree with me." .”

Li Bohan pulled out the long sword from the scabbard with a swish, and saw that the whole body of the sword was as clean as a mirror, emitting a faint cold light, but the blade was not sharp when looking at it.

"Thank you." Li Bohan is very satisfied with the old man's approach. Shen Hexi will inevitably make mistakes when he is still young and practicing swords. Too sharp a blade is not good for him.

Shen Hexi held a sword that was exactly the same as Li Baihan's, not to mention how beautiful it was. On the way back, the two sat in the carriage, and Shen Hexi kept holding the sword in his hand.

"Brother Han, my Qingmu country's casting skills are really powerful, and I was able to forge such a good sword in just such a short while."

"Although the green wood casting technique is powerful, the only store that can imitate swords in a short time is Xianjiantang." Li Bohan pointed to the hilt of the short sword in Shen Hexi's hand, "The marks of a hammer and a sword are unique to his family. of."

"So powerful." Shen Hexi didn't know Xianjiantang, he just saw the sign and subconsciously felt that it should be the place where swords were made.

Shen Hexi was really tired after walking around for a day, and fell asleep after a while in the swaying carriage.Seeing him sleeping soundly, Li Bohan moved his arms a little. The boy had gained weight after being outside for so many days, and his arms went numb after hugging him for a while.

Shen Hexi, who was sleepy and cute, didn't know that Li Baihan was looking at him, and he didn't know what he dreamed of, and he would smack his mouth from time to time.Li Baihan saw that he didn't even sleep honestly, the corners of his lips turned up slightly without noticing, this precocious child has endless energy to release every day, he is completely different from the cautious look when he was in the general's mansion, sometimes he I really wonder if this kid was dropped halfway, why did he leave Yong'an City, he was like a bird flying out of a cage, scurrying around.

Li Bohan was thinking wildly. Suddenly there was a long howling of a bird of prey from the sky. Li Bohan lifted the curtains and looked up to the sky. On the blue sky, an unseen eagle was circling around the carriage.
