Health Martial Saints: Start with soaking your feet

Chapter 11 Eleven: The Forge
It was still early, and Li Suian immediately went home and brought two jars of aged wine.

He took a carriage, and accompanied by Chen Zhonghe, went to the outer city to find Li Ping'an's home.

The inner city and the outer city are completely different worlds.

Li Suian would not wander around the outer city unless necessary.

There are many gangs here, all kinds of protection fees are received by small traders who doubt their lives, and the government can't control them.

I thought Li Ping'an's knife casting workshop was a small workshop.

When we arrived at the boundary, we found that it was a village in a city that occupies a vast area.

Behind the village, there is a towering chimney that goes straight into the sky, black smoke billows up, and the rhythmic knocking of gold and iron can be faintly heard.

Let Chen Zhonghe wait in the carriage, and Li Suian went in alone.

Unlike other weapon shops that are full of cold weapons such as swords, guns and halberds, this weapon shop named Lianfeng only sells knives.

All kinds of long knives hang on the wall, dazzling.

As soon as he entered the door, it seemed that there was a cold knife intent coming towards his face, and there was a continuous sound of hammer knocking in the backyard from time to time.

There is faint smoke from burning coal and the smell of sulfur.

"What kind of knife the customer wants to buy, you can just look at it."

A guy who was maintaining the long knife ignored him after saying hello.

Li Suian happened to look around.

Holding a simple knife in the palm, the hand is cold, and it weighs more than ten kilograms. Most people would struggle to hold it, let alone dance it.I don't know what material it is made of, but there are dots of lines on the body of the knife, which is very beautiful.

There is no man who does not love swords.

Li Suian's martial arts skills are half a bucket, if he is really in danger, the gap between having a sword and not having a sword will be huge, he really wants to buy one for self-defense.

But the life-saving weapon that Huang Henian mentioned meant that he should buy a knife and carry it with him, since he didn't learn how to use a knife.

"Is there a better magic weapon?"

The clerk thought that he disliked the quality of the long sword, and explained: "The guest is joking, advanced magic weapons are hard to come by. Although the swords of our Lianfeng are not high-grade magic weapons, the worst is to forge them with hundreds of tempered steels. The quality of weapons is well-known far and wide. Even Lantern Division ordered the Zanya Sword from our Lianfeng..."

Li Suian interrupted him: "Can you invite Li Pingan out?"

"Ah, you want to find our young master, how dare you ask who the guest is?"

"I am his senior brother."

The buddy was slightly taken aback, remembering that his young master seemed to have joined a martial arts gym in the inner city.

Seeing that Li Suian was well-dressed and fair-skinned, he looked like a pampered and respected person, so he honestly agreed, "Guests, please wait a moment, I will invite the young master right away."

A moment later, a burly young man in a short jacket came out from the backyard. It was Li Pingan.

"Hahaha, I didn't believe it when I heard that a senior brother came to look for me. I didn't expect that it was Senior Brother Li who came to see me. I'm so disappointed to welcome you."

Li Pingan is just over 1.8 meters tall, half a head shorter than Li Suian, but his upper body is terribly strong, his arms are almost as thick as Li Suian's thighs, and he looks like a small Hulk.

Li Suian looked enviously at this guy who exposed his breasts and eight-pack abs in a snowy day, and said with a smile: "It's because I waited for the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and disturbed my junior brother Qingxiu."

"Where is there any cleansing, I still think that the senior brother dislikes the chaos here, senior brother, please come inside. In the past, the senior brother always buys drinks, but today the senior brother rarely comes to my place, so I have to have a good drink in a while."

He had already seen the two altars of aged wine that Li Suian was carrying, "Come here, junior brother, what else do you bring?"

"Senior brother, you are really... Sigh!"

He nimbly stepped forward to help carry the wine.

When they came to the inner courtyard, the weapons shop immediately revealed its true colors.

It can be seen that there are hundreds of big men, shirtless even in the icy and snowy weather, constantly hammering and forging weapons around the stoves.

The red-hot coals in the stove emit raging heat, which also dispels the chill outside.

These hundreds of strong men are also quite a force.

He noticed that in a corner, there were still a few people practicing knives.

"What a huge scale." Li Suian sighed.

Li Pingan said proudly, "What is this!"

"This place is just a branch of the city of Lianfeng. There is a ground fire pit on the side of the Xinghuo Mine, which is a good place to forge knives. Hundreds of thousands of people cast knives together, and the sound of knocking can be heard. But now During the snow season, it is not safe outside, so the mine stopped and most people moved back to the city.”

Li Suian said: "I have heard the name of Xinghuo Mine for a long time, but I have never seen it before."

He had heard that an extremely rare ore, star iron, was produced there.

As a result, armed fights often occurred.

"Brother must go and have a look if you have the opportunity. Our Lianfeng and other forces often fight for the mining area. The battle of thousands of people is no less than a war, but it is very lively."

"Go there if you have the chance."

When I came to a simple living room, before I had a cup of tea, Li Pingan asked directly: "Brother, I have already ordered the kitchen to make a few hard dishes, and with your drunken spring breeze, what will you do later?" If you don’t get drunk, you won’t return.”

Li Suian said: "Don't be too busy. I came here specially to pay a visit to Head Li."

"Visit my father?" Li Pingan was very surprised.

"Who wants to visit the old man?"

A bell-like voice came from outside the door, and then an old man with a big beard walked in.

His physique was exactly the same as Li Pingan's, but he was a head shorter than Li Pingan's.

When Li Pingan used to drink, he seemed to boast that he was the tallest in the family, and it seemed really possible.

Li Suian hurriedly saluted, "Li Suian has met Head Li."

"Father, Senior Brother Li and I are both disciples of Master Huang. In Guishou Hall, Senior Brother Li also takes care of me a lot and often invites me to drink."

The old man looked at the two altars of wine on the table, and the trademark of Zui Chunfeng was particularly obvious, "The brother who invited you to drink is the one who sells Zui Chunfeng in Ruyifang, right?"

Li Pingan said carelessly: "Father, how many people dare to buy me a drink. That is, my senior brother Li is generous, just drink enough wine at home."

Li Suian smiled awkwardly.

I have had a few drinks with Li Pingan, he has a lot of alcohol but poor quality, he always likes to persuade him to drink, he can't break up until he is drunk.

At first, he thought it was just good wine, but now that he saw his father, he realized that it was a genetic factor.

The old man burst into a smile instantly, "Hahaha, old man Li Wentian is the head of this Lianfeng company. My nephew came as soon as he came, so what are you spending money on? Tell the kitchen to prepare a few more side dishes, and I will serve them today Nephew, drink to your heart’s content, and you’re not allowed to return if you’re not drunk!”

ho~
Father and son are exactly the same.

Li Suian is not willing to fight with drunkards, so he immediately explained the purpose of coming: "Uncle Li, the inner city is not peaceful recently, Master Huang is worried that I will not have the power to protect myself in case of trouble, so he recommends me to my uncle, I want to find a god that can defend myself and save my life." Weapons."

Li Pingan asked worriedly: "Is the inner city not safe? I heard today that the inner city has been attacked by evil spirits. Senior brother's Ruyifang is okay."

"It's okay, but the place where the accident happened is not far from Ruyifang."

Li Wentian looked him up and down, "Mr. Huang asked you to come...are you using it for yourself, or buying it for someone else?"

"Of course I use it myself."

"With your level of strength, it's indeed a bad choice."

He saw Li Suian's hypocrisy at a glance, thought for a while and said: "Since Mr. Huang asked you to come, I don't worry. Old man, go and move the small wooden box in the box from my bedroom."

"Okay, Dad."

Li Pingan responded, and a moment later came out with a delicate wooden box in both hands.

Put it on the table and open the wooden box.

Li Suian casually turned his head and glanced, his pupils shrank sharply.
