I am going to live forever in the world of mortals

Chapter 53

The brothers and sisters looked at each other and laughed...

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Zhang Xiuyuan was stunned, and joked: "I didn't expect Jiuling and Yingying to have such a relationship, senior brother recruited not only a disciple, but also a son-in-law~"

"Yes~"

Tong Yongzhou sighed with a faint expression, and said sourly: "This bastard has only been in my sect for a year, and he stole my girl's heart."

"Hahaha~"

Zhang Xiuyuan clapped his palms and laughed, and said: "Although Jiuling and Yingying are young, they are talented and beautiful, and they are family members who know their roots well. If they can get together in the future, it might not be a good thing."

"It's a good thing..."

Tong Yongzhou nodded, and said with emotion: "The document for going to Beijing requires family members to accompany him, and I also want to take this bastard with me, but he is young and out of character, and the future of my trip is uncertain, so it is better to leave him in Gusu If something happens to me, he will be able to pass on the Tongjia Medical Center."

Zhang Xiuyuan also knew that his senior brother treated An Jiuling as his own child, so he echoed, "Senior brother is not unreasonable to be worried."

"He's too young after all..."

Tong Yongzhou explained with a sigh: "I will go to Beijing in a few days and hand over the Tongjia Medical Clinic to him, but he is only 14 years old. I really don't worry about him running the clinic alone. So I want to ask my junior brother to help me in my spare time." Take care of one or two, don't ask for great wealth, as long as you can be safe and sound."

"Brother, you don't need to worry too much."

Zhang Xiuyuan smiled and comforted: "Jiu Ling is your disciple and my nephew. It is my job as an uncle to take care of the younger generation. Besides, although Jiu Ling is young, his way of dealing with the world can be regarded as important. It’s mature and moderate, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Tong Yongzhou let out a long breath of relief when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "With the words of the younger brother, this trip will be worry-free~"

"Hahaha~"

The two teachers and brothers exchanged cups and glasses, and the atmosphere was very good.

As a doctor, Tong Yongzhou didn't drink alcohol at first, but he couldn't bear to worry about the future and was in a good mood, so he had a few drinks;

And Zhang Xiuyuan didn't drink alcohol at first, but since the little turtle absorbed the smoke and fire of the world, and watched those memory clips that can be called suffering in the world, he gradually fell in love with the feeling of being slightly drunk...

It was obviously a luncheon, but the two brothers and sisters who were about to part had a little drink and chatted until the evening.

Zhang Xiuyuan thought that he would have to find a craftsman to make a suitable scabbard when he went down the mountain this time, so he didn't stay any longer, and asked his senior brother where there was a good craftsman in the city, then resigned and went to find it.

On a remote small street, I saw several blacksmith shops and carpentry shops in a row, so I knew I was in the right place...

The master in the blacksmith's shop was making agricultural tools with his hammer barebacked. When a guest came, he put down the hammer in his hand and clamped the red-hot wrought iron into the furnace.

Then he wiped the sweat off his face with the towel hanging around his neck, greeted him, and asked, "What does Daoist want to build?"

"Pindao wants to get a scabbard..."

Zhang Xiuyuan pulled out the Dust Shadow Sword from his hand, and asked, "I don't know if Master, the blacksmith shop, can make a suitable scabbard for this sword?"

"What a sword!"

Seeing the sharpness of the unsheathed Dust Shadow Sword, the blacksmith's eyes were straightened, and he swallowed dryly.

As a blacksmith, he has also helped some rangers forge swords, so he can tell at a glance that this sword is not bad, it must be a sword that breaks hair.

Like this kind of sword, it is a treasure that is priceless in the rivers and lakes, and it is also a masterpiece that every blacksmith dreams of...

He shook his head with a sigh, and said regretfully: "I also want to help Dao Lord make a suitable scabbard, but I am a blacksmith here, so I can't do such delicate work as a scabbard."

"But I don't know where to make a scabbard?"

"Master Dao, you have to find a carpenter to do it."

"carpenter…"

Zhang Xiuyuan nodded slightly, cupped his hands and asked: "Pin Dao is new here and is not familiar with this place, can I trouble Master to recommend a master carpenter with fine workmanship?"

"The Daoist is polite."

The master blacksmith wiped the sweat from his face, pointed outside and smiled, "There are several carpentry shops on this street that can make sword scabbards."

His voice paused, and after some hesitation, he said: "Forgive me for talking too much, but the sharp edge of Daoye's sword is a rare treasure, and the ordinary scabbard is really not worthy of this sword."

"Oh?"

Zhang Xiuyuan seemed to understand what he meant when he heard the words, and asked with a smile: "Then master, does the master know which carpenter on this street can make an 'unusual' scabbard?"

The blacksmith smiled and said, "There is an unsigned carpenter's shop at the end of this street. There are several coffins in the shop, which are easy to recognize."

He seemed to think of something as he spoke, and said again: "Although the old Li is a bit lazy, the charge is expensive, and he has good wine, his craftsmanship is really worth mentioning. If the Taoist master can afford the price, you can buy it." Go see him."

"Old Li..."

Zhang Xiuyuan nodded thoughtfully, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master, for letting me know, and I won't bother you if I'm poor."

"Master Dao, you're welcome..."

Zhang Xiuyuan left the blacksmith shop and headed towards the end of the street.

As a craftsman, he is not only lazy, but also greedy for money and good wine, but being recognized by other craftsmen on the street is enough to prove his superb craftsmanship...

Dust Shadow Sword deserves a good scabbard!

At the end of the street, he also saw a carpenter's shop with no signboard and several coffins in the shop. The main reason was that the doors of the carpenter's shop were all tattered, and it was indeed easy to identify...

Perhaps it was because the carpenter's shop was not cared for very often, as soon as he stepped into the door, he smelled a musty smell.

Seeing no one in the carpenter's shop, he frowned slightly and called out, "Is anyone in the shop?"

"..."

"Is Master Li in the shop?"

"Cough cough..."

It wasn't until he called for the second time that there were a few coughs from a coffin in the bunk, and then a withered hand grabbed the coffin's mouth.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat. He thought it was some old ghost. Just as he was about to draw his sword, he saw a sloppy old man sitting up from the coffin, rubbing his eyes sleepily, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"I'm in..."

When Old Li saw a Taoist in the bed, his eyes seemed a little surprised, he straightened up, yawned and crawled out of the coffin.

"I just fell asleep in the coffin and didn't listen."

He casually shook the wine gourd on his waist, muttered something when he saw that he was out of alcohol, and then asked lazily, "What is the Taoist chief doing here?"

"..."

When Zhang Xiuyuan saw the old Li, he understood more clearly and intuitively what the blacksmith just meant by 'lazy'.

"But Master Li in person?"

"You disturbed my sleep just to ask about this?"

Old Li looked around blankly, then grinned and said, "If there is no one named Li in this shop, then it should be me."

"Pindao wants to get a scabbard..."

Zhang Xiuyuan arched his hands and said with a smile: "I heard from the neighbors that Master Li's craftsmanship is superb, and no one in this street can match it, so I took the liberty to visit and asked Master Li to make a suitable scabbard."

"Hey~ It's business, I should have said it earlier..."

When Old Li heard that it was business, his dim old eyes lit up a little, and he immediately put on a smile and said, "Where's the sword? I'll measure the size first. You can just sit down..."

"sit?"

Zhang Xiuyuan looked blankly at the arrangement in the carpenter's shop, but he didn't seem to find a place to sit...

"Oh, right…"

Old Li patted his head, as if he had thought of something, and said a little embarrassedly: "Normally I don't have any guests here, so I don't use a bench, just find a coffin and sit for a while."

"..."
