Chapter 3

......

6Ankang finally chose a cautious approach.

It is best not to reveal the identity of this so-called "Ankangjun".

After all, his mission only requires eliminating the witch who turned into a resentful ghost after seven days.

It is a very simple but practical truth to have more things than to do.

When he entered the city and walked to the street, in order to hide his identity as an outsider, Ankang initially pretended to be mute and walked on the street, trying his best to listen to the accent of Ye people in this era around him.

Even though he was subjected to many strange gazes, he didn't care. This was his personality.

......

Fortunately, over the past thousands of years, the Central Plains accent has been passed down quite completely. With the foundation of Central Plains dialect, 6 Ankang quickly mastered the accent of the people in Ye and began to ask about the location of the blacksmith shop.

Before King Ying Zheng of Qin unified the six kingdoms, the jurisdiction of weapons was not strictly controlled.

Even the monarchs of all countries wished that the whole nation would be soldiers to enhance the combat effectiveness of the country.

So, 6Ankang soon found a blacksmith shop.

There were three shirtless old men in their forties and fifties in the shop. Seeing that they were skillful in making irons, 6 Ankang probably completed a special long sword within two days, which should not be a problem. But the problem was that 6 Ankang had no money! When he proposed to exchange for a long sword for a few days of hard work, they decisively pushed out the ironshop.

The Bronze Sword is just one of the equipment needed by Ankang.

For a while, I don’t have to take it down.

He turned to search for peach trees, but fortunately, this thing is not expensive, so many wild peach trees can be found outside Ye County.

Peach is the essence of the five woods, also known as immortal wood. It has the magical power of suppressing houses and warding off evil spirits. According to ancient myths, Kuafu chased the sun, died of thirst, and turned into a peach forest. There is Shentu Yulei. The two gods used peach swords to kill demons to protect the peace of the people.

The size of the peach wood sword of the same material has nothing to do with its power. The strength of the power only depends on the quality of the peach wood.

Generally speaking, the longer the age, the greater the power of this peach wood sword.

As the saying goes, "Peach, three apricots, four pears, five years."

Peach trees usually only last thirty years, or forty-five years. But a hundred-year-old peach trees are extremely rare, let alone a thousand-year-old peach trees.

Therefore, the "This sword is a thousand-year-old peach tree" is always done in TV dramas, which is a saying to deceive the audience. Even if there is one, it is not an ordinary peach tree seen on the roadside.

As for how to make these ordinary peach trees exert great power, it still requires some fine processing in the later stage. But now 6 Ankang does not have much time to fine-process these peach trees. Besides, he does not have the ability in this regard. He can only rely on what he has learned to carve simple and practical talismans that can exorcise evil spirits.

During the process of completing these, 6 Ankang couldn't help but wonder: "If the man-pie Luyan brought a person who doesn't understand these precepts here, how should this person save Ximen Bao?"

Shake your head!

6 Ankang feels that most people who don’t understand these precepts will not expect that their mission will be to save Ximen Bao. They will definitely stay here like a time traveler in the novel, and will even directly replace Ximen Bao who died seven days later, and then take a time travel journey without shaking the birds!

It is precisely because of this difference—

6 Ankang focused on his mahogany sword making, because he knew that he did not want to stay here, and if he wanted to go back, he had to save Ximen Bao.

Perhaps he was too careful and he had never seen a person behind him when he appeared.

When 6 Ankangjue came over and turned to investigate, the man had already knelt down on one knee and saluted at 6 Ankang, "Greetings to Mr. Ankang, my grandfather is welcome!"

Call yourself Ankangjun?

6 All Ankang could think of was the soldier commander at the city gate, and only he knew his identity as Ankangjun.

Unexpectedly, someone found out now.

Looking at him dressed in blue clothes, with a sword hanging around his waist, thick calluses between his fingers, and he appeared behind him quietly.

6 Ankang could tell that the man in blue in front of him should be a good swordsman.

6 Ankang learned the local dialect and asked the swordsman in green: "Who is your master?"

"It's the local courtier!" replied the Qingyi swordsman.

Tingzhuan?

A county magistrate's subordinate?

"Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of the Creative": "Ye, the three elders, the court officials often paid tribute to the people every year, collected millions of money, and used 200,000 to marry Hebo's wife, and shared the remaining money with Zhu Wu to return."

At this moment, the official who was lucky enough to survive Ximen Bao's kindness in the story of the Qingyi swordsman's wife.

What happened to this person later? Naturally, history would not make too many pens and inks on such a small person.

But since he had just appeared here, the courtier learned the news and sent a swordsman in green to come over to him.

It can be seen that in Ye, the methods of the courtiers... are far less simple than the few strokes recorded in the book.

6Ankang stood up straight, and the human skin route gave him a not-so-low identity.

Even Ximen Bao had to respect him for his official position. What's more, he was just a county magistrate. 6 Ankang pointed to the three peach wood swords that had been made around him. The blue-clothed swordsman immediately understood what he meant, stood up, and took the initiative to put away the peach wood sword.

This is not an official airshot.

This is just a necessary attitude to integrate into this feudal society.

From the eyes of the swordsman in Qingyi's obedience, it can be seen that there is no superiority and inferiority in his bones, and there is no so-called freedom and equality.

So it is a kind of willingness that he can take things for 6 Ankang from the bottom of his heart.

Under the leadership of the Qingyi Swordsman, 6 Ankang went to Tingsheng's house.

Along the way, he continued to maintain a tacit attitude.

This point, in the eyes of the Qingyi Swordsman, is completely in line with the identity of 6 Ankang - because those noble people are extremely reluctant to deal with them, such as the untouchables, even in words.

......

Soon, the grand courtyard of the Tingken Officer appeared in Liu Ankang's sight.

If you ask 6, how can Ankang see the grandeur of this courtyard?

That would be simpler.

From the city gate to the Tingyeon family, there were seventeen alleys. Most of them were dilapidated houses, and hungry people in broken clothes could be seen everywhere on the streets. When the Tingyeon family's yard came into view, it was a completely different world feeling.

Seven-story steps, not exceeding the knee-length door.

I don’t know if the truth is that “the higher the threshold, the richer the family” is becoming popular at this time, but the fact that the threshold of the Tingyeon family is twice as high as all the thresholds he has seen along the way is true!

It seems that he has been greedy for money over the years!

6 Ankang thought to himself: If Ximen Bao recorded in historical books, he would have won this courtier sooner or later. Unfortunately, history always left so many foreshadowings, giving future generations endless imagination.

......

Under the guidance of the Qingyi swordsman, 6 Ankang was taken to the lobby of the courtyard, with good tea and waiting for the arrival of the courtier.

After all, with the title of "Jun", the court clerk did not let Liu Ankang wait for too long, so he trotted all the way.

When he arrived at Ankang, he didn't even dare to raise his head and apologized repeatedly: "I've been waiting for Ankangjun for a long time, it's a villain's fault!"

The etiquette of the Warring States Period was unclear. But he knew that the title of "Jun" was given to him, so he occupied a high point of etiquette. After all, there were not many officials in the entire country that could be greater than Jun.

6 Ankang observed for a moment. He was in his thirties and was thin. Judging from his face, people with tight cheekbones had cunning colors that ordinary people did not have. This is just common sense. What made 6 Ankang curious was that this court officer actually had a strong aroma of powder, like a aroma of powder from a woman.

Seeing that there were still a few beads of sweat on his forehead, I couldn't help but wonder if he had just gotten up from a woman.

6 Ankang stretched out his hand gently and signaled: "Get up and talk!"

"yes!"

The Tingshu nodded and won, slowly straightened his waist, and his eyes still did not dare to look directly at 6 Ankang. It should be a relationship of etiquette between superiors and subordinates. But after a rough glance, he unexpectedly found that the Ankangjun in front of him was so young. Although there are many such young and promising officials in the whole country, there are still a few who are as young as 6 Ankang who has a "jun" title.

6 Ankang has a calmness of age, which may be due to his taciturn state.

In fact, it is because 6 Ankang has been dealing with corpses all year round, and over time, he has become this silent personality.

During the entire conversation, except for the beginning sentence, 6 Ankang was the word "yes".

Until the end, he still said coldly: "I am in a submissive way this time, do you know what do you mean?"

"The official understands!"

The Tingwei nodded repeatedly and was about to send An Kangjun away. When he was about to come, he suddenly asked An Kang to stay for a while, saying that he was going to the backyard to get some local specialties, which was considered as a sign of the friendship of landlords.

6Ankang didn't notice any problems, and there was nothing important, so he waited.

When the local specialty was presented to Liu Ankang in the form of a pallet red cloth, he opened it and looked: "Your local specialty is unique..."

That full of tray of round coins.

Round coins, also known as round gold and ring coins, are copper coins in the Warring States Period. They are mainly circulated in places such as Qin and Wei during the Warring States Period. They are round and have a round hole in the center. There is a word cast on the coins. One theory is derived from spinning wheels; or from bi rings, and they are also the predecessor of square hole coins.

In 6 Ankang cognition, this is a full plate of antique coins.

I only know that I am short of money to build a bronze sword. And the money I have in front of me is enough for him...

When his fingers hesitated to touch those round money...
