When the aristocratic families in the world were impacted by Wuyin City, there were a group of Taoist priests looking at the sky in some unknown mountains.

In this deep mountain, ancient trees and strange trees can be seen everywhere, and strange streams and paths circling each other.

"Master, has something changed in the sky?" A little Taoist boy looked at his master and his brothers sitting cross-legged on a strange rock, staring at the sky, and asked in confusion.

"There is no change in the sky. There is still a sun during the day and a moon at night. It's just that the breath on the ground has changed a little!" The old Taoist priest stroked the white beard on his chin and turned to the disciple behind him and said, "The ground has changed, it has become a little different. We should go out for a walk!"

"Zuoyi, for the elder brother, you will take your junior brothers in the mountains. I will go outside first to see what has changed?"

"Yes, Master, I will definitely take good care of my junior brother!" The person standing in front stood up and respectfully saluted the old Taoist.

"Master, there is movement in the stream, and some fish are taking the bait!" At this time, the little Taoist boy pointed at the stream excitedly and shouted.

"The fish hook is not a fish hook, and the bait is not a fish bait. How can you catch fish? Those are all illusions, hahaha..." The old Taoist voice became ethereal in this valley.

The body also disappeared from the strange rocks.

The people present seemed to be accustomed to it. Looking at the place where his master was, he said, "The last time he went out, he said that the yellow color spreads on the ground. This time he just said that there was a change on the ground, but he didn't say anything about the change!"

...

At the same time, a iron shop in the north of Wuyin City.

This iron shop has existed since four generations before its ancestors and is well-known in Wuyin City because this shop is mainly responsible for building weapons for the army.

The iron shop is now Geng, an old man from Geng, who is now fifty years old, has a woman and a son. His son Geng Ren is nearly thirty years old this year and is preparing to take over in recent years.

His daughter just turned fifteen this year.

Because the iron shop has always had work to do, their lives are relatively affordable than others.

"Dad, our ironworking family is so powerful and our skills are so good. Why don't you register at the government office and get it if you have money, and you can get it tax-free?" Geng Ren said as he played with the tools that were about to be formed in his hand.

"You boy, you are so greedy!" said Old Man Geng: "General Bai gave us almost ten acres of land and only collected 30% of the tax. This is already a great kindness. How can you still think about tax exemption?"

"I don't register, but you kid don't study hard. If you can learn well, I can hand over this shop to you with peace of mind, and I'll repay the general long ago!"

"I understand, dad, I will study hard!" Geng Ren blushed after being scolded by old man Geng, and then said, "But Dad, who is this General Bai? Why is it so different from the previous prefect? ​​Have you ever seen him?"

"It's not said that we have seen it. When we were reading the notice some time ago, General Bai happened to be there. He saw it from afar. He looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was really a hero and a young man!" Old Man Geng recalled the scene when he saw Bai Xi at that time, with admiration on his face: "It's just that General Bai seemed to have cleared those big landlords a few days ago, and now he is busy recruiting people. And seeing the general has a lot of ideas, we will see it there!"

"Now Wuyin is much more lively than before, and people are starting to become more and more. General Bai is really a lucky star for Wuyin!"

Little did they know that at this time, there were two young people, and a mighty person walking into the door of the iron shop.

"Is Old Man Geng here?"

"Yes?" Old Man Geng heard something at the door and immediately walked out to take a look: "Ah? Meet General Bai!"

"Old man Geng, don't be too polite. Get up quickly, get up quickly!" Bai Xi hurried forward to support him.

"You kid, you're just here to pay homage. This is General Bai!" At this time, seeing Geng Ren staying aside, Old Man Geng said quickly.

"No, no, get up quickly, get up quickly!"

When I first met Bai Xi, Geng Ren was a little dazed.

"General Bai is so busy, it's really a shame to come to my shop!" Old Man Geng was very excited to see Bai Xi at such a close distance.

"I'm here to ask for help!" Bai Xi continued, "I heard what I said in the city that the old man was the best in the city, why didn't he register at the government?"

"Ah, this..." Seeing Bai Xi so friendly, Old Man Geng said the truth: "I see what the general does in the city, and I want to repay the general's kindness immediately, but my son is not good enough, and my skills have not been truly passed to him, so I don't..."

It turns out that it is a matter of inheritance, so it is easy to deal with.

Bai Xi felt a little relieved when he heard this.

In fact, since the recruitment of talents, Bai Xi was particularly interested in scholars and craftsmen.

First, there is a lot of statistical work to be done now, and secondly, I have some ideas about weapons.

"Old Man Geng thinks this way, he is also determined!" Bai Xi continued: "Old Man, I promise you that as long as I am in Bai Xi for one day in the city, your shop will always have business."

"In addition, with the old man's ability, I will reward him with another 10,000 yuan a year. In this way, the old man should agree to go to my place!"

Bai Xi knew that some experience and skills were passed down from family to make future generations able to live on this craft for generations.

This is roughly the case with Mr. Geng. He was afraid that his skills would be passed to others, so he would lose a bite of food at home.

As long as he makes this promise, he should dispel his concerns in this regard.

"The general is so sad that he dares not take it!" As expected, the old man bowed again.

"These are all obtained by the old man by his ability, and they deserve it!" Bai Xi took out a drawing from his sleeve and handed it to the old man, "Look at it, is this thing easy to create?"

The old man took the drawings and looked carefully: "General, there are three small scimitars inside, and then what are these in circles?"

The Geng family has created many weapons, and they can be said to have seen them all, and they are very confident, but what Bai Xi shows him now is unheard of in his memory.

"This is indeed a scimitar, but this scimitar is relatively small!" Bai Xi pointed to the circle: "This is a spring, which has elasticity, which can increase or decrease the distance of the scimitar. When it comes to this device, it is conducive to hiding!"

In fact, what Bai Xi painted is a very ordinary switchblade in modern times.

Because most cavalry use long scimitars now, of course scimitars and cavalry are very suitable.

But when close, it is difficult to take action on a long scimitar.

If you add a switchblade to the long scimitar and a button to the long scimitar, it will have an unexpected effect.

So Bai Xi also brought Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao here this time.

"General, I'm not sure about it. This scimitar can be done, but this is the first time I have heard of the spring mentioned by the general. I don't know how to make this thing for a while!"

"Old man think about it, is this OK?" Bai Xi took out another drawing from his sleeve based on his memory in his previous life and continued to say to the old man: "You can first make a mold of similar, with curves inside, then cut it open, close it when using it, pour the metal liquid in, and then open it after solidification!"

“See if this mold can be done?”

After Bai Xi finished speaking, Geng Gang studied the drawing carefully again. After a while, he seemed to have received some inspiration and sighed: "It's really exquisite!"

"Old Man Geng, the mold should be OK, right?"

"Yes, yes!" After saying that, Geng Gang knelt down again: "I just read the general's drawing and was greatly inspired!"

"In the eyes of others, such things must be a treasure, but the general gave them to me directly. This kind of mind makes me ashamed! I will go to the government to register tomorrow, and no longer just settle for this, but will be trampled on the general!"

"Okay, since Mr. Geng said that, I will build a school for Mr. Geng. You will teach a group of disciples. I will guarantee you to be worry-free for generations!" Baixidao.
