Li Xuan, who was born with supernatural powers, easily joined the official blacksmith shop.
There is no need for a series of assessments.
The salary of five guan qian a month is earned at sunrise and rest at sunset.
It didn't matter to Li Xuan how much his wages were. Anyway, if he didn't have enough money, he would buy it for zero yuan.
There are so many profiteers in Wangjing City, and there are quite a few who are waiting for me to "act chivalrously and righteously".
"Is that okay, baby?" The leader of the barracks, a one-eyed old man, looked at Li Xuan's not-so-strong body and then glanced at the giant panda: "He also brought a pet..."
This is the 'camp head' of the barracks.
"This baby is born with supernatural powers... quite strong."
"Okay, anyway, if it doesn't work, I won't give it up."
Li Xuan was then taken to the craftsman's room of the official camp, which was called the "miscellaneous camp". In addition to forging sundries from the palace, such as bowls and chopsticks, kitchen knives, and occasionally swords and arrows, most of them were swords from next door. Qiying' is responsible.
Judging from the work done, it is similar to an ordinary blacksmith shop.
However, you can forge weapons and swords - although these things have to be handed over to the Ministry of War.
Apprentices around.
They are all around seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are already very mature.
In this era and at this age, I'm afraid even a baby can be a fool.
However, no matter what age they are, there is always little resistance to cute things. For example, when they see a giant panda, they all want to touch it, but their round belly is irresistible to anyone.
Even the one-eyed old man Sun, who was serious as soon as he entered the door, was wondering if he could get his hands on it.
Li Xuan shook his head regretfully.
"Sorry, he's a bit alienated from people and doesn't like others touching him..."
Everyone expressed regret that they had never seen such a cute and intelligent beast.
However, Li Xuan quickly added that if it was your wife who touched it, that would be fine.
What's the point of this? Everyone was confused.
The reason is that this panda is a perverted panda! He is also a perverted panda with his own taste.

The forging skill has grown very quickly. In just a few days, it has increased by 1 level and added 1 attribute point.
The one-eyed old man at Yingtou did not hesitate to teach him his iron and forging skills.
When there was no one around, Li Xuan stayed in the blacksmith camp by himself.
"Giant panda, breathe fire."
"Ouch!"
The giant panda spit out fire.
"Okay, now squirt."
"puff!"
The tongue of fire in the giant panda's mouth disappeared and immediately turned into a column of water.... Let the forged iron cool down.
This is the effect of spiritual root +1.
Originally, Li Xuan could only use the power of urging fire.
Now able to combine water and fire, the giant panda inherits some of Li Xuan's attributes, that is, it can breathe fire and water... It's very easy to use.
"Huh... This iron spoon looks ready." Li Xuan looked at the iron spoon he had forged and was very satisfied.
Compared with forging skill 2, it is indeed much better...
Thanks to Lao Yetou's generous teaching, he has made such progress.
The next day, Li Xuan showed Master Ye the iron spoon he forged.
After taking a look at the iron spoon, the gray-haired old Ye did not hesitate to praise it.
"You did a good job... You must have had a foundation before."
"I know a little bit, I know a little bit hahaha!"
"Brother Xuan is awesome."
"Yeah, I couldn't have played such a good game when I was fifteen."
"yes...."
The surrounding apprentices were all praising Li Xuan's skills.
Li Xuan smiled innocently, but it was also useful - I am a young fifteen-year-old boy...
As the youngest person present, Li Xuan naturally received care from others...
Whether it's a dinner party together or whatever.
When everyone is talking about what they most want to do.
They all spoke freely.
"I want to be a warrior...I also want to have true energy and be treated like an official!"
"Zhenqi is such a wonderful thing. I heard it can split mountains, crack rocks, and fly into the sky out of thin air!"
"Hahaha, you must have heard too many nonsense from storytellers and shadow puppets. How can a person fly and crack mountains and rocks... Just blow it. It is probably just to fool us people. It is to make us think that these so-called It is only natural for a strong martial artist to have everything."
"That's right..."
Everyone is speaking out.
It seems that everyone has forgotten what 'Qi' is.
And Li Xuan has lived here for so long.
I also know a few things.
The government seems to be intentionally or unintentionally downplaying the true energy and downplaying the influence of warriors...
Whether it is the storytellers in the corner of the city or the shadow puppet theater troupe, they dwell on the lofty legends of the 'Coirin Clothes Guest' and the 'National Master Sword Sage', but they never talk about the feelings of ordinary martial arts masters. They only say that they are in border cities. The fight with those prairie barbarians was fierce.
These things fade away over time....
Martial arts masters seem to be fading out of other people's lives, so that young people only know that having this thing can make them a master, but they don't even have an abstract concept... not much.
Li Xuan always felt... a little strange.
But it is strange.
There's not much to say.
What does it have to do with people like us who make five dollars a month?
And at this time.
Old Man Sun, who was eating wine, said silently in the corner.
"We ordinary people, please remember that peace is a blessing... Why bother to say more or ask more questions about other things? Anyway..."
"If you care about this, you might as well care about whether you are lazy this month and whether your monthly quota will be deducted next month."
"That's true, hahaha..."

"We ordinary people live like this. No matter what the current situation is, if we have a craft, we can always make ends meet..."
"Um....."
Saying final farewell to Old Man Ye.
Li Xuan was still a little reluctant to give up.
The old man with white temples and rickets has long lost the strength to forge iron tools.
He has taught many apprentices in his life.
Li Xuan is one of them...
"Okay, Lao Ye, you can go back to your hometown with peace of mind..."
"Then let me go... Remember, you are not young anymore, it's time to marry a wife... Don't hang around in brothels all the time, save some savings..."
"Okay, okay..."
Then, Old Man Ye retired and returned home.
This is the advantage of being a working craftsman. When you retire and return to your hometown, you will be given some pension money, which will be enough until you are old.
"It's a pity that with my ability to live forever, I'm afraid I won't be able to receive this refund. It's a loss..."
Li Xuan looked a little empty as he watched Old Ye leave.
In this large craftsman camp, only Li Xuan and the giant panda are left...
I have lived here for a long time, and everyone gets along well with each other, living an ordinary life.
Over the years, some people have come in and some have left, but in the end only Old Man Ye is here, and in the end...only himself is here.
Old man Ye always educates his craftsmen.
Ordinary people, just live a good life, and don’t have to think about so many things that are good and bad... No matter whether the theory of strong people is a lie, it doesn’t matter, we, as ordinary people.
As long as you live a good life, it is the best contribution to Daqian. Don't think so much about other things.
Now this craftsman camp is no longer under the control of the arsenal manager...
The court has no money either.
The people are in dire straits... but the complaints are getting worse and worse. The court has no money, and the exorbitant taxes and levies are increasing.
And the reason is probably...the front line is tight.
From the beginning as a 'government-run', now with a small amount of money, the craftsman's business can be turned into a government-private partnership...
Li Xuan naturally took over the craftsman camp and became the boss of the 'Treasure Pavilion'.
Nowadays, Li Xuan is still the head of the craftsman camp, but he is also the boss of the 'Treasure Equipment Pavilion'...
As for the money in the barracks, it is also indispensable for the 'sponsorship' of the blacksmith shops outside.
Including the money from visiting brothels, Li Xuan would always do the thing of "rob the rich and give it to me".
Today, in Wangjing City, there is a public-to-private 'Treasure Pavilion', and there is also a mysterious criminal thief...
"Giant panda, do you think the world is getting better or worse?"
Li Xuan was lying on the chair, eating fruit leisurely.
This Treasure Weapon Pavilion is even easier to build than the Treasure Medicine Pavilion.
Nowadays, it’s only when someone customizes it that you need to do the work yourself.
The needs of the people, the needs of the palace, and a few weapons and swords.
"Ouch~" The giant panda shook his head lazily. The giant panda's head was empty. The giant panda didn't know anything. The giant panda just wanted to be touched by the girl.
At that time, the people were in dire straits, the martial arts masters in the city were in chaos, and the situation was precarious.
Nowadays...it is not that the people are in dire straits, but the people's dissatisfaction is greater than before! Back then, when Zhao Wuliang's sword sect was rampant, the public resentment was not so great.
Nowadays, it is just exorbitant taxes. At that time, martial arts lunatics did not care about the lives of ordinary people when they killed them. Some lunatics even sacrificed the blood of ordinary people's heads first.
It's just that the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are really high now, and the court really has no money. If the court had money, it wouldn't privatize the Arsenal Department's craftsmanship, and also release the certificates for forging swords and swords...
But Li Xuan lived a leisurely life.
Either visiting a brothel, or doing some blacksmithing and practicing.
There is indeed no money in the rear, and the war on the front line is indeed tight.
However, when Li Xuan went to the restaurant, the literati and the people cursed the frontline soldiers, saying that they respected themselves for supporting the bandits. Even the family members of the frontline military camp here also insulted them, calling them bitches. Not a thing, even if they bring their family members to the restaurant to eat, they will be insulted and kicked out.
Li Xuan sounded quite uncomfortable.
There is quite a feeling that Tang Xueyan and Xue Bailu are worthless.
They have been carrying their lives for the rest of their lives.
I have been thinking about how to protect this great force all my life.
to ease the intensified internal conflicts.
In the past, martial arts masters regarded ordinary people as pigs and dogs.
Nowadays, ordinary people do not know how to be respectful, and they only take it as a matter of course for martial arts masters to protect their homes and countries.
"Do you think this prairie man is innately ready to break through? Recently, I feel that the front line is getting tighter and tighter." Li Xuan pondered for a moment and then said: "If he is innate, should we run away first?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch." The giant panda had this acceptable expression on his face. It didn't matter to him anyway, he would follow wherever Li Xuan ran.
Li Xuan didn't care much about Daqian.
Especially in today's situation where people are increasingly unaware of what is meant, running is even more stress-free.
Anyway, the world is so big, wherever there is a world of mortals, there is a place for me to settle down and live my life.
This northern border is not only Daqian, but also other countries, and even the southern border, and...the illusory fairy mansion in the sky.
Today's Daqian.
But it made Li Xuan feel like he could smell something wrong.
But this smell of something wrong...
.....
"Brother Li, I always feel like something is wrong."
"Brother Xue, when you go to the brothel, you like to talk about this, right? The smell of the brothel, how can that be right?" Li Xuan rolled his eyes at the others.
"No, Brother Li, I just feel... something is wrong."
At this time, the handsome scholar who was drinking in front of him said as if he was drunk: "I always feel that there is something weird in the court."
"That's right, the imperial court is right now." The beauty next to her said with a flirtatious look, "Our Chunxiang Building still smells right... right? The beauty smells..."
The scholar did not refuse the beauty and kissed her, but he still said.
"How should I put it? I felt that something was wrong with the imperial court. It was very wrong. Brother Li, I went to tell my master... She also told me not to think too much about it. It was really strange... .”
Li Xuan drank a good drink and looked at the scholar in front of him with interest.
He was seventeen years old and loved brothels.
He is a scholar and does not know martial arts and Qi.
His name is Xue Xuanwu.
He is a descendant of the Imperial Master and the great-great-grandson of Xue Bailu.
Li Xuan thought silently.
Old Xue.
If I take your descendants to visit a brothel, you won’t blame me, right?
