me and my monster neighbor

Xu Lala was dizzy from the noisy noise of the children, the old man asked him at this moment: "Do you remember this nursery rhyme now?"

Xu Lala was taken aback by the question, and then nodded again.

One of the children, about six or seven years old, screamed suddenly. He jumped three feet high, pointed at Xu Lala with his fingers and said, "Grandpa Jie! Is he also a prophet?!"

The child suddenly turned his head to look at the old man under the banyan tree. He can leak air when speaking, but the air leak cannot conceal the excitement in his tone.

Grandpa Jie's eyebrows were gray, and he nodded with a smile.

The other children present followed the older child and yelled. The older child grabbed Xu Lala's hand and dragged him into the village, shouting as he ran, "The Prophet is here! The Prophet is here again! Uncle Ji! Your knife shop is in business!!!"

Xu Lala was dragged and ran around by the big kid, and those little kids followed behind him.

A few of the young ones can only scream "ahhhhhhhhhhh", another older girl followed closely behind Xu Laila, shouting in another direction: "Uncle Zhao! Uncle Zhao! The business of your sword hall! Coming to the door!"

The girl's voice was crisp, bright and high-pitched, with clear articulation, and it was transmitted directly to the village and town.

This village is not big. Xu Lai was chased by a group of children and ran into the depths of the village after a while. At the end of the lush greenery, there was a drying yard. On the left and right sides of the drying yard were two blacksmith shops. On the gate of the iron shop hangs the door plaque of "Ju's Knife Shop", and in front of the gate of the iron shop on the right stands the signboard of "Zhao's Sword House".

The two blacksmith shops faced each other, less than ten meters apart, and there was an eight-meter-long notice wall in the middle of the drying yard, with various advertising slogans on it.

For example:

"Ju's Knife Shop! A thousand-year-old shop! Craftsman spirit! Trustworthy! If you choose Gu's Knife Shop, the god of destiny will eventually choose you!"

Another example:

"Zhao's Sword House - a master swordsmith with first-class forging skills in the whole continent. It is the unique origin of good swords. It is your best choice!"

In the middle of the notice wall, the huge discount Battle is written in paint:

"Once the Gu's Knife Shop is shipped, it is guaranteed for a hundred years! Unconditionally replace it with a new one! The Gu's Knife Shop accompanies you as you grow up and grow old! To become your exclusive weapon is our lifelong goal!"

"Zhao's Sword Museum special promotion! Product warranty is unlimited! You are responsible for swinging the sword! I am responsible for casting the sword! The thousand-year-old shop is only to win your trust and favor!"

……

Xu Lai was amazed to see it, but it is common for rivals to have fierce business competition, but what confused Xu Lai was the next scene——

The children's shouts attracted the attention of the villagers, and two teams of burly men ran out from "Jie's Knife Shop" and "Zhao's Sword House" respectively to find out.

There are three or four people in each of the two teams. The leader is a shirtless middle-aged man, and there are two or three young people. The gangster forces who will fight if the two teams disagree.

The older boy dragged Xu Lai to the knife shop on the left. He brought Xu Lai to the "Jie's Knife Shop" in front of the team, raised his head and said to the bald man standing at the front, biting his cigarette holder: "Jie Uncle! This is the Prophet who has just arrived in our Datie Village. The Prophet traveled through mountains and rivers, and the road was bumpy. He came here just to get the dragon sword from Uncle Gu’s house! Uncle Gu, you can’t let the Prophet down! "

The corners of Xu Lala's mouth twitched slightly, he had to admire the big kid's solid soliciting skills.

Xu Lala raised his head, and his eyes just met the bald uncle of Jie's Knife Shop. The uncle's resolute face has been burned black and red all year round, and even his eyes are dark red. His eyes are like knives, piercing and bright. , but the foothold of the line of sight is the square bandage on the back of Xu Lala's right hand.

Seeing him shaking the cigarette holder in surprise, Xu Lala subconsciously covered the bandage on the back of his right hand with his left hand.

Xu Lala thought to himself: This bald man might doubt his identity as a prophet. After all, the legendary human prophets are all invincible and invincible existences, but Xu Lala was injured.

At this time, the little girl who was chasing up from behind also took Xu Lala's other hand, and while she was pulling Xu Lala to the Zhao's Sword House opposite, she persuaded Xu Lala, "The knives forged by my father are not as good as those made by Uncle Zhao." Good sword! Prophet brother, my brother looks like a jade tree and looks dignified. It’s not good to use a big sword, and you are more suitable for a sword! Uncle Zhao on the opposite side is the best at forging swords! Only he can forge the demon-slaying sword you need!"

Xu Lala was pulled up by two children, one head and two big. He asked the little girl with a confused face: "Is your father the owner of the knife shop over there?"

The little girl nodded and said, "My name is Ji Shengnan!"

The little boy on the other side refused to admit defeat and shouted: "My name is Zhao Tienan!"

Xu Lala struggled to sort out the identities of the two little kids. The owner of the Gu family's knife shop was surnamed Gu, and the little girl belonged to the Gu family, but forced him to the sword hall; the owner of the Zhao family's sword shop was surnamed Zhao, and the little boy was Zhao. His sons and grandchildren dragged him all the way to the Gu's knife shop.

……

Xu Lai Lai was so dazed that he could be regarded as smooth now.

It wasn't the first time that Xu Lai encountered this kind of shopping guide who was stalking for performance, but it was the first time he encountered a shopping guide who was stalking for the performance of his opponent.

Xu Lala was in a daze, when the bald uncle from the Jie's Knife Shop came over with his cigarette holder in his mouth. He was tall and strong, but he was not tall, not even 1.7 meters tall. Standing in front of Xu Lala, he was half a head shorter than Xu Lala. His body size is more than twice that of Xu Lai's, and his gaze is like a torch, with a coercive presence.

Xu Lala was very cautious in his heart, worried that there would be a scene where the villagers of Haomeng Town asked him to prove himself as a prophet, but when the bald uncle approached, he suddenly laughed and said polite words: "Master Prophet, you have worked hard this journey , it’s rare for you to come to our Blacksmithing Village, why don’t you just stay here, we have to treat you well!”

The adults came out, and the two children holding Xu Lai on the left and right were only willing to let go at this time.

Xu Lela frowned. He compared Haomeng Town back and forth, and found that the villagers in Datie Village, regardless of gender, old or young, had a "weird" attitude towards the prophet. They were not surprised, and they did not regard Xu Lela as the savior. Just a guest from afar.

Shenwu Gui answered Xu Lai's doubts online: "The enchantment in this village is solid, and their ancestors have never been harassed by monsters for generations. They don't know the dire situation in the demon world, and they don't need human prophets to save them."

They are flowers that really grow in the greenhouse. This blacksmith village can be called a paradise in the demon world, far away from the bloody and cruel outside disturbances.

They don't need to pray for the coming of the human prophets, and the human prophets have to come here on their own initiative to get the novice props, Dragon Slaying Knife and Demon Slaying Sword.

Xu Lala politely declined the warm reception from the bald uncle: "I still have something urgent, so I need to ask the uncle for help. How long will it take to forge the Dragon Slaying Saber?"

The bald-headed uncle replied, "It's easy to say, easy to say", but then changed the subject: "My dragon-slaying knife is blunt and heavy, and it is too cumbersome. I sincerely recommend to you, little brother, the opposite Zhao's Sword Hall. The demon-slaying sword made by his family The sword is called a good hand, it is easy to carry, easier to use, and it is more attractive when going out, little brother, why don't you go to the opposite door to have a look first?"

?

Xu Lala was implicitly turned away by the shopkeeper, just as he was wondering, a group of people from Zhao's Sword Gym at the opposite door also surrounded him.

The owner of Zhao's Sword Gym is a hulking uncle with a small chin on the back of his head. He has a sturdy physique and is as strong as a bull. His arms are wrapped with thick cloth strips. His right hand is thicker than his left, and his arm is like a sledgehammer. , A solid punch can knock down three Xu Lai.

Uncle Jiujiu raised his left hand and patted Xu Lala's shoulder, and wrapped his right hand around the bald uncle. The two brothers hooked his shoulders nicely, put his back on his back, and laughed boldly: "I knew Brother Jie was doing it again on his own." Modesty, little brother, the Dragon Slaying Knife of the Gu family is well-deserved. Looking at the mainland, it is the only one. You should have heard that the dragon is so hard that no knife can hurt it. It's different, with the Dragon Slayer on your shoulders, you will be invincible hahahaha!"

Xu Lala also learned from this little uncle that the original name of Datie Village was not Datie Village, but "Sword Village".

Uncle Jiujiu said: "Swords and swords, the sword is in the front and the sword is in the back. Doesn't it mean that the sword is better than the sword hahaha!"

The village name "Sword Village" has been used for hundreds of thousands of years. Until a few decades ago, the grandfather of the previous owner of the knife shop, that is, the current owner of the knife shop, insisted on "letting the virtuous". The villagers should call the village "Sword" Sword Village” still retained the ancestral “Sword Village” and launched the first rainbow fart battle in history. The competition was so fierce that it lasted for more than several months. Village", the two rankings are in no particular order.

Xu Liexin said that you might as well change the name to "Kwa Kua Village", or "Rainbow Fart Village" to be more appropriate.

This is the first time that Xu Lai has seen each other boasting that the other party can also boast of a sword-ridden battle, and it can be regarded as an increase in knowledge.

Uncle Jiujiu slapped the bald-headed uncle violently on the shoulder, causing the cigarette holder he was biting in his mouth to tremble.

The bald uncle held his palm with a smile, and the creases at the corners of his eyes flew into his hair. He turned his head to Xu Lala Anli and said, "My knives can at most cut dragon scales, but the Zhao family's demon-slayer The sword is for killing demons. The sword is lighter and more practical. If you want to wander in the demon world, you must need a demon sword. Think about it, aren’t all monsters rampant in the demon world? There are very few monsters in the process of fighting. Changing into the original shape, walking across the world with a sword, one person, one sword, how happy and unrestrained hahahaha!"

The bald-headed uncle and the little uncle are both smiling on the surface. Both of them look like vicious and evil leaders of the underworld, but when they open their mouths, they compliment each other. Blow each other's rainbow farts.

One pushes the opponent's sword forcefully, claiming that his sword is too blunt and heavy to use.

One recommended the other party's knife, claiming that the sword he tempered was "sharp and sharp, and cannot be kept for a long time". To be sharp, the blade must be sharpened thinner and easier to curl.

The owner of the knife shop said, "The sharpness of the sword is good hahaha".

The owner of the sword hall said, "The long-lasting sword is good hahaha".

No matter how dull Xu Lai was, he could tell that the two major weapons shops and forging halls were shirking each other. He was caught in the middle and listened in a daze. He looked up and saw the eight-meter-long graffiti advertising wall in the middle of the drying yard. I'm afraid it will be the second battlefield for the two sides to advertise for their opponents.

Xu Lala took a deep breath, interrupted them, and said, "You two bosses, don't worry too much, I want both the knife and the sword."
