Li Bai rushed to Chang'an City with great speed.

After arriving, he did not enter the city, but looked for the address given by Liu Bang, inquired all the way, and finally found an ancient village.

There are about dozens of families in the village, and there is a deserted corner. There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, with weeds growing next to it, and two big characters are engraved on the stone tablet: Jianling.

When Li Bai entered the village and asked if there were anyone who was good at making swords here, everyone in the village kept silent and had a little unfriendly look in his eyes.

Li Bai almost asked in the village, but no one knew any sword-casting person. Seeing that it was getting late, he had no choice but to stay in a family for a night, thinking that he would not be able to find it again when it was dawn. He could only hurry up and go to Chang'an City to report his life. If he missed the imperial edict, he would not be able to afford to be guilty.

Zhisu's family is an elderly widowed man, and he seemed to be unable to hear it. Therefore, Li Bai did not ask him about making a sword and gave the old man a ingot of silver. The old man happily arranged a wing room for Li Bai, saying that it was a wing room, but in fact it looked like a cowshed, with air leakage everywhere and dark and humid.

The old man also greeted Li Bai and had dinner together. It was nothing more than some vegetable leaves, barely wrapped around his belly. There was no place to drink in the village, so he could only go back to the room and lay down early.

In the middle of the night, a loud noise woke Li Bai up. When he put on his clothes and went out, he felt a faint murderous aura in the air.

Suddenly, a face full of wrinkles was illuminated. The deep ravines reflected under the dim oil lamp, making people even more terrifying and cautious. Li Bai was shocked when he saw that he was so close to him.

The old man's old voice recalled: "Young man, what do you want to do if you don't sleep in the middle of the night? Be careful of catching a cold."

Li Bai sniffed: "Oh, oh... nothing, I just heard a sound, come out and take a look."

The old man said in a deep voice: "Where is the sound? Go to bed quickly!"

Li Bai had no intention of listening to him, and looked in the direction of the sound.

The old man coughed a few times and then continued, "Young man, don't be curious in your heart, don't blame me for not reminding you..."

After saying that, the old man turned around and staggered into the house.

Li Bai thought to himself: After finally finding the address given by Liu Bang, how could he return empty-handed? Even if the place where the sound came was a dragon's den, he would still venture tonight.

Thinking of this, Li Bai went back to his room to clean up, and left a ingot of silver on the broken kang, and then he followed the direction of the sound just now.
