Alcohol and tobacco were good companions and so were men and women. Therefore, knife and arrow were naturally good companions too. Ning Que joyfully smiled at the heavy Talisman Arrow he was holding, and Sixth Brother walked out of the iron-forging house with a long bag in his hand. When opening the bag, he found three podaos in it.
These three knives were the ones that Ning Que sent to the Back Mountain the previous days. After re-hammered and forged by Sixth Brother, the knives were longer and slenderer than their former shapes, with the black long hilt even more firm. The dim blade reflected the morning light, occisionally revealing some simple and clear lines of talisman, which looked delicate yet enormously murdurous.
