The Blade-Wielding Legend

    "We've arrived, this is the craftsman's shop."


    At the entrance of the old street near the Temple of the Goddess, Wang Daoxuan pointed ahead and said, "All the famous craftsmen in Xianyang are here. Even if they have workshops at home, they would certainly have a shop here."
