In the past, Xiangyuan County was not big, but the five streets and six alleys were well arranged. The streets of the city were neat and paved, ranging from general merchandise in Beijing to spikes and leak pots, and all walks of life. Every day people come and go, bustling, business is booming, and the market is prosperous.

In the center of Yamen Street in the county seat, a new shaving shop was opened from the west to the east. The shop was not large and only occupied two rooms. There was a shaving master in the shop with two apprentices. Under the eaves outside the door was a rectangular sign made of white cloth, with three lines of characters written vertically in ink. The middle line of characters was larger, and it read: "Shaving Shop", and the smaller ones on both sides were: "Shaving your head with flying knives" and "Stunt first." Because the sign was surprising, it attracted a lot of customers. Some people just don't shave their heads. Out of curiosity, they also wanted to go into the shop to see what it was called. So the small shop was always full of people all year round, and cheers came from the shop from time to time. The surname of this shaver is Li, and people call him "Li Feidao."

Not far from the city, there is a martial arts master in Beihe Village who specializes in shooting arrows with one hand. Many people around him have seen his wonderful performances. He lit a candle on the ground, rode on horseback, and beat the horse like a fly. A hundred paces away, he took a bow and an arrow, and shot an arrow, only to see the fire extinguished, and the candle still stood upright. People call this superb Pegasus shooting skill "arrow shooting light flower." The surname of the archery master is Zhang, because of his good archery skills, people call him "Zhang Hao arrow."

One day, Zhang Haojian came to the city to play, and heard people on the street talking about it: "The flying knife shaves the head, and the skill is excellent." Zhang Haojian went to see what happened. He walked into the shaving shop, and Li Feidao received him kindly. Zhang Haojian said, "I want to shave my head with the flying knife." Li Feidao said, "Please." As soon as he sat down on the chair specially set up for shaving the flying knife head, two shaving apprentices came forward and tied him to the chair with straps. Li Feidao took three razors and shaved his head.

Three knives, only one in his hand, two flying in the air. Catch a knife and only shave it, then throw it in the air, and change to another one. The shaver calmly used three razors in turn, like an acrobat, flying in the air, falling on the lowest knife, looking like it was about to fall on his head, but was caught by Li Feidao to cut his hair. This is really a stunt. Zhang Haojian sat down in the chair and looked at it from the mirror opposite him, shrinking his neck in fright, and he couldn't even breathe. Seriously, if he hadn't been tied to the chair and couldn't walk away, he would have gotten up and run away.

In an instant, Li Feidao shaved his head. When the apprentice untied the strap for him and invited him to have tea, he regained his senses and said, "I'm so scared! I'm in a cold sweat." Li Feidao smiled and said to him, "This is called being a master of courage." After reminding Zhang Haojian, he deliberately did not pay for the shaving, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't bring the money. I'll leave you my address and name, and you will come to my house to pick it up tomorrow. You must treat me well!" After saying that, he went out.

Li Feidao was full of energy, and arrived at Zhang Haojian's house early the next morning. Zhang Haojian was well prepared, and when he saw Li Feidao enter the door, he tied him firmly to the chair with straps without saying a word. Li Feidao asked, "What is this for?" "Didn't you come to ask for the money for shaving your head? Wait, I'll pay you in full." After Zhang Haojian said that, he tied the three money-making pieces one by one with a string, took the bow and arrow, walked a hundred paces away, hung it on the arrow, and shot Li Feidao face to face at a time. The first time, the arrow brushed over the right ear and hung the money on the root of the right ear; the second time, the arrow brushed over the left ear and hung the money on the root of the left ear; the third time, the arrow flew over the top of the head and placed the money firmly on the top of the head, so frightened that Li Feidao closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at it, and his heart was pounding. After shooting, Zhang Haojian loosened Li Feidao's tie, patted his shoulder and said, "Master, count the money, it's not short." Li Feidao touched his sallow face and said, "It's so dangerous! If I knew this was the way to get money, I would rather not come." Zhang Haojian laughed and said, "This is also a master of art and courage!"

The two masters laughed heartily and sat down to drink and talk together, forming a life-and-death friendship.
