Chapter 11: The Vicious Dog Annex
Yang Jiangyi said: "Is there another two?"
Hua Bushi said: "Second, it is the way of business, and the most important thing is the word 'integrity'." I could have robbed them once without paying, but the next time they got them, they would certainly do their best to hide them from me from discovering them, lest they be plundered again, and it would be much more difficult for me to get them. But if I spend money to buy it, as long as they get good goods, they will take the initiative to bring them to me, and it will be much easier for me to get them. ”
While speaking, the two of them had already walked three streets and came to a small stone house that looked quite dilapidated, and Hua Bushi stopped.
Yang Jiangyi looked up and saw a signboard hanging on the stone roof, "Ou Ji Knife Maker Shop".
When you enter the hut, you will see a huge furnace, flames flying, and the heat is blowing in your face!
A shirtless middle-aged man stood in front of the stove, holding a * iron tong in his hand, and was looking intently at the furnace.
Hua Bushi walked to the wall without saying a word, and stood there quietly, staring at the middle-aged man, with an expression on his face that seemed to be fascinated.
Yang Jiangyi walked to Hua Bushi's side and also remained silent. She is not a talkative person, but she is secretly thinking in her heart that this eldest young master doesn't know what the hell is going on?
But with a wave of the big man's arm, the iron tongs had been inserted into the furnace, and I could only hear a "whirring" sound, and a fire dragon rose up from the furnace!
The flame spewed out on the anvil, and the naked man reached out with his right hand, and a huge hammer appeared in his hand.
"Hey!" sparks flew with a loud shout, and the hammer had smashed into the forged thing!
Only then did Yang Jiangyi see clearly that it was just a foot-long iron bar, and the whole body had been burned red.
"Hey, hey, hey!" The big man shouted violently, and the hammer kept hitting the iron bar, the color of the iron bar became darker and darker, but Yang Jiangyi's eyes began to glow!
As the iron bar gradually took shape in the sound of tapping, Yang Jiangyi's eyes became brighter and brighter!
Roughly speaking, apart from a slight agility, the middle-aged man's movements are not much different from those of an ordinary blacksmith when striking iron. But under careful observation, Yang Jiangyi found that his movements and demeanor were extremely round, whether it was the wave of his arms or the contraction and pulling of the muscles on his body, there was not the slightest stagnation, that is to say, in the entire swinging process, every point of his liliang was concentrated on the top of the hammer.
Make it simple!
There are no superfluous movements. The swing of the arms, the kneading of the fingers, the trembling of the body, and even the rhythm of breathing, every link is designed to make the hammer strike more precise and powerful.
Yang Jiangyi was sure that if a swordsman could achieve this realm when swinging his sword, then his sword would definitely be terrifying!
Could it be that this big man who is striking iron is also a master of martial arts?
For half an hour, Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi stared intently at the naked man. The iron bars were fed into the furnace again and again, taken out again and again, struck, and cooled in water.
Finally, the big man stopped, and the iron bar had also been transformed into a finished product - a pig-killing knife about nine inches long! The black back of the knife was smooth and thick, and the curved blade flashed with a blue cold light, what a sharp weapon!
Dahan carefully placed the pig-killing knife on the knife holder, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, his expression as if the artist had just completed a peerless masterpiece.
Hua Bushi sighed lightly and said, "Every time I watch Ou Shi strike iron, it's like drinking a jar of thirty-year-old daughter red, it's really fascinating!"
The middle-aged man glanced at Hua Bushi, but said angrily: "Can Young Master Hua be sure that you are fascinated by watching me strike iron, not because of this little girl?"
Hua Bushi's face turned red and said, "Ou Shi is too funny!"
He turned his head to Yang Jiangyi and said, "This Ou Shi is the descendant of a generation of grandmaster Ou Yezi, and his casting and refining skills are superb, which can be called the best in the world!"
Yang Jiangyi bowed and said, "The little woman Yang Jiangyi has seen Master Ou!"
The respect she expressed was not because the middle-aged man was a descendant of a famous family, but because she had seen the process of the big man striking iron, and anyone who could use the hammer to such a realm deserved respect.
The big man waved his hand, pulled over a bench, sat down with a big face, and then said to Hua Bushi: "Young Master Hua came to my blacksmith shop, what is the matter?"
Hua Bushi said: "Xiao Ke came, he had something to ask Ou Shi for help." This Yang girl has a green steel sword, which was accidentally broken the day before yesterday, Xiao Ke wants to ask Ou Shi to repair it, I don't know if it's convenient?"
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said, "Show me!"
Yang Jiangyi never thought that Hua Bushi brought her here to cultivate the sword for her, so he hesitated slightly, but still took the sword off his waist and presented it to Ou Shi with both hands.
Taking the long sword, the middle-aged man's palm shook, and the sword was unsheathed.
"Very good, very good, pity, pity!" said the middle-aged man.
Yang Jiangyi was a little stunned, and said, "Ask the master, what is a good pity?"
The middle-aged man said: "This sword is made of refined iron and carbon steel, calcined by eighty-one furnaces, and then condensed with ice crystals, so the texture is extremely hard, it can cut gold and cut iron, even if it has a thousand external forces, it is difficult to destroy, it is really a good sword!"
Hua Bushi said: "Then what is the explanation of this pity?"
Dahan said: "It's a pity that the person who forged the sword didn't understand the truth of 'rigidity and easy to break', and was too superstitious about the hardness of the material, so he forged this sword body so small. You must know that everything in this world has its own way of mutual rebirth and restraint, and how can the most rigid things be an exception? If I expected it right, this sword will be destroyed under the shock of the feminine power, and with the power of the other, the body of the other will be shocked, and the sword itself will be extremely hard, so what can I do?"
Yang Jiangyi respectfully landed on the ground and said: "The master's eyes are like torches, and his words are mysterious, and the little woman admires it very much!"
Dahan said: "Little girl doesn't have to admire, I'm just an old blacksmith, I haven't practiced martial arts, and I'm not a monk or Taoist, where do I know what mysteries, I just casually said some experience of making utensils!"
Hua Bushi said: "Then this sword can be cultivated well?"
The middle-aged man's face changed, his eyes widened, and he said, "Have you ever seen me not be able to cultivate a weapon?!"
Hua Bushi knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Ou Shi's casting and refining technique is unparalleled in the world, and he can cultivate haode." ”
The big man didn't pay attention to Hua Bushi, stood up and took the long sword to the side of the anvil, and said, "Let's go, and in three days, come and get the sword again!"
The two of them said goodbye and walked out, and when they walked to the door, they heard the voice of the middle-aged man behind them: "Plus the cost of this sword repair, you owe me a total of three hundred and fifty-five taels of silver, Master Hua must not forget!"
Hua Bushi turned around and said, "Master Ou rest assured, Xiao Ke will not forget." ”
Walking out of the blacksmith shop and seeing Hua Bushi's leisurely appearance of "many debts are not worried", Yang Jiangyi was stunned in his heart, and secretly made up his mind: I must not lend money to this young master in this life!
Back on the street, Yang Jiangyi said, "This is the interesting place you said you were going to bring me here?"
Hua Bushi said: "No, the place I said is somewhere else." Helping the girl repair the sword is just a slight apology below, Xiao Ke has been busy with trivial matters and has not been able to entertain the girl in the past two days, please forgive Miss Yang for your slowness!"
Yang Jiangyi said: "Hmph, what you said is good, I don't know how many words are true?"
Hua Bushi said: "Xiao Ke will never dare to deceive Miss Yang, I think the girl has a deep misunderstanding of me, but he will be able to understand Hua Bushi's personality one day." ”
Yang Jiangyi said: "I have learned a lot about your personality now, needless to say, there is no place to take me!"
Hua Bushi said: "Xiao Ke obeys." ”
The two continued to walk, this time Hua Bushi did not walk along the street, but burrowed into the roadside alleys, passing through the winding alleys, and even passing through several houses. When Yang Jiangyi first came to Wuyang City, he didn't know the path, so he followed Hua Bushi around and around, and he was already lost in a short time.
"Where the hell are you going, why do you keep going around these alleys?" she couldn't help but ask Hua Bushi.
"Don't worry, we'll be there soon. Hua Bushi said: "Daddy ordered me not to go out of the house, and I also ran out secretly, so after a few turns between these alleys, even the people who were following were also thrown off by us." ”
Yang Jiangyi nodded again and again, and said, "It should be like this, that sneaky person will do this sneaky thing." ”
Hua Bushi didn't care about Yang Jiangyi's ridicule, pointed to a mansion not far in front of him, and said, "Look, there it is." ”
This humble grey house sits in the deepest part of the alley, with low walls and closed doors. Above the gate of the courtyard hangs a small plaque with a few words written in wild cursiveness: "Vicious Dog Courtyard".
Hua Bushi walked to the front of the courtyard gate, pointed to the plaque and said to Yang Jiangyi: "These four words are written by my own hand, how about it, do you feel that the pen is a dragon and snake, and the momentum is very good?"
Yang Jiangyi pointed and praised: "This plaque is really good, if it is written so that people can understand, then it will be even better!"
At this time, only a "squeak" was heard, and the door of the courtyard was opened from the inside.
"Master Childe!"
But it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who jumped out of the door, with a round apple face that was white and red, very cute.
"Master Childe, you haven't been here for a long time, but you miss the dead!" The little girl hugged Hua Bushi's arm, and she looked extremely intimate like a bird.
Hua Bushi smiled and said: "I went out on a long trip, so I haven't been able to come in the past few days, but I also think about you all the time, especially Ling'er, I want to come to your light skills and enter the country again!"
"Of course!" the little girl said proudly, "Yesterday on the plum blossom pile, Senior Brother Zhu couldn't catch me!"
