Chapter 156: Forging Sword City
The wide-backed giant dolphin swam rapidly, and the random island in front of it became clearer and clearer.
After looking at it for a long time, Yue Fengyang couldn't see where to land, because the island seemed to be surrounded by cliffs on all sides.
But after the distance narrowed again, Yue Fengyang found that there was a big hole at the junction of the cliff and the sea that he was directly opposite him, and the wide-backed giant dolphin was swimming there.
"Alright, let's get into the cabin, we'll have an underwater trip in a moment. Hirayama said in a whisper.
With surprise, Yue Fengyang was pulled into the cabin by Pingshan Huoyu. The hatch was very heavy, and after everyone entered, someone inserted all the dozen deadbolts on the hatch, and what secret technique was used, and the hatch became a bulkhead again.
Looking at Yue Fengyang, who was puzzled, Pingshan Huoyu said: "I have converted a space, so that the sea water can't enter." ”
"Well... It's amazing!" Yue Fengyang nodded incredulously.
Judging by the sound, it should have been underwater by now, and the cabin was surprisingly quiet, and the outside world was blocked by the seawater.
Although he knew that it was safe, Yue Fengyang was still a little nervous, what if, what if there was a water leak?
Hirayama Huoyu seemed to see his thoughts: "We can all swim." ”
Paused: "Oh... You won't, won't, will you?"
Yue Fengyang spread his hands.
Pingshan Huoyu patted Yue Fengyang's shoulder: "Don't worry! Even if something really goes wrong, I will save you ashore!"
Yue Fengyang: "How to save it, the water is so deep, I may suffocate to death before I reach the sea." ”
Pingshan Huoyu: "I can give you a dose of breath from mouth to mouth..."
Yue Fengyang looked disgusted: "Then I'm still dead!"
This underwater journey takes about half an hour, and the speed of the wide-backed giant dolphin is not slow, so it can be imagined that this distance is not short.
When Yue Fengyang came to the deck again, the scene in front of him was already another world.
This is a large lake on the island, and there are many boats docked on the shore, all of which are the same as the appearance of the boat Yue Fengyang is riding, but there are no wide-backed giant dolphins under the boat, and in the center of the lake in the distance, you can see many wide-backed giant dolphins playing.
With a few clicks and a whistle, the wide-backed giant dolphin under Yue Fengyang's boat also swam away like an arrow, heading towards its companion in the center of the lake.
After the boat stopped, Yue Fengyang followed everyone off the boat, and the feeling of stepping on the ground made him feel a lot more steady. Looking around at the surrounding scene, this is simply a paradise, judging from the area of this big lake, the area of the island is very huge, and he feels that tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people should not have a problem surviving here.
There were many residents on the shore, each doing their own work, and they were not very surprised when they saw the living people.
"We'll have to take a carriage ride from here, and we'll probably have to walk for about two days to reach Forge Knife City, which is our home base. However, the scenery is very good along the way, and there are many town shops, so you have the right to travel. Hirayama said happily.
Yue Fengyang nodded, he was full of curiosity about this place now, and he couldn't wait to take a closer look. In order to thank the crew members who took them over, Yue Fengyang took out a few bottles of Wuzhi Baicao Paste and sent them out. This thing is not difficult to refine, and the cost is low, but the effect is wonderful, so it is used as a gift, and Yue Fengyang is not distressed.
But this is like a treasure for those people, the people here are all knife forgers, but there are no pills, so the pills are extremely rare here, and they are all purchased from them.
Holding a few medicine bottles, the eyes of the leader of the crew were full of respect: "This young master, there is nothing else, if you can get me in the future, just open your mouth!"
Yue Fengyang's hand attracted praise from the surrounding residents, and Pingshan Huoyu blossomed.
"This is my classmate, and I'm also a knife forger, hahahaha!" Pingshan Huoyu pulled Yue Fengyang onto a carriage.
"Brother, you really give face!"
Yue Fengyang smiled as he spoke, he must make a name for his brother!
The carriage was very spacious, and Yue Fengyang was lying on the carriage on all fours, comfortable up and down. It is said that it is a carriage, but it is not a horse-drawn one, but a kind of spirit animal on this island, which is drawn by a large cloth pig on the island, but it is very unpleasant to call it a pig cart, so the name of the carriage is still used.
The island is not as fat as the domestic pigs on the mainland, only knows how to eat and sleep, but is like a horse, the body is strong, but the mouth and face are a little pig-like, in the island is the daily use of animal power.
The scenery on this road is really good, there are many town shops along the road, and there are many people working in the fields on both sides of the road. The personnel composition here is single, the culture and customs are also unified, everyone is more or less related to the blood, know the roots, so the society is stable, and the residents are happy.
With his hands behind his head, the sun shone through the dense layers of leaves of the tree, shining the round shadow of the sun on Yue Fengyang's body. It was already the season of late summer and early autumn, and the wind was blowing the aroma of rice and the smell of artemisia grass. Late summer and early autumn in the Guanling Continent are beautiful seasons, and this is the best day of the year. And here is no exception, the weather is not cold, it is not hot, the ground is still a little blue, and people are not too busy.
Halfway through the village for a break, Pingshan Huoyu ran to buy wine and meat, and the two of them pushed the cup in the car to change the lamp, which was really pleasant, and they slept after drinking until the next day.
When Yue Fengyang woke up in the morning, Pingshan Huoyu was still snoring, don't look at this guy who looks a little feminine, but the snoring sound is a real man! The carriage has been moving smoothly, and it has not stopped all night. Pingshan Huoyu said before that this kind of spirit beast remembers the way, and it doesn't need someone to drive the car, it will go to the destination by itself.
Stretching his waist, Yue Fengyang's movement woke up Pingshan Huoyu, he sat up sleepily, looked down at the blanket covering his body, and couldn't help but smile.
Looking at Pingshan Huoyu and laughing, Yue Fengyang realized that he also had a blanket on his body, where did this come from? Yesterday, the two of them were drunk, but they didn't care about the upper bunk and fell asleep.
Pingshan Huoyu saw Yue Fengyang's doubts, and said with a smile: "This was built for us by passers-by or people passing by the village on the road." ”
Looking at Pingshan Huoyu's expression, it shouldn't be the first time he has encountered such a thing, which shows that the folk customs here are extremely simple. I don't know who covered this blanket, let alone return it, and the owner didn't think about you returning it at all, just giving it to you, all to keep you from catching a cold.
"How can you thank you?" Yue Fengyang frowned.
"Don't worry, when you go back, ask the villages and towns along the way, you will know, and thank you when the time comes. Hirayama said in a whisper.
"The people here are clean in their hearts!" Yue Fengyang thought if he could live here in the future, taking Belle and Wind Chimes with him.
"Is it absolutely forbidden for outsiders to come here?"
"Theoretically, yes, but it also depends on what kind of outsider it is, I know what you're thinking, if it's Belle and Wind Chimes, I think it should be okay. After all, there are drawbacks to intermarriage and reproduction among people on the island, and we also have a few knife smiths here whose spouses are from the outside, but they are not allowed to go out again. These people are also not allowed to come into contact with any of the secret techniques and secret techniques of the swordsmith. ”
"If one day the Swordsmith rises again, will you still be here and isolated?"
"I don't know, that's the consideration of the elders, I personally don't care, I've already walked out of here. Hirayama said indifferently.
"However, we are no longer the martial arts we used to be
Since that catastrophe, we have realized our disadvantages, so the current knife smiths are basically practicing swordsmanship. ”
Yue Fengyang nodded: "Originally, I thought that the sword forging master could not cultivate the sword technique for some reason, but now it seems that there should be no need to cultivate the sword technique when it was prosperous." ”
Hirayama Huoyu: "That's right, in the beginning, there was an existence like a sword forger, only we controlled the fate of others, and there would be people there who would dare to provoke us? I didn't expect that..."
"Iron still needs its own hardness, but I didn't expect this to be the reason why the knife smith almost perished. Yue Fengyang said.
"So we now put the cultivation of sword skills in the first place, followed by the art of forging swords, and there have been many masters over the years. Hirayama said proudly.
A pleasant journey is always short, Yue Fengyang and Pingshan Huoyu came to the gate of a city at dusk that day.
The city of forging knives, the city of forging knife masters, the three strong and powerful characters, like knives and axes, are deeply engraved on the stone plaques on the city gates. There is a pride in the words, the pride of the knife forger, but it also reveals sadness, that unbearable catastrophe.
Yue Fengyang looked at those three words, and felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, don't look at the island now like a fairyland on earth, but those surviving knife forging masters who fled from the clutches of death in a panic back then, when they first arrived here, they were not well prepared, and they didn't know how many tribulations they had experienced!
"Let's go inside. Hirayama said in a whisper.
There were no guards outside the city gates, and people came and went as they pleased. Hirayama Huoyu said that the city gate would not be closed at night, and the security on the island was excellent, so there was no need. The island also has defensive forces, all of which are placed on the cliffs near the sea, mainly to prevent foreign invasions.
As soon as he walked into the city gate cave, Yue Fengyang could vaguely hear all kinds of noise in the city, and it seemed that the night here was not lonely.
Walking on the streets of the Forging Knife City, there are people who buy and sell, and those who carry baskets and burdens, which are very lively. Basically, there are all kinds of goods from the outside world, and there are some more things that are not available from the outside world.
Yue Fengyang looked curiously at the eating, drinking, and playthings he had never seen before, while Pingshan Huoyu patiently explained to him on the side.
"It's a fish fire, it's delicious!" said Hirayama, pointing to a stall outside the store.
"I've only heard of donkey meat being roasted. Yue Fengyang sniffed his nose, it was really fragrant.
"There are no donkeys on the island, but there are a lot of fish, and the method is borrowed from donkey meat fire, so it is called fish fire. "Hirayama Huogenu said tongue twisters.
"Don't say it, buy me a taste!" Yue Fengyang interrupted Pingshan Huo's words.
"I've prepared a big meal for you at home in the evening, and now that you've eaten this, can you still have dinner?"
Yue Fengyang: "Yes, this is not big, it will be gone in a few bites!"
Pingshan Huoyu showed a sly smile: "Boss, bring him a fish fire!"
"Okay!" the boss brought out a tray filled with fish and meat in a basin-sized fire.
"Damn, why is it so big?" Yue Fengyang was stunned.
Pointing to the stall, Pingshan Huoyu said: "That's just a sample, our people here are simple and simple, and the business is real." ”
Yue Fengyang: "Oh... Can you not do it?"
Just kidding, who can eat so big, what about the big dinner at night?
Hirayama whispered: "No, you see the boss's warm and bright smile, are you embarrassed?"
In this way, Pingshan Huoyu led the way in front, and Yue Fengyang followed behind with a basin-sized fish fire in his hand, and the people here were too real, he complained in his heart.
