Text Chapter 272 The Past of the Cheng Family

Lu Xiaoguan blinked his mung bean eyes, glanced at Cheng Yixiao in a daze, and said: "What is the danger of your Cheng family, we robbed Zuo Hanfeng and his unlucky senior brother, and it is none of your business." If you feel sorry for this broken house or your eyes are red, just say it, we are not stingy people, old friends naturally have a share, and it will be a part of you. ”

"Divide the fart, you know a fart!"

Honest people also have times when they scold their mothers, Cheng Yixiao is a loyal person that Qin Yuan and Lu Xiaoguan rarely meet in the cultivation world, but at this time, he actually burst into foul language, looking at the gritted teeth, he can't wait to give Qin Yuan and Lu Xiaoguan a mouthful.

"Alas, be cautious, but don't want disaster to fall from the sky, is the craftsmanship passed down by the old Cheng family for more than 700 years to be buried in the hands of our two unscrupulous descendants?" Cheng Jianye's resolute purple-red face was full of sadness and helplessness, not a fake, but a real sadness from it, sad and abnormal.

"Dad, don't be sad, maybe there is still room for maneuver, it's not us who offended the Ten Directions Sect, they may let us go. There was a girl standing next to Cheng Jianye, in her early twenties, in her prime, with a slender figure, a good face, and a heroic spirit rippling between her eyebrows.

She was the only one in the Cheng family who could still calm down, but her tone also revealed a little uneasiness.

Cheng Jianye sighed, squatted on the ground and smoked a dry cigarette, old and desolate, and said: "What room for maneuver can there be, you don't know Zuo Hanfeng's temperament, he is narrow-minded, and he has lost his master's property this time, even if he doesn't put the blame on us, can he continue to unravel the hearth for us? Without the hearth, my Cheng family's craftsmanship will be broken!"

"Mr. Cheng, what kind of hearth, why do you need that Zuo Hanfeng to untie it?" When it comes to the old business, Qin Yuan pays more attention.

Cheng Jianye smiled bitterly: "It's not Zuo Hanfeng, it's the Shifang Sect, our Cheng family used to be a big family, but in my generation, alas, forget it, forget it, don't say it, it's no wonder you, it's obvious that the Shifang Sect is bullying people too much, and it's just self-protection and counterattack, to put it in my heart, the old man really envies the momentum of your young people, and I want to beat that girl early!"

Cheng Jianye has been refining tools all his life, and he is also soaked in scorching iron juice in his bones, which is a hard bone, but the world is so fucked up, sending people under the fence, being pinched by people hurts his feet, and no matter how hard the bones are, they have to be kneaded and soft.

"Mr. Cheng, I still have some understanding of the pulse of the dragon, you might as well speak up and listen, I may be able to help a little. Qin Yuan squatted in front of him, and he also lit a cigarette, the exclusive Dahong General brand, which was not much better than the home-grown dry tobacco leaves that Cheng Jianye smoked, and it really had a little bit of a similar temper.

Cheng Jianye took two mouthfuls, glanced up at Qin Yuan, sighed weakly, and said: "Why doesn't the old man know that your little brother Qin has great skills, and his methods are pure, and Xiao Xiaozi has also mentioned to me several times that you can try it, but the old man knows that I am afraid that it is really not possible to help here." Alas, the group of unconscionable dogs of the Ten Directions Sect, they are holding back!"

Cheng Jianye mentioned the past, full of grief and indignation, Annoyed a cigarette pouch pole smashed on the ground, the cigarette pouch pole made of fine iron was bent, and a basin-sized hole collapsed on the ground, which shows how angry the old man was.

Qin Yuanjian couldn't ask anything from Cheng Jianye, so he had no choice but to go to Cheng Yixiao, but Cheng Yixiao didn't want to mention it more, just said that Qin Yuan had already offended the Shifang Sect, don't poke the hornet's nest again, don't mention this matter again.

In the end, it was Cheng Yixiao's sister Cheng Shanshan and Qin Yuan who explained the reason.

"This group of dog day things is really ruthless!" Qin Yuan shook his fists and scolded angrily after hearing this, and Lu Xiaoguan was also angry, greeting the eighteenth generation of women from the ancestors of the Shifang Sect up and down.

Twenty years ago, the Cheng family was still a big family, and it had a great reputation in the Huangcheng cultivation world, not as good as the current Ye family, which had a tripartite cave sky, but it was not far behind.

And the refining shop under the Ten Directions Sect is also a must, and it is well-known inside and outside East China Province, but compared to the Cheng family, it is almost hot, and many cultivators buy magic weapons or blades, but they can't buy them in the Cheng family's shop, so they turn to the next best thing and rush to the shop of the Ten Directions Sect.

The Cheng family's rice bowl is very high-end, but not big, the ancestral rules are passed on to men and not women, and there are only three or five of the family that can be put on the furnace together, and it is a forging boutique, and there are very few shipments, there are seven and eight pieces in more than a month, and it is difficult to even bake one piece when it is less, and the Shifang Sect is a big business, thirty or forty people assembly line-like operations, the finished products of forging far exceed ten times that of the Cheng family, and the price is not low, and the Lingbi Lingjing earned is also beyond the reach of the Cheng family.

It stands to reason that the two roads are different, the well water should not be the river water, a clear porridge and pickles, a big fish and meat, two different ways, but people's greed is boundless, and Shifangzong suddenly hit the idea of the Cheng family one day.

They first sent people to lobby, and invited Cheng Jianye's father Cheng Xun to join the Shifang Sect and teach the Cheng family's unique refining method, of course the Cheng family did not agree, and their own daughters did not teach it, how could they break the jobs of future generations for the sake of temporary interests, and politely refused.

But who knew that the Shifang Sect did not give up, and secretly bought a splash named Ma San at that time, bought the magic weapon in the Cheng family's shop, and then secretly ended his life, and destroyed the magic weapon, causing the illusion that Ma San died because of the poor workmanship of the Cheng family's magic weapon.

Ma San's wife Liu Guixiang carried Ma San's body to the door of Cheng's shop and scolded, Cheng Jiazi did not admit that there was a problem with the magic weapon forged by his family, but seeing that Liu Guixiang was pitiful, he lost a sum of money to her for the rest of her life.

Who would have thought that Liu Guixiang took the Cheng family's money, not only was she not grateful, but she threatened everywhere that the Cheng family was weak-hearted, and she intensified her efforts to ask the Cheng family to compensate for her husband's life.

Not long after that, several more people came to make trouble, without exception, all of them were defective with the Cheng family's magic weapons, in today's words, cutting corners and shoddy manufacturing. There may be nothing wrong with ordinary items, but magic weapons are often the second life of a cultivator, and once something goes wrong, the consequences are extremely serious.

In just a few days, the Cheng family's golden signboard was splashed with a basin of dog blood.

After nearly a year, this kind of thing happened one after another, completely smashing the Cheng family's signboard. It was also at this time that the people of the Shifang Sect came to the door and asked Cheng Xun's family to go up the mountain again, the Cheng family had already guessed that it was the Shifang Sect that did it, and under such a ruthless method, where would the Cheng family rely on it and drive the people from the Shifang Sect out of the gate.

But on the night of the third day, the north wind howled, and the Cheng family's house caught fire, the flames soared into the sky, they were cultivators, and it was not difficult to save a fire, but the fire was not an extraordinary fire, and it could not be extinguished at all, until all the items were burned out, and only the ruins and broken walls remained, which would stop.

After the Cheng family entered the ruins, they found that all the treasures and artifacts were gone, and a cave with rare metal equipment was gone, but there were a lot of orders there, and the deposits had been accepted, including many precious materials deliberately left by the Shifang Sect.

At that time, the Cheng family thought that they still had craftsmanship in hand, which could not be taken away no matter what, as long as the ancestral hearth was still there, there would be a day to pay off the arrears, and it was not impossible to make a comeback.

However, they still underestimated the ruthlessness of the Ten Directions Sect, and they moved in the Cheng family's ancestral hearth, and there was no fire in the hearth, only billowing fishy red smoke was born, as if it had been scrapped.

This vicious strategy is one after another, and under the chain, the Cheng family has completely collapsed, and there is no possibility of turning over.

It was also at this time that the disciples of the Ten Directions Sect appeared again, and the evil wolf was dressed in sheep's clothing, with false kindness, telling them that as long as the Cheng family joined the Ten Directions Sect, they could pay off the debts for them and restore the ancestral earth furnace.

But they still underestimated the hard bones of the Cheng family, even so, the family is surrounded by walls, debts are high, and it has reached a desperate situation, the Cheng family still does not compromise, and vows not to hand over the Cheng family's craftsmanship to the enemy.

Seeing that the Cheng family was so resolute, Shifangzong was also helpless, he was not afraid of death, and there was no way, it was not good to continue to persecute, and finally after more than a year of entanglement, the two sides reached an agreement that the Cheng family could build utensils in the future, but it must be handed over to Shifangzong to buy and sell, and the Cheng family did not want this craft to be completely cut off, so they could only temporarily compromise and think of other ways in the future.

But the Cheng family worked hard, but they didn't find a person who could restore the hearth, even if someone had this ability, they were not afraid of the power of the Ten Directions Sect, and they didn't dare to agree, just like that, for more than 20 years, the Ten Directions Sect has grown stronger and stronger, and has made great achievements in refining, far from what it used to be, and the Cheng family has plummeted and become a dispensable refining master family.

"Alas, before my father died, he was looking forward to one day restoring the hearth and reproducing the prosperity of the Cheng family, my old man is incompetent, and I am ashamed of my father and ancestors!"

Cheng Jianye squatted on the ground and slammed the ground with his fists, sad and desolate.

Qin Yuan was also gloomy, under the splendid scenery of this cultivation world, how many dry bones and how much blood were buried? The Cheng family was not the only one, nor was it the first, let alone the last.

He still had a doubt, so he asked: "Then why don't you move out of this place, find another hearth, leave the territory of East China Province, with your Cheng family's refining skills, it shouldn't be difficult to ask for freedom and tranquility, right?"

"You don't know this, our Cheng family's refining method is special, and it can only be maximized under the ancestral earthhend, and if you change it elsewhere, it will be greatly discounted, and there will be no one out of ten!" Cheng Jianye said helplessly, how could he not have thought about this, how many places could be found, and none of them were similar to the ancestral earthhearth.

Cheng Yixiao also sighed and said: "You should know now why I was so obsessed with learning geography and dragons, right? I can't ask others but myself, but I don't have that bone, elm pimple, I can't do anything except refining tools and striking iron, Uncle Geng's dragon notes are in my hands and are considered pearls and secret investments." ”

Qin Yuan patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, and said, "You have done your best, take me to have a look, maybe I can help a little." ”
