Chapter 1360: Blacksmith
Weicheng, a simple wooden house, in a wooden house, the fire beats, dispels the cold of the cold night.
The two people who came from afar may have met in Weicheng by coincidence, and temporarily hid in a wooden house to avoid the cold and rain.
There was only one bed in the room, and there was no doubt that tonight was another sleepless night, at least for Ning Chen.
Gentlemanly demeanor, many times, Ning Chen is still a little bit, especially in the face of a seemingly weak woman.
Perhaps tired, Yun Mansu half leaned on the head of the bed, and fell asleep after a while.
Ning Chen stood in front of the window, looking at the drizzling rain outside, and gradually lost his mind.
When he came to the divine realm, it was not what he wanted, because when he came, it would be difficult to go back.
However, he had to come.
Desireless Heaven seems to be a simple name, but, judging from the jealous attitude of the moon god, this Desireless Heaven is not ordinarily powerful.
To reclaim Xinyu's soul, he must become stronger.
This ancient city is quite magical, and a teacher or blacksmith you meet at random may have been a peerless powerhouse who was famous all over the world in the past.
It is not easy to achieve enlightenment, and the people here may have stayed in the city for a thousand years, maybe longer.
There was indeed something wrong with his word.
If he doesn't give up the demon body, he won't be able to set foot on the royal road in a short time, and the trouble of having both fish and bear paws makes his heart no longer calm.
He knew that this was not a good thing, and if the Dao Heart was not stable, there would be problems with his sword as well.
It's just that knowing and doing it are always two different things.
In meditation, in the ancient city, the long and cold night gradually passed, and in the east, when the day was about to dawn, the light rain also stopped.
It's just that the sky in Weicheng has not yet cleared, and the clouds are thick, as if it will rain again at any time.
The door creaked open, Ning Chen walked out, looked at the still somewhat dim town, thought about it, and prepared to start making a paper umbrella by himself.
In the small town, the materials can be described as poor, there are few people doing business, most of the people are basically self-sufficient, and the strange small town is out of place with the outside world.
Ning Chen searched in front of the door for a long time and found wood and bamboo.
Maybe it's been too long, and the wood has rotted a little, but fortunately, the toughness of the bamboo is still acceptable, and it can barely make an umbrella.
Ning Chen took out a small knife, sat in front of the door, and began to cut the wood.
After a short time, the umbrella bone was probably formed, and Ning Chen fixed the sharpened bamboo, and then got up and looked around for oiled paper, or something that could be replaced.
"What is Childe looking for?"
I don't know when, in front of the door, Yun Man stood quietly and asked.
"Oiled paper, I want to make an umbrella. ”
Ning Chen replied casually.
Yun Mansu looked around and said, "It doesn't seem to be available here, I'll go next door and borrow it." ”
After saying that, Yun Mansu turned around and walked towards the blacksmith shop next door.
After a while, Yun Mansu walked back, holding a piece of oiled paper in his hand, and handed it to the former.
"The girl is smart. ”
Ning Chen took the oil paper and praised with a smile.
Yun Man chuckled lightly, watched quietly from the sidelines, and didn't say anything.
Ning Chen sat in front of the door, carefully tying the oiled paper to the umbrella bone.
For the first time in thousands of years, Ning Chen made an umbrella by himself, and Ning Chen looked at the oil-paper umbrella that was gradually forming in his hand, and a sense of accomplishment arose in his heart.
On the side, Yun Mansu secretly chuckled, obviously disagreeing with the appearance of the oil-paper umbrella made by someone.
"What, isn't it pretty?" Ning Chen felt and asked back.
He thinks it's okay!
"Not bad. Yun Man smiled.
"I think so too. ”
Ning Chen got up, looked at the sky that might rain again at any time, thought about it, handed the oil-paper umbrella to the woman in front of him, and said, "I'll give it to you, I can use it when it rains." ”
"No, no. ”
Yun Mansu hurriedly waved his hand and refused, and said, "I don't like to go out, I can't use this umbrella, so Ning Gongzi, you should use it yourself." ”
Ning Chen glanced at the umbrella in his hand regretfully, and asked again, "Really?"
"Not really. ”
Yun Mansu nodded affirmatively.
"Okay. ”
Ning Chen put away his umbrella and said with a smile, "By the way, Miss Yun, I haven't had time to ask you, what are you doing in Weicheng for?"
"Enlightenment. ”
Yun Mansu replied as a matter of course.
Ning Chen looked at the woman in front of him with some surprise and said, "The girl is also here to enlighten?"
"Why, can't you see it?" Yun Man chuckled.
"Not really. ”
Ning Chen smiled and said, "It's just that the girl has a peaceful heart, not like a person who is confused." ”
"Maybe it's pretended?" Yun Man smiled.
"That girl's ability to act is so astounding. Ning Chen sighed.
"Okay, don't talk about me, what about you, why are you here?" Yun Manshu asked softly.
"The Dao heart is unstable, and I came to find a solution. Ning Chen said bluntly.
"Since you know that your Dao heart is unstable, why don't you calm down and stabilize your Dao heart, why did you come here thousands of miles away?" Yun Mansu asked.
"The girl's words are always so speechless. Ning Chen said helplessly.
"Am I not right?" Yun Man smiled.
"Maybe. ”
Ning Chen said softly, "I've just been in one place for too long, and I haven't been able to find a way for many years, so I've come here to try my luck." ”
"You're the same as the uncle next door, he thought the same way nine hundred years ago. ”
Yun Man pointed to the blacksmith shop not far away and said, "However, he doesn't seem to have figured it out yet. ”
"Huh. ”
Ning Chen chuckled and said, "Miss Yun, has anyone ever said about you, you are really a different person." ”
I met yesterday, and the impression that the woman in front of me gave him was delicate and gentle, and after a few conversations today, I realized that the first impression can sometimes really deceive people.
Yun Man smiled and said, "Naturally, someone said that in my opinion, Gongzi is also a different person. ”
Ning Chen smiled and didn't say anything more, this woman is not simple.
When the two were talking, opposite, the door creaked open, and a middle-aged man walked out, wearing a white scholar's robe and holding a bamboo slip, which could be seen at a glance as a scholar.
Ning Chen's gaze moved and looked at the person who came, and a different color flashed in his eyes.
This should be the teacher that the young man said yesterday.
On the other side, Mr. Teaching saw the two people in front of him and bowed his head.
Ning Chen returned the salute with a kind smile on his face.
"Yesterday?"
Mr. Teach spoke.
"Hmm. ”
Ning Chen nodded.
Mr. Teaching looked at the woman next to him and asked, "Wife?"
"It's not. ”
Ning Chen smiled and said, "By coincidence, now we can be regarded as friends." ”
Mr. Teach bowed his head and said, "I'll go to lecture first, and then talk about it when I come back." ”
"Please. Ning Chen said politely.
Mr. Teach nodded politely and walked away.
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
At this time, in the blacksmith shop next door, the sound of striking iron began to be heard, one after another, monotonous and harsh.
With the sound of the blacksmith's iron, the whole town began to come alive, and the people did their jobs, teaching and teaching, farming and healing, and no one affected anyone.
Ning Chen stood in front of the house, looking at the various states of the small city, and his mood gradually calmed down.
Next door, a woman came out with a beaten farm tool and placed it in front of the house, waiting for the buyer.
In the room, the firelight was beating, and the bare-armed man was holding a hammer and striking the iron in his hand, and he was tired of it.
The woman set up the farm tools, and was about to enter the house, when she saw two people not far away, and a friendly smile appeared on her face, and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, let's come together, I just made some more." ”
Ning Chen and Yun Man glanced at each other, and at this moment, they both felt a little hungry in their stomachs.
The blacksmith shop was very simple, and when the two came in, the man was still working, and the woman set up the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile, "Sit down and eat, I have left food for your eldest brother, and he will not be able to eat it for a while." ”
Ning Chen and Yun Mansu stepped forward and sat down a little embarrassed, looking at the simple meals on the table, hungry in their stomachs.
This magical town always makes people forget that they are warriors.
"Eat, you're welcome. ”
The woman sat down on the side, sandwiched some dishes for each of them, and said with a gentle expression, "There are not so many rules here, so this woman will eat at the same table with you, and you should not dislike it." ”
"Sister, what's the matter, it's us who bother. ”
Yun Mansu said with a bright smile on his face.
"This child is not only beautiful, but also has a sweet mouth. ”
My sister for life, shouted that the woman was smiling, in a good mood, and said.
Ning Chen secretly gave a thumbs up to the woman next to him, he felt that he was already able to pat himself on the back, but he didn't expect that there were more strong players among the strong, and a mountain was higher than a mountain.
What women care about most is always their age, and Miss Yun's sister shouted, anyway, he couldn't call it.
Not far away, the man grinned, looking very simple.
Seeing the man's smile, a strange look flashed on Ning Chen's face.
If he hadn't been told yesterday by the young man in Tsing Yi who had entered the Tao with tea that this blacksmith used to be an executioner who killed people without blinking, he would have believed that this was an honest and simple man.
The meal was very simple, but the taste was not bad, and when Ning Chen and Yun Man were almost full, the man finished what he was doing and ate at the table.
"Brother Li, thank you for your hospitality. Yun Man smiled.
"It should. ”
The man replied honestly and said with a smile, "Listening to your conversation, you should all be enlightened people, what's the matter, isn't the path of cultivation smooth?"
"I'm okay, I'm just curious, come over and have fun, this son next to me is probably quite unpleasant. Yun Man smiled and said with a smile.
"Huh. ”
Ning Chen smiled bitterly, this girl's mouth is really poisonous enough.
"Cultivating the sword?" the man asked, his gaze shifted.
"Hmm. Ning Chen nodded.
"Killing Kendo?" the man asked again.
"Hmm. ”
Ning Chen nodded again.
The man was silent for a long time, and then said, "Preaching by killing will disturb the karma, and the future will be difficult and dangerous, I advise you to cultivate the Tao." ”
"It's too late. ”
Ning Chen sighed lightly, "I still have important things to do, and I don't have time to change other Dao paths." ”
"The sword can be a gentleman's sword or a weapon of killing, I don't want you to give up kendo completely, just make some changes in kendo. The man said seriously.
Ning Chen pondered for a moment, but finally shook his head and said, "It's too late." ”
The man sighed lightly and said, "Since it can't be changed, then let's kill a way, there is no need to worry too much about the right and wrong in the world." ”
