Chapter 7: The First Descent
Chu Muyu, who was completely sleepy, stood under a tree at the back of the house, with a cliff in front of him. He looked at the sun that had just poked out half of his head, and a red glow gradually lit up in the east, getting redder and redder, and the whole sun appeared in front of his eyes, so bright red, not dazzling at all.
He walked in the direction of the Lingwu Palace, the scenery along the way made him reluctant to go fast, and he thought in his heart: "If the master can let me go down the mountain, I will first find a craftsman to smelt the Ujin, and by the way, you can also inquire about my life experience." Thinking about it, he had already walked outside the gate of the Lingwu Palace. He went up the stairs, and outside the door of the main hall, he heard the conversation inside.
"Ling Hao, this time you have to pay attention to safety. Recently, the disciples under the mountain came to report that the demons of the Demon Soul Sect were about to move on our Yunding Peak, and there might be some conspiracy, so we should be careful everywhere. ”
"Yes, master. Ling Hao replied.
Mu Yu heard the conversation between the master and the senior brother outside the door, and was overjoyed, Senior Brother Ling Hao was going down the mountain, what a good opportunity. Mu Yu hurriedly ran in, and the master and Ling Hao looked at Mu Yu who ran in from outside the hall with a panicked expression.
"What to run, no rules. The master scolded harshly.
"Senior Brother Mu Yu, has something happened? in such a hurry!"
Mu Yu looked at the senior brother standing next to him, and after bowing to the master, he said, "Master, let me go down the mountain with my senior brother!"
"Nonsense, Ling Hao has a mission to go down the mountain this time, to go to various towns to collect rare stones and come back, so as to create a batch of sharp weapons to prevent the invasion of the Demon Sect. Recently, there have been many demon sect demons near Yunding Peak, and your Uncle Wen Qiao went to check the situation, but he hasn't come back yet. ”
"Master, I haven't been down the mountain for sixteen years, and I want to go out and see the world. With Senior Brother Ling Hao here, don't worry about me, I will definitely be able to take care of myself, just let me follow Senior Brother down the mountain to have a look!" Chu Muyu's pleading eyes looked particularly lovable.
"No, if something happens at the bottom of the mountain, you don't have the ability to protect yourself, no...... No way. Zhao Mingfei waved his hand and said.
"Master, in fact, Senior Brother Mu Yu has broken through the first layer of the Yunding Exercises, I believe that he can protect himself, not to mention that I still have him with me. Ling Hao also helped Chu Muyu persuade the master.
"What...... he has already broken through the first layer? He only started practicing the exercises two days ago, and he has already ...... so quickly."
Ling Hao glanced at Chu Muyu and motioned for him to show it to his master. I saw Mu Yu's eyes closed and opened, looking at his master with faint yellow eyes.
The master looked at Mu Yu's eyes, and was extremely happy in his heart, he was happy for this little apprentice, but he was also a little uneasy in his heart.
"Mu Yu, tell me how you broke through the first layer of the realm in such a short period of time."
Chu Muyu recounted the events of the day, and Zhao Mingfei listened carefully.
"Hmm...... On that day, Senior Brother Xuanqing said that the relics could help you practice, and I didn't expect it to have such an effect. Mu Yu, this can be regarded as your creation...... Well, since you want to go, I'll let you go down the mountain with my brother to practice. But you must remember that you can't be reckless when you encounter trouble outside, don't get into trouble everywhere, and obey your brother's arrangement in everything. ”
"Thank you, master, the apprentice must be obedient, and everything will obey the senior brother after going down the mountain. Mu Yu jumped up happily.
"Alright, go down, go down the mountain when you go back and get ready. The master turned his back and said.
Walking out of the Lingwu Palace, they each went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.
Chu Muyu packed a few simple clothes and made a small package. I told my brother that I would meet at the unloading platform at the time, but it was not yet the appointed time. He took out the brocade box in his arms, looked at the white relic as mutton fat inside, and said: "I don't know who left it to me, but I can feel that you have a great connection with my life experience, and I hope you can help me find the answer I want in the future."
About half an hour, Chu Muyu came to the armor unloading platform. Looking around, he didn't find the figure of the senior brother, he was bored, put down his baggage, picked up the wooden stick on the weapon rack and began to practice the weapon control technique. He was sweating profusely and sat on the ground panting. A figure slowly descended from the steps of the stairs.
"Senior Brother Ling Hao, why are you so slow, I've been here for a long time. Let's go, it's time for us to go down. After speaking, Chu Muyu picked up the burden on the ground, and by the way, he also brought the wooden stick just now.
"Why do you still have a stick?" Ling Hao asked as he walked.
"This is the first time I've come down the mountain, and I don't know what the world is like outside the mountain. In case I encounter some robbers or bandits on the road, I can defend myself with a stick. He was still wielding the stick.
The two of them walked along the winding path to the lake at the bottom of the mountain, the water of the lake was clear and bright, and the sunlight shining on the surface of the lake was like a huge mirror, reflecting the seven colors of brilliance, dazzling.
Several small boats were docked on the shore, and they got on one of them nearby. Ling Hao stood at the bow of the boat, urging the boat with his aura, and slowly sailed towards the opposite shore. Both of them landed on the shore and walked non-stop in the direction of 'Hearthfire Town'. Although it is not very far from Yunding Peak, it is also more than 500 miles away.
"We have to speed up the journey, Mu Yu, we won't rest on the road, let's rest when we get to the destination."
Chu Muyu was walking around and fiddling with the stick, still muttering in his mouth: "Okay, don't let me go hungry." ”
They rented two horses in the small village they were passing by, and soon came to Luhuo Town, as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the town, Chu Muyu felt a little hot, and the temperature was obviously much higher than on the road here.
"Senior Brother Mu Yu, this is a famous furnace town, there are about a hundred families in it, all of which are blacksmith shops. And the blacksmiths here are also very famous, they are all ancestral crafts, and they have been learned since childhood. ”
Mu Yu followed his senior brother to walk through the streets of the town, explaining this place seriously. They came to a relatively large blacksmith shop, and walked into the courtyard, where there were many iron platforms and stoves, and several young and strong, shirtless men were beating the iron tools in their hands. Multiple bellows were pulled at the same time, and the flames of several furnaces were getting high.
"He often has a lot of rare ores here, which can cast high-grade weapons, and now we have many disciples in Yunding Peak, and there are still very few people who can break through the Spirit God Realm after all, so they still need a lot of materials to cast weapons. ”
Pushing open the door, a wave of heat rushed out, Chu Muyu took a deep breath and coughed for a long time. Follow the senior brother into the room, the house is not big, there is only a single room. There are all kinds of weapons on all sides of it, some of which have already been built, and some of which are only in their first shape.
"Yo Yo Yo ...... Ling Hao, what kind of wind blew you here? We haven't seen each other in two years. ”
"Mu Yu will introduce to you, this is Da Zhuang, my childhood friend, his craftsmanship has completely inherited his father's craftsmanship, but he is a famous blacksmith in this town!"
"Hello seniors, my name is Chu Muyu, and I am the youngest disciple of Yun Ding Peak. Mu Yu arched his hand and said.
"Don't call me too old, what seniors, we are all friends, and we are commensurate with each other. Da Zhuang said with a smile.
"Da Zhuang, I came here this time to buy you a batch of materials to cast weapons, and you take out all your inventory. ”
"Where did I get so much inventory, you came two years ago, and you bought all the materials I had stored for several years, as well as the cold iron that I have treasured for a long time, you didn't let go. What's the matter, it's time to hit me again?"
"That piece of cold iron, I made a sword for myself. After speaking, Ling Hao pulled out half of the sword in his hand, and the blade emitted a chilling aura, which made people shiver unconsciously.
"It's really a good piece of material, and it can create this one-in-a-million weapon. Now I don't have a rare treasure like cold iron here, and if you want ordinary materials, I still have a lot of them, but well, the price is ......." Da Zhuang's squinted eyes, Scrooge's nature was vividly expressed!
"The price is good, let's talk slowly. Ling Hao and Da Zhuang stepped aside to negotiate the price.
Chu Muyu was not idle, he walked out of the room, went to an iron platform in the courtyard, and watched the blacksmith forge the big knife in his hand. The powerful arm struck the iron piece clamped by the pliers, and the sparks from the friction between the hammer and the iron piece flew everywhere. Mu Yu took two steps back.
"This big brother, can you cast anything?" Chu Muyu suddenly asked the blacksmith in front of him.
"Yes, swords, swords, halberds, bows and arrows, daggers, hidden weapons, there is nothing we will not do. The blacksmith still wielded the sledgehammer in his hand.
"Oh, got it. Mu Yu responded and didn't speak, just watched quietly from the side.
About half an hour, Ling Hao and Da Zhuang walked out of the room, and with their expressions and words of mutual flattery, they should have negotiated the price. Da Zhuang's eyes were smiling into a line, and he must be very satisfied with the price given by his senior brother. Mu Yu hurriedly walked up.
"Mu Yu, let's go first, and we'll pick it up in a few days when Da Zhuang prepares the materials. ”
"Wait, senior brother, I want to find Big Brother to help me build something!"
"What are you going to build?" Da Zhuang asked as he looked at Mu Yu.
Mu Yu took out the small piece of Ugin from his belt and handed it to Da Zhuang.
"Ugin ......!" "Little brother, I didn't expect you to have such rare materials on you, although this Ugin is very good, but your piece is too small, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to barely be able to hit a dagger."
"No, I want a ring!"
"Rings?" Da Zhuang was a little overwhelmed, thinking about such a rare material, although it is not big, but it is basically used to make weapons, and a dagger is more practical than a ring.
"Well, Brother Zhuang, you see how much silver it costs if you help me make a ring with a small gem inlaid on it. ”
"Hahaha, that transaction just now has already made me a lot of money, you make a small ring, and I will also accept your silver, isn't it too unkind! Come on, come on, you give me Ugin and gems, I will help you build it, you can get it tomorrow." ”
"Brother Zhuang, can you fight now, I can hand it over to you Ugin, it's not very important to me, but that gem ......" Mu Yu took out the brocade box from his arms. When Ling Hao saw the brocade box he had given him, he understood in his heart the importance of the relics to him. He categorically would not give it to anyone else for safekeeping.
"Da Zhuang, you just work hard, isn't it a stick of incense time for you to make a ring, this gem is left to him by his family, and he regards it as his own life. Ling Hao said to Mu Yu.
Da Zhuang looked at Mu Yu, thought about Ling Hao's words, sighed and said, "Ling Hao, I sent you in my last life, come on, come in with me." ”
