Chapter 34 The Stone Pagoda of Mending Heaven

It's not that the big shopkeeper didn't see Yang Li's means just now, but he just wanted to pay as little as possible and reduce their own costs until Yang Li spoke well. But if Yang Li would never back down, as a businessman, he would not let go of every opportunity to take advantage of it, so he pretended to think about it, and then slapped the back of his head, as if he had suffered a big loss, and nodded fiercely and said yes.

Yang Li had just come here, so Ah San wanted to pull him around, so that he could get familiar with the environment here as soon as possible.

But the big shopkeeper was unhappy again, he said that since everyone is a family, then a batch of weapons to be made in the store tomorrow still have to trouble everyone to make it as soon as possible, this "everyone" also includes Yang Li, of course, it also includes Ah San.

Therefore, under his obscenity, Yang Li was only led by Ah San to take a look at the place where he encountered drinking water, because of course he had to sweat a lot to strike iron, and these blacksmith masters had stayed by the stove for many years, of course, to replenish the water in his body.

Therefore, each blacksmith will have light salt water in the blacksmith for the blacksmith to replenish his own water. In addition, after Yang Li knew the general direction of the latrine, he was driven to work next to the iron pier.

However, such a quick start to work also meets Yang Li's psychological requirements, he just wants to learn quickly, and then leave quickly, to pursue his avenue, to condense the phantom in his body, if he is slow to get started, he is not willing.

The big shopkeeper still went back to sit on his tall Taishi chair, but unintentionally glanced at Yang Li's side, seriously evaluating the cheap labor he had invited, to see if it was really as Yang Lifang had just shown, and could truly show extraordinary forging skills.

The other blacksmiths in the row were playing with iron tools in their hands, and they were also peeking to see if Yang Li, a newcomer, could come up with any new tricks. It also made everyone look long, so for a while, except for the sound of ping pong, there was no other sound here, and everyone was silently paying attention to Yang Li's next performance.

Ah San doesn't care about these, the blacksmith who originally gave him a hand can't get into his eyes, because this guy is very strong, and often has to do two or three times the work of others, although the salary is also two or three times that of others, but the blacksmith who originally gave him a hand can't bear it, because the speed can't keep up, and he has been reprimanded by Ah San several times.

It's good that there is a person whose divine power is no less than his. At the same time, the blacksmith who had given Ah San a hand was also relieved, feeling that he had finally come out and no longer needed to work with Ah San, a madman, before he was sent to the workbench next to him to continue to give people a hand, he passed by Yang Li, his eyes showed a look of pity, and he looked at Yang Li, his facial expression made Yang Li very uncomfortable.

His expression was full of content, with pity, sympathy, and even schadenfreude.

A San's workbench is a batch of knives, today they have to play a total of 16, and each piece is required to be a high-quality product, although it is not required to blow the hair and break the blade, but it must also be about the same quality.

Yang Li is responsible for folding and forging the iron and then forging and folding, and only after repeating and then forging the iron into a knife blank, such a work will not only consume people's physical strength, but also wear down people's will.

But Yang Li, under Ah San's careful teaching, quickly learned the craft, so that in the end, he finished polishing all 16 knife blanks, and Ah San next to him had not finished all this batch of goods.

Despite this, Ah San was still very happy in his heart, because he had tested the knife blanks made by Yang Li halfway, and found that none of them were unqualified, and the speed was extremely fast, where to withdraw to find such a precious apprentice.

The big shopkeeper was also happy to see all this, and he thought about giving Yang Li a little more work tomorrow, so that he wouldn't have to invite him to a game.

When night falls, of course, the night here is just darker than the so-called daytime, because everyone is in the sea of flames, although most of them have adapted to the environment here, the high temperature and high heat are just a habitual existence for everyone, so as long as the weather is so cool, the light is so dark, it is treated as a night time.

After eating the blacksmith's dinner with Ah San, although this was not what the big shopkeeper wanted to see, he thought that Yang Li should go to eat the apprentice's meal, but because of Ah San's insistence, and Yang Li did show extraordinary labor ability, he could be described as a top four.

However, the amount of food he ate was indeed amazing, and one person actually ate the amount of four people, and if he was seen by the big shopkeeper, he would definitely die of heartache.

After Yang Li ate all the food of the four people into his stomach in the midst of everyone's dumbfounded gaze, he followed Ah San with satisfaction, and the blacksmiths and apprentices who were working together with everyone at the same time met with each other and were familiar with the environment inside the gale forging, so he went back to Ah San's house with Ah San.

Ah San's home is indeed not far from here, he lives in a corner of a small house, next to three or four neighbors, some pulling carts and some enlisting in the army, all ordinary people. The four houses of their houses are intertwined together to form a roughly Qi courtyard house.

Before Yang Li and the others could reach the front of the house, a puppy with a big fart jumped out of it, barking wildly, and greeted its owner, Ah San. Although this puppy is not big, but it is very smart, and when he saw that Yang Li came with Ah San, he rubbed a few times at Yang Li's feet affectionately, which not only reminded Yang Li of the rhubarb in his hometown, but also the Ah Huang who walked in front of him all the year round and accompanied him into the mountains to hunt.

A few years ago, he had returned to his hometown, and he had seen Rhubarb, who had grown up a lot, but he didn't know how he and his adoptive mother and little sister were doing now? Yang Li remembered all the past events, and stood outside the door unconsciously, until Ah San pushed him, he came to his senses, and then his face was a little sneering, and then he followed Ah San into the door.

Ah San lives in a wing room in the east, and the room here is not very large, except for accommodating Ah San's family of three, there is no extra place for Yang Li, a stranger, to sleep.

However, since Ah San brought people here, he had a way to settle down, and he said hello to the people in the west wing opposite, and arranged for Yang Li to live with him.

The brother who lives with him has a very strange surname, his surname is Pu, so Ah San calls it Ah Pu, of course, Yang Li also calls him Ah Pu, but Pu is homophonic with that kind of prostitute, so whenever Yang Li calls him, a bad picture will rise in his head. Fortunately, the neighbors here are all called like this, and the call is very natural, so Yang Li slowly got used to it.

In the evening, everyone fell asleep, and Yang Liwei was close to Ah Pu, because everyone's bunks were almost close to each other, so there was no match, and there was no one to talk to Ah Pu. He asked, "Everyone calls you Apu, but you should also have a big name, right?"

Ah Pu seemed to be very reluctant to talk about his name, and only after a long time did he say two words: "Hu Ting", "Oh" Yang Li heard the words, and then added the word Pu in front of the Hu Pavilion.

Pu Hu Ting, three big characters with golden light suddenly appeared in front of Yang Li, that is to say, it was suddenly stopped at that time, which was really unbearable and couldn't help laughing. Yang Li resisted the urge to burst into laughter, and quickly turned his face sideways to sleep, it was really difficult to face Pu Hustop.

"In his sleep" Yang Li's whole body trembled because of the laughter too violently, he remembered that there was a family surnamed Yang next to their village, and a daughter also had a strange name, the big name was Aihua, and the surname and the first name were joined together to become Yang Aihua. For this reason, everyone loves to make fun of her every time they see her, so that she always cries and runs back to her house every time, and never dares to go out again.

I don't know how long it took, in a particularly humorous atmosphere, Yang Li sent out his divine sense, and found that the mortal next to him who had not cultivated had fallen asleep, so he sat up and crossed his knees, patted the storage bag, and took out the Heaven Mending Stone Pagoda from it. Because after the mutation of the Heaven Replenishing Stone, Yang Li no longer dared to incorporate it into his body, so he could only put it in a storage bag, which was also easy to access.

The pagoda quickly grew larger in the palm of Yang Li's hand, and without disturbing the sleeping people around him, Yang Li controlled it to the size of the grinding disc and stopped. I remember that before he came here, he threw a few soldiers into it, and it was time to let them out.

Yang Li was afraid of disturbing others in the house, so he came to the courtyard with a grinding plate-sized mending stone, and tried to pour out the soldiers inside in a shaded place shaded by a big tree.

But this pouring didn't matter, with a few muffled sounds, a dark shadow came out of the second layer. Yang Li vaguely saw the silhouette of this person through the hazy firelight, his body was still covered with Kai armor, and a sharp blade hung from his waist, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a young man. The soldier was hunched on his back, his legs trembling, and he seemed to be unsteady on his feet.

Yang Li hurriedly stepped forward to support the person, and saw this person's face up close again, this soldier had a wrinkled face, and his beard was white, saying that he was 70, and others would be too young. Yang Li was inexplicably surprised at this moment, what he threw into during the day was a young and strong soldier, how could he become so old in one fell swoop, what was going on?

Although the elderly soldier was held by Yang Li, a mouthful of phlegm surged up in his mouth, and he was about to cough violently. Yang Liyan stunned him with a quick blow of the knife, and he didn't dare to throw him into the second layer of the pagoda anymore, but just found a place next to him and piled him there.

There was more than one soldier in the pagoda, and Yang Li wanted to know what happened to the rest of the soldiers. So he lifted the grinding disc-sized mending stone high, trying to get the living from it. Yang Li then poured out another soldier from the three-story pagoda who was also old, remembering that he had inadvertently included these soldiers in the pagoda, it was still a matter of the morning, how could these people have all become like this.

I originally thought that the powerful treasure in my hand was from the ancient gods, and what it should have was a holy aura, how could he do such a strange thing? Could it be that after the mutation, the pagoda became a demon tower, and the treasure became a murderer?

If Yang Li hadn't been in someone's courtyard, I'm afraid he would have thrown this thing on the cliff to vent the unspeakable anger in his heart.

But at this time, Yang Li remembered some of the whispers that his mother had babbled when he was leaving, although he was afraid that he couldn't understand or hear clearly at that time, but after he encountered such a strange thing, these words flashed in his mind very clearly.

Yang Li knew that this was probably the intention of his mother's phantom, and it was not until he encountered the corresponding things that this word would clearly appear in his ears.

Yang Li's mother's phantom voice came clearly, and she said, "My child, although the pagoda in your hand has undergone mutation, it still recognizes you as the master. However, you must remember that its second layer of space is not something that you can easily enter now, because there is a reversal of time and a reverse flow of time and space.

But everything has two sides, remember the seed I gave you when I was leaving? This seed is the seed of an ancient tree in the deep mountains, the name of the ancient tree is called Shenmulberry, from the seedling to the growth of a towering ancient tree, even in the upper realm, it takes hundreds of thousands of years.

However, since you have the second layer of the pagoda, you can follow the practice of being a mother and concentrate the five-colored soil. By wrapping the seeds of the ancient tree and placing them on the second layer, the Sacred Mulberry can grow at an extremely terrifying rate, and then you can take the heart of the tree and make a weapon that you can use. ”

After listening to this paragraph, Yang Li's blood boiled, although he was known as a humanoid weapon, he was able to make a self-defense weapon with magical materials, which was a big thing that people wanted to do.

However, after the shadow introduced how to collect the five-colored soil, so that it disappeared in the void, and there was no mention of how to make weapons in the future, I'm afraid that she would be able to appear again at that time, right?

Therefore, whether Yang Li is to make a weapon in his hand, or to see his mother's illusory figure again, he has to cultivate the ancient tree of Shenmulberry, so that he can see his mother's face again.

In order to embark on the quest to search for the five-colored soil one day earlier, Yang Li felt that he had to end his apprenticeship here as soon as possible before he could do what he wanted to do. From the mouth of the phantom, Yang Li learned that the so-called five-colored divine soil was a magical soil that was accidentally bred in the hidden places of heaven and earth with reference to the operation of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Because the Shensang grows in the upper realm, it absorbs extremely rich heavenly aura, and swallows out the unattainable cloud and mist dew in the upper realm. Therefore, to breed such an ancient tree in the nether realm where the aura is extremely weak, not to mention the real action, it is also a very difficult thing to listen to it, so Yang Li's mother's phantom asked Yang Li to find the five-colored divine land.

Only in this way could there be a slight possibility of cultivating this magical seed into a towering tree, and now that Yang Li already had the second layer of the pagoda, the flow of time and space reversal inside could just help him shorten the time for cultivating the ancient tree.

Perhaps after the magical soil is collected, within 3 to 5 years, hundreds of thousands of years of ancient trees will appear in Yang Li's pagoda, and the chance to gather in one place makes Yang Li's heart pound, although he still doesn't know what kind of earth-shattering joy the ancient tree's tree heart can bring.

But his mind has already decided at this moment, that is, to search for the sea of flames, he also wants to find out the five-colored divine land, because the phantom mother said that the colorless divine land is very likely to appear under the nourishment of the flame breath, and the probability of appearing is a little greater than the depths of the sea and the abyss in the land.

Because the more flames are in the sky, the more they can burn everything, and liberate the beneficial and useless breaths in all kinds of objects, it is easy to form a holy land of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in one place, and all kinds of breaths are condensed and pure.

Only in such a holy land will the aura of heaven and earth be nurtured, and even the law of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth will be used to restrain each other, and even here the Heavenly Dao will condense a trace of breath in it, thus generating incredible energy.

If the seeds of the ancient god tree can be nurtured and germinated in it, it will absorb not only energy, but also laws, as well as the way of heaven, of course, after it grows out, the divine power is unpredictable, and the power of heaven and earth contained in the heart of the tree should not be underestimated, so Yang Li's mother Xuying asked him to take this piece of wood to make a weapon, which shows the good intentions and the deep love of licking the calf.

Yang Liku sat in the courtyard, thinking about various things alone in the dark night in the sea of flames, and soon the sky was bright. He hurriedly ran back to the room, fortunately Ah Pu hadn't woken up at this time, so he waited until Ah San came to ask them to have breakfast together, this was to stretch his waist, and gently kicked Ah Pu who was still sleeping with his foot, and woke him up to eat breakfast together.

On the way to the forging and blacksmithing shop, Yang Li noticed that Ah San was carrying a bucket of things that seemed to be very heavy, Yang Li wanted to help Ah San carry it out of kindness, but although Ah San was sweating profusely, he did not agree, and he had been carrying it to Gale Manufacturing by himself, and after putting the bucket in place, he added a lock to it.

Yang Li felt that there must be some secret related to forging hidden in it, but from the outside, there was nothing extraordinary about the wooden barrel to attract people's attention, and even at first glance, it was no different from an ordinary toilet.

It is estimated that the things contained inside are very special, Yang Li leaned out his divine sense to go inside, except for "seeing" some too turbid liquid, but he did not find a different kind of breath, it seems that he has to wait for Ah San himself to uncover the secret hidden here.

Because it is a big day to deliver the king's weapons today, everyone came very early and came together. There are no too many greetings, no greetings between each other, just a look and a movement between each other, even if it is a greeting between colleagues. Then Yang Li and the others began a day's work under the majesty of the big shopkeeper.

In order to learn the craft as soon as possible and go out to find the colorless holy land as soon as possible, Yang Li once again resorted to superhuman techniques. He flew the small hammer in his hand through the wind and rain, and even if an arrow flew towards him at this time, I am afraid that it would not be able to nail it in. After a stormy action, this young man, who had only been here for a day, had already finished building a total of 16 knife blanks.

Ah San's eyes were almost straight when he saw it on the side, he simply put down the work in his hand, and used iron tongs to pinch the iron billets made by Yang Li to verify them piece by piece, and finally had to give a thumbs up.

He can also make a knife blank made by Yang Li, but it is unthinkable if he cleans it all within an hour, but Yang Li has completed it all in half an hour, and it is hard to believe it if he has not seen it with his own eyes.

He looked at Yang Li in a daze for a long time, his eyes were full of doubts and doubts, and finally his gaze was also wandering, and it was overflowing with admiration. He was suspicious in his heart, could it be that this guy had been a blacksmith before, but looking at his fine skin and tender meat, how do you look like Brother Gongzi, where has he suffered so much since he was a child?

He couldn't figure it out, he smiled and shook his head, he had an upright personality, and decided to deliberately embarrass Yang Li, so that he could start building a weapon alone after only one day of apprenticeship, and he was just pointing out one or two from the side.

Of course, Yang Li was at ease with such an arrangement, and he couldn't ask for it.

He just wanted to shorten the time of studying, and soon, under Ah San's careful teaching, he made a ghost head knife with a cold light flashing, although the cold light emitted from the blade was still a little less than the spear head forged by his red and gray cousin, but it was already able to be successfully handed over to the prince after Ah San rested for a while, which is such a fast learning speed.

Every teacher would like to see such an apprentice, and Ah San was no exception, and he taught Yang Li almost all the iron-striking skills he had learned in his life throughout the day.

And Yang Li really lived up to his expectations, he actually learned it in one day, and he became proficient, even the big shopkeeper who was watching from the sidelines, seeing that Ah San handed over so many high-grade big knives today, he was also full of praise, and even took the initiative to ask Yang Li for more money for the first time.

But Yang Li didn't see the liquid in the mysterious bucket used in the forging this day, and his curiosity had already been mobilized, but as long as Ah San didn't take the initiative to uncover this mysterious veil, he also pretended to be stupid, knowing that all the work involving handicrafts and handicrafts generally had their own secrets, so people didn't say that he was not easy to break, but he just occasionally glanced at the bucket with the rest of his eyes without saying a word, but it didn't mean that his heart was as calm as water.

After returning home in the evening, Yang Li used his own money to make a pot of fine wine, and then took advantage of the wine, pretending to say casually: "Although I have only been here for a day, I see that there is a wooden barrel next to each group of blacksmiths, we seem to have one, I don't know what it contains?"

Ah San, who was already a little drunk, was obviously stimulated by this sentence, and he hurriedly sat up straight, hiding a trace of embarrassment that was difficult to hide. This look, this expression, did not escape Yang Li's spiritual sense, he knew that there must be a major secret of the forging method contained in it.

With his current friendship with Ah San for only a day or two, even if Ah Sansheng is bold and upright, I am afraid that he will be tight-lipped, so if you want to know the secrets inside, I am afraid it will take a lot of brains.

Yang Li stopped the chopsticks in his hand, sighed, patted the storage bag, and offered a three-story pagoda from it.
