Chapter 2: First Encounter with the City Lord

Immediately after a muffled sound, a large group of figures appeared around the forging martial arts shop, and for a while, the atmosphere in the sky became a little tense, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at this place.

In the lobby of the forging shop, a young man in cloth was dozing off with his head propped up.

Suddenly, a strong shock came from the ground, and a pinch of dust fell to the tip of his nose, which frightened him very much.

"Master, master, no!" shouted the young man as he sat down on the ground.

"Don't panic. A rough figure came from behind him.

When I heard the sound, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a leather vest, with bulging muscles in his arms, and a face with clear water chestnuts and brown forehead cloth strips on his thick neck.

The middle-aged man is holding a hammer, the palm of his hand is wide and thick, and the back of his hand is scarred and covered with a thick layer of calluses.

The heavy hammer had strange lines on its body, and a sense of heaviness came from it, and a crack at the handle was terrifying and eye-catching.

Well?

The middle-aged man stabilized the young man's mood, turned around and looked at the smoke-filled basement, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, the young man was even more flustered, and his eyes dodged, thinking that it was his own dereliction of duty.

Recently, many forging masters have continued to live in the inland of Tianming City, and many people have rented their basements, although there have been accidents in the past when forgers in the city rented basements.

The basement built by the master is so strong that it is impossible to do so.

Today's events are really strange, what are the people in this basement doing!

"Master.." The boy didn't know what to do, so he had to ask about the middle-aged in front of him.

The middle-aged man turned around and looked at the basement where the noise was happening, but he said something that made people scratch their heads.

"There were a lot of guests coming out there to check it out. ”

Hearing this, the young man patted the dust on his buttocks, got up and walked out the door, the outside of the house was still quiet, but there were rows of figures on the roof, and the eyes of the group of people were also surprised.

"Thisβ€”" The boy was stunned.

A man in gold armor shouted coldly: "Wang He!"

Wang He, who was originally one of the commanders of Tianming City, used to be extremely strong, and he always guarded the safety of Tianming City until the decline of Tianming City, and then he retired from the city, and it was difficult to find traces.

For a while, no one knew where this once dominant leader of Tianming City had gone.

When the gold-armored man called out the name of middle-aged, everyone present was surprised that this inconspicuous shop owner was actually the former commander of Tianming City.

The golden-armored man was imposing, standing on a roof in front of the forging shop with his hands on his chest, the bright red cloak behind him was windless, and faintly, the thunder shadow flashed like a dragon and tiger roaring.

The man's face was handsome, his aura was magnificent, and his strong aura held down many of the figures present, obviously, this person must be a person who has been in a high position for a long time, and the coercion is invisible.

Wang Heti walked to the door with a heavy hammer, his eyes swept over several figures in the audience, his face was not timid, and finally looked at the man in golden armor, and his handsome face lowered slightly.

The person who came was the city lord of Tianming City, no wonder even Wang He became humble and humble, you must know that he was not afraid of so many coveted eyes present before, it can be seen that the status of this city lord in Wang He's heart.

"Lord of the Castle. He bowed.

Well..

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "What's the matter!"

"It may be that an alien blacksmith was forging weapons, and he accidentally had an accident and disturbed the city lord. Wang He replied.

"Hmm. After Zhou Qing pondered, he realized.

The annual martial arts tournament is approaching, Tianming City is slowly becoming lively, and many foreign cultivators have gathered in this city, and cultivators have been like this for ten years, in an endless stream.

It is said that this year's scale is even more unprecedented, some people want to be able to show their skills and make a splash, and some people hope to get the rich rewards and resources of Tianming City, however, the same way makes this city that has been in decline for several years begin to be lively again.

And when these cultivators came here for the first time, they felt the exquisite forging techniques, unique forging techniques, and unique forging resources here, so much so that many forging masters also gathered in Tianming City during the martial arts competition, hoping to gain something.

"The martial arts meeting is coming, and this kind of accident should not happen again. Zhou Qing said.

Tianming City is mixed with fish and dragons, and at this time, the major forging shops are naturally entering a lot of tenants with unfamiliar faces.

Generally speaking, as long as these people give enough money, the forging shop will not inquire about the origin of these forging masters.

In this way, although Zhou Qing ordered that such things were forbidden, after all, it was only a verbal order, and it was only to appease the onlookers, and it was difficult to have practical effect.

Wang He also knew very well in his heart that this kind of thing had happened a lot in recent days, but it was the first time that such a big explosion had happened, so he had no choice but to give an order in the city, so he had to nod his head and agree.

In the middle of their conversation, two figures stepped out of the smoke and dust in the basement.

"Ahem.."

"You kid, do you want to die?"

"After melting so many red blasting stones, Lao Tzu's wine is gone. ”

β€œ...”

In a burst of cursing, two figures walked out of the smoke and dust in the basement, and the scolding figure came from the mouth of the leading old man.

"Huh.."

Driftwood brushed his messy hair, looking at the collapsed floor of the lobby and the smoke and dust behind him, his face was shocked.

"The power of this red blaststone is too amazing. ”

Wiping the cold sweat that flowed on his head, he couldn't help but think back to the situation in the basement just now, looked back at the old man who was still scolding, and couldn't help but admire it a little in his heart.

If it weren't for the protection of the bad old man, he might have really turned into a cloud of smoke and dust in this lobby in the previous explosion.

"Old man, when I sell this weapon, I will buy this broken forging shop and use it as a wine cellar for you!"

Liumu's expression was disdainful, and he looked like an ignorant child, and he was still very grateful to the old man in his heart.

Hum!

The old man glanced at the quickwood fiercely, shook the dust off his head, snorted coldly, and didn't take the words of the quickwood to heart.

Selling weapons?

Zhou Qing and Wang He heard this conversation, and a few dodges landed in the lobby, their arms shook, and the dust brought out of the basement was directly dispersed, revealing two sloppy figures.

The soles of his feet stepped on the ground, kicking up a circle of dust, and his hands were behind his back, and a pressure from above filled the lobby.

"Your Excellency.." Seeing this, Wang He's apprentice immediately panicked.

Zhou Qing waved his hand, Jun Yi's face smiled slightly, his eyes locked on the sloppy Liumu two, looked at them for a while, and finally stayed on Liumu's body for a long time.

The appearance of a beggar, his hair was messy, and his clothes had already turned into strips of cloth floating in the air, no one would be willing to look at these two sloppy people more, but Zhou Qing looked at the two of them unusually.

"This adult, the child is childlike and angry, please forgive me. The sloppy old man was naturally shrewd, and he noticed at a glance that Zhou Qing's identity was not simple, and the first thing he did was to ask for guilt.

The quickwood on the side looked indifferent, and he was not interested in the old man's actions at all, this old treacherous and cunning routine was already familiar, and the next step was that the old man must run away with oil on the soles of his feet.

Sure enough, just as Zhou Qing was looking at himself, a gleam flashed in the sloppy old man's eyes, and the 'power of resentment' began to slowly accumulate in his body.

alas

Liumu sighed and shook his head helplessly, the days of the street rats were about to start again.

bite

A streamer flashed, and the ring on the index finger of the flowing wood flashed a fine light, and the weapon in his hand was taken in, and he was ready to follow the old man away.

Hey

Two suspicious voices sounded in the lobby, and looking for the sounds, it was actually Wang He and Zhou Qing together.

This weapon is not simple!

As a master forger, Wang He could identify the quality of a weapon even at a glance, not to mention that the previous weapon had paused for a long time in Liumu's hand.

This move was also seen by Zhou Qing, and he also discovered the good of the weapon.

Looking at these two little beggar-like people, it is not easy to smash this basement out of a big hole, and suddenly both of them feel that the beggar in front of them is not simple.

Zhou Qing turned around and saw the rusty sign under the old man's messy strip of cloth, and was shocked, forger?

"Boy, the momentum is good, are you interested in coming to my Tianming Academy to study. Zhou Qing smiled slightly, and at the same time, his momentum was released to calm the sloppy old man who was just about to get up.

Hearing the sound, all the figures outside the house walked to the door of the forging shop, and the onlookers watched, who knew that Zhou Qing's words directly made everyone stunned.

Hmm? Is this person brainless, smashing the store not to mention compensation, but also to invite himself to study, I can't help but wonder if this handsome middle-aged man has a problem with IQ.

Liumu was slightly stunned and thought to himself.

"Why?" "Driftwood was also stunned.

Zhou Qing was stunned when he heard this, and he was speechless for a while, you must know that Tianming City is no longer the city that declined ten years ago.

Now, as the highest school in Tianming City, it is even more difficult for ordinary people to enter the Tianming Academy to study, and he was rejected for the first time, and he still looked confident, which made Zhou Qing a little crying and laughing.

"Is there anything to eat?" Seeing Zhou Qing, who had an ugly face, Liumu asked again.

The depression on Zhou Qing's face was finally relieved, and he nodded heavily.

"Is there any wine?" said Quickwood again.

β€œ...”

"Haha!"

Zhou Qing, who had just recovered, his face turned green again in an instant, and the surrounding onlookers all laughed when they saw the famous city lord eating deflated at the little beggar.

Seeing this, Wang He's apprentice on the side was even more anxious than Liumu's face, and he couldn't wait to step forward to help him agree, this opportunity is not something that can be met once or twice.

"Boy, there are naturally some there, and there are still many high-grade martial arts, you are lucky. He spoke.

"Really?" Driftwood tilted his head against his chin in thought.

A flash flashed in his mind, and he turned to look at the sloppy old man beside him.

It's strange, why didn't this old man follow the routine today, and there was no movement at all?

burst

When he saw the old man's appearance, Liumu smiled slightly, and the old man was finally deflated once.

I saw that the old man was like carrying a thousand pounds of heavy stones, the green tendons bulged under the messy hair, and the cold sweat slid down the strands of scaled hair, and the cyan resentful spirit appeared behind him, but outside it was wrapped in a silver-white resentful spirit, and the resentful spirit thundered and surged to suppress the old man's cyan resentful spirit and prevent it from escaping.

"Stinky boy, my waist is about to break. When the old man saw the appearance of the driftwood, he squeezed a few words out of his mouth angrily.

"How is it?" Zhou Qing ignored the sloppy old man and continued to ask.

"Take him with you, and you'll be fine. "Driftwood Road.

"Good. Zhou Qing did not hesitate.
