"More than twenty years?" Black Iron Hand listened to the master say this, his face was a little strange, since he apprenticed to the present has been more than 20 years, these years, the master has never said anything from the past, he only once heard the master drink too much and said that he is not from Luoyang, from the north, and then he also asked the master about the previous things, but the master either did not answer, or did not answer the question, if so, the master's previous experience has not been revealed in front of his eyes.

After so many years, the master of the black iron hand treated him as if he were his own, they were called master and apprentice, but the love was more than father and son, and he didn't care so much about the master's past, after all, everyone has a past, some people either like to show off, and some people don't want to mention it in their lives.

"The second happy event that the master said...... Could it be related to the little friends I visited two days ago? "There are no guests in the house these days, if you want to say it, there are only a few people in Chu Haoge, although he asked it with his mouth, but he already knew in his heart that this matter must be related to the three young men and women who came to the house that day.

If his master didn't mention it, maybe Hei Tieshou wouldn't ask again, but since he mentioned it, it inevitably made him extremely curious in his heart, he remembered that when the master came to Luoyang, he was unkempt and looked extremely bad.

What did the master go through at that time?

"Alas......" Old Man Mei nodded with a smile, and then frowned, these two expressions converged on his face very tangled, and his voice was very low: "Twenty years ago, ......"

Old Man Mei's words were very slow and complicated, and he said, "I thought I had done a great thing...... He also called himself a savior...... In the end, countless people were harmed. ”

"......" The black iron hand looked at the master with a sad face, looked a little worried, and hurriedly poured another cup of tea for the master, handed it to the master, and did not speak, just held it silently.

"Hehe......" Old Man Mei smiled self-deprecatingly, he took the teacup handed to him by the black iron hand, held it, but did not drink it, shook his head and said, "Providence is providence after all...... If the heavens should be in calamity, they will surely fall before people, and if someone escapes, others will naturally suffer...... If you are not a god, how dare you change the will of heaven? ……”

Hei Tieshou listened to the master's words, his brows were locked, he was talking about things more than 20 years ago just now, and what kind of providence was he talking about this time, it was really difficult to understand.

"Ahem...... Heh......" Old man Mei also knew that he was a little off-topic, shook his head lightly and took a sip of tea, and then as if he had been burned, he blew lightly twice, and then drank a small sip, until his throat "gurgled" and swallowed the tea, and then said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I gave out an object that should have been sent out a long time ago, although it was late, but after all, it was a wish of mine." ”

"Objects?" The black iron hand was a little strange, and suddenly seemed to remember something: "Master, are you talking about the sword box that Gongzi Chu took away?" ”

Old man Mei didn't speak, just lowered his head and drank tea, and didn't say yes or no.

"That...... Didn't you keep it in the warehouse all the time? The black iron hand thought, and thought back to a long time ago, when the master taught him to make iron, but at that time he was not very famous, and the technique of striking iron was not very skilled, so there were no good materials in the store, and I remember that he fell in love with the "iron lump" at that time, he was also a blacksmith, and he was very sensitive to iron, so he discussed with the master whether he could melt it and make a famous weapon.

As a result, the black iron hand saw the master angry for the first time, it was really like a rage Mount Tai dumped, and the black iron hand that was not much at the time was so scared that he didn't dare to let go, and he was honestly beaten by the master, and then he felt palpitations whenever he saw this "iron pimple", but he didn't expect to give it away so easily this time.

However, the apprentice should listen to the master's words, and don't care about the things that shouldn't be taken care of, and he doesn't say anything more.

【Southern Suburbs of Luoyang】

Chu Haoge buried the corpse on the spot with a heavy heart, although he had already accepted the guilt and fear caused by the murder in his heart, but who would not feel uncomfortable watching such a bloody scene? Jiuli Qiantaro and Murong also came to help, Murong didn't feel much, looking at this scene was just a little disgusting, but after suffering Jiuli Qiantaro, she tried not to look at it, so she turned her brain to the side, but the foul smell still came to her nose, causing her to retch again.

I have to say that at this time, Murong felt that she was much stronger than Jiuli Qiantaro for the first time, if she usually felt that Jiuli Qiantaro was better than herself in terms of appearance, spells, and etiquette with people, but this time she saw Jiuli Qiantaro's weakness, and her heart was inexplicably relaxed.

After a while, the three of them buried this person, Chu Haoge's kindness was overflowing, and he wanted to set up a monument for him, but Murong unceremoniously asked him what do you want to write in the inscription? Yes, the three of them don't know him, do they have to learn from the ancients and erect a wordless monument? What "gain and loss posterity argues." "Apparently this man is not at that level.

At this time, the mood of the three people was a little low, the smell of blood had not yet dissipated, and several people decided to set off on their way, although it was going to be dark, but if they didn't leave here, I was afraid that they would smell the smell of blood for another night...... What's more, they know that this is the wild, and if the smell of blood attracts some beasts, it would be bad if they encountered a wolf attack last time in [Qilin], Chu Haoge didn't know if his current strength could compete with a hundred and ten wolves, but he knew that if something like that happened again, they would not be able to turn evil into good fortune like last time, after all, immortals are not cabbages, and there will be many of them if you look for them.

The three of them set off immediately, and as before, Murong Xiaoyan and Chu Haoge walked in front, and Jiuli Qianyu followed behind, but it was not far away, and the three of them faintly became a triangle, and they invisibly walked out of a battle formation.

"Young Master Chu." Jiuli Qiantaro followed behind the two, staring at the sword box he was carrying behind him, at this time, the stars had already entered the sheath, and there was no trace of chill or evil aura around Chu Haoge, but what made Jiuli Qiantaro a little strange was ...... There were black stains in the recessed slits on the top of the sword case, but the surface was as good as new, and if you didn't look closely, you probably wouldn't have noticed this subtle bit.

"Huh?" Chu Haoge walked and turned back to Jiuli Qianyu and said, "What's wrong?" Jiuli girl. ”

"Uh...... It's nothing. Jiu Li Qiantaro wanted to say her guess, but after all, the matter had not been clarified yet, and she didn't know the specific situation, so she really couldn't say it, after all, Chu Haoge had already obtained the sword box, and the others were not very important.

"Ah......" Chu Haoge was a little strange when he heard him say this, but Jiu Li Qiantao didn't want to say it, and he couldn't ask any more.

Jiu Li Qianyu stared at the sword box, she thought that the stain in the gap was the dirt such as coal ash that was accidentally left in it when she built it, but if you look closely, it is not the case, this is obviously the dirt generated by the dust accumulation to a certain age, and the surface is obviously wiped by someone, so it seems that this sword box is by no means a recent creation, it is definitely some years.

She suddenly recalled in her mind that Old Man Mei's first reaction when he saw the starlight, it was definitely not the reflection of the ordinary craftsman when he saw the famous weapon, he was too excited, and this sword box was integrated with Chu Haoge's starlight sword......

All the clues are connected together, it seems that this sword box was created a long time ago, and it has always been in the hands of Old Man Mei, Old Man Mei just made up a reason to give it to Chu Haoge, and in this way, Old Man Mei may have a deep relationship with this starlight sword.

After figuring out what was going on, it seemed that eight or nine were inseparable, and then she told Chu Haoge her speculation, which caused Chu Haoge to ponder for a while, and even Murong, a guy who was not very bright-minded, had a rare way to think about it.

"Huh? You said...... Is it possible that the Starlight Sword was built by this old man Mei? Murong Xiaoyan said it casually, she didn't think too much about it, this was just a casual remark, but it shocked Jiuli Qiantaro and Chu Haoge.

The two of them have been thinking about the connection between this old man Mei and Xingmang, but they didn't expect this layer, and their thoughts are too complicated, if they say so, wouldn't they all explain it? When the old man Mei was ordered to build weapons, he created the starlight giant sword and gave it to the emperor, and the emperor transferred it to Chu Haoge's father, but for some reason the sword box was not sent out, so it was left in his hands, and then Chu Haoge's father fought on the battlefield and made great contributions, and the craftsman also left Chang'an City and came to Luoyang for some reasons.

In this way, it is also explained why twenty years ago, he came to Luoyang to accept the apprentice Hei Tieshou, and all these clues were also correct, and then the Chu Haoge family also suppressed the resentment because this starlight sword did not have a scabbard, which made the entire Chu family decline due to strange diseases, leaving only Chu Haoge alone.

Twenty years later, Chu Haoge took the stars to leave his hometown, and happened to come to Luoyang City, and it was very coincidental that he heard about the iron-striking kung fu of his apprentice Hei Tieshou, and asked for iron tools in the west of the city.

"Oh my God......" Chu Haoge muttered in his mouth: "It's too coincidental...... "The world is unpredictable, or there is a providence in the dark. Chu Haoge now has an impulse, that is, to run back to Luoyang City to ask Old Man Mei what is going on, but at that time, it was because of this starlight sword that his family was ruined, and it was actually because this starlight sword box was not given to Chu Haoge's father together with the sword.

He felt that the Starlight Sword behind his back had become extremely heavy, and even overwhelmed him, and his heart was tangled into a mess, but ...... Chu Haoge knew very well that since this old man Mei had created the sword box, he hoped that such a thing could be avoided, and I am afraid that he also knew the power of the Xingmang Sword, since it had been built, it was to be given to the holder of the Xingmang, but it was not given away at that time, I am afraid that there was another hidden reason......

"Huh......" Chu Haoge exhaled, thinking that this old man Mei probably didn't know his father, otherwise he shouldn't have to hide it from himself, this old man Mei is probably just trying to hide his own starry things, probably because he is afraid that he will do something radical in anger, after all, in some sense, Old Man Mei is the initiator of the destruction of Chu Haoge's family.

Chu Haoge thought to himself: "Old man Mei made up a lie, everyone will be embarrassed if they expose this lie...... If this is the case, it is better not to say it, after all, these are not deliberate actions of Old Man Mei, if so, he doesn't have to spend so much trouble and give him the Xingmang Sword Box, wouldn't everything be good if he pressed it directly in his hand?"

The three of them chatted all the way, all the way out of the southern border of Luoyang, it was already late at night, and as before, Jiuli Qiantaro went to lay down a vigilant formation, and when he came back, Chu Haoge had already raised the fire, Murong and he were chatting by the fire, she sat down next to her, and she didn't speak.

Chu Haoge took out some dry food from the baggage, handed some to Murong and Jiuli Qiantaro, the two of them were not polite, and began to eat, along the way the three of them were used to this kind of wild camping, remember that before they arrived in Luoyang, they caught up with the rain at night, and the seat was also very embarrassing, not in front of the village and behind the store, and then thanks to finding a small cave, this was able to rest.

"Hey...... Chu Haoge. Murong Xiaoyan said while eating, eating in small bites, looking much more ladylike than usual.

"Huh?" Chu Haoge looked back at her, not knowing what she was going to say.

"We've heard about it along the way...... Many cities have been broken out of evil diseases, that is, they have been stripped of their souls, Gangneung...... It's going to be fine......" Her voice trembled a little as she spoke, "I'm a little panicked. ”

Chu Haoge glanced at her and knew that she was worried about her younger brother who she hadn't seen for a few years, and she had heard her mention it along the way, it was when she was a child that something happened in her family, and she took her younger brother out of the village where she was, and then ...... His younger brother seemed to be a bad drug dealer and was abducted and trafficked far away.

As for her former village, she didn't say a word, probably because there was something she didn't want to mention.

"It's okay, it's going to be fine." Chu Haoge patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, but there was not much convincing in his words.

"Hmm......" Murong Xiaoyan nodded, then quieted down and ate the dry food in his hand.

Seeing Murong Xiaoyan's appearance, Jiuli Qiantaro on the side said very calmly: "Hmm...... Miss Murong, you can rest assured, Jiangling is not far from the Qingyun Immortal Sect, it can be said that every move is under the eyes of the Immortal Sect, and those people don't dare to go to Jiangling no matter how rampant they are. ”

"......" Murong Xiaoyan glanced at Jiuli Qiantaro very gratefully, and showed a knowing smile, although it seemed that Jiuli Qiantaro was just telling an ordinary thing, but this sentence made Murong Xiaoyan feel a lot more relieved.
