Coincidentally, Guo Lao's home is also from Pingshui County, and he is on the way to Han Yu. Therefore, after Han Yu found out, he invited them to go on the road together.

For such a thing, of course Guo Lao and they will not refuse, and there is no reason to refuse. So, what was originally a journey of two people became four people!

Han Yu is the first time to meet Guo Lao's son, Guo Qingshan, a person as his name suggests, a strong and heavy body, honest and simple like a young man like a mountain.

Along the way, Guo Qingshan said very little, but he revealed a kind of simplicity of mountain people, which was very appealing. Therefore, it didn't take long for Han Yu and his son to fall in love with this young man who didn't talk much.

Pingshui County is nearly 200 kilometers away from Beihai County, and it is a long journey, so chatting is undoubtedly the best way to pass the time.

So, Han Yu knew that Guo Lao and Guo Qingshan were blacksmiths, not only them, but most of the people in their village were blacksmiths. It's just that with the increasing degree of modernization, the living space of blacksmiths is shrinking sharply.

Guo Lao's village is no exception! As the income became worse and worse, and seeing that the people in a village had no livelihood, most of the young people in the village began to work in the county seat!

The remaining elderly people do not want the skills taught by their ancestors to disappear like this, but they must also find another way out in order to continue the cause of ironmaking!

Guo Lao is highly respected in the village, and when he was young, he followed his master to the north and south, which can be called well-informed, so this difference naturally fell on the head of the old man who was old and strong!

It's just that he was burdened with the ardent expectations of the villagers, but he never expected that he had just gotten out of the car and was knocked to the ground by a cross-cutting car.

"You know how to strike iron?" Han Yu raised his eyebrows in some surprise, only to find that the old man's arms were far thicker than ordinary people, and the thick fingers and vicissitudes of calluses did not seem to be what ordinary old farmers could have: "What can you fight?" ”

Guo Qingshan nodded honestly and said, "Hoe, sickle, shovel, iron fork, ......"

Han Yu frowned slightly, are they all farm tools? It's no wonder that they are gradually losing the market, and nowadays, in order to make money, those combine harvesters are where there is a road, and they will go.

If you go to the factory to work for a day, it is enough to pay for the harvest, who will brave the heat with a sickle and a sickle, harvest, dry, and beat by yourself? Isn't this a hard time with yourself?

As for the hoe, it is for weeding, but now there is that kind of weeding agent, and after hitting the ground, not even a single grass hair grows, and it is as smooth as a football field, so what is the use of a hoe?

The same goes for shovels and forks! High-tech, high-tech, if you want to see these things again in the future, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the museum!

Han Yu sighed secretly in his heart, I don't know why, he was a little depressed! The things handed down by the ancestors have been ruthlessly abandoned, I really don't know if this is progress, or forgetting the roots?

"What else would you do besides this?" After a pause, Han Yu said directly: "Do you know how to fight knives?" ”

"Knives?" Guo Qingshan turned his head and glanced at his father.

Guo Lao's eyes stared at Han Yu tightly, and a light that was not commensurate with his age and identity flashed in his dim eyes.

After a while, he said softly: "I have long seen that you are not an ordinary person, what are you doing?" ”

Han Yu was slightly silent for a while before saying, "Now it's to save people, and in the future, maybe you'll kill people!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the air in the car suddenly suffocated slightly. His son frowned slightly, he felt that Han Yu should not have said it so directly, so as not to frighten them.

But Guo Lao's reaction was far stronger than he imagined: "A person who can still lend a helping hand to the dying old man, killing people should also be to save people!" ”

Guo Qingshan said with a little excitement: "Knife, we can fight!" Don't know how much you need? ”

Since Han Yu said it, he didn't hide it: "If you can kill people, maybe a hundred, maybe more!" ”

Guo Qingshan frowned and said, "But we don't have an iron embryo!" ”

"I'll let you in!"

"We need a lot of wood!"

"I'll figure it out!"

Guo Qingshan turned his head to look at his Lao Tzu, Guo Lao chuckled and said, "On the mountain behind our village, there are iron ore and timber!" All you have to do is recruit the offspring of our village to dig them! ”

Han Yu smiled: "Okay! ”

The car went straight through Pingshui County and went straight to Guo Lao's village.

Yuchi Village, it is said that it is the village where Yu Chigong was born, because there was a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty who struck iron, so the whole village has been striking iron for generations! I don't know if I'm proud of this, or if I want to make a strong future against the sky by striking iron!

Pingshui County is much more remote and backward than Beihai County, and this Weichi Village, compared to Beiguan Village, also seems to be more vicissitudes!

Far away, the first thing you see is a circle of mountains, the mountains are not high, they are not big, there are no scenery and stones, so it is still desolate.

Yuchi Village got out of the car in this desolate mountain embrace, and Han Yu stretched his arms a little tiredly. The bumps along the way, even he couldn't bear it a little, but looking at Guo Qingshan and Guo Lao, it seemed that he didn't care, Han Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't make a sound, but raised his eyes to look at it!

The houses in Yuchi Village are very old, and they are all made of local materials. The horizontal wood on the top is a beam, and the grass is a cover, which looks inconspicuous, but it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is much more comfortable than a cage made of reinforced concrete.

Of course, not all houses are like this, at least Han Yu saw a courtyard built on a high place, although it was a little dilapidated, but he could still vaguely see the appearance of blue bricks and red tiles.

"It's the residence of the village committee!" Guo Lao explained softly.

Han Yu nodded and walked towards Guo Lao's courtyard with his son. Because it had just rained, the ground was a little muddy, and it was very comfortable to step on.

The courtyard of the Guo family is not big, except for the three houses in the middle, it is the wide house next to it with a chimney that is more than a basket thick, which occupies most of the courtyard, and it looks like it should be the place where Guo Lao and his iron are struck.

Han Yu walked in. But I saw an iron melting furnace in the middle, and a bellows was placed next to it, and there was a trench to divert water. On the surrounding walls, there are scythes, hoes and other agricultural tools, but there is not a single weapon in sight!

"Knives are contraband, they can't be hung on them!" Guo Qingshan smiled innocently, walked to the molten iron furnace next to him, and competed with each other, it should be made of pig iron, and the iron furnace that looked like it was more than two hundred catties was removed by him by three feet, revealing a black hole below!

Han Yu couldn't help but praise: "Brother Guo has so much strength! ”

His son was also dumbfounded, and nodded very sympathetically when he heard this.

Guo Qingshan smiled a little shyly, turned around and walked down from the entrance of the cave. After a while, there was a faint light at the entrance of the cave!

Han Yu and his son walked down the light, and after more than ten steps, there was a thick ground. Han Yu's eyes swept away, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise!

The furnishings here are similar to the above, except that whether it is the bellows, or the molten iron furnace, the passage through the water is much more exquisite than the above. The handle of the bellows is even smoother, apparently because of the frequent grip of pushing and pulling.

On one side of the bellows, there are some molds lying quietly, looking at the shape, it should be a model of pouring molten iron into a sword and a knife.

The surrounding walls are a little cracked, because this place is often baked by fire, so although it is underground, it is not a little damp, but has a faint dryness.

Several torches hung around, lighting thin green smoke.

And the most attractive thing is the things hanging on the walls around it. Instead of the farm tools above, the walls here are covered with knives, swords, and even a few iron guns! Under the flickering firelight, there is a faint murderous aura!

Han Yu walked over and took off a knife with his probe. The guy who doesn't look very conspicuous weighs more than ten pounds in his hand, although he hasn't opened the blade yet, but a heavy chill has come to his face!

"Good knives!" His son also took a handful, looked at it twice, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Han Yu held the knife in his hand, and suddenly swung it forward, and a sharp roar of splitting the wind slammed into his ears! Han Yu's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "It's really a good knife!" ”

Guo Qingshan smiled honestly: "This is called Modao!" ”

His son's eyes lit up, this guy's skills may not be very good, but for ancient weapons, he is enthusiast-level: "Mo knife in the Song Dynasty? ”

"No, it's imitation!" Kwok Castle Peak Road.

"Oh!" His son nodded with a sigh of relief, if these two masters can really forge the Great Song Mo Knife, then he has to ask the two of them to sign a deed of sale for him, no, he will arrest them all and lock them up in a small black room......

Han Yu glanced at him and said softly, "Is Modao famous?" ”

"The reason why the weak Great Song Dynasty was able to establish the capital and the Central Plains of Pingchuan and resist the cavalry of the Northern Dynasty was to rely on the military formation composed of Mo swordsmen! When Zhu Yuanzhang built the Ming Dynasty, he had two regrets in his life, one was not to get the jade seal of the country, and the other was that the tempering method of the Mo knife was lost. ”

His son stroked the back of the knife and said softly.

Han Yu stared at the Mo knife in his hand again, as if he saw the scene of the knife coming out, the horse breaking, and the person dying!

Guo Lao walked over, picked up a knife on the wall, and the whole person seemed to be a different kind of person, his body stood straight, his face was radiant, and he said with awe-inspiring majesty: "The knife is divided into three grades, and the first-class knife can only be cast in thirty years, which is called the heavenly knife!" ”

"The second class, one is forged in three years, and it is called the earth knife!"

"The third class, one is forged in three months, and it is turned into a human knife! As for the knives that people often say, they are made by machines in batches, and at most they can only be called iron sheets! This one in your hand is a third-class human sword! ”

Han Yu's eyes revealed a thick light, and he said in a deep voice: "Then Guo Lao, is there a heavenly sword here?" ”

"The world is flashy, thirty years to forge a knife, I don't have that surname!" Guo Lao shook his head slowly.

Han Yu couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, but listened to Guo Laodao: "However, although I didn't create a heavenly knife, my ancestors handed down a knife, it is said that this knife is three points sharper than the heavenly knife, three points harder, and three points flexible!" Because this knife has been forged by three ancestors, it is one nail long! ”

Guo Lao turned his head, looked at Han Yu and smiled, "Are you interested?" ”

Han Yu silently looked at the knife in his hand, a ground knife-level Mo knife that came out in three months, if it was left outside, I am afraid it would be worth tens of thousands of yuan. As for the Heavenly Sword, it is enough to enter the world's first-class famous sword! More than the Heavenly Sword? Han Yu couldn't estimate its value, but he knew that he couldn't afford it! So, he shook his head slowly.

"Don't you want to see it?" Guo Lao was still smiling.

Han Yu said honestly: "I want to, but it's in vain to see it, I can't afford it now!" ”

"Hehe, what is a knife? It's just a weapon of killing. If you can't kill, call yourself a sword! Guo Lao smiled and said, "If you save my old man's life, you can choose one of these knives as a reward!" ”

Han Yu didn't refuse this time, nodded slowly, and swept over these knives one by one.

These knives are of different lengths, but they all exude a chill, no matter where they are, they are all considered a good knife!

Even, in it, Han Yu also saw a knife that was not very inconspicuous and could exude a murderous aura like a substance.

Ground knives!

Han Yu's eyes flashed, and he walked over, but just as he was about to walk in front of one of the ground knives, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dull and lifeless knife in the corner of the wall next to him.

It is slightly longer than the Mo knife, but the knife body is slightly narrow, the whole body is dull, it looks like an unfinished product, discarded by the owner, and the body is covered with a thick layer of dust!

But Han Yu didn't know why, his heart moved, and he walked over slowly.

Probe your hand, hold the knife.

The moment he touched the cold hilt, Han Yu only felt as if his heart had been teased, and the whole person's heart was shocked, and the nameless mind involuntarily ran around and waved his hand!

A flash of cyan light suddenly appeared, it tore through the dim fire like lightning, and then disappeared in an instant!

At this time, a sharp sound like a pinprick broke through the air.

"Good knives!" Han Yu touched the knife body with his hand, but saw that on the knife body, thin twisted thin lines like waves spread out on the knife body, and above the grip, two small seals jumped up with an elegant: "Tiance"!

"Good name!" Han Yu sighed and praised again, and then slowly put the knife back again.

"Isn't this knife bad?" Guo Lao's voice rang out, with a hint of suspicion.

"Good!" Han Yu said simply: "However, it's too precious!" The texture of this knife is far greater than the earth knife, and it is obviously the legendary heavenly knife! Although Han Yu likes it tightly in his heart, he also knows the value of this knife! So don't dare to keep it for yourself! ”

"What is the value? Since you can fancy it, it is related to you! Fate is its greatest value! Guo Lao smiled slightly, walked over, picked up the knife, handed it to Han Yu and said: "This knife, called Tiance, was forged by the ancestors of my Guo family after three generations. You have to remember that the knife is domineering, stand up to the sky, don't bury it! ”

Seeing that Han Yu didn't move, Guo Lao frowned and said, "Do you think this knife is heavier than my old man's life?" ”

Han Yu took it with both hands after a little hesitation, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Guo Lao, please rest assured, Han Yu will definitely not dare to insult the prestige of Tiance!" ”

Guo Lao smiled slightly, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The purpose of the ancestor casting the sword back then was to compete with the pine pattern ancient sword. ”

"Loose Sword?" Han Yu's brows furrowed slightly!

Guo Lao squinted his eyes and said lightly: "The casting method of this sword has been lost, but I heard that someone in the Japanese country has regained this method!" ”

Han Yu's eyes flashed, and he mocked softly: "They also deserve it?" ”
