Qin Chuan's things are not much to tidy up, only some bamboo slips and those gold that need Wei Ying's help to bring into the western land, and some other clothes can be carried with you. Standing at the door and looking at the snow in the yard that had not completely melted, a cold wind blew in his face, making Qin Chuan unconsciously shrink his neck.

"This year's Chinese New Year is on the way." Qin Chuan's voice was a little gloomy. At this time, it is the depths of winter, and the New Year is not long away.

Gan Long didn't restrict Qin Chuan from leaving the Guogong Mansion this time, but he couldn't leave the city. Qin Chuan walked out of the Guogong Mansion and walked straight towards the blacksmith shop. Far away, I heard the sound of hammers pounding.

Qin Chuan stood in front of the blacksmith shop and watched the blacksmith meticulously hammer a red sword strip on the stone platform. Qin Chuan didn't make a sound, just looked at it in a daze, the sparks on the stone platform burst out, and they fell into his eyes, it was so brilliant and colorful.

"Stinky boy, what are you doing in a daze? Still not coming in yet? The blacksmith put the sword into the furnace, looked up and saw Qin Chuan standing outside the shop, and said loudly.

Hearing the blacksmith's voice, Qin Chuan came to his senses, walked into the blacksmith shop, found a stone bench and sat down, lowered his head, and said nothing.

"Why, there's something on my mind. You can have big things at a young age, don't always be sad. After speaking, the blacksmith put down the hammer in his hand, walked in front of Qin Chuan, picked up the wine jug and poured a sip of wine.

"I'm leaving." Qin Chuan said with some loss.

"Your sword is almost ready, and it will only take a day or two." The blacksmith ignored Qin Chuan's loss and said to himself.

"yes, okay." Qin Chuan's mood was still very low, and he didn't even feel very happy to hear the news he was looking forward to. The reason why Qin Chuan is like this is because in his heart, the blacksmith is like a relative, and he can express the saddest emotions in his heart without scruples.

The blacksmith handed the wine jar to Qin Chuan, sighed, and asked, "Take a sip?" ”

Qin Chuan shook his head, rejected the blacksmith's kindness, raised his head, tried to restrain himself from letting the tears in his eyes flow, and asked the blacksmith in a choked voice: "Uncle blacksmith, do you think I'm very annoying?" Are there a lot of people who don't want me to come into this world? ”

The blacksmith thought seriously for a while, took a sip of wine, and said to Qin Chuan: "This life is like striking iron, at the beginning it was just a stone, only after thousands of tempering can it really remove impurities and become a piece of fine iron, and then after continuous tempering, it can become a divine weapon." ”

"Uncle Blacksmith, I know what you said, but I just can't figure it out, I just feel a trace of grievance." Qin Chuan whispered aggrievedly.

"You still have a long way to go, and you still have to meet more people and encounter more things. It's a big world, and it's probably not a bad thing to get out and about. The blacksmith sat on the ground next to Qin Chuan and said while drinking.

"Uncle Blacksmith, do you want me to get out of here too?" Qin Chuan wiped the tears from his eyes and turned his head to look at the blacksmith next to him.

"The world is very big, and it will change a lot soon, go and see the outside world, take a walk outside the road, maybe you will find a different world." The blacksmith's words seemed to mean something.

Qin Chuan nodded, took the blacksmith's words to heart, and sat on the stone bench still feeling a little depressed.

The two of them sat on the stone bench like this, and one sat next to him drinking wine. After a long time, the sad look on Qin Chuan's face improved a little, turned his head to look at the sleepy-eyed blacksmith on the side, and said in a low voice: "Uncle blacksmith, I figured it out, thank you." ”

"Get out, don't say sensational words, I don't like to hear this, I'm out of wine, hurry up and buy wine." The blacksmith shook the wine jug in his hand, glanced at Qin Chuan, and said angrily.

"Okay." Qin Chuan took the wine jug, got up and ran towards the tavern not far away.

"It's not a good thing for a big kid to have such a heavy heart." The blacksmith watched Qin Chuan leave and muttered to himself.

In the tavern, the guy was still leaning against the corner of the wall and squinting and napping, the desk was messily placed, as if it had never been tidied up, an old man in gray linen sat cross-legged behind the desk, drinking wine cup by cup on this plate of bitter vegetables. Qin Chuan ran into the tavern with a wine jug and shouted loudly to the guy: "Shopkeeper, bring me a pot of the best Qin wine." ”

Hearing the familiar voice, the man rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Who was I at that time, it turned out to be a little blacksmith, why did I buy wine for your poor ghost master again?" With that, he reached out and took the flask and walked towards the back.

Qin Chuan ignored the jokes of the guy, and stood in place waiting for the guy to come back.

"Little friend, don't come unharmed?" An old man's voice came from behind Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan turned his head suspiciously, and when he saw the old man's face, he felt a little familiar. After hesitating for a moment, he turned to the old man and said, "Dare to ask the old gentleman if he was drunk and fell to the ground that day, and the old man who gave me jade?" ”

"Hahaha, Xiaoyou really has an extraordinary memory, seeing each other is fate, why don't you sit down and have a drink?" The old man raised the wine glass in his hand and looked at Qin Chuan with a smile.

Hearing the old man's affirmative answer, Qin Chuan was a little happy, after he and Wei Ying came to the tavern that day and got a piece of jade from the old man, Qin Chuan thought about inviting the old man to drink another pot of wine. But after many times to buy wine in the tavern did not see the old man's figure, after a long time to forget about the matter, today to see the old man, immediately happy.

"Old gentleman, the boy has been looking for Mr. for a long time and has not seen him, and if I see the old gentleman today, I must invite Mr. to drink a jar of Qin wine to thank the old gentleman for giving jade." After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he turned his head and shouted for the guy to bring another jar of Qin wine.

"Hahaha, just a piece of jade, it's not enough to worry about it, but Qin wine still has to be drunk." The old man squinted his eyes and smiled, as if he was very satisfied with Qin Chuan's approach.

The old man laughed, stretched out his hand to pull Qin Chuan down to his side, slapped Qin Chuan twice, and asked in surprise: "The kid's body is quite tough, not bad, not bad." ”

"Don't hide it from the old man, I have been working with the blacksmith uncle recently, although I have suffered a little, but my body is much stronger." Qin Chuan scratched his head a little embarrassed.

At this time, the guy carried two jars of wine and put them on the table, and said to Qin Chuan with a smile: "Guest officer, your wine is here." ”

Qin Chuan paid for the wine, picked up a jar of wine, pushed another jar of wine in front of the old man and said seriously: "This is the Qin wine that the kid invited the old gentleman to drink, please don't shirk the gentleman." ”

The old man shook his wine jug, and when he saw that the wine had been drunk, he did not refuse, so he opened the mud seal of the wine jar, and a unique aroma of Qin wine floated out of the wine jar.

"Sure enough, it is the most authentic Qin wine, and the old man is welcome." The old man poured a glass of wine from the jar. After drinking the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, the old man exclaimed, "Sure enough, it is authentic Qin wine, strong enough." ”

Listening to the old man's words, Qin Chuan laughed happily.

"The old man never owes people favors, this time I drank your wine, so I will give you a word?" The old man put down his wine glass and looked at Qin Chuan with a smile.

Qin Chuan repeatedly excused himself, saying that the old gentleman had already given him a jade pendant, and he must not ask for the old gentleman's things again.

"Haha, it's just one word, don't get in the way, don't get in the way." After speaking, he couldn't help but pull up Qin Chuan's right hand, dipped some wine in his fingers, and slowly wrote on Qin Chuan's little hand.

Qin Chuan knew this word, the Tao in the Dao, but he didn't understand the purpose of the old man writing this word in his hand, he looked up at the old man and asked suspiciously, "I don't know what the purpose of this word is?" ”

"Haha, don't say, don't say. You'll find out when the time comes. The old man said with some incomprehension.

"Phew, this old immortal is deceiving children in a trick." The guy leaned against the corner and muttered in a low voice.

The old man glanced at the man, did not speak, but drank there by himself.

Qin Chuan listened to the old man's words, and gave up the doubts in his heart, since the old man said that he would know later, then wait until later. After saluting and thanking the old man, he glanced at the sky, and after saying goodbye to the old man, he ran in the direction of the blacksmith shop with the wine jar.

After Qin Chuan left, the tavern suddenly became quiet, only the sound of the old man drinking and smashing his mouth and chewing when he ate food.

"Old man, are you doing this for fear that the old blind man will go crazy when the time comes?" The guy squinted and whispered.

"Heaven and earth are about to change, everyone is like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect themselves, is it a simple thing to want to transcend? I'm just unintentionally inserting willows, even if the old blind man knows, what can he do? The old man said nonchalantly as he drank his wine.

"Isn't it a conspiracy concocted by a few of you old men this time? Anyway, I'm a small family, and I can't withstand your wind and waves. The man pouted.

"Fifty avenues, forty-nine days, are all looking for the passing one, but who knows that the lost one is so easy to find?" The old man muttered to himself while drinking.

Hearing this, the man suddenly came to his senses, opened his eyes and looked at the direction where the old man was sitting, and asked with interest, "Did you find that one?" ”

"After stealing half a day's leisure and being full of wine and food, it's time to leave." The old man stood up tremblingly, picked up the unfinished half jar of wine on the table, left the tavern, and soon disappeared at the end of the road.

When the man saw the old man leave and closed his eyes again, a trace of disdain appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself: "Phew, a group of old immortals who are disrespectful to the old know all day long, and they don't feel tired." ”

Then, the guy suddenly had a spirit, stretched out his hand and slapped himself twice in the face, scolding himself that he was really in the water, and he actually scolded himself.

The next day, the news that Qin Chuan was about to leave spread throughout Yongcheng. The Qin people in Yongcheng didn't know who Qin Chuan was, but when they learned that Qin Chuan was the young hero who injured the demon of Ganfu, the simple and kind Qin people suddenly became indignant, and while accusing Ganfu of reversing right and wrong, they began to feel sad for what happened to Qin Chuan.

Gan Mansion, Gan Long sat on the chair, listening to the news reported by the subordinates, the old man's face became red, and a cold murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"No matter who you are, Qin Chuan's life, I will accept it." Gan Long said this sentence from his mouth almost word by word, and the people of Gan Mansion who knelt down felt the monstrous anger in the words.
