Volume 1 Don't Look Back Chapter 19 Little Things (II)
The speed of the rumor spread quickly, but the speed of disappearance was also very fast, but after the rumor, there were a few more hastily piled graves outside Yongcheng City. Since then, no one has dared to discuss the matter publicly, but only discussed it in private, and the topic was quickly stopped.
For such a situation to occur, it was naturally Gan Long who ordered the people below to do it, which shows that the Gan family's control over Yongcheng should not be underestimated.
However, these naturally did not affect Qin Chuan, as for these rumors, they naturally heard from the blacksmith, and just by listening to them, they were attracted all the attention of the long sword that was about to take shape.
The whole body of the long sword was red, and the hammer smashed on the sword, making a crisp sound, and the blacksmith held the long sword with iron tongs and put it into the cold water on the side, and suddenly a burst of white smoke came out of it.
It's done, Qin Chuan's eyes showed a look of excitement.
After the sword body was cold, the blacksmith gently stroked the long sword, nodded, and handed the long sword to Qin Chuan, with a tired look in his eyes.
Holding the long sword in his hand, there was a gentle feeling on the sword, Qin Chuan was surprised for a while, and then learned the movements of the blacksmith and began to gently caress the sword body, when his fingers touched the tip of the sword, he suddenly felt a pain in his fingers, and a drop of blood flowed out of his fingers.
"It's so sharp?" Qin Chuan said in disbelief.
"How, is it worth a gold?" The blacksmith asked with a smile.
"It's worth it, it's worth it." Qin Chuan hurriedly nodded.
Ignoring the pain on his fingers, Qin Chuan couldn't put it down, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, as he continued to stroke the sword body, the blood on his fingers also smeared on the sword body with Qin Chuan's movements, for these, Qin Chuan didn't care at all.
Just as Qin Chuan stroked the sword body and smirked, the blacksmith dodged Qin Chuan's long sword, and his face became a little solemn.
Qin Chuan only felt that his hand was empty, and the long sword was in the blacksmith's hand, and there was a feeling of emptiness in his heart, and he saw the blacksmith's solemn expression just when he wanted to ask.
"Although this sword has been built for you, the ferocity of this sword is too heavy, and if you carry it for a long time, I am afraid that it will affect your body, so it needs to be modified a little to cover up the ferocity of this sword a little. Just remember that when your strength has not grown, don't use this sword to kill, otherwise, you will completely become a murderer controlled by the sword. The blacksmith said to Qin Chuan with a solemn face.
Looking at the blacksmith's serious expression, Qin Chuan nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Okay, tomorrow is estimated to be able to be transformed in one day, just to help you build the hilt and scabbard, and come to me early the day after tomorrow before you go out of the city, take this sword." The blacksmith put the long sword aside and said to Qin Chuan.
"Got it, Uncle Blacksmith." Qin Chuan said with a happy face.
"Uncle Blacksmith, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, can you tell me your name, I don't even know what your name is?" Qin Chuan looked at the blacksmith and asked seriously.
"Little brat, where did you get so many things, my name is Iron Bull. Hurry up and get out, remember to come early the day after tomorrow. The blacksmith casually told Qin Chuan.
"Uncle Tie Niu, you really didn't have a wife? The ...... next door Qin Chuan wanted to continue, when he heard the sound of the hammer being thrown on the ground, and when he looked up, he saw the blacksmith looking at him with an unkind face.
"Ahh That one... Uncle Tie Niu, I'm leaving..."Before he finished speaking, Qin Chuan ran out of the shop.
"Little bunny, you stop me, the joke is on me, see if I don't clean you up." The blacksmith chased to the door of the shop, but at this time, Qin Chuan's figure had already disappeared around the corner of the street.
"Stinky boy, it's still not honest. Well, when this happens, it's time for me to hit the road. The blacksmith stood at the door for a moment, then took up the hammer again, and began to pound, and from time to time he took out some strange bottle, and poured its contents on the sword.
When the night came, Qin Chuan did not feel sleepy at all, and walked slowly along the courtyard of the Guogong Mansion, and in the three years he was here, he was very familiar with everything here, and he could even walk along the wall with his eyes closed. He walked very slowly today, as if he wanted to vent his reluctance in this way.
When Qin Chuan walked to the Taimiao, he subconsciously looked up and saw the familiar figure at the Taimiao Gate, holding a broom, sweeping the dust in front of the countertop.
"Grandpa, grandpa." Qin Chuan happily ran in the direction of the old man.
The old man also seemed to hear Qin Chuan's shout, stopped the movement in his hand, slowly walked to the steps, put the broom in his hand on the ground, and sat on the steps.
"Grandpa, why are you here? If you're a few days late, you probably won't be able to see me. Qin Chuan stood in front of the old man and said panting.
"Don't be in a hurry, take a breath first, sit down and talk slowly." The old man swept the dust from the floor with his sleeve, pointed to the steps beside him, and said.
Qin Chuan calmed down the excitement in his heart, and then sat down on the steps. Suddenly thinking of something, he said to the old man with some embarrassment: "Grandpa, that... There's no wine or mutton today. You don't blame me. ”
"No blame, no blame." The old man's empty eyes glanced at Qin Chuan, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Grandpa, where have you been during this time? Why don't you come here? Qin Chuan turned his head to look at the old man and asked the question in his heart.
"I'm busy repairing the house these days, the house is a little old, and there will be a lot of people coming after a while, and something will happen if I don't repair it." The old man replied unhurriedly.
Although he didn't understand what the relationship between the large number of people and the old house was, Qin Chuan still nodded as if he didn't understand.
"You're leaving?" The blind old man thought for a moment and asked.
"Hmm. The morning after tomorrow. ”
"Good walk, good walk."
The blind old man's words made Qin Chuan stunned for a while, he thought that the old man would feel injustice for him, and he should at least comfort himself a few words. But I didn't expect that even the blind old man said this, as if everyone wanted to go out on their own.
"Grandpa, why is that? Why does everyone want me to go out? Qin Chuan asked the doubts in his heart.
"Oh? Who wants you to go out? The blind old man turned his head and looked at Qin Chuan with interest.
"Uncle Blacksmith, old drunkard." Qin Chuan thought for a while, and then told the blind old man.
Hearing Qin Chuan's words, the old man fell into deep thought, and one hand quickly pinched where Qin Chuan couldn't see. After a while, he sneered, looked at Qin Chuan with empty eyes, and said in a low voice: "Don't get in the way, do you want to go out, if you don't want to leave here, I will let out my old face and let the monarch take back this order." ”
Hearing the blind old man's words, Qin Chuan was indeed a little moved, but he quickly gave up this idea, shrugged his shoulders, and replied in an indifferent tone: "Forget it, since they all want me to go out and have a look, then I'll go out and take a look at the world." Don't bother the old man. ”
Why is that? Don't you want to stay in Yongcheng? The old man asked suspiciously.
"Yongcheng is too small after all, I will always leave here one day, since I have to leave sooner or later, what is the difference between leaving early and leaving late? Besides, I really want to see the world and see the beauty of this world. Meet more people and see more scenery. Qin Chuan said what was in his heart.
The old man nodded, hesitated for a moment, his face became solemn, and he said to Qin Chuan word by word: "If you want, I can make you the monarch of the Qin State, how about it?" ”
"Haha, grandpa, are you kidding, the monarch of the Qin State can't take my turn, and besides, how tired it is to be the monarch, I still eat and drink, and be a carefree son." Qin Chuan said with a laugh.
Regardless of the coldness of the floor, Qin Chuan still lay back on the stone slab as usual, with his head resting on his hands, looking at the stars in the dark night sky, and said to himself: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, the world is so big, how can I take care of others; Establish a life for the people, there are so many sentient beings, people's hearts are unpredictable, I can't even protect myself, how can I control others; For the sake of the saints, how can I peep into the learning of the saints? For the sake of peace for all generations, I have an illegitimate child, how to come to the dynasty, it is just a young ignorant and untrustworthy. ”
When the old man heard these words, he looked at Qin Chuan with those empty eyes.
"I have a sword, named Chiyan, which goes to heaven and earth, and flies the head of the enemy with a flying sword... I'm a sword immortal, a great sword immortal... Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles... Edgeworth is thousands of miles in the air, one more than me, two more... The three-foot sword in the box behind his back is a sign of injustice for the sky......" Qin Chuan closed his eyes and babbled nonsense, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
A cold wind blew, but the old man was unmoved, still looking at Qin Chuan, but after a while, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"What a young sword immortal, a good person who is unjust for the sky. Old man, look at how you are acting for the sky and showing injustice. The old man laughed and said, spreading out his hand, and a white ball of light kept beating on the old man's palm.
"Go ahead, follow him and he won't bury you." After speaking, with a gentle blow, a white light cluster floated towards Qin Chuan's body from the palm of the blind old man's hand, and soon disappeared.
The old man stood up, waved his sleeves, Qin Chuan's body disappeared, the twilight aura on his body was swept away, and a fierce momentum rose to the sky, and then his hands were put behind his back, his sleeves shook slightly, he scanned the surroundings with those empty eyes, and said loudly: "Heaven and earth will change, I will protect the Tao and uphold the will of heaven and earth, and will reopen the heaven and earth chessboard in two days, please enter the game." ”
After the blind old man finished speaking, he just stood on the steps, and the strange thing was that there was no one around, but he still heard one after another answering voices around him.
When no more sound came, the blind old man nodded, and his body suddenly disappeared in place.
Late at night, a gust of cold wind blew, making a whistling sound, and in the hut, Qin Chuan curled up and reached out to cover the quilt on his body.
