Cai Yan's thoughts, Liu Yi at this time had no way of knowing, after leaving Luoyang, he did not immediately turn back to the party, there is still one important thing to do on this trip, that is, to forge weapons for the two brothers, and also need to go to the west of the city twenty miles in the Tianji Valley to find the craftsman Xu Gang. Grandfather once said that this person has an extremely eccentric personality, but fortunately, the Liu family has the grace to ask for it, but Liu Yi is not surprised, but anyone who reaches the top in a field has to be a little tempered.

On the road, Liu Yi did not forget to repair the book and send it to Jianghaizhuang in Jingzhou, and now that he has a territory, he naturally wants his brothers to meet early and conspire with him! This day machine valley is not difficult to find, a line along the official road after twenty miles to the destination, both sides of the valley mouth are lush woods, the environment is very quiet, the Zhuangzi is built in the valley, a plaque on the gate, on the seal body book "Hundred Refining Villa"! Two muscular men stood in front of the door.

"This eldest brother, Liu Yi in the lower party, asks to see Master Xu Zhuang." Liu Yi stepped forward and said.

"The owner of my family is in retreat, and no outsiders are gone." The strong man on the left returned to the road, his expression was quite impatient, and he didn't know how many people he had dealt with when he heard his skillful words.

Someone in the family saw that this strong man was so rude to the young master, and even if he wanted to step forward and scold, Liu Yi hurriedly stopped him, and said in his heart that the temper of the master of Xu Zhuang was strange, even the person who guarded the door was like this, even the butler Zhao Zhe of Zhao Zhong's mansion had to accompany Lao Tzu with a smiling face, you can also show me a face? But after all, there is a request for others, how can you offend, and stepped forward and said with a smile:

"I am an old friend of the Liu family and the owner of Xu Zhuang in the party, this big brother can know when he goes in and spreads it, if the owner of Xu Zhuang does not remember the old friendship, Liu will turn around and leave, and he will never be entangled.

The big man looked at Liu Yi suspiciously, although this person was smiling, but there was an undoubted power in the words, it didn't seem to be a fake, he was also afraid that this person was really the owner of the village, so it was not easy to explain when he handed it over, and let everyone wait in front of the door at the moment, and he went into the village to spread the word, and after about half a pillar of incense, he turned back and asked Liu Yi and others to enter the village, at this time the words were already very polite, Liu Yi asked his family to wait at the door for a while, and only entered the village with Zhao Yun.

This villa is extremely vast, Liu Yi and Zhao Yun walked a few times under the leadership of the Han before coming to a mansion, the house is also very large, the strange thing is that there is almost no grass in the yard in front of the house, which forms a strong contrast with the lush woods outside the house, and there is also a heavy smell in the air, this smell Liu Yi seems to be familiar, but he can't remember what it is.

When they arrived at the door, the big man said, "The owner of the village is testing the fire in the house, so you will wait here." After saying that, he served tea to Liu Yi and them, and went straight away, ignoring the two of them.

Liu Yi had to wait outside the house, about a stick of incense time, I didn't see Xu Gang come out, waiting for the anxiety, suddenly there was a loud noise in the house, it seemed to be the sound of an explosion, only to see smoke billowing out of the house, both of them were shocked, and they didn't know what had happened.

As soon as I wanted to rush into the house, I saw the door of the house "bang" open, and rushed out of a person, the man was in rags, there were sparks on his clothes, his hair was tied together, he was unkempt in a bun, his face was black, he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and his figure was extremely tall. At this time, those Zhuang Ding didn't know where they all came from with buckets, and there were a few buckets of cold water in their heads, and their movements were very neat, and they all felt that they had been prepared in advance, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.

The man put down the fire on his body, and didn't take care of it, there was green smoke on his body, wiped his face slightly, and said to Liu Yi: "You are Liu Yi of the Liu family of the party?" ”

Liu Yi saw that this person was bold, and he didn't care about it like this, his face was black just now, but now he was washed by the water, and when he wiped it with his hand, it was even more black and white, which made people laugh when he looked at it. took a step forward at the moment and arched his hand: "This is Master Xu?" ”

"There is no master, I am Xu Gang, if you have something to say, I'm still busy." Xu Gang said impatiently, Liu Yuxin only mentioned that there was something to ask for, but he did not say it explicitly.

Liu Yi said in his heart that this Xu Gang is also a straight man, then I will not be polite to you, and said in the foreword: "Master Xu, I have heard for a long time that the master's forging skills are unparalleled in the world, and today I came to ask the owner of the village to build a blade for the next brother. ”

"Needless to say, I have read your grandfather's letter, and I really can't forget Xu's treasure, but the eldest husband is full of his word, and he should fulfill your wishes." Before Liu Yi finished speaking, Xu Gang had already interrupted, seeing that there seemed to be reluctance in his expression, but his tone was very firm.

"Then there will be the owner of Lao Xu, and my brother will be grateful." Seeing Xu Gang agree, Liu Yi was overjoyed, he didn't know what the relationship between his grandfather and Xu Gang was, so he naturally wanted to thank him again.

"Don't mention this, I will do what I say, otherwise you will bring Jinshan here, Xu will not care about it, come with me." Although Xu Gang seems to be unkind, he is also quite heroic.

The two hurriedly followed Xu Gang's footsteps into a wing room on the right, Xu Gang did not entertain the two, and only after entering alone for a long time did he take out a large package and put it on the ground, and when he landed, there was a sound, obviously it was an extremely heavy thing, and it was only at this time that Liu Yi had the opportunity to introduce Zhao Yun to him, and Xu Gang just nodded slightly to say hello.

"Jiaping was born in the Western Regions, so he lowered this piece of strange iron, for a Hu businessman's income, came here to ask me to forge, at that time it was said that as long as a blade of the remaining materials is the reward, I pondered the rest of the month to get the method of forging, refining a seven-star treasure knife, sharpening iron like mud, extremely sharp. Your grandfather was kind to me back then, and I promised to do one thing for him, and I will repay it today! Xu Gang opened the package and stroked the black meteorite and said, his movements were extremely gentle, as if he was very emotional.

"Seven Star Treasure Sword? Isn't it Cao Cao's stabbing of Dong Zhuo? Isn't the original owner Wang Yun? I think it was Wang Yun who got it from this Hu merchant. Liu Yi's heart moved when he heard this, this knife has a great background, but he didn't expect it to come from the hand of Xu Gang.

"Do you want to build a blade?" Xu Gang stroked it for a moment and then asked again.

This Liu Yi has long been ready, speaking of which, he is changing history with what he knows, after learning that Xu Gang has a meteorite iron in his hand to cast a blade, Liu Yi was at home, he drew a pattern of the white dragon bright silver spear and the purple shark broken wave knife, at that time and Zhao Yun looked carefully, and told the name of these blades, Zilong was very satisfied with the style of this blade, Liu Yi naturally will not forget Gan Ning, because his weapon in the later generations seems to have no conclusive pattern circulation, Liu Yi added a lot of his own imagination, now I hear Xu Gang want, Liu Yi immediately took it out of his arms and handed it over.

"Who drew this pattern?" Xu Gang took it and looked at it, and suddenly asked with a different face.

"It's just down there." Liu Yi said proudly.

"Look at you, you don't have to study the blade at a young age, if the blade made according to this picture is really not seen in this dynasty. Not only is it extremely practical, but there are many innovations, and Xu has never seen this kind of design, wonderful, wonderful. Xu Gang was amazed.

"Where is there any research? When I was practicing martial arts, I was particularly interested in blades, and I don't know when the owner of the village can cast? Liu Yi secretly said Where did I get any research, but I just remember a few pictures of the later generations, and the drawings of the blades of the later generations also incorporated many weapon styles of the Tang and Song dynasties, which are naturally much more advanced than the weapons of the Later Han Dynasty, and smiled modestly at the moment.

"It's getting late today, and I still need to study your blade in detail, so I tentatively arrange for you to rest tomorrow morning, and don't break into my villa at night." Xu Gang heard the words and looked at the blade style carefully, once it came to the director, he was extremely focused, seeing Liu Yi and Zhao Yun nodded secretly, Xu Gang only spoke after a while, and after speaking, he went out without greeting the two, Liu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, this person's words and deeds are indeed quirks, but fortunately, he has real talent and learning, but it is worth the trip.
