Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Valley of Lost Souls
The crying hand who passed the first level of the assessment hit the second level: the blacksmith.
There is a valley of ecstasy in the primeval forest of light bamboo, where a huge oven is built for blacksmiths to make iron and forge weapons. Each blacksmith had to cut wood and burn charcoal, take stones to make iron, and forge a weapon for killing: bamboo leaves.
The owners of the happy door allow blacksmiths to help each other, but the blacksmiths are afraid of affecting their own results, so they are all self-sweeping in front of the door, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others, because they are eliminated, they need to cry back, and then experience a heart-rending cry, they basically shed tears, can no longer cry a drop of blood, waiting for their fate is to be someone else's live target.
Although the Valley of Lost Souls is full of natural iron ore, the iron ore closer to the oven has been divided into prisons by quick-eyed blacksmiths, and they have been moved to their own blacksmith shops first.
It was hard for the blind blacksmith who was half a cut slower than the others to build the blacksmith's shop, and by the time she had worked so hard to finish it, the nearby iron ore was gone. And that's not all, the surrounding trees that can be used to burn charcoal have also been cut down by blacksmiths and left bare.
The first male blacksmith who passed through the weeping hand pass prepared enough iron ore and firewood, and turned back to help the female blacksmith prepare materials, and found that the situation was quite not optimistic: there was no iron ore to mine and no trees to cut down in the downstream of Lost Soul Valley, so it was necessary to carry and cut down the waterfall upstream on the back. Time was too fast to ponder, and the two blacksmiths got up early in the morning and risked their lives to transport iron ore and trees from the back of the waterfall to the bottom. The male blacksmith picks the mine and cuts the wood, and puts it on top one by one, one by one, and the female blacksmith picks it one by one, one by one, and picks it up one by one.
The weather was not beautiful, there was a heavy rain in the middle, the two had to interrupt the transportation of materials, anxious to wait for the weather, this rain is several days, finally see the sun, the day of ironmaking is approaching, the blacksmith is not allowed to pile up materials in the blacksmith shop.
After the master taught each blacksmith the process of smelting iron at low temperature, each blacksmith was given a pitiful amount of food. To start making iron, each blacksmith must smelt enough heavy iron, otherwise, they will need to exchange food for the extra iron of the other blacksmiths.
The male blacksmith first smelted enough iron, and the excess was given to the female blacksmith, but the female blacksmith lacked iron ore, and no matter how much she helped, she could not reach the required weight.
The blacksmith took out the food he had saved from between his teeth and exchanged it with the other blacksmiths, barely enough to make up the amount of iron for the female blacksmith.
Forge weapons for a few days, and the male blacksmith spends the day on an empty stomach. The female blacksmith distributed food to the male blacksmith, and the male blacksmith did not want the female blacksmith to starve, so he secretly sent the food back, and then hid in the depths of the Lost Soul Valley, hungry to eat wild fruits, thirsty to drink water, and waiting for the day of forging weapons.
When the day of forging weapons came, each blacksmith also received a pitiful piece of food, and the master of the door required each blacksmith to forge fifty short knives, and the length, width, flattening, and sharp dimensions of each short knife were fixed to death, and they were not allowed to be exceeded, and the short knives that exceeded the error were returned to the furnace. For example, if the last blacksmith cannot forge fifty good short knives, he will become a living target.
Similarly, food can be circulated, exchanged for qualified short knives.
This time, the blacksmith did her a great favor by being blind in one eye, focusing on one eye, striking accurately, hammering, quenching, and tempering just right, and the blacksmith completed the task early, and the extra short knife was exchanged for a lot of food. Once again, she and the blacksmith who had reached the standard hid in the depths of the Valley of Lost Souls to pass the time.
With enough food, there should have been no need to pick wild fruits, but this time they stole forbidden fruits. Lonely men and widows, alone in the mountains, coupled with mutual love and gratitude, and physical longing, they can no longer control their primitive desires, leaving aside the rules of happiness, madly entangled together, hysterically happy.
Walking back to the blacksmith shop, their eyes quietly changed, and there was a bit of ambiguity in the air, all of which were seen by the door owner.
After forging weapons, the blacksmiths made the handle of the knife according to the instructions of the master, and the handle was taken from the blood-stained bamboo in the first pass. At first glance, there is no uglier weapon in the world than a short knife with a bamboo handle, but the owner of the door has given it a terrible name: "Bamboo Leaf Green"
Introductory Level 3: Remove the title of blacksmith and become a swordsman. According to the different physical characteristics of each swordsman, the master of the door creates different knife techniques, and these knife techniques are summarized into the Happy Gate Sword Sect.
After the swordsman is proficient in the sword sect, he uses the live target to practice, and the Lost Soul Valley is used as a training ground. Each knife player is only equipped with a live target, the live target is hidden within the specified range, if you can dodge the knifeman's fatal blow without a wound, the live target will be promoted to a blacksmith, if injured, heal the injury and continue to be a live target, only blame yourself for the first level to retreat.
Each swordsman needs to determine the location of the precise attack in advance, due to the shortage of live targets, can not be replenished, each swordsman only has one chance, a hit misses or kills the live target, and loses the qualification of the swordsman. The swordsman who misses a single blow is reduced to a blacksmith, and the swordsman who kills a live target is reduced to a cryer.
The blind female swordsman and the male swordsman who had a crush on her coincidentally chose the same part: the hair of the live target. It's a fantastic choice, hit the target, the live target loses a few hairs at most, but without a wound, and according to the rules, the live target becomes a blacksmith. If they missed, they would be reduced to blacksmiths at most.
With love, the targets they chose to hit were also quite loving.
The original intention of the master of the happy door to name the bamboo handle short knife "Bamboo Leaf Green" is that the knife guest is like a cold-blooded animal, with no tears, no feelings, and no love. The door master saw that the male and female swordsmen had love in their hearts, and with love, they had violated the killer rules. Because the large-scale assassination has not yet been carried out, the master of the gate has temporarily shelved the heavens in the cabinet.
The pair of male and female swordsmen came out of the country without accident, and the two orphans who were their living targets were promoted to blacksmiths, one of whom was still a child, and later became a tea master.
The master of the gate gave a task to all the swordsmen who came out of the customs: "Use your sword to kill the enemy you want to kill the most, even if your enemy hides to the ends of the earth, kill him." ”
All the swordsmen who went out of the customs left the happy door with expressionless faces, and all returned to the village where they were born without exception, and the guests all killed the head of the people who fought with the victims for a "piece of the pie" of the court and caused their families to be ruined.
The swordsmen who complete the quest return to the Valley of the Lost Soul, and they enjoy the right to adopt apprentices, and the more apprentices, the more food they get.
Two blacksmiths volunteered to join the male and female swordsmen, and they had been the living targets of the male and female swordsmen, and the young man became the apprentices of the male and female swordsmen.
Time flies, the belly of the female swordsman gradually grows, and the paper can't hold the fire, which touches the spirit of all the swordsmen of the Happy Gate, and the Happy Gate decides to enforce the heavenly rules against them.
Unfortunately, the owner of the door suffered from a cold, and the matter dragged on.
When the master of the door was dying, he suddenly had a kind heart and ordered the deacon to spare the male and female swordsmen and women from death and expel them from the division as a punishment.
At that time, Happy Gate killed a group of local corrupt officials who were deeply sinful. The official traced that it was the Happy Gate that was done, so the Happy Gate swordsman was wanted everywhere.
The expulsion of male and female swordsmen from the division is tantamount to pushing them to the forefront, and they may overturn at any time. The more dangerous the place, the safer, and they ventured to the outskirts of Chang'an, incognito, and settled down.
After the death of the master of the Happy Gate, the killing target of the swordsman is no longer single, as long as he gives money, he can kill any kind of person. Whether it's a heinous robber or a defenseless innocent person.
The official sent a powerful force to go straight to the Valley of Lost Souls. The terrain of the Lost Soul Valley is complex, and the bamboo forest is full of real poisonous snakes Zhu Yeqing, and the officers and soldiers who are not familiar with the place have not arrived in the Lost Soul Valley, and they have been killed by poisonous snakes. The officers and men were terrified and stopped in the primeval forest.
The official sent heavy troops to surround the residences of the male and female swordsmen, and the male and female swordsmen knew that they could not escape their doom, begged the officers and soldiers to spare their infant sons, and then committed suicide by biting off the root of their tongues.
The infant son was adopted by a family in Nanzhuang, a family with an astonishing background, and when the sons of male and female swordsmen became sensible, the family taught the son of a swordsman to gallop a horse and test his sword, dance with a gun and a stick, and strive to train him to be a special dead soldier.
