Section 9 The First Encounter

Out of the Hou Mansion, Duan Lang seemed to walk aimlessly on the streets, looking at this and that for a while, feeling that everything was very fresh. This Duan Lang is not pretending, he does feel very novel.

However, Duan Lang didn't have the heart to appreciate these things, Da Fei in the air was giving him directions. Duan Lang was going to hire a carriage and pull him to find a place for Da Fei's guidance.

Duan Lang looked left and right, and while waiting for the carriage, he casually picked up a bronze mirror from the roadside stall. Duan Lang looked back, the corners of his mouth curved into an arc, and he said in his heart that even wolves can't keep an eye on Lao Tzu, let alone a mere person. Duan Lang suddenly changed his mind, and continued to stop and look at the shops on both sides of the road, unconsciously moving away from the Hou Mansion.

Duan Lang came to the door of a very ordinary soup spring pool, smiled slightly, turned around and walked in. The guy who was following behind was dumbfounded, there were people coming and going, all of them were here to take a bath, and they couldn't run here to keep an eye on it. What's more, there are large pools, small pools, and private rooms, who knows what standard this Lang wants. Simply, the guard waited for Duan Lang to come out in the teahouse opposite.

After a while, at the back door of Tangquan Pool, Duan Lang walked out cautiously. As soon as he went out, Duan Lang beckoned a very ordinary hired car.

"Guest, where are you going?" The rickshaw driver asked politely.

"Let's go, follow the main road to the east, and I'll tell you where I go." Duan Lang said, looking up at Da Fei soaring in the air.

Duan Lang was wearing clothes given by the prince, and his gorgeous appearance made the coachman dare not ask more. Seeing Duan Lang get into the car, the coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage ran forward. Duan Lang kept guiding the direction according to Da Fei's chirp, and the coachman was almost confused, and Duan Lang finally got to the place.

After paying the silver taels, Duan Lang cautiously looked around to make sure that there was no tail, and then walked towards the intersection in front. According to the chirps of the big flying in the air, the place marked by the Shadow Rider should be at this intersection.

When Duan Lang came to the intersection and observed, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, the location that Da Fei was pointing to was actually a blacksmith shed. There is a sign of striking iron hanging on the tree next to it, and the place where the iron sheet is wrapped under the signboard seems to have been inadvertently cut out of a triangle by an axe. In the middle of the triangle, a trace passes through the middle, as if the triangle is separated.

"That's right, it's the mark of the Shadower. However, this ~! ”

Duan Lang looked at the blacksmith shed and couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Because there was no one else in the blacksmith's shed, only an old blacksmith with a broken leg and a scarred face.

"Am I mistaken? This old guy is getting old, how can he be a shadowman? ”

Duan Lang's heart was full of doubts, but he still decided to give it a try to see if the other party could take his incision. Anyway, being able to connect with the shadow artist founded by his grandfather is a hope that has been pressed in Duan Lang's heart for several years.

Duan Lang didn't go directly to the blacksmith shed, but walked to a tea stall on the side of the road.

"Old man, come to a bowl of strong tea." Duan Lang said, throwing down the two pennies.

Taking the big bowl of tea, Duan Lang continued to ask, "Old man, how long have you been here?" ”

"It's been a few years, and my body and bones can't go to the ground, so I can only set up a tea stall and mix dry food." The old man at the tea stall said with a sigh.

"The blacksmith in the east is also a few years old, isn't it?" Duan Lang pointed and asked.

"Blacksmith Hu, he was late, the blacksmith shed that he built at the head of four years. The blacksmith is not easy, and he is lonely and has a broken leg. In these years, it is not easy for us to live, and we have to rely on kind-hearted people like you to take care of us. ”

When Duan Lang heard this, he nodded silently. If the blacksmith is really a shadow and can make iron here for four years, he should not be a traitor among the shadow masters. The true apostate is afraid that he has long enjoyed the glory and riches, and who will come here to suffer for four years.

After drinking the tea, Duan Lang got up and walked to the blacksmith shed. The old blacksmith lowered his head and banged, feeling that someone was coming in, and the old blacksmith asked hoarsely without raising his head.

"What do you want to buy, farm tools or utensils?"

"Old man, I want to build an axe. However, I have a requirement, it must be three pounds and three pounds, not more, not less. After Duan Lang finished speaking, he stared at the old blacksmith calmly.

The old blacksmith's hammer paused slightly, and he continued to beat and said, "As long as you give the silver, you can." ”

"Old man, I still have to depict the last full moon on my axe?"

The hammer in the old blacksmith's hand stopped in the air, and a terrifying face with scars met Duan Lang's eyes. The old blacksmith looked at Duan Lang, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

"Young man, the old man can't carve, the old man was not a blacksmith, he used to be a businessman." The old blacksmith looked at Duan Lang and said.

Duan Lang showed a hint of excitement, "If you are still a businessman, I will buy three catties and three taels of cakes, and the full moon will also be engraved on them." ”

"Then~ under the full moon, do you want to engrave the good wealth boy?" The old man stared at Duan Lang with sharp eyes.

"Yes, not only to be a good wealth boy, but also to portray the shadow of a good wealth boy."

"The Rich Boy is not a mortal, he is everywhere and has no shadow. Those who have shadows are mortals, and shadows will always follow mortals and never abandon them. Young man, do you want to be a good money boy or a mortal? ”

"I ~ just want to be a shadow that never leaves."

Hearing the old man's incision, Duan Lang looked around and bowed slightly excitedly.

"Junior Duan Lang, I have seen the shadow senior."

"You're also a Shadower? Wait, you just ~ what did you just say your name was? The old man looked at Duan Lang excitedly.

"Junior, Duan Lang, I don't know what to call the senior~

"You~ your surname is Duan? How many boats do you step on, and how many incense sticks do you have on your head? The old blacksmith shuddered slightly, and the hammer in his hand fell to the ground.

You can have any surname in the Shadow Gate, but there is only one surname Duan. The young man in front of him said that the shadow incision, and actually said that his surname was Duan, and the old blacksmith was both shocked and puzzled.

Duan Lang hugged his fists, "Step on three boats under your feet, and four incense sticks on your head." ”

Duan Lang told the old man that he was the third generation in the Duan family, and his father Duan Wutao was the fourth. Because it was a shadow founded by his grandfather Duan Tianya, it was counted from his generation.

"You~ You are the child of the fourth young master Wu Tao? No, you're not, you can't fool the old man if you can deceive others. ”

As he spoke, the old blacksmith's gaze suddenly became hideous, and he pulled out a large red-hot iron scissors from the stove.

"Tell me, which old dog sent you? The old man has been incognito for sixteen years, but he didn't expect to be found by you. It seems that you all thought that after so many years, the old man would not kill anyone. ”

Duan Lang was stunned for a moment, "Old man, my real surname is Duan, my grandfather is Duan Tianya, and my father is Duan Wutao." Duan Lang saw that the old man was about to make a move, and hurriedly said.

"Phew! The name of the Shadow Lord of the End of the World is also your name. When the old man personally escorted the young master to Xining, a child of the Duan family appeared somewhere. Dog thing, go die~! ”

Although the old man had disabled legs and feet, his body was quite agile, and with a kick on one leg, he flashed towards Duan Lang like a ghost. The red iron scissors in the old man's hand did not hesitate to cut Duan Lang's throat.

Duan Lang didn't think that this old guy with disabled legs and feet was so agile that even the leopards in the mountains and forests were much worse than him. Duan Lang was defenseless after all, and it was too late to retreat. In a hurry, Duan Lang stretched out his hand and touched it, revealing something.

"Senior, stop, look at what this is."

Duan Lang originally wanted to take out the Shadow Order to prove his life experience, but when Fang Yan was leaving, he specially asked for it. Unexpectedly, Duan Lang took the wrong one in a panic, and actually took out the entry and exit token of the Xining Hou Mansion.

The old blacksmith was also stunned by Duan Lang and stopped attacking. When he saw the word 'Hou Mansion' written on the token in Duan Lang's hand, the old blacksmith was immediately furious, as if he had been tricked.

"It turned out to be a lackey sent by Bai Ruokong, it seems that you Xining Marquis Mansion also participated a lot in the events of the past. Die, and the old man will send you to hell. Your head will be hung high above the gate of the Marquis Mansion in Xining. ”

"Ah~No~ You always stop. I took it wrong, stop~~! It's this one! Duan Lang realized that he had taken it wrong, so he was so frightened that he quickly reached into his arms and groped for the Shadow Order.

The old blacksmith didn't listen at all, he had just been teased once, and he was going to come a second time, and the red iron scissors were cut off with a click. Duan Lang's body twisted, and he finally dodged the blow. However, before Duan Lang's body could be adjusted, the iron scissors cut at him again. This time, Duan Lang couldn't dodge it no matter what.

"The Shadow Order is here, stop!"

Duan Lang simply closed his eyes and stretched out his arms!
