Chapter 221: It's not a good thing
Seeing this, he immediately followed the proprietress out of the inner room, and then left quickly.
Because when the first light of dawn penetrated the darkness, the left alley was no longer the left alley that I saw just now, and it was already full of people.
"Sister Lige, was this old gentleman a carpenter just now?" As soon as the "icing on the cake" came out, Fence immediately asked curiously.
"Well, this old master's surname is Wan, he is a famous carpenter in Southern Chu, and he once worked in the carpentry workshop of the palace, and it is said that most of the things of the former emperor came from his hands. Another Master Cheng is even more powerful, he is the most famous weapon master in Southern Chu, and the current emperor has given him the plaque of "No. 1 in the world". โ
"A master of weapon making?" As soon as he heard this, his eyes lit up, "Can any weapon be made?" โ
Her dagger was gone, and now it had its scabbard. So I've been trying every possible way to get the knife back, even if I can't find it, I want to find a similar one.
The joy in the girl's eyes was even more red than the morning sun that had just emerged, and she was immediately infected with Lige, and she couldn't help but be curious, "Why, Ah Li Gongzi also wants weapons." โ
In her mind, her unarmed weapons didn't seem to be of much use.
"Hmmยทยทยทยทยทยท When you go out, you always have something to defend yourself for. Now she has nothing, except for the medicinal powder given by Lan Xin, there are only two legs left.
"Alright, then I'll take you there now." Because Lige felt that what she said made sense, after all, it is better to be out of the house than nothing. And if you don't have the kung fu now, you may not be able to do it in the future, so it's better to let Master Cheng build one for him today.
Thinking so, she immediately pulled her back.
After walking for a long time, when the stomach was rumbling and not yet arrived, the fence couldn't help but ask.
"Sister Lige, isn't that Master Cheng's shop in the left lane?"
She noticed what seemed to be an exit, and saw the mountain behind the house and the stream flowing down from it. I even saw many villagers under the mountain carrying water from the mountain to cook.
"Master Cheng's shop is relatively remote, and it is at the end of the left alley." Seeing her puzzled, Lige couldn't help but tease, "Why are you afraid that Sister Lige will sell you?" โ
"How can it?" Fence Luo smiled and said, "Just curious why it is in such a remote place?" โ
As she spoke, she quietly touched her stomach.
"What, hungry?" The girl's movements did not escape Lige's eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked and smiled, "It's coming soon, bear with me." โ
Sure enough, after turning two alleys, they stopped in front of a shop called "No. 1 in the World".
"Boss, please." As soon as the guys in the shop saw her, they immediately led them in.
As soon as he stepped into the store, he was stunned.
She wasn't surprised by the number of people inside, but by what was inside.
What swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, anyway, there are eighteen kinds of weapons, and there are even many that I have never even seen.
In particular, some bronze swords hung an entire wall, making her eyes fall off.
Fence looked all the way over, and finally saw a place dedicated to placing short knives.
"What, want a dagger?" Seeing that she had been standing at the short knife and watching for a long time, Lige couldn't help but ask.
"There's nothing I want." These daggers looked good, but they were very different from the ones she had before.
"What do you want?" Lige is curious.
After all, the things in Master Cheng's store should be the most complete, and I am afraid that I can't find a second one in Nanchu.
"I used to have a dagger, but all I have is a scabbard." Fence Luo looked regretful, "It doesn't seem to be suitable here." โ
"Let's go, then I'll take you to meet Master Cheng. He might as well build one just for you. I couldn't bear to see her lost, so I grabbed her and went inside.
So the two walked through a door, through a room, and through another door, and came to the backyard.
The backyard is huge, built right at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, there are many people in the courtyard who are forging swords, and they are all in full swing. In particular, the sound of "dong dong dong" striking iron combined with the shouting in their mouths was deafening, and it was very lively.
But none of this surprised Fence, what really attracted her was a pool in the yard.
There was water in the pool, and the water actually flowed in from the mountain outside the gate.
The pool was half a man's height, and at the moment water was flowing out of the numerous holes, and was pouring it into a small pool full of swords outside.
The swords glowed coldly under the water, especially in the light of the light, which was amazing.
"The most important part of sword casting is to have good water to irrigate, and the mountains and rivers of Zecheng are undoubtedly one of the best water in Southern Chu." As she kept staring at the pond, an old voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
She immediately looked up and saw that it was an old man with gray hair.
"Why? It stands to reason that sword casting should rely on fire, but what does it have to do with water? "The fence is puzzled.
"The little brother seems to be a layman." As soon as the old man heard this, he hurriedly picked up a sword in the pool and said, "You see that this sword is like encountering water, and there is no such transparent cold light. After all, the sword qi is forged by the aura of heaven and earth, and no matter which link makes a slight mistake, it may not be able to create a good sword. And there are really few really rare good swords in the world, and even the swords that the old man has built all his life cannot be regarded as the best. โ
As he spoke, the old man sighed.
"Cheng Lao is really modest, the things you make are all treasures in the world, and some people even go to great lengths to customize them for you!" Seeing that the two of them were chatting, Lige hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Ah Li, this is the old Mr. Cheng I told you." โ
"Hello old man!" When the fence heard this, he immediately shook his head deeply.
Because she didn't expect Master Cheng to be an old man in his seventies. I have the impression that the people who build weapons should be some strong men.
"The old man is old, and he can't make anything good anymore." As he spoke, the old man glanced at Lige and turned around and went to the house in the backyard.
At that glance, he seemed to know what she was coming from, and there was a lot of unhappiness in his eyes.
Lige stuck out his tongue, with an expression that he knew he would say this, and followed the old man indoors.
Curious, Fence immediately followed.
"Is your ancestor well?" As soon as the old man entered the room, he immediately sat down at the table and drank tea.
"Okay! Fishing and drinking tea every day, what about you and Old Man Wan? Lige stood aside and didn't dare to sit down, looking respectful.
She knew his temper, which seemed casual but was actually very disciplined. On the contrary, it is Master Wan, who seems to be extremely disciplined, but in fact he is a very amiable person.
"He'll be talking about me, and he'll be fine with me." The old man said with a disgusted face, "I must be talking bad about me all day long!" โ
"How can it! You are a person who has been in the rivers and lakes with your ancestors since childhood, and he often says that you are the most righteous person in the world! โ
"Hmph, come less. I don't know what kind of bad blank he is, if it weren't for his empty gloves white wolf back then, he tied me and Lao Wan into his calculations, and we wouldn't have to be cattle and horses for him all our lives, which is really hateful. The old man blew his beard and glared, looking like he was eager to find him alone.
But there was a lot of emotion in his eyes, and his eyes were slightly wet.
