Volume 1: Eye-catching Chapter 12: Giving Swords to a Hundred Ships
"Ah Nian, have you slept?" Wu Mu asked at the door of the house.
"Slept. Wu Nian replied without hesitation.
"I think we need to sit down and have a good talk. β
"There's nothing to talk to you about, let's go. Wu Nian urged urgently, obviously not wanting to say a few more words to Wu Nian.
Wu Mu waited at the door for a long time, Wu Nian's attitude was still so tough, he let out a sigh of relief, and just wanted to turn around and leave, when he suddenly thought of something, turned around, and said in a good voice: "By the way, there is one more thing." Ah Nian, no matter how you treat me, I am still me, you have to believe that I will not harm you, today the little girl of the Yan family is back, and even came back with his fiancΓ©. β
"That girl is no longer trusted, in just a few years, she has broken through the five veins, become a strong person in the pulse, and also worshiped Elder Mei of Baihulu Mountain as a teacher, and her future is immeasurable. His fiancΓ© is even more amazing, he is already a six-vein cultivator, so you have to pay attention. β
Wu Mu turned around and left, "If you don't want to lose the little lady, you can come to me, I can help you." I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I don't think I'll go into the loess with so many things one day. β
The footsteps gradually faded away, Wu Niancai relieved his guard, Wu Mudi heard what he said just now, and every sentence was in his ears.
"Didn't Mo Xue come back a long time ago? "Wu Nian is very strange, didn't this Yan Moxue come back a few days ago, and he also gave her Tang pear crisp, this Wu Mu is really unpredictable.
However, there are still some things that he still cares about, that is, he said that Yan Moxue is already a powerhouse of the five veins, and he also worships Elder Mei of Baihulu Mountain as his teacher, and he has also heard of Elder Mei's name a little, that is one of the top inner sect elders in the Sword Sect, and Wu Nian is still very relieved to hear these news. But what he didn't expect was that the pock-faced little prince who stopped him from entering the Yan Mansion at the beginning turned out to be a six-vein powerhouse.
Wu Nian had a ruthlessness in his heart, ruthlessness towards himself.
He has a lot of things he wants to do, and those things need to be enough.
On this night, he did not rest all night, according to the thirteen teachings to him, sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes and concentrating, holding Yuan Shouyi.
After a long time, he could faintly feel a faint air flow surging around his body.
The feeling is subtle.
......
The swordsman cultivates the sword, and without the sword, how can it work.
In the early morning of the next day, Wu Nian took out the clay pot that he had treasured for several years, and it contained copper and broken silver that he had stored for several years, and when it was integrated, there were just two or three coins of silver, which was enough to buy an inferior sword.
In the past few years, the old Wu family's wine has sold a lot, and it can be regarded as making a little money. But Wu Mu only provided him with food and drink, but never gave him money. And all the money he saved was a tip from a well-meaning wine buyer, and he saved all the money, and he didn't think about buying a convenient board car, but only thought about using the money to buy a suitable sword until one day.
Blacksmith Liu is a foreigner, from the town of Huangshan next door, and is not a native of the country. lives in the alleys, and his reputation spreads far and wide, and he is talking about people like Liu Blacksmith.
It is reported that he had been instructed by the master of refining before, and he wanted to worship the master of refining as his master, but in the end he was rejected by the master of refining, saying that it was Liu Blacksmith's talent for striking iron that was very good, but his cultivation qualifications were a little worse and he could not create a treasure.
And the premise of forging treasure weapons is that you need to be a cultivator. And the treasure that can be created for cultivators can only be completed by cultivators.
If many wealthy families in Qinghe Town needed any ironware, they would not go to the larger blacksmith shop in the town to make it, but would come here to find Blacksmith Liu. Maybe this is also related to the sincerity of Blacksmith Liu, you get what you pay for, and he always buys and sells according to the price. Therefore, the iron tools he made were counted as one if they were of good quality, and one if they were cheap.
Taking advantage of the morning light, he held the old clay pot and went to the old Liu blacksmith shop in the adjacent alley.
It is not far from the neighboring alleys, and the journey is not far, but on the way, I saw a lot of people gathered together to discuss some things that happened in the east of the city yesterday.
Wu Nian all passed by and ignored it, among which there were also Wu Nian who knew, and asked him to go over to sit and chat, he laughed and said that there was still something to do, so he walked deeper into the alley.
Wu Nian's posture caused the neighbors who were sitting together to chat to laugh, saying that Wu Nian was a coward, but he didn't dare to chat.
It's not that he doesn't dare, it's that he doesn't want to talk, he's afraid of talking about them.
Blacksmith Liu's shop is naturally not far from the mouth of the alley, and everything just now is in his eyes, "Ah Nian, don't be like those old things, they are all playing with you." β
Then he took Wu Nian's arm and walked into the room, "Come in and sit down, when Anyang came back yesterday, I was clamoring to play with you!"
"Anyang is back. As soon as he thought that Anyang was back, Wu Nian directly left all the troubles just now.
"Yes, Anyang is back, but the girl hasn't gotten up yet!" Blacksmith Liu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "But you just sit and rest, the girl is almost awake, I guess I won't be happy when I wake up." β
Wu Nianwan smiled, Xiao Anyang went back to his hometown in the next town, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and now that he heard that Xiao Anyang was back, he was inevitably looking forward to seeing this little girl who was sticking to death again.
"By the way, Ah Nian, what kind of wind blew your house squatting today, it's been a few years, and it's the first time I've seen you go out on a free day. Blacksmith Liu said curiously.
Blacksmith Liu's words made Wu Nian a little strange, and he thought that Blacksmith Liu would ask him where he had gone in the past few days, after all, he hadn't been home for seven days.
Wu Nian was silent for a while, then took out his clay pot and said: "Uncle Liu, I came here this time to patronize your business, you count how much money is in it, and give me a sword according to the money in it, there is not much money here, but it is more or less a second-class long sword, you think about giving me a sword." β
"What did you just say, you have to fight a sword. If it weren't for seeing Wu Nian nodding at him, Blacksmith Liu really thought that he had heard it wrong because he had bad ears.
Blacksmith Liu took the clay pot, and didn't count it, so he carried the clay pot into the back room, and when he came out, the clay pot was gone, but there was a well-forged long sword in his hand.
The sword is about seven and a half feet long, and its scabbard is made of black iron, which is carved with many delicate patterns. Blacksmith Liu flipped his hand, put the long sword horizontally in front of him, and slowly pulled out the long sword, the bronze of the long sword was the handle, the green steel was the edge, and the sharp sword body shone sharply in the daytime.
Blacksmith Liu waved his right hand, pointed the tip of his sword directly at Wu Nian, and said: "The old man has no ability, so he has some catties and taels of iron." This is the most successful sword I have fought in decades, although it is not as good as the high-grade yellow weapon, but it is barely the upper grade yellow weapon. β
Wu Nian was amazed by this long sword, and couldn't believe that Blacksmith Liu could make such a sword, and this sword was still a treasure.
"Uncle Liu, what are you ......" Wu Nian was puzzled.
"This is the sword you are going to fight, uncle, I will give you a good shot in advance. β
"No, no, no, how can this work, I know in my own heart how much money is in that clay pot, I can't afford such a sword, so take it back quickly." Wu Nian waved his hand frantically, although the yellow weapon was an extremely rare thing, he didn't want to take advantage of Blacksmith Liu like this.
"There are few people who use swords in the town, and there are few people who learn swords, Lao Liu, I live in this kind of remote place, and I can't sell it, so you can accept it, just help me do a propaganda, and when the time comes, if someone asks to fight a sword, just say that there is an iron master in Xiting Lane, Qinghe Town. Blacksmith Liu smiled and put the long sword into its sheath and placed it in front of Wu Nian, "Try it." β
"Uncle Liu, I really can't stand it, how dare I be extravagant with such a sword, this is a treasure, and it is difficult for the children of rich families to find a treasure. β
"If you use it, you can use it, what so much nonsense, if you talk nonsense, I will cut you. "Blacksmith Liu has never been a person who twists and turns, Wu Nian shirked like this, he directly raised his eyebrows, as if Wu Nian didn't take the sword, he would really cut him.
Wu Nian was taken aback, and took the long sword tremblingly.
"Yes, that's right, it should have been like this a long time ago, it has to be forced. Truly, this sword was made for you, and from now on this sword will be yours. Blacksmith Liu crossed his hands on his hips, a little up, he glanced at Wu Nian, who was hesitant, and he continued: "Don't think about it so much, you really think it's so cheap for you, what kind of big dream do you have! After taking this sword, you have to protect Xiao Anyang well, if something happens to Xiao Anyang, I will really cut you." β
"Uncle Liu, don't say that, Anyang is such a well-behaved and good child, how could something happen!"
"I'm just saying that this sword will be yours in the future, but you can't bury him, you know?" Uncle Liu also felt that he had said the wrong thing, and his voice became a little quieter.
"Got it, thank you Uncle Liu for the gift of the sword, Ah Nian, I thank you again. Wu Nian bent down and bowed to Uncle Liu from the bottom of his heart, Uncle Liu was very good to himself, every time he talked with him, he could always feel the real warmth, which had never changed in ten years.
"Inferior pornography?"
Wu Nian pulled out the long sword, and the reflected sword light revealed a fierce aura, this is a good sword that can be said to be perfect casting, holding the sword in his right hand, he began to wave the long sword in his hand a little far away from Uncle Liu, he has not learned any swordsmanship, and it is disorganized to wield it, but after all, he is a cultivator of the Three Veins Realm, and he still has momentum when he dances the sword.
This sword is very sharp, so sharp that Wu Nian only wields it in a small place, for fear that he will accidentally chop the things in Uncle Liu's house.
"When is it, Ah Nian. Uncle Liu asked when he saw Wu Nian put away his long sword.
"What happened?" Wu Nian asked rhetorically.
"When did you become a cultivator, yesterday you came to deliver wine, how did you become a cultivator today. Blacksmith Liu said a little confused.
"I came to deliver the wine yesterday, I haven't been back for seven days. β
"I told you to come to the house yesterday to sit down, but you didn't agree. β
Hearing Blacksmith Liu's words, Wu Nian's mouth opened wide and asked again, "I really came yesterday?"
Blacksmith Liu nodded yes, without any intention of concealing it.
Could it be him?
Or is she?
All Wu Nian could think of was Wu Mu and Thirteen, otherwise he really couldn't believe that someone could disguise himself as himself to deliver wine.
"It could only be him. Wu Nian said secretly.
"Ah Nian, what's wrong with you, I see that your face is not very good, why don't you go into the inner room and rest for a while!" Blacksmith Liu looked at Wu Nian, who was frowning, and said worriedly.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. Wu Nian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and prayed in his heart, as long as the person who came yesterday was not thirteen.
"Is there any name for this sword?" Wu Nian asked by staggering the subject.
"I call him Baige. Liu Blacksmith said, "We are not cultural people, we are all taken by Zhang Xiucai at the mouth of the alley, he said that hundreds of boats compete for the current, borrowing the sea to sail, I call it a hundred boats." β
"Good sword!" Wu Nian praised.
At this time, Blacksmith Liu dragged his little stubble, looked carefully around Wu Nian, nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Hmm...... It's a bit like this, go out like this, and no one will say that you are a little swordsman in the future, you are a big swordsman. β
"This is thanks to Uncle Liu. β
Wu Nian swept the long sword in his hand, which was much heavier than he had imagined.
"Is this a real sword? I have my own sword. β
The corners of Wu Nian's mouth rose, he was very happy, he just thought that the money in the clay pot could allow Uncle Liu to fight a slightly similar iron sword, but he didn't expect Uncle Liu to be so generous and give him such a good sword.
When he was a child, he was a little fascinated by listening to Wang Fuzi's storytelling, and he aspired to become a swordsman. At that time, he loved to play, and often walked around with other children in the eight alleys of the neighborhood, and every time he walked around, he would put "I want to be a swordsman when I grow up", and after a long time, people who knew Wu Nian often talked about it, laughing at him and saying that he was a fool and a dream. That's how the "little swordsman" came about.
For the nickname of Little Swordsman, he cried and laughed, he may have praised him when he was a child, but now all that remains is ridicule.
Yan Moxue and Yan Chen, who played with him, have become powerful sword cultivators one after another, and he is still a family squat.
"Now that I have a yellow weapon in my hand, and I am a cultivator of the Three Veins Realm, see who can laugh at me anymore and say that I am a little swordsman. Wu Nian said secretly.
