"What? Help you forge a famous sword? You ignorant boy, you dare to say it!"

Gong Wu, who had a stinky shoe-faced face, knocked the ashes in the smoke pot clean, and then threw it on the table with a "snap", raised his eyes to stare at Wang Yang, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what a famous sword means? There are too many swords in the entire Xia Kingdom to count, and there are only a few hundred of them in total, are you sure that you deserve a famous sword? Even if you think you are worthy, why do you want me to help you cast a famous sword? Do you know?" In the Heroic Era, Gong He, the ancestor of my Gong family, in order to cast a pair of tiger tooth swords for the Flying Tiger General Huyan Chong, fought the last trace of strength, boiled up the last drop of blood and sweat, and after handing over the hammer to his son, he died of exhaustion. That Flying Tiger General is a great hero who has been famous for the ages, and the ancestor is willing to give his life in order to forge a sword for him, how can you be virtuous?

"I ......"

When Wang Yang first came in, he was still full of confidence and pride, but at this moment, he was stunned by the old man's question, ashamed, and embarrassed.

Gong Wu reprimanded mercilessly: "Let's go! The door wall of my surname Gong can't accommodate a brazen descendant like you, who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”

Wang Yang's face was flushed, his two fists were clenched and crackled, and he was about to leave with his sleeves when he spoke, but he was pulled by Lynch.

"Master Gong doesn't need to be angry, Brother Wang came to you to forge a sword with all his heart, because I told him before that as long as it is from Master Gong's hand, it must be a good sword in a thousand!"

Lin Qi said respectfully at Gong Wu: "Wang Yang is the descendant of the Wind and Thunder bloodline, and he is also one of the best sword cultivators I have ever seen, with his qualifications and bearing, he will definitely not insult the sword forged by Master Gong." ”

When Gong Wu heard this, his expression eased slightly, he didn't speak, he reached out and picked up the discarded cigarette pot, and Huang Xiaonian, who was standing on the side, hurriedly came over to fill him with tobacco, and then lit a fire.

"Let's go, let's ......"

The old man spewed out clouds and mist, and his knife-like face was hidden behind the light smoke, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Hey, he's going to forge a sword, why are you in a hurry?

After a moment of silence, Gong Wu spoke: "Why don't you kid ask me to help you forge a sword? If you open your mouth, I will definitely agree, and I promise to help you forge a sword!"

"Oh, I don't need a sword. ”

Lynch shook the hammer in his hand and said with a smile: "As far as I know, this hammer was made by Master Gong himself, right? No wonder it is so strong, so perfect, and it is easy and comfortable to wield." I was so content to get this hammer that I didn't dare ask for more. ”

"You're a sharp-eyed kid. ”

Gong Wu snorted lightly in his nose, not knowing whether he was laughing or mocking, and turned to look at Wang Yang, "You are the one who wants a sword, tell me again, what kind of sword do you want?"

Wang Yang's heart trembled, and he understood that the old man surnamed Gong had given him another chance, but he was afraid that it would be the last chance, so he hurriedly thought about how to reply.

Gong Wu said: "Sword casting is a big deal for your sword cultivation, and for us sword casters, it is a top priority, you don't have to answer me immediately, give you three days, it's not too late to think about it." ”

Wang Yang's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "It doesn't take three days, I'll reply to you now." Master Gong, please help me forge a sword, a nameless sword, and when I use this sword to make a name for itself, it will naturally become a famous sword!"

Gong Wu has always been expressionless, joy and anger are invisible, just like the ancient well, at this moment, he was stunned by the arrogant words of the young man, and the cloudy old eyes bloomed with inexplicable brilliance, and even the cigarette forgot to smoke, and it came out of the smoke pot.

Suddenly, Gong Wu slapped the table and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will go to Dilung Mountain to borrow a furnace from the pottery steps, choose an auspicious day, and open the furnace to cast a sword!"

Wang Yang was overjoyed, and bent down deeply to thank him: "Wang Yang will definitely live up to Master Gong's grace in forging swords!"

Gong Wu nodded and said to Lin Qi: "Qi Heng, at that time, I still need the two of you and Xiao Nian to help me forge the sword, otherwise, I am afraid that my old life will not be enough to fight." ”

Lynch did not hesitate to accept it.

......

Five days later, west of Yecheng City, Lung Mountain.

According to research, there are a total of 14 mountains in Daxia called Dilung Mountain, and this mountain is also known as Kuzhu Mountain, or Dry Bamboo Mountain, which is one of them.

Kuzhu Mountain, as the name suggests, has a large area of bamboo growing on the mountain, which is called Kuzhu. Bitter bamboo is different from ordinary bamboo, the branches and leaves are very sparse, basically a smooth one, perennial in a withered state, the growth is very slow, and it is difficult to grow for hundreds of years.

Thousands of years ago, somehow, the fire veins under the mountain surged, erupted out of the ground, forming a huge fire pool, making the mountain full of green bamboo withered and died, and only a few hundred trees remained tenaciously survived.

Over the years, these hundreds of dead bamboos have gradually evolved into a new kind of bamboo, which is bitter bamboo. After thousands of years, bitter bamboo spreads all over the mountain, but there is no longer that refreshing bamboo sea, only the bitter bamboo forest like grave soil and barren grass remains.

The cooking fire pool of the Earth Lung Mountain is a superb furnace made by nature, and it is one of the world's famous casting holy places, since the day of its birth, it has been occupied by the ancient casting master Tao Tao, and since then, it has been the private domain of the Tao family. For 3,000 years, countless soldiers were born from the cooking fire pool of the Lung Mountain, and there are many treasures like carp crossing the river, and there are countless divine weapons with names that have shocked the world for thousands of years......

It is said that there are four kinds of people in the world who are most likely to survive the chaotic disasters of the changing dynasties and continue the existing glory and wealth, one is after the saint of Wenzong, the second is after the heavenly monarch of the Daomen, the third is the family of doctors and Taoists, and the fourth is the family of casters with a long history.

The Tao family, like most of the forger clans, has always only focused on forging super soldiers, never caring about the general trend of the world, no matter who becomes the emperor, they will continue to refine weapons for the victor. Just as scholars will help the new emperor regain the broken mountains and rivers, govern the country, and sit firmly in the world, just as the Taoist priests will still do the same alchemy, cultivate the truth, seek immortals, and ask questions, and just as the doctors still have to hang pots to help the world and save the dead and help the wounded.

Gong Wu is a little famous in the small Yecheng, but looking at the world, he is just an unknown old blacksmith. The reason why he was able to borrow the cooking pit furnace where the dignified Tao family settled down was because the Tao family once owed the Gong family a favor and promised the descendants of the Gong family that they could use the cooking pit ten times unconditionally.

For thousands of years, the Gong family has only used the cooking pool six times, and this time is the seventh.

"Brother Gong, this is the dog Guangru. ”

Tao Zhu, one of the five major masters of the Tao family, came to Gong Wu with a young man who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with refreshing eyebrows and eyes, and a tall figure, "Son, I haven't seen Uncle Gong yet." ”

"Uncle Gong, don't come unharmed!"

The young man hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "More than ten years ago, my little nephew was still a teenager, and I saw the grand scene of the sky hanging over the mountain when Uncle Gong's sword Jiangang was born, and I have always admired it, but I didn't expect to be able to meet again, it is really an honor for the little nephew!"

Gong Wu nodded reluctantly, which was regarded as a return gift, and then said directly to Tao Zhu: "According to the agreement, from today onwards, the furnace of the Tianzi number of the cooking fire pool will be handed over to me for use until my sword is cast." ”

Tao Zhu smiled faintly and replied: "Of course, this is a thousand-year-old agreement between our two clans, and my generation should abide by it. ”

Gong Wu's face was expressionless, "um", and said dryly: "Then Gong Mou will start casting, and he will accompany him less." ”

"Brother Gong, don't worry, there is one more matter, the younger brother needs to explain it in advance. ”

Tao Zhu looked at Gong Wu's impatient expression that seemed to have the words "You say it quickly", and continued: "Brother Gong doesn't know, in recent years, the cooking pool has become more and more unstable, and there will be molten eruptions from time to time, so you need to be careful and vigilant. The dog has been working in the Tianzi furnace all the year round, and he is clear about the law of the changes in the fire pool, so in order to avoid any unnecessary accidents when Brother Gong casts the sword, let the dog serve as the furnace for Brother Gong, right?"

Although Lynch said that he had been playing horseshoes for a few months, he was still a layman in this refining business, but he also knew that the most taboo thing in the refining industry was stealing teachers. Tao Zhu, as one of the great masters of the Tao family, was really shocked to say such a thing that defied the world's condemnation.

Huang Xiaonian, who has a good temper on weekdays, is a little excessive, but when he heard this, he immediately became angry, and he was about to attack on the spot, "Master Tao, what do you mean by this......"

Before Huang Xiaonian finished speaking, he was stopped by the master, "Yes, let him serve the stove." ”
