In the depths of the foundry, there is a small closed iron shop, inside the iron shop, a furnace more than half a zhang high, the appearance of the furnace resembles a gourd, divided into two layers, the furnace wall is simply painted with the pattern of the seven-star chain in vermilion glow powder, this is the seven-star furnace.

At this moment, as the air continues to be fed into the furnace from the bellows, the flames in the furnace are rushing, the fire is blazing, and the temperature is getting higher and higher, the seven-star chain painted on the furnace wall is lit up with four stars, and the iron one will be burned red on the bracket of the bright moon knife, clamped out with long pliers, and then put it into the water to quench, with the blade into the water "snort", fine-grained bubbles continue to gush out of the water. The reddish blade suddenly turned navy blue. It was then removed and placed on an anvil.

Looking at Tie Yi, who was bare-armed, although he was middle-aged, his kung fu did not fall for a day, and his knotted muscles staggered and bulged when he lifted the hammer vigorously, and the power of pulling the mountain fell heavily on the blade, smashing the sharp cone that had bulged on the blade a little.

This was something he had been repeating for three days, until he smoothed the blade of the Bright Moon Knife, but left a hollow the size of a coin in the wound, leaving a flaw. The blade also regained its bright light under the fine polishing of Tie Yi, who looked carefully at the bright moon knife under the light, and then smoothed it along the edge of the knife with his index finger to the tip of the knife, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and it was Jiang Wangchen and his party.

Tie Yi put on a thin coat, handed the Mingyue knife to Jiang Wangchen and said, "Xiao Jiang, you see, this is Xinghao's water-breaking double knife Mingyue, it was damaged when it was sent, and it took me three days to repair it." ”

Jiang Wangchen's gaze was naturally attracted by the hollowness on the bright moon, and he couldn't help but feel sad, the bright moon was damaged, and the clear hair was gone, so what about their master, the eldest brother?

Hua Youyou saw Jiang Wangchen's eyes flowing, and thousands of emotions jumped in his heart, and said: "We have heard Weng Bo say on the road just now, and this person who deliberately left the Mingyue Knife must want to tell us that Brother Xing is still in the world through this knife, and let us go to find it." ”

Tie Yi asked rhetorically, "Then why didn't he go find it himself?"

"This knife must have been left by Cao Li, he must have known that I would come to find Brother Tie, so he left this Mingyue knife here. Jiang Wangchen weighed the bright moon in his hand again, the weight was much lighter than before, and more importantly, he could no longer feel the rhyme of the sword intent flowing in Mingyue itself, holding it in his hand, like holding a withered leaf, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Tie, how do I feel that this bright moon is different from before!"

"Xiao Jiang, the shape of this Mingyue knife is easy to repair, but the charm is difficult to remove! When I received Mingyue, his sword intent had long been gone, presumably Xinghao must have experienced a fierce battle at that time before he ...... this Mingyue" Tie Yi said helplessly, halfway through his words, he saw that Hua Youyou kept looking at him, and he understood, and continued: " Since Cao Li was able to pick up Mingyue, it means that he was also present in the fierce battle that day, and he handed over Mingyue to you today, which means that he knows that Brother Xinghao is still alive, and it must be the time of the fierce battle, Xinghao saw that Mingyue was damaged, and fled in defeat. ”

Jiang Wangchen shook his head and sighed silently: "With the character of the eldest brother, in the situation at that time, he would rather fight to the death than abandon his brother and run away, I know him too well, how can you not know that he is such a stubborn person, always put his brother first, how can he abandon his brother and live a good life." ”

How could Tie Yi not understand, wasn't it precisely because of his heroism and righteousness that he could see Xinghao at first sight? He said that these were just to comfort Jiang Wangchen and to convince himself. At the moment, Jiang Wangchen was so easily debunked, and the hope in his heart, which was already as thin as a cicada's wings, was a little more vast.

Hua Youyou said: "I still think that Brother Tie is right, at least only this logic can be explained, why did Cao Li behave like this, Jiang Wangchen, do you have any other better explanation?"

Jiang Wangchen smiled bitterly, it was regarded as reluctantly accepting such a setting, which was also what he hoped in his heart.

Tie Yi nodded at Hua Youyou and thanked him secretly, and his voice turned sharply and he smiled loudly: "Look at me, I was so excited when I saw the Mingyue Knife, I forgot to ask how your body is recovering, you have been lying in bed for three days and three nights, you know......"

Jiang Wangchen scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Thank you Brother Tie for your concern, your body has almost recovered, although this time I didn't expel the curse essence in my body, but I feel that the blood veins in my body are more spacious and galloping, as if the filth in my body has also been purified." Jiang Wangchen said the curse in his body, and his mood was open.

Tie Yi patted Jiang Wangchen on the shoulder and teased: "It seems that this fight is not in vain, why don't you wait for the Spirit Bamboo Shoot Beast to wake up and arrange another one! I think that the boss is already in his twilight years, maybe he can still fight......

Jiang Wangchen couldn't help but cover his cheeks with his hands and said: "Brother Tie, don't torture me anymore, now I think about the kick of the fifth child, and the cheeks are still twitching involuntarily, I have fought a lot in my life, and I have never been so defeated." ”

"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, Xiao Jiang, what are your plans next......

"I want to inquire about the whereabouts of my eldest brother with Hua Youyou, and at the same time find a way to exorcise the curse in my body. ”

Tie Yiyi: "The matter of Xinghao will be handed over to you Brother Tie, you can rest assured to find a solution to the curse, if you are out of order now, Brother Tie suggests that you might as well go to the Bright Branch Sect in Yancheng to have a look, I heard that High Priest Mu Bai happened to be here these days, maybe the oracle technique of the Bright Sect can be sent one or two." ”

After hearing this, Jiang Wangchen didn't reply immediately, but first looked at Hua Youyou, saw her willow eyebrows smiling, and didn't object, so he replied: "Since that's the case, then I'll go tomorrow." Thank you Brother Tie for your advice. ”

"That's very good. Tie Yi: "When the elf bamboo shoots enter spring sleep, they will stay in Tiefu to rest first, and I will arrange a separate room for them so that no one can disturb them." But Starflame Dog, you better take it away, in just the past three days, I have tossed the Iron Mansion to the point of not being at peace, I really can't help it. ”

Hua Youyou excused herself and refused: "This Starflame Dog was rescued from the dungeon of Lingfu, if it is recognized on the street, then it will be fine, or it will be temporarily placed in Tiefu, and when we lift the curse, how about coming back to pick it up?"

Tie Yi smiled confidently and said: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to re-dye this naughty puppy, and it will definitely not be recognized, so it's decided."

After Tie Yi finished speaking, he seemed to be much more relaxed, this relieved look seemed to be nothing more than sending away the unjust ghosts, which made Jiang and Hua look at each other, and felt bad in their hearts, but it could only be like this, who told Jiang Wangchen to rescue it from the dungeon in the first place!

Jiang Wangchen said: "Brother Tie, Xiao Jiang still has a reluctant request, can you hand over Mingyue to him for safekeeping?"

"This Mingyue was originally your eldest brother's sword, and now his whereabouts are unknown, so naturally he will be handed over to you for safekeeping, I see that you don't have any weapons, although his sword intent is gone, but the blade is not broken, and you can take it with you for self-defense." ”

After Jiang Wangchen thanked him, everyone left the foundry and rested for another night. The next day, when Jiang Wangchen saw Xiaoxing again, sure enough, as Brother Tie said, after Xiaoxing was re-bleached, his appearance had indeed changed greatly, and it could even be said that he was unrecognizable, not to mention that the people of the Ling family couldn't recognize it, even if he met it himself early this morning, he didn't recognize it at first glance. The original weak body, in the Tiefu Hu eat Haisai for three days, the whole body is fat, the previous dull eyes, now also regained the spirit, smart grunt, more importantly, the original dark and smooth fur, has already been replaced by a peach powder, I don't know which artistic imagination of the Tiefu handyman, but also on the foundation of a few snow-white plum blossoms, and the dog's sideburns with a small golden iron ring to tie out two small pigtails, a male dog, was dressed up in a demonic manner. The key is that Xiaoxing himself also likes this dress, walking on the street to the Guangming Sect, the dog's head is shaking vigorously like a rattle, afraid that others will not see his two small braids. This is good, in order not to be found out by the Ling Mansion to dress up, but to attract more visitors, even Hua Youyou, who has always been smiling, also buried with a displeased face: "Why is it pink, why do you want to brush a male dog's hair with pink dye! What kind of aesthetics and taste is this!"

"Forget it, Xiaoxing just likes it. Jiang Wangchen couldn't cry or laugh on the side, and when he saw it running to a meat bun shop, he squatted on the ground, opened his dog's mouth, and desperately drooled. In the peaceful and prosperous world, the owner of the shop also loved Xiaoxing, so he casually rewarded a freshly baked meat bun.

When Xiaoxing saw the steaming meat bun at his feet, he was ecstatic, but politely wagged his tail to the hostess first to thank him, which provoked praise from the onlookers. After Xiao Xing finished the salute, he couldn't wait to take a bite of the whole meat into his mouth, maybe the meat bun was too hot, seeing it toss the meat bun between his teeth, he panted again, it seemed that it was indeed burned. The embarrassed appearance caused the crowd to laugh. The little star was very strong, so he temporarily spit out the meat bun from his mouth and barked at the crowd angrily, not wanting it to backfire and cause everyone to laugh in an uproar. Xiaoxing vented his emotions, then took care of himself to pick up the meat bun into his mouth, lifted its proud head, chewed with relish, and saw its eyes blurred, obsessed with eating, as if tasting gluttonous deliciousness, which made the visitors fascinated.

"Xiaoxing, come back. Jiang Wangchen didn't want to attract too much attention, so he called: "Little Star ......"

Jiang Wangchen shouted for a long time, but there was no movement.

"Look at you, the dog you rescued with your own hands has not listened to you for three days. Hua Youyou joked and said, look at me, after all, the demon is still closer to the demon: "Come, Xiaoxing, come back quickly." ”

Hua Youyou shouted twice, but still didn't see any trace, so angry that Hua Youyou stomped her feet: "This puppy, is it the other way ......around?"

"Forget it, I'll go over and bring it back myself. Jiang Wangchen held back a smile and said, "It's really a stupid dog who only sees eyes open." He's still a troublemaker......"

After Xiaoxing was brought back, he was kicked by Jiang and Hua respectively, and finally followed behind the two honestly. This morning episode can be regarded as the end of this, because the Yancheng Bright Sect has already appeared in front of him.
