Chapter Eighty-Five: The Village of the Sages

The two of them walked through the valley, and their eyes were dark, and they lit up again, this place was simply a paradise! It was so beautiful, a quiet bamboo forest, a blooming peach blossom forest, a charming purple lavender, and all kinds of colorful flowers, blooming in the village surrounded by mountains. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Butterflies frolic in the flowers, and birds fly over the sea of flowers from time to time, which reminds An Wenxuan of a poem "Lingering butterflies dance from time to time, and the warbler is just crying".

The two of them saw many flowers that we didn't know, they were all strange and had their own characteristics, and they seemed to be holding a flower show.

Looking from afar, in the depths of the village, I vaguely saw a mountain, this mountain also has a waterfall, and the water in the waterfall falls down, like a fairy descending to earth.

The old man sitting under the big tree to enjoy the shade, looked at the children playing under the peach blossom tree peacefully, as if he remembered his childhood, and he was also so playful and noisy, showing a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The dancing woman is also dancing under the peach blossom tree, dancing and dancing as if blending with the peach blossoms, the beauty is incomparable, the beauty is suffocating, the green rice is distributed in the field, constituting a natural picture, it is so mysterious, so intriguing.

This is really a paradise, which makes people look at everything indifferently, laugh at the gains and losses of success or failure, and laugh at the rise of the wind and clouds in the red dust and the heart outside the world.

An Wenxuan and Xiaoshuang walked into this paradise, and with playful children leading the way, the two came to the village chief's house.

"Village Chief, may I ask what kind of place this is......"

"Young adventurer, this is the village of the sages, a retreat (small world) established by the mighty and descendants who rebelled against the rule of the gods, and some call it a trial space. This place is opened once every ten years, and people who are destined to enter it are randomly selected, and they can obtain various knowledge and make them become the powerhouses of the Divine Continent. ”

An Wenxuan looked at the village chief in front of him and asked, "Village chief, why did we come here?"

"Because this trial space is the land of human inheritance, it is opened once every ten years, and it is opened for three months at a time, and the opening location randomly appears in the Continent of the Gods. Of course, you also need to choose the life skills you want to learn before you can do it. The village chief said.

An Wenxuan remembered the legend of the Divine Continent that Murong Fengwu had talked about, and it was said that every ten years, some lucky people in the Divine Continent entered a trial space and became strong after various trials. There are even some commoners and beggars who, because of entering the trial space, have become respected and well-known forgers, rune or inscription masters, armor makers or apothecaries, etc.

And from the village chief, I received the information on life skills. From smelting to forging, from herbs to potions, there are dozens of life skills, each independent but mutually influential, through the combination conditions given by the system elves, it is easy to combine countless life occupations, smelting and forging, creating a natural blacksmith, but if on the basis of the blacksmith, coupled with the knowledge of the magic array, this ordinary profession will immediately be transformed into a magician forging magic equipment!

The combination of life skills is not added up casually, in addition to the fact that the combined skills must complement each other, there are also quite harsh conditions attached. To perform the combination of life skills, you must reach the Grandmaster level or above.

For this restriction, An Wenxuan does not feel strange, this is no different from reality, only after reaching the peak of his own field, he is qualified to integrate the characteristics of other fields and walk out of his own path.

The village chief asked An Wenxuan to choose logging, mining, smelting, and forging, and to Xiaoshuang (Chen Derong) to choose a rune master.

"Why?"

"According to my observations, you have a lot of potential for development in terms of strength, physical strength and spirit, and logging, mining, forging and smelting happen to be the best way to improve these three attributes at the beginning of training, through them, you can increase these three attributes by more than half in a short period of time, and by that time, you should be able to survive in the wild. In addition, I will tell you that everything you have learned before has been sealed by the rules of this world, and only your own abilities can be brought into play, that is, your original strength, physical strength, agility, spirit, etc., and all the exercises and skills must be learned from scratch. ”

"Wait...... You mean, we're just ordinary people now, and we're very weak?" An Wenxuan listened and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Yes, according to the True Eye scan, your physical strength is much lower than normal here, and you have to be trained to be fit for normal play. Also, you can't use weapons or scrolls in the outside world. ”

The sentence "The physical strength is far lower than the normal level...... sounds a little awkward, An Wenxuan repeated it several times before he suddenly understood, isn't this what it means to be disabled?

An Wenxuan was really angry and funny, he couldn't imagine that in this trial space, he would be called a cripple......

An Wenxuan: Professional Warrior, Strength 75, Stamina 42, Agility 36, Spirit 32, Health 750, Mana 320, Energy 420.

Xiaoshuang (Chen Derong): Professional warrior, strength 28, physical strength 32, agility 36, spirit 38, health 180, mana 380, energy 320. (20 points for ordinary people in the Continent of Gods, 40 points for martial artists, and 80 points for trial space)

"Village Chief, apart from looking for you, how can we observe the attributes of our own bodies?"

"This is easy to do, there is a real stone in the village office hall, you can check your attributes, and the reconnaissance technique you have learned, if it is unsealed, you can also observe the attributes that are within 5 levels of you. ”

"Is this the same game as the previous life?it's just that this one is dead and dead, and there is no chance to ......" An Wenxuan was talking to Xiaoshuang as he sent her to the inscription master to study.

And he came to the blacksmith shop, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith shop was a little deserted, and there was no scene of sparks splashing around the furnace as An Wenxuan imagined, the old blacksmith was leaning against the anvil and smoking his pipe, occasionally breaking out one or two coughs, the sound was like a bellows in the blacksmith shop with a hint of breaking sound, and An Wenxuan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for him.

It wasn't until An Wenxuan pushed open the door of the blacksmith shop that the old man opened his cloudy eyes: "If you don't open the furnace today, you will come back tomorrow if you want to hit something." ”

The old blacksmith ignored him, and he still had a smile on his face: "I don't want to shoot anything, I'm here to learn how to make iron from you." ”

"Oh?" I thought I would be rejected, but I didn't expect the old blacksmith to hear this, but his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and he stopped smoking cigarettes, and stared at An Wenxuan for a long time before he shook his head with some regret: " I can't imagine that there are still young people who are willing to come to learn to make iron, but it's a pity, young man, your body is too poor, only the strength is okay, and the others are not very suitable for the industry of blacksmithing, and the old man, I have been a blacksmith all my life, I know how hard a blacksmith is, with your physical condition, you may not be able to persevere, so it's better to learn other crafts as soon as possible......"

"Is your health too bad?" Just now when the village chief also said that his physical strength was far below the normal level here, he was still a little unimpressed, but now even the old blacksmith said so, An Wenxuan couldn't help but feel a little weak, but he still quickly responded: "As long as you are willing to teach me, I can suffer anything!"

"Yes, since you can endure any hardship...... the old blacksmith closed his cloudy eyes again, and leaned listlessly against the anvil and smoked, in the smoke, there was a slight sound from time to time in the pipe, and I don't know how long it took before the old blacksmith opened his eyes and pointed his pipe at a hammer in the corner of the wall: "Then you pick up the hammer first and strike it for half an hour." ”

"Yes!" An Wenxuan walked to the corner of the wall, wanting to pick up the hammer on the ground, which was half a human high.

Who knew that the heaviness of the hammer was far beyond his expectations, with An Wenxuan's strength of barely picking up the 7,500 catties of Thor's hammer, ordinary things were not a problem at all, but now An Wenxuan had exhausted all his strength, and he could only barely swing the hammer a dozen times, and it was an impossible task to forge it.

An Wenxuan estimated that the weight of this hammer was at least more than 1,000 catties.

What is the concept of a blacksmith who beats iron with a hammer of a thousand pounds?

But An Wenxuan's personality is also stubborn, I saw him clenching his teeth, his forehead rose to the surface, and with a loud shout, he insisted on waving it more than a dozen times.

The old blacksmith's pipe was still ringing, but there was an imperceptible hint of approval in his cloudy eyes.

The old blacksmith slowly put down his pipe.

"From today onwards, you are my old Black's apprentice. After saying this, the old blacksmith stooped down and took up the hammer, which weighed a thousand pounds. The hammer was in the old blacksmith's hand, but it was so handy, his wrist shook again and again, as if he was holding a feather duster in his hand, not a hammer that could smash people into meat sauce with a hammer.

I saw him casually pick up a piece of pig iron from the anvil and throw it into the furnace: "Make a fire." ”

"Yes!"

In the sound of the bellows breaking, Old Black picked up the iron tongs at his feet, gently clamped the red iron embryo, and the thousand-pound hammer set off a hurricane sound, like a meteor falling from the sky, and smashed on the red-hot iron embryo.

The moment the hammer and the anvil collided together, a series of scorching sparks suddenly splashed, and the deafening sound of metal collision was endless, and the hot sparks splashed like brilliant fire magic, and the sound of metal collision was superimposed on each other, and there was a feeling of thunder.

An Wenxuan's eyes straightened when he looked at it from the side, and the performance of the old blacksmith in front of him could no longer be said to be iron-striking, but could be called art! He struck iron, and he really hit a new realm. An Wenxuan thought that in the dwarf's underground fire refining city, forging with the thirty-six hammers of Dayan was already a wonderful note, but compared to Old Black, he was not even a scumbag at the beginning!

On this small desk, the weight of the hammer is carried lightly and wantonly, and there is indeed a bit of the momentum of the calligraphy master splashing ink to create a world-shattering masterpiece on the spot.

The old blacksmith's movements were not too fast, but they were incredibly steady, and the hammer fell thousands of times, but the height that the old blacksmith lifted it up was always on the same level, as if after the most accurate measurement, the hammer was lifted high, and then fell heavily on the anvil, and after a thousand blows, there was not even a single mistake.

If the hammer is replaced by a knife, An Wenxuan still has some confidence, so that this knife will always remain on the same level within a hundred slashes, but he knows that it is an iron hammer, a hammer weighing thousands of catties, and he will not be able to reach the realm of an old blacksmith.

Looking at the flying sparks, An Wenxuan was completely stunned......

The old blacksmith also dropped the last hammer heavily, and a section of the sword body lay quietly on the anvil, exuding a scorching breath, old Blake took out the iron tongs, picked up the sword body on the anvil, and threw it into the bucket with a casual lift......

After all this, the old blacksmith gently lowered the hammer in his hand and lit the extinguished pipe.

"As my apprentice, the first thing you have to learn is mining, which not only allows you to learn about minerals, but also builds your strength and arm strength, and the second thing is how to use a hammer correctly. Saying that, the old blacksmith bent down again, found a hammer next to the anvil and threw it to An Wenxuan: "From today onwards, you go to the village pit every day to dig for stones, and then use this hammer to strike on the anvil a thousand times, and when it is finished, you can leave, and when I think you have been able to use the hammer correctly, I will teach you something new." ”

The hammer thrown by the old blacksmith was still heavy, but it was not as exaggerated as before, it was a thousand-pound hammer.

The hammer head that was lost this time was obviously several turns smaller than the hammer head of the old blacksmith when he was striking iron. An Wenxuan lifted it up and tried it, feeling that it was about two or three hundred catties, which was completely within the range of what he could bear, but anyway, compared to the thousand-pound hammer before, this one in front of him was not too terrifying.

"In addition, you go to the carpenter to learn the art of logging, which can increase your accuracy and the use of waist strength and strength. ”

An Wenxuan was holding a hammer in his hand, and he didn't rush to immediately raise the hammer and smash it. He closed his eyes, and tried his best to recall the old blacksmith's movements when he struck the iron and hammered, and corrected his mistakes again and again in his mind when he used the thirty-six hammers of Dayan to forge them.

An Wenxuan simulated it nearly a hundred times in his mind, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and at the same time that a light full of confidence shot out, the hammer in his hand was raised high above his head and slammed into the anvil.

The small room echoed with the sound of the hammer hitting the anvil just now, and the hot sparks erupted irregularly in all directions like brilliant fireworks at midnight.

Blake's cloudy old eyes with curiosity suddenly bloomed with unprecedented light at this moment, and his right hand, which was always stable with a thousand pounds of hammer, shook violently at this moment, as if he couldn't even hold a light pipe.

Blake looked at An Wenxuan, who had already hit the second hammer, in surprise, the height and falling speed of the first hammer on his arm were exactly the same as when he struck the iron.

However, this is not what surprised Blake, the essence of the real judgment of the previous drill of striking iron was not the height and speed of the hammer, but the metallic clangle of the moment it hit the anvil.

The sound of An Wenxuan's first hammer was three points the same as that of Blake's hammer, it was not a coincidence that it could appear, but he really observed and experienced it with his heart, and integrated his experience in using the thirty-six hammers of Dayan.

One hammer, two hammers, three hammers......

An Wenxuan kept swinging the hammer and hammering it on the anvil repeatedly.

He was so focused that he forgot the passage of time, even the fatigue of his body, and he suddenly realized that forging was actually very interesting.

The old blacksmith didn't seem to pay attention to his apprentice, just leaning back on the chaise longue and dozing off, the pipe on his lips flickering in the sound of iron, but in fact he was secretly learning the thirty-six hammers of Dayan.

500 ...... An Wenxuan's arms became more and more sore, so he simply used his internal strength and fighting qi together to supplement it, and continued to do the same movements repeatedly.

It wasn't until late afternoon that An Wenxuan completed a thousand beats.

When everything stopped, An Wenxuan felt that not only his right arm, but all the muscles on the right half of his body, were wailing in pain and soreness, and it was impossible to raise his arm again.

When An Wenxuan went out, the old blacksmith was still dozing, but he just nodded at him and closed his cloudy eyes again.

After having dinner with Xiaoshuang, Xiaoshuang used internal force to dredge and massage An Wenxuan's arms, and An Wenxuan went to the carpenter to learn logging!

At midnight, when An Wenxuan dragged his tired and weak body into the village again, he laughed happily, it turned out that Xiaoshuang actually led Ah Zhu and Tie Zhongtang and them over.

It turned out that during the time he was logging, Ah Zhu and Tie Zhongtang also discovered the space gate one after another, and they were also teleported, and among the people who teleported, there were Xiao Lori and a group of young dwarf warriors. It turned out to be little Lori who came to him after he left, and the Great Elder sent a dwarf warrior to find Little Lori, and everyone entered the trial space together. Listening to Xiaoshuang's introduction, some adventurers from the mercenary group also entered the trial space.

When he got up early the next morning, An Wenxuan Yungong found that his internal strength and fighting qi had a hint of fusion, and when he was running the Divine Illumination Sutra, the Golden Crow Jue was also running slowly, and the frequency of the heartbeat where the fire attribute blood vein was located was also synchronizing with the operation of the exercises.

An Wenxuan's place where they lived was an empty street, surrounded by residential houses that were not very tall. An Wenxuan put his hands in his trouser pockets, leisurely walking on the empty street, observing the signboards of the houses around.

[Zhang Nara's Mysterious Pharmacy], (read the news that the little beauty of the year was banned by my Korean TV station back then) A black signboard hung high above the main entrance of the house, An Wenxuan looked inside curiously, and found a woman who looked to be in her thirties, wearing a light blue apron, was busy in front of a pile of glass test tubes, which erupted with pungent green, or blue, or yellow and other colors of liquid.

"Mysterious Elixir?" An Wenxuan shrunk his neck, there are two kinds of potions in the Divine Continent, one is a very noble pharmacist, they can prepare some potions that replenish physical strength, restore fighting energy, and even restore magic power and a mysterious potion! People call this profession mysterious apothecary, this is a group of very mysterious people.

There is also an oriental medicine such as powder, pills, and pills, which is called an alchemist or alchemist.

An Wenxuan remembered reading a book about a mysterious apothecary, which recorded a passage about the mysterious apothecary: "If there really are gods in the world!, then I will make a potion that even if a toad drinks it, it can become a god!"

An Wenxuan still remembers that many of the comments below the literature are the evaluations of once very famous and powerful people in history: madman! madman!
