The Spring and Autumn Period is located in the southeast of Dongzhou, so far the founding of the country for nearly two thousand years, the majestic capital Fengtian all the way to the north, across the vast Liaoyuan, is the most vast territory of Dongzhou Dazhou boundary, the founding ancestor of the Spring and Autumn Period once said: if there is a foreign enemy to invade, the capital is the first gate of the Spring and Autumn Period. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It is precisely because of the royal family's ambition to defend the territory that the Spring and Autumn Period can stand tall in the two thousand years of wind and rain in Dongzhou.

Ling Dong stood on the streets of Fengtian City, looking at the traffic in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity of the capital, he had walked through a lot of places, but when it came to popularity, even the big cities in the middle of Dongzhou had no way to compare with Fengtian, Zhumen fireworks, Shijing Flower Street, the secular flavor here is more intense, plus on the Lanyue Peak outside the capital, Qionghua has been spreading, and the championship conference is not far away, this city has long been empty, and there is not even a place to rest in the inn.

Of course, the disciples of the sect who are qualified to participate in the championship meeting must be excluded, and the Lanyue Palace has almost won half of the city's inns for this grand event, especially the residences arranged for the disciples of several major sects, it will definitely not be bad......

Ling Dong subconsciously touched his nose, counted the days of meeting with Yang Xiuwen and them, and then thought seriously for a while, and finally, he walked towards the city gate.

In addition to the towering Lanyue Peak in the southeast, Fengtian is located in the wilderness, although the nearby mountains and forests are beautiful, but far from the precipitous, far away from the fireworks in the capital, you can see the smoke rising from the cooking, countless villages and houses with white walls and black eaves, high and low, and the big tree village is the most ordinary one.

Ordinary villages, ordinary people.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, villager Chang Laosi walked out of his boiler room, lit a dry tobacco pouch in the low courtyard that was not spacious, and then glanced at Chang Dazhu, who was practicing boxing next to the dry well, and a cold snort came out of his nose, and said: "The ancestral blacksmith can't learn anything, and he can't fill his stomach with these useless fists and feet." ”

Chang Dazhu turned his head and smiled innocently: "Dad, according to the usual practice, the recruitment order of the military department will come down in a few months, and I want to give it a try this year." ”

"Be a soldier?" Chang Laosi's eyes immediately widened, "Don't even think about it, you kid don't think about it, I want you to send Lao Tzu to the end, not Lao Tzu to send you to the end." ”

Chang Dazhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's not that exaggerated, I'm a soldier, not a death." ”

"There is a difference, those barbarians in the Northern Zhou Dynasty are all guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, so I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible. ”

"Dad, you also know that the barbarians are cruel, so I should be a soldier. Chang Dazhu said, "For three consecutive years of the annual examination, I can't even touch the threshold of a showman, let alone raise people and jinshi, but my son understands a truth: the life and death of the country is profitable, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune, not to mention that the emperor founded the country, and he can still use the capital as the gate of the country, and now that the Northern Zhou Dynasty barbarians are changing, those of us who are civilians should do something." ”

Chang Lao Si knocked on the dry tobacco pouch a few times, and scolded: "Don't talk to Lao Tzu about these big truths, you are the secretary of the military department, or the generalissimo of Zhenbei, and you are not a small number of soldiers in the imperial court, anyway, unless I die, don't even think about being a soldier." ”

Chang Dazhu shook his head, and just wanted to open his mouth to argue a few more words, when a knock suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.

"Sorry. Ling Dong stood outside the courtyard and saluted respectfully with a smile, "Little brother Ling Dong, a person from Qingshan in Luojing City, has just arrived in the capital, I don't know if there is any place in this area where I can stay for a few days?"

Chang Dazhu looked at the other party carefully, and then said with a smile: "Brother, you didn't find an inn in the city, right?"

"There are quite a few inns, but ...... There is no place to stay. ”

"That's inevitable!" Chang Dazhu pointed to the distant shadow of the lonely peak in the distance, "It's that mountain, there will be a grand event in a while, and most of the inns in the city have been chartered by them." ”

"No wonder. Ling Dong touched his nose.

Chang Dazhu sighed, looked at the darkening sky, and then glanced back at Chang Laosi who was smoking a cigarette pouch, and after thinking for a while, he finally opened the door of his courtyard completely, and said: "If you don't dislike the cold tiles here, it's better to bend here for a few days." ”

"This ...... What's embarrassing?"

"What's so embarrassing. Since this is your first time in the capital, I can't afford to lose the etiquette of the imperial city. Chang Dazhu turned sideways and said with a smile, "My name is Chang Dazhu, and the one inside is my father." ”

"Uncle Chang, excuse me!" said Ling Dong again.

Chang Laosi took a puff of cigarette and waved his hand: "What bullshit imperial city etiquette, we are the village people, let you live, you can live." ”

Chang Dazhu's face was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The family is poor and unsophisticated, so my brother will sleep in the West House." ”

Atom nodded repeatedly.

In the early morning of the next day, there was a ding-dong knocking sound in the simple boiler room in the corner of the courtyard, Ling Dong walked out of the West House, looked at Chang Dazhu who was meditating next to the dry well, and after observing for a while, he did not disturb, but gently pushed open the wooden door of the boiler room......

Chang Laosi was slightly stunned, stopped beating, turned around and lit a dry tobacco pouch, took a hard puff, and then said expressionlessly: "I've been used to it for so many years, and I forgot that there is still a guest at home." ”

"It's me who is abrupt. Ling Dong smiled, reached out and picked up the forging hammer placed in the corner of the wall, looked at the half-finished smelted iron in front of him, and said, "What a coincidence, when I was at home before, I also learned this craft from the master in the town, and I was idle anyway, so I just gave Chang Bo a hand." ”

Boom!

The forging hammer fell, and the red sparked iron spewed out a string of sparks, and Chang Laosi's eyes showed a trace of consternation, and after observing for more than ten seconds, he finally nodded and muttered: "There are not many young people who can still do this thing now!"

Forging is not only a simple work of strength, the control of the heat, the use of techniques and the grasp of strength, are quite exquisite, and if you want to master these technical things, the only way is to temper hundreds of times.

In a word: as soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Chang Laosi stood aside and spit out a cigarette gently, a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but add a little bit of good impression to the young man in front of him, whether it was technique or strength, it was rare for the other party to be able to do this step, if you insist on picking some bones from the egg, that is, the young man still lacks some experience, mainly reflected in the sense of rhythm is a little worse, and the sound of beating out is not smooth enough.

In the humble boiler room, the old and the young were busy, and in the courtyard outside the house, Chang Dazhu was insisting on what he had been repeating every morning for seven or eight years-Na Yuan exhaled.

It's all practice, but the goals are different, ordinary people have ordinary people's ways, there are no resources of the sect, and there is no extraordinary talent, the only thing Chang Dazhu can do is only four words: diligence can make up for clumsiness, in fact, he has been doing this, these seven or eight years of rain or shine in the morning, in the past few years, he has long been accustomed to the smell of burning iron in the yard, and he is also used to the sound of beating in the boiler room, although he is still in the initial realm, far from being able to talk about the clear heart of the Tao, but at least the realm of selflessness can still be done.

It's just that...... Something seems to have happened today.

Chang Dazhu opened his eyes, straightened up, and glanced back at the boiler room, what happened to him today, his mood was actually affected by the sound of beating inside, which has never happened for so many years.

Holding back the doubts in his heart, Chang Dazhu closed his eyes again, trying to calm himself down and enter a state of emptiness.

Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong......

The sound of forging hammers, which had no sense of rhythm at all, penetrated into his ears like an all-pervasive wind, and Chang Dazhu endured the fluctuations in his mood and silently recited Na Yuan's mantra in his mouth, but this restlessness in his mood eventually affected his breathing.

Ding-dong, Ding-dong-Ding-dong......

Unconsciously, Chang Dazhu seemed to have entered a state of light sleep in tiredness, this feeling was very mysterious, although his mind was empty, the sound of beating in his ears was still clear, and his own exhalation and inhalation seemed to be brought into this rhythm, followed by the resonance of the chest cavity and the churning of the sea of qi......

He vaguely felt the change in the sea of qi, which was not a sign of going mad, but ...... The precursor of Ning Dan, everything came very suddenly, and it was also very mysterious, so sudden that he didn't have any preparation at all, so mysterious that he didn't need to make any preparations at all.

I don't know how long it took, the beating sound in the boiler room gradually subsided, Chang Dazhu finally woke up from the sky, he looked up at the dazzling sunset, exhaled a breath of turbidity, his eyes were full of excited light, a few years later, he finally broke through the barrier, the day of Ning Dan is not far away, so he wants to tell Chang Lao Si this great news as soon as possible.

However, at this time, the courtyard door of the Chang family rang again.

"Help me!"

A middle-aged man staggered in with dirt all over his body, he looked at Chang Dazhu with pleading eyes, and after spitting out two words with difficulty, he plopped and fell to death in the courtyard.
