Following the sound of footsteps, passing through a slightly dimly lit corridor, and then crossing a threshold, and then a heat wave hit his face, which let Chen Yuan know that he had arrived at the place. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"May I ask if it's Master Ye Tiange?"

It was Xing Lao who spoke, but his tone was quite hesitant.

"Why did you come in?" was the voice I had heard before, and when I looked closely, I realized that it was a cute little boy of seven or eight years old.

Next to the boy was a sloppy middle-aged man full of alcohol, and looking at the color of the clothes on his body, he didn't know how long he hadn't washed them.

"Little friend, is this the home of Master Ye Tiange?" Chen Yuan walked up to the boy, with a warm smile on his face, and said softly. From time to time, his eyes swept over the middle-aged man sleeping on the ground, could it be that this drunkard was the legendary master inksmith?

"Huh, you're not here to ask for a debt?"

The boy's startled appearance was very funny, but in order not to irritate the boy, Chen Yuan still forced a smile and said, "Of course we are not here to ask for debts. Child, you see I have answered a question for you, according to the principle of fairness, should you tell me if this is a master smelter?"

With Chen Yuan coming forward to negotiate, Xing Lao was also happy, and when he saw Chen Yuan chatting with the boy, he walked aside and looked around.

From the boy's words, Chen Yuan learned that the uncle who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead was named Ye Tiange, and he was also the boy's father.

However, according to what the boy said, in the past four or five years, in addition to drinking, Ye Tiange would only create some ordinary weapons such as swords, and as for high-end goods like Mobao, there was not even a shadow. The knocking sound that Chen Yuan heard outside the store just now was made by the little boy in front of him.

"Brother, look, this is what I made with my own hands, isn't it very majestic?" It was rare to meet a man who could say it, and the boy excitedly showed his treasure to Chen Yuan, but it was a bronze knife only the size of a palm, perhaps, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a dagger.

"Xiao Chi, your father ......" is the boy's nickname, and his full name is Ye Moxibustion Chi, so Chen Yuan called him Xiao Chi. Chen Yuan originally wanted to ask when Ye Tiange would wake up, but when he saw that the drunk ghost on the ground was opening his eyes at this time and looking at him with a confused expression, Chen Yuan swallowed back the words that had already reached his mouth.

"Master Ye?" Chen Yuan asked tentatively, blinking. You must know that drunk people are the most unreasonable, and God knows if this supposedly master inksmith will also be a master when he gets drunk. Well, thinking of this, Chen Yuan moved back without a trace, the drunk man couldn't be provoked, so it was safer to stay away.

"Who are you, the one who asks for debts? There is no money, you can look at the weapons hanging outside and take a few pieces yourself. ”

Chen Yuan covered his head, with a black line on his face. Although this master of Yetiange seems to have come to his senses, which is a good thing, but is he so like a debtor? The son is like this, and the father is like this, can he still have a good time?

"Father, they are not here to ask for debts. ”

"Isn't it? So what are they doing?"

"I don't know, yes, big brother, since you're not here to ask for debts, then what are you doing here?"

Looking at Xiao Qi's innocent eyes, Chen Yuan really couldn't bear to complain, you are a master ink craftsman, right? What else can people do when they come to you besides building ink treasures? What is the situation that makes you think that the one who came to you is here to ask for debts?

......

After some explanations, the drunkard finally believed that Chen Yuan was not asking for debts, which made Chen Yuan breathe a sigh of relief, which was gratifying.

"Ye Tiange?" Xing Lao seemed to have finished visiting, and just when he saw that the middle-aged man was sober, he walked over and asked.

"That's right, I'm Ye Tiange, I don't know if you're always there?" Maybe for the sake of Xing Lao's age, Ye Tiange rarely stood up, you know, when I talked to Chen Yuan just now, this thing has been lying on the ground.

"Master Ye, Jiu Yang, this is the old man's apprentice, Chen Yuan, you call him Xiao Chen, as for the old man...... Ahem, if the master doesn't mind, the old man calls himself an old brother?" said Xing Lao tentatively.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan pursed his lips on the side, very unhappy. What's wrong with the apprentice, the apprentice has no human rights? However, the arm can't twist the thigh, so Xiao Chen will be Xiao Chen.

Not to mention that Chen Yuan was full of complaints on his side, on the other side, Xing Lao and Ye Tiange had a hot chat.

"Master Ye, the old man and the apprentice are here, but they have something to ask for. Xing Lao was not ambiguous, and took the opportunity to fully explain the purpose of coming here, "Master Su Wenye has extraordinary skills, and I hope Master Ye can make a move." ”

After speaking, Xing Lao took out three rolls of animal skin sealed with golden string from his arms, and handed them to Ye Tiange.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tiange didn't even look at it, so he shook his head and refused.

"Master Ye, there is a question I wanted to ask just now, as a master, you are a master-level ink craftsman, that is, you can create one or two ink treasures at will, and there are so many people rushing to ask for them, why are you ......" Chen Yuan was afraid of the other party's face, but he didn't continue.

"Haha, boy, you're trying to say, why do I still owe a lot of debt?

Chen Yuan's face was full of black lines, he didn't expect to be despised, but from Ye Tiange's expression, he couldn't see anything embarrassing, could he be wrong?

"Then why are you ......?" Curiosity arose, and seeing that Ye Tiange was quite bold, Chen Yuan directly asked the question in his heart.

"Well, let's start from ten years ago. Just as Chen Yuan imagined, Ye Tiange talked about the reason for this very cheerfully, "At that time, I just broke through the shackles and stepped into the threshold of the master level. Hehe, I was exactly thirty-three years old that year, and I was a master inksmith under the age of forty, what a majesty. Speaking of this, Ye Tiange's eyes were a little confused, as if he was recalling the grand occasion at that time, but soon his eyes returned to clarity, and he had obviously walked out of the memories of the past, "After that, in order to refine my skills, I bid farewell to my master, and while I went out to travel, I learned from the skilled inksmiths I met on the way. That's three years. It was in the third year that I met the child's mother, a woman with a gentle personality. ”

Ye Tiange touched Xiao Qi's hair, his eyes were as gentle as water. This gentleness is to Xiao Chi, or the gentle woman in his memory, maybe he can't even tell himself.

"Qi Niang's father was a clever blacksmith, and the weapons he created were a few points inferior to some low-grade ink treasures in terms of sharpness alone. If I can barely be called a master in this skill, then Chi Niang's father can be called a real grandmaster when it comes to weapon building. ”

Ye Tiange said this, but he stopped, and instead asked Xiao Qi to go to the street to buy some food and come back.

After Xiao Qi went out, Ye Tiange continued: "At that time, I fell in love with Qi Niang at first sight, and Qi Niang's father didn't make it difficult after learning about it, but just asked me to prepare enough courtesies. A year later, Chi Niang gave birth to Xiao Chi. Then, I took their mother and son back to their hometown to meet Master. Speaking of this, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared on Ye Tiange's face, and his voice became a little lower, "Unexpectedly, when we came back, Qi Niang's father died at the hands of a foreign race. The reason for this is that in an alien assassination, he died tragically at the hands of an alien race in order to protect a mother and son. Not only Chi Niang's father, but in that attack, more than 300 people died at the hands of aliens on this street alone. At that time, when she heard the bad news, Qi Niang couldn't afford to get sick, and then ...... Alas"

Ye Tiange didn't say it, but Chen Yuan could roughly guess it. The mother who wanted to come to Xiao Chi should have died of illness.

"Before his death, Qi Niang's father once thought about creating a weapon that could be used by ordinary people to kill aliens. This was discovered by me and Chi Niang from a scroll he left behind when we were collecting his relics. From then on, I vowed to carry on my father-in-law's legacy and build a weapon that could be used by ordinary people and capable of killing aliens. Until I build this weapon, I'm sorry, but I can't be distracted from crafting any more inks. ”

After listening to Ye Tiange's words, Xing Lao was silent, and any words were pale to this master who shouldered the legacy of the dead. However, there was only one master inksmith that Xing Lao heard about, and what he needed could only be created by such a master-level inksmith. Don't...... Elder Xing glanced at Chen Yuan, did he want to let this talented apprentice go to waste like this?

Unlike Xing Lao, although Chen Yuan was a little disappointed because he failed to see the production process of Mobao, he was more of a respect for Ye Tiange. Not everyone can abandon fame and fortune for the sake of an ideal that seems impossible to achieve.

As for the purpose of this trip, what should I do if I can't get the Dao pen back and can't recover it? Chen Yuan said that there is no problem, the Dao pen or something, compared with such a great Chengruo, it is scum and not worth mentioning.

"Master Ye, then why did you ...... just now?" Chen Yuan suddenly thought that when he came in just now, this person was very drunk, like that, he didn't look like a person who could do such a great thing, "Also, as soon as Xiao Qi saw us just now, he thought that we were here to ask for debts, Master Ye," Chen Yuan's eyes were like knives, falling on Ye Tiange's face, "Do you owe a lot of money?

Chen Yuan stabilized like this, and the scene was embarrassing.

Not only did Ye Tiange's face become unsightly, but even Xing Lao's face darkened. Just now, when Chen Yuan was halfway through his question, Xing Lao felt bad, and kept giving Chen Yuan a look and asking him not to ask, but he never thought that Chen Yuan directly ignored his hint and asked in a fit of anger.

"Alas, in fact, there is nothing bad to say," being stared at by Chen Yuan, Ye Tiange did not get angry, but sighed and explained the reason, "A few years before Qi Niang died, I did as I swore to devote all my energy to the research and development of weapons, and this was a year. That's when I realized that it was too difficult to create a weapon that could be easily used by ordinary people and that could kill aliens. I've experimented with all kinds of materials, from pure gold, to bronze, special wood, the bones of exotic beasts, and all kinds of exotic stones. Ye Tiange laughed and laughed at himself, "It's not a big deal, except for those legendary divine materials, I have tried all the materials that can be obtained, but none of them can meet my requirements." ”

"It's painful...... , hehe!" Ye Tiange was smiling on his face, but he couldn't see the slightest smile in his eyes.

Chen Yuan's eyes were slightly dark, he didn't know which book he had seen it from, saying that there are eight sufferings in life, namely birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and separation, five yin and blazing, and unbelievable. If Ye Tiange is like this, it can be regarded as unbelievable! Because he can't ask for it, he will be depressed! Because he can't ask for it, he will indulge in bitter wine! Because he can't ask for it, he will let it go back and forth! Ye Tiange didn't forget his oath with his deceased wife, nor did he not think that he could rely on building Mobao to get money, he just didn't want to, he didn't want to.

"Lao Ye, it's not good, it's not good, the chime boy was caught by the third master's men. said that I want you to take the money to ransom people, otherwise you will ...... the chime boy" A figure rushed in, and as he spoke, he was about to pull the heavenly revolution.

"Let's go!" Ye Tiange didn't say a word, but grabbed the hand of the future person, and rushed out, and when he went out, he didn't forget to take off a refined copper machete from the wall.

After a while, the two masters and apprentices, Xing Lao and Chen Yuan, looked at each other, unable to speak, and in the end, Chen Yuan couldn't stand it and said, "Why don't we take a look too?"

Xing Lao nodded, and the two of them inquired all the way, looking in the direction of Ye Tiange.

......

On the other side of Shanlan City, in a luxurious attic, three young people in gorgeous clothes were talking.

"Brother Gongye, this is Lan Qingyuan, the eldest son of General Lan," the person who spoke had a handsome face, a faint glint flashing in his eyes, and at first glance he was not an ordinary person, "Brother Qingyuan, this is Gongye Feng, the eldest son of the Gongye family." It's rare for Brother Gongye to come this time, Brother Qingyuan, you have to entertain him well, if you can't satisfy Brother Gongye, I will be angry. ”

"But!" Lan Qingyuan's indifferent face was not wavering, it was just a word, but it made Du Changtian, who was the middleman, breathe a sigh of relief.

Du Changtian didn't care about Lan Qingyuan, but turned his head to Gongye Feng and said, "Brother Gongye, he is like this, don't worry, with him, everything is fine." After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Gongye Feng and made a grimace.

Gongye Feng knew his friend's temper for a long time, so naturally he would not be angry, he arched his hand to Lan Qingyuan, and said: "Brother Lan, this time I came here, but I wanted to find someone, but I don't know where to start, I don't know if Brother Lan can ......."

"Name!" is still a stiff tone, but there is a hint of indifference.

A hint of coldness suddenly flashed in Gongye Feng's eyes, and he said word by word: "Ye Tiange!"
