Chapter 33: Zhong Ling's Spear Chapter 6 "The Cycle of Cause and Effect"
It was the 12th day of the fifth month of the year 189 C.E.
Even the bitter cold land of Liaodong is already grass growing, and the warm sun is shining. The bald bulbul cries non-stop on the branches, and its voice is tactful and beautiful.
But at this time, there was a pretty woman leaning in front of the Liaodong County Mansion, listening to the birdsong, she only felt upset and restless, this person was Huo Qianning.
Since Tong Ruo left Xiangping, she has been looking at the door every day, but she has never seen Tong Ruo's return.
At this moment, she was extremely irritable, and it was difficult to wait like this anymore, and when she remembered that day Tian Zhe wanted to kill Li Zijie with a plum blossom dart and frame herself, she felt even more anxious.
"Miss Huo, hasn't Master Tong arrived yet?" Xie Wenyan slowly walked over and asked.
If Huo Qianning had been able to find Xie Wenyan in normal times, she would have been able to find Xie Wenyan a long time ago, but at this time, she was disturbed, and she didn't come to her senses until Xie Wenyan spoke.
Huo Qianning frowned and shook his head.
Xie Wenyan sighed: "The army is about to set off tomorrow, and Master Tong has not returned yet, which is really worrying!" ”
When Huo Qianning heard this, her heart became even more anxious, so she said, "I'll go find him and come back!" ”
"How can you go as a woman?"
Huo Qianning sneered and said: "Sir, don't underestimate me, I think I have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, but I have taught others to suffer from me, what else is not worrying about Sir?" ”
Xie Wenyan said in his heart: "Now that the war is about to start, all the generals are shouldering the heavy responsibility of fighting the enemy, and it is difficult to draw out manpower to find Master Tong again. ”
Thinking of this, Xie Wenyan nodded, arched his hand, and said: "The girl doesn't let the girl have eyebrows, I really admire it, and I also ask the girl to find Master Tong as soon as possible, so as not to make any big mess in the county!" ”
Xie Wenyan has always been observant of people and things, and since he ran away that day, he vaguely felt that there would be chaos in the county. Huo Qianning changed into civilian clothes and resigned from Xie Wenyan.
Xie Wenyan looked at Huo Qianning's back in front of the door, stood for a long time, shook his head, and sighed to himself: "Children of the rivers and lakes." ”
Huo Qianning galloped quickly, passing through Xinchang and Pingguo Counties, passing by a blacksmith shop in Pingguo County, and suddenly remembered in his heart that he had handed over the piece of Alien Meteorfall to this craftsman with Tong Ruo and asked him to build a spear, and now that so much time has passed, but I don't know how it was cast.
At that moment, he reined in the horse, tied the horse to the door of the blacksmith shop, and walked into the house, but saw a tall and white-bearded craftsman get up to greet him, this craftsman recognized Huo Qianning, such a beautiful woman would never be seen again in this life, how could he not know.
The craftsman said: "Girl, you are here, and Master Tong also came a few days ago." ”
Huo Qianning said: "Has he been here?" ”
"Yes, at that time, this gun was still almost finished, and I told Mr. Tong that it would take two days for this gun to be made, and Mr. Tong seemed to have something urgent to do, so he left in a hurry."
"Hmm," Huo Qianning responded.
"This meteorite is really the most precious and difficult treasure iron I have ever seen in my life, and I spent more than a month ...... it with my friends," the blacksmith said eloquently.
Huo Qianning didn't have the time to listen to him talk about these things that he didn't know, so he interrupted him immediately and said, "This gun can be made now?" ”
"That's it! All right! The blacksmith didn't even fall, but changed his words and said, "I don't know if the girl still wants to write on this gun." ”
Huo Qianning said in his heart: "All treasures always have to be mentioned, otherwise they will lose a little bit of preciousness and aura." ”
Then he said: "Naturally, you want to write an inscription?" ”
"I don't know what to inscribe?"
Huo Qianning thought to herself: "I don't know what words Tong Gongzi wants to inscribe, if I inscribe on it, will he often remember me when he uses a gun?" ”
After hesitating for a moment, Huo Qianning immediately asked people to take out pen and ink, and immediately wrote two words on the silk.
The craftsman brought the gun, only to see him carrying the gun in both hands, his body bowed, obviously this gun is quite heavy, if it is not for the perennial martial arts and strong people must be difficult to wield.
The craftsman put the gun on the table, and Huo Qianning saw the whole picture of the gun clearly, the body of the gun was like frost and snow, and the cold light faintly flowed out of the eyes.
The handle of the gun is carved with a dragon and a phoenix, showing its majesty, the edge of the gun is flashing, it is really a blade like autumn frost, and the head of the gun is embellished with red tassels, which complement each other.
Huo Qianning was stunned and well-informed, and when she saw this gun, she couldn't help but admire: "Good gun!" ”
The craftsman took out dozens of small chisels of different sizes, and then took out charcoal fire and a viscous liquid made of unknown material and put them on the table for preparation, and then found a chair to sit down, imitating the handwriting on Huo Qianning's silk, and carefully outlined.
While carving, he also introduced: "This gun weighs seventy-two pounds, is seven feet eight inches long, blows hair and breaks hair, and the complexity of the hand craftsmanship is the first time I have seen ...... in my life."
Huo Qianning waited anxiously on the side to hear this, and only hoped that Tong Ruo would be well, and then he was willing to return to Liaodong County with her.
It took two hours to engrave these two small characters.
When everything was in order, Huo Qianning paid the craftsman a few more silver taels, and the craftsman put the spear into the gun bag and hung it on the horse's back.
Huo Qianning hurriedly embarked on the trip.
At noon the next day, there was a person kneeling on the muddy path in front of the Li Mansion, this person was Tong Ruo, he had been kneeling here for a day and a night, his heart was extremely sad, even if he was tired, he did not move half a step.
After Li Zijie took Li Yan back to the house, Li Yan was unconscious and found a doctor, but the doctor was helpless and prescribed some medicine, only saying, "May Li Laoji people have their own natural appearance, as for whether it can be good, it all depends on creation." ”
At this time, Tian Zhe came into the house and comforted: "Senior sister, you have been here for a day and a night, and you have just recovered from a serious illness!" How can you stand this kind of toss, let's rest. ”
When Li Zijie heard this, she just shook her head and didn't say a word. His expression was full of endless grief.
This is a servant knocked on the door and came in, and said: "Miss, this boy has been kneeling outside for a day and a night, and he won't eat anything I give him...... That's not to hurt all of us. ”
When Li Zijie heard this, her face was embarrassed, she already had a deep love for Tong Ruo, and she remembered that her father said that she would marry herself to him, and she couldn't bear it.
Considering that his father was hurt by him, he really couldn't pull his face to see him, so he said, "I'll go and see!" ”
As he spoke, he went out with the servant, and walked away, and only Tian Zhe was in the house at this time.
He suddenly heard a light cough, and knew that this was a sign that Li Yan's body was improving, and he was overjoyed, and he hurriedly knelt down in front of the couch and said, "Master! Master!"
At this time, Li Yan said slightly: "Zhe'er, where is Zijie?" ”
"Tong Ziling is outside the door, she has gone to see him."
Li Yan only felt that he couldn't breathe, took a deep breath and said, "You go and find them, I have something important to say." ”
When Tian Zhe heard this, he got up and was about to go out, but after thinking about it, he thought about it for a while, and then said, "Master doesn't know what to do with them?" ”
Li Yan's breath was weak, his voice was extremely low, and he said slowly: "I want to finalize the marriage between the two of them, so as to warn my junior brother's spirit in the sky." ”
When Tian Zhe heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and thought, "Master, doesn't you know my friendship for my junior sister?" Why do you love Tong Ruo, my father also died because of Tong Ruo, why do you still like him! What the hell am I inferior to him! Why! Why!! ”
Thinking of this, a terrifying thought came to his mind, he glanced at the surroundings and no one else, and then looked at Li Yan's extremely weak condition, lowered his head, showed his evil spirit, and pulled out the pillow from under Li Yan's head.
Li Yan was startled, and before he could make a sound, the pillow had already covered his mouth and nose, but he was a peerless martial artist, but he was seriously injured and could not perform it.
is already extremely weak, coupled with this experience, how can there be a way to live.
It only took a moment of hard work, and then he died, so far a generation of martial arts hero "Halberd King" Li Yan came to an end, but unfortunately, until the last moment of his life, he failed to complete the long-cherished wish of Li Yan and Tong Yuan.
I still remember the two heroes, what they said in the Liaodong competition.
"You and I have been fighting all our lives, and we must be superior in everything, but I beg future generations to stop fighting each other!"
"Your daughter and my second son have made a marriage contract and become husband and wife, so they will not fight."
"That's a good talk!"
It's just a pity that the cycle of cause and effect, future generations, after all, will still embark on the old road of their predecessors!
Tian Zhe saw that Li Yan was no longer breathing, and he couldn't feel relieved, so he covered it for a while before putting the pillow back under Li Yan's head.
Looking at Li Yan in a daze, Tian Zhe slowly shed a tear in his left eye, and he was shocked in his heart: "How can I shed tears." ”
As everyone knows, with this tear left, it was his last remaining conscience.
