Chapter 543: The Wanderer Returns to His Hometown, Things Are Not People [6000 Words]
Qian Chaoguang showed a smile and nodded slightly at him: "Uncle Tie, it's been a long time." ”
Huo Yutong also showed a smile and said sweetly: "Uncle Tie, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
The middle-aged man touched his big bald head and said with a look of surprise: "Good girl, it's really the two of you?" Six or seven years have passed, and they have all become big girls and boys! I almost didn't even recognize it. As soon as you two look at the outfit, you know that you have been mixing well over the years! Okay, boy! ”
Qian Chaoguang smiled and said: "It's okay, we went to the academy to study successfully, and now our brother and sister can be regarded as staying in the school and doing some small business by the way." ”
Tie Yong patted Qian Chaoguang's shoulder and praised again and again: "Okay, it's good, it's good, it's very strong." My dad still talks about you a lot over the years, always thinking about how you're doing outside. Now that I have seen it for the old man, he can rest assured that he is in the heavens. How's that, this iron-striking craft hasn't been left behind, has it? ”
Huo Yutong smiled: "Of course not, Uncle Tie, you don't know, now my brother is already a formal teacher in the academy, and the main thing he teaches is this forging craft." ”
"Haha, that's a good feeling! If you can teach forging in the Soul Master Academy, then you kid is really good! It's also a name for yourself! ”
Looking at Tie Yong, who laughed, Qian Chaoguang couldn't help but ripple in his heart.
Things are not people, nothing more than this.
The blacksmith shop of the past is still there, and the sound of tinkling forging has not stopped, but the person standing in that position is no longer the familiar person.
"Uncle Tie, do you have time at noon? How about we have a meal together? I heard that a new gluttonous restaurant has opened in the city, and it tastes surprisingly good. ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand again and again: "You can pull it down quickly, your Uncle Tie is not that empty now, I have the heart." No, I don't know what happened to Emperor Lao Tzu recently, I just received a big order for forging a stomach for the army, and I rotated every day, and I was so busy that I was about to kick the back of my head with my heel. ”
As he was talking, Tie Yong turned his head coldly, and immediately scolded angrily: "Little rabbit cub, you put it down for Lao Tzu!" Is lapis lazuli iron forged like that? You're going to be wasted! ”
Seeing this posture, Qian Chaoguang shook his head and laughed secretly.
This scene is so familiar, when he was learning to black, he was not less educated by the old man Tie.
Seeing the busy scene in the blacksmith shop, Qian Chaoguang reached out and touched the storage belt hidden on his waist, and said, "Uncle Tie, then you are busy first, let's not bother first, we will get together again when we are free." After you've been busy for a while, can't you be unappreciative? ”
"Definitely, definitely!"
Tie Yong smiled on his face, and he had already begun to pick up the forging hammer in his hand.
Except for Huo Yutong, what everyone didn't notice was that just as Qian Chaoguang turned around, a golden light came out of his hand and landed firmly in the leather bag on Tie Yong's waist.
In the evening, when Tie Yong was finishing his busy day and was sorting out his miscellaneous items and preparing to go home to sleep, a small golden object in his pocket caught his attention.
It's a golden token half the size of a palm.
On the front is carved a long knife with a cold light, embedded in silver metal, and the technique is extremely superb.
On the back, a blue-gold eye carved with azure gemstones is carved into a blue-gold eye, as deep as a star.
He scratched his big bald head, took it out, and held it in his hand.
When he saw the material of the token, Tie Yong covered his mouth and used all his strength to control it, so that he didn't let himself scream.
This token is actually made of the finest solar adamantite gold.
Isn't that long knife with cold light shimmering to be so precious that it is worth grams, what is frost titanium?
The fine moire around is a more gorgeous red spirit warm jade, which has an incomparably warm feeling in the hand.
Of course, the main thing is not these, but the azure eyes on the back of the token.
Isn't that flawless azure gemstone the most precious star sapphire among gemstones?
Oh, my God......
Who is so extravagant that they use so many top-notch materials just to create this little token?
Tie Yong held the token in his hand, feeling his hands tremble.
This is not just a token, this is also the most top-notch storage soul guide!
Although Tie Yong is not a high-level soul master, as a great soul master, he can still recognize the storage soul guide.
He himself has a storage bracelet with a cubic meter of space inside, which was bought by the Iron Old Man when he was young.
However, such a golden little thing was enough to buy his entire blacksmith shop, and even enough land with it.
Tie Yong swallowed, quickly closed and locked the door of the blacksmith shop, and sat down against the door with the golden token.
As he poured his soul power into the token, he felt his heart pounding violently, almost pounding out of his chest.
The twenty cubic meters of storage space inside almost didn't let Tie Yong pull it over.
Previously, he had estimated that it was less.
Isn't that enough to buy his blacksmith shop?
It's enough to buy a street!
Tie Yong tried to calm his mood before taking out the contents of the storage soul guide.
There weren't many things in it, just four.
A thick book with the words on the cover: "Spiritual Forging Method" - the original copy of the xxx academy xxx library pavilion.
Tie Yong looked hard at the light of the soul guide lamp for a long time, but he couldn't see what was written on the scribbled handwriting.
Two metal ingots that look like lapis lazuli iron, but don't quite look like them.
The two pieces of metal are written separately - Thousand Forging, Spirit Forging.
These two metal ingots, like this book, made Tie Yong a little confused.
So, he looked at the last thing.
The other thing was a letter written on a metal plate, which seemed to have been carved in a carved manner.
The letter was very short, barely a few lines in total.
It reads: "In the Pixiu Soul Guide Store, Gluttonous Restaurant, and Gluttonous Hotel, show this Soul Guide token to any steward, and any consumption will be discounted by 5%. If you have any difficulties, you can go to any Pixiu Soul Guide Store, Gluttonous Restaurant, Gluttonous Hotel, and Pixiu Chamber of Commerce branch to seek help in the same way. ”
That night, Tie Yong had a very rare insomnia.
Or rather, he didn't even think he should go to sleep.
He spent the night in the blacksmith's shop, and read the book that was written "Spiritual Forging Method" all night.
He was fascinated by the contents.
By the time the blacksmith shop opened in the morning, he was still in a trance, unable to believe that everything that had happened last night was true.
The golden soul guide token was hung around his neck by him, and he wanted to touch it a few times from time to time to see if it was a dream.
Whether it was what was written in the book, or the two metal ingots he had seen, he suddenly opened his mouth, and seemed to have a new understanding of forging.
In the evening, when he was sent out of the door with an extremely enthusiastic smile from the splendid Pixiu Soul Guide Store, Tie Yong truly felt the huge energy contained in this storage soul guide token.
It can make the Soul Emperor and Soul Saint level powerhouses greet them with a smile and receive them with the highest standard VIP treatment, which is simply something that they can't even dream of.
Tie Yong, who returned home, clutched the token around his neck, as if he suddenly understood something.
His eyes were full of incredulity and disbelief, and he muttered in a low voice, "Chaoguang, Xiaotong, you really have a reputation......
"Crunch ......"
In a residential area of Star Luo City, a courtyard gate that had been sealed in dust for six years was opened today.
The courtyard is not large, and the interior seems empty.
Except for a few stone locks and some large barbell pieces carved from stone, there are no other furnishings in the courtyard.
The doors of the huts were still tightly closed, but the chains were covered with dust.
Everything was exactly the same as it was before leaving.
Qian Chaoguang waved his hand lightly, and a holy light cleansing technique swept out, and the entire courtyard suddenly took on a new look.
Whether inside or outside the house, all the dust was enveloped in this holy light, condensed into a small ball of earth, and was thrown out of the door.
"It's been six years......"
Huo Yutong muttered in his mouth, stepped forward slowly, and grabbed the lock on his door.
Just as she pulled out the key and was about to push the door open to take a look, a noise on the roof suddenly caught her attention.
It seemed to be the subtle snapping sound of a tile being touched.
Just as the two of them looked up, a small, round, fluffy white head suddenly appeared.
It's a big white cat.
"Meow ......"
Immediately afterwards, the tiles on the side of the wall also began to rattle, much more pronounced than before.
Another earthy yellow head was also exposed, and when he saw the two of them, he was stunned for a moment, and let out a full "Wang", showing full doubt.
But soon, its nose twitched, its eyes suddenly showed joy, and it howled and jumped down from the high wall.
While circling around the thousand rays, he wagged his tail happily, and from time to time he raised his front paws and stuck out his tongue, as if he wanted to put it on his body.
Qian Chaoguang touched its head, took out a piece of cooked meat from the storage soul guide and stuffed it into its mouth.
"Rhubarb, six years have passed, and you are also old, and you still like to take Xiaobai over the wall so much."
The big white cat on the roof saw that Rhubarb was eating, hesitated, jumped down, and fell into Huo Yutong's arms.
Compared with dogs, as a cat, Xiaobai is much more cautious.
sniffed Huo Yutong's body for a long time, and then finally determined that it was his old neighbor who came back, and stretched out his soft little tongue to lick her.
Huo Yutong gently scratched the chin of the big white cat, listened to the purring voice, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Xiaobai, I'm afraid it's time to call you Dabai now." ”
The Si people are gone, but the animal friends of the past are still alive in this world.
I have to say that this is also a kind of luck.
The appearance of Xiaobai and Rhubarb finally evoked some happy memories in the hearts of the two, and blew away a lot of dullness for the two who felt sorry for Tie Lao's death.
Looking at the rhubarb and snoring Xiaobai who were gobbling up, Qian Chaoguang was more emotional in his heart.
The life span of animals is shorter than that of humans.
Six years have passed, and the years have left more obvious mottled marks on their bodies.
Next time, I'm afraid they will turn into a handful of loess, right?
At the time of parting, a cat and a dog sat honestly in the courtyard, watching the departure of the two old friends, Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong.
Qian Chaoguang smiled and shook his head.
With a flick of his fingers, two wisps of life energy soaked in his soul power breath sank into the bodies of the two little guys, instantly making their vitality much more vigorous.
It is very difficult to prolong the life of a person.
But if you want the critter to live for two more years, it's just a snap of your fingers.
Hopefully the next time you come back, the two of you will still be there.
Thinking so, Qian Zhaoguang closed the door of this small courtyard again and hung a big lock.
......
The next morning, a cool breeze blows through this ancient 10,000-year-old giant city, bringing a new breath of life to the people living inside.
On a hill fifty miles northwest of Star Luo City, a group of three people were climbing on foot towards the top of the mountain.
It is very close to the location of the White Tiger Duke's Palace, and it is one of the few hilly areas around.
Although it is a bleak autumn breeze, there is still a sense of life on this hill.
Under the clear blue sky, the whole hill is mainly golden yellow, dotted with red and green, and the intertwined tricolor spreads from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then spreads out in all directions.
Walking in the mountains, the leaves are rolling with the morning dew, shining with the warm glow cast by the sun.
"This is where you have lived since you were a child......" The tall Qian Duoduo pulled away the dead branches that stood in the way, and said with emotion, "I really didn't expect that the two of you would have such a background, and they were actually from the famous White Tiger Duke's Mansion." At that time, if Dai Hao knew, he didn't know how to feel. ”
Huo Yutong, who was lively in the past, is unusually today, and looks a little dull.
She said sullenly: "No matter what he thinks, it won't help, from today onwards, my brother and I will no longer have anything to do with the White Tiger Duke." ”
"Yes."
Qian Duoduo stirred up his soul power again, and swept away a few dead branches and leaves along a path where some traces could still be faintly seen.
"By the way, aren't you really going to make the scene bigger? Chaoguang, your men and horses should not even be able to beat the white tiger guards, right? ”
Qian Chaoguang waved his hand: "Private matters are handled privately, after all, the identities of me and Xiaotong are here, and after it is bigger, both the academy and Xingluo will be embarrassed." From my intentions, I don't approve of you even coming with us, which may cause a lot of trouble for the Academy. ”
Qian Duoduo snorted vigorously: "What's not troublesome, bullshit." Our Shrek tradition is to protect the short! The two of you are a member of the Poseidon Pavilion and a future pavilion master of the Poseidon Pavilion, if this kind of identity is not worthy of the academy, then wouldn't our Shrek become a wreck? ”
"Besides, even if there is no relationship with the academy, as a teacher of the two of you, it is only natural for me to accompany you, even if he Xu Jiawei can't say anything."
"What's the matter, I'm a dignified Super Douluo, the first ninth-level soul master in the Three Kingdoms of Douluo, do I still have a problem accompanying my apprentice back home? Even if I admit that I am here to give you a platform, then what can he do to me? ”
"Okay, okay, no problem."
Listening to Qian Duoduo's aggressive and domineering words, Qian Chaoguang showed a helpless smile.
Regarding this return to the Duke's Palace, Qian Chaoguang originally didn't want to involve Shrek.
It's best to do things privately.
As mentioned earlier, we are already in a sensitive period of confrontation with the Sun and Moon Empire.
The identities of the two brothers and sisters, Dai Hao, and the Duchess are extremely sensitive, so try not to alarm too many people.
The Pixiu Chamber of Commerce is even worse.
If a group of soul masters are dragged to seek revenge with great fanfare, wouldn't it be clear that the Sun and Moon Empire would have an inseparable relationship with Shrek?
A lot of hard work has been put into the air.
But in any case, as the two of them are important members of the Seagod Pavilion, this kind of thing that may affect the relationship between the two forces must be informed to Xuan Lao.
When Xuan Lao learned about this, he didn't stop it, and he didn't ask too much about it.
He simply said three words: "When are you going?" Do you need the academy to come forward to give you a platform? Don't worry about doing it boldly, the academy supports you in revenge. ”
In such a situation, of course, there is no need for Shrek to come forward, and Qian Chaoguang does not want Shrek to come forward.
The feud is Huo Yutong and the Duchess.
It makes sense that he went with him as a partner.
Qian Duoduo accompanied them as the teacher of the two, and he was also famous.
After wasting a lot of energy, and finally rejecting the kindness of many elders of the Seagod Pavilion, the three masters and apprentices embarked on a journey to Star Luo City.
Walking in the mountains, looking at the grass and trees that were once familiar, but have changed a little, the brother and sister were very emotional.
Before they entered Shrek, they had spent a long time on this hill.
This is not only the place where they grew up, but also carries countless good memories for them.
Even if they didn't use their soul power, with the foot power of the three of them, they quickly arrived where they were looking for.
In the distance, two stone tombstones, which were not too tall, but carved squarely, appeared in their field of vision.
The tombstone is about one meter high, and it is carved from the most ordinary bluestone.
The surrounding area was overgrown with lush weeds, almost completely covering the two tombs, and it seemed that no one had visited for a long time.
There was no frills, just lines of handwriting clearly by two different carvers.
The tombstone on the left is slightly older.
It has been neglected to maintain it for several years, and it has already had some mottled traces.
With a flick of his right hand, countless holy flames spread out, burning all the weeds around him, revealing the original appearance of the tomb.
Looking at the tombstone, Huo Yutong's eyes instantly moistened, and she took a few steps forward, and the handwriting on the tombstone was clearly presented in front of her eyes.
Huo Yun'er's tomb - the daughter, Huo Yutong.
This tombstone was carved by the old housekeeper for Huo Yun'er during his lifetime, and the handwriting engraved on it is vigorous and powerful, but it is also agile and elegant.
Huo Yutong's eyes suddenly burst into mist, and he slowly knelt down in front of his mother's tomb.
Tears poured out uncontrollably.
She fell in front of her mother's tombstone and wept bitterly.
"Mommy, Mommy! I'm back, I'm coming to see you! ”
After many years away, she finally returned.
Over the years, in order to become strong, she has forgotten to sleep and eat, and almost never rested.
She didn't even dare to think about what her mother was like when she was alive.
More than six years have passed, and she has also grown from a young child to a soul saint-level powerhouse of the twin martial souls, one of the elders of the Seagod Pavilion, and a famous person on the mainland.
Compared with the past, it can be called a complete difference.
For a long time, Huo Yutong's greatest wish was to avenge his mother, so that Dai Hao, the Duke of the White Tiger, knelt down in front of his mother's grave and repented.
Today, she's finally back!
The longing for my mother and the sadness in my heart kept pouring out, and the tears turned into endless silk threads, swaying in front of the mottled tombstones.
Qian Duoduo strode forward, saluted each of the two tombstones, and then squatted beside Huo Yutong, gently patting her back.
Not far to the right of Huo Yun'er's tomb, the handwriting on another tombstone looked a little immature, but with a certain extremely unwilling belief.
Zhu Qichen's tomb - grandson, a thousand chaoguang.
Qian Chaoguang stepped forward, took out the cloth and water from the heavy silver storage bracelet, carefully wiped the mud on the tombstone, and then slightly polished it with coarse salt, making the entire tombstone look new.
Then, he took out the cinnabar and brush he had prepared in advance, and retraced the handwriting on the tombstone.
Reaching out again, a few delicate and green new branches were inserted into the grave, and a bouquet of chrysanthemums was placed next to it.
After doing all this, Qian Chaoguang respectfully knelt down in front of the tombstone and knocked three times.
Get up, kneel again, and knock again.
Get up again, kneel again, knock again.
After the nine kowtows, Qian Chaoguang did not stand up again this time, but knelt in front of the grave in a proper manner.
"Grandpa, the unfilial grandson is back to see you!"
Huo Yutong's side was doing almost the same thing in the company of Qian Duoduo.
Sweep the mother's grave and offer the sacrifices prepared in advance.
Qian Chaoguang took out a small and delicate incense burner from the agarwood bracelet, placed it securely in front of the tribute, and respectfully lit the three incense sticks.
"Grandpa, I'm back, I've brought the little boy back. Now, the two of us have come together. Rest assured, everything is fine with us. ”
"We also lived up to your expectations, not only entered Shrek Academy, but also entered Shrek's inner courtyard and became a member of Poseidon Pavilion."
"The Pixiu Chamber of Commerce that I established single-handedly has become one of the top chambers of commerce in the Douluo Continent, sitting on hundreds of billions of wealth and being rich enough to rival the country, you don't have to worry about money anymore."
"The spirit forging method I created has become a compulsory course for Shrek's soul master. In the future, the profession of forging master will definitely become the top of the continent, side by side with soul master. ”
"Your grandson, I'm not ashamed of you."
