Chapter 22: The Story

The next day, Dongzhang still came to the courtyard under the osmanthus tree early in the morning as usual to study and comprehend the Jiuyang Sutra.

After this practice reached the third volume, because the content was really difficult and profound, the progress naturally slowed down, but Dongzhang was not in a hurry, and he was not like other protagonists, either with a blood feud or a hatred for taking his wife, and he was in a hurry to go out with a knife to find someone to duel, which was not the case.

Dongzhang himself came to this world alone, there are few friends, and naturally there is no enemy, and the mentality when he first arrived in this world is different, when he first came to the world, he was a little beggar who was powerless, and he didn't even have a most basic place to live, so he was naturally worried about when he would be clicked away by the catastrophe from the sky.

Now that the gods have just succeeded, the basic self-protection ability must be there, in this town, it is already good not to harm others, and he is only fourteen years old, and he has not completed nine years of compulsory education, and in the next life, he is a member of the funeral love of junior high school, and he is still in an or: I warn you, I am now in the rebellious period, don't mess with me at the age.

Therefore, Dongzhang doesn't care about the progress of his cultivation of the Jiuyang Sutra, his mentality is very Buddhist, he can practice anyway, it is the same day in the morning and in the evening, Dongzhang is in such a leisurely and complacent attitude to go out for a walk after practicing every day.

chatted with the old man Zhang who sold salted fish on the street, and gossiped with Aunt Xu who sold baskets next door, gossiped about whose child was smoked again, etc., in short, the day could be very fulfilling.

That's it, half a month passed quietly.

It was also the day when Dongzhang was going to get the sword, and he got up and ate the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Aunt Liu, Dongzhang first comprehended the Jiuyang Sutra, and then the time unconsciously came to the noon, and told Aunt Liu to go home for dinner for a while, and then got up and walked out of the house.

Teasing the children along the street and chatting with the aunts and aunts in the west, after a while, the blacksmith shop came into view, this time I didn't see the blacksmith man busy working, less of those jingling irons, looking at him with bloodshot eyes and haggard standing on the side of the workbench, as if he was waiting for himself to come.

"Is the sword ready?"

As soon as the two met, Dongzhang asked with a smile.

Dahan turned around and took out a long strip of cloth from behind him, stretched out his hand and handed it to Dongzhang: "Guan has been waiting here for a long time, this is your sword." ”

After taking the long strip of cloth and unbuttoning the rope buckle, Dongzhang took out the dark and handsome steel sword inside, only to see that the hilt and the scabbard seemed to be integrated, the length and width were the same, and the appearance was black and black.

If you don't get closer, it looks like an ordinary wooden stick is inconspicuous, Dongzhang grabbed it in his hand and checked it, the long sword weighs about eleven or twelve catties, which is undoubtedly unqualified in terms of light and fast swordsmanship.

But Dongzhang is quite satisfied, there is no doubt that there is him, because after practicing the Jiuyang Sutra, Dongzhang's body has become different, and this strength is also one of them, so this sword is qualified in Dongzhang's opinion.

Touching the smooth sword body, Dongzhang thumb topped, Zheng!

The sword was unsheathed, and the dazzling cold light came dazzlingly, looking at the streamer on the blade, Dongzhang, who was a complete layman, couldn't help but say: "Good sword." ”

Seeing Dongzhang's satisfied look, Dahan stepped forward and said: "This stainless steel sword is the work that I came out of after fifteen days and nights, and all the production was done by me alone, and I have never faked my hands to others.

The sword body is made of high-quality stainless steel repeatedly hammered, and the scabbard and hilt are also made of the finest ebony wood, except for eating, drinking, and Lazar, I have never slept enough for an hour every day, and I dare not say that this is Guan's most proud work, but this stainless steel sword can definitely rank in the top three in Guan's works, I don't know if the young master is satisfied? ”

After listening to Dahan's statement, Dongzhang put the sword back into its sheath and looked at Dahan with a playful look: "Yes, I am very satisfied with this sword, this is an extra ten taels of silver for you." ”

Throwing twenty taels of silver to Dahan, Dongzhang walked out without looking back, but a bang behind him made Dongzhang stop his figure, this is the sound of the money bag hitting the ground, Dahan did not pick up the money bag thrown by Dongzhang, Dongzhang did not turn around to look, but stood quietly in place, waiting for Dahan's next statement in the corner of his eyes.

Yu Guang saw Dahan pick up the money bag, silently walked to Dongzhang, put the money bag on the table in front of Dongzhang with both hands, and took out a smaller money bag from his arms and pushed it to Dongzhang.

Dahan was not in a hurry to say, but just glanced at Dongzhang and then spoke slowly: "Guan Mou knows that Gongzi must have misunderstood, Guan Mou said how hard he worked and how to make it, he must have blackmailed Gongzi for more money." ”

Dongzhang raised the corner of his eyes and didn't speak, didn't he?

Dahan laughed at himself: "Although I am doing cheap business, I am not completely smoked by the desire for profit. ”

"Dare to ask Childe, you definitely don't make this sword for ornamental use, right?"

Dongzhang still didn't make a sound, but he didn't deny or admit it.

Seeing Dongzhang's silent attitude, Dahan became even more determined, and said with a smile: "Those sons and young masters in the town, I have also made a lot of 'swords' for them, but to be honest, we are in this business."

Those 'swords' can deceive the young master who is not familiar with the world, that is a kind of goods, the gold and jade are defeated on the outside, and they are usually decorated and decorated, filling the faΓ§ade, and they really want to count on those 'swords' to go into battle to kill the enemy, that is absolutely impossible, and the silver spear wax head refers to those 'swords'. ”

Speaking of this, the big man paused, glanced at Dongzhang's slightly raised brows, and said to himself: "But Guan knows that the stainless steel sword in Gongzi's hand is not comparable to those looks. ”

Dahan casually picked up a steel knife on the table, looked at the cold blade and turned his head to look at Dongzhang, and then stared at Dongzhang and said: "The sword in Childe's hand is the real weapon to kill the enemy, the real weapon to kill the enemy, Childe will not just make it and play with decoration at will." ”

Dongzhang of this meeting, there was no expression on his face, but his eyes changed from solemn at the beginning to indifference, and he never opened his mouth from beginning to end, just stood quietly in place and listened to the big man talking.

Realizing the change in Dongzhang's temperament, Dahan was not alarmed, but slowly told a story: "In the past, this town did not belong to Mongolia, but the land of our Great Song Dynasty, and an ordinary family of three lived on the edge of the town.

The husband rests at sunrise and sunset, the wife is at home to take care of the housework, although the days are poor but happy and content, they have a child named Tiger Head, although not very clever but better than the body, there is a wife to take care of everything, the children are rarely sick, the wife never let her husband worry about the details of the house.

The husband is also very relieved to work outside, and handed over the home to his wife unconditionally, no matter how tired he is physically and mentally when he comes home from work every day, seeing the figure at the door of the house, the husband can always give birth to countless strength, for them, for the family. ”

"But even if the days have been so hard, this family of three is still laughing and laughing every day, one day, everything is different, the husband on the way home saw a lot of people riding iron horses, and a lot of people running away, panicked villagers are like livestock beasts being killed at will by people riding iron horses, the streets are full of people's desperate wails and children's cries, and the husband, who has always been calm, panicked."

"He ran in the direction of his memory, his shoes ran off, the person fell, his head broke, because he was in a hurry, panicked, two lines of hot tears unconsciously covered his husband's cheeks, he wanted to shout, but he found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and no sound came out, and finally, he ran to the home in his memory."

Speaking of this, Dongzhang found that the green tendons of the big man's hand holding the steel knife had burst out, but he still continued in a calmer tone:

"The husband came to the house, and saw that the home was still the same home, but the people were no longer the same pair, the body of the tiger head was hung on a spear, yes, he was dead, and the wife fell disheveled at the door of the house, which was the door where she stopped and waited for her husband every day, with a few steel knives stuck in her abdomen, and the direction in which her face was looking was the direction in which her husband returned at sunset every day, but she could no longer call out the husband, she died, and her husband's home was gone......"
