()"This...... .........Master, are you not mistaken?" Nian Bing rubbed his eyes to make sure that he had not misread Cha Ji.

It's no wonder that Nian Bing was so surprised, what was presented in front of him were two doors, to be precise, two somewhat dilapidated wooden doors, there was only one handle left on the door, the paint on the lintel had already peeled off, and there was a sign diagonally placed next to it, which could vaguely be seen that there were five crooked words written on it - parallel ironware shop.

With this name, I'm afraid no one will come to patronize it, not to mention that this shop is still in the middle of a mess, I'm afraid there won't be a few people passing by in a day, and the dilapidated appearance makes Nian Bing have the idea of turning around and leaving.

Cha Ji looked at the signboard in front of him, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, "Old man, I'm coming to see you again." I haven't seen you for a year, I don't know if you're dead. ”

Nian Bing said in surprise: "Master, do you know the master here?"

Cha Ji said: "Of course I know, otherwise, how could I bring you here." Nian Bing, you have to remember that no matter what you do, don't be fooled by the other party's appearance. Although the façade here is not good, but except for me, who knows that there is a master foundry hidden in this so-called parallel ironware shop, the world's number one casting master?"

"The world's number one casting master, master, you're not kidding, if you are really the world's number one casting master, would you live in this kind of place?"

Cha Ji smiled slightly, "Why not? The ghost kitchen can live in the peach blossom forest where birds don't lay eggs, why can't the god cast live in a dilapidated courtyard." Let's go, let's go in first. As he spoke, he pulled Nian Bing to the door, and without knocking, he kicked at the dilapidated wooden door. There was a muffled bang, and although the wooden door looked dilapidated, it was not damaged in Cha Ji's foot, and it slowly opened inward, revealing a small courtyard with a black hole.

"Little Broken Knife, are you dead?" Cha Da shouted.

An old voice came from the depths of the courtyard, "I said who was so rude, it turns out that you old ghost is here again." A staggering figure walked out of the courtyard, carrying a dim oil lamp in his hand, without looking at his appearance, he also gave people a feeling of old age. Nian Bing thought to himself, this is the so-called No. 1 foundry master in the world?

Cha Ji pulled Nian Bing into the courtyard, and by the dim light of the oil lamp, Nian Bing could vaguely see that it was an old man, wearing a black robe, his figure was already a little rickety, his hair was snow-white, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked at least ten years older than Cha Ji.

"Old ghost, why did you bring someone over, who is this little fat man?" the old man in black looked at Nian Bing and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Little Broken Knife, this is my new apprentice, I think, you should also find a child to pass on your mantle, do you really want to take everything to the ground?"

The old man in black snorted and said, "You know a fart, everything depends on fate, do you think the apprentice will accept it when he says it! Look at your apprentice, he looks like a eater, which is just right for you." ”

Hearing this, although Nian Bing was dissatisfied, after all, it was a conversation between elders, and he didn't want to interject, he tried his best to look around, and he found that this small courtyard was almost empty, and there was not even an imaginary weapon shelf, only a thing that looked like a big stove in the corner.

Cha Ji laughed and said, "You old guy, I haven't seen you for a few years, you still look like a yin and yang weird, okay, don't be wordy, you know, I must have something to do when I came here to find you." ”

The old man in black said, "Then come in." With that, he walked to the back room. As soon as he entered the house, Nian Bing suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and the Stone of the Ice and Snow Goddess was inexplicably restless, and his mind seemed to be a little dizzy, and the two magic powers in his body fluctuated unsteadily. Shocked in his heart, he secretly thought, this must be because he didn't use the same ice magic to balance the mana in his body after using the flame, but at this time, it is not suitable for ice magic, not to mention, the mana is a little chaotic because of each other, and he doesn't know how much ice magic he should use to keep the two mana balanced. With his own mind, he forcibly controlled the two magical powers, trying to separate them as much as possible. At this moment, the Tianhua card given to him by Yu Ruyan emitted a warm air flow and merged into Nian Bing's body, making him feel a lot more comfortable, and the sensations caused by the two extremes of cold and heat suddenly decreased a lot.

The old man in black lit the lamp on the table with an oil lamp, and the room suddenly lit up, this is the outhouse, in the center of the room is a high counter, and there seems to be a portal behind the counter. The old man in black walked behind the counter, rubbed his fingers at Cha Ji, and said, "Take the money." Take as much as you want. ”

Cha Ji said angrily: "Little broken knife, I haven't seen you for so many years, and I still love money so much." ”

The old man in black snorted and said, "Friends belong to friends, business belongs to business, since you can't make treasures now, then you can only exchange money." In front of business, everyone is equal. ”

Cha Ji walked to the counter, stuck it in the old man in black, and said, "Don't pretend to be me, get me this precious apprentice a good knife, and when he learns to become a teacher, won't you be able to eat the eight delicacies again?"

The old man in black's eyes lit up, but soon became dim again, "It's a good saying, when your precious apprentice learns to become a teacher, I'm afraid that my old life has also ascended to heaven." ”

Zha Ji said with a smile: "That's not necessarily! When I met you a few years ago, you were so virtuous, and now it's still like this, I think, there is no problem for you to live for another ten or twenty years." ”

The old man in black sighed and said, "My body knows that I have made too many mistakes in my life, if your apprentice can become a teacher within ten years, maybe I can still eat." ”

Cha Ji smiled: "Death is death, even I don't know if I can live for ten years." Don't talk nonsense, get me this apprentice a knife, you can tell you how much it is. ”

The old man in black glanced at Nian Bing and said, "No." ”

Cha Ji frowned slightly, and said, "Little broken knife, you won't give me this little face, right?"

The old man in black snorted and said, "It's not that I don't give you face, do you understand." Whether it is a kitchen knife or a murderous war knife, it must meet the user, your fat apprentice has not grown up, whether it is the body or the hand holding the knife, there is a great possibility of change in the future, and it makes no sense to build a knife for him now, and when he grows up, it will not be applicable. ”

When Nian Bing heard that the old man in black refused to build it for himself, he was immediately anxious, "Then you can just build one for me according to the appearance of an adult, I will definitely be able to use it." ”

The old man in black glanced at him, "There really is a teacher and there must be an apprentice, do you think that the knife I made is the same as those mediocre ones? Your own knife is like underwear, and it can only be used to its maximum effect if it is perfectly suitable. If you buy a pair of underwear that doesn't fit, maybe you'll feel comfortable wearing it for a few days, not because of how good the panties are, but because you've adapted to it. There is a world of difference between the suitability of adaptation and the direct coincidence. When you're eighteen years old, come back when your body is set, and hopefully I'll not be dead by then. ”

Zha Ji's eyes showed a light of thought, "It seems that I was careless." Old man, let's talk about it later. How about giving me a tour of your armory, and do you have any good work lately?"
