Volume 1 The Knife Rises from Qingzhou Chapter 6 "Iron Rod"
It was just over half of the hour, the dawn was still early, the moonlight was like mercury on the ground, and the heaven and earth were bright.
In Luo Buyi's room, two figures were lying on the bed, one was petite, the other was taller, their limbs were entangled, sleeping against their heads, their clothes were complete but slightly messy, reflecting the moonlight, wasn't it Hua Ning and Luo Buyi?
With a "bang", Hua Ning rubbed her temples, her head drowsy. Suddenly feeling a little cold, his hand touched the quilt cover beside him.
"Huh, is this?" Hua Ning's eyes widened suddenly, because she seemed to have touched an arm, which did not belong to her. After opening his eyes wide, he was so frightened that he almost screamed, but fortunately, he could see the face in front of him clearly by the moonlight, which belonged to Luo Buyi.
I secretly wondered in my heart, how could I sleep with Luo Buyi? Could it be that Luo Buyi took advantage of me by getting drunk? Although I fell in love with him at first sight, how could I be so nonsense? No! Luo Buyi fell unconscious on the table after drinking the first bowl, and after drinking three bowls, he entered his guest room with the support of the proprietress . The more Hua Ning thought about it, the more she felt that it was her, and smiled bitterly.
However, it's really close, so you can look at the person in front of you like this. His forehead, his eyebrows, his eyelashes, the bridge of his nose, and his lips... Hua Ning's face flushed, as if drunkenness surged up to her cheeks again, Hua Ning's face slowly leaned forward, her eyes seemed to be closed, her long eyelashes trembled and trembled, closer, closer...
"Shhhhh
Hua Ning was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head, didn't dare to move, and didn't notice that she had fallen into Luo Buyi's arms.
"Mahaprabo... Huh?" Luo Buyi drank for the first time, but he didn't expect to get drunk one cup at a time, which shows that the amount of alcohol is really not good, not as good as Hua Ning. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I feel groggy and have a headache, so I have to sit up habitually and use the "Multi-Heart Sutra" to see the heart and dispel the obstacles.
But it's good that he didn't move, and when he moved, he found that he still had an arm on his body, and he was awake instantly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that a green hair was buried in his chest, and his hair brought him a familiar feeling.
"Hua... Hua Ning?"It's too exciting, I didn't expect that he was half a monk, two masters and a monk, and now he just left the master's side, and he slept with a woman, even if it was a woman he planned to accompany for the rest of his life, it really made his heart beat."
But it's okay, it's Hua Ning. Luo Buyi didn't think about why Hua Ning would sleep with him, after all, it was not a bad thing for him, although he was half a monk, he was also half a man. Thinking like this, his hand unconsciously touched Hua Ningxiang's shoulder, trembling and trembling.
"Hua Ning, are you awake?" Luo Buyi just dropped the hand on Hua Ning's shoulder and suddenly took it away, after all, he was full of cultivation, and he didn't feel flustered just now, and slowly calmed down, and noticed that the breath of the person in his arms began to be disordered.
"Hmm. Hua Ning didn't dare to raise his head.
In the silence, only the sound of the two people's heartbeats and breathing was heard, and the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.
"It's getting nice outside the window, why don't we go out into the streets? I just arrived in this rainy city yesterday, and I don't know what the scene is like in the city. Hua Ning couldn't stand this atmosphere, and sat up and looked at the fading moonlight outside the window.
"Okay, let's go for a walk. Luo Buyi smiled slightly and agreed.
So the two got out of bed to tidy up their clothes, and walked out of the door one after the other, Hua Ning in front and Luo Buyi in the back.
"You... Do you still have a headache?" Hua Ning walked in front of her, her voice was a little uncertain, after all, she heard that she would have a headache when she woke up after being drunk, although she rarely didn't.
"Since I was a child, I have been exercised by the second master with a medicinal bath, some small things, don't hinder, don't hinder!" Luo Bu smiled with a relaxed face.
"Oh, that's good. Hua Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of shame climbed up her cheeks, this was the first time in her life to get along with the opposite sex.
It's just that if Hua Ning looked back, she should be able to find Luo Buyi's hand hesitantly trying to grab her hand.
The sky is getting brighter, and the figures of the two are gradually getting closer.
......
Chenshi is the most boring day of the day in the restaurant, because at this time the breakfast time has passed, and the lunch is still early, even Lao Zhangtou is sitting on the stool and slowly choosing vegetables, humming a little song in his mouth.
Lin Erdan felt that today was his underworld day, everything was not going well, and there were taboos in everything. At this time, he was lying on the table and counting the big bags that were knocked out by the proprietress Hua Yun, and from time to time he glanced at the proprietress who didn't even look at him, and sighed sadly.
And Hua Yun, Luo Buyi, Hua Ning and Ying'er sat around and looked at the brocade on the table.
"This is the purpose of your two masters for letting you come to Sunny Rain City?" Hua Yun didn't tear open the bag with all her strength, and threw it on the table angrily and wondered, shouldn't I?
"Don't bother the boss, in my opinion, you still have to untie the knot on the bag, but the knot is too tight, right?
"I'll try it!" Hua Ning became interested and took it from Ying'er's hand, pulling east and west.
"It can't be a dead knot, right?" Hua Yun played with a strand of hair hanging down her head.
Luo Buyi didn't rush to open this bag, but just watched that everyone was interested, and he didn't want to spoil the fun. The biggest gain from coming to Qingyu City is to meet Hua Ning and recognize the proprietress Hua Yun as his sister, as for other purposes, he doesn't care anymore.
"It's on!"
Everyone looked at it, Hua Ning grabbed each end of the knot with both hands, and gently pulled it, and the "dead knot" immediately turned into a "slipknot", and it was easily opened.
"Isn't it?I pulled it like this just now, I don't feel like I can untie it?" Hua Yun was speechless, the knot that she couldn't untie even a big master at the local level was easily untied by a little sister, how could she be embarrassed?
"Oh, I see!" Hua Yun's eyes lit up and said, "This must be the legendary 'karma', not 'marriage', it is 'karma' and 'karma'." Presumably, the little girl Hua Ning has some connection with this trick to untie this 'karma knot', it seems that it is not easy for the younger brother's master to be a master of the Xuanmen!"It's still a great master! Taoism has its own fate, Buddhism also has cause and effect, people who can use such a level of power can't do it at the ordinary ground level! Hua Yun touched her chin, as if she could touch her beard by touching two more handfuls.
His own master is naturally a master, but Luo Buyi doesn't know what level the two masters are at.
However, looking at Huayun's serious posture, it is unknown whether it is an excuse to excuse himself from being unable to untie the bag.
"Great!" Hua Ning handed over the bag as if inviting, Luo Buyi was naturally full of praise, and said, "You open it and see what is written." β
Women, always curious, whether it is a girl like Hua Ning or Hongying, or an older person like Hua Yun, you have to be properly satisfied, otherwise sooner or later you will be emotional.
Luo Buyi's growth in this day is not small, he is no longer at a loss for dealing with people, and even has a little experience in treating women.
Hua Ning carefully took out a folded paper slip from the bag, and the three women looked at each other and asked Xiang Luo Buyi.
"Read it. "Luo Buyi is helpless, the masters are really, just tell him what is going on, just go around in such a big circle.
"It's not easy: the stick has grown... What do you mean?" Hua Ning's good-looking eyebrows frowned.
Not to mention Ying'er, she was confused.
Or is the proprietress of Huayun experienced, and her eyes can't help but aim at a certain part below Luo Buyi's waist, her eyes are deep and slightly kind? !
When Luo Buyi saw Hua Ning and Ying'er looking at Hua Yun's gaze and their faces slowly reddened, he couldn't calm down, grabbed the shoulder strap, put the "iron rod" on the table vertically, and said calmly: "This should be said!"
At that moment, the fingers pinched the trick and triggered the seal on the "iron rod". I saw that the strips of cloth wrapped around the "iron rod" danced like a snake, and finally shortened into two ordinary cloth satins, one yellow and one white, the kind of cloth used by poor families to make bed sheets, and what was unusual was the content written on it, a charm, a scripture.
Everyone has seen charms, but they can't understand what is written anyway, and the scriptures are also very familiar, Sanskrit, and they can't understand what is written.
Of course, this is the feeling of Hua Ning and Ying'er, and Hua Yun's feeling is different, after all, as a prefecture-level master who has hidden her cultivation, she said... She can't read it! Don't talk about the scriptures, just talk about the charm, you must know that she is also proficient in the art of the talisman, even if she can't write this talisman, she should be able to see one or two from the top of the talisman, but that should also have a format and a fixed way of writing, which is like this one by one like a cloud.
Could it be a cloud rune? Hua Yun's eyes blinked, she didn't have this cultivation to be able to write a cloud rune, and her brother's master was really a little embarrassed.
At first glance, the "iron rod" without the seal is just an ordinary black iron rod, but as the exposure time increases, the "iron rod" seems to slowly recover its spirituality, and it floats up by itself.
Hua Ning pouted, this "iron rod" doesn't look good, but for the sake of the token he sent, he doesn't care about it.
"The two masters ordered me to take it with me at all times, to cultivate it with my own qi, and the master said that when the merit is complete, this treasure will have the opportunity to change. But I don't know where this opportunity is. "Luo is not easily depressed, and he doesn't like this kind of game of wit.
Hua Yun swallowed her saliva: "Baby!"
Hua Ning said: "Do you want a blacksmith to make it?" She always felt that the fine lines on this "iron rod" were a little familiar.
"We have two blacksmith shops in Sunny City, so you can ask them. Hua Yun held her cheeks with her hands on her cheeks, with a smile on her face, silly boy, where can this kind of magic be handled by an ordinary blacksmith! But she didn't want to remind her, because she was very curious about whether Hua Ning really helped in this matter, and it was good to let the two of them go around the city, after all, they would...
Qingyu City is a small city in the end, and the morning market is not much lively, except for a few stalls selling vegetables or breakfast There are some people in front of the shops, although the other shops opened early, but no one entered for a long time. There are also some people who live by their crafts, sitting on the wall, waiting for customers to come to the door, thinking that it is always good to do more handicraft work and subsidize more households.
Grandma Sun has been selling cloth on the street for decades, and the cloth she woven when she was young had a good style and a good feel, and she was one of the best weavers in the city. It's a pity that the "Heavenly Change" happened fifteen years ago, and one of her children fell into the crack where the earth dragon turned over, and there were no bones left.
She was bitter, she thought that her children had grown up, it was time to start a family, and she could also hold her grandchildren, which was a blessing she had been looking forward to for half a lifetime, but she couldn't imagine that the heavens would not fulfill people's wishes, she cried for two days and two nights, her tears were gone, and her eyes were blind. If someone hadn't abandoned a little baby girl on the edge of her half-collapsed house, she would have wanted to go with her child.
"Xiaohong, who did you play with last night?" asked Grandma Sun with a smile.
"No... I didn't talk to anyone..."Sun Xiaohong's round face was as red as an apple.
"Isn't that the one named Lin Erdan? That kid is very nice, speaks well, listens to people and is diligent in doing things, and is an honest man. And what kind of biao from that blacksmith shop, didn't he say the day before yesterday that he was going to buy you a handkerchief? Is he not naΓ―ve? He has a simple temperament, and if someone else hadn't taught him to strike iron, he probably wouldn't have been able to find a job to do. "Although Grandma Sun can't see what her granddaughter looks like, she also knows that it must be good, because several boys deliberately came to talk to our Xiaohong.
Sun Xiaohong lost her temper at her grandmother's nagging, so she had to say: "It was Brother Erdan who took me to buy pastries to eat, and asked me to bring you a piece, and I put it at home." β
"Oh, is it? What a good boy with a heart!" Grandma Sun put down the rag basket in her hand and slapped her knees happily.
Sun Xiaohong was helpless, but she was also happy in her heart, but the movements in her hands did not stop at all, they came out of the stall late, so they had to speed up their movements.
"May I ask this girl, do you know where the blacksmith is in this city?"
Sun Xiaohong hurriedly turned her head and looked at the person questioning. I just felt that the little boy in front of me was really handsome, and he was even better looking than a woman, and he compared another good-looking young man behind him.
These two are Luo Buyi and Hua Ning.
After Luo Buyi and Hua Ning came out, Ying'er didn't follow them, because the proprietress of Huayun said that Luo Buyi just had Hua Ning, a destined person, to follow, and she would definitely be able to gain something.
"There is one on our street, have you ever met?" replied Sun Xiaohong in a low voice.
"That shop hasn't opened yet, and we haven't seen the other shop anywhere. Hua Ning replied.
The two of them only found a blacksmith shop along the way, but I don't know if it was because it was still early, so it didn't open. They all walked to the corner of the street, and they didn't know where the other blacksmith shop was, so they had to ask someone for directions.
"The location of the other house is in..."
Sun Xiaohong naturally knew the location of the other shop, but first, she was worried that it would be inappropriate for her grandmother to take care of the stall alone, and secondly, that shop was on another street, and she was really embarrassed to go.
"Girl, go, there is a good saying, it is convenient for others and for yourself. Leave me alone, I can take care of it myself. I think if it weren't for the kind help of the neighbors, I wouldn't have survived as a blind woman. Grandma Sun is enthusiastic, and when she thinks of her own experience, she is full of emotion.
"Knowing grandma, I'm going to go back quickly. Sun Xiaohong hurriedly responded.
The three of them left the stall and walked to another street under the leadership of Sun Xiaohong.
It's just that no one noticed that Luo Buyi's hands were placed behind his head, and there seemed to be a finger movement.
Listening to the footsteps gradually moving away, Grandma Sun happily picked up the rag basket from the ground and sorted it out.
"Huh, what is this?" "After groping in the basket for a while, his hands came across something.
"Hehe, whose naughty ghost took a pebble and quietly threw it in my basket, hehehe..." Grandma Sun didn't care about the silver-white pebble, and continued to sort out the rags of similar size and put them aside.
There are just two streets in the whole Sunny and Rainy City, which are distributed on both sides of the city lord's mansion and the inner city, which is said to be the inner city, but there is no city wall, just an area surrounded by some large mansions. Ordinary people are in the corners of these streets, houses and alleys.
Unlike the street where the Fulin Building was located was facing the outer city gate, the street where the three of them went looked wider, perhaps because it was close to noon, and this street seemed much more lively than the other.
Hua Ning has never been out of the state capital since she was a child, looking at all kinds of small objects on the street, excitedly walking around the crowd, picking up a small ornament from time to time to look left and right.
Luo Buyi has been accompanying the two masters since he was a child, and naturally he has never seen such a scene. He doesn't like to talk much, because there is a strict master who makes him only talk as little as possible and do more homework, and because he has a talkative second master who says everything for him that should be said and what should not be said, so that he has nothing to say. Seeing Hua Ning's bouncing figure, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop turning up, and he wanted to say a lot of things and express them, but he didn't know and didn't understand, he just thought that it would be good to look at her with a smile.
Although Sun Xiaohong is young, her intuition as a woman allows her to see that one of these two sons of the same age as her is a rare beautiful girl in the world, and the other has a great relationship with this girl.
"This boy and this young lady are in front of the blacksmith shop. She was reluctant to go to the shop, because the owner of the shop was a man named Biaozi, and he always wanted to talk to her, but she didn't like it, and neither did her second brother.
"Xiaohong?" Before Luo Buyi and Hua Ning could look over, the people in the shop had already discovered them.
"Xiaohong, why are you here? I also said that I would finish work early today and buy you a handkerchief. "The person who came came came out quickly, he looked dark, quite strong, and he laughed and gave people a sense of simplicity.
Sun Xiaohong didn't dare to answer, but just let Luo Buyi and Hua Ning go, and said, "It's these two sons who are looking for Brother Biaozi, you have something." I, I still have to go back to help my grandmother take care of the stall, so I'll leave first. After saying that, he stepped on broken steps and hurried away.
"Hey, Xiaohong, slow down...... The two sons are invited!" Biaozi didn't rush to chase Sun Xiaohong, but just looked at the back and sighed, because after all, there were guests looking for him, so he didn't delay the work, so he hurriedly let the two into the shop.
"What do the two sons need to do? From the knives, guns and sticks used by the warriors and knights, to the kitchen knives and farm tools used by the common people, they can all be made, with high quality and fair prices. Biaozi introduced the two of them.
Luo Buyi heard this, took off the "iron rod" behind his back, and unsealed the seal while pinching the seal, and said: "I'm sorry for this big brother, I have the magic material of the root master here, and I need the big brother to make it into a weapon." β
Biao Zi was already dumbfounded when Luo Buyi unsealed it, and it was even more unbelievable to watch the "iron rod" float up by itself.
"This, this son, I'm afraid I can't create it for you, this magic material is so strange, it's really unheard of. Biaozi had a bitter face.
"Do you have to look at the materials to build a weapon?" Luo Buyi didn't understand this.
Hua Ning didn't understand either, and persuaded: "This big brother should give us a try, if even the blacksmith can't make weapons, we don't know who to find." β
"Well, I'll give it a try. As soon as Biao Zi's heart was horizontal, he took the iron tongs, and he had to pick up the "iron rod".
I only heard the sound of "snorting", and before the iron tongs touched the "iron rod", a deep mark was somehow scratched.
"This! This can't be done, son, I haven't touched it yet, this guy is broken. "Biaozi is about to cry.
Hua Ning put her little hand against her lips, very surprised.
Luo Buyi couldn't help it, so he had to quickly seal it, in case he hurt someone, it wouldn't be good. Who would have thought that the "iron rod" would emit its own breath and destroy the iron tongs, looking like it didn't want to be touched by the iron tongs.
"How should this be? Could it be that we are thinking wrong? Shouldn't we find a blacksmith?" Luo Buyi really wanted to run back and ask the two masters what to do.
"Two sons, I don't have this ability, so you can't find someone else. Biao Zi scratched his head, it was rare for two guests to come to the door, but he had to push people out.
Luo Buyi and Hua Ning glanced at each other, "Do you want to go to another house to have a look?" Hua Ning proposed.
didn't wait for Luo Buyi to reply, but Biao Zi picked up the conversation: "Don't hide it from the two sons, the blacksmith shop on the other street is also opened by me, thinking that the two shops will have more customers, but I forgot that I am alone and can't take care of it, so I often close a shop." Hey, hey, hey..."
Both were speechless.
Luo Buyi said: "Let's go back to the restaurant first, if it really doesn't work, I'll go back and ask the two masters." β
"Well, it's good, I remember hearing people say that this cultivator's weapons are all made by special means. Hua Ning agreed.
After speaking, the two of them said goodbye to Biaozi.
Just as the two of them were about to walk out of the threshold, Biao Zi patted his head and shouted, "I know that one person might build what you want!"
The two stopped, and Luo Buyi looked back and asked, "Who?"
"A gentleman who taught me to strike iron is named Jia Han. β
