The fighting at the foot of the mountain continues.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a sword furnace room in isolation, and the wind is calm.

Outside the door of the A-shaped sword furnace room.

There were more than a dozen corpses lying upside down, all of which were dressed in cyan house slave clothes.

The facial expressions of these cronies and soldiers brought by Liu Zi'an before their deaths were either calm as usual, or they were stunned.

At this moment, there were seven or eight people standing between these corpses, either bowing their heads to wipe the daggers and waist knives, or bending down to carry the corpses together and throwing them under the cliff.

The seven or eight remaining people outside the door were also dressed in cyan house slave clothes, but their faces were indifferent, and they finished in an orderly manner and cleaned the scene.

Meantime...... They also ignored the faint groans of pain coming from inside the door.

After cleaning up, the eight Tsing Yi house slaves turned around with their backs and stood in front of the door of the sword furnace room.

At this moment, in the sword furnace room guarded behind them.

The new head of the Liu family...... No, the former head of the family should be called, and the groans of the former head of the family, Liu Zi'an, are gradually disappearing and disappearing.

In the sword furnace room, the atmosphere was quiet for a while.

"Poof".

Liu Zilin suddenly left Liu Zi'an's body.

In front of everyone's eyes, he knelt down on one knee towards Wei Shaoxuan, buried his head and choked up:

"Thank you to the sixth prince of Wei for helping my eldest brother avenge my eldest brother and cleaning up the unfilial descendants of my ancestors of the Liu family."

Wei Shaoxuan waved his hand:

"Get up, do it."

looked at Liu Zilin, who was grateful, and squinted:

"The two elder brothers are dead, and now you are the new head of the Liu family in Longcheng, and you will continue to cooperate with our Wei family instead of the Liu family, so it is a bit inappropriate to kneel directly to this son, right?"

The tone is playful.

Liu Zilin immediately shook his head, clenched his fists and beat his chest and said:

"Wei Liugongzi is under the Xia, Yu Liu's family is kind, what is it to kneel and thank you, if Wei Liugongzi has something to do, please just command! In the lower liver and brain, there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, and there is no resignation! ”

Liu Fu looked sideways and glanced at Liu Zilin.

Wei Shaoxuan smiled and nodded: "It's Wei's, it's Wei Wangfu." ”

A small correction.

Liu Zilin rolled his eyes and looked at Wei Shaoxuan's complexion, and immediately clenched his fists to correct it:

"Yes, yes, yes, under the Wei family, against the King of Wei, never give up!"

After a pause, a smile appeared on his face, and he pretended to be casual in his tone:

"Actually, it's all the same, when the sixth prince of Wei recovers this new Ding sword and becomes famous all over the world, the name of the sixth prince of Wei is not linked to the palace of King Wei, and wait a little longer...... Why worry about not being able to become Wei's talker. ”

"Alright, get up."

Wei Shaoxuan waved his hand to interrupt and scolded with a smile:

"It's all the head of the house, and it's still a fart? My father used to admire Liu Ziwen, so let's learn more from your dead eldest brother in the future, especially in keeping to yourself. ”

He pulled the corners of his mouth, squinted his eyes, and said, "Don't learn from your second brother again." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Liu Zilin immediately got up, followed in unison, and followed behind Wei Shaoxuan.

Seeing this, Wei Shaoxuan's eyes flashed with a look of satisfaction, and he was quite interested, and he said casually:

"Liu Ziwen, Liu Zi'an, Liu Zilin...... Oh, it's interesting that Daddy gave you a name, but what is missing is right? ”

He laughed and joked to Qiu Shenji and Liu Fu in the house:

"At present, it is uncertain, I hope our Third Young Master Liu can be a little more accurate."

Liu Zilin bowed his head:

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, in this small place, it's just a shallow water king, Young Master Wei Liu is the real dragon and phoenix among people, Wei's Linzi! The hidden dragon is in the abyss, and the dragon can soar for nine days in the near future! ”

On the other side, Ouyang Rong took Ah Qing's hand, blocked the front, and stood in the corner of the room together since Ouyang Rong had just stabbed Liu Zi'an with the group.

During this period, he silently listened to the words of the Wei family and Liu Zilin, who were dressed as noble sons—words that were extremely informative to him.

Ouyang Rong lowered his head and squinted, wiping the blood foam from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

At this moment, he saw Liu Zilin nodding and slapping his ass, pulling the corners of his lips, revealing a touch of sarcasm.

"What are you laughing at?"

Liu Zilin swept away, suddenly turned his head, and glared at Ouyang Rong viciously.

"Laugh at a shallow water king." Ouyang Rong smiled and nodded, honestly.

Liu Zilin's face flushed, he drew his knife and rushed forward, stabbed Ouyang Rong in the stomach with the handle of the knife, and bluffed fiercely:

"You take another look?!"

Ouyang Rong covered his belly with his hands like a bow, but his eyes rolled up, still looking at the angry Liu Zilin, and said seriously:

"If you cut off your head, hurry up, why 'take another look', I haven't heard such a stupid request, let this little kid fight?"

The young county magistrate who was coughing up blood and laughing, because of the movement of turning his head at this moment, a blood line appeared between his neck and the blade, which became deeper and deeper.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

He ignored it, his smile remained unchanged, and he even nodded sharply:

"You now have a master's king, it's different from ordinary wild, you have to look at your master's face carefully.

"I was captured by your master, but I didn't kill it directly, you are cowardly, I can't be sure in my heart, I want to find out your master's attitude first, yes or no.

"Hey, Gou has been long enough, no matter how stupid Wang Ba is, his brain can be smarter, the third young man of the Liu family is still modest, where is the shallow water, you are really a good Wang Ba now, you can enter deeper water."

The bottoms were cleaned, and Liu Zilin's head was bruised.

The hand gripping the hilt clenched violently.

Want to cut.

It can be released slightly.

Bang——!

"Hmm!"

He held the handle of the knife in his yin hand, and punched Ouyang Rong in front of him again.

But Ouyang Rong's shrimp bow posture is more like covering his belly and laughing, slanting his eyes with contempt.

The nasolabial folds muscles on Liu Zilin's face twitched.

For some reason, he hated this Ouyang Lianghan's eyes very, very much, especially when looking at him.

Obviously, this son is looking up from the bottom up, but it gives Liu Zilin a feeling that he is condescending.

You really damn it, Ouyang Lianghan!

Liu Zilin's face was like blood and anger, and he wanted to pull out a knife and cut people.

"Alright."

Wei Shaoxuan's voice came.

Liu Zilin instantly withdrew his hand, snorted coldly at Ouyang Rong, who was sneering at the corner of his mouth, turned around on the spot, and bowed his head respectfully:

"It's still Wei Gongzi and Mr. Qiu who have great powers, and they directly captured this son! It's a shame to say that Zaihe and his family have been cheated by him many times before, but he can't do anything about it, so when they met, they were a little emotional......"

"It's okay, I understand."

Wei Shaoxuan smiled and waved his hand.

However, he glanced sideways at the irascible Liu Zilin in front of him, and his eyes were inscrutable.

Liu Zilin didn't dare to move at all.

Looking away, Wei Shaoxuan walked in front of Ouyang Rong, folded his fan and clapped his hands, and asked lightly:

"I heard my father-in-law say, you brought a group of people who didn't want to die, and carried a bunch of burning shark oil up the mountain, this is to prepare to blow up the sword furnace? Jade burning? ”

Ouyang Rong got up, lowered his head and patted the ashes, but didn't speak.

Wei Shaoxuan glanced up and down:

"My son is quite curious, is the old gentleman having a grudge against you, or is he disgusted with the Liu family's hatred of the house and Wu? It's good, what are you doing to blow up this A-word sword furnace, is it because you can't get used to seeing this son and Wei's, and you want to spoil our good deeds? ”

Ouyang Rong raised his head, his face calm:

"Please fix this broken sword next time, pick a place where no one is around, don't disturb the fellows to work and sleep, a while rising water and torrents, a while to fight life and death, is it very interesting?

"Not everyone has to accommodate you." He said.

Wei Shaoxuan laughed, pointed at Ouyang Rong, and said to everyone in the room: "Interesting, a good official!" ”

He laughed twice, and suddenly turned his head to Qiu Shenji, who was watching coldly, and said:

"This kind of good official, no wonder it is inconvenient for the father-in-law to kill him directly."

Wei Shaoxuan's face was slightly embarrassed, sighed, and spread his hands:

"Qi practitioners are not good at this. Just now, the hundreds of stunned young civilians who were not afraid of death were also like this, they could only be stunned and restrained, it was really troublesome, if you want to die, you will die......

"It's not a battlefield, it's not a river and lake, it's easy to dirty my father's hands, those pressures are not a joke, the higher you go, the more so, unless you are like those crazy magicians, break the jar and run to the shore of the North Sea......"

Ouyang Rong turned his head when he heard this, frowned at the unfathomable Xianbei man in front of him, and pursed his lips.

There is some knowledge about qi practitioners, but the little junior sister has not said it, maybe she didn't think he needed it before.

I saw Qiu Shenji shaking his head slightly:

"It's okay to kill one or two, it's just a fight and kill on the rivers and lakes, but you can find some special ways to offset it, and it's not a legendary Shenzhou celestial, which involves too much cause and effect.

"The reason why I didn't kill the leader is that the old gentleman has a message and asked me to bring it back."

Qiu Shenji turned his head to look at the old man in Mai who was watching the play and sipping wine with relish in the rocking chair on the side.

Ouyang Rong's face was quite surprised when he heard this, and he looked at this old craftsman who had a relationship with him before, and wondered why he saved him.

Wei Shaoxuan, Liu Zilin and others frowned.

also looked at it with some suspicion.

Unexpectedly, the old swordsmith held the wine jar in his hand, shook the turbid wine in the altar and said:

"You kid is mistaken, the old man asked you to bring this little girl with the word 'Yue' embroidered on your forehead."

The old man said indifferently:

"She used to work in the sword shop, and helped the old man buy a lot of rice wine, which was cheap and affordable, and she owed half a favor, so she could pay it back before leaving.

"So it's okay to keep this one alive.

"That hairy boy named Ouyang Lianghan, you can dispose of it casually, just don't dirty my house."

Ouyang Rong: ......

Wei Shaoxuan et al.: ......

"Old uncle!" A Qing's delicate little face, pear blossoms bring rain: "Please, save my master......"

"Not familiar."

The old swordsmith shook his head and did not squint.

After a pause, he added:

"I heard you say that my mother is old, go home and stay well, serve the high hall, don't run around like today, remember."

The old man actually nagged a little bit about the love of drinking.

Wei Shaoxuan, Qiu Shenji and the others were not much surprised, after all, today is special, and this old gentleman has no children and no daughters.

Wei Shaoxuan sent the Buddha to the west, and promised with his chin head:

"Don't worry, old gentleman, I won't kill her, send her down the mountain."

He suddenly changed his words:

"Old man, it's two o'clock in the afternoon!"

The old swordsmith nodded casually, pointed to a wooden sword case lying quietly on the table, and said:

"The sword is inside."

Wei Shaoxuan was puzzled: "But there is no sword in the box." ”

The old swordsmith chuckled:

"If you can't see it, it doesn't mean that you don't have it, seeing is really believing? If you don't have any understanding at all, what is the difference between that fool Liu Zi'an? ”

Wei Shaoxuan frowned, turned his face, and asked his father-in-law with his eyes.

Qiu Shenji muttered: "The details of the birth of each Ding sword, the official history and the wild history only have a few strokes ......."

He said to the old swordsmith: "But to turn fiction into reality, there must always be a 'thing that pretends to be false'. ”

The old swordsmith pouted: "This sword box is, otherwise why would the old man ask you to find the Mo family's sword box in Tiannan and Haibei?" ”

Wei Shaoxuan and Qiu Shenji choked.

The wine wet the old swordsmith's messy gray beard, he put down the rice wine, drunkenly smoked, and said:

"The newborn Ding Sword, only by recognizing the Lord, can it appear.

"Except for those who are vigorous, the conditions for recognizing the Lord are ...... Nine products, sword tricks, plus real names, you can appear in the world. ”

After speaking, he bent down, took out a Sanskrit Buddhist scripture from under the table, and threw it to Wei Shaoxuan:

"The sword trick of the 'Hanshi'." To put it mildly.

This whimsical and eclectic boss's exclusive and capricious operation stunned everyone.

Wei Shaoxuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he didn't doubt him: "Thank you for the old man!" ”

The old swordsmith shook the wine jar again, put it back on the table, looked at the sky with a dejected face, and sighed:

"No alcohol to drink. Go also. ”

The old man straightened up and waved his hand impatiently at everyone:

"Hurry up, hurry up, the old man has nothing to give, send off, send off."

When they heard this, they retreated to the door.

Qiu Shenji suddenly asked:

"I want to ask the old gentleman one last time, how many tripod swords are this, and how many uncast swords are left?

"The bite that the Mad Emperor was stolen from, was it forged into a Ding Sword?"

The old swordsmith didn't answer, only glanced at the familiar moonlight sword he had casually forged at someone's waist.

At this moment, everyone retreated.

The house was empty.

The furnace is empty.

The old man in Mai stood in front of the empty stove and turned his head to look at the people who had stopped in front of the door and watched coldly.

He smiled surprisingly:

"I know what you are waiting for, for the Ding Sword forged by himself, the sword caster knows too much, only by seeing him die with his own eyes, can the sword bearer be completely at ease, and can he really have the Ding Sword hahahaha......

"But the most helpless thing is that before this, whether it is a prince or a general, or a mythical qi practitioner, everyone has to ask for a swordsmith."

Ouyang Rong interjected: "How can it be the same as marrying a pretty daughter with my father-in-law?" ”

The corners of the old swordsmith's eyes twitched, and everyone frowned and was speechless.

The tragic atmosphere that had been brewing in the air for a long time was suddenly gone.

The old man shook his head with a smile, and in the next moment, he suddenly said:

"Do you all want to ask its real name?"

One after another, staring at him.

The old swordsmith smiled and said:

"The old man once had an ancestral teaching, myths were born in mortal dust, and the same is true for old men casting swords, so ......

"It's called craftsmanship.

"An unremarkable... A work of craftsmen. ”

The old swordsmith faced the young men and girls by the gate.

I don't know who I'm staring at, or if it's ...... Is it with everyone?

In fact, the two words proposed by a young county commander before, the old swordsmith once liked them very much.

Fair.

Good justice.

Equal opportunities for all.

In front of the empty stove, the old swordsmith lowered his head, patted the dust on the hem of his clothes, and grabbed a red lotus sword mark on the table.

"Master and brother, the old man of the Mei family, the old man is here."

The old man in Mai didn't look back, he threw himself into the furnace alone.

The rickety body is in a flame-extinguishing furnace, like a dandelion in the wind, turning into flying flotsam.

Only ash remains.

Since then, there has been no swordsmith in the world who has mastered the art of Lulu swordsmithing.

When the First Emperor forged the second Ding sword in the world thousands of years ago, the Lulu swordsmanship born from thousands of craftsmen was cut off.

In front of the door, Wei Shaoxuan, Liu Zilin, Ouyang Rong, A Qing and others heard this, their faces were hot and stunned.

"Craftsman... Make? ”
