Chapter 255: Sneak Attack
Hearing that Zhong Lifei chose an alchemy furnace to forge a sword, many disciples of the Longquan Gang came over to see the excitement.
"Actually using the Dan furnace to forge a sword, is he crazy?"
"I think he's just a blind toss, just eye-catching."
Everyone talked about it, and even the good deeds looked at the stone stick in the furnace and said jokingly: "Just such an ore, at most it is a short knife and dagger or something, can it be compared with our master's upcoming divine sword?" ”
The other disciples nodded yes when they heard this, and some even laughed out loud.
Zhong Lifei didn't seem to hear the voices of these guys, and concentrated on doing his own thing.
Chu Fan ignored them and followed the master to help with things.
These disciples saw that Zhong Lifei ignored them, and after watching them for a while, they felt bored, so they dispersed in twos and threes.
It can be seen that Zhong Lifei is very attentive to this sword casting, and Ning Zeyang invited him to the banquet several times in a row, but he was politely refused.
All of Zhong Lifei's activity area revolves around the Dan furnace, and all the changes in the furnace can cause his nerves to be highly tense.
Even at night, Zhong Lifei did not go to the arranged room to sleep, but slept on the floor next to the Dan furnace with a bunk and clothes.
Chu Fan knew that the master was afraid that something would happen, and if any guy took advantage of their inattention and took away the stone sticks in the furnace, it would be a big deal.
So, he asked Chunxue to help during the day and go back to the room to rest at night, while he, like the master, stood in front of the Dan furnace every step of the way.
After listening to the disciples' reports, Ning Zeyang was amazed by this, and realized that Zhong Lifei had invested a lot of money this time.
He was curious, eager to see what kind of sword Zhong Lifei had forged.
However, due to the imminent release of the divine sword he had refined, Ning Zeyang had no time to be distracted, so he could only concentrate on his duties.
Three days later, Ning Zeyang's face became gloomy and terrifying.
The truth is really the same as Zhong Lifei said, the divine sword did not come out as scheduled.
Because when Ning Zeyang was about to extinguish the furnace fire and take the sword to cast it, he suddenly found that the color of the hot iron flowing in the furnace was a little wrong.
This means that the molten iron is mixed with impurities, which is logically impossible.
After all, these days, Ning Zeyang has been careful in every step when forging his sword, how could it be mixed with impurities?
Ning Zeyang suddenly remembered that Zhong Lifei had said that it would be two days late, so he immediately put down his body and asked him about the reason.
Zhong Lifei's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing this, and he smiled: "Before the helper opened the furnace, did he worship the furnace god?" ”
Ning Zeyang was stunned, and then said in a daze: "What does the head of Zhongli mean is that I have angered the gods, causing a lot of trouble in forging the sword?" ”
Zhong Lifei nodded mysteriously.
Ning Zeyang was anxious, and hurriedly asked Zhong Lifei if there was a way to crack it.
"Fasting and bathing for two days, and at the same time learning from me to stay by the fireside."
"It's as simple as that?"
"Sincerity is spirituality, otherwise no matter how many forms there are, they will be fancy."
"I see, I see!"
Ning Zeyang thought he understood, and hurriedly bathed and changed his clothes.
Half an hour later, like Zhong Lifei, he set up a bunk next to the Ding furnace, and eating, drinking, and Lazar were all nearby.
The disciples who forged the sword thought that the master was coming to be the overseer, so they didn't dare to be lazy one by one, and worked harder and harder.
Chu Fan felt strange and asked the master in private: "Why are you so sure that Ning Zeyang's sword came out two days late?" ”
Zhong Li Fei whispered: "The reason is very simple, the surname Ning spent a lot of money this time, and a lot of valuable materials were added to the smelting, and the consequence of this is that it is easy to contaminate the molten mineral water with some impurities, and it can only take two more days." ”
"It's been a long time, and the master is actually fooling him."
"I can't say that, my main purpose is to keep him in the Sword Forge Hall."
"What's the use of you keeping him in the church, he won't help us."
"I can't help it, but at least I can help with the nursing home."
"As soon as the master said this, the apprentice didn't understand." Chu Fan had a confused look in his eyes.
"My eyelids have been jumping for the past few days, and I always have a premonition that something bad is happening. Maybe someone came to make trouble, and the surnamed Ning was with us, even if he didn't help at that time, he could make the thief throw a mouse trap and dare not start easily. ”
Chu Fan thought that the master was suspicious, but the next night proved Zhong Lifei's super premonition.
At the third watch, the people on Zhong Lifei's side and Ning Zeyang's side all gathered around the fireside and fell asleep.
There was no sound in the Sword Casting Hall except for the crackling sound of charcoal fire.
At this moment, Chu Fan seemed to hear some movement in the hall in a trance.
He hurriedly opened his eyes and found an old man tiptoeing into the Sword Casting Hall.
This guy floated past Ning Zeyang's Ding Furnace like a ghost, and came straight towards Chu Fan's side.
Chu Fan was suddenly shocked in his heart, and a pair of fists were immediately clenched.
The old man came to the side of the Dan furnace in a blink of an eye, but he didn't dare to alarm Zhong Lifei's master and apprentice.
Chu Fan peeked at it, only to see this guy silently raise his right hand.
Between the flips, an ice hockey ball flashing with a cold light quietly took shape in his palm.
"It's not good, he wants to destroy the Dan Furnace!"
Chu Fan suddenly understood the thief's evil intentions, and couldn't help but be furious.
He immediately struck a carp, his body turned into a shadow of light, and punched the thief in the back.
"Not good!"
The old man who was about to attack the Dan furnace exclaimed, and the figure immediately flew to the left.
"Where do the thieves escape!" Chu Fan shouted.
With angry shouts, he chased after him and kicked the old man who was fleeing in embarrassment.
"Bang!"
Eventually, with a muffled sound, the old man fell to the ground, cracking the ground!
The sound of the fight suddenly woke everyone sleeping in the Sword Casting Hall, and everyone gathered around.
Suddenly, Ning Zeyang shouted in surprise: "Old Wangtou, what are you doing here?" ”
It turned out that the old man was a cleaner of the Longquan Gang for daily cleaning.
At this moment, everyone thought that Chu Fan was too suspicious. Someone else comes in and sweeps the floor, but you beat him badly.
However, Zhong Lifei said to Chu Fan without changing his face: "Apprentice, kill him!" ”
Chu Fan was stunned, at this time he was afraid that he had killed the innocent by mistake.
Zhong Lifei said reluctantly: "If you don't do it, then I'll do it myself!" ”
After speaking, he walked towards the old king with an angry face.
"Head Zhongli, you misunderstood, you blamed the little old man"
The old king screamed in horror and retreated again and again.
Just when everyone wanted to step forward to dissuade Zhong Lifei, the old king's body suddenly turned into a scarlet blood shadow, and it burst out directly from the spot!
At the same time, an extremely sharp flying knife poked out from his hand and slashed towards Zhongli!
"Be careful!"
"Oh no, this man is a spy!"
The faces of the Longquan Gang changed greatly, and Chu Fan also exclaimed, but it was too late to stop it.
