The southern town is undoubtedly extremely lonely and quiet.

Nanyi City has been repeatedly warn, and it is naturally difficult for such a town in the east to be lively.

Perhaps it was because it had just rained, and the stone slabs in the town were wet and somewhat dark.

In the alley, I don't know whose clothes I forgot to collect, and they were knocked down by the rain, and they were spread out in the corner of the wall in embarrassment.

The man in the black robe bent down, silently picked up the garment, and put it on the wall, probably this movement alarmed the people in the yard, and some men stretched out their heads very vigilantly, and when they saw the black, the color in their eyes first became panic, and then became a very reassuring emotion.

"It turned out to be the Lord of Heaven."

The man in his thirties looked at this Heavenly Hell Lord who didn't know where he came from, and bowed very respectfully.

If it had been in the year 103 of the Great Wind Calendar, these people in the world might not have had such a good attitude towards these people dressed in black.

It's just that now it's clear that the story is different.

During the war in the south, the Heavenly Hell became a rare place for people in the world to rely on and rely on - when both the Hanging Courtyard and the Human Sword Sect rebelled.

The black-robed man just nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and continued to walk towards the depths of the alley, only halfway through, as if remembering something, he looked back at the small town man who was about to close the courtyard door, groaned a little, and asked.

"Do you have a blacksmith here?"

The man obviously didn't expect that this lord of the heavenly hell would suddenly ask such a question, and he didn't react for a while, he looked at the man for a long time, but he didn't see anything like a sword that needed to be forged from him, but without this, it didn't mean that he couldn't go to the blacksmith, maybe it was because he didn't have it, so he came for this.

"It seems that there is one, in the east of the town, adults can inquire all the way, or I can show the way for adults."

The black-robed man nodded and said, "Thank you, you don't have to lead the way." ”

The man said sincerely, "Your Excellency is polite......

Such a sentence does not seem to be finished.

So the black-robed man still stood there for a long time, looking at the small town man standing at the gate of the courtyard.

After hesitating for a long time, the man in this small town asked very carefully, "Where did the adults come from?" ”

The man from the heavenly prison said calmly: "Huaidu. ”

The name of the place obviously surprised the men of the town, and they were stunned for a while before they saluted respectfully again.

"It turned out to be an adult from Huaidu."

Not only from Huaidu, but also the dispatch envoy of the northern part of the Heavenly Prison, because he was worried that something would happen, so he personally came to Yu Dan in the south, looked at the man in the town for a long time, and then said slowly: "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

The man in the small town was a little apprehensive, but probably there were some questions, and it would be even more apprehensive if he didn't ask them.

It took a long time, and the occasional sound of rain dripping from the green eaves sounded in the alley, and the man's sincere voice sounded.

"Your Majesty.... Don't want the South anymore? ”

I don't know why, but when Yu heard such a very calm question, he felt a little pity in his heart.

Therefore, the light in the eyes of this Heavenly Hell Northern Dispatch softened a little, looked at the man for a long time, and said slowly: "No, they will be here soon." ”

The small town man had some joy on his face, and he saluted and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Yu didn't say anything more, turned around, and headed towards the east of the town.

When this Heavenly Hell Northern Dispatch Envoy walked out of the alley, he also stopped at the entrance of the alley for a long time, looking up at the green hills outside the town, such an ancient city, such a mountain, and a certain battlefield that was still burning blood and fire, all outside of those green hills, it seemed that they could not be seen.

It's just that there are some things that you don't need to see to imagine many stories that make the world panic.

Yu had to admit that he was still a little glad that this was a world that had not really collapsed.

There are still many rules in the world - the war does not extend to these small human towns.

Although the world is in a hurry, it is not the result of poor livelihood and displacement - this is probably a story that some people do not want to write.

Rite the world, give the world.

Yu Dan stood there for a long time in a melancholy manner, before finally taking a step towards the east of the town.

Asking all the way, the world's attitude towards Heavenly Hell is indeed much better - after all, there are some things that the world can see.

In these chaotic stories in the south, such a world office with black walls in a deep courtyard has indeed carried a lot of wind and snow for the world.

Those who die generously for the world are naturally not only Lingnan.

To the east of the town is the end of the tributary that comes from the Nanyi River, and not far from the town, it extends into a large tidal flat Tingzhou land, with lush reeds, and it seems that there is indeed a family in it.

When Yu Dan walked there, he saw a sturdy man with bare arms tying a boat to a small shed on the water's edge.

This scene undoubtedly made Yu Dan's expression strange.

Because there were some fishing nets in the boat, and there were some fish with blue and white scales in the nets.

Even Yu Dan, who was the dispatch envoy of the northern part of the Heavenly Prison, wondered if he had come to the wrong place when he saw this scene.

Yu Dan looked there for a long time, and the man was very skillful in tying the boat and collecting the net, probably too seriously, and it took a long time before he noticed the black-robed man at the water's edge.

The sudden arrival of the Heavenly Prison Officers will of course still bring some surprise to the people of the town, especially the clothes on such a man's body, which are not the clothes worn by ordinary Heavenly Prison Officials.

Whether Yu has suffered some grievances in Huaidu is unknown to the world, but when he stands quietly by the reeds and waters, dressed in a black robe, it is always easy for people's hearts to suddenly tighten.

The man hesitated for a moment, put down the net in his hand, hurriedly stepped on such a watery path, came to Yu Dan, and saluted.

"Is there something wrong with me?"

When such a man stops in the town, the people of the town naturally don't ask such a question.

After all, there are streets and alleys in the town, and no one knows who this man from hell is looking for.

But when you get here, you will find the land of the water and tidal flats, and there is only one family among the reeds, so it is naturally different.

Yu Dan looked at the man quietly for a long time, then stretched out his hand and said calmly, "Show me your hand." ”

The man hesitated a little, although he didn't know what he was going to do, he still stretched out his hand nervously and handed it to Yu Dan.

Of course, the hands of the small town men have calluses, and in the soft flesh of the palms, they have very hard calluses, and at the same time, they also have some yellow and black colors—probably made by hammering the iron.

Yu Dan looked at it for a while, then raised his eyes to look at this very strong man, and said slowly: "You used to be a blacksmith? ”

The man was stunned, and then said seriously: "It's the same now." ”

Yu Dan raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the small fishing boat used to enter the water to fish.

The man said seriously: "In the past, you can indeed have a good income by making some farm tools for the town and some nearby villages, but adults also know that in recent years, the world has not been very peaceful, and everyone is uneasy, so naturally these needs are less, and if there is no work on weekdays, then catch some fish in the water....."

Yu Dan was silent for a while, and said softly, "I know." ”

The man didn't say any more, looked at this person from the Heavenly Hell who came for no reason, and asked very cautiously, "Your Excellency wants to .....?"

Yu Dan walked along the path where the man had come, and walked until he came to the house in the middle of the reeds, where there were indeed some iron-striking stoves and utensils, but there was no fire in the furnace, and the furnace had probably been extinguished for a long time.

The man silently followed, standing behind Yu Dan, waited for a long time, and did not wait for the answer of this Heavenly Prison Lord, hesitated a little, thinking that he did not hear, so he took a step forward, and was about to ask again, this Heavenly Prison Lord did suddenly put his hand into his sleeve, and the next moment, in the surprised look of this small town man, he pulled out a very poorly shaped sword from the wide robe.

The man stepped back in horror.

Yu Dan turned around with the sword in his hand, turned the sword in his hand upside down, handed the hilt to the man, and said calmly: "I picked up a sword by chance, it doesn't look very beautiful, I hope you can help me recast it." ”

At the moment when Yu Dan turned around with the sword, the man was so frightened that his whole body was wet, and he gasped for breath until he heard the words behind him, so he calmed down a little, calmed down a little, and his eyes fell on the sword in Yu Dan's hand.

This is indeed a very shoddy sword, so much so that when it was inserted in the heart of a white-clothed sword cultivator, it made a certain mountain and river Taoist feel like a rejecting horse.

The man looked at it silently, seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said softly: "It's really okay to cast it, but it's just an adult...... What I build on weekdays are all rural farm tools, but things like swords have only been made when I was an apprentice in Nanyi City before, and they have been abandoned for many years, maybe after the fight, it will be even more ugly than it is now.....

Yu Dan said calmly: "It's okay. ”

Such simple words are probably indeed impossible to refuse.

The man was silent for a long time, then took the sword and said softly, "Wait a while, my lord, it will take a long time for the furnace to burn." ”

Yu Dan nodded and said, "Take your time, don't rush." ”

As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of the small boat that the man was tying to at the water's edge not far away—there were still some fish in the nets of the boat struggling with lack of water.

Yu Dan turned and walked over there.

"You take your time, I'll help you get the fish out."

Only then did the man remember his fish, and said in a loud voice, "Don't dare to bother the adults." ”

Yu Dan just said calmly: "The fish stinks, can it still be sold?" ”

The man said no more, but walked back to the iron-striking stove, ready to strike the sword well—it must not really be more ugly than it had been.

The man looked wistfully at the sword in his hand, and then at the edge of the reeded grass, and the lord of the heavenly prison really got into the boat, where he picked fish from the net one by one.

This is probably a wacky thing to do.

The man was puzzled.

......

The fire burned vigorously.

The two of them stood by the fireside and looked at the iron sword lying quietly in the midst of the coals.

The sky is already approaching evening, and the sunset on the horizon is reflected in the water, and the world after the rain is probably very cold and quiet, especially around such a small town on the banks of the Qingshan River.

Smoke curls from the town, bringing with it the smell of human food.

Although the man didn't want to smell the smell, it was just that the wind in the world didn't understand the meaning of the world, and he still blew the smell very persistently.

The man glanced at the Heavenly Hell Lord beside him, the latter's expression was calm, of course, the people of the Heavenly Hell were all cultivators, so naturally they would not be hungry.

It's just that the man still asked sincerely: "The material of this sword seems to be unusual, maybe it won't soften for a while, are adults hungry, do you want me to make a fish for adults to eat?" ”

Yu Dan turned his head and looked at the man silently for a long time, shook his head, nodded again, and said, "Okay." ”

The man left the fireside with some joy, ran to the bucket where the fish had been put before, picked out a big fish, and squatted at the water's edge, handling the fish very cleanly.

Yu Dan stood by the fireside and watched for a long time.

Heaven and hell are often suspects.

Because there are so many things that can't be proven.

It's like this story.

His Majesty asked Heavenly Hell to come to the south to see if he could still find such a blacksmith from the East China Sea.

It's just that whether it is Liu Qinghe or Yu Dan, it is an incomparable headache for such a thing.

No one has ever seen such a blacksmith in the East China Sea, maybe someone has seen it, but they have forgotten it.

How to find such a person?

And the most important thing is that the only case file that may have a record of such a blacksmith was burned in Nanyi City, and Yu Dan could only trace some clues through the household registration of the Chenghu Division.

It's just that of course, not everyone in the world will be recorded in the city.

Even around Huaidu, there are some people in the world who have not recorded their homes, so naturally they can't know many things exactly.

Yu Dan can only use a very primitive method to test little by little.

What can you see just by looking at it?

Yu Dan was silent for a long time, and raised his hand to take out the red-burned, but still incomparably hard sword from the scorching furnace.

The man was still squatting at the water's edge and cutting through the belly of the fish, pulling out the intestines and eggs and stuff.

Yu Dan carried his sword and walked behind the man.

Whether the hell is good or bad may be a question that the world will not be able to say for another thousand years.

It's just that at least at this moment, when Yu Dan is holding such a red-burning sword......

Yu didn't think about it, he walked to the water's edge with his sword, and slashed at the man's arm with a very swift sword.

The sound of the wind in the twilight is soothing.

It's just the sound of the scorching sword breaking through the wind, but it's extremely powerful.

The man seemed to hear something.

But everything was so fast.

The hand, along with the fish intestines that had not yet been cleaned, fell into the water with a thud.

In this way, the land of water to the east of the town was silent for a long time.

The man looked down at the severed arm in the water, and for a moment he didn't understand where such a familiar-looking hand came from.

Until the burning and incomparably deep pain in the shoulder came.

The man suddenly cried out in pain, and with his remaining hand, he covered the severed right arm, and sat down backwards in panic, and when he saw the Heavenly Hell Lord holding the burning sword with a silent face, the whole person trembled and stepped back in the mud.

"Big ..... Big ....."

The man might have wanted to ask what the Hellmaster wanted to do, but he couldn't say anything in the sudden and intense pain.

Yu Dan's hand holding the sword was very steady.

The blood on the sword was ignited by the heat in an instant, spreading along the sword body, like a twilight sunset.

The people who cast the sword know that the blood of the world is actually a good accelerant, and it is high enough to melt the iron ore, so in the ignorant story of the ancient world, there will be a story of the sword sacrificed by the living.

So the fire on those swords is not a very strange story.

The man's screams continued at the water's edge, and even in the town, people heard it, ran out, and stood in the distance and looked at it from afar.

The flames on the sword gradually subsided, just as twilight would not last long.

Yu Dan was silent for a long time, bent down, and sent the sword in his hand into the water, and the water vapor instantly filled such a waterside place.

"I'm sorry."

The Heavenly Hell Northern Dispatch Envoy didn't look back, quietly looked at the sword that was submerged in the water, and whispered.

The man was just pale, and he sat on the ground at the water's edge in pain, looking at the Heavenly Prison Master who had drawn his sword and hurt people for some reason, full of confusion and trepidation.

It wasn't until the sword completely cooled down that Yu Dan silently took him out, put it in his sleeve, and turned his head to look at the man who had no farm tool business because of the turmoil in the world, so he had to catch some fish to make a living.

"That's all I can try."

Only then did the man finally regain some of his ability to speak, struggling to his feet from the ground, stumbling backwards.

"Why, sir?"

Yu Dan looked at the pool of blood on the ground silently, and it took a long time before he said slowly.

"Because the answer to such a question is too important for the human world."

The man just stood there in pain and bewilderment, blood dripping from his shoulder.

The twilight was in a hurry, and the water and reed grass also became painful, and kept swaying in the wind.

Yu Dan turned away, looked at the man for a long time, and then silently took out a money bag from his arms, put it on the ground, and turned to go in the direction he came.

The people of the small town in the distance watched the scene in silence and horror.

In the story of the war in the South, Heavenly Hell may indeed play a very positive role.

It's just that.

It's just a story that suddenly happened in such a small town, but it reminds the world.

Of course, hell is still hell.

Good and bad in the world may never be opposite.

Everything is struggling, contradictory.
