Chapter 107: The Mayor's Kindness
In the shop, a few worn-out chairs, plus a worn-out table, and no fire in the oven, seemed too simple and shabby.
However, in the early years, Chu Nan often came over to chat with Uncle Lu, rubbing rice, and fruit snacks.
"Show it." Old Uncle Lu rubbed his hands and said to Chu Nan with a smile.
Chu Nan mobilized his energy, pressed it on the ground with one hand, and carefully opened the space utensils, and in an instant, a stone with a radius of three feet appeared in the room.
The moment the stone appeared, the vitality and aura in the room quickly surged.
Old Uncle Lu saw that the situation was wrong, so he hurriedly waved his sleeves and cut off the breath.
Lao Chen opened the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye and looked at this stone carefully, the stone was integrated, it was Lao Chen's Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, and he couldn't see the laws of the Great Dao inside, and he couldn't even see what kind of substance this was.
"Where did you get it?" Old Chen asked in surprise.
Chu Nan said truthfully: "In the Yunmeng Mountain Range, in a lake, after nightfall, the water in the lake will turn into a whole layer of ice, I used the dragon slaying platform to break through the ice, and it took a lot of effort to get this stone. ”
Lao Chen was thoughtful, Old Uncle Lu squatted on the ground and reached out to touch this stone, no matter how Lao Lu perceived it, he couldn't figure out the number of roads, but Lao Lu just saw at a glance that the moment an ordinary blade touched this stone, it would crumble.
"Your knife was broken on this stone?" Old Uncle Lu asked.
Chu Nan shook his head and said, "No, it was broken under the Taimang sword again, which is a bit of a coincidence." ”
Lao Lu disagreed, he has always been very confident in his casting process, and if he broke under the Taimang sword, it was not considered to have smashed his own signboard.
Chu Nan saw that the expressions on the faces of the two elders were solemn and deep, and he said with a slight emptiness: "I wonder if this stone can cast a new knife?" ”
"If it doesn't work, then I'll put it away first, and I'll talk about it when the time is right later."
The two elders ignored Chu Nan and instead stared at each other.
The two looked at each other, their eyes were meaningful, and after they lasted for an unknown amount of time, Old Uncle Lu took the lead and said, "Can you see it?" ”
Lao Chen smiled playfully and said, "Don't you see it?" ”
Old Uncle Lu laughed and said, "Sure enough, they are all foxes who have become spirits, and no one can hide from anyone." ”
Lao Chen said to Chu Nan at this time: "This is not a stone, this is the crystallization of the convergence of Xuanhuang Qi, you can get a fist-sized piece, it is already a great creation, you kid is lucky, you got such a whole piece." ”
"Whether it's sacrificing magic weapons or casting weapons, this is a divine product."
Chu Nan was blinded, and the aura of Xuanhuang, in Chu Nan's impression, has always belonged to the legendary thing.
Old Uncle Lu looked at Chu Nan seriously and said, "You can cast a knife, but you need to be rewarded, this piece of Xuanhuang crystal, you need to share it with me." ”
"You make your own decisions."
This stone is enough for many prominent figures in the famous sect to go out together, and then fight to the death.
Chu Nan knew the value of this stone, but Chu Nan had always been a frank and unrestrained person, and responded with a smile: "If Uncle says how much, then how much." ”
Old Uncle Lu looked at Chu Nan with a wicked smile on his face and said, "So generous, don't bargain?" ”
Chu Nan responded in a chic manner: "It's all my own people, why bother to settle these accounts, I didn't get this stone by fighting life and death, if I really went through nine deaths and a lifetime to get this stone, maybe I would also become cautious and stingy." ”
Old Uncle Lu didn't know what to say for a while.
Lao Chen also didn't speak, which was really surprising.
Old Uncle Lu stood up and pondered: "Tell you in advance, it will take 7749 days to successfully forge your knife, you need to wait patiently." ”
"You shouldn't be in a hurry to cut people right now, right?"
Forty-nine days is not a long time, after all, it is a piece of Xuanhuang crystal.
Chu Nan responded: "Okay, then there will be Uncle Lao." ”
Old Uncle Lu patted Chu Nan's shoulder with enthusiasm and said, "Little guy, with this knife, you can hold up the glory of Xizhou Martial Arts in the future." ”
Chu Nan smiled and said nothing, the glory is not in the knife, but in the person.
Old Uncle Lu turned around and entered the shop, took out a new knife and handed it to Chu Nan, and said, "Same as the previous knife, it will still break when you meet that Taimang, for the time being, you can use it first, and you don't need to give money." ”
Chu Nan took it and bowed slightly, "Thank you." ”
Old Uncle Lu smiled knowingly and said, "I heard that you brought a friend to Longchang Town this time?" ”
Chu Nan was a little surprised, Old Uncle Lu didn't seem to be a person who paid attention to right and wrong, how could the news be transmitted so quickly, and said: "She is leaving today, and Gong Xue's predecessors are old friends, and we met by accident." ”
Old Lu Le smiled and said: "The essence in your body is pure and flawless, try to deal with elderly women as little as possible, don't squeeze you dry up one day, you can only be empty and sad." ”
Chu Nan's scalp was slightly numb, and he said with a dry smile: "Thank you Uncle Lu for your order." ”
"Then Uncle Lu will be busy first, and the old man and I will go first."
Lao Lu snorted, glanced at the Xuanhuang crystals on the ground, and deep in his heart had not been so enthusiastic as he was now.
But 7749 days is also a long time for a person who can't wait.
On the way back, Chu Nan tried his best to calm down, of course he was looking forward to the new knife, and he had to press everything in the depths of his heart, the true meaning of the knife was hidden.
Lao Chen deliberately quipped: "Don't you want to get a new knife tonight?" ”
Chu Nan Shi Ran responded: "I can't talk about it." ”
Unconsciously, an old man and a young man came to the door of the house, and at the door stood a burly old man in brocade clothes, about sixty years old, with silver hair, soft contours, and a long and strong body.
Seeing this person, Chu Nan looked surprised, and hurriedly bowed slightly and said, "Chu Nan has seen the town elder. ”
The mayor of Longchang Town is by no means comparable to the county guards in the outside world.
Lao Chen also saluted, and the mayor rarely visited the door on weekdays, whether it was a poor family or a rich family, the mayor would not visit easily.
The mayor of the town looked at Chu Nan at the moment, and said with a subtle smile: "After the moon shines, it is really radiant, and it is a talent." ”
Chu Nan smiled faintly, made an invitation gesture and said, "Please inside." ”
The mayor snorted and walked slowly into the courtyard.
After entering the inner hall, Lao Chen hurriedly went to serve tea and pour water, and Chu Nan said apologetically; "I don't know that your old man came here in person today, and I hope you have been waiting outside for a while, Chu Nan feels deeply guilty."
The mayor sat on the chair casually, looking at Chu Nan with admiration in his eyes, the children of poor families have long been in charge, and Chu Nan is more thoughtful than many elderly people.
But Chu Nan is not a child from a poor family, if the child's parents are still there, it is estimated that he will feel glorious for this unicorn.
Lao Chen came slowly and handed the tea to the mayor.
"As far as I know, on the way to Xizhou, you had a battle with Wu Ke, why don't you kill you?" The mayor asked patiently with a smile on his face.
Chu Nan said from the goodness: "They are all from their hometown, and they kill each other outside, which is disgraceful." ”
The town elder smiled and said, "But Wu Ke is planning to kill you." ”
"Are you jealous of the forces behind the Wu family?"
If there was a child with parents on the other side, the town elder would not ask such a question, but he was Chu Nan.
Chu Nan said: "What is there to be afraid of, the four heavenly kings are all facing me, in this town, the old Wu family really can't do anything about me, but I can let the four heavenly kings teach the old Wu family a lesson again." ”
The mayor couldn't help but laugh, this is not a young man's demeanor, even if an adult has such a sharp weapon as the Four Heavenly Kings, he will have the confidence to say such words.
Some adults may not be as humble and cautious as teenagers.
The mayor said, "In the depths of Xizhou, have you ever met Wu Ke?" ”
Chu Nan comprehended, and asked instead of answering: "You can come to me today, you should know that I have a good relationship with Qin Guang of Dayuan Academy, and Wu Ke also has a good relationship with that scholar named Zhou Feng." ”
"Let's get straight to the point, you don't need to test my bottom line."
"I've always been very easygoing, you know that."
The mayor smiled implicitly, "I mean, in a convenient situation, have you ever met Wu Ke?" ”
Chu Nan came back to his senses at this time, and he was sloppy.
"Yes, you can't talk about a smile and enmity, and you can't talk about a gentleman's friendship that is as light as water, you can only say that you have nothing to do with each other."
The town elder took a sip of the teacup and said: "The civil war broke out in Xizhou, and the Wu family has sent a general to the battlefield. ”
"After that, the sons of Longchang Town are going to Dongzhou for trial."
"The sky in Xizhou is falling, and the sky in Dongzhou is also fast."
"Roughly within a few years, the world will change."
Chu Nan remembered the conversation with Xiong Xiaomeng in the past, is the sea really going to be crosscurrent?
The town elder suddenly said in an accentuated tone: "I hope you can become the leader of the young people, and go to Dongzhou on behalf of my Longchang Town Erlang." ”
Chu Nan's heart sank, in his impression, the town elder had never paid too much attention to himself.
"Let's let Wu Ke go, Wu Ke is a monk, I am a martial artist, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Chu Nan said thoughtfully.
When Lao Chen told Chu Nan the news before, Chu Nan had already made a decision.
If he really became the leader of Longchang Town, I really don't know how many ups and downs he would provoke.
The mayor smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will be your backer, and I will do my best to overcome public opinion when the time comes." ”
"Besides, many people already know that Wu Ke has become your defeated man."
Chu Nan knew that with the Wu family's status and prestige in Longchang Town, it was not enough to shake the position of the town elder, but he didn't understand why the town chief was suddenly optimistic about himself.
"Why?" Chu Nan said bluntly.
The town elder put down the teacup in his hand, stared at Chu Nan's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Among the younger generation, you are the only one who is handsome. ”
"Maybe if you go to Dongzhou, you may not have any gains, and you may even die in a foreign land, but the position of the leader is naturally determined according to the size of your ability and the lack of ability and ability."
"At this point, the old man of the Wu family has to pinch his nose to admit it."
"Wu Ke is indeed good, but it is somewhat uninteresting."
Chu Nan was very embarrassed in his heart, for the position of the leader, Chu Nan did not have such a heavy vanity, and he also knew that if he became the leader, the people in the town would look up to him, and he would have to avoid a lot of unnecessary eyes and troubles.
"Thank you for your attention, I don't want to be the leader." Chu Nan thought about it and answered it firmly.
It is incumbent on Chu Nan to do something for his hometown and Xizhou, but for other things, Chu Nan has no ambition.
The mayor laughed and said, "You're so chic." ”
"Do you want a solo fight?"
Chu Nan didn't know how to answer the town chief, so he was silent.
Seeing this, the town chief did not continue to put pressure on Chu Nan on this matter, and stood up and said: "In the near future, I will restrain some people, and your industrial foundation in the town will be safe and sound." ”
"If you figure it out, feel free to come to me."
