Chapter 22: Meet the Master

"The juniors really don't have any money!"

Zhang Fengmian's face was full of helplessness, he didn't want to shirk his responsibility or anything, but he was really poor and penniless now. It's a lot more depressed than when I first came to Moon Bay.

All his money was spent on finding suitable sword-forging tools, and there was no surplus for this old man.

But the old man didn't care about this, he looked like a scoundrel, dragging Zhang Fengmian's arm and rolling around.

Zhang Fengmian looked at him helplessly, hoping that someone would come over to save him at this time, otherwise he didn't know how long he would be entangled.

It is estimated that the old man was indifferent when he saw Zhang Fengmian, and he was tired of tossing, so he let go of his hand.

Zhang Fengmian took this opportunity to quickly withdraw his arm, shook it, leaned over and bowed, and planned to leave. I didn't notice that the old man behind him frowned, and muttered, "How is this feeling a little wrong?" ”

In the next few days, in order to avoid the old man, Zhang Fengmian simply nested directly in his residence and did not go out for several days. In the end, he remembered the old man's down-and-out appearance, and suddenly felt a little pitiful.

"At such an old age, with no children and no daughters, and he is deranged and reduced to a beggar, this old man's life is a little miserable. I haven't been out of the sect for the past few days, and I don't know if he's gone? ”

Zhang Fengmian pinched his chin, thought hard, and thought about it in the end, he decided to go to the gate of the sect to have a look, and he didn't forget to bring a few dough cakes when he left.

When he arrived at the gate, Zhang Fengmian didn't see the figure of the old man, and thought that he had already left, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he found that there seemed to be some movement above his head.

He looked up and saw the old beggar sitting in front of the archway above the gate, his face washed with water, his hair tied up in a proper manner, and he sat upright.

Zhang Fengmian looked at the old man in astonishment, you must know that this archway is extremely high, and there is nowhere to help, not to mention the old man, even if it is an ordinary strong guy, it is definitely not easy to climb up. Even he had to work hard.

But how did this old man get there?

Before Zhang Fengmian could think deeply, the old man opened his eyes, he stared at Zhang Fengmian for a while, and then jumped down.

Zhang Fengmian looked at this strange old man with strong skills in disbelief, and was speechless in shock.

Maybe it's because his face is clean, and the old man looks much more normal than last time. The way he looked at Zhang Fengmian was no longer that kind of scoundrel gaze, but a little sad.

He stared at the broken sword that Zhang Fengmian carried with him at any time, and after a long time, he bowed down.

Zhang Fengmian was confused, how could he afford such a big gift, and was about to step forward to help the old man up, when he heard the sound of the broken sword behind him.

A gray mist-like thing surged out of the broken sword, turned into a human form beside Zhang Fengmian, and bowed to the old man in the same way.

Zhang Fengmian's eyes moved back and forth between Chaos and the old man, looking at the happy eyes of the old man when he looked at Chaos, old friends reunited after a long absence, Zhang Fengmian asked tentatively, "Do you know?" ”

Chaos nodded and said slowly, "Old friend." ”

Zhang Fengmian nodded, and was about to say something, when the old man suddenly spoke.

He glanced at Zhang Fengmian, tears flashed in his eyes, and then frowned at Chaos and asked, "This kid is not him, what happened in that battle thousands of years ago?" ”

Chaos let out a long sigh and told the old man about the battle between himself and his master a thousand years ago.

After listening to this, the teardrops that had been circling in the old man's eyes came out directly, and he lamented: "His talent is so amazing and brilliant that he can't even break through the gate of heaven, and in the end, his soul is forbidden, and he ends up with a miserable end that will never be reincarnated." ”

Chaos nodded, his voice was sad, and said, "Yes, the master's soul is too hard, they can't destroy it, so they can only seal it." But it doesn't matter, I'm still here, and I'm sure that with my help, the new master of this life will be able to accomplish feats he hasn't accomplished before. ”

After speaking, the eyes of both fell on Zhang Fengmian.

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "I originally thought that guy was reincarnated and wanted to make a joke with him." I never thought that I would make the wrong object and make this little friend laugh, what a mistake. ”

He walked up to Zhang Fengmian, patted the latter on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You can unlock the seal of Chaos, which means that you have a fate with him, since he is no longer reincarnated, you have become the new master of Chaos." Then I originally prepared a meeting gift for him in this life, so I will give it to you! ”

After speaking, the old man took out a palm-sized, milky white bone carving ghost ball.

There are a total of 24 layers inside and outside this ghost work ball, which are carved with the sun, moon and stars, flowers, birds, fish and insects, birds and beasts, rivers, lakes and seas, famous mountains and mountains, gods, men and fierce spirits, and sages and classics......

Everything in heaven and earth is covered by it, and the breadth of content is jaw-dropping. And if you look closely at the hollow part in the middle of this ghost ball, you can see the vast universe and the boundless sea of stars.

Zhang Fengmian was shocked by this ingenious and exquisite magic weapon, his eyes were full of incredulity, although he didn't know much at the moment, but he could see at a glance that this thing was definitely not simple.

Looking at Zhang Fengmian's stunned demented appearance, the old man laughed.

"This ghost ball, but the old man exhausted everything he had for the rest of his life, collected the bones of twenty-four ancient immortals and murderer spirit birds, and used up half of his cultivation before refining it. It is also the pioneering work of the old man from refining heavy tools to refining smart tools, of course, maybe it will be the last work. ”

When the old man said this, his eyes were a little lonely, and he said, "It's a pity that that guy can't see it." But ......" The old man looked at Zhang Fengmian and continued, "It's also excellent to be able to hand it over to you." I've heard you've been looking for forged furnace tools lately, and it just so happens that with it, your swordsmithing plans can officially begin. ”

As he spoke, the old man handed the ghost ball in his hand to Zhang Fengmian.

Zhang Fengmian still had the heart to explore how the old man knew that he was going to forge a sword at this time, he looked at the treasure handed over by the old man, trembled all over, and stopped with both hands.

He did need a casting tool now, but the thing the old man gave him was not an ordinary casting vessel. How could he afford such a valuable gift?

"Take it." Chaos looked at Zhang Fengmian and said with a smile.

Zhang Fengmian frowned, bowed to the old man, and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the old man, the younger generation does need casting tools now, but this gift of the old gentleman is too valuable, and the younger generation has never done anything for the old man, so he is really worthy of the favor of the old gentleman." ”

When the old man heard this, he raised his head and laughed, and said, "You kid, you can't be the new master of Chaos, you seem to be harmless to humans and animals, and your heart and eyes are no less than that guy." ”

The old man looked appreciative and patted Zhang Fengmian on the shoulder.

"In this life, the old man has accomplished nothing except the casting thing. But now that I am old, my body is decaying, my cultivation is declining, and I am no longer able to cast the ingenious good things that capture the heavens, but my ability to cast a body must not be lost because of this. The old man's face suddenly became serious, and he stared at Zhang Fengmian's eyes, his gaze was like a torch, burning.

"Zhang Fengmian, are you willing to become my disciple?"

When Zhang Fengmian heard this, he made a big bow to the old man without saying a word, and after kowtowing respectfully three times, he looked solemn and said, "Disciple Zhang Fengmian, meet the master." ”
