Chapter 4: Iron Blade City
Bai Sanye's name is Bai Qizhen, speaking of Bai Qizhen, but he is a celebrity, he has a bright head since he was a child, unlike his parents who have lived in Baijia Village all his life, when he was a teenager, he ran away from home and went to a small city in the west of Fengyun Country [Tiefeng City], where he entered an armory workshop as an apprentice, which was thirty years, and he also became a small boss from an apprentice.
Baijia Village is even more legendary Bai Sanye once practiced martial arts with others, generally ten or eight strong men can't get close to him at all, yes, Bai Sanye has faintly become the leader of Baijia Village, highly respected.
Originally, Bai Sanye had already become a family in [Tiefeng City], but after drinking water and thinking of the source, after getting old, he was even more homesick and timid, this time when he came back, he was ready to bring out a few Bai family children, so he returned to Baijia Village and never went out again.
And Bai Xianlun is Bai Qizhen's eldest nephew and close relative, and it was because of him that he cheekily begged him to take away his two sons, and Bai Qizhen readily agreed.
Bai Qizhen looks like he is in his fifties, but he doesn't have a single white hair, he is in great spirits, standing with Bai Xian, Bai Xian is like his uncle.
This time, Bai Qizhen took three people, namely Bai Ye and Bai Xishui, as well as a distant nephew of Bai Qizhen, who also grew up with Bai Ye and Bai Xishui, named Bai Qi, who is five big and three thick, and is about the same age as the two.
Looking at the figures of several people, disappearing at the end of sight, Bai Yunxiang couldn't hold back anymore and cried......
Half a day later, the three of Bai Xishui also walked out of their parting thoughts, and their mood became more cheerful, after all, this was the first time they had left Baijia Village, imagining the prosperity of the city, full of excitement.
"Bai Sanye, what do you say the city is like, are they all rich people?" Bai Xishui asked childishly.
Bai Sanye, who was recuperating in the carriage, glanced at Bai Xishui and said with a smile: "That's not it, there are poor people in the city, but there are more rich people, like the third master, just grab a handful." ”
"Third Master, they all said that you know martial arts, is it true?" Bai Qi, who was driving the car, also turned his head and asked.
"Hehe, why do you also want to learn martial arts? This is not difficult, do you know, the third master I started by casting weapons, and the weapons I cast by the third master are among the best among all soldiers, and the primary weapons used by the immortals in Jianyuan Mountain have the credit of your third master. ”
"Is there really an immortal?" Although he already knew it in his heart, Bai Ye couldn't help but ask what he thought in his heart.
"Whether there are immortals or not, the third master doesn't know, even those immortals in Jianyuan Mountain are not real immortals, but compared to us mortals, they are extremely powerful, and they can live for a long time, saying that they are immortals, there is nothing wrong with it, but unfortunately, that level is not something we can touch. ”
"Third Master, what are the requirements for joining Jianyuan Mountain? Do you think I can do it?" Bai Qi said.
"Hehe, if you want to join Jianyuan Mountain, it's easy to say, it's hard to say, it's also very difficult. Bai Sanye had an unfathomable expression.
"Third master, can you just talk about it?" Bai Xishui couldn't help but be curious and prayed.
"Hehe, okay, let the three of you little ones see each other for a long time. Bai Sanye stroked the three strands of his beard and spoke.
"You also know that we belong to the Fengyun Country, the Fengyun Country is located in the Cangyun Domain, there are ten countries in the Cangyun Domain, our Fengyun Country is in the Ten Kingdoms, and the strength is only average, but behind our Fengyun Country, there is a behemoth, that is, Jianyuan Mountain, Jianyuan Mountain is a sect of cultivating immortals, it is rumored that the disciples of Jianyuan Mountain can spray clouds and spit fog, step on the clouds and swim in the nine skies, and the sea of stars is galloping, for countless years, they have obtained the essence of heaven and earth, and pursued the road of immortality, but those who have such skills are the disciples of the inner sect of Jianyuan Mountain, in the Fengyun Country, there are two huge organizations, that is, Wufeng Academy and Fayun Valley, in our Fengyun Country, as long as they are under the age of fifteen, you can go to this courtyard in a valley to be assessed, if you pass, you can join, become one of the students, and this academy a valley, there will be a big exam every year, as long as you can get the top ten in the assessment, you can join Jianyuan Mountain, have to pass on the immortal law, and then go out of another world. ”
The third master's words made the three little guys envious, and Bai Ye couldn't help asking: "Third master, is the assessment of this courtyard and valley easy?"
Bai Xishui and Bai Qi also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"Easy?" the third master smiled slightly, "Let's put it this way, our Fengyun country has a population of one billion, and there are hundreds of millions of people who participate in the assessment every year, but there are less than a thousand people who can really pass the assessment and become students." ”
"One in 10,000?" Hearing this, the three little ones couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
"This is even more difficult than the college entrance examination in my previous life. Bai Ye was speechless.
Seeing the three little guys hanging their heads, the third master couldn't help laughing and said: "After all, not everyone has that fate, the third master I just didn't have fate back then, so I became a blacksmith, this time take you three little guys out, the third master will also let you try your luck, if you are lucky, it is a carp jumping over the dragon gate, once turned into a dragon, of course, there is no pity if you are unlucky, just follow the third master, even if you can't be rich and expensive, food and clothing are not a problem." ”
Bai Ye's heart is hot, Wufeng Academy and Fayun Valley sound like Tsinghua University and Peking University in the previous life, once he can enter it, life is full of many possibilities, Bai Ye secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must find a way to join Wufeng Academy or Fayun Valley, he doesn't want to be a blacksmith for the rest of his life.
"Third master, have you ever seen an immortal?"
"The third master doesn't have that blessing, even if it is His Majesty the Emperor of our Fengyun Country, when he sees the immortal master of Jianyuan Mountain, he must be respectful, and it is impossible for us ordinary people to see it. ”
"Third Master, tell us about Tiefeng City again......"
Along the way, the three of Bai Ye have gained a lot of insight through the third master, and also learned that although Tiefeng City is in the Fengyun Kingdom, it is just a small city, but because of the outside of Tiefeng City, in the Black Stone Mountain, there is a huge iron ore vein, which makes the casting industry of the Iron Blade City very prosperous, and even in the iron ore in the Black Stone Mountain, a small amount of black iron ore can often be dug out, and the black iron ore is the best material for casting the black iron sword, and the black iron sword, even if it is the army of the Fengyun Country, is rarely equipped, this is because the annual output of Tiefeng City is less than a thousand, most of which are transported to the Wufeng Academy and Fayun Valley, as the training weapon of the academy, of course, some of the best products are sent to Jianyuan Mountain, as a weapon for introductory disciples.
This also makes the humble city of Tiefeng City very prosperous, and there is a thousand-strong team of Fengyun Country soldiers stationed all year round.
After walking like this for a day, at ten points in the evening, the group finally arrived outside Tiefeng City, when they saw the city in front of them, except for Bai Ye, Bai Xishui and Bai Qi all opened their mouths wide, looking at the city wall that was ten zhang high, they were very shocked.
"Go quickly, and enter the city before dark, or the gates will be closed, and we will have to camp out of the city. The third master snorted. Bai Qi hurriedly flicked the leather whip and let the carriage run quickly.
Came to the city gate, got off the carriage, Bai Sanye took the three of them towards the city gate, at the city gate, there were two teams of armor, wearing iron armor, holding spears, hanging iron swords from their waists, exuding a fierce atmosphere, making the three little guys tremble, and they didn't even dare to say it out loud.
Maybe it was because it was almost dark, there were not many people at the city gate, and soon it was Bai Ye's turn, and Bai Sanye handed over four ingots of silver before being released.
Bai Ye's eyes were very poisonous, and he could see at a glance that everyone's entrance fee to the city was twenty taels of silver, which also made him understand why Bai Sanye only brought three people, even with the third master's net worth, there was not enough money to bring more people.
Entering the city, the third master took them to turn around, and finally stopped in front of a remote stone house, the stone house was pitch black, entered the courtyard gate, there were two stoves in front of the door, which had been extinguished for a long time, on the side, there were some hammers and the like, the third master closed the door, put down the luggage, tied the horse, and then pointed to the west house, and said to the three people:" The three of you will sleep in the West House temporarily, tomorrow in Tiefeng City, there will be a test bench in one courtyard and one valley, once a month, I will take you to try your luck, and it will destroy your hopes, and in the future, I will honestly fight iron casting swords, and the third master's decades of craftsmanship cannot be lost, right?"
After speaking, he muttered and walked towards the main house, the third master went back as early as this time, and brought his wife back, originally they had a son, but he died in middle age, and he didn't know how he died, the third master never mentioned it, and the neighbors were naturally not easy to ask.
Yes, except for the three little guys of Bai Ye, there is only one third master here.
Entered the West House, it is a large shop, there are five sets of bedding, although the bedding is a little whitish because of the age, but it is very dry and tidy, obviously often taken out to dry, the three of them have not passed the freshness, put down the bedding, and then went to the yard, in the east of the yard, there is a drainage pool, and a well, next to the well is a stone tank, there is a large half of the water in the stone tank, the three of them washed it, returned to the house, and lay on the bed.
"Xiao Ye, you said that the third master will take us to the test tomorrow, can any of the three of us pass it?" Bai Xishui was still not sleepy, turned around, and looked at Bai Ye.
"Leave it to fate. Bai Qi said with a smile, "The third master also said that the probability is smaller than picking up a piece of gold on the mountain." ”
Bai Xishui couldn't help but glance at Bai Ye when he heard this.
Bai Ye didn't pay attention to the two, he was quietly savoring the book of heaven in his mind, since it was a book from heaven, it must be very awesome to think about, this is Bai Ye's conclusion, the old man who earned this body with himself at that time attached great importance to this book, and it would not be just a simple book to read feng shui.
The content of the book is very complex, it can be said to be all-encompassing, dabbling in three religions and nine streams, talking about the heavens and the earth, even if Bai Ye has no confidence, he can read it all in this life.
He roughly browsed.
"Chaos spreads from heaven and earth, Xuanhuang turns into five qi, five qi gives birth to five spirits, and all things in all worlds arise. ”
Looking at the general outline of the Kanyu Heavenly Book, Bai Ye fell into thought, he didn't understand, who wrote the Kanyu Heavenly Book, but judging from the wonder in it, I am afraid that it is an earth-shattering character, in addition to talking about the heavens and the earth, the laws of the avenue contained in the mountains and rivers and landforms, simplified, contained in the feng shui, but also through the large array, the power of the mountains and rivers and the leylines can be gathered, and help practice.
In the Book of Heaven, there are a total of nine methods, and each of them can be cultivated to the end, and it can pull out the mountains and split the sea, and cross the nine heavens.
Of course, this is a record in the book of Kanyutian, and Bai Ye was surprised, but also a little unbelievable.
