Lu An was shirtless, showing a strong muscle, carrying a pot of wine and a bag of steamed buns in his hand, walking on a road full of fireworks, greeting the people next to him as he walked.

It has been a year since the battle in Chaxian, and that time Lu An was seriously injured, and he was groggy and half-asleep for a whole month, and when he came to his senses, he had been clearly brought to this city, the city of craftsmen, a city full of legends.

The craftsman city is said to have existed for countless years, it can be said that it is the oldest city in the five places, since people have memory, the city has existed, starting from the first small blacksmith shop, slowly expanding to the surrounding area, gradually extending, and finally developing into a huge city, the geographical location is at the junction of the three dynasties of the Great Shang, the Great Zhou, the Great Han, and the three dynasties, it can be said that it belongs to a three-regardless zone.

In the past, the three major dynasties all wanted to take this golden egg-laying city for themselves, but in the end they all failed, and the reasons for the failure have their own theories, but in the end they all failed, so it can be said that this is a gathering place for fugitives in the north again, here, no matter who you are, if you come in, it is safe, and what did you do before no one cares about you in the craftsman city.

Of course, after entering the Craftsman City, the three dynasties are also as if they have discussed, so they don't know, but they don't do whatever they want here, there is the City Lord's Mansion to maintain law and order, so they can't make trouble here, and they can't disturb the order of the Craftsman City, otherwise the City Lord's Mansion of the Craftsman City will come to take care of you, no matter who you are, you will be expelled, or obliterated, no exception. But killing people here is not illegal, so it is also a good place for revenge, and Lu An has already witnessed dozens of cases with his own eyes, so it is not surprising.

There is also a craftsman city is a commercial place that lays golden eggs, here, as long as you bid the right price, you can buy what you want, if you don't have it for the time being, you can also offer a reward in the auction house, the auction house here is directly under the city lord's mansion, and it is not allowed to get tired, so a new group of people was born, You Banglang, who doesn't do anything, just stares at those bounty tasks, and there are a large number of people, generally speaking, a single is enough to eat for a year, commonly known as rangers.

The most famous thing here is its weapons, the name of the craftsman city is by no means in vain, the golden egg of the craftsman city is more dazzling under the backdrop of a handful of heavenly soldiers. As long as the weapons produced in the craftsman city are generally good goods, the most famous in recent years is the auction of a heavenly soldier, the sky, this sword alone has attracted dozens of top families in the five places, sects came over, and finally sold at a sky-high price. Let everyone be full of desire for the city of craftsmen, this is the attraction of this city, you can have everything.

There is also a legendary character in the Craftsman City, the city lord of the Craftsman City, a 10-grade martial arts master, and a cultivator of the Shangsanqing Dynasty, the first martial arts double cultivator and all of them have reached the grandmaster level, in terms of strength, he may be one of the best in the five major plates, and some people call him the strongest in the north, even the old man who understands this statement agrees with this statement, and admires this person to the extreme, which may be the reason why everyone is willing to abide by the rules of the Craftsman City.

Another point, the craftsman city has a special good impression of businessmen, here the interests of merchants can be the greatest guarantee, the shops in the craftsman city belong to the permanent, by the permanent protection of the craftsman city, do not need to pay rent, do not have to pay taxes, the importance of merchants is greater than the customer, you want to close the door, you want to open the door, you can have a lot of customers, but there are so many merchants who can open a store here, so in a word, love to buy or not, do not buy the next one still someone buys, so if you have a shop in the craftsman city can be said, you don't have to worry about this life, just the rent can be enough for you to eat for a lifetime。

Of course, there must be other wind and dust flavors in such a lively city, so the sum of various factors makes the craftsman city a legendary city, which makes people linger and reluctant to leave.

And it just so happened that he understood that there was a small blacksmith shop here, and after Lu An knew the value of a shop here, Lu An was suspicious of the old man's worth again, and the news that he finally inquired about turned out to be ancestral?

The two of them can be regarded as living in this small blacksmith shop, and Lu An has nowhere to go anyway, so he should honestly recuperate here.

As a place where heavenly soldiers are produced every year, the craftsman city has always been a holy place for blacksmiths, especially there is a group of old blacksmiths here, who are particularly popular, generally speaking, the older they are, the higher their qualifications, the greater their ability, and the number of people who come to learn from them every year is countless.

Even some people, seeing a white-bearded old man, don't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, worship first, and then say, forcibly hug the thighs to let people accept apprentices, once there was a lucky person who really succeeded, the other party is an old blacksmith with the title of master craftsman, and then more people imitate this method, especially popular, and later it was the city lord's mansion who came out to preside over the rules, so that this strange atmosphere disappeared.

But when it comes time to hold the blacksmith competition, there will still be many people who come to the craftsman city to show their hands, or plan to learn from the master, because this time is also the time when the older generation shows up the most.

In this year, in addition to recuperating from injuries, Lu An is to study, learn to strike iron, clearly speaking, proper exercise, good for internal injuries, Lu An will be suspicious, after trying a few times, found that the effect is still very good, so he was so confused to play iron for a year, it just happened that he did not have a suitable weapon now, so he thought that he could give himself a sword to try, and learn more craft, it is better than nothing.

However, Lu An didn't find someone to apprentice, that is, he claimed to be a master and understood that he would take a hammer to teach in the east and fight in the west, Lu An had been fighting for a year without a head, and now he can be regarded as having a good look, but what is the level, Lu An himself has no bottom, and he always feels that he is still a little hot.

Today is also a day of iron, hot sweat, so I went to the wine shop next door to buy a pot of wine, this year, Lu An's injury is not thorough, but the wine is drinking more and more, a day without drinking will feel uncomfortable.

Wandering back to the blacksmith shop, he understood that he was very comfortable, lying on a bamboo chair, shaking a fan, closing his eyes to recuperate, and hearing Lu An coming back, he said: "I know how to drink every day, and I can drink better than me." ”

Lu An pretended not to hear, walked to the side, picked up a freshly formed sword embryo, touched it in the east, knocked it in the west, and then shook his head with a look of disgust.

Knowing that he saw it in his eyes, he smiled and said: "You have been studying for a year, and the heat is still far away, but your kid's vision is quite good, let's talk about it, what is wrong with the sword embryo just now?"

"The hardness is good, the toughness is good, and the sound is crisp, but after a few swings, it always feels like this sword is a bit top-heavy. Lu An replied.

"Well, if you want to create a top-level weapon, the material is very important, you use ordinary wool iron, no matter how you forge it, in the end it will definitely not be as good as a weapon made of meteoric iron, but an excellent forger can narrow the gap between the two, and through unique techniques and processes, turn decay into magic. One of the most important is the repeated superimposed hammering, as well as quenching, just that, the hardness, toughness are very good, indicating that the quenching is in place, but you feel that there is a problem with the weight distribution of the sword, which means that you have not beaten enough, and the understanding of it is not enough, so that you can use all the strength of your milk, through beating again and again, so that the weight of the sword is evenly distributed, and there will be no top-heavy feeling just now. "Understood, and said a bunch of empty words.

Every time Lu An heard this, he habitually chose to ignore it, this year, Lu An is here alone, never seen a real demonstration of picking up a hammer, after half a year of hard practice, he began to try, every time he finishes a handful, although it is not perfect, but the quality is not bad, it will be clearly sold, a white beard, the appearance of a master, standing in front of the shop, selling.

And his image, coupled with his style, others believe it is true, thinking that they have picked up a treasure, and they all buy it at a high price and leave, although the price is not expensive, but Lu An shook his head when he saw it, shameless.

"The words are going to say, then you come and I'll take a look?" Lu An asked rhetorically.

Hearing this, he understood and shut up again, stretched his waist, and said: "Today's day is not good, it is written in the yellow calendar that it is not suitable to move iron." ”

Lu An has been accustomed to this method, for various reasons, and sure enough, the salt in the past few decades has not been eaten for nothing.

Lu An quietly drank the wine by himself, so he began to condition his body, since that time he was affected, he was hit hard, the whole person's internal organs were half injured, and the meridians were broken a lot, and he thought he was only slightly injured at the time, and then he was in a coma, and he understood that he carried himself around to find someone for treatment, and everyone basically shook their heads when they saw it, and they were in a coma for a whole month, and even understood that they could not hold it at any time, but in the end they still inexplicably supported it to the craftsman city, and even the injury began to improve, which surprised Ming for a month。

At that time, Lu An's body was too weak, and the so-called panacea did not dare to take it easily, for fear that the medicine would be too strong, and he would help him accidentally if he was not careful, so he could only let Lu An recover slowly, and the result was beyond everyone's expectations, Lu An really recovered by himself, without taking medicine, and slowly recovered by himself, in their eyes, Lu An is such an ordinary person, he will have such a strong recovery power, which makes everyone feel strange, and there are even a few old men who want to study Lu An's body, of course, these people have been driven away by understanding。

That's it, at the beginning, the speed of recovery was very fast, but later, the speed of recovery became slower and slower, during this time, Lu An obviously felt that the effect of the injury he had conditioned was getting worse and worse, can it be said that even if it is good, it may leave a little hidden danger in the end, it is best to hope that there will be no such result, and this hurdle can be broken through as soon as possible.

In this way, after a long while, Lu An was still immersed in healing, wanting to break through this blockage in one go, without feeling the passage of time at all.

On the side, I understood that Lu An was still healing after spending so much time today, and he was sweating profusely. So he walked over, and with a knife, Lu An fainted.

After a long while, Lu An touched his neck, first moved, turned his neck, and then walked to understand, and said, "Again?"

Clearly spread his hands, and said innocently: "If I don't stun you again, you will have an accident, you are in too haste, boy, sometimes you have to take it easy, don't underestimate this injury, for people like us who study martial arts and cultivate the Tao, we must be treated carefully, for fear of leaving a little hidden danger and letting there be a crack in our future avenue, which will outweigh the loss." ”

Lu An nodded, although this old man was verbose, some things were still very reasonable, and he couldn't help but listen, but he couldn't listen to them all.

Then he asked: "Then what should I do, it's been a year, and when I was conditioning myself recently, I found that the effect was getting worse and worse, and I had an obvious feeling that this injury might never heal just by relying on this." ”

Knowing this, he touched his beard, thought for a while, frowned, and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't say why, hehe smiled and said that he would find a friend to ask tomorrow, and let Lu An rest for the past two days.

Lu An nodded, indicating that he understood.

The next day.

When Lu An got up, he found that the old man was gone, and Lu An was not surprised, whenever this time, when the old man went out to find someone to meet friends, or to do errands, at least a day or two, or more than three or four days, he would definitely come back, it seems that the old man is still very concerned about his injury, he said it yesterday, and he set off today.

Lu An yawned, opened the door, and squatted at the door to eat breakfast.

The two blacksmith shops next door had also opened, and the two white-haired old men on the side took a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, and slowly walked to Lu An's side, squatted down, and took a look at what was in Lu An's bowl.

Lu An saw these two old men appear beside him, and skillfully took out three steamed buns from behind him, as well as a plate of pickled cucumbers.

The two old men smiled, and one took a steamed bun and ate it with this plate of cucumbers in sauce.

Lu An raised his head and looked around, looking around for a long time, just about to put away the extra steamed bun.

In the distance, a figure hurriedly ran over, came to Lu An's face, held Lu An's shoulder and began to gasp for breath, and then stopped Lu An's action of collecting steamed buns with one hand.

After a while, he finally spoke. "I'm sorry, Xiao An, I overslept today, I almost didn't catch up, yo, today is pickled cucumber, not bad, I like it." ”

"Call brother!" Lu An said.

"Let me call my brother, give me a ride in the morning, and let people have a good breakfast?" the man ruffled his hair, lifted the torn clothes on his body, and said stubbornly.

"Do you still want to eat?" Lu An said.

"Master, I'm not such a person!" said with an arrogant face.

"Oh. After Lu An finished speaking, he was ready to put away the steamed buns.

"Okay, Brother An. After saying that, he began to giggle.

Lu An looked at this smirk, laughed himself, and handed him the steamed bun.

The boy is about the same age as Lu An, his body is very dirty, his clothes are very shabby, and he laughs silly, but the boy has a name that is very upright when he hears it, Xia Luo.
