Chapter 195: The Name of the Divine Craftsman
() "You...... You are so bold!" Nangong Hui was amazed, the middle-grade magic knife that had accompanied him for many years was actually cut off by this strange man in front of him!
Nangong Ting clapped his hands and laughed: "Haha, good, good! Nangong Hui, Brother Xiao is our friend, and he has no grievances with you, and we all see that you are the first to do it, and it is reasonable for you to be wrong." Now that you've been ruined, you've had nothing to say, right?"
Nangong Xue was surprised and a little uneasy, surprised that Xiao Tianhe had such courage and ability, and uneasy because he had formed a bond with Nangong Hui in this way.
"Arrest him!" Nangong Hui waved his hand, and a group of subordinates immediately drew their knives and dismounted and surrounded him.
Xiao Tianhe was not afraid of danger, and looked around at this group of people with cold eyes.
Nangong Ting was anxious: "He is a distinguished guest of my Nangong family, I will see which of you will rush him!"
"Just do it, I'll take care of everything for you!Kill him for me!" Nangong Qiu's sharp voice sounded particularly harsh.
Among this group of people, the highest realm is the late stage of the void and the underworld, Xiao Tianhe practiced the wonderful "Dragon Tour" body method, and there was no problem in getting out of it. can see Nangong Hui and Nangong Qiu's bad attitude towards Nangong Xue and Nangong Ting, Xiao Tianhe was afraid that the two of them would suffer a big loss if they left, so he calmly analyzed in his heart: "It stands to reason that this group of minions would not dare to do anything to the people of the Nangong family, so although Nangong Xue and Nangong Ting are not the opponents of Nangong Hui and Nangong Qiu, fortunately, I have destroyed Nangong Hui's blade just now." It seems that in the current situation, the best strategy is for me to attract a gang and create a chance for Nangong Xue and his brother to escape. ”
"Stop it all!" Nangong Xue shouted, "Nangong Hui, I warn you, I have already informed the master just now, he will be able to come in a moment, and you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around then!"
The minions didn't dare to move, and looked at Nangong Hui one after another.
Nangong Hui was so angry that her face turned pale, Nangong Xue's master was famous for protecting her shortcomings, so they dared to bully and bully her sister and brother while Nangong Xue's master was away, and then relied on the identity of the Nangong family's children to calm things down. In fact, the leaders of the family generally don't take the fights between the children of the same clan too seriously.
"Let's go!" Nangong Hui shouted angrily, picked up the broken magic knife, turned around and glared at Xiao Tianhe viciously, gritted his teeth and said, "You show me a walk!"
For the threat of this kind of bad people, Xiao Tianhe is not the same thing.
With Nangong Hui and Nangong Qiu leaving with a bunch of men, this turmoil of clan rivalry temporarily subsided.
"Sister, it turns out that you have a communication stone with you, why didn't you inform Master earlier?
Nangong Xue glanced at him: "I lied to them." The Communication Stone is so precious, how could Master give it to me? What's more, I just went out of the city to find you, a disobedient fellow! When you go back, Master will definitely teach you a good lesson!"
Nangong Ting stuck out his tongue: "It's better to be taught by the master than to be bullied by those scumbags! This time, thanks to Brother Xiao, he gave us a bad breath." Brother Xiao, when you cut off Nangong Hui's magic knife just now, I was so happy in my heart!
Xiao Tianhe said: "I was also angry before I made a move. Just now, you deliberately said Nangong Hui's realm, and you also wanted me to help you, right? But why are they so rude? ”
"That's a long story. It is because the Nangong family is too powerful that the relationship between the various departments, departments and even branches is complicated, and I will tell you slowly when I go back. Without further ado, let's hurry up and fly back to the sword, so as not to cause another incident. Lao Zhao, you can drive by yourself. Nangong Xue commanded.
After the three of them took off into the air, they flew towards the hazy castle in the southeast direction, which was the southern foot city.
"Nangong girl, I don't know if you can recognize Ximenrui?" Xiao Tianhe asked.
Nangong Xue said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, you are so bold, from now on you will be my best friend with Brother Ting." You can call me by my name in the future. If you are in trouble outside, you can also report the names of my sister and brother, after all, most people will be taboo about the power of the Nangong family. I know Sister Ximenrui, but I haven't seen each other for a long time. Why, you know her too?"
"To tell you the truth, I inadvertently broke into the Xiping sea area of Ximen's house before, and was entangled in the silk net of the sky, and had to destroy it with the best magic knife, but I was caught by Ximenrui's sister, and in the end she secretly let me go. During my bondage, I heard her two sisters mention your name, so I asked. Xiao Tianhe recounted the incident succinctly.
Nangong Ting said: "Brother Xiao, you are really powerful, you actually broke into Xipinghai, the forbidden place of Ximen's family, and destroyed the precious silk net, no wonder Ximen Jue wants to arrest you back." But Ximen Jue probably didn't say anything good about my sister, right?"
It turned out that Ximen Rui's sister was called Ximen Jue.
Indeed, Ximen Jue seems to have a lot of criticism for Nangong Sister, but Ximen Rui said some good things for Nangong Girl. The temperaments of those two sisters are too different. ”
Nangong Xue was helpless: "Actually, Ximen Jue's heart is not bad, my disagreement with her stems from a misunderstanding in the early years, don't mention it." ”
"By the way, Sister Nangong, I've always had a question, why is the pattern of the Heavenly Flame Continent so regular? The surnames of the four major families are all compound surnames, and they also have the words 'East, South, West, and North' respectively, and they happen to match the place they occupy, isn't it too much of a coincidence?"
"It is said that our family did not have the surname 'Nangong' before. This compound surname was given by the first generation of demon lords, and so did the other three major families. Nangong Xue replied.
"First generation...... Then what generation is this demon lord now?" Xiao Tianhe asked again.
"It's the twelfth generation. Here we are, let's land. "Nangong Snow Road.
Xiao Tianhe still has many questions in his heart, but
For now, I have to give up for the time being. The three of them put away the magic knife and entered Nanlu City.
The prosperity of Nanlu City is no worse than that of Nanlang City, along the way, Nangong Ting excitedly introduced this and that to Xiao Tianhe, and Nangong Xue listened to it most of the time, occasionally adding a few words. It didn't take long for the three of them to come to Nangong Garden, located in the northwest of the city, which was the home of Nangong Xue's sisters and brothers.
Nangong Yuan was very large, Nangong Xue arranged Xiao Tianhe in a secluded courtyard, and then took Nangong Ting to meet their master in a hurry.
Xiao Tianhe walked around the small courtyard, there were not many rooms but they were enough to live, and although the furnishings in the room were not luxurious, they were not lacking. There is also a small open space in front of the house, and in the corner of the open space is a large tree, under which there are stone tables and stone benches, and beyond the open space is a grassy garden, and the courtyard can be reached through the winding path through the garden.
"'The winding path is a little deeper, and there is no hole in the sky. Xiao Tianhe moved his muscles and bones in the clearing, reciting poems casually in his mouth. The scenery here reminded him of his childhood life in Cloudset Villa, where there were also open spaces, green trees and grass, and stone benches and stone tables. Touching the scene, he was immersed in memories. He Yundui, Li Yuru, Li Yuanxiao, Yu Ruijiang, Hua Qianxue...... Familiar and somewhat distant faces came to mind one by one, and now these people were separated by yin and yang. Han Mingfei, Tang Junhe, Tianyao, Zhu Xiaomin...... I don't know what happened to these companions, who were like relatives. Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Liying, the two figures made Xiao Tianhe's heart ache, and his interest in practicing sword techniques collapsed, he had never felt so weak. Take a look around the quiet courtyard, enter the house, close the door, lie on the bed and close your eyes. He tried to get out of his sad state of mind, but found it in vain. In the haze, he seemed to feel that the Qinglong Continent was getting farther and farther away from him, so far away that he seemed to have forgotten everything on the continent, while the strange and complex Sky Flame Continent in front of him had been in a mist of clouds, and it was difficult for people to feel at ease...... With the thoughts of the old people and the doubts of the new world, Xiao Tianhe fell asleep deeply.
......
"Bang, bang, bang".
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Tianhe was awakened by a slight knock on the door. There was no sunlight outside, and it was dark inside.
The shadow of the person who knocked on the door was projected on the fan by the moonlight, and Xiao Tianhe knew who it was.
"Sister Nangong, how long have I been asleep?" he asked as he opened the door.
Outside the door is really Nangong Xue, but it is not the same as the Nangong Xue before.
Green silk hair, light fine yarn, less heroic, more graceful.
"Brother Xiao, there are countless people who can be called 'Nangong Sisters' in Nangong Mansion, there are more than a dozen Nangong Yuan here alone, I don't know which one you are calling?" Nangong Xue laughed and teased.
"I don't know how to call myself face to face, remember not to ask the person in front of you, hehe. Xiao Tianhe stretched his waist.
Nangong Xue tilted her head, looking at her somewhat puzzled eyes, as if she didn't understand what Xiao Tianhe said.
"Sister Xue, what are you carrying?" Xiao Tianhe noticed that she was holding two books in her arms.
"This is a simple information about the demon lords of the past generations. This book records the general genealogy of my Nangong family, you can take a look at it first. Nangong Xue seemed to like the title "Snow Sister" very much, and her smile was like a flower, "Brother Xiao, do you know, you have been sleeping for a day and a half." ”
"What? so long?"
"Well, maybe you've been working too hard lately, haven't you? I came to see you last night and during the day today, and I didn't dare to disturb you when I saw that you were resting behind closed doors. Tonight, I am here to bring you books, and secondly, I am to invite you to a banquet, and Daddy and Master are waiting for you. ”
"I'm a little upset to be so polite. ”
"Where, Daddy and Master listened to me tell me about how they got acquainted with you, and they admired you a lot, and they both wanted to meet you. You can't excuse yourself from this reception. Nangong Xue stretched out her finger and shook it.
"I was flattered by the gracious invitation of the elders, how dare I refuse? Let's go. Xiao Tianhe straightened his clothes and followed Nangong Xue through the clearing and into the garden.
"By the way, how is Brother Ting, how is he doing, has he been punished?" Xiao Tianhe asked.
"Hehe, this is inevitable. With Master's fiery temper, how can there be good fruit to eat if he is disobedient? But because of him, he got to know you, so Master punished him for thinking about it for a day. ”
"One day? Doesn't this mean that there is no punishment? Your master is really thundering and raining, and he still feels sorry for his apprentice. ”
Nangong Xue turned her head to look at Xiao Tianhe, pursed her lips and smiled: "You don't know, Brother Ting is the person who can't sit still." 'Facing the wall for a day' was already a very heavy punishment for him, and he had just been released from the ground, and he had been arguing there that he was 'suffocating to death'. Later, when he heard that he was going to invite you to a banquet, he stopped talking. ”
"Haha, I see. Xiao Tianhe was also happy.
Not long after leaving the garden, the two came to another small courtyard. The servants in the courtyard were serving wine and food to the room one after another, and the sound of talking was faintly heard in the brightly lit room.
Nangong Xue whispered: "My master's temper is a little weird, if there is anything that makes Brother Xiao feel awkward, I still want Haihan." ”
Xiao Tianhe nodded. The two pushed the door open.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, only a few calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, and it seems that the owner of Nangong Yuan lived a very simple life. Come to think of it, most people who cultivate the truth have no desire for ordinary things. There was a long table in the hall, and there were three people sitting in front of the table, the first one was a middle-aged man with a kind face, the one on the right was an old man with a white beard, and the one on the left was Nangong Ting.
Seeing Xiao Tianhe, Nangong Ting stood up excitedly and shouted, "Brother Xiao!"
"Brother Xiao, let me introduce you, this is Nangong Xu, the father of the family, and that is the teacher Zhang Dongzheng. Daddy, Master, this is Xiao Tianhe. "Nangong Snow Road.
"The junior Xiao Tianhe has seen Nangong
Seniors, Zhang seniors. Xiao Tianhe bowed.
"Heh, Xiao Gongzi, please take a seat. I'll ......" Before Nangong Xu's words were finished, Zhang Dongzheng suddenly waved his hand, and with a "poof", there was already an extra magic knife in his hand. The dazzling blue light is Xiao Tianhe's Heavenly Enemy Knife.
Xiao Tianhe's heart was shocked, just in the blink of an eye, Zhang Dongzheng had unknowingly taken the magic knife on his back, he was definitely a master!
Zhang Dongzheng carefully looked at the Heavenly Enemy Knife, nodding and smacking his lips frequently while watching.
Nangong Xu looked a little embarrassed, nodded to Xiao Tianhe and motioned for him to sit down first, and then said to Zhang Dongzheng: "Mr. Zhang, it's not appropriate for you to offend the guests like this." After speaking, he also waved his hand, and the Heavenly Enemy Knife in Zhang Dongzheng's hand had been snatched by him, handed over to Nangong Ting and returned to Xiao Tianhe's hands.
"This Nangong Xu's cultivation is not low...... Xiao Tianhe secretly admired in his heart and put away the magic knife.
"Xiao Gongzi, I have always liked to cast knives in my life, and seeing such a superb magic knife is like losing my soul, don't mind. Zhang Dongzheng said politely.
"It doesn't matter. In the future, you can borrow it from your predecessors to study it carefully. ”
"Haha, okay. This small matter is enough to show that Xiao Gongzi is open-minded and very much in line with my wishes. I, Zhang Dongzheng, will do it first as a respect!" he poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his head and drank it.
"It is up to the juniors to respect first. Xiao Tianhe hurriedly poured a cup and drank it all, thinking: "This Zhang Dongzheng is really messing around, the host of the banquet is Nangong Xu, he is just accompanying the guests, how can there be no reason not to look at the host himself to respect the guests first? Besides, he is an elder, I am a junior, and this etiquette is all out of order." Nangong Xue said that he had a strange temper, and it was true. ”
But looking at Nangong Xu, there was not the slightest displeasure on his face, and he seemed to be accustomed to Zhang Dongzheng's untimely behavior.
"Come on, let's move our chopsticks. Xiao Gongzi, the wine and food are a little light, I don't know if it suits your appetite?" Nangong Xu smiled.
"I love light flavors. Judging from the furnishings of Nangong Garden, Nangong's predecessor should be a person who is 'indifferent to fame and fortune, quiet and far-reaching'. ”
"Demon cultivators naturally don't care about the flashy things of fame and fortune. Xiao Gongzi, I heard Ting'er say that you are in the realm of the late stage of the void and the underworld, I don't know how long you have been cultivating?" Nangong Xu asked.
"I've been practicing with my mother since I was a child, and it's been 32 years. The qualifications are dull and not worth mentioning. Xiao Tianhe deliberately increased the number of years of cultivation by ten years and replied modestly.
Zhang Dongzheng pouted his beard: "Little brother, he has cultivated to the late stage of the Void Underworld in just thirty-two years, which is still 'dull qualifications'? Nangong Ting lowered his head and only cared about eating vegetables, pretending not to hear. Zhang Dongzheng snorted dissatisfiedly and continued: "It's good to be modest, but if you are too humble, it will turn into showing off. I don't dare to agree with Ling Tang's cultivation method for guiding you!"
"It's speechless...... How can this old man's face change if he says it? Or is it for the sake of these eight poles that can't be beaten together......" Xiao Tianhe secretly complained in his heart, and he had to explain: "What my predecessors taught me is that my mother taught me to be humble and cautious, which is a habit I have developed for many years, and I really don't mean to laugh at others." In addition, I have almost no contact with the outside world when I am cultivating, and I don't know whether this cultivation speed is fast or slow, so I ask my seniors not to be surprised. ”
"Hmm. Although I don't agree with Ling Tang's teaching style, I have to admit that Ling Tang is definitely a master of sword forging. I borrowed the knife just now to take a little look, although I don't know the details, but I can already know that the skills of its caster are amazing, which really makes the old man admire. Zhang Dongzheng exclaimed.
Nangong Xu asked in surprise: "Oh, is that really the case, how does it compare with Mr.?"
"Hehe," Zhang Dongzheng shook his head while laughing, "How can a mere firefly compete with Lang Yue! With Xiao Gongzi's mother's level of sword-casting, I'm afraid I can't find a few in the entire Heavenly Flame Continent! Compared to her, I am really embarrassed!"
"Ahh
Xiao Tianhe thought to himself: "Tu Lingchun, Deng Xianjue, Du Huairou, who are these people?" He didn't know that these people were actually famous sword casting masters in the Heavenly Flame Continent.
Nangong Xue and Nangong Ting listened to Zhang Dongzheng's praise, and they both stopped chopsticks and looked at Xiao Tianhe together in surprise.
"You didn't get it. I'm talking about the entire Heavenly Flame Continent that can't find a few, from, ancient, to, and modern!" Zhang Dongzheng finished speaking word by word, taking a mouthful of green vegetables and chewing them casually.
"Squeak, squeak......" Only Zhang Dongzheng's crisp chewing sound could be heard at the banquet.
Nangong Xue and Nangong Ting were stunned, the names of the three sword-casting masters of the other three families were like thunder, they couldn't imagine that Xiao Tianhe's mother's sword-casting level was so high!
Nangong Xu was so excited that his body trembled slightly. After a long time, he suppressed his excitement and said calmly: "Sir, you really don't hesitate to praise you!"
"Gollum", Zhang Dongzheng swallowed the food in his mouth, and said slowly: "Tu Lingchun is about the same level as Deng Xianjue, slightly inferior to Du Huairou. I have also seen the superb magic knife forged by Du Huairou that the Nangong family bought, and I have played with it carefully, and that's it. In my opinion, it is still much worse than Xiao Gongzi's mother. ”
"Wouldn't that be comparable to the ancient sword-forging craftsmen Ruan Yuandi, Jia Wanjun, and Ye Congyun?" Nangong Xu said three more names.
When he heard the words "Ye Congyun", Xiao Tianhe couldn't help but feel shocked.
