Although the white jade tiger does not look like a precious thing, although this thing has a history of thousands of years, in the eyes of those people under the mountain, it is a very good antique, but in the eyes of these cultivators, it is worthless.

But it can't stand it and there is a symbolism.

A white jade tiger represents the authority of Zheshan, although it is not important now, but the past and the future may be very important.

So he sighed, wiped this thing well, and then Gu Meng put it away, then raised his head and wiped his face.

However, when I touched my forehead, there was still a hot pain.

Ahsan's finger just now was really hard.

Gu Meng lowered his head, looked at his senior sister, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture to fight, but before he could make a move, he was hit on the forehead by a finger again.

Gu Meng was in pain, and with an oops, he finally gave up the idea.

Ah Sang withdrew his hand, stood with his hands in his hands, and asked calmly, "What did you say to Master?"

She can't care about other things, but she actually cares about this matter, after all, in her opinion, this matter is one of the biggest things in the world.

Gu Meng rubbed his forehead, endured the hot pain, and grinned: "He just doesn't do it, let's not bother him in the future." ”

"Master wants to go, you didn't let me?" Ahsan frowned, looking a little dissatisfied.

Gu Meng said as a matter of course: "Master's such a thick thigh is lost like this, isn't it a pity?"

Ahsan lowered his head and asked, "My legs are not thick?"

Of course, this is not a literal meaning, if you really want to talk about it, Ah San's legs are not only not thick, but also very thin, she has a good figure, speaking of which, as long as the cultivators in this world are willing to maintain their figure, probably no one will be fat.

"Senior sister's legs are very thick, but they are not thick enough, the main thing is less, besides, if there is really something in the future, when the senior sister can't solve it, then the master is very needed. Gu Meng looked serious about it, but in fact, he still looked at Ah San's leg several times.

Ahsan didn't speak.

She has a problem with Chang Yi Zhenren in her heart, she doesn't know what Chang Yi Zhenren said or did, anyway, she feels that things are not so simple.

Gu Meng turned his head and didn't speak.

"Okay, senior sister, I still have things, there are so many things on the mountain, besides, ......"

Ah Sang interjected: "Besides, you are still in charge of the mountain now. ”

Gu Meng smiled.

Ah Sang suddenly asked, "I'm afraid that you are not so happy to be the emperor of Southern Chu, why?"

"How can this be compared?"

Gu Meng shook his head, but did not give an answer.

......

......

Gu Meng has a lot to do, a lot, and it has nothing to do with whether he is in charge of the mountain or not.

Yes, even if he is not the head of the mountain, he will do all the things on the mountain, because apart from him, Chang Yi Zhenren does not want to do it, and Ah Sang and Luo Xue are even more unreliable.

Although there is a Su Su who is quite reliable now, but this young man, it is okay to let him teach the sword, if he is asked to do something else, it is not ideal.

However, what we have to do today is simple, that is, to make a book, record all the names of the disciples on the mountain, and then according to their own characteristics, Gu Meng is going to arrange something for them to do.

What should a sword cultivator do?

Sword training, of course.

But that's what the sword cultivators of the Sword Court do, and not all sword cultivators are like this, if the sword cultivators only practice swords, then who will forge the sword?

Who will mine the iron ore for sword casting?

Where did those elixirs that stabilized the disciple's realm come from?

This is also a sword sect, if it is another cultivation sect, there are many more things to do.

A sword sect has never been a group of sword cultivators practicing swords in the mountain gate.

A sect actually contains a lot of things, and there are strong people who can maintain a sect from being defeated by outsiders, but all the expenses of the disciples still need to be obtained through other channels.

Some sects are direct, and directly send people to other sects to rob them, but the risk is very high, once the news leaks, it is easy to have an accident, such as Yao Cuo Sword Immortal, who likes to kill this kind of person the most.

Zheshan definitely can't do this kind of thing now, but he has to find a way.

The industry of Zheshan, thousands of years ago, was so big that it was boundless, but now, it is a blank, and we have to start from scratch.

Of course, to do something, find some professional talents is fundamental.

So looking at the roster, Gu Meng thought for a moment, and then went to find Song Ning.

Song Ning's traces now are only two places, either here to read the sword scripture or there to see the sword technique.

When he found Song Ning, this little guy was still looking at a sword recipe with a serious face.

Gu Meng sat straight in front of him and explained his intentions.

After listening to this, Song Ning scratched his head and said, "Little uncle, you said you want a bookkeeper?" But the junior brothers and sisters are all going up the mountain to practice swords, who wants to do these things?"

Gu Meng patted Song Ning's head and said with a deep meaning: "What you say is the same as saying that officials are thinking about justice for the people, and there are so many reasons for being an official, how can you generalize?"

"By the way, in addition to Mr. Bookkeeper, I also need a blacksmith, forget it, when it comes to blacksmiths, I have a candidate. ”

"Then ask if there is anyone who is in business at home, and find them for me, and I'll go down the mountain first. ”

Gu Meng thought of the blacksmith, and there was a candidate.

And it's a very satisfying candidate.

Song Ning sighed, although he didn't understand it, but he didn't stop it, and he didn't say much.

Gu Meng wanted to go down the mountain, but before going down the mountain, he went to see Luo Xue first.

Seeing his senior sister, Gu Meng didn't talk nonsense, and pulled up the other party to leave.

Luo Xue was surprised: "Little junior brother, what are you doing?"

"I'll take you to meet Senior Sister's good friend. Gu Ming's voice was very low, and he was afraid of being heard, after all, if this matter was heard, it was possible to be heard by the senior sister, and if it was heard by the senior sister, the things behind it would be very complicated.

Luo Xue suddenly became nervous, and whispered, "Where did the senior sister come from?

took out the candle swim and turned into a flying sword hanging in the air, Gu Luo pulled Luo Xue and landed on the sword, and whispered: "You will know when you see it." ”

Flying sword into the clouds, today's Gu Meng is not the original Gu Ming, walking with the sword, it is not a big deal, Luo Xue's realm these days is not slow, and now he is also a cultivator of the fourth realm.

The senior sister has more realms than the junior brother, and speaking of it, it is not an unacceptable thing.

Liuyun slid quickly on both sides of the flying sword, and Luo Xue couldn't help but think of the time when she brought her little junior brother to Zheshan, and many years had passed.

Looking at Gu Ming's back, Luo Xue sighed in her heart, the little junior brother has also grown a lot taller, but he is still so good-looking.

Gu Meng didn't know what he was thinking, he just walked with his sword, and it didn't take long for him to fall from the clouds and come to a town.

This town is not far from the mountain in the first place.

So it was not long in coming.

Walking around town, Luo Xue was asking about good things.

Gu Meng shook his head and said, "Go back and ask Senior Sister if it's okay?"

Luo Xue stuck out her tongue, "Little junior brother, you are asking for my life." ”

Gu Meng smiled and didn't say much, it's like this on the mountain, Ah Sang is always the one who speaks the most.

Of course, he is also the person Luo Xue is most afraid of.

Entering this town, there must be some ordinary people, Gu Meng didn't care, and walked straight towards an alley, but the more he walked, the more strange it became, why didn't he hear the sound of iron.

When we reached the end of the alley, the blacksmith shop was still there, but it was just a sign in front of the door, and it was obvious that it had not been cleaned for a long time.

There were a few pieces of yellow paper on the ground, which were already mutilated and decent.

It looks like there had been a rain before, and then a few days of sun exposure.

Gu Meng stood in front of the door, looked at the door, and then walked in like this.

Entering the small courtyard with a cave, I heard a few baby crying, and then watched a man holding a child, walking back and forth in the courtyard.

Coaxing children is extremely skilled in what he does, just like he did many years ago, when he made iron and forged swords.

That's right, this man is Wang Xiaopeng.

It's just that the current Wang Xiaopoor is different from the original Wang Xiaopoor.

When others reached middle age, they gave birth to a belly, and they were no longer the skinny man they were at the beginning.

Suddenly, he looked up at Gu Ming.

With just one glance, he recognized Gu Ming.

So Wang Xiaoqian looked at Luo Xue again.

Gu Meng said: "This is the little senior sister Luo Xue, the senior sister of the senior sister, or my senior sister." ”

Wang Xiaopoor smiled bitterly: "It's good that you didn't come with your senior sister." ”

Gu Meng knew what this meant, so he didn't say it thoroughly, but just said, "Let's talk." ”

Wang Xiaopeng looked at the baby in his arms and shook his head.

Gu Meng said: "It's okay. ”

......

......

The two of them sat down under the corridor, Wang Xiaoqian looked at Luo Xue, who was sweating profusely with the child in her arms, and said a little strangely: "Why don't the three of you have anything in common." ”

Gu Meng retorted, "We all have a master. ”

Wang Xiaoqian didn't speak, but obviously said that the joke was not funny.

Gu Meng asked, "How can this be?"

Wang Xiaopoor glanced at the child and said with emotion: "When I was young, I dreamed of being a hero, probably because I was carefree, and when you really got to the point where you have to worry about what to eat tomorrow, the dream of being a hero will be gone." ”

Gu Meng said: "Some people won't change, but it's not you. ”

This is not a mockery, but reality.

Wang Xiaoqian was not angry, "I like your senior sister, it's the same as a dream when I was a child, anyway, after a while, it changed, and then I found a woman to marry and had my own daughter, but the woman's life was not good, and she died in childbirth." ”

He is saying these words very plainly, telling the story of the past ten years.

He can't like a woman who doesn't like him for the rest of his life, so it's normal for him to change his mind, and no one can blame him.

Gu Meng shook his head and said, "You haven't changed for so many years before, and you have changed in the next few years, just make it clear in one sentence?"

Wang Xiaoshan asked, "What else do you think is special?"

"There should always be a relatively big, magnificent story. ”

Wang Xiaopoor said bitterly: "Where are there so many magnificent stories in this world. ”

That said, but he still talked about what had happened in the past ten years.

Since the sword was taken away by Liang Shiyi, he didn't plan to cast a sword much, he struck iron and farm tools on weekdays, although he didn't earn much money, but he could be regarded as having fun, but he never thought that he would inexplicably have something to do with a Qinglou woman in the town.

The woman was a prostitute in the town, she was sold to the Qinglou by her father a few years ago, and she was young at first, so she didn't pick up customers, and the bustard only wanted to wait for her to grow up before talking about this kind of thing, but she didn't expect that a few years later, the woman would grow up and run away one night.

"She's been thinking about running for a long time, and she's been preparing for it. ”

Wang Xiaopeng said: "I should have known that a woman like this can't be honest. ”

When the woman had run away, I don't know if it was dark or something else, or if she knew very well that she was not safe in the town, but she had run to the blacksmith's shop anyway.

Wang Xiaopoor didn't want to cause trouble, originally didn't want to keep her here, but couldn't help her pitiful appearance, and finally left her behind, in the blacksmith shop, she honestly washed and cooked for him, and looked really like a good wife and mother.

"One night, she suddenly said to me that she liked me. ”

That night, the weather was a little hot, and Wang Xiaoshan was chilling in the yard.

The woman took his hand and said seriously: "I really like you, do you like me too?"

Wang Xiaoqian slowly pushed her hand away, frowned, and said, "I don't like you, I already have someone I like." ”

The woman asked, "Who is it, I want to go and see her." ”

"It's a fairy in the sky, how can you see it?"

Wang Xiaopeng smiled, this was really what he was saying.

The woman thought he was talking gibberish, and poured him a bowl of wine.

"I didn't pay attention at the time, I picked it up and drank it all. ”

Gu Meng said: "I guess there is sweat medicine in that wine." ”

Wang Xiaopeng looked at Gu Meng and said, "You underestimate her, it's an aphrodisiac." ”

Gu Meng wanted to laugh a little, but he still held back.

So of course he didn't have to listen to the rest of the story, Wang Xiaopoor had a woman, and the woman had a child soon after, and then died of dystocia when she gave birth.

Maybe this is retribution?

Who let that woman do such a thing for Wang Xiaoshan.

Gu Meng said sincerely: "Seriously, I have never met a woman like that in my life. ”

Wang Xiaoqiang said: "I don't like her either, but with my own flesh and blood, what else can I do?"

"I admit it. ”

Gu Meng didn't know what to say, so he turned his head to look at Luo Xue in silence.

At this time, Luo Xue put the baby girl to sleep and breathed a sigh of relief.

"How's my sword doing?"

"You must not have imagined that the person who took it away is very powerful, a few days ago he defeated the female sword fairy who lived on the sea, and now he is the lord of the West Sea, well, to put it bluntly, all the people who use swords in the world can't beat him. ”

Wang Xiaoqian nodded and said, "It's not bad, that sword can be regarded as finding a good master." ”

"What are you here for?"

Wang Xiaoqian said: "Later, I thought about it, and I really felt very sad, she didn't come to see me again after she went up the mountain, and when she came, she asked me for something." ”

Gu Meng patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Originally, I wanted to ask you to go up the mountain to continue forging swords, and you can also continue to see my senior sister, but now, are you still willing to see her?"

"Yes, yes, yes, but I think I'm a little sorry for the child's mother, forget it. Wang Xiaoshan patted his stomach, shook his head and said, "It's all in the past, don't talk about it." ”

Gu Meng said: "Don't force it. ”

Then he was about to stand up, and Wang Xiaopeng suddenly said: "I don't go up the mountain, but I have an apprentice, and I am very willing." ”

Gu Meng turned his head to look at Wang Xiaopeng.

"He is better than my talent, and he should be a good blacksmith in the future, but if you want to become a great swordsmith, you will need countless attempts, there are few opportunities under the mountain, and there should be many opportunities on your mountain. ”

Gu Meng said: "This should seem like a good thing. ”

"Where is he?"

......

......

The town is not big, there are only two blacksmith shops, except for this one, which is the other, and the blacksmith of that family happens to be Wang Xiaopeng's apprentice.

His name is Biaozi.

He was a sturdy boy.

Somewhat dark, but not too dark.

When Gu Meng explained his intentions, he threw the hammer in his hand, shook his head and said, "Don't go." ”

Gu Meng asked, "Why?"

Biaozi didn't speak.

Luo Xue said: "Is it bad in the mountains?"

Biaozi still didn't speak.

Gu Meng asked, "Do you feel that you are gone, and there is no one to take care of your master?"

Biao Zi said angrily: "Master has not struck iron for a long time, and if I leave, he will starve to death." ”

It's not that he doesn't want to go up the mountain to forge a sword, but he is worried that after he leaves, Wang Xiaopeng's life will be unsustainable.

Gu Meng said: "I'm not worried about what you're worried about, because I have everything you don't have." ”

Money is the least thing to worry about for cultivators.

Leaving a large sum of money for Wang Xiaopeng, watching Biaozi carefully holding the baby girl who couldn't speak in the yard, Gu Meng and Luo Xue stood side by side.

Wang Xiaopeng said: "This kid is very good, don't give him to me." ”

Gu Meng smiled: "He can practice swords on the mountain, he can live for a long time, and he can also cast a sword for a long time, maybe he will have a reputation in the future, just like you, many people will come to grab it, and I will be busy at that time." ”

Wang Xiaopeng said: "In the future, if my daughter also wants to practice swords, can she go up the mountain?"

"Can you call the shots?"

Gu Meng took out the white jade tiger from his arms and shook it in front of Wang Xiaopeng's eyes.

The latter raised his eyebrows, not knowing why.

Luo Xue is an afterthought.

Gu Meng said seriously: "Zheshan is already up to me. ”

Wang Xiaopeng nodded and said, "That's good." ”

When saying goodbye formally, Biao Zi seriously kowtowed to Wang Xiaopeng, and then said seriously: "In the future, I will go down the mountain once a month to see Master." ”

Wang Xiaopeng said in disgust: "Do you want to see me, or do you want to see my daughter?"

Biao Zi smiled innocently and didn't say much.

The last group of three people stepped out of the blacksmith shop and walked back to the mountain.

It's not difficult for Edgeworth to take Biaozi with him, it's just that this guy says he's afraid of heights.

Gu Meng didn't believe it at first, and after taking him into the air for a few feet, seeing the overnight meal he spit out, Gu Meng dispelled this idea.

So I honestly chose to walk.

Luo Xue has no opinion, and Biaozi, who is already half-dead, will not object.

Walking out of the town and entering the mountains and forests, Luo Xue asked, "When did the little junior brother become the head of the mountain?"

Gu Meng said casually: "When I first went up the mountain, didn't the master say that he wanted to hand over the position of the head of the mountain to me?

Luo Xue said suspiciously: "I saw that the master's thatched huts had all arrived in the back mountain, could it be that the little junior brother assassinated the master for the position of the head of the mountain?"

Gu Meng had a black line on his head, and said with some tears and laughter: "Senior sister thinks, Master is such a sword immortal, I can kill him if I say kill?"

Thinking of what happened in the West Sea before, Luo Xue shook her head a little embarrassed.

Where is Chang Yi Zhenren so easy to kill.

Gu Meng was a little speechless for herself, a little senior sister.

So he turned his head to Biaozi.

This young man under the mountain is very simple, in the past years, he has only been striking iron, has been striking iron, and has not done anything except this.

Gu Meng suddenly asked, "Biaozi, will you look for iron ore?"

Of course, iron ore is needed to fight iron, especially the saber that is required to fight sword cultivation, the requirements will be higher, but since Wang Xiaoqian can cast a sword that Liang Shizhi can look at, even if this biaozi is not good enough, as long as he learns other aspects, he should be fine.

Biao Zi nodded and said, "Master has taught." ”

Gu Meng said with great satisfaction: "Then after going up the mountain, first find the iron mine, and then find a few apprentices, and then you can set up the Sword Casting Hall." ”

Gu Meng patted Biao Zi on the shoulder, and said with expectations: "You are the first generation of Sword Casting Hall Master in Zheshan today!"

Biaozi sighed, not understanding what it meant.

He didn't know what was on the mountain, but he heard from his master that he could forge a sword every day for as long as he wanted.

As for the iron ore or something before, he wasn't worried, the master said, there are a lot of treasures on the mountain, and he doesn't worry about this kind of thing.

After a few more gossips with Biaozi, Gu Meng thought about a lot of things and solved the matter of forging the sword, and then he had to think about other things.

There are not many chores on the mountain, just pull up the big things first.

Now there are not only four people in Zheshan, but more than a hundred people, but everything is blank, so it is necessary for him, the person who is in charge, to pull it up one by one, if you really think about it, you can actually understand why Chang Yi Zhenren wants to take the burden when he mentions this kind of thing, which is really troublesome.

But for Gu Ming, it's okay.

When he was young, he learned, but how to govern the country, that is how the whole country should be governed, and running the country is actually more troublesome than running the sect.

Those things in the sect are far from being compared to coordinating a country, and it may be said that there is really a difference, that is, those cultivators are too powerful.

Other than that, everything else is pretty much the same.

So when Gu Meng dealt with it, it was not just a mess.

After all, there is a clue.

Besides, this first step is so smooth.

He's always a little happy.

It's a sense of accomplishment that creeps in my heart.
