Prepare for the retreat
After Master Tang played with the gourd for a while, he said, "This pot of wine, it's not the right time to open it now, so Bai Xiaosheng, you can go back and busy with your affairs first." ”
Master Tang issued an eviction order, because he had something to say to Guan Yi, and it was best not to let Bai Du Liang hear it. After all, what kind of work does Baidu Liang do? To put it simply, it is a storyteller + intelligence dealer, although he knows a lot, his character is also acceptable. But most of the information he knows can be sold, and you can trust the information from his mouth, but you must not trust him to keep your secret tight.
Bai Du Liang obviously knew this, although he was a little regretful, but he still listened to Master Tang's words, and reluctantly left a sentence: "Remember to call me when you open it, I also treasure a few bottles of good wine, don't forget my ......" before leaving.
What Master Tang talked to Shangguan Yi about was actually some things about sword casting, and just letting Shangguan Yi raise the top was one of the tests, but the test results really surprised him, but the heroic soul behind him attracted his attention even more, so the test results were temporarily shelved.
At this time, after he had determined that the Heroic Soul could indeed drink it, and told Shangguan Yi that the pot of wine should be placed here first, he finally remembered the latter thing: continue to interrogate Shangguan Yi about how strong he was.
"Qingtian, it doesn't seem to take much effort for you to lift the tripod just now, you can lift it no matter how heavy it is, right?" Master Tang euphemistically expressed his surprise, after all, although he could also lift it, he couldn't transport the tripod from Fenglie to the center of the street in one breath with just his strength like Shangguan Yi, and he couldn't see the difficulty in all directions, of course, if he added internal force, it was still possible.
Ordinary people may see Shangguan Yi sweating after lifting, and think that this is almost the limit of Shangguan Yi, but Master Tang, who was reminded by a mad blacksmith, knew that this might be just part of Shangguan Yi's strength. As a heaven-sent warrior, if this person's ability is physically strong, it is definitely more than that. First, this person is in a situation where the injury is not healed, and he may not be able to exert his full strength, and secondly, this person is still growing, and his strength will definitely increase in the future.
As far as Master Tang knows, it is recorded in history that the tallest person who is born with divine power like Guan Yi can lift two hundred and sixty kilograms of the tripod, and their mouth of the tripod is only one hundred and sixty kilograms, which is far from it. Although comparing this kid to that adult, he may be a little exalted, but no matter what, this kid is also a genius who has passed the sage assessment, even if he is not as good, he should be close, right?
"Ah, no matter how heavy it is, I can't lift it in my current situation, in fact, that tripod just now is already the limit now. It's okay if you get back to peak in a few days, but it's not too hard to lift that. Shangguan Yi groaned, but the answer he gave was somewhat unexpected by Master Tang.
"But you just looked relaxed, not like you were struggling. Mo Qianliu was the first to question, she didn't believe that Shangguan Yi was so stable that she was doing her best, if she really couldn't move, she would show some characteristics no matter how she said it, and then Master Tang and Feng Lie would help him move, but Shangguan Yi didn't.
"That's because I have a solid foundation, and with a little bit of power skills, I can do that, Qianliu, aren't you envious?" Shangguan Yi responded with a smile, even Mo Qianliu was stunned by his performance, and his performance was really enough to bluff people.
"So how much strength did you exert just now?" Although Master Tang didn't expect that Shangguan Yi was already doing his best just now, he was not too surprised.
"Seventy percent. "Shangguan Yi didn't hide Master Tang, after all, he was forging a sword for himself. Although the volume of the long sword is about the same, due to the density of the metal, the mass of the sword can be very different, and the difference between the heaviest and the lightest is dozens of times.
"Seventy percent, that tripod just now is one hundred and sixty kilograms, that is to say, the limit of your peak state can almost reach two hundred and thirty kilograms, and this sword is troublesome to cast. Master Tang mentally measured Shangguan Yi's maximum strength, quite annoyed, and he hadn't said everything in his brain yet, if this kid was really still growing his body and there was still a lot of room for growth, he might be able to surpass the highest record he had heard.
"Hey, hey, this ...... Trouble Uncle Tang. Shangguan Yi smiled embarrassedly, it's such a time, do you still say to Master Tang: If you find it troublesome, I will go to find someone else?
If he really said that, and didn't say anything about Master Tang's reaction, Mo Qianliu next to him would give him a fist of love, and he wouldn't be able to say anything stupid.
"Well, it's fine. From tomorrow onwards, you can send the materials you have prepared, find someone at home to watch, live directly with me, I will guide you in refining the materials, and tell the friend who asked you to send me a message, and I agreed to his proposal. Master Tang thought for a moment and gave Shangguan Yi some instructions.
"Shall I refining?'s friend's proposal?" Shangguan Yi was a little surprised, the refining operation can have many details, it is generally carried out by a blacksmith, in fact, it can only be carried out by an experienced blacksmith, after all, the success of the casting, in fact, depends to a large extent on this step, if it is handed over to Shangguan Yi to deal with, it may be a little hasty.
"That's right, it's up to you to do it, and I'll work with him to assist you, after all, our refining effect may not be as good as yours. Master Tang nodded, but what he said surprised the careful Shangguan Yi and Mo Qianliu.
"Uncle Tang, you and him, and yours?" Mo Qianliu pointed out these two places with some surprise.
"Yes, he offered to join me on this swordsmithing project, and I agreed. Master Tang admitted this point very calmly, and his admission made the two look at each other.
"Why?" Mo Qianliu asked, a little puzzled.
"If he wants to help, let him help, every blacksmith has a dream, I am like this, and so is he. He finally has a person he likes, and I don't need to brush off his kindness. Moreover, his casting technique actually has great merits, which will be of great help to the sword casting this time. "Master Tang seems to be a familiar friend of the mad blacksmith, and the reasons he gives are quite convincing.
"Oh, okay, then hard Master Tang. Shangguan Yi touched his head, he didn't expect that he could get two blacksmiths with very good skills to help him forge a sword together, Master Tang is a master blacksmith, since the crazy blacksmith can get his approval, it shouldn't be much worse, right?
"It's okay, refining things still need some trivial items, I'll write a list for you to prepare, and then we'll retreat for a few days until the sword casting is successful, okay?" When Master Tang said this, he didn't know if it was Shangguan Yi's illusion, he felt that Master Tang's words had a deep meaning, but he couldn't find a hint when he understood it carefully, after all, he just simply asked Shangguan Yi to prepare materials, and then follow Master Tang to retreat to forge the sword, and nothing else.
Shangguan Yi felt strange in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and just replied obediently: "No problem." ”
Then, Master Tang gave Shangguan Yi a few more words of advice, and let the two of them leave, he actually had to prepare a lot of things here, all kinds of tools, food and water, as well as the room where Shangguan Yi was going to live, and so on. After all, it's the girl's...... Friend, if she is harsh, she is afraid that she will not follow, right?
After Shangguan Yi and Mo Qianliu left the Knowledge Seeking Street, the former breathed a sigh of relief and said with confidence: "It's done, it's done, I didn't expect it to be so smooth, hahaha." ”
Mo Qianliu rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that when the casting fails, all your hard work will be wasted?"
"I'm afraid, I don't know how to write the word "afraid." Although I have such worries, but I am afraid, it is impossible to drop, you can succeed, I have no reason to fail, not to mention my participation. Shangguan Yi said proudly and shyly, not taking Mo Qianliu's ridicule seriously at all.
"You're quite confident, just watch what kind of sword you can forge, don't cry when the time comes." Mo Qianliu squinted at Shangguan Yi, still unable to get used to this guy's smug look.
"No, even if it really doesn't work, I can use the original sword, although it's not powerful enough, but it's enough for me. Shangguan Yi shook his head, saying that he would not cry even if he failed.
"Oh, in that case, if you want to forge a sword, do you want to target us?" Mo Qianliu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, what kind of weapon is needed to deal with what kind of person, and the sharpest and best sword is naturally to deal with the most difficult person.
"The sword has two blades, one against the enemy, the other guards, I think it is enough now because I haven't met a strong enough opponent, maybe it won't be enough in the future, as for you, I don't think there should be a day when you will be an enemy, right?" Shangguan Yi was silent and did not give Mo Qianliu a positive answer.
"Not necessarily, maybe we will stand in the ring of the martial arts conference in the future to compete for the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. Mo Qianliu winked mischievously and said to Shangguan Yi.
"But I don't think I'm going to be involved in that kind of thing, the leader of the martial arts alliance or something, it's so troublesome. Shangguan Yi also blinked, imagined that kind of scene, and shook his head with some displeasure.
"You, although I don't think you will participate, but you may go, after all, the world is impermanent, remember not to keep your hands when the time comes, I am looking forward to fighting you. Mo Qianliu's eyes were beating with battle intent slightly, Shangguan Yi, who had grown up at that time, should be a master with sufficient qualifications, right?
"You, it's really ......" Shangguan Yi naturally knew what this person meant, he was speechless, he was obviously a beautiful girl, why was he so belligerent?
"Promise me. Mo Qianliu turned her head to stare at him and urged.
"No, I don't. Shangguan Yi shook his head, the world is indeed impermanent, so the promise can't be given casually, otherwise he and Mo Qianliu will lose both at that time, and it will be bad for people to pick up the cheap.
"Stingy!" Mo Qianliu said disdainfully.
"Well, it's just stingy. Shangguan Yi nodded and generously acknowledged.
After that, while chatting, the two walked to the place where they parted ways, Mo Qianliu returned to Mo's house, Shangguan Yi was standing in place thinking about who should be found to guard his home, thinking about it, and finally he could only go to the Fu family's courtyard to find Jinli, and asked him to send a credible person to help him look at his home.
In this regard, Jin Li complained with disdain: "Why have you been alone for so long, you don't even have a person under your hand who can be used, do you want to mix with me, I'll let you be the big steward." ”
Shangguan Yi was speechless and said with a broken brain, and said with some annoyance: "What do you mean that I haven't even had a useful person after being mixed up for so long? I'm just leaving no power, so I'm not alone, okay? How can I talk? I'm still messing with you, being the chief steward, do I need it?"
"Woo, don't want it, why hit me, I fed all my kindness to the dog, hum, the dog bit Lu Dongbin!" Jin Li rubbed his forehead angrily, quite aggrieved.
"Well, anyway, just remember to help me take care of the house when the time comes, I may not go back for a few days, if you have something urgent to look for, I will go to Master Tang on the knowledge street to find it, forget it if you don't. Shangguan Yi hurriedly changed the topic, and just subconsciously knocked it over, but he didn't think about it, and he didn't feel right after knocking.
"Got it, leave me a copy of the key, and you can go with peace of mind. Jinli nodded, but still agreed.
In this way, Shangguan Yi did the first thing, and then went to the crazy blacksmith and told him what Master Tang meant by the way, he expressed his gratitude to him, after all, he could have left it alone after selling the ore, but he didn't. There may be some factors of his own in it, but there are some things that he does not do is his duty, and what he does is love, and he should be thanked.
In the smile on the face of the mad blacksmith, except for joy, it was not surprising, and it seemed that he had expected this result for a long time.
Shangguan Yi hesitated, but still asked, "Are you friends with Master Tang?"
The mad blacksmith was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's okay to say it's a friend, but it's a former brother to be precise." ”
"Former senior brother?" Shangguan Yi exclaimed, quite surprised.
"It's not very convenient to say that the master inherited, there were many casting schools in the beginning, Senior Brother Donald was orthodox, I chose Bias, and I was too stubborn, and then I made some mistakes, so although I also became a casting master, I was kicked out of the master by the master and was no longer his apprentice. However, Senior Brother Tang also admitted that I was just his junior brother, and I was actually a former senior brother, and the relationship was okay, so that's it. The mad blacksmith talked about the past very indifferently, without any joy or sorrow, as if he were telling someone else's story.
Shangguan Yi looked at him, and knew in his heart that the mad blacksmith had experienced too much sophistication, and he was a man who really saw through the red dust, which was already rare, and what was even more rare was that after he saw through everything, he was still able to love his life and pursue his dreams, without being world-weary, without escapism.
