Ding Tie is the blacksmith and stalker at the head of the hidden village. Liu Yu, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was very familiar with this person, he once submitted this person with one move, and won the trust of this person, and then let him bring Sun Yu into the hall of the dragon group.

But at this moment, he subconsciously felt that this person was extremely unfamiliar. The face is still the same face, the body shape is still the same body, but the expression and complexion have changed greatly.

This man could torture him to the point of agony with the mere stroke of a hammer. Such a profound martial art, if it was revealed in the first fight with him, he probably would not have won at all.

Ding Tie nodded at him, "Lord Liu, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay?"

Since the sound of the iron stopped, the sharp pain in Liu Yu's abdomen gradually disappeared. He was even more sure that everything just now was caused by this Ding Tie.

He was wary of this person, and asked lightly: "Ding Tie, why don't you stay in Chang'an, and come to this Yongzhou city in the middle of the night to strike iron, what is the purpose?"

Ding Tie took out the dry tobacco pouch from his mouth, put it on the shelf on the side, and laughed, "Of course, people who do business must find a good place to sell things. The city of Yongzhou has been fighting for days, the soldiers have long been short of weapons, and every household needs a sword to defend themselves, of course I have to hurry over to do business. However, there are too many people who come to me to order weapons during the day, so I can only do it in the dark and at night, otherwise I won't be able to pay the errand!"

Liu Yu's eyes fell on the dry tobacco pouch quietly placed on the shelf, and the fine smoke curled in the tobacco pouch, revealing a faint fishy smell.

Of course, he didn't believe this person's nonsense, and smiled slightly, "Even so, I'm afraid there are few people like you, who put everything on the street and block the middle of the road squarely, are you doing this to stop everyone who passes by and let them order a sword from you?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Ding Tie's mouth, he picked up the dry tobacco pouch from the shelf, took another puff, and slowly spit out the smoke ring from his mouth, "Lord Liu, you don't understand this. At night, there was no one on the street. I put the shelves in the middle of the road like this, the place is wide, and my heart is bright, and I am happy to play the iron!"

"Don't gossip, I'm afraid you're not here to strike iron, but to deal with me!" Liu Yu decided not to go around in circles with this person anymore, he secretly stored his true qi in his palm, and was ready to make a move with this person at any time.

Ding Tie caught a glimpse of his inconspicuous movements, and did not deliberately be vigilant, but sighed leisurely, "You can actually get out of the tomb alive after being swallowed by the Great Snake of Ten Thousand Spirits, and after that, you can command a big battle unharmed, it is simply a strange person." I wonder how the hell do you do that?"

"Don't ask me, shouldn't you be the one who knows the answer?" asked Liu rhetorically.

More and more, he felt that all his actions in the past three years had fallen into the trap of others. And this trip to Yongzhou is a trap in a trap. King Kui is calculating him, and so is this Ding Tie.

A few days ago at the gate of the Hidden Village, if Ding Tie hadn't deliberately been defeated under his men and showed his loyalty, then he would not have been able to enter the hall that Sun Yu brought into the Dragon Group. If Sun Yu is not interrogated, then he will not have the heart to go to Yongzhou in person.

"No, no, I don't know. Ding Tie waved his hand again and again, and shirked the suspicion on his body, "I only know that King Kui has been using you, and he wants to put a long line to catch a big fish, so I will help him put this line a little longer." ”

"So you're his accomplice!?" Liu Yu felt a wave of anger in his heart, and if he was very sure, he would not hesitate to attack this person.

"Hehe, I'm not, you're his accomplice. Don't forget, your current identity is the Ouchi Hidden Guard. And I'm just an ironworker, and I happen to be striking iron at the gate of the hidden village. "Ding Tie speaks mercilessly, he likes to tease people, and he likes it at any time.

"Heh, if you are not King Kui's person, how can he allow you to stay at the entrance of the village to strike iron?" Liu Yu questioned his words, and the faint fishy smell from the other party's dry tobacco pouch increased his vigilance.

"You don't understand this, as long as you have enough secrets that the other party wants to know, he will naturally let you go until you expose the secret. After Ding Tie finished speaking, he laughed heartily for a while, stared at Liu Yu's eyes and said, "To be honest, the person I came to Yongzhou to find is not you, and anyone who comes out of the tomb with qì, such a person must die!"

"qì?what do you tell me?" Liu Yu's heart flashed with a hint of malice, and he faintly felt that this Ding Tie in front of him knew all the secrets in the tomb.

"Well, that's weird? Let me tell you, so that you can die clearly. ”

Ding Tie picked up a sword embryo from the shelf and began to write on the ground in the moonlight.

Liu Yu leaned over and read the handwriting on the ground clearly, "This is qì?"

Under the moonlight of the bright snow, a big word "Qi" came into his eyes. The handwriting marks in the dirt are unremarkable, but they seem to be full of fascinating magic.

"Yes, 'Qi'!" Ding Tie sighed heavily and looked up at the bright moon, "Qi is born from the creation of heaven and earth, and it is preserved by the essence of the sun and the moon. As long as a martial artist can get a glimpse of the realm of 'Qi', then the martial arts will step into the realm of transformation, which is enough to be proud of the rivers and lakes and be famous for centuries. However, this Qi is not easy to come by, and it is even more difficult to control. Every moment of Qi's existence, it needs to absorb the endless essence from this world, and if it can't be obtained, it will start from the host. Those who are not blessed will only be slowly sucked out of their whole body by it, and finally die of exhaustion. ”

"Do you mean that the mysterious power that killed Yuan Lan back then was this 'Qi'?" Liu Yu was suspicious after hearing this, and his faint pain in his lower abdomen told him that he should have suffered the same fate.

"Well, for those who don't know about it, Qi is indeed mysterious enough. Now that you understand this, it's time to turn a blind eye even to death. Ding Tie picked up the sword embryo, squinted one eye, and carefully examined the sword body by the moonlight, his expression was very similar to that of an old blacksmith who had been in the art for many years.

He put down the sword embryo again, stared at Liu Yu and said seriously: "I have the mission of my ancestors, and I can't let 'Qi' run rampant and domineering in the world, so I have to kill you, you probably won't blame me, right?"

"No, I don't believe in the so-called Qi, unless Your Excellency explains it to me in detail!" Liu Yu said in a deep voice, "After the Ten Thousand Souls Snake swallowed the Qi in Yuan Lan's body, it did not dry up and die, but it grew bigger and bigger, becoming more powerful and powerful, what is going on?"

Ding Tie shook his head, put the sword embryo on the ground, pressed the upper end of the hilt with his palm, and then bent down and put his chin on the back of his hand, the posture was extremely strange, but very relaxed, "Poor man, you are always so troublesome. In that case, I'll tell you a little bit more. The Great Snake of All Souls that you saw with your own eyes is no longer a snake, it is just a puppet controlled by Qi. Qi exhausted its vitality, took its body, and then nourished this skin with the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, so it was strange to grow stronger. ”

Liu Yu smiled bitterly, the Great Snake of All Spirits he saw in the corridor was not only a little "stronger" than ordinary snakes, but the terrifying abilities it showed were almost like gods and ghosts.

He froze and asked, "The reason why you want to kill me is to prevent me from becoming a puppet of Qi like the Great Snake of All Souls, and then bring disaster to the world?"
