"Uncle~, you can do me a favor. Seeing that Shangguan Yi didn't know what to do, the little monk quietly ran to the side of the drunkard uncle, pulled his sleeve and said.

"This ......" Uncle Drunkard was also a little embarrassed, but his embarrassment was a little different from Shangguan Yi.

The difficulty of Shangguan Yi is the rules, people can't stand without trust, since people have set up this rule, it is impossible not to abide by it, if you can change it casually, the rules are just, meaningless, and it can't be changed every day.

But the drunkard uncle is different, what virtues and rules his old man has, he still doesn't know? If he really persuades him to sell Xue Hanyin to Shangguan Yi, it's not impossible, but he also wants it himself, this person has a bad root, and he doesn't want others to get what he can't get, especially those who are not as good as himself, so ...... Uncle Drunkard is actually not very happy that this piece of snow cold silver falls into the hands of Shangguan Yi; second, Shangguan Yi is not good to the little monk, but the little monk treats him very well, which makes him look down on him as a bystander; third, he and the strong man's thoughts are actually the same, good steel must be used on the blade, and materials must be used to the fullest, especially top materials like snow cold silver, waste is shameful. Zhuang Hanli such a rule is for this purpose, although it can not completely solve the problem, but it has avoided the waste of materials to a large extent, such a rule is like Shangguan Yi thought, it is easy to change, after opening the precedent, there will be countless cows, ghosts, snakes and gods to come to the door, they can't deal with it, after all, this is Kyoto, and there are countless Kyoto dignitaries!

However, as mentioned in the first article, the drunkard uncle can convince the strong man to sell the snow cold silver to Shangguan Yi, and it is without breaking the rules.

Of course, this is not the kind of trick that makes Shangguan Yi give the money to the drunkard uncle, and the drunkard uncle buys snow cold silver and then gives it to Shangguan Yi, so that the strong man can turn a blind eye and pass over. If Uncle Drunkard really uses such a method to be discovered by a strong man, the strong man probably won't want to recognize an old friend like Uncle Drunkard.

Therefore, Uncle Drunkard's method is to let Shangguan Yizhen really get the approval of the strong man and buy snow cold silver from the strong man.

The rules that the strong man said are true, there is no half-false, but he said a few less, the meaning is not the same, and it seems too harsh, after all, there are not many excellent blacksmiths, and there are even fewer excellent blacksmiths in Kyoto, and they can't all come here to buy raw materials, if they are raised, the strong man will have starved to death, so he has other rules.

Dreams are important, but they are not the most important, to live, only by living well, can we continue to pursue our dreams.

"Uncle~" The little monk pulled the sleeve of the drunkard uncle and was coquettish, and then the drunkard uncle was killed in seconds.

"Let me ask you again, what are you going to do when you buy this piece of snow cold silver?" The drunkard uncle glared at Shangguan Yi helplessly, and asked him the question he had asked before, and the implication was not too obvious.

"I am a swordsman, although I am still weak, but I will eventually use the sword in my hand to meet the heroes of the world, will fight all walks of life with the sword in my heart, and protect what I think is worth protecting, so I need a sword that really belongs to me and can fight with me in this life!" Shangguan Yi said firmly, at this moment he is as solid as a rock, but he exudes an indestructible sense of sharpness, this momentum is really terrifying.

"Oh?" the drunkard put away some of his contempt, looked at Shangguan Yi with his eyes wide a little seriously, and then said to the strong man, "Old friend, don't you have other rules? ”

"You..." The strong man who was betrayed by his friend suddenly looked so sad and angry that he pointed to the drunkard uncle, and then said to Shangguan Yi: "People have national boundaries, but skills and dreams have no borders, so my friends are from all over the world, and we never target anyone because of grievances between countries."

But, for the first time, I had such an idea, and for the first time, I was afraid of a certain customer, and I was afraid that what I gave him would be used to invade my country. I know that you are not from the East China Sea, you are from Zhongzhen, I go south and north, these eyes are still there; I also know that the future of the East China Sea is bright now, but Zhongzhen is the opposite, so I need someone to protect it; but I am actually scared, hehe, it may be that I am old, and I am beginning to be afraid.

These are my considerations, but the rules are the rules, and I will do it according to the rules, but I hope that if my vision comes true one day, you can remember that the reason you gave me today is to guard! You don't have to give me any promises, those who can do it will naturally do it, and those who can't do it will not be able to do it even if they have a promise, this thing is as fragile as paper.

That's what I'm trying to say, and now I'm going to get to the point, and I have one more rule: if you can prove that you deserve the material, and you can make it useful, then I can sell it to you, but the price will be higher than the market price, you know. ”

Shangguan Yi thought for a while, then nodded cautiously and said, "I remember what you said earlier. For the last rule, my conditions should be satisfied, in terms of strength, you can test as much as you want, I think I am worthy of this rare piece of snow cold silver, as for coming in handy, I have a close friend of the big clan, she said that if I don't have my own sword in more than two years, she will ask a master blacksmith to cast a sword for me. ”

"Blacksmith Master?" The strong man and the drunkard uncle were taken aback, don't look at what Mo Qianliu said simply and easily, but in fact, the identity of the blacksmith master is quite precious, because to become a blacksmith master, the first thing is to create a divine weapon, which is extremely difficult, if the casting is really so simple, will the divine weapon be so sought-after? Don't look at Shangguan Yi who is very dissatisfied with the sword in his hand, in fact, it is all fake, if it weren't for the top geniuses in the rivers and lakes that he wants to compete for, this sword is enough for him to use, and he needs to change it until the sword can't be used.

Although the drunkard uncle is a well-known blacksmith, he is still far from the master's realm, a long way away, so the strong man thinks that the drunkard may spoil this piece of snow cold silver. But now that Shangguan Yi opened his mouth, he asked the master blacksmith to make a move, can it not surprise people?

"Yes, is this okay?" Shangguan Yi asked again.

"Of course, your friend... Does she still lack friends?" the drunkard uncle took the lead in saying without waiting for the strong man to answer, and then asked Shangguan Yi slightly, what it meant was self-evident.

"This ...... She's still a bit cold, she doesn't like to make friends, and it might be a little difficult for you to hook up with that blacksmith through her, and I don't think she's too familiar with that person, and I have to prepare my own materials and wine as a reward to ask him to help, emm. Of course, Shangguan Yi politely rejected the hint of the drunkard uncle, not that he was indifferent and ruthless, but that the drunkard uncle's meaning was obviously unreliable, even if you were shy, it was still a question of whether people were willing to accept it, and if it was really rejected at that time, no one's face would look good.

"No, it's so easy to ask someone to make a move, and it's still not very familiar? What is familiar? You kid doesn't think of the blacksmith master as a person? A problem that can be solved with a bottle of fine wine can still be called a problem? Do you know that you can help unfamiliar people build weapons, even if you bring your own materials, you have to charge high material costs, labor costs, and prepare some rare ores as a meeting gift, etc., otherwise who has time to help you work hard to forge a sword?" The drunkard uncle suddenly became excited, and then wilted again, and said: " Just ask her if your friend is okay, ask her if the master blacksmith has an apprentice or something, I can do it. ”

"Good, so humble. Hua Xiangrong whispered, giving Uncle Drunkard a critical blow.

"Well, I'll ask about this, and I'll tell you if I have a chance. Shangguan Yi was helpless, and then wrote to Mo Qianliu and asked him to ask the blacksmith master if he could succeed in this matter, although he thought it was unlikely, but people had just helped him, and he couldn't refuse directly, after all, without his help, this piece of snow cold silver would never be sold to him, and now it seems that it is a sure thing.

"Well, don't forget to join me when you ask, I'm already a mature intermediate blacksmith, and I'm moving towards the advanced level, with a solid foundation, patience and willingness to learn, and so on, so I'll invite you to drink." Uncle Tian said shamelessly, with expectation in his eyes.

"Yes, don't worry, as for drinking, forget it, first, I can't drink enough, and secondly, I drink and make mistakes, so it's better for you to pay attention to this. Shangguan Yi reminded that if the blacksmith master didn't like his disciple to drink, it would probably cause trouble.

"Well, our blacksmith is good at wine, don't you see that you have to prepare a pot of wine when you ask the master blacksmith for help? We appreciate the good man who can drink, and this old fellow and I also met because of the wine!" Uncle Drunkard disagreed, although this kid has a friend who can invite the master blacksmith, but he obviously does not know enough about this industry, how can casting be without wine?

"Well, that's it. Shangguan Yi nodded, hoping that he was right, and also hoped that there would be no moths at that time, in case... Something happened, he was very embarrassed as the introducer, and Mo Qianliu was also embarrassed.

"As for the test, why don't you just let him move the ore back for me to test his physical fitness?" Uncle Drunkard is quite insidious, although he was a little humble just now, but didn't he get the field back quickly? Hmph, he said that he moved alone, so many ores, even if his physical strength is good, he will be tired and half dead, right?

"It's not impossible. "The strong man doesn't know what grievances the two of them have, but, the good and bad of a swordsman can be seen in the simple physical exercise, the strength and speed of the physical fitness, the degree of perseverance in the exercise, to a certain extent, determine how far a swordsman can go in the future, so, this test method is not bad, although because of the friend's request for others, the passing line is very low, but if he performs too poorly, it is not possible to agree, after all, if you don't even have a certain strength base, the credibility of what you say is very low, in case you are a liar, it is not a loss？

"But isn't this to test and judge my physical fitness?" said the little monk in a low voice.

"There will be a chance in the future, this time it is a special case, I want that piece of snow cold silver, so I can only do this. Shangguan Yi explained to him, and the little monk also said that he could understand.

"Come with me, in the backyard. The strong man greeted Shangguan Yi, and Shangguan Yi did not suspect him, so he followed, and the drunkard uncle followed to watch a good show in the back.

"These are all of them. The strong man pointed to the side of the courtyard and said.

"Oh. Shangguan Yi, who had already guessed that things were not so simple, answered without surprise, and then picked up the big back basket next to him and began to load the stones into it. These are all raw ores of various metals that need to be refined, I think the drunkard uncle wants to hone his basic kung fu so chosen, right? After all, no matter what he does, solid basic skills are necessary, so it seems that his skills should indeed be good.

"These are these?" the little monk shouted, this is half a yard of ore, and the piles are almost as tall as a strong man, let Shangguan Yi finish moving it alone?

"That's right, otherwise how can you prove that he is a genius worthy of Xue Hanyin?"

"What's so unworthy of a dead thing?" Hua Xiangrong didn't understand.

"Everything has a soul, even if it seems to be dead, it has its own attributes, and it has its own suitable person or thing, if it really doesn't make any difference, I don't have to ask someone to forge a sword anymore. The real good things are spiritual, and the blacksmith is to awaken the sleeping souls in the ore, knead them together, and make them into a divine weapon, a divine weapon far superior to ordinary weapons. Shangguan Yi explained to Hua Xiangrong while loading the stone, in fact, he also saw the latter sentence from the book, and he was moved.

"Well said, it's not just casting, it's every business, don't underestimate them. The strong man nodded solemnly, Shangguan Yi's words were deeply in his heart, if not, why would he stick to a small shop for so many years? With his connections, where can he not eat? If he doesn't really love it, why give up so many things to be in a safe corner?

"Well, where are these ores going to?" Shangguan Yi filled a basket and asked the drunkard uncle where he was going.

"You can make sure you can carry it on your back first, right? If you don't move your back, you can pack less. The drunkard looked a little empty when his basket was full, and although he wanted to teach this kid a lesson, he was not a bad person. These stones are not ordinary stones, just like Shangguan Yi thought, he is indeed used to exercise his skills, material identification, extraction, refining, casting, such a complete set, the improvement is very great, and it is a retreat, so the ore bought is quite miscellaneous. This means that their weight is far beyond ordinary stones, maybe something the size of a palm can weigh ten catties, such a large basket, the weight is probably ......

Shangguan Yi leaned down, put his arms through the harness, and inhaled slightly to carry it, which was not a difficult look.

"Okay, boy, have a strength, come with me, the first time I will lead the way, so as not to have an accident, an old friend will entertain these two." Uncle Drunkard gave a thumbs up, and then arranged for his old friend to wave to Shangguan Yi and signal to follow him.

Shangguan Yi raised his feet and followed, still a little struggling, but okay.
