Chapter 7: Breaking the Stone

After knocking on the dust in his cigarette stick, Old Man Li pointed to the door where the side room was located and said, "It's in the side room, you can look for it."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and lay down on his chaise longue, no longer moving

The side room was full of coal ash left over from striking iron, or some blackened charcoal, and Zhixian pinched his nose and reached into his hand, and it took a long time to touch a piece of extremely hard iron

Immediately after opening it, a piece of black material covered with coal ash appeared in front of Zhi Xian, wiped the ash from his nose, and Zhi Xian looked at this piece of black material helplessly

At this time, he was a little skeptical that this black material could hold the fire

With the help of Leyi, Zhixian finally started his own forging road, although he heard a lot of chatter from his master, but he remembered very little

There is a big stove in the middle of the room, there is a bellows by the fire, Leyi is already sitting on a small bench waiting for Zhixian, after seeing Zhixian, he showed a smile, the wind entered the stove, and the flames in the hearth went straight out

Zhixian used a rack to clamp the material and put it on the stove, and the forged iron was going to be red in the furnace now, and Leyi pulled the bellows so hard for the first time

"Brother, are you really good?" asked Leyi curiously

Zhi Xian showed a confident smile, "Believe in brother"

After a long time, Leyi looked at Zhixian sweating profusely, "Brother, isn't it okay?"

Zhi Xian's face was a little sluggish, because he found that the iron in this furnace had not turned red at all, but was still precipitating black

"Wait a minute, it hasn't turned red yet," Zhixian said as he wiped his sweat

There were a few disciples standing behind him who were watching the excitement, "You don't look at the kid, he still wants to strike iron."

"Look at the bones of his ribs," the other man said with a smile

Seeing Old Man Li coming over, several boys hurriedly walked back to their positions, obviously in the blacksmith shop, Old Man Li was still more strict with these disciples

"Boy, if you can't do it, forget it, I don't think you're the material for striking iron," said Old Man Li while holding a cigarette stick

In a small house on the main street of Wind and Snow City, a man in a brocade robe was walking with a horse and a fist at this time, and he was in front of a pile of wooden stakes, constantly handing out punches

Behind him, a plainly dressed man ran and said, "Childe, it's not good, Dingfu was bought, it is said that he is the concubine of a certain immortal family, and he may be packing up his things at the moment, and there are many poor men waiting to throw things at the door."

The man in brocade was silent, still handing out punch after punch, as if the wooden stake in front of him was his true destination

The man just stood aside and looked at the man in front of him, with a hint of pity in his eyes, followed by helplessness

"Childe, don't practice, no, you can go with me to see there, is there anything you need me to bring back for you?" the man said quietly

The man in brocade paused suddenly, and turned his head to look at the man beside him, "Ding Yan, I know what you mean, just go and get busy with yours, I'll stay by myself for a while"

After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, sitting in front of a wooden pier made of only big trees, just looking at the sky outside, but he didn't know that the man in brocade was the only survivor of Nading Mansion

That night, it was something that the eldest young master of the Ding family, who had just grown into a man, would never forget in his life, even if the burning Ding Mansion made a huge cry for help, as if the entire Ding Mansion had been removed from the Wind and Snow City, and no one had ever known about it

Even if the family worshippers hard, they can't fight more than half of the black-clothed masked man, and the Ding family on that day, thinking of this, the brocade-clothed man smashed the wooden stake next to him with a punch, and he still couldn't help roaring

Outside the wooden door, an old man in ragged clothes walked in, clutching a pitch-black wine gourd in his hand, which looked like it had been dyed by mud

As soon as he walked into the wooden door, Ding Yan hurriedly walked over at this time, "Where is it called Huazi, roll" After speaking, he was about to drive the old man outside

The old man flicked his sleeves and walked into the house, Ding Yan was instantly shot out of half a foot, and then looked at the old man in front of him in surprise, "Young master, run!" Knowing that it was the enemy who came, he shouted at the young master beside him

The old man's tone was a little helpless, "Stinky boy, I'm not here to seek revenge, what are you running?"

The young master of the Ding family's eyes were a little confused, and the horror that was only worthy of it instantly spread throughout his body, even if he was new to the martial realm, in front of this old man, he was like an ant

After Ding Yan was restrained by a fresh wind, he couldn't get up, and his hands grabbed the dirt on the ground fiercely, as if his fingers were about to grab blood

"Boy, I'm not here to kill my mouth" The old man sat on the ground leisurely, looking at the young master of the Ding family in front of him intentionally or unintentionally

"I don't know, but remember me?" the old man now ripped off his messy hair, revealing a somewhat swarthy face with a little dust on it

After the young master of the Ding family looked at it seriously with some doubts at this time, he instantly realized, "You are, you are the old man called Hanako"

The old man in ragged clothes smiled, and then raised his head and took a sip of wine, as if he was finally happy, "That's right, it's me"

After hearing that his young master shouted the words "Huazi", as the young master's personal scholar, Ding Yan naturally knew what was going on

I remember that when the young master was about sixteen years old, the snowflakes in the snowy city that day, the snowflakes were exceptionally big, and the young master of his own family ran out of the house for fun, and he took more than a dozen families out to look for it, and he never found it after looking for it several times

Until the snow stopped, a family found the young master in a remote alley, and the young master at that time squatted next to an old man named Hanako, and his velvet coat was long gone, as if he was draped on the body of the old man named Hanako

Then the young master's eyes looked at the old man named Hanako in front of him with some worry, as if he was afraid that this old man would die, and when he saw the young master who only had a thin coat left, Ding Yan felt distressed, and then stepped forward to take off his clothes to his own young master

Let him not be so cold first, remember that when his young master turned his head, his face was extremely happy, and he was just about to open his mouth to tell him about himself and this old man called Hanako, the old man coughed and said, "Boy, you better leave quickly, I remember you, Ding Miao, right?"

The rich young master who was called Ding Miao nodded with a smile, and then said, "Old man, don't you want to die" After speaking, he turned around and left

Since then, I will always see this old man named Huazi wandering around Ding's mansion, and Ding Yan will also kindly send out a few steamed buns, so that this old man will not starve to death in the ice and snow, at this time the old man looked at Ding Miao with a melancholy face

Ding Miao waved her sleeves a little embarrassed, "Old man, I can't care about your full meal now, it's become a problem for me to eat by myself" After finishing speaking, Ding Miao looked down at her toes, a little melancholy

At this time, the man described that he could not help the old man, but not how miserable he was

The old man smiled helplessly, "Boy, if it weren't for your temper, I really wouldn't be able to come here, old man, even if my realm doesn't climb by half a point, old man, I, but I swore it."

Immediately after that, with Ding Miao's face surprised, the old man in rags waved his sleeves, and in the courtyard, the aura was overflowing, Ding Miao hurriedly stood up, and looked at the old man in front of him with great surprise

"What the hell are you?"

The old man in rags showed his only white front teeth, and said with a smile, "Old man, named Lu Ming, have you heard of it?"

Ding Miao had just entered the so-called Jianghu Martial Arts Realm, so naturally he didn't know the word Lu Ming, and he didn't know what kind of turmoil these two words had caused in the rivers and lakes decades ago

Lu Ming nodded and smiled, "Boy, I know why your Ding family was destroyed, and I also know who the enemy of your Ding family is, you are kind to the old man, but the old man I swear not to make a move, so everything can only rely on yourself, if you are my apprentice, inherit the old man's self-cultivation, and use it for revenge, it's enough."

Even if it was just enough, it made the young master of the Ding family feel a little turbulent, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I've seen the master"

Lu Ming smiled, in fact, this old man accepted apprentices, more just to repay his kindness, helpless, I remember that my master once said a sentence, born in the world, it is better not to owe others, these will be remembered

On this day, in the Wind and Snow City, Lu Ming, who was known as the Mountain Daoist, stepped into the sky above the Wind and Snow City, and it was actually the Imperial Dao Sword, with Ding Miao and Ding Yan behind him

"Snow Monster, the time limit has expired, I won't play with you" The voice resounded throughout the Wind and Snow City with internal force, as if telling someone that he was leaving, and it was best not to stop me

In the Wind and Snow City, there was silence, and no one answered Lu Ming's words, but he looked up at this sword immortal flying in the sky, and his heart was extremely envious

Old man Li knocked on the cigarette stick, and actually muttered a strange sentence, "After so many years, it can be regarded as a clear thing" After speaking, he took a sip of tea with some emotion, and no longer looked at the surprised envy in the room, leaving him lying on the rocking chair

——————

In the Ding Mansion that has been renamed in Wind and Snow City, a woman with a beautiful face is sitting cross-legged on the ground at this time, and her body seems to have spiritual power, like a cross-kneeled immortal

The maid on the side looked at the woman in front of her, her eyes were closed, and she didn't know that her spirit had indeed covered most of the Wind and Snow City, and she was looking for that familiar breath

Immediately after that, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, and blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, obviously she was stopped by someone, and the person who stopped her only left a sentence of strong internal force

"I allowed you to enter Wind and Snow City, it is already very good to give that old man face, if there is a next time, hum!" Wind and Snow City, with the highest title cultivation and the highest realm, the snow old monster, sitting in the study room of a certain attic at this time, is turning over a book called "Li" with both hands, which is said to be written by a Chinese champion Xiucai in the capital

"Master, Lu Ming left with the young master of the Ding family, do you need me to stop you?"

The old monster of Snow City waved his hand and said, "You guys, you can't stop it, now Lu Ming, it's a little difficult for me to ask myself, a few of you, forget it, if he hadn't been bent on death, do you think I could really make him swear to guard Wind Snow City for fifty years?"

The disciple left in a huff, and the old monster stroked his white eyebrows, and also said a strange word, "Indeed, now, it has become interesting."

Zhi Xian looked at the black iron in front of him with a sweat, the black iron was still black at this time under the blessing of the furnace fire, if he could not feel the temperature personally, he was a little afraid that this fire was fake

Old man Li walked over a little helplessly, and said to Zhixian, "Boy, it's been an hour, if you can't do it, forget it."

Zhixian's face did not change, and he said with some surprise, "Senior, this iron is not an ordinary thing, right?"

At this time, he even had the strength to breathe, while he looked distressed, and wanted to go up and replace him to pull the bellows himself, Leyi waved his hand, "Brother, you take care of you first, maybe it will be fine soon" While saying, the hand that grabbed the bellows worked hard again, and his face was ruddy, but because the bellows that lasted for an hour did not stop, the blood swelled

Zhi Xian was a little angry at this time, turned around and grabbed the figure of Old Man Li who was leaving, and said in a somewhat unkind tone, "Senior, you better tell me what's going on."

Seeing this, the disciples who were busy with their work instantly put down the work in their hands, and they all stood up and looked at Zhi Xian in front of them

"Don't move, he's just worried about my apprentice, what are you excited about?" boy, you take a closer look at this material, and then talk to me" Old man Li was still smiling, as if he had guessed what all this was happening

Suspicious, Zhi Xian turned his head to look at the furnace, the flames were surging and approaching the furnace, this was the effort of an hour of Leyi, which made the flames in the furnace so vigorous

There was nothing unusual in the stove, but Zhixian still believed in the old man behind him, his face was a little hideous at this time, and his eyes were only raging fire

Above the attic of Wind and Snow City, the old snow monster of Wind and Snow City who had just closed the "Reason" was a little hesitant at this time, but he had to make a decision, and finally with a wave of his hand, it was outside the gate of Wind and Snow City, there seemed to be a crack that was normal

Old man Li whispered softly, using words that he could not understand because he had never entered the martial realm around the scene, "Borrow the fire today, and he will return it tomorrow" The voice was majestic, with a little bit of the vigor of a peak qi practitioner, and the strong internal force seemed to shock the sky above the entire Wind and Snow City

Lu Ming, who left with Ding Miao, turned his head to look at the Wind and Snow City behind him at this time, his eyes were a little playful, "I really can't imagine that this weird old man can be a demon"

Ding Miao, who didn't understand what the old man next to him said, looked at the surrounding scenery at this time, although he was the eldest young master of the first family in Wind and Snow City, the number of times he walked out of Wind and Snow City was simply a handful

After getting the promise of the true martial arts master of Wind and Snow City, on the stove of the blacksmith shop in the alley, the fire gradually turned black, and the red flame of Tao Tao turned black, and under the gesture of Old Man Li, Le Yi finally let go of his hand

The bellows does not pull automatically, and the speed of going back and forth is a little faster than that of Le Yi's hands, and the black fire covers this piece of black flame, at this time, the old man Li looked chattering, "Boy, if you are given a chance, what do you want to play?"

Ignoring the puzzled looks of all the disciples present, Zhi Xian smiled flatly, and said vigorously in a proud tone with his chest, "I am a knife"

Leyi was a little confused, he thought that his eldest brother would eventually choose a sword as a weapon

Even Old Man Li frowned, and then this look instantly dissipated, turned into a smile, said three good words in a row, and turned to leave

"Let's think about how we strike iron first," the voice was long, with a hint of skepticism

But Zhixian didn't care about these, his eyes looked at the stove in front of him, in the furnace, there seemed to be something that fascinated him, and suddenly an idea appeared in his heart, at this moment, he actually wanted to punch very much
