Early the next morning, the shopkeeper of the king asked people to pack the things, and they were pulled by an ox cart to follow Li Moru and their carriage, accompanied by the morning light, and the three of them left the mine like this.

On the way, when they passed by the door of Chen's shopkeeper, Zhao Wumian hurriedly hid his head in the car, for fear that Chen's shopkeeper would see it, Zhang Fugui asked him what he was hiding, and he replied: "I always feel embarrassed, I was ready to buy it at his house before, and suddenly changed to another one, I feel a little bad." ”

Zhang Fugui didn't care about this, doing business was originally a fair deal for everyone, there was nothing to be embarrassed about, doing business was about you and me, I didn't like it, so I wouldn't buy it, he didn't understand what Zhao Wumian thought.

After coming out of the mine, drive along a road that is not too wide in the direction of Huizhenzhen.

At first, there were low bushes on both sides, but you could see the nearby farmland and the crystal clear river.

After a dozen miles of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, forests began to appear, and when they were called forests, they were not very big forests, but they just happened to cover the hills around the road for a few miles.

Li Moru was practicing in the car, he said that he was used to it, and he always felt uncomfortable not practicing every day, and after entering the woods, Zhao Wumian began to observe the situation around the woods.

Although the two towns are not too far away, but after all, this road is too remote, what if there are bandits, although Zhao Wumian does not think that the bandits will be idle and bored to rob a pile of useless rotten stones.

When they entered the depths of the woods, a cloud came from the sky out of nowhere, which happened to block the top of the trees, blocking out the sunlight, and the woods, which were not very bright in the first place, were much darker now.

The breeze blows through the woods, rustling, and the autumn wind is like this, as long as it blows, it will bring a pile of fallen leaves.

The wheels of the carriage were rolling and grumbling, and at some point, the sound of the horses' hooves became louder and much more confused than before, and Zhao Wumian immediately jumped out of the back of the cart, and then stopped the people who were sitting in the ox cart behind him and the coachman who was driving the carriage.

said, "Come out, friend." ”

At this time, more than a dozen people who came from nowhere appeared from the woods, three of them were riding horses, and the remaining seven people were already preparing to besiege Zhao Wumian and the others with sticks.

Zhao Wumian asked: "I don't know if my friend is on that road, we are just a small guy who helps the blacksmith shop transport ore, and I don't have much money, can I be allowed to live?"

At this time, the leader smiled with a black veil: "I know you don't have much money, and I didn't come this time to kill you, but I just wanted to teach you a lesson." ”

Zhao Wumian held his sword in front of the carriage and asked: "I don't know who Your Excellency is, we haven't had a grudge with anyone along the way, I don't know where we offended Your Excellency, and I would like to ask Your Excellency to mention one or two, even if it is death, you have to let me wait for death to understand." ”

The man in black tore off his veil and said with a smile: "Since you want to understand, I will let you understand the rules of being a man." ”

"Why are you doing that?"

It turned out that the man in black was the shopkeeper Chen who first negotiated the price in the mine yesterday, he touched his beard and said: "Business, the most important thing is integrity, since the price has been negotiated and the quantity has been set, why do you turn to buy his goods, and don't wait with me, you are really good and can't be a man." ”

At this time, Zhang Fugui heard his words, poked his head out of the carriage and said: "When you buy something, it has always been the right price and the quality of the goods, so you will buy that one, and we will naturally buy other people's ones if the price is low, and you are also a businessman, don't you understand the truth?"

"Besides, the business is about your love and my willingness, we can buy whoever we want, where to explain to you, you are just strong words, want to bully others, I tell you, you do this business, it will not last long. ”

Shopkeeper Chen smiled slightly, touched his beard and said: "It turns out that you are a little fat man who has ruined my business, and it is not your turn to teach me how to do business, I originally only planned to teach you a lesson, so that you can do what is faithful, since you have negotiated with people, you should do what you have agreed, not treachery, now, I don't think so, I decided to cut off your little fat man's tongue, and see how you talk in the future." ”

"Come on, educate them well, and by the way, get that little fat man for me, I'm going to cut out his tongue. ”

"You coachmen get out of the way, it's none of your business, and when I'm done teaching them, what should you do, I won't embarrass you. ”

As soon as the words landed, the three coachmen retreated to the side of the woods, for fear of being affected.

The seven men in black began to beckon towards Zhao Wumian with sticks in hand, and they were Zhao Wumian's opponents, and Zhao Wumian's long sword was unsheathed.

Qi luck dantian, and then jumped up a zhang high with a long sword in his hand at the moment of rushing out, and flew straight in front of the person surnamed Chen, Zhao Wumian didn't want to delay time on the road, he knew that as long as the surname Chen was solved, the matter here would naturally be solved.

Who would have thought that the two people surnamed Chen also jumped up, holding a big knife and confronting Zhao Wumian in the air.

The two of them collided with Zhao Wumian's sword, but where could the two people's knives be compared to Zhao Wumian's sword, just one face, and the two of them were cut off.

This is not only because of the sharpness of Zhao Wumian's sword, but also because Zhao Wumian has deep internal strength.

And at this moment, a man in black who rushed to the side of the carriage was also slapped by Li Moru and flew in front of the surnamed Chen, and the horse surnamed Chen was also frightened by the collision, and he accidentally fell off the horse.

And Li Moru used the light skill that the Huiyang Taoist taught him before he flew out of the back of the car, and then knocked the two men around him to the ground with one palm.

Just when the sticks of the remaining four people smashed into Li Moru is instant, Zhao Wumian kicked on the horse surnamed Chen, and the horse fell to the ground in an instant, with the help of this instantaneous thrust, he rushed to Li Moru in an instant, and then the sword flashed, and the sticks in the hands of the four people were instantly cut into two pieces.

Several people dropped the sticks in their hands, raised their fists and smashed them towards Zhao Wumian and Li Moru, just between the intersecting breaths, the two jumped, and several people threw themselves into the air and fell to the ground.

Then Zhao Wumian dropped a long sword from the sky and stuck it in the gap where several people fell, "Get out, otherwise, next time, my sword will not be deflected." ”

Several people hurriedly ran in the direction of the mine, and the surnamed Chen also hurriedly rode away on horseback.

Zhang Fugui in the carriage was stunned, and after everyone ran away, he slowly jumped out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Don't run if you have the ability, didn't you have to cut my tongue just now, come on." ”

Li Moru scared him and said, "Fugui, it's almost over, if you call us back, the two of us will slip away." ”

Zhang Fugui put his hand on his shoulder and asked, "Moru, when have you become so powerful, if you are equipped with a sword, you will really be a sword immortal." ”

Li Moru said proudly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's so-so, don't worship me too much." ”

Zhao Wumian asked the coachmen to come over to catch the car, there should be no trouble on the road, and they will be paid when they get to the place, so they don't have to worry.

In this way, the three of them set foot on the road back to the ancient town again.

After leaving the woods, the autumn wind sent away the lingering clouds, and the sun began to shine again, although it was already autumn, but there were still many beautiful scenery to enjoy along the way.

When he returned to the blacksmith shop, Li Moru saw several gorgeously dressed people coming out of the blacksmith shop, and later he asked Yang Juan to find out that these people had come to ask for swords.

You don't have to think about it, you must have touched a nose and went back, but Li Moru was very curious, there were few people in the ancient town who knew that Lao Yang Tou could cast swords, and looking at their clothes, they looked like outsiders, how to find the master.

Although he was puzzled, Lao Yang Tou said that it was nothing, and he didn't ask about it again.

Zhang Fugui has been preparing something since he arrived in Guzhen, and he is also concentrating on studying his own affairs during class, so Mr. Mo naturally has no intention of reproaching him.

Everything is slowly starting to get back on track.

Under the teaching of Lao Yang Tou, Li Moru began to practice martial arts while learning the knowledge of sword casting.

Melt the ore, get the pig iron, the pig iron through passing calcination repeatedly hammered to change its original nature, Lao Yang Tou told Li Moru that the process of calcination is the same as the process of human growth.

There will always be many tribulations in growing up, but as long as you keep overcoming it and becoming more perfect, you can get a good sword, an invincible sword.

In the blacksmith's shop, the red-hot iron is constantly hammered and exercised, and the sparks are everywhere.

Lao Yang Tou also told Li Moru his unique sword-casting method, sandwiching two pieces of forged rigid steel with a piece of flexible steel, and heating them at high temperatures in the furnace to make them bond together with each other.

Then, through repeated beatings, three pieces of steel are finally cast into the thickness of a sword, so that the forged sword will be both useful and flexible, and extremely sharp.

It is a truth that he taught Li Moru to strike iron and practice and be a man, and he must learn to combine rigidity and softness, and reconcile yin and yang, so as to maximize the value of the sword itself.

He also taught Li Moru that if you want to forge a sword for women, then the requirements will be softer, so you need to add special materials to the quenching process.

He saw that while his master was quenching, he also put the red-hot iron into a pile of ash from time to time, and then continued to beat and continue to quench, so that the sword that came out was indeed much lighter, and softer.

Lao Yang Tou said that this is called out of the mud and not stained, Li Moru gave him a blank look, asked him if it was because of the pile of ash, he told Li Moru the truth, and also told Li Moru the material and proportion of the pile of ash.

Lao Yang Tou said that casting weapons is a lifelong knowledge, and only by being a good person can you refine good iron and good swords, so that Li Moru can remember his words well.

For the next few years, Li Moru had been learning to forge swords and practice martial arts, and would go to Mr. Mo from time to time to talk to him and learn Taoist doctrines from him.
