Chapter 269: Broken Dreams

(I have gained a lot from joining Zongheng for a year, thank you for your support.) )

For seven days and forty-nine days, the fire of wrath burned brightly, and the furnace turned from darkness to red.

On the top of the deep pit, everyone gathered around again, this is the third time in a year that the magic weapon has been produced. Because of the first two failures, many people have great hopes for the production of magic weapons this time.

Lu Li came here early and saw that the patriarch, the patriarch's wife, and the patriarch's younger brother were all there. Lu Li can't remember the last time, the patriarch's younger brother was not there, maybe he was, after all, the whole Mountain Eagle family was there.

"Why hasn't the auspicious time been there?"

Mingyang's heart is like grass growing, this opening of the furnace is the only chance for Jin, the hope of the entire Shanying family, and the hope of Mingyang.

"Why are you so nervous?"

"We have been in this broken place for more than 50 days, this furnace, if you produce a good thing, you can become a magic weapon caster, your heart can be put in your stomach, and we can go back to the Valley of the Underworld. Kill three birds with one stone, you say, can I not be nervous?"

Of course, Lu Li was also nervous, but Mingyang stood next to her, which increased her nervousness, and Lu Li endured it so that he didn't kick Mingyang aside.

"Hey, hey, it's getting started. ”

Lu Li looked at it, the patriarch and Jin Fei entered the pit, one north and one south, the two looked solemn, although they couldn't see each other, they moved in unison.

Lu Li and Mingyang were standing in the east, and they could see the two people in the pit clearly. Lu Li's side, the patriarch's younger brother shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived, open the furnace!"

Standing at the bottom of the pit, the two men ignored the blazing flames of anger, and the wings of the huge mountain eagle stretched out. As it was the last time, many eagles spread their wings and chirped to the sky.

The patriarch and Jin stretched out their arms, thanking the heavens and the earth.

The lid of the furnace slowly opened, and the light blue magic weapon slowly soared.

The surrounding Mountain Eagle Clan people welcomed the magic weapon even more warmly, and Lu Li felt that his heart was in his throat, last time he was just watching the excitement, but this time he has become a person in the game.

The artifact continued to soar, finally revealing the shape of a bow.

Lu Li unconsciously grabbed Mingyang's hand, Mingyang was pinched in pain, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

The bow continued to appear, and everyone held their breath, and the fire of anger contracted sharply, as if it had given the magic weapon the most prominent place.

With a cry from Guera, everyone gasped, and before Lu Li could figure out what was wrong, the bow had already fallen apart.

In the same situation as last time, the fragments of the magic weapon hit everyone, fueling the fire of anger again, and Mingyang almost sacrificed pure water again, but fortunately, Lu Li still kept his senses.

The patriarch and Jin had already flown out of the bottom of the pit, and the patriarch's younger brother organized everyone to leave in an orderly manner.

Lu Li felt his heart cold, and heard Mingyang say again: "How could it fail?

Lu Li left with the crowd, and saw from a distance that Jin was frowning, his face was heavy, and he was at a loss, and he didn't know what to do, as if he didn't expect that this time it would end in failure.

"How could it have failed!" Mingyang walked around the room

"Do you think it could be the patriarch who is determined not to let the magic weapon succeed?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"It's not impossible, is it? The patriarch began to stop his son from casting magic weapons, and even threw away the red clay, and said that he would close the furnace permanently, why did he suddenly change his mind? Little demon girl, you don't doubt it at all?"

Lu Li's brows tightened, she didn't want to think about it.

"Poor and cautious, with such a father, he can't be motivated!"

"Mingyang, I don't think the patriarch is such a person. ”

"Then you say, that magic weapon looks obviously good, and it is all visible, why did it suddenly explode? Also, that patriarch is obviously and secretly stopping Jin, why is he suddenly so kind and casting a weapon with him? I see, he is clearly escorting his son, but in fact, he secretly used his hands and feet to cut off Jin's magic weapon casting road.

Oh, this old fox, now that he has failed to make magic weapons, according to the agreement, he wants to inherit the position of patriarch and close the furnace. Mingyang was afraid of the table, "Oh my God, this old fox stepped down from the position of patriarch, let Jin succeed him, and then close the furnace, abandoning the 10,000-year-old magic weapon manufacturing tradition of the Mountain Eagle family. In the future, the children of the Shanying family will only know that it is Jin, and they have given up the manufacture of magic weapons, and they have lost their traditions.

Little demon girl, you old ancestor, your heart is very dark, you have to be careful!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"How can I be talking nonsense, how reasonable my analysis is. Hey, by the way, I haven't fought his father, and you don't have anything to worry about when you can't become a magic weapon caster, shouldn't we go back?"

"I want to go back to you, I won't go back. ”

"What are you doing here if you don't go back? Is it possible, you want to assassinate the patriarch? Help Jin break free? Little demon girl, don't be stupid, that patriarch is your mother-in-law's own father, and if you assassinate him, you will be punished by God for destroying your ancestors. ”

"I said, can you stop talking nonsense! I don't believe that the patriarch did anything to the magic weapon of the senior. ”

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, are there still fewer conspiracies we have seen in the human world? There are so many smiling tigers, if we hadn't seen their time, I wouldn't have believed it. ”

"In this world, there are indeed many sinister and cunning people, but I don't believe that the patriarch is such a person. ”

"Why don't you believe it? Just because he's your mother-in-law's father? Don't forget, after your mother-in-law left here to go to Buzhou Mountain, she never contacted him again, even if she threw herself into the battlefield, left from the battlefield, and went to the human world, she didn't come back to find him. I think your mother-in-law just saw his true colors clearly, so she never looked back. ”

"I know my mother-in-law, she just doesn't want to affect her family. And the patriarch, I know, he has always been very worried about his mother-in-law, but none of them told each other, and finally missed this life. ”

"It's all your subjective guess. ”

"When I was young, I often saw my mother-in-law standing in the yard, looking into the distance alone, at that time, I looked at my mother-in-law's back, although I didn't know what was going on, but I felt that she was the loneliest person in the world. Later, I lost

When I went to my homeland, I didn't know you and Xiaoman, wandering in the human world, I suddenly understood my mother-in-law's eyes, isn't that missing home?

Mingyang, didn't you see the white hair of the patriarch and the patriarch's wife? They were obviously sad for their mother-in-law, but they didn't say anything, and they always disliked their mother-in-law for leaving the battlefield, which humiliated the family's reputation. They obviously went to Buzhou Mountain to ask Uncle Qi to help find the whereabouts of their mother-in-law, but they were very sad when they knew that their mother-in-law had passed away, but they said that their mother-in-law was not good.

Mingyang, eyes can't deceive people. No matter what they say, the sadness in their eyes can't deceive people.

There is also Senior Jin, he wants to be a magic caster, he doesn't want to open any small workshop, so the patriarch agreed to open the furnace again, giving Senior Jin one last chance. I think that this last chance, why didn't the patriarch give him himself? The predecessors have worked hard to become a magic weapon caster for thousands of years, why didn't the patriarch work hard to become a great magic weapon caster?

Although I don't approve of the patriarch's suppression of Jinsen, I can understand that they don't want Jin's seniors to follow a path that they have already walked very hard.

Mingyang, now that the magic weapon casting has failed again, the seniors feel uncomfortable, is it easy to feel good as the head of the clan, as the patriarch of the magic weapon caster?"

"That'...... Now that the casting of magic weapons has failed, even if he is unwilling, he has to agree to close the furnace and become a patriarch who will no longer cast magic weapons according to the agreement. Is he really willing?"

Lu Li shook his head, "I don't know, but it is his responsibility to become the patriarch." Even if he can't become a magic forger, he has to do his duty as a patriarch. ”

Mingyang sat on the chair gloomily, "In our Demon Realm, the magic weapon caster of the Mountain Eagle Family is a myth, but also a symbol. Although they produce very little and never use it for outsiders, as long as they talk about magic weapon casting, they can't avoid the Mountain Eagle family. But now, the Mountain Eagle family is actually going to close the furnace and become a family that no longer casts magic weapons, which is not only the decline of the Mountain Eagle family, but also the decline of our entire demon world. An era is over. ”

Lu Li rubbed his hands, "We are just outsiders, and we are all so emotional, and the people of their Mountain Eagle family are probably even more sad and unbearable." ”

——

"Niece, Prince Mingyang, why are you here?"

The next day, everyone rested for the night and went on with their lives as if nothing had happened. It's just that everyone is silent, and they don't talk about the failure of the production of magic weapons when they meet.

Lu Li and Mingyang came to Jin's residence early in the morning, "Senior, we ...... Let's ......" Lu Li felt that his tongue was knotted, and he couldn't say a single word he had thought of.

Compared with the restraint of Lu Li and the others, he looked relaxed, "I will inherit the position of patriarch the day after tomorrow, if you have time, you are welcome to come to the inheritance ceremony." ”

"Senior, did you really give up?"

Jin sighed softly, "What else can I do otherwise? I've tried, but I've failed." Niece, you may be thinking, I'll try

I gave up once, maybe I didn't care that much about the casting of magic weapons in my heart. But I can tell you for sure that my passion for casting artifacts will always be there. It's just that the gentleman can't chase after me, and I actually accepted the bet, and I was willing to gamble and lose, and the people of my family still looked at me. The casting of the magic weapon failed, and it was time for our Mountain Eagle family to find another way. When he said this, he said it not only to others, but also to himself.

"Senior, I just think it's a pity, you obviously have so much enthusiasm for magic weapon casting, obviously the patriarch of the Mountain Eagle family is a magic weapon caster, but now, you are about to inherit the position of the patriarch, but you can't become a magic weapon caster, it's really a pity. ”

"Hey, I'm going to be the patriarch, and there's nothing I can't think about. Mingyang said: "If I can be the head of a clan, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams." ”

Lu Li smiled when he saw it, but his eyes were full of endless sadness, and his heart tightened, and he almost burst into tears. It's just that Lu Li kept smiling, "I've been chattering with my senior brother for a long time, and it's time to go back." We may not be able to attend your succession ceremony, please forgive me. ”

"It's okay, you're still young, learning comes first. When are you leaving? I'll send you off. ”

"No, we have a few acquaintances here, and after saying goodbye to everyone, we'll leave. You've got a lot to do, so don't worry about us. ”

Lu Li and Mingyang didn't know anyone either, so they planned to leave directly, but when the two of them walked to the entrance of the village, there was actually one person waiting for them.
