Chapter Seventy-Three: The Maiden Moon Shadow
After about half an hour, the people in the restaurant began to leave in twos and threes, including Zhang San, the target of Zhang Feiyang's attention.
After Zhang San came out, he and his friend walked a street, and the two separated.
Zhang Feiyang has been silently following the backstage and is not in a hurry to show up.
It wasn't until Zhang San passed by a well in the city, came to a narrow and uninhabited remote corner, and was about to turn into a small road to the west, that he suddenly jumped up, flew over Zhang San's head, blocked Zhang San's way, and talked straight to the point about inquiring about Moon Shadow's residence.
In the face of Zhang Feiyang's sudden appearance, this Zhang San obviously didn't have any self-knowledge, made a mistake that ordinary mortals would make, and regarded Zhang Feiyang as a martial arts master with good skills.
At this time, he was having the idea of breaking into the rivers and lakes, and he had just obtained the best weapon, the Kaishan Axe, so he naturally couldn't help but be eager to try, wanting to try the power, he glanced at Zhang Feiyang, looked disdainful of answering, took out the Kaishan Axe and rushed up excitedly, and slashed at Zhang Feiyang's head.
Zhang Feiyang gently stretched out an index finger to meet the attack, and the aura was channeled out, turning into a shield to protect the whole body.
In a muffled thud.
The sharp and heavy mountain axe collided with Zhang Feiyang's index finger.
A tremendous force spread, and a large cloud of smoke and dust rose behind both of them.
It's just that Zhang Feiyang is motionless and effortless.
Zhang San seemed to have slashed the axe firmly on the iron plate, and the tiger's mouth was faintly painful with a huge anti-shock force, blood flowed out, he took a big step back, gasped for breath twice, and a whole row of sweat beads the size of soybeans came out before he came to his senses.
If this scene were seen by other mortals, they would definitely be stunned and speechless.
Because, this Zhang San is full of confidence and wants to break into the rivers and lakes, he is actually capital, he is burly and strong, like a bear, but Zhang Feiyang opposite him is short, thin, and inconspicuous.
turned out to be short and inconspicuous, and easily overpowered Zhang Sanyi, who was on the back of a tiger, with a crushing attitude.
I'm afraid anyone will be unbelievable.
However, Zhang San was obviously not as knowledgeable as ordinary mortals, and when he saw this scene, he first looked at the Kaishan axe in disbelief, saw that there was no gap on it, and then looked at Zhang Feiyang's face.
It's a pity that Zhang Feiyang is wearing a headband, and his whole face is hidden in the dark, and he can't see the specific appearance clearly.
Zhang San had no choice but to look at Zhang Feiyang's finger again, only to see that the finger was ordinary, no different from the index finger of an ordinary mortal, and even looked a little faintly whitish, as if it was not nutritious.
Zhang Sandeng's face changed greatly, he put away the mountain axe, slammed the ground, and fell to the ground, his huge body trembled slightly because of fear, and begged for mercy one after another: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai." I don't know that adults are immortal cultivators. It was just no offense. I beg you to spare your life. ”
"Can you swear not to tell anyone about what you've seen me?" Zhang Feiyang's voice sank, staring at Zhang San coldly, and asked.
He didn't want to reveal his identity.
Because, there must be a heavenly remnant eyeliner here, and if you don't reveal your identity, you can at least stay longer.
I didn't expect this Zhang San to be really a violent temper, and he suddenly exposed his identity as an immortal cultivator, after all, only immortal cultivators in the late stage of the Qi refining period can be invulnerable, which is also one of the criteria for mortals to distinguish whether they are immortal cultivators or not.
In order to continue to cover up his identity, Zhang Feiyang naturally could only try to threaten Zhang San.
Thinking of this, he didn't wait for Zhang San to reply, but aggravated his tone again, and quickly added: "Zhang San." I know you. Also know where you live. If I let me know that you've revealed what you've seen me, I don't know what I'll do. Can you keep it a secret for me?"
Zhang San is a mortal, although he is a little arrogant, but his arrogance is only aimed at mortals, in the face of an immortal cultivator, he still does not dare to have any thoughts of yang and yin.
Because, he knows what this means, and if he dares to deceive or tease an immortal cultivator, he will be tired of life and will die.
Zhang San shook his head like a rattle, he didn't even dare to say it, and in order to save his life, he swore a poisonous oath in front of Zhang Feiyang.
Zhang Feiyang was a little relieved at this time, and began to ask him about Moon Shadow directly.
With this series of foreshadowing, the conversation between the two has become much smoother.
Zhang Sanzhi said everything, and he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest.
Zhang Feiyang also got a more satisfactory answer, took out a spirit stone from his arms, threw it to Zhang San as a reward, and then, connected the dots under his feet, turned into a gust of wind, and disappeared in front of Zhang San in a blink of an eye.
Many years later, Zhang San still couldn't get out of this small city and go out.
Since he met Zhang Feiyang, he has completely seen the dangers of the rivers and lakes outside, and honestly opened a small shop in the city with Brother Wang and started some small business.
Through the spirit stone sent by Zhang Feiyang, Zhang San became the richest mortal in the city, and his business became bigger and bigger, and finally he became the chairman of the largest commercial house in the whole city, and Brother Wang really became a legend, but the achievement was in business.
As for how the spirit stone came from, how did Zhang San, who had never had a family background, suddenly have a spirit stone that was more precious than gold and silver, this secret, Zhang San did not reveal until he died.
He has always firmly adhered to the agreement with Zhang Feiyang.
After Zhang Feiyang and Zhang San separated, they went all the way to the north of the city, passing through two markets and a slum, before finally finding a thatched house in a remote corner of a clearing lot.
There are open spaces within a radius of more than ten zhang here, even there are few trees, and there are even fewer people, and there are few people coming all day on weekdays, and the surroundings are quiet, only the small thatched hut in front of Zhang Feiyang will come from some sound of striking iron.
Sure enough, this is what he learned from Zhang San.
According to Zhang San, Moon Shadow has been striking iron for a living for generations, creating all kinds of metal products that are unparalleled in the world, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, which is the most famous in Xicheng.
Originally, the Yue family's business was quite prosperous, and it was the most profitable business.
Because, the city is surrounded by bandits, and there are many forces of various martial arts sects, at that time, this was a place where soldiers must fight, and a large number of guests would come to the door almost every day, so that the Yue family made a lot of money.
It's a pity that since more than ten years ago, the Yue family's business has experienced a serious decline.
The reason is that a sect of immortal cultivation called Heavenly Remnant View destroyed the sect of immortal cultivation to which Xicheng originally belonged.
At the same time, the Heavenly Remnant Temple also wiped out the rest of the mortal forces around the city.
In this way, the entire rare city has become the safest city in the entire Wu Kingdom, although the scale is not large, but it has also caused the Yue family, who have made a living by making weapons and various metal products for many years, suffered huge losses.
In Moonshadow's generation, there is only this one store left, and in order to make a living, he has to open in this city near the slums, where birds don't.
Who makes the rent cheapest here?
At this time, the sound of striking iron in the house was still crisp, clanging, and more regular.
Zhang Feiyang glanced back and made sure that no one else was left nearby, so he walked up generously.
The door was not locked.
Zhang Feiyang pushed open the door of the house and slowly entered, a burning red long sword was emitting white smoke on the iron ingot, and a young girl with a slender figure like a flower and jade was skillfully beating the heavy hammer in her hand, concentrating on her work.
With each drop of her hammer, the shape of the sword straightened out, perfecting more and more as the sparks scattered around.
This girl is fourteen or fifteen years old, her long hair is coiled high, her face is flushed with tiredness, and her forehead is full of beads of sweat the size of soybeans, but she still has no intention of stopping, obviously, this sword is very important to her.
As long as he glanced at the girl's simple dress, Zhang Feiyang understood, it seems that this girl's life is already quite hard, maybe after this sword is successfully built, she can earn several days of food expenses.
Thinking of this, Zhang Feiyang thought of his more than ten years of hard wandering life, and couldn't help but feel empathy for the girl's situation, quietly took out a spirit stone from his arms, put it on the table, sat down slowly, and quietly waited for the girl's completion.
After a while, the girl raised the hammer high and slammed it one last time, and then skillfully put the long sword into the water to cool down, and then, after installing the hilt and scabbard, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand slightly, wiped away the sweat on her head, and smiled and carefully put the finished three-foot sword in a wooden box, ready to be served on the table and put it away.
But seeing that a stranger was already sitting at the table, or came in silently, and he didn't even notice it, the girl was stunned for a moment, and her beautiful eyes were full of shock.
Her hand loosened in astonishment, and the box containing the sword fell to the ground, scattering the lid, the sword, and the scabbard all over the floor.
However, the girl's gaffe did not last long, only a moment later, as if suddenly realized something, she squatted down, picked up the sword that had been opened, and protected it in front of her, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Zhang Feiyang, her beautiful eyes glared, her face was cold, and she said with hostility: "Get out! No matter how poor I am, I can't live anymore, and I won't marry." You are not welcome here. ”
This time, it was Zhang Feiyang's turn to be stunned.
Looking at the girl's skillful iron-striking action just now, she knew that she was the moon shadow in Zhang San's mouth.
But the girl let herself get out for no reason, and said that she would marry someone or not, Zhang Feiyang was a little dazed when she heard it.
Because, Zhang Sanke didn't tell him about these things at all.
However, thinking of the girl's simple dress and somewhat dirty face, Zhang Feiyang instantly guessed seven seven or eight based on his years of wandering experience.
I'm afraid that it must be some son in the city who knows about the fall of Moon Shadow and covets her beauty, so I want to take her back as a concubine in the name of helping her.
And Moon Shadow is probably a woman who is full of respect for her ancestors, but she is not the kind of dusty woman who has milk and is a mother, so she will naturally be quite repulsed by this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Zhang Feiyang smiled slightly, took out a cloth bag from his arms and put it on the table, slowly untied it in front of the girl, and obviously took out the broken arm inside, and explained: "You are the Moon Shadow, right? I heard that you can make the person with the broken hand take his hand back again." I'm here for you. Please don't get me wrong. This spirit stone is my honorarium for you. I hope you can help me pick it up. ”
Zhang Feiyang then raised his severed arm, removed the prosthetic leg, and showed the wound to Moon Shadow to see.
Seeing Zhang Feiyang's wound, as well as the broken arm on the table, and the spirit stone that was priceless enough to enrich the armor, the girl put the sword back into the scabbard and carefully returned to the wooden box, and then, she sighed depressedly, held the spirit stone in her hand and played with it, and reluctantly put it back, and said an answer that made Zhang Feiyang feel bad.
"I'm sorry. Guest. It's that I'm too sensitive. I thought you were also a lobbyist for Sun Gongzi. It was the little woman who was rude just now. But you better go back. I can't take your hand. The rumors you hear are wrong. It was actually my father who took over to someone else. He died two years ago. ”
