Chapter 68: Self-reliance

......

"Don't dare. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ou Chuyang snorted and diverted the topic, "I'll go clean up and come back tomorrow to buy some daily necessities." ”

"I'll clean it up, you can just sweep the yard. Mu Wanqing said as she went into the house to clean up.

As soon as Ou Chuyang picked up the broom, several young people walked in at the door.

"I heard that a young swordsmith came here today, is that you?" said one of the women in a red dress to Ou Chuyang.

Ou Chuyang glanced back at a red dress, and was stunned for a moment.

"Great! I finally have a younger brother. Being shouted by his uncle and uncle all day long, as if he was seventy or eighty bearded. Mei Aoxue stretched out her hand and pinched Ou Chuyang's face, "The skin is quite tender, it's fun!"

In an instant, Ou Chuyang seemed to have returned to the day he first saw his senior sister.

"Hey, Miss Chen asked you, why are you so rude. Several star-studded young men around the woman in the red dress shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Where did the soil buns come from, my eyes are straight, I'm afraid I've never seen such a beautiful beauty as the eldest lady. ”

"I've seen the eldest lady, in Xia Mei Aochu, it is the new swordsmith. Ou Chuyang came back to his senses. Although this woman is also quite beautiful, her face is not like Mei Aoxue at all, but a glimpse of a red dress in a trance gave him an illusion.

"I'm new and don't know the rules, so I'll spare you this time. Miss Chen said proudly: "In the future, you are not allowed to stare at me without my permission." ”

Ou Chuyang couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with these people, so he said: "I know, if there is nothing else, please go back, and you have to clean the yard below." ”

"Yo! I even ordered the eldest lady to be evicted. Several young people shouted, "Do you think this sword casting hall is opened by your family?"

"Isn't this some country place, and a swordsmith is amazing?"

"Huh. Miss Chen smiled lightly, "Do you think that pretending to be indifferent can impress me? Unfortunately, your eyes have betrayed your heart." ”

Ou Chuyang was even more speechless, he really couldn't communicate with this group of funny young people who lived in his own world all day long, and said patiently: "I don't think I have anything great, and I don't want to impress you, I just want to clean up early and let my lady rest early." ”

"No wonder it's so spirited, it turns out that I have a family. Miss Chen said reluctantly: "I want to see how much your lady looks like a Peugeot, so that you can make your eyes above the top of the eye." ”

Several other people also coaxed, "Yes, yes, yes, invite your lady out so that everyone can see and understand." As long as we can have half of the beauty of the eldest lady, even if we lose, we will give you a drink at night to apologize. ”

When encountering this kind of person, it doesn't make sense, and he can't fight, Ou Chuyang bowed his head helplessly and said, "It's a loss...... My lady is mediocre in appearance, and she can't be compared with the eldest lady ......at all."

Before Ou Chuyang finished speaking, Mu Wanqing came and smiled lightly, "Xianggong, are there guests at home?"

Several young people around Miss Chen all opened their mouths wide and their eyes were bulging, as if they had turned into a group of toads looking up at the swans. And her own face was redder than a red dress.

Ou Chuyang looked at the few people who had lost their souls and retreated in a hurry, and shook his head with a wry smile, women......

Mu Wanqing caught Ou Chuyang's expression and asked, "Are you blaming me for showing up to provoke right and wrong?"

Ou Chuyang replied, "It was a little bit just now, but now it's completely gone." ”

"Oh?" Mu Wanqing then asked, "Did you think of something?"

"I'm thinking, what are the people of my generation who learn swords for?" Ou Chuyang asked and replied to himself: "It's not for the end of the sword world, happy enmity, unrestrained, and free. If you are afraid of this, you are afraid of that, then what kind of sword do you practice? Therefore, you don't have to worry too much, and your mind is the first. ”

Mu Wanqing felt something in her heart and was silent.

"Qiang!" Ou Chuyang drew his sword in his hand and pointed straight into the sky, "The sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, the body is sharp, the middle is upright, and the supreme is noble." Those who practice swords should also be upright, move forward bravely, let him be difficult and dangerous, and I will cut it away with a sword!"

"Well said!" Mu Wanqing also drew her sword in her hand, and chanted while dancing: "Dance and whisk the long sword, all four raise their eyebrows, get drunk and take off their swords, and sleep in the high hall." Fu Jian roared at night, ambition was thousands of miles away, the crown sword was towards Fengque, and the building boat served the dragon pool. ”

Ou Chuyang's heart moved, as if he had an understanding, he also waved his long sword and danced with Mu Wanqing. In the small courtyard, the figures are fluttering, the clothes are hunting, the sword light is vertical and horizontal, the rigidity and softness are combined, the dust is unconventional, and it is impossible to square things.

The two of them were full of self-forgetfulness, and at the same time they were intoxicated with a mysterious artistic conception, as if they had touched a trace of rhyme. The swords in the hands of the two danced faster and faster, and the more they felt happy in their hearts, as if they had been dancing the swords endlessly, and they would eventually reach the other side of the avenue.

......

The next day, Ou Chuyang went to see Master Chen and listened to his arrangements for sword casting.

Master Chen said lightly: "What you learned before is not the same as my sword-forging method. So you need to refine the wood for three years and then forge it for three years before you can start forging the sword. ”

"Huh. Ou Chuyang turned around and left.

Three years and three years, that's still yarn. This surnamed Chen made it clear that he couldn't tolerate him, and he couldn't save Di Zhenjie's face, so he pulled out the guise of "different ways" to send Ou Chuyang.

......

"Enlightened Childe. The henchman's subordinates reported: "Mei Aochu left the Sword Casting Hall the next day, rented a mansion, set up his own portal, and named it 'Mei Xintang'. ”

"As expected. Di Zhenjie smiled lightly, "Master Chen is stubborn and self-serving, and can't tolerate people, for fear that Mei Aochu will succeed in his studies and then replace him; Mei Aochu is only high-minded and unwilling to be subservient to others; the two can promote each other more when they compete, which is a good thing." ”

"The skill of the child's subordinates is really clever, and his subordinates admire him. The henchman asked, "Then shall we just let it go and wait and see what happens?"

"Nope. Di Zhenjie waved his hand and said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, Mei Aochu has just started, and she needs to help." You come to visit him, and he needs the funds and sword materials, try to meet them. ”

"Yes, the subordinates will do it immediately. ”

......

Renting shops, hiring helpers, purchasing tools, and after some tossing, the tens of thousands of crystals that Ou Chuyang got from killing the scar-faced man in Pantai Ridge have been consumed. The start-up capital and sword-casting materials sent by Di Zhenjie were just a relief in the snow, which solved his urgent need.

Before forging the sword, Ou Chuyang first built a simple generator driven by human power, and asked eight helpers to step on eight "bicycles" without wheels to provide power output, and implement his method of producing oxygen from electrolysis of water to fuel combustion.

"Snort-" Ou Chuyang inserted the red-hot sword blank in his hand directly into the thick ice block, emitting a large cloud of water vapor. Without the cold spring of Mei Qixin's Sword Pavilion, Ou Chuyang took local materials and used huge ice cubes as quenching agents, although the effect was worse, but it was good enough for a superb craftsman with stainless steel and wrought iron as the main material.

Without Mei Aoxue's assistance, Ou Chuyang could not cast the treasure alone, so he could only retreat to the second best thing and strive to cast the best quality craftsman.

Although the value of the masterpiece is several times worse than that of the good treasure, it is the most produced and widely used mass product. After all, there are very few swordsmen who can afford to use treasure weapons, and most people's lifelong pursuit is to get a superb craftsman.
