Chapter 251: The Reunion of the Old Man (1)
......
Ou Chuyang nodded helplessly and walked out the door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He is just getting started now, so he doesn't need to be too anxious, and it's not too late to learn chess games after he has learned the basics.
Out of the door, Ou Chuyang was ready to return to Heibaixuan.
Gongsun Yan grabbed him, "It's hard to go down the mountain, how can you just go back." Let's take a walk and have a drink with me first. ā
To learn this file, we also pay attention to a combination of work and rest, and there is a degree of relaxation. And the two came out together, Ou Chuyang really didn't want to leave Gongsun Yan and go back alone. I followed him into a restaurant across the street.
This restaurant is different from everything Ou Chuyang has ever used before. There is only one floor in total, and it is not like other restaurants, the sword master drinks above the second floor, and the first floor is reserved for ordinary people such as some miscellaneous servants.
This restaurant has only one floor in total, and there are no private rooms. But Ou Chuyang glanced over and found that the guests present, everyone with swords, turned out to be all swordsmen.
Although this town is small, I'm afraid it's not simple.
Ou Chuyang and Gongsun Yan were drinking wine and gossiping, feeling that they had not been so relaxed for a long time.
"It's still early, let's take a walk around the town and see if there's anything new. Gongsun Yan blushed and seemed to be in high spirits.
Ou Chuyang did not object. Coming to a new place, he also wanted to get to the bottom of it.
The two walked along the cobblestone streets. There are not many people in the town, it is extraordinarily peaceful, the surrounding scenery is majestic and beautiful, and the environment is really not to be said. In today's parlance, it is the most suitable place for human habitation.
The altitude here is definitely not less than five thousand meters, but Ou Chuyang has been here for more than ten days, and he has not felt any altitude sickness, which is quite strange.
When I walked to an intersection, I faintly heard the sound of "clanging" metal knocking.
"Someone is forging a sword?" Ou Chuyang became interested, turned right and walked towards the lake.
After walking dozens of steps, I saw a sign hanging on a shop by the lake, "Hongjia Sword Shop".
The sound of forging swords and striking iron came from this Hong family's sword shop.
Ou Chuyang stepped into the store.
A young man with a slightly pale face in a pale golden brocade robe greeted him, "In Xia Hongle, do you two want to buy a sword?"
Ou Chuyang replied: "Passing by here, I heard the sound of forging a sword, so I followed the sound, I don't know if I can take a look?"
Hong Le hesitated and said: "The method of forging a sword is an extremely secret thing, I'm afraid this is not very convenient......"
What is there to hide in forging a sword? Ou Chuyang was secretly amused, could it be that the method of forging a sword can be learned by just looking at it twice? It's just funny.
Hong Le saw a smile on Ou Chuyang's face, and he didn't like it in his heart, so he turned around and said, "If you two want any sword, feel free to take a look." The sword forged by our Hong family sword shop is in excellent condition, and the price is very fair. ā
Ou Chuyang picked up a treasure weapon casually, flicked his fingers, and the sound of "ding" was crisp, which was not bad.
Hong Le introduced: "This sword is made of moire steel and cold iron, the sword is three feet one inch long, weighs four catties and thirteen taels, is a treasure, the price is only 30,000. ā
Thirty thousand? Ou Chuyang was slightly startled. The public price of a treasure is basically around 50,000 yuan, and this Hong family sword shop only sells for 30,000 yuan, which is indeed very cheap. It's just that if you sell it at this price, you shouldn't make any money, what is the reason?
Gongsun Yan walked around the store, shook his head and said: "The price is very cheap, and the quality is good, but it's a pity that the highest grade only has superb treasures, and there is nothing worth buying." ā
When Hong Le heard Gongsun Yan's words, his face turned dark, but when he saw that he looked like a son of a family, his tone was not small, and he didn't want to offend him easily, so he couldn't help but keep quiet.
"Since you can't see the method of forging a sword, and there is nothing to buy a sword, let's go. Ou Chuyang turned around and went out after speaking.
Hong Le turned behind the counter by himself, and did not send off customers.
Walking out of the Hong family's sword shop, Ou Chuyang caught a glimpse of a familiar figure that seemed to flash in a blacksmith shop opposite, and he was suspicious, so he walked in.
Compared with the Hong family's sword shop opposite, this blacksmith shop looks messy and dilapidated, and lifeless. There were three or two long swords on the shelf outside, and some iron pots, kitchen knives, hoes and other miscellaneous items were piled up next to them.
It seems that this blacksmith shop is not only making iron and swords, but also making some domestic iron, tools, and so on. It seems that the business of this shop is bleak, and it can only make some low-grade ironware to make up for it.
Ou Chuyang raised his hand to take out a long sword, and with the same flick of his fingers, there was a crisp sound of "ding". This treasure is about the same quality as the sword of the Hong family sword shop opposite, I don't know if the price will be cheaper?
As far as the appearance of the two shops is concerned, if this blacksmith shop wants to compete with the Hong family's sword shop, then when the quality of the swords is very close, there will only be a price war. However, the Hong family sword store has already pressed the price to 30,000, and if there is a price war, I am afraid that it will not be interesting, and if it is not good, it will lose money.
Hearing the sound of Ou Chuyang throwing out the sword, a person came out of the back room of the blacksmith shop. This man is forty or fifty years old, his sideburns are slightly white, and his body exudes a strong smell of fireworks, which is the unique smell of swordsmiths.
When Ou Chuyang saw this person, he was shocked, and exclaimed in disbelief: "Master Duan!"
He never expected that under the snowy peaks in this extreme west, he would be able to see Master Duan. Master Duan took him as an apprentice in the blacksmith shop at the foot of Yundu Mountain, and pointed out a bright road for him to settle down.
Without Master Duan's guidance, Ou Chuyang's life trajectory might have been a different story. Ou Chuyang can have today, and Master Duan is his guide.
"Chu Yang, it's you!" Master Duan recognized Ou Chuyang and was also pleasantly surprised. A long drought and nectar, and meeting old acquaintances in other places is really a blessing in life.
"Sit down, sit down, I'll make a pot of tea. Master Duan said and walked to the back room.
"No hassle. Ou Chuyang hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Master Duan, how did you get here?"
"It's a long story. Master Duan recalled: "When you killed Chen Shihua, you went away and flew away. The Yundu Sword sent me to look for trouble, but I couldn't stop it, I couldn't save the Xu family's father and daughter, and I was forced to leave the country...... After that, I traveled all the way west to find a quiet place to settle down, and I arrived at this chessboard town. It's a remote place, it's very quiet, and I love it. ā
"But this ......" The blacksmith shop where Ou Chuyang is now is in a dilapidated scene, and it can't even catch up with the first star of Duan's blacksmith shop.
"What's going on?" Ou Chuyang couldn't help but ask.
