Volume 1 The First Entry into Huoshan Chapter 5 Huoshan City

Huoshan City in the early morning, looking from afar, is filled with a sense of vicissitudes, like an ancient demon god standing quietly, its area is so large that you can't see the edge, a city is a country. In the center of the city, a huge stone statue about hundreds of zhang high rises to the sky, and from a distance, the statue seems to depict a middle-aged man, which is obviously a statue, but it seems to be real and illusory, so that people can't see it really.

The statue is not like artificially carved, more like this land poured all the condensation, it is said that the person portrayed by the statue is named Huo Shan, is the Taoist ancestor of the ancient times, he broke through the barrier of the devil, and opened up a world of force, it is said that Huoshan City is the hometown of this Taoist ancestor, and the descendants named this city 'Huoshan City' in order to commemorate Huoshan Daozu.

Of course, these are just legends, for people to talk about after dinner, Yun Hao stood outside the city and looked at the statue of Huoshan Daozu, sighed lightly after a long time, and stepped into the city.

This step is like stepping into another world, different from the pure and elegant outside the city, the simplicity with a strong sense of the years of the sky comes to the face, it is worthy of the city that has existed since the endless years, the sense of history here makes people have a feeling of heaviness to depression, in general, it is a kind of awe, the awe of the years.

Yun Hao followed the route in his memory, walked towards the blacksmith shop, he had to pass through a medicine garden, walk through a shop area, pass by a spring breeze building, in order to reach the blacksmith shop, there are not many pedestrians on the road, most of them are some cultivation families in Huoshan City, most of them are asleep in the early morning, few monks get up early in the morning and are greedy for darkness, running around and tired, occasionally meet some monks, most of them are some people with very poor talents, with lowly cultivation, do some business or open a shop, to make a living.

After a certain distance, Yun Hao came to a huge attic, this attic has a total of nine floors about ten zhang high, layer by layer, if the pagoda shape, the carved beams and pillars on it, dazzling and shining, the distant view is magnificent and magnificent, shocking people's hearts. There are three ancient seals on it, 'Chunfeng Building' is framed with a golden frame, the font is majestic and atmospheric, the iron painting silver hook, the Chunfeng Building covers a huge area, a radius of hundreds of zhang are all within the scope of the Chunfeng Building, such a building can only be owned by the top forces in Huoshan City, it can be seen that the Chunfeng Building is by no means an ordinary place of wind and moon.

Yun Hao stopped and watched for a long time and said softly: "Sister is working here. He was a little worried about Yun Shang, as far as Yun Hao knew, Chunfeng Building was a place of wind and moon, and there were all kinds of people in it... After a long time, Yun Hao turned around and left, she was going to ask her sister about it at night.

After crossing two streets, Yun Hao came to a remote path, and at the end of his walk he saw a blacksmith shop, there were only two shops on the periphery of the blacksmith shop, and there seemed to be a courtyard behind it, which was supposed to be for people to rest and live. Outside the door was a very worn flag, on which a sword could be faintly seen. It was the first time Yun Hao had seen such a dilapidated shop in Huoshan City, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. But it's already here, so I'm lucky to go in and have a look.

Entering the store, a hot breath came to the face, the fire had risen in the store at this time, the huge stove was burned red, and the two strong men around were very busy, and when they saw Yun Hao coming, they looked up, did not speak, and were still busy.

There was an old man who was holding a dark iron sword in his hand at the moment and looked at it carefully, and when he saw Yun Hao coming, the old man glanced at it and said softly, "The little guy needs a weapon?"

Yun Hao groaned slightly: "Master, I'm here to work, do you still need someone here?"

The old man didn't speak, and the slightly younger strong man next to the stove chuckled, "Can you do this job with your thin body?"

Yun Hao saw that the old man was still looking at the black sword, so he could only follow the strong man's words and said, "Uncle, I have a lot of strength, I don't believe you." After saying that, Yun Hao came to a three-foot-square piece of iron not far away, wrapped his hands around it, and used his front feet to lift the iron block in an instant.

The strong man's eyes flashed with surprise, and he grinned and said, "Is the little guy good!"

Yun Hao's action of lifting the iron block seemed to alarm the old man, and he saw him gently put down the iron sword in his hand and said: "Strength doesn't mean anything, as long as you work hard, there will always be strength, but if you want to work here, you need to have lasting stamina, can you?"

Yun Hao said softly: "I can do it, you can try to let me do it for a while first, and then you will find that you have picked up the treasure." Seeing what the two strong men were doing, Yun Hao was very confident, although he only had the cultivation in the early stage of body refining, his strength was no worse than that of a mid-stage body refining cultivator.

The old man laughed, got up and walked to a huge bellows and said: "Is the little guy very confident, very good, you go and pull the bellows, if you can do it, I will give you three taels of silver every day for work." โ€

The two strong men showed a smile on their faces when they heard the sound, they didn't believe that he could work here, but seeing that Yun Hao was still young, it was just a joke, but when Yun Hao pulled the bellows in a decent way, the faces of the two changed dramatically, the bellows were not just a thousand catties, even if ordinary people could pull it apart, but they couldn't close it, and at this time, Yun Hao didn't have any difficulty between coming and closing, the two strong men looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, however, the huge flames in the furnace in front of them because the bellows were pulled, so that the two of them had to believe that after the shock, the two strong men were full of admiration, you must know that even the two of them have to be together to pull the bellowsใ€‚

Time passed breathlessly, the young man who pulled the bellows of thousands of catties seemed to be tired, the two strong men were already numb in surprise, but the old man did not react at all, still looked down at the iron sword in his hand, about three hours later, the old man told Yun Hao to stop, at this time he was already sweating profusely.

The old man asked softly, "How does the little one feel?"

Yun Hao raised his right hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said, "No problem, master, I can work here?"

The old man chuckled and said, "You have passed the test, it is not early today, you go back, come back tomorrow, you have these silver coins." The old man said and handed three taels of silver to Yun Hao.

Yun Hao hurriedly pushed the silver money away and said, "Master, I haven't officially worked here today, how can I get this money, master, please take it back, it's not too late to give it tomorrow." โ€

When the old man heard this, there was a look of appreciation on his face, and he took back the money and said, "Then you can go back." โ€

Yun Hao said goodbye to the old man and the two strong men, and left.

Let's say that Yunshang came to the Chunfeng Building, was taken to the backyard by a middle-aged woman, there are four girls of the same age waiting, under the leadership of the middle-aged woman, the five people came to a well water, and placed more than a dozen wooden basins in an orderly manner next to the well water, the basins are filled with all kinds of clothes, and from time to time there are small maids who send clothes that need to be cleaned.

The middle-aged woman dressed up in a fancy way, she took a few steps and said softly: "These clothes are your daily work, you must pay attention when washing, don't damage the clothes, otherwise you will be punished, you can call me Sister Hua in the future, you can find me if you have any questions." โ€

Yunshang and the other four girls bowed and answered, "Yes, Sister Hua." โ€

Sister Hua instructed again, twisted her plump waist and left, and Yunshang and the others also started a day's work.

Time passed day by day, Yunshang Yunhao sisters and brothers started a new life in this strange Huoshan City, Yunshang went to work in Chunfeng Building every day, Yunhao occasionally went to Wutang, and the rest of the time worked in the blacksmith shop, the master's surname was Chen, he asked Yunhao to start with pulling the bellows, according to Chen Lao, pulling the bellows can best exercise people, if the bellows can be pulled well, you have the qualifications to become a blacksmith.

Pulling the bellows is a very test of strength and endurance work, even if Yun Hao is born with divine power, he will feel tired after work every day, and it is the end of the month in a flash, this day Yun Hao pulls the bellows, the fire in the furnace screams under the encouragement of the bellows, the two strong men look at the thin body and their eyes are full of smiles, since Yun Hao came to the blacksmith shop, they have been liberated, and their hearts are full of gratitude to Yun Hao.

In addition to occasionally coming to guide the two strong men on some technical things, Chen Lao always likes to draw some strange patterns on weekdays, and there is only one master in the entire blacksmith shop, Chen Lao, and four apprentices, of course, among these four apprentices, Yun Hao, the senior brother who has never met is said to be in charge of the sale of weapons, Yun Hao has never seen this person since he came to the blacksmith shop for more than ten days.

At this moment, Yun Hao's thoughts had already flown out of the blacksmith shop and came to the martial hall, specifically a martial arts disciple, this martial arts disciple is named Dongfang Yin, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of body refining, and he is considered to have a small prestige in the martial hall. Dongfang Yin is arrogant, narrow-minded, and will be retribution, once Yun Hao chose the 'Dao Decision' exercise, Dongfang Yin was sarcastic about it. Yun Hao just reprimanded angrily, he instigated a group of rich disciples to make trouble for Yun Hao, the reason is that Yun Hao's background is too humble, an orphan who survived the demon tide, this is the state of life, the world is hot and cold.

Until last month's martial arts test, Yun Hao swept through the cultivation of new disciples, and his reputation became famous, which made Dongfang Yin's face disappear and he felt resentful.

After the small test, Dongfang Yin felt humiliated, regardless of his face, he shot at Yun Hao with the mid-stage cultivation of the refining body, and he was called a guide to the new disciples, but he failed to take down Yun Hao after more than a dozen moves, even though Yun Hao could only barely resist under Dongfang Yin's strong attack, on the other hand, this undoubtedly slapped Dongfang Yin hard. How could he endure his narrow-mindedness, the strength in his hand continued to increase, and when he wanted to reach Yun Hao's death, he was stopped by the martial arts commander and scolded Dongfang Yin.

With physical strength, Yun Hao thinks that he will not lose to Dongfang Yin, but the 'Dao Decision' he cultivates has no attributes, and there is no single move, which greatly limits the combat effectiveness, but it is said that Dongfang Yin has mastered a palm method called 'Flame Palm', which is fierce and invincible, which makes Yun Hao a little jealous, according to Dongfang Yin's personality, the small test at the end of the month will definitely come to find trouble.

He couldn't figure out why there were such bullies, could they only live by flattering and groveling?

Yun Hao's thoughts were melodious, but he didn't find that the bellows in his hand were getting lighter and lighter, and an invisible fluctuation was pervasive around him, it turned out that unconsciously, Yun Hao habitually practiced 'Dao Decision', this kind of drill surpassed any previous drill, and reached the ethereal realm of no desire, at the same time, not far away, Chen Lao, who was studying weapons, suddenly raised his head, and his cloudy eyes flashed, and if you look closely, you will find that the lever in Yun Hao's hand at this time is not bad between a time in and out, as if measuring time.

After a long time, Chen Lao got up and came to the strong man who was striking iron, and the two strong men were about to speak, Chen Lao waved his hand to stop the two, and said softly: "Go out and rest for the time being, leave it here to this kid." The two strong men were ordinary people, although they didn't understand why Chen Lao was like this, they still stopped what they were doing and walked towards the backyard.
