Chapter 2: The Light of the Black Snow
"Hey, silly boy, look at it!" After speaking, Blacksmith Zhang actually rose into the air, and a trick of mercury had already been played.
It was as if the sword was alive, and the black light, in the night that was about to darken, suddenly emitted a formidable light, and the earth, which was gradually covered with snow, suddenly appeared a five-foot-deep crack.
"Huh?" Xiao Han exclaimed again: I didn't expect this sword to be so radiant and powerful!
Looking at Blacksmith Zhang again, he was out of breath and out of breath, as if nothing had happened.
"Silly boy, do you see clearly?" Blacksmith Zhang's voice smashed above his head.
"See clearly, it's too powerful, it's you, what kind of name is your trick called? It's amazing!" Xiao Han said with sincere admiration.
"Hmph, my trick is called mercury pouring into the ground, and if you hit him the Jade Emperor, or Hell Yama, you have to kneel for Lao Tzu!" When he said this, Blacksmith Zhang's voice seemed to have really come out of hell.
The chill penetrated into Xiao Han's heart, as if this move was already an elf between heaven and earth, and his heart was suddenly snatched.
"Okay, boy, go and practice when you see it clearly, don't practice here, you have to practice by the Qinghe River outside the town, and practice until the river splashes away, and then you are allowed to come back to me!" After speaking, Blacksmith Zhang didn't look at him, and went to sleep.
Xiao Han had to go to the river, and at this time, the river had begun to freeze, the snow came again, and the wind blew across his face like a knife.
He pulled out his sword, meditated on the movements of the blacksmith, and really jumped his body, the whole person was already in the air, and then he easily knocked out the mercury, and sure enough, a shallow mark was drawn on the surface of the river.
He shook his head, then thought about Blacksmith Zhang's actions just now, and then thought about Fang Cai's movements, pondered for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and then shouted: "I understand!"
So, he lifted his breath and concentrated his spirit and strength on the sword, and sure enough, the sword suddenly appeared, a black light, and in the dark night, it was like a star in the sky, which would be lit up.
This time, his sword light not only cut through the ice on the water, but also brought the water out, forming a network of water, and even the fish ran out and landed on the ice.
Xiao Han was happy, and quickly picked up the fish, thinking: Tomorrow, Aunt Hua can eat it, Yu'er, you can also eat it, and Uncle Han can also eat it!
He did not stop practicing the sword, on the contrary, he continued to reminisce about Blacksmith Zhang's movements, and thought about his movements, and finally, let him find the difference, and he kept practicing.
It wasn't until he reappeared that he took his sword and went back to the blacksmith's shop, his face filled with joy that anyone could see, as if he had picked up the most precious treasure in the world.
Blacksmith Zhang saw him and was about to speak, but he quickly lowered his head: "Master, the apprentice will make you tea immediately!"
As he spoke, he took out the teacup, made him a cup of thick oolong, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said, "Please drink tea, Master!"
How do you know that Blacksmith Zhang immediately helped him up, his face was more respectful, and said: "Don't dare to be, silly boy, we don't deserve it, you are not my apprentice, I am not your master, hehe, I am still Blacksmith Zhang, you are still Xiaohan, that's all!"
When he still wanted to speak, Xiao Han had already automatically gone to stand on the stake, as if the snowflakes were the best foil, and the snow fell on top of his head, and his body slowly surrounded him.
Xiao Han still didn't feel it, his heart was already connected with the snowflakes in the sky, as if they were his best footnotes!
After he had stood for two hours, the snow on his body flew away, and he quickly moved his hands and feet a few times before he began to pull the bellows, and the blacksmith's hammer began to smash down.
With a sound of "dang", the hammer smashed into the iron, and the sparks splashed out, and the little sparks, like rays of light, gradually lit up Xiao Han's eyes.
Mercury can be played like this!
Xiao Han's eyes flew up with the spark, and the sword, which seemed to be alive again, flashed out again, attracting Xiao Han's heart.
Blacksmith Zhang also exclaimed, and then he was overjoyed, shook his head, and continued to beat his iron, but the movements of Xiao Han's hand never stopped, still pulling the bellows one by one, as if the light of the sword was flowing over and over again in his hand.
At noon, this morning, Blacksmith Zhang took two kitchen knives and a hoe, collected the money with a smile, and gave Xiaohan ten coppers, saying that five were his, five to buy wine, and come back before dark.
Xiao Han smiled, took his sword, and went to the town.
There weren't many novelties in the town, only the occasional out-of-town visitor to the restaurant, but he was not in the mood, but he saw that there was a grocery seller next to him, so he spent two coppers to buy a red-headed rope for Yu'er.
He went to Qinghe again, the spark just now was still burning, he felt that the mercury was just the beginning, and below, he didn't want to just look at Blacksmith Zhang.
He shot the mercury again, looked at the sun, and listened to the cold wind in the snow, and suddenly, he flew up five feet, and with a wave of his hand, he made a move that he did not know either, only to see a tree next to him fall.
"Good swordsmanship!" a voice sounded behind him.
He hurriedly turned around, only to see a sturdy man, smiling at him, he quickly smiled, learning the language of the story he heard: "Let Your Excellency see and laugh, Xiao Ke is very clumsy, please ask the eldest brother to respect the name!"
The man laughed: "Little brother, we are Turks, called Tie Ying, if you want, you can call me Tie Da Brother!"
"Brother Tie!" Xiao Han hurriedly greeted him.
"Okay, little brother, what's your name?I think your swordsmanship is quite powerful, what kind of swordsmanship?" Tie Ying's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at Xiao Han.
"Brother Tie, my name is Xiao Han, others call me Xiao Han, as for the swordsmanship, I don't know, it was taught by my blacksmith master, he said that trick is called mercury pouring ground!" Xiao Han said honestly.
"Ah, mercury pouring out of the ground?, could it be him?" Iron Eagle's eyes were like eagles again, and in an instant, they softened again.
"Brother Tie, is there anything wrong?" Xiao Han asked puzzled.
"Ah, it's nothing, but what is that move behind you, it doesn't seem to be the Water Breaking Sword Technique!" Iron Eagle said.
"Ah, the Water Breaking Sword Technique? I haven't heard of it, I made that move by myself, hehe, I don't know if it's right!"
"What a powerful move, the little brother is really a martial arts wizard, the eldest brother has served you, okay, brother, are you interested in playing a few tricks with me?" Tie Ying wanted to weigh his catties.
"Okay, big brother, be careful, my tricks are very powerful, don't hurt you!" Xiao Han said.
"Hehe, brother is really kind-hearted, come on, big brother will pick you up with an eagle knife for a few moves!" After speaking, he pulled out the knife on his back.
Sure enough, a knife like an eagle, straight and oblique, a knife as sharp as an eagle's eye!
"Big brother, let's say it, I only have two moves, and I can't pull it down, because I will only do these two moves!" Xiao Han said honestly.
"Okay, brother, come on, brother will take you two moves, go all out, brother!" Tie Ying's figure is like a mountain, steady!
"You're welcome, brother!" After speaking, Xiao Han struck like a tide of mercury.
Tie Ying's face changed, it turned out that he didn't take it for granted, but when this move came, he found that he had no way to retreat, Xiao Han had sealed all his retreats, so he had to strike the sky with one move and face the black sword.
With a sound of "dang", the eagle knife was broken, one knife was two, and with only one move, the iron eagle lost!
"Okay, good sword, good swordsmanship, admire, admire, brother, be an elder brother and admit defeat, brother, you are too powerful!" Tie Ying really deserved to be a foreign man, and immediately admitted defeat.
"Ah, I won?" Xiao Han's face was full of surprise: Why?
He knew that Brother Tie's sword technique could catch the mercury pouring on the ground, but this black sword was so powerful that its edge completely drove away his imagination, and his face was suddenly full of joy and satisfaction!
"Good sword, this sword of my brother must be a peerless sword, I don't know what it is called? Who created it?" Tie Ying's words rang in his ears again.
"Ah, I don't know what this sword is called, if I can, I want to call it Black Snow, the snow in the night, her light will always shine in my heart, like the snow outside the plug, endless!" Xiao Han said fascinatedly, as if he had seen the light of the snowy night.
"Good name, then, who called it?" Iron Eagle asked again.
"My master, Blacksmith Zhang, the famous Blacksmith Zhang in Sanhe Town!" Xiao Han said proudly.
"Ah, it's him, brother, why don't we compete here every day?" Iron Eagle's eyes flickered.
"Okay, I'm just afraid that the eldest brother thinks the younger brother's kung fu is low, and it will be humiliating!" Xiao Han said modestly.
"Hehe, the brother is not a thing at first glance, if the brother doesn't dislike it, let's worship as brothers with different surnames, how about it?" Tie Ying's eyes warmed.
"Okay, brother can't ask for it!" Xiao Han was very happy.
So, the two made incense and became brothers.
"Haha, little brother, let's talk about it, every day at this hour, let's compete here, see you or leave!"
"Yes, big brother, brother will definitely arrive on time, and earnestly learn the knife technique of the ** brother!" After speaking, he began to compare Tie Ying's knife technique.
Tie Ying's eyes have always been full of disbelief, and at this moment, his eyes flickered even more: Who is this kid? Why is he so powerful?
After chatting with Tie Ying for a while, Xiao Han took his leave, he had to go to the restaurant to buy wine for Blacksmith Zhang, and then went to Yu'er's house and gave Yu'er the red head rope before returning to the blacksmith shop.
He looked proud, and Blacksmith Zhang thought it was Yu'er's credit, so he didn't care, just a few words, and the two began to strike iron again.
It wasn't until dusk that Blacksmith Zhang taught him the second trick: Changhong Shocking!
Xiao Han was surprised to find that his move was very similar to the move he practiced, but it was more subtle than his own move, and he hurriedly went to the river to practice again.
What I thought in my heart was: mercury pouring into the ground, Changhong shocking the sky, and eagles striking the sky, how to connect them together?
His thoughts were like a frozen river, with fierce conquest in the cold, and finally, he figured it out, and then danced.
I saw that on the bank of the Qing River, the sword light was shining, and one after another rays of light kept slashing towards the sky, and the light was getting brighter and brighter, as if I wanted to compete with the stars that had just emerged in the sky!
It wasn't until dawn that Xiao Han returned to the blacksmith shop and began his cookie-cutter life again: making tea, standing on stakes, and pulling bellows!
