Ten miles outside the city, there was a blacksmith shop built up of a thatched hut.

There was only one blacksmith in the blacksmith shop, who was tall and strong, and honest and honest.

The blacksmith said that his surname was Guo, and others were willing to call him Master Guo.

Although Master Guo is just a blacksmith who strikes iron, he also has his own rules, every day the fire is born, the furnace is extinguished at sunset, only repaired but not built, and only repairs one piece of iron every day, and collects three cents, regardless of whether it is a scissors, kitchen knife, shovel hoe, or sword blade, only three wen.

Master Guo came from out of town, and no one knew him before.

At first, his business was very bad, and there was nothing left by the stove but his own hammer, and everyone else thought that he had set this rule in order to raise his own value.

Later, someone came to him with a broken shovel, Master Guo's hands and feet were nimble, and it was repaired after a few teas, and the shovel after the repair was intact, and Master Guo, who had excellent skills, became famous by word of mouth. I thought that he would change the rules after his business was good, after all, it was not enough to practice only one thing a day to even make a fire, and one piece of three cents, look at Master Guo's tall and tall horse, can he eat enough?

But Master Guo was stunned and did not move to this rule, and the ironware to be repaired by the stove was almost piled up.

The day before the Shangyuan Festival, Master Guo still followed the rules, and after repairing a hoe, he put out the fire and prepared to go back to the grass hut.

"You can really stand up to the iron. ”

Guo Datie heard the voice, and his black and red face, which had been roasted by the fire all day, immediately smiled.

"Master. ”

Outside the courtyard of this thatched house, standing was the ancestor of Wudang, Yao Jian.

And this master Guo, who is guarding ten miles away from Yunlai City, is naturally Guo striking iron.

Guo Datie hurriedly went to the house, moved a small table and two stools, rebuilt the fire, and another master boiled hot tea and brewed it.

"Why don't you ask me what I'm here for?"

Yao Jian watched his apprentice busy for a long time, except for a master, he didn't say a second sentence, he, who has always been disliked by the master and brother, couldn't help but speak first.

"The master naturally has a master's reason, and if I need to know, the master will naturally tell me. ”

Guo Datie smiled innocently, and handed the brewed hot tea to the master before it was quietly prepared.

"Hahaha,

You. ”

Yao Jian held back for a long time, but he couldn't cry or laugh for this honest apprentice for a while.

"Your uncles and uncles are very discerning in choosing apprentices, they are often known for rules, Shang Rong has a heart, Lu You is like a sharp sword, your little junior brother is even more amazing, he already has the realm of knowing his fate at a young age, if there is a chance in the future, he should be the most successful among several of you. ”

"Well, when the little junior brother first went up the mountain, I thought he was smart and did things more seriously, and he would definitely be able to make a difference. ”

Guo Datiele said happily.

"Your cultivation realm is the lowest among several people, and several of them often bully you, and the teacher is busy with alchemy, and he hasn't taught you any great skills, will you complain about the master." ”

The Changsheng Lian raised on Wudang Mountain has already bloomed, but the first person to pick lotus is not Zhang Mingjun, but Yao Jian.

"Why do the apprentices complain about the master? The brothers treat me very well, but I am too stupid to always be open-minded, and they are just anxious for me. ”

"You, you. ”

Yao Jian sighed, then took out a blooming lotus flower from his arms and handed it to his apprentice.

"You're just too kind-hearted. And you're not stupid, you're not unenlightened, being smart and being wise are two different things, what you have is wisdom. ”

"Master, what is this?"

Guo Datie took the lotus, the lotus was extremely good-looking, the petals were transparent and flawless, and the fragrance wafted into the nose and felt clear and wise.

"It's just a lotus, the master has practiced the pill in the mountains all his life, and he has saved some money and bought medicinal materials, there is nothing to leave for you, let me leave it to you as a thought. ”

"Oh. ”

Guo Datie responded, carefully put away the lotus flower and put it into his arms.

"Do you know why your uncle asked you to come to Sang Haiyun to the city?"

Yao Jian asked again.

"The disciple doesn't know, but since it is the uncle's explanation, the disciple comes, the uncle asks to wait, and the disciple waits. ”

"You can see your little brother?"

Yao Jian then asked.

"See, the little junior brother has entered Yunlai City and is with an extremely good-looking woman. ”

"That woman is the holy daughter of Rotten Keshan, and she also has a relationship with your junior brother. ”

Yao Jian informed the apprentice

The identity of a woman.

"If other disciples are allowed to come, they may not be able to bear it when they see the little junior disciple, and they may not be able to bear it when they see other things. The reason why you came to Yunlai City is because you are the most obedient among the few people. ”

"Yes, the disciple is obedient, and the uncle in charge asked the disciple to wait, and the disciple kept waiting, and he didn't speak when he saw the little junior brother. ”

"Good. Now you don't have to wait, tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, and in the evening, you will take this lotus flower to the city of Nayun. ”

"Why don't you ask me what I'm going to do?"

After a pause, Yao Jian asked again.

"The master told him to go, and the disciple went. ”

"Hahaha-"

Yao Jian laughed again, this disciple is really good.

"If you go and save people, you can save as much as you can, understand?"

"The disciple understood, went to save people. ”

"There's something else the master wants to tell you. ”

Yao Jian has always scolded his apprentice and rarely praised him, but this does not mean that Yao Jian does not like Guo Datie, on the contrary, Yao Jian is most satisfied with Guo Datie.

"Master, you say. ”

Guo Datie has always been well-behaved and honest, this is the case on the mountain, even when he goes down the mountain.

"You are my most satisfied disciple, the master didn't look away, you, very good, better than Chen Changming, Shang Rong, Lu You, better than your little junior brother, you are the best, you know." ”

Yao Jian said that he seemed to think of the Guo Datie who worked in the blacksmith shop at the bottom of the mountain, and he couldn't see a trace of confusion in his eyes, he only had what was in front of him in his eyes, this is the wisdom he has been looking for.

The tea in front of Yao Jian didn't move until it became cold.

Yes, it's just a wisp of lonely soul, how can you drink tea?

"The disciple knows that if the master is gone, the disciple must remember the master's teachings. ”

Looking at the empty courtyard in front of him, Guo Datie knelt on the ground and couldn't cry.

The fire in the grass hut was not extinguished all night, and the sound of hammers beating did not stop all night.

Early in the morning of the next day of the Shangyuan Festival, the nearby villagers came to see if they could still send their own work, and when they arrived in front of Master Guo's thatched hut, they saw that all the farm tools were neatly repaired and placed outside the courtyard, but the courtyard was empty at some point.
