Just after sunrise, I was woken up by Zhang Yi.

Walking outside, the old man was already waiting at the door with a cane.

The snow on the mountains reflected the light of the sun, and there were pure white eagles flying in the distance.

"What's that?" I asked Zhang Yi.

"Snow sculptures. ”

"We're all here, let's go. The old man said with his back to us on crutches.

Without much talk, we walked slowly behind the old man.

When the people of the village saw the old man, they would stop what they were doing and bow their heads, and the old man would smile at them.

After walking for a while, in a corner of this village, there was a stone house larger than the house in the village, the gate was locked, but the sound of iron striking inside was particularly loud.

"This is it. The old man turned back to us, then turned and knocked on the door.

The sound of striking iron inside was gone, followed by the sound of iron striking the ground, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and the door was opened.

"Yi Zhen. The old man gestured to the man.

"Uncle Yi Zhen. Zhang Yi also bowed his head in respect.

The man looked like an old man, but he was much stronger, and he wore iron shoes on his feet, and he carried an iron-beating sledgehammer on his shoulder, which was also entwined with a golden dragon.

"It's you, boy. "That Uncle Yi Zhen saw that it was Zhang Yi, and hurriedly beckoned us into the house.

"Go in, I'll go first. Zhang Yi's uncle turned around and took two steps, then disappeared into thin air.

We followed Uncle Yi Zhen into the house. The room was spacious, the bed was also covered with snow, and the back room was filled with fire, probably the room where the iron was cast.

"I wonder how Uncle Yi Zhen is doing?" asked Zhang Yi as soon as he sat down.

"It's okay, but you can also see that this world is getting worse day by day, cough cough...... My body is also getting worse day by day. Uncle Yi Zhen coughed twice, "I know the origin of your two friends, a descendant of Tianzun and a descendant of Lingzun, you fight against the ghost world together, and there must be salvation in the world." ”

"Uncle Yi Zhen, I came today to ask for something......

"Crafting weapons, right?" Uncle Yi Zhen interrupted Zhang Yi's words, "Say, what kind of weapons do you want, while my body is still good, I can help you some." ”

"Liu Xi, I've always wanted to take you to a place before, but I can't remember where I'm going to take you, and the trip has been delayed by the ghost soldiers, but now that I've experienced this, I also remember that what I'm going to take you here is to build a weapon for you. What kind of weapon do you want?"

"I ......" was suddenly asked, and I didn't know how to answer for a while.

"So, I've got some well-built common weapons here, you can look at them and try them out, and see what works for them. Uncle Yi Zhen stood up, picked up a sledgehammer and led us into the back room.

As soon as I entered the inner room, a wave of heat came to my face, and there was still unwrought iron on the stone table, and the molten iron in the bucket next to it was still glowing red, and flames came out from time to time.

Uncle Yi Zhen walked to one wall and pressed a mechanism on the wall, and the wall turned over to the other side, and a wall of weapons appeared, with swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

"These are just models, you can take them and try them out and see what goes well. Uncle Yi Zhen turned around and walked back to the iron-striking table, picked up the sledgehammer and continued to strike iron.

I looked at the row of weapons, didn't know which one to choose, and stood in front of me in a daze.

"What's the ink?" Zhang Yi saw that I didn't move, so he picked up the halberd beside him and threw it over.

"Ah......" I didn't have time to react, I almost didn't catch the halberd, I pretended to gesture twice, "I don't need this halberd, I can't move with it." ”

"That's another one. I put the halberd back, and Zhang Yi threw another long sword.

also made two gestures, "This long sword is not good...... Before I finished speaking, Zhang Yi threw over the double axe.

"No...... It's too short...... and then the gun, fork, and stick were changed......

The row of weapons was about to be used to the end, and I walked forward.

"Bang-" I didn't pay attention to my foot and kicked a blunt object.

I looked down and saw that it was a knife, originally standing on one side, and I kicked it to the ground.

I picked it up, this knife is slender and very light to hold, I swung it twice, I don't feel very difficult, and it is easy to move with it.

"What kind of knife is this?" I asked Zhang Yi when I looked up.

"Yan Ling knife. A very light knife. Zhang Yi looked at me, "What's the matter?"

"That's it. "I put the knife on the ground.

"Uncle Yi Zhen, can this Yanling knife still be made?"

The old man Yi Zhen put down the sledgehammer and wiped the sweat on his head, "It's easy to say." But to make this knife, I need some materials, I'm not as healthy as before, you have to help me find it. ”

"What materials?" Zhang Yi walked up to the old man Yi Zhen and asked.

"Ten thousand years of ice. Climb up the snow-capped mountain outside, at the top of the snow-capped mountain, dig down three feet to meet the ice surface, the ice face is two feet down, take a piece of the purest ice, there can be no dirt in it, it is ten thousand years of ice. Old man Yi Zhen took us out of the back room, "Be sure to wait for noon to set off, you must quickly reach the top of the mountain, after noon, the temperature on the top of the mountain will drop sharply, if you don't leave quickly, you will be frozen on the top of the mountain, and there will be fierce beasts at night, it is difficult to deal with." So I don't have much time to give you, as soon as possible. I'm waiting for you here, if the situation is not right, you have to come back quickly, if you can bring it back smoothly, I can create a Yanling knife overnight tonight. ”

Without further ado, we said goodbye to Old Man Yi Zhen and returned to Uncle Zhang Yi's house to prepare for departure.

Zhang Yi's uncle sat on the edge of the bed and looked at us, "Descendant of Lingzun, come here." The old man called me over, and with a wave of the golden dragon cane in the air, a sword appeared in the air, "This is the sword that my son carried with him when he was alive, if something happens, you can take this talisman." This sword was given to me by the Earth Lord, who has injected him with the power of protection, and will bless you. ”

"Uncle...... Such a valuable item...... "When I heard the old man say that this was his son's sword when he was alive, I was a little afraid to accept it.

"It's okay, take it, just return it to me when you come back safely. Uncle did not hesitate, but put the sword into my hand and looked at me firmly.

I looked at the old man's eyes, and my heart was suddenly full of strength, "Okay, thank you, uncle." I clenched my saber in my hand.

The old man got up and walked into the inner room, and took out three amulets from the inner room, "Hang this around your waist, this is the talisman that everyone in Huaixue Valley will wear, wear it, you will be protected by the snow mountain, everything has a spirit, as long as you are sincere in your heart, this snow mountain will not embarrass you." The old man put the three amulets into the hands of the three of us, and turned away on crutches.

We didn't say much, looked at the sun outside the window, and waited quietly for noon to come.
