Jiangcheng, the border city of Xu State, is the largest trading city on the border with the neighboring Wuguo, and the Jiang family in the city is the only controller of Jiangcheng. The second son of the head of his family is the general of the current imperial court, who defended the northwest border of Xu for nearly 20 years from invasion and war.

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning sprinkled on the river city, this old city seems to come to life, injected with fresh blood like full of vitality, as a big trading city, its four gates specially opened for trade are always busy every morning, everywhere you can see the people of the martial arts who come and go to trade.

The city is bustling with activity, and as a place of trade between the two countries, the city has a distinctive and exotic feel at every turn.

Xu Wu Road, is the largest street in Jiangcheng, but also the most prosperous street, the two streets are full of very prosperous storefronts and pavilions, so that the people who come and go have a long sense of knowledge. But in this bustling street, there is a different kind of low house, in which there is an uninterrupted sound of striking iron, and the chimney of the roof also emits thick black smoke every once in a while, and its thick black smoke and the sound of striking iron form a strange scenery with this bustling street.

A strangely dressed martial artist frowned and looked at the out-of-place blacksmith

"It's really a grain of rat poop that spoils a pot of porridge!"

"Yo Yo Yo Yo, this friend, don't say this" At this time, a passer-by hurriedly stopped the Wu Guoren and said with a panicked expression.

"Why don't you say it, can't you still rush out and beat me Li!!" The martial artist obviously didn't believe this passer-by, and looked at him with disdain.

"Alas, looking at the appearance of Brother Tai, it should be the first time to come here, otherwise it would be impossible not to know about this Jiang family's blacksmith shop!" said to the Wu Guoren surnamed Li with a sudden expression.

"Jiang clan, isn't it the Jiang clan in this city?" Wu Guoren, surnamed Li, stared at the passer-by with wide eyes.

"Except for that Jiang clan, who else is so bold!"

The Wuguo surnamed Li showed a trace of fear, and then left quickly without saying a word.

The reason why this seemingly dilapidated blacksmith shop has stood on this bustling street to this day is because the owner of this shop is from the Jiang clan, for the ordinary people in the city, the court is far away, and they don't have a strong sense of concept in their hearts at all, but as long as the Jiang family is mentioned in this city, everyone knows it, and most of them show a look of awe.

At this time, in the blacksmith shop, a shirtless man with hair held a small hammer in his right hand, and held an iron tong in his left hand and was constantly forging a piece of iron in the iron tongs, which seemed to be at least dozens of catties of iron hammer dancing like nothing in his hand, and a piece of hot red iron that had just been baked was shaped into various shapes in a short time.

On the man's left hand, a large stove distorted the air, and in front of the bellows stood a thin young man of thirteen or fourteen years old.

In this unusually high temperature environment, the two of them didn't sweat much, but they seemed very relaxed.

At this time, a carriage pulled by two white horses stopped outside the shop, the curtain was lifted, and a handsome young man wearing a white robe, a silver and white crown, and a beautiful jade at his waist walked down.

"Third uncle, leave my brother!"

When the man with the hair heard the shout, he continued his work without raising his head, but he said, "Huaiming is here! You wait for me, and when I finish this last thing, Li'er, you will accompany your cousin first!"

Jiang Li, who was next to him, immediately put down the bellows lever in his hand after hearing the voice, and took a breath to look at Jiang Huaiming and smiled.

"Brother Ming, why do you have time to come to us today? Listen to my father, you have been very busy lately!"

"Hehe, brother Li, I came this time because I have something important to ask the third uncle to return to the clan with you!" Jiang Huaiming said with a smile.

"But has the day of the ancestral sacrifice arrived?" The man with the hair next to him seemed to have just finished the work in his hands, wiped his hands and looked at Jiang Huaiming and said.

"It is precisely this matter that the day of the ancestral sacrifice has been set as the day after tomorrow, so my father asked me to invite the third uncle and the departed brother to worship the ancestors!" Jiang Huaiming looked at the resolute face of the man with the hair and said the reason.

"Well, the ancestral sacrifice is the day when our Jiang family's lineage and bloodline worship the ancestors, so I will naturally go to this matter!" the man with the hair looked at Jiang Huaiming and said.

"Why is this ancestor worship day different every year, determine the specific time, so that you don't have to be as troublesome as now!" Jiang Li said with a pout.

"Li'er, the day of the ancestral sacrifice may be fixed in other families, but our Jiang family is different, our Jiang family's ancestor worship time is determined with the family treasure, so it will be different every year!" said to Jiang Li.

"That's right, Brother Li, this is the first time you have participated in the ancestor worship since you were born, and some unclear things will naturally be known to the family when the time comes!" Jiang Huaiming looked at Jiang Li and said with a smile.

Subsequently, Jiang Huaiming said some things in the clan and said goodbye to Jiang Li's father and son.

Looking at Jiang Huaiming's carriage driving away, the man with the hair seemed to have a fine light in his eyes, and then looked at Jiang Li.

"Li'er! Do you remember what I told you a few days ago, on the day the ancestor worship is completed, you juniors can enter the clan to the treasure pavilion to select treasures, which have all the major rivers and lakes cheats, martial arts explanations, and divine weapons, which are set by the family in order to improve the overall strength of the children in the clan, you must know that in our Jiang family, the treasure pavilion can only go three times in a lifetime, but the treasure pavilion has no restrictions."

"Hehe, father, when the time comes, I will choose martial arts cheats, and I will become an invincible master like my second uncle!" Jiang Li couldn't help but think about it when he thought that he could choose martial arts cheats and then become a general like his second uncle.

"By the way, what did my father choose in the Supreme Treasure Pavilion at the beginning?

Hearing Jiang Li's words, the man with the hair seemed to remember the memory, his eyes were full of melancholy, he sighed, and then seemed to think about it, "If your father is as powerful as your second uncle, will you still strike iron here every day!" The man with the hair touched Jiang Li's head and walked towards the house.

Although Jiang Li felt the strangeness of his father for a moment, he was not very old after all, so he didn't think much about it, looking at the flames in the furnace that were still vigorous, Jiang Li smiled, picked up the small hammer held by his father and continued the forging in front of his father, and the hammer in his hand was waved a few times like his father.

As a child of the Jiang family, Jiang Li was different from them since he was a child, he only remembered that when he was very young, his mother suddenly disappeared, and then his father moved here to open a blacksmith shop, although he often played with other Jiang children, but he never felt that he was inferior to others, although others were dressed luxuriously and had delicious food every day, but Jiang Li felt that what his father gave him was not bad, and he never despised himself because he wore ugly clothes, nor was he jealous of his luxury.

So from childhood to adulthood, Jiang Li has always been more sensible than his peers, and when others are still coquettish in the arms of his parents, he has already pulled up the bellows, because he knows that he and his father are dependent on each other, and Jiang Li actually does not have much sense of belonging to the Jiang family, so for him, worshipping his ancestors is just to choose a good cheats to become a big master, and then take his father to find the mother he has never met.
