Chapter 4 Xu Tiecheng's Requirements
"Come out. Concubine Yan Rong put away her sword and returned it to the sheath, and said to Xu You in the broken temple, who saw that the murderers had already crossed the corpses, and they also walked out honestly.
For Xu You, tonight was too exciting.
The fighting method just now is a hundred times more exciting than the story he heard from Mr. Storyteller, Concubine Yan Rong has one person and one sword, and she actually killed all three murderers, this is the demeanor of a monk. Xu You is also a teenager, of course he is envious, of course he is yearning.
Concubine Yan Rong was still proud at the moment, but her expression when she looked at Xu You was not as cold as at the beginning, in her opinion, her cold water sword could improve the quality, which was the credit of the Xu family, which was equivalent to owing herself a favor to the Xu family's blacksmith shop.
Besides, if the Xu family's blacksmith shop can upgrade the magic weapon, there must be a refining master, so you should go and thank you no matter what. At that moment, she dodged over, grabbed Xu You's collar, and then used her skills to run towards Cold Sky City.
There is a method of flying with the sword in the art of the sword, but Concubine Yan Rong's cultivation is not enough, if you want the sword to fly, you have to refine at least seven layers of qi, but even if you rely on the body of the sky, Concubine Yan Rong's speed is also fast and terrifying. Xu You only felt the wind howling in his ears, and when he reacted again, he was actually at his doorstep.
"This is the monk's method?" Xu You was shocked again, it took a quarter of an hour to run all the way back from the broken temple to his home, and it only took a moment for the female monk to bring her back.
The monk galloped as fast as a horse, which he thought was an exaggeration before, but now that he has experienced it himself, he knows that what those storytellers said is true, and that they are much faster than horses.
Until now, Xu You was dizzy, and then he saw that Concubine Yan Rong had already entered the house.
It was already dark, Xu Tiecheng was naturally worried about his son, and was waiting in the house, but when he saw his son and the black-clothed monk coming together, he was relieved and hurriedly got up.
"Master Xu, I am Concubine Yan Rong, a disciple of the inner sect of the Cold Sword Sect, thank you Master Xu for your success. "Concubine Yan Rong said politely when she met, although she is cold and arrogant, but she is not unkind, this Master Xu can upgrade the magic weapon, and also help her advance the cold water sword, this is a great favor, you must know that if it is within the sect, let the elders of the refining peak advance the magic weapon, it will cost at least thousands of sect contribution points, this is not enough, because there are not many elders in the refining peak who can advance the magic weapon, and the advanced magic weapon can only be completed once in a few days, so if you want to advance the magic weapon, you must queue for at least one to two years first, and even some queue for three or five years are possibleγ
It is precisely because it is very difficult to advance the magic weapon, so this time the Cold Water Sword can be advanced, Concubine Yan Rong naturally has to thank her in person, and it is appropriate to add several times the labor fee.
Xu Tiecheng didn't understand what the situation was at first, but he quickly reacted, first glanced at Xu You behind him, and then smiled and said: "It's just a coincidence, if you do it again, I'm afraid it won't work." β
Obviously, he took a big bag of the advanced magic weapons himself.
Xu Tiecheng doesn't plan to tell others about his son's ability, he knows the sophistication of people, and he knows that he is guilty, and the so-called heart of defense is indispensable.
Concubine Yan Rong naturally did not doubt him, and she also deeply believed that Xu Tiecheng's words were true, it was not easy to advance the magic weapon, if it was easy, the elders on the refining peak would not have so many people. Besides, the people on the refining peak are all monks, and it is easier for monks to refine weapons than mortals, so Master Xu is even more valuable in her eyes.
"I'm here to thank you, and to pay you. Concubine Yan Rong took out all the gold and silver on her body, a total of eighteen taels, these money are placed in other people's homes, enough for a family of three to eat and drink for a year or two, ordinary work is not needed at all, but obviously in the eyes of Concubine Yan Rong, this money is not enough at all.
If it is in the Cold Sword Gate, the advanced magic weapon is not enough to say a dozen taels of gold and silver, even a few hundred or thousands are not enough.
"I only brought so much with me this time when I went down the mountain, you can't use other things, next time I will bring a hundred taels of gold reward. Concubine Yan Rong said.
For mortals, a hundred taels of gold is enough to eat and drink for a lifetime.
Xu Tiecheng hasn't spoken yet, Xu You's eyes are already shining over there, others don't know, but he knows best, just like their ancestral blacksmith shop, the annual income is not much money, a hundred taels of gold, they may not be able to earn it back if they don't eat or drink for fifty years.
At this time, Xu You was staring at money, but Xu Tiecheng was not.
He didn't answer at this time, but just asked Xu You to make tea immediately. Concubine Yan Rong naturally could see that Xu Tiecheng had something to say, so she was not in a hurry, and when Xu You went out, Xu Tiecheng immediately said, "The guest is a monk from the Cold Sword Sect?"
"Not bad!" Concubine Yan Rong had already seen that Xu Tiecheng was extraordinary, if he was a secular mortal, where would he have the skill to repair magic weapons.
"That's good!" Xu Tiecheng seemed to have made a big decision at this time: "One hundred taels of gold, I don't want it, I only ask you for one thing." β
Concubine Yan Rong frowned, she promised to give the other party a hundred taels of gold because she didn't want to owe this favor, anything that could be done with money, she didn't want to involve favors.
Unexpectedly, the other party was unwilling, which made Concubine Yan Rong a little unhappy.
But she didn't say anything, just said, "What's the matter, tell me about it." β
Xu Tiecheng hurriedly said at this time: "My son Xu You, who is just fourteen years old this year, you have seen the guest, I want the guest to take him to the Hanjian Gate." β
Concubine Yan Rong was stunned, she thought that the other party wanted the lion to open her mouth, but she didn't expect to make such a request.
"Do you want your son to worship the Cold Sword Gate?"
"Yes, please refer me as well. β
The coldness in Concubine Yan Rong's eyes was much less, if it was just such a thing, it could be done, but she still had doubts.
"If you want to enter the Han Sword Gate, just participate in the test of the beginner disciple directly, even if the talent is a little worse, it should be possible to get started, especially if your son still has skills, unless he has no talent, but if he has no cultivation talent, then what can he do if he enters the Cold Sword Gate, it is just an empty sigh and a waste of time. Concubine Yan Rong said.
Xu Tiecheng shook his head: "My son Xu You still has talent, when he was young, I asked someone to buy a spirit talisman to test, although he is not talented, but it is also considered to be in the stream, it is indeed possible to get started according to the normal situation, but to start from the miscellaneous servants, at least one level of qi refining must be cultivated to be eligible to participate in the outer disciple trial, even if he enters the outer gate, if he wants to survive to the inner gate again, most disciples do not have this opportunity, so ......"
Hearing this, Concubine Yan Rong already understood what the old blacksmith meant, she pondered for a moment, and then said: "I didn't expect that Master Xu, you actually know so much about the situation of the Hanjian Sect, although I am a disciple of the inner sect, I am not qualified to influence the rules of the sect, at most let him skip the miscellaneous labor and enter the outer gate directly." β
When Xu Tiecheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "That's good, it's better if you can take care of one or two more." β
Concubine Yan Rong didn't say anything this time, nodded, and then her figure flashed, and she had already walked out, but the voice still came back.
"I have something to deal with, and I'll pick up Xu You and go to Hanjianmen in March. β
The sound surrounds, and the people have already drifted away, perhaps out of the city, this is the monk's method.
Xu Tiecheng was also relieved when he heard this, he had not recovered from the cold, and he was also sitting on a chair at the moment, and Xu You came in with a teacup at the outer door, but he only saw his father present, with doubts on his face.
Seeing Xu You, a trace of love flashed in Xu Tiecheng's eyes.
"You'er, put down the cup, you come, Dad will tell you something. β
......
There was a rain in the cold city of this night, the sound of the raindrops falling on the roof tiles was very noisy, some people said to listen to the rain, the peace of mind is the rain, the heart is chaotic and the rain is mixed, the heart is happy and the rain is happy, and the heart is angry and the rain is urgent.
But Xu You, who was lying on the bed, was in a mess, a little dazed, a little panicked, and a little expectant.
What Xu Tiecheng asked him to say before going to bed was actually to tell him that after March, the female monk named Concubine Yan Rong would take him to the Cold Sword Gate and directly become a disciple of the outer sect.
The news was too sudden, which made Xu You stunned, and the first thing he reacted to at that time was not to go.
Although Xu You longed for the monk's supernatural powers and ease, he knew that if he left, his father would be the only one left in the family, just like this time his father was infected with a cold, and if there was no one around him to take care of him, he was afraid that something big would happen.
However, in this matter, Xu Tiecheng has obviously already made a decision, and there is no room for negotiation about Xu You's entry into the Cold Sword Gate, of course, in order to reassure Xu You, Xu Tiecheng said that he will accept an apprentice at that time, so that there are people around him to take care of him, and Xu You can also rest assured.
Despite this, Xu You kept tossing and turning all night, listening to the rain outside, and he didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep.
Xu Tiecheng is a good father, and this matter is obviously thinking about his son's future, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to worship the Cold Sword Gate. There are too many benefits of becoming a monk, living longer than ordinary people, ordinary people are already considered to be old at the age of seventy, and there are many monks who are 100 years old, the higher the realm, the longer the longevity, in addition to the magic powers, the monk absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, the body is strong, can travel the world with a sword, and can control the feng shui volcano, which is obviously much better than a mortal.
The next morning, Xu You got up early to cook, and then repaired the iron tools in the neighborhood for the neighbors, Xu Tiecheng's health was also much better than before, no one mentioned yesterday's incident, but the matter had been decided.
In the next few days, Xu You tried his best to take on as many jobs as possible and make more money, Xu Tiecheng saw it in his eyes, and naturally knew in his heart that this was his son's filial piety, and he wanted to save more money for himself.
Just like that, a month passed, early in the morning, Aunt Wang next door brought a teenager of the same grade as Xu You to visit, and it turned out that Xu Tiecheng was going to accept an apprentice The news was released earlier. Don't look at the Xu family as an ordinary family, they guard a blacksmith shop, but in the eyes of the neighbors, they are capable craftsmen, and they can learn a skill to accompany them now, at least they can't be hungry, so during this time, many people asked people to ask Xu Tiecheng.
That Aunt Wang was anxious, so she actually brought someone over, it is said that she is her distant nephew, who is only one year younger than Xu You, but perhaps because she has lived in the village since she was a child, her body is more robust than Xu You.
At least this physique, being a blacksmith is an innate advantage, after all, forging requires a lot of strength, in addition, although this young man is wooden, he is sincere, so after Xu Tiecheng asked some questions, he nodded, and his heart was already set on this person.
