Chapter Twenty-Three: The Rain Dragon

Wu Gong's blood flowed half of his face, and he was furious in his heart, and he slapped down on the top of Shi Tianyou's head with his palm, and suddenly stretched out a hand in the oblique thorn and grabbed Wu Gong's wrist, of course, this hand belonged to the fat pig.

"Wu Gong, I can't help it, die like this...... It's too cheap for him, can't we stay and play slowly?"

Although Shi Tianyou didn't eat it softly and hard, An Simen still didn't give up. You must know that as soon as Shi Tianyou dies, the whereabouts of the gun will always be a mystery, and if you don't get the gun trick, An Simen's "grand cause" will become the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water.

Although Wu Gong has a bad temper, his ability to weigh the pros and cons is undoubted, otherwise he would not be so patient to set up a game that has lasted for twenty years. Although he was so angry and in pain, he endured it and went out of the tea room to bandage his wounds.

Of course, Shi Tianyou was put back into that cold and damp cell. The two prison guards Shi Tianyou were still on the ground, locked the door and fled.

Shi Tianyou was still lying motionless on the ground in the posture he had just been thrown. Zhang Yihammer climbed over with difficulty and asked with concern, "Little brother, are you okay?"

"I ...... Good...... I'm ...... Good...... "Shi Tianyou was given the fierce medicine of the cold yin knife by Wu Gong this time, and he also received a heavy blow to the back, only to feel that he would die immediately, and his whole body was painful, itchy, and cold, and he would be like a thousand ants devouring his heart for a while, and he would be like a cold knife piercing his ......heart for a while.

Zhang Yihammer saw Shi Tianyou trembling, crawled to his side with great effort, stretched out the palm of the big fan, pulled Shi Tianyou into his arms to warm him with body temperature, and praised him: "Little brother, your backbone and perseverance, I Zhang Yihammer admires you! A manly man should be a man with a clear conscience and be a ghost with a clear conscience......

Although Shi Tianyou was so uncomfortable that he was going to die, when he heard Zhang Yihammer say "be a ghost with a clear conscience", he felt that this statement was fresh and appropriate, and thought: Although this Uncle Zhang is five big and three thick, he is very interesting to speak, and he feels the body temperature transmitted by the other party, and he gradually feels better.

The time in the cell is too difficult to pass, and it is of course much better to have a companion than nothing, and the two of them actually feel a little dependent on each other at the moment. "Uncle Zhang, why are they keeping you here?" this is the question that Shi Tianyou has been wanting to ask for the past two days.

Zhang Yihammer said: "Little brother, shall I tell you a story?" Shi Tianyou nodded in understanding.

“...... Twenty years ago, the national casting technique was at its peak, and it was a grand landscape of "smelting stone as a tool and setting up a thousand furnaces". At that time, many outstanding casters emerged all over the country, and among these masters, Yu Zhan was the first person to deserve to be casters. ”

“...... At that time, there was a poem that described Yu Zhan like this: "The sky is full of iron smelting and flying smoke, the red light and purple gas are impressive, and the casters are like no rain Zhan, and thousands of famous utensils are discolored." The first two sentences are about the spectacular scene of smoke flying during casting, and the last two sentences are about saying that if there is no rain, all the famous objects in this world will be eclipsed. At that time, there was still a popular saying in the casting industry that "there was Lu Ban in ancient times, and there is Yu Zhan today" actually compared Yu Zhan with Lu Ban, which shows how Yu Zhan's casting technique was praised at that time!

“...... Master Yu Zhan had not yet accepted apprentices at that time. One day, Master Yu Zhan took his wife and daughter back to his wife Qilu's mother's house, at that time Qilu bandits were prevalent, and there were only a few servants with him, and when the group walked to the vicinity of Sushan, they were stopped by a group of bandits, and several servants were all killed. Yu Zhan's casting technique is superb, but his martial arts are mediocre, and he is besieged by several bandits, and he is in danger. A few robbers saw that Yu Zhan's wife was very good-looking, so they had evil intentions and were about to pull to a flat grass to implement **......"

When Zhang Yizhu said this, he felt that Shi Tianyou in his arms was trembling more and more, and asked, "Little brother, is it uncomfortable......?" Why don't you try your luck and see if you'll get better?"

Shi Tianyou said: "Uncle Zhang, I tried, but I was unlucky, but it hurt even more." You say, I can resist it!"

Zhang Yizhu shook his head and continued: "At that time, there happened to be a young man chopping wood in Sushan, and when he heard the cry of a little girl, he came to find the sound, and just saw this scene, the young man stepped forward and waved two plate axes in his hand, and killed all the bandits......"

Master Yu Zhan was grateful to this young man for saving his life, and when he saw that the young man had infinite strength and good understanding, he had the heart to accept the apprentice, so he asked the young man if he was willing. ”

“...... That was eighteen years ago, and the young man had been studying art under Yuzhan for nearly two years. One day, Yu Zhan called the apprentice to his side and said that there was a big man in Beijing who wanted to forge a peerless sword, and he asked Master Yu Zhan to complete it. At that time, there was an unusually cruel rule in the casting world: after casting a famous sword for a great official, after the famous sword was cast, the swordsmith would kill himself on the spot and dissolve the blade of the sword with his own blood, which was called "blood sacrifice"! Because of this rule, the casting master is almost extinct!

Master Yu Zhan knew that he would definitely die this time, so after receiving the casting task, he arranged his funeral in advance and sent his wife and daughter to a safe and proper place. Let his apprentice go with him to forge a sword for that big man!"

"The secret of this sword casting is abnormal, and the pomp is also very large, in order to cast this sword, a sword casting team of 300 people has been set up, and Yu Zhantuo's friends in Jingzhong have asked his apprentice to pretend to be a member of the sword casting team in the mountain chiseling team, and he is specially responsible for the mountain ......."

"The sword casting place is selected in Mount Tai, during the time of the sword casting, the old Longkou Lake of Mount Tai is strictly forbidden for pedestrians to enter and exit, and the real one can be called "difficult to cross the bird". The mountain chiseling team chiseled the water of the old dragon's mouth pond and led it to the eight pools arranged according to the direction of the eight trigrams next to the sword-casting furnace, which was forged in 8864 days...... Therefore, this sword is called "Rain Dragon"!"

"When Master Yu Zhan cast the "Rain Dragon Sword", he actually cast the "male and female double sword"!"

"Male and female double swords"? Is there another sword that is a female sword? What is the name?" Shi Tianyou was shocked when he heard this, completely forgetting the pain on his body, and couldn't help but ask.

"Master Yu Zhan knew that he was going to die, so he deliberately cast another female sword when casting the rain dragon, and this female sword is called Zhan Lu!"

"In fact, these two swords are not cast at the same time, Master Yu Zhan knows that even the "male and female" double swords are cast for others in full view, so ...... Master Yu Zhan came up with a plan......"

"What's the plan?" Shi Tianyou was completely attracted by Zhang Yizhu's "story".

"After Master Yu Zhan finished casting the Zhan Lu Sword, he lied to the big man that the sword casting was unsuccessful and needed to be recast, and the big man didn't care about it at the time, so the Zhan Lu Sword was treated as a defective product. Because it was a defective product, everyone didn't pay much attention to this sword, and it was finally managed to be taken out by Yu Zhan's apprentice. Therefore, in fact, there is Zhanlu first, and then there is Yulong. The first character of the name of these two swords is also taken from the name of Yu Zhan. ”

"Master Yu Zhan's purpose in casting the 'Male and Female Twin Swords' is to give the female sword to his daughter, so that she can avenge herself when she grows up!"

Before he died, Master Yu Zhan warned his apprentice and asked his apprentice to swear a poisonous oath "You will not cast any weapons for the imperial court for the rest of your life, if you violate this wish, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" After forging the rain dragon, Master Yu Zhan was forced to kill himself in front of the sword...... At that time, when Yu Zhan's blood dripped on the sword of the rain dragon, he heard the sound of the dragon on the sword......"

Shi Tianyou felt as if he was listening to a mythical story, and when he heard this, he had a strong desire in his heart, eager to see the peerless brilliance of the "male and female double sword".

"This sword...... Is it really that powerful?" Shi Tianyou asked.

At that time, the person who knew the sword described the sword of the rain dragon in this way: "The spirit responds to the heaven and the earth, the spirit deters the ghosts and gods, and it comes like a thunderbolt to collect anger, like the blue light of the river and the sea, and the color of the rain dragon is like frost and snow, dare to call the sun and the moon not in the open air......!"

"With such a powerful sword, what other weapon in the world can match it?"

"Except for the legendary Yanyun Spear...... It's just a legend, and I don't know if there is such a gun. I'm afraid that there is no weapon in the world that can stop its edge. ”

"Yanyun Gun?...... Yanyun Eighteen Guns" Shi Tianyou muttered to himself, and the gun recipe of his ancestors suddenly appeared in his mind.

Zhang Yizhu didn't care about Shi Tianyou's whispering, and continued: "Master Yu Zhan's apprentice took the Zhan Lu Sword and came to the hiding place of Lady Yu and her daughter, and handed over the sword to his daughter according to the master's wishes. Mrs. Yu took the Zhan Lu sword, tears fell like rain, and she committed suicide by swinging the sword and leading her neck......"

It turned out that when Mrs. Yu saw the sword, she understood that her husband was no longer alive, and the husband and wife were deeply in love, and her husband was dead, and she did not want to live alone, so she swung the sword and killed herself...... Just pity the little girl...... I lost my parents at a young age and lived alone in this world......"

Hearing this, Shi Tianyou remembered his life experience: Didn't he also lose his parents? Wasn't he a lonely man? How many times did he escape from death?...... Now he is seriously injured, poisoned into the bone marrow, and may die at any time. But as soon as he dies, who will avenge this sea of blood?...... Thinking of this, I felt sad from my heart and couldn't help crying.

Zhang Yihammer knew that he had touched Shi Tianyou's sad past, and he didn't persuade him, so he cried as much as he could. Shi Tianyou is still a child after all, and this crying is no different from other children: it comes and goes quickly. After crying like this for a while, he then asked, "I know that this apprentice is you." Where is this little girl? What's her name?"

Zhang Yizhu turned a deaf ear to Shi Tianyou's question this time, and after a long time, he replied to the question: "An Simen arrested me here and ordered me to cast weapons for the imperial court, how can I forget the master's last wish? At this time, the world is peaceful, and he wants to make more weapons than in wartime, and with such a large-scale casting, his rebellious heart is clearly revealed, saying that it is for the imperial court, but in fact it is preparing for his own rebellion! I, Zhang Yihammer, will not agree to him even if I die!"

Shi Tianyou nodded and said: "An Simen is of Turkic blood, and now the four seas are peaceful, and the imperial court has no rejection of foreign races. Historically, this is probably the most inclusive time ever. On the pretext of guarding the frontier, Ansimen recruited troops and horses, cast weapons on a large scale, and trained "dead soldiers...... I've heard him talk to a man named Wugong about recovering the Turkic Khanate...... He had treated me like a dead man, so he didn't worry about me hearing his secrets. ”

"What's the use of sounding like this? The current emperor is very mediocre, indulging in wine all day long, and is no longer the wise and martial arts of the past. It is said that he has great trust in this Ansimen, and he has heard that the concubine he is now very favored has a leg with this fat idiot...... This fat idiot...... Courage is not your average big ......"

When the two of them said this, they were silent, probably thinking in their hearts: whether they can see the sun rise tomorrow is a problem, and they are worried about national affairs...... Suppose that An Simen not only did not kill himself, but sent himself to the Chaoyang Palace to report to the emperor, he was afraid that if the emperor did not kill himself, he would be blasted out of the court like a madman.

Zhang Yizhu was the first to return to reality from his ideals, believing that it was better to care about the emperor now than to care about the people around him who depended on him. Get to know each other more before they die, so that when they die, they don't have enough information to find each other in the underworld. Zhang Yihammer's questioning confirmed that he really thought so: "Little brother, what is your name, where do you live, why did they arrest you here?"

Shi Tianyou was already fully convinced that Zhang Yizhu was a reliable person at this time, and he was thinking about pouring beans from the bamboo basket - to say it clearly and clearly. Suddenly, two muffled sounds were heard, followed by the sound of the key opening the cell door......
