Chapter 4: A Hundred Years of Blacksmith Furnace Prosperity

In the early morning of the next day, in a courtyard in the cinder alley, Chen Longting, who had been attacking martial arts cultivation all night, gradually opened his eyes, and after spewing out two white qi from his nose, he smiled bitterly, or a little worse, although yesterday the blind man A Bing's song 'Big Waves and Sands' caused the resonance of the strength in my body, but it was still a little insufficient!

Chen Longting shook his head, not long ago, I just reached the transformation strength, and now I want to break through, it is obviously impossible, but after this incident, I believe that within half a year, my cultivation will be able to reach the middle stage of the transformation strength!

At that time, with those martial arts in Taigong's dream, I dare to say that under the strength of Gang, no one is my opponent! In this regard, Chen Longting is quite confident, of course, he will not be conceited to think that he is the first in the world, after all, those many hidden doors in Huaxia are like mountains, pressing on his body!

I'm afraid that I will definitely intersect with them in the future, and I hope that my strength will not be too far from them at that time. If I could, surpass those hidden doors! It would be a good feeling to use my strength to blind their eyes!

In fact, this is also to kill that Shuanglongmen's Lei Wanqing! In the dream, he killed Pan Jinyan, forcing the Taigong to be cornered, and when the young master broke through the Gangjin, he took out the Tianlong Broken City and killed this old dog as soon as possible! There are also the remnants of the Qin family, these people can't escape! As he spoke, Chen Longting clenched his fists, hoping that he would reach Gangjin cultivation in the next moment.

That's right! Yesterday's September Zen master, could it be a person from the hidden door? Is it Shaolin? But that monk is too handsome, right? In addition, last night I was a blind man A Bing, but I didn't expect him to have another identity, and he was actually a little heavenly master of Zhengyi. But unfortunately, because of syphilis. The cultivation is completely wasted, so there is no way to take charge of the Dao Hall. ended up walking the streets and alleys and making a living by performing arts.

It's a pity, but it's someone else's business, and I can't take care of it. After speaking, Chen Longting cleaned up, then opened the door, came to the center of the courtyard, and started today's morning exercise. Daily training is something that should never be wasted.

But I saw the sound of boxing in the courtyard, the strong wind was blowing, the moves were constantly changing, he sometimes opened and closed, the strength was strong and sometimes the action was light, with slow and fast, Xingyi boxing, Baji boxing, Taijiquan, many martial arts can be said to be endless.

But Chen Longting practiced and practiced, and always felt that there seemed to be someone peeping around. But when he looked around, he didn't find anyone, and it was strange until time passed. Only then did he slowly leave this feeling behind and gradually immersed himself in the vast martial arts.

I practiced for an hour, and I sweated slightly. Chen Longting went back to his room and began to wash, and then it was the same as yesterday. still changed into the green robe, as for why not wear the red robe. Just because it's not the time yet. What is needed now is a fresh style, not a young master, after changing his clothes, Chen Longting opened the door, and happened to meet Du Wenhui getting up with a yawn, as soon as this guy saw the young master, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said at the same time:

"Young master, where are you going to play today, can you take me with you?"

Hearing this, Chen Longting immediately shook his head and said:

"Take you, don't come! You have fun on your own. ”

At this moment, Liu Congyun also opened the door, and when he saw that the young master was going out, he couldn't help but look at Du Wenhui and said with a smile:

"Don't disturb the young master's tranquility, let's continue to play chess today. ”

When Du Wenhui saw Liu Banxian say this, he immediately trembled in fright, raised his hand to point at the other party, and opened his mouth to scold:

"I didn't win a single set yesterday, and I just can't die today!"

Seeing that Du Wenhui said nothing, Liu Congyun touched his beard and smiled:

"Then I'll let you take three steps?"

Chen Longting shook his head with a smile, and after casually explaining a few words, he walked out of the mansion, but when he passed by the ghost's room, he found that the window was open, and he couldn't help but look inside and found that the room was empty. In this regard, Chen Longting smiled, he was not very surprised, it was obvious that this guy had started the life of a lone ranger again, he was too lazy to care, and he couldn't take care of it.

I was going to do something yesterday afternoon, but I didn't think that A Bing's song made me almost break through, so it was delayed, but it's not too late to go again today.

Chen Longting, who walked out of the courtyard, inquired all the way and asked passers-by that there were blacksmith shops nearby, and the results all said that there were several century-old shops in Wangfujing, so he kept coming to Wangfujing Street.

In the middle of the street, Chen Longting found four or five blacksmith shops, which should not be called shops, but more suitable to be called blacksmithing workshops, and then he walked to one of them, but saw that the roof of the asbestos tile was a little simple. On the south wall of the house is a white wooden sign with the handwritten words 'Oven' in red letters.

In addition, on both sides of the gate, there is still a couplet, although the Spring Festival has passed half a year, but the couplet is only a little curled at the corner, only to see the couplet on the book:

"Gold is refined in the furnace, and jasper is born in the hammer"

Can be kept for so long, obviously the blacksmith of this shop, very careful, said, Chen Longting strode in, and when he came to the hall, he saw some traditional tools hanging on the wall, crowbars, butchers' scrapers, meat hooks, tools for climbing trees, rings for dogs, tools for playing cotton, and barbers in addition to sickles, three-tooth digging hoes, four-tooth digging hoes, pickaxes, axes and other agricultural tools.

Unexpectedly, this blacksmith shop, although the gatehouse is low and old, but through these utensils, people feel that it has a thick history and vicissitudes. At this time, a middle-aged woman dressed in flowers and branches walked out of the inner hall with a basin of water, and when she saw Chen Longting, her eyes lit up, what a handsome little brother!

"Dead ghost, come out and pick up the guests!" After saying this, the middle-aged woman immediately stepped forward and looked at Chen Longting with a smile.

Picking up customers? Immediately, Chen Longting was startled and went straight back, what is the situation? Is this a blacksmith shop or a green building in front of him? Seeing the middle-aged woman coming up, he immediately broke out in sweat, Nima! Am I going to the wrong place? Fortunately, at this time, a middle-aged man ran over panting, and shouted loudly at the same time:

"It's coming! It's coming!"

At the same time, the middle-aged man looked at Chen Longting and said:

"Guests. What do you need?"

Seeing that the woman did not move forward, Chen Longting reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Glancing at the many living and agricultural tools on the wall, I thought that these things were not what I wanted. So saying, he spoke:

"Do you have any weapons?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes immediately changed, and then he secretly looked at Chen Longting a few times, and saw that the other party looked like a scholar, and guessed that he might want to buy a sword, so he nodded and said:

"You come with me. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man gave his daughter-in-law a look and asked her to leave, but the other party didn't seem to see it. ignored him, and almost him off in an instant.

Chen Longting said yes, and followed the middle-aged man to the inner hall, and the woman dressed in flowers and branches also followed behind the two. There were several rows of weapon racks in the inner hall, but he saw that there were knives, guns, sticks, swords, shields, flying claws, meteor hammers, and other Qimen weapons on them.

"These weapons can be used for collection and training. All categories are fully available, so you can choose from whatever you need. ”

Hearing this, Chen Longting walked to the weapon rack with a spear in a few steps. I picked up a halberd and weighed it a few times, but I shook my head. It's too light and it's not easy to handle. Then he turned his head and said:

"I don't know, do you have a Fang Tian Painting Halberd here?"

The middle-aged man was stunned. Then he looked at the cold-looking young man in front of him again, then shook his head and said:

"Fang Tian's painting halberd, generally only used during sacrifices, the small shop does not have this kind of weapon, if the guest is used to collect, the problem is not big, I will forge one, but for training, I am afraid it will hurt myself." ”

Seeing the other party say this, Chen Longting couldn't help but be a little disappointed, originally the big gun could also be used improvised, but after all, it was different from Fang Tian's halberd, so he came to the blacksmith shop to find a halberd and use it for the time being, but since there was none, then make one.

When the woman heard her husband chirping, she secretly kicked him, and then whispered:

"If this little brother wants it, you can do it for him, why do you say so much?" After speaking, she looked at Chen Longting again and smiled.

Chen Longting immediately shuddered, and then asked the middle-aged man if he had a pen and paper? The other party immediately understood what he was going to do, after bringing the pen and paper, Chen Longting immediately painted the scoop according to the appearance of the Tianlong breaking the city halberd in his memory, and after a while, the paper showed a gun head in the shape of a 'well', and the left and right sides were divided into large and small crescent moon Fang Tian painting halberd!

"The length is one zhang two, just according to this style. ”

The middle-aged man saw the drawings, nodded immediately, and took Chen Longting to the back hall, before he arrived, he heard the crisp and pleasant jingle sound from afar, and then stepped into the back hall, and saw the bellows pick, that is, the Laojun furnace, bellows, and anvils, which were displayed in the center of the back hall.

"Our Mu family, our ancestors once served in the Ministry of Industry, this furnace was newly built at that time, and now it has a history of hundreds of years. The middle-aged man said with some pride.

Chen Longting nodded, at this moment, the fire in the Laojun furnace in front of him was booming, there were three people working, one person pulling the bellows, one person mastering the furnace heat, and one person picking up a sledgehammer.

The faces of the three men were glowing red with the fire, and one of them was holding a pair of tongs in his left hand and a farm tool that was about to take shape and was burning in the fire, and in his right hand he was holding a large hammer with a shiny bottom.

Jingling!

The sledgehammer slammed on the farm tools that were about to be completed, causing sparks to splash everywhere, but the person with the sledgehammer didn't care about it, Chen Longting found that the clothes on this person's body had been burned out of large and small holes in several places, he couldn't help frowning, and the middle-aged man saw his gaze, but smiled:

"Don't be afraid of burning your clothes, but if you only care about your clothes, then the burned iron will be cold, and you won't be able to fight. ”

It turns out that this is the case, Chen Longting feels that the blacksmith in reality is completely different from the shirtless appearance in movies and novels, but the same thing is that the metal is fired and repeatedly beaten into shape.

Looking at the red-hot iron in the furnace, Chen Longting turned his head to look at the middle-aged man and asked:

"Can you use steel to forge my 'Fang Tian Painting Halberd'?"

"Yes, we will use the decarburization method to make an all-steel halberd!

"You can even use 'Hundred Steel' to draw Fang Tian's halberd. Make a sharp weapon!"

Chen Longting was shocked, this is something to say! I can't think of this inconspicuous blacksmith shop. actually mastered such a technology, although as early as the Western Han Dynasty, the ancients were able to adopt the 'cast iron solid decarburization into steel method'. Manufacture of ringhead knives with fewer impurities.

But what no one knows is that during the Han Dynasty, there was a 'hundred steelmaking' technology, which could produce high-quality steel with high carbon content, few impurities, uniform structure, and good corrosion resistance.

At that moment, Chen Longting couldn't help it, and asked the other party to 'Hundred Steel' to forge the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, but the middle-aged man was a little embarrassed and said:

"This hundred steels cost a lot of money. ”

A lot of money? Chen Longting was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked:

"How much?

"Visually inspect the shape of the drawing, according to the volume of one zhang and two sizes, you need" The middle-aged man did not finish speaking. The daughter-in-law behind him kicked him in the leg again.

"Damn it, give this little brother a little cheaper. What are you doing with all that money?"

Hearing the words of his daughter-in-law, the middle-aged man almost started a rush on the spot, what a loser! Why haven't I seen you like this, and I often think that I make less money! Today the sun came out in the west, and the middle-aged man was extremely speechless for a while, but when he saw that the tigress at home was looking at him with a threatening gaze, he couldn't help but say depressedly:

"At least 10,000 pieces of the ocean. ”

Seeing that woman forced her husband to give her preferential treatment, Chen Longting was secretly refreshed in his heart, this is the advantage of being handsome! Haha! But when he heard that it would cost at least 10,000 yuan, he was taken aback. When he left Qingyang County, Chen Longting carried five gold bars, and later in Qingfeng Village, the bandit sister secretly stuffed ten gold bars for him. The expenses along the way, taste the food, and never taboo it. The original five gold bars have been spent. Now there are only ten gold bars left, which is exactly 10,000 oceans.

At this moment, Chen Longting's face turned green. When the woman saw Chen Longting's appearance, she couldn't help but look at her husband and asked:

"Dead ghost, can't you be cheaper?"

When the middle-aged man heard the word cheap again, he couldn't help it anymore, and he was furious on the spot, but he saw him open his mouth and scolded:

"You ruined, what do you know? I'm going to pay for it when it's cheap!"

As soon as the woman heard this, her face changed suddenly, and she looked at the middle-aged man and said coldly:

"What did you say? I think you're itching, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately said loudly:

"Wrong! I was wrong! Daughter-in-law, forgive me!"

Originally, Chen Longting's ugly face was ugly, but after seeing this living treasure couple, he laughed, and then asked the four of them to drink the northwest wind for a weapon? Is this really worth it? But after knowing that this blacksmith shop has such skills, Chen Longting couldn't help but feel itchy, and couldn't help asking:

"If you use 100 steel, how long will it take?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then stretched out three fingers and said:

"If you use the ordinary decarburization method, it can be completed in three days, but 100 steels"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man stretched out his finger, leaving only one, and then continued:

"It will take more than a month!"

More than a month? It's okay! Chen Longting exhaled a breath, the time is in time, a month later it will be the triennial, the National Weaving Golden Basin Challenge, the prize money alone has 300,000 yuan, and the championship is won, this 10,000 yuan is not a drizzle?

As he spoke, Chen Longting immediately finalized the matter, and used a hundred steels! So he took out a gold bar from his arms, counted it as a deposit, and let the middle-aged man open a note, and after putting it away, he turned around and planned to leave. When the woman saw Chen Longting leaving, she immediately followed, turned back to her husband and said:

"I'm going to see off the guests. ”

The middle-aged man nodded bitterly, but Chen Longting's heart was cold, and finally when he walked out of the blacksmith shop, the woman looked at him, waved her handkerchief, and then smiled:

"Little brother, come and play next time!"

Chen Longting almost fell to the ground with a heel, and then used the birth method to escape from this place of right and wrong in an instant, after a while, Chen Longting stopped, looked up at the sky, it was indeed close to noon, he suddenly patted his head, actually forgot one thing, couldn't help but reach out to stop a rickshaw, and then sat on it, and said urgently:

"Xicheng District, Silver Ingot Bridge, hurry up!"

"Okay! sit down, let's go!" After the rickshaw driver finished speaking, he immediately shouted loudly and dragged the car towards Xicheng District.

After Chen Longting left, in the blacksmith shop, the middle-aged man was putting the drawings with Fang Tian's halberd on the table, and began to plan the participating craftsmen, when an old man opened the door and walked in, the middle-aged man saw the old man, immediately greeted him, and said:

"Dad, why are you here?"

"I've come to see if you're dead. It turned out that the old man was the father of a middle-aged man, but he seemed to be very angry, but he heard the old man say:

"I told you a long time ago, don't marry a green/lou woman back then, you just didn't listen, and now you regret it, right?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, and then said:

"I don't regret it, but I'm glad that with her, my life will not be the same as in the past. ”

"You, bastard!" the old man scolded.

As the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read, the middle-aged man surnamed Mu in front of him married a Qing/Lou woman in his early years, but he does not regret his original decision, even if she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter to him, he has never regretted it, if Chen Longting is still here, he will definitely applaud and say:

"This is true love!"

After the middle-aged man had said that, the door was pushed open again, and the woman entered, with pear blossoms on her face, and with tears in her eyes, and said:

"Wood, you don't dislike me, I will never treat you like before in the future, I remember your kindness. ”

Then, the couple hugged each other, the old man shook his head and let out a long sigh, it was really a bad fate, but he had already been married, so he couldn't say anything, just as he was talking, the old man was suddenly attracted by the drawings on the table.

It was originally a cursory glance, but then a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately walked over, picked up the drawing, looked at it for a long time, and a look of shock gradually appeared in his eyes, and he said in a low voice:

"Isn't this the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd that has been lost for thousands of years in the Divine Weapon Spectrum and ranks first on the Xuan List?"

On the rickshaw, although the driver drove at full speed, pulling the car to Xicheng District, Chen Longting was still a little anxious, lotus sister paper! I believe everyone understands the truth of 'Huai Bi's sin, he is currently in the early stage of transforming strength, and the artifact of the Tianlong Broken City Halberd, but he doesn't dare to take it out, it's all just because his strength is not enough!

He is not Chen Wanjiao, he has a real Gang strength cultivation, so he will first make a pirated version of the familiar, remember the few cool moves in the dream, only use Fang Tian to draw the halberd to make it out.

Half an hour later, Chen Longting came to the Silver Ingot Bridge, just saw the sketching girl, packed up his things, turned around and left, leaving him only a quiet back, Chen Longting regretted death on the spot, raised his feet and prepared to chase over, but the old man who was fat guarded looked back at him with a sharp gaze, obviously warning!

Chen Longting stopped, sighed, walked across the bridge with gains and losses, and came to the place where the sister paper had sat before, and suddenly found a handkerchief on the ground.

I couldn't help but reach out and pick it up, put it on the tip of my nose and smell it, a faint fragrance, although the person was not there, but there was a dark fragrance residue on the handkerchief, which made his heart flutter, and then he suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly:

"I'm such a genius!"

(PS: Thank you book friends, happy superman, monthly passes, book friends, zt3383908, reward, and, cheap goods are hypocritical, 588 rewards, but it's a pity that Xiaosha can't get the renewal ticket, otherwise it will be perfect.)

The sister paper opposite Xiaosha's room gave half a cantaloupe, and it tasted so sweet to the heart, what kind of trouble is she making? It can't be that she has any thoughts about Xiaosha, right? It seems that I have to be careful, after all, our posture is not much worse than Chen Longting, well, we must lock the door tonight!) (To be continued......)
