Chapter 41: The Hall of Swordcasting
Mo Yun was stunned in place, not knowing what to do, so he had to smile slightly to resolve the embarrassment, too, the first time they met, the young man's behavior was really incomprehensible, but fortunately, the young man quickly returned to normal, and said in a deep voice: "Little junior brother, first introduce yourself, I Tengyuan Mountain, I am the future chief swordsmith of the Sword Casting Hall, you can call me Senior Brother Teng in the future." ”
When Mo Yun heard this, he didn't hesitate at all, bowed slightly, and said very politely: "Hello Senior Brother Teng, Mo Yun is polite!"
Teng Yuanshan enjoyed the title of "senior brother" very much, his face was proud, and his attitude towards Mo Yun was also very similar to that of a senior brother, and then said: "Little junior brother, if you don't come to help, it's about to be dinner, don't miss the hour, otherwise those old guys should be angry again." ”
Hearing this, Mo Yun looked around, not knowing what Tengyuan Mountain's so-called help meant!
Seeing Mo Yun's puzzled expression, Teng Yuanshan looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said: "Mo Yun, Mo Yun, you should have the consciousness of being a little junior brother, if you have any doubts, just open your mouth, senior brother must know everything." At the same time, he kept glancing at Mo Yun.
Mo Yun suddenly realized, and then said: "Senior Brother Teng, what you said just now is too profound, Mo Yun doesn't understand, what is the time to eat, don't miss the time, and ask Senior Brother to give advice!"
"That's it, this is the ration for all the staff of our Sword Casting Hall, it's noon soon, let's send it to the senior brothers. Teng Yuanshan pointed to the two wooden boxes on the ground and said pretending to be profound.
At this point, Mo Yun figured out the cause and effect, came to Tengyuan Mountain as soon as possible, quickly picked up the two wooden boxes on the ground, and then asked, "Senior Brother Teng, what about the others in our Sword Casting Hall?"
Mo Yun's performance, Teng Yuanshan was very satisfied, and responded: "Little junior brother, you just came to our Sword Casting Hall, and you have a limited understanding of our Sword Casting Hall, and the senior brothers are naturally forging swords in the sword furnace!"
Mo Yun was confused, but he was even more puzzled, before, in the octagonal building, he had already looked at it carefully, and did not find any trace of the sword furnace!
Teng Yuanshan saw Mo Yun's thoughts and explained: "Little junior brother, you are really stupid, how can there be a sword furnace here, come with me." With that, he walked towards the hall with his hands behind his back.
Mo Yun followed behind Tengyuan Mountain with interest, walked about a few dozen steps, Tengyuan Mountain stopped, and then said a little mysteriously: "Little junior brother, you can take a good look, the next is the moment to witness the miracle." ”
Mo Yun's curiosity was completely attracted by the wall in front of him, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, and when he looked closely, it was no different from an ordinary wall, it seemed that there must be another mystery in this!
At this time, Tengyuanshan stretched out his right hand, and on this wall, he regularly clicked seven times, and when the last one was clicked, the entire wall was divided into two from the middle, revealing a step that went straight to the ground!
"Let's go, follow Senior Brother and I, and go to see Chief Manager Tang. Tengyuan Mountain took the lead in walking in, seeing this scene, Mo Yun held a strong curiosity and followed in with two large wooden boxes.
There are a total of seventy-seven and forty-nine steps, as the steps in front of him are getting fewer and fewer, the curiosity in Mo Yun's heart has been perfectly interpreted, I didn't expect that the underground of the octagonal building is such a huge space, looking up, three huge stoves, the raging fire is burning non-stop, there are six people around each furnace who are constantly busy, each performing their duties, the sound of striking iron, one after another, the tacit understanding of cooperation, let Mo Yun open his eyes!
"Senior brothers, it's time for dinner. Teng Yuanshan's words were like orders, and everyone immediately put down their work and opened the conversation one after another!
"Xiao Teng, why did you come, this is a lot later than usual. ”
"Didn't you steal it on the road, it's your ** sick!"
"That kind of low-level means, Xiao Teng is already tired of playing, he should go to a tryst with the little girl. ”
Everyone is gossiping and saying everything, although it is ridicule, but more of it is the taste of family affection.
"Senior brothers, if you say that, I will be really angry, and I will be hungry for you for a while next time. Teng Yuanshan retorted angrily.
"Oh, I'm still angry, Xiao Teng, don't forget to bring me a pot of good wine next time. The oldest man disagreed, and continued to go his own way.
"This is easy to do, senior brother, you teach me to forge a sword, and the good wine pipe is enough. Tengyuanshan did not hesitate and proposed a quid pro quo.
"Xiao Teng, if you don't have a good heart, you know that you will set up a trap for your senior brother, if Manager Tang agrees, the senior brother will teach you all the skills of forging swords, and there will definitely be no reservations!"
"You are all old and disrespectful, you know that Chief Tang is pressing me, I am the future chief swordsmith, and the day I fly on the branches, I will let you be my quenching master!" Teng Yuanshan made a counterattack without showing weakness!
As an outsider, Mo Yun naturally saw it in his eyes, and with a few simple conversations, he could conclude that the difference between the Sword Casting Hall and the Food Fortune Hall should be a very harmonious place here.
"Xiao Teng, who is behind you!" At this time, someone noticed Mo Yun's existence.
"It's all your fault, you made me happy all day long, and almost forgot about business, senior brothers, our Sword Casting Hall has finally ushered in a newcomer, and I am no longer a junior brother. After finishing speaking, Teng Yuanshan pulled Mo Yun behind him to the front and continued: "Mo Yun, don't you hurry up and meet your senior brothers. ”
When Mo Yun heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and said very measuredly: "Mo Yun, I have met all the senior brothers, and in the future, I will ask you senior brothers to give me more advice!"
Everyone unanimously focused their eyes on Mo Yun's body, and their eyes were more joyful and relieved!
"Young man, yes, behave well, don't be like Xiao Teng, you only know how to flam your tongue all day long!"
"Mo Yun, the name is good, it sounds much smoother than Tengyuan Mountain. ”
"In the future, you will be the person of our Sword Casting Hall, behave well, don't discredit the Sword Casting Hall!"
"It's a good seedling, much more stable than Xiao Teng, I'm optimistic about you!"
Everyone turned on the gossip mode one after another, which was regarded as saying hello to Mo Yun, Mo Yun bowed his hands one by one, and his iconic smile was very in place!
The way he spoke to everyone, Teng Yuanshan had long been immune, acting as an intermediary, introducing everyone to Mo Yun one by one, not to mention, it was really a bit of a senior brother's demeanor!
"You are Mo Yun!" Hearing this voice, everyone turned around one after another and said in unison: "Manager Tang, you are here!"
Although Manager Tang is only in his thirties, he is unusually old and capable, dressed in gray, only well-organized, and his unsmiling face always makes people feel the pressure of nothingness, which is better than Ouyang Shangde, this is Mo Yun's first impression of Manager Tang!
"Chief Manager Tang, in Xia Moyun, came to report to the Sword Casting Hall. Mo Yun then saluted.
"If you come, you will be safe, let's eat first, and the rest will be talked about later. Manager Tang responded simply, signaling everyone not to delay any longer, with Manager Tang's order, everyone put away the playful mentality, sat together, and worked for a long time, really hungry, for a while, the smell of food overflowed!
After he was full of wine and food, Chief Manager Tang came to Mo Yun and ordered, "Mo Yun, you come with me." ”
Mo Yun immediately said: "Mo Yun takes the order!" After respectfully following behind Chief Manager Tang, he saw from a distance that directly opposite the three furnaces, there was a two-story attic, and a huge plaque in the middle of the main entrance had three big characters written on it: "Sword Casting Pavilion." ”
In the Sword Casting Pavilion, Chief Manager Tang calmly sat on the main seat and said directly: "Mo Yun, talk about your first impression of the Sword Casting Hall. ”
After thinking for a moment, Mo Yun said, "It's very mysterious and very shabby!"
"It's so brief, you're the first to say that, but it's also reasonable!" Mr. Tang nodded!
"This is Mo Yun's truth, if it is not thorough, I hope that Manager Tang will forgive me!"
Hearing this, Chief Manager Tang's expression did not change at all, and he continued: "I already know about you, no matter what you did or who you offended before, now in my Sword Casting Hall, you are a blank piece of paper, how you write, it all depends on you, understand?"
"Please rest assured that Manager Tang will start again, and he will put himself in the right position, and strive to get everyone's recognition as soon as possible!" Mo Yun naturally knew the intention in Manager Tang's words, and immediately made his position clear.
"I heard that you came to the Weaving Bureau of your own free will. Manager Tang suddenly changed the topic and pulled on to this.
"Exactly, if you don't pass the retest, it's better to settle for the next best thing than to be empty-handed. Mo Yun replied very calmly.
"No wonder, Manager Zhang is so optimistic about you, and he greeted me in advance and asked me to take care of you, yes, he is indeed a talent, and he has two brushes. ”
Hearing this, a warm current surged in Mo Yun's heart, and he respected Manager Zhang even more!
"Mo Yun, know how to forbear, although you can get unexpected gains, but to change your fate, you can only rely on your own hands, and when you have enough strength, turn your hands into clouds, cover your hands for rain, no one can have any two words!
Hearing this, Mo Yun's heart turned over the river and the sea, what is the deep meaning of Manager Tang's words, or what does it mean, thinking of this, he said slowly: "Manager Tang, Mo Yun comes from a small mountain village, because of an adventure, he opened up a sea of qi, and luckily became a registered disciple of the Seven Stars Temple, Mo Yun's biggest luxury is the safety of himself and his family, in the future, I will strive to become a qualified sword caster, and do my best to serve Chief Tang and the Sword Casting Hall!"
"Mo Yun, Manager Zhang, has the grace of knowing me, if it weren't for his face, to tell you the truth, you would definitely have a lot of small shoes in the Sword Casting Hall!"
"Heaven descends on the people, they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones, Mo Yun understands the truth in this!" Mo Yun replied humbly!
"Understand, you don't understand, if you do, how can you come back to my Sword Casting Hall!" Manager Tang's tone was not as easy-going as before!
"As long as Manager Tang cultivates Mo Yun wholeheartedly, Mo Yun will definitely have a day when he will soar!"
"Why should I cultivate you!" Mr. Tang asked rhetorically!
"Because, Mo Yun can help Manager Tang realize his long-cherished wish for many years!"
Manager Tang's expression moved slightly, he didn't expect Mo Yun to answer like this, pondered for a moment, and said, "Honest and untrustworthy, Mo Yun, you are really bold!"
Mo Yun's expression was still the same, and he continued: "The king's book is old, and in a few years, I'm afraid I will have to return to my hometown, don't you want to take over the vacancy of the king's master's book!"
"What does this have to do with you, now, you are still a sinful body, and you still need my care, what qualifications do you have!"
"I can move to Qianshen and get out of the way!"
Who knew that Manager Tang laughed, his words changed abruptly, and said: "Hahaha, Mo Yun, your performance is qualified, we haven't had a newcomer come in the Sword Casting Hall for a long time, you are welcome to come to the Sword Casting Hall." ”
"Mo Yun, you must perform well and strive to become a swordsmith as soon as possible. ”
"Everyone else has a task, just Tengyuan Mountain is an idler, and the two of you will be together during this time, so you can take care of it. "Chief Manager Tang doesn't seem to have the intention of directly letting Mo Yun learn the sword-forging technique.
Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he also knew that everything had to be done step by step, and he couldn't be in a hurry, just when Mo Yun was stunned, Teng Yuanshan suddenly appeared and said excitedly: "Thank you Manager Tang, just waiting for you to say this." ”
"Senior Brother Teng, when did you come? Mo Yun then turned the topic to Tengyuan Mountain.
"Little junior brother, don't make such a fuss, your senior brother and I have always been elusive. Teng Yuanshan has a tone of a person who has come over!
Manager Tang has long been accustomed to the sudden appearance of Tengyuan Mountain, and said very normally: "Xiao Teng, you are satisfied now, teach him well, don't be greedy!"
"Manager Tang, don't worry, I finally have a little junior brother, of course I will cherish it. Tengyuan Mountain showed his attitude!
"Take him down, and I'll hand Mo Yun over to you. "Manager Tang obviously didn't want to listen to Tengyuan Mountain's ink, so he gave an eviction order.
Before Mo Yun could say goodbye to Chief Manager Tang, he was dragged out of the Sword Casting Pavilion by Tengyuan Mountain.
"Little junior brother, let's go, go and carry your luggage. After leaving the Sword Casting Pavilion, Teng Yuanshan said very enthusiastically.
"Senior Brother Teng, I lived well where I used to be, so I don't have to be so troublesome. ”
"You don't understand this, our Sword Casting Hall is only nominally subordinate to the Weaving Bureau, but it exists independently, and you will understand these later. Teng Yuanshan's tone was unmistakable.
Seeing this, Mo Yun had no choice but to nod, after working hard for most of the day, he finally cleaned up his new home, due to the limited room, Mo Yun and Tengyuan Mountain had to share a room!
