In the Furnace Fort Fire God Temple, Jian Lingxiao was pacing anxiously with his hands behind his back.

After a while, Jian Yinghao rushed into the Fire God Temple and shouted, "Dad!

Jian Lingxiao said unhappily: "What's the matter! ”

In the past few days, martial arts people from all walks of life have been snooping in the Crucible Fort repeatedly, which has made Jian Lingxiao feel very bad in the past few days, so that his tone is a little harsh.

"What happened?"

Jian Yinghao saw that his father was inexplicably angry, and he was also a little aggrieved, and said: "Dad, those people who came to spy on him touched the Jianlu. ”

Jian Lingxiao exclaimed: "What!"

He took a few steps forward and grabbed his son's shoulders and shouted, "How is the fire qilin?" ”

Jian Lingxiao is not as idle and pampered as his son Jian Yinghao, and he naturally has an extraordinary strength when he casts blades all year round, and Jian Yinghao's shoulder grabbed by Jian Lingxiao was faintly painful, and he bared his teeth and said: "Dad, let go, my son's arm is about to break." ”

Waiting until Jian Lingxiao's grip was looser, he took a breath and said, "The fire qilin was not stolen, but it ......"

As soon as Jian Lingxiao heard that the fire qilin was fine, he relaxed a little and said, "The fire qilin is fine, but what?"

Jian Yinghao said: "But among those thieves, there is one who is very skilled, the guards guarding the fire unicorn did not capture him, and he was run out by this person, I am afraid that the place of the fire unicorn has been exposed, dad, you ...... look."

Jian Lingxiao knew what his son meant, but at this time, the 'Fire Qilin' had reached the final stage of building, how could it be transferred casually, and once the furnace fire was broken, it might fall short.

But if the fire unicorn is not removed, these people will be like moths to the fire, constantly going to the sword house to watch, according to the sword punishment of the lord of the previous generation, that is, the casting of the divine book passed down by Jian Lingxiao's father before his death, the current 'fire qilin' is in the most critical stage of cultivating the gods, if the craftsmen who refine it are disturbed by these people and there is something wrong, the best result of refining the 'fire qilin' is just a murder weapon, and it cannot become a psychic artifact refined by the sword punishment heaven back then.

There is even a great possibility that the casting will fail, and when the time comes, not only will the generals on the rivers and lakes be missing a divine soldier, but even the top and bottom of the furnace fort will be angered by Jiang Jingzhong, the governor of the East Factory, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Jian Lingxiao frowned and thought for a long time, and finally spoke: "Yinghao, you go and invite Master Lu Xiu, and go to the backyard to tell your sister Jian Wu, let her not go to the Jianlu during this time, and stay in her room honestly, Yinghao, you too, don't walk around after nightfall, if something really happens, your father may not protect you." ”

Sword Yinghao responded, turned around and walked out of the Fire God Temple.

After a while, a thin old man with white hair and crooked eyes walked into the Vulcan Hall tremblingly.

This Lu Xiu was dressed in a dirty black robe, with a smoky smell all over his body, and his two eyes were slanted in one direction, which made people look very uncomfortable.

If ordinary people saw Lu Xiu, they would only think that he was a bad old man who was halfway buried in the loess, but when Jian Lingxiao saw Lu Xiu coming in, he hurriedly got up from his seat and stepped forward to greet him.

Lu Xiu's evil eyes swept over Jian Ling Xiao without a look, and said lightly: "Ling Xiao, what is the matter with you calling me?"

Senior Jian Lingxiao said: "Old Lu, you sit down first......

Lu Xiu frowned and said unhappily: "What are you sitting on, there are still a bunch of things to do over there in the Jianlu, just say what you have to do." ”

Although Jian Lingxiao is the lord of the Furnace Castle, he has no way to deal with the Lu Xiu in front of him.

This Lu Xiu is nearly eighty years old this year, and he is the oldest person in the Crucible Castle, and it is rumored that Jian Lingxiao's father, Jian Xingtian, also learned the casting art under Lu Xiu's teaching, regardless of these qualifications, Lu Xiu is the most brilliant swordsmith in the Crucible Fort, but a pair of godless evil eyes can see through the mysteries between weapons.

This time, the Furnace Fort cast the 'Fire Qilin' spear, claiming to be forged by the Furnace Fort master Sword Ling Xiao himself, in fact, what Jian Ling Xiao did was only the initial work, and the real key part was personally responsible for the sloppy looking Lu Xiu in front of him.

Seeing that Lu Xiu was unwilling to do it, Jian Lingxiao did not dare to disobey, so he respectfully sent a cup of tea.

Lu Xiu took the tea bowl from Jian Lingxiao's hand and drank it all, the pale green tea juice of Longjing earlier fell down Lu Xiu's yellow and white beard, and Jian Lingxiao sighed when he saw it.

He fixed his mind and said: "Lu Lao, how is the 'Fire Qilin' cast now." ”

Lu Xiu said expressionlessly: "Everything is normal, if nothing happens, the furnace can be sealed after the three of them, but whether it can reach the level of the pair of divine swords cast by your father back then depends on God's will." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiu suddenly frowned and said: "Ling Xiao, since you became the castle master, the level of forging has not improved much, after so many years, let alone catching up with your father's sword punishment, I am afraid that most of you are not as good as the craftsmanship of the volley back then, the gun tire of the fire unicorn you cast can only be regarded as so-so, and the toughness of that good piece of cold iron ore has not been completely tempered......"

As soon as Jian Lingxiao heard that Lu Xiu was about to start preaching again, in fact, although Jian Lingxiao's casting skills at this time were far inferior to his father's Sword Xingtian, let alone on a par with Lu Xiu in front of him, and even the skills of his brother Sword Volley, who had escaped from the Crucible Castle more than twenty years ago, could not be compared.

But at this time, he can be regarded as a first-class casting master in the rivers and lakes, not as unbearable as Lu Xiu said, what worries Jian Lingxiao is his son Jian Yinghao, for fear that Lu Xiu in front of him will open the conversation box and start preaching.

Jian Lingxiao hurriedly interrupted: "Old Lu, how is the black unicorn forged?"

Lu Xiu's scattered eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and he asked, "Ling Xiao, what happened in the castle?"

Lu Xiu has been concentrating on casting the 'Fire Qilin' in the Sword Castle during this time, not to mention that the Sword Castle is in the extreme depths of the Furnace Castle, and there are a large number of guards to protect it, so he knows that Lu Xiu still doesn't know that the entire Furnace Castle is about to become a mess.

Jian Lingxiao didn't dare to hide this matter from Lu Xiu in the slightest, and told Lu Xiu what had happened in the fort for the past few days.

Lu Xiu groaned: "Who is that guy who touched the sword house, Ling Xiao, have you found out?"

Jian Lingxiao said embarrassedly: "This group of people has strange skills, the leader seems to be very good at kung fu, and the other few who were caught also committed suicide on the spot, and nothing useful was found on their bodies." ”

Lu Xiu heard this: "In this way, I'm afraid that some forces are eyeing our Crucible Castle." ”

Then the conversation changed and said: "Ling Xiao, that black unicorn, we are almost ready, and those with slightly poor eyesight will definitely not be able to see the difference, what are you going to do?"

Jian Lingxiao said: "One of the people who touched the sword house before escaped, I'm afraid that they will come to spy on it again in the future, thinking so...... So...... When you can hide people's eyes. ”

Lu Xiu nodded as he listened, and waited until Jian Lingxiao finished speaking before he said, "You can do these things, Lingxiao, the Crucible Castle is now your master." ”

Then he paused, "I just hope you think twice before you do things, this crucible is not where it is today. ”

After that, he returned to the Fire God Temple, and returned to the Sword House to continue refining the Fire Qilin.

After Jian Lingxiao saw Lu Xiu leaving, he ordered someone to go to the place where the black unicorn was stored, took out the black unicorn, and instructed his subordinates how to deal with it.

Only then did he leave the Fire God Temple and go to find Nan Tianba and these people from the East Factory.

However, it is said that since Nan Tianba hit Lunan Furnace Castle, he often used various excuses to make things difficult for Jian Lingxiao's father and son in the early days, and only after Jian Lingxiao gave him a heavy bribe did he slowly stop.

Hiding in the courtyard prepared for them by Jian Lingxiao all day long, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, not to mention how happy the days were.

At this time, Nan Tianba was gathering a group of Jinyi guards' subordinates in the room, opened the card game, gambled happily, and saw Jian Lingxiao coming, and affectionately invited Jian Lingxiao to play two hands together.

Where did Jian Lingxiao have such a mood at this time.

Originally, Jian Lingxiao's idea was to use the east wind to create a 'fire unicorn' for Jiang Jingzhong, the prince of Dongchang Factory, and use the power of Dongchang Jinyiwei to take the opportunity to suppress the martial arts forces that had gaps with the Furnace Fort.

Which Cheng thought that he overestimated the importance that Jiang Jingzhong, the governor of Dongchang Factory, attached to this 'fire unicorn', at this time, Jiang Jingzhong's power was subdued by hundreds of officials in the government and the opposition, as if he was the uncrowned king, and the tributes prepared for Shenzong Wanli were thousands of for him to choose, this 'fire unicorn' was a first-class event in the eyes of the Furnace Fort swordsman, and in Jiang Jingzhong's eyes, it was just a relatively delicate plaything, and it was not worth his trouble.

Ken sent Nan Tianba to come with dozens of brocade guards to help, and he already felt that he had given enough face to the Lunan Sword family.

And since Nan Tianba came to Lunan, it seems that his heart is all tied to collecting wealth and feasting, and he is not very concerned about the 'fire qilin' in the furnace castle.

Jian Lingxiao was at a loss in his heart, and said, "General Nan, Jian Mou came today to discuss important matters, and I also ask the general to move." ”

At this time, Nan Tianba was in a hurry, and he easily got down from the village, and said disapprerovitously: "If the Sword Castle Lord has anything to say, just say it, the brothers here are not outsiders." ”

Jian Lingxiao saw that the people in the room were all the brocade-clothed guards brought by Nan Tianba, so he said it straightforwardly and said: "General Nan, the divine soldier 'Fire Qilin' cast by Jiang Dugong ordered the castle to be completed soon, but it is just ......."

As soon as Nan Tianba heard that the 'Fire Qilin' was about to be completed, he had already gotten a lot of oil and water from the Sword Family when he came to the Furnace Castle this time, and although he gambled with his Jinyi Wei in the room all day long, it was not as good as the nourishment he had in Shuntian Mansion, thinking that once the 'Fire Qilin' was completed, he would be able to return to Shuntian Mansion and spend all his time drinking and secretly rejoicing.
