As more and more snakes appeared, the old man's expression naturally became more and more serious. Even his forehead had beads of sweat dripping from time to time. Standing aside, Chen Chao probably knew that it was extremely critical to recast the broken sword at this moment.
When I saw it, I held my breath and looked at it, but I didn't make any sound.
The old man kept turning his fingers, picking out thin snakes from the molten iron, and then threw them into the ground. Chen Chao couldn't help but take a look, only to see that the thin snakes that fell to the ground seemed to be still alive and were squirming.
Chen Chao knelt down and observed carefully.
The old man ignored him, but his whole mind was on the thin snakes in front of him. As a swordsmith, he can be said to be very good at flying swords. This was the first time he made a broken sword. Although all sects have the same origin,
The differences are so intricate that even if you want to explain them clearly, you can't explain them clearly. He can only do many things based on experience. During the entire process, there are countless times when he needs to make on-the-spot judgments.
Chen Chao reached out to touch one of the thin snakes, but the moment he touched it, Chen Chao couldn't help but retract his fingers. This was because the temperature of this thin snake was too high, much higher than the previous temperature in the furnace.
"These unnecessary things can probably be used to make a dagger later. Do you want it?"
The old man seemed to have finally understood the thin snakes in front of him, and then he had some free time, and slowly said, "Although it cannot be regarded as a flying sword, its toughness is the best in the world. It is also suitable for peeling fruits and so on."
.”
Chen Chao nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, senior."
The old man sighed: "I really didn't know it was such a troublesome thing at the time. Now it seems that even if the knife is cast, half of my life will be gone."
Chen Chao smiled and said, "Isn't there only one senior in the world who has this ability?"
The old man smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with what you said. If I die, no one will be able to repair your broken sword."
Chen Chao said with a smile: "So, doesn't it mean that arriving early is worse than arriving by chance?"
"It's just for the sake of that thousand-year-old stone, otherwise I wouldn't even bother to look at a warrior like you."
The old man reached out and threw the green bamboo that Chen Chao had chopped into the stove, his face looking better.
Chen Chao nodded and said with a smile: "Only a warrior like Your Majesty can enter the eyes of seniors."
"You kid, do you have to talk like this? Are you afraid that I will accidentally miss it in the middle of the job?"
The old man glanced at Chen Chao. He could not say that he liked this young warrior whom he had known for a short time, but he definitely would not dislike him. Even though Chen Chao had brought some not very good things to Jianqi Mountain before, he had experienced so much.
There are many storms, and after living for so many years, the old man naturally doesn't care too much.
"Does a master swordsmith like Senior not have his own ethics? I can't believe it when I say this." Chen Chao looked at the old man with a smile. When it comes to talking skills, I am afraid that among the young monks of this generation, almost
No one can match Chen Chao.
The old man sneered and said, "Don't flatter me. Go and guard the door. I'll be silent from now on and don't let anyone in."
"What if something happens to senior inside?"
"roll!"
"OK."
Chen Chao nodded, stood up immediately, came to the door of the hut, closed the door, sat on the chair where the old man had been sitting, and then rubbed his brows. These days, although it is not his turn to do anything about forging knives, but just
The things he was asked to do had already exhausted him physically and mentally. If the old man hadn't given instructions at this moment, Chen Chao would have simply closed his eyes and had a good sleep.
But at this moment, although Chen Chao was tired, he was still looking forward to what the recasting of the Broken Sword would be like.
The broken knife was already used so easily. Once the knife was reforged, Chen Chao estimated that it would become even more convenient.
There are countless sword cultivators in the world, and naturally there are many sword immortals. They always say that this one is powerful and that one has high killing power, but in fact, not only are there not many monks who use swords, but it seems that there are not even those who are famous for it?
Chen Chao shook his head and sighed softly: "This world can wait a little longer."
…
…
In fact, many swordsmiths did not want to see Li Heng staying in the mountain, but after all, he was the special envoy of Emperor Liang. He represented Emperor Liang. If he wanted to blatantly drive him down the mountain, he would be really eating into the heart of a leopard.
Da Liang, after all, the will of Emperor Liang has come before, and no one wants to see this Emperor appear in Jianqi Mountain again.
As the owner of the mountain, Mrs. Yang didn't know whether she had such a plan or because she was afraid of Emperor Liang. She arranged a very good residence for Li Heng. It was a bamboo building with a beautiful scenery. The green bamboo used in the bamboo building was also from that piece of bamboo.
It is cut from the bamboo sea, so when the wind blows, the whole bamboo building will make different sounds one after another. In fact, people feel very comfortable when they hear it.
Li Heng stood under the eaves of the bamboo building, looking at the mountain master of Jianqi Mountain who came here slowly today, and said with a smile: "If possible, I would like to take some green bamboos with me when I leave.
A bamboo tower will also be built in the city, and I think Your Majesty will like it very much."
It is actually not easy to ask for something. No matter how you say it, it is all knowledge. However, Li Heng seemed so direct, so Mrs. Yang could only give a straightforward answer about whether it was okay or not.
"If Jianqi Mountain is mentioned again in this world, I'm afraid it will be said that Jianqi Mountain has no spine."
Mrs. Yang said with emotion: "Mr. Li wants to know that whether you do many things in your lifetime has nothing to do with whether you want to or not. The gossip of outsiders can greatly affect the outcome of things."
Li Heng smiled and said: "If you spend a lot of money to buy it, do you dare to sell Jianqi Mountain? Or do you dare to sell it blatantly?"
Mrs. Yang was silent for a moment and did not answer the question immediately. She just said instead: "Your Majesty doesn't seem to like leaving any room for others."
Li Heng smiled and said: "Your Majesty has not had many leeway in this life. At first, he just wanted to be a vassal king, but there are also people who don't want your Majesty to live. They are already dead, so there is no leeway."
"Probably only a close minister of the Emperor like Mr. Li would dare to say such a thing." Mrs. Yang glanced at Li Heng. He had always treated this seemingly ordinary servant with caution.
"There are no ministers close to the emperor. In your majesty's eyes, I am just a closer servant. When you are an official in the Liang Dynasty, some people think about fame and fortune. Therefore, these people have always been ministers in your majesty's eyes, but I am lucky.
Some of them have been with His Majesty for a long time and have a closer relationship, so naturally they can talk about something."
Li Heng said with a smile: "A monk like Shanzhu is naturally unwilling to admit that he is a citizen of Daliang, nor is he willing to admit that your majesty is the co-owner of the world, but these are not important in fact. The world is so big and there are so many people, and your majesty also
I can’t take care of it, let alone don’t want to take care of it.”
Mrs. Yang asked: "In that case, what is Mr. Li doing on Jianqi Mountain?"
Li Heng smiled and said nothing this time. He just walked out from under the eaves, walked a few steps, stood under a tree, stretched out his hand to pick off a leaf, and said with a smile: "It's just a leaf, the mountain owner won't care.
The tree won't care even if you think about it, but the person who wants it will naturally care."
Mrs. Yang remained silent.
Li Heng suddenly said with emotion: "After all these years of operating overseas, we, Daliang, are still very lucky, and we still have some gains. That thousand-year-old stone is such a good thing. It's a pity that our Majesty is just a martial artist and doesn't use a sword."
Mrs. Yang looked at the tree and said nothing. The two of them seemed to be just chatting, but in fact everyone knew that they were never talking about the leaf, nor about the so-called insignificant things.
Mrs. Yang said softly: "There are too many things in the world like this. People who need them can't get them, but there are many people who don't need them."
Li Heng shook his head and said: "Whose hand is the thing in? But it is not always in your hand. You can take it out as long as you want."
Mrs. Yang said: "This involves rumors again."
Li Heng was silent for a while and said: "Looking at it from this point of view, a person like your Majesty is really amazing."
Mrs. Yang did not refute, but just said: "But how many people are like this, Your Majesty?"
Li Heng did not speak, but just waved to Mrs. Yang. The two sat down on the bamboo chair under the tree. Then Li Heng said: "In
After leaving Mount Li, the imperial court will send a batch of supplies to Jianqi Mountain for free. It is regarded as compensation for Jianqi Mountain and can also be regarded as a gift. The owner of the mountain can do whatever he wants. Anyway, His Majesty will not say anything."
Mrs. Yang frowned and was about to speak.
But Li Heng took the lead and said: "The things will definitely arrive at Jianqi Mountain. As for whether the mountain owner will accept it or not, the mountain owner will not be allowed to decide, but the mountain owner will be informed."
When he said this, Li Heng suddenly remembered what His Majesty said before he left the capital city and was still in the imperial city.
"Who calls this world Chen?"
In fact, if you think about it carefully now, it's not who calls the world Chen, but who calls the current emperor His Majesty.
Your Majesty is so overbearing.
But who said this was his Majesty? Li Heng didn't think it was inappropriate, on the contrary, he thought it was just right.
"Your Majesty really doesn't like to leave room for others."
Mrs. Yang sighed again, but this time there was a lot of bitterness in her words, and Li Heng could hear it.
"Your Majesty has not done everything right, but there is still room for improvement. The mountain owner still has a choice."
Li Heng said this, but there was still half of the sentence hidden in his mouth and not spoken out.
Mrs. Yang really couldn't say anything at the moment, she could only remain silent. Facing such an emperor, what else could he do?
Li Heng suddenly asked: "How long will it take for this kid to make a knife?"
Mrs. Yang shook her head, "I don't know, but I guess it will take a long time."
Li Heng nodded and said with a smile: "The mountain master still has plenty of time."
Mrs. Yang looked at Li Heng and smiled helplessly.
Li Heng said seriously: "There is something I hope I don't have to say before I go down the mountain."
