After paying the bill and walking out of the inn, Dong Zhang walked towards the north of the city.
Today's era does not have as many high-tech aids as later generations. As long as you know the operating principles, anyone can easily get started. There is a complete industrial production chain.
Many things cannot be made here without talent or craftsmanship. The sword of Goujian, the king of Yue in later generations, has been sleeping in the ancient tombs in Jingzhou for more than two thousand years. After being unearthed, it still has broken hair and is extremely sharp. Among the terracotta warriors and horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, there is an unknown ancient sword.
The sword was bent 45 degrees by a pottery figurine weighing 150 kilograms. It was unknown how many years it had gone through, but when the staff removed the pottery figurine, the sword recovered automatically. This kind of memory metal is extremely incredible even in later generations.
.
And which of these famous swords and sharp weapons were made by mediocre hands? Naturally, they were all smelted and cast by extremely talented craftsmen. The black iron heavy sword that Dongzhang is currently holding is made of the rarest Tianwai in the world.
It was forged from black iron, and the original owner was Dugu Qiubai, whom Dong Zhang admired very much. How could Dong Zhang let the black iron epee be smelted and cast by mediocre hands.
Not to mention that they are not able to smelt the black iron sword at all. Even if they can smelt Dongzhang, they are afraid that they will destroy the black iron sword. Where will Dongzhang cry when the time comes?
Now that Leng Buding has heard about a very capable blacksmith, Dongzhang will naturally not let him go. It doesn't matter whether Qihou is a cheating second-rate man or not. As long as the information is true, it is worth Dongzhang's trip. He doesn't care about the white cat.
Black cat, any cat that can catch mice is a good cat, so Dongzhang doesn't mind whether the person giving money is a good person, as long as it cheats him, even if your relatives are Wujue, their legs will still be lame for you, where can you hide?
It's no use, now Dongzhang has this confidence.
Dong Zhang just carried the Black Iron Sword and walked all the way to the north outside Xiangyang City. After walking for twenty or thirty miles, he gradually saw a small village coming into view. This should be the village that the old boy was talking about.
Alright.
Walking all the way to the village, Zhang Dong saw two little kids holding wooden swords and gesticulating in a hahaha manner. He smiled silently. Zhang Dong walked up to the two of them and asked, "Hey, kids, what about your village?"
Is there a man named Gongsun?"
The older boy put away the wooden sword in a dignified manner, looked at Dongzhang curiously, thought for a moment and said, "Are you here to make a sword for Uncle Gongsun?"
Touching his head in surprise, Dongzhang asked: "How do you know?"
"Hey, people like you come to Uncle Gongsun from time to time in our village and ask him to make swords, but it's no use. Brother, you should go back. Uncle Gongsun won't help you make swords. Maybe you can return it later.
I will be kicked out by Ah Gang." The boy said in a pretentious and old-fashioned way.
Hehe, a little kid is a big kid. Zhang Dong heard two pieces of information from the boy's words. First, there was indeed a man named Gongsun here who could also forge. Second, the Marquis of Qi not only sold this information to himself,
He also sold it to many people, so people often came to this person with the surname Gongsun to ask for a sword.
Very good, as long as the news is true, Dongzhang took out the dried meat he always kept in his arms and threw it to the boy in front of him and smiled: "How did you know that I would be kicked out by him? They are them and I am me, brother."
Lead the way and keep your little eyes open for a while."
The kid immediately beamed after taking the dried meat thrown by Dongzhang. He couldn't hide the happiness on his face. Dongzhang looked at it and laughed in his heart, "Little brat."
The kid broke the dried meat in half and gave it to his timid friend next to him. Then he bit into the dried meat and said disdainfully: "Don't believe it. If you get beaten later, don't blame me for not warning you. You didn't listen to the old man's words."
The disadvantage is..."
"Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you up right now. I like to bully children the most." The child, who was pretending to be an adult and spoke in an adult tone, was interrupted by Dongzhang's sinister smile before he could finish his words.
"Uh..." The child shrank back and took two steps back in fear, but still said with a pinched neck: "I'm not afraid of you, I want to be a hero in the future."
"Huh? You are determined not to give up your butt, are you?" Dongzhang snorted.
"Tch, you're not a hero if you bully a child. Since the meat is quite delicious, I'll send you there." The little kid who was devouring the meat still said stiffly, but he also knew very well that
As a man who can stretch and bend, it is not shameful to surrender to the other party's lust for a moment, so he clears the way with another friend and leads Dongzhang towards the village.
A kid is a kid. Dong Zhang followed the two of them in a funny way and walked slowly towards the village. The further they walked, the more remote they became. They were already a long way away from the village. They came to a small river all the way. Here is
A large bamboo forest and an elegantly decorated bamboo house with its back to the river came into view. There were also many chickens and ducks in the yard.
Opposite the yard, there was a cold-faced swordsman squatting by the bamboo forest. He was holding a long sword and looked coldly at Dongzhang and the others as they walked slowly. Looking at the cold-faced swordsman curiously, Dongzhang asked: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Are you also here to ask for a sword?"
"Hmph." The lonely swordsman snorted and turned around without answering.
"Hey, you have quite a temper." Dongzhang said happily.
"Uncle Gongsun! We have a visitor!" At this time, the little boy had already opened the courtyard gate first and ran in with his friends, shouting.
Seeing this, Dongzhang had no time to continue talking to the swordsman. He just walked straight to the courtyard door and waited quietly for the owner to appear. After the child's voice rang, he heard a strong voice coming from the back room: "
Is he Xiaohu? Why did he bring some shady person to uncle's place?"
As soon as the sound rang out, Dongzhang who was standing outside the courtyard gate frowned slightly, his tone sounded difficult, while the arrogant swordsman not far away sneered and silently laughed at Dongzhang's ignorance.
As soon as he finished speaking, two men walked out of the back room. The leader was a man with a strong build and a full beard. He was about forty to fifty years old, followed closely by a man in his thirties.
, with a dull expression, holding a long sword in his arms and following the leader of the strong man every step of the way.
The little brat still had some professional ethics and knew the essence of eating people with short tongues and taking people with soft hands. He ran up to the strong man, pulled his sleeves and pointed at Dongzhang outside the door and said: "Uncle Gongsun,
He wants to make weapons from you."
As soon as the child finished speaking, Zhang Dong, who was leaning by the courtyard door, immediately stood up and walked into the courtyard. He cupped his hands with the strong man and said, "I have heard that Mr. Gongsun's forging skills are astonishing to the heavens. I have the guts to pay him a visit."
The strong man waved his hand impatiently and said politely: "I don't know where you heard this from, but I don't know how to forge, let alone make swords. You can go."
"...."
"Senior, I am here this time..."
"A Gang, see you off." Before Zhang Dong could finish his words, the strong man waved the guest away mercilessly.
"Yes, sir." The dull-looking swordsman behind the strong man stepped out in front of Dong Zhang and said coldly: "Please."
Although he hit a snag, how could Dongzhang just go back home? He hadn't accomplished anything yet, so he walked around the dull swordsman and walked towards the strong man.
Zheng!!
The long sword was unsheathed, and a cold light slanted towards Dong Zhang, but it was this swordsman with a dull expression who drew the sword.
Hey, he was still in high spirits. Dongzhang took a small step backward to avoid the sweeping sword edge, and the black iron sword wrapped in a long cloth in his hand hit the swordsman on the head.
Dongzhang struck so fast that even the dull swordsman who was his opponent didn't even realize that the long strip of cloth had reached the top of his head and stopped in front of his forehead. The violent wind howled and blew his hair away, Didi
Cold sweat broke out from the dull swordsman's head.
Dongzhang turned his wrist and retracted the black iron sword. When the swordsman retracted his sword and turned around, the black iron heavy sword hit the swordsman's chest again. The dull swordsman's pupils suddenly dilated and he quickly raised his sword to block.
when!!
There was a sound of weapons clashing, and the dull swordsman was slapped by Dongzhang and flew away like an arrow. His back smashed two wooden tables with farm products, but he couldn't stop his momentum and went straight to
The fence in the yard flew away.
boom!!
The fence in the courtyard was smashed by the dull swordsman, and a gap was broken. He knelt down on one knee with his long sword on the ground and kept coughing out bright red blood. At this moment, he was staring at Dongzhang in the courtyard in horror for a long time without saying a word.
The strong man who was the owner of the yard looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief: "You...you..."
"I've already said that I don't have any ill intentions in coming here this time. You have to do it." Dongzhang shrugged and said.
He glanced coldly at the dull swordsman who was still coughing up blood at this moment. He turned back and looked at the strong man who was still shocked and said: "I came to you today to ask for something. Normally, someone would dare to use a sword on me."
, he has been dead for a long time, the reason why he is still alive now..."
Dongzhang pointed at the strong man in front of him and continued: "That's because of you. It was the face I gave you that saved him..."
