Faced with Supervisor Xuanshui's suggestion, Xue Xianyun suddenly asked Tang Zhao, and everyone was stunned.
Some people reacted quickly and immediately noticed something, staring at the handsome young man next to them in surprise. But most people didn't react for a while and just felt baffled.
Why ask a boy who is not even twenty years old?
"that……"
Two people spoke at the same time, both of which were meaningless words. The female prisoner was surprised and seemed to be at a loss for words, while Tang Zhao was a little embarrassed and seemed to want to find a way to round things off.
Xue Xianyun glared at Tang Zhao and said loudly: "What is 'that'? You are already a serious swordsmith, how can you be so coy? Whether you sign or not is entirely up to you. Just sign if you agree.
, don’t sign if you don’t agree, these are people who are asking for your help, no one can settle a score with you.”
…
This sentence was so straightforward that even a fool could understand it. But everyone really looked at the two of them as if they were stupid.
It wasn't that Tang Zhao was worried about anything, he was really confused by the question. He didn't know Xuanshui Prison very well, so he couldn't answer in a hurry: "I haven't thought about it. I'll give it some thought before I answer, okay?"
The female prisoner stared at this face that looked too young no matter how young she looked. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
At this time, someone said: "Interesting, so this sword with such a powerful momentum was forged by Brother Tang? This young man became the swordsmith this time?"
Xue Xianyun took a look and saw that the speaker was an old woman who he didn't recognize at all standing at the back of the crowd. He was a little strange, but then he proudly announced loudly: "That's right. The swordsmith is my apprentice Tang.
Zhao!"
Although the sound was loud, it was not as loud as thunder, but everyone present really felt like they were struck by lightning.
There was an uproar all around, and the commotion was like a tide, pushing forward row after row, and finally formed a boiling situation on the shore.
Regardless of their position or emotion, everyone present was uncontrollably excited, and they didn't know what they were excited about.
Perhaps, this is a kind of pride that comes from the heart after witnessing history?
In contrast, Yun Xiyan was the most excited and had the most pure feelings. He was so excited for Tang Zhao that he wanted to jump up and down to express his happiness.
At this time, someone yelled at the top of his voice: "Hey, why are you changing to this kid? Didn't you guys at Zhuoyu Villa tell you, Xue Xianyun, to forge swords?"
Xue Xianyun then said: "Of course I forged swords. What's wrong?"
This was another thunder explosion, and everyone was a little dizzy. The broken gong voice was stunned for a moment, and said: "But didn't you just say that your apprentice forged swords?"
Xue Xianyun obviously did not shy away from exchanging words with others, and said loudly: "Yes, I said, now it is my apprentice who forges swords. Didn't you see? Did the sword-making wind just blow your eyes out?
?”
…
The old woman who spoke at the beginning was still in a stable mood and did not make any comments. She said warmly: "So, the owner of the village has already forged the sword? Has it been forged?"
Xue Xianyun smiled and said: "Of course."
The uproar started again, and many people booed in displeasure or even disbelief.
The old woman turned a deaf ear and continued: "But it was Ling Gaozu who successfully forged the sword in front of us just now?"
Xue Xianyun glanced at Tang Zhao and said, "Exactly."
The old woman finally sighed and said: "Then this sword-making conference is..."
Xue Xianyun said without thinking: "Of course it is held for Azhao."
The old woman asked curiously: "Why isn't this held for the two of you? Isn't it a good story that both a good master and an apprentice can forge swords? A double swordsmith is a good story? Even if you made the sword earlier, you can still celebrate together. Forging.
The sword tournament was held for two people at the same time, which was a unique story."
Xue Xianyun said: "That's a good question...why...of course it's me who wants the face! I think my old man has been learning to make swords for thirty years and has been preparing for no less than ten years. In the end, he was timid and missed the opportunity. He failed to forge the sword and had it stolen.
, it was a complete failure. It was easy to take advantage of the apprentice, and I was lucky enough to succeed, but that was just a matter of course. It was not a surprise, at most it was a small comfort. It's good if you know it, why do you have to be so shameless and let others know?
?So the children said they would hold a sword-making competition for me, but I didn’t agree. Just to invite old enemies to come over and slap them in the face? I’m afraid they’d also slap me in the face.”
"I am the only disciple who is a real genius. He prepared the materials with me before, and he had already planned his own sword. I didn't put out the fire in the sword furnace after forging the sword, so I borrowed the fire for him to try.
The sword was made just to give him practice. He had not been cheated, and there was plenty of material left over. There were plenty of opportunities to start over, and failure was also experience. In the end, he succeeded in the first attempt. Isn’t this a genius? Everyone, I’m an old man.
Isn't it worthy of celebration that a young man like Zhaoyang forges a sword by chance? Isn't it worthy of celebration that the youngest swordsmith in recorded history deserves celebration?"
The old woman smiled and said, "It's worth it."
Then, she turned back and said loudly: "Do you think it's worth it?"
Although she had always spoken softly, her voice was so loud now that it shook the mountains. Everyone seemed to be being questioned by the teacher in front of them, and they all replied solemnly: "It's worth it!"
Because, it is worth it.
The girl overheard Xue Xianyun talking about the youngest swordsmith in history, and was slightly stunned. She couldn't remember if this was the youngest swordsmith in history. However, recalling it carefully, it seemed that she really didn't think of the younger swordsmith.
Example. So whether Xue Xianyun really knew this record or just said it casually, there seems to be no way to refute it.
So, just because of this "irrefutable", isn't it worth holding a grand and unprecedented sword-making conference?
So, she shouted: "It's worth it!"
Xue Xianyun didn't expect that he had already responded to everything without spending any words. He felt that he had never been so beautiful in so many years, and he said happily: "Okay, since everyone said it was worth it, then please come to the venue. There are flowers over there.
Wine, what’s so interesting about these broken stones? Even if you want to admire the place where the sword was made, you have to wait until the place is cleaned before people can visit it."
At this time, the disciples came up, led the way according to the established procedures, and said to the guests: "Please come this way, the venue is ready."
Everyone left one after another, but before leaving, they all took a deep look at Tang Zhao.
In terms of appearance, Tang Zhao is by no means "not amazing", but given his age and position, he is still in the background behind the teacher. But everyone knows in their hearts that this young and over-the-top swordsmith
Teacher, from today on, he is no longer a "young man with a bright future" or a "young hero", but has truly stepped onto the stage and has his own place in the world. It can even be said that he has a legend of his own.
.
This is really...sentimental.
Not to mention how the old enemy Xue Xianyun was gnashing his teeth and hating the old man for his good luck. Even the sages who had stayed out of the matter had thought more and considered changing their stance. Maybe they should be more proactive. The female juvenile prisoner was in accordance with the
Arrangements were made to go to the venue first, but before leaving, he said sternly: "Young Master Tang is the backbone of future swordsmiths. Please be sure to enter the swordsmithing book and set an example for the younger generation."
She seemed to want to pull Tang Zhao to say a few more sincere words, but there was a black widow looking at her with a half-smile, which reminded her of some unpleasant things in Jichun City, so she finally turned around and left.
As for those who were familiar with Tang Zhao, they were naturally even more delighted. Yun Xiyan jumped over Xue Xianyun and Tang Zhao and hugged him, saying: "As expected of my big brother! I know you are not a bad person."
Wang Fei, Ju Tianxuan, Wu Yunfei, Chu Shanxia, Che Sha and other contemporaries also gathered around to congratulate. Black Widow just smiled and nodded, and Guan Lei was among the crowd but stood out. These were all in Heyang County.
Because they were all elders, their relatives and friends did not actively participate in the congratulations of the younger generation. Mrs. Huarong did bring the young people with her, but she did not get close. After congratulating her, she chatted with Xue Yeyu and left, vaguely listening to her asking again.
After all, her daughter's situation is the first priority in her heart.
After the younger generation talked to Tang Zhao, they also left for the banquet, but one person stayed, naturally Xing Ji. When he came to Tang Zhao, he grabbed his shoulders and squeezed him.
Tang Zhao succeeded in forging the sword, and met so many relatives and friends in one breath. He naturally smiled constantly, and was even more happy when he saw Xing Ji. Just when he was about to speak, he was startled and said: "You...what else can you say?"
Naturally, this was not said to Xing Ji, but to the person behind him. Xing Ji turned his head and saw that the old woman behind him had not left yet, and his expression froze slightly.
The old woman looked at Tang Zhao with a smile and said: "I have one more thing to say to Sword Master Tang. It's really good. Since ancient times, heroes have been born in young men, and from now on it will be the era of you young people." After that, she left with a smile.
Tang Zhao felt a little inexplicable, but he was always happy when he received praise. When he turned his head, he saw Xing Ji looking strange and said: "Mr. Xing, do you know her?"
Xing Ji sighed: "Can I not recognize it? It's just that she didn't tell me, so I can't tell you. Let's not talk about it for now. Come on, let me see your sword first."
Tang Zhao smiled and presented the dark golden sword.
The sword he forged is naturally his sword and no one else's.
Xingji looked at the sword carefully from the tip to the scabbard, but he did not pull out the sword - it was not something he could pull out. He admired it repeatedly and said: "It's a really good sword. Although I didn't pull it out, I
It can be imagined that it is not inferior to any world-famous sword. I look forward to the day when its sword shines brightly on Kyushu."
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Very soon."
Xing Ji said: "You are not being humble. That's right, there is nothing to be humble about. If you are still humble, others are even breathing wrong, so you have to leave others a way to survive. I just heard that you are the one who is forging swords.
At that time, I was shocked."
Tang Zhaodao: "That was also unplanned. I suddenly had the urge to give it a try, and Master indulged me. Otherwise, it would never have happened so quickly, and it would have been delayed for a year and a half. Moreover, the process was very complicated this time.
It went smoothly. It went smoothly beyond my expectation."
Xing Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What kind of success do you mean? Internally or externally?"
Tang Zhao replied solemnly: "You know - they all exist."
