"I know that this ability to settle down and make a living cannot be taught lightly."
Cao Yue said with an uneasy look, "But Uncle Peng and the people in the village often get injured when they go hunting in the mountains. If I can learn to heal their injuries, then they won't die because of their injuries..."
Cao Yue's face turned red. He knew that his request was too much. He had heard Mr. Shu say before that in many places, if you want to learn a skill, you have to be an apprentice for many years to even have the slightest chance.
Uncle Peng was so seriously injured before, and then this uncle took action and recovered in an instant.
This kind of skill is simply amazing. What price do you have to pay to learn this kind of skill?
Even though Cao Yue was just a rural boy, he knew that he couldn't afford that kind of price.
But thinking that people in the village would die every year because of injuries and lack of treatment, Cao Yue couldn't help but start to ask Zhou for forgiveness.
"Uncle, I don't have money now, but I can work hard to do whatever you ask for, uncle. I-"
Cao Yue said with a blush on his face.
"No need."
Zhou Shu smiled and shook his head, "I can understand your desire to learn skills for the safety of the villagers."
"But I'm sorry, Brother Cao, you can't learn this skill."
"Uncle, I can really do everything. I can do laundry, cooking, making beds, and making quilts."
Cao Yue said anxiously, "I heard people say that if you want to learn a skill, you have to help others. I can do any job, and I am not afraid of hardship-"
"That's not what I meant."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "I mean, you can't learn this skill."
"If it's just to help the people in the village, I have other skills that I can teach you."
Before Zhou Shu finished speaking, a figure rushed in.
"Xiao Yue!"
The person who came was surprisingly Peng Jiuyuan.
With an angry look on his face, he waited for Cao Yue to say, "Get out of here!"
He shouted.
Cao Yue was startled and felt at a loss.
"Uncle Peng——"
Zhou Shu couldn't see it and said.
Peng Jiuyuan turned around suddenly and looked at Zhou Shu.
"You promised me not to involve him!"
Peng Jiuyuan said in a deep voice, "I am an old man, I can do anything, but Xiao Yue is still young!"
"Uncle Peng, you misunderstood."
Zhou Shu said helplessly, he was no longer a human being inside and outside.
For many years, no one dared to talk to him like this.
If this were in the ancestral land, I don’t know how many people would want to worship him.
When he arrived at Peng Jiuyuan's place, he was afraid that Cao Yue would have too much contact with him.
He didn't know what kind of opportunity this was for Cao Yue.
However, Zhou Shu also understood Peng Jiuyuan’s thoughts.
Cao Yue is the only bloodline of Peng Jiuyuan's friend, and Peng Jiuyuan regards Zhou Shu as a villain who wants to overthrow Zhu Rongtian. Having too much contact with Zhou Shu will definitely be dangerous.
Peng Jiuyuan does not want Cao Yue to have a relationship with Zhou Shu, which is reasonable.
It's just that he really thought wrong.
"Brother Cao, he just wants to learn medical skills so that when you are injured in the future, he can help you heal."
Zhou Shu shrugged and said, "It's a pity that I don't know medical skills. So I rejected Brother Cao."
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Peng Jiuyuan's face. He looked at Cao Yue and asked, "Is that so?"
Cao Yue nodded quickly.
"Didn't I tell you? Your Uncle Cao is injured and needs to recuperate. Don't disturb him!"
Peng Jiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but still kept a straight face and scolded, "Is it that you don't have to listen to what I say?"
"I——"
Cao Yue stammered, not knowing what to say.
"You go out first, I have something to say to your Uncle Cao!"
Peng Jiuyuan said with a cold face.
Cao Yue went out dejectedly, while Zhou Shu shook his head speechlessly.
"I said Peng Jiuyuan, you don't need to guard me like a thief."
Zhou Shu and Peng Jiuyuan were the only two people left in the room. Zhou Shu spoke without any scruples, "You and Cao Yue are my saviors. I always repay kindness and I will not harm you." "Sir, I believe what you said is true, but I have also lived for decades and have seen a lot of things. You are both big shots. Xiao Yue and I are just ordinary villagers. To you big shots,
An insignificant wave, for those of us, may be like a huge wave, which is too small for others to bear."
Peng Jiuyuan said seriously, "Sir, Xiao Yue is not of the Peng family, and he has nothing to do with Heaven."
"I can die for you, sir. I just ask you not to involve Xiao Yue."
What Peng Jiuyuan said was extremely heroic.
Zhou Shu's heart was filled with speechlessness.
He, Zhou Shu, has nothing to do with Heaven, right?
When he arrived at Zhu Rongtian, it was not for the purpose of destroying Zhu Rongtian. It was a complete coincidence!
This misunderstanding is huge!
Zhou Shu was too lazy to explain any more.
Peng Jiuyuan has already preconceived ideas. No matter how he explains it, he probably won't believe it.
In this case, you can just think of other ways to repay Cao Yue's favor.
"Okay, I promise you."
Zhou Shu waved his hand and said.
"But let me tell you Peng Jiuyuan, even if you want Cao Yue to be an ordinary person in this small mountain village for the rest of his life, you have to teach him some skills to settle down, right?"
Zhou Shu said, "Otherwise, it must be safe here? I think the villagers in Jieqiao Village usually go up to the mountains to hunt, so there is no danger?"
Zhou Shu was an ordinary person in his last life. He knew that the lives of ordinary people were not as stable as imagined. Without abilities, there was no absolute peace anywhere.
This Jieqiao Village is remote enough. Didn’t Peng Jiuyuan himself almost die before?
If it hadn't been for meeting Zhou Shu, the grass on Peng Jiuyuan's grave would have grown out.
"Xiao Yue doesn't need to go into the mountains to hunt."
Peng Jiuyuan said in a deep voice, "I taught him blacksmithing. He only needs to help people in the village make weapons and farm tools."
"Peng Jiuyuan."
Zhou Shu patted his shoulder and said, "Cao Yue is not a tool. He has his own thoughts. The life you help him arrange may not be what he has thought about."
Seeing Peng Jiuyuan's expression change, Zhou Shu continued, "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will keep my word. I will not involve Cao Yue. But if one day, Cao Yue himself is involved in martial arts, then
But it has nothing to do with me."
……
Ever since Cao Yue was driven away by Peng Jiuyuan that day, Zhou Shu never saw Cao Yue again for many days.
Even the daily meals were delivered to Zhou Shu personally by Peng Jiyuan.
Zhou Shu didn’t take this seriously either.
He has no time to worry about these things with Peng Jiuyuan, he is busy restoring his cultivation.
Zhou Shu originally thought that he was in a weak state just because of his injuries and the fact that he had exhausted his spiritual energy in order to kill Xuanming Tianhei Emperor.
But after so many days, his injuries showed no signs of improvement.
Moreover, the spiritual energy in his body has not recovered at all.
No matter how he uses his skills, he can't condense even a trace of spiritual energy in his body.
Zhou Shu thought of many ways, and he even practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu again.
But no matter what kind of exercises you practice, there is no effect at all.
It was as if he had also lost his martial arts talent.
Under such circumstances, how could Zhou Shu still have the energy to argue with Peng Jiuyuan about Cao Yue?
This is Zhu Rongtian. If he does not regain his strength, he will not be safe.
Once something unexpected happens, it will be difficult for him to protect himself.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Shu sat on the bed, frowning, "That day, with the determination to die, I ignited the Divine Weapon Map at the expense of myself."
"But I'm not dead. There are still fragments of the Divine Weapon Atlas. Could it be that my body has been affected?"
"Oh, why are you so impulsive? I'm obviously not the kind of hero who sacrifices himself for the sake of the world, so why did I have to fight Xuan Ming Tian Hei Emperor to the death?"
Zhou Shu sighed, it was useless to regret now.
The most urgent task is to find a solution to the problem.
"This matter started because of the Divine Weapon Atlas, and only the Divine Weapon Atlas can solve it."
Zhou Shu thought about it over and over, and only came up with one possibility.
"But the map of the divine weapons has been destroyed. Can we restore our strength only by repairing the map of the divine weapons?"
"The problem is that only when I regain my strength can I repair the divine weapon map. This is simply an endless loop."
"Besides, I don't know where the Heavenly Emperor's Sword fell. Without the Heavenly Emperor's Sword, I wouldn't have so much weapon-making materials, and I wouldn't be able to restore the divine weapon map at all."
"So, the key to breaking the situation is to find the Emperor Sword!"
The Heavenly Emperor Sword is Zhou Shu's natal weapon. He could sense that the Heavenly Emperor Sword was not destroyed in the battle with Xuanming Tianhei Emperor.
It's just that Zhou Shu has no cultivation at all and cannot sense the exact location of the Emperor's Sword, let alone summon it directly.
"There is no need to restore all my strength. As long as I can restore my Earth Immortal cultivation, I can summon the Heavenly Emperor Sword. With the Heavenly Emperor Sword in hand, even if I encounter the Law Realm, I am somewhat sure of saving my life."
Zhou Shu pondered, "The problem has returned to its original point. If I want to restore my cultivation, I must first repair the divine weapon map."
"Bang——"
Zhou Shu raised his hand, and a cluster of flames emerged from his fingertips.
The flame showed a light blue color and the temperature was astonishing.
"This flame came out when the divine weapon map was destroyed. What is its origin?"
This flame has always existed in Zhou Shu's soul. At first, it burned Zhou Shu's spiritual essence, soul and body, including the divine weapon map, thus generating a huge and incomparable power that made Zhou Shu
Can summon 10,000 innate divine weapons to kill the Black Emperor of Xuan Ming Tian.
After Zhou Shu woke up, he found that the flame still existed, but now it only existed in Zhou Shu's body and did not cause any harm to Zhou Shu's body.
"It should have emerged from the Atlas of Divine Weapons. I don't know. We have to rely on it to repair the Atlas of Divine Weapons."
Zhou Shu murmured to himself.
He has no strength now. He can no longer use his iron smelting hand. It is impossible to use ordinary flames to cast innate divine weapons. However, Zhou Shu can use this kind of blue flame. If it is used to cast innate divine weapons.
Soldiers are not a bad idea.
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Shu had made a decision in his mind.
……
"Sir, do you want to leave Jieqiao Village?"
After listening to Zhou Shu's words, Peng Jiuyuan thought to himself, he's still here.
"My lord, didn't you say you wanted to recuperate here for a while? Your injury has healed?"
Peng Jiuyuan asked.
Zhou Shu shook his head.
He really wanted to rest here for a while, and when his strength recovered, he would leave Zhu Rongtian and return to his ancestral land.
But now, he must find the Heavenly Emperor Sword and use the weapon-making materials in the Heavenly Emperor Sword to recast the divine weapon map. Otherwise, his injury will not heal, and his cultivation strength will not be restored.
He had to leave Jieqiao Village to find the Emperor Sword.
"Things have changed, so I have to leave Jieqiao Village."
Zhou Shu said, "Peng Jiuyuan, I hope you can come with me. I need you to do one thing for me. After doing this, your Peng family's mission will be completed. From now on, you will stay here and live safely."
Just live your life."
Zhou Shu looked at Peng Jiuyuan. He didn't want to disturb Peng Jiuyuan's life, but he had no choice. He had no one around him now, and he himself didn't have much ability to protect himself. He might not be able to find the Emperor Sword all the way.
The weather is calm and he needs someone to help.
"I'll go."
Peng Jiuyuan said calmly, as for Zhou Shu's statement that the Peng family's mission would be completed after doing this, Peng Jiuyuan didn't take it to heart.
The ancestral motto of the Peng family is to let him obey Zhou Shu until death——
"When do we leave?"
Peng Jiuyuan asked.
Peng Jiuyuan has been making preparations since the day Zhou Shu appeared.
"Now."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.
Since he has to take action, the sooner the better. The sooner he finds the Heavenly Emperor Sword, the sooner he can start recasting the divine weapon map.
"Sir, can you give me a few more days?"
Peng Jiuyuan said, "After I leave, I don't know when I will come back. Xiao Yue has not fully left the army yet. I want to leave some weapons for the village before I leave."
Peng Jiuyuan is the blacksmith of Jieqiao Village. He made all the hunting weapons and farming tools in Jieqiao Village.
Once he leaves, no one will be able to build these things in Jieqiao Village.
Although Cao Yue learned the craft of blacksmithing, he was still too young and could not support the consumption of the village.
"I can help you."
Zhou Shu said calmly, "After we finish it as soon as possible, we will leave as soon as possible."
Forging weapons is Zhou Shu's specialty. Weapons used by ordinary people are just children's toys to Zhou Shu. Even if he has no strength now, it is easy to forge some weapons used by ordinary people.
"Thank you, sir!"
Peng Jiuyuan Gongshou Tao.
……
Follow Peng Jiuyuan on the trails in the mountain village.
This was the first time Zhou Shu walked out of Peng Jiuyuan's yard after waking up.
He had been trying to heal his wounds in Peng Jiuyuan's house before, and the most he could do was walk to the yard.
This Jieqiao Village is built at the foot of a mountain. There are many houses built directly on the hillside.
As far as the eye can see, there are lush mountains and forests, and the scenery is very beautiful.
Zhou Shu looked at the rolling mountains in the distance and said thoughtfully, "Uncle Peng, why is this village called Jieqiao Village?"
Peng Jiuyuan looked back at Zhou Shu and said, "According to ancient legend, Jieqiao Village is located at the end of Zhurongtian. It is the hub connecting Zhurongtian and the world of the dead, so it is called Jieqiao Village."
"But that's just a legend. I've lived here for decades and have never seen the legendary Naihe Bridge."
Peng Jiuyuan shook his head and said that he didn't think the legend was true before, just like the ancestral precepts of his Peng family.
But now, the ancestral precepts of the Peng family have come true, and heaven exists. Who can say that the legend of Jieqiao Village is false?
Maybe, there really is a Naihe Bridge in Jieqiao Village, leading to the legendary underworld.
"Naihe Bridge?"
Zhou Shu's pupils flickered with light, he looked in one direction and said in deep thought, "Peng Jiuyuan, you said that the person who hurt you before was a disheveled madman. Are there any other characteristics on his body?"
"Characteristics?"
Peng Jiuyuan thought, "At that time, I only noticed that he was covered in blood, but I didn't notice anything else."
Zhou Shu nodded and continued, "Has anything weird happened in this village?"
"There is nothing strange about Jieqiao Village."
Peng Jiuyuan shook his head, "The people in the village are all ordinary people. Except for the occasional person who goes into the mountains to hunt and never returns, there are no other unusual things."
"Going into the mountains to hunt is inherently dangerous. Any accidents are normal."
Zhou Shu nodded, the light in his eyes flickered, and he didn't say anything else. However, his eyes were always looking in one direction, and he was still in a trance until he came to the place where Peng Jiuyuan usually made iron.
"Sir, this is it. I usually work here."
Peng Jiyuan introduced, "I have already stocked up on bows and arrows, and I plan to prepare dozens more hunting knives and hunting forks for the village..."
Peng Jiuyuan's workshop is an ordinary blacksmith's workshop, with a large furnace, messy piles of iron blocks, and several hammers of different sizes.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Shu recalled what happened when he was a soldier-casting apprentice.
This place is really similar to the workshop of the weapon-making apprentice.
"Sir, if you are injured and swing a hammer..."
Just as Peng Jiuyuan was about to say, can you lift the hammer, he saw Zhou Shu pick up a piece of iron from somewhere, and his eyes suddenly widened.
I saw a blue flame emerging from Zhou Shu's palm.
Then the piece of iron melted into a ball of molten liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhou Shu pulled his hands, and a hunting knife took shape in his hand. It looked exactly like the hunting knife placed next to him.
Peng Jiuyuan's mouth and tongue were dry, and he moved his lips a few times, but no sound came out.
When he made a hunting knife, it would take at least several days to finish one, and he would be very tired.
How long did it take for adults?
I haven’t even finished a sentence yet...
"What did you just want to say?"
Zhou Shu threw the hunting knife aside casually, with a smile on his face. As he thought, although the iron smelting hand cannot be used, the mysterious flame existing in the body can be used to forge weapons, there is no problem. As long as he finds the Emperor of Heaven Sword,
Recasting the Atlas of Divine Weapons, there is hope!
He was in a good mood and said, "By the way, how many hunting knives did you want to leave to the village?"
"Brother Peng, Brother Peng!"
Peng Jiuyuan was about to answer when suddenly a shout came from outside.
"Sir, let me go out for a moment."
Peng Jiuyuan said to Zhou Shu, and after Zhou Shu nodded, he walked out.
After Peng Jiuyuan went out, Zhou Shu looked at the iron materials piled beside the stove and felt his hands were slightly itchy.
He walked over and picked up the iron material on the ground again...
