The sound of blacksmithing echoed in the blacksmith shop. Luo Guan mobilized the most superficial strength of his body, but he could feel the new power rippling after the fusion of silver and demon species in his body.
Just like the spring breeze blowing on your face, causing ripples in circles, the connection with yourself is also quietly deepening in the process.
Therefore, Luo Guancai chose to be a blacksmith. He didn't understand the key, but as long as it helped to master this power, it would be fine.
He vaguely felt that only when he could truly control this power could he safely step into the outside world, otherwise a crisis would surely come.
"Um?"
At this moment, Luo Guan stopped knocking. He stood up and looked outside the courtyard. He felt a slight fluctuation in his mind. After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on his lips, "I'm finally here. I'll know the fate between you and me. No matter what,
It would be so short-sighted.”
Becoming the new master of the world of "Fengshan Ruins", although he could not fully grasp the magic due to the instability in his body, he felt something in his heart at this moment, and images appeared in front of Luo Guan's eyes - the people coming and going on the long street were all blurred.
It was unclear, but the father and son walking one behind the other were clearly much clearer.
Especially for the young man who was lagging behind, Luo Guan seemed to be able to clearly see his delicate and white face and a hint of perseverance in his eyes.
"Dong Ping... this little guy has actually grown up. He's very good... better than I expected..." Luo Guan's smile grew wider.
…
After questioning several people, the Dong family and his son arrived at the east side of the town smoothly. From a distance, they could already see the smoke rising from the fire when it was burning.
It was the newly opened blacksmith shop.
But at this time, Dong Li's expression changed and he pulled his son back to the roadside.
Across the street, several tall men with half-open arms in the cold weather were walking from the other end of the street, and the passers-by showed fear on their faces.
"Don't look, lower your head quickly." Dong Li shouted lowly.
Dong Ping hurriedly followed suit.
However, the father and son were of high stature and unfamiliar faces, so they still attracted a few people's attention.
Hearing the footsteps stop in front of him, Dong Li complained secretly but did not dare to show it. He cupped his hands and said, "My father and son are from Shangenzhai and are distant relatives of Lao Hei in the south of the city. If there is any offense to you heroes, please don't be the same as us."
"
As he spoke, he took out a few coins from his arms and said, "As a little thought, I'll invite some good guys to drink tea to warm themselves up."
There are always some idle scoundrels in this town. Although they don’t have much ability, they can be very troublesome if they get caught up. Dong Li has encountered them twice before. He knows very well how these people behave. If you express your respect, there is a high chance that you will give them a try.
It'll be fine.
"Lao Hei's relative... Hey, this kid opened a Datong shop. In the past two years, more and more people have recognized his relatives." The idle man opposite sneered and glanced at the few coins in Dong Li's hand.
, pouting, obviously showing disdain.
"There are quite a few of these country people who come to our Liyuan Town to do business, but few of them take the initiative to offer money. Indeed, there are very few
You know the rules." Another idle man sneered, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Hong, I have told you before that you should draw a road to prevent these mud-legged people from not knowing how to visit the pier before entering the city."
Dong Li secretly thought that it was not good. If someone caught him and established rules today, things would be in trouble.
He took a step back to protect his son. Just as he was about to say something, the man named Brother Hong glanced at the wooden sword wrapped behind Dong Ping. His heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. He thought for a moment and said, "You guys come to suppress it."
What are you doing?"
Dong Li didn't know what he meant, so he smiled bitterly and said truthfully, "When the child is older, I want to give him an iron sword, and he will follow the hunting envoy in the future..." He gritted his teeth, "My father and son don't know the rules of the town, and the money for making an iron sword is
We are all here, and I would like to invite you to have a drink, and also ask a few good men not to argue with me and my son."
"Dad!" Dong Ping's expression changed. This was a sum of money that his mother had saved for a long time. Weapons are valuable. In this world where wild beasts are rampant, they are the only thing that can be used to protect one's body. An iron sword is enough.
For a family of three, at least several years of savings are enough.
If he didn't like to practice swordsmanship, his father and mother would not be willing to spend such a large sum of money. After all, no one else in the village would be willing to spend such a large sum of money for hunting.
"Hey! You're smart, Grandpa Yinqian has accepted it. From now on, you will be under our protection in Liyuan Town, and no one will dare to bully you!" A idle man's eyes lit up with greed on his face, and he stretched out his hand to grab it.
Snapped--
"Ouch!" Xianhan screamed, and there was a bloody mark on his hand, "Brother Hong... what do you mean... I don't want to take it all..."
He looked aggrieved.
Brother Hong glared at him fiercely, gritted his teeth and growled, "Shut up!" As he spoke, he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the blacksmith shop not far away, and his legs shook subconsciously.
At first, he was one of the people who was "drunk" and slept in a long street all night. Afterwards, the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. They felt chills when they touched the back of their heads.
Although they didn't know who the blacksmith was, he was definitely someone they couldn't afford to offend. From then on, they made a rule that no one or thing related to the blacksmith shop would be touched.
Although Dong Li had a lot of money in his hand, Brother Hong always felt uneasy when he looked at the father and son in front of him, especially the young man carrying a wooden sword. He squeezed out a smile and said, "You two are going to strike iron swords."
Do you see the smoke coming out of the yard? That is the location of the blacksmith shop. You two should go there quickly. If you are late, you may not be able to make it in time. Please."
As he said that, he took the people back to the side.
Dong Li was a little confused and didn't know what was going on. He was pulled back to his senses by his son, "Ah... Thank you Brother Hong for showing the way... Then my father and son will say goodbye..."
Leave quickly before these rogues change their minds.
If he hadn't discovered that Brother Hong and the others had not left and were looking over from a distance, Dong Li would have hated it.
You can't just take your son and leave.
After hesitating, Dong Li stopped at the blacksmith shop, took a deep breath and knocked on the door, "Is the master at home? Let's ask for an iron sword."
He vaguely felt that the key to Brother Hong's sudden change of attitude was the blacksmith shop. Although he didn't know the reason, his attitude was very respectful.
After a few breaths, with a "squeak" sound, the courtyard door opened from the inside.
Dong Li quickly saluted, "Excuse me for disturbing you, my father and son...ah! Sir?! You...you...why are you here?!"
His eyes widened, feeling surprised and happy at the same time.
Behind him, Dong Ping rushed over. He was not at all calm as before, jumping up and down happily, "Sir! It's sir! Where have you been in the past few years? I...I have been waiting for you to come back and tell me
Story...but there was no news as soon as you left..."
This kid actually had red circles under his eyes.
Although they only got along for a short time, Luo Guan left a very deep impression on Xiao Dongping. In fact, if it weren't for the wooden sword behind him, he would have doubted whether he was dreaming.
Today, I finally met my husband again!
Luo Guan looked at the excited father and son and smiled, "There were some things back then, so I left in a hurry. Later, I felt that I still had a fate with you, so I opened a blacksmith shop in Liyuan Town and waited.
You father and son came to our door, and as expected, you are waiting for us today."
He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Dong, long time no see, and little Dong Ping."
Dong Li quickly saluted, "It is my father's blessing to see you again, Dong Ping. Kowtow to your husband quickly." He thought about it day and night, hoping that Dong Ping could follow his husband and change his own destiny. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he
I don't want to wait any longer.
Dong Ping wiped his eyes and knelt down directly.
But before he could kneel down, he was pulled by Luo Guan. He shook his head with a smile, "Okay, it's better not to kneel down yet. This is not a place for talking with people coming and going. You guys should come in first."
Dong Li was a little disappointed, but after his husband spoke, he quickly nodded and walked in with his son.
Not far away, Brother Hong's face turned pale and he wiped cold sweat with shaking hands.
"Brother Hong, what's wrong with you? You always feel cold. This little brother's cotton-padded jacket is newly made for you to wear." The little brother who was whipped quickly expressed his loyalty.
Brother Hong growled, "I'll wear your grandma's clothes!"
Kicking the man over, he gritted his teeth and was filled with joy. Fortunately, I was smart, otherwise it would have been doomed this time. The father and son were obviously old friends of the blacksmith, and it was really annoying to dare to bully others.
"Shangen Village..." Brother Hong turned around and left, "Quick, pass on the message quickly. Everyone who encounters this village should be respectful. Anyone who dares to provoke him will have his skin peeled off!"
Blacksmith shop.
Dong Ping looked around curiously and whispered, "Mr.
, how did you become a blacksmith? Even if you want to make a living, you should be a teacher."
Dong Li glared at him, "There are no rules. Whatever you do, sir, will naturally be considered by you. You can't understand it!" After experiencing Luo Guan's sudden disappearance at dawn on a snowy night three years ago, Dong Li faced him.
At this time, I was obviously more in awe.
Luo Guan smiled and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. Dong Ping is right. Being a teacher is much more elegant and cleaner than a blacksmith. But my current situation is a bit special. I can only blacksmith for the time being."
As he spoke, he looked at the wooden sword behind Dong Ping, his eyes paused, and said, "Dong Ping, this wooden sword I gave you, have you been carrying it with you for the past three years?"
Dong Ping took off his wooden sword and offered it with both hands, "It's what Mr. Sir gave me. Of course I have to carry it with me at all times... Well..." He scratched his scalp in embarrassment, "Just for the past six months... Hehe...
…I always dream…in my dreams, someone teaches me how to practice swordsmanship…”
Dong Ping also said, "Yes, yes! Please help me, sir, to see if anything will happen, right? This child has told me and her mother, but no one in our village knows how to practice swordsmanship, and they keep dreaming..."
Don't...don't mess with anything unclean..."
Luo Guan took the wooden sword, with a hint of wonder in his eyes. He flicked the sword with his fingers, and a soft "buzz" "buzz" sound came out, and there was a sound of gold and iron.
This little Dong Ping is really unexpected!
He thought about it a few times, but did not tell the father and son the truth. He just said, "It doesn't matter, this is Xiao Dongping's own opportunity, there is no harm in it."
After saying that, he returned the wooden sword to him and said, "From now on, you must hold your sword by yourself and never give it to others."
Dong Ping didn't seem to understand, but he remembered his master's instructions, "I understand, in fact, I am the master. If others want my sword, I won't let it go."
Dong Li was thoughtful, glanced at the wooden sword, and saluted respectfully, "Thank you, sir."
Luo Guan smiled and said, "I was warmly entertained by you at Dong's house before. It's time for dinner today, so I can try my cooking."
The meal was ready and Su Qing woke up. When she came out, the Dong family and his son were stunned.
"Dad...Dad...Fairy..." Dong Ping was speechless.
Su Qing, who didn't use the blindfolding technique, smiled like a flower blooming, "You kid, you know how to tell the truth." She hugged Luo Guan's arm, rested her chin on his shoulder, and breathed out, "Luo Guan, we have guests.
You’re here, why don’t you introduce it to me?”
Luo Guan was helpless. Su Qing was used to being lawless. The more he tried to interfere with her, the more he became more and more aggressive. He simply said directly, "This is brother Dong Li and Dong Ping. This is his son Dong Ping. They are my old friends."
"Brother Dong, this is Miss Su Qing, she is..."
Dong Ping's eyes sparkled, and he said seriously, "Dad, sir, your wife is so beautiful. I want to be your disciple, learn from him, and find a wife as beautiful as my master's wife in the future."
