The strong wind roared and blew the snowflakes in all directions. At this time, the entire Dehua City was already covered in silver.
In the silent night sky, only the sound of "dang-dang-dang" echoed in the wind and snow.
Wen Canghai and Long Canghaozhuo stood in the wind and snow, standing in front of the blacksmith shop. They did not make any sound, did not move at all, and kept standing there. The two people standing in the wind and snow,
It seems to be waiting silently.
The people in the blacksmith shop were still silent as they were making the iron pieces. They seemed not to notice at all that there were two people standing outside the blacksmith shop in the wind and snow. The man was swinging the big black hammer in waves.
He knocked on the long piece of iron. After a while of hammering, the man used iron tongs to put the long piece of iron into the pool next to him. As soon as the long iron piece entered the pool
, there was a "squeak" sound, and bursts of green smoke came out.
The man soaked the long piece of iron in the pool for a while and then picked it up. He looked at the long piece of iron carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He threw the long piece of iron into the furnace above the bellows, turned to the door and said with a smile: "You are here."
The two people standing in front of the blacksmith shop in the wind and snow heard the voice of the man in the blacksmith shop. The two people's bodies were slightly shaken. They let the wind and snow hit their faces wantonly, letting the snowflakes fall on their faces at will.
It fell on their cheeks, and the snowflakes turned into snow water and flowed down their faces. Suddenly, a feeling of sadness surged up in their hearts, and they clasped their trembling hands, knowing that their eldest child still recognized them.
"Come in." The person in the blacksmith shop said, his tone was very calm without any emotion.
"Brother Tong" Wen and Long both shouted to the man in surprise as soon as they entered the shop, with a hint of sobs in their voices. Their eyes were red, and there seemed to be a crystal light shining in their eyes.
With.
The child blacksmith in the blacksmith shop was exactly the Tong Cangtai they were looking for. At this time, Tong Cangtai had the temperament of an ordinary blacksmith. He no longer had the high-spirited and heroic spirit. His angular face was as sharp as a knife, revealing a trace of
There was a breath of vicissitudes, and some of the hair on his forehead had already turned white with frost. His calm eyes glanced at Wen and Long.
"Okay, okay, okay" Tong Cangtai's words also contained a hint of choking, and he said three good words in a row.
"Brother Tong, how are you?" Long Canghao was impatient. He grabbed Tong Cangtai's hands and greeted him. Wen Canghai looked around at the iron shop, which was filled with various agricultural iron tools.
All kinds of iron filings were scattered all over the place. He couldn't help but sigh that his eldest brother Tong had lived such a simple life these years, even more miserable than a normal ordinary person.
But this time they came to take him back to the Haotian Sect for punishment under the secret order of Zongli. They only got information from the Zongli that Tong Cangtai was living an ordinary life as a blacksmith in Dehua City.
Little did he know that this so-called ordinary life was actually such a miserable life. A feeling of resentment, melancholy, and sadness suddenly filled his whole heart.
"I'm fine. How about you, how are you doing now?" Tong Cangtai replied, holding Long Canghao's hands tightly. Long Canghao could clearly feel that his hands were trembling, and his big hands were curled up.
His palms were covered with calluses.
"Why?" Wen Canghai suddenly roared at Tong Cangtai. With tears in his eyes, he frantically smashed all the iron tools in the shop onto the ground, one by one.
"Brother," Long Canghao was startled by his crazy behavior and immediately shouted. He wanted to stop him, but Tong Cangtai stopped him.
"Let him go, you two brothers have had a hard time living these years." Tong Cangtai waved his hands, but there was a warm current in his heart that hit him wantonly. He also knew why Wen and Long came here.
He understood why Wen Canghai did such a thing in Dehua City.
The ground was covered with agricultural iron tools. Wen Cangtai looked at the other party with blank eyes, and his expression had recovered.
"The sect master asked us to take you back." He said to Tong Cangtai calmly.
Tong Cangtai looked at the mess of agricultural iron tools on the ground. His expression trembled slightly, then recovered. He was silent for a while and said, "What crime did the clan convict me of?"
"The crime of rebellion was unanimously approved by the sect's elders' council." Long Canghao answered for Wen Canghai, his tone full of disdain and helplessness.
"Oh, it's been fifteen years, and I didn't expect that those people in the sect would still refuse to let me go." Tong Cangtai sighed.
"Brother Tong, this time he will go back with us first. Then the two of us brothers will intercede for you in front of the sect master and strive for leniency. Although you were not wrong in that matter back then, it was the sect's decision."
Wen Canghai explained to him anxiously.
"Yes, Brother Tong, please come back to the sect with us first. I don't believe that the prestige of our two brothers can't keep you here." Long Canghao also shouted.
"Thank you for your kindness. You two are so kind to Tong Cangtai. How could I not know your thoughts? This time I plan to return to the sect with you. But I still have some things to deal with.
"Tong Cangtai felt warm in his heart when he saw the two of them saying this. He saw the sincerity in the other person's eyes. He felt that he would have to face it sooner or later. He had already escaped from this matter.
Fifteen years.
"Really?" When Wen and Long heard that the other party had agreed, they were immediately overjoyed and shouted in unison.
Tong Cangtai showed a relieved smile at this moment and nodded silently.
"Brother Tong, if there is anything else you need, let us two brothers tell you if we can help." Long Canghao also showed a heroic smile.
Tong Cangtai didn't say anything. He asked Wen Canghai to take out the long iron block from the furnace above the bellows and said, "I want to build this thing."
Wen Canghai held the long iron block with iron tongs and looked at it carefully for a while, and said in surprise: "This is a prototype sword blank. Brother Tong, you want to make a sword."
Tong Cangtai nodded and said: "We are still working together as before, the three of us, Canghao pulls the bellows, you clamp the prototype of the iron block, and I hammer and cast it."
The sound of "dang, dang, dang, dang," the hammering of iron tools was heard again in the blacksmith shop, mixed with the sound of "whooshing" bellows pushing and pulling. The wind and snow outside were getting thicker again, but the blacksmith's shop was full of fire.
From time to time, iron filings like red stars flew out and splashed on the snow outside the shop. After a few "buzzing" sounds, wisps of blue smoke rose up.
The sound of "dang, dang, dang" metal knocking blended into the howling of the wind and snow, but gave people a harmonious feeling. The silent night sky did not become noisy because of the sound of metal knocking.
More emptiness, Xiao Jing.
"Brother Tong, who made this sword of yours?" Wen Canghai asked Tong Cangtai.
While Tong Cangtai was swinging the hammer, he glanced at the other person and replied: "There is no relatively complete sword-making equipment here. I can only make it by forging. You also know that person. Didn't you rescue him not long ago?"
."
Wen Canghai was stunned. He didn't expect that Tong Cangtai knew the young man and even forged a sword for him.
"Brother Tong knows that boy?" Long Canghao, who was working hard on the bellows, asked carelessly.
Tong Cangtai stopped what he was doing and continued: "He is a good friend of Quanzi Xiaohu. In fact, the assassin from the Assassin's Sky Alliance was also present when he was chasing him."
As soon as Wen and Long heard each other's words, they also stopped what they were doing. They looked at each other, waiting for him to tell what happened. They were also very curious about how the good boy was doing.
Use a dead branch to pierce the killer's throat.
"When I was not far away from them, I was also very curious about the boy. At that time, the killer also discovered me, but he was not sure about my relationship with the boy. He was afraid that he would kill the boy at the same time.
He couldn't escape intact. So the killer kept chasing the boy without killing him, and the boy couldn't get away from the killer. One ran away, the other chased, and the two of them lasted for nearly half an hour." Tong Cangtai said slowly.
"What happened next?" Wen and Long asked at the same time.
"The young man obviously noticed that the killer in black didn't want to rush to kill him, and his left shoulder was also scratched by the dagger of the killer in black, and he was also poisoned by the dagger. But he didn't notice my presence.
The killer in black did not dare to act rashly. The young man picked up a dead branch from the snow. At that time, I was also curious, could the young man defeat the killer with just this dead branch? The young man held the dead branch in his hand.
Zhi, the aura erupting from his body suddenly changed, like a peerless swordsman."
"While I was negligent, the killer in black raised his dagger and stabbed the young man, but the young man grabbed his dagger with his left hand, and the dead branch turned into a peerless sharp sword and stabbed through the void.
Even I didn't see clearly the trajectory of the dead branch. It pierced the killer's throat at once, and the killer was so cruel that he dropped the dagger and slapped him. When I wanted to rescue him, it was too late.
So the young man was seriously injured, but the killer also died. Later, I was about to step forward and take the young man away, but unexpectedly you came too, and a fat Taoist priest came behind me. I finally withdrew.
Well, I don’t think you will just die without saving me.”
It turns out that this is the case, just as Wen Canghai guessed. Wen and Long felt a sigh in their hearts, and they admired the young man even more. This seemingly simple battle was also invisibly thrilling. If it were them, the enemy is strong and we are weak.
Under the disadvantage, it may be impossible for him to complete this counterattack.
"Brother Tong, do you know who this young man is?" Long Canghao asked the other party.
"This young man came to Dehua City more than a month ago. I only know his name, Ye Yinfeng. As for his other identities, I know nothing about him. But I also have a rough guess about his life experience.
." Tong Cangtai replied.
"Does he have any other secret life experience?" Wen Canghai asked rhetorically.
"'Dragon stars descend from the sky, and the wind sings from hiding in Huainan'. Have you heard of these two sentences?"
"We have only heard of the first sentence, but never heard of the last sentence." Wen Canghai frowned and said in confusion.
"Yes, the phrase 'Dragon Star descending from the sky' has been around for a long time. It has been displayed on the wall of the machine for two years that day." Long Canghao also joined in.
"So I suspect that someone used the previous sentence to confuse the public and carry out an act of genocide against the Huainan Ye family." Tong Cangtai's eyes suddenly shot out a frightening light, and he said in a cold voice.
"So that young man is the orphan of the Ye family in Huainan. Who is going to target them?" Wen Canghai also looked confused.
"What happened is very strange. This young man has a close affinity with Quanzi Xiaohu. I couldn't rescue him this time, and I feel ashamed of him. I found that he might have an amazing talent in swordsmanship, so I made him a sword first.
He will also have some immortal achievements in the future." After Tong Cangtai finished speaking, he picked up the hammer and continued to hit the almost formed sword blank.
Wen and Long were silent for a while, feeling dull for a while. They still had many questions in their hearts, but they couldn't ask questions at this time, so they silently cooperated with each other in forging this sword.
