Li Mu's respectful and sincere words finally moved the blacksmith. He carefully put the hammer into the cooling pool, wiped the dirt on his hands, and then pointed to a few chairs nearby, motioning for Li Mu and the others to sit down.
"You are not travelers. No one will travel to Guixu Island. Moreover, the entire Holy Land is under high security now, and it is impossible to let you in. Are you from the resistance army?"
】
The blacksmith leisurely pulled up a chair and sat down. He put his legs on the low table in front of him. The teapot next to him was boiling. He poured a cup and took a sip. Then he spoke to Li Mu.
A simple sentence made Li Mu and the others furious, and they unconsciously wanted to pull out their weapons and fight. Su Fenqiao's eyes were even dyed with a touch of blue, and the Eye of the End had actually been opened.
"Who are you? How do you know our identities? Are you from the Guixu Sect? Are you preparing to ambush us? Is that why this town is so depressed?"
A barrage of questions flooded the blacksmith, but the man who faced the three Infinite Realm powerhouses didn't seem to be afraid at all. You must know that with Li Mu's strength, they don't even need to use weapons to kill him, just a thought
That's enough.
"Guixu Sect? Does Guixu Church want a loser like me who can't even bind the Ning Dan? Anyone with any brains can guess your identity."
The blacksmith's words made Old Li Mu blush. He was a little sick and rushed to seek medical attention. Now he calmed down and thought about it, it was indeed extremely unexpected to fabricate the identity of a traveler.
"As for why this town turned into what it is now, you should ask the Guixu Cult. Ninety-nine percent of the people in the town must have been kidnapped to the north to mine, saying it was to expand the Guixu Temple or something.
If it weren't for the fact that they need me to help them make protective gear, you probably wouldn't be able to see me."
As the blacksmith spoke, there was a sense of sadness in his words. From his description, it is not difficult to see that this town was once bustling with people, but under the pressure of the Guixu Sect, it gradually became a "
Ghost Town".
"Okay, I've asked all the questions, and I've answered all the answers. Let's go. Even if you are not from the resistance, it is still extremely dangerous on Guixu Island. Although I can't tell what you are.
No matter what level of monk you are, you can't be more powerful than those from the Guixu Sect. Hide in the mountains and forests before they find you."
Li Mu and Su Fenqiao were still thinking about what the blacksmith said, but the other party had already stood up and issued an "expulsion order". People like him on Guixu Island really couldn't help themselves. They could reveal this information because they were to
The Guixu Sect has been grudged for too long, and now that it’s over, it’s natural that they don’t want to have too much interaction with Li Mu and the others.
"Thank you, we will be careful. By the way, your hammer-swinging technique looked familiar just now. I wonder if you have some connection with the Blacksmith Guild?"
Seeing that each other was unwilling to say anything, the three of them did not ask for trouble. However, when Li Mu was about to walk out of the shop, he suddenly thought of something and turned to the blacksmith and asked.
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly widened, with an expression of disbelief and ecstasy on his face. He pointed at Li Mu with his trembling right hand and said.
"You... what is your relationship with the Blacksmith Guild? Do you know anyone in the guild? No... you are not a blacksmith, or do you have friends in the Blacksmith Guild?"
The man's mood was a little excited, and even his words began to be a little incoherent, as if the words "Blacksmith's Guild" touched a certain area deep in his heart, evoking memories that had been hidden for many years.
"I am not a member of the Blacksmiths Guild, but I investigated several cases with the guild in the Metallurgical City of Penglai Island and made many friends. By the way, among them was the Master Craftsman Luo Wen."
Li Mu was a little surprised by the blacksmith's reaction. After clearing his thoughts, he briefly recounted his experience in Metallurgical City, including the process of investigating the case of the little boy in red with Mo Tianyi, and of course meeting Luo Wen.
The matter of the master craftsman.
Unexpectedly, the blacksmith became more and more excited as he listened. When he learned that Master Luo Wen finally got over his emotional pain after the war and returned to the headquarters of the Blacksmith Guild, he burst into tears.
"Thank you, thank you for letting me know this. I thought I would never be able to return to Donghai again in my life to know about the teacher's current situation. The teacher finally cheered up. It's great, great."
Seeing the blacksmith burst into tears and runny nose, Li Mu lamented how the world of immortality could be so small. A blacksmith from a small town on Guixu Island actually once worked in the Blacksmiths Guild and even studied under Master Luo Wen.
.
"It's not convenient to talk here, so come with me."
After finally calming down, the man's attitude also made a 180-degree turn. After making sure that no one was around, he led Li Mu and the others through the main hall of the shop and directly entered the backyard through a small door.
, this is where he usually lives and lives, and it can be considered a very quiet existence in today's small town.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Shao Jie. I am from the South China Sea. Because I am naturally fond of forging, I went to the East China Sea ten years ago and joined the Blacksmith Guild. Then by chance, I became a disciple of Master Luo Wen.
I studied for three whole years.”
"Don't be too busy asking questions. I know you don't believe it. How can a mortal without any cultivation be able to worship a master who has cultivated in the Tribulation Realm as a teacher? To be honest, I didn't believe it myself."
"Even in the Blacksmiths Guild, which has many talented people, there is no such case. The traditional theory is that without the support of cultivation, it is impossible to forge excellent works. I was so convinced at the beginning."
"But fortunately, I met Master Luo Wen. He saw that I was born with supernatural powers and my perception of multiple temperatures was particularly keen, so he specially developed a set for me that did not require the use of heaven and earth energy, but used extreme power and temperature.
He came to forge equipment and taught me personally for three years."
"I lived up to my teacher's high expectations. Three years later, I graduated and successfully forged a Xuan-level weapon. Since then, I have become the only non-monk high-level blacksmith in the entire blacksmith guild."
When talking about these glorious years, Shao Jie's whole body seemed to be bathed in light. The glory in this memory was indeed important to his wife, and the kindness of Master Luo Wen was like recreating his parents to him.
It is impossible to forget in this life.
"High-level blacksmiths will always be guests of large forces wherever they go. Why are you so bad at blacksmithing in such a small town on Guixu Island?"
But Su Fenqiao still maintained her true nature as a witch. A "venomous" question directly made the atmosphere extremely awkward. Not only did Shao Jie's expression darken instantly, but even Li Mu and A'Zi were startled and started to fight like crazy.
The color signaled the demon princess to stop talking.
