Jun Luanjiu's answer was not what they wanted. And if it continues in this form, all it will get is a few nonsense words. Qi Huan couldn't continue to ask further questions. Just from these few replies, we can't tell what the general's attitude is. On the surface, Qi Huan nodded thoughtfully, and he still walked like a handsome young man. In his mind, he had already begun to scratch his head, racking his brains to think of other ways to say something, so as to hit something from the side.
As a result, until they came to the place where Mo Dao was stored, Qi Huan could no longer hold back his fart.
The royal blacksmith shop is indeed spacious. However, there is only one person in charge here. It was a tall and sturdy Shura with a blue beard. His unkempt hair was blue and dry, like straw lacking water. He was bigger than the average guard, and even Jun Luanjiu had to look up at him. His skin is dark, perhaps because he has been exposed to the blazing fire all year round. Sweat slid down his strong muscles, making them look polished.
He kept his head down and kept silent, hammering something hard. It is a sheet-shaped embryo, and there are still many processes before it can be formed. Jun Luanjiu didn't say much and asked him directly if the knife he had collected earlier had been repaired.
Shura didn't answer, but actually gave the thing in his hand to Jun Luanjiu. The equipment looked very heavy. I wonder if he could lift it. He walked over and took the huge hammer and materials into his hands, one in each hand, as if he were used to it. When the thing was handed to his hand, his whole body sank obviously due to the weight. But he still caught it, and slowly raised the hammer, hitting it hard, one after another, gradually returning to the original rhythm.
Then, the three of them looked at the Shura blacksmith. He turned around alone and went to another room without a door. Looking from the outside, you can see that there are many tools piled inside. It should be a tool, right? Unless it's some weapon they don't recognize. He roughly pushed away the messy things in front of him, and there was a clanging sound. He searched for a while and finally turned around with a shiny horse-cutting sword. The knife was very light in his hand, as if it came out with a brush.
He bumped the knife towards them unceremoniously, Shuangyue Jun caught it and pushed it into Qi Huan's arms. Qi Huan was unprepared and was pushed back by the weight. He took two steps back. Then, he and Bai Ya roughly inspected Mo Dao - yes, it should be Jun Aoyan's. It's just that it's been polished very new and shiny, and all the rust has been wiped away. Even the deep gaps on the blade have disappeared, but the blade does not seem to have become more brittle, thinner, or shorter. I don't know what kind of craftsmanship it is. Mo Dao also went through many steps that required careful processing. I don't know how the five big and three thick Shura did it.
"This is the knife, thank you."
Qi Huan thanked him, but Shura Blacksmith still didn't speak. He walked back to his original position and took the casting tools from Jun Luanjiu. When the general took over, they didn't hear anything wrong, but when Shura returned to forging iron himself, the thunderous sound still made several people's eardrums tremble.
When he left, Jun Luanjiu's head was covered in sweat. Qi Huan was a little worried.
"Is it okay? How about we go sit under the shade of a tree first?"
"It's okay." The general wiped off the water stains on his face and didn't take it seriously. "It's just that the blacksmith shop is too hot. Now that you have obtained the weapons, you should go back to avoid unnecessary trouble."
The three of them stood on the roadside and saw Jun Luanjiu going in another direction. After walking a few steps, Bai Ya suddenly called out to him. It is relatively open here, there are not many people around, and there is no need to worry about the walls having ears. Bai Ya was so angry that it seemed like they would never have a chance to talk except at this moment. When Jun Luanjiu heard this, he turned around.
"Anything else?"
"Have you ever seen Baisha?" Bai Ya asked, "Baisha has a strong arm that cuts through iron. You should have heard of it before coming to Jiutian Kingdom."
"Well, I know him. He came to Wu Kingdom...two or three years ago."
"!"
Bai Ya suddenly took a step forward, but quickly stopped. Taking advantage of Jun Aoyan's previous experience, he didn't want to alert others.
"Where is he now?"
"I don't know about this." His attitude was very frank. "He has great kung fu, and many Asuras are no match for him. Even I admire him very much. I originally thought that he was a person who did all kinds of evil according to the rumors, but I didn't expect him." He is a kind-hearted person and can get along well with anyone, which makes me impressed. Wang is rarely interested in human beings. He originally wanted to take him under his command, but he said he yearned for freedom, so he refused. Wang is very talented, although he has I was reluctant to let him go, so I let him go. He also has a statue in the Temple of War. He is one of the few humans and the only one who is still alive but not in the Wu Kingdom. You will see him soon. Speaking of which, you must He must be his son. I originally thought you looked similar, so I wasn't sure. Now that you ask, I can make a judgment."
"...Yes, I am his son." Bai Ya admitted, "Has my father ever mentioned me or my mother?"
"No." He shook his head, "Young hero, there is no need to be sad. In such a situation where you are unfamiliar with the place, it is a wise choice not to easily reveal your family affairs to outsiders or even foreigners. You should understand."
"Then where did he go? Or did he say what he was going to do?"
"Sorry, Mr. Bai, I don't know anything. Although we are both human beings, we don't have many interactions. I don't know where he is going, and he has never told me. I only know where he comes from - from the beach. Landing and climbing over the stone ridge. The first place he came to was our country of Wu."
Bai Ya and Qi Huan were stunned at the same time. They glanced at each other, trying to figure out what the words meant.
Did Baisha land from another direction of Jiutian Kingdom? How can it be? is this necessary?
"Is he coming alone?"
"There are a few people besides him, but they are all dead." Jun Luanjiu shook his head. He had no special emotions when he said these words. "They are too weak and are no match for Shura. Presumably they are all exiled. Come, his hands and feet are shackled. Your father said that there were a few guards, but they all died on the road. No one knows the truth. I only remember that he also had shackles on his feet, but they were no longer It was separated. From the incision, it didn’t even look like it was severed, but torn apart.”
"..."
Bai Ya stopped talking. He was thinking hard and was very quiet at the moment. Jun Luanjiu gave a final salute and said:
"I only know these things. We will meet in the Temple of War another day."
"Please stay!" Qi Huan suddenly shouted again, which shocked Mr. Shuangyue next to him and glanced at him.
"What's the matter?"
"Um... we really can't get used to the food here. Do you have any recommended snacks?" Sweet Potato
Surprisingly, Jun Luanjiu was silent for a long time this time. This made Qi Huan feel that his questions should not be asked. Maybe, he has been in the imperial city since he settled down and has never had any free time. But at this moment, Jun Luanjiu responded.
"Go out from the east gate of the Imperial City and walk out to the first steamed bun shop." He said, "In addition to steamed buns, they also sell a food called dumplings, which are the vegetable boxes you know. Buy the ones stuffed with fennel."
"Fennel?" Qi Huan said, "It smells very strong."
"Yeah... who would like to eat a box filled with fennel..."
Jun Luanjiu muttered strangely, turned and walked away. His back was still as straight as a soldier's, and there was no hesitation in his steps. But those words were confusing. But it didn't matter, they still went to the bun shop. The guards were not strict, or rather, the Shura didn't even look at them.
Except that Mr. Shuangyue was stopped when he was about to go out, the reason must be related to the Demon Sealing Blade. Although he was not happy, he did not protest, but turned back nonchalantly. So there were only two people left, and they bought some steamed buns with various fillings, and also bought "big dumplings" with fennel. These foods are still not as delicious as the ones back home, but they are still much better than pure meat.
"I suddenly started to miss that wonton meal." Qi Huan said suddenly.
"Which meal?"
"The meal before leaving."
"Meatballs, noodles and soup?"
"……right."
"Me too."
"right."
After that, they said nothing more.
The two of them were not in the mood to hang around here, so they went straight back home and brought the food back before dark. They put the paper-wrapped steamed buns and vegetable boxes on the table, and saw Ao Yan still sulking with a sullen face. Qi Huan greeted:
"Come on, don't be angry first, eat something delicious!" Qi Huan patted the table, "If you don't eat, you'll get cold."
"fennel?"
After all, it was a vegetable with a strong smell, and Liu Shenghan could smell it right away. Ao Yan raised her head and rarely took another look.
"I quite like fennel," she said softly. "He doesn't like it, but he still makes it for me."
Qi Huan and Bai Ya suddenly looked at each other, both agreed, and opened their mouths slightly, but neither said anything - it was obvious that Jun Luanjiu had not lost his memory. Liu Shenghan's sharp eyes noticed this small detail and determined to find an opportunity to ask them later.
In order to change the topic and avoid being noticed by Ao Yan, Qi Huan suddenly said: "By the way, where is Mr. Shuang Yue? They didn't let him go, so he came back alone. Is he in the room? Let's get him something. "
"Master Shuangyue?" Liu Shenghan thought for a while, "He is not here now and has never come back."
"Then I'll just have to eat the leftovers."
After that, they waited for a long time, but no Lord Shuangyue came back. Only Shura came to inform them when they could visit the War Temple. After Jun Aoyan fell asleep, Liu Shenghan quietly got up and came to Bai Ya's room. When he first entered the door, the light was still on. Qi Huan took a small file and other tools that he didn't know where he came from, and polished a small knife meticulously.
"What are you doing?"
"Hurry up and take care of it." Bai Ya looked impatient, "This guy has been filing all night. I don't know what he is doing."
"It doesn't go well -" Qi Huan complained, "I have to change it. I didn't have much time to choose at the time, right?"
Liu Shenghan asked them to talk about business first, about the fennel vegetable box. It doesn’t take long to summarize this. She listened thoughtfully to the two men talking about the situation at that time.
"He also mentioned your father." Shenghan looked at Bai Ya, "If this is true, he should... remember Aoyan."
"But why didn't he react at all?" Qi Huan thought, "For an ordinary father, he has only seen his daughter after so many years. Even if he has to pretend, his eyes are somewhat wrong, right? He is too..."
"Let's first think about how to pass the test at the Temple of War." Bai Ya pinched the bridge of his nose, "I'm afraid that someone could slap you in the face and chop off half of your head."
"Young Master Bai, don't worry."
"That's right, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid you'll lose your life."
