When Bai Ze heard this, he found it interesting and immediately said to the old man: "That boy Bai Ze, you have met the teacher!"
"Hahaha! Your kid's character is what I like!" The old man laughed loudly, stood up, and threw the black gold hammer to Bai Ze. Bai Ze caught it, staggered, and was almost crushed to the ground by the hammer.
"So heavy!" Bai Ze felt that it was difficult for him to lift the hammer. You must know that he is born with magical power, even a thousand-jin crossbow, he can fire it with all his strength. The hammer in his hand now seems to have almost exceeded the limit of his strength.
"Come on, try it!" The old man led him towards the sword furnace.
"Teacher, you want to teach me how to make a sword?" Bai Ze followed. As he approached the sword furnace, the terrifying high temperature of the sword furnace hit his face. The temperature was actually higher than that of the stone table. It was like a heat wave, layer after layer, hitting his face directly.
"Teaching you how to forge swords? Hahaha!" The old man laughed loudly, "Then the reputation of Heyang Sword Furnace will be destroyed by you in one day?"
The old man took Bai Ze to the sword furnace, took out a piece of red-hot iron with a bright yellow color from the sword furnace, handed it to Bai Ze, and said, "This is ten kilograms of iron. You can forge it and go into it." Is it possible to remove one pound of impurities and leave nine pounds behind?"
"No problem!" Bai Ze patted his chest, took the tongs, walked to the other side of the sword furnace, put the iron block on the sword-making platform, raised the black gold hammer, and smashed it down.
"Cang!" Fire splashed everywhere.
The huge repulsive force shook Bai Ze so much that his wrists and shoulders were almost dislocated, and his jaw was so painful.
"Hahaha, if you are forging iron like this, you have to take off your own arm." Tao Hongjing took out the sword embryo that was burning red in the sword furnace, put it on the sword-making platform, and picked up a black gold hammer in his right hand. Stand firm, "Look carefully, forging iron is not about brute force, it is about connecting the strength of the legs, waist, arms, and wrists together!"
As he spoke, he raised his hammer and heard a clang sound. Everything was steady, and the sword embryo was filled with flames.
Bai Ze remembered it after just one glance, adjusted his posture, and stood firm on his feet.
"I see that you are now on the seventh level of the Sea of Suffering. Forged Iron, you can mobilize the true energy in your body. By exercising like this, within a month, you will be able to break through the seventh level of the Sea of Suffering and enter the eighth level of the Sea of Suffering." Tao Hongjing said beside him.
Bai Ze only nodded, his waist and arms were connected in a line, he exerted force on his wrists, raised his zhenqi, and brought the hammer down, struggling to hit the stubborn piece of iron.
"clang!"
Tao Hongjing saw this in his eyes and nodded secretly, thinking that this boy was really talented. He learned the most basic movements of making a sword after just one look. It's a pity that this boy has become a master, otherwise he will be accepted as a closed disciple, and he will be trained carefully for ten years. After ten years, he will be a swordsmith who can make a name for himself in the north.
The two of them stopped talking, and each hammered hard. The courtyard was filled with tinkling sounds, which had a unique charm.
Time flies, and an hour passes quickly. Bai Ze felt sore all over his body. Tao Hongjing glanced at him and said: "You little kid, you are not bad at talent. It is your first time to forge iron with a black gold hammer. It is amazing that you can last for an hour! Let's stop here today. , the breath is unstable, and there are many mistakes in forging iron, but it is half the result with half the effort, and it cannot play the role of cultivation."
After saying that, he struck again, and the sword embryo gradually took shape, and the inexplicable sword intent filled the entire courtyard.
Bai Ze didn't say much and stopped. He was already covered in sweat and soaked, as if he had just been fished out of the water. He looked at the sky and saw that it was already dusk. He remembered that he and Mu Chen had made an appointment tonight, so he said, "Teacher, I'll take my leave now. I have something to do later."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Tao Hongjing continued to forge his sword.
Bai Ze put down his things and walked out of the courtyard. Inside and outside the door was a world of ice and fire. The heat inside was unstoppable, but outside it was late autumn and cold.
Bai Ze exhaled, and the long white mist exhaled. He looked at it and murmured to himself: "It's already winter."
…
The sun sets in the west and the autumn wind blows.
Outside Heyang City, two cavalry came gracefully. The soldiers guarding the city only saw two people, one middle-aged man, dressed in rich and noble clothes, with a strong horse on his crotch, and a world-famous sword on his waist, showing extraordinary power and domineering.
The other is a pretty girl, dressed in white as snow, with red silk around her waist making her skin even more supple.
A strange combination of a middle-aged uncle and a twenty-year-old girl.
"Grandpa Wang, Heyang City has finally arrived." The Sixth Princess looked at the city wall stretching for hundreds of miles under the sunset. Above the south gate, there were three ancient and grand characters, "Heyang City".
"Haha, it's been a long and dusty journey, so it's been hard work." Zhao Dun said, "When we enter the city tonight, we go straight to the residence of the Marquis of Heyang, and ask him to entertain him with good wine and food, and sleep in the room to wash away the fatigue. !”
Hearing this, the Sixth Princess said: "I heard that Princess Qingling, the youngest daughter of Heyang Marquis, is only twenty-seven years old and is not yet old enough to have a hairpin. I don't know what it will be like to get along with her."
The Grand Duke smiled when he heard this and joked: "Xiao Liu'er, I heard that Princess Heyang has been unruly and willful since she was a child. Even the Marquis of Heyang is afraid of her. In the whole Heyang City, only the eldest son Mu Chen can control her. When you get along with her, don't you feel like old friends at first sight and regret meeting each other later? Hahaha."
After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly and walked away.
"Grandpa Wang, you actually made fun of me, saying that I was overbearing and willful!" The sixth princess blushed and chased after her.
"How dare you, how dare you?" The Grand Duke said as he pinched the horse's belly again and ran faster.
The Sixth Princess followed closely behind, riding two horses into the city and heading straight to the city lord's palace.
As early as when the two approached the city boundary of Heyang, the secret guard of the city lord's palace had already written a report, saying that "Dong Cheng and the Sixth Princess are approaching Heyang from the south."
Mu Suifeng looked up to the sky and smiled. He really hoped for what he wanted. He immediately undressed and put on a first-grade marquis mysterious bottom python pattern uniform. He ordered someone to bring his mount Wu Haima. He and Chen Deng brought more than ten elites and called the prince to tell him that today He and Mu Qingling entertained Bai Ze on their own, and he would invite them another day.
After that, he rode out of the house.
The people of Heyang saw the city lord's palace charging across the city roads for the fourth time today. Only this time, it was better than the first time the crown prince entered the city, the second time Chen Deng left the city, the third time the princess entered the city, and the fourth time the crown prince led his troops to march across the city. Pingdu Mansion is even more vigorous.
Because this time, it was Heyang Houmu Suifeng who was dressed in a first-grade marquis uniform and went on a rampage with Deputy General Chen Deng.
Apparently, he was heading towards the south gate of Heyang City.
A guy with a keen sense of smell can easily find out that there is only one person in the entire Yan Dynasty who can wear Mu Suifeng's official uniform and pick him up personally.
Cheng Guogong Zhao Dun.
…
Bai Ze had just washed up and it was already dark. The appointed time has almost arrived. The young man hung two swords at his waist and led the horse in the courtyard. As soon as the door was closed, he heard a horse entering the alley. The prince called him: "Brother Baize!"
Bai Ze got on his horse and went up to meet him. He saw that Mu Qingling was also there. Because he was in the city, he was wearing red armor and red clothes. Although his figure was not fully grown yet, his handsome features were already stunning. Heartbeat.
"Mu Chen, is it so early?" Bai Ze greeted. People in the world don't have so many rules, so he didn't call him Prince Mu Chen.
"No, it seems that a big shot came to Handan today. My father went to pick him up personally." Mu Chen reined in his horse and said, "This is the first time I have seen my father wearing a first-grade marquis-patterned python suit. I guess Handan That person’s identity is extraordinary.”
"That's it." Bai Ze said.
"My father said he would invite you another day, so he asked my sister and I to entertain you today." Mu Chen laughed and said, "In this case, how could I still ask you to go to the City Lord's Mansion? Although the Qinghe Garden in the mansion has a nice scenery, but It’s winter now, the lotus flowers have all faded, and there’s nothing to see. Let’s go! Brother, I will take you to a good place today.”
"What a good place?" Bai Ze was somewhat curious.
It has been almost four months since I first came to Heyang. At that time, I was still with Xie Xuan and Ouyang Mu. I didn't stay in the city for long. I had never been to many places in the city.
As for his second visit to Heyang City, he just walked around the area, went directly to the East City Chamber of Commerce, and then left the city without visiting much.
"You'll know when you get there." Mu Chen gave up, reined in his horse, turned around, and walked out of the alleyway first.
Bai Ze and Mu Qingling followed behind. Mu Qingling looked at Bai Ze's handsome profile, remembering something, and her ears turned red.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ze asked her strangely.
"No, it's nothing." The girl said, changing the subject, "By the way, dad sent someone to deliver the elixir to you. Have you used it? How is your injury?"
"I am determined to become a Kyushu Sword Immortal, and those minor injuries are not worth mentioning." Bai Zehu boasted and patted his chest, not caring at all.
"Okay, okay, Master Sword Immortal." Mu Qingling chuckled and said, "Master Sword Immortal, can you fly a sword with a hundred steps? I am very envious. I heard that the Sword Immortal can stop a million swordsmen with one flying sword. .”
Bai Ze blushed and said, "This will happen naturally when I become a Sword Immortal in the future."
The three of them chatted and laughed while riding for three miles. There were more and more sparse pedestrians on the streets. Mu Chen dismounted his horse, tied the reins to a willow tree by the roadside, and said, "There are many people in front of us. Let's walk over. Anyway, we don't have more than two steps to go."
After witnessing the prince killing people in anger during the day, Bai Ze saw that Mu Chen was still so kind and could not bear to ride his horse to scare the people in the city, which was quite novel.
"Won't the horse be taken away?" Bai Ze asked.
"Gee, the horses in the city lord's palace use special horseshoes. Who dares to lead the sheep?" Mu Qingling smiled after hearing this.
The three of them tied up their horses and set out on foot.
People were coming and going on the street, and it was already dark. People on the roadside put on lanterns, and the lights are warm and pure, echoing the stars and rivers in the distance, which has a unique charm.
On the east side of the street is a big river. The river and the moat are connected, flowing quietly, glowing with a long luster in the dim lights, which is really charming.
Mu Chen walked to a pier. The pier was very large, a hundred feet wide. People come and go at the pier, all dressed in extraordinary clothes. They wear brocade and gorgeous clothes. The young master has a folding fan in his hand, and he is elegant. Everyone is wearing a ladylike skirt and a blouse, and they are dignified.
"Store, rent a boat, and provide plenty of food and drinks. All of them are the best!" Mu Chen walked to the center of the pier and said to the shop.
"Okay, His Highness the Crown Prince, please come this way!" The shopkeeper was very familiar with the Crown Prince and immediately brought the three of them on board.
The boat is parked at the pier. It is the best boat in the pier. It is made of sandalwood and can seat seven or eight people. The painted pillars and carved beams are of antique style.
The boatman is an honest boatman. The three of them got on the boat. The storekeeper said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. The food and wine are ready. I will send someone to deliver them to you immediately."
"Easy to say!" Mu Chen said, instructing the boatman: "Set the boat!"
