"Aunt Li! We are here to help you too!"
The farce here had just stopped, and the farce there started again. The group of people who had just been taught by the red scarf woman rushed over carrying various farm tools.
"Do I still need your help?" The woman in red scarf looked disgusted and said to the visitor: "Everyone, please go back first! We have a distinguished guest at home today, and we will continue the unfinished lessons tomorrow!"
"Dignified guest?"
Wang Tieniu's grave was dug up, but the expressions of Wang Xiaochui and Aunt Li were not strange at all. A group of people looked at each other and looked at each other. They were really confused, wondering what kind of distinguished guests this was.
"Aunt Li? Is everything okay here...?" The man named Yu Laosan before winked and looked at the "robber hole" on the side.
"Nonsense! Aren't I doing a good job? Get out of here!" The woman in red scarf glared at the speaker angrily, then threw the pole in her hand over, "Yu Laosan, give the pole back to you!"
After taking the pole, Yu Laosan looked it up and down for a few times, then hurriedly shook his head: "Aunt Li, this is not my pole. The ends of my pole are not so dark!"
"..."
After finally driving away the group of troublemakers, the red scarf woman's eyes returned to Wu Fan, and then she patted the latter's shoulder with satisfaction.
"What a good boy! You have such abilities at such a young age. I never thought that this brat in our family would have a friend like you!"
The strength of the red scarf woman's hand became stronger and stronger, causing Wu Fan to almost vomit blood.
On the surface, it seemed that the woman in the red scarf was praising him, but Wu Fan always felt that she had misunderstood her previous words about "old monster" and was taking this opportunity to "retaliate"...
Although three years had passed, the woman in red scarf still felt sad after knowing that this place was an empty tomb. After calming down, she stared at Wang Tieniu's tombstone in a daze.
Wang Xiaochui received Wang Tieniu's order and was already prepared in his heart, but at this moment, he was affected by the emotion of the red scarf woman and couldn't help crying.
As the saying goes: The heart is like grass and trees turning to ashes, and tears are like rain and dew gathering in the ocean.
When the two people's emotions gradually calmed down, Wu Fan spoke out to comfort him, saying that he had properly buried Wang Tieniu's body, and as long as there was a chance in the future, he could help Wang Tieniu return to his roots.
After restoring the land to its original state, they felt that it was really inconvenient to speak here, so the few people could only take the remaining words back to the room.
"Boy! I'm very curious about something. I didn't remember you using a weapon during the fight just now. I wonder where you hid the weapon spirit?" the woman in red scarf asked curiously.
"Mother! My eldest brother is what my father said, a peerless genius who uses his body as a weapon!" Wang Xiaochui said first.
"Oh?" The woman in red scarf did not blame Xiao Zhui for interjecting, but her eyes were full of sparkles, "Boy, what the brat said is true? Can you please show it to me again?"
Perhaps it was an illusion, but the woman's tone was much more respectful than before.
"Although they are similar to a certain extent, my weapon spirit is actually a kind of magic..."
After the recitation of the magic formula was over, a little black ghost emerged from the opening in Wu Fan's palm and screamed at the people in front of him.
"It's so noisy! Just calm down!" Wu Fan felt embarrassed.
"You can't be wrong! This is the weapon spirit!" The woman in red scarf breathed quickly, and after looking at it for a long time, she finally said, "And this weapon spirit actually absorbed the two states of gold and fire..."
"Auntie, how did you see it?" Wu Fan looked in disbelief. Even if he had the eye of the future, he couldn't see any clues about the kid.
"Don't dare, don't dare, just call me Li Honghong..." Upon hearing the word aunt, the woman in red scarf suddenly shivered.
Wu Fan was a little confused, but under his insistence, the red scarf woman could only follow the latter's instructions and change her title.
"Okay... then I will call you Xiaofan..." The woman in red scarf gritted her teeth and continued the previous topic: "To tell you the truth, this is actually a feeling I have had as a blacksmith over the years..."
I heard from Li Honghong that although Wang Tieniu is known as a blacksmith, he already has some problems due to the root cause of the disease when he was young.
He hasn't returned to his old business for several years. Li Honghong has always been helping, and his main task is to sell knives.
Wu Fan nodded when he heard this. No wonder the red scarf woman looked very young, and her muscles were smooth and soft. It seemed to be the reason.
Maybe it was God who destined Li Honghong to be the one she was made for. From the moment she held the hammer, she had a feeling of being one with the hammer, and her proficiency increased day by day, and it didn't take long for her to surpass Wang Tieniu.
One day while forging, she suddenly fell into a strange situation. She was tired of swinging the hammer, and could only see two red lights as the hammer rose and fell, creating two phantoms. .
After Master Wang Tieniu's explanation, it turned out that these two red awns were Li Honghong's weapon spirit!
Wang Tieniu's weapon spirit is metal, so the weapons he forges are gorgeous every time. Li Honghong's weapon spirit belongs to fire. Although the forged weapon lacks a bit of luster, the material is very tough!
It is precisely because of this that Li Honghong is no stranger to these two states, and she can see the strangeness of Wu Fan little ghost at a glance.
When Wu Fan heard this, he was secretly speechless. No wonder Wang Xiaochui had a magical spirit by his side at such a young age. It turned out that his parents were not ordinary people.
But it is this kind of person with extraordinary talents who can withstand the temptation of fame and fortune, remain indifferent, and live his life in an ordinary way by relying on his own ability. This kind of state is really rare in the world.
In today's world, where the source of knowledge has become more convenient, some people want to show it to the world even if they get a little bit of knowledge, and their tails are raised to the sky! His attitude is that everyone is in the dark and he is the only one who knows the truth, but in fact he is only good at verbal disputes, which is really embarrassing...
Wu Fan often heard people say that masters emerge from among the people, but he didn't realize the true meaning until now. If it wasn't a coincidence, how could he know that a blacksmith could be so extraordinary?
"My aunt has such talent, but she can endure mediocrity. This kind of virtue is really worth learning from Wu Fan!" Wu Fan said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
"You said it." After receiving such praise, Li Honghong, who was used to being bold and bold, felt a little feverish on her face, "Actually... I have something to ask you for advice."
"Auntie, it doesn't matter, as long as I can help, I will never refuse." Wu Fan said softly.
"This..." Seeing Wu Fan agreeing so painfully, Li Honghong didn't know how to speak for a moment and hesitated.
"Brother! Let me tell you!" Wang Xiaochui was depressed for a long time and finally got a chance to speak, "Actually, the thing is like this! Like my father, the weapon spirit only appears when I hold a hammer, but my mother is different. Whatever you pick up, the spirit of the weapon will appear on it! So a few times when I was cooking, my mother almost burned down the house..."
"Shut up!" Seeing Wang Xiaochui getting more and more outrageous, Li Honghong frowned and glared aside.
"Xiao Fan... don't listen to this brat's nonsense!" Li Honghong smiled awkwardly and hurriedly got back to the topic: "But there is one thing he said that is right, that is, my weapon spirit is indeed special... But once my hands are empty, No more weapon spirits can be born..."
As he said this, Li Honghong casually picked up a shovel, and saw a red light glowing on the tip of the shovel.
Throwing away the shovel, Li Honghong's weapon spirit also dissipated, and then she looked over expectantly.
This is the first time Wu Fan has seen this kind of situation, but based on his many years of experience, Li Honghong's condition is obviously a kind of "external body".
In a popular sense, this outer body is a change outside of the proper body, an invisible extension of the true body to external objects.
In fact, Wu Fan has seen this kind of situation before, such as Han Qi or Hua Zhi. Their phantom limb techniques can be understood by using the concept of the outer body as an "elephant". However, although there is a gap between the two, "Xiang" is similar, but there are differences in the concept of tangible and intangible.
To put it simply, although Li Honghong's physical body is complete, her elephant is incomplete. As long as she obtains foreign objects to complete the elephant, a weapon spirit will be generated.
In the final analysis, the main reason why Li Honghong is in this situation is that there are differences between men and women.
A woman is pregnant for ten months. Once she gives birth to a new "elephant", the original elephant will appear abnormally.
Gaps that cannot be healed.
That's why there are some special skills in the world that are difficult to achieve once the body is broken. It's also for this reason that I won't mention it.
But what makes Wu Fan strange is that although this weapon spirit itself is not a skill and has no harsh conditions, she can't feel it when her hands are empty, and it is equally impossible to feel it later. After all, Poxiang is not something that can be found casually. Just one thing can make up for what's missing.
So...the reason why Li Honghong can feel the existence of the weapon spirit must be for another reason!
According to the current situation, it is impossible for Li Honghong and Wang Xiaochui to hide anything from themselves. Could it be that there is something unknown among them?
He secretly used his Unexpected Eye, but didn't see anything strange in Li Honghong. But when his eyes fell on the red scarf around the latter's waist, he let out a soft sigh.
"Auntie, where did this red scarf come from?" Wu Fan pointed to the red scarf around Li Honghong's waist.
A trace of the shyness of a young girl appeared on Li Honghong's face: "I have no parents, this is the dowry given to me by my adoptive father...that is, Master Tieniu..."
"Auntie, Xiaofan has a gracious request, can you lend me this thing?"
"Of course, please." Li Honghong was generous and handed over the red scarf directly.
"It's true! There is indeed an afterimage in this...this red scarf!"
Although Wu Fan had already made a guess, he was still stunned after looking at it in person. Those external objects before were just auxiliary, but what really worked was this red scarf!
"Remnant image?" Not only Li Honghong, but also Wang Xiaochui and Feng Hu looked confused.
Feeling that he had lost his composure, Wu Fan hurriedly adjusted his emotions. But when he touched the fine stitches, goosebumps appeared on his body, and he exclaimed again.
"Brother? Are you okay?" Wang Xiaochui said nervously when he saw Wu Fan's shocked face, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
"I'm fine..." Wu Fan wiped his sweat, "Auntie, do you know the name of the senior who gave you the red scarf?"
"I don't know, my adoptive father never told me, and I never asked..." Li Honghong said regretfully, and then she suddenly thought of something and pointed to the back room, "You brat! Go and get the master's portrait!"
"Got it!" Wang Xiaochui walked into the house in a hurry. After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a while, he finally came out in disgrace holding a picture scroll.
"Brother, please look, this is... Oops! Brother, wait a minute, I took the wrong one!" Seeing the fierce tiger on the paper, Wang Xiaochui shrank his neck and hurriedly put it back into the house. After a burst of clattering sounds, he mentioned it again. He came out with a folded scroll, which seemed to have been confirmed in advance.
Wu Fan opened the picture scroll with anxiety, and the shock in his eyes was even stronger, because the person who appeared in front of him turned out to be the old senior he had seen in the Ninth Class of the Underworld! No wonder the sewing method of this red scarf is exactly the same as the opera ghost’s new tablecloth!
Wu Fan was shocked not only by the fact that this old man was Wang Tieniu's master, but also that he really couldn't figure out why everything was somehow related to him?
"Xiaofan, is there anything wrong with this red scarf?" Li Honghong looked nervous, "I have been carrying this scarf with me since I got married, and I have never had any accidents!"
"Auntie, don't be nervous. I just remembered other things... huh?" Just as he was about to return the red scarf, Wu Fan suddenly felt an itch on his hand and saw a thread on the red scarf.
The senior's skills are superb and he should not make such a mistake... Thinking like this, Wu Fan subconsciously reached out and pulled his hand, only to see that the red scarf fell into red lines on the ground in an instant.
"What...what's going on?" Wu Fan didn't expect this to happen, and Wu Fan was a little dumbfounded.
"Ah!" Li Honghong exclaimed when she saw this.
"Sorry! I..." Wufan was about to apologize.
"How could this happen?" Li Honghong picked up the red thread on the ground first, "I finally understand! It turns out... this is the original appearance of the red scarf! Thank you... thank you Xiaofan!"
"ah?"
