Although there are only six disciples in Zileifeng's generation, Bu Xiaotian's five senior brothers are all extremely talented. In the last Jiazi Competition among Yuxu Sect, senior brother Xiang Yunwen lost by a small margin. The head disciple, Li Yungui, won the second place in the competition. The other four senior brothers had already reached the fourth level of the "Dao Xuan Jing", surpassing many outstanding disciples from the other four peaks.
If it weren't for the restrictions of the sect rules, I'm afraid the other four peaks would come to the door every day to poach him. With these senior brothers being so outstanding, Bu Xiaotian naturally did not dare to slack off. He practiced hard from the beginning, and finally spent four years cultivating the "Dao Xuan Jing" to the second level, which was considered relatively fast.
Just after breakfast this morning, Bu Xiaotian was about to go into the house to practice. Third senior brother Chu Yungong found Bu Xiaotian and winked and said, "Little junior brother, come on, can you come down the mountain with me?"
"Hello, Third Senior Brother. I wonder why Third Senior Brother wants me to go down the mountain?"
"It's nothing, it's just that we're almost out of rice on the mountain. We're going to the city today to buy some and take a stroll and play, hehe..." Chu Yungong said with a playful smile at the end.
"Ah? Third senior brother, are you going to gamble again?"
Bu Tian was a little helpless. He, his third senior brother, had a free-spirited nature and was very kind to him, but he especially loved gambling. Every time he went down the mountain, he would always go to the gambling shop. He said it was for the sake of fairness, but he never wanted to rely on his wealth. He practiced cheating, but he didn't know whether it was because of his bad luck or his poor gambling skills. Every time he gambled, he lost all his money. The master only knew how to drink and never cared about these things.
"What do you mean you have to gamble again? It's like I go there often!" Chu Yungong heard Bu Xiaotian's words and argued with disapproval.
"Third senior brother, in the past four years, because you lost all the money you used to buy food in gambling, you were punished by second senior brother to carry water five times, chop wood six times, and face the wall eight times..." Bu Xiaotian counted on his fingers.
"Hey, stop, stop!" When Chu Yun Gong heard this, his face suddenly became a little uneasy, and he hurriedly interrupted Bu Xiaotian, "Stop talking, stop talking! I promise not to gamble this time, but just go to the city for a walk. , we will come back after shopping for a while.”
"Forget it, senior brother, I won't go, I still have to practice." Bu Xiaotian stopped being serious with him, but he really didn't want to go down the mountain.
"Hey, little junior brother, there's no rush to practice at this moment! You've never gone down the mountain since you went up the mountain. It's not good to practice like this day and night. Come with me to the city to have fun and relax for yourself. Relaxing, maybe it will be beneficial to your cultivation!" Chu Yungong persuaded Bu Xiaotian.
"I still won't go. I don't know how to wield a sword. It won't be convenient for you to take me with you."
"It's nothing inconvenient. Your senior brother, I have a high level of cultivation. Even if you take five of you, it's a piece of cake! To tell you the truth, it was the second senior brother who asked me to take you. On the one hand, I was afraid that you would practice too hard and be tired. My broken body also makes you stare at me and prevent me from gambling. I finally convinced him to let me go down the mountain, so please take pity on me, senior brother!" Chu Yungong looked pitiful.
"Well... okay, wait for me, I'll get something." Seeing Chu Yungong's pitiful look, Bu Xiaotian couldn't refuse anymore, so he agreed to go down the mountain with him.
"Well, okay, okay! Go quickly!" When Chu Yungong saw Bu Xiaotian agreed, he immediately beamed with joy. Where was the trace of pity?
Bu Xiaotian returned to the room, picked up a rusty long sword leaning on the bedside, turned around and walked out.
This long sword was given to him for self-defense by a kind-hearted hunter who rescued him in the mountains when he was on the run when he was six years old. He has kept it with him ever since.
"What are you doing with this broken sword? It's not a magic weapon." Chu Yungong asked with some confusion when he saw Bu Xiaotian holding the rusty sword.
"I want to take it to the city and find a blacksmith to cast a scabbard for it and remove the rust. The sword can still be used." Bu Xiaotian said and wrapped the sword with a piece of cloth and held it in his arms. .
"Okay, then let's go!" After saying that, Chu Yunggong saw Bu Xiaotian insisting and said nothing more. He pinched the magic formula and saw the long sword on his back unsheathed, changing from its original size to A huge broad sword, one foot wide and six feet long, hung in front of the two of them. Then Chu Yungong jumped lightly and stood on the sword. He rushed towards Xiaotian and waved, "Come on, junior brother, senior brother will take you." Get off the mountain!”
Bu Xiaotian also jumped up, looking at the sword at his feet, feeling very envious.
It would be great if I could fly with a sword sometime.
As if he knew what Bu Xiaotian was thinking, Chu Yun said with a smile: "How are you, little junior brother? Isn't my 'Thunder Sword' majestic? Don't be envious, it won't be long before you can master the Dao Xuan Jing to the third level." Fourth level, then you can cultivate your own magic weapon. When the magic weapon is refined, you can also fly to the sky and escape from the earth like me! Stand still, let's go!" After saying that, I saw the sword carrying the two people. A ray of green light disappeared from the sky instantly.
This was Bu Xiaotian's first time flying in the sky. He was a little nervous at first. After waiting for a while, he found that although the sword under his feet was flying very fast, it was very stable, as if he was stepping on flat ground, so he wasn't so scared anymore. .
There is a blue sky above your head and white clouds below your feet. This feeling is really amazing!
In less than half an hour, the two of them flew not far outside Yuyang City. In order to prevent people from being too frightened when they saw the two coming with swords, Bu Xiaotian and Chu Yungong stood in a deserted area outside the city gate. Fall down in the woods and walk towards the city on foot.
Chu Yungong asked Bu Xiaotian as he walked: "Junior brother, where do you want to go? I know there are many fun places in this city."
"I want to find a blacksmith shop first and get this sword polished."
"Okay, I will take you to the best blacksmith shop in the city to find the best master blacksmith! Speaking of this blacksmith, he is not an ordinary person..." Chu Yungong just talked about it without feeling like he was telling Bu Xiaotian about the city. After reading the news, he led Bu Xiaotian into the city.
In the past few years, something happened in Yuyang City. It was not an earth-shattering event, but it became a topic of conversation for people here after dinner.
One day five years ago, a middle-aged blacksmith came to the city. After he came here, he did not open a blacksmith shop of his own. Instead, he visited several blacksmith shops in the city. In every blacksmith's shop he visited, he would challenge the best blacksmith in the shop.
The blacksmith's challenge is naturally not some martial arts competition. As a blacksmith, his best skill is naturally in blacksmithing and casting. Naturally, the challenge is also the skill of eating.
Naturally, it's a competition, so bets are inevitable.
If the challenged blacksmith wins, he will get a large amount of money. If the middle-aged blacksmith wins, he will have to work for him for five years.
Who among those in this line of work doesn’t have some confidence in their own skills? Especially those old blacksmiths who have been working hard all their lives do not believe that they will lose to this young man.
But what is incredible is that the new blacksmiths came to challenge them one by one, and finally defeated all the blacksmiths!
His skill in forging iron is really good, just like he has been forging iron for hundreds of years. The same material is used to make the same thing, but the things made in his hands are better than those made by other blacksmiths.
All the blacksmiths were convinced of their defeat!
Later, the man built a very large store in the east of the city and brought all the blacksmiths in the city to work in his shop.
Although there was a bet, he not only paid his wages, but also took the initiative to teach his skills to the blacksmiths who worked for him.
Now no one had any grudges about losing to him before.
And those blacksmiths gradually discovered that not only could they learn better craftsmanship, but they could also earn more wages here than they could by opening their own shops.
What’s even more interesting is that according to the accountant in the shop, apart from paying the workers and buying carbon and raw materials, the shop earns only about ten taels of silver every month from the boss. It’s as if he is not a boss at all. In order to make money, he is really a weirdo.
And I heard that the man was very kind to the guys in the shop and very generous. Therefore, although everyone learned his craftsmanship, no one thought about leaving. From then on, the only people left in Yuyang City were This is a blacksmith shop.
However, this man also has a strange temper, that is, it is not easy for him to hit something personally. If he is not willing, even if he has a fortune of ten thousand taels, he will not be able to do so. It is possible not to charge a penny.
No one knows his name. They only know that his surname is Hu. If you are not familiar with him, call him Blacksmith Hu. If you are more respectful, call him Master Hu or Worker Hu. If you are familiar with him, you can also call him Brother Hu. He knows these things. Not too concerned.
The two of them walked around the city for nearly half an hour, and finally arrived in front of a very large shop in the east of the city, where the sound of hammering could be heard.
Chu Yungong took a look at the airy house on all sides and didn't see any signboard. Only a wooden sign with a hammer engraved on it stood beside the door, and then walked into the shop with Bu Tian.
As soon as they entered the door, they felt a heat wave hit their faces. There were several blazing stoves inside, and seven or eight shirtless men were raising their hammers to hit the red-hot iron sheets in front of them. Iron block.
Soon a young man who looked like a boy of twelve or thirteen came up to him and asked enthusiastically: "I wonder what you two guests want to buy? We have everything from swords and weapons to hoes and farm tools here. No matter what it is, as long as it's If it's made of iron, we can sell it! Even if it's something we haven't seen before, as long as you tell the masters what it looks like, we can make it!"
"I want to meet your boss first, I wonder if that's okay?" Chu Yungong responded.
"Of course, you two, please come with me." The boy had been greeting people all day long, and he was also quite discerning. Seeing the extraordinary bearing of the two people, he knew that they were not ordinary people, so he immediately did not dare to neglect, and led The two of them walked to a cubicle on the other side.
After the three people entered, they saw that there was also a blacksmith's furnace in this compartment. There were a lot of things such as hammers and pliers for blacksmithing, but the hammer on the table was larger than the ordinary hammers used for blacksmithing. There was much more, and there was no fire in the furnace. It seemed that this was the place where the strange blacksmith used to make iron.
There was another small cubicle in this cubicle. At this time, the three of them stopped outside the small cubicle and heard the boy call: "Uncle Hu, there are two guests who want to see you."
"Oh, I'm coming right away." A powerful voice came from the small cubicle, and then a middle-aged man who looked like an iron tower walked out of it, "Who wants to see me?"
"It's me, Chu Yungong. This is my junior brother Bu Xiaotian. I would like to ask Master Hu to open the furnace and help us cast a scabbard." Chu Yungong also put away his usual playful smile and turned to the blacksmith. A salute made clear the purpose of their visit.
"Oh? Do you know that I won't open the furnace easily? Let's take a look at your sword first. If I think it's worth opening the furnace, I will open the furnace and cast a scabbard for you. Otherwise, let them cast it for you. Well, their skills are also very good."
"Okay! Junior brother, take out your sword and show it to Master Hu!" Chu Yungong responded to the strong man first, then turned to Bu Xiaotian and said.
