After hearing this, Bu Xiaotian untied the long sword on his back, untied the cloth strips wrapped around the long sword, and then handed the long sword to Blacksmith Hu.
The moment he saw the long sword, Hu Tiejiang's eyes flashed. He picked up the sword very carefully, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then praised: "What a sword! If I read it correctly, this should be The legendary divine sword 'Ganjiang', right?" Although there was a hint of doubt in his tone, he was even more confident.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Chu Yungong and Bu Xiaotian both had strange looks in their eyes, and looked at Hu Tiejiang in surprise.
"Did you make a mistake? Or are you just looking for fun with me and the two of you? This is just a rusty broken sword. How could it be the legendary sword 'Ganjiang'? How could it be the legendary sword like this? !”
Although both of them were a little surprised by what the blacksmith in front of them said at first, seeing that his expression was serious and not joking, they couldn't help but believe it.
They were not afraid of the other party robbing him. Firstly, there was no greed in the strong man's eyes. Secondly, both the brothers and fellow disciples were upright and upright. So what if he was really greedy?
Hu Tiejiang did not immediately answer Chu Yungong's words. He first said to the boy next to him who was also curious: "You go out to greet other guests first."
After the boy exited the compartment, the strong man said: "Haha, of course I can't be mistaken. Although I have never seen this sword, who knows the names of the ten divine swords? Maybe there are not many in the world. I have seen them personally, but there are detailed records about them in "Sword Record".
Although this sword looks very shabby, there is a unique sword charm in it, which is unique to 'ganjiang', so I will never admit it wrong! "
"Oh? I wonder who you are? I don't think you are an ordinary blacksmith, right? Where did you learn from it?"
Chu Yungong narrowed his eyes at this time and stared at Blacksmith Hu with some caution. At this time, he still didn't understand that the man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary blacksmith.
"I'm just an ordinary blacksmith, and my master is a woodcutter. Even you don't know me. You don't have to be afraid. If I have any ill intentions towards you, your shallow cultivation is not enough to see it!" Blacksmith Hu! Then he chuckled and didn't feel dissatisfied at all with Chu Yungong's questioning.
"Hey! You're a man who can't tell lies. How can you, a blacksmith's master, be a woodcutter? Then my old cat's wife is still a big mouse!"
Seeing that Hu Tiejiang did not have any ill intentions, Chu Yunggong knew that if he really made a move, he would not be his opponent at all, so he simply relaxed and started talking nonsense.
"Why don't you believe it? My master said that there is no difference between using an ax to chop down trees and using a hammer to strike iron. It's just a matter of strength. The master taught me how to use strength. He originally wanted me to chop down trees with him. , but I don’t like cutting down trees in the deep mountains and forests all day, it’s too boring. So I figured out how to blacksmith. My master didn’t force me to be a woodcutter like him, so he just let me do it. Yes." Seeing that Chu Yungong didn't believe it, the man was not in a hurry and explained slowly.
"That makes sense, so I'll just believe you." Chu Yungong pondered for a moment, feeling that Hu Tiejiang's words did seem to make some sense, so he stopped going into details.
"That's right!" Hu Tiejiang smiled when he saw that Chu Yungong was no longer serious.
At this time, Chu Yungong spoke again: "Then do you think this sword is worth letting you open the furnace?"
I thought that Tiejiang Hu would happily agree, but unexpectedly he shook his head and refused: "No."
"Huh? Why? Are all the ten divine swords worthy of your taking action once?" Chu Yunggong was a little stunned when he saw that Hu Tiejiang still refused.
"Of course not! Although I am very confident in my craftsmanship, I am not that arrogant yet!
When I say no, I mean that I am not capable enough. Although I am unique in my ability and can forge most items in the world, there are still some things that I cannot forge, and the top ten divine swords are among them. one.
As a divine sword handed down from ancient times, even things related to it cannot be made and treated casually, otherwise it will only insult this treasure. "Tiejiang Hu looked very serious when he spoke.
"Uh, okay then. Junior brother, it seems that your scabbard is out of business today." Seeing the way Hu Tiejiang said this, Chu Yungong knew that he had made up his mind and could not persuade the other party today. He was about to take Bu Tian away.
But just as the two were about to leave, Tiejiang Hu said again: "Wait!"
"What are you doing? Didn't you say you can't make scabbards for us? Have you changed your mind again?" Chu Yungong turned around and asked with some confusion.
"Haha, although I can't make a scabbard for you, I won't let you go home empty-handed." Blacksmith Hu said with a slight smile.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Chu Yungong and Bu Xiaotian were confused by Hu Tiejiang.
"What do you think this is?" Tiejiang Hu said, opening a big box behind him and taking out a long object wrapped in black cloth. When he untied the black cloth, he saw that the object was a Scabbard.
"It is said that this scabbard was also made by the ancient master swordsmith. It comes from the same source as the sword in this little brother's hand. Let's see if it fits." After saying that, he handed the scabbard in his hand to Bu Xiaotian. .
Bu Xiaotian took the scabbard and saw that its body was dark green with strange lines on it, which actually matched the lines on the hilt of his sword very well.
When Bu Xiaotian inserted the long sword in his other hand into the scabbard, he found that the two fit perfectly, as if the scabbard was originally made for the long sword in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Chu Yungong and Bu Xiaotian couldn't help showing a bit of surprise on their faces.
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's reaction, Hu Tiejiang spoke again: "How is it? It matches well, right?"
"This... this seems to have been the scabbard of 'Go-Jiang'. I wonder where you got this, Uncle Hu?" Bu Xiaotian asked in surprise.
"Actually, this scabbard was given to me by my master. He asked me to take this scabbard to Yuyang City, saying that one day a young man would come to me to make a scabbard, and he would be the destined person for this scabbard.
But he didn't go into details, he just said that as soon as I see this young man, I will know that he is the person I am looking for.
After I came here, I was a little worried at first. If I just opened an ordinary blacksmith shop, you might not come to me. I was afraid of missing out, so I thought of a way to let all the blacksmiths in Yuyang City Come to me, and you will come to me. "
"So that's it. Let me just say that things in the past few years are a bit unusual!" Chu Yungong nodded thoughtfully and said.
"In the past few years, there have been many young people who have come to my place to make scabbards, but they are all ordinary people, and the swords they hold are also very ordinary. Until I saw you two today and found that they are not ordinary people, I was a little suspicious. It wasn't until I saw the 'Go-Jiang' in your hands that I was sure that you were the person I was looking for." Speaking of this, Hu Tiejiang's eyes showed excitement.
"I wonder what senior wants to do with me?" Bu Xiaotian asked in confusion. At the same time, he was also curious about who the master of Tiejiang Hu was. He seemed to have anticipated everything today.
But since Tiejiang Hu didn't say it clearly at the beginning, that is, he didn't intend to reveal this, so it was hard for him to ask too many questions.
"I don't need you to do anything. Master just asked me to hand this scabbard to you. Now I have finished what Master asked me to do, and it won't be long before I have to leave."
"In that case, thank you very much, senior!" Bu Xiaotian bowed his hands and said.
"By the way, I wonder if senior can do me one more favor?"
"Oh? I don't know what it is?"
Bu Xiaotian pulled out the sword and pointed at the rust on the sword.
"Senior has also seen that this sword is stained with rust. This junior has been grinding it for a long time and has been unable to remove it. I wonder if senior can help this junior remove these rust stains?"
"I'm afraid this will disappoint my little brother!" Tiejiang Hu shook his head and said, "Little brother, do you know that this is not an ordinary rust stain?"
"Junior also knows that this rust stain is unusual, otherwise it would not be difficult to remove, but I don't know why it is like this. I would like to ask senior to explain it." Bu Xiaotian was not disappointed when he heard this and asked.
"The Divine Sword has a spirit. This seemingly thin layer of rust is the spiritual cocoon of this Divine Sword."
As if he knew what Bu Xiaotian was going to ask, Tiejiang Hu paused and continued: "This spiritual cocoon is the condensed spirit of the divine sword itself. It originally wrapped the entire sword body. When the spiritual cocoon is there, the sword's spirituality will be exhausted." They are all restrained and look inferior to ordinary weapons. They will only be unsealed when they meet an owner they recognize."
"Although the sword is stained with rust, the rust does not completely cover the sword body, indicating that its spiritual cocoon has been untied to some extent, otherwise even I would not be able to feel the sword's inner charm."
Having said this, Bu Xiaotian also remembered that when he got this sword, the sword body was indeed completely covered with rust and remained unchanged until he was seriously injured in an attack and was picked up by his master and brought back to the mountain. He woke up. The rust on the sword has indeed become less rusty since I arrived.
"If you want this spiritual cocoon to disappear completely, you need to be fully recognized by this sword. If you forcefully erase the spiritual cocoon, the sword's spirituality will not survive!" Seeing that Bu Xiaotian seemed to have some understanding, Hu Tiejiang added. .
"I see, that junior won't bother you anymore!" Bu Xiaotian said as he bowed his hand to Tiejiang Hu.
Chu Yungong also said goodbye: "Since the matter here is over now, it's time for the two juniors to say goodbye. See you later!"
Just as the two turned around again to leave, they heard Tiejiang Hu shouting from behind again: "Wait a minute!"
"What? Do fellow Taoists want to collect money?" Chu Yun Gong asked nervously as he covered the money bag around his waist.
This scabbard is very extraordinary at first glance. If the other party wants money, the money I have will definitely not be enough.
"Haha, money and money are all things outside the body. How can we as cultivators want such common things? I just suddenly remembered what Master asked me to tell the person who got the scabbard, and I almost forgot." Tiejiang Hu scratched his head with some embarrassment. He said scratching his head.
"I wonder if your respected master has any advice?" Bu Xiaotian asked.
"Master said that good and evil exist in the heart. If there is a devil in the heart, even if you are in the light, you will still be a devil. If you don't lose your original intention, you can still be on the right path even if you fall into the devil's cave!" Hu Tiejiang looked serious when he said this, and there was something a bit strange about it. Taste of superiors.
"Junior, please remember the teachings of our seniors!" Bu Xiaotian also replied seriously.
Tiejiang Hu gave the two of them a sense of incomprehension, so Tiejiang Hu's master would definitely not be a simple person.
"Okay, it's okay this time, you can go." After finishing speaking, Tiejiang Hu returned to the cubicle.
The two said goodbye to Blacksmith Hu, left the blacksmith shop and walked towards the city.
Not long after, the two of them appeared in front of a luxurious restaurant in the city. The restaurant's signboard read the three characters "Zui Xian Restaurant".
Bu Xiaotian has never seen such a beautiful house. Although the main hall "Zhenlei Palace" on Purple Thunder Peak is grand, it does not have the aura of wealth and wealth that this restaurant exudes. Even the houses are taller than other nearby restaurants. It looked so majestic that Bu Tian was stunned.
Chu Yungong glanced at Bu Tian with a smile, patted his shoulder and said, "How do you like it? Is it grand? This is the best restaurant in Yuyang City! Today, senior brother will give you a feast!"
Then he took Bu Xiaotian into the restaurant.
As soon as the two of them entered the restaurant, they were greeted by a person who looked like a very smart waiter. He greeted warmly: "Can you please tell me whether you are a guest or staying in a hotel?"
"For dinner, is there a private room by the window on the top floor?" Chu Yungong asked directly, as if he was very familiar with this place.
"Yes, yes! I will lead the two guests up right now. Please follow me!"
After finishing speaking, the waiter led the two of them, and soon led them to a compartment by the window on the top floor. Then he asked the two of them: "I wonder what you two guests would like to eat?"
"Let's have a piece of sweet and sour mandarin fish, a piece of grouse with lotus leaves, another piece of top-quality cloud mushrooms, a few side dishes, and a pot of good 'immortal drunkenness'." Chu Yungong ordered it very familiarly. Several dishes.
"Sir, it seems that you are a regular customer of our Zuixian Restaurant. These dishes are all our signature dishes, and this 'Xianren Zui' is a specialty of our restaurant! Please wait a moment, the dishes will be served soon. Come!" After saying this, the waiter exited the room.
After the waiter left, Bu Xiaocai said, "Third senior brother, do you often come here to eat?"
"Hehe, of course, this is the best restaurant in the city. It is a century-old restaurant with a complete range of dishes, not to mention the taste. I come here for a meal every time I go down the mountain, so I am very familiar with this place! "Chu Yungong chuckled and said somewhat proudly.
