Away from the city, in the inner courtyard of the blacksmith shop in the commercial district.
"Xinghe, lock it on the table in the back room. Take it and lock the shop for me and go home." The silversmith looked at the south wind on the wall of the courtyard and said to the dark-skinned boy, "This commercial street is noisy, why don't you tonight?" Don’t even go out.”
Gu Xinghe, who could never listen to others quietly this time, responded obediently. He quickly walked around behind the silversmith and ran to the back room to take the lock. Then he ran between the two of them back to the shop in the front yard. After the sound of the door being locked, the entire blacksmith shop became completely silent.
The silversmith looked away from Nanfeng and turned to look northeast, frowning slightly, "Even if I don't go anywhere here, they can't leave Lijun. If she wants... they will all die. .....!"
Nanfeng placed the folding fan in front of him again and fanned it gently. His narrow eyes only looked at the spine of the long sword that was still held by the silversmith. "There are indeed characters in my sect who can walk in the world who died young." , but if the Seventh Realm can keep both of them in Lijun, I will just kill them myself, so as not to be embarrassed when they move around."
The silversmith looked back at Nanfeng and whispered, "You shouldn't underestimate the shadow next to the prefect."
"You shouldn't underestimate them," Nanfeng Youyouran didn't care at all, "You should have met that person from my sect more than ten years ago, how about that?"
The silversmith remained silent and put the long sword on the slate table again and polished it step by step. There was only the sound of metal friction in the yard. When he polished the word "无影" on the long sword until it was flush with the sword body. , he raised his sword and looked at it, "Not everyone is as talented as her."
"But in my opinion, these two are the two younger generations in my sect who are most likely to achieve such achievements." Nanfeng knelt down again and closed the folding fan, turning his head to look somewhere as if he remembered something. He smiled and said, "Oh, maybe three..."
The silversmith who originally picked up a smaller hammer and was about to strike the writing on the sword's spine stopped with the hammer in mid-air, and then knocked it down hard, breaking the stone table next to the long sword into pieces, "South Wind" , don’t play with fire and burn yourself, there are some things you should know the importance of…”
"Of course," Nan Feng looked at the silversmith's broad back with playful eyes and murmured, "You are indeed a descendant of that lineage..."
The silversmith snorted coldly, and after being stiff for a while, he hammered the long sword with the small hammer again. The sound was small and jingling, "More than ten years ago, when Lu Zu was still alive, Master did not want to get involved in mundane affairs to avoid trouble. He only felt a little The action does not affect the overall situation, but I did not expect that things will develop like this now, but there is no other way. Now the southwestern Hanzhou has just stabilized its position. Since Guizong has no intention of getting involved in a short period of time, there are many things that we can do You can also turn a blind eye, but everything should be done in moderation, some things can be done, and some things... it is best not to even think about it!!"
Nanfeng was speechless when he heard the silversmith mention the word "Master". The two of them were silent for a while, and then he continued, "So what happened more than ten years ago, your lineage is indeed I know..."
The silversmith shook his head, "More than ten years ago, some of my fellow apprentices and I were in Lijun. However, due to our fate, we only knew a few superficial things. I have heard more or less from Luo Tianen over the years. There are also some guesses, but in the end they are just random guesses. As for the master...maybe he knows something," he said while tapping, "Luo Tianen is not a simple person, and what happened today should be him. It’s your handiwork.”
Nanfeng smiled and said, "Is that why you didn't really fight me?"
The silversmith nodded and shook his head, "Luo Tianen is the most interesting person I have met in these years. It's just a pity... There are some things that it is better for you to take over than for a young prefect to do." It is more prudent and appropriate, which is in line with his consistent style."
"Huh," this time it was Nanfeng's turn to snort coldly, and his handsome and extraordinary face immediately became a little smoky, "After all, he is just an incompetent person. He was like this more than ten years ago, and he will still be like this more than ten years later. So," he looked at the silversmith and asked, "In your opinion, who was the driving force behind the great changes in Lijun more than ten years ago...?"
"I don't know," Silversmith, who had always been a bit hesitant about speaking after meeting Nanfeng, blurted out for the first time, "I only vaguely guessed that he might be one of the few chess players at the top of the human race. As for the specific origin of I'm afraid no one can know except the person involved and those in higher positions on the same level." He raised the sword again and looked at Nanfeng squatting on the courtyard wall from the smooth mirror-like spine. , "Those characters are all unfathomable, and they are not something that we can speculate at will."
He emphasized the word "we" and paused, "Whoever faces those people and those things should be careful."
"First Evolution"
Nanfeng nodded seriously, hesitated for a moment and then continued, "Is it possible that she...is still alive?"
The silversmith shook his head again, "Unless Lu Zu can live forever, not many people are willing to easily form such a grudge against your ancestor, so this is something I still can't figure out, because...she is really dead. ....."
The corners of Nanfeng's eyebrows twitched slightly, "We didn't get the news of Luo Tianen's disappearance until long after she ascended the throne. An elder of my sect once spent a drop of his or her efforts to predict it. The result was unlucky, and there was no doubt that it would change. Elephant, so she should still have a glimmer of hope."
The silversmith looked back at Nanfeng in surprise. After a moment, he frowned and shook his head, "I have seen her body with my own eyes. I shouldn't be wrong. Don't forget that your sect is not the only one who can do divination. There are also legends among the human race." Since Emperor Xi's method of divination, after thousands of years of evolution, it has already spawned dozens of branches, the best of which are said to be able to mess up the secrets of heaven. If the roles behind those events more than ten years ago were those who played chess, then their It’s not unusual to have such a master around.”
Nanfeng was completely silent this time.
When the silversmith saw this, he just sighed softly, "Everything in the past seemed to be certain, but in fact, there are infinite variables when everything happens, let alone the future. If she really has that glimmer of hope, I hope I was wrong...but no matter what, this is not something that the young prefect can participate in at this time..."
Before he finished speaking, he turned to look at the shop in the front yard. He heard a slight noise outside the door. It seemed that dozens of people had gathered outside his shop. He heard a familiar boy's voice mixed among the rough male voices. I couldn't help but have a smile.
Nanfeng also turned to look at the front yard, but his expression was already cold, "Thank you for letting me know today, in the future..." He suddenly turned to look somewhere in the commercial street, "Huh?!"
The silversmith on the other side stared at that place almost at the same time, and then roared angrily!
Disappear in place!
