Chapter 67 The Grace of a Meal

"The knife is very good, how much is the silver tael?"

The man in the hat closed the knife and looked at the blacksmith.

The blacksmith smiled and waved his hand: "I made it very clear at the beginning that the knife is for you, not to mention silver taels, I won't even accept a copper plate. If you insist on accepting it, you will look down on me."

The man in the hat slowly raised his head: "No, I still have to accept it..."

clang!
The eyes exposed under the hat flashed a stern light, and the right arm instantly exerted force and drew the knife out.

The blacksmith's pupils shrank sharply.

Before he could react, he saw a cold light flashing in front of him, and an invisible blade qi flew out from the blade.

After a breath.

Sheath the knife.

The eyes of the man in the bucket hat have returned to calm, and he can no longer see half of the sternness he had just now.

The blacksmith's face was a little stiff: "You..."

Boom!

A sound came from the tiles at the top of the smithy.

A dozen shattered tiles fell, accompanied by a figure.

This is an ordinary man, dressed in an inconspicuous linen robe, and a sword hanging from his waist can be faintly seen.

His body was shaking constantly, and there was a finger-penetrating wound in his throat, and blood kept pouring out of it.

The man's still open eyes were full of disbelief, as if he never thought that he would die here, at the hands of the man in the hat.

"Almost deceived me."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ren recalled the style of the knife just now.

From the moment the man in the hat suddenly turned to draw the sword, he really thought that the man in the hat was thinking about the sword, and in order to prevent the blacksmith from building the same weapon again, he decided to kill the other party.

No, the person the man in the hat is really going to kill is actually the thief hiding on the roof to eavesdrop.

If it weren't for Jiang Ren to be a murderer, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to react in time.

Although Jiang Ren's line of sight could pass through obstacles, it was limited to within two meters of the blade, so he could not find the thief.

"That Dao Qi should be the inner strength that the blacksmith once mentioned."

Jiang Ren guessed.

The moment the man in the bucket hat swung his sword, a special energy full of lethality entered his body.

Then it turned into a blade, flew out from the blade, penetrated the roof tile, and slit the throat of the lurker.

"Enter. It always feels like the word is used incorrectly."

Jiang Ren shook his head.

As soon as this thought was thrown away, I saw a red light spot the size of a soybean rose from the figure that had turned into a corpse.

"what is that?"

Jiang Ren thought for a moment, and found that he could lead the spot of light to his side.

When the spot of light is near, there is a new discovery.

"This light point seems to be similar to the mysterious energy I cultivated, so can it also be used to strengthen the blade?"

Immediately, Jiang Ren thought of it and did it.

Try to integrate the light spot into the blade, and start to strengthen and improve the hardness of the blade.

Such a sight.

Neither the man in the hat nor the blacksmith responded, the red light spot that was so obvious in Jiang Ren's eyes was invisible to them.

"Brother Nie, your silent move surprised me."

The blacksmith came to his senses and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Feel sorry."

The man in the hat, Nie Qingge's voice was still cold.

Outside, the man in blue who was guarding the shop heard the voice and shouted, "Brother, what happened, I came in?"

The blacksmith immediately scolded: "Who are you looking at the shop when you come in? If something is lost, shall we drink the northwest wind tomorrow?"

"If you don't go in, you won't go in. What are you doing so fiercely?"

The man in Tsing Yi whispered, but he really gave up the idea of ​​going in.

"I don't blame Brother Nie for this trivial matter."

The blacksmith looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "Judging from the tiger's mouth and the bulging temples, this person is not only a good swordsman, but also a master of the acquired realm. What a great hatred for you to be so close to Brother Nie. , climbed to the roof to eavesdrop in broad daylight?"

Nie Qingge replied, "It's not just this one."

"How many others are there?"

The blacksmith immediately looked nervously at the top of his head, as well as the window and wooden door beside him.

Nie Qingge added: "This is the only one who follows me, but it is not the only one who wants to kill me."

"Have you provoked any major forces?"

Hearing this, the blacksmith gradually understood.

Nie Qingge squatted down and groped on the body: "I received a letter and was going to do something, and the faction to which this person belongs wanted me to give up, so I rejected them, so..."

The blacksmith interjected, "So they want to kill you?"

"Yes."

Nie Qingge nodded lightly.

The blacksmith thought thoughtfully: "That is to say, as long as you don't give up for a moment, they will continue to send people to hunt you down?"

"Yes."

"And they are all powerful people in this acquired realm?"

"It could also be higher."

As Nie Qingge spoke, he took out a sheathed dagger and a few silver notes from the clothes of the person in front of him.

With a casual glance, he put them in the inner pocket of his clothes.

The blacksmith thought for a while and couldn't help but say: "For a letter, you are willing to be chased by a big force, and you are not willing to give up?"

"The owner of the letter is kind to me."

Nie Qingge stood up, with unshakable firmness in his calm eyes.

"What kind of kindness is so great that you risk dying on the road, resisting waves of chases and killings, and you have to do it?"

The blacksmith couldn't understand, just dispatching a random person is such a good hand.

If that force gets serious and sends out more powerful people, then the benefactor who once saved him will probably die.

"The grace of a meal."

Nie Qingge said as if recalling: "Once, when I was about to starve to death, he gave me a bowl of rice. If I didn't have that bowl of rice, I would definitely not be able to survive that day, and I wouldn't be able to live well now. I."

"The grace of this meal is indeed a great kindness."

Hearing this sentence, the blacksmith no longer persuaded.

Although he was willing to give away the best weapon he had built for the sake of saving his life, he knew that if he was in Nie Qingge's perspective, he would never put himself in a place where he might die at any time for the sake of a bowl of rice many years ago. situation.

The blacksmith sighed and said, "I'll take care of this corpse. Brother Nie, if you have nothing to do, hurry up. If the forces are slow to respond, the people sent to kill you may be staggered from you. ."

"Thank you!"

Nie Qingge raised his hand, arched it, and turned to leave.

He walked past the shops full of weapons outside, untied the reins tied to the pillars at the entrance, and quickly left on a tall horse with poor coat color.

"Success!"

Jiang Ren, who has never been out of the blacksmith's shop since his birth, did not pay attention to the outside for the first time at this moment.

Because, his previous attempt had the result.

The blood-colored light spot is really effective, and one drop is almost worth four or five hours of penance.

All the blood-colored light spots were used to strengthen the blade, and the hardness was increased by about [-]% on the original basis.

This also means that in addition to penance, he has another way to obtain mysterious energy.

"I just don't know the conditions for this kind of light spot to appear. Is it the people who died around me? Or the people who are going to be killed by me?"

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Ren turned his gaze to the outside world.

At this moment, Nie Qingge had already ridden his horse out of the town, galloping down the khaki-colored avenue.

There were only a few ordinary people around with firewood on their backs. Obviously, it was impossible for the sudden murder just now, and it was even less possible to experiment with the conditions for the light spot to appear.

Jiang Ren retracted his gaze, manipulated the mysterious energy in the blade, and began to increase its hardness and sharpness.

From the size of the light spot and the degree of intensification.

When the mysterious energy in the blade is used up, the hardness may reach twice the initial state.

Blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith just turned his head and found a stack of silver bills on the tool table next to him.

Picking it up, he found that the value was comparable to the knife he gave, and even more than a lot, and he couldn't help shaking his head: "A chivalrous righteous man..."
