Crown Sword

Not far away, Gongyangyue threw the finished Fengduo into water to cool it down, and Chao Chen wrapped it in sheepskin and set it with a bell tongue.The thing looks good, but when you shake it vigorously, the sound is not crisp, messy and hoarse, which is very unpleasant.Gong Yangyue snatched it, and tapped his fingers on the shell of Fengduo himself. After hearing a muffled sound, the gap broke open.

"Didn't you say there's no problem?" Chao Chen dodged, fearing that Gong Yangyue would feel uncomfortable, so he smashed this thing on his forehead.

"It stands to reason that it should be safe," said Gongyang Yuezheng, who was resuming the market, and he didn't care about the crow's mouth with him, "I followed the ratio of 'the bell and the cauldron are equal', 'six percent of the gold and one of the tin', how could it be wrong How about making a mold and smelting it, until the green smoke is produced in the furnace, and then pouring it into a solid shape, I can remember these steps clearly." Although he has never forged iron, Xiahou is really good at forging swords, and he has seen it countless times.

The young blacksmith had just returned from delivering the ax with others, and seeing that the two of them were in trouble, he leaned forward and took a look. Unfortunately, he only knows how to make farm tools, knives and axes, and the skills he learned were taught by his elders. For those who don't know it, the so-called 'six all' ratio smelting method has never been heard of, but he can't help it.

Fortunately, the blacksmith is a caring person. He only said that his old master, who was fond of his grandchildren and hadn't blacksmithed for a long time, happened to be in the clan.

The two took the guy and went with him.

The old blacksmith lived at the foot of the south col, with two dogs and a sheep pen at home. At this time, his grandson was sleeping soundly in the felt house, and the old woman was a stable woman. He asked the elder sister-in-law in the tribe to call him away, and he was the only one left. One, sitting on a small horse, cut wooden strips with a file to strengthen the dilapidated fence.

"Master Deer Return!" The young blacksmith called out to the master from a distance of half a field.

It was dark, and the old blacksmith put down his file and chased him out. He searched for a long time before he found someone. Seeing that it was his own apprentice, he immediately scolded: "What kind of master, have you ever seen the master give milk to the baby boy all day long?" Did you piss? Shouting something at the top of your throat, didn’t I tell you, don’t tell anyone that you are my apprentice when you go out to forge iron!”

When the big man heard it, he didn't feel wronged, so he scratched his head and smirked.

Turning on the lamp, Chao Chen saw the blacksmith's appearance clearly. At first glance, his complexion was smoky, and he looked like a shrewd little old man. If he didn't have a broad shoulders and a broad back, he really wouldn't be a blacksmith.Lu Gui was wearing a tattered and patched coat, and a pair of boots on his feet were made of new and old yellow and white fur. They were old and wrapped with water-soaked cowhide strings. The few steps he ran just now made people worry a lot. If you walk around, it will fall apart.

Seeing that there were still customers, Lu Gui grinned again, dragged his apprentice to the side and whispered: "You are right, there are outsiders here, and you want to call him master!" He even stretched his shoulders, feeling a little complacent , "Tell me what's going on? The guy who called the wrong guy asked the customer to come to the door? Okay, whoever said that I am your master, go and make amends, and I will show you the things."

When the apprentice heard something interesting, he patted his thigh and laughed happily: "Oh, no! They want to hit Fengduo, but they lost the feel." The young blacksmith said it tactfully, if he didn't say it was Fengduo, Lu Gui would take it and have a look, Still think that this pile of junk is a bowl.

Gong Yangyue cut to the chase and asked him if he could recover.

"Recovery? You're not a monkey fishing for the moon and daydreaming!" Lu Gui has always been quick to talk about technical matters, and when he heard this, he immediately turned back, but seeing that he had an extraordinary bearing, he didn't look like a poor settler When he came up, he held his throat and pretended to sit up and ponder, "But if you want to beat another one, it will work."

"Master, thank you!" Chao Chen had a solid eye, and immediately bowed his hands.

But Lu Gui didn't move, his eyelids opened a slit, and a smile bloomed on his mouth: "The old man's waist and legs are not good. He hasn't done any work for many years, so he dare not..."

Gong Yangyue threw the remaining half of the coin over, Lu Gui didn't say anything, and quickly went to the house to find someone, Chao Chen couldn't laugh or cry.

In contrast, his apprentice is really an honest person with a solid heart.

It's almost tasteless to take the initiative to pay and be asked for.

"This Master Deer..."

Gong Yangyue pursed her lips and made a silent gesture.

Taking people's money, you have to work hard, Lu Gui is not lazy, he immediately throws the waste into the sheepfold, digs out some stones from the bottom of the box, and babbles while doing it: "Don't say I smashed you, that thing If you look at it, you can’t return it to the furnace, you can only throw it away, it’s wrong to earn two stones, and there is a bottom line for emergency, how can people who want to eat pay back?”

Hearing the words clearly, Chao Chen felt that he was a bit of a villain just now, so he lowered his head in embarrassment, and took the initiative to go to the clay pile to help draw the mold.

During the whole process of forging, Ram Yue kept discussing with the old blacksmith.After hearing the steps he said, Lu Gui said: "I don't know what 'Zhong Ding Zhi Qi' is, but you guessed it was right, put more cassiterite, no matter how beautiful gold objects are, they will be tired, once touched It’s messy. You’re wrong, your style of play is wrong, look at me…”

Afterwards, Lu Gui didn't say much anymore, and concentrated on it until the finished product came out, then he accepted the guy and sat down to gossip.

"That's how it is." Gong Yangyue had to admit that he thought he would be able to see it in the past if he didn't practice fake moves just by looking at them, but in reality, he was far behind when he drilled deeply and learned a lot.

Master Lu Gui hung up the bell tongue, twisted the wool into a thread, strung it on it, threw it to the two boys, sat down and sipped the goat milk, and said casually: "Speaking of which, more than 20 years ago, a man also smashed the goat's milk. I passed a Zhan Fengduo, I heard it was for his wife, coincidentally, he also used the technique of forging a sword, at that time I was not yet an apprentice, so I kindly helped him, "He clapped his hands together Together, there was a crackling sound, "Tell me, let me do this kind of thing, I don't know what fate is called!"

The firewood in the stove crackled, but there was silence in the surrounding area, not even cicadas and insects chirping. Chao Chen and Gong Yangyue looked at each other, and followed his words: "Is it fate, or is it not fate, Mencius?" Zeng said: If you don’t do it, you will do it, it’s heaven; if you don’t do it, it’s fate (note). On the contrary, I feel that it’s fate.”

"Why? What hemorrhoids? Hemorrhoids in life have a shitty relationship with fate?" Lu Gui raised his neck. He can speak a few words of Chinese, but it is still too difficult for him to understand ancient and modern literature, but he is open-minded. I didn’t feel embarrassed when I said some tempting and funny words, but I felt embarrassed. After gulping down the whole pot of goat milk, I closed my eyes, counted with my fingers, and recalled carefully: “It’s the 11th year since I entered the country ( 396) Well, that was 24 years ago, that is, the 35th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (372), yes, the year before my second boy was born, the sister-in-law next door brought a couple back from the pasture..."

----

The second year of Xian'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was also the 35th year of the founding of the country.

This year, the Great Sima Huanwen's power was thrown into the court, and the people of the Jin Kingdom were panicked. Emperor Jianwen Sima Yu was powerless to resist, and his last words were to ask Emperor Huanwen to help him if he could assist him. If he could not, the king could take his place.This move was tantamount to handing over the country. Wang Tanzhi of the Taiyuan Wang family was filled with anxiety and anger when he heard the words. He entered the palace that night to speak out and remonstrate.

This year, with enemies from outside and troubles inside, Jiangzuo was in danger.

This year, the martial arts turmoil was also uneven. The southern martial arts besieged the Tiandu Sect, and approached the Yunhe Temple in Ailao Mountain. The high priest Wuxian died, and Bai Shaoque succeeded as the new leader.In the same year, Xia, Emperor Shige flew a white letter to spread the word to the world, inviting all heroes to worship at Guanyunmen in Qiongjing, the "six-star general" under the command of Fu Jian of the Qin Dynasty picked the mountain gate, Shi Ang, the son of the former master of the pavilion, returned, and tried his best to turn the tide, and a young man surnamed Ji came forward , Two swords singled out the six-star savage general, one-handed skill greatly defeated the emperor's master Wenwu, and has since shaken the world.

This year, for the Gongyang family far north of the Yellow River, is a year of rewriting their fate.

……

After the beginning of spring, Feng Rulian's body deteriorated day by day, and he woke up early today, even coughing constantly.

The rural city of Beidian is remote and bitterly cold. There is no medical center or sitting doctor in the city. Occasionally there are wandering doctors, but perhaps because of bad luck, I have not met any of them today. Gong Yangqi can only follow the earthwork from the mountains in the past He spent a little money to ask the farmers to pick some of them, and he went to Helan Mountain to dig the rest himself.

As the sun was rising, the number of travelers crossing the mountain increased sharply, and there were also a lot of vendors pulling carts and setting up stalls on the road. The most eye-catching ones were the craftsmen selling Fengduo.

Next month will be Feng Rulian's birthday, he has spotted a Zhan Fengduo and wants to buy it as a gift.

However, a girl wearing a felt hat and pigtails suddenly crowded in front of the stall, took out the gems, threw them into the clay bowl of the craftsman like beans, and said loudly: "I want the one you have. , but it needs to be inlaid with seven treasures, here, everything is here, and the rest is your reward!"

There are nine precious stones, they are not big, but they are pure and free of impurities, obviously they are expensive, after removing the seven treasures such as purple gold, colored glaze, giant clam, and amber, there are two left.

The craftsman looked straight at him immediately, but he couldn't make up his mind, after all, the thing had already been promised to his family, and the man with the sword on his waist looked like a practicing family boy, not easy to mess with, so he could only look forward to it. I hope that people can retreat in spite of difficulties, and don't teach him that business is difficult.

Unexpectedly, Gongyang Qi hadn't spoken yet, but the girl saw the eyes of the two of them clearly, understood it instantly, rolled up the things with her hands, turned around and left, muttering in her mouth: "The stinky man fell in love with it, I don't want it!" She spoke Xianbei dialect, which Gongyang knew a little bit, but not profoundly, and she couldn't understand it if she spoke too fast, so she habitually frowned.Seeing him like this, the girl pursed her lips, then waved her hands and replied in Chinese: "Forget it, I'll leave it to you!"

The stall owner was slightly dissatisfied, and while carving, he said to himself: "A good business has gone bad."

Gongyang Qi saw it, and couldn't help shaking his head. He wasn't angry with the craftsman, but he felt that the girl was so straightforward, and he, a big man, was stingy and out of style, so he wanted to The beauty of an adult, she called twice and chased after her.

Who would have thought that when the girl heard the wind, instead of slowing down, she quickened her pace. Gong Yangqi had no choice but to stretch out his hand to press her shoulder.

Before the word "waiting" was out of the mouth, there was a "crash", and the woman in front of her drew out her scimitar and slashed at him without saying a word.Gongyang Qi had no choice but to take the move with his sword, and beat her to pieces.

"It is you!"

Only then did the girl recognize him, took back her weapon, laughed dryly, and said quickly: "I thought it was someone from the Helan tribe. Seeing how you are dressed, you must be from Jin Dynasty. I have given you all the things. What do you want?"

"Misunderstanding, I want to ask the girl, is Fengduo urgent?"

"It's urgent and urgent, my father... my father is seriously ill. On the way here, I heard monks from the east talk about the "Infinite Life Sutra". It mentioned the seven treasures of Buddha, so I collected them carefully and wanted to make a wind bell to hang under the Garan Buddha Pagoda. , and pray with him." The girl didn't have a heart, and he answered whatever he asked.

Zhongyuan always puts filial piety first, Gongyang Qi heard that she was so determined to be a father, and he was unwilling to fight, so he made an excuse, saying that he didn't have to take it, and gave it to her.

The girl thanked him casually. Seeing his fair complexion and handsome appearance, she couldn't help but look at him more. She changed her mind and was not in a hurry to buy things. Suddenly she drew her knife and confronted him, boasting: "I I thought you people from Jin were all sour bookworms, but I didn't expect you to be so good at martial arts, and you are as good as the men in my clan!"

She put away the scimitar and said with a smile, "I tell you, I've taken a fancy to you!"

However, Gongyang Qi's face changed drastically, and he refused with righteous words: "Miss, be careful, I already have a family." After saying that, he took the herbal medicine and left coldly, even the rest of Feng Duo didn't want to look at it.

"Oh, that's a pity."

The girl made a heartless joke, went back to the booth, and told the request just now, the craftsman hurriedly took out the rough embryo, pointed to the hollow groove carved on it, and said flatteringly: "Look at the sword-wielding man chasing after it." , I knew you were going to turn back, no, it was prepared a long time ago, take a look—"

"You try it first." The girl threw out the gem impatiently, leaned her back on the wooden cart, and looked back for the figure until there was no trace of anyone.

It is said that money can make ghosts turn the mill, and the craftsman finished the work quickly, and when he offered it with both hands, he praised a few good words and waited to receive the money.The more the girl thought about the demeanor and charm of the swordsman just now, the more she couldn't bear the face of disliking the poor and loving the rich, so she took her things and only paid ordinary wages when she left.

When she walked around the corner, she bought a roast leg of lamb and ate it as she walked. When she heard the craftsman's tongue gossip, she turned her head and stared, making a contemptuous gesture.
