Chapter 544 The wanderer returns home, things have changed and people have changed [6000 words]

Qian Chaoguang smiled and nodded slightly at him: "Uncle Tie, long time no see."

Huo Yutong also showed a smile and said sweetly: "Uncle Tie, long time no see."

The middle-aged man touched his bald head and said with a look of surprise: "My dear, are you really the two of you? Six or seven years have passed and you have become a young man! I almost didn't recognize you." It’s obvious from the way you two dress up that you’ve definitely done well in these years! Okay, boy!”

Qian Chaoguang smiled and said: "It's not bad. We went to the college to study and succeeded. Now we, brother and sister, are staying at the school to work and start a small business along the way."

Tie Yong patted Qian Chaoguang's shoulder and praised repeatedly: "Okay, it's very good, very strong. My dad has often talked about you over the years, always thinking about how you are doing outside. Now I will do it for you." The old man has seen it, and his soul in heaven can feel at ease. How about it, have you not left behind your blacksmithing skills?"

Huo Yutong chuckled: "Of course not. Uncle Tie, you don't know. Now my brother is a formal teacher in the academy. He mainly teaches the forging craft."

"Haha, what a great relationship! If you can teach blacksmithing in the Soul Master Academy, then you are really promising! You can be considered a famous person!"

Looking at Tie Yong laughing loudly, Qian Chaoguang couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.

Things change and people change, nothing more than this.

The blacksmith shop from back then was still there, and the clanking sound of forging still continued, but the person standing in that position was no longer the familiar person.

"Uncle Tie, do you have time at noon? How about we have a meal together? I heard that a new Taotie restaurant has opened in the city, and the taste is surprisingly good."

The middle-aged man waved his hands repeatedly: "You can pull him down quickly. Uncle Tie, I don't have the time right now. I'll take it. No, I don't know what happened to the emperor recently. I just took over a man who forged armor for the army. It’s a big deal, I’m busy every day, I’m so busy that I’m kicking my heels in the back of my head.”

Just as he was speaking, Tie Yong turned his head abruptly and immediately cursed angrily: "You little bastard, put it down! Is the green gold iron forged like that? If you do that, it will be useless!"

Seeing this posture, Qian Chaoguang shook his head and laughed secretly.

This scene was so familiar. When he was learning blacksmithing, he had been taught this by Old Man Tie.

Seeing the bustling business in the blacksmith shop, Qian Chaoguang reached out and touched the storage belt hidden around his waist, and said: "Uncle Tie, you go about your business first. We won't disturb you for now. Let's get together when we have time." . After you have been busy for a while, you can’t stop being disrespectful, right?”

"sure!"

Tie Yong smiled on his face and began to swing the forging hammer in his hand.

What no one except Huo Yutong noticed was that just as Qian Chaoguang turned around, a golden light came out of his hand and landed steadily in the leather bag on Tie Yong's waist.

In the evening, when Tie Yong had finished his busy day and was sorting out the clutter and getting ready to go home and sleep, a small golden object in his pocket attracted his attention.

This is a golden token half the size of a palm.

Engraved on the front is a long knife with a shimmering cold light. It is embedded and carved with silver metal. The technique is extremely superb.

On the back is a blue-gold eye carved with azure gemstones, as deep as a star.

He scratched his bald head, took it out, and held it in his hand.

When he saw the material of the token clearly, Tie Yong covered his mouth and used all his strength to control it, so as not to scream.

This token is actually made entirely of the finest sun gold.

What is the frosted titanium that is so precious that its price is measured in grams?

The fine cloud patterns around it are more gorgeous Red Spirit Warm Jade, which gives an extremely warm feeling when held in the hand.

Of course, the most important thing is not these, but the blue eye on the back of the token.

Isn't that large piece of flawless blue gemstone the most precious star sapphire among gemstones?

Oh my god

Who is so extravagant and uses so many top-quality materials just to create this small token?

Tie Yong held the token and felt his hands trembling.

This is not only a token, this is also the most top-notch storage soul tool!

Although Tie Yong is not a high-level soul master, as a great soul master, he can still recognize the storage soul guide.

He himself has a storage bracelet with one cubic meter of space inside, which Mr. Tie accidentally bought when he was young.

However, just such a golden little thing was enough to buy his entire blacksmith shop, even the land.

Tie Yong swallowed, quickly closed and locked the door of the blacksmith shop, and sat down against the door with the golden token.

When he poured his soul power into the token, he felt his heart beating violently, almost bursting out of his chest.

The 20 cubic meters of storage space inside almost didn't allow Tie Yong to use it.

He estimated it was less before.

Is this enough to buy his blacksmith shop?

It’s enough to buy one street!

Tie Yong tried hard to calm down his mood before taking out the contents of the storage soul guide.

There aren't many things inside, only four items.

A thick book, with the cover saying: "The Spiritual Forging Method" - the original copy of the xxx library of xxx college.

Tie Yong looked hard for a long time under the light of the soul guide lamp, but he couldn't see what the erased writing on it was.

Two metal ingots that look like lapis lazuli but are not very similar.

The two pieces of metal read respectively - Thousand Forging and Spiritual Forging.

These two metal ingots, like this book, made Tie Yong a little confused.

So, he looked at the last thing.

The other object was a letter written on a metal plate, seemingly carved.

The letter was very short, only a few lines in total.

It reads: "In the Pixiu Soul Guidance Shop, Taotie Restaurant, and Taotie Hotel, show this soul guidance tool token to any steward and you will get a 50% discount on any purchase. If you have any difficulties, you can go to any Pixiu Soul Guidance Shop, Taotie Restaurant, Taotie Hotel, and Pixiu Chamber of Commerce branch seek help in the same way."

That night, Tie Yong had a rare insomnia.

In other words, he didn't even think about going to bed.

He stayed in the blacksmith shop all night and read the book "Animistic Blacksmithing".

The contents inside fascinated him deeply.

Until the morning when the blacksmith shop opened, he was still in a daze and couldn't believe that everything that happened last night was true.

The golden soul tool token was hung around his neck, and from time to time he wanted to touch it to see if it was just a dream.

Whether it was the content written in the book or the two metal ingots he had seen, he was enlightened and seemed to have a new understanding of forging.

In the evening, when he was sent out from the splendid Pixiu Soul Guidance Store by the store manager on duty with an extremely warm smile, Tie Yong truly felt the meaning contained in this storage soul guidance device token. huge energy.

To be able to have powerful soul emperors and soul saints greet him with a smile and receive him with the highest standard of VIP treatment, this is simply something that he can't even dream of.

After returning home, Tie Yong covered the token around his neck, as if he suddenly understood something.

His eyes were full of disbelief and disbelief, and he murmured in a low voice: "Chaoguang, Xiaotong, you have really made a name for yourself."

"Crunch."

In a residential area of ​​Xingluo City, a courtyard door that had been sealed for six years was opened today.

The small courtyard is not big and looks empty inside.

Except for a few stone locks and some large barbells carved from stone, there were no other furnishings in the courtyard.

The doors of several huts were still tightly closed, but the chains were covered with dust.

Everything is exactly the same as before leaving.

Qian Chaoguang waved his hand gently, and a holy light cleaning technique swept out, and the entire courtyard suddenly took on a new look.

No matter whether it was inside or outside the house, all the dust was wrapped up in this holy light, condensed into a small ball of earth, and was thrown outside the door.

"Six years"

Huo Yutong murmured, stepped forward slowly, and held the lock on her door.

Just when she took out her keys and was about to open the door and take a look, a noise on the roof suddenly attracted her attention.

It seemed to be a subtle clicking sound of the tiles being touched.

Just when the two of them looked up, a round, furry white head suddenly appeared.

This is a big white cat.

"Meow."

Immediately afterwards, the tiles on the wall began to rattle, which was much more obvious than the previous sound.

Another khaki head was also exposed. When he saw the two of them, he was stunned for a moment and let out a powerful "woof", showing full doubts.

But soon, its nose twitched, its eyes suddenly showed joy, howled loudly, and jumped down from the high wall.

While circling Qian Chaoguang, he wagged his tail happily. From time to time, he would raise his front paws and stick out his tongue, as if he wanted to rest on him.

Qian Chaoguang touched its head, took out a piece of cooked meat from the storage soul guide and stuffed it into its mouth.

"Dahuang, six years have passed and you are getting older, but you still like to lead Xiaobai over the wall."

The big white cat on the roof saw the rhubarb eating happily, hesitated for a moment, jumped down, and fell into Huo Yutong's arms.

Compared to dogs, Xiaobai, a cat, is much more cautious.

After sniffing Huo Yutong for a long time, he finally confirmed that his old neighbor was back, and stretched out his soft little tongue to lick her.

Huo Yutong gently scratched the big white cat's chin, listening to the purring sound, and said with emotion: "Long time no see, Xiaobai, I'm afraid it's time to call you Dabai now."

This man has passed away, but his childhood animal friend is still alive in this world.

I have to say, this is also a kind of luck.

The appearance of Xiaobai and Dahuang finally brought back some happy memories in their hearts, dispelling a lot of depression for the two of them who had just felt sorry for Tie Lao's death.

Seeing the rhubarb devouring rhubarb and the snoring little white, Qian Chaoguang felt more emotional.

Animal life is shorter than human life.

Six years have passed, and time has left more obvious mottled marks on their bodies.

Next time I come again, I'm afraid they will turn into a pile of loess, right?

On the occasion of parting, a cat and a dog sat in the courtyard obediently, watching the two old friends Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong leave.

Qian Chaoguang smiled and shook his head.

With a flick of his finger, two strands of life energy imbued with his soul power entered the bodies of the two little guys, immediately making their vitality much more vigorous.

Extending someone's life is difficult.

But if you want a small animal to live two more years, you can just snap your fingers.

I hope you two are still there when I come back next time.

Qian Chaoguang thought this, and closed the door of the small courtyard again and hung up a big lock.

In the early morning of the next day, a cool breeze blew through this ancient city, bringing a new breath of life to the people living inside.

On a hill fifty miles northwest of Xingluo City, a group of three people were climbing towards the top of the mountain on foot.

This place is very close to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and is one of the few hilly areas in the surrounding area.

Although the autumn wind is bleak, there is still a sense of vitality on this hill.

Under the clear blue sky, the entire hill is mainly golden yellow, dotted with a little bit of red and green. The intertwined three colors spread from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then spread to the surroundings.

Walking in the mountains, the morning dew rolls on the leaves, shining with the warm light cast by the sun.

"This is the place where you have lived since childhood," Qian Duoduo, the tall man, said with emotion as he pushed aside the dead branches blocking the road, "I never expected that you two would have such a background and come from the famous White Tiger Duke's Palace. If Dai Hao finds out then, I don’t know what he will think.”

The usually lively Huo Yutong was uncharacteristically dull today.

She said dullly: "No matter what he feels, it doesn't matter. From today on, my brother and I have nothing to do with the White Tiger Duke's lineage."

"Too."

Qian Duoduo stirred up his soul power again and swept away a few dead branches and leaves along a trail where some traces could still be vaguely seen.

"Speaking of which, are you really not going to make the scene bigger? Chaoguang, your men and horses should not even be able to keep up with the white tiger bodyguard, right?"

Qian Chaoguang waved his hand: "Private matters should be kept private. After all, Xiaotong and I's identities are here. If it gets bigger, both the academy and Xingluo will be embarrassed. From my original intention, even if you come with us on this trip, , I disapprove of it, and it may bring a lot of trouble to the college."

Qian Duoduo snorted hard: "It's not troublesome, bullshit. Our Shrek tradition is to protect our shortcomings! You two are a member of the Poseidon Pavilion and the future master of the Poseidon Pavilion. If your status is not worthy of the academy, then we Hasn’t Shrek become a loser?”

"Besides, even if I don't have the relationship with the academy, as your teacher, it's only natural for me to accompany you. Even Xu Jiawei can't say anything."

"Why, I am a mighty Super Douluo, the first ninth-level soul master in the Douluo Three Kingdoms. I still have problems accompanying my apprentice back home? Even if I admit that I am here to support you, what can he do? What am I?"

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Listening to Qian Duoduo's aggressive and domineering words, Qian Chaoguang showed a helpless smile.

Regarding this return to the Duke's Mansion, Qian Chaoguang originally did not want to involve Shrek.

It's best to keep things private.

As mentioned before, we are now in a sensitive period of confrontation with the Sun and Moon Empire.

The identities of the two siblings, Dai Hao, and the Duchess are extremely sensitive, and they should do their best not to alarm too many people.

The Pixiu Chamber of Commerce is even worse.

If a group of soul masters were brought to seek revenge in a big way, wouldn't it be obvious to the Sun and Moon Empire that the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce has an inseparable relationship with Shrek?

All the hard work that had been put in previously was wasted.

But no matter what, as important members of the Poseidon Pavilion, they must inform Mr. Xuan about matters that may affect the relationship between the two forces.

When Mr. Xuan learned about this, he did not stop him, nor did he ask too much about it.

The old man just said three simple words: "When are you going? Do you need the academy to come forward to support you? Do it with confidence and boldness, the academy supports you in revenge."

In such a situation, of course Shrek does not need to come forward, and Qian Chaoguang does not want Shrek to come forward.

The hatred belongs to Huo Yutong and the Duchess.

It made sense for him to go along as a companion.

Qian Duoduo accompanied them as their teacher, and he was considered a well-known teacher.

After spending a lot of effort and finally rejecting the good intentions of many elders in Poseidon Pavilion, the three masters and disciples embarked on the journey to Xingluo City.

Walking in the mountains, looking at the once familiar plants and trees that had changed somewhat, the brother and sister felt extremely emotional.

Before entering Shrek, they spent a long time on this hill.

This is not only the place where they grew up, but also holds countless beautiful memories for them.

Even without using soul power, with the three people's foot power, they quickly reached the place they were looking for.

In the distance, two stone tombstones that were not too tall but had square carvings appeared in their field of vision.

The tombstone is about one meter high and is carved from the most common bluestone.

The surrounding lush weeds almost completely covered the two tombs, as if no one had been there for a long time.

There are no unnecessary decorations, just a few lines of handwriting clearly written by two different carvers.

The tombstone on the left is slightly older.

It has been neglected and has some mottled marks after years of wind and sun.

Qian Chaoguang waved his right hand lightly, and countless holy flames spread out, burning away all the surrounding weeds, revealing the original appearance of the tomb.

Looking at the tombstone, Huo Yutong's eyes instantly became moist. She quickly took a few steps forward, and the handwriting on the tombstone appeared clearly in front of her eyes.

The daughter of Huo Yun'er's Tomb, Huo Yutong.

This tombstone was carved by the old housekeeper for Huo Yun'er during his lifetime. The handwriting engraved on it is vigorous and powerful, but also smart and elegant.

Huo Yutong's eyes suddenly filled with mist, and she slowly knelt down in front of her mother's tomb.

Tears poured out uncontrollably.

She fell in front of her mother's tombstone and cried bitterly.

"Mom, Mom! I'm back, I'm here to see you!"

After many years of absence, she finally returned.

Over the years, in order to become stronger, she had forgotten all her sleep and food, and almost never rested.

She didn't even dare to think about what her mother was like when she was alive.

More than six years have passed, and she has grown from a young child to a Soul Saint-level powerhouse with twin martial souls, one of the elders of Poseidon Pavilion, and a famous figure on the mainland.

Compared with the past, it can be called a huge difference.

Huo Yutong's greatest wish has always been to avenge his mother and make the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao kneel down in front of his mother's grave to repent.

Today, she is finally back!

The longing for his mother and the sadness in his heart kept pouring out, and the tears turned into endless threads, swaying in front of the mottled tombstone.

Qian Duoduo stepped forward, saluted each of the two tombstones, then squatted next to Huo Yutong and gently patted her back.

Not far to the right of Huo Yun'er's tomb, the handwriting on another tombstone looks a little childish, but it carries a certain unwillingness to believe.

Zhu Qichen's grandson, Qian Chaoguang.

Qian Chaoguang stepped forward, took out the cloth and water from the heavy silver storage bracelet, carefully wiped off the mud on the tombstone, and then slightly polished it with coarse salt to make the entire tombstone brand new. .

Then, he took out the cinnabar and brush he had prepared in advance and re-traced the handwriting on the tombstone.

He reached out and turned over again, and a few delicate green branches were inserted on the grave, with a handful of chrysanthemums placed next to it.

After doing all this, Qian Chaoguang respectfully knelt down in front of the tombstone and kowtowed three times.

Get up, kneel again, and kowtow again.

Get up again, kneel again, and kowtow again.

After the nine kowtows, Qian Chaoguang did not stand up again this time, but knelt down in front of the grave in a dignified manner.

"Grandpa, my unfilial grandson is back to see you!"

Huo Yutong was doing almost the same thing accompanied by Qian Duoduo.

Visit the mother's grave and offer the sacrifices prepared in advance.

Qian Chaoguang took out a small and exquisite incense burner from the heavy silver bracelet, placed it safely in front of the tribute, and lit three sticks of incense respectfully.

"Grandpa, I'm back, and I've brought Xiaotong back. Now, the two of us have come together. Don't worry, everything is fine with us."

"We have lived up to your expectations. Not only did we enter Shrek Academy, we also entered Shrek's inner courtyard and became a member of the Poseidon Pavilion."

"The Pixiu Chamber of Commerce that I established has become one of the top chambers of commerce on the Douluo Continent. It has hundreds of billions of wealth and is as rich as any country. You no longer have to worry about money."

"The spiritual blacksmithing method I created has become a required course for Shrek Soul Master. In the future, the blacksmith profession will surely become the top class in the mainland, alongside soul masters."

"Your grandson has not embarrassed you."
