"Who are you? Why are you looking for my master?"
The man looked at Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei and asked.
"Oh, we are... people who have traveled here."
Xiao Chen opened his mouth and almost said it was a tourist.
There is no way, this Xuanyuan Town always makes him feel like he is in some ancient town in his mother's world.
Of course, most of those ancient towns have been commercialized and lost their original style and taste~
"Come to travel? For the west?"
The man came to a sudden.
"Then you came to see my master, what are you doing?"
"I saw a sword in a shop just now. After asking, I found out it came from here, so I came to see the person who made the sword."
Xiao Chen explained.
"I don't know, is it convenient to meet up?"
"You guys want to buy a sword? If you want to buy a sword, it's useless to come here."
The man said.
"No, if you don't buy a sword, you just meet and make friends."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Okay, then wait a moment, I'll go ask my master."
The man took another look, then turned and walked inside.
"It feels like he's full of strength."
Looking at the man's inverted triangle back, Wang Pingbei muttered.
"Hehe, you're right."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"His power is definitely above yours."
"What do you mean?"
Wang Pingbei was taken aback.
"Is he stronger than me?"
"It's not that he is stronger than you, but that he is stronger than you."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Oh, I was shocked. I thought that just anyone is better than me."
Wang Pingbei heaved a sigh of relief.
"What does it mean to be born with supernatural power? That is very suitable for blacksmithing."
"Hehe, the ones with great strength are suitable for blacksmithing? The ones with long legs are suitable for pedaling three rounds?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"What is pedaling three rounds?"
Wang Pingbei didn't understand.
"It's nothing."
Xiao Chen shook his head without explaining.
He thought of Li Hanhou again, Dahan is also born with supernatural power.
Although he has never seen how powerful this man is, he feels... In terms of strength alone, Dahan will definitely not lose to him, and he is even bigger!
"So, Dahan is more suitable for blacksmithing?"
Xiao Chen wanted to laugh and shook his head.
I don't know what this idiot is doing, how the relationship is going.
This... is definitely a straight man of steel!
Ordinary women can't stand him...and can't take a punch from him.
"Come in."
The man reappeared and yelled.
"it is good."
Xiao Chen nodded and led Wang Pingbei into the yard.
"Let's say it first, my master will not forge weapons for you, so don't open your mouth."
The man looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Hehe, we didn't come here to ask for weapons."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Don't worry."
"Well, come in."
The man said, then turned and entered the side room.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, there was heat rushing in.
Obviously, this is where the iron is struck.
An old man, sitting at a table, is drinking tea.
Even though it was a blacksmith's place, the old man's clothes were quite clean and neat, he didn't look like a blacksmith at all.
Even his figure is quite thin, not like a man, Kong Wu's powerful appearance.
"Master, they are the ones looking for you."
The man said to the old man.
"it is good."
The old man nodded and looked at Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei.
"Old blacksmith Zhang, I don't know where you two came from?"
"I met Senior Zhang."
Xiao Chen cupped his hands, quite politely.
Wang Pingbei didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw Xiao Chen being so polite, he immediately surrendered.
He murmured in his heart, is this old blacksmith really a hermit?
Otherwise, how could Xiao Chen have such an attitude?
"The old man is just a blacksmith, not a senior."
The old man waved his hand.
"Please sit down, since you are here, let's have a cup of tea."
"it is good."
Xiao Chen was not pretentious, and sat down.
Wang Pingbei hesitated, but he still didn't sit down, but stood behind Xiao Chen.
The men are standing behind the old man, so they can't lose their momentum!
"Please."
The old man glanced at Wang Pingbei who was standing behind Xiao Chen, and there was a strange look in his eyes.
He poured a cup of tea for Xiao Chen, as for Wang Pingbei... he was standing behind him and didn't sit down, so he obviously didn't plan to drink tea.
"Thank you."
Xiao Chen nodded, picked up the tea, and took a sip.
"This small place doesn't have anything nice to entertain guests."
The old man smiled.
"They're all ordinary things, don't you know how to drink them?"
"Very good. This tea is ordinary, but it has a lot of strength."
Xiao Chen put down his teacup and said.
"Well, it's boring, how to forge? It's suitable for drinking while forging."
The old man nodded with a smile.
"Looking at the outfits of the two of you, are you cultivators?"
"Yes."
Xiao Chen nodded, and repeated what he said to the man just now.
"Well, every year I will provide shopkeeper Zhao with a sword for him to sell..."
The old man nodded.
"The sword you saw was given to him a few days ago..."
"Why don't you open a smithy yourself and sell forged swords?"
Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"Man, I'm old, lazy, and used to being idle..."
The old man waved his hand.
"At this age, why bother to work so hard... I don't like too much contact with people. If I open a blacksmith shop, it's not my intention to welcome and send people away."
"I see."
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"What's more, if you sell one sword a year, it's enough to live on."
The old man took a sip of tea.
"It's too much, and it's useless in this place."
"Hehe, you have a very good mentality. People in the world have this kind of mentality, which is rare."
Xiao Chen praised.
"After a lot of experience, I will naturally look away. They are all things outside the body. If you don't bring them with you when you are born, you won't take them with you when you die."
The old man put down his teacup.
"Let's not talk about me, are you here for the west? In the past few days, there are obviously more people in Xuanyuan Town."
"Ah."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Let's try our luck... As for the crowd, it's because a piece of animal skin was taken out at the Longteng Auction."
"I've heard of it, but it's not true."
The old man smiled.
"For so many years, how many true and false news... Every time there is news, someone will come here, and then leave disappointed. I have seen too much and I am used to it."
"Do you think it's the same this time? Come with hope and leave disappointed?"
Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"You came for the west, I am not good at saying these words to hurt you..."
The old man waved his hand.
"I wish you good luck. What if it is true this time? If it is really Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo, after so many years, there should be a day when we will see the light of day again."
"Senior lives here in seclusion, is he also waiting for Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo to see the sun again?"
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and said slowly.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, a bright light flashed in the depths of the old man's eyes, and then disappeared quickly.
No one noticed, including Xiao Chen.
"You are wrong. My ancestors came from here. Back then, they went out to study art and became cultivators..."
The old man smiled.
"When I was outside, I encountered some things, so I came back... This year has passed, and I don't plan to leave! This place is very good, and the fallen leaves return to their roots."
"In other words, you are considered an aboriginal resident here?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
This is somewhat in his expectation.
"Ah."
The old man nodded.
"From the generation of my ancestors, there have been legends here... There are also many practitioners who come here to find opportunities! My ancestors have strange bones and are suitable for cultivation, so they worshiped the master and left with others."
"So it is."
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Hehe, after he finished his studies, he came back many times and wanted to see if there was a real chance here, but he never found out until he died."
The old man smiled, feeling a little emotional.
"I haven't seen the legendary chance, but attracting so many people can be regarded as giving him a chance... This chance has continued to this day."
Listening to the old man's words, Xiao Chen murmured in his heart, is what he said true?
Are you thinking too much?
But he vaguely felt that it was not that simple.
A blacksmith who can forge a sword is enough to make many forces excited.
That sword is right there, it's impossible for someone who doesn't know it.
The shopkeeper didn't hide it either, and directly mentioned Blacksmith Zhang.
Then the person who bought the sword before just bought the sword and didn't come to see Blacksmith Zhang?
Year after year, Blacksmith Zhang has always been here and never left.
This... is enough to explain something.
"You went to see the sword? How was it?"
Thinking of something, the old man looked at Xiao Chen.
"Hehe, the people who came here before either bought a sword and were interested in me, or they didn't buy it and wanted to come to me to buy a sword."
"That sword...is okay."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said.
"good?"
Before the old man said anything, the man behind him stared.
Obviously, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's evaluation.
"Yes, it's okay."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"I'm sorry, this is the truth... in the sword, it can't be regarded as the best."
The man became even angrier, and stared at Xiao Chen, if not in front of the master, he would have rushed up and punched him away.
"..."
Wang Pingbei also twitched the corner of his mouth, what is Brother Chen doing here?Are you here to mess things up?
"Ha ha."
Suddenly, the old man laughed.
He turned his head and looked at the man: "What did I say? Does it mean that the sword you forged is just getting started?"
"Yes……"
The man let go of his fist and lowered his head.
Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei were stunned. That sword...wasn't blacksmith Zhang?Is it his apprentice?
"It's okay, it's already a good evaluation."
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Chen again.
"I didn't expect that little friend is still a person who knows the goods."
"Hehe, it doesn't count, it's just that I have seen a lot."
Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head.
"It's just that I didn't expect that the sword was not made by you."
"If he wants to try it this year, let him try it. If it makes sense, he will sell it."
The old man was joking.
"You can't eat my food and drink my food year after year. It's time for him to support me."
"Master, don't worry, I will not only support you, but I will also take care of you until your death."
The man looked at the old man and said seriously.
"Cough cough cough..."
Xiao Chen, who had just picked up the tea and took a sip, choked.
He looked up at the man, really... Xiao Xiao is dead.
"..."
The old man's face also twitched, and he pointed inside.
"Go, continue to strike iron."
The man looked at Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei and asked.
"Oh, we are... people who have traveled here."
Xiao Chen opened his mouth and almost said it was a tourist.
There is no way, this Xuanyuan Town always makes him feel like he is in some ancient town in his mother's world.
Of course, most of those ancient towns have been commercialized and lost their original style and taste~

"What's more, if you sell one sword a year, it's enough to live on."
The old man took a sip of tea.
