Is it really the Chaos Cloak Hammer? Tang San's father's decadent figure appeared in front of him. Could it be that his father was originally an excellent blacksmith
"Third uncle, I don't know if this is the shroud hammering method. This is what my father taught me."
Shi Sanchang let out a breath and laughed heartily: "It seems that I have picked up a treasure this time. The employment conditions just now are invalid. For the time being, you will be paid the same as everyone else's wages, one Silver Soul Coin per month. If the business is good , plus a commission."
In this way, Tang San officially became a member of Shi San's blacksmith shop and began to live a fulfilling life.
The courses in the academy are of no importance to him, and the teachings of the masters are much more useful than the basic theories taught by the teachers of the academy.
He also carefully read the book that Grandmaster gave him. Just as he expected, the method of spiritual power cultivation proposed by Grandmaster is very similar to the running route of internal power cultivation. Of course, this is only the theoretical design of the master after all, and there is still a certain distance between it and the real method of internal cultivation, not to mention the Xuantian Gong that Tangmen has tempered thousands of times.
Xiao Wu successfully obtained the title of Soul Master, and after becoming the Xiao Wu sister recognized by the academy, the life of a working student became easier and more comfortable.
Every morning, Tang San would take advantage of Chaoyang's new life to cultivate his Purple Demon Eyes as usual. He would have regular classes in the morning, work at the blacksmith shop in the afternoon, and listen to the master's teaching in the evening. At night, they practice Xuantian Gong. It can be said that every day is absolutely fulfilling for him.
In Shi San's blacksmith shop, Tang San gained everyone's approval in a very short time. Shi San entrusted him with the task of refining the metal. In his spare time, Tang San used some discarded scraps to make his own extraction, and started His hidden weapon manufacturing industry. Of course, he was just making some parts in the blacksmith, and the real assembly would come after returning to the academy.
With her own tyrannical strength and Xiao Chenyu's help, Xiao Wu quickly became the leader recognized by all the students of the entire Nuoding Elementary Spirit Master Academy. She had a much more leisurely life than Tang San, sometimes, even Didn't even go to class. Tang San couldn't even see how she cultivated. But Xiao Wu's strength has been steadily improving.
In Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy, a semester is a year. During the whole process, students are not allowed to go home, but their relatives can come to visit. Tang San looked forward to his father's arrival more than once, but until the end of the semester, he didn't see any trace of Tang Hao. Fortunately, his life is full enough, and there is not much time to miss.
As for the Spirit Hall, not long after Tang San conducted the spirit master evaluation, the people from the Spirit Hall came to Nuoding Academy to find the master. The master didn't tell Tang San what they were talking about, and Tang San didn't ask. But from the more smiles on Grandmaster's face than usual, Tang San guessed that the relationship between Spirit Hall and Grandmaster should have become much better.
"Xiao Wu, it's a holiday tomorrow, do you want to go home?" Tang San said to Xiao Wu while packing his luggage.
A school year passed, and he was finally able to go home to see his father. He had asked Shi San for leave this afternoon at the blacksmith shop. He also bought a brand new casting hammer and was going to take it back to his father.
Since Tang San joined Shi San's blacksmith shop, the quality of the various weapons and equipment produced by the blacksmith shop has improved by a level, and business has also improved. Now Tang San's salary has reached five silver soul coins per month, equivalent to As much as half of the Soul Master's subsidy.
Xiao Wu was leaning on the bed, her eyes showed a bit of loneliness, which was very different from her usual lively and cheerful, "I won't go home, maybe, just stay in the academy."
Tang San was stunned for a moment, "It's been a year, why don't you go home and take a look?"
Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Little San, isn't your home not far from the academy? Otherwise, let me go back to play with you, how about it? Anyway, Wang Sheng and Xiao Chenyu both went to attend the intermediate spirit master academy. The exam is over, and no one will play with me."
Tang San smiled, after a year of getting along with him, he has gotten to know Xiao Wu fairly well, this little girl is lively and active, she always looks like she is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, when she pretends to be gentle, she looks like a A cute doll, but once she gets angry, her title of Miss Noding is not for nothing. In the entire academy, I don't know how many students have suffered from her.
"My family is very poor, and there is nothing to entertain you."
Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, stared at Tang San with big eyes and said, "You save a lot on your monthly allowance, you're not willing to spend it, are you afraid of entertaining me?"
Tang San stretched out his right hand with a smile, "Speaking of subsidies, I suddenly remembered that someone still owes me six silver coins."
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, her pink and tender face showed a bit of embarrassment. The subsidy of one gold coin per month is definitely not too small, but she is also very generous with her money. Regardless of whether it's useful or not, now she already has her own bedding and doesn't need to share it with Tang San. She, who has never been able to manage money, borrows from Tang San once she has no money to spend, it has become a habit.
"Isn't it just six silver coins? I'll pay you back when I send the subsidy. You haven't said whether you want me to go with you."
Tang San smiled and said, "Go if you want. However, my father's temper is not very good."
Xiao Wu said nonchalantly, "I'm so cute, your father will definitely like me." As she spoke, she winked at Tang San with a gentle look in her clothes.
Others might be deceived by her appearance. Tang San saw too many scenes of her volcanic eruption, but shook his head helplessly, not eating her at all. "The beauty trick doesn't need to be used for me. Fortunately, you are only seven years old now. If you were older, you might have a bit of a vixen talent."
"Fox spirit? What is it?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
Tang San said with a smile: "It's a kind of soul beast turned into a spirit, specializing in seducing men."
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, looking at Tang San's eyes suddenly became a little weird, in a flash, her emotions suddenly became excited, "Go to hell, dare to say that I am a vixen, I want to duel with you." Saying that, she jumped up from her bed and rushed towards Tang San.
The other working-students have long been accustomed to this scene. The fight between Sister Xiao Wu and Tang San has long been accustomed to them. If there is a day when the two do not fight a few times, maybe they will not comfortable.
Early the next morning, when Tang San hit the road, there was a little girl jumping around, wearing the school uniform of Notting College, leaving Notting City and heading towards the Holy Spirit Village.
The past year has been extremely fulfilling and satisfying for Tang San, breaking through the bottleneck of the first stage of Xuan Tian Gong, and thanks to his hard work, Xuan Tian Gong has made great progress. . According to his own calculations, he should have already reached the upper-middle level of the second tier at this time. According to his soul power calculations, he should be around 16th to 17th rank.
In the academy, there was only one Xiao Wu who could compare with him in terms of spirit power. Although he didn't see Xiao Wu cultivating much, the two were always not far behind when comparing spirit power, and sometimes Tang San had the upper hand. , and sometimes it will be overtaken by Xiao Wu. Although they are both children, it is inevitable that neither of them will obey the other.
At the beginning, senior students like Xiao Chenyu and Wang Sheng joined in occasionally, but with the rapid rise of Tang San and Xiao Wu's spirit power, no one bothered them anymore. Just ask, who wants to become What about the existence of sandbags
So, although Xiao Wu was nominally the boss of all the students of Nuoding, in fact, when Xiao Chenyu and the others called Tang San, they would also call him little third brother.
When Tang San and Xiao Wu competed against each other, losses always outweighed wins. Xiao Wu's attack methods are endless, especially her soft skills, which give people a feeling like a rice cake. Tang San was almost certain to lose. Even using a spirit ring, with the entanglement and paralyzing effects of the Blue Silver Grass, at most it would be a tie with Xiao Wu.
As for the hidden weapon that Tang San secretly practiced, it was not used in the sparring. One was because the hidden weapon was too lethal and could hurt people too easily. Melee capability. Perhaps it was because the two had a good role in promoting each other as sparring. In terms of combat, they went hand in hand. The teachers in the academy were too lazy to care about them. In Nuoding, although Tang San and Xiao Wu were only in the first year, they had already become famous geniuses in the academy.
"How far is it?" Xiao Wu asked casually, looking east and west.
"It's almost there. Do you see that mountain over there? Our Holy Spirit Village is at the foot of the mountain." As he was about to arrive home, Tang San couldn't help feeling a little excited, if it wasn't for the rules of Notting College that he had to go back at night The academy lived in, and if there were teachers doing house rounds every day, maybe Tang San would have gone home long ago to see his father. I haven't seen you for a year, Dad, how are you
Perhaps it was because of being an orphan in the previous life, in this life, Tang San cherished this family affection very much.
I touched the Twenty-Four Bridge Mingyueye at the waist. There were the casting hammer he brought to his father, brand new clothes, and even a few bottles of good wine.
The small mountain village where he had lived for six years was already in sight. For some reason, an inexplicable emotion gradually emerged in Tang San's heart. If he had to describe it in one sentence, he would say, it feels good to have a home. Even if the family is just me and my father.
Soon, the two had entered the Holy Spirit Village. Tang San's home was at the head of the village. He raised his hand and pointed to the broken sign on the roof. Tang San smiled at Xiao Wu and said, "Look, that's my home."
Home was in front of him, Tang San's mood became agitated unconsciously, the pace under his feet quickened, three steps and two steps to the door of the house.
The door was not closed like when he left. This has always been Tang Hao's habit. After all, there is nothing that can be stolen from his blacksmith shop.
"Dad, I'm back." Tang San shouted excitedly.
Xiao Wu had never seen Tang San in such a mood before, standing behind him looking at him curiously, in her impression, Tang San was a very gentle friend who usually doesn't talk much, but always feels so busy , there is always something to do. Only in the discussion with him can we see his serious side. And even if he lost to himself, he had never seen him angry or excited.
While shouting, Tang San quickly walked inside.
Nothing seems to have changed. The blacksmith shop is still so messy, even more messy than before he left. The messy things are placed on the ground, and the tattered feeling brings him more kindness.
"Oh, little San, it's you who's back." A gentle voice sounded. A person came out of it.
Seeing him, Tang San couldn't help stunned for a moment, "Grandpa Jack, you're here too, where's my dad?"
The one who came out was the elder Jack of the Holy Spirit Village. With a wry smile on his face, he handed a piece of paper to Tang San and said, "Look at it, this is what your father left behind. I'll find it in the morning. He originally wanted him to pick you up with me, but I didn't expect you to come back."
A trace of nervousness appeared in Tang San's heart, he hurriedly took the paper handed by Old Jack and looked down.
There are only a few simple lines on the paper, and the handwriting is a bit scribbled, but it can't hide the rough and unrestrained air.
"Little three:
By the time you read this letter, I am gone. Don't go to me, you can't find me.
Although you are still young, you have the ability to take care of yourself. Young eagles can fly earlier only when they spread their wings.
Don't worry about me, you have inherited a lot of your mother's delicacy in your character. Dad is a useless person. You are getting older, and Dad needs to get back some things that should belong to me. One day, father and son, we will meet again.
I want you to be strong, but I don't want you to be strong, your own path, your own choice.
If one day you feel that the profession of soul master is not good, then go back to the Holy Soul Village and become a blacksmith like me.
Do not read.
Tang Hao. "
Looking at the paper in his hand, Tang San was stunned, his full of joy instantly turned into helpless loss.
Daddy is gone, Daddy, why are you leaving
Old Jack looked at Tang San's absent-minded look, and smiled bitterly: "There is no sign that this guy Tang Hao will leave, I came to let him build farm tools the day before yesterday, and after he leaves, we will have to find another blacksmith in the future. "This guy is so irresponsible."
Tang San slowly regained his senses, "Grandpa Jack, you mean, Dad just left two days ago?"
Old Jack nodded. "It should have been only these two days. Xiaosan, don't be sad, it's not worth it for a father like that. Let's go with grandpa and come to my house."
Tang San shook his head silently, carefully folded the paper in his hand and put it in his arms.
"Thank you, Grandpa Jack, the house is so messy, I won't ask you to stay. I have to clean up."
Old Jack was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that little Tang San would order the expulsion. He sighed and said, "Okay. But if you need anything, just come to me." Shaking his head helplessly, he turned to look outside. go.
Old Jack left, and there were only Tang San and Xiao Wu left in the blacksmith shop. Tang San didn't open his mouth, just started to clean up the messy room, cleaning up everything in the room.
Surprisingly, Xiao Wu, who was usually lively and active, kept silent at this time, walked to Tang San's side, quietly helped him put away each thing, scooped clean water from the outside water tank, and helped him. Wipe the dust in the room.
…
Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.
The master was reading a book in his room, and the third went home, and his heart was empty. After getting along for a year, although he didn't say anything, his feelings for this disciple were constantly deepening.
Until this morning when Tang San left, he was still hesitating whether to visit his house or not. In the end, the master rejected his idea. There are many reasons, even he himself can not tell.
Bang, bang, bang, at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Grandmaster frowned, normally no one would come to him except Tang San.
"Please come in." The master put down the book in his hand and said lightly.
The door opened, and a tall figure walked in from outside. He was dressed in a simple gray robe, with messy black hair draped over his shoulders, his old face was engraved with vicissitudes, and his turbid eyes seemed to have reached the age of the dead, which did not match his appearance when he was only about fifty years old.
"Hello, Master." The voice of the person who came was low and hoarse.
I don't know why, when this person first entered the door, Grandmaster's whole body subconsciously became tense, and even the spirit power spread all over his body unconsciously.
"Who are you?" Slowly stood up, a bit of doubt appeared in the master's eyes.
The man in gray said lightly: "Speaking of which, we should have not seen each other for twenty years. It's no wonder you don't recognize me when I look like this. My name is Tang Hao."
"Tang Hao?" Grandmaster Gu Jing Bubo's expression suddenly changed drastically, his pupils focused almost instantly, staring at the man in front of him, his hands on the table, his fingers had turned bluish white, " You, you are Hao…”
Tang Hao waved his hand to stop the master from speaking, and said coldly: "There is no need to mention the title of the past. Back then, we had a few encounters. Others might think that you are just a lunatic, but I know that, You are a persistent person."
The master's mood gradually calmed down, and his stiff face was slightly affected, "It seems that I guessed right, you are indeed the father of Xiaosan. He has already gone home, why are you here?"
Tang Hao nodded and said lightly: "It is because he has returned home that I am here. I know that you accepted him as a disciple. As a father, I should have come to see you long ago. I am leaving. , the only person I care about is him, so I hope to entrust the little three to you."
"Are you leaving? Where are you going? He is your son." The master stared at Tang Hao with a stern look in his eyes.
Tang Hao still looked cold, "He is also your apprentice. I have to go, there are many things that must be done. He will not be happy if he follows me. I have no other requirements, his Life is up to him to choose. It has been ten years, and I have been away from this world for ten years. Now that he has grown up, there are some things that I have to do."
The master took a deep breath, "I don't know what happened to you, but I can see that Xiaosan is very attached to you. Don't you think it's too cruel for him to leave like this?"
Tang Hao said lightly: "He has decided to take an extraordinary path, and being with me is cruel to him. Well, I have finished what I have to say, no matter when, please remember that he It's my son."
After saying this, Tang Hao raised his hand and waved, and a jet-black token fell on the table in front of the master with a clatter. However, the pattern on this token is exactly six...
Bang, the door was closed, and Tang Hao's tall figure had disappeared. Looking at the door, the master stood there for a while without any movement.
After a long time, he slowly lowered his head, his eyes fell on the token, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I didn't expect that my idol has become like this."
…
The sun slanted west, and in front of the blacksmith shop, two petite figures were sitting side by side, wearing the same clothes, they sat quietly.
The afterglow of the sun fell on them with a touch of red, as if a circle of golden red was branded on their bodies.
The girl on the left turned her head to look at the boy, put her hands on her chin, and wanted to say something, but she finally held back.
Instead, it was the boy who spoke, holding a brand new casting hammer in his hand, "Xiao Wu, thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"Thank you for being with me all the time." Tang San lowered his head and looked at the ground beneath his feet, his eyes were a little blurry and hazy, but after all, no tears fell.
Xiao Wu chuckled and pushed Tang San's shoulder, this time with a lot of force, almost knocking Tang San down, "Don't be depressed. Your father is only leaving temporarily. One day, you will meet again. Maybe, His departure is just to make you grow better and make you stronger. If you continue like this, won't you live up to his painstaking efforts?"
A wry smile appeared on Tang San's face, "Maybe so, but why didn't he let me meet again. Xiao Wu, you know, my father is my only relative. Without my father, my family is no longer a family. already."
Xiao Wu shook her head and threw her long scorpion braid in front of her, "Without my father, you still have my friend. If you insist on finding a relative, I don't mind being your sister. Come on, call me. Miss Sheng Xiaowu, come and listen. Everyone screams like that, only you are the exception."
Seeing Xiao Wu's charming appearance and her little red face lit by the setting sun, Tang San couldn't help laughing. It's always a wonderful thing to have someone by your side when one's heart is most vulnerable.
"If you'd like to be my sister, I have no objection. We are the same year, but you seem to be a few months younger than me, if I remember well. I was born in January, but you are in August, right."
"Don't think about it. I'm only a sister, not a sister." Xiao Wu raised her hand angrily and knocked on Tang San's head.
Tang San's body flashed, and he had already jumped out, standing three meters in front of Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, follow me up the mountain, I'll show you something."
Tang San's expression was serious, as if he had decided something.
Xiao Wu didn't play anymore, her little face showed a bit of obedience, and she nodded to him.
Tang San took the initiative to pull up Xiao Wu's tender little hand and ran towards the mountain bag outside the village. The shadows of the two of them gradually elongated on the ground under the rays of the setting sun.
Tang San and Xiao Wu ran to the top of the mountain before stopping, under the circumstance of urging Xuan Tian Gong with all his strength, he couldn't help but breathe a little.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Tang San faced the setting sun, his eyes already covered with purple, "Xiao Wu, this is where I used to practice. I'm asking you a question very seriously, and I hope you can answer me seriously."
Xiao Wu pursed her lips, "Do you know that you look a lot like those old men in the academy now?"
Tang San slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Wu seriously, "Are you willing to be my sister? I really hope to have another relative."
Xiao Wu was about to say something, but was stopped by Tang San, "Listen to me first. I don't have anything, you can see the situation of my family, I'm just a poor commoner. I can't give you wealth, nor can I give you wealth. You are powerful. You are also born full of soul power, but you are different from me. I can see that your background should have a story. But I never asked, because I was afraid that the gap between our backgrounds was too great, and even friends I can't do it. However, I really hope to have a sister like you. Although I can't give you what the nobles have, I can give you my promise. I will always protect my sister, no It will hurt her a little bit."
Looking at Tang San's tearful eyes, Xiao Wu's eyes gradually turned red, "If one day, there are many people who want to kill me, and you can't beat those people, what should I do?"
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Tang San's face, "Then ask them to step over my body first."
Xiao Wu was silent, Tang San didn't speak again, the redness of the setting sun gradually faded, and the stars in the sky were already quietly emerging.
"Brother." Xiao Wu broke the peace between the two with a simple word.
The tears that he had been holding back for so long finally fell down at this moment, Tang San shaking his hands, took Xiao Wu's hand, "Thank you, sister."
His father is gone, but he has another younger sister, Tang San looked up at the sky, silently swearing a lifetime oath to the stars in the sky.
When night fell, the two children sat on the top of the mountain, feeling the gentle blowing of the mountain peaks, watching the stars and moon in the sky, the tranquil atmosphere and the fresh air, all brought a comfortable feeling.
"Can I not call you brother?" Xiao Wu turned to look at Tang San beside her.
Tang San was taken aback, "Why?"
There was a hint of blush on Xiao Wu's face, "How can I say, I'm also the boss of all the students in Notting, and suddenly there are more brothers, what will they think of me?"
Tang San smiled, "Okay, you can still call me Xiaosan. As long as I know in my heart that you are my sister, what does the name matter?"
While speaking, Tang San raised his hand, pulled down his sleeve, and took off the sleeve arrow from his left wrist.
"We're brothers and sisters. I don't have anything of value, so I'll give this to you for self-defense. It's my first work."
Xiao Wu curiously looked at the Xiu Jian handed over by Tang San, "What is this?"
