Changlong City, in Ni Mansion.
The arms swayed in the hands of the old craftsman, and the flames swayed in the void, and there was a feeling of blending into nature.
This is the realm of unity between man and nature. No matter in any industry, as long as you can reach this realm, you can be said to have unlimited future. In fact, even among the super blacksmiths in the capital, not many people can realize the unity of heaven and man.
At this time, in the casting room, in addition to Old Jiangtou and Ni Yunhong, there were several blacksmiths. They are all well-known people in Changlong County, and two of them even went to the capital and obtained the title of senior blacksmith.
Such a person, even if he stays in the capital, is respected by everyone and is an outstanding talent who has no worries about life. But they still returned to Changlong City and took root in this land. At this moment, their eyes looking at the old craftsman were full of admiration. Not to mention anything else, this unique forging skill that combines nature and man is enough to intimidate any blacksmith.
In their eyes, even if the old craftsman has never received the title of super blacksmith, he is still inseparable from it.
"Ding… "
Finally, the old craftsman restrained his arms and knocked the newly forged saber on the casting platform, making a loud sound of gold and iron clashing.
The rest of the people had admiration on their faces, because they could all see that this saber was definitely the best of the best. Everything made by an old craftsman is indeed extraordinary.
However, the old craftsman looked at it carefully for a while, then shook his head and sighed, and even a look of loneliness flashed across his face.
Ni Yunhong said cautiously: "Old Craftsman, do you still have any dissatisfaction?"
In his opinion, this saber is already perfect. Unless it encounters some god-given attributes, in terms of normal saber attributes alone, the quality of this knife has reached the extreme.
The old craftsman smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, this knife still fails to break through the limit and does not meet the standards of a magical weapon."
Everyone around him was startled at first, and then their expressions turned strange. Even someone as familiar as Ni Yunhong couldn't help but curse in his heart.
You actually want to create a magic weapon
However, everyone in the world knows that the magic weapon is the patent of Master Ouyang Ming. Except for Master Ouyang Ming, no one can create such a treasure. Even if the super blacksmiths in the capital join forces, it will be useless.
You always dream of creating magic weapons with your own power. Isn't that... fanciful
However, no matter what they were thinking in their hearts, the expressions on their faces did not dare to reveal anything.
Because they all know that Ouyang Ming, who is known as the world's best blacksmith in history, was taught by this old man who refused to admit defeat.
Ni Yunhong pondered for a long time and said: "Old... old man, you have too high demands on yourself."
The old carpenter rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Yun, how many times have I told you, you can just call me the old carpenter. Don't make such nonsense. You will get upset after hearing this!"
The corner of Ni Yunhong's mouth twitched slightly and said: "Old Carpenter, my sister calls you Old Master, why didn't you say it? You just know that you are showing off in front of me, which is too unfair."
The two new blacksmiths next to them looked at each other and thought to themselves. It seems that the rumors that this old man doesn't like being called "old man" and insists on calling him "old craftsman" are not false.
The old craftsman said angrily: "Of course your sister is different. She is my daughter-in-law. It is only natural to call me old man!"
Ni Yunhong sighed, he was completely speechless for this old man.
However, let alone the untouchable backstage of Ou Yangming behind the old craftsman, even if he is still alone, no one will offend a blacksmith who has achieved the unity of nature and man because of this small flaw. .
The old craftsman picked up the saber in his hand, checked it carefully, and handed it to the second person.
The blacksmiths here looked at it one by one, and they all praised it. Although some of them were followers, but most of them were blacksmiths with real talents and knowledge. After seeing the old craftsman's forging technique of integrating nature and man, they were all convinced.
At this time, when appraising the saber in their hands, they could feel more and more the mystery contained in the saber. Everyone was full of praise and wished they could keep the saber as their own and savor it slowly.
Suddenly, a person hurriedly entered outside the door.
Ni Yunhong frowned and said, "What's going on? Why panic?"
The person who came in was a servant in the mansion. He was usually quite steady, but for some reason he looked so flustered today.
The man quickly bowed and said: "Master, there is someone outside the door who wants to see the old craftsman."
"Who?" Ni Yunhong said dissatisfiedly: "The old craftsman has a distinguished status, how can it be that ordinary people can see him if they want to?"
The old craftsman coughed beside him and said: "Brother Yun, what you said is wrong. I am just a soldier, how can I be noble?"
Ni Yunhong said he was submissive, but he was secretly thinking in his heart. Not to mention that you are a blacksmithing expert, even if you are truly worthless, as long as Ouyang Ming is around, you will become a living Bodhisattva that no one can offend...
The rest of the people also looked at each other in confusion. Although they all felt that the identity of a military man was very different from that of an old craftsman, when they thought about it carefully, it was really the case.
The man smiled bitterly and said: "Master, the person here is the Lord of the City."
Ni Yunhong was startled and murmured: "What is he here for?"
Although there is no quarrel between the Ni family in Changlong County and the City Lord's Mansion, it is far from comparable to that in Canghai City. However, after the catastrophe of the human race, both sides had their own ideas, so they basically had no contact with each other recently.
"My lord, our ancestors have already come forward to receive you. Now a message has come in. They want to ask what the old craftsman wants to see. Do you want to see him or not?"
Ni Yunhong's expression changed, and he understood immediately.
Deng Xiyuan came to see the old craftsman, and it was definitely up to him. But since this matter concerns the old craftsman, the three ancestors of the Ni family cannot make their own decisions. Otherwise, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of Old Jiangtou and Ouyang Ming.
However, if the old craftsman himself does not want to see him, the three ancestors of the Ni family will definitely go through it without hesitation.
However, the old craftsman said with great interest: "Since the city lord is here, there must be something important. Could it be that there is something wrong with the rune equipment? I want to go over and have a look." He cupped his fists and saluted everyone, and immediately Go in a hurry.
The creation of the rune equipment took all his efforts, and he couldn't let it go no matter what.
Hurrying to the main hall, the old craftsman immediately saw Deng Xiyuan, Ni Jingshen and others. However, his eyes suddenly brightened and he said, "General Chen, why are you here?"
A person walked out from behind Deng Xiyuan, it was Chen Yifan, one of the commanders of Lin Haijun Battalion.
Ni Jingshen's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, the person who came is not good!
General Chen Yifan has always been on good terms with Old Jiangtou and Ouyang Ming, and he has known about this for a long time. If he had known that this person was coming, he would have given him warm hospitality. However, Chen Yifan was pretending to be an attendant of Deng Xiyuan and mingling among the crowd. Even with his sharp eyes, he couldn't recognize someone from an unfamiliar face.
Chen Yifan laughed, walked out calmly, and said: "Old Craftsman, I was injured earlier and have just recovered from my injuries, so I came to see you and Master Ou."
When he met Ouyang Ming before, he was still able to rely on his old age. But now... all I can do is shout out to Master Ou one by one.
The old craftsman smiled and said: "General Chen, it depends on what you said. If you want to see us, just send a message and we will go there ourselves."
Chen Yifan was stunned for a long time, then said with a wry smile: "Old craftsman, don't be ridiculous, I don't dare."
Listening to their conversation, Ni Jingshen's heart sank more and more. The familiarity between them was far beyond his imagination.
After a moment, Chen Yifan suddenly said: "Old Craftsman, in fact, I came here today in compliance with His Majesty's order."
The old craftsman was stunned and said: "Your Majesty?"
"Exactly." Chen Yifan said solemnly: "Your Majesty wanted to create a magic weapon, but after gathering all the blacksmiths in the capital for several years of research, they found nothing. I originally wanted to ask Master Ou, but I heard that Master Ou is now involved in the catastrophe of the human race. Running around, I have no choice but to settle for the next best thing. I would like to invite you to come to Beijing to participate in this grand event. "
The old craftsman pointed to his nose and said, "You mean, His Majesty wants me to come to Beijing to participate in the grand event of forging magical weapons?"
"Exactly." Chen Yifan said: "Old Craftsman, I know this is very difficult for you. If you don't want to go, I will never force you."
Ni Jingshen snorted coldly and thought to himself, if you have the ability, just give it a try.
However, Chen Yifan continued: "But, Old Craftsman, think about your identity and who led you before you developed."
The old craftsman suddenly fell silent, his thick eyebrows furrowed, as if he was in a tangle.
Ni Jingshen saw that the situation was not good and quickly said: "Haha, General Chen, Master Ou once ordered that the old craftsman live in a humble house temporarily and asked us to take good care of him. Now that Master Ou has not returned, we cannot let him leave rashly. "
Deng Xiyuan laughed, but before he could say anything, Ni Jingshen waved his hand and said, "Come, let's see you off."
He was also a decisive person. When he saw that the situation was not going well, he made a decisive decision. He first asked the two lobbyists to leave, and then worked on the old craftsman.
This is the Ni family. The power of local snakes is so powerful that Deng Xiyuan and others cannot compete with it. Although they didn't want to leave, they were helpless.
However, when Ni Jingshen turned around and his eyes fell on the old carpenter, he saw that his dim old eyes seemed to have a different color.
Ni Jingshen's expression changed slightly, and a strong ominous omen surged in his heart.
He found that some things seemed to be out of his control, and were heading in the direction of getting worse.
