Chapter 24 Casting Knives
.On a small path, Xiao Yun led Cheng Cheng slowly. Xiao Yun looked leisurely and admired the scenery on both sides of the road from time to time.
They traveled in the mountainous area for five days. In five days, they had already left Fuzhou City. Being far away from Fuzhou City means that they had escaped from the Nanhai Sect's sphere of influence.
Looking at the lush scenery on both sides of the road, Xiao Yun felt more and more comfortable. Although he didn't know why Chen Shou was not chasing them, they had now left the sphere of influence of the Nanhai Sect and they were basically safe. Even if Chen Shou and the others caught up, Xiao Yun was not very scared.
Since his "Cultivation of Gods" made another breakthrough, he has the confidence to escape from any constant-level warrior. Without their power here, it is not so easy to find them.
Looking at Cheng Cheng who was jumping in front of him, Xiao Yun couldn't help but smile. Since his safety, these days have been Cheng Cheng's happiest days. Although he often slept in the wild, with Xiao Yun's meticulous care and care, Cheng Cheng was like a bird that was ridden from a cage, chirping happily every day.
"Ho ho, brother, look, we're in town!" Cheng Cheng jumped over, pointed his delicate little fingers ahead, and his cheeks were red with excitement.
Xiao Yun looked in the direction pointed by Cheng Cheng's little hand and found that a small town appeared in front of them. A few hundred meters ahead, the path they were walking had turned into a big road. On the road, some pedestrians coming and going flocked to the town, and some came out of the town.
With a smile, Xiao Yun took Cheng Cheng's little hand and walked towards the main road. Following the crowd, he walked towards the town.
Walking on the road in the town, Xiao Yun looked at the shops and wine shops on both sides of the road from time to time. This town is not big, but there are many shops. Because the town happens to be located on the main transportation road in the north and south, there are a lot of businessmen doing business in the town.
Smelling the scent of wine floating out of the wine shop, Xiao Yun's intestines couldn't help but wriggle. After staying in the mountains for several days, he had drunk all the wine he had brought before. At this moment, he suddenly smelled the scent of wine floating out, and he felt like he was about to float out. He wanted to go to a wine shop immediately and drink three big bowls first. But it was not yet time, and he had more important things to do.
He had to find a shop for casting knives first. His original big sword had been "given" to Xiong Hun, so he didn't have any weapons to use. Besides, people are in the world, and there may be accidents at any time, so they have to quickly make a weapon that suits him.
However, there was another more important reason why he wanted to find a shop for casting knives to make another weapon.
For a few days, he had been studying the Hunyuan Formation in "Introduction to Formation" except for the necessary time. After several days of research, he had basically figured out the theory of using the Hunyuan Formation. Combined with his own conditions, he found that this formation was simply created for himself. Because of his abundant mental power, he could just exert the maximum power of this formation. However, after he practiced a few times, he found that he could only exert less than half of the power of the Hunyuan Formation. After thinking about it, he realized that this was not his own problem, but his weapon. His weapons lacked the "imprint" that could better integrate his mental power into the formation.
After careful study, he finally found the "imprint" track suitable for his mental power release. So as long as he engraves this "imprint" in his weapon, he can better condense his mental power and exert all the power of "Hunyuan Formation". And at that time, even if he uses the Ba Hong strike and dominate the ten directions, his power will double.
When he was in the mountains, he was not in a hurry to build such a knife. But when he entered the town, he couldn't wait.
Pulling Cheng Cheng, Xiao Yun turned his head from time to time to view the shops on both sides of the audience. Finally, when they turned the street for two days, they found a blacksmith shop in one corner. The blacksmith shop looked very dilapidated, as if it had not been repaired for many years. However, Xiao Yun didn't care much. No matter what kind of blacksmith shop, as long as it could build the knife he needed.
After entering the shop, I found that there was no one in the room except a bare-handed man. A stove was burning next to the big man. The big man was holding a red weapon and thinking seriously. He felt that someone had entered the shop and said without looking back: "This shop is closed, please go back."
Xiao Yun was about to ask, and was stunned. Closed? Xiao Yun couldn't help but look at the sky outside. The sun had just risen from the east, and it was still early before noon. There were still many shops that had not opened at this moment, so why was this blacksmith shop going to close?
Could it be that he was playing with himself? Xiao Yun couldn't help but frown and said, "Brother, it's still early now." Hearing Xiao Yun's words, the man still didn't turn around, as if he was a little impatient, and his voice was a little stiff: "I said I would close! You'd better go back."
Xiao Yun couldn't help being stunned when he heard the cold voice of the man. What was this? Did he not understand the principle of "the customer is God"? Xiao Yun looked at himself and said that he was like a customer, not a bandit. Suddenly his mind moved. In his impression, everyone in the world who looked like a big man and looked like a cold man were basically masters. Could it be that this big man was also a master? Xiao Yun stared at the big man carefully and looked at it twice, and no matter how he looked, he didn't look like it. And based on the fluctuations of the big man's aura, he was just a third-rate warrior. Since he was so fierce, he was not a master in the martial arts world, he was a master of iron.
"Hmph! Your store is not seeking fame, right?" Xiao Yun snorted coldly. Since it is so soft, he can only provoke him.
When the big man heard this, he stopped the movement in his hand. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yun lightly and said, "Entertainment? Humph, who in the villages here doesn't know that our shop in Shuangfeng Town is the best. Boy, it's useless if you don't have to provoke me!"
Xiao Yun smiled, took out a piece of straw paper from his arms, and handed it to the big man, saying, "Is it useless to try it before you know? If you can play this knife, then talk big." The big man snorted coldly, took the straw paper one by one, and floated his eyes casually.
But after taking a look, the man's expression suddenly became solemn. His big eyes stared at the sketch of a big knife on the straw paper, and his brows became deeper and deeper.
Xiao Yun felt proud. His sketch was the sketch of the big sword he was going to beat. It took him a long time to draw it. No one knew better than him when it came to the complex structure of the big sword on the sketch. Just a few "imprints" in "Huanyuan Formation" were not something that ordinary blacksmiths could cast. When he first came to this blacksmith shop, he didn't have any hope. However, it seemed that this great man was really a master, so he couldn't let it go.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the man's face darkened, "I can't create your big knife."
Xiao Yun, who was already hopeful, suddenly heard the big man's words, and his mood suddenly fell from excitement to a low point. Looking at the big man with a depressed look, Xiao Yun couldn't help but sigh in secret that this big knife with "marks" was indeed different. It seems that ordinary people can't create it.
Shaking his head, Xiao Yun was about to lead Cheng Cheng out of the store. The big man suddenly said, "But I can't build it, my master can do it!" Xiao Yun, who was about to go out, paused suddenly.
Xiao Yun turned his head and stared at the big man fiercely, "Cao, can't you say a word together? You can scare people with a heart attack like this!"
The man's face turned slightly red, and he looked at Xiao Yun and said, "My master went out to mourn an old friend. He probably won't be back in the evening. Otherwise, you will come over until the evening." He didn't dare to drive Xiao Yun away directly like he did just now. If he really did that, then as long as Xiao Yun made a little publicity outside and said that his master could not even build a weapon in the famous "Godcasting" in the villages, his reputation would plummet.
Xiao Yun nodded and was about to walk out of the blacksmith shop. Suddenly the door of the blacksmith shop was opened, and then an old man walked in through the door. When the big man saw the old man coming in, he immediately met him and said respectfully: "Master."
After hearing the big man's words, Xiao Yun stopped immediately and looked at the old man. The old man had a gray beard, a thin face, and a shabby blue long gown, looking like an old man who was about to go. However, Xiao Yun didn't think so. After a brief sense, he found that the old man was a master close to a first-class warrior!
"Well, there is nothing wrong in the shop today?" The old man nodded and was about to walk in. "Master!" Seeing that the old man was about to leave, the big man immediately shouted. Then he quickly walked to the old man and told him about Xiao Yun's request just now.
"Oh?" After hearing the big man say, the old man looked at Xiao Yun with a little surprise and said, "Is it just that you want to build that weapon? Can I take a look at that sketch?"
Xiao Yun hurriedly took out the sketch and handed it on it. After the sensing just now, he found out that the old man was a wise warrior, Xiao Yun also gained some confidence in the old man.
"Huh!" The old man took the sketch and only glanced at it for a few seconds, then he couldn't help but exclaim. Then the old man's calm expression disappeared, and he looked at the sketch of the big knife in his hand with a serious expression. After a while, the old man raised his head and looked at Xiao Yun carefully and said, "Young man, if I read it correctly, the 'imprint' on the sketch of the big knife should be a formation."
Xiao Yun nodded. If the old man could really build this knife, he would have nothing to hide.
"Sure!" The old man nodded understandingly, then glanced at Xiao Yun with a serious expression and said, "It seems that the little brother's martial arts are really extraordinary. I can't see through the little brother's background at the moment. I guess my little brother's martial arts must be above me. I have such cultivation at such an age, and the future is really limitless. Although I don't know where the little brother's formation comes from, with my eyesight, I can still see that this formation is really unsightly. With the master's martial arts and the wonderful formations, the strength of such a little brother will jump directly to a higher level."
Xiao Yun was shocked, not expecting that the old man's eyes were so vicious. But he didn't care too much. As the old man said, even if he didn't use "Huanyuan Formation", Xiao Yun was sure to deal with the old man in front of him. Therefore, there was no need to hide it. He was nothing, but the big man around the old man immediately looked at Xiao Yun with a calm face when he heard from his master that Xiao Yun's martial arts skills were higher than his master. Although he knew that Xiao Yun was a warrior, he did not expect Xiao Yun to be so powerful. Thinking about his arrogant attitude just now, he was shocked and sweated. In the world, killing people is not illegal. If Xiao Yun had to deal with him just now, he would probably have moved by his head long ago. Fortunately, Xiao Yun is not an ordinary person in the world. As long as he did not harm his own interests, Xiao Yun would not usually take action.
Nodding, Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "I wonder if the old man can create it?"
The old man smiled proudly, then glanced at Xiao Yun faintly and said, "Young man, don't be nervous. I won't be greedy for your formation. Besides, with my strength, even with this formation, I cannot exert the power of the formation. If you want to cast this formation weapon... I am not boasting about it. Apart from me, there are not many people in the world who can cast this weapon!"
The big man beside the old man heard the master's words and then grinned and shouted loudly: "How is it? I said my master can cast it! Humph, don't you see who my master is. My master is a famous person in the world...Well..."
"Hmph!" Before the big man finished speaking, the old man beside him snorted coldly. Hearing the master's cold snorting, the big man quickly covered his mouth with his hands and dared not say anything more.
"Oh? It's really the old man to cast this weapon," Xiao Yun thought silently in his heart, then looked up at the old man and said, "The old man doesn't have to beat around the bush. How much silver do you need? Just offer a price."
The old man smiled faintly and stared at Xiao Yun and said, "I don't want any money from my little brother, as long as I promise to do something for me."
