The Scenery of the North Chapter 21 The Craftsman City

Lu An was shirtless, showing off his strong muscles, carrying a pot of wine and a bag of steamed buns in his hand, walking on a road full of fireworks, greeting the people next to him as he walked.

It has been a year since the battle in Cha County. Lu An was seriously injured that time. He was drowsy and half awake all month. When he woke up, he was already brought to this city, Jiangcheng, a legendary city.

Jiangcheng is said to have existed for countless years, and can be said to be the oldest city in the five places. Since people have memories, this city has existed. Starting from the first small blacksmith shop, it slowly expanded around and gradually extended, and finally developed into a huge city. Its geographical location is at the junction of the three dynasties, the Great Zhou, the Great Han, and the Three Dynasties. It can be said to belong to a three-no matter zone.

Once, the three dynasties wanted to take this city that lays golden eggs for themselves, but in the end they all failed. The reasons for the failure were different, but they all failed in the end. So it can be said that this is the gathering place for fugitives in the northern border. Here, no matter who you are, it will be safe when you come in. No matter what you have done before in Jiangcheng.

Of course, after entering Jiangcheng, the three dynasties seemed to have agreed and thought they didn't know it. However, they were not willing to do whatever they wanted here. There was a city lord's mansion here to maintain public order, so they could not cause trouble here and disrupt the order of Jiangcheng. Otherwise, Jiangcheng's city lord's mansion would come to take care of you. No matter who you are, they would be expelled or erased, without exception. However, killing people here is not illegal, so it is also a good place to take revenge. Lu An has witnessed dozens of cases with his own eyes, which is not surprising.

There is also Jiangcheng, a commercial place for producing golden eggs. Here, as long as you bid appropriately, you can buy what you want. If there is not yet, you can also offer rewards at the auction house. The auction houses here belong to the city lord's mansion, and there is no need to be tricky. As a result, a new crowd was born. Youbanglang did nothing and just focused on those reward tasks. The number of people was large. Generally speaking, one order could be eaten for a year, commonly known as the Gobanger.

The most famous thing here is its weapons. The name of Jiangcheng is definitely not a false reputation. The golden egg of Jiangcheng looks even more eye-catching against the backdrop of the heavenly soldiers. As long as the weapons produced by Jiangcheng are generally good products, the most famous in recent years is the auction of a heavenly soldier, the sky, and the sword of Guangguang attracted dozens of top families and sects from five places, and finally sold at a sky-high price. Everyone is full of desire for Jiangcheng, and this is the attraction of this city, and you have everything you want.

There is another legendary figure in Jiangcheng City. A 10th-grade martial arts master, another cultivator of the Three Pure Ones. The first person who practices both martial arts and reaches the level of a master. In terms of strength, he may be among the top five major sections. Some people call him the strongest in the North. Even the old man in Mingdi agrees with this statement and highly respects this person. This may be the reason why everyone is willing to abide by the rules of Jiangcheng City.

Another point is that Jiangcheng has a special favor for merchants. Here the interests of merchants can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. The shops in Jiangcheng are permanent and are permanently protected by Jiangcheng. They do not need to pay rent or pay taxes. Merchants are more important than customers. If you want to close the door, you close the door and open the door. There can be many customers, but there are only so many merchants who can open the store here. So in a word, if you like to buy or not, if you don’t buy one, you will still buy it. So if you own a shop in Jiangcheng, you can say that you don’t have to worry about this life. The rent alone can be enough for you to eat for the rest of your life.

Of course, such a lively city must be set off by other dusty smells, so the various factors add up to make Jiangcheng a legendary city, making people linger and reluctant to leave.

It happened that I realized that there was a small blacksmith shop here. After Lu An learned about the value of a shop here, Lu An re-doubtedly suspected the old man's value. As a result, the news that I found out was actually inherited from the ancestral world?

The two of them lived in this small blacksmith shop. Since Lu An had no place to go, he just pretended to be here to recover from his injuries.

As a place where heavenly soldiers are produced every year, Jiangcheng has always been a holy place for blacksmiths. Especially here, there is a group of older blacksmiths, which are particularly popular. Generally speaking, the older you are, the higher your qualifications and the greater your ability. There are countless people who come to learn from each other every year.

Some people even say that when they see an old man with white beard, they don’t care about it. They will talk about it first. They force their thighs to be accepted by others. There was a lucky man who actually succeeded. The other party was an old blacksmith with the title of master craftsman. Later, more people imitated this method, which was particularly popular. Later, the city lord’s mansion came out to preside over the rules, which made this strange atmosphere disappear.

However, when it comes to holding the Forging Competition, many people will come to Jiangcheng to show off their skills or plan to learn from their masters, because this is also the time when the older generation shows up the most.

During this year, Lu An was not only recuperating from injuries, but also studying and learning to make iron. He clearly said that proper exercise is good for internal injuries. Lu An was skeptical. After trying it a few times, he found that the effect was still very good. So he kept fighting for iron for a year. It just so happened that he didn't have a weapon to match now, so he thought that he could try a sword for himself and learn more skills, which was better than not.

However, Lu An didn't find anyone to become a disciple. He just claimed to be a master and knew that he could teach the east and the west. Lu An had been fighting for a year without any brainstorm. Now he has been very good at it, but Lu An himself has no idea what his level is, and he always feels that he is almost in a hurry.

Today I had been getting iron for a day and was sweating all over, so I went to the next door wine shop to buy a pot of wine. Over the past year, Lu An's injuries have not healed yet, and I have been drinking more and more wine. I feel uncomfortable if I don't drink it for a day.

He returned to the blacksmith shop swayingly, and realized that it was very comfortable. He lay on the bamboo chair, shaking a palm fan, closing his eyes to rest. When he heard Lu An come back, he said, "I know that drinking is better than me every day."

Lu An pretended not to hear it, walked to the side, picked up a newly formed sword embryo, touched it east and knocked it around, and then shook his head again, with a look of disgust.

I understand that I saw it in my eyes, and smiled and said, "You have been studying for a year, and the time is still far behind, but your kid's vision is pretty good. Tell me, what's wrong with the sword embryo just now?"

"It has good hardness, good toughness, and a crisp sound, but after swinging it a few times, I always feel that this sword is a bit heavy and light." Lu An replied.

"Well, if you want to create a top-level weapon, the material is very important. No matter how you forge it, you will definitely not be able to compare to a weapon made of meteorite. However, an excellent forginger can narrow the gap between the two and turn decay into magic through unique techniques and craftsmanship. The most important thing is repeated superposition and quenching. The hardness and toughness of the one just now are good, which means that the quenching is done well, but if you think there is a problem with the weight distribution of the sword, it means that you are not beaten enough, and you don't understand it enough, just use all your strength to feed. By knocking again and again, the weight of this sword will be evenly distributed, and there will be no feeling of being too heavy and light just now." I understand and said a lot of empty words.

Every time Lu An heard this, he would habitually choose to ignore it. Over the past year, Lu An has been knocking here alone. He has never seen a real demonstration of the hammer. After practicing hard for half a year, he started to try it himself. Every time he finished making one, although it was not perfect, the quality was pretty good, and he would be sold. He looked like a white-bearded face and a master, standing in front of the shop and selling it.

Moreover, his image, combined with his style, others believed it and thought it was because he had found a treasure. They bought it at a high price and left. Although the price was not expensive, Lu An shook his head after seeing it, shameless.

"You can speak, then you can do it again and I'll take a look?" Lu An asked back.

Hearing this, he understood and shut up again, stretched his body, and said, "Today's day is not good. It is not advisable to move iron in the almanac."

Lu An has become accustomed to this method and has various reasons. Sure enough, the salt in the past few decades is not for nothing.

Lu An finished drinking quietly by himself, so he began to regulate his body. Since that time he was affected and severely injured, his internal organs were half injured and his meridians were broken a lot. He was so bad that he thought he was just a minor injury. Later, he fell into a coma and went around to seek treatment. Everyone shook their heads when they saw it. They were unconscious for a whole month. Even Mingbai felt that he could not hold on at any time, but in the end he had to support Jiangcheng for some reason, and even his injuries began to improve, which surprised Mingbai for a month.

At that time, Lu An's body was too weak. He didn't dare to take the so-called magic pill easily, for fear that the medicine would be too strong, so he would help him accidentally, and he could only help Lu An slowly recover. As a result, to everyone's expectations, Lu An actually recovered by himself. Without taking medicine, he slowly recovered by himself. In their eyes, an ordinary person like Lu An actually had such a strong recovery, which made everyone feel strange. There were even a few old men who wanted to study Lu An's body. Of course, these people were driven away by understanding.

In this way, at the beginning, the recovery speed was very fast, but later, the recovery speed became slower and slower. During this period, Lu An obviously felt that the effect of the injury he had conditioned was getting worse and worse. It was another matter whether it could be better. Even if it was cured, it might leave some hidden dangers in the end. It would be best to hope that there would not be such a result and that this hurdle could be overcome as soon as possible.

In this way, after a while, Lu An was still immersed in the healing process, trying to break through this blockage in one breath, without feeling the passage of time at all.

The side understood that Lu An was still healing his wounds for so long today, and was sweating profusely. So he walked over and with a knife, Lu An fainted.

After a while, Lu An touched his neck, moved his neck first, then turned his neck, then walked towards the understanding, and said, "Come again?"

I understood and spread my hands and said innocently: "If you don't knock you out, something will happen to you. You are too anxious. Boy, sometimes you should be more at ease and don't underestimate this injury. For those who study martial arts and practice Taoism, we should treat it carefully, for fear of leaving a little hidden danger and causing cracks to appear in the future road. This is not worth the loss."

Lu An nodded. Although this old man was long-winded, some things were still very reasonable and he could not ignore them, but he could not listen to them all.

He asked immediately: "What should I do? It's been a year since I was conditioning myself recently, and I found that the effect was getting worse and worse. I had a clear feeling that just by relying on this, the injury may never be healed."

I understood that when I heard this, I touched my beard, thought for a while, and frowned. But after thinking for a long time, I didn't say anything. I laughed and said that I would find a friend to ask about it tomorrow, and asked Lu An to rest for the past two days. If it was a problem caused by iron ramming, it would be bad.

Lu An nodded, indicating that he knew.

the next day.

When Lu An got up, he found that the old man had disappeared. Lu An was not surprised. Whenever this time, the old man went out to find someone to meet friends or did things, he would definitely come back from at least one or two days, or at most three or four days. It seemed that the old man was still very concerned about his injuries. He said yesterday and set off today.

Lu An yawned, opened the door, and squatted at the door for breakfast.

The two blacksmith shops next door have already opened the door. Two white-haired old men next to them took a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, slowly walked to the side of Lu An, squatted down, and looked at what was in Lu An's bowl.

When Lu An saw these two old men appearing beside him, he skillfully took out three steamed buns and a plate of cucumbers from behind.

The two old men smiled, each of them took a steamed bun, and ate it with the sauce and cucumbers.

Lu An looked up and looked around for a long time. He was just about to put away the excess steamed bun.

In the distance, a figure hurriedly ran over and came to Lu An, held Lu An's shoulder and started to breathe heavily, and then stopped Lu An's steamed buns with one hand.

After a while of slowing down, I finally spoke. "Sorry, Xiao An, I overslept today and almost caught up. Oh, today it's a cucumber, which is not bad, I like it."

"Call me brother!" Lu Andu said.

"I asked me to call me brother, I will give me a warning early in the morning, and I will let you have some breakfast?" The man lifted his hair, lifted his torn clothes on his body, and said stubbornly.

"Do you still want to eat?" Lu An said.

"I'm not such a person!" said proudly.

"Oh." After Lu An finished speaking, he was about to put away the steamed buns.

"Okay, Brother An." After saying that, hehe, he began to giggle.

Lu An looked at the silly smile, and he laughed, and handed him the steamed bun.
