Chapter 117 Shangba Village

The two of them calmed down. Li Minxing turned around and looked out the door. Two people were looking around. He Lewei asked, "Shopkeeper, why would a snake run into the house?" The two men, one man and one woman, were both old men, and the old woman was the shopkeeper who just received the two. After the two elders were asked, they were so scared that they ran away. Li Minxing and He Lewei chased out and blocked the door and stopped them. Li Minxing asked, "Are you the snake you put?

"The two elders saw that there was a little blood on Li Minxing's big sword, and they were very scared. They opened their mouths so scared that they couldn't speak. He Lewei said, "With your ability, you want to learn to open a black shop, and you are not afraid of losing your life?" The elders hurriedly knelt down on the spot, kowtowed and begged, "Two guests, please spare your life!" He Lewei shouted, "It's okay to spare your dog's life. So tell me, why do you open a black shop here? How many people have you harmed?"

The old man said, "Keep, we have never done such a bad thing before. But we just caught two poisonous snakes recently. Seeing the two dressed in beautiful clothes, we became ill-hearted. It really deserves to die, and I hope the guest will spare my life." He Lewei said, "In this way, you should really deserve to die. However, if you can tell some useful news, you may still be able to save your life." The old man asked hurriedly, "I don't know what news you are asking for, and the two olds must tell the truth." He Lewei asked, "There are many powerful weapons in western Sichuan, so who is the most famous blacksmith here? How sharp are the weapons they have made?" The old man and the old woman looked at each other.

At first glance, it was quite difficult. The old man said, "I'm not to hide it from the guest officials. There are indeed many famous blacksmiths in western Sichuan, but the old man really doesn't know who made the weapons that are the sharpest." He Lewei asked, "Then tell me which famous blacksmiths are there and where are they living?" The old man said, "Keep, there are indeed too many famous blacksmiths in western Sichuan. What do you mean by me?" He Lewei shouted, "Who is the most famous blacksmiths who make weapons?" The old man said, "That's easy to say. There is a village at the intersection of Sichuan and Yunnan, all called Shangba Village. It is on the edge of the Jinsha River. The iron ore is fine, and the weapons that are made are the most famous. Most of the weapons of the Ming Dynasty came from there."

After hearing this, Li Minxing and He Lewei were overjoyed. After asking for directions, they threatened the two elders to avoid doing evil again in the future. Then they rushed away overnight. Until noon the next day, the scorching sun was in the sky and the water in the bamboo tube had already been drunk. When they were hungry and thirsty, they saw a big river suddenly appearing at the foot of the mountain ahead. The river was turbulent and the river was golden, and it seemed turbid. He Lewei exclaimed: "Brother Min, is this the Jinsha River?" Li Minxing nodded, pointed to the south, and said: "There seems much flatter over there. There should be someone. Let's run in that direction." As he said that, the two rode their horses along the river to the south.

Sure enough, not long after, I saw a village beside the river. There seemed to be thirty or forty families everywhere, each of which was not far away, and was distributed in a scattered manner on the mountain. The two suppressed their inner excitement, slowed down, and slowly drove into the village. Seeing that the doors and windows of the first family were closed, and the doors were messy, unlike the way someone lived. The two looked at each other and continued to look down until the fifth family was like this. They were confused in their hearts, and looked up and saw that there was also a family on the slope not far away, and an old man was sitting by the dam smoking a dry cigarette. Li Minxing and He Lewei hurriedly rode their horses over as if they had caught the last life-saving straw, but the mountain road was bumpy, but the horse could not run. The two hurriedly got off the horse and let the horse wander and eat grass in the village. The two used their light skills to run up.

When he arrived in front of the dam, he saw that the old man was at least in his sixties, with deep eyes, dark skin, and lush stubble, but they were all dark and not a little white. He looked at Li Minxing and He Lewei as if nothing had happened. He Lewei was shocked for a while before he asked slowly: "Old man, is this Shangba Village?" The old man nodded, slowly exhaled a breath of cigarette, but did not say anything. He Lewei continued to ask: "Why are there no one in the village

Where to stay?" The old man sighed and didn't say anything. He Lewei was confused and didn't know what to say. However, Li Minxing said loudly: "Old man, I heard that there is a blacksmith in Shangba Village that can create a powerful weapon that is unparalleled in the world. Li came to ask for a sharp weapon that can cut off the iron cage that is thick with his wrists." The old man looked at him, then looked at the Lengyue sword in his hand, and turned around and still looked at the turbulent river water flowing down his feet, but still didn't say anything.

He Lewei asked, "Old man, what happened here? Why are you the only one?" After a long time, the old man exhaled another cigarette and said lightly, "Look at you like martial arts heroes?" He Lewei said, "What does the uncle mean when asking this?" The old man said, "Is it just to create an unparalleled weapon to cut off some iron cage? Who will cut off the claws that cover Shangba Village?" He Lewei asked in surprise: "The claws that cover Shangba Village? Uncle, why not just say, Brother Min's martial arts

The world is unparalleled, and it will definitely be able to kill demons and eliminate demons." The old man looked at Li Minxing and asked, "Who is your surname?" Li Minxing said, "Let me be here." The old man looked at He Lewei again, and she said, "Your younger brother, he Lewei." The old man nodded and said, "Look at you, you are so dusty, as if you are here from a very far place?" He Lewei said, "That's right. We came from Jiujiang to create a big knife that can cut off an iron cage as thick as your wrist and rescue friends trapped in it."

The old man threw the dry tobacco pipe on the ground and said, "Cut it off." Li Minxing was stunned and didn't know what to do. The old man continued, "Actually claiming that martial arts is unparalleled in the world, can you dare not cut a dry tobacco pipe?" Li Minxing was furious and swung the Leng Yue's big knife and slashed it down. But with a "dang", the dry tobacco pipe fell half a foot deep underground. The old man smiled faintly and said, "I have all my strength, but I have a useless blunt knife."

Li Minxing was furious, but his face was silent. He Lewei said, "Brother Min, look at the knife edge." Li Minxing picked up the Leng Yue Dao and looked at it. There was a gap as wide as a thumb on the knife edge, which was just the same size as the thickness of the dry tobacco pipe. He was shocked. He held the Leng Yue Dao in his hand and picked up the dry tobacco pipe from the ground, took it in his hand and looked carefully. It seemed that there was nothing special, but after being slashed by a big knife, there was no trace at all.

The old man said lightly: "Everyone is called my husband, Wang Blacksmith. Although everyone here is a blacksmith, only I have the name of "blacksmith". This dry tobacco pipe was just made by me. What do you think of it?" Li Minxing said: "Shangba Village is indeed well-known. A mere dry tobacco pipe can make the Leng Yue Knife, which has been famous for a long time, convinced me. Senior Wang, can you help me rebuild a exactly the same cold moon knife, which is cut like mud and blowing hair." Wang Blacksmith said lightly: "That's right, if I suffocate a Leng Yue Knife again.

Knife can naturally cut off any iron tool. But if you rescue your friend, who will save the old and young people in this village?" He Lewei asked the reason, Wang Blacksmith said: "There is a nest of robbers on the other side of the Jinsha River, called the 'Sichuan-Dianlonghu Gang'. There are hundreds of people in the Sichuan-Dianlonghu Gang, hiding in the deep mountains, and often sneaking out of the mountains to burn, kill and loot. Unexpectedly, the gang of robbers crossed the Jinsha River to rob Shangba Village. After a few times, the surviving young people hid in the deep mountains. The formerly famous Blacksmith Village became a **, and there was only an old ghost who could not walk here. Alas!"

Li Minxing said: "Senior Wang, do you know where the villagers are hiding?" Wang Blacksmith said: "Of course I know. What does Li Daxia want to do?" Li Minxing said: "Senior Wang, let's do a business, how about?" Wang Blacksmith asked in surprise: "What business? What price can I still be worth at such a big age?" Li Minxing said: "I will destroy the Sichuan-Dianlonghu Gang, Shangba Village will help me create a new cold moon knife, which is unparalleled in the world. How about?" Wang Blacksmith asked in surprise: "Young people, it can do it to create a sharp sword that is unparalleled in the world. But you may not be able to destroy the huge Sichuan-Dianlonghu Gang." Li Minxing asked in surprise: "Young people, it can do it to create a sharp sword that is unparalleled in the world. But you may not be able to destroy the huge Sichuan-Dianlonghu Gang." Li Minxing said:

He said lightly: "Senior, if you don't believe what I said, you can try it." Wang Blacksmith shook his head and said, "How to try? Although there are countless blacksmiths in Shangba Village, none of them can do anything, otherwise they wouldn't hide in the mountains." He Lewei said, "Senior, why don't we ask all Shangba Village to go back to the village first, and deliberately attract the robbers from the Sichuan-Dianlonghu Gang to come and rob. Let the villagers see how Brother Min killed the robbers." Wang Blacksmith looked at him half-believingly, and Li Minxing was standing on his chest and said, "Don't be afraid to tell senior that Li Minxing's countless souls are under the sword. No matter how many robbers from the Sichuan-Dianlonghu Gang come, the younger generation can kill them alone."

Seeing that he was loyal and not like a lie, Wang Blacksmith believed it halfway and said, "Actually, you don't need to ask the villagers to come back to attract robbers." He Lewei asked in surprise, "What's the solution?" Wang Blacksmith said, "Burning the stove at home from house to house. The robbers saw it from house to house and thought that the fire was on the fire, and they would cross the river." Li Minxing said, "That's great." So, when He Lewei asked about how to burn fire, Wang Blacksmith burned on his own stove. After understanding it, He Lewei went to burn fire door to house. Sure enough, he saw that the smoke in the chimney of each household was faint. As expected, from a distance, he thought that every household was starting to cook. Wang Blacksmith sat by the dam with a dry tobacco pipe, smoking a cigarette with a serious expression. He Lewei and Li Minxing looked at the stoke river calmly and thoughtful.

Not long after, he suddenly heard shouts. Wang Blacksmith was surprised and said, "The robbers from the Sichuan-Dianlonghu Gang are here!" Li Minxing said, "Senior Wang, please don't panic if you are younger! Where can the robbers enter the village?" Wang Blacksmith said, "They came in from the entrance of the village below." Li Minxing was holding the Leng Yue Dao and was about to go to the entrance of the village, but was stopped by Wang Blacksmith and said, "Where can you use this broken knife? It's better to use the 'Qinglong Yanyue Dao' created by me." As he said, he walked into the house, and after a while, he came out with a big knife in his hands, which was indeed very similar to the legendary "Qinglong Yanyue Dao". Li Minxing took it and was not very heavy. Seeing that the big knife was black all over, he asked in surprise: "Senior Wang, can this knife really be used?" Wang Blacksmith smiled and said, "Your Excellency, can you cut off your Leng Yue Dao?"

Li Minxing also wanted to try the blade, so he hurriedly threw the Leng Yue sword into the air, then swung the Qinglong Yanyue sword at the right time. With a crisp sound, Leng Yue's sword suddenly broke into two pieces. When he picked up the Qinglong Yanyue sword, there was no trace of damage. He Lewei was surprised and said, "It's really a treasure sword!" Wang Blacksmith said, "How can this be considered a treasure sword? It's just that I built it for Guan Gong to use." As he said that, he took them into the house

In the inner lobby, a stone sculpture of Guan Gong who was taller than Li Minxing stood in the middle, majestic, but there was a big knife in his hand. Wang Blacksmith said: "The Qinglong Yanyue Sword I created was originally designed for Guan Gong, so it was not specially made so sharp. After Li Daxia killed the robber, he had to return it to Guan Gong." Li Minxing nodded and agreed, carrying the big knife to run towards the entrance of the village. He Lewei accompanied Wang Blacksmith to stand by the dam and watched the scene at the entrance of the village from afar.

Li Minxing stood at the entrance of the village, standing on the right side of the sword, majestic. Suddenly, he saw a man leading the way, followed by seven or eight people appearing at the corner. The man's face was covered with flesh, his eyebrows were upside down, and his machete made people feel frightened at first sight. Everyone behind him was dressed in black and white clothes, holding a big knife, looking around. When they saw a strange man blocking his way, the man asked, "Which one are you giving me?" In a Sichuan dialect, Li Minxing could only roughly understand the meaning of the words and said, "I am here to deal with you!" The man was furious and said, "I see you are here to die! Call out the blacksmith Wang and take the tribute obediently. Grandpas, let's go back now!" Li Minxing's big knife was crossed and said, "I ask my big knife to pay tribute!" His accent of learning Sichuan dialect was not at all, but he spoke awkwardly.

The robbers pointed at Li Minxing with swords and shouted in unison: "Who are you? You dare to block the grandpa's wealth!" Li Minxing said: "Leng Yue swordsman Li Minxing!" The first person said: "I am the leader of the Sichuan Dragon and Tiger Gang, known as the 'Flying Dragon Crossing the River' Long Si! Death!" As he said, he raised his sword and slashed over. Li Minxing wanted to fight, but immediately swung the big sword, poured his skills, and went straight to meet him. With a "dang", the big sword in Long Si's hand was broken.

Two pieces of Li Minxing didn't stop, and his sword was as fast as lightning, directly slashing his head. Seeing this, the other robbers were still in a dream and were so shocked that they couldn't stop. At this time, a voice came: "Cut the weeds and roots!" It was Wang's blacksmith who came from the hillside. After hearing this, Li Minxing raised his sword and fell as fast as lightning, ending the remaining robbers on the spot. He Lewei's cheers came from the hillside, and Wang Blacksmith also asked Li Minxing to come back.

After Li Minxing returned to the dam, Wang Blacksmith looked at Li Minxing and said, "According to your martial arts, even if you only have a wooden knife, it is invincible in the world. Why do you still have a powerful weapon in the world?" So He Lewei explained why he wanted a powerful weapon. After hearing this, Wang Blacksmith said, "In this way, without a powerful weapon in the world, it is indeed difficult to break the iron cage. Alas, it's a pity that it's not easy to build such a weapon?" He Lewei asked in surprise: "Senior Wang, isn't Shangba Village a village of sharp weapons known to everyone in the world? Can't it be built?" Wang Blacksmith said, "The peerless weapon does not only rely on the blacksmith's skills, but also requires good materials. My grandfather once created a shocking weapon called the 'Sky-Splitting Knife'. Unfortunately, the knife used up all the iron ore, and it's hard to create an equally sharp weapon now."

Li Minxing murmured, "When I came to western Sichuan, I heard that the 'Sky Sword' was the most powerful weapon in the world, but I didn't expect it to be made by the grandfather of my predecessor. So, where is this knife now?" Wang Blacksmith pointed to the other side of the Jinsha River and said, "'Sky Sword' is on the other side of the river.'Sky Sword' was built to thank Xie Yingtian, the head of the Zhitian Sect, and the disciples of the disciples of the Zhitian Sect, for the sake of saving lives. I remember that the floods were raging that year, all the villagers of Shangba Village lived on the edge of the cliff. Fortunately, Xie and the disciples of the Zhitian Sect rescued them and moved the villagers of the entire village away, and escaped the disaster. But later, the Sichuan-Yunnan Dragon and Tiger Gang rose and destroyed the Zhitian Sect, so they naturally took the 'Sky Sword' as their own and regarded it as the treasure of the mountain."

Li Minxing said: "Senior, please tell us clearly where the Sichuan-Dianlong and Tiger Gang is. I will destroy him now. On the one hand, it will benefit the people in the world, and on the other hand, it will also be to regain the treasure sword." Wang Blacksmith said: "If you can regain the treasure sword, I can use the "Sky-Splitting Sword" and then to forge a exactly the same "Leng Yue Knife". How about it?" Li Minxing was overjoyed: "It's so good." So he asked the direction and wanted to go. Wang Blacksmith stopped him and said: "You can't pass the Jinsha River like this. Dragon and Tiger Gang

The robber crossed an iron chain in the river to cross the river. If you want to cross the river, it is not enough to be very skilled in martial arts. You have to be familiar with the nature of water and be bold and careful." So, Wang Blacksmith immediately wrote a few words with charcoal, "Go back to the village, the Dragon and Tiger Gang have been destroyed" on a piece of cloth, and asked He Lewei to follow the direction he pointed to to the mountains, and asked the orphans of Shangba Village to return to the village. Wang Blacksmith said: "Fang Laowu can take you across the river, just wait for him to come back." He Lewei ran out immediately.

The nearly ten dead bodies of the Dragon and Tiger Gang were all thrown into the Jinsha River by Li Minxing. After waiting for a while, Li Minxing became impatient and said, "Senior, how difficult is it to cross the river? You might as well take me to see." Wang Blacksmith thought for a while, took out five large firecrackers from his house, asked Li Minxing to tie them around his waist, and instructed: "The river embankment in the northwest of the Dragon and Tiger Nest is a weakness. When you get there, you will know how to use it." As he said that, he patted the firecrackers on his waist. Then,

He took him out of the village entrance and walked south for a while to a narrower section of the river. He saw an iron chain vaguely crossing the river. Wang Blacksmith pointed to the edge of the cliff under his feet and said, "Look, the iron chain is as thick as a wrist, and the two ends are buried deep in the stone wall. This path can reach the foot of the cliff, where there is a small boat. The robbers of the Dragon and Tiger Gang are standing in the boat and holding the iron chain can cross the river. But you are not familiar with the water, and even if you have a boat and an iron chain, it is difficult to cross the river."
