64. Wish the lame
"It's better to be resilient, right? No problem," the lame man grinned, then lowered his head and tempered the iron tool in his hand.
Lu Chen said: "Boss, you are quite knowledgeable about sword casting. If you focus so much on one thing, you will definitely be able to forge a famous sword that will top the sword list in the future!"
The lame boss shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Young man, you are talking about it lightly. Which famous sword on the sword list is not a magic weapon, it is all carefully made by skilled craftsmen. Whether it is material selection or forging techniques, they are better than the old man. Moreover, those magic weapons have been forged through hard work and forging, and then carefully fed by generations of top masters, and are gradually improved. Only by washing away all the dew and retaining essence can they truly become a rare magic weapon in the world!"
"Your bottom-out is enough to show that your forging ability is very good. It seems that the kid has not found the wrong person!" Lu Chen praised.
His skill in flattering is neither exaggerated nor implicit, which makes people feel very comfortable and makes Zhu Lai very helpful.
"When you say this, the old man will do his best to help you create a fine product. The process may be longer. Come and pick it up before the sunset!" Zhu Lazi grinned and had a good impression of Lu Chen, the young boy.
Lu Chen bowed and said, "Then I'll bother you, uncle!" He looked up at the plaque of the shop, which had a few rough words written on it. I wish the Crip Blacksmith Shop! I've identified this place and I'm not afraid of finding the address of the shop later.
He looked up at the sky. The sun was scorching and it was still early. He was about to find a teahouse to rest, but unexpectedly a familiar voice came from behind.
"Lu Chen, why are you here?"
Lu Chen looked back and saw that it was the two girls Liu Yue and Yue Xiu who had not seen each other for a long time.
"Such a coincidence, you are here too!" Lu Chen said in a little surprised.
Yue Xiu covered his mouth and sneered: "Wolong Town is just a palm-sized place, so it's normal to meet it!"
"What are you doing in the blacksmith shop?" Liu Yue said curiously, looking around behind him with her toes.
Lu Chen explained: "I'm looking for someone to help me forge a sword!"
"Hey, I remember the last time you took the assessment, didn't you carry a heavy sword on your body!" Liu Yue was a little confused.
Lu Chen said helplessly: "Yes, yes, but I have recently learned a new set of sword techniques in the sect, but it is not suitable for using heavy swords. I can only find someone to re-customize one!"
"So that's it. Then have the sword you need to build?" Yue Xiu nodded thoughtfully and asked casually.
Lu Chen smiled faintly: "How could you think so quickly? You just negotiated with the boss. I guess you have to wait until sunset before you get it! I was about to find a place to rest, but I didn't expect to meet you."
"Oh, that's a coincidence. Since you have nothing to do now, let's go and have a walk with us. I heard that the scenery of Wolong Town is very beautiful and we haven't appreciated it yet!" Yue Xiu said softly, staring at Lu Chen, who was beautiful without blinking, with his beautiful eyes, with his eyes moving!
When Liu Yue heard this, she turned her head and looked at Yue Xiu in surprise, looking a little surprised. This girl is usually pure and has no desires and doesn't like to communicate with men the most. Today, she is strange. She actually took the initiative to invite a man to have fun. Could it be...!
"This...!" Lu Chen hesitated whether to refuse Fang. At this time, a surprised man's voice suddenly came from not far from the street.
"Xiu'er, it turns out you are here! You don't say anything to me in advance, I'll find it for a long time!" Mo Qingfeng was wearing plain clothes, holding a box of high-end rouge in his hand, and walked quickly from a distance, with a bright smile on his face.
Liu Yue looked unhappy and complained: "Senior Brother Mo, who told you to walk so slowly? You stopped and looked around, and it took a long time. I don't know what you were rushing around, so Xiu'er and I took a step forward. We also want to take advantage of the sunset to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Wolong Town!"
"Sorry, sorry! Didn't I go to choose rouge powder for Xiu'er?" Mo Qingfeng handed the high-end rouge in front of Yue Xiu, and looked like a treasure, with a pleasing look on his face.
"Xiu'er, look, I like the rouge powder I bought for you in Jinxiuzhai."
When Lu Chen saw this scene, he was slightly stunned. He looked at Mo Qingfeng with a diligent look, and then looked at Yue Xiu, who looked a little uneasy, and his expression became a little strange.
Looking at the rouge powder handed over by Senior Brother Mo, Yue Xiu frowned immediately, especially when she saw Lu Chen's strange eyes, her expression suddenly became much more nervous.
"Senior Brother Mo, your gift is too expensive, Yuexiu can't afford it!" Yuexiu hurriedly refused, fearing that it would cause misunderstandings from Lu Chen.
Mo Qingfeng said repeatedly: "It's okay, it's just a small gift. Xiu'er, just take it! When I went to visit your father at the mansion, I hadn't given you a decent gift yet!"
Liu Yue turned her eyes aside and said a little sour: "Oh, I bought it specifically for Xiu'er. It seems that it doesn't have my share! Senior Brother Mo, you are so partial!"
"Junior Sister Liu, I'm really sorry. I'll buy it for you next time when I go to Jinxiuzhai." Mo Qingfeng touched the back of his head, smiling a little embarrassedly.
Lu Chen was hung aside and didn't make a fool for a long time, so he said, "Everyone, I won't interfere with you anymore. You can continue shopping. I have something to do, so I'll leave first!"
"Brother Lu, where are you going? Aren't you going to have a tour with us?" Yue Xiu was anxious when he saw Lu Chen leaving and asked quickly.
Lu Chen said lightly: "Senior Brother Mo is enough to accompany you. I don't like to join in the fun, so you should play by yourself!" After that, without waiting for Yue Xiu and the others to react, he turned around and left alone.
When Mo Qingfeng saw Lu Chen walking away with tactfulness, he felt very comfortable and immediately said, "Xiu'er, look at this rouge powder, I can't use it even if I am a big man. At least I am my whole heart, just take it!"
Yue Xiu's face was originally very gentle, but when he saw Lu Chen leaving, he felt so uncomfortable. His face immediately turned abrupt: "No, Brother Mo, please take it to others, I don't need it!"
Then she turned her head and said to Liu Yue: "Liu Yue, it's getting late, let's go back to the sect!"
"But we haven't appreciated the scenery of Wolong Town yet!" Liu Yue said in confusion.
Yue Xiu held her hand and said while walking, "Next time, I have more time to come and play in the future!" After saying that, he ignored Mo Qingfeng and walked directly towards Suanjian Peak.
After the two left, Mo Qingfeng was left alone, holding the rouge and water powder, not knowing what to do.
"What's wrong with Xiu'er today? She treats people so gentlely on weekdays, but why did she suddenly become so cold!" Mo Qingfeng looked confused and looked at the backs of Yue Xiu and the others leaving, looking a little confused. He didn't come up with a clue for a long time.
Lu Chen stayed quietly in the nearby teahouse for a whole afternoon, and did not appear at Zhu Crooked Blacksmith's Shop until sunset.
"You are here!" Zhu Lazi grinned immediately when he saw Lu Chen.
Lu Chen responded: "Boss, how did you build the soft sword I need?"
"I will live up to my mission, haha!" Zhu Lazi walked into the dark blacksmith shop, took out a long and quaint wooden box, and handed it to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and when he opened the wooden box, a slender and soft sword that was bright and bright was immediately presented to him.
He picked up the soft sword, stretched out his finger and gently flicked it on it. The flexible sword body kept trembling in the air, making a crisp and pleasant "buzzing" sound, like a hummingbird's cry. The sword light was like a stream of light, and the cold light was everywhere, creating very exquisitely.
"Good sword, extremely tough, boss, you did not disappoint me!" Lu Chen said excitedly, gently stroked the slender sword body, unable to let go of it.
Zhu Crip said proudly: "Boy, you are also lucky to find an old man to build a soft sword. You must know that forging a soft sword is more than several times more difficult than an ordinary sharp sword. Regardless of the craftsmanship or forging level, this soft sword is a rare masterpiece for an old man in the past decade. If it were someone else, hum, it would be a dream to be able to build such an exquisite soft sword!"
"Of course, after seeing this sword, I believe that in the entire Wolong Town, you must be first-class in sword-making skills, and no one can compare with it! I believe that in the future, you can also forge a magic weapon that can top the sword list!" Lu Chen was in a very good mood to get this sword, and he talked endlessly about Zhu Crook's praise.
Zhu Laizi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Boy, don't praise the old man too much. You know how much you have! "
"Boss, it's getting late. How much does it cost?" Lu Chen looked at the sky and said.
Zhu Lazi wiped his greasy, black and rough palms and said with a smile: "Brother, this high-quality soft sword is probably no less than 100 taels of silver at the market price. It depends on how the old man is in. If he is unhappy, he won't sell it!"
"The boss is indeed a person of temperament. In terms of price, I still hope you will give it a little discount!" Lu Chen was a little surprised when he heard this. This boss was really a bit willful. He was afraid that he would be the only one in business. But when he heard the price proposed by the boss, he felt a little anxious because Tang Yun gave him not much money that day, and with the expenses during this period, he spent a lot of money one after another, and he couldn't get enough money to buy it.
Zhu Lazi smiled and said, "However, the old man sees that you are also a sword-knowing person. I believe that this sword will not insult its reputation even if it falls into your hands. I will give you a discounted price and get twenty silver, and this sword will belong to you! If you were those playboys, I wouldn't buy a hundred taels of gold."
When Lu Chen heard this, he immediately smiled happily: "Thank you, boss, I will take care of your business in the future!" The blacksmith shop only charged him twenty taels of silver, which can be said to be very kind, which is equivalent to just charging him a manual fee and not making a penny.
After saying goodbye to the owner of the blacksmith shop, Lu Chen did not stay for too long and returned to Qinglong Courtyard.
On the empty playground, there was a large group of people gathered, and there were some onlookers watching, and fierce fighting kept coming from it.
Lu Chen couldn't help but be curious. When he walked over and saw that a generous young man was competing with another thin-faced blue-robed disciple.
