Chapter 112 Chapter 112

When Sinan and the others found Situ Shan's master, Xiaocai realized why he had never met the master blacksmith. It turned out that the master no longer worked as a blacksmith, but changed his career to become a woodcutter! "Xue Te, it's not proper to be a good master, but you just hide in this remote village to cut firewood. Is there something wrong with you, old man?" Gao Dai complained when he saw the hunched figure of the old blacksmith. The old blacksmith turned around, a pair of eyes that should have been dim were unexpectedly gentle and clear, deep and distant, as if condensing infinite wisdom.

Seeing these eyes, Gao Dai was suddenly speechless. The old blacksmith smiled slightly, and said: "Since it is the intention of Mr. Li, please come with me." Back at the cabin where the old blacksmith lived, he first took Xiaocai’s broken sword, tapped it carefully with his fingers, and listened to the sound of the sword. After a long time, he raised his head and said, “This sword has hidden cracks many years ago. , Not long ago, a sharp weapon happened to be cut on that crack, so it would be easily broken. It is not difficult to connect this sword, but I don’t know if this young master wants to use the same light snow sword as before, or just continue to connect it?”

Xiaocai asked strangely: "Is there any difference?" Wouldn't it be the same as before? The old blacksmith smiled and said: "This sword is made in a very special way. If it is simply connected, the strength must be far inferior to before. If some special materials can be found, the old man can rebuild it. Not only can the original attributes be restored, It can even go to the next level.” Xiaocai said without hesitation: "Then rebuild it. I don't know what materials are needed? If you need black iron, just take this knife and melt it." If Qing Fury knew that Xiaocai had ruined his treasured sword so much, he might wish to tear him into eight pieces.

The old blacksmith smiled and said: "That's not necessary. I have ordinary ores here, but I'm missing some special things. I'll let you find them yourself." Si Nan smiled and said, "That's easy. Anyway, I'm a member of a gang now. There are full-time blacksmiths in the gang. I can ask them to buy ore." The old blacksmith smiled and said, "I don't need many things. There are only four things, which are included in the twelve-character ballad, the stars in the sky, the water like ice, the stone sand crystal, and the heart of a young man. If you find the first three things, I will tell you Where can you find the fourth one?"

The four of them were stunned when they heard it. He didn't understand the twelve words, but where did they find them? Sinan was distressed: "No hint?" The old blacksmith blinked: "If you can't find it, it can only mean that you have no destiny for this sword." Xiaocai on the side was lost in thought, and Sinan stretched out his hand to pull him, he was suddenly shocked, took out the iron box that Sinan had given him for safekeeping, opened the lid, and there was half a box of unknown powder inside, crystal clear and flickering With the brilliance of the stars. (See Chapter 40 for the origin of this iron box, comrades who don’t remember can look back^^)

"Is this the star in the sky you mentioned? Are these enough?" The old blacksmith showed a mysterious smile: "You guys are really lucky, now you just need to find two more things." The four of them bid farewell to the old blacksmith, and discussed what to do next outside his wooden house. "Water is like ice, what the hell is a stone sand crystal? The old guy is too good at playing with people." The person who complained this way was Gao Dai. "Literally, it is water and crystals, but there are many kinds of crystals, and water is too common. What he wants us to find is definitely not ordinary water." A Yuan said the most basic deduction.

Sinan thought for a while, and said: "The saying that water is like ice is very simple. On the surface, it seems that we are looking for water that is as cold as ice. Could it be that it is very effective for casting swords mentioned in many novels?" Cold spring water?" Of course, he may have misunderstood it. Xiaocai nodded, and said: "It's possible, at present, I can only look down according to this idea... But the meaning of Shishajing, A Yuan only said that Jing is a crystal, and the words stone and sand need to be explained in detail. He patted his sleeves and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, just look for it slowly in the future. It is already a great reward to find this blacksmith today."

The four talked and laughed and left. With Xiaocai's sword in his heart, Sinan asked Wu Gou about water and ore as soon as he went online the next day. After hearing this, the latter smiled bitterly and said, "It's not so easy to find cold water for you. The two blacksmiths in our gang have already After reaching the expert level, it is almost time to use cold water casting to advance to the master level. When you can find it, remember to save some for the gang. As for the ore you mentioned, it is even more confusing. How about this, you go Ask the blacksmith in the gang, let them give you a share of all the ore they can get, and you can take it to the great master for appraisal..." He hesitated, and said, "That... the position of the great master blacksmith Is it convenient to disclose it?" If you can grasp the position of a master blacksmith, it will be more or less beneficial to the gang.

Si Nan shook his head apologetically, it wasn't that he was stingy, but that the old blacksmith had an appointment with them, and he was not allowed to reveal his location to the outside world, otherwise he would leave immediately, regardless of Xiaocai's light snow sword or not. Seeing Si Nan's straightforward refusal, Wu Gou breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's okay, it won't be convenient for you to get the ore yourself. How about this, I'll use my personal friendship to find an excuse to ask a blacksmith for ore. For the sake of face, he won't say it."

Sinan hesitated and said, "This...isn't that good?" Why did he feel that they were giving and receiving in private? Wu Gou said, "If I were happy to ask you about the location of that blacksmith, would you tell me?" Si Nan shook his head and said, "I won't say anything until Xiaocai's sword is connected." Wu Gou smiled and said, "That's it. Since it doesn't matter whether you let Kaixin know, why bother to create a rift between you and him? What's more, your joining Tianya Haijiao has strengthened the gang's strength, and you only need a few pieces of ore That's all, it's not a big deal." He patted Sinan on the shoulder vigorously, and said, "If you feel sorry, you can take some brothers from the gang to level up later, but this practice will definitely be slower than you usually do."

This is not considered compensation at all, Sinan knew that Wu Gou did this to let him integrate into the gang as soon as possible, so he could only keep his gratitude in his heart. After Wu Gou traded a lot of messy things to Sinan, Sinan happily sent these things to Xiaocai, and happily took a group of people to practice leveling. Wu Gou was included in this group of people. "Why did you come too?" Seeing that Wu Gou was also in the leveling team, Sinan asked in surprise. Wu Gou grinned and said, "Biao forgot that my martial arts are also bad... I'm here to gain experience." Si Nan smiled and said nothing. In the next two or three days, also under Wu Gou's deliberate guidance, Sinan gradually became acquainted with the members of Tianya Haijiao. As soon as Sinan said that he was going to duel with the people from Tianjian Villa, eight out of ten said he would go. cheering on the spot. Sinan repeatedly refused, but still failed to completely dispel everyone's idea of ​​joining in the fun, so he had no choice but to let it go. At the gate of the Martial Arts Arena, Tianjian was already waiting for the driver, he bowed his hands to Sinan, and said: "Your Excellency believes in you." Then he introduced a new face to Sinan: "This is the Nanfang who will compete with brother Sinan later. " Si Nan took a closer look at Nanfang. This person was about his age and had an ordinary appearance, but he was more cheerful and outgoing than Si Nan. Seeing Si Nan looking at him, Nan Nan raised his hand with a smile: "Let's hit it casually later, don't take it too seriously." Si Nan replied vaguely, "Don't dare to act." He said so, but he didn't believe that Tianjian was so serious to let this person fight with him casually. If he took this seriously, he would definitely die in the duel without knowing how he died. Although this person in the south is unknown, and Wu Gou once said that he had never heard of it, but he can make Tianjian a trump card, he must not be a weak person, maybe it is the hidden trump card of Tianjian Villa. But even if this person is very powerful, Si Nan is not worried. He didn't have any determination to win this time. Instead, he came here with a peaceful mind that is gratifying to win and happy to lose. Anyway, he is competing in the martial arts arena. Well, if he loses or dies, it's just to lose a little face and make others think less of him. He didn't expect to be a master or master admired by everyone. If the people who come with me know this kind of mentality of thinking about defeat before fighting, will they be very disappointed? Simon shrugged. Entering the martial arts arena, Sinan was taken aback by the number of spectators in the auditorium outside the arena: "Shock! So many people?" Even if the entire Tianjian Villa was brought in, there would not be such a number. Nanfang, who walked into the martial arts arena with him, said with a smile: "Because he used the signboard Tianjian Villa Nanfang to Tianya Haijiao Sinan in his promotion, there must be a lot of people who come to watch the excitement." Si Nan was startled. He didn't expect Tianjian to do such a behind-the-scenes article. When he was ignorant, Tianjian cleverly played a game of stealing and swapping positions, which reversed the nature of this contest. It was no longer his personal grievance between Sinan and Tianjian Villa, but a confrontation between the ends of the earth and the representatives of Tianjian Villa! Tianjian grasped the timing very cleverly. He kept a low profile first, and only made people publicize it on the in-game forum an hour before the competition. Seeing this title, most people would think that this is the battle between Tianjian Villa and Tianya Haijiao, rather than Sinan and Nanfang. It has nothing to do with them, otherwise it will be suspected of showing weakness. Si Nan frowned: It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses personally, he can afford to lose and is not afraid of losing, but what about the ends of the earth? He glanced uneasily at the entrance, and saw Wu Gou, who had been offline an hour ago, appearing there and shouting something to him, but he couldn't hear him due to the sound insulation settings inside and outside the venue. He could vaguely see from the shape of his mouth that Wu Gou seemed to be saying "no". The entrance door was quickly closed, and Wu Gou's figure was blocked outside the door. The ends of the earth can't lose! Si Nan touched the hilt of his sword subconsciously, and looked at Nan Nan who seemed to have a confident expression on his face.
