Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 28 Yan Yi
For some reason, the sword Tango in the sword box could not be used yet, so he decided to forge a new sword.

When Ji Qingyun said that name, Tang Ge remembered that Yanyi was one of the names on the list given by Fang Zhongyu.

It is said that Yanyi was a soldier, but later committed a crime and was expelled, and came to Chaotian City to work as a blacksmith.

Because of his superb skills and easy-going personality, unlike ordinary blacksmiths who are full of anger, he has made weapons for many military generals, so he is very famous in Baihu District and even the entire Chaotian City, but his income is not rich, but Can also make ends meet.

Because Yanyi has a quirk, that is, he doesn't use ordinary weapons.

The concept of "ordinary" is very broad, and the main thing is to do what you want.

Yanyi's blacksmith shop is located in Bailu Street on the edge of Baihu District. There are no big shops in the whole street, only some small inns, medicine shops, calligraphy and painting shops and other places.

The daily flow of people is moderate, neither sparse nor crowded. The blacksmith shop is located in an inconspicuous corner of this street.

Hidden away in the city.

Hearing its sound before seeing its shape, Tang Ge heard the sound of gold and iron colliding a few feet away from the blacksmith shop. As he got so close, a burning sensation came over his face.

A shirtless young man with well-developed muscles and sweating profusely flows down a perfectly drawn arc. His bronze skin and carbon fire complement each other.

The tongs held a piece of burnt red metal, and the huge hammer fell with a bang. Every time the hammer fell, sparks splashed all over the place, and the young man had already perfected his skills in blacksmithing for many years, and the sparks seemed to splash randomly. out, but none of them can splash on the body.

Tang Ge looked at the young blacksmith working in front of the furnace, the scorching fire did not disturb the calm in his eyes.

Although the sound of the blacksmith rolling iron was quite regular, due to the high decibels, he seemed to be immersed in it and did not notice Tango's arrival.

After a long time, he casually picked up a black cloth and wiped off the sweat on his face. In the gap, he finally saw the dazzling red.

"You want to forge weapons?"

The blacksmith grinned when he saw Tango, his white teeth contrasted sharply with his dark skin.

Tang Ge asked: "Are you Yanyi?"

"Yes, my name is Yanyi."

The blacksmith answered truthfully, he stopped what he was doing, and drank a large bowl of water after speaking.

Tang Ge said: "I want to forge a sword, and I want to ask you something."

Yan Yi put down the big bowl, looked at Tang Ge with some doubts, and then said with a smile: "I see that you are destined to forge a sword for you, for five taels of silver, and there is no charge for inquiring about matters."

Tang Ge said: "Use your best metal, how much is it?"

Yan Yi was taken aback for a moment, his eyes shimmered, and he said, "It's also five taels."

"It's all yours."

Tang Ge took out a gold ingot from his pocket, and threw it directly to Yan Yi, who was taken aback, and quickly reached out to catch it.

"It's too much."

Yan Yi stared at the gold ingot in his hand, it was twelve taels of gold, there was no joy, only helplessness.

But looking at Tang Ge's expression, it seemed that there was no room for negotiation.

After saying that, Yan Yi turned around and walked into the narrow inner room, and then there was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, Tang Ge frowned, and saw Yan Yi walking out after a while.

Yan Yi's skin was already dark, and he didn't know what he had done in the inner room, so there was a lot of dust on his body.

When he got closer, Tang Ge saw that he was holding a lot of broken silver in his hand.

"This is money for you." Yanyi smiled honestly, holding the broken silver in both hands and pushing it in front of Tang Ge.

Tang Ge was taken aback, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, glanced at Yan Yi, then at the broken silver in his hand, shook his head, and still took it.

"Hey, I don't know what kind of sword the master wants to forge?" Yan Yi walked back to the charcoal furnace, and raised the hammer again as he spoke.

Tang Ge stared into Yan Yi's eyes and said, "I'm from Kunlun Mountain."

Hearing this, the smile on Yan Yi's face froze slowly, and the hammer in his hand stopped in the air. He stared at Tang Ge with a look of shock on his face. The scorching heat of the carbon furnace made the void in front of him start to blur .

Tang Ge deliberately revealed his identity to test him.

A moment later, Yan Yi dropped the hammer in his hand, amidst the simple and honest, there was only surprisingly indifferent.

"Please move to the inner room to talk."

Tang Ge's eyes flickered slightly, and he walked in.

The inner room is very simple, a bed, a table, two chairs, other than that there are some sundries.

The two sat facing each other, Yan Yi bowed his head and said nothing, while Tang Ge stared at him without leaving his eyes.

After a long while, Yanyi's head moved, but still hung down, and he said, "Are you really from Kunlun Mountain?"

Tang Ge nodded and said, "Yes."

Yanyi suddenly thought of something, suddenly raised his head, and said, "Could it be that you were hunted by the empire a while ago?"

Tang Ge said: "Well, it's me, but it's okay now, let me tell you who you are first?"

Hearing this, Yan Yi's expression became complicated, his eyes dodge, and he glanced at Tang Ge from time to time, but he always looked calm when he saw him.

"I was originally an ordinary soldier in the Liangzhou Guard Army. Because of drinking, I misunderstood the military. I was kicked out after receiving the military law. Then I came to Chaotian City to work as a blacksmith."

Yanyi was talking, and looked at Tang Ge, but saw that the latter just gave him a calm look, meaning to let him continue.

"My original plan was to go back to my hometown, but then I met an old man on the way out of Liangzhou, and he told me to come to Chaotian City."

Yanyi was talking to himself, his expression remained calm, and he skillfully told the past.

"Who is that man? Why did he let you come to Chaotian City? And why did you follow his words and come to Chaotian City?"

Tang Ge asked three questions in a row, which made Yanyi a little overwhelmed for a while.

"The old man just said that he is from Kunlun Mountain, and he doesn't know anything else."

Yanyi looked up at Tang Ge, and continued: "At that time, I didn't have any burdens on me, and when I was hungry, he was like an old god who gave charcoal in the snow, and gave me 300 taels of silver to come to Chaotian City to find a living. "

"I asked him how to repay him. He just said that someone from Kunlun Mountain will come to me in the future, and I will do whatever that person asks me to do. This is repayment."

"Chaotian City is the number one city in the world, and it is prosperous for three thousand years. Who would want to come here to find a way out, so I came here and opened this blacksmith's shop."

After Yanyi finished speaking, he let out a long breath, wondering if Tang Ge had listened.

Tang Ge asked again: "Do you know where the old man went?"

Yan Yi thought for a while, and said: "Before he left, he told me that if someone from Kunlun Mountain asked, he would say that he was in the north."

"Northern?"

Tang Ge lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the dust-covered desktop in front of him, and fell silent. After a long time, he said, "Did he say anything else?"

Yan Yi shook his head and said: "No more, he left after explaining these things."

Tang Ge looked at him. There was no way to determine whether the things he said were true or false. Everything was just his one-sided words, but it was not impossible.

The mountain master's merits are involved in good fortune, his Taoism reaches the pinnacle, and the deduction of prophecies can also be achieved. If the old man is really the mountain master, then all this makes sense.

If that person is not the mountain master, or if the whole thing is Yan Yi's nonsense, then things will become extremely complicated.

"How can I trust you?"

Tang Ge asked again, there was a chill in the words, and Yan Yi's originally hot body shivered.

"This is everything I know. It's up to you to believe it or not. I'm only responsible for spreading the word and fulfilling the promise I made with that old man back then. As long as you ask me to do something, I will definitely do it."

Yan Yi's words were full of pride, and at the end he even patted his bare chest.

Tang Ge took a deep look at Yan Yi, who had a simple and honest face. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, "Let's cast the sword first, how long will it take?"

Yan Yi said: "Five days."

Tang Ge said: "Okay, after five days, I will come to get the sword."

Yanyi asked: "Don't bother, the sword is cast, and I will send it there personally, where do you live?"

Tang Ge thought for a while and said, "An ancient house deep in Zhengyang Street, Zhuque District."

……

……

After Tang Ge left, Yan Yi felt a sense of relief and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

After a while, he was slightly taken aback, even he himself was a little puzzled, why did he react like this?

Yanyi turned his head and glanced at the street with people coming and going outside, it was still the same as before, as if it had never changed.

He got up and walked to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand and groped under the bed, until his palm touched something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and with a force of his arm, he pulled out the thing under the bed.

A long wooden box, covered with a thick layer of dust, looks quite old, Yan Yi carefully picked up the wooden box, his arm sank slightly, this wooden box was surprisingly heavy.

Yan Yi blew hard, and the sky was filled with dust in an instant.

The smoke and dust dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the wooden box, which was black and ordinary.

Yanyi smiled "hehe", and opened the wooden box, a dark red light flooded into his eyes instantly, and his face was a little fanatical.

What came into view was a piece of irregular square metal about six feet long, seven inches wide, and two inches thick, but it had a jade-like luster and was as bright red as blood.

"Hey, I've kept you for so many years, and today it finally comes in handy."

Yan Yi's palm gently touched the metal surface, and he suddenly felt a chill spreading down his arm throughout his body. The red light reflected his eyes, which was quite strange.
