Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 119
Traveling southward, I also thought about it along the way.

Ever since he killed the old hag, he seemed to have turned into a headless fly, bumping into shit wherever there was shit, causing him to be sloppy, and even feel aggrieved.

Simply look away, don't care what kind of bullshit Yuan Gongbao is, anyway, in the future, if such a thing happens again, there is nothing to say, just roll up your sleeves and do it.

He had thought too much before, so that he was timid and made his mind uneasy.

Now that I have changed my mind, I feel more at ease.

Now that he was reunited with his family, and in this tranquil town again, Lu Heng was in high spirits, and kept silent all night.But still did not move Gong Lan, this girl's age is still two years away.

When he woke up the next morning, Lu Heng picked up the habits he had dropped due to boating and traveling during this period, and walked around the martial arts field a few times.

I went to see Gong Lan, who was still still there, and saw that she was in a much better mood, so she took the gun and the Japanese knife and went out to Zhu Dahammer's blacksmith shop.

When I arrived at the blacksmith's shop, I saw Zhu Dachui teaching a few young men the tricks of blacksmithing.These are the apprentices he accepted here.

These days, a craft is close to him, and he is an iron rice bowl. Zhu Dazhui revealed that he wanted to take an apprentice, and immediately people from the town came to his door to send the child to learn the craft.

Zhu Dachui picks and chooses, picks out a few with suitable physique and temperament, and puts them under his hands.

This has been going on for months.

Seeing Lu Heng, Zhu Dachui came forward shirtless, his eyes fell on the package in Lu Heng's hand.

Lu Heng opened the package, first the cold iron gun head, and then the Japanese sword.

Zhu Dachui's eyes lit up, he grabbed the Japanese knife, weighed it, and his face showed excitement: "Good knife!"

He held it and looked at it carefully, looking back and forth several times, his expression became more and more excited: "This material has never been seen before, but it is definitely higher than cold iron!"

He grabbed the gun head again, looked left and right, and said to Lu Heng: "The material of this Japanese sword is more suitable for making a gun head. See if this works, melt the cold iron gun head, add some hardware, Make a pole; melt this Japanese sword into a gun head."

Lu Heng said: "Brother Zhu's craftsmanship has nothing to say, you have the final say."

"Okay!" Zhu Dachui laughed: "This time we must make a real magic weapon!"

He said: "It's not easy to combine these two items. Especially for this knife, I have to explore the nature of the material first. If you want to shoot this big gun, it may not last for a year or so. You have to be prepared. "

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, just let go and do whatever you want."

Just cold iron, it will take more than a month to melt.The material of the Japanese sword is worse than that of cold iron. It does not mean that the material is better and harder to melt, but that it takes time to explore the characteristics of this material, and rebuilding it according to its characteristics will naturally take a lot of time to ponder.

After handing over the Japanese knife and the cold iron gun head to Zhu Dachui, Lu Heng chatted with him.

Said: "Your business here is very prosperous."

Zhu Dachui said with a smile: "It turns out that there is no blacksmith in the town. To buy a kitchen knife or a hoe, the common people have to go to the county town dozens of miles away to buy it. Didn't I just fill in this gap?"

He said happily: "Earlier, I had to go to the county town to buy iron materials. Later, I found several deposits in the nearby mountains, which contained copper and iron, so I smelted them myself. I didn't have to travel so far and spend so much money to buy them."

"Zaoshan Town does not have much demand for metal utensils. I mine a batch of ore every three months, and there is still a surplus after smelting."

Lu Heng was surprised: "You still found the mine?"

Zhu Dachui said with a smile: "Don't underestimate me. My ability to find ore is not inferior to that of blacksmithing. This place is a good place, and the mineral deposits on the mountain are very rich."

Lu Heng said: "Then you have to be careful, don't let the government find out."

Zhu Dachui let out a cry, waved his hands and said: "The government is not afraid if they know. The mine, the hills it belongs to, belong to the Gezao faction. The imperial court granted these hills to the Gezao faction many years ago. I will go to the Gezao faction. I have discussed with the priests, I am allowed to mine the ore, and I just need to provide them with kitchen knives, hoes and other utensils every now and then."

Lu Heng suddenly said: "That's good."

In the past dynasties, after they stabilized, most of the authentic sects of Buddhism and Taoism were canonized.It's nothing to seal off a few hills, and there are even grants of ten thousand hectares of fertile land.

For example, Shaolin Temple, such as Longhu Mountain, are themselves big landlords.

Ge Zao Pai is quite shabby, with only a few hills.There is not much land under the mountain.

After chatting for a few more words, Lu Heng asked, "Which mountain is my master's mountain gate on? Choosing a day is worse than hitting the sun. I'll go up and identify the gate today."

Zhu Dachui said: "Then I will take you there."

Lu Heng waved his hand: "You are busy here, just tell me the way."

Zhu Dachui was really busy, so he didn't force himself, and said, "Go out to the west of the town, walk two or three hundred steps, and you will see a small road leading to the mountain. Go all the way up, and there are three forks near the cliff halfway up the mountain. .You take the one on the right.”

He said: "The mountain road is rugged, because there are few people walking and it is covered by weeds, don't make a mistake."

Lu Heng asked carefully and nodded: "Is there a three-way road in Yingchouya? My master said it. I won't admit my mistake when I get to the end of the road."

Don't pass Zhu Dachui, Lu Heng went home, and got up now.Gong Lan is practicing martial arts, Jiu'er and Huang Chun are planning to sew clothes for the coming summer.

When Lu Heng came back, he had breakfast together first. Lu Heng said that he would go up the mountain to find the door.

Gong Lan said: "I went up once, the road is very dangerous. Be careful."

Lu Heng smiled and said: "A hail of bullets is not worth mentioning, so what is a mere mountain road? You stay at home, don't think about anything else, it's over when it's over."

After a pause, he said, "Ma San, you are welcome. Ask him if he plans to go to Shuzhong or Hong Kong Island first, and make a decision when I come back."

He also said: "The town is peaceful, go out for a walk when you have nothing to do. Doesn't Jiu'er feel like you have nothing to do? Why don't you just see if there is any business to do, and open a shop."

After going out, Lu Heng walked around the street, bought some daily necessities, went up the mountain, and went to the door.

When the master talked to him at the beginning, it was probably still a little vague.I only talked about Zaoshan Town and Yingshouya, but I really didn't say clearly about the specific places.

Probably Master has been away for decades and has forgotten a lot.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it has distinctive features, it's not difficult to find.

The mountain road is indeed rugged, and at this time in late spring, the vegetation is already flourishing.In the lush mountains, birds are singing; in the deep and dense grass, there are many flowers.

With Lu Heng's footsteps, it took less than 10 minutes to go up the mountain and came to Yingchou Cliff.

A small road extends from the bottom of the mountain to the edge of a dangerous half-mountain cliff, dividing it into three parts.The one to the left is the most gentle, the one in the middle is the steepest upward, and the one on the right is along the cliff, the most dangerous.

Lu Heng stepped on the edge of the cliff and walked all the way across the cliff with a big burden on his back.After turning a huge protruding stone, I saw a narrow valley, and a path went up from the valley, like a line of sky.
