At the beginning, I picked up a big guy to be a master

Chapter 138
Xiao Yu'er thought that what he said earlier cut off the retreat of the five scattered people, but he didn't expect that they blocked him again in the middle of the night and brought him to the conference hall.

In the conference hall, Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, and Wei were all there with a smile.

Xiao Yu'er broke away from Monk Peng and Taoist Tie Guan, walked to the front seat and sat down, crossed his legs and said impatiently: "If you have any other tricks, hurry up and use them."

Yang Xiao and Fan Yao looked at each other, then led the crowd to kneel in front of Xiao Yu'er, and said in unison, "Your subordinates will see the deputy leader!"

Xiao Yu'er jumped up from the chair in shock, and said with a half smile: "Hey, you, what are you just doing?"

Yang Xiao raised his head and said, "Before, Jiang Shaoxia said that he would join the Mingjiao unless he was given the position of leader. Now we sincerely recommend you as the deputy leader of my religion. Except for Zhang leader, you have the final say on all matters in the religion." Said When it's over, Yang Xiao bows again.

"Wait!" Xiao Yu'er interrupted him, "I'm talking about the leader, and your deputy leader is too perfunctory, don't count!"

Yang Xiao said: "Master Zhang is alone now, and you are the only one who is the biggest in the sect. Although you are only the deputy leader, you are like the leader and the deputy leader. You keep your promises. I believe you will never break your promise to us."

Xiao Yu'er feels very bad, he doesn't want to be some kind of deputy leader, it seems that he can't stay in this place.

"Hey, Yang Zuoshi, you're welcome, please be polite..." Xiao Yu'er got off the chair and helped up several people kneeling on the ground one by one, from the innermost one to the outermost one, until the last one, Budai Monk Shi quickly stretched out his hand, pushed his legs and ran out, but he bumped into someone head-on just after running less than ten steps.

It was too dark, Xiao Yu'er stopped to take a closer look, all the heroes of the Ming Cult and generals of the rebel army were all standing in the courtyard, obviously waiting for him.

Xiao Yu'er swallowed, only to hear a sudden chorus in the yard, everyone knelt down, and shouted loudly: "See the deputy leader! See the deputy leader!..."

They yelled over and over again, Xiao Yu'er was a little at a loss, he went to pull them up, but these people just couldn't get up.

"Yang Zuoshi, let them get up quickly!" Xiao Yu'er asked Yang Xiao for help, but Yang Xiao was still there, saying that it had nothing to do with the matter, "Only the deputy leader can get them up."

"you……"

Xiao Yuer was very angry, of course he could ignore it and leave, but seeing Tang Yang, Yan Yuan, Xin Lie, Xu Da, and those friends who used to talk and laugh with him all knelt in front of him and begged He, believe him, he will never leave.

"Okay! I promise the head office!" Xiao Yu'er said helplessly.

Yang Xiaomo smiled and said nothing.

Xiao Yu'er walked up to Xin Lie and the others, and said, "Why don't you get up quickly?"

Xin Lie glanced at Yang Xiao, only to see Yang Xiao nodded slightly, Xin Lie and the others stood up.

Although Xiao Yu'er was forced to become the deputy leader of the Ming Cult, it was a great event for the Ming Cult. Before dawn, Yang Xiao asked people to spread the news overnight. Within a few days, Jiang Xiaoyu The news of Mingjiao's deputy leader spread throughout the martial arts world.

When Zhou Zhiruo heard the news, she had visited no less than ten swordsmiths, but none of them could make the sword she wanted.

This day she stayed in a small town, which was located in the southwestern border, and there were not many people. Zhou Zhiruo found a teahouse to rest.

There were not many people in the tea shop, Zhou Zhiruo sat by the window and looked out the window.

Things in the rivers and lakes are disturbing, it is not as free as idle clouds and wild cranes.

It's a pity that she still has a lot of unfinished business, and she still has a lot of unwillingness and regret.

She sighed, and suddenly saw a quarrel in a wine shop across the road, and a boy in gray was thrown out of the shop.

The gray-clothed boy rolled around on the ground, stood up with his hands on his hips and shouted, "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it. What are you dragging! I won't buy it, sir!"

The waiter in the store said impatiently: "If you don't buy it, don't buy it. Get out of here. You don't do business every day. Let's talk about it when you pay the sake!"

It seemed that he was a defaulter, Zhou Zhiruo felt bored, and was about to look away, but the boy turned around suddenly, and immediately stopped moving when he saw her.

Zhou Zhiruo knew that a man's heart would be shaken when he saw her appearance, so she didn't take it seriously, she called the shopkeeper to give him tea money, she carried her luggage, and went out with a long wooden box containing broken knives and swords. The tea shop, but saw the young man standing at the door of the tea shop, staring at her and giggling.

Zhou Zhiruo didn't want to pay attention, and went to lead the horse tied outside.

Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo was about to leave, the young man hurried to catch up.

"girl."

The young man has delicate features and bright eyes.

Zhou Zhiruo frowned, her eyes condensed.

The young man was caught by her aura, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but seeing that she had got on the horse and hurriedly pulled the rein, he said eagerly: "Young lady, are you looking for a swordsmith?"

Zhou Zhiruo paused and looked down at him.

The boy chuckled twice, touched the back of his head, and looked a little naive.

"I heard from one of my uncles that there was a beautiful girl holding a wooden box and was looking for a swordsmith everywhere. I think it must be you, the girl." The appearance of arguing with others in the restaurant is quite different, "To be honest, my family is a sword maker, why don't you show it to me?"

Zhou Zhiruo stared at the young man in front of her, seeing that he was young, no more than 20 years old, could he really forge the sword she wanted?
The young man knew that he was not good enough to win people's trust, so he hurriedly said: "Young lady, if you don't believe me, you can go to my house and have a look, my house really makes swords."

Zhou Zhiruo still doesn't quite believe it, but she has found many famous swordsmiths along the way, but they can't make what she wants. Maybe she finds another way and instead bumps into a dead mouse instead?
"You lead the way."

The young man smiled even more, nodded repeatedly, and even led the horse for her himself.

Zhou Zhiruo didn't say much, and let the young man lead her horse away.

But if Zhou Zhiruo didn't say anything, it didn't mean that others didn't say anything either.

The young man was probably afraid that Zhou Zhiruo would not believe him, so he kept talking about their family's affairs along the way.

It turned out that the young man was named Gu Jian. His father, Gu Yi, was a very powerful swordsmith, but Gu Yi loved to drink. One night five years ago, he got drunk and insisted on running to make swords, but he accidentally hit him. Putting the sword on the stand, the sword on it fell down and pierced Gu Yi's right wrist. Since then, his right hand can no longer be used, unable to forge swords, but he has become more and more fond of drinking. The sword hit and cursed.

Gu Jian seemed to admire his father very much, and when he talked about these things, he was full of regrets.

Zhou Zhiruo said, "Your father is a coward."

Gu Jian seemed to be stunned for a moment, then suddenly dropped the rein and said angrily: "That's not it!"

Zhou Zhiruo sneered coldly, and said in a low voice: "There is no unparalleled road. If you can't use your right hand, you still have your left hand. But your father is obsessed with failure and regret, and spends all day drinking to paralyze himself. Isn't such a cowardly person? Five In a few years, I'm afraid he can no longer hold a hammer in his left hand."

The boy was suddenly silent, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Zhiruo felt very bored: "You said your family made swords, but I don't think your father can make the sword I want, so leave."

"Wait." Gu Jian suddenly pulled the rein again, "I didn't say to ask my father to forge a sword for you."

Zhou Zhiruo looked at Gu Jian coldly, Gu Jian swallowed involuntarily, and then seemed to feel that he was too cowardly, so he straightened his back and said loudly: "Yes, I can make a sword for you. What's the matter? Look down on me, let me tell you, my sword casting skills are good, don't underestimate me!"

Gu Jian lacked the confidence to speak, and his sword casting skills should not be much better, but since he had the courage, Zhou Zhiruo also planned to give him this opportunity.

Gu Jian's house is far away from the crowds of the town, hidden at the foot of a mountain, when he opened the door, there was a large sword casting workshop inside, but it seemed that the furnace hadn't been opened for a long time, and there were three rooms further inside, Gu Jian pointed to The room on the far left said: "My father lives there. The one next to him is my room, and the one on the far right is for you. It takes a lot of time to make a sword."

Zhou Zhiruo was noncommittal, saw a set of stone tables and benches in front of Jianjianfang, so she walked over and sat down, Gu Jian hurriedly poured her a glass of water, but it was cold.

He also knew that this was not good for him, so he blushed in embarrassment.

Zhou Zhiruo glanced at the cup, it was still clean, so she drank it without thinking.

Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo didn't dislike her, Gu Jian heaved a sigh of relief.In fact, his family's situation is not good. He spent all his savings on treating his father's hand before, and his father loves to drink. The daily drinking money is not small. He copies books for others every day and can't even barely support the family.

"Miss Zhou, there is something... I want to make it clear to you." Gu Jian suddenly hesitated.

Zhou Zhiruo looked up at him and said, "You want to tell me that you have never forged a sword before."

"How do you know?" Gu Jian widened his eyes, looking at Zhou Zhiruo in disbelief.

Zhou Zhiruo felt that Gu Jian was really innocent. The sword-forging furnace in his house hadn't been turned on for a long time, and he looked like a thin scholar. How could he swing the sword-forging hammer?
You know, casting a sword is a labor-intensive and long-term job.

"But it's not never. I learned from my father when I was young, and I also made a few small things. Just wait, I'll show you." After speaking, Gu Jian ran back to the house and took out a package. , he opened it in front of Zhou Zhiruo, and a pair of short swords lay inside.

The shape of the daggers is very unique, the hilt is longer than ordinary daggers, and the blade is also slender than ordinary daggers. The sword is facing upwards, like a bird. Under the sunlight, his body shone with a faint blue light, and the blade was sharp, giving off a hint of coldness.

The other short sword was similar in shape to this one, but the blade was shining with a little red light, and the feeling of holding it in the hand didn't seem to be as cold as the previous one, but rather warm. human feeling.

Gu Jiandao: "These two short swords are a pair, one yin and one yang, and it took about five years. Look at the blue on the body of this sword. It's peacock blue. I spent a lot of time on it. It took a long time to make it, and this red, it is not pure red, it is goose crown red, which is deeper than ordinary red, and it looks warmer... Also, do you know what materials are used for these short swords Is it?...It took me two years to collect these materials...Also, I hoped that the two short swords could sense each other, but unfortunately it didn't after the sword was made...But I only succeeded in casting I have made this pair of short swords, but I have never succeeded in other ones. My father said that I would always think about making useless things. This pair of short swords looks sharp, but in fact they are very fragile. I tried it before. , it is easy to have a gap when it comes into contact with other weapons, and I filled it up later, and you can still see it if you look carefully."

Zhou Zhiruo took a closer look and found that there was a thin and small mark in the center of the blade of the sword that was shining with blue light.

Maybe Gu Jian is really like what his father said, he is unconstrained in sword making, but his idea is so novel that she couldn't help but be moved.

Zhou Zhiruo put the wooden box on the stone table, Gu Jian felt the chill inside the wooden box before opening it, and after Zhou Zhiruo opened it, he felt the chill was so severe that it made people tremble uncontrollably, only to find that the sword was broken when he looked again.

So it just looks like a bluff, but it's actually useless.

But Gu Jian couldn't say it out, so he pretended to pick up the broken sword and asked, "What kind of sword is this?"

"Yi Tian Sword."

"Yitian Sword!" Gu Jian stood up abruptly, his eyes seemed to pop out, "This, this is actually Yitian Sword?!" Gu Jian raised his voice involuntarily, his tone full of shock.

"My dear, Yitianjian!" Gu Jian couldn't help touching Yitianjian, his eyes seemed to be glued to it.

Suddenly he reacted and looked at the broken knife in the box: "Then this knife...couldn't be...a dragon-slaying knife?"

"Exactly."

"It's really true!" Gu Jian seemed to have received a lot of shock in his heart, and was speechless in a daze.

Be good, Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber, this is the most precious treasure in the world, how lucky he is to be able to witness the appearance of two treasures at the same time today!
"What dragon-slaying knife? Have you brought back the wine, kid?" Suddenly an old and hoarse voice came, and Zhou Zhiruo looked up, just in time to see Gu Jian's father walking out of the room.

"Father, I..." Gu Jian was a little afraid of his father, he hesitated and didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, Zhou Zhiruo remained calm and unaffected at all.

Gu Yi looked at the extra girl who came out of the yard, and saw that she was dressed in plain clothes, she was young but attractive, she was not an ordinary person.

"Mr. Gu, I'm here to help me recast the sword. I may have disturbed you these few days, please forgive me." Zhou Zhiruo spoke politely, but she didn't get up. Gu Yi didn't care about it, he only cared about himself Gu Jian couldn't get out the wine, so he lost his temper a lot, swearing at the world, and finally went back to the room to lie down when he was tired of cursing.

Gu Jian looked at Zhou Zhiruo and felt a little embarrassed, but Zhou Zhiruo didn't seem to care. She asked Gu Jian to sit down and told him her request.

The Yitian sword only needs to connect the broken parts. As for the dragon sword, she wants to recast it into a pair of male and female swords.

However, Gu Jian's eyes lit up when he heard the male and female swords, obviously thinking of his pair of daggers.

Zhou Zhiruo learned in her previous life that when Yang Guo and his wife used the Jade Girl Suxin swordsmanship, there would be a connection between each other, so she thought, if there is a connection between people, how about swords and people, swords and swords?
There should be some Gentleman's Sword and Lady's Sword, but they don't seem to be so obvious, and more lies in their sharpness.

So ever since she thought of casting male and female swords, she had such an idea, but she knew that it was too difficult to realize these ideas, so she could continue to rely on the sky and recast a pair of sharp swords, but it happened to her before The swordsmiths she was looking for couldn't even rely on the Heavenly Sword again and again, so she happened to meet Gu Jian.
