Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 75 A fierce tiger?

Chongning County, Xisha Street.

This place is more like a back alley made of yellow mud than a street.

Li Qing couldn't even imagine how muddy the road would be if it rained here. Even the conditions in Cuishan Village in Xiaocuiling were not that simple. At least there were still pebbles on the road!
"When Master was young, he was also a temperamental man. He stormed into the Yamen angrily and severely injured the county magistrate."

"If Wu Lijun hadn't taken a fancy to his forging skills, I'm afraid he would have been killed by Queen Qiu!"

He heard these words from He Baosheng's mouth. Attacking a court official was a serious crime of beheading anywhere.

However, Master Gu was already somewhat famous at that time, and he forged a Nine-Dragon Ge, which was definitely considered a magic weapon.

It is a pity that the reputation has not yet been fully developed. At that time, the ancient masters could only be regarded as famous craftsmen, not yet divine craftsmen.

Nowadays, Jiulong Ge actually has quite a reputation in the world. Unfortunately, the whereabouts of its owner have been erratic. He has only appeared in the world a few times, and his reputation is far less than that of the Demon Sword Red Lotus and the Black Tortoise Spear.

After walking halfway through the alleys of Xisha Street, Li Qing finally found the place where the descendants of the ancient master lived.

It was a very dilapidated tile-roofed house, even the wooden door had many gaps.

I heard from He Baosheng that the descendants of Master Gu inherited his father's trade and also worked as a blacksmith in this street, but they could barely make ends meet.

"Is Master Gu Yu at home?"

Li Qing thought for a while and finally decided not to knock on the door with his hands. He always felt that the wooden door would fall down if he exerted even a little force.

Not long after, the wooden door creaked open, and an unkempt middle-aged man walked out of the house warily.

"I am, who are you? Are you here to forge iron?"

Before Li Qing could open his mouth to express his intention, a little cub like a mud monkey rushed out of the door, holding a branch and muttering something:

"Who is coming? Tell me your name, eh~"

As soon as Little Douding rushed out, he was shocked by the roar of a tiger.

"Ow!"

I saw a big dog-like tiger cub crawling at Li Qing's feet, grinning, and frightened the little Douding who was covered in mud.

Snapped!
Little Douding sat down on the ground, and the branch in his hand also fell down. Tears began to well up in his eyes, but he did not cry out. I can only say that he is worthy of being a descendant of the ancient master!

"You brat, get back here." Gu Yu looked at the tiger at Li Qing's feet with a look of shock on his face, and then kicked his baby back.

Li Qing also frowned and gave the tiger cub a kick, kicking it to an invisible place in the tatters beside the wall.

"I'm sorry, Master Gu. I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to get something from you." Li Qing thought for a while, but still did not directly express his intention. He wanted to observe how difficult the conditions of this family were.

As soon as he heard that there was business, Gu Yu immediately smiled on his face.

"It turns out I'm going to pack something. Please come in and invite me, sir. I wonder what you want to pack?"

Li Qing walked into the house, scanned around, and saw a handful of mining manuscripts placed in the corner. He said without thinking: "Let's get a pickaxe. It's probably as big as this." How long will it take?"

"Wait a moment, sir. I'll have it ready for you before dark."

With that said, Gu Yu rekindled the furnace and prepared to start forging.

Generally, the furnace in a blacksmith shop will basically maintain a high temperature all the time. From this point, it can be seen that the business of this Guyu is not generally bleak.

Seeing Master Gu's son standing still in a familiar but not standard posture, Li Qing nodded slightly.

There are indeed some shadows of the ancient Xuan Hammer Kung Fu, but the foundation is very poor and the posture is average. It seems that the ancient master failed to pass on all the martial arts to his son before he was taken to the Wu Li Army.

As for why Li Qing didn't leave the original knowledge of this martial arts to his son, he didn't know. Maybe he was worried about being remembered.

Thinking of this, Li Qing asked casually: "Aside from pickaxes, what else can you hit, and do you know how to use swords?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yu's face changed slightly, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, for some reasons, the government prohibits me from forging swords. If I am discovered, I will be severely punished."

"It's okay, I'm just asking casually." Li Qing nodded.

When the temperature of the furnace gradually rose, Gu Yu started forging.

Judging from Li Qing's current level of forging, such craftsmanship is naturally not worth mentioning. He can only be regarded as an ordinary craftsman and has not received the true inheritance of the ancient master.

Halfway through the forging, when the prototype of the pickaxe came out, a rogue voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Master Gu, the hoe you gave me last month didn't work. Look, it's loosened after just a few uses!" Following the words, a shirtless young man walked in and casually picked up a hoe. The hoe was left inside the door.

"How could this happen? If used normally, it wouldn't come loose so quickly." Gu Yu looked at the hoe on the ground.

The ruffian kicked the hoe with his foot, and saw that the interface between the wood and the hoe was indeed shaking.

"If you don't believe me, look at it. It's only been used a few times and it's already so loose. How can you hoe the soil? What a useless skill!"

"Because of your broken hoe, the farming season has been delayed. Please pay me twenty taels of silver!"

As soon as these words came out, blacksmith Gu Yu's face suddenly turned ugly. How could he not know that this land scoundrel was here just for money.

"Here, Feng Jin, wait a minute. I'll give you a new one without charging you any money. The compensation of two taels of silver is really too much. I only charged you for giving you a hoe in the first place. Two denarii.”

The land scoundrel named Feng Jin sneered, and he said, "Are we beating again? Now we've delayed the farm work, why do you still want to beat me for nothing? What if it becomes loose again?"

"The harvest in our fields this year is not good because of your hoe. You are going to pay for it. Get the money quickly or I will sue you!"

As soon as he heard about the government, Gu Yu's complexion became even uglier, and he was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

At this time, Li Qing bent down, picked up the loose hoe, stroked the blade on it, and whispered:
"This hoe should not be loose naturally. The blade was hit hard and there are obvious marks on it. The wooden handle at the joint was also shattered."

"Eighty percent of the time it was someone who deliberately used this hoe to hoe rocks or other hard objects, which resulted in the damage. If you want to pay compensation, you have to ask the person who broke the hoe to pay for it."

Hearing Li Qing's explanation, Gu Yu wiped his sweat and felt grateful in his eyes.

The local ruffian Feng Jin became anxious and said angrily: "Who the hell are you? This hoe is placed in my house every day. Who else could break it?"

"You mean I broke it myself?"

Li Qing didn't even look at him, he just threw the hoe over and said calmly: "I don't know about that. Anyway, the broken hoe has nothing to do with the blacksmith's skill."

"Okay, okay! Lao Gu, you still have someone to support you now, right? Just wait for me!"

The land scoundrel held a hoe and originally planned to teach Li Qing a lesson, but Li Qing was tall and strong, and he was obviously no match for him on his own, so he planned to go out and find some accomplices to come and make trouble.

However, before he could even step out of the door, a powerful tiger roar suddenly sounded:
"Ow!"

The tiger's majestic sound shook all directions, and even the walls seemed to tremble.

Feng Jin, the local scoundrel, was shocked by the tiger's roar, his face turned pale, his legs and feet were weak, and his body was trembling slightly.

The tiger cub rushed in. It shook its head, vaguely possessing the power of a tiger.

This time, Li Qing did not teach the tiger cub a lesson, but let it rub against his feet.

Feng Jin's eyes moved up from Li Qing's feet until he met Li Qing's cold eyes, and finally remembered a rumor from earlier today.

The gangsters outside the city were killed by a young man who brought a tiger into the city.

"hiss!"

Feng Jin took a sharp breath of air again, his heart became cold, and he said incoherently:
"You, you. You are the fierce tiger."

"You were the one who killed all the gangsters outside the city?"

Li Qing raised his eyebrows and was still thinking about the meaning of the fierce tiger. That Feng Jin knelt down directly:
"Uncle, please spare my life. I shouldn't have come here to extort money. I am too young to be blind!"

Kneel down so quickly!I have never seen such a coward!

Li Qing also wanted to laugh for a moment, but he still maintained a cold attitude and said: "Go away!"

Feng Jin didn't say anything, and immediately ran out in a hurry.

But when he turned around, Gu Yu's expression didn't look right either. He said with complicated eyes: "You are the fierce tiger that is rumored in the city to kill people like crazy."

Killing people like hemp?Tiger?

What a nickname!

Li Qing, who didn't like this nickname very much, turned a little dark, thinking that it was probably the escaped gangsters who had spread the word. At this moment, he wanted to talk to those people.

Why did you give him such an unpleasant nickname, and it sounded like a short-lived villain? What if someone accidentally gave him a nickname one day? !

　Something happened today, so this chapter is a bit late~
