Supreme Golden Eyes - Chapter 065 Ancestors of the Ou family

Turning around, I saw a seven or eight-year-old girl poking her head out from the northernmost wing room on the west side, staring at a pair of big black eyes, scanning around the yard, seeing Ling Shaonan and Wei Shaoming After seeing the stranger, he was obviously stunned for a moment, his eyes showed curiosity, and when he saw Ou Jiang's figure, he turned into surprise again, opened the door and ran out of it.

"Brother Oujiang, why are you free to come to our house today?" Holding Oujiang's leg, the little girl raised her head and asked crisply, obviously happy for the tourists to play with her.

"Chuanyu, why didn't you go to school today? My brother is here to find your grandfather." Ou Jiang patted the little girl on the head, and then explained to Ling Shaonan and Wei Shaoming: "Chuanyu is the third grandpa." The second uncle's daughter, Chuanming who is studying with the third grandfather is the son of the uncle's family."

"Our teacher has something to do today and it's a holiday! Brother Oujiang, let me tell you, grandpa is teaching my brother how to forge iron again. My brother is so pitiful. He doesn't even want to learn it. Grandpa forced him to learn!" The little girl's lovely words The three of Ling Shaonan couldn't help but smile, and Oujiang laughed even more: "Haha, you little girl! Well, go and play by yourself, these two big brothers and I have something to do with your grandpa!"

"Oh, brother Oujiang, go quickly, you can find grandpa, then brother can play with me!" After finishing speaking, the little girl became excited, and ran to the door of the jingling room Outside, he slapped the door and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, grandpa, come out quickly, brother Oujiang is here to find you, and he brought two brothers!"

The cute look of the little girl made Ling Shaonan see Dale, and he stepped forward and took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it over: "Little sister, this is a gift from brother, take it and eat it." This is their morning chocolate. I bought it for breakfast, Ling Shaonan didn't like chocolate very much, so I kept it in my pocket all the time, and now I just gave it away.

"Thank you, big brother!" The little girl had obviously never seen chocolate before, and was immediately attracted by the exquisite packaging. She turned her head to look at Ou Jiang pitifully, saw him nodding, and immediately took it, saying sweetly Thanks.

"You're welcome!"

Just as he was talking, the sound of blacksmithing stopped suddenly, and then, with the sound of "squeak", the door of the wing room was opened, and an old man who seemed to be in his early 60s and a boy who was about fifteen or sixteen years old It appeared in the sight of Ling Shaonan and Wei Shaoming.

"Third Grandpa, these two little brothers are from other places. They want to ask you something!" This old man is the "Third Grandfather" in Ou Jiangkou, the village chief of Oujia Village, and the half-sized The son is self-explanatory, it should be the "Ou Chuanming" in Ou Jiangkou.

For the elderly, Ling Shaonan and Wei Shaoming have always been more respectful, so when they heard Ou Jiang introduce themselves, the two immediately took two steps forward, nodded politely and said hello: "This is Mr. Ou, right?" ? I took the liberty to disturb you, but I hope you will forgive me!"

"You two are welcome, it's too messy here, let's talk in the main room! Chuanming, go pour water for the guests!" Ou Zhentang has a typical image of an old farmer, with a simple and honest smile on his face all the time. Because he came out of the room, he was only wearing a thin undershirt, and he could clearly see the knotted muscles of his arms and upper body. If it wasn't for his half-white hair, no one would think that he was already a An old man over sixty years old.

Several people sat down in the living room of the main room, and when Ou Zhentang, who put on his coat, came out of the back room, and after exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Ling Shaonan straight to the point and stated his reason for coming: "Mr. Ou, it's like this, our brothers The two seemed to order a batch of long knives, but they couldn't find any satisfactory ones after traveling all over Longquan City. Later, I heard an old gentleman say by chance that there was a general in the Ming Dynasty from the ancestors of Guicun, who once made it for General Qi Jiguang. I bought a lot of swords, so I took the liberty to visit. You see..."

After all, Ling Shaonan looked at Ou Zhentang expectantly, waiting for his answer.A batch of high-quality swords is too important to him, and it can more than double the combat effectiveness of Du Xi and others.Therefore, even though he had a strong ability to control his emotions, Ling Shaonan couldn't help becoming nervous.

"This..." Contrary to everyone's expectations, Ou Zhentang didn't directly say whether it can be built, but frowned slightly and pondered. Seeing this scene, Wei Shaoming couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Oujia Village can already be said to be theirs. The last hope, if Ou Zhentang gives a negative answer, they will probably have another setback.

However, Ling Shaonan was not as pessimistic as Wei Shaoming. Since Ou Zhentang didn't directly refuse, it meant that there was still hope, nothing more than certain conditions had to be met.And as long as these conditions are not too harsh, Ling Shaonan believes that he can do it with his own ability.

Therefore, when Ou Zhentang hadn't spoken for a few seconds, Ling Shaonan said directly: "If Mr. Ou has any difficulties, you may as well just say so, as long as I can, I will definitely do it for you!"

"Hey, this is not a matter of not being able to meet people. The two little brothers have come all the way to our remote mountainous area, which shows their sincerity. It doesn't matter if the old man tells you!" Ling Shaonan's words seemed Let Ou Zhentang make up his mind, and after a long sigh, he explained the whole story: "In fact, since our ancestors, our Ou family's sword-making skills have not been lost, and for hundreds of years, our Ou family's sword-making skills have never been lost. So no more swords have been made for outsiders, it is because of the ancestral training left by that ancestor!"

Not only Ling Shaonan and Wei Shaoming are outsiders, but even Ou Jiang, a native of the Oujia Village, doesn't know about this matter. Hearing that it involves ancestors hundreds of years ago, he immediately cheered up and carefully Listen up.

It turned out that the ancestor of the Ou family who joined the Qi family army was named Ou Taiwu, but he was not the first generation ancestor of the Ou family. The history of the Ou family can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty!

The Southern Song Dynasty was a weak dynasty in the history of China. Although the economy was developed, it was always in a passive situation when facing the barbaric nomads in the north.The Ou family has been passed down from that period.

The family name of the first generation ancestor of the Ou family is unknown, but according to the genealogy records of the Ou family, this ancestor was a fallen scribe at the time. But it did not disappear because of this, but decided to use other ways to serve the country.

Because firearms were just emerging at that time, they could not yet occupy a dominant position in the war, and more soldiers needed to fight with real swords and guns. After a long period of travel and thinking, the ancestor of the Ou family finally Decided to devote himself to the weapon casting industry, and settled in Longquan, worshiped a famous local swordsmith as a teacher, and began to learn the technology of sword casting. The surname "Ou" was also derived from the first character of the name "Ou Yezi" in order to express his determination.

The ancestor of the Ou family was a scholar himself, and he had traveled all over the world, so his knowledge and talents were far more extensive than others. After learning the crafts handed down from his master, he began to collect books from other places. It is hoped that they can be fused together to forge a truly peerless magic weapon, and contribute to the Southern Song Dynasty's final defeat of the enemy in the north.

It's just a pity that although this wish is beautiful, it is not so easy to realize, and the things until his death are still unfinished.

However, even if he failed to achieve it, the ancestor of the Ou family did not give up his ideal. Before he died, he called his son who had learned all his skills to his bedside, and solemnly told him to continue to move in this direction effort.

And his son did not live up to his expectations. He devoted his whole life to the creation of magical weapons, constantly researching and improving, which made the technology of Oujia weapons casting more and more advanced. Although the reputation is not obvious to the world, its quality But it undoubtedly represented the highest level in China at that time!

When the time came to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, after more than 300 years and the unremitting efforts of more than a dozen generations, the sword casting technology of the Ou family has also fully matured. With a part of the experience of swordsmith masters in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the unique technology created can be regarded as unique in the world!

So far, half of the wish of the ancestor of the Ou family has been fulfilled—his descendants have created the most advanced weapon casting technology in the world, while the other half, the last wish to save the fate of the Han nation, finally fell to his No.16 grandson— —Ou Taiwu's body!

Ou Taiwu, an outstanding figure in the history of the Ou family after the first generation of ancestors, was named a fifth-rank general of Wujie for his military achievements when General Qi Jiguang fought against the Japanese in the southeast!However, for the Ou family who used casting as a heirloom, if it was just an official position, it would not elevate his status to the level second only to his ancestors. The real reason for him to receive this honor is: Ou Taiwu not only completed Another part of the last wish even went a step further, creating a weapon that represents the pinnacle of the entire Ou family's casting technology!

That weapon is a Miao Dao. Although the Miao Dao first originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and was finally finalized in the hands of General Qi Jiguang, the most outstanding Miao Dao throughout the ages was forged by Ou Taiwu himself!Moreover, he was General Qi Jiguang's sword during the whole process of fighting against the Japanese in the southeast. It was not until he was ordered to be transferred to the north that he was brought back to the Ou family by Ou Taiwu when he left the southeast!
