Ancient Kendo

Chapter 3
Yuannan City is a city under the governance of Zhennan County, one of the seven counties of the Great Chu Dynasty.

The transportation in Yuannan City extends in all directions, the economy is rich, and the people are happy and prosperous. It is a very prosperous city.From the south of the city to the north of the city, it takes five or six hours for ordinary people to walk.

Walking on the street, Chu Feng looked at the surrounding scene casually.All kinds of shops opened their doors, and hawkers filled the aisles. Hehe, most of the passers-by were dressed in brocade and satin, which showed the richness of Yuannan City.

"Yuannan City." Chu Feng laughed at himself, "I'm afraid this is the first time I've gone shopping in such a leisurely way."

In his last life, he was bullied by others, so how could he have the leisure to go shopping.Later, he got the inheritance of swordsmanship, practiced hard for several years, and after destroying the Chu family, he left Yuannan Town and never came back.

After all, Chu Feng has lived in Yuannan Town for more than 20 years, so he still knows everything about it.Zhennan County is a martial artist, and ordinary people can also learn one and a half moves.Therefore, there are many blacksmith shops for making weapons.

"Yuan's blacksmith shop."

Chu Feng looked up at the plaque, with a smile on his face, and finally found a suitable one.Most of the shops in Yuannan Town are in the hands of the three aristocratic families, and a few are privately owned.

Chu Feng's cultivation base has now reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, which is equivalent to the strength of a warrior's Internal Skill Realm.This strength is strong enough in Yuannan Town, but it is not at the top level.He didn't want to reveal too many secrets before reaching the top.

Walking into the shop, I heard the sound of beating, clanging, and wind coming from the backyard.At the same time, a gust of hot air poured into the store along the door.

In the storefront, there are all kinds of weapons, including swords, guns and halberds, and even some strange weapons.Such as hook sickle, iron whip, gravel beads and so on.

"Young master, what do you want?" The shopkeeper came over.

"I want a sword." Chu Feng said.

"Sword?" The shopkeeper smiled, "Our sword-making technology ranks among the top ones in Yuannan City. You will never choose the wrong one."

Immediately, the shopkeeper brought Chu Feng to a corner of the blacksmith shop, on which were placed various swords.Long sword, short sword, broadsword, epee, soft sword, single-edged sword and so on.

"Which kind of sword is your master used to? Long sword, broad sword, heavy sword, the small shop has them. If you have special requirements, the small shop can meet them." The shopkeeper smiled.

Chu Feng swept over the iron swords and frowned.These swords can only be regarded as ordinary, even if they are named as the treasure of the town store, they are nothing but high-quality fine iron swords, which are incomparable to the flying swords used by immortal cultivators.The flying swords of immortal cultivators are at least refined iron swords, most of which are forged from special metals, which are extremely sharp and can split mountains and rocks.

"Shopkeeper." Chu Feng said, "Can I forge a sword myself?"

"Huh?!" The shopkeeper frowned, the smithy didn't have this rule.After all, letting others make weapons in their own blacksmith shop is not in line with the rules of opening a shop.

"Shopkeeper." Chu Feng smiled, "I am Chu Feng, the young master of the Chu family. Due to some personal reasons, I want to forge a sword myself. If the storekeeper does not believe my identity, you can go to the Chu family to check. Afterwards, there will be a heavy reward."

"The Chu family?!"

The store owner was shocked, the Chu family, this is a big family in Yuannan City, it is not something that a small family like him can compare with.However, the young master of the Chu family has his own blacksmith shop of the Chu family that can forge weapons, which is much better than his small shop, which makes him a little suspicious.However, he didn't dare to ask casually, after all, the young master of the Chu family was offended, and his small shop was closed.

"It turned out to be the young master of the Chu family." The shopkeeper put on a smiling face, "Of course there is no problem for the young master of the Chu family to forge weapons himself. Please follow me."

"I would rather make a mistake than reject it."

This is the store's principle, if it is fake, it is just for him to forge weapons, there is no loss.If it is true, he has made friends with the young master of the Chu family, and his business will be taken care of in the future.

Chu Feng followed the store into the backyard. There was a huge bellows in the backyard, and a big man with his upper body pulled the bellows.On the other side, a big man with a bronze-colored thick arm was beating the weapon. Judging from its appearance, it was a long sword.Not far away, there is a boy who looks like a schoolboy, chopping firewood.

"Master Yuan, this is the young master of the Chu family. He wishes to forge a sword by himself," the shopkeeper said directly.He knew Master Yuan's character and was extremely arrogant, so he named Chu Feng's identity to avoid embarrassment.

"Young master of the Chu family?" Yuan Qiang frowned, and said immediately, "Okay, this sword has just been forged, I wonder if young master Chu can use this piece of iron?"

Chu Feng glanced at the thick iron. It was ordinary iron, but it was bigger than a weapon. It was obviously to be forged into an epee or a broadsword.

"Yes." Chu Feng nodded, walked over, took the hammer with his hand, and shouted at the big man pulling the bellows, "Intensify the fire for me, the bigger the better."

The big man pulling the bellows was stunned, and then he saw the storekeeper's eyes indicating that he pulled up the bellows, whirring and whirring.

boom.

The flames sprang up quickly, showing a ferocious posture like a fire snake, and the scorching temperature spread, making the backyard even hotter, like the scorching heat of July.

Chu Feng smiled, picked up the hammer, and slammed it down with a hammer, clang, and the sound of gold and iron resounded.With a twist of the wrist, another hammer came down, crisp and loud.

The hammer fell faster and faster, one hammer after another, each time it hit the unformed iron sword heavily, sparks flew, but the iron sword remained motionless, firmly caught by Chu Feng.

Yuan Qiang, who was watching the joke on the side, was stunned. Chu Feng's sword casting skills were much superior to his, and he could not compare to this method of hammering iron alone.How could he know that as a cultivator, weapon refining is just a basic method, and refining a mortal weapon is just a piece of cake.

"Master Yuan." The shopkeeper said softly.

Yuan Qiang came back to his senses and exclaimed: "It's so powerful, this tempering method is much more advanced than Master Wang's tempering method. You see, the changes of his gestures are precisely controlled every time. And forging swords The fire should be fierce and soft, for him, the fire is just to shorten the forging time, it's too powerful."

After all, the store is a blacksmith shop, and you can see a little bit of auspiciousness after looking at it for a long time.

In half an hour, Chu Feng forged the first sword, which was thinner than ordinary long swords, and it shone brightly and filled with coldness.It is a high-quality sword, much better than the store's treasure.There was no suitable hilt, so Chu Feng grabbed a piece of white cloth and wrapped it, which became the hilt.

"Shopkeeper, I didn't bring any money today." Chu Feng said, "Why don't I make another sword for you as a deposit, how about making up the remaining money in a few days?"

"Okay." Yuan Qiang agreed before the shopkeeper could reply.It is of great benefit to him to be able to see such a superb sword-making technique.

Later, Chu Feng forged another sword, which took even less time.The sword that was cast was naturally not bad.

"The sword is ready, go find Sister Qing."

After getting the sword, Chu Feng was in a good mood and left the blacksmith shop.

……

On the street of Yuannan City, a pair of beautiful girls came.The older one is only about 20 years old and wears a long red dress.The younger ones are also sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing long yellow clothes.

"Senior Sister, don't waste your efforts, this is just a small shop, what good sword can there be?" the girl in yellow said.

"Anyway, I have visited so many houses, so let's go in and take a look." The girl in the red skirt smiled lightly, "It will be the master's birthday in a few days, so we naturally want to give him a good sword."

"Isn't the Autumn Water Sword in Master's hand pretty good?" the girl in yellow muttered.

"You girl." The girl in the red skirt said, "Master is addicted to swords, and the sword hidden in the sword pavilion is more than just the Qiushui sword. But the master is still looking for swords everywhere, which shows that the master likes swords, especially swords. As a master His disciple, naturally wants to make the old man happy."

"Okay, what Senior Sister said is that Yan'er knew she was wrong." The girl in yellow said coquettishly, "But this small shop probably doesn't have any good things."

"It's all here, let's go in and take a look." The girl in the red dress said.

The two walked into Yuan's blacksmith shop side by side.

"What do the two ladies need?" The shopkeeper walked over with a smile on his face.

"Shopkeeper, show us your best sword." The girl in yellow said.

"Okay, two ladies, come and have a look." The shopkeeper brought the two girls to the corner where the swords were placed, but the treasure hanging on the wall was replaced by a sword that Chu Feng had forged earlier.

"Shopkeeper, show me the treasure of the store." The girl in the red skirt was attracted by the long sword refined by Chu Feng.

"Okay." The shopkeeper took it down and said, "Miss' eyes are really vicious. This Tingfeng Sword is the treasure of our store. In the entire Yuannan City, there is no one that can compare to this Tingfeng Sword."

"That's true." The girl in the red dress was surprised, "It's just a piece of ordinary source iron that can create such a magic weapon. It's really an amazing sword-making technique."

"Miss really knows the goods." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Senior sister, it's really as good as you said." The girl in yellow said puzzled, "In my opinion, it's not as good as Qiu Shuijian."

"No, this Tingfeng sword is better than the master's Qiushui sword." The girl in the red skirt said, "However, what surprised me the most is the sword casting technique. The Qiushui sword itself is made of black iron. It is very important to become a famous sword It's normal. This Tingfeng sword is just ordinary source iron, but it can forge a Tingfeng sword that is better than Qiushui sword. This sword-making technique is really amazing."

"Shopkeeper." The girl in the red skirt looked at the storekeeper, "Who made this Tingfeng Sword, I want to ask him to make a sword for me."

"This." The shopkeeper hesitated.

"This is not made by your shop." The girl in the red dress said.

"No." The shopkeeper said.

"Shopkeeper." The girl in the red dress smiled, took out an ingot of gold, and said. "As long as you tell me who made it, this ingot is yours."

"Gold." The shopkeeper took the gold quickly, and said with a smile like a chrysanthemum, "This was made by Chu Feng, the young master of the Chu family."

"Chu Family, Chu Feng."

The girl in the red skirt murmured in a low voice.
