Heaven's Secret

Time flies, ten years later...

Muming County, within the town of Dry Bones.

"Ding ding ding..." the voice came from an old house in disrepair

Looking up slightly, five dilapidated lacquered gold characters can be vaguely seen on the plaque at the door:

"Su's Foundry"

Smelling the scent of burning pine magic wood, I took a closer look.

Two lonely figures are located in the center of this dilapidated and empty foundry!

Looking closely, there is a middle-aged man and a young man.

The boy's name was Su Sheng, and he was the baby adopted by the chief of the Su clan more than ten years ago.

At this moment, he was holding a big hammer weighing several tens of kilograms in his forehand, beating a scarlet sword embryo with a 'ding ding ding'.

The appearance of a young man, although he looks a little thin.But that face with sharp water chestnut angles, against the background of the fire, was suffused with bronze color, but it gave people a sense of firmness and stability.

The middle-aged man standing at the side was Su Sheng's adoptive father, Su Hou, the former head of the Su clan.

It's just that Su Hou's current appearance, compared to the high-spirited and vigorous ten years ago, looks much older, with deeply wrinkled brows and gray hair.

It turned out that how the head of a tribe of ten thousand people brought his adopted son to live in this dilapidated foundry is quite puzzling...

"Ding ding ding" the hammer sounded three times, but it stopped abruptly.

The boy stopped swinging the sledgehammer, raised his head slightly, and looked towards the door with a pair of smart eyes on his face covered in furnace smoke. A trace of joy appeared on his originally resolute face. meaning.

"Father, it seems that a visitor is coming!" The boy's slightly hoarse, smoky voice sounded in the workshop.

"Oh, I'm here for business. It seems that I can finally open today. You are more flexible, so you should deal with it." Su Hou, who had a dark face, was overjoyed when he heard the words, and looked towards the door.

It didn't take long before I heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

"Okay!" Su Sheng nodded, put down the hammer in his hand, wiped his face again, and then walked towards the door.

Just as he reached the door, he saw a young man in yellow robe holding a long sword, and stepped into the workshop.

"Is the master here?" The yellow-robed youth glanced at the situation in the workshop, and asked with a frown.

When he saw the dilapidated scene in the workshop, he couldn't help but regret coming here!

Looking at the dilapidated appearance here, you know that it belongs to that kind of place, and basically no one wants to patronize it. If you think about the craftsmanship of cast iron, it should not be very good!

But since he came in, he couldn't retreat immediately, so he had to bite the bullet and ask first.

"My lord, are you building weapons? Or are you repairing weapons?" The young man Su Sheng immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

Over the years, Su Sheng has dealt with all kinds of people, so he doesn't care about the displeased expression of the young man in yellow.

In fact, before there was a person who came in and immediately retreated.

"you......?"

The young man in yellow gave Su Sheng a flirtatious look. He could feel that the latter didn't even have a little bit of cultivation, and he was at the eighth level of Ziling, so he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous.

The sub-spiritual stage is divided into one to nine levels, which is the first stage of a practitioner, and it can be called the foundation-building stage.

Generally speaking, the most ordinary people should reach the first level of Ziling when they are about ten years old, and they should have reached the second or third level of Ziling when they are fifteen or sixteen years old.

From the perspective of the young man in yellow, Su Sheng's slightly mature bronze face looked like he might be about 20 years old, but he didn't even have a first-level cultivation of Ziling. No wonder he was contemptuous.

In fact, Su Sheng was only about 15 years old when he danced with spoons. It was mainly because he was smoked by the fire all the year round and his face was full of smoke and dust, so he appeared a little mature.

"Boy, tell the owner of the workshop to come out and talk!" The young man in yellow looked directly at Su Hou in the workshop as he spoke, and seemed indifferent to the young man in front of him.

In his opinion, with Su Sheng's talent, it must be scary to work here as a handyman. He insisted on his status and didn't want to waste too much time with a handyman.

Facing the impatient look of the young man in yellow, Su Sheng was not impatient at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Hey, my lord, I don't know, I am the little master of this foundry!"

"Yesterday, the old owner of the workshop has passed on to me. Although there is no official Haowen, and there is no one below, Xiaosheng is indeed the little workshop owner here."

Su Hou on the side couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he heard Su Sheng's nonsense about passing on the throne.

In this foundry, to put it bluntly, there are only the father and son, and it is reasonable for him to call himself a small workshop owner.

As for what he said about passing the position yesterday, it was completely nonsense from him.

And the young man in yellow also laughed after hearing Su Sheng's words, and he was also amused by Su Sheng's self-deprecating words.

"Haha, it's funny what you say!" Although there was still some contempt, the expression on the face of the young man in yellow was a little better than before.

"However, this sword of mine was made by a top-level forge master, so I'd rather let you masters do it."

The corners of the mouth of the young man in yellow raised, appearing quite complacent, and the sword he was holding in his hand also came out of its sheath with a 'clang' sound.

All I saw was a flash of light, and the next moment, the entire interior of the foundry was shrouded in the chill emanating from the sword.

The foundry, which was originally hot, seemed to be blown by a sudden cold wind, which immediately made people's hairs stand on end.

"What a fine cold sword!"

Su Sheng, who had a hippie smile on his face, also put away his smile at this time, and his bright eyes like a falcon stared closely at the sword in the hand of the young man in yellow.

Su Sheng's current appearance, compared to before, seemed to be a completely different person.

Even Su Hou, who had been turning his back to this side, felt the chill of the sword and turned his head to look at it, but he didn't come over and let Su Sheng continue to deal with it.

"Oh, can you see how extraordinary this sword is?" The young man in yellow also noticed Su Sheng's sudden change of expression, and he couldn't help feeling a little proud, and at the same time nodded slightly

"Know a thing or two!" Su Sheng subconsciously nodded

He followed Su Hou to cast iron since he was a child, and it has been nearly ten years since he started swinging the hammer at the age of five.Therefore, he just took a look at the weapon in the hands of the young man in yellow, and he knew a general idea.

"My lord, this sword is green and bright, gathering the cold air and never dissipating it. If my guess is correct, the sword body is made of fine gold and iron, quenched by the 'Mingyin Water' of the Hanming River."

Based on his own judgment, Su Sheng recounted the origin of the sword, as if the sword came from his hand.

Hanming River, like Kugu Town, is also located in Muming County.

Speaking of the Hanming River, there is a very strange characteristic. Even in midsummer, the surface of the Hanming River is covered with thick ice. This dark water.

However, although this Mingyin water is cold to the bone, it is a very good quenching material. As long as it is quenched with Mingyin water, it will have a special chill.

It was from this unique chill that Su Sheng recognized the origin of this sword.

"My lord, I wonder if what Xiaosheng said is right?" Su Sheng also looked at the young man in yellow at this moment.

The young man in yellow also nodded subconsciously when he heard the words, but he was quite surprised in his heart.

Regarding the origin of this sword, he himself had heard people talk about it, but what he did not expect was that this seemingly ordinary young man in front of him could tell the origin of this sword without a doubt just by looking at it. Difference.

When the young man in yellow looked at Su Sheng in front of him again, he felt a little puzzled in his heart and said, "This young man is so strange, does he really have no cultivation at all? But this kind of vision is not something ordinary people possess!"

However, after he felt it carefully, he finally confirmed the fact that Su Sheng had no cultivation.In the heart of the young man in yellow, the desire to make friends that had arisen was also let go.

The young man in yellow didn't want to have too much contact with a person who didn't have a trace of cultivation.

"Your surname?"

Su Sheng, who was on the opposite side, didn't know what the young man in yellow was thinking, but wanted to strike while the iron was hot and get closer to this customer.

"Li, etiquette!" The attitude of the young man in yellow was a little more polite than before.

"It turned out to be Mr. Li. I think Mr. Li came this time because of the sword in his hand." Su Sheng continued to ask with a smile.

Seeing the other party nodded, Su Sheng continued, "Young Master Li, I wonder if you can lend me a look at the sword in your hand first."

"Okay." The young man in yellow clothes surnamed Li nodded his head, and held his sword in both hands solemnly.

For Su Sheng who could see the origin of this sword at a glance, Mr. Li also put aside his contempt for the time being.

"These gaps on the blade are all left when hunting demons. I wonder if they can be repaired?" Young Master Li also asked casually.

Although he recognized Su Sheng's vision, Su Sheng was still too young after all, and he didn't even have a trace of cultivation. There were still doubts in the heart of the young man surnamed Li.

Hearing this, Su Sheng also carefully looked at the position of the blade, there were indeed gaps left by several demon palms.

While paying attention to the scars on the sword, Su Sheng's hand naturally passed over the sword, and at the same time, a very slight invisible wave also passed over the sword.

And just after Su Sheng's hand caressed the blade, his brows suddenly frowned.

"Mr. Li, to be honest, these gaps are actually not the most serious problem." Su Sheng said seriously, frowning.

After a short pause, he turned the blade over, and with an invisible wave, Su Sheng's hand stroked the blade again.

After confirming what he had observed, Su Sheng went on to say, "The more serious problem is actually inside the sword body. Although the sword body looks intact, it is actually broken inside. You came here at the right time. It happens to be able to be recast once, if it is not completely repaired, I am afraid that the sword may be shattered when you hunt demons next time."

"Even if you are a little careless, you may be in danger of being destroyed by the sword." Su Sheng said again, his tone becoming a bit more dignified

When hunting demons, death due to weapons being destroyed does often happen.

What's more, it occasionally happened that a mercenary group was completely wiped out because of a problem with the weapon.

Hearing Su Sheng's words, the face of Mr. Li on the opposite side suddenly changed drastically.

"Is this true?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, doubts arose in Mr. Li's heart.

"I've been using this sword all the time, and I haven't felt any problems. Just last time, I used this sword to kill a first-level demon mouse!"

Moreover, just before coming to Su's Foundry, he took this sword and went to find another forge, but the other did not mention the internal collapse of the sword that Su Sheng mentioned.It's just that the casting master turned down his commission because he was too busy, so he came here.

Thinking of this, Mr. Li turned his scrutiny to Su Sheng who had no cultivation in front of him.

When he suddenly realized that standing in front of him was just a young man with no cultivation, he suddenly thought of something, and a deep smile appeared on his face.

"This little Fangzhu, if it is just to repair the gap, how much will it cost? If it is to recast the sword body, how much will it cost?" Mr. Li asked with a half-smile, and the contempt that had weakened before gradually became stronger on his face. stand up.

Although Su Sheng could tell that Mr. Li had something to say, he still told the truth, "As far as the quality of Mr. Master's sword is concerned, the former only needs a few dozen gold coins, while the latter... probably costs nearly a thousand."

"Haha, recast once...thousands of gold coins...so that's the case, haha!" Mr. Li laughed wildly, but the laughter sounded harsh.

Thousands of gold coins, for ordinary people, is not a small amount of income, and it is equivalent to the income of Su's Foundry for more than half a year.

Seeing this, Su Sheng also understood that Mr. Li might be thinking wrong, so he had to change his way of saying, "If Mr. Li is unwilling to repair the problems inside the sword body, you can just repair the gap. But you might as well buy an extra sword. in case for need."

The foundry's business is slow now, and Su Sheng is not willing to give up the business just like that.

"Buy another one! Haha...!" Hearing what Su Sheng said, Mr. Li laughed even louder.

"No wonder your foundry is in such a dilapidated state. It turns out that this is a black shop!" Mr. Li satirized unceremoniously this time, and looked at Su Sheng with disdain.

"Hmph!" After letting out a cold snort, Mr. Li turned around and left without looking back.

He didn't want to stay here any longer, and he wouldn't even repair the blade here anymore.

Looking at the young man in yellow who had already left the house, the young man's originally bright eyes dimmed a lot in an instant, and he shook his head helplessly, looking very disappointed.

But after thinking about it, Su Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and loudly reminded the departing Mr. Li, "Mr. Li, you might as well bring an extra sword for self-defense. Money matters less than life."

"Hmph!" Another cold snort came from a distance, obviously disdainful of Su Sheng's words.

"Hey, I was taken as a liar again." Su Sheng also shook his head with a wry smile at this time, walked back to the casting platform, and picked up his hammer again.

"Who told you to talk too much, brat! Even I can't see those problems. I'm afraid the casters in Dry Bones Town can't see them. Only you can see them. It's no wonder he believes you."

Su Hou, who had been silent all this time, also spoke at this time, but his tone seemed to be reproachful, but actually there was a bit of relief.

"In the future, do whatever the other party asks you to do, don't worry about anything else!" Su Hou added helplessly

"Ding ding ding..." But what answered him was the young man's cast iron voice who was so focused that he ignored everything around him.

Seeing this, Su Hou also shook his head, and continued to bury his head in his own affairs, continuing to wait for the business to come.
