Chapter 47 Furnace, Cats and Dogs
"This rare peaceful time, the caution and low-key these days, must have paid off."
For three consecutive days, Chen Yuan meditated at home, and everything was calm.
He took this opportunity to complete the second-turn mysterious body, re-sacrifice several Qi talismans, and refine a new talisman. He also repaired the Shinto Xiayi and further strengthened it. His combat power was restored to its peak, and he was still improving. .
"Limited by the qualifications of the mysterious body, without swallowing the pill of visualization and without considering the three opportunities to use the soul crystal, this is the peak of my combat power. Unless I can gather the treasures of the three talents as soon as possible, otherwise I will We can only work on magic weapons, spells, and external forces. Considering the recent arrest of the city god, we must take action as soon as we get the furnace to collect materials and refine magic weapons or Taoist vessels."
He thought of the boy he met outside the blacksmith shop. The boy mentioned that his sand gang had many things for sale, including gas-conducting steel, and perhaps other materials that could be used to refine weapons.
"However, the leader of the Sand Gang was probably called over by the City God. Trading with him may not be safe."
He had already learned from the bamboo spirit boy's mouth that the city god summoned the big families in the city, and he knew that the time he could stay in the city was getting shorter and shorter.
"In the cave world, Shinto is subject to many restrictions, especially in places with many people. People's thoughts are messy, complex and changeable. Therefore, the spirits of Shinto often do not like to show up easily, but mostly use the method of entrusting dreams. Although the gods here have It is a body of flesh and blood, but the divine position is also based on the idea of incense, which is probably the general situation. But on the other hand, in a large city with dense crowds, it is difficult for the gods to take action in the form of long-range magic. They have to come in their true form. Only then can the divine power be dispersed.”
After thinking about it, Chen Yuan stepped out. As for the bamboo growing on the door frame, he didn't mind it at all. He was used to it.
The Bamboo Spirit Boy is very mysterious. Although his words are off-topic, he is a good expert in getting information, and there is no harm in it, so he just lets it go.
"Sir, you came at the right time."
Old man Liu, the blacksmith, was sitting at the door chewing hemp leaves. When he saw Chen Yuan coming, he immediately became energetic.
"Thanks to you, it went very smoothly. It was completed much earlier than expected. It was completed this morning." He said with a smile, and then greeted Chen Yuan into the room.
Chen Yuan nodded, and the moment he entered, he glanced away and looked into the distance.
Relying on his mysterious instinct, he had already noticed that there were several sharp eyes staring at him.
"is it him?"
There are three people on the rooftop in the distance.
Two are sitting and one is standing.
There were two listless people sitting, their whole bodies wrapped up tightly. One of them was pointing in the direction of Chen Yuan and asking.
Standing there was a trembling young man. Hearing this, he nodded quickly and said, "That's the person! It's very suspicious! Please inform the Black King and let him come and take a look at this person."
"What kind of person is my king? How can I bother just anyone to come and see him in person?"
"I think this person is quite ordinary. He doesn't have much momentum, and he doesn't look very powerful. Lynx, you are proficient in recognizing people. Take a closer look."
"Don't worry, I'll keep it with you. By the way, do you remember this person's scent? Hound?"
"How can you smell it when he's so far away? When he leaves, go to the iron shop and look for it."
"Is it because he doesn't know how to cover up, or is he unscrupulous? The malice contained in this look is very strong. Having said that, if you can choose to monitor outside the blacksmith shop, it is probably related to the sand gang. Calculating the time, you can put a reward on the city god, which is quite sharp. of."
Thinking of the boy he met that day, Chen Yuan made a close guess.
"I didn't come to find you, but you came to plot against me."
At this time, Old Man Liu's two nephews came out carrying something.
The thing was about the size of a bucket, covered with linen, and the outline of a large incense burner could be vaguely seen.
"According to the guest officer's request, the thing was cast like this."
Old man Liu lifted the cloth, revealing the stove inside.
The furnace is completely black, and a layer of emerald green light can be seen on the surface, as if a thin layer of enamel is suspended on the furnace body. If you look carefully, you can also see blood-colored irregular patterns, and dots of golden light dots from time to time. Appearing everywhere, like stars.
There are several holes on the furnace cover, forming a hollow pattern. There are two horn handles on both sides of the furnace body, which are smooth and shiny.
Just one glance made Chen Yuan fall in love with him and he recognized the appearance of the furnace.
"Jiang Liu's craftsmanship is good." After praising him, he took out a piece of silver cake and slapped it on the table, "This is the reward."
"How dare you accept money? The smelting method in the blueprint is a priceless treasure, not to mention there are many skills..."
"This is to pay for the appearance of this furnace. You should get money for something that looks good." Chen Yuan held up the furnace with his right hand, turned around, and walked outside the store.
Erya at the door heard the noise and came out to watch the excitement. She felt a gust of wind blowing past her and the young guest officer disappeared. She couldn't help but exclaimed.
The two nephews looked surprised and were waiting to be questioned.
"What's so surprising?" Old Man Liu put a piece of hemp leaf in his mouth and chewed a mouthful. "Can the person who makes things with air-conducting steel be an ordinary person? I didn't want to take the money at first, just because I was afraid of getting into trouble. Just do your work, don’t ask about other things, and don’t be nosy and forget about today’s affairs.”
He picked up the silver cake from the table.
"No matter how nice you are, this thing is hot to hold!"
These words traveled with the wind and reached Chen Yuan's ears.
"I didn't expect that even the most powerful blacksmiths understand the truth, but some people who look smart don't understand it."
Putting the "hidden talisman" on his body, Chen Yuan, who had concealed his figure, held the furnace in his hand and walked slowly.
"This furnace is not big, but the brocade bag cannot hold it. I will see if there are usable materials in a few days. I will use the furnace to refine the brocade bag again and expand it."
As he walked, he suddenly jumped up and landed on a roof.
"It's really this kid. The Sha Gang is not honest."
The two tightly wrapped people and the Sha Gang servants are here.
The lynx stared at the distance and said, "I've been in the house for a long time, and I don't know what he is doing. This man looks thin and doesn't seem to be very powerful. Why don't we give it a try? If we can beat him, we can catch him and do a great deed. If we can't beat him, the king is nearby. What can he do to us?"
"Don't be nosy!" The hound reminded, "Even if it doesn't look good, since it is the king's prey, we shouldn't bite it!"
"You are really a loyal dog!"
The lynx and the hound said, and watched for a while. Seeing that Old Man Liu had come out to bask in the sun, and Chen Yuan didn't come out again, they finally got the taste!
"The man ran away!"
The lynx and his companions looked at each other.
"We have been watching him here, how did he run away? We didn't see him at all!"
"He may not be very capable, but he is good at running away! But since he ran away, he may have discovered us..."
The two demons looked at each other and said in unison: "There is something wrong with this man!"
"Go and smell it!" the lynx shouted.
The hound was straightforward, jumping off the roof and rushing straight to the blacksmith shop.
The servant of the Sha Gang saw this scene and was worried, so he said: "You two, I will tell the leader of the gang first."
"Go, don't get in the way here." The lynx waved his hand, thinking that he had found the target, and he was too lazy to ask more questions.
The servant climbed down quietly and ran towards the south of the city.
The lynx didn't take it seriously, but after a while, the hound looked around and returned to this area, then jumped up and said in a deep voice: "The man seemed to have passed this area, and then this smell..." He made a sniffing motion, "He went all the way to the south."
"South?" The lynx's eyes changed slightly.
The hound whispered: "This man is quite capable. For the sake of safety, we will not track him for now, but report to the king."
"That's right, we were sent out to get information!"
Soon, the two little demons entered a three-story courtyard with a plaque of "Heishui Villa" hanging on the gate.
Main hall
The Lord of Black Water, wearing a black velvet robe, sat with a big horse and a golden sword. When he saw the two people coming in, he asked, "How is it? Is it that person?"
The two lynxes took off their packages, revealing a cat head and a dog head. The two demons knelt on one knee and said, "That person is quite strange. He doesn't look very powerful, but he is good at hiding. However, our subordinates still found his traces. He should go to the south of the city..."
"Have you written down everything?" Lord of Black Water interrupted the two demons and asked.
The hound nodded quickly.
"Okay! When needed, hound, you will be the vanguard for me to find that person!" Lord of Black Water laughed, stood up, and walked out with big strides.
When the two lynx monsters saw him, they hurriedly asked, "My lord, where are you going?"
"Of course, tell Hao Mingyu that the person has been found! Let him take out the money!"
Lynx doubted, "But that person may not be the one you are looking for?"
"You killed the wrong person. Let's look for him next time. Let Hao Mingyu give the money first! Okay, stop making noise!" Before Heishuijun finished speaking, he had set up the black wind and flew towards the south of the city!
The black wind whirred and flew across the city. The speed was not fast, but it was swaying and swaggering through the city without any intention of hiding.
Soon, forces such as the Zeng family, the Zhao family, and Dingyu Temple all knew that the black bear outside the city had entered the city again.
The county governor's mansion.
"This bear spirit has a high level of cultivation, and he is also a person who is greedy for money and has no moral integrity. Someone must have paid him to come to the city to do things. Calculate the connection before and after..."
Zeng Wan frowned and was surprised.
"Could it be that this Lord Black Water has found the person that the City God needs?"
Suddenly a servant came to report that the master of the Zhao family next door was visiting.
"Please come in!"
After the person arrived, Zeng Wan went to greet him.
"Brother Zhao, why are you here?"
"The county magistrate is asking even though he already knows the answer." Zhao Jie raised his hand and pointed to the sky, "What do you think about this?"
"What else can you think?" Zeng Wan sighed, "It's hard to provoke both sides, so I'll just watch from the side."
Zhao Jie hesitated for a moment and said, "If it is Cuishan Jun who is discovered, he is a weaker person than the Divine Court, but he is not easy to provoke for us. If we let him be attacked in Longcheng, what if he escapes and leaves, and then we will be angry with him later..."
Before Zeng Wan could answer, a voice came from outside the door--
"Rumors say that Cuishan Jun is amazing, but in the final analysis, he is just an innate warrior! But Heishui Jun is also in the innate realm, and he is gifted, has innate magic, and has a strong body. How can you be sure that he can escape from Heishui Jun?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pot-bellied Taoist priest walked in. It turned out to be Jing Yuanzi from Dingyu Temple!
