Chapter 565

Xu Qing looked at Li Changting puzzledly: "what's wrong with him? It's not like him in such a hurry. "

Li Changting seemed to know something, but he was not sure, so he shook his head and said nothing.

The priest came to see off Li Changting and Xu Qing, but he was not sad at all, even in a good mood. The leader's condition improved and he would soon recover. Now the whole Qingyang sect is very happy.

After saying goodbye to Qingyang cult, Li Changting takes Xu Qing to the sunset villa on horseback. That's right. The purpose of his going to Wanyao cave is also the sunset villa.

Sunset villa is not far from Qingyang cult. They arrived after a day's journey.

However, Li Changting did not enter the sunset villa. Instead, at night, he inquired about some news in the small town near the sunset villa. The next day, he took Xu Qing to a small mountain range near the sunset villa.

There is a private villa in the forest. It is said that it was built by a senior in the sunset villa.

When Li Changting showed the keepsake, the doorman was very surprised and respectfully invited them in.

In the garden, an old man with withered white hair was quietly basking in the sun on a reclining chair. He closed his eyes and looked serenely. After hearing the sound, he opened his eyes and looked this way.

Contrary to his seemingly weak appearance, his eyes were extremely fierce, especially when he got up and walked over with his back and hands. His whole body was not angry and arrogant, giving people a sense of awe.

He stopped at a distance of one meter in front of Li Changting, squinted at Li Changting for a while, and made a hoarse voice: "ten years, I thought you would not come to me again."

Li Changting did not speak. Instead, he took the sword off his waist and handed it to the old man with both hands.

The old man took the sword and pulled it out with the handle. He flicked the sword body with his index finger, and his ears moved. He heard an obvious murmur from the sound of the sword. Then he squinted and looked at the sword body carefully, and there was a small crack on it.

The old man immediately glanced at Li Changting with a clear expression: "no wonder you will come. Your Kung Fu has developed so fast that this sword is no longer suitable for you."

Then the old man looked at Xu Qing: "your wife?"

Li Changting said: "yes, my wife Xu Qing, Qing'er, this is Zhai Lao, the former elder of sunset villa."

Xu Qing greets with a smile: "hello."

Zhai nodded and thought that Xu Qing was a younger generation. It seemed unreasonable not to give him a gift. He said, "there are many weapons suitable for women in my warehouse. If you are interested, you can go in and take them away."

Xu Qing was also impolite and politely replied, "thank you, Mr. Zhai."

Zhai glanced behind Li Changting and saw that he was carrying a big bamboo basket. He thought it was what he wanted.

Zhai was in a good mood and said, "follow me to the stove room."

The furnace room is where Zhai Lao practices his sword. He is a famous swordsman in the world. However, ten years ago, he stopped customizing weapons for people.

The reason is very simple. He is old and can't even lift his hammer. The quality of the weapons he makes is not as good as before. So he has to leave his position as an elder and move out to live for the rest of his life.

However, it doesn't mean that he's really free. He can't make weapons himself, but he has to give lessons to the disciples of sunset villa. I don't know how many people in the world want to join him. It's a pity that Zhai never takes in apprentices.

Li Changting had already told Xu Qing about Zhai's current situation before he came here, so the couple both had some doubts about how Zhai would fulfill his promise and forge a more powerful sword for Li Changting ten years later.

"Get the things out of here!" Zhai Lao urged Li Changting, can't wait to see the things in Li Changting's basket.

Li Changting nodded, took down the basket and put it on the table. Then he took out a box of snacks, a box of roast duck and a small pot of honey.

Zhai Lao's face changed: "what is this?"

Li Changting: "meeting gift."

Zhai restrained his eagerness, opened the box, took a piece of mung bean cake from inside and ate it. Then his eyes lit up: "delicious! It's good. I'm sorry you know how to honor me. "

Li Changting reminded: "this pot of honey will be of great benefit to you. Please keep it carefully."

Zhai laotiao eyebrows, looking at the palm of the beautiful porcelain jar: "is it?"

Li Changting did not say much. He continued to take out two bags of ore from the bamboo basket. The big bag was high-purity iron ore, and the small bag was the purpose of his visit to the Wanyao grottoes.

Zhai's eyes brightened several degrees when he saw the six pieces of ore in the small bag. He picked up one piece of ore and knocked it with a small hammer. When he saw that there was a little silver in the ore, his eyes narrowed.

"Yes, you found it according to the mark I made at the beginning, but I didn't take it all away. Later, because I was too old to go in, I couldn't help myself. It's really cheap, you boy!"

Li Changting nodded: "I found so many. I don't know if it's enough?"

Zhai: "casting a sword is enough."

Seeing Xu Qing's puzzled look, Li Changting explained: "this kind of silver ore is used to increase the furnace temperature and make the sword more tenacious and not easy to break."Xu Qing said, to tell you the truth, she doesn't know much about it, but based on common sense of physics, swords and other weapons must be made of steel.

She still remembers a joke that one of her colleagues accidentally told her when he was reading a travel through novel.

Because the ancient cast iron technology is not developed, even a modern ordinary kitchen knife can become a magic weapon in ancient times.

However, later she saw on TV that the ancient steel-making technology had existed for a long time, but it was only immature. A kitchen knife became a magic weapon in ancient times, which was exaggerating.

Zhai has already called Li Changting to an open place to try some weapons in the stove room and show him some tricks to give Zhai some reference.

Xu Qing found a chair to sit down and yawned a little bored.

Half an hour later, Li Changting came back and said that Zhai had already had an idea. Next, he had to close the door and cast a sword. He could not be disturbed.

They are staying in Zhai's biezhuang for the time being.

"Isn't Zhai going to sunset villa to teach every month? Now he's casting swords for you behind closed doors, er, etc Isn't he unable to lift the hammer? Which of the rumors is true? " Xu Qing almost rolled his eyes when he said that.

Li Changting: "Lao Zhai is very cautious and cherishes his life. Although he keeps his promise, he values himself more, so he is not absolutely sure. He will not so readily decide to cast a sword for me. The factional struggle of sunset villa is complicated. He has been isolated from the world for ten years, probably to avoid suspicion."

"Don't worry about teaching. They have already gone to sunset villa. Now we don't know what's going on inside. We might as well go in tomorrow and have a look. I have promised to delay Zhai for a few days."
