Chronicles of Primordial Wars

When the street changed, Shao Xuan and the four had not left too far when they heard the movement. Although I couldn't see exactly what happened there, Black Bear and Mauda could also guess based on past experience.

"There must be a mammoth rushing past," Mauda said. He heard the elephant's voice just now, but it stopped after a while, and the guards wouldn't let them run amok around the city to wreak havoc.

"Fortunately, we left quickly, otherwise we will be affected." After saying "Black Bear", he thought of what Shao Xuan said before leaving the store, and glanced at Shao Xuan several times, thoughtfully.

In the past, Mao Da would have gone to watch the fun, but compared to the work of Gongjia's house, the commotion here is not so attractive. "Walk around, go to Gongjia's house, yes, Gongjia's house Where does Heng live in Gongjia's house?" Mao Da was curious. He returned to Wangcheng relatively late, and he knew about Gong Jiaheng in private while chatting with other people who stayed in Wangcheng.

"Over there, I've been there." "Black Bear" pointed and led the way.

Most of the people from the Gongjia family lived in one place in Wangcheng, surrounded by a huge courtyard wall. Although there were other people living in other places, they were relatively few. However, because of the large number of people, the courtyard wall of Gongjia's house has doors in four directions.

In fact, you don't have to worry about finding the right door, because now Gongjia's house is surrounded by many people because of Gongjiaheng's reasons.

"Why, you guys also go to see the sword test?" asked a person who knew "Black Bear" passing by.

"Well." "Black Bear" didn't say much. If he said it directly to find Gong Jiaheng, he would definitely be entangled.

When I got there, I didn't see the door. Shao Xuan saw people surrounded by layers, some came to try the sword, and some were just watching the fun.

"Alas. Failed again!"

"The sword is broken, he has no chance at all."

"It's not as good as the previous one. However, which one failed today?"

"Twenty-one, only one has succeeded. I haven't seen it, but I heard that it is from the Liubu Feng family."

The people around were talking, and someone squeezed out from the inside. He was dejected, and was pointed at by the people next to him. Obviously. This is the one who failed the sword test.

"So many!" Shao Xuan looked at the crowd who were so crowded that they couldn't see the door.

sighed.

"It's still a little less now. When Gongjiaheng just came back some time ago, there were more people." "Black Bear" said.

Gong Jiaheng, who had been away for 20 years, returned from Gongjia Mountain. Gongjia's family was shocked. I think that Gong Jiaheng was not a talented person, and could not rank in the entire Gongjia family. At that time, Gongjiaheng left and went to Gongjiashan. Many people were not optimistic. Every year, many people have this idea, but After leaving. He never came back. There are very few successful people, and they are all very smart people. For a mediocre person like Gong Jiaheng, looking for Gongjiashan is simply the rhythm of death.

Unfortunately, no one expected that Gong Jiaheng not only came back alive, but also successfully learned the skills left by the outstanding craftsmen of the past dynasties in Gongjia Mountain.

Not to mention the inside of Gongjia's family, even in the royal city, there was a lot of waves. Many people came here to ask for weapons, nobles like swords, and many people came to ask for swords.

but. After all, Gong Jiaheng has a high status, and even if he faces the six nobles, he dares to slap his face directly. Too many people come looking for it. Gong Jiaheng was impatient and came up with such a sword test level. Only those who have passed the customs can be registered on the list and are eligible to go to Gongjiaheng to negotiate, otherwise, they will all be blocked.

The so-called sword test is actually that Gong Jiaheng prepares some big stones, puts them outside the door, and then places some weapons. If anyone can use these weapons to cut the stones without hurting the weapons, they will pass the test. If the weapon is cut through a gap, it is considered a failure, not to mention the situation where the weapon is directly broken.

In fact, this is also a test of human strength. The texture grades of weapons and stones are deliberately selected by Gong Jiaheng. If they have enough ability, they can directly cut the stones without hurting the weapons. Even if the stone is not cut off, as long as the standard is met and the weapon is not damaged, it can still be included in the shortlist.

For most people, such conditions are too harsh and make things difficult for others, but everyone can understand it, and even many people think that this should be the case. After all, people are masters, so how can they create weapons for people at will?

After the level of the sword test was set, many people came to test the sword, but as more and more people failed, there were many fewer people who came out to test the sword. Don't be afraid of failure. What you are afraid of is to break the knife directly. In the future, you will no longer be able to find Gongjia for weapons, and may even be rejected by many craftsmen of Gongjia's family. Many of the craftsmen and apprentices of Gongjia's family are following the pace above. This is called the idol effect. Gongjiaheng said that he would not build weapons for anyone in the future. Those craftsmen and apprentices who follow Gongjiaheng will do the same.

When the four of them came, Shao Xuan happened to encounter a sword tester who broke the copper knife they used while chopping stones, and was immediately listed as eliminated. The sword tester I saw just now turned pale. In the future, if he wants to find people from Gongjia's family to build weapons, he can only find those craftsmen and apprentices from Gongjia's family who do not follow Gongjiaheng.

The "Black Bear" drove ahead like an armored vehicle, forcing the crowded onlookers to one side while he walked in. Shao Xuan and the three followed behind.

The person who was pushed away by "Black Bear" wanted to start scolding, but when he turned his head and saw the appearance of "Black Bear", he shut up. No matter when, only with strength can you have the capital to speak.

Some people standing on the outer layer dare not say "black bear". After seeing the black bear passing by, they want to take the opportunity to squeeze forward, but they don't want to. They just moved forward and were squeezed out. Yes, and was squeezed three times in a row.

"Who else wants to try the sword?" Someone shouted from the crowd.

"Come on, I'm going home to eat after reading it, I'm starving to death." Someone next to me complained.

It's just like when you watch a play, the good show never plays.

Seeing the "Black Bear" squeeze in, many people's eyes lit up and cheered up. Maybe this burly-looking person can put on a good show?

"Black Bear" really wanted to give it a try. In the past few days, he was just inquiring about the situation and observing. Bringing Shao Xuan this time, he also wanted to come, even if he failed. Maybe he could follow Shao Xuan's relationship and make Gong Jiaheng change his mind?

No wonder "Black Bear" lacked confidence. In the past, people and vegetables were chopped, how could there be stones? .

Determined, "Black Bear" said to Shao Xuan, "You wait first, I will try the sword."

Just as the "Black Bear" was about to pass, a man in a linen and gray cloth squeezed in from the other side of the crowd, his hair was simply tied behind his head with a cloth strip, his face was expressionless, and he looked taciturn. Not conspicuous either.

When "Black Bear" was talking to Shao Xuan, that person squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the sword test stone. Since he grabbed the first, "Black Bear" could only be in the back, which made the caravan boss a little uncomfortable. .

The man in gray looked at the several weapons, swords, axes, etc. that were placed on the table next to him. He picked up the sword directly, and without much preparation, came to the sword test stone and faced a stone the size of a winter melon. chopped down.

There is no skill, a very simple sword, but at the moment of slashing. Again, it gives a feeling of fierceness.

Clang!

There was a deep mark on the sword test stone, but it did not break. Looking at the sword in the grey clothed man's hand, there was a shallow gap on the sword.

The onlookers let out a burst of boos, not only regretting, but also gloating.

The person in front of the Sword Test Stone ignored the reaction of the onlookers, as if he had never heard of it, he just raised the sword horizontally. Flicking his fingers over the sword, he stared affectionately at the gap in the sword. As if to impress it deeply in my heart, then I looked at the deep marks on the stone. Holding the sword in both hands, he bowed solemnly towards the door: "I have been taught!"

After he finished speaking, the man in gray put down his sword, turned around and left without any hesitation, his lonely back, like those traveler swordsmen who walked around the world in the old man's story.

The onlookers were surprised to see the other party's reaction just now.

"Wait, this strong man, what did you understand after you cut a gap with your sword just now? Why do you look like you have understood the true meaning of this world?!"

"Why don't we find a place to have a drink and talk about life?"

Some bystanders followed and asked, but unfortunately, the unknown person remained silent, with his back straight like a long sword, and hurried away in the autumn wind.

Could it be a tall man?

The ideas of the masters in the world are always different, and they cannot always be theorized. Maybe people can become famous knights in the future? Someone thought.

However, "Black Bear" didn't pay more attention to the person who left, and when he saw another failure, he was also nervous, "What kind of weapon should I choose?"

"Swords? I heard that people from the Gongjia family make more swords. Maybe that sword is stronger than other weapons." Mao Da said.

"Black Bear" looked at Shao Xuan again.

"You can use whichever weapon you usually use. When chopping, just think it's a beast that is about to kill you. Don't think about anything else." Shao Xuan said.

"Black Bear" nodded, Shao Xuan's meaning was the same as what he thought, it was better to use weapons of the type he was accustomed to. In fact, he liked to use an axe the most.

Over there, the guards outside the door replaced the sword test stone with a new one. The stone for each sword test is different, but the material is the same.

When "Black Bear" was about to pass, Shao Xuan whispered to him again, "Black Bear" flashed joy in his eyes and nodded.

In front of everyone's eyes, the bear-sized caravan leader directly picked out an axe, tried it in his hand, and flicked the axe blade with his fingers. He had a general understanding of this axe in his heart. I don't understand stones, and I have used more weapons. I still have some understanding of this.

Thinking of Shao Xuan's words, after "Black Bear" passed by, he did not directly test the sword stone like the others, but turned a little to the side, looked at Shao Xuan, saw Shao Xuan nodded slightly, Black Bear took a deep breath, concentrated Pay attention, let go of your thoughts, and then think that you are walking out with a caravan and encounter a fierce beast that suddenly rushed out. When he was in danger, without any hesitation, he yelled and raised his hand suddenly. The arm of the axe, and then slashed!

When he chopped off the axe, the black bear still had cold murderous intent in his eyes, and the murderous intent made the onlookers tremble.

Bang!

Different from the crisp sound of the previous sword trials, it was particularly clear at this time.

The stone shattered in half, and the axe was deeply embedded in the wood below.

The onlookers were even more anxious than the black bear: "Hurry up and take a look! See if there are any gaps on the axe!"

The coldness in the black bear's eyes dissipated in an instant, and he regained his senses. Now he was uneasy, and with a single force, he pulled out the axe embedded in the wood.

"No...no?!"

"No gaps!!"

"Haha boss! You succeeded!" Mao Da ran over excitedly, rubbing his hands and wanting to give it a try.

Shao Xuan also went over to say congratulations.

"Get out of the way when you're done trying!" An indifferent voice sounded, prominent among the excitement and excitement.

The joy of "Black Bear" was poured into a basin of cold water by these words. He put away his smile and looked at it with a bear face, and then he said, "Who am I, it turns out to be the Linlu tribe. of."

Linlu tribe? Shao Xuan knew that this tribe was due to the fact that yesterday, the horse driver he met on the way to Jiju was from the Linlu tribe. It was said that he hugged the Ji family's thigh and became a new little aristocrat in the royal city. (To be continued)
