Immortal Refiner

Li Qing woke up almost on time, and returned to the original world before dawn.

He slept refreshed, feeling that all the fatigue in his body had faded away, and the fatigue from standing and forging iron in the past few days was eliminated.

As usual, Li Qing took two rice bowls to the kitchen to get food, and then sent it to Master Gu.

But after pushing open the curtain, he noticed that something was wrong in the tent.

Quiet!

It was too quiet!

"Master!" Li Qing's hands trembled, and he almost dropped the two rice bowls on the ground.

He hurried to the edge of the bed, looking at Master Gu who had closed his eyes, his eyes couldn't help but turn red slightly.

Master Gu was dead.

This news spread all over the border army at once, causing many people to sigh and sigh.

In the Wuli Army, Master Gu's reputation is still very high. Many centurions and even thousand-man commanders in the army have their weapons made by him personally. Each weapon he personally produced is very fine and durable.

In the military, funerals are basically kept simple, without too many red tape.

However, basic etiquette is still there. Some high-ranking military officials who have received Master Gu's favor all came to pay their respects.

The first person to come to Master Gu's tent was Centurion Chen Meng. This burly man with a rough face full of flesh looked at Master Gu's remains with a solemn face.

"Alas!" Chen Meng sighed, without saying much, but patted Li Qing who was guarding on the side.

The second person to come to pay his respects was Qian Hong, a thousand-man commander who had met yesterday! This was somewhat beyond Li Qing's expectations. M..

This female thousand-man commander was still so heroic. She just glanced at Master Gu's body and retracted her gaze.

She had been in the army for many years, so Qian Hong would not be sentimental because of a person's natural death.

"Master Gu said that you have learned most of his skills. Is this true?" Qian Hong looked directly at Li Qing, but this time she was not very aggressive, but changed to a relatively gentle tone.

Li Qing shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, and he replied: "Master is flattering me. I have only been learning from him for less than two years. How could I have learned to this extent?"

"That's right, Master Gu really chose a good time to die." Qian Hong shook her head with some regret, and did not say anything more, and turned to leave the tent.

Then several centurions came in, all of them were big and strong men. As soon as they came, they asked Li Qing about his well-being, said a lot of words, and then left.

The second centurion who came over was named Yuan Xiao. He narrowed his eyes and often had a gentle smile on his lips, looking like a good old man.

If it weren't for Master Gu's advice, Li Qing might have thought so.

However, those who can sit in the position of a captain in the army are naturally not gentle and kind.

Li Qing's first impression of him became very bad, and he immediately labeled him as a hypocrite in his heart.

"Hehe, little brother, you are the apprentice of Master Gu, Gu Gu has made a lot of contributions in the army over the years. If you encounter any trouble in the army in the future, just come to me." Yuan Xiao squinted and said gently.

Although the first impression was bad, the play that should be performed must not be missed. Li Qing directly showed a grateful expression and responded: "Captain Yuan, thank you!"

"Okay, little brother, death is like the extinguishing of a light, you should not be too sad." Yuan Xiao said considerately.

After speaking, Captain Yuan Xiao also left. After he walked out of the tent, his eyes flickered slightly, and it was difficult to guess what he was thinking.

As the other party left, Li Qing swallowed his saliva and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

What a deep scheming mansion! As Master Gu said, you must be extremely careful.

If you can avoid contact with this person in the future, try not to contact him.

There are three centurions stationed in the Wuli Army at the border. After waiting for a long time, Li Qing did not wait for the third centurion to come to pay his respects, which made him a little confused.

"Could it be that this third centurion has nothing to do with Master Gu?"

Perhaps this is really possible, otherwise why did Master Gu only let me pay attention to the other two centurions before his death, but did not mention the remaining one.

On the same day, Master Gu was buried, and the etiquette was simple.

They found a small mound outside the border to bury Master Gu. Li Qing accompanied him from beginning to end. After the diggers left, Li Qing quietly waited in front of the grave.

Should I run away at this time?

This idea just came up and was suppressed by Li Qing. It was not a wise choice to run away at this time.

Wait!

When he is stronger, he will be able to protect himself. When the situation is more chaotic, no one will pay attention to him, a little blacksmith apprentice!

The strong wind outside the Great Wall will never stop. At this moment, it has rolled up the yellow sand all over the sky.

Li Qing stroked the tombstone with his hand for a while and sighed in his heart.

Master Gu left too suddenly, but it was not too unexpected.

Speaking of which, during the time I was in the army, I received a lot of care from the other party. Although it was a bit strict, it was all for my own good.

All of a sudden, the voice and smile of Master Gu in the past echoed in Li Qing's heart again.

Alas!

As an immortal, I am afraid that I will have to experience a lot of such things in the future, and I may have to send off many of my descendants.

No wonder people become more ruthless the longer they live...

"Hey, let's practice!"

Immediately, Li Qing threw all the messy thoughts out of his mind and stood in front of Master Gu's grave.

Even the eight-level strong wind could not shake his figure, and his posture was as steady as a pine tree.

I don't know how long it lasted. Just as Li Qing kept standing in the posture, a vicissitudes of life suddenly rang out.

"Gu Xuan Hammer Gong, it seems that the old man really handed over all his family assets to you!"

Hearing this sudden voice, Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't even notice the movement of the person coming!

"Who?!"

Li Qing glanced around and immediately saw an old naughty boy holding a wine gourd and with red cheeks standing on the side of the grave.

Dingdang!

The drunkard-looking old man poured out some of the wine in the gourd and sprinkled it in front of Master Gu's grave.

"Hey, my last name is Guo."

As soon as these words came out, Li Qing's heart was slightly shaken, and he immediately thought of someone.

The third captain of the Wuli Army in the border, Guo Zhentong!

It turned out to be an old man! He looked like a drunkard...

"Hello, Master Captain!" Li Qing reacted and immediately wanted to greet him.

Guo Zhentong said with a smile: "Stand up, you continue to practice your standing practice, don't worry about me, I just came to take a last look at Gu Laotou."

As the wine was poured out, the surroundings were already filled with a strong aroma of wine, and just smelling it was intoxicating.
