"The knife is very good, how much silver?"

The man in the bamboo hat closed the knife and looked at the blacksmith.

The blacksmith smiled and waved his hand: "I made it very clear at the beginning that the knife is for you, not to mention silver taels, I won't even accept a copper plate. If you force me to accept it, you will look down on me."

The man in the bamboo hat slowly raised his head: "No, I still have to accept it..."

clang!

The eyes exposed under the bamboo hat flashed a sharp light, and the right arm exerted strength instantly, and drew out the saber.

The blacksmith's pupils shrank sharply.

Before he had time to react, he saw a cold light flashing in front of him, and an invisible saber aura flew out from the blade.

After a breath.

Sheath the knife.

The eyes of the man in the bamboo hat have returned to calm, and he can no longer see half of the sharp light just now.

The blacksmith's face was a little stiff: "You..."

Boom!

A sound came from the roof tiles of the smithy.

Dozens of broken tiles fell, accompanied by a figure.

This is an ordinary-looking man, dressed in an inconspicuous linen robe, and a sword hanging from his waist can be seen faintly.

His body was shaking constantly, and there was a finger-deep wound in his throat, from which blood kept gushing out.

The man's eyes were still open, full of disbelief, as if he never thought that he would die here, at the hands of the man in the bamboo hat.

"Almost fooled me."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ren recalled the demeanor of the knife just now.

From the moment the man in the hat suddenly changed his voice and drew the sword, he really thought that the man in the hat had an intention to see the sword, and decided to kill him in order to prevent the blacksmith from forging the same weapon again.

No, the man in the bamboo hat really wanted to kill the thief who was hiding on the roof and eavesdropping.

If it wasn't for Jiang Ren, it was the knife that killed the man, and he might not be able to react in time.

Although Jiang Ren could see through obstacles, it was only within two meters of the blade, so he couldn't spot the thief.

"That saber energy should be the internal force mentioned by the blacksmith."

Jiang Ren guessed.

The moment the man in the hat swung his knife, a special energy full of lethality entered his body.

Then it turned into a blade of Qi, flew out from the edge of the blade, penetrated the tiles of the roof, and slit the throat of the lurking person.

"Enter. I always feel that this word is not used correctly."

Jiang Ren shook his head.

As soon as I shook off this thought, I saw a red light spot the size of a soybean rising from the figure that had turned into a corpse.

"what is that?"

With a thought, Jiang Ren realized that he could draw the light spot to his side.

When the spot of light got closer, a new discovery was made.

"This light spot seems to be similar to the mysterious energy I cultivated. Can it also be used to strengthen the blade?"

Immediately, Jiang Ren did as soon as he thought of it.

Try to integrate the light spots into the blade, and start to strengthen and improve the hardness of the blade.

Such a sight.

Neither the man in the hat nor the blacksmith responded. The red light spot, which was so obvious to Jiang Ren, was invisible to them.

"Brother Nie, your quiet move made me jump."

The blacksmith came back to his senses, smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Feel sorry."

The voice of Nie Qingge, the man in the bamboo hat, was still cold.

Outside, the man in Tsing Yi who was guarding the shop heard the voice and shouted: "Brother, what happened, I came in?"

The blacksmith immediately scolded: "Who will watch the shop when you come in? If something is lost, shall we drink northwest wind tomorrow?"

"If you don't go in, don't go in, what are you doing so fiercely?"

The man in Tsing Yi whispered, but he really gave up the idea of ​​going in.

"I wouldn't blame Brother Nie for such a trivial matter."

The blacksmith glanced at the corpse on the ground and said, "Judging from the tiger's mouth and bulging temples, this man is not only a good swordsman, but also a master of the acquired world. How much hatred is there to be so close to Brother Nie?" , Climb to the roof to eavesdrop in broad daylight?"

Nie Qingge replied, "It's not just this one."

"How many people are there?"

The blacksmith immediately looked nervously at the top of his head, as well as the window and wooden door next to him.

Nie Qingge added: "This is the only person following me, but this is not the only person who wants to kill me."

"Have you provoked any powerful forces?"

Hearing this, the blacksmith gradually understood.

Nie Qingge knelt down and groped around the corpse: "I received a letter and I was going to do something, but the faction that this person belongs to wanted me to give up. I rejected them, so..."

The blacksmith interjected, "So they want to kill you?"

"That's right."

Nie Qingge nodded his head lightly.

The blacksmith was thoughtful: "That is to say, as long as you don't give up for a moment, they will continue to send people to chase you down?"

"Yes."

"And they are all powerful people in this acquired state?"

"It could be even higher."

As Nie Qingge said, he took out a sheathed dagger and a few banknotes from the clothes of the person in front of him.

After taking a casual look, he put them in his inner pocket.

The blacksmith thought for a while, and couldn't help but said: "For a letter, are you willing to face the pursuit of a big force, and you don't want to give up?"

"The owner of the letter is kind to me."

Nie Qingge stood up, with unshakable firmness in his calm eyes.

"What kindness is so great that you can risk death on the road, resist wave after wave of pursuit, and do it?"

The blacksmith couldn't figure it out, sending out a random person was such a good hand.

If that force becomes serious and sends out more powerful people, then this benefactor who once saved him may inevitably die.

"The grace of a meal."

Nie Qingge said as if recalling: "Once upon a time, when I was about to starve to death, he gave me a bowl of rice. Without that bowl of rice, I would definitely not be able to survive that day, let alone the one who is still alive now. I."

"The grace of this meal is indeed a great kindness."

Hearing this sentence, the blacksmith stopped persuading him.

Although he is willing to give away the best weapon he made for the sake of saving his life, he knows that if he is in Nie Qingge's perspective, he will never put himself in a situation where he may die at any time for a bowl of rice many years ago. situation.

The blacksmith sighed, and said, "I'll take care of this corpse. Brother Nie, if you have nothing to do, hurry up. If that's the case, if the force reacts slowly, the person sent to hunt you down may be separated from you." .”

"Thank you!"

Nie Qingge raised his hand, arched it, turned and left.

Walking through the shop full of weapons outside, he untied the reins tied to the post at the door, rode a tall horse with a bad coat, and left quickly.

"Successful!"

Jiang Ren, who had never left the blacksmith's shop since he was born, did not pay attention to the outside at the moment.

Because, his attempt just now had results.

The blood-colored light spots are indeed effective, and one drop is almost worth four or five hours of penance.

All the bloody light spots are used to strengthen the blade, and the hardness has increased by about 1% on the original basis.

This also means that besides penance, he has another way to obtain mysterious energy.

"I just don't know the conditions for this light spot to appear. Is it the people who died around me? Or the people who are going to be killed by me?"

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Ren turned his attention to the outside world.

At this moment, Nie Qingge had already ridden the horse out of the town and galloped on the khaki road.

There were only a few ordinary people with firewood on their backs. It was obviously impossible for the sudden murder just now, and it was even more impossible to experiment with the conditions for the light spots to appear.

Jiang Ren withdrew his gaze, manipulated the mysterious energy in the blade, and began to increase its hardness and sharpness.

Judging from the size and strengthening degree of the light spot.

When the mysterious energy in the blade is used up, the hardness may reach twice the original state.

blacksmith shop.

As soon as the blacksmith turned his head, he found a stack of silver bills on the tool table next to him.

Picking it up for a look, he found that the value was comparable to the knife given out, and even exceeded by a lot, so he couldn't help but shook his head: "A chivalrous man..."
