Jingle.

The sound of iron striking is endless.

Blacksmith Zhang's hammer kept falling and went round and round.

Xiao Chen not far away, like an old monk in meditation, closed his eyes and did not move.

Only Zhang San looked at Xiao Chen from time to time, what could he really understand?

A few hours passed by in a flash.

During this period, neither Zhang Tiejiang nor Xiao Chen had any communication.

Xiao Chen didn't open his eyes until Blacksmith Zhang finished his sword and stopped the hammer in his hand.

"Congratulations, senior, you have beaten a demigod soldier."

Xiao Chen looked at the sword in Zhang Blacksmith's hand and said with a smile.

This sword is better than the one last time.

"It's not a magic weapon, why do you like it?"

Blacksmith Zhang shook his head, still dissatisfied.

"You're not going to destroy it again, are you?"

Xiao Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, isn't it too wasteful?

"If you don't destroy the unsatisfactory things, what's the use of keeping them?"

After Zhang Blacksmith finished speaking, he threw the sword into the stove casually.

Without any further instructions from him, Zhang San started to blow up the wind and increase the amount of fire.

"..."

Xiao Chen looked at the sword in the stove and shook his head slightly, what a pity.

"Come on, let's go out for tea."

Blacksmith Zhang wiped his hands and said to Xiao Chen.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded, got up and followed.

"It's a pity, it's a pity..."

After the two left, Zhang San looked at the sword and muttered a few words, but he still didn't take it out.

Outside, the two sat down and drank tea.

"This time, will there be any gains?"

Blacksmith Zhang took a sip of tea and asked.

"Well, this time seems to be different from last time."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"The effect is greater."

"hehe."

Blacksmith Zhang smiled, it seems that he can really hear it, it's not nonsense.

"Do you know where I learned my blacksmithing skills?"

"have no idea."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Could it be passed down by your ancestors?"

"You're really right."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"Then do you know where my ancestors learned it from?"

"Didn't you say yesterday that your ancestors went out to learn art with others, and you must have learned it from outside."

Xiao Chen looked at Blacksmith Zhang and smiled.

He wanted to see how Tiejiang Zhang would make it up.

"I didn't know each other well yesterday, and some words were half-truths and half-false... You and I hit it off, and there are some things that I can tell you."

Zhang Tiejiang was not embarrassed at all, and said lightly.

"All ears."

Xiao Chen sat up straight, did Blacksmith Zhang want to tell him something?

"It is said that my family ancestor...is the sword slave of Emperor Xuanyuan."

Blacksmith Zhang said slowly.

"Sword slave?"

Hearing Zhang Tiejiang's words, Xiao Chen's eyes widened.

Although he had some guesses, this identity... still surprised him.

From the identity of the 'guardian', he guessed that the guardian should be related to Emperor Xuanyuan.

But what the specific relationship is, but there is no way to guess.

"Hehe, it's just rumored, because it's too long ago, and it's just word of mouth."

Blacksmith Zhang smiled.

"From father to father, from father to son... It's just passed down from generation to generation."

"What is the 'sword slave' you mentioned just now?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously.

"What identity is it?"

"Sword slave... is dedicated to helping Emperor Xuanyuan forge iron-forged weapons. Of course, he is just a helper."

Blacksmith Zhang explained.

"But even so, his identity and level are extremely extraordinary... After all, he is following Emperor Xuanyuan, and he is the emperor."

"really."

Xiao Chen nodded, not to mention Ren Huang's sword slave, even a dog raised by Ren Huang is more powerful than dogs from other places.

This sword slave was called a 'slave' in front of Emperor Xuanyuan, but in the eyes of outsiders, he must be a famous big shot.

"Whether it's true or not, it's all passed down like this, and it's no longer verifiable... However, I am indeed one of the guardians of this place."

Blacksmith Zhang took another sip of tea.

"Here, there is indeed the dojo of Emperor Xuanyuan."

"..."

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, staring at Blacksmith Zhang.

"The ghost king too?"

"yes."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"When he was young, he left Xuanyuan Town, and he came back two or three times a year... His ancestors also followed Emperor Xuanyuan."

"I see."

Xiao Chen suddenly realized that the ancestors of these guardians all followed Emperor Xuanyuan.

Then, their descendants will guard here.

In this case, it can be said and explained.

"Besides you two, is there anyone else?"

Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked again.

"Of course, if it's inconvenient to tell me, you don't have to."

"It's really inconvenient."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"..."

Xiao Chen is speechless, you are still real.

"The reason I'm telling you is because the vision has appeared, maybe the time has come."

Blacksmith Zhang said slowly.

"Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo may be seen again."

"I'm afraid that's not the reason, is it?"

Xiao Chen thought for a while, then shook his head.

He didn't think blacksmith Zhang would tell him so much just because of the vision.

If this is the case, then you can tell others, or set up a loudspeaker to shout in Xuanyuan Town.

Among other things, the outside world is more legends and speculations about Xuanyuan Realm, and they don't know much about it.

Before this, all forces, including the second floor, were not completely sure that there was Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo here!

Everything is 'allegedly' and 'legendary'.

Based on this alone, Blacksmith Zhang knew it, and if he told these big forces, there would probably be big rewards.

However, blacksmith Zhang didn't tell the big power, but told him.

The two met three times because they were not close relatives... Then, he bought a sword.

This friendship is not enough.

"That map."

Blacksmith Zhang smiled.

"Based on your talent, after reading it, there is a high probability that you can remember it? So, I want to cooperate with you."

"Animal skins at the auction?"

Xiao Chen was startled, and then reacted.

"Yes."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"That map, depicted... is most likely the Xuanyuan Realm."

"How do you know?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously.

"I heard about it, and pieced together some information, so I have a guess."

Blacksmith Zhang replied.

"No, if you want animal skins, you can cooperate with Zhao Cangqiong and the others...or the Longteng Chamber of Commerce. They have come to investigate before, I don't believe you don't know."

Xiao Chen said seriously.

"They are not suitable... people from the Longteng Chamber of Commerce have come here many times, and even bought a sword from the old man."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"What did they do here, they are all under the watchful eyes of the old..."

"I'm right?"

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, Zhang Tiejiang wanted to cooperate with him, and the ghost king also wanted to cooperate with him.

In it, is there anything he doesn't know?

It's impossible to say no.

Although he has always thought that he is handsome, attractive, and popular... But both of them are men, and they are still at this age, so it is impossible to treat him differently just because of this!

What is your talent, there is a high probability that you can remember it... This is too confusing.

But he told Ghost King that he memorized the map.

Could it be that the Ghost King told Blacksmith Zhang?

"I wasn't sure at first, but since you can hear a certain melody, I think you are suitable."

Zhang Tiejiang looked at Xiao Chen with a serious expression.

"This is also one of the reasons why I decided to cooperate with you."

"The Melody of Blacksmithing?"

Xiao Chen was stunned again.

"Yes."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"It just so happens that you are here, and the vision comes out...and you can understand, is this God's will?"

"You are the guardian, and you know far more about this place than me, and also far more than anyone else... Why do you want to cooperate?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and asked.

"If there is an inheritance, you can take it yourself...including the ghost king, he also wants to cooperate with me."

"Hehe, I guessed it."

Blacksmith Zhang smiled.

"There are rules, we guardians... can't take the inheritance, we can only guard it. This is the rule passed down from the ancestors, and it is also the responsibility of our descendants."

"Can't guard and steal?"

Xiao Chen subconsciously said.

"Um?"

Zhang Tiejiang looked at Xiao Chen, his old face collapsed.

"Hey, I didn't mean that..."

Xiao Chen coughed dryly.

"The rules are dead, but people are alive..."

"You're right, so we want to find someone to cooperate with."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"I see……"

Xiao Chen suddenly realized that there are indeed policies and countermeasures!

It seems that these guardians are also thinking about the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan.

But think about it, it is the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan, how many people can resist the temptation?

It's human nature that they want it.

Replacing him... the same.

"Based on my knowledge of Xuanyuan Realm, coupled with your map and talent, I believe we will gain something."

Blacksmith Zhang looked at Xiao Chen.

"how?"

"Do you know how the ghost king talked to me?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and asked.

"have no idea."

Blacksmith Zhang shook his head.

"But that's a profiteer, it's better not to cooperate as much as possible."

"Hehe, he said that I will cooperate with him, and after the completion of the matter..."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Twenty-eight? This seems to be his style."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"I……"

"Then do you know how I answered him?"

Before Blacksmith Zhang could speak, Xiao Chen spoke again.

"How did you answer? Rejected?"

Blacksmith Zhang was curious.

"Yes, I refused, and I told him... I like to ask for everything."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"..."

Blacksmith Zhang was speechless, all of them?

This kid's appetite... is too big, right?

"Senior, the reason for my refusal is not only because I want them all, but also because... I have no idea."

Xiao Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"You guys are very familiar with this place, but I'm very unfamiliar... I want to cooperate, but I don't show my attitude. How can I cooperate?"

"The old man understands what you mean."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"You and I both think about it, how about it?"

"good."

Xiao Chen put down the teacup.

"I also think that you, generation after generation, should be rewarded for guarding here... There is no such thing as a white job, right?"

"It's okay. If you want to talk about selfishness, you must have it, but if you want to say how much you want to get something, it's not enough."

Blacksmith Zhang shook his head.

"If the time comes, and Emperor Xuanyuan's inheritance is confirmed...then the shackles on our shoulders can also be lifted."
