Chapter 010: Anlu Contest (1)
Yao Ze couldn't laugh or cry, he waved his hand, "Lord Xiabao, don't worry, let me ask first, how did you get acquainted with the monk?
Xia Gongman felt that he was also a little anxious, so he explained to Yao Ze in detail.
The original Anlu City was not so big, and later, with the support of the Blue Moon Pavilion, it underwent a large-scale expansion. Although Qingyue Pavilion is a sect of cultivation, there are many disciples under the sect, and the family members are also a very large group, most of the family members cannot cultivate the truth because they have no spiritual roots, but they also have to live, and Qingyue Pavilion also needs a population base to select disciples, so Qingyue Pavilion supports the expansion and development of Anlu City.
There should be a lot of cities like this, after all, Lingxi is so big, not only Qingyue Pavilion, but other cultivation sects also do this.
After understanding that this was the case, Yao Ze did not hesitate, and said directly: "I won't do anything to worship, but there are two conditions, the fort master can agree, and I can take the place of Xiajiabao once." ”
Xia Gongman was overjoyed when he heard this, "If you mention any conditions for Young Master Yao, my Xiajiabao will definitely meet you." ”
"The first condition is that I need spirit stones, and give me forty percent of your castle's annual income spirit stones. Second, I want to join the Blue Moon Pavilion, please introduce me to Guibao. ”
Xia Gongman listened to Yao Ze's conditions, lowered his head and thought for a while. Yao Ze didn't urge, just drank tea quietly, in fact, he was quite nervous, if no one helped, how to enter the cultivation world, he didn't know anything at all.
Xia Gongman thought for a while, then raised his head and said to him: "Young Master Yao, I can't hide it, there is no problem with the first condition, I can give more." As for joining Qingyue Pavilion, it's a bit troublesome, and it's really not something that my Xia Jiabao can control. ”
Yao Ze didn't speak, so since Xia Gongman had been thinking for so long, he must have something to say.
Sure enough, Naxia Gongman continued: "That Qingyue Pavilion will come to Anlu City every year to recruit disciples, but the recruitment is very strict, Anlu City has a population of nearly 100 million, and no more than three people are recruited every year. ”
He originally thought that the Xiuzhen Sect would be very strict in recruiting people, but he didn't expect that only two or three people would be recruited by hundreds of millions of people, and it would be difficult to cultivate immortals. He didn't hesitate, "Okay, when does the competition start?
When Xia Gongman heard that Yao Ze agreed to make a move, he was overjoyed and introduced the rules of the competition.
This competition is presided over by the city lord, and it is limited to the four major forces, if other forces reach out, the four major forces will work together to the outside world.
Last time, Xia Jiabao paid a great price and invited a seventh-level monk in the Qi Refining Period, won the championship in one fell swoop, and received two percent of the resources. However, it has also aroused the covetousness of the other three forces, and now that the seventh-level monk has disappeared inexplicably, it should be the ghost of the three forces.
There is no order when competing, as long as you think you are strong enough, you can challenge others, there is no limit to the challenger, the challenged person does not compete continuously, the competition does not matter life or death, of course, you can abstain and admit defeat.
The competition was held five days later, and Yao Ze had nothing to prepare. When Xia Gongman asked him what weapon he needed, he remembered the iron rod used at sea that day, and felt that it still had a bit of weight, so he asked Xia Gongman to prepare a heavy iron rod. When Xia Gongman heard this, he simply said: "Yao Gongzi, you need multiple iron rods, just make them directly, our Xiajiabao is specialized in making weapons, and five days should be enough." ”
As soon as he heard that he was interested, he had been a human being in two lives, and he had not seen a weapon-making before, so he got up and followed Xia Gongman to the forging workshop. This forging workshop occupies a very large area, hundreds of shirtless men wield sledgehammers, "jingling" is very pleasant, fiery red weapons stretch out into the water and emit bursts of green smoke, the whole forging workshop looks lively.
The forging workshop was in charge of an uncle of Xia Gongman, the old man showed his strong chest on the scarf, his black and red face was full of sweat, he heard that Yao Ze was going to make a heavy stick, and looked him up and down, "Young man, how much do you want?"
"The heavier, the better," he said. ”
The old man was a little unimpressed by Yao Ze's big tone, and squinted at him, "Young man, I got a piece of Tiantie a few years ago, if you can handle it, my old man will personally make a weapon for you, how about it?"
"Tiantie?" Yao Ze suddenly remembered the sledgehammer in his previous life, and the sledgehammer was also made of Tiantie, which was made for him by the royal aunt, and now he ...... He shook his head and looked at the castle master's uncle, "Okay, this time I may have to trouble the old man to do it himself." ”
Xia Gongman was also interested, although Yao Ze was not small, after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes. A few people came to the backyard, and the iron was actually an extraterrestrial meteorite, famous for its weight. Everyone heard that someone was going to lift the heavenly iron, and they all surrounded it, and the heavenly iron had been placed in this courtyard for nearly ten years, and no one had heard that anyone could lift it.
Yao Ze touched the iron of the day, the size was much bigger than the original sledgehammer, but he was not stunned, originally he was amazing, since he soaked in the Shenglong Pool, he has not had a chance to test how powerful he is, so he will try it today.
There are more and more onlookers, everyone looks at the young man who came with the castle owner, dressed in a blue shirt, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance is quite upright, but he doesn't look like a powerful person, but because it was brought by the castle owner, no one went to say anything, but most people came to see the joke.
Yao Ze didn't particularly move his body, he just lifted the placket and coiled it around his waist, half-squatted his body, shouted, "Get up", and picked up Tiantie with both hands.
Everyone was in an uproar, and Xia Gongman even shouted "Okay", his face full of excitement. The lord of the castle also widened his eyes, looking incredulous.
Yao Ze twisted his waist, the mana of his whole body naturally flowed, and with his arms straightened, he directly lifted Tiantie above his head.
There was a gasping "whoosh" sound around him, and everyone was shocked by his divine power.
Yao Ze felt that this Tiantie should be more than twice the weight of his original sledgehammer, maybe about a thousand catties. He put the heavenly iron on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust and smoke, and looked at the castle lord clan uncle who was still dumbfounded, "Old man, I'm lifting it up." ”
The old man woke up from the shock, his red face lit up with excitement, how could he have ever seen such a powerful person?
"The iron is heavy this day, how about making an eight-edged sledgehammer?"
"No problem, I'll start working on this sledgehammer in this yard now. ”
There are many people who are easy to do, and everyone is also very excited, they all want to see what this sledgehammer is like, and after a while, the stove, the bracket, and all kinds of beating tools are ready.
The lord of the castle shook off his coat, revealing his dark and strong chest, and with a wave of his right hand, the fire rose into the air, and he barbecued against the heavenly iron on the stand.
Xia Gongman explained to Yao Ze next to him, this weapon seems simple, but it is actually quite complicated, it requires twenty-five processes, first fusing and removing slag, refining the components of real iron in Tiantie, and then adding refined iron powder, purifying and removing slag again, and then folding, forging and forging to make it tighter and more evenly distributed, and finally grinding and forming, the so-called "100 refining into steel" is not an exaggeration.
Yao Ze is also full of confidence in this forging workshop, after all, this Xiajiabao craft is said to have been passed down for hundreds of years, and he is also looking forward to this sledgehammer in his heart.
During this period, Yao Ze also went to meet the carefree Taoist once, after all, they still cooperated once. He controlled about half of his mana, and the carefree Dao Master was still ignoring it, and when his divine sense was swept away, he found that Yao Ze was a fourth-level monk in the Qi refining period, and he was so young, so he was busy talking to him.
On the fourth day, Xia Gongman and his uncle brought the sledgehammer together. The hammer head is divided into eight sides, not very large, about one and a half feet, the whole body is dark and emitting a misty purple light, the hammer handle is more than two feet, it is made of a hundred years of sandalwood.
Yao Ze was very satisfied at a glance, took it in his hand, and played twice in the courtyard according to the purple electric hammer method, and everyone applauded when they saw that the sledgehammer was like a pear blossom.
He withdrew his hand and looked at the sledgehammer, and said silently: "From now on, you will be called the Purple Electric Hammer." ”
On the day of the competition, Xia Gongman came early to invite Yao Ze, and Miss Xia, who had not seen her for a few days, also came. A few people invited the chief of the worry-free road again, and set off together by car to the city lord's mansion.
The carefree Taoist was still indifferent, ignoring everyone, just nodding to Yao Ze, and Xia Gongman seemed to be accustomed to this, pointing to the roadside building to introduce him.
The city lord's mansion is very tall, the eaves are warped, the hooks and corners, extending to the horizon, it looks magnificent, and there are two rows of vigorously armed guards standing at the door. Yao Ze didn't know what this city lord was cultivating, and his divine sense didn't dare to move. As soon as the four of them arrived at the gate of the mansion, someone sang: "Xiajiabao guests have arrived!"
Yao Ze and the others walked into the hall, and two people greeted them. Yao Ze knew at a glance, Bai Jintang, the young master of Baifu, another middle-aged man in white, with a dignified appearance and thin lips, at first glance, he was a cold and mean person, and he should be the patriarch of Baifu by his father. Sure enough, Miss Xia introduced next to him that this person was Bai Yushu, the patriarch of Baifu.
The white jade tree clenched his fists, "Lord Xiabao, you came a little late today." He turned around and bowed to the Worry-Free Dao Chief, "I've seen the Immortal Chief." ”
The carefree Daoist snorted in his nose, which was regarded as a greeting, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Brother Yu Dao!"
Everyone followed his gaze, and Xia Gongman's face also changed, "Immortal Yu Chang!"
Yao Ze saw that Yu Xianchang was sitting next to him, dressed in a green shirt, with a mustache on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't look at everyone, and drank tea there with an indifferent face.
His divine sense swept away, and the Yu Immortal Chief's cultivation was obviously higher than that of the Worry-Free Dao Chief, no wonder he looked like an old god was there. There is also a black-faced monk next to him who is not weak, and he is obviously also invited by Bai Fu.
