Chapter 1
Chapter 1
Qingcheng Villa was built on a low hillside ten miles south of the city. This villa occupies a large area. After the owner of the villa asked Wang Tianshi, who was the head of the hundred schools of thought at that time, to find the acupoint, he ordered this spiritual place. Built by the side.It is indeed a treasure land, and Qingcheng Villa has been famous since then.
The people living in the Qingcheng Villa are members of the Qingcheng faction.Actually speaking, the Qingcheng faction is not a faction in the arena, but it is the most critical faction in the arena, because they are good at fighting cold weapons.Since the establishment of this school of forging and exporting weapons, gradually other places that make weapons can no longer rely on it, and gradually withdraw from the weapon forging business.Now it has evolved into almost the only one in the Jianghu, from the famous generals in the court to the bandits in the mountains, and there are also various factions in the Jianghu all pointing to the weapons made by his family.
Gu Qingcheng, the elder brother of the Qingcheng faction, is also the eldest son of the current owner of Gu Zhuang. and he has always been favored by his father and mother, so he is inevitably arrogant.
Gu Qingcheng is now in his twenties, but he hasn't even talked about his marriage yet.Ever since he started, his parents have always wanted to help him talk about marriage, and it has been four years since they talked about it, but they still haven't talked about it.This scene says that it is Gu Qingcheng who is to blame, and he is indeed to blame, because his "reputation" is very bad.There are two points to this reputation, one, he looks like a person who is not very good-natured, too arrogant, there are men and women in the disciples of the Qingcheng sect, and his sect not only accepts male disciples, but also female disciples First, when it comes to smelting ingredients, women are more careful than men. The men and women of this faction have passed on the reputation of this big brother's arrogance. Whoever outside the villa thought of the name "Gu Qingcheng" They are all the eight characters of "spotless, extremely difficult to serve".There is another one, he was born too well, and he inherited his mother's very good looks by twelve points, but just replaced a pair of excellent facial features and skin with a man's shelf, a little more angular, It's nothing more than a masculinity and a man's sex, and anyone who sees him will sigh in his heart that his mother was a beautiful woman back then.It's just that there is nothing wrong with having a son who looks like his mother, but he didn't inherit ten points and have a few more points, which is better than his two younger sisters, so let's ask which woman is willing to marry him, Looking at his face every day is afraid that my heart will be blocked.For example, his second brother is also quite good-looking, but not as good as him, but he is somewhat envious of his second brother in his heart, and has always hated others saying that he looks like his mother, and he looks a little better than his mother. In his ears, he seemed to be saying, "He looks like a woman, and is more feminine than a woman." Others didn't say that, and they didn't mean that at all, but it sounded like a That's what it means.Based on these two points, all the ladies in the family of famous eunuchs were scared away by his reputation.
But when it comes to talking about kissing, if he blames Gu Qingcheng but he doesn't blame him completely, he doesn't care who he marries, but his parents are quite selective, and it is said that the young lady of the famous eunuch's family can't be counted on, so they should still marry. You can lay your eyes a little bit aside and see if there are any girls from small families who have a good temper and a roughly upright appearance.The daughters of those small households are no better than everyone, they must be pampered, and people must look up to their beauty every day to decide.The daughters of Xiaohu's family are more or less honest. Thinking of marrying the eldest son of Qingcheng Pai Master Gu, they must help make up for their own family. Such a business that only makes money but not loses, they must be If he is willing, he will not care about how much better his husband will be than himself in the future, and he will not care whether his husband will be cruel and difficult to serve.It's a pity that Gu Zhuangzhu and his wife don't like small families to marry.In this way, Gu Qingcheng's second younger brother is already married, and his matter is still pending.
It's just after mid-May, and the weather in the north is neither too cold nor too hot, but it's getting hotter and hotter.On this day, the thick fog had covered the villa for a whole day, and it hadn't dissipated until Shenzheng time. This kind of sky made people feel even more gloomy.Gu Qingcheng was already preoccupied, and on such a day, he became even more preoccupied. He didn't see him go out all day, and just stayed in his own room.His preoccupation was not because he was troubled by his undecided marriage, but because a new junior was about to arrive in the village.
His family and this junior brother's family had a very close friendship. His father and this junior brother's father were both friends of Kun Ji. This friendship began when the two were young until the moment when this junior brother's father died unfortunately. But, of course, although the person has passed away, the friendship did not end at that moment.When the younger brother's father was sick and lying on the bed, he wrote a letter early to make a close friend in another city hundreds of miles north, hoping to entrust his nineteen-year-old only son to his family to take care of him.As soon as Zhuangzhu received the letter, he took three of his personal servants to visit this old friend's house. Looking at his condition at that time, he knew that it was not very good.At that time, he saw that he had only his son and a few servants from his small village to wait on the sickbed, so he left two of his servants to take care of him at his house, and then returned to Qingcheng Mountain Villa, and sent to the village again. The second housekeeper came to his side to prepare for his death.The second housekeeper of the Qingcheng Villa is a decent person, so I feel relieved to have him take care of him.
A few days ago, I received a letter from the second housekeeper, saying that the funeral affairs on the other end have been taken care of, and I will leave for the village in two days. Naturally, I will bring the only son left by his old friend with me on this trip.
The child's name is Yan Zhen.In terms of age, he is considered an adult, but in the eyes of the elders, he is still a child.
Yan Zhen's father and Gu Zhuangzhu are also famous for casting weapons. It was not because he was too weak compared to Gu Zhuangzhu that he had to retire. In addition, his wife passed away more than ten years ago, and he has been depressed since then, and he has no interest in everything, and then simply retired to the countryside with the family wealth accumulated over the years and his only son.Even if they retired and lived in a small village in the countryside, they still received requests from time to time to ask them to make weapons.Yan Zhen's father would occasionally accept, but most of the time he refused, and later Yan Zhen took some jobs that were inconvenient to refuse on behalf of his father.When he was nine years old, he forged the first weapon in his life that became famous - the Yanwei Boring, which was about one and a half feet long and had a front with sharp ends like a spear. There is a sharp edge on the ridge. At that time, Yang Hui, the general of Huaihua, asked his father to build it. His father could not refuse, but he had no intention of making it. When he was in trouble, he drew the shape, and it took about a month and a half. , and only led the two old slaves in the village to forge such a weapon that can benefit from the four techniques of turning, teasing, scooping, and biting according to what General Huaihua said, and named it Yanwei Boring. As soon as he came out, his father took a few glances, and it was rare to see some expressions in his eyes that he hadn't seen in the past few years. When he sent the weapon to General Huaihua, he didn't mention that sharp weapon to him. It was made by Yan Zhen, and General Huaihua used it right away, and it was very smooth. After about three years, I realized that it was made by a child with a yellow mouth. I only laughed a few times, and asked him to fight again. Make two pieces and keep them on the weapon rack in your house.
Since then, Yan Zhen's reputation has spread.It's just that he was the only one and a few servants who were getting older in their small village. Although they hired a few more strong ones later, they couldn't compare with Qingcheng Villa, which could manufacture weapons on a large scale.Therefore, although he has been well-known in the past few years, he has not received many jobs in his hands. It is not easy to produce six or seven weapons a year.However, all the utensils that come from him are famous, such as saw-wing boring, silver jiaoluo, ox horn mace and so on.
Ever since his father fell ill with an illness, Yan Zhen often thought about taking a few servants to guard this village in the future, but his father insisted on entrusting him to a friend so that he could take care of him in the future, and he could not disobey his father The last wish before he died, he was worried that his father would leave even if he left.When his father died, he thought that he would have to dismiss the slaves, pack up the gold and silver, and go back to their villa with the second housekeeper of Qingcheng Villa, but those who are strong at home still refuse to leave , he had to follow the young master, and for the elderly, he had to consider that they had no wives and children, and were naked and alone, who could follow if they didn't follow him. In the end, the old and young house slaves had six Mingdu had to follow him to the Qingcheng faction.
For Yan Zhen's arrival, Master Gu was naturally very happy.Master Gu is naturally a decent person. Although he mourns the death of his best friend in his heart, he can't help but think that with this highly talented apprentice entering the door, the door will surely become even more powerful, and Yan Zhen will be recruited under the door. Compared with such a piece of material Putting it outside the door will make him feel more at ease.Master Gu knew in his heart that this little nephew's aptitude was unsurpassed, several times better than his own son's.His son Gu Qingcheng is naturally well-known, and he also has a certain reputation in the matter of forging weapons, but the weapons made by him are always inexplicably dim when placed next to those made by Yan Zhen.Owner Gu felt that with Yan Zhen and his son in the villa, the foundation created by the ancestors of his Gu family would stand for at least a few more generations and would not perish.
Apart from his joy at Yan Zhen's arrival, the men and women in the village are also like this. The male disciple has long heard of this man's name outside, and now he is finally in the same school as him, so he naturally wants to see him being treated by an outsider. An extremely legendary qualification.When the female disciple heard that he was tall and handsome, naturally, she felt a little yearning in her heart, wanting to meet this kind of man with a romantic character and an extraordinary personality.Among the female disciples of the sect, most of those who are over eighteen are married, and most of them are worthy to work in the villa or are male disciples of the same sect, while many of the remaining ones who are only sixteen or seventeen are unmarried For the past few days, I have been eagerly looking forward to that Yan Zhen arriving sooner, after all, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times.
There is only one person who is not very happy these days, and that is Gu Qingcheng.When he thought of the arrival of such a man who was several years younger than him, but more manly than him, and more talented in weapon forging than him, he felt uncomfortable all over his body.In the past few days, I have no intention of eating and drinking, and my troubles are hard to solve.To this day, it has been foggy all day long, which made him unable to resolve the unhappiness in his chest.
In the evening, when the dust and mist finally dissipated, he also pushed open the window, and saw a layer of water vapor on the window drawers, probably brought by the previous fog, which showed how thick the previous fog was.After opening the window, he sat back in front of the round table, holding a fork on the table, and was weighing a kind of yellowish powder called Wuburong. He was making ingredients—a weapon he was making Sharper and stronger material.I thought to myself: Everyone praises you as such a capable person, but I want to see what kind of monster you are.
