Chapter 1 Beginning, Lizhu Cave Sky,
Small town!
Blacksmith shop!
"Ding-ding-dang-dang..."
The sound of hammering is endless!
"Brother Chu Ci!"
A girl in green clothes ran in furiously and shouted excitedly as soon as she reached the door:
"Brother Chu Ci, daddy asked you to go home!"
"Oh?"
The sound of forging stopped, and a young man put down his work, turned around, and said angrily:
"Master looks at me like I'm a yellow-haired man. Why are you suddenly willing to ask me to go home today?"
Every father feels uncomfortable when he sees his cabbage being taken away from him.
So when he was ten years old, his master told him that blacksmithing was too noisy, so he came to Mu Bottle Alley in the west to start his own business.
However, this obviously cannot prevent the two young girls from meeting each other. On the contrary, the girl spends more time in his blacksmith shop every day than at home.
I wonder if Master has any regrets?
"Pfft, Xiu Xiu doesn't know either!"
Ruan Xiu covered her lips and smiled when she heard the words. She was already used to the unfamiliar words that often popped out of Chu Ci's mouth. She was born to see through people's hearts, so she could still understand the meaning of Chu Ci's words.
"Xiuxiu, the food is on the counter!"
Despite the teasing, Chu Ci immediately went to the sink to wash up, change clothes, and go home with Ruan Xiu.
Without the kindness of master Ruan Qiong to raise him, Chu Ci would have died long ago. He is not a white-eyed wolf.
Ruan Xiu opened a food box next to the counter, which contained her favorite snacks. Brother Chu Ci knew her favorite food, so she always had it when she came.
"But I see that dad's face looks very serious this time."
Ruan Xiu used both hands, and his cheeks suddenly bulged, like a greedy little hamster.
"Okay, let's go, don't keep the master waiting."
After Chu Ci finished washing, he took a kettle and handed it to Ruan Xiu.
"Let's go!"
"Gulu..."
Ruan Xiu, who almost choked, took it and drank several mouthfuls before she recovered.
"Okay!"
Ruan Xiu kept up with Chu Ci, and of course she didn't forget to pick up the food box and eat as she walked.
The blacksmith shop was left open. Anyway, after several "supernatural incidents", no one in the town dared to come to Chuci's blacksmith shop to steal anything.
It's just that the residents of the town don't dare to steal, but the strange faces that have appeared in the town in recent days don't know.
Not long after Chu Ci left, a young man in brocade clothes and a tall old man walked towards Mubo Alley, but when they passed by Chu Ci's blacksmith shop, their steps suddenly stopped.
The two of them turned their eyes to Chu Ci's blacksmith shop. After ignoring the large pile of farm tools, their eyes locked on the only sword hanging on the wall of the main hall.
His eyes suddenly condensed!
……
Chu Ci, who was unaware of this, quickly rushed home with Ruan Xiu.
The two pushed the door open and walked in. Compared to the heat of Chu Ci's blacksmith shop, the stove in this blacksmith shop was already covered with dust.
There was only one man with a strong build lying on the recliner, swaying leisurely.
Since Chu Ci established his own business, Ruan Qiong has driven all the work to his blacksmith shop, leaving him free.
When he saw the two people who came in, especially the intimate way Chu Ci stretched out his hand to wipe the crumbs from Ruan Xiu's mouth, the corner of the man's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
This kid definitely did this in front of him on purpose.
But if one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, what can I do? well!
Ruan Qiong said helplessly:
"Xiuxiu, you go ahead and eat while I have something to talk with this brat!"
"Go ahead, I'll take you to play later!"
At Chu Ci's signal, Ruan Xiucai went to rest somewhere else and concentrated on cooking.
This made Ruan Qiong's face darken again!
"Boy, I really regret bringing a wolf into my house. I should have let you, a wolf cub, starve to death!"
Ruan Qiong glanced at Chu Ci fiercely.
"Hey, master, what do you want to do with your apprentice?"
Chu Ci moved a small bench and sat next to Ruan Qiong. Of course he knew that Ruan Qiong was just talking angrily.
"I have become the candidate to be the leader of this Lizhudong world."
Ruan Qiong went straight to the point and told Chu Ci to get out as soon as possible. Out of sight, out of mind.
"Congratulations, master!"
Chu Ci congratulated him with a smile!
"But the sky in Lizhu Cave is about to collapse!"
Ruan Qiong said again!
"That's a pity. The peaceful days are gone!"
Chu Ci shrugged, saying it was a pity, but his face showed more indifference.
At this moment, Ruan Qiong looked at Chu Ci carefully:
"Boy, did you know this would happen?"
Ten years ago, it was Chu Ci's suggestion that Ruan Qiong chose to move into this Lizhu Cave.
"Master, what do you think?"
Chu Ci's smile remained unchanged, without nodding or denying.
"Do you know why I object to you and Xiuxiu being together?"
Ruan Qiong did not answer Chu Ci's words, but changed the subject.
"Master, haven't you told me before? You dislike your disciple for being a playboy, and you can't treat Xiuxiu wholeheartedly."
"You have some self-awareness, kid, but not much."
Ruan Qiong gave Chu Ci a hard look and spent all day together with the girl from the Li family, pretending that he didn't know.
"Are there others?"
Chu Ci has infinite curiosity about this.
"I'm afraid that my daughter will become a widow at such a young age!"
Ruan Qiong Wangtian sighed with emotion, knowing from birth that there are not many people like this in the world, such as the girl from the Li family, which is why Chu Ci came to talk to her. But compared to the girl from the Li family, who also knew everything from birth, Chu Ci knew too much, too much.
"You should know very well that people who know too much often don't live long!"
"Master, I'm just a fool who works in the iron industry. How much do I know?"
Chu Ci scratched his head and tried to appear as honest as possible.
"Crack!"
The one who greeted Chu Ci was Ruan Qiong who slapped him on the forehead with two fingers. It was Ruan Qiong who raised Chu Ci since he was a child. Chu Ci still wanted to fool him?
"There is more than one world, and there are countless strong ones. Your master, the so-called saint, is just a big ant in the eyes of some people.
Therefore, others are eager to hide as far away as possible, but how about you jump in and join the game yourself? Have you read too many storybooks? ”
Ruan Qiong raised his hand as a gesture to give Chu Ci another blow, which frightened Chu Ci and quickly moved a stool to hide away.
"Master, you should know Xiuxiu's identity better than I do. If I, the elder brother, don't take the lead, then Xiu Xiu will have to take the lead. I, Chu Ci, can't do it."
Chu Ci was not pretending to be crazy, but said with great solemnity and determination:
"Anyway, I've already died once, so what's the harm in dying again?"
"That's all!"
Ruan Qiong, who was about to get up and chase Chu Ci, shook his head and sat down again. No one could persuade him to do something that his disciple believed.
"Since you want to win, you must have capital. How many swords have you made?"
"Three handles!"
Seeing that Ruan Qiong stopped trying to persuade him, Chu Ci's expression softened.
"Three handles? Well, just three handles?"
Upon hearing this answer, Ruan Qiong immediately jumped up, picked up the recliner and wanted to hit Chu Ci.
"Master, stop, stop, Old Yangtou gave me three high-quality caves. There is nothing I can do, but my disciple has cast all the sword bodies. As long as new caves are smelted into them, the sword can be made."
Chu Ci quickly finished the rest of his words in one breath, not daring to tease Ruan Qiong in case the chair really hit him.
"Get out, get out as far as you want!"
Ruan Qiong felt that every time he saw this brat, his life would be shortened by several years.
"Okay!"
Chu Ci patted his butt, stood up, and greeted inside:
"Xiuxiu!"
"Coming, coming!"
Ruan Xiu stuffed all the last cakes into his mouth, ran out quickly, and couldn't wait to hold Chu Ci's hand and ran out.
"Bye, daddy!"
"The harvest that occurs once in sixty years has begun. There have been more foreigners coming recently. Be careful!"
Ruan Qiong closed his eyes, out of sight and out of mind!
"Don't worry, master. In this Lizhu Cave, even a saint like you may not be as powerful as your disciple."
The family of the Three Sects set up a forbidden magic circle in Lizhu Cave. Although it made it difficult for those who stayed in Dongtian Town to practice in Dongtian, people from outside Dongtian would also be temporarily suppressed and lose their ability to cultivate when they came to Lizhu Cave. for. Only the saint who is in charge of the center of the circle is not affected.
And Ruan Qiong has not succeeded yet, so he will naturally be suppressed.
"Alas!"
Ruan Qiong looked at the two people leaving, sighed sadly, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear:
"I originally thought that even if my daughter passes away, I will still have a son to take care of her until she is old, so that she will not be alone for the rest of her life. But now, maybe both of them are involved."
This is the real reason why Ruan Qiong really wants to prevent Chu Ci from being with Ruan Xiu. He doesn't want to involve Chu Ci in this crisis.
He wanted to protect Ruan Xiu, and he also wanted to protect Chu Ci, his "son" who had been raised since childhood.
"It's all my fault as a useless father!"
As Ruan Qiong himself said, in a sense, he, a saint, is just a bigger ant, so when the sky falls, he cannot withstand it.
Ruan Xiu was supposed to be the one to take the lead, but now Chu Ci wants to take it on his own.
"Now that things have happened, there is no way to turn back. I can only believe in that brat."
Ruan Qiong was in a trance, recalling a certain conversation with Chu Ci.
"Master, the sword cultivator is the most powerful among the Qi Refiners?"
"Yes!"
"But I heard someone say that the combat power of a 10th-level martial artist is comparable to that of an 11th-level swordsman!"
"Bad boy, what do you want to say?"
"Master, I was just thinking, if it were a martial arts sword cultivator at the 10th level, would it be more powerful? What about the 11th level, or even higher?"
"You brat, you've never heard that martial arts is a dead end? There are 15 levels in Qi training, but you've never heard of that martial artist reaching the 11th level."
"Master, you must have never heard of such a saying, right? There is no road in this world, but when there are more people walking, it becomes a road!"
"You brat, are you still teaching me? Are you a saint or am I a saint?"
"Xiu Xiu, help me!"
……
When Chu Ci and Ruan Xiu left and walked on the alley.
A young Taoist priest wearing an old Taoist robe came towards me. He wore a high crown on his head, like a blooming lotus.
"Daochang Lu!"
Chu Ci greeted him. He knew how terrifying the origin of this young Taoist priest was.
However, the two sides have been keeping peace with each other for so many years, and they are getting along well.
"Good morning, you two!"
The young Taoist priest responded with a smile, and when he looked at Chu Ci, there was more amusement in his eyes this time than usual.
Chu Ci pulled Ruan Xiu away, but just as the two sides passed each other and left, Ruan Xiu froze for a moment, and then suddenly pulled Chu Ci back:
"Brother Chu Ci, let's have some fun with fortune telling!"
He immediately caught up and stopped the young Taoist priest:
"Taoist Priest, please help us calculate the fate of our marriage."
