"As expected! It's indeed something made by my great-grandfather himself!"
The old man in the blacksmith shop was very emotional, with tears in his eyes.
Then, he firmly grasped Lu Jingzhi's hand again and said solemnly, "My friend, I am willing to repair your spear for free. I only hope that you can cherish it in the future."
"This... isn't very good." Lu Jingzhi felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's okay. I just want to restore the treasure left by my great-grandfather."
Lu Jingzhi was filled with doubts and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, how do you know that my Red Tassel Spear was really made by your great-grandfather?"
He took the spear and examined it carefully, but did not find anything special about it.
"Young friends, look at the end of this gun barrel. There's a diamond-shaped symbol with a five-pointed star inside it. This is our family's unique totem." The old man said, looking at them. "Follow me, both of you."
Then, Lu Jingzhi and Yan An followed the old man into the blacksmith shop and walked out from the back door.
It turned out that outside the back door, there was a dilapidated small house. In the shed next to the house, there were a lot of refined iron, ore and other iron ores used for refining tools.
The iron ore is piled up layer by layer, looking quite messy.
The old man led the master and his apprentice into the house. What caught their eyes was an altar with tokens placed on it.
In the center of the token, there is a yellowed book made of kraft paper, placed on a shelf in the center.
"Please take a seat, both of you."
The two of them sat on a carved wooden chair nearby, and the uncle took a teapot to boil water and make tea for them.
Lu Jingzhi and Yan An looked at each other, their hearts filled with curiosity.
At this moment, the old man slowly picked up the yellowed book from the altar, then walked steadily to the two of them and gently opened the first page.
He said to them with a smile: "Please take a look."
Lu Jingzhi took the book with curiosity and his eyes quickly fell on the first page.
There was a pattern on the page that was exactly the same as the red tasseled spear.
Below the pattern was a line of ancient and simple text, clearly inscribed with the six words "Yan Family Weapon Refining Method".
Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Grandpa, this was actually made by your great-grandfather! This is such a coincidence!"
The old man smiled slightly and said with emotion: "Yes, this may be the arrangement of fate!"
Then, he took a sip of tea and continued, "But you don't have to worry, since my great-grandfather gave this spear to your ancestor..."
"And your ancestors passed it on to you, so naturally I won't take it back."
"After all, every country has its own laws, and every industry has its own rules."
“Once something has been given or sold, there is no reason to ask for it back.”
“Unless the current holder agrees, doing so will not only damage one’s reputation but will also earn one the disdain and scorn of one’s peers.”
After hearing his explanation, Lu Jingzhi nodded, "Of course I believe you, Senior. However, I, Lu Jingzhi, will not ask you to help me repair it for nothing, so, as for the price..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't need that little money. I only have one request, and that is to treat this red tassel spear well, so that it can once again break into the battle line and kill the enemy, and play its due role."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingzhi stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, his face solemn, "Senior, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
He laughed and said hello three times.
Then, the two of them started chatting about everything from refining weapons to his accidental trip to the Yin-Yang Realm...
"This Yin and Yang realm is truly amazing!" the master and disciple exclaimed.
"Yes, I'm afraid we can only go to the Yin and Yang Realm to take a look after we die."
Lu Jingzhi listened to their sighs and touched his nose. "Actually, we don't want to stay there. It's so dead and gloomy that it's really uncomfortable."
The old man smiled and took a sip of tea. "This should be uncomfortable for the living. On the other hand, for the dead, isn't it different?"
"Senior, what you said makes sense."
Dusk gradually fell and the bright sky gradually dimmed.
"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first." As he spoke, he took out the broken seventh-level spear from the ring and handed it to his calloused hands.
"I'll leave this gun in your hands."
He took the red tassel spear and said, "Well, come back and take it after seven days."
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Senior."
After exchanging greetings and saying goodbye, he sent Lu Jingzhi and Yan An out the door and waved goodbye.
At this time, the two of them walked hand in hand and came to the bustling night market.
"Madam, let's buy some delicious food and take it back. Nan Ye hasn't eaten yet."
"Well, let's buy some stir-fried dishes and some soup."
"good."
…
Siheyuan
After practicing for a day, Nan Ye just broke through one star, from the two stars in the Xuanling realm to the current three stars.
Gurgle gurgle…
Nan Ye opened his eyes and touched his flat belly with both hands, "Why haven't Brother Lu and Sister Yan An come back yet?"
She muttered to herself, stood up from the ground, patted her butt, and said, "Forget it, I'd better go out and buy it myself. With Sister Yan An's formation, it should be fine."
Then she opened the door and walked out.
At this time, in the dark clouds, a man wearing a golden mask was sitting cross-legged a thousand meters above the house.
Sometimes he closed his eyes to practice, and sometimes he looked into the courtyard with a complex and sad look in his eyes.
When Nan Ye walked to the market, he happened to meet the master and his disciple.
Lu Jingzhi asked, "Nan Ye, why did you come out?"
Nan Ye felt helpless and aggrieved, "I'm hungry (ˉ﹃ˉ?)"
