Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the old man was slightly surprised: "Do you recognize this game?"
"Yes, I recognize it."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Mr. Linghu, I think you have been troubled by the Tianyuan Bureau for a long time, right?"
"That's right."
The old man nodded.
"Mr. Linghu, if I can crack the Tianyuan Bureau, would you consider forging a knife for me?"
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and asked.
"Can you crack it?"
The old man opened his eyes wide, really surprised.
"Haha, how about giving it a try?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
The old man hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, as long as you can crack the Tianyuan Bureau, I will consider forging a knife for you!"
"A gentleman's word is his bond!"
"It's hard to catch up with him!"
Xiao Chen smiled. When he lived with the old fortune teller before, he had seen the Tianyuan Bureau and also seen the method to crack it!
It’s just that the method to crack the code has not been passed down to the world, and the ancient book that recorded it somehow fell into the hands of an old fortune teller!
Therefore, Xiao Chen can easily crack this Tianyuan game!
He just glanced across the chessboard, and after making sure it was exactly the same as the Tianyuan game he had seen, he picked up the black piece.
In this game, you have to make the black piece fall first to break the game!
The old man stood aside and watched carefully.
Bang!
When the black piece fell down, the old man felt that everything in front of him became clear, as if this game of chess had come to life!
"hehe."
Xiao Chen noticed the old man's expression and smiled. It seemed that this old man was also a master!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted like this!
Afterwards, Xiao Chen made another move with white pieces, bringing another large area to life!
"Alive, alive, really alive!"
The old man looked at the black and white pieces on the chessboard and muttered to himself.
Clap, clap, clap.
With a few moves, the whole chess game comes alive!
"Mr. Linghu, do you need me to continue?"
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and asked with a smile.
"No need, I'll do it next!"
The old man shook his head and picked up the white piece.
"How about this, I'll play with Mr. Linghu, you play the white pieces, and I play the black pieces!"
Xiao Chen smiled. The biggest difficulty of the Tianyuan Bureau is that it is a dead end!
As long as the chess piece comes alive, the rest will be much easier!
The old man glanced at Xiao Chen and nodded: "Okay."
The two men, one with white pieces and the other with black pieces, started playing.
Although Xiao Chen guessed that the old man was a master, he was still quite casual at the beginning.
But he soon became serious. This old man's chess skills are definitely better than the old man of the Han family!
Moreover, his chess style is similar to that of Mr. Han, bold and aggressive, very domineering!
However, Mr. Han pays more attention to the overall layout and is in charge of the entire army!
After all, he once led a huge army, and this is also reflected in his chess style!
And this old man is even more fierce and domineering, like a sword out of its sheath, revealing its sharp edge!
Xiao Chen was not paying attention and was defeated by the old man, almost losing the situation!
Xiao Chen was secretly shocked. How could an old blacksmith be so domineering?
This is simply impossible!
In the chess game, Xiao Chen felt that his opponent was more like a peerless master, and each of his moves was a brilliant move!
In fact, it wasn’t just Xiao Chen who was shocked, even the old man was shocked!
Who is this young man?
So young, yet so murderous!
Beside them, Bai Ye, Vulcan and the old man’s three apprentices were watching the excitement.
Although the God of Fire didn't know how to play chess, he could feel the aura that made his heart palpitate from the chessboard!
The God of Fire glanced at the old man, his eyes filled with horror!
The old man's three apprentices also frowned, looking at the chess pieces on the board, moving back and forth, crisscrossing!
Only Bai Ye was an outsider who just watched the fun.
Bang!
When Xiao Chen's piece fell, the old man smiled.
"My friend, how about a draw in this game?"
"good."
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded, the game of chess could no longer be played!
Both he and the old man are checking and balancing each other!
"What a joy! Not only did I see the Tianyuan game being broken with my own eyes, but I also met a friend who was my worthy opponent. What a joy!"
The old man laughed, picked up a gourd next to him, and took a few big gulps like a whale sucking water.
Xiao Chen sniffed. The gourd was not filled with water, but wine, and it was strong liquor!
"Tell me, what kind of knife do you want to forge?"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"It's like this, Mr. Linghu, I want you to help me make a replica of a knife!"
Xiao Chen said to the old man.
"presumptuous!"
As Xiao Chen finished speaking, a shirtless bearded man next to him shouted angrily.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and looked at the bearded man.
"Who is my master? How dare you ask my master to imitate a sword? Are you insulting my master?!"
The bearded man stared at Xiao Chen and spoke loudly.
“…”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Imitation knife was an insult?
He looked at his other two disciples again, and they were also staring at him!
"Master, please don't be angry. I will drive them away right away!"
The bearded man said this and reached out to grab Xiao Chen.
"stop!"
Before he could touch Xiao Chen, the old man spoke.
"Yes, Master."
The bearded man withdrew his hand and took a step back, but still stared at Xiao Chen.
"My dear friend, I never imitate knives. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you!"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and said lightly.
“I see.”
Xiao Chen frowned.
"Mr. Linghu, the sword I want to imitate is a famous sword."
"What a joke! What kind of famous swords has my master not seen in his life?"
The bearded man sneered.
"Mr. Linghu has never seen this knife before!"
Xiao Chen glanced at the bearded man and became angry.
"Nonsense, tell me, which knife is it?"
The bearded man glared.
"The sword forged by Emperor Xuanyuan is named Xuanyuan!"
Xiao Chen spoke slowly.
"Emperor Xuanyuan? Ha, are you talking nonsense? I have only heard of the Xuanyuan Sword, but never heard of the Xuanyuan Knife!"
The bearded man laughed mockingly.
The old man was shocked. The sword forged by Emperor Xuanyuan was named Xuanyuan?
"How come there isn't? You are so ignorant!"
Xiao Chen sneered, took out his cell phone, and found the photo of the Xuanyuan Sword.
"Who knows where you found this..."
Before the bearded man could finish his words, the old man took the phone.
When he saw the appearance of the knife clearly, his eyes couldn't help but shrink. It was really the Xuanyuan Sword!
Xiao Chen had also been paying attention to the old man's reaction, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw him like this.
Just now, he had a guess that this old man was definitely not an ordinary blacksmith, but might be a hermit master!
It’s just that Bai Ye didn’t know him, so he thought he was a famous blacksmith!
Now seeing his reaction, Xiao Chen became even more certain.
How could a blacksmith know about Xuanyuan Sword?
"The Xuanyuan Blade fell into your hands?"
The old man raised his head, looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Does Mr. Linghu know you?"
Xiao Chen neither admitted nor denied it, but asked.
"You are Xiao Chen, right? And you are the famous God of Fire in the Western world?"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and Vulcan and said something shocking.
“…”
Xiao Chen and Vulcan were shocked.
Especially the latter, his face changed!
"Back then, there was news on Xuanyuan Mountain that the Xuanyuan Blade fell into the hands of the God of Fire! A while ago, there were rumors that the Xuanyuan Blade was in Longhai, in the hands of a man named 'Xiao Chen'! And you came to me to imitate the Xuanyuan Blade, obviously you got the news and wanted to pass the fake off as the real thing!"
The old man looked at the two of them and spoke slowly.
"I never thought that what happened on Xuanyuan Mountain was a trap! Everyone thought that the Xuanyuan Blade fell into the hands of the God of Fire, but I didn't expect that it has been in your hands all along!"
“…”
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and felt a little regretful!
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you! A gentleman loves a knife, but he gets it in a proper way!"
The old man shook his head and said.
"May I know your name, old sir?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and asked.
"What's your name? Haha, I've been in seclusion for many years, so I only use the surname Linghu. It's better not to mention your name!"
The old man smiled and shook his head.
After hearing what the old man said, Xiao Chen stopped asking.
He knew that it would be useless even if he asked!
"It seems that the news outside has also put pressure on you, so you want to copy it to divert your attention!"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and spoke slowly.
"That's right."
Xiao Chen nodded and admitted it.
"Where is the Xuanyuan Sword?"
The old man asked.
"In a very safe place."
"I can help you imitate the Xuanyuan Sword, but you have to agree to one condition."
The old man thought for a moment and said.
"What conditions?"
Xiao Chen perked up a little and asked.
"In the future, when the storm is over, lend me the Xuanyuan Sword for three days!"
The old man said in a deep voice.
Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Chen's face changed slightly. Borrowing a knife for three days?
“Don’t worry, if I want to take the knife away, you will definitely not be able to leave today.”
The old man said with a smile.
"I will return it to you within three days!"
Xiao Chen looked at the old man deeply, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.
"good!"
"Come and get the knife in three days!"
Seeing that Xiao Chen agreed, the old man said it very happily.
“So soon?”
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"Yes, I will make a knife for you in three days, and you can lend it to me for three days in the future!"
The old man nodded.
"Um."
Xiao Chen also nodded, considering it a gentleman's agreement.
"Go, print out the photos!"
The old man said to his third apprentice.
"Yes, Master."
At this point, the three disciples no longer objected. Judging from their master’s reaction, this Xuanyuan Sword was awesome!
"Xiao Chen, who is your master?"
The old man asked, thinking of something.
"Haha, my master has told me not to reveal his name when traveling around the world."
Xiao Chen smiled and didn't say much.
He didn't know anything about this old man at all. If this old man had a grudge against the old fortune teller, then the three of them would probably be in big trouble.
"So that's how it is. I understand."
The old man nodded.
Soon, the three apprentices finished printing and handed it to the old man.
After the old man asked some more details, he had an idea.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Chen and the other two left.
"call……"
Only after getting on the car and driving a few hundred meters away did Vulcan breathe a sigh of relief and slumped down in his seat, feeling somewhat powerless.
Just now, his heart was in suspense and his body was tense!
They were afraid that the old man would take action, and then they would be doomed!
Now, I can finally relax.
