Ding-ding-ding-ding.

The sound of blacksmithing is endless.

Blacksmith Zhang's hammer keeps falling, over and over again.

Not far away, Xiao Chen looked like an old monk in meditation, with his eyes closed and motionless.

Only Zhang San looked at Xiao Chen from time to time. What could he really understand?

A few hours passed by in a flash.

During this period, neither Zhang Tiejiang nor Xiao Chen had any communication.

It wasn't until Blacksmith Zhang finished shaping the sword and stopped the hammer in his hand that Xiao Chen opened his eyes.

"Congratulations, senior, for hitting a demigod weapon."

Xiao Chen looked at the sword in Zhang Blacksmith's hand and said with a smile.

This sword is better than the sword last time.

"If it's not a magic weapon, why would you like it?"

Blacksmith Zhang shook his head, still not satisfied.

"You're not going to destroy it again, are you?"

Xiao Chen twitched his lips, isn't it such a waste?

“If you don’t destroy something you don’t like, what’s the use of keeping it?”

After Blacksmith Zhang finished speaking, he threw the sword into the furnace.

Without any further instructions from him, Zhang San began to blow up the air and increase the fire volume.

"..."

Xiao Chen looked at the sword in the stove and shook his head slightly, what a pity.

"Come on, let's go out and drink tea."

Blacksmith Zhang wiped his hands and said to Xiao Chen.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded, stood up and followed.

"What a pity, what a pity..."

After the two of them left, Zhang San looked at the sword and muttered something, but still didn't take it out.

Outside, the two of them sat down and drank tea.

"Is there any harvest this time?"

Blacksmith Zhang took a sip of tea and asked.

"Well, this time seems different from last time."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"The effect is greater."

"hehe."

Zhang Tiejiang smiled, it seemed that he could really hear it, it was not nonsense.

"Do you know where I learned my blacksmithing skills?"

"have no idea."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Could it be passed down from your ancestors?"

"You're really right."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"Then do you know where my ancestors learned it from?"

"Didn't you say yesterday that your ancestors went out to learn skills from others? They must have learned them from outside."

Xiao Chen looked at Blacksmith Zhang and smiled.

He wanted to see how Zhang Tiejiang would edit it.

"We didn't know each other well yesterday, so some of the things I said were half-truths and half-false... You and I are in love, so there are some things that I can say to you."

Zhang Tiejiang was not embarrassed at all and said calmly.

"All ears."

Xiao Chen sat up straight. Is Zhang Tiejiang going to tell him something?

"It is said that my ancestor... was Emperor Xuanyuan's sword slave."

Blacksmith Zhang said slowly.

"Sword slave?"

Xiao Chen's eyes widened when he heard Zhang Tiejiang's words.

Although he had some guesses, this identity... still surprised him.

From the identity of the 'Guardian', he guessed that the Guardian should be related to Emperor Xuanyuan.

But the specific relationship is impossible to guess.

"Haha, I just heard it, because it was too long ago, and it was only passed down by word of mouth."

Blacksmith Zhang smiled.

"It is passed down from ancestor to father, and from father to son...it is passed down from generation to generation."

"What is this 'sword slave' you just mentioned?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously.

"What's your identity?"

"The sword slave... is the one who specializes in helping Emperor Xuanyuan forge iron weapons. Of course, he only serves as a hand."

Zhang Tiejiang explained.

"But even so, his status and level are extremely extraordinary... After all, he is following Emperor Xuanyuan, who is the Human Emperor."

"really."

Xiao Chen nodded, let alone the Emperor's sword slave, even a dog raised by the Emperor was more powerful than dogs from other places.

This sword slave was called "slave" in front of Emperor Xuanyuan, but in the eyes of outsiders, he must be a well-known big shot.

"Whether it's true or not, it's been passed down like this and cannot be verified... However, I am indeed one of the guardians of this place."

Blacksmith Zhang took another sip of tea.

"There is indeed Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo here."

"..."

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed and he stared at Zhang Tiejiang.

"The Ghost King too?"

"yes."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"When he was young, he left Xuanyuan Town and came back two or three times a year... His ancestors also followed Emperor Xuanyuan."

"I see."

Xiao Chen suddenly realized that the ancestors of these guardians all followed Emperor Xuanyuan.

Then, their descendants will guard here.

In this case, it makes sense and can be explained.

"Besides you two, is there anyone else?"

Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked again.

"Of course, if it's not convenient for you to tell me, you don't have to say it."

"It's really inconvenient."

Blacksmith Zhang nodded.

"..."

Xiao Chen was speechless, you are still really here.

"The reason I'm telling you is because a vision has appeared, and maybe the time has come."
