Lu Tianlin looked around the hall that had returned to silence, with a pleased smile on his face, "Things that can be solved with money are all small things. Although my Lu family's property has shrunk, I can still make money back if I lose it. Don't
Keep it in mind, your courage is more important than anything else."
Lu Ming nodded. No matter what, the Lu family's property has shrunk by two-thirds! For a swordsman like me, it's not a big deal. But for the family, which has always been one of the top ten richest men in Yuanzhou,
For a clan member who considers himself the leader, this is undoubtedly a very powerful blow. I am afraid that when I walk on the street in the future, I will inevitably be pointed at by others.
But my father never blamed me from beginning to end. This is the most important thing. It is enough for my son to have such a father.
"I know that if the money is gone, we can make it back again. We will definitely make it back. Father, please go and take a rest first."
Seeing Lu Ming's indifferent but determined eyes, Lu Tianlin nodded with satisfaction, laughed heartily and walked away.
Lu Ming took out a stack of banknotes and said, "Come here, take Qing'er to heal her injuries. I want the best doctor in Tiandu City to treat her."
"This upstart."
As soon as Ouyang Luo came in, he saw Lu Ming holding a banknote in his hand and not caring about spending money. He immediately smiled bitterly and dodged Qing'er and his party, who were being carried by the servants of the Lu family, and said: "I heard that someone is here to cause trouble, and
It’s more than just one wave, tell me who they are.”
Lu Ming glanced at the unsheathed steel sword in Ouyang Luo's hand and knew that this guy must have come with a desperate attitude. If I just say a word now, he will definitely not care about the consequences. This is too impulsive. Control yourself.
Emotions are also an important component of becoming a swordsman.
That’s right, control!
It can be as small as controlling the body, controlling emotions, controlling thinking, controlling meridians, controlling Qi, even controlling the vitality of the world around you, and controlling the situation...
There is no difference in size among any of these items. Each item is an indispensable factor for becoming a swordsman. Lu Ming frowned and said: "As a swordsman, your sword should not be unsheathed at will."
After looking around the hall, Ouyang Luo put away the steel sword, but thought in his heart, "This upstart has really changed. If he encountered someone making trouble before, he would have rushed up to him, but now he teaches me a lesson."
"It's okay. The troublemakers are all gone. Now that they're here, help me turn on the bellows." Lu Ming said indifferently.
"Bellows?" Ouyang Luo looked at Lu Ming strangely, but he turned around and walked away. Where is the bellows used? Blacksmith shop, what is this prodigal son doing?
But strangely enough, Ouyang Luodan still followed Lu Ming, also wanting to know what he was going to do.
Lu Ming walked onto the street, his indifferent expression ignoring all the strange looks coming from everywhere, and his mind was constantly searching. The Lu family's property had shrunk significantly, but some of it still remained.
After hundreds of years of development, the Lu family's heritage is not comparable to that of a real nouveau riche like Fatty Tan. Among them, the Lu family is not just a shop, but a set of industries. As the foundation of the Lu family,
Its function can fully maintain the normal operation of the developed Lu family, and it is famous for its blacksmith shop. After all, in the world of swordsmen, every swordsman hopes to have a sword of his own.
"The Lu family's blacksmith shop."
Lu Ming stood still and looked up at the simple handwriting on the plaque. The scene of the Lu family's ancestors working hard to build the business came to mind.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he had completely integrated into this body. He sighed softly. Even the most indifferent person would be moved if he stood in his position.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Lu, the swords here are second to none in Tiandu City."
Ouyang Luo nodded approvingly. When he first entered the Sword Academy, he thought about it countless times. One day, I will hold a sharp sword and stand at the top of the swordsmanship. What came to my mind at that time was
It is a good sword from the Lu family.
After glancing at the sunset, Lu Ming said, "Let's go in."
"Hey, the eldest young master is here."
As soon as Lu Ming walked in, an older shopkeeper came over to him. He was a little thin, with a standard smile on his face when doing business all year round. His gray beard looked very stylish, but he just came in by himself, so he needed it.
Say it that loudly?
"Ah! He is indeed our young master."
A boy in the backyard was holding the door open and watching. He quickly ran all the way into the backyard and shouted in a depressed voice: "Uncle Sha, the young master is here, the young master is here."
Uncle Sha is a hammersmith. When he heard the news, he almost choked on the tea bowl in his hand, and his face suddenly darkened, "This loser has come to get a good sword to give away again. You all put down your hands and get a good sword quickly."
Hide them all."
"No, I have to stop him." The hammersmith quickly put down the tea bowl, but felt a little worried, and ordered: "Listen carefully, whoever hides poorly and is found by the young master will pay!"
After looking around again, Uncle Sha strode forward with relief and blocked the passage between the backyard and the lobby. Even though his young master was useless, only he, a hammersmith, could resist for a while.
"Master, the backyard is hot and dirty. You'd better go to the hall." Uncle Sha said when he saw Lu Ming coming.
Lu Ming saw a stalwart middle-aged man, with grease glistening on his hunched muscles. It was obvious that he had just finished forging. He knew that this man was a hammersmith named Uncle Sha.
But there was no sound of forging inside at all, and there were people blocking the way here. Lu Ming frowned. Why did he feel like these people were like 'the wolf is coming' when they saw him? The young master really did this job.
It was so brilliant that it scared everyone so much.
Lu Ming could only sigh. At this point, he knew how evil his body had been in the past.
"I'll go inside and have a look." Lu Ming knew that these people also wanted the Lu family's good, so he didn't feel embarrassed.
Uncle Sha snorted in his heart and almost said, 'You say that every time'. Seeing that Lu Ming's indifferent face still showed no expression at all, Uncle Sha was at a loss.
Chai's prodigal son caused trouble, and the Lu family's wealth had long been ruined. From the corner of his eye, he saw a young apprentice making a gesture, and then he laughed: "Young master, if you want to see it, then of course you have to see it."
Lu Ming nodded and took Ouyang Luo in. He saw several waiters pretending to be busy and had no time to talk to him. There was also a waiter who didn't seem to know where the sword was hidden and was hesitating whether to hide it.
In clothes...
Lu Ming looked around and said: "Give me an iron furnace, a set of blacksmithing tools, all types of hammers, thirty kilograms of iron ingots, well, three kilograms of red iron, one kilogram of blue-grained steel, stars
Half a pound of steel, that’s all for now.”
"Here...get ready, hurry up."
Uncle Sha, who was relieved when he didn't see the young master looking for a good sword, was dumbfounded again, especially when he saw that Lu Ming seemed to have something he hadn't thought of yet and would think of wanting it again later. The corners of Uncle Sha's eyes twitched, and he was red.
Iron is the best material for the spine of the sword, and its value is equal to that of silver. The blue-grained steel is ten times as valuable as silver, and the star steel... is five times as valuable as gold!
Sighing secretly, Uncle Sha's painful flesh trembled slightly. This prodigal son wasted a good thing! He secretly took a look at the hidden sword, and Uncle Sha felt better.
The other guys shook their heads when they saw their young master's extremely serious yet sickly fair appearance. They all sighed that the young master had so many tricks. You hid the sword, but he just liked the raw materials.
Isn't this a waste of things?
The young man who first saw Lu Minglai curled his lips and shook his head, secretly saying: "Look, look, you are still playing with the hammer there, don't you recognize it? You need to take a closer look, right? Hey! Do you think you can be a blacksmith just by yourself?
?When you catch your wrist later, you won't waste it anymore."
"If there's a fire, turn on the bellows."
Hearing Lu Ming's indifferent voice, Ouyang Luo didn't say anything. He directly held the handle of the bellows with one hand and pulled it up. The wind was quickly sent into the combustion chamber of the iron furnace, blowing the charcoal fire and making it brighter and brighter.
Lu Ming quietly watched the flames that rose and fell with the wind, his brain already spinning, wanting to forge a good sword, good forging materials, good skills, control of the fire... and the closeness of every process.
Combination, one of them is indispensable.
That's right! Lu Ming wanted to forge swords. Once on Earth, Lu Ming often forged swords. In order to prove his skill in forging swords, he even auctioned them at an auction house. As a result, they were sold by famous collectors at a sky-high price.
It is regarded as a treasure and becomes a family heirloom sword.
Lu Ming was not short of money at the time, and was very wealthy. In fact, forging swords was just to prove and pursue the way of swordsmanship from another aspect!
Lu Ming often asked himself, if a swordsman doesn't even know how to use a good sword, how can he become a true swordsman?
Being able to have a sharp and unique vision to recognize a good sword is more difficult than forging a good sword. This is the art of sword-making that only those who have reached the master level of forging can possess it!
The Art of Swordsmanship! The technique of being able to tell the quality of a sword at a glance. I have not yet mastered it. After all, everything has to be done step by step, and the basic course of the Art of Swordsmanship is to forge swords!
Every Xiangjian master was born as a blacksmith. In Lu Ming's understanding, Bole himself was once a member of Chollima.
Lu Ming couldn't help but think that in order to obtain a set of forging secrets, he even took on the task of assassinating a drug lord on a continent with tens of thousands of private troops...
That time he went there alone and completed the mission in only thirteen days. When he saw that the private soldiers and drug dealers didn't even know when his boss died, Lu Ming left with satisfaction, and by the way, he added more money to those who provided the mission.
Got some extra giveaways.
Lu Ming has always considered this set of secrets that he received after submitting the mission to be his greatest achievement, even far surpassing the top ten famous swords later. After all, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!
