On the way back, Tang Zhen bought a jar of old wine and a few kilograms of cooked beef, and wandered back home.
The blacksmith was still banging the iron ingots, but his whole body was breathing fire, and the scene looked extremely strange.
Although the stove was burning, the temperature in the room was not high, and I even felt a faint chill.
Especially those weapons that had just been forged were gleaming with cold light, as if they could freeze people.
"You rest for a while, and I'll create something."
After hearing what Tang Zhen said, the blacksmith stepped aside with a respectful look.
The heavy hammer was extremely cold, with a layer of frost hanging on the surface, and the metal even turned into jade in some places.
Tang Zhen held the hammer in his hand like a straw stick, and at the same time picked up the iron ingot and struck it continuously.
The flames in the furnace seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, constantly licking the iron ingot and wrapping it up.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
The knocking sounds continued one after another, and the color of the iron ingot became whiter and whiter, and then began to turn golden again.
A special brilliance gradually spread out.
He stretched out his hand and struck to the side, and a long knife fell into Tang Zhen's hand. It was as if he was waving a brush and carving continuously on the long metal.
Mysterious and primitive runes kept appearing on the iron blocks, and soon the metal surface was fully carved.
"alright."
While Tang Zhen was speaking, he took out the mirror from his arms and threw it into the quenching pool next to it.
"Wow!"
There was an explosion in the pool, like a boiling pot, and then a figure jumped out.
"I want you dead!"
It was the Ghost King who jumped out. When it saw Tang Zhen, it immediately pounced on him waving its sharp claws.
"Aren't you still honest? I'll give you a little taste of pain!"
As soon as Tang Zhen finished speaking, the iron bar in front of him floated up and went straight towards the Ghost King.
Like a swimming fish, it keeps chasing the ghost king, making it feel a great crisis.
"ah!"
A scream was heard, and the iron bars were put around the Ghost King's neck, and they were fastened together tightly.
The next moment, the runes on the iron ring flashed and scalding flames erupted.
The ghost king was burned and rolling on the ground. He wanted to escape but was unable to do so. He could only curse Tang Zhen constantly.
In just ten seconds, the Ghost King began to cry out and beg for mercy, begging Tang Zhen to let him go.
The blacksmith looked at him dumbfounded. They were both evil spirits, so he could naturally feel the power of the Ghost King.
If he were a wild cat, the Ghost King would be a hungry tiger that could kill him with just one bite.
Such a terrifying and frightening existence was vulnerable to Tang Zhen, and he could be subdued by just making an iron ring.
Judging from Tang Zhen's action of throwing the mirror, he should have subdued the Ghost King before and imprisoned him in the mirror.
I originally guessed that Tang Zhen was very powerful, but without comparison, the blacksmith had no clear idea at all.
But now it is clear that if Tang Zhen wants to kill himself, it is as easy as crushing an ant.
But why would such a strong man tolerate his existence and teach him how to practice?
Is it true, as he said, just for someone to forge iron knives and clean the yard?
"Your Excellency, spare your life!"
The Ghost King begged for mercy, bringing the blacksmith's thoughts back, and then he saw that the blacksmith was already kneeling on the ground.
Even though the iron ring around his neck continued to release flames, the Ghost King endured the pain and did not dare to make any more noise.
Seeing the Ghost King's performance, Tang Zhen nodded.
"My initial plan was to burn you into a pile of ashes, which would be regarded as eliminating harm to the people of this area.
But since you beg so hard, I will give you a chance to try to wash away the sins all over your body."
Tang Zhen had no expression on his face, looked at the trembling Ghost King, and said in a light tone.
"Thank you for your mercy. I will do my best and obey your arrangements in everything."
The ghost king's voice was hoarse, and it was impossible to tell the gender, but there was a bit of surprise in his tone.
"Well, in that case, from now on, you will be responsible for cleaning and cooking.
This is the blacksmith, he came a while before you, just ask him if you have anything."
Tang Zhen waved his hand, and the iron ring around the Ghost King's neck stopped spitting flames in an instant.
Ignoring the ghost king who knelt down to thank him, Tang Zhen returned to the shop in front and continued to open the door for business.
The atmosphere in the blacksmith shop was a bit solemn.
The Ghost King is invisible and looks like a black mist, but it can transform into various forms.
After Tang Zhen left, the Ghost King remained silent for a moment, then slowly stood up.
It looked at the blacksmith on the side, hesitated for a few seconds, and bowed to him.
"Brother, please take good care of me."
Fortunately, the blacksmith was a spirit, otherwise his hair would have stood up in fear, and he quickly shook his head to express that you are not welcome.
This is the King of Ghosts, he can kill himself with one bite, so don't be careless.
"Were you mute when you were alive?"
The Ghost King asked, and the blacksmith nodded quickly.
"It doesn't matter. After you become a spiritual body, all the imperfections you had during your lifetime can be made up for. I'll teach you how to do it."
This ghost king didn't mean well, but wanted to use the blacksmith to increase his understanding of Tang Zhen.
After the ghost king finished explaining the method, the blacksmith followed it and he was able to express his thoughts.
"Thank you..."
The blacksmith hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to call the Ghost King.
"You're welcome, you can call me Liu Qing, so as not to get into trouble."
When the ghost king Liu Qing said this, he quickly changed his appearance and became a tall and voluptuous beauty.
The blacksmith's eyes widened. He had never seen such a perfect woman in his entire life.
But he soon realized that the person facing him was not an ordinary woman in the world, but a terrifying ghost king.
If she gets angry, she can turn a city into a ghost.
After realizing this, the blacksmith quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the Ghost King Liu Qing again.
"Pfft!"
Liu Qing smiled and asked the blacksmith, "Big man, am I beautiful?"
The blacksmith did not dare to raise his head and said angrily: "Beautiful, the fairies are not as beautiful as you!"
Liu Qing asked again: "Then do you think the master will be tempted when he sees my appearance?"
The blacksmith raised his head, looked at Liu Qing seriously, and shook his head firmly.
"Won't!"
Hearing the blacksmith's answer, Liu Qing raised her eyebrows and asked with a chuckle: "Then tell me, why not?"
The blacksmith was straightforward and answered without any hesitation: "The master is very powerful, unspeakably powerful, and even you are no match for him.
He is just like a banished immortal, he should not be greedy for the beauty of the world, let alone someone like you..."
When the blacksmith said this, he immediately shut up because he saw a layer of black energy appear on Liu Qing's face, and his eyes began to turn slightly green.
"hehe……"
Seeing the blacksmith's appearance, the cloud on Liu Qing's face disappeared instantly, and her face changed at an alarming speed.
"Big man, if I read correctly, you were killed by someone, right?"
The blacksmith was stunned when he heard this, and then said in a cold tone: "Well, I was poisoned to death, and they stole my family's heirlooms."
"Then do you want revenge?"
"I want to take revenge, but I have no chance."
"I will help you get revenge, but you have to listen to me in the future. What do you think?"
"I listen to you, but you have to listen to the master, so I'll just listen to the master."
"Haha, you are not stupid."
"I'm stupid, but I know the master is better than you."
Liu Qing was so angry that she rolled her eyes. She originally wanted to deal with this Tiehanhan, but she didn't want him to be a stubborn person.
She didn't dare to be presumptuous, lest she would anger Tang Zhen and be burned by the terrible fire again.
Touching the iron ring around her neck, Liu Qing had a vague feeling that burning might be the lightest punishment.
At the same time, I was secretly shocked in my heart, wondering who Tang Zhen was, that he could live in such a dilapidated blacksmith shop and raise a stupid and stupid ghost.
Could this be the practice of an expert, the legendary experience in the world of mortals, hiding in the city?
I was thinking wildly in my mind when I heard Tang Zhen's voice faintly coming from the shop in front of me.
"It's almost time, why don't you get ready to cook!"
"Hey, do it right away!"
Liu Qing, the majestic ghost king, a terrifying existence that has made countless monks frightened by the news, is actually surrounding a stove and busy working in a hurry.
