Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 9 Condolences
Li Qing woke up almost at the right time, and traveled back to his original world before it was still dark.

He had a refreshing sleep this time and felt that all the fatigue in his body had faded away. The fatigue from standing and forging in the past few days was all gone.

As usual, Li Qing took two rice bowls to the kitchen hall to buy food, and then sent it to Master Gu.

Just after pushing open the curtain, he noticed something was wrong in the camp.

Quiet!

It was so quiet!
"Master!" Li Qing's hands shook and he almost dropped the two rice bowls to the ground.

He hurried to the edge of the bed and looked at Master Gu who had closed his eyes. His eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

Master Gu is dead.

This news spread throughout the entire border army at once, causing many people to sigh with emotion.

In the Wuli Army, Master Gu's reputation is still very high. Many of the weapons of centurions and even thousands of captains in the army were made by him. Every weapon produced by him is very sophisticated and durable.

Funerals in the military are basically kept simple, without too much red tape.

However, basic etiquette was still in place. Some high-ranking military officials who had been favored by Master Gu all came to express their condolences.

The first person to arrive at Master Gu's camp was Centurion Chen Meng. This burly, rough man with a face full of flesh looked at Master Gu's remains solemnly.

"Alas!" Chen Meng sighed, without saying anything more, but patted Li Qing who was standing guard.

The second person who came to express condolences was Commander Qian Hong, whom he had met yesterday!This was somewhat beyond Li Qing's expectation.

The female captain was still so heroic. She just glanced at the ancient master's body and then withdrew her gaze.

She had been in the army for many years, so Qian Hong would not be sentimental about the natural passing of a person.

"Master Gu said that you have learned his craftsmanship to the extreme. Is this true?" Qian Hong looked directly at Li Qing, but this time her aura was not strong, but she changed into a relative expression. Soothing tone.

Hearing this, Li Qing shook his head repeatedly and replied: "That's because the master promoted me. I have only studied with him for less than two years. How could I learn to this extent?"

"That's right, Master Gu's death was really picked at a good time." Qian Hong shook his head with regret, said nothing more, turned around and left the camp.

Immediately afterwards, several centurions came in. They were all tall and thick men. As soon as they arrived, they greeted Li Qing, said a lot, and then left.

The second captain who came over was named Yuan Xiao. He narrowed his eyes and always had a gentle smile on his lips. He looked like a good old man.

If it weren't for Master Gu's advice, Li Qing might have thought this way.

However, those who can sit in the position of captain of thousands in the army are naturally unlikely to be gentle and kind people.

Now Li Qing's first impression of him became very bad, and he immediately labeled him as hypocritical in his heart.

"Hehehe, little brother, you must be Master Gu's apprentice. He has made great contributions in the army over the years. If you encounter any trouble in the army in the future, just come to me." Yuan Xiao He narrowed his eyes and said softly.

The first impression was a bad one, and there was no shortage of roles to play. Li Qing showed a grateful expression and responded: "Captain Yuan Qianfu, thank you!"

"Okay, little brother, death is like a light going out, so don't be too sad." Yuan Xiao said with thoughtful concern.

After saying that, Captain Yuan Xiao also left. After he walked out of the camp, his eyes flickered slightly, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

As the other party left, Li Qing swallowed and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

What a deep city!As the ancient master said, you must be extremely careful.If you can avoid contact with this person in the future, then try not to contact him as much as possible.

Wu Li's army had three captains stationed at the frontier. After waiting for a long time, Li Qing didn't even wait for the third captain to come to express his condolences, which made him a little doubtful.

"Is it possible that this third captain has nothing to do with Master Gu?"

Maybe this is really possible, otherwise why did Master Gu only let himself pay attention to the other two captains before his death, but didn't even mention the remaining one.

On the same day, the ancient master was laid to rest, and all etiquette was kept simple.

I found a small mound outside the fortress and buried the ancient master. Li Qing accompanied him from beginning to end. After the diggers left, Li Qing waited quietly in front of the grave.

Should I just run away at this time?
This idea was suppressed by Li Qing as soon as it came up. Running away at this time was not a wise choice.

Wait!
Wait until his strength is higher and he can have a certain ability to protect himself. When the situation becomes more chaotic, it will be so chaotic that no one will pay attention to him, a little blacksmith apprentice!

The strong wind outside the Great Wall seemed to never stop, and at this moment, it rolled up the yellow sand all over the sky.

Li Qing stroked the tombstone with his hand and sighed inwardly.

Master Gu left a little too suddenly, but it was not too unexpected.

Speaking of which, during his time in the army, he received a lot of care from the other party. Although it was a bit harsh, it was all for his own good.

Suddenly, Master Gu's voice and smile from the past echoed in Li Qing's heart.

Ugh!
As an immortal, I'm afraid I'll have to go through a lot of things like this in the future, and maybe I'll have to send away many future generations.

No wonder people become more ruthless the longer they live.
"Hey, let's practice!"

Immediately, Li Qing threw all the messy thoughts out of his mind and stood up in front of the ancient master's grave.

Even the eight-level strong wind could not shake his figure. His stance was as stable as a pine tree.

I don't know how long it lasted, but while Li Qing kept his posture, a vicissitudes of sound suddenly sounded.

"Gu Xuan Hammer Technique, it seems that Gu Tou has really handed over all his family wealth to you!"

Hearing this sudden sound, Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't even notice the slightest movement of the person coming!
"Who?!"

Li Qing glanced around and immediately saw an old naughty boy with red cheeks holding a wine gourd standing on the side of the tomb bag.

Tick ​​tock!
The old man who looked like a drunkard poured some of the wine out of the gourd and sprinkled it in front of the ancient master's grave.

"Hey, my surname is Guo."

As soon as these words came out, Li Qing's heart was slightly shaken, and he immediately thought of someone.

The third commander in chief of the Wuli Army at the Frontier Fortress, Guo Zhentong!
He is actually an old man!He still looks like an alcoholic.
"In my humble position, I have met the Lord Commander!" Li Qing reacted and wanted to be greeted immediately.

Guo Zhentong said with a smile: "Stand up. You can continue to practice your Zhuang Kung Fu. Don't worry about me. I'm just here to take a last look at the old man."

As the wine poured out, the surroundings were filled with a strong aroma of wine, making you feel intoxicating just by smelling it.
