Eternal Sword

Chapter 292 Farewell Wine

During this period, hermits from outside began to walk into the Shadow Building and come to the counter to receive their tasks.

Among these, in addition to the middle hidden, there are also some lower hidden.

"Yun Niang, I will take this task."

A Hidden Man took the mission token handed over by Yun Niang and asked, "Where is the target portrait?"

"There's no picture. Look for yourself. It's right next to you."

Yunniang looked in the direction of Chen Tang.

The hidden man looked at Chen Tang deeply, then turned and left.

"Xiayin is here to join in the fun too?"

Chen Tang raised his eyebrows.

Liu Shou said: "In the world of hermits, assassination of targets downwards is not allowed, but there is no limit to assassination upwards. The Hermit Emperor, the Hermit Sect, once used the strength of a Grandmaster to assassinate the Shenzhou Martial Emperor and then escaped far away."

"Your cultivation level is a bit embarrassing. Even the best among the lower-level hermits have a chance to surpass their level and succeed. Therefore, the hermits you have to face may be more than you think."

Chen Tang said calmly: "There is no need to hide, lest you die in vain."

"What a loud tone."

Among the hermits who came to accept the task, Xia Yin sneered.

"Yun Niang, this man is not a hermit, and he doesn't have any hermit coins. When will we drive him out?" Another hermit asked with a frown, getting a little impatient.

Normally speaking, in Chen Tang's situation, he shouldn't stay in the Shadow Building.

Staying here for a long time was already a sign of face given to him by Yunniang.

Yun Niang glanced at the Jade Flute Fairy, then at Chen Tang, playing with the hidden coin with her fingers, and asked with a half-smile, "Little brother, do you regret it?"

"Can you return this hidden coin to him?"

Fairy Jade Flute didn't want to implicate Chen Tang by putting him in danger for her, so she asked.

“No refunds.”

Yun Niang turned her hand over and put away the hidden coin, saying, "Go on your own, don't force me to chase you away."

"Not urgent."

Chen Tang had just stood up when a voice suddenly came from the door.

Chen Tang turned his head and saw the old blacksmith walking in from outside.

"Old Feng, why are you here to join in the fun?"

Yunniang saw the old blacksmith and gave him a blank look.

"Tsk tsk, Yun Niang has changed into new clothes again, they look beautiful."

Blacksmith Feng winked at Chen Tang and said with a smile, "Well, am I right?"

Yunniang was overjoyed when she heard Feng the blacksmith praise her beauty. Then she realized that there was something else behind his words. She stared at Chen Tang and asked, "What did old Feng say about me?"

Chen Tang said: "He said that the proprietress of Shadow House is very charming..."

"She is charming and beautiful, rare in the world!"

Before Chen Tang could finish his words, Feng the Blacksmith interrupted him and took over.

"Oh, you actually came up with so many words. It's really hard for you."

Yunniang and Feng the blacksmith seemed to be very familiar with each other and joked with each other a few times.

"Mother Yun, bring me two bowls of wine!"

When Feng the blacksmith saw Chen Tang was about to leave, he took out two hidden coins from his bosom, placed them on the counter, and handed them over, saying, "Don't worry, I'll treat you to a bowl of wine before you leave. If you don't drink the wine from Yingzilou, you will die with regrets. This is considered as a farewell for you."

"Yo ho."

Yunniang turned around to get some wine, glanced at Feng the blacksmith with her phoenix eyes, and said with a smile: "The sun is rising from the west. Old Feng is usually stingy, but today you are so generous?"

"You know I don't take money from the dead."

Blacksmith Feng was not annoyed, he just replied calmly.

Chen Tang frowned when he heard this.

The dead person that Blacksmith Feng was referring to was obviously him!
Chen Tang asked: "But you still accepted a hidden coin from me just now."

"of course."

Feng the blacksmith said, "Working for money is the rule of the hermit world. Without rules, there will be no order. I don't take money from the dead. This is my rule."

Feng the blacksmith accepted a hidden coin from Chen Tang. Now, he invited Chen Tang to have a bowl of wine, which was considered as returning the hidden coin to him.

As she spoke, Yunniang had already poured two bowls of wine and placed them in front of the counter.

Before he even tried to drink, Chen Tang smelled a strong aroma of wine.

Although this wine is not as good as Monkey Wine, it is also a rare fine wine!
Chen Tang licked his lips, suddenly smiled, and said, "You don't think highly of me?"

"You are from Shenzhou, so you don't know the methods of the hermits here."

Feng the blacksmith said: "Being targeted by so many hermits, you will not survive even if you have three heads and six arms."

After saying that, Blacksmith Feng picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, grinned slightly, and showed a satisfied expression on his face, looking very comfortable.

Chen Tang's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something.

"When you collected my hidden currency, did you know I would die?"

"good."

“But at that time, I had not yet entered the field of vision of so many hermits.”

The reason why Chen Tang was targeted by so many hermits was that he had just come forward to help Fairy Jade Flute extend her guest room for another day, which aroused the hostility of other hermits.

Normally, these hermits' target was not him at all.

"I'll get you into their sight."

While sipping his wine, Feng the Blacksmith said, "I was originally planning to issue a bounty for you, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary."

"Oh?"

Chen Tang asked: "Why?"

Blacksmith Feng said, "I like the two materials you gave me."

In front of Chen Tang, Blacksmith Feng did not hide his thoughts at all. He spoke them out openly without even making any excuses.

Chen Tang couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Why don't you just take the materials and leave, instead of offering a reward to get rid of me?"

"How can that be done!"

Feng the Blacksmith shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, that's not right. It's against the rules. If you pay me with hidden coins, I will make equipment for you. If I run away with the equipment, do I still want my reputation?"

Chen Tang was speechless.

Blacksmith Feng explained very seriously: "If you die, these two pieces of equipment will be ownerless, so I can take them. If you are alive, I can't take them away. There is no order without rules."

Chen Tang turned around and looked at Blacksmith Feng, and asked very seriously, "What if I'm not dead?"

"impossible."

Blacksmith Feng spoke with a firm tone.

Chen Tang asked again: "What if I had never died?"

Seeing Chen Tang insisting, Feng the Blacksmith said seriously, "If you are not dead, follow the rules. I will give you the equipment."

"Row."

Chen Tang nodded.

After a pause, Chen Tang smiled again and said, "Actually, you don't have to tell me this clearly."

For something like this, Blacksmith Feng could easily get away with it by making up any excuse.

After all, Chen Tang has entered the sight of many hermits.

All he had to do was wait for Chen Tang to die, and then Blacksmith Feng would collect the two pieces of equipment.

"No, that's not fair."

Blacksmith Feng shook his head and said, "You are going to die soon, you have to die with a clear mind. I can't hide it from you."

Chen Tang always felt that Blacksmith Feng's train of thought was a little absurd, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Chen Tang asked, "You told me this in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will cause you trouble?"

"Not afraid."

Blacksmith Feng picked up the wine bowl, drank it all, and said, "First, this is Shadow Building."

"Second, wait for me to make equipment for you."

"Third, you can't beat me."
