Mei Niang seemed to sense that something was wrong. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the young man who looked as if nothing had happened. She opened her mouth wide in astonishment.
Growing up in the blacksmith shop, Mei Niang knew how heavy the special hammer in her father's hand was. It weighed 180 kilograms. Even a rock could be smashed into pieces by it, but this young man was completely fine. How hard was his head? Was it still a human head?
Compared to Mei Niang's surprise, Blacksmith Li was shocked. Only he himself knew how strong he was. His iron hammer was a hundred and eighty kilograms, but if he used his strength and mixed it with martial arts, his strength would be more than ten thousand kilograms.
Not only did the hammer that weighed 10,000 kilograms not break when it hit a person's head, it even bounced back. Was this something a human could do?
Therefore, at this moment, Blacksmith Li's heart was full of shock. He knew that this fool was good at martial arts, but he didn't expect him to be so good that he could remain unscathed under his iron hammer with only his physical strength. Even the imperial guards in the Forbidden City couldn't do this.
The young man didn't seem to hear the hammer. He didn't even touch his head in pain. He was still staring at Mei Niang as if he couldn't get enough of her.
A strange expression appeared on Mei Niang's face, but she quickly returned to normal. She lowered her head timidly, and a touch of red appeared on her slender, snow-white neck. She looked extremely shy.
However, she knew very well that this unusually powerful young man didn't covet her beauty at all. Instead, there seemed to be something on her that attracted him.
The blacksmith shop fell into a dead silence. Only the flames on the stove flickered and made a soft sound from time to time.
"Who are you? Why are you here? "
After a long time, Blacksmith Li guarded Mei Niang behind him with a solemn face and asked vigilantly.
…
Unfortunately, he didn't get any response. The young man didn't respond, nor did he intend to speak. He was still staring at Mei Niang.
However, there was no covetousness or lust in his eyes.
There was only emptiness and emptiness.
"I see. You're a spirit puppet? So that's how it is. No wonder. "
Looking at the young man's unusual reaction, Blacksmith Li's mind suddenly flashed, and he cried out in realization.
"Spirit puppet? What is a Soul Puppet? "
Mei Niang blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked curiously. She also secretly glanced at the young man who was standing there like a statue.
"A Spirit Puppet is a type of battle machine refined by a super sect using a secret method. Their physical body is extremely powerful, but they have no thoughts or souls. Everything is controlled by the person who refined them. If he is a Spirit Puppet, then it makes sense. After all, in the Heaven Ancient Dynasty, people who can withstand the power of my hammer with just their physical body are absolutely rare."
Blacksmith Li could not help but reveal a proud expression on his face.
He, Li Mu, was a famous genius in the Ancient Heaven Imperial Court back then. Although for some reason, he had to hide his identity and flee, and because his injuries were too heavy, his cultivation base fell, but not anyone could withstand his full strength hammer.
"Does the Heaven Ancient Imperial Court have such a super sect?"
Mei Niang's eyes lit up as she asked with a look of desire.
"I don't know."
Blacksmith Li's face was full of bitterness as he shook his head, "Those super sects are all high and mighty, and they see mortals as ants. Even the royal family is disdainful of them, so why would they care about our business."
The luster in Mei Niang's eyes gradually dimmed. She looked at the silly young man, unwilling to give up. She muttered to herself, "Am I going to waste my life like this? Can't I see any hope of revenge? Where is the person that Taoist Priest Xuan Ling mentioned? When will he appear? "
"Ma … Mei Niang, don't say so much. It's not certain whether this person is a Spirit Puppet or not. If he isn't, and the news is leaked, then it won't be good."
Blacksmith Li anxiously waved his hand at her and said, "Besides, Taoist Priest Xuan Ling has always been strange. His words are always inaccurate, so you don't have to worry too much about it."
"Oh!"
Mei Niang obediently responded, but the sadness in her beautiful eyes could not be erased. She had thought that this silly young man was the person that Taoist Priest Xuan Ling had mentioned, but in the end, he was just a walking corpse, which made her extremely disappointed.
"Strange, why would a Spirit Puppet appear here? Could it be that there are people from the super sects nearby? "
Blacksmith Li stared at the young man and muttered in confusion. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed as he said involuntarily, "No, he's not a Spirit Puppet."
"What?"
Mei Niang suddenly raised her head when she heard this. Her eyes were bursting with anticipation. The time that Taoist Priest Xuan Ling mentioned had arrived. Only the seemingly crazy young man in front of her was more like the person in his prophecy. If he wasn't a Spirit Puppet, then didn't that mean that he was very likely the person in the prophecy?
"Cough cough!"
Blacksmith Li looked embarrassed. After coughing twice, he embarrassedly said, "I heard that a Spirit Puppet is a fighting machine. Not only does it have no thoughts, it doesn't even have the instincts of a man. If he was a Spirit Puppet, why would he … do that to you … to do that kind of thing?"
Although Blacksmith Li's words were vague, Mei Niang instantly understood. Her cheeks were as red as blood, and she anxiously and anxiously stomped her feet. She hurriedly explained, "There's no such thing. He … he didn't do anything to me. It was that Wu Laosan who saw that I was alone and wanted to … wanted to take advantage of the opportunity … to bully me. He was the one who beat Wu Laosan away."
"You're saying that he didn't defile you? Instead, he saved you? Then why did I see that your clothes were disheveled and there were some bloodstains on the ground when I arrived? "
Blacksmith Li's eyes lit up as he asked in confusion.
Mei Niang nodded. Her cheeks were so red that blood could drip from them. Knowing that he had misunderstood, she stammered, "My clothes were torn by Wu Laosan, and that blood … that blood was also Wu Laosan's blood. When you arrived, you didn't ask him about the situation and started beating him up. That's why there's such a big misunderstanding."
"That's good, that's good. I thought … I thought … Haha!"
Blacksmith Li heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He scratched the back of his head and giggled.
Although they weren't biological father and daughter, their relationship was more than that of a father and daughter. After all, her mother was his childhood sweetheart.
Unfortunately, he was young and frivolous at that time. Moreover, he was devoted to martial arts. Ignoring her tearful pleas to stay, he insisted on leaving home to learn martial arts.
He left for eight years. When he returned after completing his studies, everything had changed. His lover had also been selected to enter the palace and become the current Emperor's concubine.
Only then did he realize that he had lost the most important person in his life. Filled with reluctance, he went to the imperial capital. He wanted to see her from afar and know how she was doing.
If she was happy, he would silently bless her. If she wasn't happy, even if he had to become the enemy of the imperial family, he would take her away from the sea of bitterness and roam the world from then on.
But how could the people in the imperial harem be seen just because he wanted to? Therefore, he resolutely joined the army. With his outstanding skills and accumulated military achievements, he was quickly promoted. After he became famous, he took the initiative to give up the position of a high-ranking general with military power. Instead, he condescendingly asked to become an imperial guard.
Many people didn't understand his thoughts and thought that he was stupid. However, only he knew that the glory and wealth in this world were fleeting clouds to him. From the beginning to the end, he only had one goal, and that was to have the qualifications to walk around the imperial palace. Only then could he see her. Even if he could only see her from afar, he would be satisfied.
But fate made fools of people. He never thought that when he finally saw her after waiting for more than three months, it would be the last time they met.
The woman he loved deeply was excluded in the ruthless imperial harem. After giving birth to a daughter, she was framed by someone in the imperial harem, which made the emperor so angry that he ordered her to die with a piece of white silk.
It was under such circumstances that Li Muyuan finally saw the woman he had missed. He boldly rushed into the imperial palace and killed the eunuchs and maids, trying to escape from the imperial capital with her.
But she would rather die than go with him, because if she left, she would be disobeying the imperial edict, and her family would also be implicated and killed. Therefore, she asked him to take away her daughter, Mei Niang, who was waiting to be fed. She didn't want her daughter to grow up in the cold and ruthless imperial palace. She only hoped that she could live a safe and ordinary life in this life.
Li Muyuan couldn't persuade her at all. He could only take Mei Niang, who was born not long ago, out of the imperial palace with tears in his eyes. He fled all the way and narrowly escaped death countless times. It took him a full three years to completely get rid of the pursuers and hide in the Li Family Village.
As Mei Niang grew up, she became more and more intelligent. Although her childhood memory was very vague, she still vaguely guessed some of her life experience.
Li Muyuan didn't want to hide it from her. After all, her mother was the woman he loved the most. He couldn't bear to let her daughter not know her mother's name, so he told her all about her life experience.
Unexpectedly, although Mei Niang was young, she was extremely precocious. Since she knew her life experience, she had been thinking about revenge.
The royal family was too powerful, and it was impossible to overthrow the royal family. Therefore, Mei Niang targeted the culprit who framed her mother, Concubine Ming, for her revenge.
Mei Niang, who was full of hatred, spared no effort to learn martial arts from Li Muyuan. Unfortunately, when God opened a door for her, he also closed a window for her. Although she was extremely smart, she had no talent for martial arts at all. Although she had worked hard enough these years, she didn't even cross the simplest threshold.
Disheartened, Mei Niang's heart was full of depression and sadness. Did she have to live a plain and mediocre life like this? If she couldn't even avenge her mother, wouldn't she be an unworthy daughter?
Depressed, she followed the girls in the village to Baiyun Taoist Temple, which was a hundred miles away from here, to seek fortune to relieve her inner depression. Unexpectedly, she met Taoist Priest Xuanling, who was famous for his divination.
Mei Niang couldn't care about anything else. She begged Taoist Priest Xuanling to tell her fortune.
Taoist Priest Xuanling was worthy of being a divine fortune-teller. At a glance, he saw that her life experience was extraordinary and gave her a prophecy. If she wanted to achieve her wish, when she was eighteen years old, a man in her life would appear and everything would be solved perfectly.
Today was Mei Niang's birthday. After today, she would be nineteen years old, which was the time Taoist Priest Xuanling mentioned.
Therefore, she subconsciously thought that the crazy young man was the one she had been waiting for. That was why she rashly went to test him. However, she didn't expect to meet Wu Laosan, the pervert, who wanted to rape her.
Fortunately, although the young man was stupid and liked to stare at women, he had a sense of justice. He injured Wu Laosan and saved her.
At that time, she was frightened and cried in the young man's arms. Unexpectedly, Li Muyuan, who rushed over, misunderstood and attacked the young man indiscriminately.
