Chapter 974: The Spirit of the Refiner
The sunlight shone down, enveloping the fragments of weapons in front of Nan Jingbai's body, and fluttered by, shining on Geng Jiaxing at the other end, gilding his whole person with a layer of victor's golden radiance.
One line of heaven, one line of hell.
"Nan Jingbai, what else do you have to say now?" Geng Jiaxing said proudly, "You can't even do the 'instrument', even if the basic skills are solid, what can you do? The competition looks at the strength, not whose actions are better!"
As he spoke, he turned to the referee table again, and gave a meaningful salute: "Sect Master, elders, I will represent the Sword Kiln Sect in the competition, you have no objections, right?"
The white-eyed elder also nodded at the right time: "Yes, in this game, both sides have equal opportunities. Although Kagyohaku did make a lot of contributions in the early stages, it makes sense that he lost the game in front of everyone......"
"No...... No......" Suddenly, a faint voice of self-muttering sounded in the room. This once again attracted everyone's attention to Nan Jingbai's body.
From the moment he failed, he threw himself on the material table beside him, his eyes scattered, his head sweating, and he kept rummaging for something. At first, everyone thought he was hit hard and didn't pay attention, but gradually, his self-muttering voice continued to rise, and even overpowered the voice of Elder Baimei asking for merit for Geng Jiaxing.
"It's you......" Under the attention of the audience, he raised his head suddenly, and pointed at Geng Jiaxing angrily, "It was you who changed my materials!"
At this time, in his hand, he was clutching a palm-sized red stone. The surface was pitted, but there were still streams of pure fire attribute energy, overflowing from the complex and irregular lines.
"You used this piece of fire stone to exchange the fire stone I originally prepared. Immediately afterwards, Nan Jingbai was even more astonishing.
"These two materials, although the appearance is similar, but the energy of the ignorant phosphorite is more violent, and it lacks compatibility, and when it is mixed with other materials, when it is heated to the critical point of high temperature, it will cause an explosion!"
"Once we have selected the materials, they are stored in a secret room for safekeeping. You're the only one who has the motivation and the time to do it, right?"
With his questioning, after a short silence in the audience, the eyes of one question after another shifted to Geng Jiaxing.
Geng Jiaxing was indeed a little embarrassed, but soon, he regained his composure. Raising his neck, he said calmly: "If your skills are not good, don't rely on others, okay?" Say that I changed your materials, what evidence do you have?"
"Do you think what you did was seamless?" Nan Jingbai shook the piece of flint at him, pressing step by step, "What materials we have selected, there are registrations in the warehouse." I only got one flint stone, so how did that extra flint stone come to be? Who put it in my material box? Shall we go to the warehouse together to check it?"
Geng Jiaxing's complexion finally changed slightly.
The panic was only a flash, and every muscle on his face was twitching, an extremely hideous color, quietly climbing up the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Even if it's me, as long as I can win, it's advisable to do anything. If you plan ahead, you can also change my materials early. The important thing is to win this game first in the match with the Casting Divine Blade Clan, seal their mouths, and make them have to join forces with the Sword Kiln Sect!"
"The wicked still need to be grinded by the wicked, and to deal with extraordinary opponents, they need to use extraordinary means. Nan Jingbai, if it was a regular game just now, you would have lost. Speaking of this, Geng Jiaxing sneered twice and raised his hand to point, "You are a person, the refining technique is indeed good, but the only thing you lack is that 'ruthless' energy." You're too 'upright'—"
Ruthless...... Is it ruthless again?
Nanjing Baimu stood in place, refining the weapon to have a ruthlessness, in this way, he had heard too much since he was a child. Judging from the appearance alone, a son as white as jade like him is only suitable for holding a folding fan and reciting poems, which is indeed difficult to connect with the sweat and rain in front of the stove.
Before, Chen Ruo said the same thing. In order to better refine the weapon, she forcibly created another personality, and the various experiences in the Casting Shenfeng clan, as well as the usual education of the sect master, the impact of this scene after scene finally made Nan Jingbai start to ask herself, am I wrong, or the people around me are wrong?
Geng Jiaxing's high-minded remarks also aroused heated discussions on the referee's table. Yes, they have to win this game, but the question is, how do they win? Is it the technique or the means?
Yes, they can uphold the way of a gentleman, but what if the Casting Shenfeng clan also plays tricks? The other party has hated the Sword Kiln Sect for hundreds of years! Who dares to say that they will definitely play in an upright manner?
If the other side does not cheat, we will also cheat, so we can first get back to an equal situation; if the other side does not cheat, we will cheat, and the chances of winning will undoubtedly increase greatly......
When the elders were arguing with each other, no one noticed that the Sword Kiln Sect Master sitting on the main throne, his expression changed again and again, and there was a suppressed pain in his eyes, as if he remembered something unspeakable from the past.
"No, I don't think so. After a long time, Nan Jingbai's tightly closed eyes opened again.
This time, somehow, everyone vaguely felt that there was something different in him.
In addition to his original Sven appearance, a more mysterious temperament was added. It seems to be a kind of reborn maturity and practice, like a diffuse aura, invisibly, it will be awe-inspiring.
"You always say that refining tools should pay attention to a 'ruthless' energy, which is not wrong, but maybe you have misunderstood the true meaning of this 'ruthless' energy. ”
"The ruthlessness of refining weapons should first be ruthless to oneself, to be able to withstand high temperatures and hardships, to endure boredom, and to hone one's skills day after day. Secondly, you should have the courage to move forward, no matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter, you have the determination to overcome them and break through them. ”
"To forge a good sword, you should first polish yourself into a good sword. There is a sharp edge out of the sheath, and there must also be a heaviness of the sheath. ”
"This ruthlessness is definitely not ruthless to your opponent, it is not unscrupulous to strive for victory, nor is it the disapproval of six relatives, killing people to forge swords, and it is not using those strange and dangerous materials......"
"As an alchemist, if even you don't love the weapon you forged, how can you expect others to love it?"
"In fact, when you use all kinds of means, you have undoubtedly denied the meaning of the weapon itself. Because you feel that it alone is not enough to be a good sword, and you have to use those crooked means to assist it, to push it...... But wouldn't that be a matter of sacrificing the basics?"
"As a refiner, you should still spend your energy on honing your skills. The competition in the outside world just gives us a chance to meet more people and see more ways to refine weapons, so that we can learn from each other's strengths and improve ourselves. If you blindly indulge in intrigue with your opponent, even if you win the game, you will still lose to yourself, won't you? Because of your strength, you can't support your fame at all!"
"It's like an emperor who has no talent for governing the country, even if he can sweep away all his competitors, the country will eventually lose at his own hands. ”
"There is no end to craftsmanship, and my heart is the only one. This is the spirit of the refiner!"
These words, Nan Jingbai kept talking, loud and thought-provoking.
If it is said that before he went to the Casting Shenfeng clan, he was just a flower in the greenhouse, only immersed in refining, and did not know the warmth and coldness of the world, then after he personally experienced this century-old grievance, he really began to think about life, think about himself, and constantly came to new insights.
What he said to the Patriarch of the Casting Divine Blade, as well as what he said to Geng Jiaxing, he was convinced in his heart. At the same time, it is also what he hopes to use to warn himself. As a competitor, he will not frame others to win, and if he fails, he will never give up on himself. In a few months, he seemed to have grown up a lot at once.
For a while, Geng Jiaxing's face turned pale. Nan Jingbai's words just now first overwhelmed him in terms of momentum. Now he could see that there were already many elders at the referee's table nodding secretly. In order to prevent more people from being brainwashed, he could only cough a few times and sneered: "What kind of refiner's spirit, wait until you lose the game, and then go and tell the people of the Shenfeng clan, ......?"
"Enough!"
A majestic voice sounded, spreading throughout the audience, instantly quelling all disputes.
The Sword Kiln Sect Master, who had never said a word, actually slowly descended the steps at this time, until he walked among the two. His gaze was no longer as cloudy as it had been a moment ago, but had a brightness of relief.
Jiaxing and Jingbai, looking at them now, seem to see their own good and evil sides.
Hundreds of years ago, he did the same thing as Geng Jiaxing. In a crucial match, the opponent's materials were reversed. At that time, he also thought that as long as he could win, any method was preferable.
That decision allowed him to win the championship and become famous all over the world. But in the same way, it also made him lose the good brother of the Patriarch of the Casting Divine Blade, and the two turned against each other.
Hundreds of years later, when he had ascended to the throne of honor, he finally began to re-examine himself. Especially this mission of the Nine Shadows Palace, he really felt the sadness that was not worthy of the name.
Crossing the gap of jealousy and darkness, when he heard the news of the Casting Blade Patriarch's relief, the warm sunlight poured back on him, and he felt as if he had been redeemed.
It's just that he really didn't expect that he would re-recognize himself from the two young people, which also made his feelings a little complicated.
"Jiaxing, I can understand what you say. He looked at Geng Jiaxing carefully, "However, everyone will have different ideas at different stages. Now you are too immature, and in a few years you will understand that this desperate desire to win is actually wrong. ”
"Jingbai," and then, he patted Nan Jingbai's shoulder encouragingly, "At your young age, you can think so far-reaching, which is rare." However, it is not difficult for a person to have the original intention, but the difficult thing is to maintain the original intention after being washed by the wind and waves. Hopefully, years from now, when you think back to today's words, the answer will remain the same. ”
"I don't think there's any doubt about who will participate in the competition. He looked around at the elders and smiled faintly, "Jingbai, this time you are carrying a heavy responsibility!"
"Sect Master, what about me?" Geng Jiaxing was anxious, "Nan Jingbai, he lost to me! Let him participate in the competition, wouldn't that be a shame for our Sword Kiln Sect?"
"It's even more embarrassing to let you participate!" "The Sword Kiln Sect Master turned his head, his gaze was already much sharper, "Now I'm not afraid to tell you that I fell out with the Casting God Blade Patriarch because of something similar. Hundreds of years later, old friends are reunited again, do you want them to see that my sword kiln sect is still the same as it was at the beginning, and nothing has changed?"
"Jiaxing, your current situation is very dangerous. Before the game, you just stay in your room and think about it behind closed doors!"
Why...... Geng Jiaxing's fists hanging at his side clenched tightly at some point. Did I win the game, but you want me to think about it behind closed doors?Sect Master, you are too partial......
Wait a minute...... He just said that the events of a hundred years ago were very similar to today's? Geng Jiaxing suddenly captured something sensitively. If that's the case, just wait, I'll give the Sword Kiln Sect a generous gift-
***
A few days later, Ren Jianfei, who didn't know anything about all this, was performing a trial mission in the virtual space with Ye Shuo.
The task is to defeat the virtual puppets that surround them, and the number of puppets will increase over time. The longer you hold on, the more dolls you defeat, and the more points you can get. is a fairly simple Trials quest.
However, perhaps because when fighting with puppets, the spiritual power in one's body can be more condensed, and it has a considerable training effect, so in the Tiangong Gate, this task is still very popular.
At this moment, Ye Shuo and Ren Jianfei had just finished the trial, and they were sweating profusely on the way back to the room.
"I'm tired, I'm tired," Ren Jianfei sighed uncontrollably, "I'll go out later, but I'll have to hurry up and see if our ranking in the standings has improved." ”
"Speaking of which, have you thought about going out to receive a few endorsements?" Ren Jianfei quickly had a whim, "Isn't it popular for a group of people to participate in the assessment this time?" There are already many brands who have come to the door and left messages on the micro-space, asking us to be their spokespersons. I heard that if you shoot well and have influence after the broadcast, you can also earn points, which is much easier than training like ours!"
"Is it easy to take on the show?" Ye Shuo glanced at him funny, "Do you want to wear pants in winter, a padded jacket in summer, or a bowl of rice dozens of times?"
"How do you know so clearly?" Ren Jianfei approached him and deliberately squeezed his eyes, "It's the news that broke out from Sister Antong again, right?" Speaking of which, Sister An Tong is really the one who has received the most endorsements in our group, and the shoes I wear on my feet now are still the same brand she endorsed before!"
"yes. But I always feel a little despised by her......" Ye Shuo said of Shen Antong, just a stomach full of resentment, "I don't do serious things all day long, endorse this, endorse that, if I hadn't stopped her last time, she would have taken Qingxin to be a swimsuit model together! Tell me, why is a girl so shameless?"
"Ahem, you can't say that," Ren Jianfei couldn't help laughing, "Don't say that you haven't established a relationship with Sister An Tong yet, even if she is really your girlfriend, if she really likes this business, you should support her." And I said that you are not very old, why are you so old-fashioned? I guess my father is more enlightened than you......."
"By the way, Sister Antong had an advertisement for shampoo before, and I haven't had time to read it yet. Do you want to watch it together?"
"Don't," Ye Shuo hurriedly waved his hand, "Look for yourself, I'll go buy two bottles of water." ”
However, when Ye Shuo came back from buying water, what he saw was Ren Jianfei, who was still elated just now, holding the jade slip in his hand, staring blankly at the screen without saying a word.
"Ren Jianfei, what's wrong with you, what are you stimulating?" Ye Shuo pushed him, and seeing that his expression was not like a joke, he snatched the jade slip a little nervously.
His eyes widened at this sight.
On the hot search list, the sword kiln sect actually topped the list.
Moreover, it was pushed up by a piece of black material. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
