Chapter 14: Take the sword
Following.
Afternoon.
Under the guidance of Qian Wenyi, Fang Zhong practiced a few strokes of calligraphy in the study. Qian Wenyi is extraordinary, and he has attainments in pen and ink, and Fang Zhong has benefited a lot.
Fang Zhong said to Qian Wenyi: "Master, Senior Brother Yan has made an appointment with a few disciples to go and learn swordsmanship again, and said that he will wait for me in the afternoon." ”
Qian Wenyi nodded and said: "The article must be learned, and the swordsmanship must also be learned, and if one of the two is missing, it is either a mediocre talent or a reckless man." Now that you've made an appointment, go ahead. ”
Fang Zhong said with some hesitation: "But there is still one thing that the disciple does not take advantage of. ”
Qian Wenyi put down the brush and asked, "Why don't you take advantage of it?" ”
Fang Zhong said: "The disciple has no sword. ”
Qian Wenyi was stunned and said, "You want a sword?" ”
Fang Zhongdao: "Senior Brother Yan and Senior Brother Zhang have been given swords, but I don't have them. They say that the spirituality of the sword needs to increase with the length of time, and the flying of the sword and the use of the sword trick all require the sword to be like an arm, as if it were one. But the disciple didn't even have a wooden sword, so how could he have any spirituality. ”
Of course, Qian Wenyi knows the importance of a portable sword, which is closely related to the practice of swordsmanship, and must not be sloppy. Weapons and treasures can only be used to the greatest extent with the user's proficiency and understanding. If Fang Zhong wants to succeed in the way of the sword, he really needs a sword in his hand. It was not difficult to send a sword to Fang Zhong by himself, so he said: "I originally had a good sword here, but unfortunately I gave it to the Leng Fairy of Tianxuan Palace, and I couldn't raise a better one for a while." Why don't you go to the sword room and get a mouthful, where there are many swords. I'll write a note, and you bring it to Master Shan who is in charge, and he will definitely help after seeing it. He took a pen and wrote a note and handed it to Fang Zhong.
Fang Zhong was overjoyed and was about to go out. Qian Wenyi stopped, and said: "After you take the sword, don't show it off, you usually put it in the house, and you only use it when you practice the sword." Fang Zhongxin said: "The other senior brothers are all swords, how majestic, why do I have to be like a stolen one." "It's not easy to ask, so I took the note and went to the sword room to get the sword.
On the right side of Zixiao Pavilion, there is a Liquan, where the sword room is. The water of Liquan is not only drinkable, but also used to practice sword quenching, so the sword room not only collects the blades of the past dynasties, but also creates its own weapons.
Fang Zhong inquired all the way, and finally arrived at the place of the sword room.
Look up at it at the gate, it is not like other pavilions in Kunlun Mountain at all, Zhumen Guanghu carved beams and painted buildings, the peripheral stone walls are piled up, simple and unpretentious, there are many bungalows inside, most of them are stone rooms, there are dozens of courtyards in total, and the area is also extremely wide.
When I entered through the gate, I was greeted by a hot wind. Fang Zhong was taken aback. It turned out that there were ten large stoves in the courtyard, lined up in the courtyard, and the flames were blazing and burning happily. Around the furnace, several sword room disciples kept throwing ore into the furnace, and a few more disciples pulled the bellows shirtless, snorting and snorting.
An elderly disciple with an iron tong in his hand saw Fang Zhong coming and shouted, "Where are you from?" What are you here for? ”
Fang Zhong hurriedly said: "Junior brother Fang Zhong, come to find Uncle Shan." ”
The disciple said, "No." ”
Fang Zhong asked, "Where is Master Shan?" ”
The disciple saw that Fang Zhong was not very old but came to ask questions, he was tired and sweating profusely, and he didn't want to see the idle person the most, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Master is very busy, I don't have time to take care of you, if you have anything to do with him, I'll do it for you." ”
Fang Zhong took out Qian Wenyi's note, handed it over with both hands, and said, "This is for Uncle Shan, Senior Brother Lao handed it over to him." The disciple put down the iron tongs, took the note and looked at it, and saw that it was recommended by Qian Wenyi, so he turned his face and smiled: "Don't you just take a sword, this is easy, you don't need my master to come, I'll do it for my junior brother." ”
Fang Zhongxi said: "Thank you, senior brother." ”
The disciple led Fang Zhong through the cloister of the compound and towards a contiguous house. Fang Zhong remembered something and said, "I heard that Senior Brother Liu Yimei and Liu came to the sword room to learn art, I don't know where he is?" ”
The disciple said, "You said Senior Brother Liu, he went down the mountain with his master and went to the Baishui River to fetch water, and he has been there for a day. ”
Fang Zhongqi said: "Do you still need to go down the mountain to pick up the water in the sword room?" Not that there is spring water available. ”
The disciple said: "You don't understand this, the water is first-class for drinking, and it is worse to say quenching, so you have to go to the Baishui River to pick it." The ten furnaces of high-grade molten iron that you saw just now need to be quenched with the water of the Baishui River to make a high-quality sword. ”
Fang Zhong was surprised: "Does the sword room often need to carry water?" How many swords do you have to make in these ten furnaces of molten iron? ”
The disciple said mysteriously: "That's not it, the real person in charge of the sect issued a decree yesterday to refine the sword in the sword room, and it needs to be used urgently." That's why Master and Brother Liu went to the Baishui River to fetch water and left us here to smelt iron. In my opinion, something great happened soon. ”
Fang Zhongdao: "What's the big deal?" ”
The disciple said, "If you want to do your job, you must first sharpen your tools." The sword in the sword room inventory was originally enough for practice, but to fight so many swords, is it for fun, of course, it is for my Kunlun disciples to kill the enemy. ”
Fang Zhong was shocked: "Senior brother is saying that he wants to fight?" ”
The disciple said, "By the way, but I don't know who to do it with." ”
Fang Zhong was secretly frightened, although the world was restless and it was inevitable to make a move, but who wanted to see the sword light and sword shadow flying flesh and blood, thinking of the fights and killings he had seen before, he might have to be as crazy as them, he couldn't help but feel palpitations.
The disciple came to a large house, stretched out his hand to push open a storedoor, and said, "These are all good swords, go in and get one." ”
