() The distance from Jicui Mountain to Wuliang Mountain is long, even if you use the retreat technique, it is not a day or two to arrive, you must rest halfway, stay at the tip, and regain your vitality. Fang Zhong set out from Jicui Mountain, and the hideous beast ran slowly for a day, afraid that it would be tired, so he wanted to find a place to rest.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set and the sky was full of sunset that Fang Zhong saw a small river. The river was sparkling, and there were many big trees growing on both sides, and the crows on the trees were irritable, and with the afterglow of this fall, they flapped their wings from time to time and circled around the top of the trees. Fang Zhong was in a hurry to leave, and when he saw that there was such a good place, he hurriedly urged the hideous beast to go over. The beast was also a little thirsty, and suddenly it rushed towards the riverside like a cloud of green smoke.

I don't think there is a group of horses resting by the river, dozens of carriages are lined up in turn, there are one or two hundred people, and I think I found this good place when I was in a hurry, and came to get water to rest. The horses were in good order, but when they saw the hideous beast rushing towards the riverbank, they were immediately frightened, and they neighed and plopped several times, and the horses that were close to the beast fell to the ground, and refused to get up again. Even the goods that were pulled by those horses also overturned one after another, and for a while, people turned over on their backs and made a big mess. Someone in the horse team had already snatched it out and shouted, "Who dares to hit grandpa's horse's head." ”

Fang Zhong didn't expect that he would be reckless for a while and cause such a big trouble to others, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "I'm sorry, I'm passing by, I see that the water here is good, I want to come and get some water to drink, but I didn't expect to alarm your horses, I'm really sorry." ”

The person on the other side was a young man in his twenties, and when he was a little older, he would have tied up his hair and pulled it into a bun, but he only kept short hair and did not wear a crown and hat, which looked like a monk in the temple who had grown his hair in a vulgar manner. Although it is nondescript, it looks like a god, and at a glance it is a majestic person. The young man looked at Fang Zhong for a while, seeing that he didn't look like an ordinary man, his tone softened slightly, and said: "Since you know your mistakes, the so-called ignorant ones are not to blame, walking outside, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps, I forgive you this time, don't be reckless next time." He turned around and instructed the rest of the men to pick up the overturned goods.

The things that fell from the carriage were heavy and were loaded in wooden boxes, and it was difficult for the two of them to carry them together. Fang Zhong drove the hideous beast to drink water, but he came over and reached out to help, Fang Zhong said: "I have shocked your horses, turned over the goods, and I am willing to make some efforts to carry these things back." Reaching out and lifting the wooden box on the ground, the box was already broken when it fell, and when it was lifted by Fang Zhong, he immediately lifted the cover, revealing countless swords, guns, swords, and halberds inside, and the cold light was dazzling for a moment, making people dizzy.

Fang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the people around him, all of whom were extremely pretentious, touching his waist with his hand, as if he was about to pull out his knife and move if something was wrong.

The atmosphere was suddenly tense

The corner of the young man's eyes flashed, and he said angrily: "What are you going to do!" Want to rob but can't do it? ”

Fang Zhong took a few steps back and said apologetically: "I just want to help, and besides, these goods are not gold and silver, what am I robbing to do." The young man said: "The war is in chaos, having a guy in your hand is better than anything else, you go away, don't hinder us from doing things." Fang Zhong enthusiastically touched the cold face of the people, so he had to step aside and watch these people carry the boxes of things back onto the carriage. Fang Zhongxin said that there are dozens of cars here, if they are all loaded with blades, how many will there be, it seems that the way these people come from is not simple, and it is better to make less trouble.

Fang Zhong left the carriage, went to the river to freshen up his face, washed away the dust all the way, and then led the hideous beast into the water, and the childlike heart of one man and one beast splashed and frolicked by the river for a while, and then he was about to go ashore and continue his journey. When he turned around, he saw the young man by the riverbank with his hands crossed on his chest, looking at him intently. The young man suddenly said, "Your blade is good, did you build it yourself?" It turned out that the young man saw the two swords behind Fang Zhong's back, so he asked. Fang Zhong shook his head and said, "No, one of these two blades was given by the master, but the other was taken from someone else's hand. ”

"Oh? It's a pity, although the quality of your two swords is good, there seems to be something wrong with the forging method, and it has never shown its goodness. The young man shook his head wryly, feeling sorry for the two swords.

When Fang Zhong got this Feiyan Sword from Tianxuan Palace Wu Nian's hand, he had already heard her say that this sword was forged by the people of the Sword Casting Hall in the wrong way at that time, and it was only a half-grade, and after listening to this young man's words at this moment, it seemed that this person had already seen the clues, and this attainment was really good. Fang Zhong said with some reverence: "Your Excellency's eyes are like a torch, it is true, when this sword was forged, it was smelted by the disciples of the sect, but because the wrong mountain spring water was used, the fire qi was suppressed, and the sword was damaged. ”

The young man sneered and said, "The people in your sect are really stupid, how can such a good sword be tempered with mountain spring water." The sword is also divided into yīn yang cold and heat, and the spring water is naturally sufficient for the quenching of ordinary blades, but if you want to create jīng products, you need to find another matching thing to guide in order to stimulate the jīng pith of the sword. The Divine Blade has never heard of being forged with only water, and the time and place are indispensable. If you want to forge it into a jīng product, this red sword cannot be quenched with yīn cold water vapor, and this green sword naturally cannot be forged with hot and dry things. Do you think I'm right? ”

Fang Zhong praised: "You are right, I didn't expect Your Excellency to be so knowledgeable about the way of sword casting. ”

The young man sneered: "What is this, I am a family heirloom." Didn't you see it just now, and the blades on the carriage were all made by ourselves. ”

Fang Zhong said suddenly: "It turns out that Your Excellency makes a living by smelting iron, no wonder this is the case. Then how do you think my sword should be exercised? ”

The young man shook his head and said, "I have never known you all my life, why should I sue you!" ”
