Chapter 15
Nan Yang's voice was calm, and he couldn't hear joy and anger: "What are you doing here?" β
Yun Tang's mind was so confused for a while that he couldn't figure it out, so he visited privately and accepted apprentices privately...... No, it's not an apprentice, but it's always ...... How much did Master hear? Master's face can't always be seen, is this just a common question, or is it a metaphor for letting her recruit herself?
Shuyu heard the movement, leaned on the window and looked out, supported her chin with her arm and said with a smile: "Sister Yuntang came to give Qinghuan clothes." β
Nan Yang glanced at Shuyu, and asked Yuntang again: "Why don't you come during the day?" Have a door that doesn't go through the window? β
Shuyu saw that the corners of Yuntang's forehead were sweating, so she took over the words for her: "Then why don't you come during the day to visit Qinghuan?" Do you have a door that doesn't go away, and you also open the window? β
Nan Yang was blocked and speechless for a while, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked a little stunned. Qinghuan chuckled on the side, it was the first time in her life that she had seen her master show such a cute expression.
Nan Yang paused for a moment, looking at Shuyu's face with deep dimples with a smile, but he was not displeased, and only said to Yuntang: "Go back to the Rong Dry Pavilion." β
didn't dare to stay longer, Yuntang immediately followed Nanyang and left.
Nanyang rested for two days, and after being refreshed, he took the sword-casting stone and rushed to the sword-casting pool again.
Rong Huai slowly poured out the slippery stone from the brocade bag, the material could not be called a stone, it was a strange texture between stone and metal. Rong Huai is a person who has seen the world, especially the famous swordsmith, who has cast so many famous swords and touched thousands of ores. But he was the one who had never forged a sword from such a stone.
"This stone is special. I only saw it once when the Master gave it to you, and this is the second time I have seen it, and I don't know anything about it. Wait, I'll take a good look. β
Rong Huai took the sword-forging stone and went to a wooden frame full of ores to compare it carefully.
The things that had been burning in the pool suddenly made a series of gurgling sounds, as if they were boiling, and there was a tendency to gradually intensify, making a lot of noise.
Rong Huai hurriedly put down the things in his hand and walked over to take a closer look. He looked at it for a moment, then picked up some powder and sprinkled it in.
"I remember, three years ago, my senior brother said that it was inconvenient to forge a sword in the past few years, so was it planned to cast this sword at that time?" Nan Yang crossed Rong Huai's shoulder and looked at the molten slurry in the pool.
Rong Huai nodded: "Yes, it's been three years." It's been three years...... Or is it stagnant at the smelting stage...... You see, right? Casting an extraordinary sword cannot be achieved for many years. β
There was a helpless sigh in that tone.
Rong Huai watched the molten slurry gradually ease down, and his brows relaxed slightly. He walked back to the wooden frame full of ore, and continued to look at the unique sword-forging stone.
After a long time, Rong Huai took the stone and paced away, walked to another pot in the sword-casting pool, and put the stone in it. The heat of the boiling heat in the pool was scorching, and the tongues of fire were soaring, licking the edge of the molten pot wantonly, making people feel the burning heat just by looking at the scene.
"I can see some fame, but not much. Start smelting first, and then talk about the ore powder to remove impurities, and don't act rashly. Look at the heat, stirring and stirring from time to time. β
With that, Rong Huai walked back to the pot he had refined, focusing on it.
Nan Yang secretly pondered the essentials. She rolled up her sleeves and stirred hard with both hands an iron rod inserted into the molten slurry, but after a while, Nan Yang was sweating hot.
The sword-casting stone that had just entered the refining was extremely unstable, making a small popping sound of beeping and beeping, and then the sound it made was extremely weird, croaking, and getting louder and louder.
The surface of the molten slurry suddenly began to swell like a boil, as if something was about to come out, and bubbles kept pouring out and bursting. Rong Huai heard the movement, his eyes tightened, and he hurriedly moved over and pinched Nan Yang's shoulder, and pulled it back.
"Be careful!"
ε²ββ!!
"Hiss......" Nan Yang snorted.
It's still a little late.
With the violent movement, the surging molten slurry splashed out of the mouth of the pot, and the fiery red hot liquid splashed on Nanyang's thin white wrist, instantly burning a terrible wound. Red molten slurry, red flesh, all paste.
Rong Huai took Nan Yang's wrist and immediately smothered it into the ice pool and cleaned it carefully. He knew how painful it was, it wasn't ordinary hot water, it was a high-temperature molten slurry containing toxic minerals! If it is processed later, it can corrode the whole person's wrist.
Rao is like this, Nan Yang sweated in pain, but he endured it without saying a word.
Such habitual forbearance is distressing for no reason.
"It's my negligence, sit down here." Rong Huai sprinkled a handful of unknown powder into the churning molt, and the contents of the pot immediately calmed down obediently like a beast with its claws pinched.
The bloody wrist looked extremely terrifying, a splash of water stains, and the most unbearable thing was the toxic corrosion, although it was not fatal, but it really hurt people to death.
But Nanyang didn't say a word, just frowned, and quietly watched Rong Huai take the blade and cut off the carrion bit by bit, picking off the poison, as if the hand was not hers. If you change someone else, you must be afraid to faint just by looking at it.
All the pain she was accustomed to hiding in her cold eyes. It's not that she pretends to be strong, but she just cries out in pain and shouts out, doesn't it hurt? She never wanted to waste her time doing things that didn't make sense.
"Fortunately, it hurt your left hand, which does not affect your pen and sword. Don't worry, I've had injuries like this too, and I'll be able to recover completely after a while. It's just that it can leave a scar......"
"Out of the way." Nan Yang replied lightly.
Rong Huai sighed: "After so many years of being in the same door with you, you have rarely been injured like this. It's all for your little apprentice. With all due respect, the feelings in Qinghuan's child's eyes are too rich and intense, and tempering will only make her mature, but it can't grind away her desires, and she is not suitable for cultivation. β
She ...... It is indeed a person who is easy to use affection. Maybe she can live more comfortably away from a place like Beizhi with few desires. Nan Yang set his eyes on the burning sword-casting pool, but the words turned around, "However, if you enter my door, there is no reason to leave." As long as she doesn't want to leave, she will always be my apprentice. β
Rong Huaicai bandaged Nan Yang, and the heavy stone door of the sword casting pool rumbled, opened a crack, and a person walked in.
It was Yu Xiu, who was dressed in a blue and white robe, and his eyebrows were very tight, as if he had something important to visit.
"Senior brother? What wind blew you busy man into the swordsmith's pool? Rong Huai laughed at Yu Xiu.
Yu Xiu said in a deep voice: "It just so happens that my junior sister is also here." There are some important things, you and I will go down the mountain. β
Rong Huai shook his head: "I can't leave for the time being." Why do you want to send out the three lords? β
"It's a long story. The Burning Heaven Gate's Flame Banner crossed the Yushui Pass, and there was some dispute in Los Angeles. β¦β¦ To be exact, they want to seize Los Angeles, which has already touched the imperial court. β
"Senior brother means...... This time the order is ......"
Yu Xiu nodded: "It was an order from the emperor himself to the head of the family. As he spoke, Yu Xiu's brows furrowed even tighter, "You also know that the Northern Punishment has always been the road of the world, and it is its responsibility to take the stability of the people in the world as its own responsibility. If you want to get the peace of the people, the society must not be turbulent, although the northern punishment has never been a court slave, but the past dynasties have openly and secretly helped the monarch. Seven years ago, it was precisely because of the powerful threat of the Heavenly Falcon Sect that the Northern Punishment agreed to ...... with the Valley of Troubled Flowers Don't talk about that, this time the Burning Heaven Gate was so rampant that it took over the city, and the emperor knew that the Burning Heaven Gate was made by the remnants of the Heavenly Falcon Sect back then, so he made it clear that he wanted the Lord to go there in person. β
Rong Huai said: "I see. If the people of the single flame banner fall, I am afraid that they will also enter the Yushui Pass when they hear the thunder, so they will call the lord to go. In my opinion, the Burning Heaven Gate was mostly a temptation this time, and the time to enter the Central Plains had not yet come, so he did not dare to make a big move. β
Yu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "That's what Shizun means. But the court has issued an order, no matter how you say it, you should take a trip. Ranhua Valley also sent people, and the northern punishment couldn't deal with it clearly. β
Nan Yang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Senior Brother Rong Huai is indeed inconvenient to go down the mountain. I'll go with the senior brother for a trip, and go to the two of them, which won't be a shame on him. β
Rong Huai approved: "This is the best." also gave the court a warning by the way, how much face did he think he had, and his emperor would call out three and three? was too obedient, but it broke the faΓ§ade of my northern punishment. It should also make the court jealous. β
Nan Yang was silent. After all, she is still a prince, and she can't say anything.
Yu Xiu said: "It's okay, junior sister, let's go with me." The matter is urgent, and there is no room for delay. If Los Angeles is really taken by the Burning Heaven Gate, it will be really tricky. β
"Senior brother, you take care of Nan Yang, she has a new injury on her wrist." Rong Huai instructed.
"You don't have to worry about it. I have my own medicine to dispense for her. Yu Xiu glanced at the things in the sword-forging pool, looked away lightly, and turned to leave.
"I'll help you look at the sword, don't worry." Rong Huai said thoughtfully to Nanyang.
Nan Yang nodded, and also left with Yu Xiu.
