Chapter 486 Ten years to sharpen a sword

"Xia Yu? It doesn't sound like a great name. Dazhe said.

"Whoever looks at a person should not judge him by his appearance or by his sword, nor should he judge his good or bad by his name. According to legend, Xia Yu's sword is the bronze of the first mountain of the gods cast by the Yellow Emperor, and it was passed on to Xia Yu. The full name is Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, which is a sword of the Holy Dao. In ancient times, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was the leader of the demon clan, Chi You, and the gods opened the mountain to take the essence of heaven and earth to cast divine soldiers to fight against Chi You. It's a pity that it backfired, although the sword body was natural, there was no sword energy. Seeing that Chiyou's army was about to invade the human world, the Yellow Emperor used the uncast divine soldiers to kill Chiyou.

Due to the limited spiritual power of the unforged divine sword and the inability to defeat Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor could only take down the five divine stones left by Nuwa when she mended the sky, and then cut off Chiyou's head, and used the spiritual power of his whole body to inject the mending stones, sealed Chiyou in the underground labyrinth, and scattered the mending stones that had taken Chiyou's soul to the human world. In the middle of the toss, the divine soldiers cast by the Yellow Emperor fell into the hands of Xia Yu. After a hundred years of wind and frost, the originally bare sword body magically appeared patterns: the sword body is engraved with the sun, moon and stars on one side, and the mountains, rivers and plants are engraved on the other. On the hilt of the sword, the art of farming and animal husbandry is written, and the policy of unification of the four seas is written on the other. With this sword in Xia Yu's hand, under his jurisdiction, human beings gradually learned to farm and raise livestock, and to be morally virtuous. After Xia Yu died, people named this sword - Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword. Uncle Lu said.

"But why didn't such an Excalibur appear here?" I asked.

"The ten famous swords, their whereabouts were originally uncertain, this person who built this sword house. It is already a miracle to be able to gather nine famous swords here, Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword is the sword of the Holy Dao, it is not the same way as the world, it is not easy to appear in the world, and it is naturally not easy to find. Uncle Lu said.

"Lao Lu heard you say this, it is really beneficial, I didn't find it before, Lao Lu, you are still proficient in this way." Yun Ximing said.

"Because of my interest, I also like cold weapons. That's why I did a lot of research. All right. Everyone's physical strength is almost recovered after eating, let's not forget about business, we have to quickly find out how to get to the exit of the next floor. Uncle Lu said.

So everyone scattered and began to look for clues. But this sword house turned out to be just an ordinary sword house. Nothing. Only those scattered here and there were sword-forging tools everywhere.

"Old Lu, I really haven't found anything, and the sword-forging tools here are all very old, and there are no colleagues at all." Yun Ximing said.

"Let's not talk about that. Lao Lu, all the swords in this are famous swords, do you just bring one, let's send it? You see, we have about the same number of people here, how good it is to divide one person and one person, and it is not in vain that these famous swords are corrupted here. Dazhe began to be greedy for money again.

"It's not impossible." It's rare that Uncle Lu, who has always been upright, actually let go, this is really a shocking move, "It's really a pity that these ancient swords are placed here, if you want to take them out to see the light of day, it's okay, as long as you can take them out." Uncle Lu said.

"This thing doesn't sink, so there's nothing you can't take out." Dazhe said.

"Look at the blades of those ancient swords, although they have gone through thousands of years, they are naturally sharp, and there is a faint blue light on them, it can be seen that they are poisoned, most of the ancient poisons are unreasonable, and they can be kept for a long time, if you really have the guts, try to see if you can take them away, if I am the owner of this sword house, I will not be willing for someone to take away the ancient swords here, I have worked hard to find them, and I must keep them for myself." Uncle Lu said.

Dazhe gave a cold war, "Let's hurry up and find an exit." He changed the subject.

"Uncle Lu, why did you say that the master of the Sword House only collected these ancient famous swords, but did not create a sword himself?" I asked.

"Looking at the sword model he made, he should have planned to cast the Immortal Sword, but unfortunately he never found Xia Yu's sword, so he had to give up." Uncle Lu said.

"But there are so many large and small sword models here, and the swords in them are all half-finished, what? Could it be that the owner of this sword house is actually a person who can't forge swords? So it's just a collection? Yun Xian asked.

"Young Master of the Li family, what did you just say?" Uncle Lu asked suddenly.

"I said... I said that the owner of this sword house does not know how to forge swords. Yun Xian said.

"It's not this one, it's the previous one." Uncle Lu asked.

"I said that there are a lot of half-practiced swords here, but they are not finished, and they are half-finished." Yun Xian said.

"You guys split up and take a look, are these half-finished swords not quenched by the blades?" Uncle Lu asked, so everyone observed separately, and sure enough, those semi-finished products didn't seem to be so valued, and they weren't quenched.

"I see, it seems that if we want to leave this level, we still have to do what the sword house should do, which is to forge swords." Uncle Lu said. "These half-finished swords are all unedged, and this is also the most critical part of the production of a sword, there are so many swords here, I don't think it's that the owner of the sword house can't cast swords, but he deliberately casts these swords into semi-finished products, which is to test the comer." Uncle Lu said.

"But, Lao Lu, none of us know how to forge swords, if we can't make it, won't we be trapped here for the rest of our lives." Sister Wang Na said.

"Yes, I heard that if we sharpen our swords in ten years, is it possible that we really want to stay here for ten years?" Arrow said.

"Of course you don't have a problem, you're a plant, it's a big deal that you can take root here, we can't, let alone ten years, let's stay here for a month, and it will become your nourishment." Dazhe said.

"You can't blame me, you humans are fragile." Arrow said.

"Anyway, we'll have to try." Yun Ximing said.

So everyone took a handful of semi-finished products and began to polish them carefully according to Uncle Lu's guidance.

"Lao Lu, I don't understand something." Dazhe said while grinding, "You said that there are so many of these swords, should we have to sharpen each one, besides, if we sharpen a sword, we can find a way out?" There's not even a door here, so how can you get out? ”

Dazhe's sentence is really to the point, even if we sharpen our swords, it is still unknown whether we can get out or not. At that moment, Uncle Lu decided that the boys would sharpen their swords, and the girls would look for any places that seemed to be able to go out and have traces to follow.

"Yin Yin, you all look carefully, my hands are blistered, don't let my blisters be in vain. By the way, you look at the lampholder, didn't we find the clue on the lampholder last time? Dazhe said.

"It is unlikely that the lampholder has a clue, first of all, the light of this layer is not as bright as the previous layer, and the number of lampholders is less than that of the previous layer, and the light is not very useful for casting swords, there is a special sword, when casting, even the light must be completely hidden, and the bright light cannot be seen, so the probability of the lampholder having clues is not large." Uncle Lu said as he helped us find it.

"Lao Lu, Lao Lu, come and see here, what do you think this is?" Sister Wang Na suddenly pointed to the wall behind the sword fan of the Precious Immortal Sword and said, We hurried over, and on the wall between them, in the center, there was a gap half a centimeter wide and three long, because just now we all thought that it was left by the loosening of the wall tiles, so we didn't pay attention.

"It looks a bit like the wall tiles are loose, and the cracks in the wall are exposed." Min Lan said.

"It's quite deep inside, I just tried the scrap iron pieces on the ground, but I didn't touch the end." Sister Wang Na said.

"It seems that this is it, this should be a keyhole." Uncle Lu said.

"Keyhole? So the key... Could it be those semi-finished products that have rusted? I asked.

"That's the best explanation right now." Uncle Lu said.

"You guys, work hard, this is the keyhole, and the key is in the hands of one of you." Min Lan said.

"My eldest lady, what you said is easy to do, you should come and grind it." Dazhe complained. Uncle Lu then walked over to check their results one by one, and it was indeed unsatisfactory, except for Yun Ximing's eyebrows, the semi-finished products in the hands of Yun Xian and Dazhe did not change in the slightest.

"The method of cutting the sword is very simple, first use a rough oil stone to open a blade is a narrow small strip, and then use a fine oil stone to polish it is basically a bit of a sharp edge, and finally use a natural whetstone to fine, that is, carefully grind to open a sharp blade, until the final fine finish is as sharp as a razor. In modern times, many people think that the oil stone is slow, so they use an electric grinding wheel or an angle grinder with grinding wheels, and the effect can also be used. But in ancient times, there was no such thing, only slowly polishing it by hand. Therefore, sharpening a sword in ten years is not a joke. Uncle Lu said, "Sharpening the sword also requires injecting emotion into the sword itself, and the reason why you are not effective is probably because you are not a person who loves swords." ”

"Lao Lu, you actually say cool words, you love swords, then you come." Dazhe said.

Uncle Lu nodded, sat down, and slowly selected from a large pile of semi-finished products on the ground, each sword, he took it in his hand and weighed it, and finally chose a sword that looked very weighty. He took out one of his short swords, set them aside, and held the half-finished one in both hands and looked at it for a long time before he began to polish it. As soon as Uncle Lu got started, we immediately felt the difference, and the sound he made when he polished was different, very sharp and harsh, and then everyone had to listen to the work in their hands and cover their ears. After grinding for more than ten hours, the semi-finished product in Uncle Lu's hand really had a shallow blade, and the results were remarkable, and Dazhe was dumbfounded.

More than twenty minutes passed, and the sword in Uncle Lu's hand suddenly made a crisp sound of "click", and the sword body that was originally covered with rust turned out to be like a shell, and the rust fell off one after another, and a shiny sword was held in Uncle Lu's hand, Uncle Lu sighed and said, "It's done."
