Chapter 433: Sword Forging Furnace
"Are you going to leave again?" Anya asked.
Su Qiubai nodded helplessly and sighed, "We have been so busy for more than a month. ”
Anya smiled: "From the time I came out with you, I knew that we would inevitably have to run around, so I was ready for a long time." Don't complain and let's go. ”
Su Qiubai glanced at Anya gratefully, he didn't know any other woman besides her who could endure this kind of upheaval and dangerous life.
Two days later, in the morning, the two came to Shou'an County as promised, and as soon as they got out of the car, they called Liang Xiuqi, only to know that he had arrived here long before them.
"The holy weapons are all here, right? If we can, we'd better set off towards the Qiyun Mountains right away. After meeting, Liang Xiuqi said directly.
Su Qiubai shook the lockbox in his hand and said, "Naturally, you can leave at any time." ”
Liang Xiuqi nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around and took them into his car.
"Where did you get the car?" Su Qiubai asked in surprise.
Liang Xiuqi said with a smile: "Mountain people have their own clever plans. ”
"You geodemons don't have branches in such a remote place, do you?" Su Qiubai asked incredulously.
Liang Xiuqi smiled and did not speak.
The car drove all the way in the direction of the Qiyun Mountain Range, and a battle with Ta Xin was inevitable after all, let alone killing him, Su Qiubai didn't even know if he could survive.
When the car reaches the bottom of the mountain, there is no way forward. Su Qiubai got out of the car and saw that this was the place where he and Mosa had entered the mountain.
"What a coincidence, I entered the mountain from here two months ago." Su Qiubai couldn't help but sigh.
"That shows that the person who took you into the mountain is quite discerning, and entering from here is the best way to go." Liang Xiuqi said.
Su Qiubai asked, "You've been here too?" ”
Liang Xiuqi nodded, "After all, it is the place where my ancestors lived, so it's understandable for me to come and see it." Let's go, I'll take you to the swordsmithing platform. ”
"Sword Forge Table?" Su Qiubai asked.
Liang Xiuqi replied as he walked forward with the two of them: "That was the place where the Momu people forged their weapons thousands of years ago, and it was there that the Yanli bow was forged. Legend has it that the sword-forging furnace has a special power, and the flames it produces are capable of forging the best weapons in the world. Of course, this is just a legend, and there is no way to verify it now. ”
The place he went to the Sword Casting Platform was different from the direction Su Qiubai had gone to the abyss, so he didn't have a chance to experience the Phantom Forest again. But now that Tasin was gone, he wasn't sure if the phantom arrays would still be in effect.
After following Liang Xiuqi for most of the day, some traces of human life began to appear in Su Qiubai's field of vision. However, because it is so old, most of them are hidden by grass and trees, and it is difficult to detect without looking closely.
"This is where the Mom once lived?" Anya asked curiously.
Liang Xiuqi shook his head, "It's not there yet, but it's not far away." This is only a part of it, the Mom tribe was a big tribe back then, and the ruins are almost all over most of the Qiyun Mountain Range. It's just that after thousands of years, most of them have not been preserved. ”
Anya said with some regret: "That's a pity, these are very valuable cultural heritages." ”
Liang Xiuqi smiled and said, "There are still many lost monuments like the Mom Clan, and there are still many in Huaxia Kingdom. When we get rid of Tasin, maybe we can report the ruins to the state and let them protect the last things that remain, otherwise in a few hundred years, these things may really be gone. ”
"That's a good idea, but don't you Moms like to be known about your existence?" Su Qiubai asked.
Liang Xiuqi sighed and said, "I don't know what the other clansmen think, but in my opinion, the reason why the secret was kept in the past was to prevent Ta Xin from being released, but now that this qiē has happened, as long as we kill Ta Xin, there is nothing in the world that threatens us, and this secret will no longer need to be kept." ”
Su Qiubai thought about it, the Mom tribe had fled incognito before, and it was just to save his life, so thinking about it, he inadvertently released Taxin, maybe it was a good thing to break first and then stand up, as long as he killed Taxin, it would undoubtedly be a relief for the descendants of the Mom clan.
As they progressed, more and more ruins could be seen, and there were only a few remnants of bricks and tiles, but now they could see many dilapidated buildings.
Those houses made of stone have weathered after years of wind and rain, but they can still be vaguely seen what they looked like back then. In addition to the house, he can occasionally see some other daily necessities, and in a trance, Su Qiubai actually has the illusion of traveling through time and space, and the bits and pieces of the lives of the ancients seem to be vividly displayed in front of his eyes.
"When I arrived, this cave is where the sword-casting furnace is located, and after all these years, I don't know if the furnace can still be used." Liang Xiuqi said suddenly.
Su Qiubai picked up a stick and pushed aside the thick vines covered by the hole, and glanced inside, and suddenly a strong smell of moisture came to his face.
"Let's go check it out, I hope it still works." Su Qiubai said and walked in first.
Illuminating the road with a fireball, Su Qiubai looked around as he walked, and found that the mountain walls on both sides were covered with green moss, and the same was true under his feet.
"It's damp here, and I'm worried that even if the stove works, the fire may not be lit." Su Qiubai said.
Liang Xiuqi also found out about this, and he was also a little worried in his heart. "It stands to reason that the sword-forging furnace should be in a very dry place, but after thousands of years, the furnace has not been lit again, and it is understandable that it has become damp."
The structure of the cave was not complicated, and the three of them walked for a while before they came to the end.
When Su Qiubai saw the appearance of the sword-casting furnace, he was stunned.
The people of the Momu tribe are too particular about pomp and circumstance, it's just a sword-forging furnace, is it necessary to build it so big?
I saw that the mountain wall in front of him was carved into the form of a giant beast, which was the kind of dragon-headed and lion-like monster he had killed under the abyss, and the blood basin of the giant beast was the sword-casting furnace, and it was roughly estimated that this furnace must be at least seven or eight meters wide.
"Was this furnace used to be used for shipbuilding? Why is it so big? Su Qiubai couldn't help but joke.
Liang Xiuqi shrugged his shoulders, "Don't ask me, I didn't make it." ”
"It's going to take a lot of effort to light this stove." Su Qiubai looked at the huge sword-casting furnace in front of him and said worriedly.
Liang Xiuqi was in no mood to complain, he just shone a flashlight and carefully observed the sword-casting furnace in front of him.
"You'd better pray, after thousands of years, the effect of this sword-forging furnace is still there, otherwise it won't be able to repair the Yanli Bow." Liang Xiuqi reminded.
Su Qiubai then remembered the serious matter, so he asked, "If there is no problem with the furnace, how can the Yanli bow be repaired?" Throw it straight in? ”
Liang Xiuqi glanced at him helplessly and said, "Do you think what we are going to forge is a kitchen knife?" How can it be that easy? Originally, this sword-forging furnace was also used to dismantle the Yanli Bow, plus a sealing spell, so this spell was also used to repair the Yanli Bow. ”
Su Qiubai looked at him hopefully and asked, "You'd better know this spell, otherwise we'll come in vain." ”
Liang Xiuqi smiled: "What do you say? ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a thick notebook from his bag, which contained all the stuff about the Mom Clan.
"Now is not the time to think about this, we'd better light this swordsmith furnace before we talk about anything else." Liang Xiuqi reminded.
Su Qiubai used a wooden stick to fiddle in the sword-casting furnace and asked, "In addition to the ashes, there are also a lot of stones in it, are these all necessary things for sword casting?" Is there any mention in that notebook? ”
Liang Xiuqi nodded, "The materials needed to forge the sword are all available in this mountain, and the most basic is firewood, which is made by drying a tree called Pam. In addition to this, there is a need for a stone that can burn, the kind you see in the ashes, which is somewhat similar to coal, but far more incendiary than it. At the end of the casting, a special powder is added, which is made by drying and grinding the larvae of a bug, and this is also the most important material, without which the things cast here are just ordinary goods. ”
"Then let's go our separate ways, I'll cut down the tree, and you go find the rock. Anya, the bugs will be handed over to you. Su Qiubai naturally assigned the tasks of the three of them.
As soon as she heard that she was responsible for catching insects, Anya suddenly felt a sense of creeping, she was a girl after all, and she had an innate fear of insects.
Seeing Anya's expression, Su Qiubai said helplessly: "This job is relatively easy, I can't let you cut down trees or move stones by a girl, right?" ”
Anya had no choice but to nod when she heard this, and agreed stubbornly.
"I'll take you to identify these things, and then we'll go our separate ways." Liang Xiuqi said, and led the two of them to the outside of the cave.
Fortunately, although more than 4,000 years have passed, it is still not difficult to find these things in the Qiyun Mountain Range. After a busy time, Anya found that her work was not easy. So the trees and stones are larger and easier to see. And if you want to find a specific kind of bug in this large forest, it will be a test of patience and eyesight.
And before she could find the bugs she really needed, she had to eliminate more of them, so at the end of the day, she felt like she was going to collapse.
Before dark, the three of them returned to the cave where the sword furnace was located.
Liang Xiuqi counted the fruits of the labor of the three of them, and felt that it was basically enough, and Anya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
