Chapter Eighty-Five: First Snow

When Shi Crack led the way in front, it seemed that he did it on purpose, and he actually lifted the true yuan all the way to take the technique of leaping.

Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but smile when he saw this, because he had to take care of Su Xiaoxiao around him, so it was impossible to compete with the other party, so he said to Wuxin and Qingya Daoren: "Donkey raiser, little monk, you two don't have to take care of me, since he wants to try to be superior, you two can show him your skills." ”

Qingya Daoist followed behind Mu Qiuhuang unhurriedly, and only replied with two words to his words: "boring".

Seeing that Qingya Daoist didn't have this thought, Mu Qiuhuang smiled helplessly, turned his head and said to Wuxin: "Little monk, you go!" Be sure to give him to me in terms of body method. ”

Hearing this, he turned around and smiled at Mu Qiuhuang, waved his hand and said, "Amitabha, Buddhism pays attention to the precept of 'hatred'. ”

Seeing that they were both like this, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help laughing, and said to them: "Look at the two of you, you don't have the slightest desire to be competitive, if this falls in the eyes of the stone brother just now, I'm afraid that you are not as good as him?" ”

Hearing this, Ji Ruoxue twisted his arm fiercely, and explained in a low voice: "I explained it to you, senior brother's personality is like this, in fact, he doesn't have any bad intentions, why do you deliberately pry ...... them?" ”

Mu Qiuhuang smiled at Ji Ruoxue, and hurriedly promised: "Okay! I promise you, as long as he doesn't deliberately provoke me? I don't take it upon myself to make trouble. ”

"Hmm." Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang and continued: "After all, this is my former master. ”

"Hmm." Mu Qiuhuang nodded and agreed, but deliberately ignored the stone crack that was about to disappear in front of him, but very leisurely admired the grand scene of this sword-casting mansion "treading the snow and looking for plums".

It's just that there is a time when the road is finished. Although Mu Qiuhuang deliberately grinded along the way, the group quickly crossed the trail and came to the sword house.

Looking at the magnificent house in front of him, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but stick out his tongue and said, "Xiaoxiao thought that the Sword Casting House was just a grass house? I didn't expect it to look like this? ”

Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly when he heard this, and quipped: "This is really what you think." You know, people are also one of the four great sword immortals, and there are countless disciples, if there is really only one sword house? Is it possible for these disciples to live in the snow? Then you can't freeze them to death? ”

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. Ji Ruoxue didn't know what she remembered? suddenly pinched Mu Qiuhuang fiercely.

"What's wrong again?" Mu Qiuhuang looked at Ji Ruoxue with an innocent expression.

"Not how? Miss Ben is just happy to pinch you, how to drop? Ji Ruoxue looked confident.

Mu Qiuhuang also smiled "poof" when he saw this, because he suddenly remembered that Ji Ruoxue had told him that when she ran away alone because of the marriage contract, she had lived in the snow. Thinking of this, Mu Qiuhuang also hurriedly laughed and said, "Blame me, blame me, if you don't understand it, pinch me again......"

"Why did you come up?" Shi Crack, who was standing in front of the sword house, was a little dissatisfied.

"Senior brother, don't blame! We just have a nostalgia for the beautiful scenery along the way, so there is a slight delay. Ji Ruoxue hurriedly explained before Mu Qiuhuang spoke.

Shi Crack said nonchalantly when he heard this: "Isn't it just a few broken plum blossoms?" What's there to see? If you really like it? Later, I will go down the mountain and pick a few flowers and take them away. ”

Hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang's senses for the stone crack couldn't help but increase a little favor, and he said in his heart, could he really be like Ji Ruoxue said, he was just a personality before, and nothing else?

"Let's go! I'll take you to the Sword House. Shi Crack said and walked forward.

Mu Qiuhuang noticed that he didn't even look at Su Xiaoxiao this time, and couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and it seemed that he was really wrong to blame him just now, he didn't think anything wrong about Su Xiaoxiao.

Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang's appearance, and said with a grin: "Look! What am I talking about? People are bent on swords, how can you be a womanizer like you. ”

"Shame! Ashamed! Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly smiled and confessed.

As they spoke, everyone also came to the back of the complex. After coming to the back, everyone found that the snow around them seemed to have stopped suddenly, and then there was a low mountain peak in front of them, and the strange thing was that the low mountain was bare, and no grass and trees survived, and what was even stranger was that in addition to no grass and trees, there were no snowflakes on it, and the surrounding peaks were already snow-capped...... And Mu Qiuhuang and the others felt a burst of warmth under their feet since they stepped into this place, but the temperature around them was even more damp and cold than in the snow just now.

"What a strange place?" Mu Qiuhuang didn't murmur a word.

When Ji Ruoxue heard this, she looked at Mu Qiuhuang and Su Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "This is the 'Snow Wonderland' that you two have always wanted to see before." ”

"Is this a wonderland in the snow? It doesn't seem to be as magical as it rumors. Su Xiao muttered.

Ji Ruoxue pointed to the small mountain in front of her and explained with a smile: "Look over there, although the place where we are standing now is called the Sword Casting House, but this small hill is the real Sword Casting House, that is, the place where the Dao Sword Immortal used to cast swords, and the ground we are standing on now will feel warm because there is a fire underneath, the same ...... It is precisely because of the fire that the vegetation on this hill cannot survive, and the heat rises, and the snowflakes will naturally melt when they encounter the heat and can no longer fall, why do we feel colder now than just now? It is in response to the common sense that 'snow is not cold, but snow is cold'. ”

"I see, you are so knowledgeable, mistress!" Su Xiao smiled and praised.

Mu Qiuhuang also smiled slightly, gave Ji Ruoxue a thumbs up, and praised: "It turns out that you know so much." ”

When Ji Ruoxue heard this, she stuck out her tongue at Mu Qiuhuang, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not!" Because I didn't like to practice very much, I ......"

"Haha......" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"By the way? Brother Shi, Su Wen Lingshi is the one with the widest number of disciples among the sword immortals, why have we come all the way, except for you, Brother Shi, we have never even touched anyone else? Mu Qiuhuang was a little puzzled.

Shi Crack glanced at Mu Qiuhuang and explained, "They are busy with their own cultivation. ”

"Oh." Mu Qiuhuang thought for a moment and continued: "It seems that Brother Shi is really the person who carries the Ding in the younger generation of this Sword Casting Mansion, and he doesn't need to practice day and night like them?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Crack complained a little: "Isn't this because you are coming today? If it weren't for the fact that my master had asked me to come and entertain you, I would have been practicing swords elsewhere at this time. ”

"So that's it?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm ashamed, it turned out that we delayed Brother Shi's cultivation. ”

"It's good to know!" Shi Crack said.

"This ......" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but glance at Ji Ruoxue and the others, thinking to himself how this stone crack looked even more "stunned" than the Qingya Dao people when they had never gone down the mountain?

Ji Ruoxue explained in a low voice: "Don't pay attention to him, his character is like this, although he doesn't have any bad intentions, he always offends people in words." ”

"It doesn't matter." Mu Qiuhuang shook his head with a smile and said, "I like this kind of person, this kind of person is relatively pure and simple, if this kind of person is all in the world?" The world can be simpler. ”

"By the way, what kind of sword will the Sword Immortal forge for you?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but say curiously.

Hearing this, Ji Ruoxue showed a smile in her eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't know either?" ”

At this moment, I saw a figure from far and near, and in the blink of an eye, it came to everyone.

"I've seen the master." Stone Crack was the first to speak.

Mu Qiuhuang also saw Ou Yezi's true face at Ji Ruoxue's apprenticeship banquet, so he also quickly tidied up his clothes, and saluted the Dao Sword Immortal at the same moment as Ji Ruoxue.

Ou Yezi waved his hand at the few of them to show that there was no need to be polite, and then, after looking at the body of Qingya Daoren and Wuxin, he exclaimed: "The future life is terrifying. ”

"Senior, why are you the only one who came out? What about my master? Ji Ruoxue asked Ou Yezi.

After all, he was also a registered disciple under Ou Yezi's name for a few years, although the title of master and apprentice is no longer there, Ji Ruoxue is more familiar with Ou Yezi than a few of them.

"After your master brought the cold iron, he went down the mountain." Ou Yezi replied.

"Went down the mountain?" Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but be a little disappointed and said, "Master, why didn't he say goodbye to me?" ”

"Maybe he was reluctant to leave because he was afraid of seeing you, right?" Ou Yezi smiled, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ji Ruoxue, saying, "This is what your master entrusted me to give you." ”

"Thank you, senior." After Ji Ruoxue thanked her, she took the letter.

Before Ji Ruoxue could open the envelope, she saw Ou Yezi take a step forward, facing the sword casting house, and then after forming a complex handprint with both hands, he shouted: "The snow falls, the sword is completed!" Come! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a blue light flying straight out of the Sword Casting Mansion.

Ou Yezi smiled slightly when he saw this, stretched out his palm, and then saw the blue light fall straight on Ou Yezi's hand.

At the moment when the blue light flew out, everyone's eyes were attracted by it, just when it flew in the air, it was not real, but after falling into Ou Yezi's hand at this time, it was considered to reveal its true face.

Everyone stared at this sword intently, only to see that this sword was actually a sword body and a sword hilt that were integrated, the whole body was dark cyan, and the sword body was not wide, only two fingers wide, but it gave people an incomparably thick feeling...... Ou Yezi threw the sword into the sky, and everyone's eyes also moved up with the sword, and after a while, the sword fell back into Ou Yezi's hand, at this time, everyone noticed that a thin layer of ice crystals had condensed on the sword body, and strangely, the sword handle was not affected at all.

Ou Yezi nodded with satisfaction, and explained to everyone: "This sword is made of thousand-year-old cold iron, the sword is three feet three inches and three points, and the sword weighs thirty-three pounds and three taels. ”

"Is this sword that heavy?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be a little suspicious when he looked at the sword, although it looked thick, but it was not as exaggerated as saying that there were thirty-three catties and three taels?

Ou Yezi didn't bother to explain to him when he heard this, and threw the sword to Mu Qiuhuang.

Mu Qiuhuang took the sword with his hand, although he had prepared before, he was still shocked by the weight of the sword. Mu Qiuhuang danced with the trend, only to hear the crisp sound of the sword, like a phoenix.

"Good sword! It's really a good sword. Mu Qiuhuang opened his mouth and praised: "The predecessors are really heavenly!" ”

Ou Yezi smiled slightly and said, "Sword is like a close friend, let's give it a name!" ”

Mu Qiuhuang nodded, turned around, and handed the sword to Ji Ruoxue, just looking at her thin body, she couldn't help but be a little worried that the sword was so heavy, would she be able to dance or not?

Seeing this, Ji Ruoxue looked at him with a smile, but did not take the sword, but raised the sword in her hand and gestured at Mu Qiuhuang, and said: "My sword is originally from the Sword Casting House, and I still have the dagger that your master gave me at the beginning, what other weapon do I need?" Besides, haven't you always wanted to find a good sword? ”

Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be very grateful when he heard this, but he still shook his head and said, "This sword is too precious, so you should keep it!" ”

Ji Ruoxue shook her head and scolded: "It's really stupid, I'm a girl, how can I move?" This sword was originally forged for you by my predecessors, and besides, won't I still have your protection in the future? ”

Mu Qiuhuang heard this, and also understood Ji Ruoxue's intentions, so he no longer shirked.

"Hurry up and give it a name!" Ji Ruoxue urged.

"Hmm." After thinking for a while, Mu Qiuhuang said: "This sword was born from snow, and it has the characteristics of ice and snow, and more importantly, this sword was given to me by Xue'er...... Why don't you call it "First Snow"? ”
