Located in the north of Xiaoyao Valley, the Sword Casting Villa is famous for casting weapons, and many of the divine soldiers in the martial arts are from the Sword Casting Villa. Because generations of owners have been committed to forging swords, they often can't take into account martial arts.

It is easy to forge a sword, but it is difficult to protect a sword, which is the current situation of Sword Casting Villa.

Ren Haoran is the current owner of Sword Casting Villa, and has been with the sword all his life, just by listening to the sound and watching the movie, you can know the advantages and disadvantages of the sword, like his ancestors, Ren Haoran's sword-casting skills have reached the peak, but the martial arts are not good.

When Chaoyang was born, Ren Haoran stepped out of the forging room of the sword, a slightly old face was full of sorrow, he cast a sword overnight, but the effect was not satisfactory, it could have been forged into a precious material that sharpened iron like a clay sword, because of his mistakes in several key steps and reduced to the top grade, which is normal for ordinary swordsmiths, but for Ren Haoran, who has been immersed in sword casting all his life, it really shouldn't be.

"This is the third sword of the month, and it seems that my heart is really messed up, and it is no longer suitable for forging swords in a short period of time."

With a long sigh, Ren Haoran remembered a scene two months ago, the two protectors of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the "Yaksha" Ji Wushuang and the "Mohu Luojia" Luo Snake Jun jointly visited, and after showing their unrivaled strength, they only made one request: When the Heavenly Dragon Sect invaded the Central Plains Martial Arts, the Sword Casting Villa must respond. Otherwise, the whole house will be slaughtered, and the chickens and dogs will not be left.

Ren Haoran didn't dare to agree, let alone refuse, he secretly made a decision, if the Tianlong Sect really made a move against the various factions in the Central Plains, he would not jump out and respond, he was not so stupid, but once the other party came to the door, he would choose to surrender without hesitation.

Even if his fellow martial artists scolded, he couldn't care so much, in his eyes, what kind of reputation and righteousness was not very important compared to the hundreds of lives in the village and the century-old foundation of the Ren family.

"Father, someone came to the door to ask for a sword, and they are waiting in the outer hall." As soon as he entered the inner hall, his only son Ren Jiannan greeted him.

Ren Haoran glanced at his son casually, and said lightly: "Look at how many silver taels he is willing to pay, give him a sword at the market price, if you want to forge a sword for your father, you can directly refuse." ”

There was some excitement in his tone, Ren Jiannan was his only son, and he originally identified him as the hope for the revival of Sword Forge Villa, but as he grew older, he felt more and more disappointed.

His son is not only ordinary in martial arts, but also does not like to cast swords, dignified men, but likes elegant things such as silk and bamboo ancient paintings, thinking that after a hundred years, the huge family business will fall into his hands, Ren Haoran can't help but sigh often.

Ren Jiannan hurriedly said: "Father, this person is not usual, he didn't come to ask us to help cast a sword, he came to get a sword." ”

"Take the sword?" Ren Haoran raised his eyebrows: "What sword to take?" ”

Ren Jiannan looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "He said that he wants to take the treasure of my Sword Casting Villa, the Nether Sword." ”

Ren Haoran sank his face and scolded: "Nonsense, the Netherworld Sword is the thing of the Sword Saint, since he has retired with the Sword Saint, how can he be in my Sword Casting Villa!" ”

"That's what the kid said." Ren Jiannan said with a bitter face: "But that person didn't believe it, and said that father, you only need to see him once, and everything will be clear." ”

Ren Haoran asked in a condensed voice, "What's his name?" Have you ever known it as a father? ”

"That person doesn't look much older than a child, my father shouldn't know it, by the way, he said his name is Chu Xiu, Chu of Jing Chu, and Xiu of rest." Ren Jiannan replied.

Chu Xiu!

Ren Haoran's face changed suddenly, could it be? …… Glaring at Ren Jiannan, he said, "You haven't heard of this person's name?" ”

Ren Jiannan shook his head blankly: "The child really hasn't heard of it, is this person very famous in the rivers and lakes?" ”

"You...... I'm angry with me, why don't you care about the current affairs of the rivers and lakes at all......" Ren Haoran sighed, didn't care about scolding him, and shook his hand and walked towards the outer hall.

In the outer hall, Gu Han was slowly sipping fragrant tea, and suddenly saw a tall middle-aged man walking out quickly, Ren Jiannan followed behind him with a blank face, slowly got up, smiled and arched his hand: "Dare to ask, but is it the owner of the village?" ”

Ren Haoran glanced at Gu Han carefully, the green shirt was sprinkled, his bearing was extraordinary, and his internal cultivation was not much worse than his own, looking at the rivers and lakes, except for Chu Xiu, the "Sword God in Tsing Yi" who appeared recently, there was no such brilliant junior, and hurriedly returned the salute: "The old man is Ren Haoran, I don't know where Chu Daxia is coming, and I hope that Daxia will not be blamed." ”

Chu Daxia! When Ren Jiannan heard these three words, he couldn't help but be stunned, at this person's age, he could be called a hero by his father, which shows that the status of the rivers and lakes is extraordinary, but Chu Xiu, why has he never heard of the name?

"It's easy to say...... it's easy to say"

Gu Han politely said two sentences, and went straight to the point: "Ren Zhuang Master, this is not for anything else, I want to use the 'Netherworld Sword' in Guizhuang." ”

He paused, and when he saw that Ren Haoran wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, he raised his hand to interrupt him, and continued with a smile: "Master Ren Zhuang doesn't need to be in a hurry to deny it, I can't hide it, I was still in the 'Sword Mansion' yesterday, I saw the 'Oath' in the hands of the Sword Saint's predecessors, and I also knew that the 'Nether Sword' was in Guizhuang." ”

"This ......" Ren Haoran was dumbfounded, more than 20 years ago, the sword saint came to the door to ask for a sword, coinciding with the siege of the three major forces of Baima Village, Saijiabao, and Providence City to besiege the Sword Casting Villa, the sword saint repelled the three major forces with a broken sword, saving the lives of the old and young in the village, Ren Haoran thanked the sword saint for his great kindness, and painstakingly recast the broken sword, named "Oath", which means that he swore to replace himself with this sword and follow his benefactor.

As for the Netherworld Sword, because he had killed too many people and had too much evil spirit, the Sword Saint had the intention to retire to the rivers and lakes, and he didn't want to use this sword anymore, so he left it in the Sword Casting Villa.

This matter, in addition to himself and the Sword Saint, only his son Ren Jiannan knows, but he only knows a rough idea, but this person can say it in such detail, don't think about it, it must be the Sword Saint who told him.

Now that the other party knows the roots, Ren Haoran no longer conceals it, and sighed lightly: "The Netherworld Sword is indeed on the old man's village, but this sword is too contaminated with the soul of the dead, and it contains a strong evil spirit...... What is the use of Chu Daxia with this sword? ”

Isn't it just more than seventy lives, and my Qingxiao Sword is far more than that...... Gu Han disagreed, and said with a faint smile: "Take advantage of the power of this sword to behead a person." ”

Ren Haoran asked, "Who?" ”

Gu Han said: "Heavenly Dragon Sect Master, Li Canglong." ”

Ren Haoran immediately froze, shook his head to confirm that he had heard correctly, this person was indeed talking about Li Canglong, the first dragon king of the grandmaster, Li Canglong, he puffed out his throat, and asked with difficulty: "Just rely on the strength of the hero alone?" ”

Gu Han nodded, and said as a matter of course: "To kill the strongest person in the world, you naturally have to use the sharpest sword in the world, so I came to Guizhuang to get the sword." ”

Hiss!

Ren Haoran's father and son gasped at the same time, the former thought that Gu Han was too conceited and didn't take the world's heroes in his eyes at all, and the latter was shocked and dazed, he still couldn't remember who this Chu Xiu was, but the other party was involved with martial arts masters such as Sword Saint and Dragon King, and his father also respected him a lot, and he could even say he was in awe, why is this? Could it be that I have lost some memory?

Shocked the two of them, Gu Han slowly added: "Guizhuang was threatened by the Heavenly Dragon Sect, and I also know a thing or two about it, and now tonight, Fork Ji Wushuang has abandoned the dark and followed the Ming. If the dragon king dies, Guizhuang can sit back and relax, why hesitate? ”

Ren Haoran pondered for a while and asked, "How sure is Chu Daxia?" ”

"If you get the Nether Sword, you should have seventy percent." Gu Han didn't say anything.

Seventy percent! Ren Haoran fell into a deep groan, judging from the rumors in the rivers and lakes, the other party was able to kill the mysterious city lord of Providence City and the overseer of Dongchang Xuan Ligong, indicating that the strength was at least not under the Dragon King, and if there was a Nether Sword to help, it should be a few points better.

And apart from the earth-shattering sword, no one in the rivers and lakes knows if he has other means of pressing the bottom of the box.

Thinking of this, Ren Haoran gritted his teeth and finally nodded: "Okay, Chu Daxia, please come with me." ”

Ren Haoran really couldn't find a reason to refuse, the Sword Saint would choose to inform the other party of this matter, naturally with the intention of letting the other party take the sword, and besides, there were only a few people in the world who knew that the Netherworld Sword was in the Sword Casting Villa, even if it was taken by this Chu Xiu, as long as he didn't reveal the matter, even if the trip failed, it might not involve the Sword Casting Villa afterwards.

Passing through the inner hall, the three of them came to a study, Ren Haoran touched the mechanism behind a vase, turned it slightly, a click sounded, and the bookshelf moved aside, revealing a dark grid from it.

There was a sword lying quietly in the dark compartment, this sword was four feet five inches long, the whole body was blue, and the sword body exuded a thick chill, perhaps because it was born again, it was illuminated by the sun, and immediately aroused a crisp sword sound.

React autonomously! This is a spirit-grade sword?

Gu Han was surprised and delighted, glanced at Ren Haoran, saw him nodding, and stretched out his right hand to signal him to take the sword. Nodding, he took two steps forward and picked up the Netherworld Sword, and suddenly felt his wrist sink, and the Dao chill jumped into his body along his arm, the sky and the earth were dim, the wind was howling in his ears, and the ghost was crying wolf.

"It's an evil soldier who can make the sword-wielder hallucinate." Gu Han turned his head and found that the Ren family's father and son looked as usual, obviously not affected by the Netherworld Sword, he sighed in disappointment in his heart, and secretly lucked the "Hidden Dragon Heart Sutra", the wailing suddenly disappeared, and the heaven and earth were clear again.

"No wonder Ren Haoran would say that this sword is extremely evil, I think it's because the spirit soldier has absorbed the resentment of the dead soul, well, when you go back to the main game world, you have to find a high monk to read the death spell or something, maybe you can dissipate the evil energy in it."

Making up his mind, Gu Han took out a mystical medium-grade long knife, the toughness was not below Qingxiao, he held the long knife in his left hand, injected mana into the Netherworld Sword in his right hand, and slashed down.

Poop!

The long knife snapped at the sound, and the tip of the knife fell to the ground,

"Broken with a sword...... This sharpness!? Gu Han was surprised, took a closer look at the broken edge of the long knife, and found that it was extremely smooth, a trace of cold air came out from above, he stretched out his finger and pointed it on it, and suddenly felt that the cold was bone-chilling, cold and abnormal, if he didn't inject mana to dispel the cold, he would almost stick his fingers to it.

"It even has a freezing effect......

Gu Han looked happy, and hugged his fists at Ren Haoran and said: "Thank you Ren Zhuang for the sword, without further ado, I will set off for the north here." ”

Ren Haoran was stunned and said, "Why is Chu Daxia so anxious? It's better to rest for a day in the village, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow. ”

He also wanted to see the true strength of this person, especially with the Nether Sword.

"No need, let the owner wait for my good news." After Gu Han finished speaking, the person had already jumped out of the study, and the Feiyan Gong unfolded, like a bird stepping into the wind.

"This kind of light skill is rare in the real world...... Ren Jiannan looked fascinated, and it wasn't until Gu Han's figure disappeared that he suddenly woke up and asked his father on the side to find out the origin of this person.

…………

At the same time, Gu Han, who was sitting on the iron-backed blue wolf, took out the information crystal disk and slowly swept it over the Nether Sword, he wanted to see the specific attributes of this sword.

Netherworld Sword: Cast by the polar 10,000-year-old cold crystal, it is extremely sharp and abnormal, because it contains 71 yin souls, so the evil spirit is extremely heavy, and ordinary warriors must be in a state of confusion and fall into madness. Hold the back body method plus 15, the inner element plus 20, and the centering minus 23. Sharpness: 275. Rating: Quasi-Spiritual Weapon (Defective).

"That's not right, the attributes are so exaggerated, why is it just a quasi-spiritual weapon, what does that spiritual weapon have to become? And what the hell is this centering minus 23 and mutilation? Could it be that this sword can still be improved? ”

Gu Han's eyes widened when he saw it, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly became strange.

"Could it be...... Is this a 'double-edged sword'? ”

He rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

The so-called double-edged sword is naturally not the original meaning.

There are some special types of spirit soldiers that can improve their quality by absorbing energy, among them, some are pure growth blades and do not do any harm, while some are "double-edged swords", the higher the quality, the greater the shortcomings, and the deeper the harm.

This Nether Sword is likely to be the latter, improving its quality by drawing on the power of the Shade, and the higher the quality increases, the more the centering attribute will drop.

This may be the reason why the sword's attributes are slightly exaggerated.

"If that's the case, isn't this sword a chicken rib? It's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless! ”

"71 Yin Souls minus 23 points of concentration, which means that killing three people will reduce a little concentration, so do I want to kill people in the future? What kind of evil soldier is this, it is clearly a sword of mercy. ”

Gu Han was a little speechless, centering is a very important innate attribute, the higher the centering, the shorter the time it takes to enter the state of concentration in battle, and the longer it lasts, and it can also improve the resistance to spiritual attacks, reduce the probability of going mad, etc. (practicing two or more different types of internal martial arts, there will be a probability of falling into the devil).

These effects are not mentioned on the official website, but summarized by the player little by little, so Gu Han attaches great importance to the attribute of centering, as one of the two innate attributes, centering cannot be improved through exercise, and only by achieving some specific achievements or a martial arts cultivation to the Great Perfection realm can it increase slightly.

This was also the reason why Gu Han did not rashly cultivate the "Seven Swords of Affection".

And now, just one weapon will make him lose 23 points of concentration, and in the future it will only be reduced even more, so how can he accept it.

"Let's use it first, and then find a way to solve it when we get back to the main game world, maybe...... The sword is not as bad as I thought it would be, and people have to be optimistic......"

Ah Q comforted himself, Gu Han found a scabbard in the package, put the Netherworld Sword into it, urged the reins, and headed all the way north.
