Chapter 111: Nine Songs Return to the Dragon Cave
The Chongxiao Spirit Crane flew with three people, and it still didn't show any difficulty. Flap your wings, gallop and fly to Green Willow Town.
Along the way, Ou Yeyang was anxious, and asked Qin Chuan countless times how long it would take to reach his destination. After he had asked forty or fifty times, the shadow of Greenwillow finally appeared under the clouds.
Qin Chuan ordered Chong Xiaohe to descend outside the village, and then helped Ou Yeyang into the village with Su Qianxue, and went straight to Qiu Chengfeng's house.
Just like last time, before he walked to the Qiu family's blacksmith shop, the sound of clanging knocking had already reached his ears.
Ou Yeyang felt it as soon as he heard it, and this beating sound contained a familiar rhythm that he had missed for more than ten years!
His body trembled, and he quickened his pace and walked in the direction from which the voice came.
From a distance, Qin Chuan saw Qiu Chengfeng with a beard on his face. It was still the same as the last time I saw him, around the broken anvil cloth, with his head down, and he was concentrating on beating the iron embryo in his hand.
When Ou Yeyang saw this scene, the trembling of his body became even worse, and a pair of yellow and dry eyes instantly became damp and blurry.
He walked to the front of the blacksmith shop step by step, stared at Qiu Chengfeng, the tears in his eyes finally rolled out, and called in a trembling voice: "Feng'er!" ”
With a "ding" sound, Qiu Chengfeng's hammer, which was originally wielding steadily, suddenly smashed on the edge of the anvil because of this call, and then flew out of the blacksmith shop, sinking deep into the dirt.
Then, Qiu Chengfeng's sturdy body also began to tremble violently. He didn't have the courage to look up, and after taking a few heavy breaths, he turned abruptly and was about to run into the blacksmith's shop.
"Wind!" Ou Yeyang used all his strength to roar, "Master is running out, can you bear to let Master not be able to see you before he dies?" ”
Qiu Chengfeng's body stagnated and stopped trying to escape. His fists were clenched, his teeth rattled, but he still didn't have the courage to turn his head.
"Feng'er, Feng'er, Master's ...... in the past sixteen years" Ou Yeyang has been thinking about it for sixteen years, and finally saw his beloved apprentice, firstly, he was in a mood, and secondly, he was already injured, and before he finished speaking, his throat suddenly became sweet, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
When Qiu Chengfeng heard the strangeness, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, and hurriedly turned around and rushed to Ou Yeyang's side. Seeing that the master, who was outstanding at the beginning, was now so old and thin that he couldn't believe his eyes, he fell to his knees at the feet of the master, and said bitterly: "Master, master! How did you end up like this?! ”
Ou Yeyang pulled Qiu Chengfeng up, hugged him tightly into his arms, and said: "After you left, the master became worried and became ill, and later he was seriously injured by the angry master of Xuantie, and his cultivation declined, and he became what he is now. But Master didn't have any hatred in his heart. The sky opened his eyes and let the master see you before he died, and the master was completely satisfied, satisfied......"
"Master, they are all unfilial, incompetent and reckless, refining two pieces of Zhiyang Xuaniron, and harming you!"
Ou Yeyang smiled and said, "Silly boy, as an elder, it is appropriate to take responsibility for the mistakes of younger generations. Master had no complaints. The only hope is that you will never leave Master again......"
"Not anymore! The apprentice will never leave again! I will stay by Master's side for the rest of my life! ”
"Good! Good! Ou Yeyang was very relieved and touched Qiu Chengfeng's face lovingly. Although Qiu Chengfeng is a strong man in his forties, in his eyes, he is still the cute little apprentice at the beginning.
After that, Ou Yeyang turned his head again, looked at Qin Chuan, and said to Qiu Chengfeng: "This Qin master is the great benefactor of our master and apprentice!" If he asks for anything from you, you must do it, remember? ”
"Don't worry, Master, the apprentice must remember!"
Ou Yeyang nodded slowly, and suddenly his body went weak and fell backwards. Qiu Chengfeng was shocked, and hurriedly took the master into his arms, and found that the master was already pale and angry.
"Feng'er, I can see you before I die, and the master is blind when he dies. You must remember not to be sad, forget the past, and pass on Master's refining method well......"
"Master, the apprentice is not worthy, the apprentice is not worthy!"
Ou Yeyang seemed to want to say something more, but unfortunately he had run out of oil, his neck was crooked, and he died in Qiu Chengfeng's arms.
"Master! Master! Master! Qiu Chengfeng roared repeatedly, leaned on the master, and cried.
Qin Chuan and Su Qianxue couldn't bear to look at it anymore at this time, so they quietly walked away, letting Qiu Chengfeng cry and vent the pain in their hearts.
Walking aside with Su Qianxue, Qin Chuan adjusted his emotions and began to think about business again.
I don't know why, from the first time he saw the words "Zhiyang Xuantie", he felt a sense of familiarity.
Although I don't know what the Zhiyang Xuantie is, judging from the name and the events caused by it, it should be a treasure for refining.
But after thinking about it again and again, I am very sure that no one has ever mentioned this kind of thing to myself, and there seems to be no relevant record in the "Zhongzhou Chronicles".
"Light snow, have you ever heard of such a thing as the Zhiyang Xuantie?" Qin Chuan asked Su Qianxue beside him.
Su Qianxue shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it. ”
"I hadn't heard of it before, but why did I always feel familiar with it?" As Qin Chuan spoke, he frowned and thought - where did he come into contact with this word?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
That's right! It's a detailed map of the Nine Songs Back to the Dragon Cave!
On the detailed map of Jiuqu Huilong Cave, many locations where treasures are hidden are marked. I should have seen the name of "Zhiyang Xuantie" on it!
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan's spirit was greatly invigorated, and he hurriedly took out the detailed map of the Nine Songs Huilong Cave from the ring for verification.
Sure enough, after a while, among the small characters marked on the detailed drawing, the words "Zhiyang Xuantie" were found.
Unexpectedly, things went around and around, and it was actually related to this strange map!
At this time, Qiu Chengfeng's howling and crying had already alarmed the surrounding villagers, as well as Qiu Dazhui and his two elder brothers.
Qin Chuan hurriedly put away the detailed map of Jiuqu Huilongdong, stepped forward to explain the situation to Qiu Dazhu, and then worked together to persuade Qiu Chengfeng to return home.
Qiu Chengfeng carried Ou Yeyang's body into a hut, and sat in it for a day and a night. Qin Chuan asked Su Qianxue to return to the sect on his own, while he stayed at Qiu Chengfeng's house and waited silently.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Qiu Chengfeng walked out of the hut with red and swollen eyes. When he saw Qin Chuan, he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Master Qin, thank you!" Qiu was trapped in his heart before, and he never dared to go back to face his master. If you hadn't brought Master here this time, I'm afraid Qiu wouldn't have been able to see him until he was dying! ”
Qiu Chengfeng's parents died when he was a child, and it was Ou Yeyang who raised him single-handedly. In his heart, Ou Yeyang is both a teacher and a father, and his feelings are so deep that he can't say anything. But it was precisely because of this that he could not bear the blow of defeat in front of his master. He felt that he was really not a weapon, and he had no shame to face it because he had failed to live up to his master's years of upbringing.
Later, although he was far away, he felt guilty and missed his master, and he did not have a moment of peace. Yesterday, he said that the small house where he carried Master's body into the house was the place where he set up Master's immortal tablet, said to worship and send his thoughts.
Although the master is dead now, he has already met before he died. No matter what, Qiu Chengfeng was full of gratitude to Qin Chuan.
Seeing Qiu Chengfeng kneeling down towards him, Qin Chuan hurriedly helped him up and said, "Mr. Qiu, don't do this big gift." There is a sledgehammer relationship, and I should do something for you. ”
Although Qin Chuan tried his best to support him, Qiu Chengfeng insisted on kneeling on the ground: "Master said before his death that Master Qin is the great benefactor of our master and apprentice. If the head of Qin has any instructions, Qiu will definitely do it for you! ”
This sentence is too important for Qin Chuan. When it comes to the development of the sect, he is no longer polite, and said frankly: "Mr. Qiu, frankly speaking, you are very important to our Yuhua Sect!" I hope you'll join and be a part of it! ”
Qiu Chengfeng's expression changed several times, and finally said: "Master's last order, if Master Qin has orders, he must do it for you." Therefore, if the head of Qin really looks down on Qiu, Qiu will join Yuhuamen! ”
When Qin Chuan heard this, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he was very happy. Who knew that before he could really be happy, Qiu Chengfeng continued: "However, after entering the Yuhua Gate, Qiu was only an ordinary disciple and would not do anything related to refining weapons for the rest of his life!" ”
"This ...... Why? This sentence made Qin Chuan completely depressed. If Qiu Chengfeng showed his attitude and would not refine a weapon for the rest of his life, then I am afraid that the head system would not regard him as a refiner with an intermediate refining level. When the time comes, even if he joins, the task will still not be completed.
Qiu Chengfeng bit his lip and said with a sad face: "Because Qiu feels that he is really not a talent for refining. The will is not strong, the skills are not refined, refining and destroying two pieces of Zhiyang Xuaniron, harming the master, is not worthy of refining again! ”
"Mr. Qiu, people are not sages, and mistakes are inevitable. Your master also said before he died, let you forget the past and pass on his refining methods, why do you have to linger? ”
"Master's refining method, it's not my turn to pass it on. Qiu is not worthy, really unworthy! Although Ou Yeyang passed away with a smile, the knot in Qiu Chengfeng's heart was not untied.
Qin Chuan didn't expect things to develop into such a result, and tried to persuade a few more words, but Qiu Chengfeng insisted on not listening. It's just insisting, if he is asked to join the Feather Sect, it's okay, but he won't practice a weapon for the rest of his life.
It would be a pity if such a refining master was really trapped in his heart and didn't refine again. Qin Chuan couldn't sit back and watch such a talent go to waste, his eyes rolled, and he said: "Mr. Qiu, you are a genius in refining, and your master firmly believes in this, and I firmly believe in it." I believe in your own heart, and you must know it. Is it so hard that you really have to be defeated twice and break your life? Cheer up, refine the Zhiyang Xuantie again, prove yourself, and prove it to your master! I believe that the success of the Zhiyang Flying Sword will be gratified if your master knows it! ”
"Do it again?" After hearing this, Qiu Chengfeng's original expression, which was like ice, couldn't help but melt a little. But soon he smiled bitterly again: "Zhiyang Xuantie is a rare treasure iron, my master has been refining weapons all his life, and he has only heard of the whereabouts of two pieces. Now that these two pieces of treasure iron are in my hands, there is no place to find a third piece to refine! ”
In fact, over the years, Qiu Chengfeng has not only felt guilty about his master, but also had the idea of finding another piece of Zhiyang Xuantie and refining it into a flying sword to go back to see his master. It's a pity that the Zhiyang Xuantie is an extremely rare thing, and he searched hard, but he didn't get the slightest clue, so he had to break this idea.
However, Qiu Chengfeng couldn't find a clue, but Qin Chuan had a clue in his hand. As soon as he saw Qiu Chengfeng's tone loosen, he immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "Mr. Qiu, you don't have to worry about finding the Zhiyang Xuantie, just leave it to me." You only need to promise, after finding the Zhiyang Xuaniron, you will definitely start refining it, and guarantee that it will be refined! What do you think? ”
"You...... Do you really have a way to find the Extreme Yang Darkiron? Qiu Chengfeng was a little incredulous.
"I have!" Qin Chuan said it categorically.
Qiu Chengfeng's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly. He looked at his hands, then turned his head to look at the hut where the master's body was parked, and suddenly a resolute look appeared on his face, and he clenched his fists and said, "Okay! Then I will promise Master Qin that if I find Xuantie, I will definitely refine it! If it doesn't succeed this time, Qiu will thank himself! ”
Finally succeeded in arousing Qiu Chengfeng's fighting spirit, and no longer insisted that he would not refine the weapon for the rest of his life, Qin Chuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, a new question was placed in front of him - how to get the Zhiyang Xuantie?
Yes, on the detailed map of the Jiuqu Huilong Cave in his hand, it is indeed clearly marked the location of the Zhiyang Xuantie stored in the cave.
But the most important thing is, where is the Jiuqu Huilong Cave?
I don't know.
No clues.
In the Zitong Pavilion before, in addition to the news of the purchase of Qiu Chengfeng and Ou Yeyang, Qin Chuan also asked the ponytail girl by the way if there was any information about Jiuqu Huilongdong. The reply was - there was no information on this.
Although Qin Chuan was disappointed, it was also expected.
Since the Nine Curves Return Dragon Cave is related to the mission of the master system, it should be impossible to find out the information related to it so easily.
In this way, the problem is back on track. I don't know where the cave is, so even if I am familiar with the formation prohibition in the cave, and I know the location of the treasure inside, it is worth nothing.
Jiuqu Huilong Cave, Jiuqu Huilongdong, not only do you have so many coveted treasures inside, but now you have a relationship with a refining master who has cultivated above the Great Perfection during the Qi cultivation period, no matter what, this head must find your whereabouts!
