Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

"Do you want our swords to help? What are you kidding, what if this 'stone box' is not opened, and our blades are all damaged? Fang Shuran disagreed with the blacksmith's idea

"Shaoxia, it's not that we deliberately block it, but if we do this, we don't know if we will succeed." Mo Qifeng said.

Indeed, if it fails, all four blades will be destroyed. But if we don't, we'll never get close to the real answer, and we need a chance. An answer is needed that convinces us all.

"Blacksmith, is this really the only way to go?" I asked.

"Shaoxia, this 'stone box' is not made of ordinary stones, and if you want to break this 'stone box', you can only break it with the same strong 'dark iron'. But ......" the blacksmith paused.

"But?" I asked.

"However, Mo Qifeng is right, no one has ever done this, so no one has succeeded, the result is difficult to predict, if the 'stone box' is stronger than the four heirloom blades of Qinqi calligraphy and painting, then their weapons may really be destroyed, and the dark iron used in these heirloom blades is a rare material in the world, so there is no way to repair it." The blacksmith spoke very clearly.

"There's no way to fix it? That is, we can only succeed? I asked.

"Yes, I'm afraid that's the only way." The blacksmith said helplessly.

"Shaoxia, it's too risky to do this, we don't need to do it at all." Fang Shuran insisted on opposing the blacksmith's method.

"Yes, Shaoxia, we can think of other ways, maybe we can come up with the best of both worlds." Mo Qifeng persuaded.

Maybe Mo Qifeng is right, we may be able to think of other ways, but tomorrow is the day of the attack, and we don't have much time to think. The blacksmith's approach is a bit risky, but that's all we can do now.

"Guys, I know what you're thinking, it's a bit risky, but we don't have time to hesitate, we have to succeed." I said firmly.

"But ......," Li Huayi hesitated, "Even if our blades are damaged, but the things in this 'stone box' are broken, then all the efforts of our generations over the years will be in vain." ”

I knew very well in my heart that if I really wanted to be wrong, then the efforts of the Sword Tilting Sect and the entire royal palace over the years would have been wasted, this was the persistence and persistence of several generations, I finally understood the worry in their eyes, and suddenly I felt that my responsibility was heavy, and every decision was so important.

"I know your worries, but trust me, I won't let your efforts go to waste, and I'll do my best to create a new world!!" I looked up at the sky.

"A new world?" Mo Qifeng asked.

"A world that is not just an infinite loop, everything is pre-programmed, what is said, what is done, again and again, endless. And so on, and you need to be free!! "I'm a little excited.

"What is freedom?" Su Qinyu asked.

"Freedom means that you don't have to cry, be sad, or be sad for the set plot, and you can choose your own life, even if it's just in this 'virtual world'." They were moved by my answer.

I remembered the beautiful song in my ears again:

"Thousands of years have passed, and I have never forgotten each other's vows..."

"The years have passed in a hurry, but you are still looking at me, and you have not forgotten our tomorrow..."

"When I remember, when you forget. The memory of this fate. ”

"I still remember our vows, memories that will never be forgotten."

………

"Thousands of years have passed, and I have never forgotten each other's vows..."

"The years have passed in a hurry, but you are still looking at me, and you have not forgotten our tomorrow..."

"When I remember, when you forget. The memory of this fate. ”

"I still remember our vows, memories that will never be forgotten."

………

Over and over again, it's like a guiding light. Light the way forward

"In the past, I made a vow to make my will, and today I swear by my will." I shouted.

"Young man......" Mo Qifeng said as he looked at me in shock.

"In the past, I made a vow to make my will, and today I swear by my will." I raised the 'Heavy Iron Sword' and shouted again.

"Shaoxia, ...... are you" Li Huayi looked at me, and there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"In the past, I made a vow to make my will, and today I swear by my will." Qinqi, calligraphy and painting raised their blades one after another and shouted.

"Although the mountain is dangerous, although the road is long, the oath of the year, do not forget, the time is not hindered, the years are long, and now I will set up a chapter!!"

"Although the mountain is dangerous, although the road is long, the oath of the year, do not forget, the time is not hindered, the years are long, and now I will set up a chapter!!"

Our vows resounded in the sky and turned between heaven and earth......

"Shaoxia, did you really decide that?" Mo Qifeng confirmed again.

"Of course!!" My answer is clear.

"Good!! Case!!! The four of us once made an oath that we would help the young man no matter what, but because the 'stone box' is really too important to us, that's why we ...... But the four of us will never forget the oath we made. Mo Qifeng looked around, confirmed the thoughts of the other people with his eyes, and said, "Since Shaoxia has made up his mind, we should do our best." ”

I placed the 'stone box' on the ground and took a few steps back. Signal that Mo Qifeng can start.

Mo Qifeng, Fang Shuran, Li Huayi and Su Qinyu stood in the four directions of the 'stone box', southeast, northwest, and raised their blades at the same time.

Success or failure is up here!

"Let's get started!!" As soon as I gave the order, the four of them struck the 'stone box' with their blades at the same time, and only heard a loud noise.

I looked in the direction of the 'stone box' again, and I smiled with success, and the 'stone box' was completely shattered. The ground was littered with broken stones.

"We succeeded!!" I shouted with joy.

But no one but me smiled, and I suddenly realized that there was one more important thing that had not been confirmed, and that if my guess was wrong, we would have lost the most important thing.

I hurriedly walked into the shattered 'stone box', and I searched for it with my hands. The faces of the four of them were heavy. It's like waiting for the score of the college entrance examination, and the tension is indescribable. Everyone is waiting for the final answer. I stared at the shattered 'stone box', all the keys in front of me. I searched for the only answer.
