23: Ou Yezi
A huge mobilization ceremony officially kicked off.
Zhijiang, who could see it clearly below, almost cried with joy, and hugged forward to express his gratitude to Chen Longshi. "Thank you...... Thank you, thank you, Mr. for these ...... for my town Wangcheng" This gesture that she couldn't even say clearly almost made Chen Longshi suspect that she wanted to make a promise.
Fortunately, he is still a little witty, and boys must learn to protect themselves when they go out. With a serious expression, he said: "Her Royal Highness the princess should not think that the tomb of King Chu can be bulldozed so easily." β
Zhijiang was a little emotional and had not yet spoken. On the side, the father and the courtier were puzzled: "Sir, what do you mean by this?" Now that morale is available, and the reliance of the undead monsters is gone, we don't have to shrink back on the defensive? β
Chen Longshi continued: "That's true, but I hope you can understand one thingβthat is, the tomb of King Chu should have also known that a large number of his subordinates have not been resurrected.
They will not sit still, whether it is the four generals of the tomb of the king of Chu, or the eight princesses under the throne, they are not idle characters. Although they rarely come out, it doesn't mean that they can't get out of the tomb of King Chu.
If it weren't for my arrival, maybe Zhenwangcheng would still be able to maintain the status quo and start a tug-of-war with the tomb of King Chu, and it would have survived for a few years. But what I did upset the balance, and the next thing that greeted us would be a big war.
This will be a decisive battle through and through, and the two sides will definitely make a conclusion in the short term, and there will be no more luck to be left to chance. β
Hearing this, Zhi Jiang also put away her childish attitude, like Joan of Arc holding high the banner of resistance, "Sir, there is no need to say more, instead of being a shrunken turtle and waiting for the day when the sword and axe will be added to the body and die in obscurity, I choose to take up arms and fight bravely for a brighter and better future for future generations." I believe that the people of Zhenwang City can also make the right choice. β
"That's good. Now we must hurry up all actions, and we must really expand the opportunity for victory before the other side reacts. β
Zhijiang expressed trust: "How can we expand our chances of victory? β
Chen Longshi smiled mysteriously, and was about to say something, when suddenly his face was cold.
He looked up in amazement, only to find that the sun had disappeared at some point, and a thick dark cloud had obscured the sky.
The crystal clear snowflakes fell on his face and immediately melted into ice water, which was cold and cold like a scoop of cold water poured on his heart. Everyone sensed that something was wrong, nervous and uneasy.
In just a few moments, the snowflakes became bigger and bigger, and the goose-feathered snow covered the roofs, the earth, and the city walls.
Everywhere you look, you're covered in silver.
Chen Longshi said solemnly: "It seems that we don't have much time. β
β¦β¦
After a short time, a group of elite warriors rushed out of the city gate in winter and rushed straight to the thickest place in the dark clouds on the horizon.
Along the way, Chen Longshi continued to identify the direction, and before he knew it, this group of elite soldiers had gone astray. Zhi Jiang asked suspiciously, "Sir, this is not the direction leading to the tomb of King Chu?" β
Chen Longshi didn't answer and asked, "What's over there?" β
"It's just some weird stone forests and long-abandoned mines."
"Looks right, get ready to fight." As soon as they arrived at their destination, everyone was surrounded by a group of undead monsters. Fight together and slash the undead monster under your horse. Continuing to go deeper into the stone forest, and soon found the mine, Chen Longshi showed a happy expression on his face, "I finally found a place that matches the memory of my previous life." β
"Light the torch."
After the torch was lit, Chen Longshi bore the brunt of the attack and did not hesitate to get in, and there were occasional pauses between the crutches, but he never hesitated, and he seemed to be extremely familiar with this place.
Although Zhi Jiang and the others were very puzzled, seeing that he was extremely focused on finding the way, it was inconvenient to interrupt at this time. After a long time, she also discovered that Chen Longshi's method of recognizing the way was a sword pattern. Every time there is a fork in the road, there are several vague or clear sword patterns engraved at the fork in the road.
At the beginning, Chen Longshi would carefully identify it, and the further he went, the faster he walked, and he didn't know how far he walked, and the mine in front of him suddenly opened up, and an empty huge karst cave appeared in front of him.
At the entrance to the cave, a collapsed sword monument stands at the entrance of the cave.
There is a sentence written on the sword tablet in ancient language, "the first sword mountain in the world" five seal characters into the stone three inches, but it is written on the stone with a sword.
Even after the erosion of the years, there is still an indescribable sharp breath coming out of the stone. When Chen Longshi saw that word, he felt a peerless swordsman's frenzied momentum rushing towards him, as powerful as a mountain and as powerful as a river and sea.
is a "No. 1 Sword Mountain in the World", and the lord of this inscription seems to be an arrogant and unruly peerless swordsman.
"The first sword mountain in the world?"
Ou Lian looked at the sword stele in surprise, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, "How can this be the number one sword mountain in the world?" β
"What's the problem?" Chen Longshi asked.
Ou Lian's expression was solemn, and he said: "The sword forged by my ancestor Ou Yezi is the most famous Zhanlu sword, which is called 'the first sword in the world'. Back then, Yue Wang Yunchang (the father of Gou Jian) ordered the ancestors to cast swords. The ancestors searched all over the famous mountains and rivers to find a suitable place to cast swords. When he saw that Zhanlu Mountain was quiet and lush, charcoal was easy to obtain, mineral deposits were abundant, and the mountain springs were clear, suitable for quenching swords, so he settled here to cast swords.
After three years of hard work, the sword of Zhanlu was finally cast.
At that time, the five famous swords in the world were: Zhan Lu, Juque, Shengxie, Yu Gu, and Chunjun, and the first was Zhan Lu. It is rumored that this sword can make hair and blades disappear, and the iron is like clay, and it is unparalleled in the world. Later generations of poets inscribed a poem: 'Ten years of clouds lying under Zhanlu. There are double dragons in the bucket, where in the world to ask Ouyeel? Ouye has been gone for a few years, and the sword of Zhan Lu is also long. β
Therefore, Zhanlu Mountain is known as 'the first sword mountain in the world', how can it be here? β
Chen Longshi said: "Maybe it's just a stone tablet that has been moved, let's go and see it first." β
When the torches illuminated the entire cave, everyone was shocked.
This huge space, you can't see the end at a glance, could it be that the group of absenteeism has hollowed out the entire mountain back then?
The more he explored, the more familiar Ou Lian found that the surrounding buildings became more and more familiar, "This is a remnant sword furnace, as well as sword casting stones and sword mold stone troughs. This...... Someone used to forge a sword here?! β
Not only these buildings, but also a large number of damaged sword tablets stand in the depths of the cave, each of which is carved with deep sword inscriptions, either vague or clear. Zhi Jiang recognized it with interest, and read aloud: "The fine iron of the five peaks, the Jinhua of the Liuhe, the stone of Wushan, the copper of the accounting, and the ...... are tempered thousands of times."
Ou Lian saw these stone carvings, and his performance was even more unbearable, "What about the back, why is it gone." β
"Ou Lian, calm down?" Zhijiang persuaded.
"How calm am I, our Ou family has made a living by forging swords for generations. There may be information about the casting of the Excalibur left by the ancestors, but it has been cut off. Wouldn't I be able to forge a divine sword in my life and completely sweep away the tomb of King Chu? β
"Don't worry, there are many sword tablets with words on them, let's look for them carefully."
Sure enough, there are inscriptions on the large and small sword tablets, "When this sword was made, the mountain of red pansy broke out of the tin; The brook of Ruoya dries up and comes out copper; The rain division sweeps and sprinkles, and the thunder strikes; Jiaolong holds the furnace, and the emperor of heaven fills the charcoal ......"
The words were halfway engraved and then disappeared, and the entire sword tablet was swept away by a sharp weapon, and the remaining half was missing. But the literal meaning is still dumbfounded. "The rain master sweeps and sprinkles, and the thunder strikes; Jiaolong holds the furnace, and the Emperor of Heaven pretends to be charcoal, "What kind of courage is this, the emperor of the world can't reach his status achievement."
"There's still ...... here The way to forge a sword lies in the spirit of people and the spirit of heaven and earth. Therefore the one who forges the sword is precious to the boy and the girl. Ou Lian's eyes were red, and he tasted this sentence repeatedly like crazy, and said: "This is really the ancestor's way of forging swords, and it is the way of forging swords of my Ou family."
I remember when I was a child, when my father was still there, I still lived this sentence, and when I grew up, I couldn't deeply understand the meaning of many things. Come to think of it, this simple sentence is an indispensable and important part of the sword forging process. β
Zhi Jiang picked up a collapsed sword tablet and read: "There is another one here, Ou Lian, you can take a look." β
Ou Lian hurriedly ran over, "...... The physical strength is not good, and it cannot be made into a sword; If the will is not strong, it cannot become a sword. And the tyrant is not benevolent, let alone a sword. The king is not benevolent, and the war does not stop. Sharp weapons go into battle, killing people is not counted. For every sword cast, there is an evil. One day, the evil will be full of evil, and he will die under the sword. β
"Hiss~"
Everyone fell silent, as if returning to the original era of strife when swords were admired. In that era of warring states, swordsmiths enjoyed a high reputation, but they also had to serve the king.
How harmful is a tyrant? Maybe it's because it's been a long time. But how harmful a tyrant who has mastered the divine sword is, the tomb of the king of Chu is proof!
"Look, there's a sword mountain here."
In the depths of the collapse of the sword furnace, a mountain of rusty swords suddenly struck, and on top of it were all upside-down swords. I don't know who touched what, and those originally harmless sword tablets began to tremble, and more and more stones fell to the ground.
"Sonorous ~"
The sound of swords resounded throughout the cave.
"Finally appeared, ready to fight." Chen Longshi was probably the only person in the field who remained calm, and he took the lead in breaking a sword tablet with a shock from the spear.
"What are you doing?" Ou Lian shouted anxiously.
"Be carefulβ" Before the words fell, Zhijiang shouted eagerly behind him. Ou Lian's soul was not guarded, and before he had time to dodge, a huge bronze sword suddenly poked out from behind him, and the sword qi swept and slashed his left arm.
Sword puppets awoke from the stone monument and surrounded everyone in the cave with huge sword weapons. Many soldiers raised their weapons to meet the enemy, but the sword puppet was made of gold and stone, which was very hard. His own weapon was slashed at the puppet, sparks splashed everywhere, and the puppet didn't have anything to do, but his own shocked hands were numb.
For a time, it was restrained everywhere, and the encirclement shrank again and again.
At the critical moment, it was Chen Longshi who stood up. He dismantled the spear and rushed into the puppet with the strange sword weapon on the top half of the spear. The sword is like a dragon, and the nine sword swordsmanship is unleashed one by one. The sword blade never collides with the puppet, and the landing point is at the puppet joint, plus the sword edge is unstoppable, and for a time it is like chopping tofu.
The fighting wisdom of everyone is not low, and Zhijiang was the first to find the clue and reminded everyone: "Pay attention to break up the joints of the puppet." β
Chen Longshi made a move "Sword Flash, Close to the End of the World", and the sword momentum instantly crossed a distance of three zhang square, and several sword puppets collapsed to the ground, all of which were settled. When fighting these sword puppets, it is wisest to use a sword weapon.
Although they are puppets, the swordsmanship they can perform is different, and they are full of atmosphere, which is quite like everyone. It's just that he is limited by the puppet body and can't progress his strengths.
After Chen Longshi discovered this, he was no longer in a hurry to dismantle the puppet, and began to repeatedly perform the [Nine Extremes Sword Technique] and the sword puppet to see the move. After a period of time, I found that the proficiency of star skills increased faster and faster.
Originally, he had only comprehended the 82% level of the bronze-level star skill [Nine Extremes Sword Technique], but at this moment, his comprehension was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The swordsmanship is becoming more and more concise, but it is becoming more and more powerful.
Unconsciously, Chen Longshi was immersed in the wonderful feeling of this rapid improvement of swordsmanship, and the more fierce the battle became.
"Sonorous ~", the last sword puppet fell to the ground, and it had already been killed.
Looking at the panel, the comprehension level of the [Nine Extremes Sword Technique] has reached 99%, and he is only one step away from being able to truly master this star technique.
