Chapter 3
Shikoku has always been eyeing the secret of the direct transmission of the sword forging method.
Establish a sound learning mechanism for supervision, and students from the four countries compete fairly.
Heaven and Earth, standing in the middle of all the disciples of the Earth Gate, wearing a red gold belt, was the object of observation by all the new students present.
Heaven and Earth have a slender body, handsome bones, and clean white skin and fresh straight hair that is very different from the people around him. Straight hair that hangs like black satin is very rare in the Western Regions. Although he is in the land of sword-casting, he exudes an innate elegance in his fierceness, which makes people who see him for the first time naturally have a good impression.
Heaven and earth are looking at the test takers on the field with serious eyes. The tall and swarthy third disciple Tianhuo and the thin and melancholy fourth disciple Tianfeng were on the sidelines to audit the various countries and offer gifts.
Not far away, Mo Tong, dressed in a gold silk inlaid dansand stone costume, was walking towards them. Mo Tong, who has a noble temperament, wears an opal feather hat and a rare cut jade pendant on his ears, attracting everyone's attention everywhere he passes.
When the second disciple Tianshui saw her arrival, he immediately picked up the scroll and walked over, reporting to her that there were more than three hundred candidates from all over the world.
Mo Tong and Tianshui walked to the stone steps, and the landless, heavenly fire, and heavenly wind all stopped their affairs and asked their master Mo Tong for peace. Heaven and earth said that according to the test of the door rules, it is estimated that less than 20 new students will be recruited this year. Tianhuo reported to his wife that this year's tribute was twice as much as last year's. Immediately after that, Tianfeng stepped forward with the tribute gold scroll in his hand and said softly:
"Master, in Khotan, offer a thousand taels of platinum; Wusun provided 1,500 taels of silver; Shule provided a thousand taels of gold, and the Zhao generals presented ten catties of heavenly iron to the master to cast a sword. β
Hearing this, Mo Tongchao smiled at Zhao Zhen, who was sitting under the shade silk umbrella, and Zhao Zhen also smiled back.
Mo Tong: "Heaven and Earthβ"
Heaven and earth quickly approached Mo Tong's side, and Mo Tong lowered his voice: "This year, we will accept a few more disciples of Shule Country." β
Tiandi frowned slightly, but couldn't help but reply: "Yes, Master!" β
Mo Tong: "What about your master?" β
Heaven and Earth: "Shizun has been forging the Sword Tower. The tower door was closed, and we didn't dare to disturb it! β
Mo Tong looked up at the towering sword-forging tower above the stone steps, and then turned to scan the crowd of people from all over the world in the square. A large group of birds swept over the sky, and the background color of the bustling crowd was the dawn yellow of the desert outside the city.
The distant mountains are hidden in the gray-purple haze, like an indelible silhouette overlooking the vast yellow sand. There is a row of women's footprints printed on the yellow sand, and in the desert, a mysterious woman in a masked purple robe crossed the sea of death and is walking towards Loulan Sword City step by step.
On the other side, the Boundless Celestial Star casually climbed the high iron fence to find an excellent overlooking point. He took a quiet bird's-eye view of his entourage, a faint smile curled into the corners of his thin lips.
As noon approached, the umbrellas were stretched high, and the three test takers finally presented three unformed iron bars.
Heaven and earth glanced at it, shook their heads helplessly, and everyone sighed for a while, and the three test takers retreated, and there was a commotion from the entrance of the square.
Heaven and earth motioned for Tianhuo to go and check, but after a while, the noise became louder, and the crowd of onlookers blocked the entrance to the square.
Mo Tong and Heaven and Earth looked at each other, and they both felt unusual.
Tianhuo and the masked girl in purple were arguing, and a thin translator was sandwiched between them, embarrassed.
Girl in Purple: "Why not, which door rule says I can't take the test?" β
Tianhuo: "Are you still reasonable?" I've never heard a woman forge a sword! If you are told to go, you will go! β
The girl in purple: "It took me two years to arrive in Sword City, and if you don't let me take the exam, I won't leave!" β
Tianhuo: "No matter how many years you go, if I say no, I can't do it!" β
Girl in Purple: "Why? Are you a Master? β
Skyfire: "I...... Hey, you're here to make trouble! If you don't leave, don't blame me for being unkind! β
The girl in purple: "King Kong Sword Alliance, it turned out to be a ...... who fought swords with his mouth"
"Let her in!"
Not far away, Mo Tong laughed, "I want to see what she relies on to fight swords." β
Tianhuo turned his head and saw Mo Tong and Heaven and Earth walking towards this side. Everyone automatically gave way to a way, and Tianhuo immediately agreed.
Heaven and earth looked at the girl coldly, and saw that her purple clothes had long been stained with loess, and a pair of smoky white and light purple eyes were revealed under the snow veil wrapped around her head, and she also looked at heaven and earth fixedly.
The crowd was heathing all around, waiting to see a good show.
In the recruitment booth in the center of the square, the woman in purple is ready. When the four generals heard about it, they all looked at it playfully. Can a woman fight a sword? The crowd burst into laughter.
Ignoring everyone's ridicule, the girl in purple calmly picked out a piece of fine iron ore from the ore pile, and took the mutton fat barrel from the quenching area by herself.
"Is there sheep urine?" The girl in purple asked aloud.
The crowd erupted in even more wild laughter. The onlookers of the four countries showed their absurdity on their faces. However, heaven and earth raised their hands and signaled the crowd to be quiet.
Heaven and Earth: "Go and get it!" β
A man took the order and hurried away.
The girl in purple and the sharp eyes of heaven and earth met in an instant, and both sides were suddenly startled by the stubbornness in each other's eyes!
An old cloth bag was opened, and inside were several pieces of metal and plant rhizomes from exotic countries.
The girl took off her cloak and tied it around her waist, and while picking up her tools and stirring the half-liquid pig iron in the furnace, she added iron ore, metal fragments, and several plant rhizomes to the furnace, like an experienced alchemist.
Tianhuo joked: "Heh, our room is lacking a Peugeot cook!" β
Under the cloudless blue sky, the sky and the earth squinted their narrow eyes, paying attention to the movements of Tianwei, and Tianshui on the side asked: "Have you ever seen such a fried steel before?" β
Heaven and earth pondered to themselves, shaking their heads and saying nothing.
After half an hour, the heat of the fire began to make the girl sweat profusely. But she did not get tired, and continued to pick up the iron bar and swing the hammer to forge it. The metallic sound of forging rang from the plaza to the Sword Tower. This smart and precise voice made the master who was meditating in the tower open his eyes without a sigh of emptiness.
