Chapter 11
Tonight's swordsmithing field was empty.
The broken sword was thrown under the tool rack.
Tianwei was practicing frying steel in the sword casting furnace alone, Tiandi passed by the door, stopped and glanced at her back, and left without stopping.
In the middle of the night, there were bursts of thunder in the sky, and heavy rain came in an instant. At that time, Tiandi was still reading at night in the study, he looked at the bean-like raindrops outside the window, and suddenly thought of Tianwei's stubborn back.
After a while, the cloaked heaven and earth came to the sword casting field to see the sky. He said to her, "It's time for you to rest." ”
The fire reflected Tian's slightly white skin red, but her eyes were still very desolate. She looked up slightly, and saw the remaining rain dripping down the cloak of heaven and earth to the ground, and his face turned a little pale from the chill of the wind and rain.
Tianwei: "Can you practice for a while?" ”
Tiandi frowned, pulled Tianwei closer to his side, and stiffly draped a beast skin cloak on her, and said in a tough and domineering tone: "I'll send you back to Liyuan." ”
Tianwei: "But-"
Before Tianwei finished speaking, Tiandi had already closed the door of the furnace with his backhand, and forcibly pulled her to walk outside.
It was so cold outside, Tianwei was very surprised, and the whole person hid in the cloak and shivered gently. Heaven and earth let go of their hands and strode in front of Tianwei. Tianwei followed him closely, the wind and rain were loud, and along the way, the two didn't say a word. The seriousness of heaven and earth made Tianwei think in his heart that if he could work harder, the previous earth gate would not be ridiculed by the fire gate.
On the other side, the lights in the master's room were still on.
Mo Tong said gently: "Are you too strict with her?" ”
Nothing is silent.
Mo Tong persuaded: "Playing such a sword soon after entering the school has surpassed the skill of other disciples for several years, why should you break her sword in public?" ”
Wu Yikong said calmly: "This child is a sword-forging wizard, but she is arrogant, and the arrogant will be defeated, so she has to reduce her sharpness." ”
The heavy rain of the night passed down.
Dawn has arrived, and the outside of the pear courtyard is sprinkled with white petals stained with yellow mud, and the shadows of the flowers on the trees are sparse.
The morning Tar frowned, and coldly squinted at the animal skin cloak set up at the door. This is the reward of heaven and earth in the hunting activities of last year's festival. Dur stretched out her thin fingers and swiped the skin with a hint of jealousy, and she seemed to feel the gentle care of heaven and earth in the night rain on the cloak.
She walked slowly to the window, through the white veil blown by the wind, looking at the white red skin and curvy body of Tianwei in her sleep, and then looking at her own increasingly thin appearance and often sick body, she suddenly felt that she would rather exchange her family wealth for a poor background, as long as she was healthy, she could withstand the wind and rain......
The stars and the moon are vague, the day is alternate, and the initial training of the new door is over.
According to their own characteristics, everyone is classified into the four gates of earth, water, fire, and wind. Tianwei also officially entered the earth gate for training in accordance with the designation of the master.
One day and a day, I saw that many disciples gathered near the square notice. She couldn't see the bamboo board carved from a distance, so she immediately asked the senior brother beside her: "Senior Brother Tianhua, what are everyone talking about?" ”
"The date of the sword trial has finally been announced! I heard that at the sword test meeting, the master will personally give the name of the sword pierced into the sword test stone! If you play very well, you might even be able to choose into the constellation of the Constellation! ”
"Can the Xinmen people participate in the sword trial?"
"Regardless of the starting order, anyone who has learned the gas extraction stage can participate!"
Such rules immediately inspired everyone. In order to test the sword, all the disciples became diligent, from the old disciples to the new disciples, no one wanted to miss this opportunity. The four sword masters also opened up their own areas and began to teach their disciples to collect qi.
A few days later, Heaven and Earth suddenly ordered the disciples of the Earth Gate to take their swords and travel, and led Tianwei Tianhua Tianxiang and his party towards the poplar forest outside the Sword Alliance.
From time to time, there are winds and sand on the road, and the poplar forest that is about to be cut down is actually only the stump roots. Everyone stopped between the stumps, and Tianwei found that there were many swords stuck in the sand. The blades of these swords are sunk into the sand, revealing only a hilt that combines into a mysterious pattern that corresponds to the stump of a poplar forest.
"There is a mine behind this poplar forest, which contains all kinds of ores, and it is next to the desert salt pool, with a great temperature difference between day and night, which can quench the four essences of earth, water, fire and wind. Mining earth qi is a unique sword refining method of the earth gate. Before tempering, bury the sword body in an area with energy vortex. Try to get as close to the center of the vortex as possible to absorb the most essence of energy! ”
Heaven and earth demonstrated while talking, and when the voice was settled, it happened to complete the method of collecting earth qi. All the disciples applauded and were eager to try.
The wind and sand are getting bigger.
Tianwei's shawl was blown away by a strong gust of wind. Heaven and earth raised their hands, grabbed the fluttering corner, and casually wrapped their hands around Tianwei's shoulders and neck.
"Without the poplar forest, this wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger every year!" Tiandi's voice was low and warm, and Tianwei turned his head to look up at him slightly, feeling that his voice was like a wonderful musical instrument.
One by one, everyone walked through the poplar forest and entered the deep dark mine tunnel behind. A few beams of sky light slanted in through the holes in the top of the tunnel, rendering the dark tunnel a psychedelic atmosphere. Heaven and earth led everyone to walk in the labyrinthine mine tunnel, the mine walls on the left and right of the walkway were full of sword hilts, and the small mine holes that extended were all full of swords.
Walking to a fork in the road, Heaven and Earth turned to the doorman behind him and said, "You can find a suitable place for qi collection by yourself, and then take it out and refine it in ten days!" ”
The crowd dispersed in the mine.
Tianwei finally found a suitable small mine, and she used all her strength to pierce her sword deep into the mine wall, but soon after coming out of the small mine, she found that she had been lost in the depths of the labyrinth-like mine.
In the darkness, occasional small streaks of light shine down from the top of the tunnel.
Tianwei walked around inside, but couldn't find the main way back, so she gradually became nervous. I don't know how long it took, there was a slight sound behind her, and Tianwei turned his head to see a vague figure behind the narrow skylight.
She hurriedly shouted, "Is there anyone?" ”
"Tianwei?"
The familiar and warm voice came again, and the figure slowly approached, and the person behind the narrow skylight turned out to be heaven and earth!
The faint light that danced in the depths of darkness shone between the eyebrows of Tianwei and Tiandi, and in their eyes to each other, both exuded a mystery that was the same as the light. A powerful attraction suddenly bred and firmly grabbed them, and when the two were almost about to stick together, Tianhua's voice came from a distance:
"Celestial Phase—"
Tiandi glanced at Tianhua, who suddenly appeared behind Tianwei, the expression on his face instantly became indifferent, and he said to Tianwei lightly: "Everyone is looking for you, it's okay." ”
In the blink of an eye, Tianwei felt that the connection between the two was broken, and he and her immediately felt like they were separated from each other.
