Chapter 9
A convoy carrying weapons roared out of the city, and indigo pennants embroidered with the logo of the Sword League fluttered in the wind above the wooden carts, and the people of the market retreated one after another when they saw it.
The officer transporting the weapons did not expect to meet the swordsman here, and hurriedly ordered the standard-bearer to stop the brigade and get out of the car to say goodbye to heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth took a few glances at the convoy, and then urged the official to set off quickly.
After that, the heavenly belt traveled to the gate of the city in the east. The entire east city gate is heavily guarded, and it just so happened that Shan Tu, the general of the Yanqi Kingdom, was counting a few carts of weapons nearby, and as soon as he saw the figure of heaven and earth, he immediately waved his hand to signal heaven and earth to pass.
"Wait for me here!" Heaven and earth commanded Tianwei in a commanding tone, and then walked alone in the direction of the single thud.
Shan Tu: "What is the origin of this girl?" ”
Heaven and Earth: "At present, it seems that she is just an orphan girl with talent and no background. ”
Shan Tu: "Now the situation in the four countries is tense, and the war situation is about to break out. Although Wuyikong has agreed to the first fire mantra and sword weapon, it is still owned by the four countries, so the king has an order to order you to obtain the direct transmission of the heart method as soon as possible! ”
Heaven and Earth: "The master has never mentioned the matter of inheritance, and no one in the world is sure!" ”
Shan Tu: "There are only a few months left before the sword trial, you spend more time on forging the sword, maybe you can let Wuyi pass you on!" ”
Shan Tu ordered the adjutant to step forward, and the adjutant handed Tiandi a bag of items and a letter to his family.
Shan Tu: "This was brought by your mother to the caravan." ”
Heaven and Earth: "How are my mother and siblings?" ”
Shan Tu: "Don't worry, they are well protected by the king!" The sooner you complete your mission, the sooner you can reunite as a family. ”
After the conversation between the two, Tiandi regained his spirits and returned to Tianwei's side.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the summer mountains are like blue, the heaven and the earth take the sky to climb the east city wall, and take in the desert scenery outside the city. The vast suburbs are surrounded by copper and iron horses, and elite soldiers are marching. Under the east city gate, the convoy carrying timber lined up from the city gate to the vast distance, one after another, and the river flowed endlessly.
"What are these?"
"In order to complete the delivery of the weapons to Shikoku, the Sword City needs to cut down wood day and night for the sword casting furnace in the city."
"With such a long convoy, how much wood do you have to cut every day?" Tianwei asked with a surprised face, only to notice that the heaven and earth beside him became speechless.
Soon, heaven and earth changed the subject: "By the way, how did you do it that day?" ”
"Huh?"
"At the recruitment meeting, you quickly took shape, how did you do it?" Heaven and earth imitate the posture of Tianwei casting swords, and they learn vividly.
Tianwei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is a secret, tell you, will you believe me?" ”
Heaven and Earth: "Hmm. ”
Tianwei: "I talked to the sword, and it followed me." ”
Heaven and Earth laughed and said jokingly: "It turns out that you haven't grown up yet!" ”
Tianwei frowned lightly, and retorted eloquently: "My father said that there are four realms of the human soul. At the source, the soul is one with God; In the realm of creation, the soul has a self; In the field of transformation, the soul has a form and a form; In the material world, the soul is cloned with the flesh and the divinity is hidden. ”
"Your father's realm of knowledge sounds profound, but does it have anything to do with swordsmithing?" Heaven and earth casually hugged their slender arms, and there was an unfinished smile on the corner of their lips.
"In this world, there is free will for those who do good and those who do evil. In the eyes of a swordsmith, ore is as mixed with evil as human free will, made from a mixture of precious metals and impurities. If it can be re-transformed by the person who picks the material, it will become tangible in the mold, and finally reborn as a sword in the smelting of the furnace, and the bad will be burned by the fire, and the good will be put into the warehouse. Tianwei looked up at the distant sky, her voice was steady, with thoughts moving with the wind, "My father believes that only good souls can rise to the source and become one with God!" ”
Heaven and Earth suddenly lost the idea of joking, although he felt that he could not say anything, but he was very docile and listened to Tianwei talk about these special topics. He found that in Tianwei's body, he didn't seem to find emotions such as shyness, cowardice, and forbearance, which ordinary women would have.
"My father said that the sword can tell the story, and every sword is like a man!"
These words are nonsense at first sound, but in retrospect they seem to have some truth. Now, you've become my little teacher! As Tiandi spoke, he unintentionally noticed a short sword on Tianwei's waist.
Tianwei saw it, and Dafang took down the short sword and handed it to Heaven and Earth to appreciate and play.
Heaven and earth turned over and looked at it several times, and couldn't help but praise: "What a sword of son and mother, did you fight?" ”
Tian Wei smiled slightly: "I hit the inner layer, and my father hit the outer layer!" ”
Heaven and Earth sighed: "It seems that you really like to forge swords!" ”
Tianwei slanted at him: "Is there still someone who pretends to like to forge swords?" ”
Tianwei's question made Tiandi hesitate for a moment before he said slowly: "In order to help my mother support my younger siblings, I went to Sword City as an apprentice at the age of nine. Love fencing? I guess it'......."
Tianwei said: "If you don't like it, you won't use sincerity!" If you don't care, how can you fight a good sword! ”
Heaven and earth fell into contemplation unconsciously. It was the first time he had heard such a thing. And in this way, it seems that some hidden nature in my heart is being revived. Become the heir to the world's first swordsmith, or be a farmer and stay with the nameless grass that no longer has time to care. Mother continues to take care of the flowers and plants that were planted in the backyard before the age of nine? Or, to be a traveler in the red dust, without any burden, to fight the sword world, to go to the cape to beg for wine, the name is freedom.
What he likes, in fact, has not yet been seen.
Before he had time to understand himself, he had been sent to Sword City by King Yanqi. He had to become a swordsmith, and his life was sealed by someone else.
Heaven and earth became more and more silent, and Tianwei did not disturb his thoughts, and the two of them quietly looked at the vast desert in the distance. It wasn't until sunset that they returned to the Sword Alliance.
