Chapter 20: Ojiko, the Divine Craftsman
As everyone climbed to the top of Zifeng Mountain, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a house that appeared from time to time, which seemed very different in the modern environment. Moreover, in front of this house, there is an open-air casting platform, and a big man with a top body keeps hitting the red-hot metal with a sledgehammer in his hand, and he doesn't seem to notice the arrival of everyone.
Looking at the situation in front of them, perhaps because of respect for the craftsman, Wang Yuyang and the others did not make too many moves, the big man in front of him had a strange temperament, but he was extremely focused, and it seemed that there was nothing else in his eyes only the metal that was constantly knocked. This big man may be everyone's goal tonight, there is only this big man on the top of the mountain at present, and the voice is also coming from here.
After a while, the big man, perhaps tired, stopped forging in his hand and turned to drink water. At this time, Dahan saw Wang Yuyang and the others around him.
"Who are you and how did you get here?" Dahan asked suspiciously.
Hearing Dahan ask himself and the others, Wang Yuyang stepped forward, "I am the leader of the stars, may I ask who the seniors are?" Although it felt a little weird, Wang Yuyang still asked.
"Me? My name is Ou Zhizi, a rough man who strikes iron in Yue Country, what predecessors are not predecessors, and there is a sour and rotten atmosphere of Confucianism. You don't look like you're a child of Confucianism, do you? Why do you talk so awkwardly. This big man named Ou Zhizi said disgustedly.
Hearing Ou Zhizi say this, Wang Yuyang and the others were stunned, Yue Guo? Is there such a country? It seems to be a country in the ancient Spring and Autumn Period, this person turned out to be from the Yue country?!
Thinking that the 'person' in front of him turned out to be from the Yue Kingdom, everyone's hearts were also cold, if what this person said was true, then this 'person' should not be a 'person', but the legendary 'ghost', this ghost thing feels so real, almost no different from people.
"The predecessor was Master Ou Zhizi, the casting master of the Yue Kingdom in the ancient Spring and Autumn Period?" Wang Yuyang asked respectfully, although this Ou Zhizi in front of him is likely to be a ghost, but for Wang Yuyang, who is practicing martial arts, this is his predecessor, and being respectful is a must.
"Ancient? What year is it? "Although Ou Zhizi seems to be a rough man, he is not stupid to become a generation of divine craftsmen. I felt a little different when I saw what everyone was wearing before, and then when I heard Wang Yuyang say ancient times, Ou Zhizi felt that something was wrong, so he asked.
"It's 2112 A.D., and it's been almost 2,500 years since the fall of the Yue Kingdom." Wang Yuyang said calmly, this ghost thing asking for money doesn't seem to be a ghost or something, if you guess correctly, Ou Zhizi should have relied on his own obsession and has always existed in this world, and during this catastrophe, because of mutations, by chance, he obtained this body in front of him. And this body doesn't look like an entity like everyone, but it's a little illusory, but it's still a kind of entity.
Hearing Wang Yuyang say this, Ou Zhizi paused for a moment, "What? Are you saying that the country of Vietnam has been extinct for more than 2,000 years? How can it be? So how am I still alive? ”
Wang Yuyang nodded, and said with certainty, "The Yue Kingdom has indeed been extinct for more than two thousand years, and the predecessors should not be considered alive now, but seem to exist in a special way in the world. ”
As Wang Yuyang finished speaking, Ou Zhizi stared at his body, and found that his body was not the kind of entity of a normal living person, but appeared from time to time, giving people a very vague feeling.
"It turns out that I have already died, how did I die?" Ojiko suddenly crouched down in pain with her head in her hands, as if recalling her past, trying to figure out how she died and why she existed.
After about half an hour, Ou Zhizi stopped trembling and slowly stood up, but his eyes were not the blue color before, but there was a lot of blood red, and as Ou Zhizi got up, everyone suddenly felt a thick sadness, as if they were mourning the departure of their relatives.
"Thank you, Wang Yuyang, if it weren't for you, I would still be forging these weapons here. I finally remembered what was going on, ladies and gentlemen, if you don't dislike it, come to my house to rest and rest, I'll tell you slowly. Ojiko said with a sigh.
"Okay."
Sitting on the chair next to him, Ou Zhizi said differently, "I should belong to the existence of no human or ghost now, originally I was just an ordinary lonely soul, but now my body is filled with a special power, it seems to be the power of the wind, but it is a little cold, if I guess correctly, this should be the power that only the underworld has, and I, the lonely soul, can have this power that only Yama can fuse, it seems that something has changed." ”
Hearing Ou Zhizi say this, Wang Yuyang nodded, "That's right, this is the scope of the ghost city of Xudu, and there is dungeon energy everywhere, the master should have undergone a mutation, and his soul fused with the power of this dungeon, so he reappeared in the world." ”
Ou Zhizi said suddenly, "It turns out that this is the case, I was originally a blacksmith in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because I was proficient in casting weapons, so I was appreciated by the King of Chu back then, and successively ordered me to cast the three divine swords of Longyuan Sword, Tai'a Sword, and Gongbu Sword. It seems that my reappearance has something to do with the blessing of the heavens, the ghost city of Xudu has existed for a long time, but there are very few who can turn into the body of Yama. ”
The name "Yama's Body ......" surprised everyone, Yama really exists?
"Then I had a disciple named Ganjiang, and that boy was a god with the gift of a foundry, so I passed on his mantle and married my daughter to him, which is a beautiful thing in itself." Ojiko looked a little painful at this time, as if those memories made his heart ache inexplicably.
Wang Yuyang sighed, "We have also heard of the legend of the Divine Casting Master and Mo Ye, and later they cast the divine sword in order to complete the order of the King of Chu, and the husband and wife both threw themselves into the casting furnace, and later became the two great divine swords of the Gan General and Mo Xie." ”
Hearing Wang Yuyang's statement, Ou Zhizi was very angry, "Nonsense! What a god caster, that hypocrite, he is clearly a magic caster! No! He doesn't even deserve to be called a foundry! He's a demon! ”
Sensing Ou Zhizi's anger, Wang Yuyang hurriedly closed his mouth, knowing that what he knew was only a legend, and it was better to let this insider tell him about the specific things, and, depending on the situation, there was a big secret in this, not as he knew.
"Back then, because I was casting the Yixi Excalibur, I went to a foreign land to find the materials for casting the sword, and because the materials needed to cast the Yiyi Excalibur were thousand-year-old ore illuminated by the last rays of the sunset, I spent a long time collecting them. But the cadre, who took advantage of my absence, intended to seize the position of the craftsman, and when the king of Chu wanted to get another divine sword, the cadre took the initiative to take the task. Originally, as a foundry, it was normal to want to become a god craftsman, and because I had been away for too long, many people thought I was dead, even the cadres were no exception, so he wanted to become a god craftsman and continue to glorify the lintel, I am very happy. However, his casting skills have not yet reached that level, and it is impossible to forge the divine sword, but he keeps advising and insists on going his own way, and goes to master and apprentice to complete that task when he has not yet reached that strength. Ou Zhizi seemed to hate iron and steel, and said in an atmosphere.
"What? The Commander failed to forge the Excalibur? The two divine swords of the cadre and Mo Ye? Wang Yuyang asked suspiciously, this is not consistent with history at all, you must know that the cadre in history is a god caster who forged the two great swords of the cadre and the Mo evil.
Of course, he couldn't have forged any Excalibur, and after many castings, he realized that he couldn't forge Excalibur. And by this time he had already received the king's order, and if he could not succeed, then he would be guilty of deceit, and he would be executed. After that, I don't know where I heard that when I used the Heavenly Fall Essence Gold to cast the sword, I burned the sword with 5,000 men and 5,000 women who practiced bone charcoal, and then washed the sword with the blood of 10,000 people, so that the sword could have the power of the sword. But it's not a divine sword at all, it's a magic sword, a demonic sword. As Ou Zhizi finished speaking, in terms of momentum, it was not as sharp as before, but full of disappointment.
Everyone frowned when they heard that the cadre had used 10,000 people to sacrifice the sword with blood, this is simply a person in the demon path. I didn't expect that the cadre would do this, this guy is completely enchanted, how could a normal caster use such a method to cast the divine sword. This completely loses the bottom line of being a human being. Evil demons, the fact that the cadres will be such demons has completely shattered the image of the cadres in everyone's hearts, and they didn't expect that such a famous god caster cadre in history would be such an evil demon.
"After the cadre made that bloody sword, my daughter only learned about this matter, and it is impossible to do this kind of action in front of others. And my daughter is kind-hearted, and it is very painful to learn that the cadre has used so many people's lives to complete his magic sword, because of the influence of the bloodthirsty power of the magic sword, the cadre will soon be cursed by the person who died because of the creation of the magic sword, and becomes very bloodthirsty, often killing ordinary people, and then my daughter in order to make the cadre stop killing, she found an ancient trick, found the mineral deposits used by the cadre to make the magic sword and recast an identical sword, and this sword is just an ordinary sword, It wasn't enough to deal with the demons, and then my daughter threw herself into the forge and merged her kind and benevolent soul into the sword. Ojiko slowly told the truth of the matter, which made everyone angry at the evil deeds done by the general, and at the same time expressed regret for Ojiko's daughter.
After a pause, Ojiko continued, "After my daughter threw herself into the casting furnace, a new Excalibur was born, the Excalibur was nameless, and with the casting of the Excalibur, without anyone's control, it flew out of the casting furnace on its own, and flew straight towards the Cadre, intending to cut off the Cadre's Demon Sword. After that fierce battle, the cadre was invincible, and also fused with the magic sword, and my daughter in order to prevent the magic sword from continuing to be the evil world, the two swords clashed with each other, and finally the magic sword was cut off by the divine sword incarnated by my daughter, maybe my daughter missed her husband, and lived to surpass those unjust souls who died in vain through herself, my daughter hoped that through the divine sword that she incarnated, the two swords were fused together, so this divine sword has four blades, and this sword was named Mo Ye by her, It means persuading people not to be evil. ”
"Don't be evil, don't be evil, that's the case, husband, you must not become a bastard like a cadre." Su Qingluo grabbed Wang Yuyang's hand with tears in her eyes and said.
Rubbing Su Qingluo's head, Wang Yuyang said softly, "Fool, how could I become such an evil demon, at least, I never want you to be harmed, and I will never allow you to be hurt in any way because of myself." ”
"Well, you must remember." Su Qingluo nodded hard, seemingly satisfied with Wang Yuyang's performance.
"Master Ou Zhizi, junior Wang Yuyang, I hope you can join our team and work together for future battles." Wang Yuyang turned around and bowed to Ou Zhizi and said respectfully.
"Join your team? Fight? After so many years, isn't there peace in the world? Ojiko asked with a frown, seemingly dissatisfied with the situation.
"No, so many years have passed, we humans have already conquered the entire known starry sky, and the starry sky we see so far has the existence of our human beings, but not long ago, a catastrophe suddenly occurred in the whole world, humans, animals, a large number of deaths, even if they are alive, almost all of them have become all kinds of monsters, we humans are now facing the crisis of extinction, the master is a divine craftsman, I ask the master again to come out of the mountain, help us repel the monsters." Wang Yuyang pointed to the stars in the sky and said in a deep voice.
Hearing Wang Yuyang's explanation, Ou Zhizi nodded, "It turns out that our human race has been unified, monster?" Well, since humanity is facing the danger of extinction, of course I can't be left alone, I will go out of the mountains with you to clean up these monsters that endanger human peace. ”
