The father and daughter were reunited, and the swordsmith was in a good mood, but his face quickly sank: "Shaoxia, you came back late, and the sword was taken away an hour ago." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What do you mean?" Zhuo Bufan looked regretful: "What the hell is going on?"

The swordsmith looked apologetic and helpless: "Young man, I am ashamed of you in this matter." ”

Zhuo Bufan chuckled lightly and said indifferently: "Why force things that don't belong to you." ”

"Young heroes don't have to regret it. ”

As he spoke, the swordsmith took out a box from his arms and handed it to Zhuo Bufan, which contained a simple and worn parchment, which recorded the forging method of a divine weapon and various required materials, as long as the materials on the parchment were collected, the blade could be forged according to the above method.

"What is this?" Zhuo Bufan took over.

"Shaoxia doesn't know, this is the blueprint I got in a mysterious monument in my early years. I've been looking for the materials described on the parchment all these years, but so far I haven't found anything, and I feel ashamed that the sword of the young man was taken away, and I am ashamed that this drawing for forging the blade young man please accept it quickly. ”

Zhuo Bufan took a cursory look, the materials described on the parchment were more precious than the other, and some could not even be measured by price, and it was not an overnight thing to forge them. The sword that was taken away was precious, but it was less than one-ten-thousandth of this drawing, and although it was impossible to collect materials for forging for a while, it was a priceless treasure

"How this makes. ”

The swordsmith smiled and said: "Shaoxia, although this drawing is extremely precious, it cannot be cast under my conditions, so it is better to give it to Shaoxia than to bury it in my hands." ”

"In that case, then you're welcome. Zhuo Bufan happily accepted: "Thank you." ”

"Dad, Zhuo Shaoxia, you talk, I'll cook for you. Li Xiaohong said: "Zhuo Shaoxia has a life-saving grace for the little woman, and the sheepskin drawings are a thank you gift from my father, and my thank you Shaoxia must be subordinate." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey. Zhuo Bufan agreed heartily.

Li Xiaohong made a table of fragrant meals, Zhuo Bufan and the swordsmith drank some wine and chatted a lot, but more than that, they listened to the swordsmith's sword-casting experience over the years and benefited a lot.

After eating, Zhuo Bufan refused the retention of his father and daughter and returned to the inn alone.

Closing the door and taking out the simple and mysterious parchment, after a long time, he let out a long sigh: "The heart of the deep sea is a priceless treasure that can only be found in the sea area of 10,000 meters, and the 10,000-year-old cold stone costs millions of taels of silver even if it is covered with a fingernail......

In addition to these rare materials, the process of forging a sword is also very different from ordinary methods, and it seems that it is not easy to forge this divine weapon, and it cannot be forced, and the matter of forging sword blades is naturally good. ”

"It's June, and it's still some time before the Youth Academy recruits students, but Maple Leaf Castle is a long way from Kyoto (Jinling Castle), so I'll leave for Kyoto tomorrow just in case. ”

In the past few years, Zhuo Bufan has been studying and cultivating with Shizun Tianxuan Zhenren. Tianxuan Zhenren always puts a sentence on his lips, learn to be a person before learning art, and learn to cultivate the mind before cultivating.

Everyone in Qingyunmen knows that the current head of Zhuo Bufan is talented and intelligent, and his understanding is a hundred times or a thousand times that of ordinary people. Because of this, Tianxuan Zhenren's teaching of Zhuo Bufan is stricter than ordinary people, in addition to learning and exercising like other disciples every day, there is also a cultivation method tailored for him by Tianxuan Zhenren.

After an ordinary disciple has completed a hard day of cultivation, the evening is a good opportunity to recover his energy and physical strength, and under the teaching of Tianxuan Zhenren, Zhuo Bufan's sleeping time seems to have become meditation and cultivation.

Qingyun belongs to the Taoist lineage, meditation is the most basic way of cultivation, sit cross-legged with your eyes closed, adjust the breath in and out, put your hands in a certain position, and don't want to do anything. Meditation can regulate and relax the mind, relieve the fatigue of the day, open up the wisdom and increase the will.

Maybe meditation is very simple, but a simple thing to persist in for many years, this is not a simple thing, not to mention that the characteristic of meditation is "quiet", a meditation must sit in place motionless and persist for a night, at the beginning Zhuo Bufan is not used to it, and even feels that it is torture, but after a long time, it is natural to get used to it.

This night, time passed in meditation.

The next day, the sun rose in the east and shone brightly.

After breathing, Zhuo Bufan came to the hall and prepared to go on the road after breakfast.

While eating, a young man walked in outside the inn, and everyone's eyes in the inn focused on him. The young man was dressed in purple, although his clothes were a little shabby, but they were very neatly worn on his body, and his handsome face was a little immature.

"It's the boy who wants to challenge the great elder of the Lin family to become famous in one fell swoop, and Huangpu is ruthless. Someone whispered.

Huangpu Ruthless looked at the people in the inn with indifferent eyes, and said in as flat and high a tone as possible: "I am Huangpu Ruthless, and I am here to select some people from among you to be my entourage. ”

The warriors in the inn looked at each other, and after a moment, a burst of laughter suddenly filled the air.

Huangpu stood ruthlessly at the door, as if reciting a manifesto, and said: "My request is that you must have a loyal and firm heart. ”

A bearded man who ate a large piece of meat and drank heavily laughed twice and asked, "So, how many taels of silver can you pay us?"

"I don't have any money. Whampoa pondered mercilessly for a moment, and then, in a subdued tone, continued: "However, I can bestow upon those squires who follow me great honors that are worth more and more meaningful than money, and their names will always be remembered by the world." ”

The inn erupted in laughter.

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and slapped the table hard, feeling as if he had just heard one of the funniest jokes in the world.

"Shopkeeper's. ”

The shopkeeper was making the account book, and hurriedly came to the bearded man, and said respectfully: "May I ask the guest officer, what are your orders?"

The bearded man threw a silver ingot to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, where did you get this guy who tells jokes, come, uncle is happy, reward." ”

The shopkeeper laughed dryly, didn't explain, took the silver two into his arms and said ruthlessly to Huangpu: "Young man, these uncles are all crawling on the rivers and lakes, you are in the wrong place, let's go!"

Huangpu looked displeased, but his tone was much calmer: "I am going to do a good deed of great significance for the benefit of the people, although it is a little dangerous, but the final reward cannot be measured by money, will any of you go with me?"
