Chapter 38: Sword Forging (4)
Chapter 38: Sword Casting (4)
Jiang Chen, Jiang Wu, and Jun Zhu were all silent for a while, and Jiang Chen sighed: "It seems that all three of us suspect that the owner of the vampire demon bat is Master!"
"It's not suspicion, it's just certainty!" Junzhu said, "I know you don't want to doubt him, but his motive for deceiving you is very obvious, and we can't help but not be suspicious." β
"In this way, Master accepted us as apprentices in order to let Jiang Wu raise his sword with blood. Jiang Chen groaned: "Jiang Wu became his swordsmith in a daze, and used his own flesh and blood to forge swords for him. When the time comes, he will take the sword. β
"We always thought Master had died. Now it seems that this is probably just a trap that he has laid a long time ago. Most of the information sent by the paper crane is fake, and the purpose is only to lure us to Pingyang Valley. And most of the people who destroyed all traces in Pingyang Valley afterwards were also him!"
Jiang Wu nodded, he raised the green sword in his hand, and sighed: "It turns out that everything is for the purpose of forging this sword! The so-called love between master and apprentice and the grace of teaching are just a play on the spot." β
"The most important thing now is how to protect yourself!" Jiang Chen said: "Master has not torn the skin so far, just because Jiang Wu is not dead, and he can continue to raise the sword with blood, and there is still use value." He is most likely hiding in the shadows and watching our two brothers' every move, once he feels that the sword has been forged, or finds that Jiang Wu no longer uses blood to raise the sword, maybe he will take the sword, and then kill the two of us! Miss Junzhu, you also have to hide, otherwise you may be implicated!"
"Then what should I do?" Junzhu said with some worry, "Why don't we go to Yaowangzhuang together." Although our Yaowangzhuang is not mainly cultivated, we have met a lot of Taoists and have some contacts with the Taoist. I don't think your master will dare to trespass on Yaowangzhuang. β
Jiang Chen nodded: "Returning to Yaowangzhuang is the best choice for you. But we brothers can't go, we will bring disaster to your mansion if we go!"
"Then you can't stay here and wait for death!" Jun Zhu hurriedly said: "Let's go, run as far as you can, escape as far as you can, escape to a place where your master can't find it!"
"Okay!" Jiang Chen immediately decided: "Let's pack up our things and leave." Except for "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum" and some Taoist weapons, there is no need to bring anything else. β
Jiang Wu said: "Aunt Li went to buy vegetables, I'll leave a note for her and ask her to leave here too, so as not to be affected by us." β
"Then I'll rent a bigger carriage and get out of town now!" said Junzhu.
Several people acted separately, Jun Zhu was about to go to the market with Xiaobai in his arms, but he saw an old man in a Taoist robe walking into Suiyuan Alley.
Jun Zhu wanted to pass by the old man, but the old man just shook his sleeve robe slightly, and an invisible force poured out, forcing Jun Zhu to take a few steps back, and then retreated into Suiyuan Alley.
Chen Ying carried the burden on his back and walked out of the gym with Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was holding a wooden box containing the "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum", just when he saw Jun Zhu returning, he asked suspiciously, "Why did you run back again?"
Without waiting for Jun Zhu to answer, he immediately saw the old man walking into the alley again, and his face suddenly turned like ashes: "Master!"
"Chen Ying, protect Miss Junzhu!" Jiang Chen whispered to Chen Ying.
The old man stepped into the courtyard step by step, and after he saw the burden Jiang Chen was carrying, he asked, "Where are you going?"
"The weather is fine, and the disciple plans to go hiking in the suburbs. Jiang Chen forced his composure and squeezed out some smiles.
The old man snorted coldly: "You have also packed up your baggage, this is to go out far away, are you still planning to go away?
Jiang Chen said with a smile: "The disciple thought that the master had been killed, but today he suddenly saw the master appear safe and sound, so he was a little surprised." β
Jiang Wu also walked out of the house at this time, he saw the old man, and called out Master, but he was also frightened, and even pulled out the blue sword and protected it in front of Jiang Chen.
The old man glanced at the green sword, and a smile appeared on his face: "Good sword, good sword! You can cultivate a sword like this, but it is much beyond the expectations of the teacher." But today, it should also be returned to its original owner, and it's time to return the sword to the teacher!"
Jiang Wu said hatefully: "It's easy to return the sword, but I'm afraid that after returning the sword, the master will kill me and a few others!"
The old man looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and said: "Haha, it turns out that you have already guessed the intention of being a teacher!
Now that the disguise has been torn apart, Jiang Chen is not as scared as before, he frowned and asked, "Master, there are a few things that the disciple doesn't understand, and I ask the master for guidance." First, why did Master choose Jiang Wu as the swordsmith and use his blood to raise the sword? Second, why did the Master go to great lengths to lead us to the Demon Valley? Third, why didn't the Master directly kill us to take blood to raise the sword, but to lie and deceive, and in the name of master and apprentice, to instruct Jiang Wu to raise the sword with blood?"
The old man smiled and said, "You ask so many questions, do you want to delay time? The villain died of talking too much, so you can't be fooled as a teacher!"
As the old man spoke, he immediately slapped with one palm and hit Jiang Chen in the air. Jiang Chen only felt that a fierce wind suddenly hit him, and his chest felt as if he had been hit by a giant hammer, and he was so shocked that he took a few steps back and almost fell.
was slapped in the air from such a distance, Jiang Chen's internal organs turned over for a while, and he almost didn't vomit out his lunch.
Jiang Wu was in a hurry, and he pointed a green sword in his hand, but he didn't cut it at the old man.
"Why don't you fight back!" the old man frowned and said to Jiang Wu: "Don't you know how to use the sword technique that the master taught you?"
"Don't use the sword!" Jiang Chen said hatefully: "He just deliberately provoked you to use the sword, so that before killing you, he would use your blood to raise the sword for the last time!"
"That's right, that's what it means to be a teacher!" The old man didn't hide it, he slapped Jiang Chen again, and said to Jiang Wu at the same time: "Aren't you two brothers in deep brotherhood, do you watch your brother being beaten to death by the teacher, but you don't dare to use the sword?
"Damn!" Jiang Wu was furious: "I'll fight with you!"
Jiang Wu danced wildly with the green sword, and unleashed the small half of the basic sword technique he cultivated extremely quickly, and suddenly the sword slashed towards the old man sword after sword.
However, every time the sword did not hit the old man's body, it was blocked by a soft but infinitely strong Dao Qi, the sword blade did not touch the old man's body at all, and the Dao robe on his body was not cut.
"Well, the swordsmanship is very proficient!" the old man praised: "The few apprentices who were accepted before the master had to practice for several years to achieve such swordsmanship attainments, you are indeed a genius who cultivates swordsmanship! However, the sword technique passed on to you by the master must be combined with the blood to nourish the sword in order to exert its true power, if you don't sacrifice the sword with blood, it will never be possible to be injured as a teacher!"
"It turns out that you have taken in several apprentices!" Jiang Chen said, "I'm afraid they have already been poisoned by you!"
"Not bad!" the old man said, and struck Jiang Chen with another palm: "Their blood and lives are used to forge swords, but unfortunately, their blood is too inferior, and the effect is not significant. And Jiang Wu's blood is used to raise swords, and the effect is extremely good!"
Jiang Chen was knocked to the ground by this palm, and spit out a mouthful of blood with "wow".
If it was a fight on the street, it would have attracted countless onlookers at this time, but Suiyuan Lane is a very remote alley, and it is usually full of doors, and there is no outsider at this time.
Jiang Wu was anxious and angry, he couldn't bear Jiang Chen to be beaten, and was about to use his left hand to slash the blade of the sword and sacrifice the sword with blood, when he suddenly heard a roar of "whoa", Xiaobai turned into a demon form, and yelled at the old man, with a fierce look!
Jiang Chen was overjoyed, and he was so excited that he almost cried: "Good Xiaobai, you finally know the protector!"
The old man sneered, and he untied an oiled paper bag tied around his waist and threw it on the groundβit turned out to be a roast chicken wrapped in it.
After Xiaobai saw the roast chicken, he immediately retracted back to his original appearance, screaming and happily eating the roast chicken, where does he care about Jiang Chen's life or death!
Jiang Chen was suddenly disappointed: "Stupid dog, dead dog! A roast chicken will buy you, your loyalty is not as good as a roast chicken!"
"For the teacher, I knew that you had a silver quill spirit beast, so I was naturally prepared! Most villains die of negligence, but for the teacher, I am thoughtful!" the old man smiled, very proud.
The old man glanced at Jun Zhu and said, "This little girl is as beautiful as a fairy, if she is killed by the teacher, what a pity if she dies with a palm!"
As he spoke, the old man raised his palm with one hand and made a gesture to hit Jun Zhu.
Xiao Bai suddenly roared again, and it threw away half of the roast chicken in its mouth, and turned into a demon form again, protecting Jun Zhu in front of him.
Junzhu was overjoyed, and thought excitedly: "It seems that Xiaobai still loves me, and he doesn't want to roast chicken to save me!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, his face sank, and he threw down another roast chicken from his waist, and scolded: "If you originally kept the wine, give it to you!"
Xiaobai's eyes were firmly attracted by the roast chicken and hesitated. Two roast chickens and rescuing the owner seem to be a difficult thing to choose.
The roast chicken is still hot, and the aroma quickly spreads. In the end, Xiaobai still couldn't resist the temptation, it turned into a puppy, running away with two roast chickens in his mouth, and didn't care about the life or death of the masters.
Seeing this scene, Jun Zhu and Jiang Chen were silent, and they had already scolded Xiaobai a hundred times in their hearts.
Probably for Xiaobai, there is no concern in the world that cannot be solved by one roast chicken - if there is, then two!
