Chapter 8: The Ruthless Sword
The two of them stayed for more than 40 days, during which the sect sent letters urging them many times.
There is no disciple who has just started to dare to go down the mountain for so long and not go back like them, and the two of them can be regarded as setting a precedent. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were hard enough to support them, they would have been arrested by the law enforcement disciples and returned to the mountain gate by other disciples.
On this day, a young man in Tsing Yi came to the door and told the two people who were practicing that the sword had been cast, and the master of the sword casting asked the two to come over for acceptance.
Zhao Zheng, who was cross-legged and cultivating Geng Jindu, slowly finished work, opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a cold flash in his eyes, which was quite sharp. Scared the little guy who was secretly observing him.
In the past two months, he has not been idle, he has been cultivating Gengjin Jue hard, and he has some talent, coupled with the foundation he laid before, he can now cultivate Gengjin Jue to Xiaocheng.
Geng Jin Jue Xiaocheng will involuntarily exude an aura full of sharp edge from his body, which is easy to scare ordinary people. Zhao Zheng was also quite helpless about this, but fortunately, he cultivated quickly, and when Gengjin decided to become introverted, this terrifying aura could be retracted freely.
The two went to the store first to settle the bill, and then followed the messenger all the way back to the blacksmith shop, and when they arrived at the place, Zhao Zheng took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and sent the little guy away.
After more than forty days, Zhao Zheng finally saw his piece of extraterrestrial dark iron again, but the original piece of dark iron has now changed its appearance - two feet and one inch long, the width is not much different from the palm of a young child's hand, and the sword body that is not thin or thick is polished like a mirror, glowing with cold light under the sunlight. The swallow made of ancient brass does not have any traces of engraving except for the three words "Ruthless Sword", which is far from the iron sword that was scrapped after making the sword move.
This was specially requested by Zhao Zheng, in the era when there were no drawings, he could not let the swordsmith play freely, he had already learned a lesson from the previous sword.
He held the sword in his hand and admired it carefully, and the breeze blew, and a wisp of his untied bangs floated to the blade with the wind, and his hair was split in half by the blade without leaving a trace, without the slightest resistance.
"What a peerless sword! The master's work is truly a rare masterpiece in the world. Zhao Zheng didn't raise his head and praised, he liked this sword too much, even if there was a peerless beauty standing by his side at this moment, he would not be distracted to take a look.
"Zhao Xiaogongzi likes it, I hope this sword that has collected all my efforts can be famous in your hands!" The old man reminded Zhao Zheng not to forget the promise he made before casting the sword - to become famous in the rivers and lakes with this sword.
"Don't worry! Zhao will not disappoint the master! β
"Senior brother, let's go, after leaving the sect for so long, if you don't go back, my master will send the second senior brother to find the two of us."
The two paid for the sword-making, said goodbye to the old man, hired two horses at the car dealership, and hurried to the sect without stopping.
ββββββββββ
"Senior Brother Zhao, why is your sword called the name Ruthless, and what is the story in it?" Senior Brother Ye was very curious about Zhao Zheng's name.
The two were on the road at this time.
Ma was tired and needed to rest, so the two of them were sitting on the ground, eating the dry food they had brought with them.
"What's the story, the name was given casually by the junior brother." Zhao Zheng swallowed the chewy coarse grain pancake in his mouth hard, picked up the water bag he was carrying, and wanted to take a sip. The feel of the hydration bag made him feel wrong, and he poured it into his mouth, and sure enough, it was empty.
"Senior brother, do you still have water?"
"I've got a little bit of it, you can drink it all." Senior Brother Ye weighed his water bag and handed it to Zhao Zheng.
Senior Brother Ye's water also bottomed out, Zhao Zheng drank it no matter how embarrassed he was, he poured half of it in his mouth, and barely moistened his throat. returned the water bag to Senior Brother Ye again.
"Senior brother, drink the rest of the water first, and then I'll fill it up for you."
"Where do you go to fetch water in this wilderness? Let's lead the horse along the road to find it, and save you from running back. β
After getting along for two months, Zhao Zheng saw Senior Brother Ye's conduct clearly, this person is worthy of deep friendship.
Along the way, he is very much like being a senior brother, not to mention all kinds of care in life, and always makes Zhao Zheng feel very comfortable in details.
The two immediately packed up their packages and led their horses together to find a water source.
After walking for about half an hour, the two saw a road that seemed to lead to a farmer's house in the countryside, and the two brothers Zhao Zheng were really thirsty, and they didn't care whether the path could lead to someone's house, so they had to follow the path in a hurry.
Passing through a section of bushes, it suddenly opened up in front of me, and sure enough, it was a simple small village, with scattered houses on both sides of Ruth, about 20 households. Senior Brother Ye was so overjoyed that he wanted to rush over to fetch water, but the sharp-eyed Zhao Zheng found that the situation was wrong and grabbed him.
"Senior brother, slow down, listen carefully."
Senior Brother Ye stopped and listened intently, and there seemed to be a woman's cry faintly coming from the village in the distance.
The two men turned on their horses and walked cautiously towards the village. Before he had gone far, a strong man on horseback ran out of the village, shouting as he ran: "Three Protectors!" I found two disciples of the Seven Xuanmen! That's for you. β
"The little cub of the Seven Xuanmen still dares to run to the territory of my Wild Wolf Gang, I really don't know how to write the dead word! obediently threw away his weapons and surrendered, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin...... "Far away, I heard the arrogant clamor of the strong man.
Zhao Zheng thought he was too annoying, so he rode over and killed him with a sword.
died so ordinarily, this passer-by of the Wild Wolf Gang may have gone out without looking at the yellow calendar, and even lost his life without even seeing the sword that Zhao Zhengxin played.
Zhao Zheng didn't enter the village after killing him, who knows if there is an ambush inside, it's easy to dodge with open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows, and it's only safe to stay outside.
He and Senior Brother Ye were waiting on the outskirts of the village, waiting for the Wild Wolf Gang to come out and respond to the changes.
After a while, a group of people from the Wild Wolf Gang rushed over on horseback, scolding, and swearing. The first of these is a bald head with darker skin than wheat. He glanced at the corpse lying on the side of the road and spat at it.
"Boy, you're quite bold, and you dare to stay after killing our Wolf Gang."
"Who are you, I have a sword and don't kill the nameless." Zhao Zheng ignored him. Senior Brother Ye looked at the corpse of Passerby A behind him and fell into deep thought.
"I'm the big protector of the Wild Wolf Gang Flame Hall, Li Badao, boy, you're crazy! I just don't know if your swordsmanship has the capital to make you crazy. The bald head held a very bluffing-looking nine-ring knife in his hand and slashed straight at Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng's sword is very fast, and with Xiao Cheng's Gengjin Due, it is extremely sharp, if the sword in his hand touches the big knife, the big knife will definitely break. But he never did anything superfluous.
The cold light flashed, and his sword pierced through the flaw of the broadsword, heading straight for Li Badao's throat......
The Wild Wolf Gang's great protector didn't expect Zhao Zheng's swordsmanship to be so fast and strong until he died. Like the passerby who was lying on the ground, he lost his life without holding out for a round.
The big knife in Li Badao's hand lost its source of strength and continued to slash at Zhao Zheng by inertia, Zhao Zheng picked it up with a sword, and shot it at a disciple in the crowd with skill, and the knife appeared on the chest of the Wild Wolf Gang disciple in the blink of an eye, and habitually brought it under the horse with inertia.
The remaining seven or eight Wild Wolf Gang disciples scattered and fled when they saw that something was wrong, and Zhao Zheng was unable to do anything, so he only caught up with the five slower runners and eliminated them one by one. He didn't chase the fast wolf gang disciple, he couldn't catch up, so he could only waste time in vain.
Even if Senior Brother Ye is used to seeing his tricks, he is still stunned when he looks at the corpses on the ground at this moment, this Senior Brother Zhao is too strong, it is easier to kill a wild wolf to protect the Dharma than to kill a chicken by himself!
Zhao Zheng figured out the approximate strength of this Jianghu in the fight with Li Badao, and his heart suddenly became much more stable, he asked Senior Brother Shangye to cut off Li Badao's bald head, and wrapped the clothes on the corpse and hung it on the saddle. Go out and bring back the head of a wild wolf gang protector, and return to the sect to see who dares to say one more word.
The two went to the village that had just been plagued by the wolf gang to replenish water, listening to the words of the villagers who were grateful to Dade, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but sigh, it was not easy to live under the rule of bandits.
It's a very clichΓ© story, today the Wild Wolf Gang came out to loot supplies under the leadership of Li Badao, and by the way, they did some disgusting things to bully men and women. happened to be caught up by Zhao Zheng's brothers, and they were given righteousness and courage at will.
"Senior Brother"
"Well, what's the matter, junior brother?"
"It's okay......"
This answer made Senior Brother Ye's face black, Emotional little brother, you have nothing to do and call me to play, right? Martial arts are amazing!
Zhao Zheng wanted to explain to him the origin of the Ruthless Sword, but after thinking about it, there was nothing worth saying.
ββββββββββββ
The living person has feelings, and the dead have no feelings, and the sword is also emotionless, so that the sentient person becomes ruthless, this is the mission of the sword in his hand.
