Chapter 28: The Art of Sword Forging
In the Cangzhou City Lord's Mansion, Mu Qing smiled and waved his hand again and again, he knew about this matter, and he would definitely not detain people, Zhao Bai'er was too worried this time.
Ji Beichen had long been accustomed to laughing at Zhao Bai'er, got up and arched his hand, with a smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Congratulations to Brother Zhao for breaking through the exorcism period!" ”
As soon as Zhao Bai'er entered the door, Ji Beichen saw that he had broken through the Great Perfection of Foundation Building and officially entered the exorcism period, and he was really happy for him.
The exorcism period, as the name suggests, is to use the mind to drive and master various items, and it can also urge magic weapons, and the most commonly used is to control the flying sword and travel in the sky. The exorcism period is invincible in the mortal world, but it belongs to the third lowest realm in the cultivation realm.
The repellent period is one to nine times, to nine major consummations, and the breakthrough time varies from person to person. Those who are amazing and brilliant can break through the foundation in five years, and the normal authentic foundation building monks are generally more than twenty-five years, but more humane foundation building monks will not be able to break through the foundation building nine layers in their lifetime, and they will not be able to cultivate into the golden pill.
Abandoning the normal way of cultivating immortals, there is another way to quickly become a Jindan monk: plundering the Jindan and cultivation of other monks. The Huan Annihilation Sect, which is entrenched in Youzhou, relies on this kind of exercise to strengthen the sect, which is contrary to morality and is disgraced by other demon sects and immortal sects.
"Ah Chen is polite! You are a guest of my Zhao family, or come back to the ancestral house of the Zhao family with me, how can you live in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time? Zhao Bai'er was about to grab people again, and he grabbed Ji Beichen's wrist and was about to go out.
"I also have a room specially reserved for you in my house, it's no worse than this one, and Ling'er misses you too!" Zhao Baier's posture of wanting to grab people with Mu Qing made Mu Qing anxious.
"Bo'er is pitiful...... You lonely brother, ahem! Mu Qing saw Zhao Bai'er robbing Ji Beichen with him, and knew in his heart that Zhao Bai'er loved to play, but he was still excited between his words, and couldn't help coughing a few times.
Zhao Baier hurriedly let go of his hand when he saw this, he was happy for a while today, and the joke was too much, it was indeed his no.
"Brother Mu is fine, I won't leave, you can rest assured to lie down on the bed!" Ji Beichen saw that Mu Qing was unwell, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Mu Qing to lie down on the bed.
Zhao Bai'er poured a glass of water and handed it over, Ji Beichen took it, he knew that Zhao Bai'er was unintentional, but he still had to say: "Bai'er, don't fight, I will take the time to see Ling'er." I didn't go anywhere in Cangzhou City, so I stayed in the City Lord's Mansion. ”
"I ......" Zhao Baier was choked by Ji Beichen enough, he didn't squeeze Ji Beichen when he was a child, and now he is also a newspaper in the world.
Ji Beichen saw that his face sank, thinking that he was worried about the sword, and hurriedly relieved: "Brother Zhao's sword doesn't have to worry, I'll go to Sanssouci Town with you." ”
Ji Beichen was actually ready to forge a sword for Zhao Bai'er a long time ago, and looking at the entire Cangzhou, Sanssouci Town was an excellent place to forge a sword.
The way to forge a sword lies in the use of the aura between heaven and earth, and the aura of Sanssouci Town outside Cangzhou City is a good place to cast a sword. Moreover, there is a dragon vein hot spring there, Ji Beichen has just built the foundation, and he also needs to go to a place with abundant spiritual energy to absorb the qi of heaven and earth.
In Ji Beichen's heart, he has resonated with swords since he was a child. Whether it is the interpretation of the sword style, or the unique understanding of the sword intent, and then the perception of the spirit sword treasure, he is more sensitive than ordinary people.
And his familiarity with the sword forging technique is even more jaw-dropping, as if he was born with it, and even the extremely complex dragon vein sword forging Dafa, he can also learn it without a teacher.
Therefore, when Zhao Bai'er was angry that day when he cut off his sword, Ji Beichen agreed without thinking about it and cast another natal sword for him, because this matter was not difficult for him!
——
On the country road leading to Sanssouci Town, two figures, one white and one black, sat casually on horses. Ji Beichen and Zhao Baier said goodbye to Mu Qing early in the morning, left Cangzhou City, and went to Wussouci Town outside Cangzhou City.
There was no obstacle along the way, Ji Beichen saw that the horses were a little tired, so he slowly got off the horse, found a waterside and planned to rest, just to tell Zhao Baier about this "sword casting method......
Ji Beichen bolted the horse, Zhao Baier handed over the water bag and vegetarian cake, and said loudly: "The two of us have come this way, it is really smooth, it is rare to be so comfortable!" ”
Zhao Baier's unintentional words also expressed the doubts in Ji Beichen's heart along the way. It stands to reason that the people of the Demon Dao will not let him go easily, otherwise Lin Yuanfeng and Lu Aotian would not have forced him to ask him about the "Demon Sect Holy Relic" that day, could it be that she was secretly protecting him again?
Zhao Bai'er saw that the food in Ji Beichen's hand did not move, and asked, "Isn't this vegetarian cake to Ah Chen's appetite?" ”
Ji Beichen hurriedly came back to his senses, took a bite of the vegetarian cake and replied, "No, does Brother Zhao know anything about the art of sword casting?" ”
Zhao Bai'er arched his hand slightly, and said with a little shame: "I didn't dabble in it, Ah Chen, please speak!" ”
Ji Beichen didn't squirm and prevaricate, and immediately said seriously: "There are two kinds of sword casting Dafa. One is the treasure forged sword, which is the most common.
It was forged from spirit stones and black iron through a furnace fire, and it was this kind of sword that was most used by monks, and this kind of sword could be obtained by spending money.
The grades are divided according to the craftsmanship of the swordsmith and the different grades of spirit stones and dark iron used. ”
The ancient book that records the Dafa of sword casting was discovered by Ji Beichen in a dark room in the Cangxu Sect's library pavilion. The Master told him that many of the ancient sword-forging techniques had been lost!
Zhao Bai'er was interested when he heard this, and said with great interest: "Yes, this kind of sword is more common in the mortal world, and monks in the condensation period can use it, even Ling'er's girl can use it!" However, there are still very few first-class swords, and the entire mortal world is sold in Cangzhou City's Sanssouci Town! ”
Zhao Bai'er is not very clear about the way of sword casting, but weapons are often purchased in the military camp, and he has more contact with the first kind of sword mentioned by Ji Beichen on weekdays.
Ji Beichen nodded slightly and didn't say much, he scoffed at the first method of forging a sword. In his opinion, that kind of sword is the product of financial interests, and it is not worthy of being called a monk's sword, and he will not forge that kind of sword for Zhao Bai'er.
"The other is the Spirit Qi Casting Sword, which is forged with spirit stones and dark iron, and infused with the energy of the dragon veins! What I am going to forge for Brother Zhao is this sword of aura, what do you think? Ji Beichen looked at Zhao Bai'er and wanted to hear his thoughts.
Zhao Bai'er grinned, scratched his head and said, "What's so special about this aura forging sword?" ”
He didn't know much about this sword-forging technique, and he didn't have any opinions to give, but he was more curious about this aura sword-casting. He just heard his master mention this matter, and there are many people who have spirit swords in the Forget Worries and Infinite Concept, and when he heard that Ji Beichen was going to forge a spirit sword for himself, he suddenly became curious.
Ji Beichen took a sip of water and continued: "Spiritual Qi Casting Sword, as the name suggests, is more spiritual energy than a treasure weapon that can communicate with the master. The spirit sword can sense the dangerous emotions of the master, but if you want the spirit sword to exert its maximum power, you still need to condense the golden pill to achieve the realm of human and sword unity. ”
This is not the first time Ji Beichen has forged the sword of spiritual energy, he has cast two spiritual swords for his junior sister Lu Xinrui in the Cangxu Sect before, and Yan Nianxin, the righteous son of his close friend Yan Mingxiu.
When I thought of his year-old friend Yan Mingxiu, I couldn't hide the smile on the corner of my mouth, if I knew his experience these days, I would definitely laugh at him for not understanding human feelings and doing things stupidly.
After the trimming was completed, the two set off again, Zhao Bai'er was happy and excited in his heart, and as soon as he got on the horse, he poured out his strength, leaving Ji Beichen far behind. Ji Beichen had something in his heart, so he only followed slowly and did not chase it.
Zhao Baier rode his horse all the way, and the restless heart slowly calmed down, but he didn't see Ji Beichen's figure when he came back to his senses, so he slowly got off the horse and waited. When Ji Beichen arrived, he was no longer in a hurry to move forward, and walked side by side with him.
Zhao Bai'er glanced at the long sword on Ji Beichen's back, and said curiously: "Is Ah Chen's sword a spirit sword?" ”
When he and Ji Beichen fought before, he had seen the sword unsheathed, and the sword aura was compelling, like a sense of oppression like an illusion.
"The Cangxu Sword is not a spirit sword, it is a naturally formed immortal weapon." Ji Beichen smiled, his Cangxu Sword was indeed powerful, and the immortal weapon with its own sword intent was quite characterful.
"Immortal weapon? Isn't that the heritage of the Cangru faction! When Zhao Bai'er heard that Ji Beichen's saber turned out to be an immortal weapon, he cried out in surprise, and suddenly realized that he was making a fuss, and then pouted his lips boringly and said nothing more.
Previously, Zhao Baier felt Yan Yuezong's exercises from Ji Beichen's true qi, thinking that Ji Beichen had studied under Yan Wugui and was accepted by Yan Yuezong. Later, his father Zhao Xiang told him what happened to Ji Beichen in the Cangxu faction, and he knew that Ji Beichen had also suffered a lot. Today, I learned that Ji Beichen's seemingly ordinary saber turned out to be the heritage of the Cangxu faction, and he only felt that he was a frog at the bottom of the well, a defeated peacock!
"Shame!" And at this moment, Ji Beichen's heart is not very comfortable, and the Cangru Sword, which is supreme glory in the eyes of others, is somewhat heavy for him. Now that he knew that he had changed the practice of another sect, he was even more deeply ashamed, and he had no shame to face the master of the sect.
Cangxu Sword felt the change in the mood of its master Ji Beichen, no longer concealed the sword, and flew away from the scabbard. Ji Beichen silently held the hilt of the sword, remembering what the master of the sect had said that the sword intent of the Cangxu Sword was unwilling to give in, refused to be cowardly, and never gave in!
Over the years, he has practiced sword enlightenment in the Cangxu School, practiced exercises, purified his heart all day long, and realized the sword heart avenue: only sword, only heart, only me!
Thinking about it carefully, his heart died and fell off the cliff that day, and the damage to the sword heart was not caused by external injuries, but his questioning of the right path of the sword heart at that time!
As for the Cangxu Sword, he does not dislike him, a waste man who has yielded, cowardly, and retreated, and has always been with him, even if he cultivates another practice, he will not give up.
"How can you be as stupid as me...... Ji Beichen was casual in nature, he had not used the blood refining method on the Cangru Sword before, forcing it to follow it for the rest of his life. Now that I think about it, this spirit sword is more affectionate and righteous than him, and I only feel that I have a loss to it in my heart!
Ji Beichen didn't know at this time that there was a third way to forge a sword, which was to forge a real invisible sword.
This sword is called the Guiyuan Sword, also known as the Shenlong Sword or the Dragon Yin Sword, which is cast from the dantian. In the process of forging the sword, the caster needs to feel the breath of all things, constantly enlighten the Tao, and extract the essence of the dragon vein in all the places of the dragon vein, gather the essence into the dantian, and then cast the sword with the sword heart of the Great Dao.
After the Guiyuan sword is refined, the caster can turn it into a sword, gather it into a sword, disperse it into qi, and turn it into a dragon, with endless changes.
And it can be as big as heaven and earth, and as small as dust, and can penetrate countless time and space, slash the gods of the nine heavens up, and eliminate hell and ghosts.
Ji Beichen will transform the Cangxu Sword into qi in the future, and cast the sword with his Great Dao Sword Heart, which will finally defeat the bloodthirsty ancient artifact Dragon Slaying Sword, which is a later story!
