Ji Beichen felt the Lingze Immortal Qi floating down from the Nine Tribulations Mountain at the bottom of the pool, and his body was immediately filled with spiritual power, and the dantian automatically absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He also wanted to continue to explore deeply, but he had no choice but to return the same way, secretly noted down the general direction, and quickly got out of the mountain stream.

Ji Beichen continued to walk towards the depths of the dense forest, and after walking for less than an hour, his vision gradually widened, and the trees became sparse, and Ji Beichen saw the gate of Juhe Jianzhuang from a distance.

In front of the gate of the sword village stands an eight-foot-high stone sword, the stone sword is uncarved, and the naturally formed sword body is black and shiny. The plaque in front of the Zhuangzi door is written with four big characters "Juhe Jianzhuang", the words on the plaque do not know who mentioned it, the penmanship is vigorous and powerful, and the words of Mu Qing are somewhat similar.

Ji Beichen stepped forward and knocked on the vermilion gate of Jianzhuang, and a doorman answered the door. Juhe Jianzhuang generally does not accept outsiders, and the shopkeeper knew that they were going to Juhe Jianzhuang, so he wrote a letter of worship to Ji Beichen.

Ji Beichen handed a greeting note to the doorman who opened the door, the doorman nodded and took it and ran in, and he waited outside the door.

After a while, the door of Jianzhuang "creaked" open, and a tall girl with fair skin walked out of it.

The girl was as tall as Ji Beichen, with outstanding facial features, and she glanced at Ji Beichen with a cold expression, and said coldly: "Come with me." ”

Ji Beichen didn't ask much, knowing that it was the worship post that played a role, so he followed the girl's footsteps and entered Juhe Jianzhuang.

The interior layout of the sword village is simple and elegant, not luxurious but chic, Ji Beichen likes this feng shui layout very much, so he looks at it very carefully.

He was looking at a strange stone at the corner of the courtyard with great interest, and felt that this arrangement was arranged according to the five elements of gossip, and he felt that the design was exquisite. But he didn't want to hear the cold voice of the girl in front of him, and said with a slight mockery: "Don't look any more, you can't find the Hidden Sword Pavilion!" ”

Ji Beichen knew that it was rude to look at other people's private houses at will, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's abrupt." ”

Ji Beichen and the girl entered the door, both of them did not speak quietly, he knew that he was rude first, so he wanted to see a few words at will, so as to familiarize himself with the situation in Jianzhuang.

However, before Ji Beichen could speak, a scolding came from the inner courtyard: "Qi'er, don't be unreasonable!" ”

When the sound came, I saw a man in black walking out of the inner courtyard, with dark skin and a strong body, and he seemed to be a practitioner of foreign kung fu.

At the age of about forty, the big fist at the mouth of the bowl tightened and arched his hand towards Ji Beichen: "Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry!" I am the owner of Li Zhuang in Juhe Sword Village, and my little girl was offended just now, I hope you will forgive me! Li Qi'er, don't come to apologize! ”

As soon as Ji Beichen saw that it was the owner of Juhe Sword Village, he could only take back the question on his lips and replaced it with a polite greeting: "Where, I am offended, but the layout in this village is really exquisite, so I can't help but delve into it, which made Miss Qi'er misunderstand." ”

When Li Qi'er heard Ji Beichen's words, her face changed abruptly, and a soft smile appeared on her cold face.

The cold face suddenly turned into a peach blossom, and Li Qi'er's sudden change made Ji Beichen stunned in place.

Li Qi'er didn't pay attention to Ji Beichen's changes, and ignored the scolding of the man in black, pulled Ji Beichen's sleeve and said, "Do you know Qimen Dunjia, the gossip of the five elements?" That's right, you're a Taoist, so you should know something! ”

Seeing that Li Qi'er was so rude, the man in black roared angrily: "Qi'er, go down!" ”

Ji Beichen didn't know why Master Li Zhuang was so strict with the girl, and was about to say something, but Li Qi'er instantly recovered her cold face, didn't look at the two of them, turned her head and went back to the backyard.

There is a way that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and there is a small conflict between father and daughter, and he can't be persuaded by an outsider.

Ji Beichen was thinking about how to open his mouth to break this embarrassing situation, but Master Li Zhuang opened his mouth first: "Daoyou came this time, but to get the spirit sword?" ”

As soon as Ji Beichen heard this, he knew that Master Li Zhuang was a cheerful person, and he was no longer polite, and directly expressed his intention: "Master Li Zhuang asked like this, and the poor road said it directly!" Poor Dao did admire Master Li's sword-forging skills, but he had no intention of seeking a spirit sword. ”

"Oh? Why did you come this time? When Master Li heard Ji Beichen's answer, he was quite surprised.

At this time of year, there is no one who comes to the village who is not for the sake of obtaining the spirit sword, he has not seen guests before the spirit sword appears, but Ji Beichen is holding an old customer's greetings, and he is open to entertain guests.

"It's a shame to say that Poor Dao is also a swordsmith, but his skills are not perfect, and he travels all over the world just to learn the way of sword casting. I have always heard that Master Li's spirit sword is quite famous in the cultivation world, and I came here today to discuss this sword-casting technique with Master Li Zhuang, and I hope that Master Li Zhuang will not hesitate to teach! ”

Ji Beichen's move was not to boast, he felt that there were no shackles in the method of sword casting, and only by learning from each other could he achieve the avenue, so he claimed to be a sword forger.

Master Li replied with a little embarrassment: "This ...... Although the art of forging swords lies in continuous improvement, the art of forging swords in Zhuang Shang has been passed down by an old friend of mine, and now this old friend has gone to ......."

Master Li Zhuang paused when he said this, and then said: "I once made a vow that the sword-forging technique passed down by my old friend will never be passed on, so I have not accepted apprentices so far, and I have never asked anyone to teach the sword-forging technique!" ”

When Master Li heard Ji Beichen's words, his face was sad, he was also a swordsmith, how could he not want to carry forward the sword-casting technique, but he did have something unspeakable.

Ji Beichen hurriedly apologized and said: "Poor Dao understands Master Li's difficulties, and forgive me for being abrupt. ”

Ji Beichen originally thought that Juhe Jianzhuang's sword-casting technique was passed down by his ancestors, but he didn't expect that Master Li Zhuang would have this story, and he felt that the conditions he proposed were indeed embarrassing, and he hurriedly apologized.

Seeing that Ji Beichen was so polite, Master Li Zhuang was embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not strange if you don't know, since Daoyou is a swordsmith, everyone is a leader in the industry." Although I can't learn the art of sword forging with you, if there is anything in the sword forging that requires me to gather and sword village, just mention it! ”

Ji Beichen bowed his head slightly, clenched his fists and thanked him: "Then the poor road will thank Master Li Zhuang first!" ”

"You're welcome!" Master Li had never seen such a young and polite junior. Thinking that his daughter was a few years older than this little Taoist priest, but she didn't know how to be polite at all, she was really helpless.

Ji Beichen saw that the matter of asking for the casting technique of the spirit sword had failed, so he retreated and begged for the next time: "I can't hide it, Poor Dao came to Sanssouci Town this time to promise a little friend, he recently broke through to the exorcism period, and promised him a spirit sword, but it was just ......"

When Master Li heard that Ji Beichen was planning to forge a spirit sword, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Spirit sword? I don't know if it's the first time you've forged a spirit sword? ”

Master Li Zhuang had already snickered in his heart, he looked at the little Taoist priest in front of him whose hair had not yet grown, and felt that he had not yet forged a few swords, and he still wanted to cast a spirit sword, which was ridiculous!

Ji Beichen didn't know what Master Li Zhuang was thinking, let alone his ridicule of himself, so he only replied truthfully: "It's not the first time, I have cast two spirit swords before, but the attribute spirit stones and dark iron needed for sword casting this time have not been found for the time being, and this is also what I have asked Master Li to do." ”

Master Li did suspect Ji Beichen's methods just now, but after listening to Ji Beichen's words, he felt that he didn't look like a liar.

This aroused his curiosity, and he smiled heartily at the moment: "Haha, I see that Daoyou is not very old, but he has such a ability, but I am very curious about Daoyou's sword-forging skills!" In this way, the mountain behind Zhuangzi is a quarry, you go with me, and take whatever you like! ”

"Then thank you Master Li!" Ji Beichen saw that Master Li Zhuang agreed to his request so happily, his heart moved, and a smile stretched on his face, only to feel that this trip was really not in vain.

Master Li Zhuang saw the little Taoist's white face, his eyebrows and eyes stretched out with the smile, and he was only a little shaken for a moment, why is this smile so familiar!

The swords of Juhe Sword Village are not prolific, only less than ten are produced every year, except for the spirit sword that is cast by the owner of Li Zhuang himself, the rest are all made by the sword caster of Zhuang, but they are also the best swords. However, the ability to create the best saber is not because the swordsmith is skillful, but because the spirit stones and dark iron produced by this Juhe Sword Village are superb.

The back mountain of Juhe Sword Village is the remnant vein of Nine Tribulation Mountain, and the aura is contaminated, coupled with the dragon vein hot spring in the underground, it is difficult to forge a good sword. Ji Beichen knew about this very well, because the two swords that he had forged for Lu Xinrui and Yan Nianxin in the Cangxu Sect before were forged by him with the dragon vein qi of the Nine Tribulations Mountain.

At this time, Ji Beichen stood on the top of the mountain behind Juhe Jianzhuang, and recalled that the three of them had been to the vicinity of this back mountain together in order to find the spirit stone and dark iron materials for casting the sword.

Ji Beichen looked at the distance of the back mountain, the Nine Tribulations Mountain hidden in the depths of the white clouds, and he was stunned in his heart, and he thought in his heart: I don't know what happened to Senior Sister Rui'er and Senior Brother Yan......

Thinking of Brother Yan who I saw in the wine shop before, I felt a little relieved. The time was in a hurry that day, and the two did not talk in detail.

But Ji Beichen learned from Yan Mingxiu's words that Uncle Lu chose to believe him and still recognized him as a disciple of the Cangxu faction.

I think that he knew that there was another secret in the matter of Lin Yuanfeng that day, but Lu Aotian had to find a way to explain to them about the matter of Lu Aotian's defection to the Huan Annihilation Sect.

It was rare for Master Li to meet someone who shared his interests, and knew that Ji Beichen was not an ordinary swordsmith. Li Zhuang did not directly take Ji Beichen to select the ore that had been out of the pit, but took him to the Houshan Xuaniron vein to visit.

Seeing Ji Beichen overlooking the immortal mountain surrounded by white clouds, Master Li Zhuang knew that he must have seen something, so he asked loudly: "What do you think of this back mountain?" ”

When Ji Beichen heard Master Li's question, he quickly retracted his thoughts, turned his face and replied: "The land of the dragon vein is indeed extraordinary!" ”

When Master Li heard Ji Beichen's answer, a smile of approval appeared on his face. Master Li Zhuang's heart was excited at this time, his feet jumped, and he couldn't wait to take Ji Beichen down to the Xuaniron Mine Cave.

Ji Beichen looked up at the mine that could not be seen to the end, and the mine was very deep in the back mountain. The inside of the pit is a relatively strong and safe room-and-pillar method, and the mine is supported by wooden pillars around the mine.

Ji Beichen saw that the mining in this pit was very particular, although it was mining ore in the mountains, it did not hurt the dragon veins here, but he felt that there must be an insider who knew feng shui.

Li Zhuang took Ji Beichen to visit the quarry, and after this visit, Ji Beichen saw that Li Zhuang was not a mercenary businessman. Whether it is from prospecting, mining, or ore processing and sales, Li Zhuang is cautious everywhere and never violates his conscience.

This short time of getting along made Ji Beichen slowly begin to admire the burly but kind-hearted man in front of him......
