Chapter 44: The Art of Sword Forging
"Dual-attribute sword qi, it's really good!" Cangxu Sword Li Kuisheng still knew him, and he heard his old friend Ji Yijun mention it.
Back then, the two studied the sword forging avenue together, and Ji Yijun once said that an old friend of his had an immortal weapon in his hand, called "Canglan Sword".
Ji Yijun is fond of swords, and he has asked his old friend for it many times, but the old friend is too stingy and refuses his request every time, Ji Yijun also said to him deliciously that he is not uncommon! Now that this Canglan Sword appeared in front of his eyes, Li Kuisheng looked at the Canglan Sword with emotion, but sighed that his old friend Ji Yijun couldn't see it.
Li Kuisheng didn't know that the young man in front of him was Ji Yijun's child "Ah Chen". Although Ji Yijun did not see the Canglan Sword, Ji Yijun's old friend Xuhai not only took in Ji Yijun's son, but also passed the Canglan Sword to his son Ji Beichen.
And Yan Yueli's Canglan Sword also has some relationship with the Cangru Sword, and in the dark, fate has long been doomed!
Li Kuisheng thought for a moment, made up his mind in his heart, and arched his hand towards Ji Beichen: "Young Master Chen, contemptible and talented, I want to learn the art of sword casting with Gongzi, and cast a spirit sword for General Zhao together!" ”
When Ji Beichen heard this, he immediately smiled: "Master Li Zhuang is polite, it is an honor to be able to cast a sword with Master Li Zhuang!" ”
At the same time, Ji Beichen, under the leadership of Li Kuisheng, went to the library to check the ancient books of casting and discuss the road of sword casting. Most of the ancient books in the library pavilion were written to Li Kuisheng by Ji Yijun from memory, and there were also some casting collections handed down from Sanssouci Town, and Li Kuisheng collected them.
"Master Li Zhuang is really a treasure trove here, this dragon vein sword forging method is recorded in such detail!" Ji Beichen entered it, looked at the dazzling array of books and scrolls, and felt that the ancient books here were no worse than the Cangxu Sect's Scripture Pavilion, and the record of dragon vein sword casting here was even more detailed than the one seen in the Cangxu Sect!
"In what book have you seen this method?" Li Kuisheng was surprised to see that Chen Gongzi could understand the dragon vein sword forging technique, this method was handwritten to him by Ji Yijun, and there was no ancient book record.
"In the Cangxu Sect's Scripture Pavilion, there are records in the ancient scrolls!" Ji Beichen has no intention of hiding, the Cangxu Sword is the foundation of the Cangxu Sect, and everyone in the cultivation world knows it. Since he has the Cangxu Sword, he is naturally a disciple of the Cangxu Sect, so it is better to leave his worries and face it calmly.
Li Kuisheng nodded, he naturally knew this, and said that the disciples of the Cangxu Sect acted frankly, and they really lived up to their reputation.
Moreover, the Mu family in Cangzhou City often has contacts with the Cangxu faction, and since Chen Gongzi is Mu Qing's righteous son and has become an inner disciple of the Cangxu faction, it is not surprising that he inherited the Cangxu sword.
"The manuscript of my dragon vein sword-forging technique was written to me by my old friend before his death, and originally this technique could only be passed down orally, and could not leave traces. Unfortunately, I was really stupid, so my friend put it on the paper, and made annotations for me in the shy and difficult places, but ......"
Li Kuisheng said that he blamed himself for his low understanding, so his friend taught him the dragon vein sword forging technique, and he only understood three points in ten points. But with only three points of comprehension ability, the spirit sword forged is also the best of the best.
"Master Li Zhuang is too modest, the dragon vein forging sword is originally a casting method used by ancient monks to cast their own natal magic weapons. This method is used by monks in the exorcism period, and the flesh of Lord Li Zhuang has comprehended it so far, and it is already a gift. ”
Ji Beichen felt that Li Kuisheng was too harsh on him. This sword-casting technique was originally a monk who mobilized the true qi in his body, and then fused the qi of the dragon veins and injected it into a magic weapon made of dark iron before it could be cast into a spirit sword.
And although Master Li Zhuang has superb casting skills, he is only a boxer who refines the body, and there is no trace of true qi in his body, and it is really rare to be able to cast a spirit sword.
Since both of them used the dragon vein sword-casting technique to forge swords, they no longer looked at other sword-casting methods, and devoted themselves to studying this method together. After some discussion, Li Kuisheng was amazed by Chen Gongzi's extraordinary sword-casting skills and his unique understanding of kendo.
Li Kuisheng understood at this time that the immortal weapon of the Cangxu Sword, which recognized the master, was actually followed by a monk who only had a foundation building period, and he must have been attracted by his Sword Heart Dao.
Ji Beichen remembered that Li Kuisheng said that he would cast a spirit sword every year and would not make more, so he had doubts in his heart, so he asked at this time: "I heard that Master Li Zhuang only casts one spirit sword every year, is there anything special about it?" ”
Li Kuisheng saw that Gongzi Chen asked about this, and smiled: "It's not exquisite, it's a rule set by an old friend." ”
"Oh, why is that?" Ji Beichen didn't expect that Li Kuisheng would listen to this old friend's words so much, even if that person has been gone for many years, the influence on Li Kuisheng's father and daughter has not diminished at all.
Li Kuisheng saw that Ji Beichen was curious about this, so he said: "My old friend said, 'The spirit sword is easy to obtain, but the virtuous person is hard to find'. No matter how much the spirit sword is made, it is useless, and if it is taken away by the immoral, it will bring a lot of strife, so only one sword is made every year. Although there are not many, when choosing a master every year, it is also a person with noble virtue. ”
Li Kuisheng said this, shook his head and continued: "Spirit Sword Election Lord, this is a good thing, but I don't want the world to be bad in the past few years, and it will cause a lot of trouble to Sanssouci Town. Especially since Kong Xianling took office, he has colluded with the ministers and the Demon Sect to oppress the people, and many old shops are facing closure, and some have even wasted the efforts of several generations. ”
When Ji Beichen heard Li Kuisheng's words, he remembered that the shopkeeper he met in that small shop when he just came to Sanssouci Town, and many people were rumored that Kong County Ling had colluded with the demon girl of Yan Yue Sect, so he asked carefully: "Has anyone seen the demon girl of Yan Yue Sect that everyone is talking about?" ”
Li Kuisheng shook his head, everything was just a rumor, and the people were just crowds, so he said: "No one has seen it with their own eyes, it's just that Sanssouci Town has not been very peaceful recently, and many passing monks have disappeared, and rumors have spread for a while, and no one knows who did it." ”
Ji Beichen's heart sank, it must be the rumors released by Bai Shuxiang of Chenghuan Sect, confusing right and wrong to hide himself!
Yan Yueli has always disdained to clarify this kind of thing, but at this time, he can't tolerate his Li'er being wronged, so he asked Li Kuisheng and said: "Master Li, I guarantee with my life, this matter is not Yan Yuezong's doing!" I came to Sanssouci Town with General Zhao, in addition to casting the spirit sword, just to find out about this matter, and I also hope that Master Li Zhuang will help me restore Yan Yueli's reputation! ”
Li Kuisheng saw that Chen Gongzi mentioned that "Yan Yuezong" suddenly became serious, and he had to guarantee his life, so he knew that this Yan Yueli had a lot of weight in his heart, and hurriedly agreed: "This is easy to say, I will repair a book in a while, and the rumors in the town will soon stop, and there will be no more vicious slander, Chen Gongzi's sweetheart." ”
As soon as these words came out, Ji Beichen blushed, he was too excited just now, even the owner of Li Zhuang saw the clue, and waved his hand again and again: "Master Li Zhuang don't want to say this, I just ......"
Li Kuisheng smiled and said, "Chen Gongzi is suave and talented, why do you need to be so twisted!" You look like this, just like my old friend, you obviously like it tightly, but you don't admit it......"
Speaking of this, Li Kuisheng thought of Li Qi'er, the corners of his mouth twitched upward, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back. Sure enough, when I persuaded others, I understood that it was my turn, but I couldn't see it clearly and couldn't figure it out!
Then the two discussed together the selection and matching methods of some dark iron and spirit stones, and talked so freely, before they knew it, it was getting late. The servant of the village came to urge Li Kuisheng to have dinner, Li Kuisheng remembered what Chen Gongzi promised him before, so he said: "Chen Gongzi promised to stay in the village for a few days before, and the guest rooms have been cleaned up, don't shirk it!" ”
Ji Beichen knew that the owner of Li Zhuang was hospitable, so he agreed: "This is natural, there is a lot of trouble." ”
The two moved to the dining room, but Zhao Baier was nowhere to be seen. Ji Beichen was wondering where Zhao Bai'er had gone, only to hear Zhao Bai'er's scream from the backyard garden: "Help!" Killed! ”
Ji Beichen and Li Kuisheng heard the shouts and hurried to the backyard.
When the two arrived, they saw that in the open space in the backyard, Li Qier pointed his sword at Zhao Baier, who collapsed on the ground. Zhao Bai'er, who fell to the ground, was quite embarrassed, and when she saw Ji Beichen coming, she hurriedly got up, hid behind Ji Beichen, pointed at Li Qi'er and said, "She, she bullies people!" ”
Ji Beichen couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhao Bai'er's embarrassed appearance: "You, a monk in the exorcism period, can't beat Qi'er?" ”
Zhao Bai'er said aggrievedly: "It's me who underestimated the enemy, who knew that her swordsmanship was so exquisite!" It's just that...... It's a good talk, she seems to have an enmity with me, and she chases me relentlessly! ”
When Li Qi'er heard Zhao Bai'er's words, her face changed slightly, and she argued: "You are talking nonsense! You ......"
Li Kuisheng saw that Zhao Bai'er was frightened, for fear that he would punish Li Qi'er, so he hurriedly scolded: "Qi'er, don't be rude, how can you do it with General Zhao!" ”
Li Qi'er saw that Li Kuisheng hadn't asked the reason clearly, and blamed her as soon as they met, and she was very aggrieved in her heart. She looked at Li Kuisheng and wanted to defend herself, but she only opened her mouth and didn't say anything. Li Qi'er lowered her head and put away her sword, and silently returned to the room.
Ji Beichen had listened to the conversation between the two before and knew the relationship between the two. At this time, seeing Li Kuisheng's attitude towards Li Qi'er, as well as Li Qi'er's silent appearance, I knew that there must be some misunderstanding between the two. Then he said to Li Kuisheng: "Master Li Zhuang should go and see Qi'er, I can have dinner with General Zhao, and you and I will continue to discuss tomorrow." ”
Li Kuisheng knew Ji Beichen's kindness, so he asked the housekeeper to entertain the two. I personally prepared some of her favorite meals for Li Qi'er, and prepared to go to her room to find her.
Li Kuisheng stood in front of Li Qi'er's door, he thought about what to say, should he apologize first or coax her first? During the day, Li Qier said that she was leaving, although she didn't know whether it was true or not, it was better for him to stay.
After making up his mind, Li Kuisheng knocked on Li Qi'er's door and said softly, "Qi'er, it's time for dinner." I knew you were in a bad mood, so I brought it to you personally, and you opened the door! ”
Li Kuisheng waited outside the house for a long time, and the room was silent. Li Kuisheng didn't know the situation in the house, and anxiously pushed open the door.
Li Kuisheng pushed the door into the room, the room was empty, and there was an unfinished letter on the table in the outer hall, which read: Brother Kuisheng, I'm leaving. Tomorrow......
