Chapter 43 Who remembers the original intention
"Smelting weapons is not the supreme job in the first place. ”
The flower field on top of the black rock cliff.
Lin Yi crossed his arms and said solemnly: "If you really don't want to smelt, I won't force you, I will always find a way to refine this weapon." It's also good for you to travel all over the world, plant flowers and paint, and make friends with beauties. ”
Jin Chenzhi was slightly surprised, and then responded with a vigilant face: "But?"
"But," Lin Yi put his hand behind his back, pulled out the iron rod from his backpack, and stuck it in the flower field in front of him, "You obviously still like refining soldiers the most, right?"
Jin Chenzhi stared at the unsightly iron rod in disbelief, and his face gradually turned pale.
Some long-ago memories seemed to awaken in his young eyes covered with heavy dust.
"You guy......" he turned and frowned, "How did you get this sword?
Lin Yi Zhengse said: "Your grandfather, Jin Xuanjue's senior, before he was martyred, he gave a letter to the Tang Sect. ”
How can he not lie in this profession? He is also desperate.
"He explained a lot of things, including his concerns about you. He said that if one day you encounter an unimaginable obstacle, I hope you can complete this sword key. ”
"The name...... Obviously no one else knows...... Grandpa really left a letter?Why did you send it to the Tang Mansion?" Jin Chenzhi was puzzled, and suddenly his eyes flashed: "Wait, so Miss Tang sent you here?" Miss Tang obviously has never met me, but she is willing to help me, who is already very beautiful, and she actually has a heart that does not lose this beauty......
This idiot...... Lin Yi scolded speechlessly in his heart, and had no choice but to continue: "Therefore, whether it is Jin Xuanjue's senior or the third lady, they are all looking forward to you completing this sword, if you still don't want to smelt after you finish it, it's not too late to quit." ”
"I am very grateful for Miss Xuehui's kindness. And grandpa," Jin Chenzhi turned his head and sighed, "He's been wrong all along. ”
"What?"
"When I was thirteen years old, my mother was seriously ill. Jin Chenzhi sat down again, at the end of the mountain clouds, and said with Xiao Suo in his eyes: "According to Lang Zhong, her illness comes from sucking too much iron-smelting dust. She was born with a lack of veins, unable to quench her body and open her veins to ward off these toxins like we do. ”
"During that time, there was a major event, which was much more important than the Sword Meeting. That can also be called the sword meeting of the entire Great Xia Dynasty. ”
"That is the most authoritative conference organized by the Dragon Diagram Pavilion and participated by many refiners to judge refiners: the Heavenly Crafts Conference. The level of the new weapon will be decided at the conference, and the position of the refiner will also be decided, which is more important than my life for my family. ”
At that time, the main participant was my father, who was not yet prestigious, and after my grandfather's death, the Jin family urgently needed a pillar. At the same time, several of our sisters and brothers also participated in the competition of the junior group. ”
"And the method of the competition is to let people take our weapons and kill. The demon beasts in the swamp of the colorful forest, the sub-demons under the karst rocks, and even the mountain bandits and horse thieves, in short, are just killing, killing. "After my grandfather died, I was already a little disgusted with refining weapons. I wanted to spend more time with my mother, but she didn't want me to delay my performance at the Tiangong Conference. I want to heal her, I want her to recover, but all I can do is practice soldiers. I still build the weapon, maintain the knife I made, wash my blood, sharpen the blade, and communicate with its owner how to kill. ”
"What my father couldn't find, what countless doctors didn't solve, I couldn't solve after all. My mother is still dead. When I saw her eyes closed, I finally felt something shatter. ”
"What is the way of martyrdom? Grandpa, he was wrong, he didn't solve his doubts at all, but he hoped that seeking death would break through the fog. Father he was wrong, he wanted to take his mother away from here and away from the world of refining weapons early in the morning, but he was timid to lose his desire to seek the Tao and become a mediocre in the mud. ”
"I withdrew from the Heavenly Crafts Conference. There, my father gained fame, my sister and they all gained praise, and I stopped picking up the hammer. Why to live, why to die, the Daigo that I have been searching for, the light that covers my eyes for a lifetime, the nirvana of my soul, that's not what I want. ”
"So, you can see why I don't practice anymore. ”
It was quiet for a long time, the cold wind swept over the cliffs, and the delicate and stubborn mountain flowers made a slight whistling sound.
Lin Yi closed his eyes, slowly feeling what Jin Chenzhi said, and then finally smiled: "Actually, you have already given the answer, haven't you?"
"What?"
"You said, Jin Xuanjue's predecessor is wrong, and the owner of Jin Zhen is also wrong. ”
Jin Chenzhi didn't speak, but his eyes widened, revealing a look of surprise.
Surprise at himself.
"It's them who are wrong, not the Dao cultivators. Lin Yi said softly: "That's your answer, right?"
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Lin Yi put his hand on the iron rod and sighed lightly: "At least when you smelt this thing, you are very happy, right? ”
"The old-timer may have been so wrong that he was still thinking about the sword before he was about to die. Could this be the answer he didn't get on in his life?"
"There are no answers, and there is no right path. Jin Chenzhi shook his head, picked up the remnant sword, brushed his fingers over the dark and heavy sword body, and sighed: "But the time to build this sword is really forgotten......"
Lin Yi looked into the distance of the cliff and stopped talking.
He was already smarter than himself, so why should he say more?
Jin Chenzhi's eyes stared at the remnant sword, just like staring at a lover who was separated from life and death.
After a long silence, he finally took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Thank you." ”
Lin Yi smiled and said, "I didn't do anything. ”
"I still don't have the answers, about the headaches, about the abominable Word. Jin Chenzhi nodded, his eyes revealing a serious luster that he had never seen before, "But I want to try." ”
Lin Yi arched his hand and said, "Then please." ”
Jin Chenzhi said: "This sword, although it is a whimsical work of my grandfather when he played with me, but it is not easy to complete. ”
"That's understandable. Lin Yi nodded, "What do you need me to do?"
"Three more things are needed. One is the best mineral material, the Emperor of Iron Essence, and the entire steel mountain range only produces a few dozen catties. One is the mineral dolomite, which is used to soften steel, which is only available at the summit of the main peak. There is also the seventh furnace of the core refining furnace of the villa. ”
"Do you have any clues on how to find these things?"
Jin Chen Zhi groaned for a moment and said, "After the Sword Tasting Meeting begins, the refining furnace will be vacated, and we still have a day." It takes a long time for the King of Iron Spirits to be refined, but there is still a piece of the mountain villa. I'm going to figure out how to get my hands on this piece. ”
Lin Yi nodded and said, "On that day, I will go to the top of the mountain to find the cloud stone." ”
"Alright, when this is done, we will meet in the furnace. Let's go!"
