Chapter 264: The Triwizard Fights
() "Grandma's bear!, which girl is it?" Dongfang was so angry that he scolded.
"Who is talking nonsense there?" Ximen Ding's mood was also very bad, and following the prestige, it was actually one of the people in the Beitang family banquet, "The head of the department, the Beitang family is really well managed!"
"I think you have planned it a long time ago, right? deliberately released the news that Du Huairou was going to cast a knife and trick us into coming and then play a good show of 'disappearance', the purpose was to make Master Tu and Master Deng make a fool of themselves on stage!" Dongfang roared arrogantly, in fact, his purpose was to let the other guests hear, re-divert people's attention, and push the Beitang family to the forefront again.
"Patriarch Ao, where do you start with this? Dare we still expect it to rain today?" Beitang laughed and sarcastically said loudly, "Besides, why do you have so little confidence in Master Tu, will you definitely make a fool of yourself after you come to power?" Or is it that Patriarch Ao has self-knowledge of Master Tu's ability?"
Ximen Ding said coldly: "No matter who wins or loses in the end, there will eventually be a master whose reputation will be discredited, and Master Du of your Beitang family can sit back and enjoy it without coming forward, this plan is not poisonous!"
It is worthy of being an old man, the three of you come and go, a few simple words, not only to clear their own responsibilities, but also not to blame others. The guests watched lively, and those who had planned to leave sat down again, waiting to see how this farce between the three families would end.
Only Nangong Yan was light, holding his arms behind his head, and watching the show with a smile.
"Who the hell shouted that?" Bei Tangli glanced at the seat, and immediately widened his eyes in surprise.
"Don't guess! There is no conspiracy in this matter, I will compete on the stage with Master Tu and Master Deng! Compete for the top three and see who is the real number one caster in the world!" The woman who shouted left her seat and walked to the peak.
The guests didn't know this woman, but listening to her tone, it seemed that she was the powerful knife casting master? People couldn't believe their eyes, Du Huairou was actually a young woman?
"I wonder if Master Tu and Master Deng dare to come on stage?" the woman asked with a playful smile as she walked to the top of the mountain.
"Haha, why don't you dare?" Deng Xianjue, who was sitting in the seat of the Ximen family, rushed to the top of the mountain in three steps and two steps.
In the Dongfang family seat, Tu Lingchun, who had been sitting with his arms crossed, also got up and walked to the peak, and said, "It's too rampant!"
"That's good!" Du Huairou waved his hand boldly, "Since I am a master of knife casting, I should bring casting tools with me when I come to Beitang Mansion this time, right? ”
"When will it start?" Tu Lingchun said coldly.
"You decide. Du Huairou nodded to Beitangli. Beitang clapped three times, and several people carried two boxes out. "There aren't many materials, just enough to cast three knives. If you're worried that the technology is not good and you can't cast it all at once, I don't think you need to compare. ”
"Of course, a 100 percent success rate is a must-have ability to become a master. Allow me some time to fetch the hammer. Deng Xianjue said.
"I'm going to get my casting, too. After an hour, it will officially begin. Tu Lingchun said.
"No problem. Du Huairou smiled slightly.
The two masters left in a hurry. The Beitang family took the opportunity to quickly build two new platforms on both sides of the high platform.
The three sword-forging masters battled it out, which had never happened before in the Sky Flame Continent, and the guests were all ecstatic and happily discussed, and the excited enthusiasm was almost drying up the raindrops that had not yet fallen. Among all of them, only the elders of the three major families of Beitang, Dongfang, and Ximen were relatively calm, because the outcome of this battle was closely related to the future prestige of the family. Just because one person affects the whole family, maybe only three sword casting masters can have such a pivotal position!
"Master Du, I don't know why you have been hiding in the seat just now?" asked Ximen Ding with a smile.
"I didn't hide it, it's just that you didn't recognize me. Du Huairou didn't care about this.
"Master Du, you have never cast a knife in public before, and you have not appeared on the rivers and lakes, it's not that we didn't recognize it, but we didn't know it at all!" Dongfang said proudly, "But...... With your status as a dignified master, it doesn't seem like a good thing to set a noon knife casting but not show up?"
"Oh, the fact that the knife is cast at noon does not mean that the hour will be hammered immediately. Aren't the same with Tu Lingchun and Deng Xianjue? Which of them did they start when they arrived happily? Besides, all kinds of preparations before casting knives, including rest, should be regarded as part of the process of casting knives, and I was just resting just now. Du Huairou's simple words made Dongfang arrogant speechless.
Nangong Yan didn't say much, just arched his hand and said, "I wish Master Du success." ”
Du Huairou also smiled politely, walked past the three patriarchs, jumped on the high platform, sat down and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Bei Tangli looked up at her from afar, and sneered in his heart: "This is what you have to do to get ahead, if you fail to defeat the other two masters, your prestige from the patriarch will be ruined, I see what you will do!"
Before long, the two new high platforms had been erected, and Tu Lingchun and Deng Xianjue also took the casting tools respectively. After selecting the materials, the two of them each brought an assistant to the high platform, and the unprecedented knife casting competition finally began!
Du Huairou, who had been sitting quietly, stood up and waved her hand to the audience. During the feast, a man carried a box to the summit platform.
"It's him!" Nangong Yan was taken aback and stepped forward. That man was none other than Xiao Tianhe, who had been in seclusion for a long time! How could he know Du Huairou? Still wearing the clothes of the Beitang family? Could it be that he joined the Beitang family? Or, he was originally a member of the Beitang family? For a moment, Nangong Yan's heart was full of thoughts. "Brother Xiao...... You ......" he asked, not knowing how to ask. In fact, I really can't complain about Xiao Tianhe about this matter, this Beitang family's clothes are hard by Du Huairou
I want him to put it on.
"Patriarch Yan, I'm sorry, now is not the time, let me explain later. Xiao Tianhe was not surprised, Dongfang Ao had never seen him, but Nangong Yan and Ximen Ding were old acquaintances, they had been in seclusion for more than thirty years, but these two were still the patriarchs of their respective families. "With Nangong Yan's ability, why is the cultivation speed so slow?" Xiao Tianhe wondered in his heart.
In the seat of the Nangong family, Nangong Xue and Nangong Ting exclaimed in unison, the person who had not been seen for a long time actually appeared inexplicably like this! And he was wearing the clothes of the Beitang family! Nangong Xue's eyes were moist, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, some were excited, some were resentful, some were doubtful, and there were longings. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and it wasn't until Nangong Ting gently patted her back that the breath came out with a long breath.
Xiao Tianhe on the stage did not find Nangong Xue and Nangong Ting, and his current task is to be Du Huairou's assistant.
The other guests also watched Xiao Tianhe's every move. Because Du Huairou said that the material of the casting knife was only in the first two large boxes, I don't know what was in the box that Xiao Tianhe carried.
Xiao Tianhe opened the lid of the box and took out a bundle of white things.
"That's ......," the guests stared at with wide eyes.
Xiao Tianhe jumped onto the high platform with the bundle of things, unfolded it with Du Huairou, and tied the bamboo poles tightly to the pillars supporting the high platform, and pulled up a white cloth between the bamboo poles and the bamboo poles, about one and a half people high.
"Isn't it? that's an awning?"
"Have you ever seen an uncovered awning?
The guests suddenly made a commotion, and blocked the public casting knife with a fence?
"Master Du is late first, and he is behind, which can be described as outright untrustworthy. Playing us like this is a bit too deceitful, isn't it?" Dongfang Arrogant's rough words immediately caused a chorus of echoes.
Du Huairou showed her head from the closure of the fence: "When calcining, not only is the heat very high, but it also requires the knife caster to concentrate and keep improving, and the clothes will become a burden at that time." Even if I'm a woman, I have to take off my obstructive clothes. Why, Patriarch Ao wants to come in and feast your eyes? As long as you don't feel ashamed, I naturally won't mind. ”
"Woo ......" The guests in the banquet covered their mouths and snickered.
Dongfang Ao's expression was very embarrassed, and he pointed to Xiao Tianhe's figure in the fence and asked, "Then why can that kid go in?"
Xiao Tianhe set up a fence and was about to come out of it, but was pushed back by Du Huairou. Du Huairou laughed and said, "This person is my husband, why not?"
One sentence caused an uproar among the guests, Master Du had already married someone else?
"I see, I'm suspicious. Dongfang Ao had nothing to say and apologized.
"Hey, you're too much of a trick on me, aren't you? What am I going to do when you're going to fence it, it's because of this! No, I can't stay here, after all, we're a fake couple, don't look at it!" Xiao Tianhe whispered.
Du Huairou turned around and said, "You're so long-winded! Now that the words are out, you have to stay here." I use the fence mainly because I don't want them to discover the secret of my sword forged with demonic power. As for that...... If you don't want to see it, just blindfold yourself for a while!"
"But I can't help if I stay here......"
"You have to stay here. The first two steps of the three steps of casting knives: casting embryos and quenching are the same, but the third step, which is crucial, is not so easy. My demonic power can't play a role in transforming Xuan Qi, I have to rely on you. Du Huairou explained.
"You shouldn't let me help you enlighten your spirit, right? I can't!" Xiao Tianhe shook his head like a rattle, his lame ability to enlighten the spirit, it was no wonder that Du Huairou laughed off his big teeth.
"You don't need to enlighten the spirit, just your red stone!"
"Red Mengshi?" Xiao Tianhe said in surprise, "Isn't the Red Mengshi a thing that condenses with monstrous qi, and can it also be converted into Xuan Qi?"
Du Huairou asked rhetorically: "Didn't Shi Haoming tell you?
Xiao Tianhe frowned and carefully recalled what Shi Haoming's phantom in the misty sea said: "The Red Meng Stone and the Blue Yuan Stone are formed by the condensation of the two qi of Xuan and Ling, and then condensed into the two qi of Meng and Yuan. ”
Du Huairou nodded: "That's right." Although my demonic power cannot directly enlighten the spirit, it can break through the red stone. After the red mengshi is broken, it turns into mengqi, and mengqi cannot exist in the Tianyan Continent, so it will spontaneously turn into Xuanqi, and it is this Xuanqi that I want to use, so I only need to seal the Hongmengshi in the knife body, and break it before casting, and the Xuanqi will naturally remain in the knife. Well...... Although the Xuan Qi is not too much, it is enough to achieve a super best magic knife, even if it is dispersed, at least it is also a super magic knife, it depends on the quality of the material, which is why I told you before that 'the material is the most important'. ”
Xiao Tianhe heard it in a fog: "Isn't that just a stream of air stored in the knife? That kind of knife can also be regarded as a magic knife? Besides, if there is an air flow in the knife, there must be a gap, how good can the quality be?"
"Hehe, that's a big mistake. After all, you still haven't figured out the essence of Xuanqi. Do you think that the air we breathe is Xuanqi? Although 'Xuanqi' has the word 'qi', it is not a 'current' that can really be felt, but a kind of void power of heaven and earth, which is formless and shadowless. When the Xuan Qi is sealed inside the knife, the blade body does not create a void to contain it, but instead it penetrates into all parts of the knife body. The same is true when a demon cultivator casts a knife, where the mystical power in the human body is converted into the mystical energy of heaven and earth and integrated into the knife, thus completing the process of enlightenment. If the 'Xuan Qi' is a kind of air flow according to you, then how big a gap should there be in that magic knife in your body?"
Xiao Tianhe slapped his palms and suddenly realized: "I see!"
Indeed, if the Xuan Qi was a real air flow, how could the Xuan Qi inside the Sky Splitting Knife be endless? I am afraid that at most it is only a small amount of the capacity of the blade body. So Xuanqi is not
It is "qi" in the true sense of the word.
At the beginning, the Black Sword Patriarch once said to Xiao Tianhe that the Qi of Heaven and Earth was formed by combining the soul power of him and the White Sword Ancestor with the laws of Heaven and Earth, and in the final analysis, it was a kind of power of the origin of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, the two ancestors of the black knife and the white sword themselves were born from the combination of the yin and yang qi in the body of the Pangu god who opened the world and the chaos qi, and the yin and yang qi and the chaotic qi are also not "air flows" in the actual sense, if the yin and yang qi are the two origin forces in the body of the Pangu god, then the chaotic qi can be said to be the common origin power of the three worlds of Qingwei, Yuyu and Dachi, that is, the root of the origin of the three worlds.
Although Xiao Tianhe was not able to comprehend such a profound world origin mystery at this time, he had at least understood the essence of Xuan Qi and the principle of Du Huairou casting the magic knife with demonic power. No wonder there were not many Du Huairou casting knives before, the reason was the lack of red mengshi.
"If that's the case, as long as I have the Red Mengshi, wouldn't I be able to become a sword casting master too?" Xiao Tianhe was extremely excited, he felt that this was a shortcut to knife casting that didn't require the talent of enlightenment. Among the three major steps of knife casting, only Qiling cannot be improved by practice, so that the knife casting is simple, just practice hard to improve the level of casting embryos and quenching.
Du Huairou laughed jokingly: "It's easy to say. Can you break a red stone and show me?"
"Uh...... Hehe, I'm kind of getting carried away. Xiao Tianhe touched his head embarrassedly, "Shi Haoming once reminded me not to spend too much time on the Red Stone, because I can't use it now." ”
"How can the red stone be broken if it is broken? Even I have to work hard. Du Huairou moved her wrists and ankles.
Xiao Tianhe expected: "Then isn't everyone in the Yu Yu Realm a master of sword casting?" With the strength of the Yu Yu Realm Demon Cultivator, it shouldn't be difficult to break through the Red Meng Stone.
At this time, cheers came from the audience outside, and it seemed that Tu Lingchun and Deng Xianjue's embryo casting steps had begun invariably.
"No, no, no, the red mengshi is not used like this in the Yuyu realm, you will know when the time comes. Without further aside, I'll have to start casting knives, and the first two steps will take a bit of effort. Du Huairou said and unbuttoned his shirt.
Xiao Tianhe hurriedly turned his back and sat on the ground.
Du Huairou pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered to herself: "This fool, I didn't say that I wasn't allowed to look at ......."
"Hey, I said, I'll give you the red stone first, right?" Xiao Tianhe was embarrassed and nervous.
"No, I'll call you when I need to. ”
"Oh......"
"You're not curious how I knew you had a red stone?"
"It's nothing more than what Shi Haoming told you. "Xiao Tian Dao.
"I guessed wrong, I felt it with demonic power. ”
"Feel it...... Then before you met me, you weren't sure that I had a red mengshi, why did you dare to declare that you wanted to cast a knife publicly?" Xiao Tianhe was puzzled, and then came to his senses, "No, you must have a red mengshi yourself!"
"Hee-hee...... Du Huairou said with a smile, "Lu Stuffing!"
"You deliberately tricked me into staying in the fence...... I'm really not ashamed of you!" Xiao Tianhe couldn't cry or laugh.
"Don't go out at this time, or I'll show the people of Yishan!hahaha!" At the end, Du Huairou laughed loudly. The guests who were watching the two masters of Tu and Deng cast knives heard the sound and turned their eyes to the fence of the high platform in the middle, and Du Huairou's back could only be vaguely identified through the white cloth, and she finally began to act.
While everyone was staring with bated breath at the skillful skills of the three master swordsmiths, one of them almost fainted. Poor Nangong Xue fell on Nangong Ting's shoulder with a pale face.
"Sister!" Nangong Ting said anxiously.
Nangong Xue choked up: "Brother Ting, my heart ...... It hurts!"
"Sister, don't you understand? You have been deceived from beginning to end, what 'already has a sweetheart', 'the sweetheart is dead', that is all Xiao Tianhe's nonsense to lie to you! I'm afraid he was originally a member of the Beitang family, I really regret knowing him!" Nangong Ting's temper came up again.
"No, he won't lie to me!" Nangong Xue closed her eyes in pain, and a tear crossed the corner of her eye.
Nangong Ting comforted her: "Even if he didn't lie to you before, he is now Master Du's Taoist companion." In the final analysis, he doesn't look down on our Nangong family. Forget it, sister, let it all pass!"
"How can my mere fireflies be compared to Master Du's Bright Moon? Brother Xiao chose Master Du, and I don't resent it. It's just that...... It's been thirty-three years, and I didn't expect the reunion to come so suddenly...... Brother Ting, I don't want to watch it anymore, you can go back with me. Nangong Xue got up lonely and left Jinshou Mountain with Nangong Ting.
Of course, Xiao Tianhe in the fence didn't know all this. He really wanted to witness the casting process of the masters with his own eyes, but he was too embarrassed to look back at Du Huairou, and the fence covered the scene outside, so he couldn't see the other two masters at all. For him, the time in the enclosure was nothing short of an ordeal.
The time taken by the three masters to calcinate the material varies greatly. Deng Xianjue took seventeen days. Tu Lingchun also took fifteen days. Du Huairou was the fastest, and it only took ten days. The spring rain had stopped at dusk on the day of the conference, but the impact on the casting of knives was very great. It took Deng Xianjue and Tu Lingchun nearly seven days to barely remove the impurities brought by the rain. And Du Huairou took only five days to complete this process.
After calcination, it is the stage of forging and purification, and on the casting platform of the three masters, the sound of "clanging" hammers is endless. Whether it is Tu Lingchun's "Meteor Casting Knife Method" or Deng Xianjue's "Flying Fire Casting Knife Method", they all feast the eyes of the guests. The two masters seemed to be competing for applause at the same time, and the forging process was extremely wonderful and gorgeous, winning wave after wave of applause.
There was also a sound of intensive tempering in Du Huairou's enclosure, and everyone sighed that they didn't have the opportunity to see it.
On the twenty-first day after the start of the conference, Xiao Tianhe, who had been sitting quietly for many days, finally heard the quenching sound of "whoa" coming from behind him.
