Chapter 603: Legend of the Heavenly Sword
"Well, what does this have to do with the Heavenly Sword Dragon Slaying Knife?" Murong Fu wasn't very interested in Emei's history, but was eager to know what the secret Zhou Zhiruo was talking about.
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly!" Zhou Zhiruo glanced at him with disgust and said, "Later, the world was in turmoil, and the Emei faction quickly changed from prosperity to decline, until the Qin State dominated the world, it was only slightly better, but the good times did not last long, after Qin Shi Huang sat on the dragon chair, he couldn't sleep well every day, and there was a real dragon in his dream to ask for his life, in order to solve this worry, he did three things. ”
"What three things?" Murong Fu suddenly became interested, because from a certain point of view, Qin Shi Huang was the object he wanted to emulate.
"Collect the world's soldiers, gather the world's sword-forging masters, and send people to the East China Sea to seek immortal medicine. Zhou Zhiruo paused and continued, "Needless to say, the world's soldiers are collected, this sword-casting master who gathers the world, coincidentally, the third-generation Emei head at that time happened to be one of the most famous swordsmiths in the world, so he was summoned by Emperor Qin. ”
"Qin Shi Huang gathered the most famous sword-casting grandmaster in the world at that time, and spent ten years collecting the hundred-year-old Xuanhuo essence on the top of the Tianshan Mountain, the thousand-year-old cold gold and iron on the coast of the East China Sea, and the 10,000-year-old immortal bamboo in the extreme west, and asked all the sword-casting masters to work together to cast the most domineering and sharpest sword in the world, which can lean on the sky and slay the dragon on the top, and sweep the world below. ”
Murong Fu was dumbfounded when he heard these words, he had never heard of a thousand-year-old cold gold and iron, or a thousand-year-old immortal bamboo, and although the Yitian Sword was much sharper than an ordinary long sword, it could not be called a divine weapon in the true sense, could it be that this was a masterpiece of a sword-forging grandmaster?
Zhou Zhiruo seemed to see Murong Fu's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "In fact, the so-called hundred-year-old Xuanhuo essence is a kind of iron essence calcined by extraterrestrial meteorites in the crater, and the thousand-year-old cold gold iron is a kind of cold iron formed by the seabed Xuanbing and gold iron, as for the 10,000-year-old immortal bamboo, it is a bamboo that has not died after nine heavenly thunder strikes, but the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slayer are not cast from these three things. ”
Although she said it lightly, Murong Fu knew that it was not an exaggeration to call these three things divine objects, even if any of them were cast into weapons, it was enough to look at the world, and for a while, I couldn't help but look forward to the secret she said in her mouth.
"The materials are ready, and the sword-casting grandmaster is also in place, but how difficult it is to cast these three things into divine weapons, ten sword-casting masters have spent countless efforts and decades before the sword embryo finally takes shape, and three of them have died because of their advanced age and exhaustion of longevity. ”
Qin Shi Huang also did not wait for the birth of the divine soldier, then he died depressed, as soon as he died, the divine soldier who was about to be born became an ownerless thing, the seven sword-forging masters are also mortals after all, how can there be no reason not to be moved, so a cannibalism began. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhiruo didn't know what she thought, looked at Murong Fu's eyes with a hint of strangeness, and asked, "If Brother Murong chooses between Shenbing and Zhiruo, what will Brother Murong choose?"
"Do you need to ask, of course I choose ......" Murong Fu blurted out that he wanted to choose Zhou Zhiruo, but after a change of heart, he smiled and said, "I naturally want both a divine soldier and Zhiruo, the ancients said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, but I want both." ”
"When manpower is poor, can you really have both?" Zhou Zhiruo didn't have the slightest joy on her face, she just muttered in a low voice, and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist.
"What, you don't believe me?" Murong Fu couldn't help but feel slightly strange.
"No, I believe it...... I believe it!" Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, shook her head and said.
Murong Fu was puzzled, but he didn't say anything.
Zhou Zhiruo calmed down and continued, "The seven supreme masters fought upside down, most of the entire sword-casting pool was destroyed, and it also alarmed the Xianyang guards. ”
"And after I sent the patriarch back to Emei, he immediately announced the closure of the mountain and the seclusion, about what he grabbed in that battle, he never mentioned it until his death, but since then, the Emei faction has two more swords, the sword is called the 'Dragon Slayer Knife', and the sword is called the 'Yitian Sword'. ”
"That's how the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slayer Sword came from. After Murong Fu listened, it was not difficult to guess that the Emei Sword Casting Sect Master had reforged some of the divine weapons he had grabbed into the Dragon Slayer Sword and the Heavenly Sword.
But what is hidden in the sword, and what is involved with Xia Ke Island, he is still confused, and he can't help but look at Zhou Zhiruo with suspicion.
She didn't disappoint Murong Fu either, and after taking a sip of the teacup on the table, she continued, "Since then, the Emei faction has been clean for hundreds of years, although there are occasional rumors of dragon slaying knives and Yitian swords on the rivers and lakes, but no one dares to come and snatch them, until more than a hundred years ago, suddenly a mysterious force calling itself 'Heavenly Sword Gate' came to the door and demanded to hand over the Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Knife. ”
"Heavenly Sword Sect?" Murong Fu couldn't help but be stunned, he had never heard of such a sect in the rivers and lakes.
Zhou Zhiruo nodded, and continued, "The contemporary head of the sect is naturally not allowed, although this 'Heavenly Sword Gate' is not well-known, but its power is extremely terrifying, overnight, hundreds of first-class masters and dozens of top masters have gathered, among which the first two are high in martial arts, even the head of Guo Xiang, who was in charge of martial arts at that time, was seriously injured in only three moves, and finally forced the three hidden elders to go out to defend against the enemy, and then stopped these two. ”
"The two sides fought for three days and three nights, but the other side was outnumbered, although the Emei faction desperately defended, but the dragon slayer knife was still snatched by the other party, after this battle, the Emei faction disciples did not survive one in ten, of which the male disciples were almost all killed, and the three elders finally died of exhaustion, and the Emei faction completely declined. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhiruo's face couldn't help but turn a little pale, although she had not personally experienced the battle, whether it was listening to the extermination master Tai's dictation, or listening to Murong Fu at this moment, it was inevitable that she would feel a little thrilling and desolate in the bloody battle.
"What happened later? Could it be that the Heavenly Sword Gate was hidden on Xia Ke Island, or was Xia Ke Island originally the lair of the Heavenly Sword Gate?" Murong Fu's heart moved, and he said his guess.
Zhou Zhiruo shook his head, "After many investigations, Xia Ke Island is indeed likely to be the lair of the Heavenly Sword Gate, according to Shizun, in fact, after the seven sword casting masters fled separately, they did not completely cut off contact, after calming down, they agreed that the Divine Sword is too angry, if it is born, it will definitely cause boundless killing, it is a mutual agreement, the seven people and the descendants of the seven people will never meet, so that the Divine Sword will never be able to appear." ”
"So Shizun guessed that the 'Heavenly Sword Gate' was created by the descendants of one of the seven sword-casting grandmasters hundreds of years ago, and they snatched the Dragon Slayer Sword and the Heavenly Sword in order to reforge the Divine Sword, but later for some reason, the snatched Dragon Slayer Knife fell into the rivers and lakes again, setting off a bloody storm. ”
"I see, that's how it is. After Murong Fu listened, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, because all this was too illusory, he couldn't imagine what a weapon that could be forged from the legendary artifact-like material looked like, and listening to Zhou Zhiruo's meaning, it seemed that this was just a guess of the exterminator, whether Xia Ke Island was the Heavenly Sword Gate, and no one knew if there was a recast divine soldier.
To put it simply, it is the moon in the water and the flowers in the fog, and it is difficult for him to feel anything.
Zhou Zhiruo didn't notice the slight change in Murong Fu's expression, and continued, "Before his death, Shizun ordered me to exhaust my life's strength to retrieve the Dragon Slayer Knife, revive Emei, and when my strength is enough, I will land on Xia Ke Island and take revenge!"
Murong Fu let out a long sigh of relief, his brows furrowed into a "Chuan", and after a long while, he said slowly, "Zhiruo, I'm afraid that you went to Xia Ke Island not only to take revenge, but more because of that divine sword?"
Zhou Zhiruo nodded, "Zhiruo once said that whatever Brother Murong wants, Zhiruo will help you get it, you once wanted the Yitian Sword, Zhiruo originally planned to give it to you after taking over as the head, but since you know that the Yitian Sword is related to another divine sword, it is naturally better to give it away." ”
In fact, her words are still a little untrue, the original last words of the exterminator Taitai were just for her to retrieve the dragon slayer knife and revive Emei, and she didn't say a word about the so-called revenge, and even asked her never to set foot on Xia Ke Island.
It's just that Zhou Zhiruo knew that Murong Fu had coveted the world for a long time, and after getting this secret, the first thing she thought about was that if Murong Fu got this magic weapon, the world would have it at her fingertips.
If the exterminator Tai Jiuquan learned that Zhou Zhiruo's elbow was turned out so badly, I don't know if he would be so angry that he jumped out of the coffin.
Of course, this little secret will never be known.
Murong Fu was moved in his heart, but he still frowned, and after thinking about it in his heart, he said, "Zhiruo, just now you asked me, if the divine soldier and Zhiruo are placed in front of me, what will I choose, in fact, what I really think in my heart is, let alone a mere divine weapon in front of me, even if it is ten or a hundred handles, it is not as important as my Zhiruo, so if you take risks for the so-called divine soldier, I will not allow it." ”
Zhou Zhiruo was stunned for a moment, then her nose was sour, and two crystal tears slowly flowed down from the corners of her eyes, plunging into Murong Fu's chest.
Murong Fu patted her soft back, and said softly, "Not to mention whether Xia Kedao is the Heavenly Sword Gate, even if they are really recasting the Divine Soldier, it will inevitably be the Longtan Tiger's Den, don't talk about you, even if I add up the two, it is not enough for people to stuff their teeth, not to mention that the Divine Sword has long fallen apart, and one of the fragments is still in your hands, do you think it is possible for the Divine Soldier to be cast?"
"Brother Murong?" Zhou Zhiruo raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Murong Fu with a puzzled expression.
"Although the divine soldier is good, it is ethereal, how can it match half of your affection. Murong Fu said affectionately.
Hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo was even more moved.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, you haven't said what is hidden in the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slayer?"
