"Thank you Xiaoyou for solving the doubts of the old road today, the old way is grateful, but the old way is that the wish has been and it is time to rest, and please Xiaoyou will collect the talisman seal, and the old way will go to rest. Although he said it vaguely, Shan Liang understood what he really meant.

Shan Liang knew the meaning of Xuantan Lao Dao's words and didn't speak, after a while, Shan Liang got up and walked to Lao Dao and stretched out his hand to see that there was no pulse in his neck, Shan Liang sighed in a low voice: "Why bother." He took off the four paper talismans and stuffed them back into his pocket, and walked out of the door, just in time to see the young Taoist in the courtyard stopping to look into the room.

Seeing this scene, Shan Liang couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, walked to the young Taoist and said: "The predecessors of the Xuantan have been naturalized, and I still hope that the Taoist friends will mourn." The Taoist was already crying, his eyes were red, and he replied in a low voice: "The ancestor has already explained what happened after his death, thank you for your help." Hearing this, Shan Liang walked out of the small courtyard, put his hand into his trouser pocket, crushed an instrument that was flashing a small green light inside, and then sighed and went straight back to his room.

Early the next morning, after Shan Liang packed his luggage and the notes recorded in these days, he left Beijing and returned to Lu Municipal Government, walked out of the airport and saw Zhang Zhenbao who came to pick him up. Shan Liang scolded with a smile and replied, "Get out, let's go, let's go back." "Shan Liang said hello to his brothers last night and said goodbye to this morning's plane, Zhang Zhenbao had to come to pick up the plane, and Shan Liang left him alone.

Back to Qinghui Mountain, it has been the same here for nearly two months. After putting down the luggage and doing a little cleaning, Shan Liang sorted out the clothes and notes and came to the small courtyard, where Zhang Zhenbao was sitting at the stone table in the small courtyard drinking tea.

Shan Liang sat down across from him, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.

"Let's talk about it, I went to that famous mountain and river to visit again in the past two months?" Zhang Zhenbao said jokingly.

"I went to Jingshi. ”

"Yo, how did you change your character, will you go to Jingshi? ”

"During this time, the Huaxia Xuanmen Conference was held, and I was invited to participate as a folk metaphysics lover. Shan Liang poured another cup of tea and said.

"Huaxia Xuanmen Conference?"

"Hmm. ”

"Isn't it fun, didn't you preach a sermon, fighting or something?"

"No, it's just the personnel arrangements and ideological construction of the branches of metaphysical associations in various parts of China, which is particularly boring. Shan Liang pursed his lips and said, obviously not very satisfied with the content of this Xuanmen conference.

Zhang Zhenbao raised his cup and stared at Shan Liang and said, "No, with your temper, you would stay there for so long for such a boring thing?"

Shan Liang gave him a sanitary look and said, "Do you think I'm like that kind of person?"

"What kind of person, do you know something, let's talk about what kind of person you are. Seeing that Shan Liang fell into the full set of his words, Zhang Zhenbao looked at him with a smug face.

"Boring!" Shan Liang naturally knew the meaning of Zhang Zhenbao's words, so he glanced at him.

"So what do you want to talk about? ”

"Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, you're all going to come here for a while, and I have something to tell you. Shan Liang straightened up and said, "Very important!"

Hearing Shan Liang's words, Zhang Zhenbao was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "That's not simple, the brothers have already discussed, we will have dinner together tonight, and then everyone will be together, it is very convenient to drink and eat food and talk, so you have to come here another day." ”

Shan Liang shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's inconvenient for the restaurant to talk a lot, I can't guarantee whether someone is spying on me now, so I won't go tonight, a month, you will come to me in a month, and I will tell you in detail when the time comes." ”

"Surveillance? Shan Liang, tell me the truth, have you committed anything during this time, how can you still be surveillance? If you really can't do it, you can speak, and the brothers will help you find a way." Hearing the word surveillance, Zhang Zhenbao finally became serious.

Shan Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "It's not a crime, it's just that this time I helped someone calculate a hexagram, and I saw something unusual, but this matter is too bizarre, so the country has concerns, and it doesn't matter if the limelight passes in a month, so I want you to come over in a month." ”

"Who are you helping to calculate, and why are you still connected with national concerns?" Zhang Zhenbao was puzzled.

Shan Liang didn't speak, but just stretched out his right index finger and pointed to the sky.

"Heaven, big man?" Seeing that Zhang Zhenbao had some misunderstandings, Shan Liang didn't explain but nodded.

"Oh mom, how can you still count that kind of person, this kind of person and thing involves too much, you have to be cautious in the future, don't do stupid things in a fool's mind. Zhang Zhenbao saw Shan Liang and nodded, thinking that he guessed it, and couldn't help but persuade Shan Liang.

"Anyway, in a word, you just know about this now, don't tell them to worry them yet, and you will know when you come together. Today you just say I'm too tired to go. ”

"Then you're going to let me worry about it first?" Zhang Zhenbao said with a "resentful" expression.

Shan Liang looked at him a little disgusted like that, and said in his heart, isn't this the end of the conversation.

"You're out of luck. "The single beam doesn't have a good airway.

"Okay, then that's it, you rest, I'll go first, remember, call us quickly if there's anything." With that, Zhang Zhenbao stood up and walked out.

Shan Liang got up and sent him out of the small courtyard and returned to the stone table to sit down and think for a while, and then thought that he had taken out the sword without practicing the sword outside during this time, and as a result, he felt that the sword was a little light, and after a little thought, he knew that his internal strength had improved during this time, and this sword was a little inappropriate. This sword was bought casually when I first started practicing swords, and it was a very ordinary practice sword that did not open the edge, thinking of my actual situation, so I had the idea of casting my own sword.

If you want to do it, you have never been in contact with the single beam of the iron casting sword began to look for information on the Internet, after knowing the process in general, began to study the tools and materials needed for the iron, after a general understanding, the single beam found the villagers under the mountain, rented a piece of land close to Qinghui Mountain and built with a house as a sword casting site, busy these days are also dark, so the single beam returned to the mountain and began his daily homework.

On the second day, after finishing the cultivation of the single beam, he began to buy sword-casting tools, coke, horn anvils, tongs, blowers, and hammers of various styles...... It took a day to get these tools and materials ready. On the third day, I spent another day disposing of the hearth, tried to dismantle, dismantled and dismantled, and finally made a hearth with a pretty good effect before dark.

In this way, after four days of preparation, the simple single-beam blacksmith began to work.

On the morning of the day when I began to prepare for the sword, Shan Liang got up, practiced, and went to the blacksmith after breakfast, recalled the appearance of the sword he designed, selected the iron embryo, selected the iron embryo, and began to ignite the fire, when the fire in the furnace was burning, the iron embryo with different carbon content was arranged in a staggered manner, stacked in layers and put into the furnace for calcination, and after the iron embryo was burned red, it was clamped out with a fire tong and put on the horn anvil with a hammer to start forging, and after forging for a while, it was forged into a whole iron embryo and then put into the furnace for calcination.

After several repetitions, the iron embryo has become a long and narrow iron sheet, and the iron sheet is folded in half and continues to be heated, forged, and folded in half. Just like the ancients said, folding in half once is called a refining, and the hundred steels are named because of folding and forging.

The current single beam can't be refined, but it is still as much as possible. At the beginning, because of lack of experience, there were a lot of scraps, and finally the iron embryos were exhausted, and he had to stop and go into some iron embryos, one or two, one day or two, so the level of the single-beam cast sword began to slowly improve under the accumulation of a waste sword, during which he also touched some small doorways, so the quality of each finished product was a little better than the previous one.

Twenty days later, Shan Liang finally had the first work that could be handled, although this sword only had a pitiful seventeen refinements, but the quality was much better than the sword he bought, and the two swords were slashed against each other, and this sword was undamaged.

With the results, there will be motivation, and Shan Liang is more and more interested in forging swords, thinking that since he has to do his best, he will set a small goal first: Bailian.

So for the next ten days, the single beam has been forging a sword, from the initial twenty-six or seven pounds of iron embryo forging into the end only three catties and six taels, the more to the back of the single beam is more cautious, a little attention will be wasted, just like that, on the tenth day this sword is finally baked.

After planing, polishing, inlaying, and grinding, this sword named pine pattern by a single beam was officially launched, and the pine pattern sword, the sword length was three feet six inches and five minutes, and it was about two fingers wide and weighed three catties and six taels. The body of the sword is covered with folded and forged lines like pine grain, so it is named loose sword.

The day after the pine sword was cast, when Shan Liang was designing the style of the second sword in Qinghui Mountain, the seven brothers came here.

"Shan Liang, I heard that you went to Jingshi some time ago, how is it, is it fun?" This is Zhang Zhenguo's voice.

"Shan Liang, I heard that you participated in the Huaxia Xuanmen Conference, what's the matter, when will you officially become a Taoist monk?" These are Ma Xingbang's words.

"Is there something we have to do today, and the brothers will sum it up later. Hu Yufeng's tone was still as steady as before.

"I haven't seen anyone for more than two months, what have you been doing lately?" Zhang Fang asked.
