Chapter 17: The Sword Forged in the Flesh

According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the perpetrator cannot have a grand funeral, no matter how old he is.

The next day, Lehua's body was sent to the back mountain by Yuantai.

The lord of the valley sent a notice to the valley about what had happened, and shut himself in the house and never came out again.

There was a lot of discussion in the valley for a while, and the remnants of Wu in the valley couldn't accept the fact that this humble gentleman on weekdays was actually a serial murderer.

Time is the best medicine, but after more than half a month, the valley has returned to its former calm, as if there had never been a murder.

Early in the morning, Taniguchi.

"Brother Chu, it's really an honor to know you, in the future, I will definitely go to Mingjian Villa to visit Brother Chu" Li Kunlun said goodbye to Chu Nanfeng, who was about to leave the valley.

"Brother Li, you are so smart at a young age, you will definitely make great achievements in the future"

"Follow Senior Wei to learn swordsmanship, I am waiting to see you become a generation of heroes" Chu Nanfeng accepted the fact that Lehua died, and his personality was a lot more stable.

"Brother Chu laughed, but Brother Chu is more likely to be a generation of heroes with your background and mind," Li Kunlun replied.

Li Kunlun: "By the way, Brother Xiao, won't he go with you?"

Chu Nanfeng: "He said he wanted to say goodbye to Miss Xue, let me go first"

"Brother Li, there is no banquet in the world, let's say goodbye, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to Mingjian Villa to find me"

Li Kunlun: "Brother Chu, Qingshan will not change, there will be a period in the future"

After the two clasped their fists and saluted, Chu Nanfeng walked into the Ghost Gate Gorge and went out of the valley.

Li Kunlun kept looking at Chu Nanfeng's figure and disappeared completely into the canyon before he looked away......

Taniguchi, flower field.

The colorful mandala flowers stretch for tens of meters, forming a beautiful picture in this valley after the rain......

In the center of the scroll is a lonely grave surrounded by flowers, in front of which a man in black sits on his back and faces the sky.

Li Kunlun stepped forward and saw the wooden sign that read: The tomb of Xue Yu'er, Yiren.

"Brother Xiao, what are your plans in the future" Li Kunlun sat down next to Xiao Rui, picked a cyan mandala and put it in front of Xue Yu'er's grave.

"I asked the Lord of Qiu Gu for some pills, and I will go to Luomei Village first"

Xiao Rui closed his eyes and replied.

"Brother Xiao, take care" Li Kunlun didn't want to bother too much.

Xiao Rui didn't answer and continued to close his eyes.

Li Kunlun got up and left.

Li Kunlun was about to go back to the villa from the valley, and when he walked to the market, he suddenly remembered the white shopkeeper and walked towards the inn.

"Boy, your affairs have become a household name in this valley during this time, how does it feel to be worshiped by everyone" The white shopkeeper joked when he saw Li Kunlun.

"White shopkeeper, don't be sarcastic about me, since I found out that Lehua is the murderer, the people in this valley look at me as if they are going to eat me" Li Kunlun smiled bitterly.

"It's your inn, without me, Senior Wei and I are afraid that it won't be open for half a month," Li Kunlun shot back.

"Hey, you kid, you don't have much ability, but you've made a lot of mistakes," said the white shopkeeper.

"By the way, Gu Dong's apprentice of that strange old man came to you just now, crying with a sad face as if someone owed him money."

Li Kunlun: "Uncle Chu, what is the matter with him looking for me?"

The white shopkeeper: "He didn't tell me, he just said that you should come and find him, and my words can be brought to me."

"In this case, then I'll go over and see you another day"

After Li Kunlun finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Boy, wait, I have hidden a jar of daughter's red aged wine, you send it to the ghost swordsman, those medicinal wines in Zhuyue Mountain Villa smell bad to death, he is afraid that he is about to be noisy to death by wine insects" The white shopkeeper shouted Li Kunlun After speaking, he turned around and brought out a small jar of wine from behind the counter.

"The seniors are still recuperating from their injuries, so it's not appropriate to drink, I'll take it first and wait for him to heal before giving it to him"

The junior will thank the white shopkeeper for the senior."

After Li Kunlun finished speaking, he hugged his fists and saluted, and turned around to leave with the wine jar in his hand.

After a while, he came to the front of the stone courtyard.

I saw mourning flags hanging on the walls and courtyards.

Li Kunlun suddenly felt bad in his heart, and immediately ran into the courtyard, and saw Chu Weifeng wearing a filial piety hat and jute.

It is clear what the white shopkeeper just said about Chu Weifeng's sad face.

"Kunlun, you're here," Chu Weifeng said to Li Kunlun, who came in a panic.

Li Kunlun: "Uncle Chu, isn't it okay before asking your seniors...... How can it suddenly be ......"

Chu Weifeng: "The master has been in poor health, and he has been casting a sword in recent years, and he has exhausted his efforts for it."

"Take the Kunlun indigo mine in the west as the body, and cast the edge of the thousand-year-old Xuanjing in the east, fire in the furnace for seven hours every day, knock and chisel more than 300 times, hammer and forge all day long and night, and it took five years to finally take shape."

"The master knew that the limit was approaching, and he had the idea of forging a sword with his body, and I tried to dissuade him many times but failed to make him change his mind, watching him weaken and depressed all day long, I had to follow him"

"Early this morning, after the master bathed and changed clothes, he jumped into the sword furnace......" Chu Weifeng looked up to the sky and sighed.

"To be able to die for the good of your life is not a lifetime in vain, and it is enough to ask your predecessors for wish, Uncle Chu doesn't have to be too sad," Li Kunlun comforted.

Chu Weifeng: "Kunlun, I came to you to fulfill my master's last wish"

Li Kunlun: "Uncle Chu said that as long as I can do it, I will do my best"

Chu Weifeng: "The master has a withdrawn personality, he had to forge a sword and had little contact with people during his lifetime, only the money shopkeeper of the gambling house and Miss Xue of Luomeizhuang are his confidants and friends"

"Later, the two died tragically one after another, and the master was heartbroken, and a serious illness was thanks to you to make his old man feel a little relieved."

Li Kunlun: "This is just what I should do, Uncle Chu doesn't have to worry about it"

Chu Weifeng: "Kunlun, do you remember the first time you came to this courtyard, the master told you that if you solve this case, you will have a heavy gift."

Li Kunlun: "The younger generation remembers"

Chu Weifeng: "The master's last wish before his death was to give you this sword forged by his body."

"Give it to me!!" Li Kunlun couldn't believe it.

Chu Weifeng: "Yes, the master said that you are smart and chivalrous, and you have an indissoluble chance with the sword head of the Yue Kingdom, and he will not let this sword bury the rivers and lakes in the future."

Li Kunlun: "Such a valuable thing, how can the younger generation be virtuous"

Chu Weifeng: "Kunlun, it's an opportunity for you to come here, you don't have to shirk it anymore"

"I hope you can use it on the right path, and the master Jiuquan will also be pleased"

After Chu Weifeng finished speaking, he picked up the wooden box on the stone table, dragged it with both hands, and turned to Li Kunlun.

Li Kunlun thought about it again and again, but still reached out and opened the box.

The moment the box was opened, the entire sword body emitted an astonishing light, which was particularly dazzling in the sunlight. When the entire box was opened, Li Kunlun saw the whole picture of the sword clearly.

A light blue thin-checked sword with a sword body as transparent as a blue crystal. The blade of the sword is thin and light blue, the sword is extremely narrow and white, the color of the sword wax is slightly darker from the ridge to the gradual integration into the sword body, the sword lattice is dark blue and the thin grid shines in the sun, the pattern on the sword stem is like rippling water waves, and the color is back to the light blue of the sword body.

Li Kunlun couldn't help but caress the sword back and forth with both hands, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable tide of emotion......

"Ask the seniors, the juniors will live up to your high expectations and make good use of this sword"

"This sword is as clear as a stream, and it gives people a surging feeling"

"Since then, I will call you ---Peach Creek"......
