After Li Dazhun's grandfather and grandson fell asleep, the three of them each changed their night clothes and went out of the city overnight to Shapingfeng.

Li Chengcheng was dressed in black, but he had a white sè towel on his head, which was the one that Li Jinhua asked him to cover in the afternoon. Xiao Jinyan didn't have a good breath and said, "Li Daxia, why did you explore the Imperial Sword Villa tonight, you didn't let you participate in the Masked Swordsman by setting up this set." ”

Li Tingcheng disagreed, "This thing is uncomfortable to wear at first, but it's good to get used to it." At least, it's more recognizable in the dark. ”

Zhao Lanjiang said that let him wear it, and when he released the arrow for a while, he would definitely shoot him or not us. As soon as Xiao Jinyan heard that it made sense, he no longer dissuaded him.

Shaping Peak is the first peak in Wanzhou, more than 500 zhang high, among which there are many hills, low-lying mountains, in the middle of the mountainside, there are flat dams, low platforms, standing near the Yangtze River. The three of them came to the bottom of the peak and looked up, and there was a brightly lit place halfway up the mountain, which was where the Imperial Sword Mountain Villa was located.

A winding stone path leads to the summit. Every thirty zhang, set up a sentry post, there are beacon smoke, there are big drums for warning, and the guard is strict.

Zhao Lanjiang Qi said, "There are a number of flat dams here, the feng shui is good, and the Imperial Sword Villa is built in the middle of the mountainside, isn't it willing to seek the near and far, and the easy to take the difficult?"

Xiao Jinyan explained, "The Imperial Sword Villa is built in the middle of the mountainside, and there is only one passage wide by a zhang, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Zhao Lanjiang was born in the army, and when he heard this, he retorted, "If this is the case, I will send a thousand archers to guard the bottom of the mountain, cut off the water source and food, and trap him for three or four months, won't it be self-defeating?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinyan scratched his head in embarrassment.

Li Chengcheng laughed and said, "Forcibly explaining is the most deadly." ”

Xiao Jinyan said dissatisfied, then you can talk about it?

"The reason why the Imperial Sword Villa produces famous swords is because there are five sword-casting furnaces of gold, wood, water, fire and earth in the villa, and the swords cast by these five furnaces are harder and more durable than ordinary swords. Second, according to legend, in the mountainside of Shaping Peak, there is a natural fire hole, which can be grounded from the fire, the temperature is extremely high, and the sword quenched by the fire has almost no impurities. ”

Xiao Jinyan was speechless.

Zhao Lanjiang said, "Let's think about how to go up first!"

......

Away from the fire hole.

Although it was winter, it was extremely hot in the cave.

There is a deep hole about ten zhang in size, straight into the ground, from the edge, a dark red sè magma, flowing in the ground, very terrifying.

The five Ding furnaces of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are erected above the fire cave, and each has a long tube of dozens of zhang extending straight downward, leading to the bottom of the magma. Sun Qiangu and his son stood at the entrance of the cave, and more than a dozen shirtless men were debugging the Ding furnace.

Sun Shaoming looked at the Ding furnace with blazing eyes.

Soon after, a peerless sword that is the best in the world is about to be released. What kind of mountain-shaking sword, what kind of hidden sword, in front of this sword, it is not worth mentioning at all. Two days later, at the sword appreciation conference, this sword will be famous all over the world, and then the Imperial Sword Villa will re-enter the first-rate sect of martial arts, and even dominate the martial arts, it is not difficult.

"Father, everything is ready, why don't you turn on the furnace yet?"

Sun Qiangu said lightly, "Wait." ”

"Wait?"

"Yes, the Red Essence Xuantie is the most yang thing in the world, and it is necessary to use it when the heaven and earth reach the son of yīn in order to forge this earth-shattering peerless sword. He pointed to the mountain-shaking sword at his waist, "This mountain-shaking sword, although it is ranked second on the sword list, is actually a failure." Our Imperial Sword Villa has not had five furnaces co-born for three hundred years, and the red essence and dark iron are spiritual items, which can absorb the true essence of heaven and earth, and if they can be cast, they can kill immortals. Tonight's sword can only succeed, not fail!"

Sun Qiangu glanced at Sun Shaoming and sighed in his heart. This unsuccessful child refuses to put his mind on martial arts, and with a little achievement, he is proud and doesn't know the depth. But he is old and has a son, and he loves Sun Shaoming very much, thinking that after this matter, can he plead with that sword immortal and give it a click, even if he can't enter the Tongxiang realm, he has to get a Zhixuan upper realm, right?

Sun Qiangu knew the power of that sword immortal.

He has been trapped in the Knowing Mystery Realm for decades, and he has never been able to go further. For this reason, he went to Shujian Mountain, asked to see the mountain immortal, met the sword immortal, and asked for the way to the realm. The sword immortal just gently stroked the top of his head with his hand, and the barrier that had restrained him for many years collapsed. It was precisely that stroke that made his realm rise greatly.

However, this light hand stroke has a price.

That is the secret he revealed in the mountain behind Shaping Peak to Shujian Mountain.

Twenty years ago, Wang Banxian was also called Wang Shoudao, a national teacher of the Ming Dynasty, and he was once grateful to the Imperial Sword Villa. One day, he brought a young Taoist leader, and with the help of the power of the fire in the mountain, he set up a formation in the back mountain and built a dungeon.

In fact, it is said to be a dungeon, but it is just a cave of more than ten zhang in size.

After it was built, the Taoist priest walked in and never came out again.

It was not so much that Wang Banxian trapped him, but that he trapped himself.

At that time, Sun Qiangu was thirty-nine years old, and the Taoist priest looked to be about twenty years old. Now, twenty years later, the Taoist is still twenty years old. For twenty years, the lodge never brought him food, he only fed on the shou wu in the mountains, goblins and mountain streams. Sun Qiangu didn't believe in any immortality, but when he saw this person, he was shocked, and then he went to the cave many times to visit, the Taoist never opened his mouth, a green lamp, an ancient book, a twenty years.

Sun Qiangu once made a blood oath to Wang Banxian and never revealed this matter, but after all, he did not withstand the temptation of Jin Realm, and took this information as a condition and told those immortals on Shujian Mountain. He is not afraid that Wang Banxian will seek revenge, because he has already crossed the river with mud and Bodhisattva, and it is difficult to protect himself.

The time has come.

Sun Qiangu's heart was as calm as water, and he said calmly, "Start the furnace." ”

The dozen or so swordsmiths poured the black sè powder that had been prepared long ago into the fire hole along the long tube of the Five Venerable Ding Furnaces.

Boom, boom.

When the lava in the ground encounters black sè powder, the temperature soars, first dark red, then orange, and then golden. There was a rumbling sound in the center of the earth, which spread dozens of miles away, and the entire Wanzhou City heard this vibration.

Sun Qiangu shook his head, "The amount is not enough." ”

A large amount of powder was poured into the core, and the magma began to become irritable, constantly surging upward, spewing out more than a hundred zhang high, and the magma turned into white, rising up, and following the five tubular objects into the five uneven Ding furnaces.

The shaft turned, gurgling.

The red essence and dark iron were put into the top Jinzun, Sun Qiangu stared at the Jinzun Ding Furnace, the magma rolled over, and after passing through the Ding Furnace, it fell back to the ground, and so on. The piece of dark iron gradually melted in the magma, turning into a pitch-black liquid state, and gradually sinking to the bottom.

When the time was ripe, Sun Qiangu ordered the wooden furnace to be opened again, and the liquid dark iron flowed into the wooden furnace, and after a cup of tea, it passed through the Wuding Sword Casting Furnace.

Sun Qiangu couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, the five five elements of the Ding Furnace had extracted the essence of the dark iron, and when the dark iron turned golden, he shouted loudly, "Out of the oven!" The floodgates opened, and the piece of dark iron flowed into the sword mold.

"Open the box. ”

More than a dozen men turned the shaft, and a large hole was opened in the mountainside.

In an instant, the mountain wind rushed in.

Whining the whole hole out of the fire.

The sword embryo is made.

The jet-black sword body revealed a golden texture.

At this moment, between heaven and earth, a vision arose.

Countless Heaven and Earth True Elements, as if they had been summoned, were overwhelming, gathering towards the Fire Cave and pouring into this black sword embryo.

The bottom of Shaping Peak.

Li Chengcheng heard the strange noise in the cave and exclaimed, "What is the matter, such a big battle?" Zhao Lanjiang Qi said, "You haven't noticed that the true yuan of heaven and earth in this place seems to be more abundant. "Xiao Jinyan practiced the power of string movement, and his feelings were the most direct.

When the sword embryo was first formed, he sensed the string movement between heaven and earth, at first like a baby sleeping, and then began to become irritable, disordered, and disordered.

"Could it be that piece of red essence and black iron?"

Xiao Jinyan said in his heart.

If the Imperial Sword Villa really forged this peerless sword, I am afraid that the entire rivers and lakes will go crazy for it, which will inevitably lead to a new round of bloody storms.

Above the entire rivers and lakes, all the masters above the Ordinary Realm sensed this change. The fortune of the world is constant, and the already thin Heaven and Earth True Yuan, if a share is seized by this strange treasure, then the path of cultivation in the future may be even more difficult.

In the cave of the back mountain, a young Taoist priest put down the ancient scroll in his hand and frowned.

A hundred miles away, Wang Banxian looked at the place where Shapingfeng was, worried, he took out the broken bowl in his waist, held it in his hand, and was entangled for a moment, and finally hung it back on his waist, and said in his heart, "Xiao Jinyan, Xiao Jinyan, you don't want to disappoint me." ”

At this moment, Sun Qiangu is already a trendy Pengbai, and he can no longer keep his heart of tranquility.

He shouted, "Quench!"

The sword embryo has been burned red by the spare furnace, and while the sword embryo is not completely hardened, Sun Qiangu personally went into battle, picked up the giant hammer, and smashed it with all his strength.

Leaving the fire hole, there was a sound of thumping iron.

The cave was already filled with water vapor, and it was extremely hot.

Some swordsmiths, who had a little less stamina, had already fainted to the ground.

The Heaven and Earth True Yuan continued to pour in, and every time it was refined, it smashed out the impurities in the dark iron by one point.

And so on nine times.

The entire sword embryo has become dark through the body, and after absorbing the true essence of heaven and earth, the dark red sè stripes are like a dragon pattern, glowing with a simple light.

Sun Shaoming's lips were chapped, and there was a greedy look in his eyes, and this long sword, like magic, seemed to be calling him. Not only Sun Shaoming, except for Sun Qiangu, the rest of the people were staring at this sword embryo with their eyes as if they had been captured.

A white light flashed, followed by a red light, and it was fleeting.

The speed of the two rays of light was extremely fast, and everyone thought they were dazzled.

At this moment, Sun Qiangu was exhausted, and with all the strength of his life, he raised the hammer and smashed it down on the sword embryo.

Final Punch!

Rumble!

The entire fire cave trembled, and the five elements tripod stove frame suspended in the air was actually broken, and the five tripod furnaces fell into the depths of the fire cave.

Magma erupted dozens of feet high.

Excalibur is ready!

Sun Qiangu looked at the jet-black long sword, proud in his heart, and couldn't help laughing.

Sun Shaoming has retracted his mind, and when he looks at this black sword again, it is unremarkable, and it no longer has the soul-snatching power it had before. However, he believed in his father and said happily: "Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father, cast into a divine sword, if the first sword changes its name today, my Imperial Sword Villa will dominate the martial arts, just around the corner!"

Although the long sword is not equipped with a handle, it is enough to shock people.

Sun Qiangu held the black sword in his hand, observed it carefully, and felt more and more happy in his heart.

He took out the mountain-shaking sword at his waist, used enough internal force, and slashed towards the black sword!

When!

On top of the black sword, a crack was born.

Immediately after, the more cracks

The bigger it became, there was a bang, and the black sword was shattered.

Everyone present did not believe their eyes.

The sword made of the hardest red essence and dark iron in the world did not withstand the blow of the mountain-shaking sword.

Leaving the fire cave, there was a cry like Sun Shaoming killing a pig.

Sun Qiangu, the most hidden great master in the martial arts, looked at the hilt of the black sword with his eyes and sat on the ground in a gloomy manner. He didn't understand how he couldn't understand that this peerless divine sword that he had forged with all the power of the mountain villa was so vulnerable.

Looking at the broken hilt of the sword, Sun Qiangu cried like a child.

After a long time, he comforted himself and said, "This kind of divine weapon is against heaven and harmony, and it should not have appeared in this world." ”

......

Just when the sword was formed, Xiao Jinyan seemed to sense two mysterious powers in the sea of knowledge. These two forces, one red and one white, shot out from the Shaping Peak one after another, and the white light galloped towards the south, while the red light followed closely behind, entangled with it.

He practiced string power, and he could sense that within these two rays of light, there were countless spiritual powers of heaven and earth.

But Li Chengcheng and Zhao Lanjiang did not have this feeling.

The road up the mountain is only a few hundred zhang, but there are many outposts, and if you accidentally alarm the guards, you will definitely be chased by the Imperial Sword Villa.

Zhao Lanjiang asked, "I have a question, we know the Xuan Realm, we can sense things within a hundred zhang, then Sun Qian's ancient martial arts are so high, will we be detected as soon as we go up the mountain?"

This is indeed a problem, Li Chengcheng said, "You still claim to be a master, and it is very exhausting to explore the surrounding environment, unless you are in a state of vigilance or vigilance, even if you are a master of the general image, you will not use internal force to probe at every turn, there is so much noise around you, and you are not upset." In the past, there was a senior who practiced to pass the image realm and poked out the true yuan for more than ten miles, only to find out that his wife was cheating on someone else. ”

Xiao Jinyan said that there were such strange things, and asked, "How is that senior?"

Li Chengcheng sighed and said, "It's dead." ”

The predecessor that Li Chengcheng said was his third uncle, and he was also the person who had the best relationship with him in the older generation, but under the pressure of the family, he finally killed himself in the back mountains, and even the body was not found, and finally built a clothed tomb. The more wealthy and noble the valve, the more it is a place to hide dirt and dirt. The Li family in Jinling is famous all over the world, but who knows, and how many unknown secrets are there?

The three of them performed light skills and came to a short distance from the sentry guard, and inside the sentry guard, two people were drinking.

These two people are on duty today, the weather is cold and freezing, if there is no wine to help the fun, I am afraid that it will not be able to survive the dawn, the two of them are drinking and bragging, and they are already drunk. While the two were not paying attention, the three of them volleyed over the outpost and landed behind a boulder.

One said, "Who?"

"The third child, this eighth bowl of wine, admit defeat if you can't drink it, don't be ashamed, don't care about talking about him, make me surprised. ”

The man scolded, "Whoever the hell admits it, don't talk about eight bowls, drink eight more bowls, and I can get your daughter-in-law right when I turn around." The other person also scolded, "Then you have to ask your mother if you agree." The two men were so foul that they could not be heard, and when they saw that they were continuing to drink, they went forward.

Along the way, either with the sound of stones, or from the side cliffs, the three of them came to the last outpost.

Approaching the Imperial Sword Villa, inside the outpost, the five people stood straight like javelins, watching every move under the mountain. The three of them discussed in a low voice, this outpost is heavily guarded, and it is indeed difficult to go up without knowing it.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Who's there!"

The three of them said that they wanted to be exposed, and suddenly they saw a figure not far away, and they came to the outpost in an instant. The figure was dressed in black, and judging by his height and attire, it should be a woman.

When one of the guards saw this, he snatched the drum hammer and was about to beat the drum to warn, when the figure's fingers moved slightly, and five thistles were like lightning, hitting the center of the eyebrows of the five people.

The five fell with a bang.

The black shadow rushed towards the direction where Xiao Jinyan and the three of them were hiding, made a silent gesture, and jumped into the Imperial Sword Villa.

Xiao Jinyan felt that the person was familiar, and his heart flashed, and he said, "Dongfang Nuannuan?" But he had been with Dongfang for half a month, and knew that she had cold poison in her body, she didn't know any martial arts, and there was no internal force fluctuation on her body, but the woman's martial arts just now were far above them, so he immediately dispelled this idea.

Yujian Villa is built on a flat dam of several hundred acres in the middle of the mountainside, the building is magnificent and magnificent, and it is ancient and ancient, implying the principle of the five elements and gossip, which is not inferior to the gate valve of the four major families, it can be seen that when the villa was established, it took a lot of thought. It can be seen that the business of Edgeworth Villa is indeed excellent.

Inside the villa, the lights are bright.

Two days later, it was time for the sword appreciation meeting. Dozens of family members are very busy, overnight do not know the venue of the conference, now has begun to take shape, the venue is divided into three areas, the middle of the square is equipped with a ring, because Sun Qiangu said to meet friends with martial arts, and the sword of shaking the mountain as a color head, to the person who won the championship.

The three of them didn't dwell too much.

Wang Banxian told Xiao Jinyan that there was a person hidden in the dungeon in the back mountain, and he had to find an opportunity to kill this person, and he must not fall into the hands of those sword cultivators in Shujian Mountain, otherwise it would be a catastrophe in the world's martial arts. The three of them bypassed the mountain villa and came to the back mountain from a secluded place.

The back mountain is lined with ancient pine trees, and at the end of the trail, there is a cliff 100 zhang high.

The three of them walked around for a long time, but they didn't find the dungeon that Wang Banxian said, let alone the person in the dungeon. The three of them were about to return the same way, when they suddenly heard Sun Shaoming's voice from the bottom of the mountain, "Dad, I think tonight's incident is very bizarre, could it be that this old monster is playing ghost in it?"

The three of them were taken aback, and they didn't expect that at this time, Sun Qiangu and Sun Shaoming actually came to the back mountain.
