Chapter 368: Forge a sword
More than 20 years have passed, and the green willow alley in the south of Qingzhou has already undergone earth-shaking changes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe street scene here is very different from when the couple first moved in, but the biggest change is not the things and the environment, but the people.
Wang Po has been dead for many years, and even Lu Shu returned to heaven eight years ago. The old neighbors in the green willow alley in the south of the city are now no longer left except for Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu and his wife. At this moment, Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu's neighbors are already the next generation, and even the descendants who have passed two generations.
On this day, Huan Yin, who had already had white hair, and Ruan Shushu, who had become no longer beautiful due to old age, walked slowly in the green willow alley with their backs to the sunset.
The two of them had just gone for a walk, and by the way, they had bought some vegetables and were ready to go home and make dinner. The couple has been in Qingzhou City for more than 40 years, and more than half of the 80 years of Huafan that were originally planned have passed.
"Uncle Huan, did you come back after sneaking around with your aunt?" On the side of the street, a man in his forties greeted Huan Yin and his wife.
This person is the son of Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu's old neighbors, and he has always had a good relationship with them.
Huan Yin smiled and nodded: "It's good, go out and have a look, so you don't see it in the future!"
The man laughed: "Who in the south of our city doesn't know that your second elder is in good health, I think your second elder is going to run towards a hundred years old!"
Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu's tough bodies are already well-known in the south of the city, and they are old, the two old men have no children, no daughters, and no one to rely on, but they are still living well, and they are not much worse than young people in doing things.
It is also for this reason that the neighbors admire Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu very much, and they are known for their goodness, so the neighbors also respect them.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, the current Emperor Qingzhou, who is also the head of the Wuliang Gate, still comes to the courtyard of Huan Yin and his wife from time to time, and sits for half an hour for a short time, and stays for a whole day before leaving.
"Uncle Huan, the emperor is here, go and take a look. When Huan Yin and his wife walked not far from the gate of their yard, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the opposite side, it was Wang Po's youngest daughter talking to them.
Huan Yin and Ruan Shushu both said "oh", exchanged a few words with her, and then turned their heads to see Wei Qianlong.
Wei Qianlong is still a young man, which is the best proof that he has cultivation and is quite profound.
Huan Yin stepped forward to open the door of his house, and then walked in with Ruan Shushu and Wei Qianlong and closed the door.
"Got it?" Huan Yin smiled slightly, and the feeling of aging on his body suddenly decreased by half.
Wei Qianlong nodded, and took out a storage bag: "The things that the master wants are all in it, but what does the master want them to do?"
Huan Yin took the storage bag and swept it with his divine sense, and nodded: "Yu Bing Vine is less, you can find a way to find it." ā
Then he glanced at Wei Qianlong and continued: "These are all materials for forging swords, although the master didn't teach you to forge swords, you should be able to see it." ā
"These things, combined with what I have now, should make a good sword. I have been with your master for 80 years, and I have been forging swords every day, but they are all ordinary swords. ā
"So I thought, before I'm too old to walk, I can really forge an immortal sword during this mortal transformation period to see how far I can go. ā
Wei Qianlong was taken aback: "The master wants to cast an immortal sword!"
Huan Yin said: "You have been learning the Tao as a teacher for so many years, and now you can be regarded as a little cultivated. So I want to give you a fairy sword as a teacher to support the scene for you, the head of the Infinite Gate!"
Although Wei Qianlong's cultivation has made rapid progress under Huan Yin's teachings and his own efforts, Qingzhou has no Taoist system in the past, and naturally lacks immortal treasures. Now the fairy sword used by him, the head of the Infinite Gate, is just a four-grade fairy sword, and he still went to Linzhou to buy it, which is really a little unbearable.
Wei Qianlong knew that the master could forge a sword, and he also knew that the master's methods were clever and extraordinary. But he himself didn't know anything about forging swords, and he didn't know what kind of fairy sword the master could create when Huan Yin only cast ordinary swords.
Of course, it is even more impossible for him to take the initiative to ask his master for a sword after so many years, so he has never seen Huan Yin's sword-casting methods, and he has not had much expectations for his magic weapon.
Now Wei Qianlong was naturally very grateful, and bowed deeply to Huan Yin: "Master is kind, the apprentice really doesn't know how to repay it." ā
Huan Yin now finally understood the reason why Wei Bing had given him so many selfless contributions, so he replied: "Your hard work in cultivation is the best reward for me." ā
Then he went on to ask, "How many grades of immortal sword do you want?"
Wei Qianlong still knew a lot about the grade of the fairy sword now, and he hesitated after hearing Huan Yin's question. In fact, the fairy sword he wanted was the seven-pin, or the seven-grade fairy sword was what he dreamed of. However, he was afraid that this would embarrass the master, so he did not blurt out his wishes, and finally only said respectfully: "Master, disciple...... If the disciple can have a six-grade immortal sword, he will be very satisfied!"
Huan Yin laughed: "You kid, don't tell the truth." ā
Then he waved his hand again: "Okay, take the time to get some Yu Bing vines for the teacher, it doesn't need too much, it's good to have three feet long." I'm afraid that I will have to retreat for a period of time, so don't come to me if there is no urgency during this time, and ask your Heavenly Uncle and Master Niang about cultivation. ā
Wei Qianlong knew that Huan was probably concentrating on forging swords because of the retreat, so he bowed deeply again: "I'm tired of the master." ā
From that day on, Huan Yin began his retreat. However, he didn't really start forging the sword, but took out the superb phantom furnace that he bought at Yijian Peak back then, entered it and began to practice.
It's been so many years, and Huan Yin hasn't taken it seriously to forge a fairy sword for a long time. However, his current sword-forging attainments are far better than those before Huafan, and this is all due to the reason why he has insisted on building mortal swords every day over the years.
Sword casting, whether it is making mortals or refining immortals, is actually the same way, and there is no big difference. Even if the final result is different, it can be gained in terms of understanding and experience of forging swords.
Now that Huan Yin has been practicing for more than forty years, he feels that he seems to have the possibility of touching the realm of the Instrument Immortal. However, he is still unsure, so he wants to do his best to forge a sword and give his apprentice a good sword, which is also to prove himself!
Huan Yin stayed in the phantom furnace for two whole years and didn't come out, during which Wei Qianlong came to see it many times, and also brought the Yu Bing vine that Huan Yin wanted, but he never saw Huan Yin himself.
Two years later, Huan Yin came out of the phantom furnace, looking even older, his eyes red, and obviously exhausted. But at that time, his eyes were shining, and he was indescribably happy.
After Huan Yin came out, he slept for three days and three nights, and then began retreat again. This time, however, the place where he retreated was not the Furnace, but the deepest part of the earth, where he had previously absorbed the fire.
This time, he began to forge the sword in real time, and he didn't let anyone bother him in the slightest.
In this way, Huan Yin stayed in the depths of the ground for another ten years, and he never appeared in these ten years, not only Wei Qianlong had never seen him, but even Ruan Shushu and Xiaotian had not seen him.
One night ten years later, it was already dark, but the hour was not too late, the night market in Qingzhou City had just been rolled out, and the alleys in the city were full of city residents.
In the Infinite Gate, Wei Qianlong spread his legs cross-legged, stood up, and said to the hundreds of people in the hall: "As my Infinite Gate people, you must always keep in mind that the way of this world has no limit, and the magic in this world is not the strongest, everything is immeasurable. As long as you keep this in your heart, you will truly enter my Immeasurable Gate and understand the Tao of my Immeasurable Gate!"
The little disciple who looked to be only in his early ten years old stood up and bowed to Wei Qianlong, "Master, did you explore the Immeasurable Way yourself?"
Wei Qianlong shook his head: "I also have a master, he is unfathomable and unimaginable. ā
It was the first time for everyone to hear Wei Qianlong say that he had a master, and they were full of curiosity. In their hearts, the head of the house is already extremely strong, so what about the master of the head?
At this moment, suddenly the entire Dharma Hall began to shake, which shocked everyone in the hall.
At the same time, the entire Qingzhou City was centered on the Infinite Gate, and it was shaking within a radius of about five miles, as if a catastrophe was coming.
The people in the city had already looked flustered, and the disciples in the Infinite Gate Dharma Hall all looked at Wei Qianlong with shocked expressions, waiting for the judgment of the master.
"Come out with me and have a look!" Wei Qianlong immediately made a decision, and rushed out of the Dharma Hall with a group of disciples, and saw that in the square in the center of the Wuliang Gate, at this moment, a fiery red light rushed out from the ground, straight to the sky!
Everyone was stunned by this strange phenomenon, and kept pointing to the fiery red light and saying, some were frightened, some were curious, and some were shocked.
Not a single disciple of the Infinite Sect dared to approach that light, not even Wei Qianlong himself. For the coercion emanating from that light was too strong for any of them to resist.
Gradually, the citizens of Qingzhou also saw the fiery red light, like a pillar, so that the night sky was illuminated.
"It's the Infinite Gate, it's the mutation caused by the immortal master of the Infinite Gate, don't panic, it's our Emperor Qingzhou who is exerting great magical powers!" A mortal pointed to the pillar of light and shouted around.
Gradually, the ground stopped shaking, and everyone finally calmed down, looking at the pillar of light to see what would happen.
"Sword!" Suddenly, an old voice came from below the ground. The one who could hear it most clearly was the disciple of the Infinite Sect who was closest to the pillar of light, and they all widened their eyes one by one, wanting to know who the owner of this voice was. (To be continued.) )
