Chapter 19: The Secret of the Lotus Flower

Ye Xingchen, who was heading south all the way, was carrying a small burden on his back to the village, humming a little song, and he was in a very happy mood. Although the body felt a little heavy, it still couldn't hide the joy of reaching a higher level in the soul realm. At the same time, he also had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Ling'er, and if Ling'er didn't say anything, he would directly ask the old smoker why he was like this.

In this way, in Lishan Village, he met Niu Dalang, who gave him a dagger. It's just that Niu Dalang has his back to him.

Niu Dalang's family lived in the first few households at the village gate, and his father Niu Tai was a well-known blacksmith. Hence the metal fixtures that make the surrounding villages. From self-defense armor to iron shields against fierce beasts, fishing spears for fishing, daggers and fishing hooks are all made by Niu Tai. Because of this, Niu Tai's only son, Niu Dalang, is quite prestigious in the village.

The house of the Niu family is not very large, and it is no different from the houses of ordinary people in the village. The more special place is that there is a furnace with a diameter of about one meter next to the window at the entrance of the Niu family, the furnace is about one and a half meters high, the upper half meter is used to melt the metal on the top of the furnace, and the lower furnace is used for shaping and tempering various metal solutions circulating from above and downward. The entire furnace is running and produces a large amount of ash smoke.

At this time, Niu Dalang was watching Niu Tai cast a knife with a special shape.

Ye Xingchen thought of the dagger, and couldn't help but smile and pat Niu Dalang's back. The joke also started "Hey, Cowherd"

The former was stunned, obviously a little frightened, and suddenly patted his shoulder. After returning to see Ye Xingchen, his face improved, and he said with a smile, "Brother Ye, it's you, I haven't seen you for many days."

"What are you doing here?" Ye Xingchen nodded, looking at Niu Tai with a sweaty face, and his hand was constantly tapping the rudimentary scimitar under the stove.

The scimitar is only taking shape. The long knife is about half a meter. It is more than 30 centimeters untempered, golden yellow, emitting a trace of white smoke, and the temperature is very high. The remaining thirty centimeters have been tempered into a rudimentary form, only showing a silver-gray color, and there are still some deficiencies in the back of the knife. The whole body of the knife resembles an extended version of the full moon scimitar.

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Niu Dalang's forehead. "My dad is making knives." The employer asked the knife to be forged according to this diagram, and I am observing and learning one or two. ”

Ye Xingchen suddenly became interested, and he didn't expect that there were still people here who wanted to make a full moon scimitar. smiled and said, "Can you lend me the drawing?"

There are still differences between the full moon scimitar and ordinary knives. The shape also gives a different feeling to the user. For example, ordinary knives are clumsy to use, whether they make moves or block moves, the transmission of hand power is slower and less flexible. The Moon Scimitar is different, this type of scimitar is very flexible, and it is generally slightly faster than a normal knife when making moves. Although the gap may be slightly faster than.

But the reality is enough to affect the situation of the war.

You must know that the martial arts master's moves are nothing more than two confrontation modes, preemptive and last-strike. The first strike is to grasp the first opportunity, which is suitable for sneak attacks, and the attack is a surprise. The normal duel preemptive strike is also fast, accurate, and ruthless. The scope of application of the latter strike is blocking and dismantling

I don't know what the situation is in this place, but someone wants to make a knife of this shape, so maybe it is someone who has crossed over from that place like himself before?

Niu Dalang frowned and said, "Brother Ye, this is a little difficult to do, we can't leak the sketches drawn by the employer in this business, so..." Niu Dalang was refusing, Niu Tai below stopped, and said, "It's okay, Da Lang, it's okay to show this little brother Ye" The former had to take out the sketch and give it to Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen smiled and said, "Thank you," and immediately opened the two-fold sketch. The entire scimitar blueprint, slightly yellowed, was completely displayed in front of him.

In the upper left corner of the picture, write the four words of this scimitar sketch. Looking down, you see a side view of the entire scimitar.

Ye Xingchen sighed: "Sure enough, it looks the same as the full moon scimitar." Then he looked at Niu Tai and his son and asked, "Can you tell me the name of my employer?" Niu Dalang didn't speak yet, Niu Tai said, "Of course you can, it's just that the old man has cast a lot of weapons and armor recently, I'm afraid I don't have time to send a knife, the old man knows that Little Brother Ye is skilled, why don't you bother Little Brother Ye to send a knife for me when the knife is completed?"

"Old fox" Ye Xingchen scolded secretly, knowing the name of the employer, he had to run errands and waste his time, and then hesitated and said, "The junior also wants to send you a knife, but this time..." Implying that the father and son are paying for errands. At this time, it was Niu Tai's father's turn to scold this kid and the little fox. His face remained unchanged, and he said, "Little Brother Ye, don't worry, when I send the knife, my Niu family will give my little brother a hundred yuan, isn't this price satisfactory to my little brother?"

Ye Xingchen made an calculation in his heart, there was still twenty wen left in his pocket, he really should make extra money, but he didn't know the destination yet, let's count two days, fifty wen a day, counting eating and drinking, almost a day guaranteed profit of thirty wen, feasible, but I didn't expect this line of money to be so profitable? Ye Xingchen returned the drawings and said, "I don't know where the juniors should send them?" When will the knife be completed?"

Niu Tai laughed and said, "Little brother, don't worry, this knife will take three days to be made, but I will tell you." ”

... ...

Niu Dalang exchanged a few words with Ye Xingchen, and then went back to the old smoker's house.

The old smoker was not at home, and the moment Ye Xingchen entered the door, a shadow rushed out directly, and he hugged Ye Xingchen directly, and said coquettishly, "Dead Ye Xingchen, do you still know to come back?" I haven't seen you in the past few days, and even the title of Deng Disciple has been omitted? Ye Xingchen secretly laughed, and said, "Okay, Ling'er, don't you miss me?" I saw Ling'er trembling in his arms, and his face was slightly red, and he said, "Hmph, Deng Disciple"

It is impossible to say that Ling'er doesn't want Ye Xingchen, Ling'er has been a little distracted every day in the past few days. In the past, fishing was heroic, and when I came back, I played a basket of fish, but now when I go to sea, I look at the boundless sea on the sea in a daze, and when I come back, the basket is empty. can shout angrily from the old smoker who hasn't eaten fish for many days, "The woman is not staying, the woman is not staying"

Ye Xingchen naturally didn't know about these, he smiled, and said, "How is it, Ling'er, I'm a little hungry, do you have anything to eat at home?" Ling'er blinked her eyes wide, and said, "Grandpa went to play mahjong, what to eat... I'm going to go fishing. Immediately ignored Ye Xingchen and ran out.

"When the sun goes down, what kind of fish are you still fishing?" Ye Xingchen looked at the dusk outside, sighed, and said to himself, "It's okay to go home, Ling'er's girl didn't even fish?"

Soon after Ling'er left, the old smoker walked in with a swaggering cigarette in his mouth.

Naturally, I saw Ye Xingchen sitting at the head of the bed. couldn't help but snort, sat on the chair, and said, "You still know how to come back, I said that I will come back in three days, it took you so many days to come back? Have you gone to southern Xinjiang to get medicine?" Obviously, the old smoker was extremely angry when Ye Xingchen did not arrive as agreed. The eyebrows of that sloppy old face were about to stand up.

Ye Xingchen had no choice but to laugh and said, "I'm sorry, old smoker, it was indeed an accident, how did I know that I would meet a monk who had fallen into the devil when I went to get the Gui Xin Lian."

"What!" the old smoker suddenly stood up, and the sulky expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a thick and solemn color, "Who is the demon monk?"

Ye Xingchen smiled unknowingly, "Old smoker, is this matter so serious?" "Dong" The old smoker directly hit Ye Xingchen on the head with his pipe, and said, "You stupid boy, do you know? There are many sects in the entire continent, but the land is limited, there are many big sects that want to eat small sects, and super sects want to eat big sects, offending and annexing the rest of the sects will cause chaos in the entire cultivation realm, and it is easy to be attacked by a group, if you want to annex it, you need a justifiable reason." But if the monk has signs of becoming a demon or has already entered a demon, he will give other ill-intentioned sect masters a reason to become famous, understand?" After listening to the old smoker's explanation, Ye Xingchen suddenly said, "So that's the case," and then Ye Xingchen said again. On the same day, I went to the Qianyao Pharmacy in Qingtai Town to get Guixinlian, but I encountered three disciples of the Fire Sect robbing the pharmacy, and then I rescued it, and then Fu Tai, the big disciple of the Fire Sect, heard that I didn't have a master and fell into the demon inexplicably, after entering the demon, he was still very strong, but I was defeated by an over-the-shoulder fall, and finally I snatched the Guixin Lotus, almost that's it.

Although Ye Xingchen omitted the most difficult part and only kept a rough idea, the whole thing was not so simple, and only Ye Xingchen himself understood it. Not telling the old smoker is nothing more than not wanting the old smoker to worry too much. From the first time he opened his eyes to see the old smoker when he came here, Ye Xingchen had long associated his life-saving benefactor with his relatives in his heart.

The old smoker's old face frowned, "It turned out to be the Lihuo Sect?" and immediately looked at Ye Xingchen like a treasure, and saw the former's entire posture and the corners of his mouth twitching, and directly ignored Ye Xingchen's twitching corners of his mouth and said, "You broke through?" Ye Xingchen nodded, and suddenly said, "Old smoker, why did I suddenly become a fourth-layer qi cultivator?" Is it related to the Bone Refining Pill you gave me?" The old smoker smiled suddenly, and said, "I already knew that you would find it, but it's better not to tell you now, and I'll tell you later." If someone asks you, you can just say that you don't have a master. "Now Ye Xingchen's cultivation is so much, it's not enough for others to see at all.

The old smoker won't tell Ye Xingchen, let me tell you, Ye Xingchen, you can do this mainly because of the lotus seal in your body. The lotus seal is a mark that only one in a million cultivators can have, and you will be very worried about it in the future, right?

The Lotus Seal is the product of the birth of the rules of heaven and earth. One in a million, it is used to greatly improve internal cultivation, soul, and physical cultivation. And it has the ability to fight against the level of the ultimate tribulation success rate several times higher than others! Originally, it was born in accordance with the way of heaven, but the monk's cultivation was against the sky, so the lotus seal is also called an alien. The lotus seal is a kind of monk's soul, body, and cultivation as a medium, and with the progress of the soul and body, the lotus seal can be outlined in the form of points, lines, and surfaces.

When the lotus seal is connected into a surface, you can see the color of the lotus seal. According to the color to judge the cultivation, the general color green, blue, gold. Usually the lotus seal is the body, the soul, when the cultivation is awakened, once awakened, the strength can skyrocket!

Even when each item is up to standard, it can be compared to the Quartet when awakened
