Chapter 61: Sword Forging Genius
Before starting to tell the story, An Shiqing asked:
"Do you know Sword Furnace Mountain?"
"Sword Furnace Mountain, who doesn't know!" Cheng Jin rushed ahead of everyone and said, "Sword Furnace Mountain is a flame mountain, there is no grass on the mountain, and it is extremely hot all year round!
"Sword Furnace Mountain, full of holes. The sores are either naturally formed or artificially chiseled. Each sore hole is a crater with a lot of magma that doesn't cool all year round. Those magma are extremely special, and if the hardest metals are thrown into it, they can also be refined instantly, and even many intangible things can be refined. An Shiqing said as he walked, walked to the stone bench, sat down and continued, "Those large and small craters are all natural sword-casting furnaces. You've probably all heard that Sword Furnace Mountain is a good place to craft divine weapons. It used to be like this—I really want you to see the prosperity of Sword Furnace Mountain hundreds of years ago..."
Pei Yunling couldn't help but interrupt her: "The county lord said... Have you ever seen the prosperity of Sword Furnace Mountain hundreds of years ago?"
"I've seen..."An Shiqing lowered his eyes, then raised his eyes and got back to business, "But that's not the point I'm going to talk about!"
The story continues –
"Every mountain has two sides, yin and yang. Sword Furnace Mountain is no exception. The clan that lives in the sword furnace mountain yang side is the mountain yang clan. On the yin side is the Sanyin tribe that everyone knows. For thousands of years, the two clans, each guarding one side, have been at peace with each other.
The ancestors of the Shanyin clan and the Shanyang clan were all swordsmiths, and they each had a set of forging methods for divine weapons. The forging techniques of the two clans have their own merits. But at that time, many people thought that the sword forging method of the Sanyin clan was far superior to that of the Shanyang clan.
More than 300 years ago, there was a sword-forging madman in the Shanyang clan, who was determined to forge a unique blade in the world, a peerless sword that could compare all the divine weapons in the world. However, the forging technique of the Shanyang clan could not satisfy him.
So, he crossed the Sword Furnace Mountain, from the yang side of the mountain to the yin side, to the Shanyin clan to seek a new forging technique. The people of San'in accepted him and taught him some of the art of blacksmithing. He also brought the forging techniques of the Sanyang clan to the Sanyin clan.
He has mastered the forging techniques of the two clans and is in his own right. The artifacts it creates are also rare products. He used his life's learning to restore two ancient artifacts, and he became famous for a while. The emperor built a sword-casting villa for him in Sword Furnace Mountain.
At the time, he was unique. But what he has gained and what he has learned is not satisfied with him. He had never forgotten his original wish, but he also knew in his heart that it was not enough to forge a peerless sword with his ability at that time.
Soon after, another genius appeared in the San'in clan who integrated the forging techniques of the Sanyang and San'in clans, and even forged a work that no swordsmith could surpass until today.
The madman gradually realized that the San'in clan had not taught him the art of forging. He found an opportunity to secretly learn the part of the forging secret technique that the Sanyin people kept for him. Feeling that his ability was enough, he privately set up a sword-casting furnace in Sword Furnace Mountain, collected the best Xuanyin iron in the world, and began his crazy move-
After that, the people of the Sanyin tribe began to disappear inexplicably, at first it was just one or two, then three or four, five or six, and more and more people disappeared. The San'in clan thoroughly investigated this matter and found that the madman actually used their San'in tribe's people to cast a sword furnace..."
"Sacrifice the living!?"
Hearing this, everyone gasped.
An Shiqing continued: "The madman's conspiracy was discovered, but it was too late. Next, he captured almost all the people of the Shanyin tribe alive, and brought them to the sword-casting furnace he had set up privately, driving the people of the Shanyin tribe into his sword-casting furnace one by one. Men and women, young and old, old and weak, women and children, have not escaped the fate of the sword furnace of the sacrifice..."
"That man is crazy!" Cheng Jin's eyes were red, and he was very sad and angry.
"That person was born with a member of the Shanyin tribe and sacrificed a peerless sword. His wish was finally granted, but at the moment when the peerless sword came out, he was also the first soul under that sword. That sword is the Demon Lord Lin Han's - life, spirit, and destruction. ”
"Death of the living!?" Xie Liubin exclaimed.
"This is how the destruction of living beings is forged..."Qiao Song lamented.
An Shiqing looked at everyone, "Seeing the clansmen die in front of me one by one, but I can't do anything, all the feelings of powerlessness and helplessness will turn into deep resentment - Lin Han, that's how he fell into the devil." What if you were in the same situation?"
The crowd was silent.
Only Lin Jianchi was mourning in silence for the clansmen in the story told by An Shiqing.
Suddenly, someone questioned An Shiqing's story: "County Lord, what you said, it shouldn't be that you made it up! Although there is indeed a Shanyin clan, where is the Shanyang clan you said in Zhongzhou? I have never heard of it!"
An Shiqing smiled disapprerovingly and said: "More than three hundred years ago, the Shanyang clan avoided this matter, drew a clear line with that madman, and changed the name of the clan, which is now the Yanyang Zhu clan. ”
"What!?The predecessor of the Yanyang Zhu clan is actually the Shanyang clan!?"
Among the disciples who came to Qingtai to listen to the school this time, there seems to be a son-in-law of the Yanyang Zhu clan!
Who's here?
"Dude, is what the county lord said true?"
Someone asked Yanyang Zhu's Zhu Zhihua for verification.
Zhu Zhihua, who seemed to be looking for a crack in the ground, showed embarrassment, and said vaguely: "You don't know the old things more than three hundred years ago, how can I know!"
An Shiqing brushed his hand and said:
"It's been more than 300 years, and some things haven't left a trace. Nine times out of ten, the spirit swords that can be called are from the hands of the Shanyin clan. The San'in clan has a peculiarity that they will engrave the word 'yin' on every sword they cast.
Sect Master Pei's 'Liufang', Second Brother Pei's 'Qingge', Pei Xiaosi's 'Qingquan', Xie Xiaogongzi's 'Zhaoyun', Chai Sangqiao's Little Sixth Master's 'Zangfeng', and the Emperor's 'Mystery' passed on to my prince's brother, the list goes on.
Some people shy away from that period of history and erased the word 'yin' from the face of the sword. There will still be traces of erasure on the sword. If you see someone with such a mark on their sword, then that sword is also the work of the San'in clan. ”
Yan Zhen squeezed in front of An Shiqing, "County Lord, I saw Ling Gongzi's frost and cold before, and his sword has a 'yin' character on one side and a 'cold' character on the other. Is that frost sword also forged by the people of the Shanyin tribe?"
An Shiqing looked at Ling Xiao, "Ling Xiao, do you know the origin of your sword?"
Ling Xiao said: "When my grandfather passed on the frost and cold to me, he said that this sword was the peerless work of a craftsman in the Shanyin clan. Could it be that it has another story?"
An Shiqing asked Lin Jianchi again: "Lin Jianchi, do you know?"
Lin Jianchi pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The county lord said just now that at that time, the people of the Shanyin clan came up with a sword-casting genius who integrated the forging techniques of the Shanyang and Shanyin clans. The frost came from the hand of that genius. Sword Furnace Mountain is the extremely hot place of the Middle Continent, but he forged the Frost Sword in the extremely cold land. Until now, no one knew how he forged this sword in the Extremely Cold Land. ”
An Shiqing continued: "The genius swordsmith who forged Frost and Cold is the Demon Lord before entering the demon - Lin Han. ”
Everyone was shocked, and they all went to one place.
An Shiqing followed everyone's gaze
They cast their surprised gazes on Ling Xiao and his sword, Frost Cold.
An Shiqing's voice sounded again: "Now, do you still think that the Lin Jianchi of the Shanyin Clan is a crooked way of evil demons?"
"Lin Jianchi, He Gu!" Xie Liubin was upset for the people of the Shanyin tribe in his grief and indignation, "He Gu of the Shanyin people who were sacrificed to cast the sword furnace by life! If it were me, I would see my father, my mother, and my people destroyed, I am afraid that I would also fall into the devil! Ouch-"
There was a hard hit on the head.
This familiar feeling—
Xie Liubin screamed in pain, covered his head and looked at Xie Huaiguang.
Sure enough, he saw his old father blowing his beard and glaring at him.
Xie Huaiguang doesn't beat him, who does he beat?
What kind of father's family was destroyed, saying such disrespectful words in front of his father, it was simply looking for a fight!
