Chapter 4: A Sword
"How... Feel a little hot? After removing two pieces of firewood, the bonfire shouldn't be so strong, right?" Chang Xi twisted the clothes that were wet on his back and were tightly attached to his back, wiped off a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but wonder.
The bonfire in the center of the cave is not very hot, but the whole cave is steaming like a furnace.
The outside of the stone cave was pitch black, but at this time, it slowly became brighter, and a golden light shone on the edge of the stone cave, which was very dazzling.
"It's dawn? How is this possible? It's only been two hours at night, and it's still early before dawn, what is this?" A series of strange things made Chang Xi very puzzled, took off his sweaty shirt, revealed his rather refined upper body and walked to the entrance of the stone cave, and just wanted to get out to find out, his palm inadvertently pressed on the smooth rock wall of the stone cave entrance. The astonishing heat pierced Chang Xi's palms, the corners of his eyes jerked violently, and he almost stepped out of the cave and subconsciously paused.
The dazzling golden light outside the cave mouth suddenly soared, and the temperature inside the stone cave was as hot as a boiling boiler in an instant, and an astonishing heat wave swept through the outside of the cave entrance, and the sound of a huge wind whirring seemed to tear the small stone mound apart.
Chang Xi was frightened and hurriedly ran back to the innermost side of the stone cave in three steps and two steps, scooping up his already soaked clothes and wrapping himself tightly.
The surging heat almost made me faint. In a trance, every moment and every breath seems to be infinitely stretched. Chang Xi bit his lip fiercely with his teeth, wisps of blood secreted from his mouth, and the sweet smell of blood spread in his mouth, holding on to the last trace of Qingming.
The wooden sign in the pocket of the garment gave off a faint green glow at this moment, and this green glow was inconspicuous in the stone cave full of golden light. But because of the appearance of this green mang, although the whole stone cave is still so hot, the temperature has not risen again.
Just when Chang Xi could barely support it anymore, the surging golden light outside the cave entrance finally quickly dissipated like the tide of the ebb tide, and returned to the familiar night. The rumbling wind overhead also fell silent at this moment, and the burning chest cavity was finally able to inhale air at a normal temperature. The wooden sign in the clothes also converged at this moment, and the faint green light fell silent again.
Chang Xi, whose eyes were blurred, subconsciously threw off the sticky clothes on his body, and crawled to the door of the stone cave with his hands and feet. The cold wind blowing a little chill outside the entrance of the cave dried his sweat profusely, and his groggy brain gradually woke up.
Chang Xi picked up a curled charred black leaf beside him, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened. If such a terrible heat wave had just come out of the hole, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Huh... Shout... Phew"
Chang Xi, who was resting on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, stared at each other, and his expression suddenly became alert, he was very familiar with the sound of this kind of sharp object cutting through the air, something was coming here!
Chang Xi turned over neatly and covered his whole body behind the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, only revealing half of his head, his breathing slowed down, and he touched the sharp blade in his hand, paying full attention to the surrounding environment.
"Whew!"
A very fine silver light streaked through the air, refracting a little bit of crystal light in the light of the moon. The speed of the silver light became slower and slower, and it passed through Chang Xi's field of vision silently in the night sky, and flew straight towards a mountain not far away. With an imperceptible sound, it vanished.
“... It flies slower than an arrow, and it doesn't look like anything dangerous. It's just that... That feeling... Exactly... Is it my delusion?"
After the silver light completely disappeared on the mountain, Chang Xi slowly walked out from behind the stone wall, scratching his still wet hair and muttering.
It was a really strange feeling.
Chang Xi lowered his head and closed his eyes, carefully reminiscing about the feeling when he saw the silver light. From time to time, strange expressions flashed on his face with his eyes closed.
"yes, that's what it feels like! it's looking at me! I'm looking at it, it's looking at me!"
Chang Xi opened his eyes abruptly and exclaimed in a low voice. Because of this incredible thought, my back, which was already dry, was scared out of a cold sweat.
"And there was always a sense of indescribable anxiety in that silver light... I don't know if my brain is burning... That hill isn't too far, let's go check it out... It's really unwilling to look at it really. ”
Chang Xi, who was determined to find out, simply cleaned up, extinguished the bonfire, and turned around and walked into the night.
......
"This mountain, it doesn't look high, why is it so difficult to climb!"
Chang Xi complained to himself while carefully observing the mountain with the help of the faint moonlight, looking for traces of the silver light.
At this moment, this mountain was already devastated by the scorching golden light of Fang Cai. The trees that had spread all over the mountains were burned to the point of char by the terrifying heat, and most of the leaves were burned to ashes, and only a few plants that were extremely heat-tolerant survived.
"Huh?"
Chang Xi, who was climbing to the top of the mountain little by little, couldn't help but sigh softly. He was clasping the crevice in the rock to find a way to climb with his right hand, which touched a very narrow hole.
Chang Xi moved to the right to balance his body a little, and carefully examined this strange little hole. Reaching out and touching it carefully, I was surprised to find that the opening of this narrow hole was extremely neat, as if it had been formed by some extremely sharp object directly penetrating it.
"Sharp stuff... The incision is new, and it should have happened recently. Could it be that it was caused by the silver light just now?" Chang Xi couldn't help but stare in his eyes, the astonishing sharpness of the silver light could penetrate the mountain, how terrifying it should be?
Before he could finish speaking, the bare hill shook violently without warning. The huge rock under Chang Xi's feet suddenly shattered like tofu in his incredible eyes. Chang Xi, whose body was out of balance, was not too flustered, gritted his teeth when he fell into the air, kicked his feet on a smooth gravel behind him, and slammed his body on the ground with a trace of momentum.
Chang Xi felt that this smash had shifted his internal organs, and he felt indescribable pain all over his body. The whole person curled up on the ground and gasped for breath, unable to move for a long time.
After a while, the quiet moonlight shone into the small cave. Chang Xi, who was lying down, got up from the ground with a chirp, gently rubbed his shoulder that seemed to be broken, and grinned again.
Chang Xi rubbed his shoulders while looking at the small cave, thinking about how to get out, and when his gaze inadvertently swept over the end of the moonlight, the hand that was rubbing his shoulders couldn't help but stop, and the whole person froze.
There's a sword in that.
Chang Xi slowly approached little by little, carefully examining the strange sword.
This is a sword with a very peculiar shape.
The tip of the sword plunged deep into the cracked rock. There is no sword grid, the whole body is narrow and slender, crystal like jade, reflecting pure white light in the light of the moon.
"The size of this narrow sword body is very consistent with the thin silver light, and the color is exactly right. It should be that. But that feeling before... Now there is none. Chang Xi recalled the appearance of that silver light, and finally decided that this thin sword was the silver light he had just seen.
Chang Xi walked to the thin sword, and the hand that reached out to the thin sword trembled as if he wanted to withdraw it, but the hand was still reluctant to give up after all, so it froze there. The shifting expression on his face showed his inner struggle.
This rapier is an extraordinary product at a glance. What kind of sword has such a strange shape and can still fly in the sky? At least Chang Xi has never seen it.
But such a sword from the immortal family must have its owner. The identity of the person who can wield this sword must be extraordinary. If you take this sword away, what if someone else comes to you afterwards?
"But Qinglan Immortal Master is a person from Qingyun Mountain, and in Qingyun Mountain... Most of them are immortals with swords. If I can worship Qingyun Mountain, I am afraid that I will also learn swords in the future. If I don't have a good sword by my side, won't I always lag behind others in the future? My conditions are really poor, if I want to get ahead, I can only rely on myself to fight for it!" The hesitant look on Chang Xi's face gradually faded, and he stretched out his right hand to hold the somewhat cold hilt of the sword, and slowly pulled it out.
"What a sharp sword!"
Chang Xi thought that it would take some effort to pull out the tip of the sword when it was stuck in the stone, but he never thought that the sharpness of the sword was far beyond his imagination. As the blade of the sword slowly sliced through the stone, the hard stone was easily broken like tofu.
When the tip of the sword was completely drawn, the pain from his left arm made Chang Xi's right hand holding the thin sword tremble slightly. There was no protection between the hilt and the blade, and the tiger's mouth of his right hand lightly touched the blade, and a bloody mouth was pulled out in an instant.
The blood flowing from the tiger's mouth dripped past the blade, and the first drop of blood that touched the blade was directly integrated into the sword body, and the crystal sword body flashed an extremely dim white light and became the same as before. The pain in the tiger's mouth attracted Chang Xi's attention for the first time, and he had no chance to see this strange scene.
"I'm afraid it's not your sword that has any temper, right? Give me such a dismount as soon as you come up!" Chang Xi couldn't help but feel a little funny, he always encountered some strange things, and now he is more and more open.
Sucking the blood on the tiger's mouth with his mouth, Chang Xi felt that it was time to give this sword a name.
"Look at you so delicate and beautiful, and you still exude a beautiful rainbow light in this moonlight, that... I'll just call you Yuehong, okay! Yuehong! It's so good!"
Chang Xi put the moon rainbow in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more he loved it, just like the naughty child who once took the iron willow bow from his father.
"Yuehong's delicate sword is in my hands, it will definitely be coveted by those villains outside, I still have to wrap you up, so as not to cause extraneous branches. ”
Chang Xi happily picked up all his clothes and spread them on the ground and wrapped them in a cylinder, carefully placed Yuehong in the middle, and then happily lifted them.
I only heard a "bang" sound that cut through the cloth, and Yuehong inserted it into the ground again as at the beginning, and the clothes in her hands were neatly cut in half and scattered on the ground.
Chang Xi looked at the scene in front of him blankly, and didn't come to his senses for a long time.
"That's all my clothes! Oh my God!"
The boy's terrible roar spread out in the desolate mountains.
