Chapter 11: Gintama Under the Moon
Finally about to officially practice swordsmanship, as soon as Xiao He closed his eyes, it was as if he saw a person standing at the end of the earth with a sword in his hand, and thousands of people kneeling on one knee below, with swords of different sizes in front of him, shouting together:
"Long live Emperor He Jiandi!"
At this time, Xiao He, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help laughing to himself, if someone was here, he would definitely think that this person was crazy.
Xiao He was extremely excited, and he almost couldn't sleep all night, so he had to sit cross-legged on the bed and continue to repair and perfect his soul core, until late at night.
When I woke up the next day, I suddenly found that the sun was shining on my face, and because it was too dazzling, I turned over again and continued to sleep.
In the past, Xiao He arrived early, but he didn't arrive at this point, and Zhao Kaiyang was also aware of it, and he knew that He was still sleeping through the soul power imprint. immediately changed his face, and shouted angrily directly:
"Boy, how long are you going to let the old man wait?ah~ You are limited to arrive within forty minutes, if you don't know, you can go and ask others to forge the sword yourself." Also, double the difficulty of training, and I'll let you know what hell on earth is!"
"Ah~ Master, I know it's wrong, last night, when I heard that I was taught swordsmanship today, I was too excited, so I'll go. You must help me forge my sword, I don't trust other people's craft. Please do well, the old man, don't dare next time. ”
After hearing this, Xiao He also felt cold in his heart, and when he saw that there was no one around, he was a little crazy, and hurriedly pleaded.
Then he immediately got up, picked up the stone frame and began to run all the way, making dust all the way, and several people were also frightened into the bushes, and scolded him directly:
"Bastard boy, you're in a fucking hurry to reincarnate, don't die!"
"I'm sorry big brothers, if I don't hurry up, I guess I'll really be reincarnated later. ”
When the men heard this, they held out their hands to his departing back, and then raised their middle fingers.
Xiao He shook his head helplessly, and didn't say anything more, just continued to rush forward. When he arrived panting, Zhao Kaiyang, who was sitting on the stone platform, also slowly opened his eyes, then closed them again, and said coldly:
"You're here. ”
"Hey hey~ a little late"
Xiao He also realized that this old guy was probably angry, smiled embarrassedly, immediately put down the stone frame, and hurriedly ran onto the stone platform. Then he was thrashed left and right, blowing up and down, pretending to be flattering.
When Zhao Kaiyang saw it, he also looked helpless, waved his hand, told him to stop and recover first, and then said:
"The sword spirit is not an ordinary sword that can be awakened, like the handmade sword you hold in your hand, because it can only be called a cold piece of iron. And the soul sword needs to use heaven and earth as a furnace, forge a sword with soul power, and the sword forged under the nourishment of the aura of heaven and earth and the soul power of the human body can be given a soul! And not everyone who has soul power can do it, and it must reach the level of sword commander or above! Like those who were born in the sword sects of various sects on the mainland, they naturally do not worry about getting the soul sword if they have a strong person above the sword commander, but this does not mean that everyone can get it, after all, forging the soul sword also requires a lot of precious earth materials and soul power. And those who practice independently, they can only obtain it by cultivating themselves to reach the level of sword commander, or under a certain chance, obtain some soul swords left by fallen powerhouses. However, the sword spirits in the soul swords of some strong people are also powerful and abnormal, and they are not just accepted by others, and they may kill people because of this!"
Xiao He was also shocked, he had always thought that the iron sword in his hand could awaken the sword spirit, and he was only willing to take it out until he took it out, but now he suddenly felt very embarrassed.
However, he is also ashamed, after all, a soul sword is so rare, and it must be a strong sword commander level to forge it. He was still late in the morning, which disappointed the master, and suddenly felt that he was not good, and wasted his hard work.
Thinking of this, Xiao He suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and said respectfully:
"Master, please accept the apprentice's worship, in this life and this life, you are my living father! I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. ”
When Zhao Kaiyang saw Xiaohe suddenly like this, he couldn't stand it for a while, and he was also very moved in his heart. So he bent down slightly to help him up, and said affectionately:
"Since the teacher has said that he will teach you with all his might, he will naturally not break his word. You don't have to make such a big gift, I can't afford it. You still have a long way to go, I can't accompany you down, one day you will fly by yourself!"
Then, Zhao Kaiyang patted him on the shoulder, glanced at him, turned around and continued:
"Okay, I won't talk about more. This is when I traveled in the Sword Soul Continent before, I happened to encounter a piece of Falling Iron from the Outer Heavens, combined with the rare crystals I collected before, I think it should be able to forge a soul sword with excellent texture. In the next few days, I will help you forge the soul sword, you can cultivate by yourself, you can't be lazy, if I see you being lazy, then you can wait to forge it yourself in the future. However, you also have to help me protect the Dharma, and it is not a good thing to be disturbed by others when forging the soul sword. ”
After hearing this, Xiao He was also very grateful and excited in his heart, nodded directly at Zhao Kaiyang, and then said:
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely cultivate hard, and protect the Fa for you, and I will never let anyone disturb you to forge your sword!"
After Zhao Kaiyang heard this, he also hummed, and then his body floated, and he flew directly into a cave on the wall of the cave, and with a move, a boulder flew to the entrance of the cave to cover the cave, so that people could not see that there was a cave there.
Xiao He looked at Zhao Kaiyang's disappearing figure, and he didn't stay too long, and he also began to concentrate on cultivation to stabilize his promotion realm.
After a while, Xiao He was ready to start absorbing the aura of heaven and earth cross-legged, so as to activate the meridians on his body. But I found that all the aura of this heaven and earth converged to the cave on the wall, and I couldn't grab a single one!
Suddenly, he was also amazed, this is the strength of a sword immortal-level powerhouse, it is terrifying, it is really not comparable to himself, and he can't even grab a trace of aura.
Helpless, he had no choice but to run outside the cave and start a day of hard cultivation.
After Zhao Kaiyang sealed the entrance of the cave, he took out materials such as Extraterrestrial Meteorite, Chilian Amethyst and Emery Ink Sand from the ring he wore on his hand, and then controlled the soul power to generate flames and began to melt the meteorite and Chilian Amethyst and other materials.
Under the scorching of the soul power flame, after a while, the forging materials floating in front of Zhao Kaiyang began to bubble, waiting for them to completely melt into dark ink, purple and other viscous liquids, and then mixed them with soul power, and at the same time increased the soul power flame to burn, incinerating the impurities in these materials.
Eventually, they melted into a silvery white, dreamy-looking wriggling slime.
The next step is to start controlling the size and temperature of the soul flame, so that the fused liquid will slowly solidify, and continue to deliver the heaven and earth aura just collected into the forging liquid, which can be regarded as the nourishment of the sword spirit.
At the same time, it is also necessary to control the soul power hammer to percussion and forging, which is the most critical process, and it is necessary to control the strength to make the forged soul sword uniform in texture and give birth to a strong sword spirit!
Xiao He, who was sweating profusely, looked at the still closed hole, at this time it was dark outside, and there was still no movement in Zhao Kaiyang.
On this day, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, afraid that Zhao Kaiyang's soul power probe would stop forging the sword if he knew that he was lazy, and it would be worth the loss. He himself also hopes that he will become stronger soon, so he is always desperately practicing strength and soul power.
He was also very much looking forward to what his exclusive soul sword would look like, and secretly looked into the cave from time to time, but unfortunately the entrance of the cave was still closed.
That night, he did not go back to the house on the hillside, and chose to stay here for fear of being disturbed.
On the second night, he looked at the still closed door of the cave, and began to feel a little helpless, and even began to worry that something would happen to Zhao Kaiyang.
He himself didn't expect that the process of forging the soul sword was so tiring, Zhao Kaiyang didn't move for more than thirty hours, looking at the closed hole, he had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, sighed, and continued to cultivate.
Finally, at dusk on the third day, the sky became a little darker. Suddenly, a loud noise came from the silent cave sky, breaking the tranquility of heaven and earth!
At this moment, a dazzling white light erupted from the cave behind the giant waterfall, and the huge pillar-like light instantly lit up the entire mountain forest, as if it were day.
There were also many people in the Zhao Mansion who saw it, and they thought that there was an invasion of some strong person, which made them extremely nervous.
However, later they found out that it was from Zhao Kaiyang's place of cultivation, and they no longer dared to disturb it, for fear of affecting the Sword Immortal's retreat and cultivation, and the consequences were not something they could afford!
At this time, Xiao He was still dragging the boulder bare-chested, and when he saw white light erupting from the cave, even the entire mountain began to shake.
Suddenly, my heart was also happy, and the only thought in my heart was that my soul sword was born! Quickly brushed the sweat off his face, and rushed directly into the cave to find out.
Xiao He locked his eyes on the stone cave on the wall as soon as he saw that the sealing stone of the cave had been shaken away and disappeared.
At this time, there was a tall and strong figure sitting in the cave, and in front of him was a sword that glowed with silver light, constantly spinning, illuminating all the dark places in the cave, which looked a little ethereal and delicate.
Xiao He saw that Zhao Kaiyang was still sitting cross-legged and closed his eyes, and he couldn't make too much movement, lest the merit collapse.
After a while, the sword began to stop turning, and the light from the blade slowly dissipated. Zhao Kaiyang, who was sitting cross-legged, also slowly opened his eyes, and with a wave of his big hand, the silver sword broke through the air and flew towards Xiao He.
He also took a sneer, and rolled directly on the ground a few times to get up. Then he raised the sword in his hand to observe carefully, and grinned at Zhao Kaiyang in the cave, and said:
"Master, this is my soul sword?"
I saw Zhao Kaiyang nodding slightly, then drifting down from the hole, and appeared in front of Xiao He in a blink of an eye, holding up the sword in his hand with his fingertips to look at it, and then said slowly:
"I'll help you forge like this first, and if you encounter rare materials again in the future, you can continue to forge and further strengthen them. However, this sword is enough for you to use to the level of Sword Shuai, and you can also strengthen it on your own at that time. Okay, I should rest too, I guess it will take a day or two, and tomorrow you will be familiar with this soul sword. ”
After that, he didn't stop any longer, and flew away directly on the giant sword.
Xiao He also respectfully watched the figure gradually disappear in the night sky, and then looked down at the silver sword in his hand again, and said to himself:
"Is this my soul sword? I see that you are covered in silver light in the moonlight, so I will call you "Silver Soul under the Moon"! That is, "Silver Soul" for short!"
The soul sword seemed to respond, and in the moonlight, the silver light flashed.
