Volume 1 The Storm of the Academy Chapter 9 Soul Eater Silver Soul

Donghai Academy, the hinterland under the corridor of the emerald green corridor bridge is a clear small lake rippling with green waves, around the lake there are several pavilions for students to enjoy the shade and watch the scenery, Gu Tianxiao is lying on the bench in the pavilion at this time panting, there are four light yellow texture of spiritual energy charms on the long wooden table next to the bench, from the Jiazi Courtyard has been here, Gu Tianxiao can be regarded as a small life. At this time, the glutinous rice was jumping in the small lake, a "rat planing" style, a "dead fish" style, swimming around the lake in a chic manner, and it was very happy.

"After walking the glutinous and resting, walking up this step is to manage the Zhailou, and Master Gu Tie is on it. Gu Tianxiao pointed to the granite steps along the middle bank of the lake leading to the management building. Gu Zi jumped out of the water a little reluctantly, shook his wet hair, and jumped onto Gu Tianxiao's shoulder.

The management of the dormitory is the place where the students of the college prepare their classes and stay, and each resident master will have a house, almost two rooms. At this time, Master Gu Tie was in the easternmost house on the second floor, carefully examining the spirit sword in his hand, Gu Tian laughed at the relic of his father Gu Fei, "Soul Devourer".

Master Gu Tie is another peculiar existence in the Ancient Sword Sect, and it seems that Master Gu Tie has been there for a long time. But for the Ancient Iron Master, the disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect didn't seem to know anything except that he was a master of striking iron and forging swords, and perhaps it was because the flying sword he created was so famous that it covered up everything else. It's just that Master Gu Tie doesn't look like an iron striker at all, a gentle middle-aged and elderly Confucian appearance, his long hair is still black and bright, and he often wears only a small knot behind him, and he doesn't even have a beard, so Gu Tianxiao always thought that he was a teacher when he was a child.

"Master Gu Tie, it's me, Tianxiao. Gu Tianxiao walked to the door and knocked softly.

"Oh my God, come in. The gentle voice of the Ancient Iron Master came from inside the room.

Gu Tianxiao pushed the door in, looked at the still unchanged Gu Tie Master, stretched out his hand and bent down respectfully, "Grandpa Gu, it's still like this, Tianxiao has seen grandpa." ”

"Well, you kid is still so sweet," Master Gu Tie said with a smile, and then glanced at the glutinous man lying on Gu Tianxiao's shoulder and said meaningfully, "It's hard for you, little goblin, Heaven is diligent, and there will be a day when you will break the shackles." ”

The koji scratched his small mouth with his front paws, called a few "chirps", and turned over again to "doze off".

Master Gu Tie didn't care much about the reaction of the mouse, and directly handed the sword in his hand to Gu Tianxiao and said, "This is your father's natal flying sword 'Soul Eater', the old man has successfully repaired it into a spiritual flying sword, and now it is officially returned to you." ”

Gu Tianxiao solemnly took the spirit sword, made a gesture respectfully, and then looked at the sword. The whole body of the silver-white sword body glows with a slight cold light, not very long about two feet, the sword body is quite round and delicate, the snow-white sword grid bears a small and delicate inverted swallow shape, with a neat and symmetrical gooise, the light blue sword stem can be grasped, it is oblate, Gu Tianxiao can't see what material the entire sword handle is made of, and the sword body is integrated, but it is more like a knight's sword in the secular rivers and lakes, and there is a small conical glazed bead at the top of the sword handle, glowing with a trace of blue light.

"Xiaoxiao, this palace remembers that your father's flying sword is a three-foot long sword with a black body, and the width is more than double that of this sword, and the blade is extremely sharp, is this old man fooling you. The rice dumpling muttered in Gu Tianxiao's heart.

Gu Tianxiao had vague memories of these, but after holding this sword, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief. It was only Master Gu Tie's words that interrupted his thoughts.

"Tianxiao, your father's flying sword is taken from the Netherworld Cave Heaven, one of the Nine Great Cave Heavens, the name Soul Devourer, after killing the opponent, there is the domineering power of absorbing the soul of the dead to nourish the sword body to supplement the sword master, and those who are killed by this sword will completely disappear between heaven and earth. It's just that your father is a kind-hearted person, and he usually only uses his own swordsmanship to fight against the enemy, but even if you leave aside the soul devouring power of this sword, the material of this sword itself is rare in the world. ”

"Grandpa Gu, I remember that the Soul Eater is completely dark, and I always thought it was a magic sword before. Gu Tianxiao said as he stroked the light silver-white sword body.

"Strictly speaking, it is indeed a magic sword, but although the weapon is a murderous thing, it is still people-oriented," Master Gu Tie paced to the windowsill of the room, closed the originally open window, and then turned around and said, "Tianxiao, this time the aura of heaven and earth has changed, and you can now cultivate to the foundation building realm, I think you have already understood the truth of the change here." ”

"Yes, Grandpa Gu, if the aura of heaven and earth is represented by color, if the aura before the spiritual famine occurs is black, then the new aura of heaven and earth is white now, so when I saw this white sword body, I guessed the approximate repair process. Gu Tianxiao gently waved the Soul Devourer in his hand and said.

"Very good, the touch is bypassed, and the children can be taught," Master Gu Tie nodded lightly and continued, "Although the color is different, the essence is still the same, but the structure is different, Tianxiao, do you know why our Ancient Sword Sect's spirit sword can sell so well?"

Gu Tianxiao thought for a while and said, "Because there is no competition, and our Ancient Sword Sect's flying swords have always been of good quality and are in high demand." ”

"It's true that there was no competition in the early days, but soon there were actually other sects that released spirit swords, especially the forging and smelting of the hundred families of the princes, and the workmanship was not much better than our ancient sword sect, Tianxiao, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. It's just that before we sold it, we released a simple sword mantra adapted by the old man, as long as it is a spirit sword produced by our ancient sword sect, you can trigger the effect of simple traction and sending and receiving by this formula, although it is not a serious flying sword method, but in the previous period when all flying swords could only be used as secular swords, it can be said that it is a great temptation to have a spirit sword that can fly, which is the key to our ability to continue to have a high price before. And that mantra is the home remedy obtained by the old man after referring to the theory of the Mohists, and slightly modifying the basic traction mantra of the ancient sword outer gate, which is also based on this principle of black and white reversal. ”

"I see, Grandpa Gu is really a god, and he admires it with a smile. Gu Tianxiao praised sincerely.

Master Gu Tie waved his hand and said, "This is a small path that is not enough to worry about, but the academy's improvement of the theory of spiritual energy cultivation is indeed a feat for the benefit of the world, but it is just a bitter day to laugh at you dolls." Now that the monks have regained their cultivation method, although it is not enough to support the middle and upper three realms, after they can replenish their spiritual power, at least they can be regarded as worry-free. And this repaired Soul Eater Spirit Sword can also be recultivated into a Natal Spirit Sword by the method of psionic energy. After that, Master Gu Tie sighed lightly, "Your mother is also a smart person, and she has arranged for the spirit sword business to be returned to the sect before the immortal leaves, in exchange for the continued support of the Elders Council. Although the Council of Elders had not been able to recognize the throne passed to you by your mother on the grounds that you were still young, they also rejected the proposal of the Ancient Wind Wife to become the Empress. Now the throne of the Sect Master Gu Feng Dynasty is also a compromise, and after two years, you who will graduate from the Imperial Academy, who can stand out and achieve the throne depends on your own ability. ”

Gu Tianxiao was silent for a while listening to these established facts, and then said frankly, "Tianxiao should do his best, he can't lose the prestige of his parents, it's just Grandpa Gu, I think the name of Soul Eater is a little unlucky, and it doesn't match the current appearance, can I change my name?"

"There is no need, this sword is already newborn, the original sword spirit has long since dissipated, and you are the master, even if you are called a cat and a dog, there is no problem. Master Gu Tie quipped.

Gu Tianxiao looked at the silver-white short sword that exuded clear light, and his index finger slid gently from the tip of the sword to the hilt of the sword, and then said in a positive voice, "In the future, I will call you 'Silver Soul'." As if in response to Gu Tianxiao's smile, the glazed beads flashed with a conspicuous purple vein, and then tended to calm down in the sky blue.

Master Gu Tie nodded silently from the side, and said with a smile to Gu Tian, "The pearl of this sword is unique to the Netherworld Cave Heaven, it is the pivotal eye of the Soul Devouring Soul, and it is also the key to the continued cultivation of the Natal Spirit Sword after this spirit sword is broken, if you have the opportunity to go to the Netherworld Cave Heaven in the future, you must explore the relationship here, maybe it is another secret between this heaven and earth." In addition, don't look at the roundness of this sword, it is actually extremely sharp, the old man made a scabbard for this sword, and gave it to you. After speaking, Master Gu Tie picked up a snow-white leather scabbard from the rosewood table beside him and handed it to Gu Tianxiao. Gu Tianxiao took this delicate and delicate leather scabbard engraved with auspicious cloud travel patterns, and slowly sank into the sword body, only to see that the sky was seamless and perfectly matched.

"Thank you Grandpa Gu, it's just that Tianxiao's family has received a lot of favors from Grandpa Gu, and Grandpa Gu always doesn't take a penny, to be honest, Tianxiao is a little uneasy. Gu Tianxiao was like a chivalrous warrior in the rivers and lakes, holding a sword in his left hand and holding a fist in his right hand, saluting.

"Hehe, you kid call me grandpa, where is there so much hypocrisy," Master Gu Tie reached out and touched Tianxiao's head and said with a smile, "Your father grew up with an old man, and besides, the old man should have what he should have, and he shouldn't have it, if you want you to get ahead, it is the biggest gratification for the old man, by the way, this storage bag is some mold equipment used in class, you help the old man run a trip to the classroom to decorate it, and you will show the students the basic forging method with the old man in class tomorrow." ”

Gu Tianxiao blushed, showed a shy smile and agreed, and then Gu Tianxiao said goodbye to Master Gu Tie, led the glutinous man to the special classroom where he taught spiritual energy forging, and arranged the things that Master Gu Tie handed over to him. Then he said to the glutinous man who had long been bored, "When I was a child, I often lived on both sides of the palace and the Xiandao sect, and when I lived in the sect, Qiu Tang and Dongxue would take me to live in the side courtyard arranged for me by my father. At that time, Grandpa Gu had already lived there, and he often led me to visit the iron-striking construction site behind the side courtyard. When looking at those sweaty craftsmen, they often tell me some truths, such as 'a gentleman is a gentleman, and he is born on his own', telling me not to underestimate these blacksmiths who strike iron. Another example is 'Tianxingjian, a gentleman is self-improving', telling me that only when you endure hardships can you become a master. At that time, I really thought that Master Gu Tie was a teacher. ”

It's just that the glutinous man is still sleepy, and there is no response.

"Glutinous son, accompany me to another place and then go. Gu Tianxiao shook his head and said helplessly.
