Chapter 5: The Cold Sword Gate
Time flies quickly, three months have passed in a blink of an eye, in these three months, Xu You is trying his best to help the family's small business, although he has been prepared in his heart, but when the day comes, Xu You can't hide the sadness in his heart at all.
"Dad, I don't want to go, I just want to guard our shop and accompany you. That evening, Xu You finally couldn't help but say.
"Nonsense!" Xu Tiecheng frowned: "This matter is not negotiable, no matter how many people want this opportunity, they can't get it, besides, what's the point of guarding this shop? The man has ambitions in all directions, so he has to go out." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Tiecheng lowered his voice again and said, "You didn't tell others about your ability to draw formations, did you?"
Xu You nodded, he had never told anyone else about this kind of thing except for his father, and even in the past three months, he had not used the 'Gathering Star Cultivation Array' again, but that ability had not subsided, for example, if he picked up a handful of mortal iron, Xu You could judge its grade by the mysterious voice in his mind, and even Xu You found that his blacksmith and casting skills were much stronger than before, even surpassing Xu Tiecheng, for example, if he wanted to cast a sword, there were actually several sword casting diagrams in his mind, such as the Qingfeng Sword, Seven Star Sword, Xuantie Sword, Golden Snake Sword.
These sword-casting drawings did not exist at the beginning, in the past three months, Xu You continued to help his father strike iron, and when his skills improved, there would be sword-casting drawings popping up.
There are detailed casting methods and techniques in the casting diagram, and the difficulty varies, but most of them are not yet possible for Xu You to create.
There's only one thing that can be built.
Blue Blade.
Eight catties of pig iron, two catties of refined iron, and one catty of steel jade, except for the steel jade that is difficult to find, the others are fine, and in the shop, there are still a few catties of steel jade left, so it is enough for Xu You to build.
In his spare time, it took half a month for Xu You to create this Qingfeng Sword.
When the sword was formed, Xu Tiecheng also saw it, he nodded again and again, this sword was extremely sharp, three feet and an inch long, revealing a cyan color, which was the color of steel jade. When the other iron swords collided, the other iron swords were immediately broken, and the Qingfeng Sword was not damaged at all.
"This sword is enough to be an heirloom. Xu Tiecheng was also very surprised that his son could create such a sword, he had studied the art for more than 30 years, and it was quite difficult to create this Qingfeng sword, but the premise was that there had to be a casting drawing, he didn't have a casting drawing, so even if he built it, he couldn't create it.
Xu You made the sword, not for himself, but to sell it for money, but Xu You didn't know how much money this sword could be exchanged for. In the past, the signature created by his father was the Xiushui sword, and the forging diagram of this sword was handed down from the ancestors, and it was also regarded as the family heirloom sword of the Xu family. A high-grade Xiushui sword, made only of fine iron, can be exchanged for fifteen taels of silver.
However, although the sword is good, it is not often sold.
After all, there are several weapon shops in Hanxiao City alone, each of which has weapons from the town store, and the Xiushui sword is light and smart, and there are not many people who are suitable for this sword, so although the sword is good, it can't sell a few in a year.
Compared with the Xiushui Sword, which is biased towards lightness, this Qingfeng Sword is obviously much stronger, and I believe that the market is definitely better than the Xiushui Sword.
Of course, this was all Xu You's guess, and before he left, he had already written out the casting picture of the Qingfeng Sword in his mind and left it to Xu Tiecheng.
"You'er, don't waste your talent, go to the Cold Sword Gate, practice hard, don't worry about Dad, I'm fine here, there are stone pillars that can take care of me." Xu Tiecheng knew that Xu You couldn't rest assured of him, so he spoke.
Just after nightfall, Concubine Yan Rong came.
She is indeed punctual, and she will come at night when she says that she will come at night, and she will not come a moment early, nor will she be a minute late.
Compared with three months ago, Concubine Yan Rong has not changed much, she is still cold and arrogant, and there is a trace of tiredness in her eyebrows, and there is a breath of blood on her body, obviously she should have experienced a lot of fighting in the past three months.
"Let's go. Concubine Yan Rong nodded at Xu Tiecheng, and then said.
Here Xu You had already prepared, he was carrying a package with things he was carrying.
"Dad, I'm leaving. Xu You knew that this moment had finally arrived, and at this moment he was in a mixed mood, and kowtowed three times at Xu Tiecheng's kneel, tears had already burst out of his eyes, and the past was vivid, full of fatherly kindness.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Yan Rong didn't say a word, knowing that the father and son were going to say goodbye, so she first dodged outside the house and waited.
Xu Tiecheng's eyes were also a little moist, and he was reluctant in his heart, but he thought of some things, but he was still ruthless in his heart, and said: "Go, remember, don't be in a hurry, don't be reckless." ”
Xu You nodded, these words were also taught to him by Xu Tiecheng, and they contained the principles of life.
Seeing that Xu You still didn't want to leave, Xu Tiecheng turned his heart sideways: "Don't be such a mother-in-law, besides, Hanjianmen is only a few hundred miles away, if you have time, I will also go to see you, if you go down the mountain, you can also see me, let's go." ”
Xu You turned back step by step, except for the yard, Xu Tiecheng did not come out to send it, but he secretly looked at his son's back, and at this moment the old tears fell, and his heart was like a knife.
Xu You followed Concubine Yan Rong all the way out of the city, looking at the familiar streets and alleys along the road, his heart increased with sadness, at this time Concubine Yan Rong glanced at him and said, "According to your way, you won't be able to reach Hanjianmen for ten days." ”
After speaking, no matter what Xu You's reaction was, he still reached out and carried Xu You's collar as last time, and then his feet touched the ground, he had already risen into the air, stepped on the city wall, and took another step, which was already a few feet away.
The tears on his face were quickly dried by the cold night wind, this time Xu You saw it really, this Yan Rong Concubine didn't know what spell she had cast, her feet hung on the clouds, she could jump to a height of five zhang every time, and then land enough to cross thirty zhang, which was much faster than Maxima.
Xu You only reacted at this time, he was going to go to the Cold Sword Gate to learn these magical powers, maybe it wouldn't be long before he would be able to be at ease with this Concubine Yan Rong, fighting the sword world.
Thinking of this, the sadness at the time of parting was also diluted a lot, and I wanted to ask about the Hanjian Gate, but Concubine Yan Rong was like a piece of ice, and it was still that kind of 10,000-year-old ice, Xu You's lips moved, and he didn't ask a word of this inquiry.
Concubine Yan Rong didn't say anything all the way, she was in a hurry all night, and she would be tired to death if she was a horse running so wildly, but Concubine Yan Rong was actually not tired.
This is the body of the monk, and it is said that some monks focus on refining the body, and can train the body to be as steel as iron, invulnerable, invulnerable, and invulnerable.
After a few hours, Xu You was already sleepy, since Concubine Yan Rong didn't speak, he wouldn't be bored, so he simply closed his eyes and rested, but he actually fell asleep after a while.
When the sky was full of sunset, Xu You woke up in a daze, and when he looked up, a majestic mountain appeared in the distance.
This mountain is obviously different from the surrounding hills, thousands of feet high, and several peaks are submerged above the clouds, and the summit is covered with snow, like a pulsatilla.
"This is the Cold Sword Gate. Concubine Yan Rong, who had not spoken all the way, finally said the first sentence at this time.
Xu You's heart was surging, the sect where the secret path monk was located was really extraordinary, seeing these mountains, and then looking at what he had encountered before, it was simply a small dirt slope.
After getting closer, Xu You saw that there were buildings under the mountain, and there were also on the mountainside, and maybe on the top of the mountain, but the top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and it was impossible to see clearly.
At this time, a few monks approached, but after seeing Concubine Yan Rong, they all showed awe on their faces, bowed their heads and saluted, Concubine Yan Rong was still very cold and arrogant, but Xu You looked curious, obviously Concubine Yan Rong had a high status in this Cold Sword Gate.
All the way to a pavilion with Xu You, several monks here saw Concubine Yan Rong, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen Senior Sister Yan." ”
Concubine Yan Rong said succinctly: "Give me a place for an outer disciple." ”
The disciples were stunned for a moment, obviously not reacting for a while, and one of them reacted quickly, and hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Yan, this is not in accordance with the rules, right? If you are a new disciple, you have to start with miscellaneous servants, this is the door rule." ”
"But if there is an inner disciple recommending, you can enter the outer door directly, don't you forget?" Concubine Yan Rong frowned, the monk was startled, and hurriedly said: "That's right, that's right, look at my memory, since it is recommended by Senior Sister Yan, then you can naturally enter the outer door directly, I don't know which peak this junior brother wants to worship?"
Xu You looked at the other party and asked himself, he didn't know how to answer, the monk was also smart, and saw that Xu You didn't know anything about the Hanjian Gate, so he explained: "Our Hanjian Gate has a total of six peaks, called the six peaks of Pengshan, divided into Yujian Peak, Shenrune Peak, Wuzun Peak, Refining Peak, Danding Peak, Fengtian Peak, here, Fengtian Peak is the main peak, only the inner gate, no outer disciples, and the other five peaks are not limited." ”
Next, the monk explained the difference clearly, and Xu You had a score in his heart.
"This senior brother, I choose the Refining Instrument Peak. ”
didn't say it, Xu You grew up in a blacksmith shop since he was a child, and he occasionally got a talent for supernatural powers, which is also related to refining, so of course he has to enter the refining peak.
"Well, that's your name. The monk quickly asked about Xu You's situation, wrote it on a piece of paper, and then he pinched a trick, and the paper actually turned into a paper crane and flew into the attic.
Seeing Xu You's shocked look, the monk scolded in his heart for the hillbilly who had never thought about the market, but on the surface, he was very enthusiastic about explaining: "In this attic, there is a roster of all the miscellaneous servants and disciples of the outer sect of our Hanjian Sect, and each roster is sealed with spells, as long as there is a trick, any person's roster can be accessed at any time, just a little spell." ”
After speaking, he handed a wooden name tag to Xu You.
"Let's go. Seeing that Xu You had been registered, Concubine Yan Rong didn't say a word of nonsense, turned around and left, and Xu You hurriedly followed.
After coming out, Concubine Yan Rong was originally going to take Xu You to the Refining Peak, but at this moment, a flying sword flew in the distance, this flying sword was extremely fast, and it arrived in front of Concubine Yan Rong in the blink of an eye.
Even the projection of the old man with Concubine Yan Rong's sharp knife changed his face and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Concubine Yan Rong, hurry back to Imperial Sword Peak!"
