Chapter 70: The Craftsman
"Valuable?Ximen Zhuang Master, you say this sword is worth a lot of money?" Zhou Zijian didn't believe his ears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ximen Kuanghui saw that Zhou Zijian's affection was a little abnormal, and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything wrong?"
Zhou Zijian shook his head, as if muttering to himself: "Then why did he only accept five taels of silver from me?"
"Five taels of silver?" Even Simon Zailen, who has never liked to talk, couldn't help but sigh.
Ximen Kuanghui was startled at first, and then laughed loudly: "Zhou Daxia, you are so blessed! This old man Hong can be regarded as blue-eyed to you." Looking at the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that he will never accept five taels of silver to create such a good sword for him. ”
Zhou Zijian couldn't believe it, because he had never met Hong Haoxuan before, let alone had any friendship. But looking at Ximen Kuanghui's expression, he is definitely not lying.
Zhou Zijian glanced at Ximen Kuanghui and asked, "Then according to the owner of the village, why does Old Man Hong have such a blue eye for me?
Ximen Kuanghui nodded, pondered for a long time, and said, "If my guess is correct." He should be because of your previous saber. ”
Zhou Zijian was confused when he heard this, and asked puzzledly, "Why is that?"
Ximen Kuanghui stroked the beard under his chin with his right hand, and smiled slightly: "The sword that Zhou Daxia wore before was Yinhong?"
Zhou Zijian nodded, thinking in his heart: "It seems that this sword god has already seen that I am wearing the Silver Rainbow Sword, but I didn't say it at the beginning." ”
Ximen Kuanghui said: "The silver rainbow worn by Zhou Daxia is not the world-famous silver rainbow sword of Helian Qingtian. With the Dao scars on the sword, I believe Zhou Daxia also knows. ”
Zhou Zijian nodded: "When I got the Silver Rainbow Sword, I already knew that it was fake. ”
Ximen Kuanghui looked at Zhou Zijian with satisfaction: "It seems that Zhou Daxia is also a discerning person." But not only did I know that it was a fake Silver Rainbow Sword, but I also knew who created it. ”
Zhou Zijian's face couldn't help but be a little moved: "Master Ximen Zhuang, do you know who created that fake sword?"
Ximen Kuanghui smiled and nodded: "I know." This person is also surnamed Hong, and his double name is Mengkui. Jianghu people are called craftsmen. ”
Zhou Zijian was stunned: "Why is there another craftsman god?
Ximen Kuanghui understood, and said with a faint smile: "This person is none other than Hong Haoxuan's only son." Speaking of Hong Mengkui, of course, his fame is not as good as his father. But when it comes to the craft of forging blades, he is no worse than his father. So later, the name of the craftsman gradually fell on Hong Mengkui. ”
Zhou Zijian was still a little puzzled: "Since Hong Mengkui's sword-forging skills are so high, why is my silver rainbow so vulnerable?"
Ximen Kuanghui shook his head: "Although the silver rainbow you originally made is a fake, it has experienced so many confrontations. Scarred but never broken, why?"
Zhou Zijian thought for a while and said, "At the beginning, I met the Nine Heavens Xuansha Zhuge Qingyi, and I fought for several rounds. The silver rainbow was streaked with cracks, but his flames were undamaged. Isn't it vulnerable?"
Ximen Kuanghui laughed loudly again: "It turns out that Zhou Daxia has encountered the Nine Heavens Xuansha. Your Excellency can escape from this person's sword, which is also a great thing to talk about. ”
Zhou Zijian's face flushed, and he smiled awkwardly: "This matter is a long story. Let the owner laugh. ”
Ximen Kuanghui shook his head and said, "Don't misunderstand Zhou Daxia. Although the hero has outstanding martial arts and is a master of the Kongtong faction, it is still far from the Nine Heavens Xuansha. The Nine Heavens Xuansha Zhuge Qingyi, the martial arts are so high, I am afraid that the ranking is also between the hands. Looking around the world, there are a few more people who can escape from her flaming sword. Not to mention how wonderful her swordsmanship is, even that flaming sword should be one of the top ten divine weapons in the world. If you want to make such a divine sword, no matter how strong the ability of the craftsman is, it will not be possible to make it without the top-level Xuantie of the Tianshan Mountains, the cold iron of the abyss of the East China Sea and the Qionggang that has been difficult to find for thousands of years on Hainan Island. ”
Zhou Zijian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then how does the owner of my Shenxue think it compares to the flames?"
Ximen Kuanghui thought for a moment and said, "It's still a little worse than the flames. But it will never be easily cut off by the flames. ”
Zhou Zijian looked at the "Shen Xue" in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Ximen Kuanghui smiled: "Zhou Daxia, we talked about some gossip just now. How about starting now?"
Zhou Zijian nodded and arched his hand at Ximen Zailen.
Ximen Zairen hugged his fists at Zhou Zijian and said, "Please." ”
After speaking, Ximen Zairen strode forward, and the pine sword pointed directly at Zhou Zijian's front heart, the sword momentum was like a rainbow, and the cold air was pressing.
Zhou Zijian didn't dare to slack off, and "Shen Xue" stabbed the other party without covering.
Ximen Zairen was suddenly startled and hurriedly returned to his sword to block. Listening to the sound of the "bell", the pine-patterned sword was turned upside down four feet, and it was dangerously gone.
Zhou Zijian only felt that the tiger's mouth was sour and numb, and the "Shen Xue" was shocked so that the tip of the sword fell, and a deep groove more than a foot long was drawn on the ground.
Ximen Zairen gently returned the pine pattern sword, and then bowed to Zhou Zijian and said: "Zhou Daxia is really treacherous in swordsmanship, I admire it." After speaking, he walked back behind Ximen Kuanghui.
Ximen Kuanghui was a little disappointed and said: "Zhou Daxia's swordsmanship is superb, which is admirable. I only said that this is not weak in Ren's martial arts, and I don't want to take even a sword in front of Zhou Daxia. ”
Ximen Zai Ren just made a sword, which made Zhou Zijian a little confused. For a while, Zhou Zijian had not come back to his senses.
At first glance, Zhou Zijian said with some embarrassment: "Whatever the owner of Ximen Zhuang says, it is just the master in charge who agrees." ”
"What do they want to do? test me?" Zhou Zijian was hesitant in his heart.
Ximen Kuanghui inspected various places in Bailiu Villa, and then took Ximen Zairen away, and left Zhou Zijian with five taels of silver before leaving.
Late at night, Zhou Zijian came to the stone cave under Laojun Pavilion again.
He told Zhou Zijian what happened during the day, and then asked: "It's a little strange today, Ximen Kuanghui and Ximen Zairen came, but they didn't enter this Laojun Pavilion, I don't know why?"
Cold Frost was a little surprised: "They're coming?"
Zhou Zijian asked with some confusion: "Big brother, what do they usually do when they come here?"
Leng Hanshuang pursed his lips: "Ximen Zairen, I haven't seen it all the time." But every half a month, Ximen Kuanghui will come to the stone cave under the Laojun Pavilion to study the internal strength method. Talk to me once in a while. But I don't bother to talk to him. This time, he didn't come down, and I also felt a little weird. ”
Zhou Zijian said: "Today, the owner of Ximen Zhuang asked Ximen Zairen to test my swordsmanship, and I always feel strange. ”
Leng Hanshuang couldn't help but be stunned: "Compared with the sword, what the hell is this Ximen Kuanghui doing? Could it be that he has already discovered that you have entered this stone cave?"
