Volume 23 The Green Spirit Sword
"Naturally, I remember that at that time, you said that you would meet in Boiling City in four years, and it was only a few months away, and if I couldn't find you in the Northland in a month or two, I planned to go directly to Boiling City to find you. "What was agreed, Ming Xuan remembered clearly.
"Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Ou Zhiyang took a sip of wine and said.
"Why did you suddenly mention this matter now?" Ming Xuan felt a little strange, it was still early before the agreed time, and there was still an important matter to be done in Mingcui Mountain.
"Have you heard of the Sword Shrine?" Ou Zhiyang asked suddenly.
"Sword Shrine? Mingxuan told the truth.
"Alas, it's been hundreds of years ago, so it's normal not to know, but you must have heard about the disappearance of many iron village owners decades ago when you were in Boiling City, right? Ou Zhiyang said with a long sigh.
"I do know this, the owner of the Zuojia Iron Village where Brother Dali is located also disappeared at that time, could it be related to the Sword Shrine?"
"It's a long story, things have to start with the grievances between my Ou family and the Shen family, hundreds of years ago, our Ou family and the Shen family were already a casting family, the casting art is unparalleled in the world, in the whole Zhongzhou is famous, more than now, and at that time the head of my Ou family and the head of the Shen family had a very good relationship, often learn from each other, as close as brothers, and the two casting skills have reached the peak, but because they did not cast a masterpiece and regret, not because the casting skills can not be reached, but because they did not encounter peerless good materials, because at that time both of them were the head of the family, busy affairsThere was no time to go to the field to find good materials, and the wish could only be put on hold, until later he retired from the position of head of the family as he grew older, and when he had some free time, the idea in his heart became even stronger, so the two agreed to travel together to find the rare materials they coveted and cast a peerless heirloom. Ou Zhiyang said, talking about the eventful years of the year.
"What about later?" Seeing Ou Zhiyang pause, Chen Yiling hurriedly asked.
Although the two of them were over the age of sixties, and they were entangled in mundane things when they were young, they were already masters of the spirit level, so it was difficult for them to travel abroad, so the two set off from Boiling City, all the way forward, almost all corners of Zhongzhou, and even went to the sea, went to the Western Regions, went to Fanjiang, and found countless rare raw materials, but still could not reach the kind of perfection that the two really expected, so they still did not stop, continued to search, spring to autumn, Zhaohua is fleeting, it is already the tenth year, finally, the two found a rare raw material Qingling stone in a place with extremely strong aura, Qingling stone is not a simple stoneAs we all know, the magic weapon is spiritual, has its own consciousness, and will not be changed lightly, unless it is man-made, but also at the beginning to think about how to cast, once the casting is successful, it is extremely difficult to be reshaped, and the natural magic weapon is even more so, the general natural magic weapon, if the owner has great magical powers, or can be transformed to a certain extent through its own powerful power, but that can only conform to its nature for some simple*, it is absolutely impossible to completely change, but if it is a powerful natural magic weapon, then you don't even think about it, and Qingling Stone is such a powerful natural magic weapon. After saying so much, Ou Zhiyang paused again, drank a glass of wine to moisten his throat, and continued.
"The two ancestors have been out for ten years, what kind of materials have not been seen, even if it is a natural magic weapon, I have seen a lot, but why just fancy the Qingling Stone, because it also has a magical place, that is, it has the possibility of being cast, although it has a strong spiritual power, but it is very soft, not too aggressive, and what is even more amazing is that it is not exclusive to shaping, even if it is beaten on it with a hammer, it will not react, if it is not for the two ancestors are masters of the spirit level, know how to use spiritual power to detect, ordinary people are afraid that it is just an ordinary stone, because of the restraint of this spiritual power, so that it has the possibility of casting, and will be cast through guò to release its spiritual power, become an excellent auxiliary weapon, thus, it has the possibility of becoming a peerless divine soldier, the two of them have been searching for ten years, and finally found the right material, can't help but hug each other and cry, that kind of joy is not felt by others. Ou Zhiyang sighed.
But after the two gradually calmed down, a more cruel problem appeared, there was only one piece of raw material, only enough to cast a weapon, and it was impossible to be divided, so only one of the two could get it, you are not a foundry, you don't understand the importance of refining an heirloom for a top foundry, and you can't understand the hardships of ten years of hard work, so you can't understand the importance of this piece of material for them, even if it's for their lives, they don't hesitate to exchange it, in the face of such a cruel reality, the two are silent, and no one wants to give it up, because even if it is used for another ten years, there is no guarantee that such a perfect piece of material will be found again, and the two people who have intersected for decades because they began to crack with each other. Ou Zhiyang sometimes puts himself in his shoes, on the one hand, he has been friends for decades, and on the other hand, he has dreamed of things for decades, how to choose.
The two negotiated countless times, how could not reach a consensus, gradually, the negotiation became a quarrel, the quarrel became a scolding, the scolding became a hand, two people who have been friends for decades for it, put aside decades of feelings, and in the end, the two chose the most extreme and direct solution: the winning side gets the Qingling stone, when this plan is determined, no matter what the outcome is, it is destined that the two will not be friends again. Ou Zhiyang said helplessly, life is always so imperfect.
"The result of the duel should be known to everyone, the ancestors of the Ou family narrowly defeated the ancestors of the Shen family in one move, got the Qingling Stone, happily returned to the Ou family, and immediately organized the foundries to start studying how to cast it, and the ancestors of the Shen family because of years of hard work in vain, but also lost their best friends, depressed returned to the Shen family, and did not have the courage and confidence to find materials anymore, the two families have gone to two extremes, the descendants of the Shen family know about this matter, where will they be convinced, and begin to provoke the Ou family constantly, wanting to get back the Qingling Stone, how can the Ou family give away the Qingling Stone so hard, so the two families have constant friction, years of friendship ruined, especially the ancestors of the Shen family ended up depressed, which further stimulated the contradictions between the two families, the conflict continued to escalate, the two families broke up completely, and the ancestors of the Ou family did not think so much, as soon as they went home, they convened all the casting elites in the clan to retreat and cultivate, discuss how to cast Qingling stone, and finally mobilized dozens of elites, hundreds of disciples, and almost all the refining materials in the clan were consumed, including the ancestors obtained all the rare materials in the ten years of travel, which lasted five years, and finally created the Qingling Sword, which ranked first among the top ten famous soldiers, The ancestor has been completely hollowed out because of five years of hard work, but after leaving the customs, he found that his friend had already died of depression, and the two families became a fire and water, and he immediately regretted it, and it didn't take long for him to go to the west...... "Speaking of this, Ming Xuan and Chen Yiling were silent, but they didn't know how to judge this matter, who was right and who was wrong, and whether they should be happy or sad.
"The two ancestors are the masters of the casting industry, the pillars of the family, they both have a long lifespan, but because of the Qingling Stone both fell, and the successors although the casting technique has been Mahayana, but there is still a big gap with the ancestors, plus the two clans are full of momentum, friction is constant, and the strength is also constantly internal friction, so the two families have begun to gradually decline, the Ou family is in a slightly better situation because of the Qingling Sword, but it is also remembered by many small people, it is a constant trouble, and the Shen family is even more miserable, the family road continues to decline, and now although it still occupies a place in Boiling City, it is difficult to dominate, This is still because of Shen Tiexin's painstaking management over the years, but unfortunately the last sword conference unfortunately missed, and he had to start again. Having said this, even Ou Zhiyang, who has become a sworn enemy, is embarrassed.
"Although the two ancestors fought for the Qingling Stone in a completely fair situation, the result was understandable, but afterwards, the Ou family still felt that they owed the Shen family, so they have been tolerated, even when the friction was the most intense, they would only fight back when they were forced to do so, and later the Shen family fell into the middle of the road, and the Ou family was still secretly supporting them, otherwise the Shen family was afraid that they would not be able to gain a foothold in Boiling City, even so, the contradictions between the two families still could not be reconciled, alas, I knew that this was the case, maybe I didn't get the Qingling Stone, which was better for the two familiesIt's a pity that there aren't so many ifs in life!" Ou Zhiyang sighed.
"The casting of the Qingling Sword does bring a lot of bad things, but its status in the Zhongzhou Weapons Spectrum cannot be concealed, and it also shows the prominent status of the Ou family, he is the pinnacle of the ancestors of the Ou family, which can not be ignored by future generations. Ming Xuan said comfortingly.
Having said that, I don't know if the so-called eternal fame that has been exchanged for the generational grievances and past glory of the two families is worth it. Ou Zhiyang and even the Ou family have been thinking about this problem.
"Alas, the matter has come to this point, and it is no longer worth judging whether it is worth judging or not, and it only adds to the trouble. "Now that it's a fact, it's useless to think about it.
"Brother Gu is reasonable, I also feel sorry for myself, and mediocrity is just disturbing myself. Ou Zhiyang drank all the wine in the cup and said with a wry smile.
"Brother Ou has said so much, does it have anything to do with the Sword Shrine?" Ming Xuan asked suspiciously.
