Chapter 5: The Way of the Sword
"This dagger is very precious?" Yan Qi listened to Yan Kui's words, like a mist in the clouds, "What Kunlun purple crow, is it a bird unique to Kunlun Mountain?"
Yan Kui was amused when he heard this, but he had a serious look on his face, and said in a tone of lesson: "Nephew Yan Qi, this is wrong for you." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is the Kunlun Purple Crow, a rare ore, not a bird. While practicing martial arts, you should listen and watch more, and knowledge is often more important than martial arts. ”
Yan Qi is embarrassed, he does have limited knowledge of the Shenzhou Continent, and all the information comes from that 'Yan Qi'. At that moment, he hugged his fist and said that he had been taught.
"Anyway, my sister-in-law and my nephew Yan Qi may not know much about the value of this dagger. I'm going to talk to you about weaponry, so that you can know our sincerity. Yan Kui said with a stubborn temperament.
Yan Kui said that in order to understand the value of a weapon, you must first understand the way of forging a sword. The word 'sword' here is a broad term that refers to a variety of weapons. Those who are proficient in this way are called swordsmiths. The swordsmith is different from the vulgar craftsmen of the people, and there is a very strict threshold. Because the two processes of sword casting, casting and forging, respectively require abundant martial arts knowledge and advanced martial arts cultivation. Imagine if you don't even understand what kind of martial arts are suitable for what kind of weapon, how can you create a satisfactory divine weapon.
Looking at Yan Qi's mother and son, Yan Kui nodded with satisfaction and continued. He said that these two things alone are already high requirements, but the conditions for becoming a good swordsmith are not only these, but more importantly, there must be a talent. This talent is called 'Dao Force'. Countless martial arts masters who want to become swordsmiths are blocked by this 'Dao power', and they can only sigh with admiration. Because the power of the Tao is very subtle, some people can understand it at a point, and some people work hard all their lives but do not get the essentials.
If you have enough strength, you will be able to know when to use what heat and how long it should take to melt during the casting process, and you will also be able to better master the strength and skill in the forging process. On the other hand, if you don't have enough Dao strength, even if the precious materials are delivered to you, you can only create a pile of scrap metal. The threshold for swordsmiths is so high, and the weapons they make are extremely important to martial arts masters, which has caused a deformed phenomenon: the status of swordsmiths is often much higher than that of other martial arts masters.
Yan Qi asked rhetorically: "No matter how sharp the weapon is, if the strength is not as good as the opponent, what is the use? ”
"Hehe, my nephew is still too young to see the world. Yan Kui said brightly, "I don't know that at the martial arts conference that year, everyone in the world knew that the cultivation of the Shenzhou hero Shi Zhonghao was unique in the world, but in the end, he was defeated by the famous sword 'Reverse Tooth' of Ye Xiaofeng, the sect leader of the Jiangnan Sword Sect whose martial arts attainments were inferior to him, and he could only give the throne of the first place in the world to others." That reverse tooth is now the No. 1 weapon on the Divine Weapon List!"
Although Yan Qi had never heard of the great names of the Shenzhou Hero and the Jiangnan Sword Sect Master, listening to Yan Kui's tone, he thought that he should be an extremely powerful person, and he was even more curious about the seemingly ordinary dagger in Yan Kui's hand.
"And what's so peculiar about this dagger?"
"Just try it. Yan Kui handed the dagger over and watched Yan Qi's reaction with interest.
Yan Qi took the dagger and held it in his hand, and knew that this thing must be extraordinary. It was as light as a cloud, its color was like ink, and when he flicked his fingers, the humming sound was crisp and pleasant; he drew the short knife from his waist and touched each other, but he saw that the short knife had been broken in half silently, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Sure enough, it's a good weapon, third uncle, does this dagger have a name?" Yan Qi's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
Yan Kui replied: "I haven't chosen a name yet, if my nephew likes it, you can name him himself." ”
"This dagger is too precious for my nephew to dare to love. Yan Qi put the dagger into the sheath and returned it to Yan Kui, "The third uncle is kind, we understand it." ”
Yan Kui didn't expect Yan Qi to be so ignorant, so he also put away his smile and said angrily: "Nephew, you have to think about it, the value of this dagger goes without saying, it is an unexpected joy for you." Don't think that you are in charge, so you are unscrupulous and disrespectful!" "In Yan Kui's plan, if Yan Qi's mother and son agree to the best conditions, give them a dagger, and find a way to get it back in the future. If he didn't agree, he would have to implement the second plan, and use an open competition to compete for the qualification to enter the Zhongshan faction to learn martial arts, so as to veto the decision made on Yan Qi at the clan meeting that year. It's just that in this way, the original plan that he discussed with the head of the family, Yan Guan, to give the two places held by the Yan family to Yan Lie and his son Yan Fen was also in vain. With Yan Lie's strength, it doesn't have much impact, but his son Yan Fen ...... As soon as he thought of his uncompetitive son, Yan Kui couldn't help but have a headache, others didn't say it, just the young man named Yan Kong was much smarter than Yan Fen.
But I heard Yan Qi reply in a loud voice: "Third uncle, my nephew has already thought very clearly, I really can't afford this dagger, and I ask the third uncle to bring it back." Now that Yan Qi has the experience of his previous life, not only is he clear about Yan Kui's mind that he will try his best to take this dagger back in the future, but he also vaguely guesses what way he will use not only to prevent the Yan family from bearing the name of treachery, but also to cancel his quota in a grand manner.
"That's fine. Yan Kui put on a posture of a good man again, "In half a month, the people from the Zhongshan faction will come to Chaozhou to choose apprentices, sister-in-law, Yan Qi's nephew, there is something I want to explain to you." In order to select outstanding children of the clan to the Zhongshan faction more fairly, the head of the family will propose that from now on it will rely on open competitions to win places. Hehe, in a week, I will wait for the two of you in the martial arts field of Yanjia School and say goodbye. ”
"The third uncle walks slowly, and the nephew will definitely come as scheduled. Yan Qi's gaze was firm, and he looked at Yan Kui without showing weakness.
Yan Kui finally couldn't help but snort angrily and walked away. The waste that you don't know how to lift will be seriously injured when the time comes, and see if you can pick up another life!
Seeing Yan Kui leave, Mother Yan said worriedly: "Qi'er, my mother knows that you are not the same as in the past now, but you have just entered the Tongmai Realm, will it be too risky." In case there is another mistake, how can my mother live......"
"Don't worry. Yan Qi's smile was not like that of a thirteen-year-old boy, but more like a mature man who had gone through vicissitudes, "The child will let those people know that Yan Yuan's son is not only not a waste, but also a genius that is beyond their reach!"
"You've really grown up. Yan smiled with satisfaction, "Go and wake up my sister, the porridge is almost ready." ”
......
In the open space behind the house, her sister Yan Xiaohua was holding her fleshy cheeks with both hands, and was watching her brother practice martial arts.
"Feiyun Palm!" "Ziying Divine Sword!" "Little Folding Plum Hand!" ......
Yan Qi continued to practice the martial arts moves of his previous life, in order to use his current body to choose a suitable martial arts move. Xiaohua on the side kept shaking her head and shouted: "No, no, no, Xiaohua has seen other people practice martial arts in the martial arts training ground before, and she is much more powerful than my brother's flower fist embroidered legs!"
"You little girl!" Yan Qi said angrily, "What do you know, brother, these are extremely clever martial arts, but now the skills are not good, and they can't be effective." ”
"Hmph, brother is stingy, Xiaohua is honest, you are also angry. Xiaohua pursed her lips and muttered aggrievedly.
Yan Qi had no time to quarrel with his sister, he was very distressed, the luck method of the Heavenly Demon Heart Method completely jumped out of the category of ordinary martial arts, which not only made him unable to exert the power of the Yan family's boxing method that 'Yan Qi' had learned, but even his advanced martial arts in his previous life were not feasible in this body. The reason is very simple but very deadly, because although the Heavenly Demon Heart Method has transformed his body and allowed his true qi to stay in his body, but at the moment, he can only transport his true qi to the Shenting acupoint, which is equivalent to not being able to flexibly use his internal strength except for his head, hands, feet and body.
"Tsk, could it be that I really want to be repaired by the Yan family's group in this competition?" Yan Qi's sad face suddenly flashed, "I remember...... In the previous life, there was a kind of martial arts that hit people with the head......"
