Chapter Twenty-Three: The Gift of the Ring

What made Hong Yi curious was not this woman dressed as a man and wearing the costume of a student of the Guozi Eunuch, but the blood-patterned steel she said.

Blood stripe steel is not a type of good jīng steel. Rather, it is the steel that belongs to the legendary immortal soldier flying sword.

This kind of steel is bright and pure, but inside the steel there will be blood threads like the meridians and blood vessels of the human body.

Legend has it that this kind of steel has a spirit, and practitioners of Buddhism and Taoism use it to refine flying swords and drive them, which are much more flexible and powerful than ordinary mortal steel jīng iron swords.

However, Hong Yi had only read the record of this kind of "blood-patterned steel" in the Taoist scriptures, and he had not seen it himself, and even he doubted that there was such steel in the world.

His Divine Soul cultivation has not reached the realm of exorcism, and he can't compare this kind of "Blood Pattern Steel" and ordinary mortal iron to see who is superior and who is inferior when driven by yīn gods.

However, the boss of the "Guan Lie" just now said that the ladder pattern steel, ice crack steel, and ju pattern steel, Hong Yi knows, and has seen it, these three kinds of weapons made of steel are all divine weapons, worth at least thousands of taels of silver, or even worth ten thousand taels, and they are priceless.

Because these three swords made of steel are all real hair-blown and hair-breaking, and iron is like clay.

The ladder pattern steel is a specialty of the Western Regions Huoluo Kingdom, because the forged sword has a ladder-shaped texture, it is called the ladder pattern.

The Great Qian Dynasty is an ice crack. The juu pattern of the southern island kamikaze. These three swords are called the three great divine weapons.

Hong Yi once saw with his own eyes that Hong Xi, the eldest son of Madame Zhao of Zhengfu, had an ice crack treasure knife in his hand, which was a reward from the emperor. Hong Yi is very enthusiastic.

"Yujing City is the largest city in the world, and this lice is the number one weapon shop in the world, and there is no blood-patterned steel to buy?" the "son" who was dressed as a man sighed again, and his eyebrows could no longer hide his deep disappointment.

"This benevolent brother, the blood pattern steel is refined by the Taoist priest in the Dan furnace, the legend is that it takes thousands of fires, and a lot of materials, and finally quenched with his own human blood, in order to refine the blood veins, like the meridians and blood of the human body, it took ten years for the former Fang Immortal Daoist Wang Jiu Daoist to practice a large piece of blood pattern steel, and finally his own jīng blood dried up and died, how can Brother Ren buy this legendary fairy steel in an ordinary store?"

Hong Yi couldn't help but take a step forward and said.

Just when Hong Yi took a step forward, the two guards beside the "son" dressed as a man suddenly stared at him, with a cold light, as if they were giant beasts in the wilderness, and the hands of the two touched their waists, as if they were about to take out the murder weapon at any time.

With such a reaction, Hong Yi's heart was shocked, and he was almost frightened back, but he had cultivated his soul for a long time and had concentration, but he just stopped his steps and looked at these two fierce guards with a smile.

"What are you doing, still not retreating?"

After hearing Hong Yi's words, the "son" who was dressed as a man was immediately very surprised, and when he saw the attitude of his guard, he was immediately annoyed, and his eyebrows were upside down.

When the two guards heard the reprimand of "Childe", they did not say a word, and immediately retreated to both sides.

"This son, do you know where you can buy blood pattern steel?" This "son" suddenly took two steps forward, approached Hong Yi, and hurriedly asked.

"May I ask your surname?" Hong Yi asked with a smile.

"Childe" probably felt that he was a little impatient and rude when he came up like this, so he hurriedly took a step back, arched his hand, and looked at Hong Yi with his eyes, "Childe is a scholar, wearing a talented green shirt, and he already has a reputation, I don't know how to know about 'blood pattern steel'." My surname is Luo Mingyun. ”

When the other party was looking at himself, Hong Yi was also looking at the "tomboy" in front of him.

The other party's face is very white, his facial features are delicate, his breath is fragrant, like an orchid and musk, his fingers are slender, and he also has a wrench on his left thumb, but the wrench is not jade, but iron, and the iron shows a pattern, and there is a buckle groove, which is not decorative, but used for shè arrows.

Seeing the wrench on the other party's thumb, Hong Yi suddenly remembered that if he wanted to open the bow to practice his strength, he had to buy a wrench, otherwise it would be easy to cut his fingers by the bowstring.

Although Hong Yi saw that the other party was a woman, he did not break it, but still called him a brother.

Men and women are just a layer of skin, and it is meaningless to say it, and it is easy to arouse people's disgust, and even become enemies.

"My surname is Hong Mingyi, I just read a few more Taoist scriptures, I heard that Brother Luo wanted to buy blood pattern steel, I felt curious, I saw that Brother Luo should be a student of Guozijian, how could he want to buy such an immortal thing as blood pattern steel?" Hong Yi asked.

"Uh," Luo Yun paused, "I'm just asking. ”

"Well, but thirty miles outside the city of Yujing, it is the Yujing Temple, which is the foundation of the Fangxian Taoist sect, if Brother Luo can really afford the price, you can ask the Taoist priests there, they should collect it." Hong Yi said.

"Yujing Guan, Fang Immortal Dao?" Luo Yun pondered, and raised his head again: "Since Brother Hong is familiar with the Taoist scriptures, I don't know if you have read it, if there is no blood pattern steel, what is the best place to replace it?"

"If you want to practice flying swords, if you don't have blood pattern steel, what do you want to use instead?" Hong Yi heard this: "This woman is a stunned young man, right? Scholars don't talk about strange powers, at least don't talk about them in public, right? Could it be that this woman is also a cultivator? I don't know what realm she has reached? But since she speaks so generously, I will touch her bottom? Is she a cultivator, or someone who became interested after reading a few Taoist scriptures?"

Although he thought so in his heart, but looking at this woman's eyes, there was a taste of innocence, Hong Yi recalled some records in the Taoist scriptures: "The book says that the blood pattern steel is used alchemy to change the steel quality and practice the same blood as the human body, if it can't be refined, it can be replaced by a wooden sword, because the wooden sword also has a vein." If it is replaced by something else that has no context, it will be ten times more difficult for the Divine Soul to drive the sword. However, I don't know the specific method of sword refining and sword mining, I just read some Taoist books. ”

"So that's the truth!" Luo Yun suddenly realized, and his eyes shone brightly: "Brother Hong, you and I are also scholars, but we know so much, no wonder my father Wang .......... wants me to come to Yujing to study, to read more other books, and to ask more people." ”

When Luo Yun talked about his father, he seemed to feel that he had slipped out of his mouth, and his voice immediately became inaudible.

Hong Yi also pretended not to hear, he had already guessed that this Luo Yun was from a foreign royal family.

"It seems that the power of using a wooden sword is much less, so I'd better go to Yujing to see if there is any blood pattern steel for sale. Luo Yun naturally said to himself, and then arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Hong for your advice, I'll go to Yujing to watch first, by the way, Brother Hong has a bow in his hand, but he doesn't have a ring, it's easy to cut his fingers, I'll give you a wrench, thank you for your guidance." ”

As he spoke, Luo Yun took the ring from his hand and handed it to Hong Yi, "I'm studying in Guozijian, where do you live, and I have time to come and chat with you?"

"I'm in the Wuwen Marquis Mansion. Hong Yi said.

"Well, I remember, I'll take a step now. ”

After Luo Yun handed over the wrench, he walked out quickly, and Hong Yi saw her on the edge of the building getting into a carriage and speeding out of the city.

"But he is a man who has no chance to be deceitful. Hong Yi looked at the ring on his hand and sighed.

..............................................................................................

In the carriage.

"Princess, this Xiucai is not an ordinary person!" a guard said to Luo Yun.

"What's unusual?" Luo Yun asked.

"Other scholars, princesses, sometimes when you ask, your face is numb, except for the set of almost, it is something that is silent and strange. How can this scholar know so many things?" said another guard.

"Didn't my father say that the scholars of the Great Qian Dynasty had knowledge from all over the world, what is so strange about this?" Luo Yunqi said.

"Princess, you are so naïve. The king sent you here to learn the jīng ming of the great Qianren, but you"

Both guards sighed.
