19. Hope for the furnace to melt the sword

When the goshawk heard the sect master of the Divine Sword Sect call Liyun a "child", he was amazed in his heart, and secretly thought: "Listen to the meaning of his words, it has a great relationship with this Lifu." This sect master is young, how can he be an elder who has left the retreat? Could it be that the old lady who has left the retreat is always coquettish, hooked up with this sect master, and became a cheap old man who has left the retreat?"

He was jealous when he saw the rain here, but this place was crowded with people, and he hid in secrecy, and he was not afraid that he would recognize himself.

He bowed down and said: "Master, my fairy sword is full of mundane things, and the road is far away, so it has been delayed for a long time, so let everyone wait for a long time, please forgive me." ”

In addition to the Jianglong Gang, many people on the grass knew some of the causes, and they were not surprised to listen to the questions and answers of the two, and the goshawk asked in a low voice: "Brother Liu, this is much older than the sect master, why do you call him the ancestor?"

Liu Dahai said: "It is said that the sect master of this divine sword sect has practiced the supreme wonderful realm of the unity of man and sword, pinning his life on the sword, smelting for a long time, as long as the long sword in his hand continues, he will be young forever, immortal and immortal, don't look at him young, in fact, he is more than a hundred years old." Everyone in their Divine Sword Sect has a long life, and it is not uncommon for them to live to be seventy or eighty years old, and it is because of these sword sects, all of them want to devote themselves to the Divine Sword Sect. Hmph, they want to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but they are really evil. He had been scorned by the Divine Sword Sect before, but now he was angry, his words were prickly, and he sneered.

Goshawk said strangely: "Since the Divine Sword Sect's kung fu is so wonderful and has an extremely long lifespan, then it must be overcrowded, so why bother recruiting disciples?"

Liu Dahai said: "The number of recruits from the Divine Sword Sect is scarce, and when you are lucky, there are only more than ten people from these many sword sects, and when they practice the martial arts of the Divine Sword Sect, they will be sent to walk the rivers and lakes." Many of the dependent sword factions that help the Excalibur Alliance. And they have a big enemy, called the hidden sword mound, although the number of people in the sword mound is small, but each of them is a master. It is said that in a great battle more than a hundred years ago, many masters of the Divine Sword Sect were defeated by the Dugu Sword Demon who hid the sword mound, and many predecessors disappeared. The current sect master is also the successor at that time, they have suffered disasters, and the elite in the sect has decreased sharply, otherwise they will be even more domineering now, and we will be more and more angry. ”

Hearing him sneer, Goshawk didn't know why, and wanted to ask again, Liu Dahai said: "I have heard many rumors, and this move of collecting and melting swords is a lot of tricks. But this is my first time here, so I can't say more. ”

The blood cedar giant tree was located on the small hillside, and I saw the sect master come out of the crowd, facing the people below the hillside, and said in a loud voice: "Friends of my Divine Sword Alliance, all of you martial arts fellows who have come from afar, everyone gathered together today to welcome the grand event. I am away from the sword as the master of this time, and it is a grand occasion. I am afraid that I will not be careful in my manners, and I will neglect you in my words."

The Liu brothers scolded in a low voice at the same time: "Fake affection, it's really hateful!" Goshawk thought: "It turns out that this sect master's name is Lijian." Listening to his shouting, his breath was steady and his voice was far away. Like striking a temple bell, the internal force is extraordinary.

He said a few humble and polite words, cut to the chase, and said, "A few months ago, several demon sword envoys of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion of the Divine Sword Sect suddenly had a feeling. It is calculated that the demonic spirit is rampant in this blood fir forest, and if it is ignored, there will be a great disaster. In the past, when such a situation was encountered, it was the time to gather all the friends of the alliance and melt the sword to accept the disciples, so a letter was sent to invite all friends to come here to gather. It not only suppresses the demonic spirit here, shocks the demons, but also attracts people who are destined to enter my Divine Sword Sect, teaches the way to eliminate demons, promotes the righteousness of heaven and earth, and maintains the world. ”

When Lifu and the other sword stopped, he asked respectfully: "Lijian Master Ancestor, don't you know that today's Sword Melting Conference has the same rules as in the past?"

Lijian smiled and said: "Child, in the Sword Melting Conference back then, you took the lead, but you refused to leave the old man in your heart and enter the gate of my Divine Sword Sect, I am so sorry, I recently heard that you gave birth to a good son, can you bear to hand him over to us today?"

The various sects in the Sword Alliance were already secretly jealous of the Immortal Sword Sect, and they listened to Lijian's partiality in their words, and they were even more annoyed for a while, but they didn't want to offend these two major sects, so they forbearance was silent. Some people thought: "Even if this sword is cheating, the Immortal Sword Sect may not be willing to hand over a real strong general." We're not without opportunities. ”

Lifeng walked out from behind Lifu, knelt down and kowtowed: "Lijian Ancestor, the younger generation is the Immortal Sword Sect Lifeng, it is the son of the master of the Lifu Sect, when the younger generation was young, my father often mentioned to me the chivalrous demeanor and extraordinary deeds of the predecessors of the Divine Sword Sect. With this opportunity today, if you can join the Divine Sword Sect, you will naturally be willing to do so. ”

Lijian laughed and said: "The little baby looks really good, but it is still inconclusive, whether you can melt the sword or not, it all depends on your own ability." Lifeng said loudly: "This is nature, the younger generation will do their best and never disappoint the expectations of the ancestors." Then he stood up.

Goshawk thought to himself, "He repeatedly talked about the introduction of the melting sword, what does this melting sword mean?

Lijian said: "Our sword melting conference, the date is uncertain, it has been ten years away from the last sword melting conference, the days have been long, I am afraid that everyone has forgotten a little, I will explain to you again today, and please ask the rest of the martial arts colleagues to be a witness." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several disciples of the Divine Sword Sect brought an eight-foot-high furnace and placed it on the ground, without adding coal and firewood, and as soon as the stove hit the ground, a raging fire ignited in it, and the light of the fire changed red and blue, which was extremely strange. Most of the people had never seen such a miracle before, and when they saw this, they exclaimed in amazement, and exchanged their heads and ears.

Lijian said: "The demonic energy under this blood fir tree is extremely strong, this furnace is a treasure of the Divine Sword Sect, feeding the flame with demonic energy, not to mention being able to burn for a day and a night without extinguishing." The young children of the Sword Alliance who are not more than thirty years old can take out their swords and burn them in this fire. If you can support half a meal, the sword will not be fused, and the person will not be damaged, you can enter the gate of my Divine Sword Sect. With a wave of his hand, someone took out three of the same stove, and the same fire flew to the ground, and the flames flew up, and four more large carvings were brought out to keep time.

Goshawk thought about it slightly, knowing the intention of the Divine Sword Sect: If you want to pass this kind of trial, those who have the sharp blade of the divine sword will naturally fight cheaply, because the sword is cold, it is doubly strong, and it does not transmit heat, and the sword holder can last longer, and the Divine Sword Sect covets the sharp weapon of the hidden sword mound, so he uses this method to collect the world's swords. In addition to the sword, if someone has deep internal strength and can resist the heat with strong true qi, they will naturally be able to pass the test. This Sword Melting Conference is well-planned and has far-reaching intentions, and the means of the Divine Sword Sect are indeed extraordinary.

Liu Erhai glanced at the goshawk, saw that he was stunned, and said, "Junior Brother Yin, a few days ago, I used internal strength to make hot wine, which is similar to this principle, and the method of the Divine Sword Sect is not a big deal. ”

Goshawk smiled: "Second Brother Liu is naturally amazing, but it's a pity that he is not a member of the Divine Sword Alliance, and his age is not right, otherwise he will go up and show his skills, so that the Divine Sword Sect will be frightened." But in his heart, he thought: "Your brother's little internal force can't even melt the teapot, let alone these stainless steel swords." ”

Liu Erhai snorted and laughed twice and said, "I'm too lazy to deal with the Divine Sword Sect either. ”

Since there are many well-known sword schools here, there are really a lot of good swords, and many people have swords out of their sheaths, and the sword light on the grass is dazzling, and the green light is bright and extinguished; some people boast that their internal strength is profound, and they attach their true qi to the sword, dance a few times, and make a sneering sound, which causes a round of applause.

Lijian shouted: "If the sword melting fails, but it is not a foregone conclusion, the Divine Sword Sect still has the rest of the tests, if you can pass it, you can also get started." As he spoke, he asked people to carry ten rings of different sizes and a target in the center of the circle, and arranged the rings on the ground from large to small, separated by one foot from each other, with a target at the end, and said: "If someone can use the sword qi sword at one end of the ring and hit the bull's-eye at the opposite end, it will also be regarded as a pass to the entrance." He didn't wait for everyone to be quiet, but spoke directly, and his voice drowned out the noise of everyone, so that everyone could hear it clearly.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and most of them thought: "In addition to the Immortal Sword Sect and the Ghost Sword Sect, there are very few people on the rivers and lakes who are proficient in sword qi and sword, let alone passing through this uneven ring and hitting the bull's-eye that is a foot away. ”

Li Jian looked at everyone's expressions carefully, and said: "Today, the door of my Divine Sword Sect is open, and it is natural to consider many things to recruit wise men. After this 'piercing ring chasing heart' test, if there are still people who are unwilling, they can compete with any of our Divine Sword Sect's great sword envoys, if they can survive fifty moves without being defeated, this kind of martial arts attainment, the future will be bright, and my Divine Sword Sect will also welcome it. ”

The goshawk couldn't help but admire it deeply and thought, "The bullseye is dead, but people are alive." Even if you don't know the sword skills, if the swordsmanship is really superb and can compete with the top masters, you should be courteous. This Divine Sword Sect's method of recruiting talents is exhaustive and eclectic, and it is not a fluke that it can stand tall. ”

After listening to the rules, all the young people were excited, their hearts were moved, and they were eager to try, but only the old and serious people in the Sword Alliance thought: "How good is the great sword to make martial arts? Most of the famous masters on the rivers and lakes are afraid that they will not be able to survive ten moves under them, how can these unsuccessful boys have extravagant hopes?"

After about half a pillar of incense, someone rang the gong, and Lijian said, "Which young hero has the courage to come up first to show his skills?"

The group of heroes quieted down in an instant, and they each calculated, unwilling to be this budding bird. Lifeng looked at the rain and asked, "Senior brother, will you step forward first?"

Forced Yu said: "I am greatly favored by the master, I am willing to stay by the master's side, this matter of the Divine Sword Sect, please also ask the junior brother to work hard, if the junior brother really enters the door of the Divine Sword Sect, he will have to take care of his life in the future." "He has been a lot more easy-going over the years, and he has a good relationship with Lifeng, and he is quite nostalgic in his words.

Lifeng smiled: "With you supporting Daddy, I will be much more relieved." With a hand, he walked out of the crowd, drew his long sword, used his internal force, and stabbed into the furnace. (To be continued.) )
