sword sentient beings

Chapter 120
"Master Xing, drink tea."

Tang Zhao put the tea in front of Xing Ji, Xing Ji took a sip with a smile on his face, and said, "Good tea. Zhuoyu Villa has outstanding people. But after a day of parting, I feel that Ah Zhao has grown taller."

Xue Yeyu also smiled and said, "Since you are here, father will naturally approve of you. So, can I call you Ninth Junior Brother?"

With a ranking, he is a disciple of Zhenyu.There are many disciples in Zhuoyu Villa, but there are only eight who can get Xue Xianyun's personal teaching. Tang Zhaoruo is naturally ranked ninth.

Xue Xianyun snorted, "It's still very early."

Xue Yeyu knew his father's nature early on, so he continued to laugh and said, "Father, you are so good at manipulating people. Brother Ninth just arrived, and he didn't let people rest for a while, why did you ask him to do the work of serving tea and water?"

Xue Xianyun said with a stern face, "I want to order you around, but you also change things around? All day long, the horizontal needle does not move, the vertical line does not hold, and the oil bottle does not hold up when it is upside down. Learning the talisman style is just for pondering. Be lazy, learn to be lazy and don’t even learn the formulas...you will lose face when I say you..."

Xue Yeyu really wrinkled his face, if he hadn't been worried about someone, he would have jumped up now, turned his face away and stopped talking.

Xue Xianyun repulsed his daughter, and said to Xing Ji, "Did the District Prosecutor throw me some drudgery that no one else wanted?"

Xing Ji smiled slightly, he had met Xue Xianyun a few times, and he was well aware of this man's verbally unforgiving temperament, but even so, among the swordsmiths that the Procuratorate could contact, he was definitely easy to talk to, At least he only verbalized a few yin and yang words, but in fact he didn't make things difficult.

Immediately, he took out the sword box from the jar that he carried with him, and said: "This is the sword that our company seized from the Holy Moon Sect. It is already dirty. If you want to clean it, it is best to wash off the remnants of the sword. Furthermore , you can see if there are any taboo Yinsha materials in it, you can replace it and recast it."

Xue Xianyun gave Tang Zhao a wink, Tang Zhao was dumbfounded, but then guessed that he was going to take the sword, so he stepped forward to take the sword box, held it in front of Xue Xianyun, opened the box for him to look at.

When the sword box was opened, Tang Zhao felt familiar, and suddenly remembered that it was the "can't ask for" sword of the monk Kuyi of Shengyue Sect.

Xue Xianyun glanced at it, with disgust on his face, and said: "What kind of traces can the sword of the art realm leave? The sword image has never manifested, so it has never existed in this world, and it has long since disappeared with the swordsman. Even Refurbishing old swords doesn’t even count, at most it counts as washing swords, and you say it’s not a job that others don’t want? Your district inspector just dug up Xue Laiyi’s hometown, so you must have got a new kind of sword, why don’t you give it to me to forge swords?”

Xing Ji naturally wouldn't say that because you have never been successful in forging, of course he couldn't give it to you, saying: "The imperial court has laws, and swords can only be cast in Jianzhou and the four major prisons..."

Xue Xianyun said disdainfully: "Don't talk nonsense, what year is it now, are you still looking through this old calendar? Are you still making too few swords in private? It can be three years at least, or five years at most. I will succeed in forging swords. By then See how your princes beg me?"

Xing Ji cupped his hands and said, "My lord wishes you great success in casting swords and horses. At that time, there must be generous gifts to congratulate you on the grand sword casting event. In addition, we need to reserve magic weapons and a batch of magic weapons..."

After that, Xing Ji and Xue Xianyun discussed business again. It seems that the two parties have cooperated many times, and they are familiar with each other, and there is no disturbance.Talking about the evening, seeing that it was getting late, Xue Yeyu prepared dinner, and she still took some of her pre-made meals, the taste was not bad.Afterwards, Xue Xianyun said: "You still live in the guest room reserved by your district inspector. Do you want Ah Xiao to take you there?"

Xing Ji glanced at Fu Puppet, who was smiling slyly, and waved his hands: "Xiao can't bear it. Let Ah Zhao take me there."

Tang Zhao was about to agree, when he saw Xue Xianyun squinting at the time clock, he understood immediately, leaned forward and said, "My lord, forgive me, it's time for me to study."

Xue Xianyun nodded in satisfaction, the punishment was extremely funny, and said: "Then the officials will not disturb your master and apprentice's study, I will find my own way." He took his leave and left.

Xue Yeyu also took advantage of the trend, obviously not interested in working overtime at night to study and work.Xue Xianyun said: "Go wash your hands and follow me to check this sword."

Immediately, the two went to Xue Xianyun's workshop, which was next to the study.Before going in, Tang Zhao washed his hands and changed into a muslin white coat.

The working room is very quiet, with white walls on all sides, and all kinds of magic lamps on the walls. When it is turned on, it is as bright as daytime, and there is no shadow under the light.In the center is a long table and a special sword stand.

Xue Xianyun put the Unable to Ask sword on a special sword stand, turned on the light, and all the walls were illuminated. Although the sword was dim, it was somewhat bright under the light.

"Tell me, what is the first skill you learn to be a swordsmith?"

Tang Zhao racked his brains, recalling what he said before, and said, "Perception? Know a sword."

Xue Xianyun hummed, and said: "That's right, sword casting starts with knowing the sword. You know that children with good inspiration can naturally feel the fluctuations related to the sword, and even be brought into the sword intent. For example, the sword intent is fire. , you feel as if you are being burned. This feeling is very intuitive and convenient, but it is rough and dangerous.”

Tang Zhao nodded. When he didn't even know the sword, he had felt the fluctuation of the magic weapon. The magic weapon Xing Ji gave him for protection made him feel as if he had hit a wall. That was the feeling of substitution.

Xue Xianyun said: "We swordsmiths have a systematic perception method. But first of all, we must restrain our external inspiration, and only when we receive it can we release it. I will teach you the methods of suppressing inspiration and restraining inspiration. So, let’s first look at the way to know the sword. Simply put, it’s looking, smelling, asking, and cutting.”

Now he explained in detail several methods of observing and recognizing the sword. Watching and hearing are both methods of using mental power, while asking and cutting require interaction with the sword.These knowledges are very complicated, and it took a whole hour to talk about them roughly.

Xue Xianyun spoke smoothly, so naturally he didn't care about the agreement of "only half an hour a day", and Tang Zhao would not remind him.

Listening and listening, Tang Zhao suddenly had a clear realization—isn’t the way to recognize swords just like knocking swords with glasses?

Compared with tapping the sword, this set of perception methods is much more cumbersome, but the information obtained from it is also very comprehensive, which is far from being summarized in that table. One wins in being simple and straightforward, and the other wins in being complete and comprehensive. In the hand, it can be said that each has its own merits.Tang Zhao learned and memorized at the same time, and compared with Wenjian, he only felt that he had learned a lot.

The two have been teaching until late at night, and the progress of washing the sword is still zero.

Xue Xianyun said: "This is impossible, and I can't point to a sword and teach you everything. Can you still do business? Tomorrow, I will start washing the sword. I will slow down a little, but I won't stop to wait for you. How much do you want?" Read more and ask." Tang Zhaoying said yes.

That night Tang Zhao lived in a small room next to the studio.

Early the next morning, Xue Xianyun began to give Qiu Bujian a complete test.Then measure the range of the sword affected by the evil spirit.Then he mixed the potion, prepared the props, and began to wash the sword.

The most important thing about washing a sword is to wash its material. The sword itself does not need to be washed and cannot be washed.This sword is only in the art realm, that is, the influence of the swordsman stays in the first soil layer.Washing the sword mainly washes the first layer of soil material, which is very easy to wash.Xue Xianyun broke up the talismans connecting various earth materials, and uniform cracks appeared on the sword, which was no longer a whole.

He removed some of the materials that needed refining, refined them in various ways piece by piece, put them back together, and connected them again with symbols.

I have been busy for three days, from morning to night, without stopping.Tang Zhao set his hands carefully, there was almost no chance of getting started, he only did some very simple preparatory work, and he was still too busy to touch the ground.Until late at night on the third day, Fang washed the whole sword and put it in a special potion to stand
Xue Xianyun nodded and said: "It is very lucky to wash the sword this time. The sword is not injured and the materials are all intact. No new materials are used, otherwise three days will not be enough to make suitable materials. Moreover, the symbols used for connection are all used The ready-made symbol pages in the original reserve save some time."

Tang Zhao nodded. He killed the owner of this sword. The Haechi sword was used. The characteristic of the Haechi sword is that it only hurts the guilty.Many swordsmen's attacks are indiscriminate. The sword and the swordsman are damaged together. After a battle, the sword may become broken sword fragments.Not to mention the losers, even the swords of the winners must be cultivated.

"Furthermore, the level of the swordsman of this sword is too low, and the impact on the sword is limited. It will disappear after cleaning the soil layer. The sword of the swordsman must penetrate at least another layer. Water materials are not as easy to separate and disassemble as soil materials. The most troublesome thing is the sword with multiple sword intents, a lot of sword intents are taken away, they are considered impurities, basically stripping the sword to only the sword species is no different from recasting."

Speaking of this, he felt dissatisfied, and thought to himself: I have forged the sword that took out the sword seed and recast it several times, and which one was unsuccessful?How is this different from casting a sword?Why is he not a swordsmith anymore?The people in Jianzhou are extremely old and pedantic. I have to forge a sword from scratch before I admit it. I really blinded them!

Tang Zhao nodded, feeling that the knowledge of swordsmiths was unfathomable, but the simplest tasks were extremely cumbersome, and he felt dazzled even when he was fighting beside him. Every movement had profound knowledge, and he needed to study it.

Studying hard for three years and participating in sword casting is a long way to go.

Tang Zhao made up his mind to devote himself wholeheartedly and study hard.

Try to forge your own sword before the age of twenty!
After staying for another night, Tang Zhao finally walked out of Xue Xianyun's underwater pavilion

Three days later, when Tang Zhao saw the sun again, he felt white in front of his eyes, and he took refuge in the shade for a long time before recovering.

Xue Xianyun asked him to bring Xing Ji here, but Tang Zhao didn't know the way, Xue Xianyun didn't allow him to say more, said: "The first time you are born, the second time you are acquainted, if you don't know the way, you will get to know each other once." Push him away go out.

Tang Zhao was already a little familiar with the teacher's unreasonable character, so he had to ask Ah Xiao, who could only smile "hehe, hehe" and couldn't answer at all.He had to let it take a map and a compass.First take a boat to the big pier, and then transfer to the valley where the guests live.

Fortunately, he has a pretty good sense of direction, and the place is not too remote, so he found the guest house.

I saw that in front of the guest house, there was a crowd of people, and from a distance, there was a mass of people's heads in the dark. Tang Zhao used the water to attack the jade hall, and he didn't see a single person along the way. He didn't realize that there were so many people in Zhuoyu Villa.

Moreover, everyone gathered here has a piece of white jade around their waists, and they are all official white jade disciples.Those Qingyu disciples and Moyu disciples who made up the number were not counted.

Are there hundreds of white jade disciples in Zhuoyu Villa?

These people crowded together, blocking the entrance tightly, Tang Zhao couldn't squeeze in, looked back and forth, and saw a familiar figure.

He went up and patted the other party, and said, "Senior Brother Li, what's going on here?"
