sword sentient beings

Chapter 298 Creative Ideas
The first wave of visits ended soon, and then, people went up to watch the sword one after another.

In addition to the serious government, it would have to be a semi-official government like Xuanshuijian.

In fact, Xuanshuijian can also be regarded as a serious government office like "Qingtian Temple", which is specially set up by the imperial court and is higher than the local government. Like the center of the imperial court, gradually the government orders do not go down to the local area, the control force is insufficient, and there are four major supervisors side by side, without the exclusive status, it is inevitable to retreat a little bit, and the authority is limited.The two young people who came this time are not high-ranking officials, otherwise even the county inheritor should let them go.

However, the situation of the two of them was different from before when they came to the stage. The female supervisor first explained to Tang Zhao: "Sword master, we are going to test the sword. Everyone present is a witness. If anyone has any questions, you can ask them now." After Tang Zhao nodded , They used this to take out a bunch of magic tools, such as rulers and dials, all gleaming, one person tested, one person recorded, and the cooperation was orderly, obviously familiar with the procedures.

Everyone watching from below couldn't help being amazed, and most of them secretly admired - what is professionalism?Not to mention officials and warriors, even ordinary swordsmiths and rune sword masters may not be able to understand all the operations, after all, there are specialties in the art industry.

Although their operation records were trivial and took up a lot of time, no one expressed dissatisfaction.Firstly, the Xuanshui Supervisor was indeed a sword casting supervisor set up by the imperial court, and this was his duty, and no one could criticize him;The friends in Zhuoyu Villa are even more secretly happy, which is also good for Tang Zhao.They have passed the most authoritative inspection, and if other people come up to pick and choose, they will inevitably be suspected of messing around.

The young girl inspected it for a long time, and praised: "It's really a good sword. It is complete, standard, and impeccable. Looking at the wind of the sword and the light of the fire, it is undoubtedly a new sword that has just been tempered. Only the sword intent is pure and incomparable, which is very wonderful. This Is it an ancient sword?"

Tang Zhao said with a smile: "The young supervisor has good eyesight, it is the ancient sword."

At this moment, some people in the underground didn't understand, and they couldn't help muttering: "An ancient sword? Isn't it a new sword? Could it be that he took an ancient sword and refurbished it as his own sword?"

Before Tang Zhao could speak, Xue Xianyun said loudly: "Where did you get the stick? You don't even know about ancient swords. Ancient swords only use one element of Qi, that is, internal force, stellar energy, and sword essence, with an earthy sword body. The swords made are tailor-made for a certain direction, and they are different from the current sword-making system. I don’t understand this, and dare to speak?”

The man was speechless for a while, and then asked: "What? The earthy sword body? Is this sword made of mud?"

At this time, Xue Xianyun couldn't help laughing, waved his hand, and said, "Get lost!"

The female young prisoner didn't bother to pay attention to the people below who didn't understand anything, and together with the male young prisoner, they congratulated Tang Zhao solemnly and said, "Congratulations to Tang Jianshi."

This congratulation was the court's certification, declaring that the dust had settled.

Xue Yeyu watched from the side and clapped his hands quickly, only to hear the sound of flapping wings, countless owls wearing ribbons flew out of the woods, flew to the venue like colorful clouds, and changed ranks as if they were dancing. Countless petals were dropped, like fireworks, announcing the success of the sword casting.Immediately afterwards, Fu Qinghuan sat by the water and played a cheerful pipa to congratulate.

In fact, Xue Yeyu really decided to set off fireworks at the beginning, but there were waterfowls and fishes around, and it would not be beautiful if the fireworks set off to disturb the birds, so he carefully prepared the spectacle of the celestial maiden scattering flowers.Her owl is capable of logistics, throwing mines, scattering flowers, and can perform decathlon.

The congratulatory congratulations from the young prisoner were official, and Tang Zhao hurriedly thanked her for the favor she gave her to justify her name.The female prisoner asked again: "Dare to ask Sword Master Tang, would you like to share your thoughts on sword making?"

This request may seem abrupt, but it is actually an ancient ritual.

In ancient times, evil disasters were severe, the world retreated steadily on the front line, and the number of swordsmen was extremely small.At that time, there was no system for sword casting, and they were mainly exploring independently.So everyone shares the same hatred and is willing to share.All successful swordsmiths are willing to explain their swordsmithing methods in public to enlighten those who come after them. If other swordsmiths succeed, they can have an extra teammate.Many sword casting techniques, sword casting ideas, and material formulas appeared in that era, and the swordsmiths survived the most difficult period of communication and mutual promotion.

But now it’s not the same as before. Although the sword is still a treasure, it’s not so scarce. The swordsmith hides his own knowledge. .The young female prisoner just asked politely, if Tang Zhao refused, then he refused, and proceeded to the next step.

Tang Zhao smiled and said, "I dare not share, but I can share my thoughts with you."

The female prisoner was very surprised that someone was so generous, she naturally only admired it, and said: "Okay, casting ancient swords, performing ancient rituals, and having the style of ancient sages, is admirable. Please speak, Sword Master Tang." Take a few steps back.

The process suddenly added a step, and most of the people present had nothing to do.Anyway, they all came here, and they all had breakfast in the morning, and they were not in a hurry to start the banquet.

Those rune sword masters were excited.Especially the little friends who participated in the Fuhui back then, such as Wu Yunfei, Ju Tianxuan, and Chu Shanxia, ​​they almost recalled the scene when Tang Zhao gave a speech on stage.That was a major topic second only to Zhu Yang's soul research. The scene at that time was very exciting, and I can still recall it now.This time there is more dry goods sharing such as casting swords.Except for Yunxi Yan, almost everyone was paying attention, wishing to sit in the front row.

Tang Zhao came to the stage and bowed as before, but now he was more calm, and said with a smile: "Everyone already knows that what I forge is an ancient sword. The ancient sword has a clear direction, but there are few changes. A sword, but forging a sword for myself. So I have already decided the meaning of the sword before forging the sword."

It's okay for ordinary people to hear this, but the talisman sword masters are very stunned: Is this over?

What is "decision" sword intent?How can you have the final say on sword intent?Even if you use planning and choosing sword intent, it's too much, where can you use "decision"?

"It's difficult to determine the sword's intent according to my own thinking, but fortunately, this sword type fits me, and I already knew my own direction, so the direction of the sword was determined at the beginning. But from the general direction to the specific Sword intent still has a long way to go, I have been having headaches. First, limit the sword intent to a large area. First delineate a large area, and then narrow the range a little bit like an encirclement, and finally shrink to a Point, what is left in the end is the sword intent I selected."

Yes, how did you do it?
Let's talk about it, this is an earth-shattering creation.If it is really possible to determine the intent of the sword, everyone will be able to tailor-made swords in the future. How much efficiency will be improved?

"But I deliberated for a long time, but I still couldn't figure it out, so I didn't dare to forge a sword. But the master succeeded in forging a sword at this time. The intent of his sword was determined by him a long time ago, and the composition of the forging is exactly the same, which is a miracle. I So I asked him for advice, how did he do it? He said that the selection of the sword intent is not a one-time effort, it needs to be carefully studied like a sword that has been sharpened for ten years. I have to teach him hand in hand, and finally passed this time. One level. Then I decided on the sword intent, and then selected materials according to the sword intent. My material selection is also a long-established idea..."

……

Are you done?

A bunch of question marks rose from everyone's heads, and there were two words beside each question mark:

"That's it?"

Doesn't this say nothing?Really listen to what you say, like listening to what you say.

You asked your master for advice, passed this test, but we didn't ask your master for advice?What did you ask for advice, you just said it!

Are you kidding us?

Even a few young people who have a good relationship with Tang Zhao can't help scolding their mothers in their hearts. At most, if they have a good relationship, they can find reasons for Tang Zhao in their hearts: "This kind of secret should not be said in public, just give me some direction." It's not bad." The relationship is not good enough, so there is only scolding left.

But Tang Zhao really didn't mention this issue immediately after that, and talked about his own material matching ideas instead.Needless to say, this step is still somewhat genuine.Especially in order to pursue purity, he chooses pure "gold" materials, and combines all kinds of gold materials without making them too rigid or easy to break, and without making the sword go too far. There is a lot of knowledge in this, which was constructed by Tang Zhao himself. The idea is very worth listening to.All the talisman sword masters listened slowly, and gradually forgot the displeasure of being tricked a lot before.

After all, this is not a Fuhui, and there is no purpose of academic exchange. It is good to listen to you, and you can't ask for too much.Only some people will hear some overtones from it.

Time was limited, and Tang Zhao also stopped after sharing a few key points to pay tribute to everyone.Except for a few talisman sword masters who have gained something, the others who don't know how to do it can't wait for him to shut up and start the banquet.The two young supervisors also said a few words of congratulations, hoping that he would sign the sword casting record.Tang Zhao still smiled and changed the topic without making a decision.

The two had no choice but to hate that they lacked authority and could not control the scene, so they had to go down first.Only then did other people come up and continue watching the sword.Because all the guests are invited in the same way, they are treated equally, so the order is not forced. Local, foreign, friendly, malicious, academic, Jianghu... all kinds of guests come up to watch the sword.Most people look at it for a while, but they can't see anything, and they mainly praise it.A small number of people tried to take the sword, and Tang Zhao didn't stop it. After all, no one caused abnormalities. The new sword was like an iceberg, and no one was moved.

Some people who don't understand will ask questions.Those who are knowledgeable and willing to discuss, Tang Zhao will discuss with him, there will be back and forth, and he will never be asked.The layman asked some inexplicable and even ridiculous words, and Tang Zhao responded with courtesy and patience, so as not to embarrass the other party.For those who were obviously malicious or even provocative, Xue Xianyun jumped up and sprayed back without waiting for Tang Zhao to retort.

In fact, Xue Xianyun may not be quick-witted, sharp-tongued, and may not be able to explain reasoning better than others, but he is embarrassed, and he is not in a hurry to reason. , There is no arrogance to find fault.The scolding was too much, Xue Yeyu came out to turn things around, and pulled the two sides apart with a few words.

At the end, an old woman came up to watch the sword. She looked kind, gentle and courteous. Tang Zhao accompanied her by her side, showing respect to the old.

The old woman looked at it once, praised a few words, and suddenly said: "Since Master Xue has also forged a sword, and he also has a new sword in his hand, why don't you also put it out for me to look up at, so that good things will come in pairs?"
