Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1039 Whose title is more popular?

"Oh..." Tian Ming nodded in understanding.

He still only has a vague concept of mechanism art, and cannot understand what the so-called core actually represents.

At this time, a series of harsh creaking sounds broke through the roar and reached everyone's ears. Tianming subconsciously raised his head and looked over. It turned out that the suspension bridge was lowered.

This iron-clad solid wood bridge, which is more than ten feet long, two feet wide and about a foot thick, can be regarded as a link in the defense line of the government city.

In fact, after going deep into the mechanism city, the highly lethal mechanisms such as the crossbow array and the mechanism tunnel are basically gone. After all, the danger is there, and they are replaced by various suspension bridge gates.

These suspension bridge gates are all controlled by mechanisms. Once a foreign enemy invades, the switch can be cut off unilaterally and turned into a mode that can only be opened from one side to block the opponent's attack.

Therefore, the name of the government city is really not something people tout. It is really difficult to deal with.

Even if there is an invasion by invincible outsiders, at least it will not be difficult to give them time to escape - at worst, we will give up the territory to you first and leave it to the future!
  The organ city itself was dug into the mountain, and its internal structure was basically original—all made of stone. In other words, it would be difficult for outsiders to destroy it.

The only thing that is easier to destroy is the plank road outside, but with the Mo family's technology, it is not difficult to rebuild.

As for directly occupying the magpie's nest and seizing the Mohist's territory, it is also unrealistic.

The main problem is that it is too difficult to get in and out!
  In general, this unique location advantage of the Mohist family really makes it hard for people to talk about the government city.

The group passed the suspension bridge, and there was another thick bronze gate in front of them.

Before they could pull the switch, the gate opened by itself, and then a group of people walked out.

The leader was a thin old man wearing a loose linen robe with white beard and hair.

When Master Ban saw the person, he immediately smiled and said, "It's really strange today. Even if Thief Zhi comes here, Brother Xu, are you willing to go out and pick me up?"

Thief Zhi flashed to the front and showed a yawning smile, "Old man Ben, this is because you are overthinking. Why is Lao Xu here? I can guess it with my toes!"

Master Ban stroked his beard and smiled, "That's true. The only one who can make Brother Xu come out is..."

Having said this, class master Xue Nu and others who knew Master Xu all unanimously turned their attention to Gai Nie Chenhe who was at the end of the team.

Or rather, on their swords.

Master Xu's eyes were fixed on Yuan Hong from the beginning, and he didn't even pay attention to Master Ban and Taizhi who were talking to him.

At this time, Gai Nie also lowered his head to look at his sword, and saw Yuan Hong buzzing and trembling in the sheath, as if he was about to take it out at any time.

Tianming, who didn't know why, also followed the crowd's gaze and found that the focus of his eyes was his uncle Yuan Hong.

Before he could figure out why, Yuan Hong suddenly unsheathed his sword and flew out with a clatter, passed by the unprepared Tian Ming, and fell into the hands of Xu Fuzi who was not far away.

Master Xu took the flying Yuan Hong, drew a sword flower in the air, and placed the sword steadily on his chest. He put the two fingers of his left hand together and gently stroked it slowly, feeling the coldness carefully. The unique texture on the sword edge.

However, at this time, he did not feel the excitement that a swordsmith would feel when seeing a sword. Instead, his eyes were lowered, with a little sadness.

Tianming keenly sensed the emotions of the old man in front of him, and felt a little baffled.

Why was he so sad when he saw his uncle Yuan Hong?
  After Xu Fuzi rubbed Yuan Hong back and forth, he held it upright in front of him, bent the two fingers of his left hand, and flicked it.

Zheng!
  A clear chime sounded immediately, and the roar of the water resounded throughout the mountain. At this time, Gai Nie probably guessed the identity of the old man in front of him. He walked forward, clasped his fists in greeting and said, "Is it possible that your Excellency is..."

Hearing the voice, Master Xu came out of his daze and took the initiative to introduce me, "My surname is Xu. To save face, brothers, please call me Master Xu."

"As expected, it is Master Xu who is known as the 'Sword Master'. I have admired him for a long time!"

Master Xu's name is even more famous than some top masters in the world. After all, this is a world where swords are the most respected, and he is one of the few sword masters in the world.

Not to mention anything else, among the current top ten sword forgers in the sword manual, only Master Xu is a contemporary swordsmith, and the others have basically passed away.

The closest swordsmith besides him was Yuan Hong's predecessor, Can Hong's forger, who was also Master Xu's mother.

It can be said that in the past fifty years, the most famous swordsmiths in the world have all belonged to the Xu family.

Such people are naturally highly respected by people in the world.

Gai Nie's own sword and the sword of his junior brother Wei Zhuang all came from the Xu family, so of course they were no strangers to Master Xu.

When Tianming heard what Gai Nie said, he couldn't help but murmured, "'Sword Master'? This title is so bluffing. Why does it feel like it's more powerful than the uncle's title of Sword Master?"

Gai Nie did not respond to the title question, but just lectured, "Tianming, don't be rude!"

"Oh..." Tianming curled his lips and stepped aside honestly.

Thief Zhi was more loyal and came over to explain to him, "Hey, boy, you don't know this. Lao Xu is a swordsmith, not a swordsman."

"People call him the 'Master of Swords' because he is a good swordsman, which is completely different from your uncle's Sword Master."

"Oh! That's it." Tianming understood and nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Master Xu said to Gai Nie, "This sword was the last work of my mother during her lifetime... It is a perfect match for it to be your sword."

After saying that, he stretched out his hands and returned Yuan Hong to Gai Nie.

When Tianming heard this, he understood why the old man had that expression just now. It turned out that he was missing his mother.

Gai Nie took Yuan Hong back and put the sword into its sheath. Master Xu reminded him, "There is another sword in the city, which is incompatible with Yuan Hong's sword. From the selection of materials to the casting process, the two swords are destined to be incompatible." , although its ranking in the sword manual is lower than Yuan Hong, but you’d better be careful.”

Master Xu was naturally referring to the Shui Han Sword he forged, and the person he warned Gai Nie to be careful about was Gao Jianli, the master of the Shui Han Sword, one of the leaders of the Mohist clan, and Jing Ke's best friend.

Unlike Duan Murong, the snow girl who didn't have a bad impression of Gai Nie, Gao Jianli's life was directly saved by Jing Ke back then, and they were close friends who could live and die together.

After the assassination of Qin, Gu Xun undoubtedly became Gao Jianli's sworn enemy. However, Gai Nie, who also tried to stop Jing Ke, was also hated by Gao Jianli and disliked him very much.

If the two of them met, even a man like Master Xu who was obsessed with making swords would guess that the scene would not be pretty.

Gai Nie nodded silently to this reminder, indicating that he had taken note of it.

Actually...he didn't pay much attention.
