Chapter 388 Destiny and the Dark Sword Sect, Create a Super Killer
11 turned to look at the old man and asked, "Why did you tell me something?"

The old man smiled faintly, and asked without answering: "Are you interested in following me to the Sword Forging Furnace? The Sword Making Furnace and this Sword Tomb are both important places of the Sword Sect, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the village without waiting for 11's answer.And 11 followed him in the direction of the sword casting furnace without saying a word.

The two walked a long way one after the other, and the villagers they met during the period nodded and bowed respectfully when they saw the old man, while they cast curious and awe-inspiring eyes at 11.This old man is also very kind and approachable, smiling and nodding to everyone he meets.

At this time, the old man suddenly said: "That kid Lu Guan seems to be very interested in you."

11 heard the words and looked back, just in time to see a short figure flashing into a house, although it was only a glimpse, but 11 also recognized that this person was Lao Jiuluguan.This couldn't help but surprise him. He didn't even know when this wretched old man followed him. Only to be reminded.What surprised him was that the old man didn't even turn his head, knowing that it was Lu Guan who was following them.It seems that this small mountain village, which looks ordinary on the surface, is really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden.

11 Although he was surprised, his face remained unchanged, and he said flatly, "I'm not interested in him."

The old man smiled and said: "Lu Guan's own martial arts are not very good, but he has a deep understanding of side things, such as medicine, formations, and Fengshui Xuanshu. If you are interested, ask him for advice. It will be helpful to you." help."

After a pause, the old man asked again: "Have you noticed that Zhuhai Village is surrounded by eight mountains?" Seemingly knowing that 11 would not answer him, the old man said to himself: "Actually, this is the place that Chang Minggong chose. The reason for living in seclusion is that the eight mountains formed a natural gossip formation, protecting the village in the middle. If you don’t know the right way to enter the mountains, you will easily get lost. When I was young, I followed my father into the mountains to hunt. Wan and his father got lost. They thought they could go down the mountain and go home, but after running in the mountains for several days and nights, they finally realized that they were just running from one mountain to another, but they couldn’t find a way out. Master and the others went into the mountain to bring me back. If I didn’t know some self-defense skills at that time, and there were no too ferocious beasts on this mountain, otherwise I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to wait for Master and them to come looking for me.”

11 asked as he walked, "Is there really a formation in this world?"

"Of course there is." The old man said noncommittally: "If you talk about the wonders of formations, the technique of Qimen Dunjia is the first to be recommended. Once the situation changes, ghosts and gods are unpredictable. Unfortunately, there should be few people in this world who really understand Qimen Dunjia. Then there is the Eight Diagrams Formation, oh yes, there is also a Zhuge Bagua Village in Lanxi in the south, which is said to be built by Zhuge Liang’s descendants. When I was young, I and a few brothers followed the two masters and uncles to enter the world for experience, and we also passed by there Zhuge Bagua Village seems to be built by Zhuge Dashi, a descendant of Zhuge Liang. All the houses and buildings are arranged in a Bagua formation. As a result, no matter how I walked, I came across a dead end, and finally found my way over the wall. Unfortunately, although this Bagua Village is good, it still does not have the essence of Bazhentu. It is probably because Zhuge Liang’s descendants cannot comprehend the true essence of Bazhentu. It’s out of the way, just build it according to the plan, otherwise it’s really not that easy to figure it out based on the way of us back then.”

11 asked: "So, is there a formation that can make people disappear suddenly and then appear in another place?" In fact, 11 has always been worried about Wentian's ability to disappear suddenly. If you have the ability to come and go without a trace, then it will be a breeze to perform missions or evacuate in the future.

"Suddenly disappeared?" The old man thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "There are only two ways to do it, one is the supreme lightness skill, but this lightness skill has long been lost, and I just heard it from the masters and uncles." The second is the blinding method in the array, which is to use the array to create an effect similar to a mirage in the desert, forming a visual illusion, not a sudden disappearance in the true sense. You have to ask Lu Guan about these things Yes, he knows better."

Illusion? 11 thought about it and immediately rejected it.At the beginning, he clearly felt that Wentian was standing in front of him, and he could even feel the body temperature and smell of Wentian.But just as soon as he grabbed it, Wentian suddenly disappeared, and then appeared at a distance away. That kind of real feeling should not be a trick.But how did God do it?

Thinking of this, 11 looked back and saw Lu Guan, who was still hanging far behind the two of them, was hiding behind a corner, only showing half of his head and secretly looking at this side.Seeing 11 looking back at him, Lu Guan first smiled at him with cracked teeth, then looked at the back of the old man with some fear, and retracted his head behind the corner of the wall with hesitation.Seeing Lu Guan's evasive manner, he was obviously afraid of this old man, but what was he afraid of?

"Here we are, here is the sword casting furnace." The old man pointed to a row of blue brick houses in front of him and said.

11 I passed by here before, but I saw young guys at the door holding household kitchen knives and striking iron, so I thought it was a blacksmith shop.

At this time, when the five young men who were blacksmithing saw the old man, they immediately stopped what they were doing, and said respectfully to the old man, "Uncle Master."

The old man ignored them, just nodded, and said to 11: "The sword casting furnace is divided into an outer room and an inner room. The inner room is the real place for casting swords. This is the outer room for the daily iron casting practice of the Jianzong sect. , and by the way, help the villagers repair ironware and the like. Come in with me."

11 As the old man bypassed the blacksmith shop in the front room and went directly to the backyard, he discovered that this sword-making room was completely different from the sword-making rooms of those swordsmiths in the movie.The entire sword casting room covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, and it is also an ancient style building with blue bricks and black tiles.There are many windows, and even the skylights on the tiled roof are opened a lot, probably because they are worried that it will be too hot inside and people will be stuffy.

There are three large furnaces in the sword-making room, and there are several blacksmithing tables made of pig iron next to each furnace.At this time, there was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s and two young guys were surrounding a blacksmithing table. The middle-aged man held a burning red sword in one hand and a Hammer, from time to time, hit the unformed blade, and then carefully explain to the two young men the strength and heat to be mastered.

When the old man and 11 came in, the middle-aged man and the two young men were taken aback for a moment, and immediately said respectfully, "Uncle Fourteen, have you gone down the mountain?"

The two young men also said: "Uncle Master."

The old man nodded, pointed at the middle-aged man, and introduced to 11: "He is the No. 30 Ninth Generation Sword Sect disciple of the same generation as Lu Xuan and the others. He is ranked seventh, and his name is Shi Dali. Every disciple of our Sword Sect has To forge a sword of their own, Dali is responsible for teaching them how to forge swords."

Regardless of Shi Dali and the three of them's stunned gazes, the old man picked up a discarded iron sword beside him and looked at it, and said, "Don't underestimate the craftsmanship of sword casting, the materials, site selection, and skills required , Timing, patience and carefulness are all indispensable. If you are a little careless, even if you have the best material, it will be tantamount to waste if you fall into your hands." Saying this, the old man squeezed the hilt of his sword and shook it lightly. With a sound, the long sword in his hand broke from it.

The old man put aside the broken sword, looked at 11 and said, "If you want to make your own sword, you can come here anytime, and Dali will teach you."

"No need." Eleven asked again: "You brought me here just to make a sword?"

"No, it's not for you to forge a sword, but for you to learn how to forge a sword."

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course." The old man smiled slightly and said, "Forging a sword is different from learning to forge a sword. One of the two is the process, and the other is the result. You are not a disciple of Jianzong, and you don't need the result. I just hope you can Calm down and study carefully and enjoy the process.”

"I understand." 11 said lightly, "It's like fishing. You need to be patient while waiting for the fish to be hooked. After the fish is hooked, you will enjoy the achievement."

The old man applauded and laughed: "It's really easy to talk to you, yes, I just hope you can enjoy the process of making swords, which will be of great help to your future martial arts improvement."

11 thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No need."

The old man held out a palm to stop him and said, "Don't rush to refuse, anyway, you have nothing to do here, you can ask Lu Xuan, Lu Guan and others for advice in your spare time, or come here to find Dali to forge swords, these will help you improve in the future." The Martial Arts Society is of great help. I will come back to pick you up to Tianlang Peak in a month to meet Uncle Huang."

11 shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in your Shishu Shizu, and I don't have time to waste a month here."
