The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 2110 Sword Has Soul

Tong Fengwu nodded: "You are right. But I was not invited by him. If you invite me, you must first listen to whether I agree or not. He couldn't help but send someone to arrest me directly. I was Shu Aobai is under house arrest in the inner city of Tianshu Island in a disguised form. But he treats me very politely, doesn't worry about eating and drinking, and doesn't allow anyone to disturb me, so you can see that the people outside are still very afraid of me Yes, I dare not come in and search, so you are still safe here for the time being."

"Old Tong, the Nine Heavens Black Iron is still there, are you in trouble for refining?"

"That's right. I originally thought that with my means, it would be easy to forge some weapons and magic weapons, but I was wrong. This black iron is not unusual. I tried to forge a small piece, but because I couldn't do it at all In the end, the black iron was also scrapped, which was even worse than the one you got just now. So I didn't dare to try it lightly. I kept trying to find a way, and finally figured it out. This black iron came from the sky. It landed on an island again, separated by heaven and earth, and separated by mountains and rivers. It has two attributes of yin and yang at the same time. Therefore, it is necessary to use the two internal forces of yin and yang to stimulate the fire at the same time. That's why I kept trying other materials and kept trying not successful."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help thinking of those waste swords, and also thought of the vague sigh I heard in the kiln just now.

I asked, "Old Tong. I want to ask you, why do I cry when I look at those damaged swords? I have never had this situation before."

Tong Fengwu smiled slightly: "You can have this kind of reaction, which means that you are born to be a seedling of refining equipment. You said that you are a pharmacist, maybe the two have something in common. But medicine has no soul, and equipment is With a soul. That's the difference again. Do you know what I mean?"

I thought for a while and said, "You mean, all the utensils you refine have souls? Just because they have souls, they also have life, so when I see them damaged, it means the loss of life." , that’s why there is compassion and grief?”

Tong Fengwu nodded: "That's right. As I said, the weapons we refine can kill people, and the magical weapons we refine can subdue demons. Take the sword as an example, a sword can kill people , but the sword I refined can kill people with sword energy. To achieve this, let it have a soul, which is the most basic. I didn’t tell you these things before. And this kind of emotion shows that you have a spiritual connection with these utensils, and you should be a craftsman by nature. It is a pity that the craftsmanship of our Tong family has always been passed down from our ancestors. We Never accept apprentices, otherwise I will definitely accept you as an apprentice."

I waved my hand and said with a wry smile: "Thank you, Mr. Tong, for looking at me. I really don't have the idea of ​​learning how to forge weapons. Mr. Tong can refine this lifeless copper and iron tool into a soul, which shows the Tong family's forging skills The level is simply unimaginable, rare in the world."

Speaking of the refining skills of the Tong family, it should be very exquisite.It's just that I just heard Tong Fengwu talk about it just now, and I haven't really seen his methods yet.Because what I saw was just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron. These things obviously did not prove how high the level of their Tong family was. On the contrary, these were ironclad proofs of his failure.

And I have to continue to curry favor with this old man, after all, my life is still in his hands.As long as he opens the door and shouts, I, an uninvited guest who broke into the inner city, will be arrested immediately.Although I feel that this possibility is getting smaller and smaller, because the old man's attitude towards me has eased a lot now, and he even has the intention of pulling me into a long talk all night.

But it's always right to say a few words of compliment. As the saying goes, flattering is not flattering.

Unexpectedly, after hearing my words, Tong Fengwu sneered, and said, "I'm not a god, how could it be possible to forge a soul out of a lifeless iron tool? Not to mention me, it's Ou Yezi, the ancient master swordsmith. , Zhang Yajiu can't do it either."

I was stunned: "Since you can't make this iron object have a soul, why do you say that there is a soul in the sword? Where does this soul come from?"

Tong Fengwu didn't answer right away, with a complicated expression on his face.

My mind turned, and I suddenly understood, and I opened my mouth and said: "Could it be... that the sword is a human soul? You, you, you... killed someone?"

Tong Fengwu still didn't answer directly, but just asked lightly: "Do you know Ganjiang Moxie?"

I nodded, even though I don't know much about the swordsmithing business, I know these two famous people.It should be two master swordsmiths in the Warring States period, also a husband and wife, they made the two swords of Ganjiang Moxie, one female and one male.But that's all I know.

Tong Fengwu continued: "Back then, General Mo Xie was ordered to cast swords for the King of Wu. In order to refine a sword that could satisfy the King of Wu, the general specially selected some rare treasures. The magic weapon refined must be very extraordinary, but he didn't expect that the fire could not melt it. He has smelted these treasures for a long time but there is still no change, let alone casting a sword, which makes him very Be impatient, because if you can't make a sword, the couple will definitely die."

"Is it because they can't fuel the fire with internal force?" I asked.

Tong Fengwu shook his head: "This is inevitable. They are just ordinary swordsmiths. Of course, they have no internal force, and they cannot use internal force to fuel the fire. However, his wife Mo Xie told the general at the time, "All magical materials must be prepared with Human offerings can only be melted away. This is what Master taught us back then. Have you forgotten? "When the words fell, she got up and cut off her hair, nails and other things, and threw them into the stove, and then asked her disciples to burn the coals with all their strength. At this moment, she jumped, threw herself into the stove, and died by burning herself Ganjiang endured his grief and forged swords with tears in his eyes, and finally forged the world-famous Ganjiang Moye's two magical weapons. It is said that Moye's soul was contained in the two swords at that time."

After listening to Tong Fengwu finish telling the story of the sword casting, my heart grew colder and colder as I listened to it, which shows that my speculation is reasonable.It's just that Mo Xie took the initiative to cast the stove, but it's different here.Maybe it was Tong Fengwu who pushed the living people into the furnace to refine the sword.

Seeing the change in my expression, Tong Fengwu waved his hand: "Don't guess, I'm not that perverted yet, and I won't let living people throw swords into furnaces."

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Then the soul in this sword is..."
