Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

The Six Souls Curse will no longer be a problem for him.

Holding this unique sword, Six-Fingered Black Knight was filled with emotion and gained a completely new understanding of Xu Qing's sword-making skills.

The Mohist school is not without top-notch swordsmiths.

The Xu family has been forging swords for generations, and they have produced countless famous swords.

The person before me also has the surname Xu.

However, in the eyes of Six-Fingered Black Knight, Xu Qing's sword-forging ability had already surpassed that of the Xu clan in the Mechanized City.

Let's give this sword a name!

After giving his instructions, Xu Qing then spoke to the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

Six-Fingered Black Knight was taken aback. "You want me to name him?"

“Well, this sword is connected to your life, so it would be better if you gave it a name.” After a pause, he offered a rather interesting suggestion: “You can think of it as your child.”

Six-Fingered Black Knight was taken aback upon hearing this.

Jing Ni, on the other side, upon hearing this, immediately thought of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

The Luo Wang organization reveres the sword as its master, and those who wield the sword are considered its servants.

However, in Xu Qing's case, the roles were reversed: the man was the father, and the sword was the child.

After pondering for a while, the Six-Fingered Black Knight finally came up with a name, "Let's call this sword—White Rainbow!"

"When this sword was first forged, its light was dazzling, like a rainbow piercing the sun and breaking through the gloom..."

This name is nothing special.

However, Xu Qing still gave Six-Fingered Black Knight a special reminder.

"This sword is golden, and its light is also predominantly reddish-gold..."

“I know!” Six-Fingered Black Knight continued, “The reason I chose this name is because I wanted it to correspond to Ink Eyebrows!”

This reason is impeccable.

As is well known, the Mohist motto is "All under heaven is white, only I am black; non-aggression against the Mohist school, universal love throughout life." The Mohist leader's inherited sword is called "Mo Mei" (墨眉). In addition, Lao Tzu also said, "Know the white, guard the black, and be a model for the world." Black and white are mutually opposed yet mutually dependent.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight is said to correspond to Mo Mei, but is Mo Mei really the only one that corresponds to him?

Perhaps it's also about himself.

The name "Six-Fingered Black Knight" comes from his six fingers, which are his defining characteristic. He has six fingers on his left hand. "Chivalry" is his code of conduct. He is a chivalrous hero who upholds justice and has a great reputation throughout the world.

So, the case is solved.

The real name of Six-Fingered Black Knight is "Black," another little Black? No, he should be called Old Black!

After a moment of random thoughts, Xu Qing turned to the Six-Fingered Black Knight and said, "Do you want me to change the color scheme of your sword?"

"Making its appearance white is not a difficult thing."

Six-Fingered Black Knight was taken aback, not expecting Xu Qing to be able to do such a thing. He then shook his head, "There is no regret when the sword is drawn, nor is there any regret when it is completed. This sword was like this when it was born, so let it remain like this for now."

Actually, he was unsure whether Xu Qing's modifications to the sword would affect its power.

Even if this sword was forged by Xu Qing.

But there are always unexpected events in the world.

Seeing this, Xu Qing shrugged and ultimately said nothing.

……

Just as Xu Qing and others successfully forged a sword called "White Rainbow" at Mount Hua.

Within the Mo Family's Mechanized City, the Xu family also received a mission.

Forge a sharp weapon to assassinate the King of Qin!

After Yan Dan summoned many leaders of the Mohist school and proposed a plan to assassinate the Qin emperor, which was subsequently approved, Yan Dan quickly took up the post and became the acting leader of the Mohist school.

The reason for acting as the leader is twofold: firstly, the whereabouts of Six-Fingered Black Knight are unknown, and his fate is uncertain. Although there is a high probability that he has met with misfortune, there is still a sliver of a chance that he is still alive. Secondly, as the heirlooms of the leader of the Mohist school, Fei Gong and Mo Mei are still outside.

Only by finding these two tokens can Yan Dan be considered a true leader of the Mohist school.

Even so, before the Six-Fingered Black Knight returned, Yan Dan was still powerful enough to command the entire Mo family.

It was because Six-Fingered Black Knight valued Yan Dan too much. Years ago, he was appointed as the successor by Six-Fingered Black Knight. In addition, Yan Dan, who had not experienced that upheaval, was a person who had mastered the art of human relationships. He was very good at winning people's hearts. Although he looked down on those peasants, he pretended to be indifferent to social status and treated everyone equally. He won the favor of many Mohist disciples. Even though he later suffered a severe injury and became a "corpse demon" and was silent for a long time, his return from Qin and his renewed use of the means to win people's hearts immediately awakened the memories of many Mohist disciples, who all sided with Yan Dan.

The assassination attempt on the Qin emperor was also approved by many leaders of the Mohist school.

After the Mohist leadership reached a consensus, this matter naturally needed to be prepared as soon as possible.

After all, the Qin army is still stationed near the Yi River.

Although King Xi of Yan replied to Qin's letter immediately and engaged in a feigned diplomatic relationship with Qin, he neither sent Yan Dan back to Qin nor ceded territory or cities. Qin did not see Yan's sincerity, and no one could say for sure whether Qin would retaliate against Yan in the future.

The reason there's been no action now is simply because the Qin state is busy digesting the spoils from the destruction of the Zhao state.

Once they have digested all of this, it will be time for them to begin their next campaign.

As the Qin state successively destroyed two other states, many people realized this.

Therefore, the Yan state did not have much time left.

Now that the assassination plot against the Qin emperor has been approved, it's impossible to continue it indefinitely.

It must be implemented as soon as possible.

The assassin has been chosen.

Jing Ke!

It's still the familiar Jing Ke. Back when Puyang fell, Jing Ke traveled the world with his junior sister. Later, he joined the Mohist school. The Six-Fingered Black Knight had a life-saving grace for him. It can be said that the Six-Fingered Black Knight was his second master.

The Qin people had left Six-Fingered Black Knight in a state of uncertainty, and coupled with the bloodshed in Puyang years ago, Jing Ke had long harbored deep hatred for the Qin state and Ying Zheng. Therefore, upon learning of Yan Dan's plan, he immediately stepped forward without hesitation.

Of course, the real reason is not that simple. Besides the blood feud, there is another reason, but Jing Ke did not reveal it to the outside world.

Although the Mohists were unaware of the hidden details, they still acknowledged Jing Ke's abilities.

Over the years, Jing Ke has traveled all over the world, becoming a kind of six-fingered black swordsman. He has a great reputation for chivalry in the Yan and Zhao regions. In particular, he created a set of sword techniques, among which the ultimate skill is called "Five-Step Kill," which is an extremely powerful and deadly sword technique.

If it were Jing Ke, given the opportunity, he would certainly be able to kill Ying Zheng.

After the candidates were selected, the most important thing was the weapons.

Only a blade of unparalleled sharpness can shoulder this heavy responsibility.

Inside the Mo Family's mechanical city.

Since his return, Master Xu has been constantly in the sword-forging pool, frantically forging swords.

Over the years, he had actually forged a powerful sword, using cold iron from the far north as its material. He drew inspiration from the "Wind Howling Sword" in Gao Jianli's hand and created the "Water Cold Sword." However, the Water Cold Sword was clearly not suitable for assassinating Ying Zheng.

Therefore, he needs to forge a brand new sword.

Just as Master Xu was working day and night on the matter of forging the sword, an old woman came to him.

"Let me forge this sword!"

"Mother?"

Master Xu, carrying a large iron hammer, looked at his elderly mother with a puzzled expression.

"Six Fingers has been a friend of mine for many years. I'm very saddened by his accident. These old bones of mine don't have much time left, so let me do some things in my last moments..."

"This sword was born with a great mission, and whether or not it can accomplish that mission, it will be unparalleled in the world!"

"They will all surpass that sword..."

Master Xu's expression was solemn; he certainly knew what kind of sword that was.

In the past, his parents were obsessed with forging swords, and their ideas clashed. His father died from overwork while forging the sword, which resulted in an extremely powerful sword. Although the sword was not included in the sword manual and was even called a demonic sword, it did not change the fact that it was an extremely powerful sword.

Because of his father's death, his mother became obsessed and became a demon, vowing to forge a sword that surpassed the demon sword in order to prove that his father's idea of ​​forging swords was wrong.

Chapter 251 Grand Master, how could you not be dead!

After descending from Mount Hua, Xu Qing helped Six-Fingered Black Knight contact the Mo family.

Because of their assistance to Yan Dan in his escape, the Mohist school reduced its strongholds in the Qin state considerably.

Many of the strongholds were deserted.

Even the leader of the Mohist school, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, often missed his target.

It took quite a bit of time before we finally found a useful base.

He could have left Qin directly and headed towards the Mechanical City.

However, his current condition is truly poor, and because of Yan Dan, the Yin-Yang School and the Luo Wang (a powerful organization) of Qin are searching for his whereabouts.

Now he is just an old man with disabilities in both legs. He is able to survive only because of the "White Rainbow Sword" that he always carries with him. Before his condition improves further, it is really not advisable for him to travel long distances.

Okay, the main reason is that it's safer to be near Xu Qing.

To be able to receive the protection of a master like Xu Qing.

However, since I am still alive, it is only right and proper for me to inform the Mo family so that they don't have to worry too much.

Naturally, when the Six-Fingered Black Knight appeared at this stronghold, the Mo family disciples there were also extremely shocked.

"Master, you're not dead!"

Upon seeing the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the Mo family disciple initially thought he was seeing a ghost.

Unlike the Confucianism, which respects ghosts and spirits but keeps them at a distance, the Mohists believed in the existence of ghosts and spirits, and had the concept of "enlightened ghosts." However, the Mohists' belief in ghosts and spirits was not about blind faith, but rather about treating ghosts and spirits with wisdom and rationality. They used ghosts and spirits to instill fear and regarded them as a means of moral education.

"Who said I'm dead?" Six-Fingered Black Knight raised an eyebrow, somewhat displeased. His mindset had changed after the Six Soul Curse was no longer a problem.

"...Your fate was previously unknown, so everyone was saying..." The Mo family disciple stammered, looking ashamed.

If their fate is unknown, then they are dead.

Six-Fingered Black Knight certainly understands this principle.

After thinking it through, he didn't say anything to the disciple in front of him.

Instead, they handed over the prepared letter to the other party, hoping that the other party would deliver it to the Mo family.
