After the world collapsed

Chapter 107 The Meaning of Sword Mountain
Zhang Sheng found something strange. Almost everyone in this city is equipped with a sword.Sword Mountain City, is it because there are so many swords in this city?Otherwise, he would not have seen the existence of mountains in this city, only that would make sense.

"Take you somewhere." Xiao Yicai said pretending to be mysterious.

The area of ​​Jianshan City does not seem to be too large, but things about swords can be seen everywhere in the city.There is a sword hanging on the front of the shops on both sides of the street, and some people even directly made the plaque into the shape of the sword body.

After following Xiao Yicai through a few long streets, Zhang Sheng felt that there were more people around him, and the whole street became more lively, probably because he had reached a prosperous area in the city.

"People here seem to have a soft spot for swords?"

Along the way Zhang Sheng walked, he felt that the swords on everyone passing by were not for self-defense at all, but a status symbol. Fortunately, he also had a sword on his waist. Although it was a bit shorter, it was not He will attract as much attention as Xiao Yicai.

Xiao Yicai waved his fan and swaggered in front, afraid that others would not know that he was not a local. All the passers-by around him gave him sideways glances, but he himself ignored those gazes and remained the same.

At this moment Xiao Yicai who was walking in front finally stopped. Zhang Sheng had deliberately kept a distance from him, with an expression on his face that I didn't know him, but now he had to follow up.

At this time, there is a stone step in front of them. The stone step is very wide. It is no problem to pass three or four carriages at the same time. There is a statue at the left and right ends, with a sword on the left and a hammer on the right. A rough piece, but it can't make people feel contemptuous.

There are about dozens of stone steps, and the upper end is about as high as a two-storey small building, so Zhang Sheng can't see the situation above the steps from below.

"It's been a long time..." Xiao Yicai sighed and went straight up the stone steps.

When there were about ten steps before the end of the stone steps, Zhang Sheng felt enlightened. At first glance, there seemed to be many huge swords lined up in the distance. It was only when he climbed the stone steps that he realized that these huge swords It was actually a building.

The top of each building looks like a sword hilt, with the head of the sword on the top and the handle, and the protruding sword lattice is exactly the eaves.This is the first time Zhang Sheng has seen such a peculiar building, and he has seen so many at one time.

"This is Jianshan." After Xiao Yicai finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal Zhang Sheng to follow.

It turns out that the highlands in this city are like the horizontal seats of mountains, and these strange sword-style buildings are combined with it to form a sword mountain.

Each building here is relatively far away from each other, so you can observe the sword ornaments on each building for a long time once you walk through it.

The sword decorations on these roofs are different from the two statues on the stone steps. These sword decorations are exquisitely crafted for no other reason than to attract customers.

Why attract customers, Zhang Sheng immediately knew what the sword mountain was for after seeing these buildings.

Except for the peculiar sword ornaments on each building, the other places are the same as the blacksmith shop he went to in Linyuan City of Izumo Kingdom. These buildings are all used to make swords.

This Sword Mountain is hidden in Jianshan City. Before climbing the stone steps, the city was very lively. Once on the top of Sword Mountain after climbing the stone steps, it suddenly became much quieter. Only sporadic sounds of clanging irons could be heard. There are even fewer pedestrians.

But what concerned Zhang Sheng the most was the atmosphere above the sword mountain. There seemed to be a sense of desolation flowing in the air. It seemed that his guess was correct.

"Brother Zhang should have understood it, right? This Sword Mountain City is a place named for casting swords."

Zhang Sheng smiled slightly when he heard the words, nodded and replied: "This place is not bad, I want to take a good look around."

"Jianshan City has gathered almost half of the Qianyuan Realm swordsmiths. If you can't find a satisfactory sword here, then the entire Qianyuan Realm should be impossible."

"Oh?" Hearing this made Zhang Sheng a little surprised. This is just a mortal city in the Great Jin Kingdom. How could there be such an evaluation?Could it be that?

Zhang Sheng immediately pinched a formula with his right hand and performed the Qi Watching Technique. Sure enough, several different colored auras appeared in front of him, and there were really immortal cultivators hiding in them.

It seems that this place is not just for mortals to forge swords.

"Brother Zhang should have seen it too. The sword is so pure that it doesn't distinguish between immortals and mortals. Here you can even see the scene of a cultivator worshiping a mortal." Xiao Yicai saw Zhang Sheng's movements and knew that he was using that miraculous method of observing qi again. decided.

Zhang Sheng also heard the conversation between Qi Sheng and Zhen Xiaofan when he was in the Shenjiang Mansion. The daily exchanges between these two new and old craftsmen gave Zhang Sheng a little understanding of the journey of crafting.

Sword casting is a kind of refining weapon, a small branch.Artifact refiners usually focus on how to inject spirits, that is, to inject spiritual energy into the spirit tool mold. The higher the degree of completion, the higher the level of the spirit tool, and the stronger the natural power.

And the sword casting is precisely the mold of the spiritual tool. The swords made by mortal swordsmiths are naturally sharp weapons in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of immortal cultivators, they are not much different from wooden sticks if they cannot be injected with energy. is mold.

Because these people don't need to spend time researching spirit injection, some even spend their entire lives researching how to make better "molds", and what's more, they only invest in one type of mold, which is naturally better than those involved in complex refiners Teachers need to be proficient in many things.

Therefore, in order to be proficient in spirit injection, some craftsmen will also recruit some mortal foundry masters under their door to create fine blanks for him.

It seems that there are quite a few such refiners in Jianshan City, because as Xiao Yi said just now, there are probably many master swordsmiths gathered here, those who want to refine sword-style spiritual weapons by themselves The teacher will naturally come to have a look.

Then Xiao Yicai gave him a detailed introduction to the background of Jianshan City.

Almost all the sword weapons in the Great Jin Kingdom were made by swordsmiths in Jianshan City. Although they were not cast in this city, the swordsmiths were hired from here.

Therefore, relying on the way of forging swords, Jianshan City has also gained a lot of benefits, and the people here naturally regard forging swords as crowns.

The top swordsmiths are respected as honored guests by those refiners in the world of cultivating immortals, let alone these mortals, people here are proud to be able to wear a sword made by a swordsmith, and even have a sword made by a swordsmith every year. Of the people who come from various places to study with their masters, there are naturally many immortals who come here.

Although psychic technology has developed rapidly in recent years, and various psychic weapons have emerged in an endless stream, this still has not changed the status of Jianshan City as a sword maker.Because the sword is the simplest and most practical weapon for killing, it is known as the "lord of a hundred soldiers". Many immortals use swords when they enter the Tao.

Even if all kinds of new spiritual weapons emerge in endlessly, they still cannot shake the sword's position in the battle of immortals and even mortals, at least in the Qianyuan realm.

"Don't brother Zhang learn the way of swordsman?" Xiao Yicai glanced at the white dagger hanging on Zhang Sheng's waist and said. He remembered that when he first met Zhang Sheng, he used a kind of sword that didn't look like a sword or a knife. The weapon of the saber was still a mortal, and after the mortal was shattered, this dagger was used.

So he always thought that Fanpin was used by Zhang Sheng casually.However, Zhang Sheng shook his head after hearing his question, which was somewhat unexpected.

"Short swords are also good, but I'm better at using horizontal knives."

"Horizontal knife? What kind of knife is that, why have I never heard of it, is it the knife you used when we met Qingyan?"

"Yes."

"I remember the style of that knife is very strange. I have never seen a weapon with such a slender blade like a sword, but only with a single blade and a point." Xiao Yicai said vaguely recalling the scene at that time.

Zhang Sheng smiled dumbly: "Hey, I'm just used to it. By the way, I wonder if we can make knives here?"

Xiao Yicai was taken aback for a moment, he had brought Zhang Sheng here with the intention, but now he knew that Zhang Sheng was actually making knives instead of swords, he didn't know what to do.

After all, although the appearance of a knife and a sword is roughly the same in the eyes of ordinary people, they are indeed completely different things in the eyes of a swordsmith.

Fortunately, they have a lot of choices. It looks like they are all swordsmith shops. The different sword decorations on each roof should have their own explanations, and the doorway may only be seen by experts.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng looked at Xiao Yicai, and then at those sword ornaments.

The latter also noticed his gaze, and smiled awkwardly: "I don't know too well, the last time I came was seven or eight years ago, when Master brought me and my younger brothers and sisters to pick swords."

"Result?" Zhang Sheng asked curiously.

"It turns out that I'm not good at using swords, and so are my juniors, but a few of my juniors got sword blanks."

Xiao Yicai didn't seem to have used any other types of spiritual weapon except a fan, and Cong Lingshan used a long whip. It seems that this pair of brothers and sisters has no fate with swords.

"Why did you Xiaoyaozong come to choose the sword?"

"Actually, our Xiaoyao Sect's original heart method is called Xiaoyao Sword Art, and Xiaoyao Sect also became famous in Qianyuan Realm with this sword art." Xiao Yicai said a little embarrassedly.

Obviously, he, a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, did not practice his own sword arts for some reason, but chose to practice other methods. It is no wonder that he looked a little strange when he talked about it.

"Let's just take a look."

"Boom!" Just as Zhang and Sheng walked up to the first sword-making shop, a figure flew upside down from inside and flew several feet away, and rolled seven or eight times before stopping when it landed, motionless.

Xiao Yicai frowned, and calmly stopped Zhang Sheng who wanted to go over to check.

"What Jianshan City, is it at this level?"

A disdainful voice came from the sword shop, and a young man in golden soft armor came out, with a broken sword blank in his hand.

His voice was not low, and he could hear it clearly even on the slightly noisy Sword Mountain.But to Zhang Sheng's surprise, no one from the other sword shops came out to look.

Xiao Yicai said in a low voice: "These swordsmiths are actually competing with each other in secret. This one seems to be thrown into the shop because of his poor skills. The other swordsmiths will not help."

I saw the young man using the half of the sword blank to play with the sword flower with one hand, and left the sword shop swaggeringly, walking straight into the sword mountain, followed by two tall heavy-armored guards. The background is not small.
