Long Sword and Jun Wu

Chapter 34
Pei Min, Ye Pianzhou, and Ying Wuming rode horses and came to a village in Wuxi. The village was under a mountain, called Xihui Village.

According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to help Gou Jian conquer Wu, Fan Li, a senior official of the Yue State, and his fellow senior official Wen Zhong formulated the nine techniques for destroying Wu. The first eight items were all completed safely under Gou Jian's determination to revenge, except for the last item - casting weapons, He trained soldiers and waited for an opportunity to attack Wu, but failed to find good sword-making materials. After the death of Ou Yezi, the number one swordsmith in the Yue Kingdom, there was no successor for the master swordsmith, so the matter fell into a stalemate for a while.

Later, when mining tin on Xihui Mountain, a strange ore was unintentionally dug out. This ore has a special material, and it is added to iron to cast a sword together, which can make the sword body extremely strong, and the blade is thin and sharp, invincible.Later, Fan Li invited Ou Yezi's successor from Chu State, and under his instruction, Yue State's sword-casting skill reached a new peak.

The Yue State worked day and night to mine copper, refine tin, make furnaces, and forge swords, forging thousands of sharp swords.Three years later, King Goujian of Yue conquered Wu with his troops. He was invincible all the way and broke through Gusu, the capital of Wu. King Fuchai of Wu was defeated and hanged himself.

As time goes by, thousands of years have passed in a flash. The Yue Kingdom, which dominated the Central Plains, has long been submerged in the torrent of history, and Wuxi's tin mines have long been exhausted.The ore that was once regarded as a rare treasure by Fan Li and the King of Yue was presumably all used to make swords, and now only the distant legend is still circulating in this small village.

Ying Wuming stopped in front of a house first, followed by Ye Pianzhou and Pei Min.

The house is still some distance away from the village, next to Xihui Mountain, relatively remote.Ying Wuming's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he sat on the horse, Ye Pianzhou and Pei Min got off the horse, and was about to raise their hands to knock on the door, but they heard someone's voice coming from the yard of the house.

"Mr. Chu Lang, my master is really sincere. He even brought a thousand catties of gold this time. I hope Mr. Chu will accept it with a smile."
A slightly old voice sounded, it seemed that it was a servant of a big family, begging the owner of the house for something.But what exactly is this person?It can actually make someone make a move, and it is a golden jack.

Pei Min still had doubts in his heart, and heard another voice, "Mr. Chu, we spend a lot of money just to see the most superb sword-making technology in the Shang Kingdom. I have inquired about it. Your Chu family is a famous sword-smith, and Among the younger generation, Chu Erlang is the most outstanding."

"Get out!" Before the man finished speaking, another cold scold came from the house.

There was a moment of silence in the house, and then the voice rang out again, "Mr. Chu Lang, there is a saying in Tang Dynasty, "He who knows the current affairs is a hero", and you swordsmiths were born to forge swords. Today, I spare no expense. Asking Mr. Chu Lang for fame, swords and sabers is also respectful of you. Don't let your eyes grow on the top of your head. "
This person might be the master that the servant said, and he tried hard to get it, but he couldn't get it, and he had already begun to speak unscrupulously.

Pei Min was surprised at the strange accent of the master, and heard him say "you are from the Tang Dynasty", and suddenly realized that this person is not an official from the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know where he came from?

Before he finished thinking, he heard "bang", "click", and "bang", and two figures flew out from the door and fell to the ground outside.

Pei Min and Ye Pianzhou had quick eyesight and quick hands, they had already stepped aside, before they had time to care about the two people who were thrown out on the ground, they heard "bang dang, bang dang" and several boxes of golden things were also thrown out.

Pei Min saw the thousand catties of gold and was just thrown out of the door. Thinking about it, Chu Erlang is not a good talker, so how could Master Ye and Ying Wuming bring him here to borrow weapons from him?
Before he was melancholy what to do, a figure appeared at the door. Pei Min looked up. This person was dressed in black and a long robe with a white jade belt around his waist. .Pei Min looked at him, and instantly thought of the pines and cypresses on Taihe Mountain in winter, and his whole body was covered with frost.

"I told you to get lost, because you don't understand human speech?" Mr. Chu Lang suppressed his anger, and said these words through his teeth.

"＊＊##", the master who spoke before opened his mouth to curse something, but it wasn't Da Tang dialect.

Pei Min's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the master, wondering if what this man said seemed to be the same as the man in black he met in Wangqiao Town.

Taking a closer look at the attire of the two of them, the loose clothes and wide trousers are obviously not the clothes of the people of Tang Dynasty.

The master and servant climbed up from the ground cursing, and the servant called the carriage and the boy who had stopped not far away to come over, and picked up the gold scattered on the ground and put it back on the carriage.

The master was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, cursed at Mr. Chu Lang, then got into the carriage and left.

Pei Min really wanted to catch up and ask for clarification, but right now the priority is to save people, so he had to endure it first.

Mr. Chu Lang glanced at Pei Min, with a puzzled expression on his face, his brows were slightly frowned, and he was about to say something when he heard a familiar voice say, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but your temper is still so strong! river."
Chu Jianhe turned his head to look, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, "It's you, Wuxia, why did you suddenly think of me?"
Ying Wuming ignored his sarcasm, and continued: "It's urgent, I want to borrow your "Broken Dragon Sword". "

Chu Jianhe frowned lightly, and after thinking about it, he knew the reason, "It's your family's mess again? Why, they came to you again?"

Ying Wuming pursed his lips and said nothing, only nodded slightly.

Chu Jianhe looked in Pei Min's direction again, and asked, "Then this is...?"
Pei Min bowed his hands to Chu Jianhe, "Taihe Sword School, Pei Min, small character Wen Zhao."
"Pei Shaoxia and his junior sister are guests at the village, and his junior sister was taken away by the second sister." Ying Wuming briefly explained, and then said to Pei Min: "Pei Shaoxia, this is Erlang, Chu Yun, the famous swordsmith, from the Chu family. Chu Jianhe."
Pei Min thought to himself: After being the number one swordsmith in the world, no wonder someone is willing to ask him for a sword with a thousand gold.

"Taihe Sword School?" Chu Yun didn't return the salute, but looked at Pei Min with interest in his cold eyes.

"Do you want to use the Polongjian to deal with the Chalonglash and save your junior sister?" Chu Yun asked.

Pei Min nodded, "I hope Mr. Chu Lang will help you out of righteousness."
"Justice?" Chu Yan repeated coldly, and turned his head to look at Ying Wuming, knowing it already in his heart.

"Yeah, Jianhe, it's an emergency. I, Ye Ji, owe you a favor by lending you the Polongjian." Ye Pianzhou hurriedly persuaded him.

Chu Yun didn't answer, turned his head to give instructions to a small servant, and then turned to Pei Min and asked, "It is said that Ye Zhenren's swordsmanship is the best in the world, but what about his master disciples? If you want to borrow my Polong Sword, it depends on you." There is no such thing!"
Pei Min checked, seeing that Chu Yun was about the same age as him, why did his words and deeds be so indifferent?
Just as he was thinking, the little servant had already handed a sword to Chu Yun, who took it, pulled out the scabbard, and stabbed Pei Min head-on.
