I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 417 Sword Forging
Liu Shijiu traveled all night, and just as Qin He said, he ran into Liu Qi and his group who had just come out of the post station at dawn the next day.

Liu Qi rubbed his eyes and looked at the dusty and angry Liu Shijiu, and asked curiously: "Why are you here?"

Shouldn't she be confined to the capital?
Liu Nineteen said nothing, staring at Liu Qi with his round eyes for a long time, until he found that Liu Qi turned around and wanted to leave, then he hurriedly said: "Wait!"

Liu Qi turned around and asked softly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Seeing Liu Qi's calm demeanor, Liu Nineteen was even more furious. She suppressed her anger and walked forward with her hands on her waist. After looking Liu Qi up and down, she immediately said, "You seem to be living a comfortable life. The world is in chaos now, but you still have the mood to travel to Jiangnan."

"Who said I was going to Jiangnan for fun?" Liu Qi heard the sarcasm in Liu Jiujiu's words, and she replied calmly, "Besides, how did you get out of the capital?"

When Liu Qi asked about this, Liu Shijiu's eyes suddenly showed resentment, and he said in a chilling tone: "It was the people from Taiyi Sect who rescued us."

Taiyi Sect, Yue Qingyao?
Liu Qi thought that Yue Qingyao was also in the capital at that time. Although it was no problem for her to escape by herself, it was a bit wishful thinking to want to save others.

Liu Nineteen saw the confusion in Liu Qi's eyes, so he explained unhappily: "It was the brother of Le Xingxing. They seemed to be coming for Sister Zhou. Sister Zhou and I were together at the time, so they saved me."

Liu Shijiu told Liu Qi exactly what happened after she was rescued.

Not far from the two of them, next to a tree where two horses were tied, Tianxiang was rubbing her hands while breathing out hot air, and occasionally looking up to observe the situation over there over Liu Qi.

"So the strange poison that swept across the entire capital was made from the remains of the God of Fire." Liu Qi murmured thoughtfully, "No wonder, no wonder..."

It is obvious that those legendary ancient gods, including the so-called Mother Goddess, are nothing more than people who have reached a certain level of cultivation.

Based on known information.

In order to restart and embark on the road to heaven, the support of all the energy in the world is needed.

If it is true as the legend says, that the Mother Goddess had already opened the road to heaven and officially embarked on the road to heaven, then she had gone much further than the Great Qin Emperor.

Whether it was from the murals or the illusory scenes that Liu Qi had experienced several times, the flying scenes and the scenes of the sky and the earth collapsing that he had seen, it could be seen that the Mother Goddess at that time had mobilized all the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth.

Although it ultimately failed, it did reshuffle everything in the world.

This is also the reason why Liu Qi felt that those strange poisons, although of the same origin, had extremely strong destructive power on the body.

In other words, what is in the bodies of the people in the capital now is not poison at all, but the purest Yuan Qi from the previous era. The source of this Yuan Qi comes from the god of the previous era, the God of Fire.

Liu Qi said that when one’s cultivation reaches this level, one should be prepared to be reduced to ashes before the end of one’s life.

Countless facts have proved that the martial arts will of a grandmaster can last for thousands of years without dissipating.

Even after death, the remaining martial arts will in the body will maintain the normal circulation of true energy, and in special environments can actually ensure the immortality of the body for many years.

This kind of body that retains the will of martial arts and whose true energy has not yet dissipated is undoubtedly more precious than magic weapons such as the killing sword that contain the will of martial arts.

Use it to make poison...Gu Liancheng really could think of this!
"So..." Liu Qi asked with a strange look on his face, "Could it be that Yue Qingyao is planning to use the remains of the ancestors of the Canghai clan to refine the corresponding antidote?"

The Canghai clan is the descendants of the water god.

If you think about it carefully, the Qi of the God of Fire and the God of Water counteract each other, so it is a perfect way to use them to refine the antidote.

Liu Nineteen also nodded with a strange look on his face.

Although they were secretly trained as assassins since childhood, they found it a bit strange to hear about the method of refining the remains of their ancestors into medicine.

Seeing this, Liu Qi couldn't help but sneer and asked, "Are you sure that Zhou Mi's ancestor's body is still there?"

Liu Nineteen shook his head. "According to Sister Zhou, her ancestor smashed the road to heaven when he tried to stop the Mother Goddess from flying, and was buried underground by the fragments of the pillar of heaven. That place is now the Kunlun Desperate Place, one of the three great desperate places."

Liu Qi glanced at Liu Nineteen thoughtfully: "You came all the way to find me, are you planning to let me go to Kunlun Desperate Place?"

Liu Nineteen shook his head at first, but then nodded again: "It's not me who is looking for you, it's Sister Zhou who is looking for you."

Liu Qi refused outright: "Impossible."

She paused, then continued, "At least not now."

As he spoke, Liu Qi slightly turned sideways to reveal his waist. The place where the dagger should have been hanging was now empty.

She said seriously: "Look, I don't even have a knife anymore."

……

on the official road.

The original team of two people now became three people.

Liu Nineteen did not react to Liu Qi's decision to refuse to go to Kunlun Desperate Place.

Instead, she stayed and followed Liu Qi to Jiangnan.

"Why does it have to be Jiangnan?" Liu Nineteen couldn't help but turned his head and asked.

Liu Qi was closing her eyes, her body swaying left and right as the horse moved forward. When she heard Liu Shijiu's question, she replied calmly, "There is a pretty good blacksmith in Jiangnan. I asked him to make the scabbard for the Jingji Knife... It's pretty good."

Seeing Liu Qi's answer so casually, Liu Nineteen couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, Tianxiang, who had been following the two of them in silence, secretly took something out of the package, then rode her horse to Liu Shijiu and handed it to him.

"Sister Xiao Liu, this is the scabbard that Sister Da Liu mentioned."

What she was holding in her hand was the scabbard that Liu Qi had someone make in Jiangnan.

Liu Nineteen took the scabbard, and his frown instantly relaxed. Then he nodded slightly with a serious face and praised: "It is indeed a good scabbard."

Liu Qi opened his eyes, glanced at Liu Nineteen, and then closed his eyes again.

The reason why Liu Nineteen was satisfied with the scabbard was because the blacksmith who forged the scabbard was originally from the Seventh Heaven.

Although the seven magical skills of the Seventh Heaven each have their own strengths, they all come from the same source.

When Feng Yao was forging the scabbard, he inevitably used his own Lihuo Qi, so Liu Shijiu, who possessed Yimu Qi, could personally feel the benefits of the Lihuo Qi contained in the scabbard to her.

In fact, in Tianxiang's package there was not only the scabbard of the Jingji Sword, but also the handles and blade fragments of the Jingji Sword and the Canghai Juanyun Sword.

These are the materials Liu Qi plans to use to forge a new sword.

After returning the scabbard to Tianxiang, Liu Nineteen looked at Liu Qi with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "With your current level of cultivation, do you still need a real sword?"

Not to mention Liu Qi, even many top masters can see enemies everywhere.

So Liu Nineteen was very confused as to why Liu Qi, who was clearly already among the top three in the world, really needed a real sword.

Liu Qi still had his eyes closed, but he opened his mouth and said faintly: "This time... I must ensure that I am in perfect condition."

……

With Liu Shijiu, Liu Qi no longer has to deal with some minor troubles on the road himself.

In addition, Liu Shijiu was ruthless enough. After bloodily dealing with several groups of malicious thieves, no one dared to mess with Liu Qi and his group anymore.

Soon they arrived at the territory of Jiangbei.

There are heavy imperial troops stationed in Jiangbei now, so ordinary scoundrels naturally dare not cause trouble here.

Perhaps because of the chaos in several neighboring provinces that aroused vigilance, the official road leading to Jiangbei has been heavily guarded and numerous checkpoints have been set up.

Liu Qi and his group were naturally stopped as well.

However, Liu Nineteen took out a token from his bosom and showed it to the sergeant who was leading the soldiers blocking the road. The sergeant's face changed immediately when he saw the token, and then he quickly signaled his men to make way.

After successfully passing the checkpoint, Liu Shijiu proudly waved the token in his hand at Liu Qi: "See? It was given to me by the old man surnamed Fu. He said that with it, I can travel freely in Da Qi!"

Liu Qi glanced at Liu Shijiu and said nothing.

The three of them galloped all the way and soon arrived at the gate of the Jiangbei garrison camp.

Liu Nineteen showed the token again, and the soldier at the door also changed his expression. After saluting Liu Nineteen, he quickly sent someone to report to the camp.

After a while, a young general in a white helmet came out from the camp.

The young general in white helmet saw Liu Qi on horseback before he even reached the camp gate. His face darkened and his feet paused for a moment, but he quickly regained his previous expressionless face and came all the way to the camp gate.

He saw the token in Liu Nineteen's hand, then he clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "I am late, I hope you will forgive me."

"Fang Weixian."

The young general in white helmet heard someone calling his name softly, and immediately looked up, only to see Liu Qi staring at him.

His expression became even darker, and then he replied in a heavy and powerful voice: "Miss Liu."

Liu Qi didn't plan to waste time talking to the other party. She said bluntly: "Prepare a boat. I want to cross the river."

Fang Weixian immediately said in a deep voice: "The boat is ready, but Fairy Le from Taiyi Sect sent a letter early this morning, saying that if you run into Miss Liu, you must wait for her here for one night."

Yueqing Yao?
What are you waiting for her for?
Liu Qi asked calmly, "What else did she say in the letter?"

Fang Weixian replied truthfully: "Fairy Le also said that she has been waiting for more than a thousand years and is not in a hurry for this night."

Liu Qi thought for a moment, then blinked his eyes gently: "Prepare hot water for me, and a table of good food!"

Fang Weixian clasped his fists and said, "Everything is ready."

……

That night, the tent was hazy with moisture.

Liu Qi leaned on the edge of the bathtub, her wet black hair scattered randomly.

rustling...

There was a slight noise outside the tent.

Then the door curtain was lifted, and a group of dark figures walked in.

Liu Qi closed his eyes and breathed evenly, as if he didn't notice anyone breaking in.

Until the black figure walked to the edge of the bathtub, suddenly a hand stretched out from the cloak, gently waved a few times on the water surface full of floating flower petals, and ripples immediately spread out.

"You've come all the way from the capital day and night, you wouldn't have come just to watch me bathe, right?" Liu Qi's voice rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow tore off his black cloak, revealing a green Taoist robe and a handsome face.

Yue Qingyao looked away from the water and smiled: "I heard that Gu Liancheng already knows how to activate the power of the Nine Cauldrons."

"Yeah." Liu Qi nodded slightly with his eyes closed and responded weakly.

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Yue Qingyao's eyes, and she continued to ask with a smile, "It seems that after the battle in Fengdu Ghost Cave, Miss Liu has a deeper understanding of Gu Liancheng."

Liu Qi slowly opened his eyes, looked directly into Le Qingyao's eyes without hesitation, and then said in a deep voice: "Do you have the Nine Cauldrons of Taiyi Sect?"

Yue Qingyao smiled and shook her head: "It's in my brother's hands."

Liu Qi asked again: "Can he solve the situation in the capital?"

Yue Qingyao responded, "Saving one or two people is not a problem, but if we want to save the entire capital, Xiao Qifeng has to do it himself."

Yue Qingyao: "Miss Liu, do you have any friends trapped in the capital?"

Liu Qi closed his eyes and replied: "In the current situation, it may be safer to be trapped in the capital."

"Come on, why did you ask me to wait for you here?"

Yue Qingyao: "After learning that Miss Liu wanted to forge a sword, Qingyao specially invited her to help her!"

"You?" Liu Qi opened his eyes and looked at Yue Qingyao, questioning bluntly, "You can also forge swords?"

"Qingyao naturally doesn't know how to forge a sword." Yue Qingyao showed a sly smile, "But Taiyi Sect must have the sword-forging materials that Miss Liu wants."

……

Early the next morning.

Fang Weixian arranged a pleasure boat to take Liu Qi and his party across the river.

The once prosperous Jiangnan now had troops stationed inside and outside the city, ready for battle.

After arriving in Jiangnan, Fu Qingshu's warrant naturally had no effect, but Yue Qingyao's status in Jiangnan was no less than Fu Qingshu's.

Yue Qingyao took the lead and walked at the front. No one came forward to ask questions at the checkpoints and city gates they passed along the way. They all silently let go.

When they entered the city, there was already a group of people waiting inside the city gate.

Liu Qi was familiar with the leader, it was the Governor-General of Jiangnan, Sun Jiyun!
When Sun Jiyun came forward and saw Liu Qi behind Yue Qingyao, he did not show any surprise, but bowed and saluted generously.

"Master Feng is already waiting at Qianduanfang. Fairy Le and Miss Liu can just go there directly."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi couldn't help but glance at Sun Jiyun, and then his gaze naturally fell on Le Qingyao in front of him.

I just want to forge a sword.

It has nothing to do with her, Le Qingyao.

But why is Yueqing Yao making it so grand now!

Although Liu Qi was somewhat puzzled, he did not think too much about it.

After all, it was Le Qingyao who came to help with a flattering face, so how could Liu Qi hit someone who was smiling at him?

Besides, the Taiyi Sect has a long tradition, and maybe there are some good things there that I can use to forge swords.

Liu Qi and Yue Qingyao soon arrived at Qianduanfang.

Feng Yao had also been waiting at the gate of Qianduanfang. When he saw Liu Qi and his party arriving, he hurriedly went to greet them with a serious expression.

After a round of greetings, Feng Yao invited Liu Qi and Yue Qingyao to the backyard alone.

Liu Qi handed him the package.

When Feng Yao opened it, a look of horror immediately appeared on his face.

He looked at the bare handle of the Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword in his hand and asked in a daze: "Who can destroy the Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword?"

"Jiang Xuanyun."

Liu Qi replied truthfully.
