Otherworld Qin

Chapter 55 Chapter 61

There are still a few days left for the holiday, and the crisis of the Chilong Chamber of Commerce has finally been resolved. Everyone's hard work for the past month has not been in vain. Shengxuan originally planned to go back directly, but was stopped by the brothers in the tavern, "Why are you doing this?" Go back in a hurry, anyway, your alcoholic master is not a person who abides by the rules, and he knows what you are doing now, we have to play for a few more days since we rarely come to Qingqiu once." Suddenly someone catered, "That's right, that's right. I heard that Qingqiu is a place that produces beauties, so I can't let this opportunity go for nothing." "I'm more interested in the weapons made by Master Qingqiu. If I can get a pair of hands made by Master Batalu Sword, after that, it will be even more powerful in fights." "Yes, yes, I also plan to get my weapon back, but Qingqiu has to replace my broken sword anyway." "I think so, I heard that Master Qingqiu can also make staffs, look at our Lone Bamboo, only a few old fellows from the academy have official staffs, and the ones we use can only be regarded as rotten mahogany sticks."

In the end, everyone's opinions were finally unified, and they had to go to all the weapon workshops in Qingqiu to find weapons that suit them. This group of people just got the bounty, and they seemed to be sorry for themselves if they didn't spend it.

So in the next few days, groups of Lone Bamboo masters appeared everywhere looking for their favorite weapons, and Sheng Xuan was a little moved by what they said, and couldn't help but think that he should get a handy weapon back, but he With Longya and Guixiao, I couldn't think of anything else to do.

Because there was no purpose, Shengxuan wandered around the city casually, and walked into Elis's workshop unknowingly. He yelled a few words and saw no one answered, so he went straight in. He didn't see a single person until the backyard. The figure couldn't help but wonder, did Elis move away?But how could all these things be lost here?
He searched around in this small courtyard, and suddenly found an old anvil in a hut, and a row of hammers of different sizes, the largest one probably weighed a hundred catties, and the smallest one was only as thick as a finger, he couldn't help but Curiously, he picked them up one by one to have a look. Suddenly, a sword hanging on the wall caught his attention. The sword was red all over, and just looking at it made people feel excited. He couldn't help but gently took the sword off the wall. , but when I held it in my hand, I found that the sword was obviously not finished, but the outline of a sword was roughly drawn, and there were rough traces of beating on the edge, but the beautiful pine needle pattern formed by the beautiful folding on the sword is so beautiful Let him not bear to let go for a long time.

Suddenly there was a roar, "Put it down." Sheng Xuan hurriedly hung the long sword in his hand back on the wall carefully, and then looked back to see that it was Master Elis, those eyes seemed to be spraying with angry flames, seeing him After putting the sword back, he calmed down a little, "You shouldn't move that sword, just let him stay there quietly." Then he turned and walked out of the hut.

Sheng Xuan came out, and Ellis was standing in the courtyard, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Master, please don't be offended, I just walked around and found no one in the room when I came in, please forgive me if I offend you. "Iris sighed and said, "It's nothing, did you come here to repair that sword?" Sheng Xuan was taken aback for a moment but then shook his head, "I just want to come to see the master again, and if I have a chance, I want to find another sword , My one is already damaged, if I continue to use it, I'm afraid it will be more serious, the master taught me to cherish it, so I don't plan to use it again until it can't be repaired." It's true that the drunkard is angry of.

Ellis couldn't help but nodded when he said such words, "It's enough for you to have this kind of heart, but I haven't made weapons for many years, you should go to other places to look for them." He even issued an order to evict customers directly, but Shengxuan Don't rush to ask directly, "I don't know why the sword on the wall in the master's cabin has not been finished? Even if it is not finished, I can already feel the powerful aura on it."

Ellis moved his mouth and finally said, "That's the business my son once took over. He wanted to create the sharpest sword in the world, but unfortunately he didn't surrender the demonic nature in the sword and was swallowed up by himself."

"Then why didn't you destroy it? Hang it there instead, don't you hate it?" "Hate? I only hate my son for not listening to my advice. Why would you hate an unfinished sword?" Hearing this, Shengxuan couldn't help asking tentatively, "Actually, I like this sword very much. I wonder if the master will transfer it to me." Ellis looked at him, "What do you use an unfinished sword for?" "I want to find other masters to continue building. Although I don't understand why your son didn't listen to your dissuasion and still took the business, but I think he has a father like you, and he must have a desire to surpass you , it is in such a mood that you are willing to build this sword, if you can make it into a weapon, it will be regarded as fulfilling your son's wish."

Elis sighed, "Oh, maybe you're right, my existence really puts pressure on him, so he's been looking for opportunities to surpass me, but the skill of this craftsman is based on the accumulated experience over time, not getting a piece The best materials can be made with peerless materials, why didn’t he understand that at the time? As a result, he ignored my advice and went out to forge secretly. He forged without sleep for dozens of days. He was completely controlled by the magic in the sword. Mind, he couldn't stop, he vomited blood and fell to the ground in front of the furnace, and before he died, he entrusted me to help him complete it, otherwise he would die with regret, wouldn't he be willing to accept my advice even before he died?"

"Then why didn't you help him forge it so that your son's wish would be fulfilled?" Elis moved slightly when he heard this, but then shook his head, "I have already said that this sword is too fierce, and I am afraid that no one can subdue it. His demonic nature, is it really necessary to forge it to increase so many killings in this world?" Cheng Xuan chuckled, "To tell you the truth, my sword is called Ghost Howl. It used to be the blood clan's sword. How many bloods of innocent lives have been shed, but in my hands, I dare say that no one died unjustly by the sword. It is true that the ferocity is not in the weapon but in the heart. If it falls into the hands of a kind person, it will be the best way to slay demons and protect the common people. Sharp weapon." Sheng Xuan secretly admired himself, how could he be so eloquent?

These words finally made Elis fall into deep thought, and really moved him. In fact, he thought about fulfilling his son's dying wish more than once, but he never found enough reasons. It is obviously unrealistic to say that he doesn't hate, after all The sword had taken the life of his only son, but what of hate?Can you get your son's life back?He can only put all his hatred on that sword, how can such a mood be able to forge a sword?

This may be a knot in his heart. When he can't calm down, he can no longer forge good works. This is the reason why he really gave up and continued to forge the sword, but the deep complex for the sword in his heart made him Can't let go.

After a long silence, Ellis finally smiled, "Young man, you are right, the so-called magic lies in people, not in swords, and not in the craftsmen who cast them. If you like it, then take it."

"I've changed my mind now. I hope you can finish it yourself, Master, and use this to break the knot that has been hidden in your heart for many years." "Oh?" Ellis asked, but seeing Sheng Xuan's firm eyes, he began to waver , his fingers were also twitching slightly, as if he was recalling the beautiful rhythm of gold and iron, suddenly he took a deep breath, and then made a difficult decision "Okay, even if it is for my son's wish, I agree you."

Elis brought Shengxuan to his abandoned workshop outside the city. It used to be everything to him, but now it has changed beyond recognition. The furnace has collapsed, the fence has rotted, and it was full of precious materials and finished works. In addition, Elis's many years of collection have all been compensated to the person who made it. The unfinished sword can be integrated with a magic crystal of an ancient seventh-tier fire-type monster. Such a value will really make anyone bankrupt.

Looking at the dilapidated appearance of the once bustling workshop, Ellis' eyes were full of sadness, and he couldn't help but slowly walked into the furnace, carefully rubbing the collapsed furnace bricks, where he used to have everything, his enthusiasm His obsession and his beloved family were all gone because of that incident. Tears slowly rolled down the eyes of the old man. When he raised his head again, his eyes were full of love, a deep feeling for the past. Love.

Hearing that Elis was going to come out of the mountain again, the news immediately caused a sensation in all workshops. As Shengxuan accompanied him to purchase sword casting materials, all workshops also sent craftsmen to help. Soon the furnace was on fire again, and the anvil The relocation was complete, and some needed things were in the workshop as quickly as possible. Obviously, Elis was not only the leader of Qingqiu craftsmen, but more like the god in the hearts of these craftsmen.

With the arrival of the day of sword casting, almost all the workshops stopped their work, and almost all the craftsmen crowded into Elis's workshop. After he solemnly prayed to the creator god, he walked slowly to the iron In front of the anvil, the sword embryo was firmly inserted into the fire. The eyes of the craftsmen were full of excited tears, and the gods in their hearts returned.

Elis kept his eyes fixed on the furnace, constantly instructing the craftsmen to add fire and carbon to control the heat. When the sword embryo reached the appropriate temperature, he suddenly picked up a heavy hammer and threw it to Sheng Xuan, "Since this sword is for you, young man, You cast it, then you will be the first hammer." Shengxuan finally nodded solemnly with the sledgehammer, and when Elis pulled out the sword embryo from the fire and put it on the anvil, he swung the sledgehammer violently. smashed down.

For the next few days and nights, Ellis stood by the anvil and beat continuously, each time as if he wanted to beat the deep love in his heart, as if this was not forging a sharp sword, but a blow to his son. A kind of consolation.

With the sound of the sword stabbing, it fell into the coolant mixed with icy water and monster blood, and the casting process was completely over. As for whether this sword is the sharpest weapon in the world or a piece of ordinary iron, it depends on the master. The quenching skill was completed, and everyone's eyes followed Elis's hand, and finally a fiery red sword was taken out of the water, and then the master clenched the rough hilt and slashed it on the anvil with all his might.

With a clear hiss, the sword had already crossed the anvil, but there was no change in the anvil, and everyone's hearts tightened. Elis slowly picked up the sword and showed a satisfied smile on his face. At that time, the corner of the anvil fell to the ground with a snap, and the incision would not be so neat even if it was carved and milled. There was a coaxing sound, and the whole workshop was boiled with joyful passion.

In the next few days, the master continued to cold-forge the hilt with a small hammer, and then slowly carved the pattern. A sword finally took shape, and the scabbard made by Master Batalu himself with fir and ice monitor skin also It has been completed, the whole body of this sword is red, the hilt is like a torch, and the blade is like a jet of flame, and the tentacles are warm and dancing like a ball of fire, coupled with the black monitor lizard skin scabbard, it looks more majestic and dignified.

Shengxuan insisted on giving Elis a reward, but he refused to accept it, "Young man, I have to thank you, it was your words that made me untie my knot, and I became a swordsmith again. This sword is my thank you gift to you, I hope you can use it well.” Shengxuan was a little embarrassed to accept such a precious gift of thank you, after thinking about it, it was rare to have only a few gems on him, so he took it out The two pieces were handed over to the master, "This is my wish, I hope the master will not refuse to accept it." Looking at the two walnut-sized gemstones, everyone was shocked by the grade of the gemstones. Although such two gemstones It is not worth the value of that sword, but it is also a treasure that is hard to find.

Sheng Xuan thanked all the masters, and slowly walked back to the Chilong Branch with the newly forged sword. As soon as he entered, he was immediately surrounded by brothers like the tavern, "Where did you go?" Seeing that the pretty girl hooked you away?" "Aren't you planning to go back to Karin, kid?" He was surrounded by all kinds of questions, but he was not in the mood to answer at all, because he had got a sword but didn't have a trace of it. Excited, but a faint trace of uneasiness hit my heart.

"We'll go back to Karin tomorrow." Hearing this feeble answer, and looking at Sheng Xuan's expression, everyone was suddenly at a loss, and each went back to the inn to rest, and returned to Karin together the next day.

This time Shengxuan made an exception and didn't go to the Chilong Chamber of Commerce first, but went back to the college to find the alcoholic. Now he has a lot of questions to ask him to answer.

When he returned to the tavern, there was no sign of the drunkard. Seeing him, the fat boss hurriedly said, "Hey, when did you come back? Would you like a drink?" "No, where is my teacher?" "Isn't school starting now? You The teacher took the beautiful apprentice to practice." Sheng Xuan was shocked when he heard this, "Huh? Where did they go? When will they come back?" The fat boss deliberately pretended to be thinking, "When will he come back? He didn't say it? "Looking at Sheng Xuan's anxious look, he couldn't help laughing, "They are in the central hall of the college. The old drunkard said that you should go there to exercise now."

Shengxuan knew the location of the central auditorium, so he said thank you and ran out the door. In fact, they would pass by there every day from the small courtyard to the tavern, but the drunkard deliberately asked them to avoid it and not allow them to enter. In the huge auditorium, basic courses are taught there, but Shengxuan and Xiaotong have never been there.

In fact, the auditorium is only a general area. In the huge Carlin College, the central location is set as a public teaching area, surrounded by a ten-foot-high wall, and only the five-story building can be seen from the outside. At the top, students can usually listen to the teacher's lectures on magic fighting skills, human geography and other aspects of knowledge, but they mainly learn martial arts and magic from their teachers, but this kind of public place is to understand Lone Bamboo's human history. The best place to go, you can meet all kinds of students, through them you can better understand the history of the major families.

Shengxuan put on the Karin student gown and put on his badge, and ran straight to the gate of the central area. Today is obviously a different day, because as soon as he ran outside the auditorium, he saw that it was already crowded with people, and he found out that it was today It was the dean who personally lectured on the history of Lone Bamboo and the origin of fighting qi magic. No wonder so many people came to listen. Seeing that he couldn't squeeze in, he had no choice but to sit down on the steps.

The central hall sits on a floor of thousands of feet. Because there is a wind gust inside such a huge hall, the dean's words can still be clearly heard to every corner. Because the door of the hall is open, he can hear it clearly from the outside, but he doesn't Listen to that nonsense with a modicum of interest.

Finally, amidst the warm applause, the dean finished his professor, and the auditorium suddenly became lively, and the crowd poured out like a tide, almost trampling him under his feet. He hurriedly dodged and hid aside, carefully looking for the drunkard and Xiaotong traces.

Finally, the alcoholic fell into sight. He was dressed very formally today, wearing a brand-new teacher Karin robe, which made him look extra energetic, but who was the beautiful woman beside him?Suddenly seeing Doudou on top of her head, he couldn't help being startled, and really wanted to rush over to ask what happened, but people pushed him crookedly like a tide, and he couldn't get close, so he had to follow the people out of the central area.

The crowd outside the door finally dispersed, Sheng Xuan rushed over, "Teacher, I have something to ask you." Then he looked at the beauty who was covering her mouth and smiling, "This beauty is,,," the beauty said first, "Sheng Brother Xuan." The voice didn't change, Sheng Xuan had already confirmed that it was Xiaotong, but there was such an astonishing change in less than two months, he couldn't figure it out.

The drunkard said lazily, "Is this your question? Xiaotong has already answered you." Then he walked directly towards the small courtyard, Cheng Xuan cast a blank stare at his back, and then ran up quickly , "Xiaotong, why...you have changed so much that I dare not recognize you anymore." Xiaotong blushed and lowered her head and said slowly, "I don't know why, all of a sudden, this happened overnight Changes, even I can’t believe it when I look in the mirror.” Maybe it’s really the 11th change of the female university, but Xiaotong is only less than [-] years old, so why did she change so quickly?But that timid and shy personality remained unchanged, and Sheng Xuan got used to it very quickly.

The three of them returned to the small courtyard, and the alcoholic had already entered the room first, threw himself lazily on the chair, then picked up the wine bottle and took two sips, "How was your trip to Qingqiu, kid? Look at your face. Have you found any problems with the bitterness of the man?" Shengxuan then told the alcoholic about the matter in detail. He originally thought that the alcoholic would be surprised, but he still said casually, "Isn't it Chunyu's family? I have already thought of it." It seems that these old guys can't bear the loneliness anymore."
