How much effort does it take to forge a knife?
——Steelmaking, water reduction, tempering, plain extension, fire making, quenching.
Every step is extremely delicate, if there is a slight mistake, the blade will break and everything will come to naught.
Forging a knife requires not only knowledge and technology, but even luck.
Sanjo Zongjin is a swordsmith, and before today, he has successfully forged many swords.
However, most of these swords ended up being thrown into the warehouse by Sanjo Zongjin to collect dust——
Those swords that have been forged with painstaking efforts, admired by many people, and fanatically pursued, are just scrap iron that can be thrown away to Sanjo Zongjin.
— Not enough, not enough!
Sanjo Zong is looking for a sword, a peerless famous sword that can truly be called "Sanjo"!
Once this knife is born, it should be like a wind in mountains and rivers, and it will be heard forever!It should be a treasure that will go down in history and be handed down for thousands of years!
And such a knife should come today!
Santiao Zong looked closely at the blazing flames in the knife furnace, the crimson flames reflected his flushed face at the moment due to excitement.
The scorching high temperature brought countless sweats, and Sanjo Zongjin felt as if he had been fished out of the water, and what was even more unbearable was the burning pain brought by the high temperature, which was fierce as if he was about to Burn flesh and blood.
However, even so, Sanjo Sokami did not move away from the knife furnace.
--Time is up.
Sanjo Zongjin carefully took out the Odachi that had been formed in the knife furnace, and then put it in water to cool it rapidly-this is the last process of forging the knife, quenching.On the one hand, it can make the sword harder and sharper, on the other hand, it can make the blade produce beautiful patterns.
The technical requirements of this step are very high. It took more than three months of painstaking efforts, and success or failure is at this moment!
No one would believe that this gifted swordsmith, who was sought after by countless warriors and nobles at a young age, is now trembling with nervousness like a young boy who forged a sword for the first time.
"呲-"
A white mist evaporated from the water soaked in the Odachi, and the mist was so hazy for a while that it was hard to see clearly.
And in the next moment—
It was suddenly dark!
It was still noon just a moment before, and the scorching sun hung high and glaring.
But in the next moment, the vision of heaven and earth, the world suddenly fell into darkness, as if someone had cast a layer of darkness on the sky.
In the knife forging room which was still brightly lit just now, only the flame of the knife furnace still reflects the sky and the earth.
——This is just like the legendary Tengu Eclipse!
Sanjo Zongjin heard the sudden explosion of people's voices and footsteps outside the forging room, occasionally mixed with the sound of things overturned and colliding, and he could imagine the chaos outside the door based on this.
In panic and panic, the servants of the Sanjo mansion hurriedly lit the lamps, and then ran to the forging room in the dark with candles or lanterns in their hands.
The servants wanted to break into the knife forging room, but remembered that the master had warned them not to disturb them, so they could only suppress their uneasiness and knocked on the wooden door in panic: "Master Santiao! Are you all right, Master Santiao?"
No one answered at the door, and the servants all sank in their hearts——Master Santiao...
"boom--"
The servants who were worried about the safety of the owner broke open the door and rushed in, and then, they were all shocked by the scene inside the house and couldn't speak——
A knife was quietly suspended in the empty forging room.
The whole body of the knife was covered with a layer of golden brilliance, and under the reflection of the flames of the knife furnace, it was as bright as the sun.
Then the next moment, the light around Odachi suddenly brightened to the extreme, like the second sun rising from the ground!
In the golden light, everyone could see that a vague figure appeared next to the Odachi——
The man's face was blurred in the extreme radiance, only a pair of golden eyes suddenly looked over.
——Those are a pair of eyes that cannot be described in words. When you see those eyes, you seem to see the sun rising from the hopeful dawn, gradually reaching the scorching noon, and then stepping into the misty dusk.From shallow gold to brilliant gold and then to clear gold, the most distant future in the world is rising in front of you!
The figure in the light gently raised his hand, holding the hilt of the Odachi.Then, as naturally as waving his own arm, the man suddenly slashed towards the dark sky with a sword in his hand!
A crack appeared in the sky as if someone had torn it apart out of thin air. Immediately afterwards, a ray of sunlight leaked through the gap made by the sword, and then the gap became bigger and bigger, and finally thousands of lights poured out like a tide. It's like smashing the whole world into pieces.
——The darkness recedes, and the scorching sun returns.
The people who witnessed this scene did not speak for a while, staring at the phantom holding the knife in the air as if lost their souls.
In the end, Sanjo Zongjin, standing in front of the sword, finally recovered from the long shock. He looked up at the sword man, like an artist piously worshiping his own pinnacle work, his eyes were full of obsession and enthusiasm.
"When you were alive, even the sun had to avoid its edge... You are, the unique masterpiece of my Sanjo sect in this life-the big sword, the sword!"
—The name is the mantra.
The moment the swordsmith said these words, the phantom standing in the air suddenly solidified——
The man with long silver hair has a beautiful face that does not belong to the world, and his golden eyes seem to contain the shining sun.He is dressed in luxurious clothes, gray red blue gold, armor on the shoulders and waist, and two golden rings on the left ankle.
In his hand he held a big sword, the blade reflected the cold light, the blade was sharp and the sword aura was compelling.
The man with bright sun-like eyes blinked lightly, and his thick eyelashes looked like fluttering butterflies.
His gaze swept over the people in front of him, and those who were caught by those particularly moving eyes involuntarily straightened their bodies, like devout believers pilgrimage to the gods.
Finally, he fell from mid-air and walked up to Sanjo Zongjin.
Under Santiao Zongjin's nervous and expectant gaze, the man lowered his eyes leisurely, and his voice was as clear and sweet as a cold spring: "...Father."
Sanjo Zongjin flushed with excitement: "Okay! Good boy, I am your forger, Sanjo Zongjin."
As early as the first time he saw this man, out of the intuition of the creator, Sanjo Sokami knew that this was Fusangshin born from the sword.
It is rumored that if the item is left for a long time, if it absorbs enough spiritual power and emotion, it will be born to pay the spirit.
Now that the sword has just been forged, there is already Fusangshen... Could it be that 800 million gods heard his prayer and bestowed him with gifts?
……
"Oh? It's really lively at Lord Santiao's house today!"
Suddenly a voice sounded, and then an onmyoji with a bat fan came in slowly from the door, and said with a three-pointed smile.
"Are you... Lord Seimei Abe?"
Santiao Zong looked at the uninvited onmyoji, and was very surprised - this great onmyoji who saved the capital several times and reached the pinnacle of onmyoji, even he who has always devoted himself to forging knives has heard of it.
"Well... it's indeed going down."
The long and narrow eyes with red eye makeup narrowed slightly, and the handsome onmyoji unfolded the bat fan in his hand, hiding the fox-like smile on his lips.
Sanjo Zongjin: "I don't know why Master Seimei is here?"
Faced with such a question, Onmyoji slapped his lips and smiled without saying a word.It's not so much pretending to be mysterious, it's better to say it comes from some kind of bad taste.
Abe Seimei didn't care about other people at the moment, but looked behind everyone——
As early as when I came here, I felt this pure and dazzling spiritual power.So, let's see, what is this...
The silver-haired onmyoji raised his eyes gently and slowly, and caught off guard with a pair of eyes that were as bright as the sun.
——All the sounds in the world are gone at this moment, and the thousands of scenery are dim at this moment. In the eyes of the onmyoji, only Fu Sangshen's face that does not belong to the world remains.
"...This is really, the most beautiful in the world..."
After a while, the Onmyoji sighed as if dreaming.
"Master Qingming, Jinjian is the newly born Fusangshen, not some monster that needs to be eradicated!"
While Santiao Zongjin eagerly explained to the Onmyoji, he stood sideways in front of Fu Sangshen, acting like he was protecting the calf.
The onmyoji who came back to his senses raised his sleeves to cover his lips, his eyes became more delicate and lively because of the surprise just now: "Hey, you don't need to be so nervous, Sir Santiao, I can tell the difference clearly."
Sanjo Zongjin: "Then Seimei-sama wants to..."
"Well, it's actually because of divination that an old friend will visit here soon."
The Onmyouji, who seemed to be in a good mood, blinked slyly, and the smile on his lips suddenly became meaningful.
Master Seimei's old friend?
Santiaozong was stunned for a moment.
As a swordsmith who abides by his duty, the existence of onmyoji and monsters is really far away from him.And in his limited life, he never thought that he would have a relationship with this kind of existence one day.
However, the onmyoji's behavior did not seem to be fake, so Santiao Zongjin looked solemn, and was about to ask carefully.
However, at this moment, Abe Seimei suddenly closed the bat fan in his hand.He suddenly raised his head and looked out the window, narrowing his narrow eyes slightly——
"coming."
These words with unknown meanings are like the precursor of a storm.
Suddenly, pitch-black crow feathers floated down from the sky, and a trembling monster aura was approaching at an extremely terrifying speed.
The person who came didn't seem to restrain himself at all, the coercion unscrupulously released made the air agitated for nothing.
The originally gentle and silent wind around suddenly swirls and surges, bringing with it the sharpness that has faintly turned into a sharp blade.
And in places that ordinary people couldn't see, those little monsters who originally lived in every corner of this mansion ran away in panic because of the sudden aura.
They hid themselves in a deeper corner non-stop, and then, like a group of poor little ones, they huddled together and shivered.
Ordinary people are naturally not as clear as the monsters, but although they don't know the identity of the visitor, they also feel inexplicable uneasiness and panic.The keen instinct of human beings is constantly warning to flee.
Time suddenly became extremely long, and under this overwhelming power, every minute and every second became extremely tormented.
After a while, the surging wind finally subsided gradually.
At the same time, a young man appeared in front of everyone.
This young man appeared suddenly and abruptly, no one saw how he came here.
However, when people saw his handsome face that obviously did not belong to human beings, and the slowly closing wings behind him, all the unnaturalness seemed to have a completely reasonable explanation.
——He is a monster, and he must be an extremely powerful monster.
As if to confirm everyone's speculation, Abe Seimei looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in the room, his eyes were as expected.
Then, he opened his thin lips lightly, and said a name that was enough to shock Heianjing——
"Sure enough, it's here, Big Tengu."
The silver-haired young man with wings on his back glanced at the Onmyoji indifferently, and his voice was as cold as ice: "It's you again, Abe Seimei."
The big tengu's tone is cold, but somehow it can make everyone feel disgusted by it.
Abe Seimei was not affected at all.
He calmly unfolded the bat fan in his hand, and the voice half hidden under the fan was slightly low: "As a legendary monster, appearing in Kyoto in such a big way...you don't know what kind of impact this will have. have no idea."
The big dog snorted coldly when he heard the words, and his jaw raised slightly, showing a bit of cold arrogance: "So what, human affairs have nothing to do with me. Or..."
The wings on the back of the big tengu stretched slightly, and the wind brought up disturbed the calm at the moment, and there was a danger of depression surging in it: "Or—are you planning to hinder me?"
"Well...it's really hard to say."
Abe Seimei's eyes seemed to be sharp for a moment, and then he returned to the original elegance and calmness: "But first of all, I'm still curious-what is the purpose of your visit this time."
Onmyoji obviously didn't have the intention to beat around the bush.
And his blunt question, which was almost a question, was completely offensive to the arrogant big monster.
But the strange thing is that the big tengu just glanced at the Onmyoji lightly, as if he didn't intend to care too much about it, and even after that, without any concealment, he clearly set his sights on the newborn Fu Sangshen.
Ootengu's blue eyes, which seemed to be condensed with frost all the time, suddenly showed some subtle soft emotions when he saw the other party, and he said in an unprecedented gentle tone: "I'm here to take back my half body. "
This big monster, who had been frightening since its appearance, suddenly showed a docile look at this moment.
Specifically, probably because it was afraid of scaring the newborn child, the originally powerful beast restrained its claws and fangs, gently and cautiously, revealing its most harmless side.
Probably the shock caused by the contrast between the front and back was a bit big. All the people who witnessed this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes, and even forgot the fear of the big monster for a while.
