sin of nature

"Shi Yao, when will the scabbard be ready?" Xiao Ming, who had been squatting in Shi Yao's sword casting room for a long time, leaned against one end of the long table beside him, resting his chin on his hands, looking at the other end of the long table, spread out. A bunch of trivial tools are being carved for a golden scabbard with patterns of Shiyao Mountain God.

Shi Yao, who was meticulously busy with the things in her hands, paused for a moment, then frowned, and replied with a headache, "You have asked me several times for most of the day, and you have said it all, and you still need to ask me what to do." Take some time!"

Xiao Ming pouted, very dissatisfied with the answer, "An hour is a time, half a month is also a time, how do I know how long you are talking about?"

"Then how can I say it! After the pattern is carved, if there is any need to modify it, how can I estimate the time!"

"Isn't it not too long to follow the carving on this picture!" Xiao Ming picked up the straw paper in front of him and complained, "But Shi Yao, you haven't looked at this picture for a long time, what if there is a mistake in the carving, how can you fix it? "

"Oh, you are really my little ancestor—" Shi Yao complained, "I have already memorized that picture of yours by heart—you are more verbose than Qingyuan Shenjun. I forged a sword for her a few days ago Time is not so troublesome."

"Then how can it be the same?" Xiao Ming took it for granted, "This is a sword for Lord Chongwu."

"Ah, I know, I know, do what you should do, it's so annoying that I can't concentrate."

"Okay, okay! I'll keep quiet, don't delay the matter at hand."

Shi Yao let out a long sigh, and started working again.

A scorching gaze was projected from the other end of the long table.During this period of sword casting and scabbard forging, Xiao Ming, the youngest of the first gods, would come to his house to watch him do things every day, and he got used to it after a long time.

The grumpy water god in the mouths of the gods is indeed a bit capricious, but he is not as difficult to get along with as others say.It's hard for him to come here to guard him every day, and it's also a painstaking effort for Lord Chongwu.

After being quiet for a while, Xiao Ming spoke again.

This time the tone was very light, as if she still remembered what Shi Yao said just now, 'too annoying to concentrate'.

Xiao Ming said softly, "Shi Yao, it's not that I intend to urge you."

Shi Yao made a disdainful nasal sound in her nasal cavity.

"It's just that this Xuanyang sword has already been cast. Last time, Lord Chongwu and I came to see it together - it can be seen that the Lord is very satisfied with this sword. I thought that if I could make the scabbard as soon as possible, Just give it to him completely."

Shi Yao nodded, the expression on his face softened a little, and he said in a deep voice, "That's a good idea—" The carving knife in his hand turned a rounded arc, and a rounded ring appeared on the edge of the scabbard curve.

Just about to move the knife to draw another line, Shi Yao suddenly stopped, thinking of something, sighed faintly, and said with some regret, "It's a pity——"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Ming thought that there was something wrong with his hand, so he quickly sat a little closer and carefully looked at the things in the other party's hand.

"The Xuanyang sword has the essence of pure yang, and it is very suitable for Lord Chongwu. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"The pure sun stone for forging the Xuanyang sword can absorb sunlight by itself, and it is filled with energy by itself. Do you know this?"

Xiao Ming nodded obediently, "I know".

"I don't know how many years this pure yang thing has been buried. It has already stored a lot of energy, so that when you use it, you may be burned by the pure yang energy in this sword."

Xiao Ming frowned, as if he couldn't believe it, "Can even Master Chongwu do it?"

"Yeah——" Shi Yao nodded, "You probably didn't notice that day, Master Chongwu was holding that sword, and after a short while, there was a shallow burn mark on the palm of his hand. I think there is something, but after a long time, it may cause harm to the user—”

"Then what should I do?" Xiao Ming felt a little anxious in his heart.

"If you don't use this Xuanyang sword, it won't be inconvenient. The God Realm is very peaceful-it's a pity that this one-of-a-kind sword-making thing can't make a perfect Xuanyang sword. Sigh."

"..." Xiao Ming's heart was full of anticipation that disappeared in an instant.

"Really, is there no remedy?"

Shi Yao shook her head and said no.

For several days in a row, Xiao Ming did not squat in Shi Yao's mansion.

Without him, it would be a lot cleaner, but Shi Yao suddenly felt a little deserted.

Another day later, that familiar figure appeared in Shi Yao's mansion early in the morning.

"I heard that there is a piece of jade in Pingcang that can reconcile yin and yang. It is said that no matter what kind of power it is, as long as it has this thing, it can calm it down."

"You're talking about the piece of Jiheng jade from the God of Pingcang Mountain."

"Yes, you also know about this piece? Can this jade harmonize the scorching energy in Xuanyang Sword?"

Shi Yao looked Xiao Ming up and down carefully, and said, "This Jihengyu can indeed calm down the turbulent pure Yang energy. But Pingcang Mountain God has always regarded it as a treasure, and refused to show it easily. Even if you know it, so what ?”

Xiao Ming was overjoyed, as if he had learned the secret, he said goodbye to Shi Yao happily, and left in a hurry, leaving Shi Yao shouting behind him, but he also turned a deaf ear to it.

Soon, Xiao Ming found Ping Cang, and explained his intentions. He wanted to take that piece of Jiheng Jade and inlay it on the scabbard of the Xuanyang Sword, so as to suppress the turbulent scorching energy inside the sword.

Ping Cang is naturally unwilling, that thing is a treasure that he obtained through untold hardships, how can he easily grant it to others?

But Xiao Ming made up his mind that he had to get this piece of Jiheng jade. After several days of hard work, Ping Cang finally proposed his own exchange conditions.

There is a thousand-year-old giant snake in the land, which is extremely ferocious. If you can take its snake bone for him, you can exchange it with Jiheng jade.

Xiao Ming only cared about the Jihengyu, he went down to the ground immediately, and found the giant snake at the place Ping Cang designated for him.

He and the giant snake fought non-stop for seven days and seven nights, and both were injured. Finally, by his own will, he cut out the snake's bone and returned to the God Realm covered in blood.

Fortunately, the God of Pingcang Mountain kept his word. Seeing that he had retrieved the snake bone, he gave Jihengyu to him without saying a word.

Shi Yao was in the mansion at that time, making the last adjustments to the scabbard when a figure in a state of embarrassment and wounds all over came up to him, scaring him.

He held the piece of water-colored Jiheng jade in his arms, took it out tremblingly, put it on the table, and just said "Thank you for putting this thing on the scabbard", before he fell to the ground.

Later, a drop-shaped transparent jade stone was added to the scabbard of the Xuanyang Sword, but before the Xuanyang Sword was completely delivered to Chongwu, all the evil beasts from the Earth Realm had already attacked the God Realm.

For some reason, this memory was sealed up in Xiao Ming's mind until he found the scabbard without Ji Hengyu in the Zhengyuan Cauldron.

All kinds of things from many years ago suddenly surfaced in my mind.

Xiao Ming intermittently explained the whole story of this matter to everyone, and came to a conclusion, "Master Chongwu must have sealed this memory of mine at that time..."

"So..." Huan Li vaguely guessed something, but he was a little afraid to confirm it, "You mean..."

"Well," Xiao Ming nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Yao Guang is Chongwu."

Although he had vaguely guessed it, Huang Li still took a breath and couldn't help asking, "How did he become the current Yao Guang?"

"I don't know..." Xiao Ming wiped the water on his face, and his expression was very dazed, "Since more than 1000 years ago, he finally sealed Qing Liao with the Pangu Divine Axe, most of the sayings It was he who was backlashed by the power of the divine axe."

"At that time, the Kaiyang Divine Army was worried that the evil beasts in the land would make a comeback, so they added 99 layers of seals to the land, and it was peaceful for the next few hundred years. I have been looking for him in the human world and the god world for hundreds of years, but what? Didn't find it either."

"So it was sealed in the land at that time—"

"But since he came out of the realm...why didn't he come to me?"

Xiao Ming muttered, the water on his hair fell drop by drop, and he didn't feel it.

"So, why did he lock me here—" Xiao Ming was stunned suddenly, and the memory of Yao Guang was vivid in his mind.

"In the past and the present, I have no one else in my heart."

"I can wait"

"A long time ago, I was going to give a sword to an old friend"

"But I don't know if he will accept me... There was some misunderstanding between us."

"He is very straightforward and honest, without any twists and turns."

Xiao Ming took a deep breath, feeling sour in his heart, the faces of Chong Wu and Yao Guang overlapped in his mind, they were clearly so similar faces. The relationship that ended without a cause more than 1000 years ago was suddenly traceable, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart.

"Huan Li," Xiao Ming asked, "How long has it been since they went to God Realm?"

"About two days."

"En." Xiao Ming nodded, his gaze became very firm, "I'm going to the God Realm."

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of footsteps in everyone's ears.

A slender figure looked familiar from far to near.

"Shenjun Qingyuan?!" Xiao Ming looked at the woman and yelled in surprise.

At this moment, shouldn't she be confronting Yao Guang in the God Realm?Why are you here.

"Wait," Xiao Ming suddenly noticed that her attire was exactly the same as what they saw in the thousand-year ice wall not long ago, and the temperament and behavior of the visitor seemed to have no similarities with that divine monarch.

"Sister Qingyuan?"

The figure walked over slowly. It seemed that he was only in his 20s, and he was exactly the same as the Qingyuan Shenjun they met before, but his demeanor seemed more calm.

There was a very shallow smile on her face, exactly the same as the sister Qingyuan in Xiao Ming's memory.

"Xiao Ming, long time no see."
