Ling Yun is the No. 1 sword casting in the martial arts today. The reason why he has such achievements is not because of his high talent, but because he grew up in the sword casting villa since he was a child.Forging Sword Villa is the painstaking effort of several generations of the Ling family, but all the Ling family's children have known the meaning of the word "casting sword" since they were ignorant. Become a master.A strong environment will have a special impact on people that cannot be explained by words. It seems that at this time, after Ling Yun's eyes swept over Xiao Fengling and Han Tiexin, they finally fixed on Haitang. To be precise, it was her On the sword box held in the hand.

As if it came from a certain instinct deep in his heart, Ling Yun felt that there was a soul-stirring evil hidden in that white sword box, cold and sharp, he struggled to stand up, as if he had been summoned, like the sword in Haitang's hand. He walked to the sword box, but when he took only two steps, his feet became weak. Fortunately, the maid beside him helped him so that he did not fall down.

"That's..." Ling Yun stretched out his hand towards the direction of the sword box, and murmured, "Could it be... show me!"

Haitang was startled by Ling Yun, subconsciously took a step back while holding the sword box tightly, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Fengling was also surprised by Ling Yun's abnormality, but thinking that everything in the world has a soul, he is a master swordsmith, and it is reasonable to have a feeling for the Taoyao Sword, so he said lightly: "Hai Tang, show it to Master Ling .”

"Yes." Haitang listened to Xiao Fengling's words, opened the white sword case in her hand, and said, "Here, do you want to see this?"

"Zhanfeng!" Ling Yun's dull eyes suddenly brightened due to injury, and even his voice trembled with excitement, "Zhanfeng! It really is Tao'er's Zhanfeng sword!"

"You are wrong." Haitang retorted, "This sword is called Taoyao, and it is the sword of our leader."

"No, its real name is Zhanfeng, and it was named by Tao'er!" Ling Yun's tone was more certain, almost unwavering, he walked into Haitang with the help of the maid, pointed to the peach blossom on the sword and said to her , "Look at this flower, these were all engraved later, there were no flowers here, and the word Zhanfeng was engraved here. Here, look here! There are still some traces left."

Xiao Fengling walked over, looked at Ling Yun's excited expression, and asked, "Master Ling seems to be very familiar with my sword."

"Is this sword yours?" Ling Yun stared at Xiao Fengling in surprise, his eyes were complicated.

"That's right, it's mine." Xiao Fengling nodded. This sword was passed down to him by his master, but he had never heard the master mention the origin of the sword. Seeing Ling Yun like this, he asked, "Is this sword from Ling Yun?" Made by the owner?"

Ling Yun let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, the expression on his face was both lingering and painful, before he opened his mouth slowly after a long time: "Let me ask you, where did Hierarch Xiao get this sword from?"

Haitang at the side interjected: "You haven't answered what our leader asked you, so why should you answer your question?"

Xiao Fengling gave her a wink to signal Haitang not to be rude, and then said: "This sword is an inheritance from my family."

Han Tiexin listened quietly at the side, he did not expose Xiao Fengling's lies, judging from Ling Yun's expression, he must know the origin of Taoyao Sword, this sheathless sword that shocked the martial arts at the sword test meeting, It would be a lie to say that Han Tiexin has no interest in its origin.If he wanted to get Ling Yun out, he would naturally talk about the relationship between himself and the sword as closely as possible.

Sure enough, when he heard the family heirloom, Ling Yun's body trembled suddenly, and muddy tears rolled in his sunken eye sockets.He sent away all the servants, even the maid who had been supporting him left.Ling Yun sat on a chair, looked at Xiao Fengling, then at Han Tiexin and Haitang beside him, hesitant to speak.

"Master Ling has something to say, but it's okay to say it." Xiao Fengling said, "There are no outsiders here."

Haitang has been by Xiao Fengling's side since she was a child, so it can be said that he watched her grow up, and Xiao Fengling never doubted his loyalty.As for Han Tiexin, Xiao Fengling just lied, but he didn't expose it, and he let him hear a secret, which is considered to be indebted to both sides.

Ling Yun held his head in his hands and panted for a long time. I don't know if it was because of his internal injuries or because he recalled some things that he didn't want to think about but couldn't think about. After a long time, he sighed and said to Xiao Fengling: "I didn't expect there were orphans in Baiyue City .”

"Where is Baiyue City?" Haitang asked bluntly.

Han Tiexin, who had been silent all this time, frowned thoughtfully. He had seen it in the file pavilion of Yufeng Tower. Bai Zhuxing, the lord of Baiyue City, was also a famous figure in the martial arts. There are countless heroes who come to challenge.It was just on a Mid-Autumn Festival night more than ten years ago, Bai Zhuxing became inexplicably mad, killing anyone he saw, and blood flowed into rivers that night, as if overnight, Baiyue City became a dead city with no more people.It is recorded in the data that Bai Zhuxing started killing because of his obsession with practicing martial arts, but it is still unknown what the real situation is.

"Girl, you are still young, and you don't know many things." Ling Yun glanced at Haitang, and said quietly, "Let me ask you, in today's martial arts, if you talk about swordsmanship, who is the strongest?"

"Of course it's our leader!" After Haitang said this, she felt that what she said was too full. The so-called sky beyond the sky, there are people in the world, and I have never seen anything in the world. It always sounds like bragging when I say this, so I added, "What I mean is that my master's swordsmanship is very good, and I don't know much about the others."

Ling Yun said: "There are many talented people in martial arts today, and there are many young talents, but I don't know if you have heard of Liang Xiao?"

Han Tiexin's heart tightened: Sword Saint Liang Xiao!More than ten years ago, he was No. 1 in the Central Plains martial arts, but then it seems that he no longer cares about Jianghu affairs, and has disappeared without a name.

Xiao Fengling asked: "Master Ling is talking about the Sword Master?"

"Really." Ling Yun said, "When Liang Xiao and Bai Zhuxing competed swords, Bai Zhuxing used this chopping wind."

"The lord of Baiyue City can compete with the sword master, so his swordsmanship must be very powerful." Haitang said, "But how do you know that this sword is called Zhanfeng? went up?"

Xiao Fengling said: "Is Taoyao the masterpiece of Master Ling?"

"No, it was forged by my little sister Ling Tao." Ling Yun looked into the distance, as if recalling a long-standing past event, "The Ling family has forged swords for generations, but only men can enter the rivers and lakes, and my little sister is born to be more powerful than others. My elder brother has a talent for making swords, but the family rules are different, so she doesn't have a name in the Jianghu. But she is cheerful by nature, and she doesn't alienate me because of this, but often helps me in secret."

Speaking of this, Ling Yun smiled wryly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I went out and about, the little famous Broken Jade Sword was forged by my younger sister. My younger sister is usually obsessed with sword casting in the villa and doesn't go out often. I don't have any friends, but I have a very good relationship with one person, that is the wife of the lord of Baiyue City. That year, Bai Zhuxing and Liang Xiao met on the top of the Golden Buddha to compete with swords, and Mrs. Bai came to ask the younger sister for a weapon. It was forged by my younger sister for Bai Zhuxing."

"Then why did it become Taoyao again?" Haitang asked.

"Bai Zhuxing is a martial idiot, but Mrs. Bai is not. She doesn't want to see her husband fight with others every day. Mrs. Bai loves flowers. People who know her well know this. She thinks the Zhanfeng Sword is murderous. It is too heavy, so I ordered people to engrave flowers on the body of the sword, so that Bai Zhuxing could think of her and what she said when he practiced the sword. And because the little sister has a peach in her boudoir name, Mrs. Bai deliberately Asking the craftsman to engrave peach blossoms can also be regarded as thanks to the little sister for giving the sword."
