[Gu Jian III] The Days I Worked in Xuanyuan Hill

Of course I have heard of the sacrifice of blood to the sword.Legend has it that the ancient swordsmiths liked to use human blood as quenching material when casting, and some extremely crazy ones even jumped into the swordforging furnace by themselves, such as the famous go-getter Mo Xie.

Although in my opinion, the chemical reaction between the human body and metal to form a magic weapon is purely cult.

As if seeing through my disapproval, Po Ye laughed: "It's not what you think. There are many schools of sword-making in Xiling, and sacrifice of blood to swords is also a sideways way of swords. Of course, I won't let you perform human sacrifice. Just, Adding a little blood of the master when forging the sword, together with the secret method of the witch tribe, can indeed increase the success rate. It can also make the sword and the master more connected with each other."

Oh, and it's no surprise when it comes to witchcraft that has absolutely no science in it.

I began to ask, with a glimmer of hope, "How?"

"It's similar to what you did before, except that when you smelt the copper juice, add a little of your blood." She made room for it, "I'm talking about this, I think you don't have a definite idea. So, let's do it yourself."

I started again the movement that I had repeated hundreds of times before.

Throw the waste into the furnace, burn the furnace, and take out the container containing the hot copper juice and pour it into the sword blank mold.At this point, I took out the dagger and looked at Po Ye hesitantly.

——she looked at me encouragingly.

OK, fight!

I slashed my own veins with the momentum of slitting my wrists and committing suicide.

Almost instantly, before I could feel the pain, the crimson blood had soaked the pale muscle that had just been cut, and flowed into the boiling copper juice like a faucet with a broken valve.

——Then I saw Po Ye's eyes turned to panic.

"No... just a little blood is enough, this is... too much!"

--what? ? ?

I pressed the blood-spitting wound with one hand, and looked at Po Ye with a shocked look of "are you stepping on me?" She had already taken a step forward and threw my arm aside, heartbroken Facing the cup of copper juice, he beat his chest and stamped his feet: "You don't need that much! You are just superfluous, and all the materials this time are wasted!"

...Do you dare to feel heartbroken because of the materials? !

I pressed the wound and stood next to Po Ye with a numb face that had been trampled on, and I was wronged like a baby weighing more than 100 catties.

"That's...it's all like this anyway," I endured the pain and said, "Why don't you try that witch clan's secret method? I think it can save you..."

She looked back at me with a caring look for the mentally retarded, then turned her head and continued to look at the pot of materials wasted by my blood distressedly. In the end, probably adhering to the idea that no more metal from the tribe should be wasted, she sighed , or took out a bunch of strange things.I glanced, there were bones, bird feathers, unknown liquids and powders.She laid them out in a circle, and began to chant strange incantations.

It was a language I had never heard before, as if it came from the prehistoric and prehuman.Accompanied by the sound of chanting, there seemed to be invisible ripples rippling in the air. I noticed that the metal liquid in the sword blank that should have been cooled long ago suddenly boiled again, and the blood I just poured in was floating on the golden above the liquid, and then with the fluctuations of the air, it seemed to be alive and drilled into the scorching hot copper liquid.

Gold and crimson are intertwined, and it looks...

...It's like Maoxuewang with a lot of squid and ham in a pot.

I suppressed the appetite aroused by the weird association, and continued to stare at the changes in the sword blank.

Gold and crimson gradually solidified, but not at the same pace.It seems to be controlled by an invisible hand, a layer of copper liquid and a strand of blood, at a glance, it looks like a bright red sunset glowing around a golden sunset, sinking layer by layer into the iron-blue mountain.I watched it darken before my eyes, and finally turned into a sword that looked a little special.

Po Ye didn't stop moving, she picked up the slightly cooled sword blank and put it on the anvil, only to hear a rapid and continuous crisp sound like rain hitting plantains, patches of red on the sword blank light up and then darken, until finally Finally dimmed all the light, lying quietly on the stone anvil.

It is one-third shorter than Tai Sui, and the dark blue sword has thin ocher-red lines faintly visible. I held it in my hand and waved it, and the air seemed to be hot as the sword passed.

Po Ye looked at me with complicated eyes: "I didn't expect it to be successful..."

"Yeah, it looks really good." I put away the sword happily, looked at Po Ye flatteringly, and rubbed my hands together, "Thank you, I really like it! Just... can I trouble you with one more small thing? "

"Please speak."

"Can you tell others... just say that this sword was built by myself, and you were just teaching by the side, and you didn't get started?"

Po Ye looked at me expressionlessly.

"...After all, it is a gift for others. It would be embarrassing to know that it was a substitute. And... I also told others that I would be able to make it by myself. Now that it has become a proxy, then..." My voice became more and more serious. The younger, in the end, he simply shut his mouth, and only looked at her with blingbling eyes full of hope.

"...Yes, but I hope that you will not come here to forge swords in the future." Po Ye said.

"Okay!" I happily agreed, and with a kind of determination that I would never buy anything after the shipment, I turned around and rushed out in small steps.But before I could take a few steps, Po Ye stopped me again.

"Master Changning, you..."

I looked back at her in bewilderment.

Her expression was complicated, like joy, but also sadness that was hard to express: "Are you..."

"what?"

"...No, it's nothing." She laughed again, "I hope Lord Jinyun can treat this sword well."

... I don't understand, but maybe this is the so-called craftsmanship.

I turned my head and continued to charge, and the small steps turned into big strides.

When I rushed to the door of Jinyun's house, I was told that he had left the tribe for several days.

"Huh?? Went to Demon Realm???" I was stunned on the spot holding the sword.

Thinking about it carefully, I have been obsessed with drawing cards these days, and it seems that I haven't seen Jinyun for many days.

As for him, he seems to have come to look for me, but...maybe he was prevaricated by me...

... May I ask how boys in the 21st century deal with when their girlfriends get cold-hearted because they are addicted to games?

"Master Jinyun went to Tianlu City to deliver the forged sword. He said, if you come to him, I will give you this."

The little soldier who passed on the message was also my acquaintance in the Taotie Department. He handed me the transparent crystal in his hand, and there was gossip that couldn't be concealed between his young brows and eyes.The young people with Xiong were straightforward, and he asked, "Lord Changning, did you leave the Taotie Department because you broke up with Lord Jinyun?"

...You are too straightforward, aren't you? !

"No." I gritted my teeth and said, "What is this?"

"Ah, Lord Jinyun said, this is the crystallization of the power to ward off evil. As long as it is broken, it can open the passage to the Demon Realm."

——It’s okay, it seems that I still have hope.

Feeling that I was more and more likely to chase my wife's crematorium, I ignored the eagerness of the little soldier waiting to eat melons, said "thank you" in a hurry, and rushed out of the tribe with the crystal.Finding a place where no one was around, I crushed the crystal with one hand.

When I saw the familiar tropical rainforest landscape in front of me, I realized that something seemed wrong.

Didn't you say that you came to Tianlu City to send the sword?Why did you send it to Bai Mengze?Will Kuita wait in Bai Mengze? !

I waded forward with vague unease, and when Jinyun's figure appeared in my field of vision, the faint unease in my heart finally turned into a tangible sourness, which quickly spread around me Come.

Jinyun was sitting at the place where I met him before, next to him was the little monster I saw last time that was suspected to have turned into a tree root, he bowed his head and said something to the little monster, with a calm and gentle expression.

I let bloodlet you make a sword for you, but you secretly lick the dog behind my back! ! !

——Think who doesn’t have a dog? !I warn you that when you turn around, I will go to Tianlu City to fight Cangyan, do you believe it? !
