Taiping Inn

Lu Shixing had always thought that he would definitely die this time, but he never thought that after all the difficulties, there would be a new village. Hearing such words again, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart. Compared with Mrs. Gu's cold words, Mr. Si was very warm-hearted.

Lu Shixing was not good at speaking, and he didn't know how to express his gratitude and repay him. After Li Xuandu helped him up, his lips trembled, and everything was said without words.

Compared with her brother Lu Shixing, her sister Lu Shizhen was more familiar with the ways of the world. She invited Li Xuandu into the main hall, asked him to take a seat, and then hurriedly sent servants to serve him fragrant tea.

After Lu Shizhen made a few polite remarks, he got to the point: "People say that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. Mr. Fourth has done a great favor, and Xianjian Villa has no way to repay it. Please just speak up."

Li Xuandu smiled: "The reason why I took action is, first, we are from the same clan, and there is no reason for outsiders to bully us. Second, I have heard that Master Lu is on good terms with Second Senior Brother, so I have to take action for Second Senior Brother's sake. Third, I do have a small favor to ask Master Lu for help."

Lu Shizhen hurriedly said: "Please speak, Mr. Fourth, Xianjian Villa will do its best."

Li Xuandu took out the drawing he had drawn in the study and handed it to Lu Shizhen.

After Lu Shizhen took it, he slowly unfolded it, and his eyes lit up.

The paper shows a sword, with its pommel, hilt, hilt, blade, blade spine, and tip clearly marked, with its thickness, length, and weight.

Lu Shizhen couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect that Mr. Four also had such experience in sword forging."

Li Xuandu said modestly: "I dare not compare with Master Lu."

Lu Shizhen looked up at Li Xuandu and asked tentatively: "Mr. Four wants to forge a sword?"

Li Xuandu took out "Cold Beauty" from the "Eighteenth Floor" and said: "This sword is called 'Cold Beauty'. It was given by a friend of Tianle Sect. The quality is pretty good, but after experiencing many battles, it has been damaged. I wanted to repair it, but then I thought that this thing is a sword, which is not very compatible with my swordsmanship. Instead of repairing it, it is better to recast it into a sword."

Lu Shizhen understood it in his heart when he heard this, and said: "Mr. Four means to recast this sword into a sword."

Li Xuandu nodded and said: "Although I still have the sword 'Human World', I only This sword is broken, and there are many hidden dangers. It is not easy to use it all the time, so I want to forge another sword according to the standard of "Human World" so that it can be used more smoothly. "

Lu Shizhen said in embarrassment: "After all, "Human World" is the second-ranked sword in the sword evaluation, and it was forged by Xu Shisong himself. I am afraid..."

Li Xuandu smiled and waved his hand and said: "I don't want Master Lu to forge another "Human World". I don't ask for a similar spirit, as long as the shape is similar. In addition, I also brought the materials used. I hope to make the quality of this sword rise a few grades, preferably a treasure of the highest quality."

While speaking, Li Xuandu took out another thing from the "Eighteenth Floor", but it was a white skull, white all over, crystal clear like jade, and spotless. Not only did it not have the corruption of ordinary skulls, but it also revealed a sense of light.

Lu Shizhen looked at the skeleton and said in shock: "This is..."

Li Xuandu said: "This is the 'White Bone Mysterious Venerable', which was made by the old man Zang, the leader of Zaoge Sect, who stole the Buddha's bones from many monks. I got it by chance during the battle in Beimang Mountain, but it is not very useful in my hands. It is better to cast it into a sword, which can be regarded as making the best use of it."

Lu Shizhen said in disbelief: "Mr. Si, are you really willing to give it up?"

"Why not?" Li Xuandu smiled and said: "I remember a sword master said , one sword is enough for a swordsman of my generation. I am not at such a level. I am greedy. Two swords are enough. As for magic weapons and other things, I don’t need them. ”

Lu Shizhen took a deep breath and said: “Mr. Fourth, this is not a request for something. It is clearly a great fortune for me.”

Before Li Xuandu opened his mouth to ask, Lu Shizhen explained: “There is an unwritten rule in our Xianjian Villa that each generation of the clan leader can only forge one sword. The original intention of this rule is not to prevent us descendants from forging swords, but because the quality of forging a treasure is very important. The materials needed for a good sword are too hard to find. A generation can only collect materials for one sword at most. In order to avoid wasting time, this rule was established. I have already forged the "Sword in the Bamboo" for the Second Master in my life. I thought it was hopeless to forge a second sword. Now I have the two materials from the Fourth Master, which gives me the opportunity to forge a second sword. "

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I know a little about sword forging. It is very laborious, so Master Lu, don't talk about luck. Let's just take what we need. "

Lu Shizhen I wanted to be humble, but seeing Li Xuandu's firm attitude, I stopped insisting and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Fourth, I will not let you down. There is a sword furnace in the villa now, and it can be turned on at any time. However, this 'White Bone Mysterious Venerable' is a treasure. It may take some time to completely refine it with the furnace fire."

Li Xuandu asked, "How long will it take?"

Lu Shizhen made a rough estimate in his mind and replied, "It will take at least a month at the fastest."

Li Xuandu was stunned and said, "So short?"

Lu Shizhen smiled and said, "It takes a long time to forge a sword, mostly because it is necessary to deal with various impurities in the material, so it takes a long time to forge and hammer. This long sword named 'Cold Beauty' is a treasure, and the 'White Bone Mysterious Venerable' is also the same, and it is even better than 'Cold Beauty'. Since both are finished products, there is naturally no need for so much trouble."

Li Xuandu nodded and clasped his fists and said, "In terms of sword forging, Master Lu is a well-deserved master. As for how to forge a sword, I will not say much. Everything is up to Master Lu."

Lu Shizhen hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "It is my job, and I dare not be so rude to you, Mr. Four."

Li Xuandu said goodbye to the siblings, returned to the small courtyard, and came to the study.

This time he took out a special booklet from the bookshelf, with cardboard as the cover, like a slightly smaller book, but the text can be written from top to bottom and from left to right. The court officials used this thing to submit memorials, but it was not only for officials. Ordinary wealthy families also often used it as a congratulatory letter and gift list.

Li Xuandu spread out the booklet, and then ground it by himself and dipped the pen.

Because of the matter of Xianjian Villa, he had an idea. He wanted to write down everything he saw and heard along the way, and then hand the booklet over to show it to the old man.

Li Xuandu thought about it and wrote at the beginning: "Disciple Li Xuandu, in order to speak frankly about the accumulated malpractices in the sect, to correct the atmosphere of our Qingwei Sect, and to seek long-term peace and stability, I wrote this article. I hope Master will understand it."
