Chapter 848 Sword Refining (Part 2)
Qi slowly walked into the cave.
The walls of the cave are engraved with various deep and shallow characters.
Not far away, the flames of several oil lamps crackled, and a figure turned his back to him, waving a sledgehammer in his hand and hitting something.
Qi felt that this picture looked familiar.
He received the revelation from Heaven and knew he wanted to find this place, but...
This picture was not glimpsed in the voice of Heaven.
But...
Many, many years ago, that early morning when I woke up in Wuliang Tai Chi Palace, that day of the inner sect examination, that day that changed my life.
That morning, I had a dream. I dreamed that I became a person named Fu Qingzhou.
Fu Qingzhou has seen this scene before.
Qi shook his head and cleared these messy thoughts from his mind.
"I'm right, I must be right. Just a little more, a little more, and I will succeed...I will definitely succeed..."
Deep in the cave, The woman murmured in her sleep.
Qi continued to go deeper, and finally saw her appearance clearly by the light of the oil lamp.
She was dressed simply, with no gorgeous silks or complicated embroidery, only rough linen clothes. Her face was covered with gray marks, and it looked like she hadn't washed herself in a long, long time.
Her eyes were a little weird, revealing some indescribable obsession and madness.
A piece of dark iron was held in her hand. There was no anvil or fire. She just moved the power, and the iron piece was heated until it turned red in her hand. Then she placed the iron piece on The ground swung the sledgehammer again and knocked it down hard.
Time passed little by little, and the woman kept repeating this action, and the shape of the iron block seemed to have not changed at all as she hammered it repeatedly. She continued tirelessly and uneasily. Hammered.
This, of course, is Fang Ruyue's mother, the legendary crazy woman... Jiang Lingyun.
Suddenly, she seemed to sense someone approaching behind her, and turned her head sharply.
"Who are you!"
Her eyes were full of glare, she glared at Qi fiercely, and shouted angrily: "You want to steal my sword!"
Qi Smiled: "No, I'm here to help you."
"Help me?"
Jiang Lingyun sneered: "No one in this world believes in me! How can anyone be willing to help me! You are lying to me!"
"No, I believe you." Qi said softly and seriously: "I heard After reading your story, I think you are right."
"Oh?"
Jiang Lingyun was obviously not in a normal state of mind, but when he was told this, his eyes immediately brightened: "Then. How can you help me?”
“Didn’t you notice?” Kai smiled and said, “Your sword is missing some vitality.”
"Vitality?"
Jiang Lingyun was confused, but soon her eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes! There is no vitality! Those things are all dead things, all dead things! No matter how good they are, They are all dead!”
“So it’s useless for me to hammer for so long!”
She threw away the sledgehammer in her hand, took a step forward, and held Qi hard. Hand: "Then what should I do!?"
"Take me to make a sword."
Qi smiled and said: "My flesh and blood soul can help you merge with the avenue."
"Your flesh and blood soul?" Jiang Lingyun asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"I... "
Qi smiled and said: "I am a gift from Tiandao, and it was also your son Fang Ruyue who asked me to come."
" Ruyue? Have you seen him?" Jiang Lingyun's expression. He was overjoyed, and then tilted his head nervously: "But...why are you a gift from heaven? You, can you compare with it?"
She turned around and pointed to the side.
Qi followed her hand and looked...
On one side of the sword forging platform, there was a stone basin.
There is water in the stone basin, and there are fish in the water.
It looks very special, its body is half black and half white, its scales are extremely small, but its fins are huge, like bird wings. I studied under Wuliang Taichi Palace, so naturally I have seen this kind of fish... In Wuliang Taichi Palace I also raised a few Tai Chi fish. Their flesh is poisonous, but their roe can be used as medicine, and the holy elixir that can bring the dead back to life can be made.
However, this Tai Chi fish seems a little different.
It's...half virtual and half real.
When this fish was swimming in the water, two clouds of black and white smoke overflowed from its body. They smeared in the water like ink, but did not change the color of the water. It turned into complete black and white energy and condensed again.
"This is... the two qi of yin and yang."
Qi's expression condensed slightly: "The foundation of heaven and earth."
"Not bad." Jiang Lingyun reached into the water basin and fished it out, and immediately fished out two masses of black and white energy entangled together, and the Taichi fish in the water seemed to become slightly smaller because of this.
"You said..."
She threw the black and white Qi onto the red sword embryo, and the two Qi were instantly absorbed by the sword embryo. She also turned to Qi: " Why are you better than it?"
"I said, I am a gift from heaven."
Qi smiled and said, "You can take a look for yourself."
After saying that, he suddenly stretched out his hands and plunged them into his chest!
Blood splattered, but there was no sign of pain on his face. Instead, his arms began to use force, and his chest was suddenly pulled open!
However, in the opened chest and abdomen, there was no horrifying scene of internal organs flowing out and blood everywhere, but...
A red starry sky appeared.
In Qi's chest and abdomen, there seemed to be an endless sky, but it was just a red sky. The red background was exactly the same as the color of his hair, and there were countless vast stars flowing in it. Jiang Lingyun's eyes widened.
She slowly approached and tried to reach out her hand, and then her hand reached into the starry sky.
She was overjoyed, and moved her head over again, stretching into Qi's chest, followed by her upper body...
As a result, Jiang Lingyun's lower half of her body just didn't enter. Li Qi's chest and abdomen.
After a while, she pulled her body back, her eyes full of surprise and joy: "It's true! What you said is true!"
"Of course it's true."
Qi smiled and said: "How about a living gift, am I qualified to help you?"
"Enough! Enough! Absolutely enough!"
Jiang Lingyun was overjoyed: "You go, you go now!"
The Tai Chi fish in the basin swung its tail and looked at everything outside curiously.
It saw Jiang Lingyun holding the tongs to pick up the sword embryo and put it into the huge furnace nearby. Then with a smile on her face, she put it into the furnace without hesitation with a smile of extreme happiness.
Fires and heat waves hit the sky!
In just an instant, Qi’s red hair disappeared into the stove.
But the consciousness that remained in his soul did not completely disappear.
There is a ghost from a thousand years later... When Qi's physical body was completely destroyed, he inexplicably came to the Taichi fish in the basin.
In other words, Tai Chi Fish already has a part of him.
Is he Qi, the strange stone slab that Qi ate, or the Taichi fish?
Or, both.
The Taichi fish was swimming, its consciousness was hazy and confused, and Jiang Lingyun's wild laughter echoed in its ears.
But soon, the wild laughter suddenly subsided.
"Wait, what's going on?!"
She exclaimed.
The sword flew out of the furnace on its own and hung in the air. The red and blue colors on the sword began to flash on and off, and the entire cave began to shake violently!
No...not just a cave!
Although Taiji Fish is just a fish, for some reason, it can keenly feel that the whole world is trembling!
Something has shaken the foundation of this world!
“You! You lied to me!”
Jiang Lingyun was furious. She didn’t care that the sword embryo was hot, so she reached out and held it in her hand, threw it on the sword forging platform, and waved He picked up the hammer and struck hard.
This is not forging a sword. Judging from her movements, it seems that she wants to destroy the sword directly.
But before the hammer touched the sword, the red light on the sword suddenly shot out, knocking her away!
Jiang Lingyun was extremely frightened. After looking around, she stood up in excitement, picked up the water basin where the Tai Chi fish was, and without hesitation poured the water in the basin and the Tai Chi fish on the sword body!
The Taiji Fish instantly turned into strong black and white energy, spreading throughout the entire sword body.
The sword made a chirping sound, as if it was being quenched, and its temperature dropped instantly.
This time, when Jiang Lingyun swung the hammer again, it no longer resisted.
She was so angry that she beat the sword she made with a hammer frantically, roaring: "You lied to me! What you brought is not life at all! Not at all! You want to destroy me, You want to destroy me!”
"You are not a gift from Heaven at all! What is in you is not Heaven at all! You are a predator and a parasite! You want to destroy me and this world!"
The Taiji Fish disappeared, but that The consciousness is still there.
Only this time, he finally woke up gradually.
"I see..."
Fu Qingzhou murmured: "Qi, Shiban, that voice disguised as the way of heaven is me... They are things that depend on the way of heaven, but they want to Instead of the way of heaven, they are where Qi Ran comes from and where I come from.”
"The two qi of yin and yang, the root of heaven and earth, are also me... They are the origin of the way of heaven, the origin of the immeasurable true immortal power, the origin of my uncle's enlightenment of the Yiran Art, and the origin of me."
< br>“From the beginning, Yiran has been me, and Qi Ran has also been me.”
“Whether Qi Ran or Yiran, they are all reflected in my heart... ...Uncle Master is wrong, and Long Dabei is also wrong. They have never changed my view of the world, they are just a part of me."
"I don't need to integrate them, because they are what they are. Me!”
“No matter where I come from, no matter my past, it’s just me”
Fu Qingzhou opened his eyes.
The bow and arrows in his hands are no longer red and blue, but have condensed into pure cyan.
The secrets of the past have not yet been fully revealed.
But now, more importantly, now.
Boom!
The crisp sound of strings resounded throughout the world of consciousness.
The green arrow shot through the air and hit the invisible sword swing from Jiang Baichuan.
"Piercing" was like a drop of hot oil falling into the snow, easily melting the sword.
The next moment, Jiang Baichuan lowered his head.
A huge hole appeared in his chest.
The edges of the hollow began to dissipate like smoke, and his consciousness began to turn into smoke little by little.
"You..."
Jiang Baichuan raised his head and smiled: "Win."
