Lian Que paid close attention to the fire in the sword furnace.
He methodically put in all sorts of precious materials.
If a discerning person saw this, they would understand the price Lian Que had paid.
Among them, there was no lack of priceless materials like Flowing Gold Stone and Drinking Light Mud. In terms of value, they were completely worthy of Jiang Wang's life jade.
The people of the Lian family were born with life jade, so they especially cherished their freedom.
Lian Que said that even if he died, he would not hand over his life jade. This was not a lie. If not for the fact that there was no other way in the Tian Fu Mystic Domain, he would not have used it as proof.
Because only the life jade could show that he did not owe anyone anything.
Therefore, the moment he found out that the life jade was on Jiang Wang, he roughly understood the choice he had made in the Tian Fu Mystic Domain.
Jiang Wang did not let him choose wrongly, and he would not let Jiang Wang choose wrongly.
The Lian family's direct bloodline only had three chances to forge an ancient furnace in their lifetime. Normally, they would only use it to break through the blacksmith bottleneck. And he was willing to use this precious opportunity to forge a sword for Jiang Wang.
Lian Que's strength was not bad. If not for those people's schemes in the Tian Fu Mystic Domain, he might not have been eliminated.
And he was especially talented in the path of blacksmithing. Otherwise, he would not have become one of the only 10 disciples of the Lian family to hold his own life jade.
The materials gradually melted in the sword furnace, and he put in different seals. Every step was as precise as a mohist mechanism.
And from the beginning to the end, Jiang Wang just sat by the side and poured in his Dao Energy.
In the blink of an eye, three days and three nights passed.
…
Lian Que was really surprised by the density of Jiang Wang's Dao Energy!
Three days and three nights had passed, but Jiang Wang did not have any intention of exhausting his Dao Energy.
What he did not know was. Now, Jiang Wang had nine Star River Vortexes and the Star Twining Spirit Snake. Even if he did not break through his meridians, he could automatically produce 84 Dao Energy stones every day, which was more than 99%.
If Jiang Wang was a Dao Energy stone mine, he could produce 100 Dao Energy stones almost every day. Needless to say, he had been cultivating diligently and had never stopped his morning and evening classes.
If it weren't for the fact that the practice of Taoist magic arts and the cleansing of the Heaven and Earth Gate also consumed a lot of Taoist energy, the Tongtian Palace would have been "full of resources" long ago.
Lian Que still woke up Jiang Wang from his meditation. "The smelting stage is over. You can relax and rest now. I'll call you when I need you. "
Jiang Wang immediately stopped.
Actually, three days and three nights of Dao Energy infusion did not make him tired. Because he had been in a meditative state, his mental state was extremely good.
Since Lian Que was focused on forging the sword, he would not be so bored.
He stopped three days of Breaking Through Meridians cultivation to make up for his' homework '. After that was the Four Spirits Body Refinement Art. Over time, the Azure Dragon Chapter and Vermillion Bird Chapter had already reached perfection.
As for the Xuanwu chapter, it was originally slow to progress. However, after You Guo saw the giant tortoise, its majestic aura and the powerful charm of the Baxia bloodline gave Jiang Wang a lot of inspiration, allowing him to progress in the Xuanwu chapter almost overnight.
He was now focusing on the White Tiger Chapter. He was only one step away from the Four Spirits Body Refinement Art.
After completing the cultivation of the Four Spirits Body Refinement Art, he began to practice the three Dao techniques that Chung Geng Sheng had found.
Not to mention that Tie Hu had already engraved the Heavenly Palace, he still needed to familiarize himself with the sea of flowers and the Bramble Crown before he could command them.
Just like that, three days passed.
Lian Que was infatuated with refining and adjusting the mineral fluid. Only now did he relax a little. He glanced at Jiang Wang and could not help but ask in surprise, "Have you always been so hardworking in your cultivation? Don't you need to rest and relax? "
"I'm used to it."
Lian Que nodded. "It's not without reason that you were able to become the winner of the Heavenly Palace Mystery Territory."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Your sword is about to take shape. Do you have any ideas?"
Jiang Wang looked at him and said seriously, "You've worked hard."
These were not empty words. He had been cultivating diligently, but he could see how hard Lian Que worked. It was not an exaggeration to say that at this time, in his eyes, Lian Que's ugly face that was especially clear in the light of the furnace fire seemed much cuter.
Lian Que looked at the situation in the sword furnace and said, "I'm asking about your thoughts on the sword. Not towards me. "
Jiang Wang smiled. "You are from a family of forging, a genius in forging. I don't have any ideas. I believe you. "
Lian Que shrugged and did not speak again.
After about half an incense stick's time.
His hands moved and he sent in a series of seals. Finally, his right hand pulled outwards. A stream of scalding metal liquid leapt out of the sword furnace.
Just as it was exposed to the air, it gave off a crackling sound!
It was as though the foundation of everything in the world was the condensation of this liquid.
The metal liquid solidified into a crimson red metal bar, and then quickly turned black. Finally, Lian Que placed it on an anvil at the side.
"Come, you can forge it yourself." Lian Que handed over a hammer the size of a human head.
The moment Jiang Wang took it, his hand sank. He had to mobilize his Dao Energy to stabilize it. He could not help but be shocked.
One had to know that with his current physique, his hand had the strength of at least five hundred kilograms, but it was still strenuous for him to lift this hammer.
"I'll go make the final preparations. You're in charge of forging the sword billets. Forge the front side five thousand times, then the back side five thousand times. And so on. Don't stop until I say stop. "
After Lian Que warned him, he turned and walked into the sword formation.
Behind him, the sound of forging iron could already be heard.
… …
After an unknown period of time.
Jiang Wang really did not remember the time.
He was too tired.
He could not even feel his arms. They were completely numb.
Although he had mastered many methods to circulate energy, in the end, he could only rely on his body.
He persevered completely with his astonishing willpower, relying on the Dao Energy that was continuously produced by the Starry River Vortex.
Lian Que did not appear. He even suspected that this guy had gone home to sleep.
But he should not have slept for so long.
At first, he could still think about these trivial things. Later, he could only empty himself.
Since Lian Que said not to stop, then he could not stop.
After all, this was his sword.
There was nothing in front of him, and no one behind him.
He was the only person he could rely on.
Persistence was the only thing he could rely on.
After countless rounds of forging, he vaguely formed a connection with the sword billets. It was a very weak feeling, but because it was sharp, it was not easy to ignore.
Later, Jiang Wang unconsciously started to circulate the White Tiger Body Tempering Scripture.
The Four Spirits Body Tempering Scripture was derived from the White Tiger Body Tempering Scripture, and the White Tiger Body Tempering Scripture was the most important part.
Now that he had reached the last chapter of the Four Spirits Body Tempering Scripture, the sword was secretly compatible with West Gold.
As he forged, Jiang Wang's arm gradually regained feeling.
At first, it was soreness, then it was intense pain. He gritted his teeth and endured it.
Finally, he felt the blood flowing in his arm, strong and warm.
The White Tiger Body Tempering Scripture progressed rapidly.
Just as he was getting used to it and was gradually getting better, he heard Lian Que's voice.
"It's done."
Lian Que's voice was very tired.
Jiang Wang subconsciously stopped.
The excitement brought about by cultivating the Four Spirits Body Tempering Scripture disappeared, and he suddenly felt weak all over.
Lian Que did not care about him. His hands were red, and he directly grabbed the sword billets that had been repeatedly forged until they were scorching hot, and threw them back into the furnace.
"For the past three days and three nights, I have fasted and refined my mind, and used the secret method of the Lian family. I have made full preparations."
It turned out that another three days and three nights had passed. Jiang Wang thought in a daze.
"I asked you to meditate and empty your mind because I wanted your purest Dao essence. I wanted your sword to sense you through your Dao essence when it was born. Then I asked you to forge the sword billets to carry out your essence, Qi, and Spirit, and the Samadhi. "
Lian Que's hand gestures were very fast, and his expression was crazy.
"So I don't have to ask you anymore. This is the sword you want the most! "
"Now, you can give it a name."
Jiang Wang reluctantly looked up.
His eyes suddenly lit up!
His eyes seemed to be stung by something, and a drop of tear flowed down.
In front of Jiang Wang's eyes, the sword billets, whose specific shape could not be seen, rose in the furnace fire.
But the sharpness, the aura, had already attracted him.
At this moment, thousands of images flashed through his mind.
It was like the moonlight that could not be avoided. When you saw it, you were already enveloped by it.
When he was instilling Dao essence and forging the sword billets, he had completely emptied his mind.
In a sense, the sword billets before him were a reflection of the depths of his heart.
But what was buried in the depths of Jiang Wang's heart?
It was the bright moon that could never be touched, the dream that was gradually drifting away, and the hometown that he could never return to.
With an indescribable feeling, Jiang Wang said emotionally, "Let's call it 'Yearning for Growth'."
"Yearning for Growth."
Lian Que murmured this name, staring blankly at the sword billets.
There was no true weaponsmith who did not have feelings for the weapons he forged, but he did feel something from this incomplete sword that touched his heart.
…
On the original site of the Lian family's homeland, the present State of Great Xia stood.
But the State of Great Xia was not the country that destroyed the Lian family's homeland. The country before the State of Great Xia had already been destroyed by the State of Great Xia. Hatred could not be found either.
When the homeland was destroyed, the Lian family fled and moved to Qi.
For many years after that, the Lian family was a foreigner, and so was the Lian family.
At first, the Lian family was not recognized by the local people of Qi and was ostracized. They could not gain the trust of the imperial court of Qi. No matter how outstanding their descendants were, they could not be entrusted with important tasks.
Because they missed their homeland, which was in the south. The Lian family named the city they built Nanyao.
After so many years of development, the old country had long disappeared in the dust of history. The Lian family gradually earned a place in Qi with their rising reputation among weaponsmiths.
But the discrimination never disappeared, and the estrangement always existed.
Outside the Full Moon Lake, Chung Geng Sheng told Jiang Wang not to be afraid of the Lian family. Although it was to support his friend, it also reflected this phenomenon to some extent.
In the hearts of many Lian family members, they also had a homeland that they could never return to. They would always be foreigners.
…
Lian Que slowly stopped.
He put a ball of light wrapped around the sword into Jiang Wang's hand.
It was like handing over a beam of moonlight.
The light dissipated.
But see,
The sword stem was slightly flat, and the sword guard was like a full moon.
The lines of the sword hoop were entangled like yearning.
The sword spine was straight, and the sword guard was sharp and thin.
The sword was shining with cold light. The sword edge was hidden.
In terms of color, the sword hilt was as black as ink, and the sword body was as white as snow. There was no blemish.
On the sword ridge, near the sword guard, there were three words of Qi inscribed.
It said: Swallow Returns to Nest.
The sword was named "Longing for Chang Xiang", and the sword inscription was "Swallow Returns to Nest."
…
…
Longing for Chang Xiang
— — Representing Jiang Wang in Nanyao
Longing for Chang Xiang, Swallow Returns to Nest.
Wine stored in the frost and drunk in March.
Flowers like makeup, willows like waists.
I'm willing to send the date of return to Swallow.
Rushing east and west, always far away. (1)
Crossing thousands of mountains with one heart,
After thousands of mountains, the wings grow old.
…
Looking at the eaves, there is no one.
Spring swallows can't fly back to their nest.
Wandering in the old city, crying in the air.
The four o 'clock is over, and the cold and heat have disappeared. (2)
I want to ask where the villagers are.
The lost people are in Nanyao.
Longing is always like a knife.
…
Note:
(1) Zhuang State is in the west of Qi.
(2) The four o 'clock is over, because Maplewood City has stopped at that time forever, and there is no more spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Swallows don't come and go anymore.
I always feel that there should be a poem to go with this sword. So I wrote it in the shoes of Jiang Wang. Jiang Wang himself is not a person who plays with words and ink. This poem does not mean that he will have talent in this area. It's purely my feelings "for him". At the same time, I also hope that readers can understand these feelings more.
