One hundred and four: Wu Xin on the sword
"This man... would you recognize the wrong person?" Wu Han heard the man say something about the supervising magic weapon, and then praised Wu Xin with respect. For a moment, he was shocked and surprised. But when he saw that Wu Xin's expression was not very good, he asked on behalf of Wu Xin.
"I can't be wrong." The man waved his hand.
"This..." Wu Han opened his mouth and looked at Wu Xin, wanting to speak but stopping.
"If you have something to say, go in." Wu Xin got up and walked towards the backyard of the blacksmith shop, without looking back on her back: "Wu Han, close the work, don't come here first."
When Wu Han heard this, he closed the store door. The man smiled and followed Wu Xin to the backyard of the blacksmith shop.
The backyard of the blacksmith shop is not large, and there are only three small houses next to a patio, including the kitchen. Wu Xin took the man to the cramped living room, turned around and asked, "Who are you?"
Although his eyes were covered with cloth strips, the man felt like he was being scandalized by two sharp gazes.
Regardless of whether Wu Xin could see it or not, the man gave a gift first.
"I am Dongfangjing. I met Mr. Wu when I was a small military aircraft in the Daxia Dragon Court twenty years ago. Since Mr. Wu was hiding his identity, he must also know that the situation of those who came from the Daxia Dragon Court was not good. Alas, I also accidentally discovered Mr. Wu's place, and my talent could not be suppressed. If there is any rudeness, don't be surprised by Mr. Wu."
Although craftsmen ranked third among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce in the previous dynasty, and had a low status, Dongfangjing was very respectful when facing Wu Xin. This is because some craftsmen's skills have allowed him to transcend the system to a certain extent, and Wu Xin is such a craftsman.
Wu Xin sat down slowly and pressed the handrail steadily, "The past is over. You also know that if our identity is exposed, our situation will be in a worrying situation. Then why do you come to me? Wouldn't it be better to hide your name?"
"Mr. Wu, please listen to me." Dongfang Jing said slowly, "Although the hundreds of Qi Refiners occupy the Dragon Court of Daxia, my eight hundred years of foundation in Daxia can't be ruined day and night. It's not to be hiding. The reason why I am still in Youzhou and have not left the country to live in seclusion is because Qin Gong has reunited with the remnants of the Dragon Bird."
"Duke Qin?" Wu Xin's expression moved slightly, "Which Duke Qin?"
"It's the Grand Marshal Qin Jing." Dongfang Jing paused when he said the name of Qin Jing, which showed that he was very respectful, and then continued: "I am now one of the 120 Fire Transmission Envoys under Duke Qin."
"Sending Fire Envoy?" Wu Xin whispered to himself. Daxia was established by its virtue of fire, and most of the people who were called "Sending Fire Envoy" were the senior leaders of the Dragon Bird.
"That's right." Dongfang Jing nodded, "I came here today to invite Mr. Wu out of the mountain. Ten days ago, Duke Qin obtained a batch of iron and wanted to create a sharp weapon for his elite troops. Unfortunately, after the thieves set up the Heavenly Palace, many of the craftsmen with superb skills are among the craftsmen. Therefore, although the dragon bird has high-quality iron, it lacks skillful craftsmen..."
"Grand Tie? Congratulations to Mr. Qin, but I am just a blind man now and I can't help much."
Dongfang Jing was halfway through his speech, and Wu Xin shook his head and interrupted him.
"This..." Dongfang Jing frowned slightly, "Actually, I should have recognized Mr. Wu for a long time, but... Mr.'s eyes were cognizant of gold and jade, and the Holy Emperor praised him personally. I saw that Mr.'s eyes were already covered, so I didn't dare to confirm it for a long time... I'm sorry, what happened to Mr. Wu's eyes?"
Wu Xin pondered for a while: "There is nothing to say at this point."
"At that time, when the survival of the country was in critical condition, the emperor issued countless secret orders to win over the country's generals... I was the commander of the Imperial Army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I also received secret orders to cast divine weapons at all costs to help the elite troops of the Great Xia defeat the enemy. However, even the Prime Minister said back then that the demise of the country was accumulated over a hundred years, so how could it be merely..."
Wu Xin originally wanted to say that it could not be stopped by a mere Jin and iron weapon. When he thought of Dongfang Jing's identity, he paused and said, "The emperor's life cannot be violated. Then I will use the forbidden method to cast a sword with the method of sacrifice for life. This method will hurt the heavens. When I cast a sword, my eyes were indeed infected with a strange disease and I became blind not long after."
"Does the living sacrifice..." Dongfang Jing's expression was a little subtle, "This method does harm the world. Besides, burning a human body in the furnace may leave many impurities. What's the benefit of making a sword? It will also burn poisonous gas. This is probably the reason for the strange disease caused by the gentleman's eyes."
"Are you here to discuss sword making with me?" Wu Xin said lightly.
"I dare not do this. I just thought a little more when I heard the sacrifice of life for life." Dongfang Jing whispered.
"It's not your fault. I haven't been asleep for three days before I made my teeth and made up my mind." Wu Xin paused, "You don't know the sword-making technique. You know that minerals are just gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead, and mercury. But I don't know that the minerals in the world correspond to the number of Tiangang and Earth Evils, and there are a total of 108 kinds."
"It's really a mysterious creation." Dongfang Jing was stunned for a moment and sighed, "I'm ignorant."
Wu Xin nodded: "Don't be too rude. You just need to know that the rarer minerals are, the harder it is to refine them. For example, the red copper of Kunwu, the essence of cold gold and other divine objects can only be obtained unless the saint uses the subtle divine thoughts to temper it with true fire, but I can also obtain some with the forbidden method."
"How to get it?" Dongfang Li couldn't help but listened to it.
"The flesh and blood of the human body contains many minerals. If you put the human body into the furnace, you can cast the minerals in your body into weapons, which can make the weapons extremely magical. The more advanced the cultivation of a Qi Refiner, the better the body tempers, the more divine ore there will be in your body. This is the reason why the forbidden method exists."
Dongfang Jing pondered for a moment and said, "I have heard that no matter how exquisitely cast the ordinary soldiers, they are only hard and sharp, and can cut iron like mud. Some magic weapons can make the sun colder during the three-day and deep winter. I thought this was just a rumor, but at this time I thought that only such magic weapons could be worthy of Mr. Wu's casting at the cost of his eyes."
Wu Xin shook his head: "You said that Xuanming Duan Water was created by my ancestors five hundred years ago. This knife, under the blessing of internal Qi, can touch water to ice, cut off water to block the flow, and can also be ranked among the top ten in the sixteen states of Fuli. I am not good at learning skills, and my skills are far inferior to my ancestors. When I cast my sword to the last moment, hundreds of schools even attacked the Dragon Court of Daxia, but my efforts were squandered."
"The eyes disappeared, but the sword was not formed..." Dongfang Jing sighed for a long time, "What a pity, otherwise, if this sword was cast, the name of the wise man could even be recorded in history."
