The way back to Beijing was a bit difficult because it snowed.
Xie Linlang was not afraid of the cold. Even when it snowed, she wore clothes that others would only wear in autumn. She then sat in the carriage with a cup of hot tea in her hand, looking at the snow from time to time, and reading books from time to time. The days were very pleasant.
At this time, the dark guard Xunfeng who was driving the car said.
"Lord Xie, looking at the road conditions, it is estimated that it will take the day after tomorrow to arrive at Liuling."
Liuling is adjacent to Jiangnan. If you reach Jiangnan, the capital will be fast.
Xie Linlang nodded, "No hurry, wait until Liu Ling rests for two days."
I heard that Liu Ling's weapons are very good, especially good at casting swords. At that time, she can choose a pair of swords, and Qin Jue and Qin Jue each have one. Although Qin Jue does not lack these things, how can she give her the incense given by others? Xie Gongzi thought proudly.
Soon, when the car arrived at Liuling, Xie Linlang asked Ye Bai, a dark guard who is good at disguising, to darken her simple complexion, and then took him out of the inn to go shopping.
Because it was not long after the Lantern Festival, the city was still very lively, with vendors on both sides selling goods, and crowds crowded on the road.
Xie Linlang took Ye Bai to inquire about the most famous swordsmith in the city, and went to his shop.
This Master Li's shop is not in the busy city, but at the end of the auxiliary street. It looks large in scale, but it is deserted, and there is not a single customer.
But as long as you walk in and take a look, you can feel the charm of a century-old store.
The first thing Xie Linlang saw after entering the door was a big tree!
On the tree are densely hung swords of different shapes, but these swords are all useless and defective.
To be able to discard so many swords and not recreate them, it seems that this Master Li is very rich... You must know that metal is also very expensive.
Xie Linlang touched her pocket, wondering if she had enough money.
According to the recommendation of the servant, Xie Linlang finally met Master Li who had just come out of the workshop. Unlike the old man she imagined, this Master Li looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, but his arms were very thick and his fists were very strong. Big, it is estimated that it can go up the mountain to fight tigers.
After knowing Xie Linlang's intention, Master Li wiped his hands, asked the apprentice to watch the fire, and brought her to the underground secret room himself.
Here, there are dozens of swords hanging. These swords have been accumulated by their family and have not yet been sold. The price of each sword is very high.
Two of them were shot by his great-grandfather. Because the asking price was too high, they were never sold, and they were hung right above the secret room.
Xie Linlang looked at the two swords and was very satisfied. They perfectly explained what it means to be made into steel. Not only that, but they also had patterns left by repeated exercise, which looked both beautiful and practical.
Xie Linlang originally wanted these two, but according to the routine, she still asked one more question.
"Are these two of your best swords? Isn't there a better one?"
As soon as she said this, she thought that the other party would say no more, but Master Li pondered for a moment, and said hesitantly.
"There should be no better swords than them, but there is a sword left by Grandpa Taizu in this shop. The sword is only half-finished and has no edge, and Grandpa Taizu also left a last word, saying that the sword would not be sold, Only for those who are destined."
Xie Linlang was excited when she heard it, it was obvious that it was an adventure!
So she said quickly, "Please show me."
Master Li hesitated for a moment, took out the key hanging around his neck, and led her to the next level.
In the cold underground, there were two swords hanging there quietly.
One of them looks like a divine sword! Although it is metal, in the light of the oil lamp, it shows a mysterious silver-blue color. I don’t know how long it has existed, but there is no rust at all.
The other one is a bit ordinary. It's pitch black and the whole body is one color. There's no sharp part to be seen. It's like a piece of scrap iron.
Xie Linlang was a little strange, "Didn't you say there is only one sword, why are there two here?"
Master Li looked at them and said respectfully.
"That silver-blue sword is the pinnacle of Grandpa Taizu's work, but this sword has a fatal flaw. It must be placed with the Heavenly Meteor Sword so that it will not rust, otherwise it will be broken in ten and a half months. Full of red rust.
But what's interesting is that as long as it is put together with the Sky Meteor Sword, the rusted part will slowly recover, so our ancestors have always kept it beside the Sky Meteor Sword. That black iron sword is the Sky Meteor Sword. sword.
It is made of flying stones from the sky, and the raw materials are unique.
When Grandpa Taizu left his last words, he retreated and forged the sword, but during the forging process, no matter what Grandpa Taizu did, he could not let the sword open.
He was crazy, and finally jumped out of the furnace to forge the sword with his body, but unfortunately, the sword was still unopened. "
Xie Linlang was originally very satisfied with this sword. This kind of magical sword was designed for her at first glance. It doesn't matter if it looks ugly, the important thing is to be strong.
But when I heard that the people who made it sacrificed their lives, Xie Linlang stayed away from it.
Although she has killed countless people, it does not mean that she likes to kill. This sword has not been edged to kill the sword maker. It does not match her gentle and elegant appearance. She still prefers the one next to her. It is beautiful and holds it in hand. It must be more majestic!
As for the rust that leaves the Sky Meteor Sword, she believes that it can be solved. She believes in science and firmly believes that this is just a chemical reaction, and that red rust may not be real rust.
So she said, "Since this Heavenly Meteorite Sword is so important to your Grandfather Taizu, it's better to keep it in your town house. As for the one next to it, this young master likes it very much. I don't know how much it will cost?"
As she said, she took two steps closer to look at the pattern on the sword. The sword was more beautiful when she saw it up close. Xie Linlang suddenly felt that Qin Jue must be more handsome wearing it!
Unexpectedly, the boss shook his head firmly.
"These two swords have been together for so many years, how can they be separated? When did the Heavenly Meteor Sword find its fate, then that person is qualified to buy this sword, give it a name, and take them away together."
When Xie Linlang heard the words, she couldn't help but glanced at the dark sword next to her, thinking that the ancients were superstitious and actually believed that a sword could find its own owner.
She walked over, looked at it, and asked curiously.
"Then how can it be considered a person who is destined for it?" It can't speak, can't fly, is locked under this, can it still dream
Sure enough, Master Li couldn't say why.
Xie Linlang lowered her head to observe and found that the sword was indeed not edged. She couldn't help but touch it and said casually.
"If you don't sell it, don't sell it. A gentleman can't be hard on others. I don't know how much are the two swords outside?" Although she can't buy the best, she can buy the most expensive!
She just came out of Xiangcheng and brought 80,000 taels of silver notes on her body, so she was not afraid of the other party's offer.
