"Well, what does this have to do with the Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Knife?" Murong Fu was not very interested in the history of Emei, but was eager to know what the secret Zhou Zhiruo was talking about.
"Don't be anxious, listen to me slowly!" Zhou Zhiruo gave him an angry look and said, "Later on, the world was in war, and the Emei Sect quickly turned from prosperity to decline. It was not until the Qin State unified the world that things improved slightly, but the good times did not last.
"After Qin Shihuang sat on the Dragon Throne, he had trouble sleeping every day. In his dreams, there was a real dragon asking for his life. To relieve his worries, he did three things."
"What three things?" Murong Fu suddenly became interested, because from a certain perspective, Qin Shihuang was the person he wanted to imitate.
"Collect the soldiers of the world, gather the sword-forging masters from all over the world, and send people to the East China Sea to find the elixir of death." Zhou Zhiruo paused, and continued, "Needless to say, collect the soldiers from the world, and gather the sword-forging masters from all over the world. What a coincidence.
Unfortunately, the third generation head of Emei at that time happened to be one of the most famous swordsmiths in the world, so he was summoned by Emperor Qin."
"Qin Shihuang gathered together the most famous swordsmiths in the world at that time, and spent ten years collecting the century-old mysterious fire essence from the top of the Tianshan Mountains, the thousand-year-old cold gold and iron from the shore of the East China Sea, and the ten thousand-year-old immortal bamboo from the far west, and asked you to
The master swordsmiths worked together to create the most domineering and sharpest sword in the world, a magic weapon that can rely on the sky to slay dragons and sweep across the world."
Murong Fu was dumbfounded by what he said. He had never heard of thousand-year cold gold and iron or ten-thousand-year-old immortal bamboo. Moreover, although the Yitian Sword was much sharper than an ordinary long sword, it could not be called a magic weapon in the true sense. Could it be
Is this the masterpiece of a master swordsmith?
Zhou Zhiruo seemed to have seen what Murong Fu was thinking, smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, the so-called century-old mysterious fire essence is an iron essence made by calcining meteorites in the crater of the volcano, and the thousand-year cold gold iron is made from the mysterious ice and ice on the bottom of the sea.
A kind of cold iron formed from gold and iron. As for the immortal bamboo, it is a bamboo that has been struck by lightning nine times and is still alive. However, the Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Sword are not made of these three things."
Although she spoke in an understatement, Murong Fu knew very well that it was not an exaggeration to call these three things divine objects. Even if any one of them was made into a weapon, it would be enough to dazzle the world. For a moment, he couldn't help but look forward to what she said.
Said secret.
"The materials are all ready, and the master swordsmiths are in place, but it is so difficult to forge these three things into a magical weapon. Ten swordsmiths spent countless efforts and decades before the sword embryo finally took shape. Among them,
There were also three swordsmiths who died due to old age and exhaustion of their lifespan."
"The First Emperor of Qin also died in depression before the divine weapon was born. Once he died, the divine weapon that was about to be born became an ownerless thing. After all, the seven sword masters were also mortals. How could they not be unmoved, so a self-inflicted
That’s how the fratricide began.”
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhiruo didn't know what she thought of. She looked at Murong Fu with something strange in her eyes and asked, "If Brother Murong had to choose between Shen Bing and Zhi Ruo, what would Brother Murong choose?"
"No need to ask, of course I will choose..." Murong Fu blurted out that he would choose Zhou Zhiruo, but when his mind changed, he smiled and said, "Of course I will choose both Shenbing and Zhiruo. The ancients said that fish
You can’t have it both ways, but I just want to have both.”
"When manpower is limited, can we really have both?" Zhou Zhiruo's face showed no trace of happiness, she just murmured in a low voice, her eyes slightly moist.
"Why, you don't believe what I say?" Murong Fu couldn't help feeling slightly surprised.
"No, I believe it...I believe it!" Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and shook her head.
Murong Fu was confused, but he didn't say anything more.
Zhou Zhiruo calmed down and continued, "The seven top masters fought so hard that most of the entire sword-making pool was destroyed. They also alerted the Xianyang guards. Seeing that there was no hope of making swords, the seven sword-smiths took the unforged swords.
The sword was divided into seven parts, and each part rolled up and he hurriedly escaped from the palace."
"After the founder of our sect returned to Emei, he immediately announced that he would close the mountain and hide in the world. As for what he grabbed in that battle, he never mentioned it until his death. However, after that, the Emei sect had two more swords to suppress the sect, the sword call
Make it the 'Dragon-Slaying Sword', and call it the 'Yitian Sword'."
"This is how the Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Sword came about." After Murong Fu heard this, it was not difficult to guess that the Emei swordsmith master had reforged some of the magic weapons he had grabbed into the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Heaven-Slaying Sword.
.
But what exactly was hidden in the sword, and what connection it had with Xiake Island, he was still confused, and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Zhiruo with suspicion.
She did not disappoint Murong Fu. She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip before continuing, "The Emei Sect has been clean for hundreds of years since then. Although there are occasional rumors of the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Sword in the world,
No one dared to snatch it, until more than a hundred years ago, a mysterious force calling itself the 'Tianjian Sect' suddenly came to the door and demanded to hand over the Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Sword."
"Tianjian Sect?" Murong Fu couldn't help but was stunned. He had never heard of such a sect in the world.
Zhou Zhiruo nodded and continued, "Contemporary masters naturally refuse to allow it. Although this 'Tianjian Sect' is unknown, its power is extremely terrifying. Overnight, hundreds of first-class masters and dozens of top masters gathered together.
Among the masters, the first two were so skilled in martial arts that even Guo Xiang, the leader of the martial arts at that time, was seriously injured in just three moves. In the end, the three secluded elders were forced to go out to defend themselves against the enemy.
These two people stopped me."
"The two sides fought for three days and three nights. However, the other side was outnumbered. Although the Emei Sect fought hard to defend, the dragon-slaying knife was still snatched away by the other side. After this battle, not one of the Emei Sect's disciples survived, including male disciples.
Almost all of them died in the battle, and the three elders eventually died of exhaustion, and the Emei Sect completely declined."
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but look a little pale. Although she had not personally experienced that battle, whether she was listening to Master Miejie's oral account or listening to it now with Murong Fu, she could not help but feel a bit thrilling and desolate about the bloody battle.
.
"What happened next? Could it be that the Heavenly Sword Sect was hiding in Xia Ke Island, or that Xia Ke Island was originally the home base of the Tian Sword Sect?" Murong Fu's heart moved and he expressed his guess.
Zhou Zhiruo shook her head, "After many investigations, Xia Ke Island is indeed likely to be the home base of Tianjian Sect. According to Master, in fact, after the seven sword masters fled each other, they did not completely cut off contact. After calming down,
, they all agreed that the divine sword was too violent, and if it were to be born, it would definitely cause endless killings, so they agreed with each other that the seven people and their descendants would never meet each other, so that the divine sword would never appear in the world."
"So Master guesses that the 'Tianjian Sect' back then was created by the descendants of one of the seven sword-making masters hundreds of years ago. They snatched the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Sword just because they wanted to recast the Divine Sword.
But later, for some unknown reason, the snatched dragon-slaying knife ended up in the world again, causing a bloody storm."
"I understand, it turns out to be like this." After hearing this, Murong Fu couldn't explain what he felt in his heart, because all this was too illusory. He simply couldn't imagine that it could be cast with materials that were like legendary mythical objects.
What exactly does the completed weapon look like? And from what Zhou Zhiruo said, it seems that this is just the speculation of Master Miejie. No one knows whether Xiake Island is the Heavenly Sword Sect or whether it has recast the divine weapon.
To put it simply, it was like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mist. It was difficult for him to feel anything.
Zhou Zhiruo did not notice the subtle change in Murong Fu's expression and continued, "Before his death, Master ordered me to spend my whole life to retrieve the dragon-slaying knife and revive Emei. When I am strong enough, I can board the Knight Island to take revenge!"
Murong Fu breathed a long sigh of relief and frowned. After a long while, he slowly said, "Zhiruo, I'm afraid you went to Knight Island not only for revenge, but also because of that divine sword."
?”
Zhou Zhiruo nodded, "Zhiruo once said that whatever Brother Murong wants, Zhiruo will help you get it. You once wanted the Yitian Sword, and Zhiruo originally planned to give it to you after taking over as the leader, but now that you have
Knowing that Yitian Sword is related to another divine sword, it is natural to give him a better one."
In fact, what she said was somewhat untrue. Master Miejie's original last words were just for her to retrieve the dragon-slaying knife and revive Emei. There was no mention of the so-called revenge at all, and he even asked her to never set foot on Knight Island.
It’s just that Zhou Zhiruo knew that Murong Fu had been coveting the world for a long time. As soon as she got this secret, her first thought was that if Murong Fu got this magic weapon, the world would be able to get it at their fingertips. Her original plan was to wait until Emei was strong enough to do it.
Going to Xia Ke Island, it was only a few days ago that she received news that Murong Fu had taken over the order of rewarding good and punishing evil, so she decided to go to Xia Ke Island in a hurry. In her haste, she was obviously not well prepared.
If Master Miejie Taijiuquan learned that Zhou Zhiruo's elbows were turned outward so much, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would jump out of the coffin.
Of course, no one will ever know this little secret.
Murong Fu was moved in his heart, but still frowned. He thought about it in his mind before he said, "Zhiruo, just now you asked me, if the divine weapon and Zhiruo were placed in front of me, what would I choose? In fact, what I really want in my heart is
The thing is, let alone a mere magic weapon placed in front of me, even if it is ten or a hundred, it is not as important as my Zhiruo, so if you take risks for the so-called magic weapon, I will not allow it."
Zhou Zhiruo was stunned for a moment, then her nose became sore, and two crystal tears slowly flowed down from the corners of her eyes, and they plunged into Murong Fu's chest.
Murong Fu patted her soft back and said warmly, "Not to mention whether Xia Ke Island is the Heavenly Sword Sect or not, even if they are really recasting the magic weapon, it will definitely be a dragon pool and a tiger's den. Let alone you, even if I add two
It's not enough to fill the gap between people's teeth, let alone the divine sword that has long since fallen apart and one of the fragments is still in your hand. Do you think it is possible to forge a divine weapon?"
"Brother Murong?" Zhou Zhiruo raised her head, with tears in her eyes, looking at Murong Fu with confusion.
"Although the magic weapon is good, it is so illusory that it cannot match your affection." Murong Fu said affectionately.
Hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo was even more moved.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. You haven't told me what is hidden in the Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Knife?"
