Dragon Warrior

Chapter 163 Sword Renewal

Although the heroes are determined to stay and defend against foreign enemies, they don't know exactly what's going on under the mountain, and they don't have a plan for how to fight.Zhang Wuji sent many congregants down the mountain to investigate the situation, but there is no definite date yet.

Everyone walked out of the meeting hall, walked through the huge square, and came to the halfway up the mountain on the way down the mountain. Looking far away, they saw a faint figure at the bottom of the mountain, lit with dots of torches, which was very spectacular in the night. The horns sounded one after another, and the army was majestic.

In the eyes of everyone, from time to time, some martial arts practitioners with injuries on their bodies fled up the mountain in embarrassment.These are the people who went down the mountain earlier, after being blocked by Yuan soldiers, after a lot of bloody battles, they managed to fight a bloody way and fled back again.

Everyone also learned something from them. The enemy army at the foot of the mountain was extremely well equipped.In such a dark night, if you want to attack by force, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

It was night now, and it was obviously extremely unreliable to operate in the dark when the distribution of the enemy troops was completely unknown.Zhang Wuji urgently summoned the congregation on the mountain, mainly using the five-element flag, and set up heavy defenses at key places to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to attack the mountain.

On the second day, although the Mongolian officers and soldiers did not attack the mountain, the heroes were unable to fight back in the dark.Xiao Jing and the others gathered together again to check the enemy's situation on the mountainside and discuss countermeasures, when they suddenly heard the voice of Zhentianjie coming from the bottom of the mountain.

Xiao Jing frowned and said: "This must be the arrival of King Ruyang's army. As a result, [-] elite cavalry have gathered at the foot of the mountain. We people don't know how to fight in ranks. It is impossible to fight head-on under a mess of sand. Arrange people to guard the important roads, as long as the enemy's attack is blocked, Ruyang King will be exhausted for a long time, and it will be difficult to continue."

Zhang Wuji said: "That's right, let's try to stop it quietly. As long as we hold on for a while, the rebels scattered all over the place will come to the rescue. At that time, King Ruyang will be the one to worry about."

Xiao Jing said: "Although there are few of us, we all have unique skills. Kunlun's dangerous road is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is not good for cavalry, but it is beneficial for us Jianghu people. As long as it is arranged properly, it is enough to drag King Ruyang back."

Zhang Wuji said: "It's impossible for a snake to have no head. If we want to twist our forces into one, we must have a unified order. Brother Xiao is wise and brave. He is the best in the world, and there are no heroes in the world who refuse to obey. Why don't we have you as our commander? Responsible for the deployment of heroes from all walks of life."

Xiao Jing declined and said: "Brother Zhang is the landlord of the Mingjiao General Forum here, and you should be the leader of all the heroes. I'm not very educated, and I'm not proficient in the way of the army. If one is not good, I'm afraid I will miss a big deal. "

Zhang Wuji said: "Brother Xiao, don't refuse, if you want to find a person in the field who is respected by all parties, it must be Brother Xiao. I am willing to look up to my elder brother."

Juejue Shitai said: "The master Xiao's martial arts ability and character, the old nun is very trustworthy, and our Emei faction should also obey the orders of the leader Xiao."

The remaining Wudang, Shaolin, Kongtong and other factions of all sizes also came out to express their persuasion, expressing their willingness to obey Xiao Jing's orders.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Xiao Jing had no choice but to accept it.He also knows that there is no more suitable candidate than him in the field, and it is really not the time to be humble right now.

First of all, his martial arts are the most powerful, but in the final analysis, force is still the most respected in the arena. Whoever has the biggest fist will naturally have the most right to speak.Secondly, there is no one else who can not only be trusted and obeyed by the righteous sects, but also convinced by Mingjiao. It is impossible to change someone else, even Abbot Kongwen.

Now that he took over the burden, Xiao Jing immediately began to give orders.In fact, the matter is not complicated, it is nothing more than ordering the various factions to assist the congregation headed by Mingjiao Five Elements Banner to defend the main roads.

After the arrangement was completed, Xiao Jing said: "The Dragon Slaying Saber and the Yitian Sword are extremely sharp, and they are of great help in group battles, but they are both broken now. I wonder if the brothers of the Mingjiao Ruijin Banner can help to recast them?"

Wu Jincao, head of the Ruijin Banner, stepped forward and said: "I am a blacksmith, and I have learned how to forge swords and swords. Wait for me to try and see if I can connect this precious sword and sword together."

Yang Xiao said: "Wu Qishi's skill in forging swords is unparalleled in the world, you might as well order him to have a try."

Wu Jincao said to Xin Ran, the envoy of the Raging Fire Banner: "The key to casting a sword and casting a sword lies in the temperature of the fire, and you need Brother Xin's help. Look at this, the Tartars won't attack the mountain for a while, so why don't we brothers do it right away?" ?”

Xin Ran smiled and said, "Growing firewood and lighting a fire is my brother's specialty."

So the two commanded their subordinates to build a blast furnace with a fire hole less than one foot in diameter.Wu Jincao firmly built the half-section of the dragon-slaying knife in the furnace, and aligned the cut-off point with the fire hole.

All kinds of fuel for the Raging Fire Banner are ready-made, and a raging fire will be ignited in an instant.Beside Wu Jincao were more than a dozen weapons, and he watched the fire intently. Every time he saw the fire change color, he would put the weapons into the furnace to test the firepower. , clamped half of the dragon knife, joined with the half of the knife head, and melted in the flames.

He was stripped naked from the upper body, sparks splashed on his body, he didn't seem to notice it, he was engrossed in it all the time, and his mind was not distracted.

Zhang Wuji thought to himself: "Although forging swords is a trivial way, there are also great knowledge and great skills in it. If it is an ordinary blacksmith, the heat alone will not be able to withstand it."

Suddenly, two popping sounds were heard, and the two disciples of the Raging Fire Banner who pulled the bellows fainted to the ground.Xin Ran and Lie Huo Banner's deputy envoy rushed forward, dragged away the fainted two, and pulled the bellows to blow the wind.Both of these two people's internal energy cultivation is not weak, when the wind blows vigorously, the fire shoots straight up, the flames are as high as Zhang Xu, it is a spectacle.

After half a stick of incense, Wu Jincao suddenly shouted: "Ah!" He jumped back, his face full of frustration.

Everyone was shocked, when they looked at his hands, they saw that the iron tongs had been melted and distorted, but the Dragon Slaying Saber remained motionless.

Wu Jincao shook his head and said, "This subordinate is incompetent. This Dragon Slaying Sword is well-deserved."

Xin Ran and Lie Huo Qi's deputy envoys stopped chattering and stepped aside.The whole body of the two of them was sweaty, as if they had crawled out of the water.

Xiao Jing frowned and said: "Forget it, whether this sword can be successfully connected is the overall situation of the five levels. It is gratifying to succeed, and it doesn't matter if you lose. I will trouble Brother Wu."

Zhao Min suddenly said: "Master Zhang, aren't those holy fire orders that even the dragon-slaying knife can't cut through?"

Zhang Wuji said: "Ah, that's right!" He took out the Holy Fire Token from his bosom, handed it to Wu Jincao and said, "The Holy Fire Token is the most precious treasure of our sect, it cannot be damaged."

Wu Jincao said: "Yes!" He bowed and took it, seeing that the five sacred flames were neither gold nor iron, they were incomparably hard, he weighed them in his hands, bowed his head in meditation, after a while, he woke up from his meditation, and said : "This sacred fire order is made of platinum black iron mixed with emery and other things, and the fire must not melt it. The subordinates are very puzzled. I don't know how it was cast back then. It is really unimaginable."

Zhao Min said to Wu Jincao: "Look, there are patterned characters engraved on the sacred fire order, and the sharpness of Dragon Slaying Saber and Yitian Sword can't damage it at all, who used to carve these patterned characters?"

Wu Jincao said: "It's not difficult to engrave patterns and characters. It is to spread white wax on the holy fire order, carve patterns and characters on the wax, and then inject strong acid to slowly corrode it over several months. After the white wax is scraped off, the patterned characters are carved. What villains don't understand is the method of melting and casting."

Xin Ran called out, "Hey, are you going to do it or not?"

Wu Jincao said to Zhang Wuji: "Don't worry, Master, although Brother Xin's raging fire is fierce, it can't damage the Holy Fire Order."

Xin Ran felt a little apprehensive, and said, "I will try my best to fan the fire. If I burn the sacred objects of my religion, I will not be guilty."

Wu Jincao smiled and said: "You don't have the ability to measure, I will take care of everything."

So he clamped the half of the dragon-slaying knife between the two holy fire tokens, then took a new pair of steel tongs, held the two holy fire tokens, put the sword into the fire and burned it again.The flames rushed higher and higher, and burned for more than half an hour. Seeing Wu Jincao, Xin Ran, and Lie Huo Qi's Deputy Envoy under the scorching flames, their expressions became more and more fatigued, and they gradually became unable to hold on.

Taoist Iron Crown Zhang Zhong winked at Zhou Dian, swung his left hand round, and the two rushed to replace Xin Ran and Lie Huo Qi's deputy, pulling the bellows vigorously.Zhang Zhou's internal strength was much higher than those two, and a straight white flame rose into the sky from the furnace.

Wu Jincao suddenly shouted: "Brother Gu, do it!"

The vice-envoy of the Ruijin Banner held a sharp knife and rushed to the side of the furnace, and with a flash of white light, the knife stabbed at Wu Jincao's chest.The heroes on the sidelines all lost their colors and exclaimed in unison.Blood shot out from Wu Jincao's naked chest, dripping onto the dragon-slaying knife. When the blood was heated, green smoke rose up.

Wu Jincao shouted: "It's done!" He took a few steps back and sat down on the ground, holding a big black knife in his right hand, and the two blades of the dragon-slaying knife were inlaid together.

Only then did everyone understand that the master craftsman who forged swords and swords often dripped blood into the blade whenever the casting failed. In ancient times, Mo Xie and his wife even jumped into the furnace by themselves to forge the supreme sharp weapon.Wu Jincao's move can be said to be a legacy of ancient master craftsmen.

Xiao Jing hurriedly helped Wu Jincao up, inspected his wound, saw that the knife penetrated very shallowly, and there was no serious problem, so he applied Jinchuang medicine on him, bandaged the wound, and said: "Brother Wu, why is this so? This knife It doesn't matter whether it can be continued, but Brother Wu has suffered so much."

Wu Jincao said: "Small flesh wounds, what are they? I let Master Xiao worry about it." Standing up, he raised the dragon-slaying knife and saw that the joints were seamless, with only a faint bloodstain. He couldn't help being very proud.

Xiao Jing saw that the two holy fire tokens that had been burnt in the furnace were indeed intact, and immediately took the Dragon Slaying Saber, and slashed at the two fine iron long swords, with a light ding sound, the two swords broke in response The end is to cut iron like mud.

The heroes cheered loudly, and they all praised: "Good knife! Good knife!"

Wu Jincao rested for a while, held two Yitian swords in his hands, and did the same thing again, restoring the swords to their original state, and they still belonged to the Emei Sect.
