Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 434, Problems with Tangxi Sword Alliance

Anyone would be scared if a group of strong men stared at their waists with hungry eyes, and Ziyou was no exception. Ziyou glanced at these muscular men and wondered if the Tangxi Sword Alliance had any special hobbies?

Thinking of this, Ziyou discovered that since entering the Tangxi Sword League, he had not seen a woman, and even the dogs running on the roadside were male dogs.

Ou Ming naturally noticed the gazes of his disciples and coughed lightly.

"Everyone, get out of here. Your distinguished guests are coming. You all should go home and don't interfere with me talking to your distinguished guests."

Ou Ming felt that Ziyou was a distinguished guest. He was being modest. Just by considering any title on Ziyou, their Tangxi Sword Alliance could not afford to offend him. As long as Ziyou said a word, their Tangxi Sword Alliance could do it. It has become history.

As the leader of the Tangxi Sword Alliance, Ou Ming still spoke with authority. After he spoke, these men left one after another. They were the only ones left in the huge square.

"Let Mr. Ziyou laugh. We in the Tangxi Sword League are all vulgar people with no sense of etiquette. You also know that the Tangxi Sword League is famous for making swords, so it is difficult to resist famous swords, so they are staring at your waist. Zhanlu, of course they don’t have the guts to kill people and steal goods." Ou Ming said.

Looking at Zhan Lu on his waist, Ziyou smiled helplessly. He had forgotten about this matter. Swordsmiths are no different from swordsmen except that they like to make swords. Their pursuit of famous swords is even higher than that of swordsmen. Different What's more, they don't want to tame the famous sword for their own use, but they want to understand the famous sword and learn from the famous sword the methods and techniques used by the person who made it in the first place, thereby improving their sword-making skills.

"The people in the land of Tangxi are simple and honest, so naturally I won't worry about anything. I came to visit the Tangxi Sword League this time in the hope that the Tangxi Sword League can help the Qin State forge a sword!" Ziyou said.

"Forging swords?" Ou Ming said, "I remember that Qin's current casting and smelting technology has far surpassed that of the Tangxi Sword Alliance. I don't know why Mr. Ziyou came to our Tangxi Sword Alliance to ask for a sword even though he is near and far away?"

The resentment in Ou Ming's tone stunned everyone present.

"Master of the European Union, did you not misunderstand anything? The sword I want to forge is not an ordinary sword, nor is it even an ordinary famous sword. In the entire world, except for the Tangxi Sword Alliance, which has the strength to cast the sword I want, even Chu Mo Ye doesn't have the ability to cast the sword I asked for," Ziyou explained.

Ziyou's words helped Ou Ming. Although outsiders compared Tangxi and Chu Mo in terms of sword-making skills, in fact Tangxi looked down upon Chu Mo at all. If Chu Mo had not received the sword-making skills provided by the Xu family, their sword-making skills would The methods are completely inferior to the Tangxi Sword Alliance.

"I wonder what kind of sword Mr. Ziyou wants to forge?" Ou Ming asked cautiously. Ziyou's words just now showed how difficult it was to make the sword this time, so Ou Ming naturally did not dare to agree hastily.

"The most important weapon of the country is the Ding Qin Sword!" Ziyou said.

When Ou Ming heard this, his breathing suddenly became rapid. He pressed his hands on the stone table, and the strong force left the mark of his palms on the stone table.

"Leader Ou Ming, calm down," Ziyou said.

Hearing Ziyou's words, Ou Ming wanted to say that he couldn't calm down. Just by looking at the name of Ding Qin Jian, he knew what kind of sword it was. This would be the sword of luck for the future Qin State, symbolizing the entire Qin State. It's the whole world.

The swordsmith has three pursuits. The first is to create a famous sword. The second is to create a peerless sword. The third is also the swordsmith's greatest honor, to create a sword that symbolizes the destiny of the country. sword.

From ancient times to the present, there is only one swordsmith who can forge a sword that carries the fate of a country, and that is Ou Ming's ancestor, Ou Yezi. The Goujian Sword of King Yue, which symbolizes the State of Yue, carries the Sword of Victory over Evil and the Pure Jun Sword of the State of Wu. These three swords are the goals that all swordsmiths aspire to. If they can complete one of them, they will have to pay any price. Either way.

As a descendant of Ou Yezi, Ou Ming's biggest pursuit is to create a sword comparable to that of his ancestor Ou Yezi, but the three swords he has created in his life can only be called famous swords, and even It cannot be called a peerless sword, let alone a sword that symbolizes the destiny of a country.

Now that Ziyou took the initiative to give him this opportunity, how could he not be excited?

If you want to cast a famous sword or a peerless sword, as long as the technology is in place, the quality of the materials is high enough, and you choose an auspicious zodiac, you can still create it under certain circumstances. But the luck sword is different. If you want to make a luck sword, first you have to choose a country. The luck of this country is strong enough to be condensed into a sword embryo. Secondly, the king dares to let you build it. If during the crafting process, If something goes wrong, it will have a huge impact on a country's destiny.

At the same time, there are many strict requirements to create a sword of national destiny. In short, to create a sword that symbolizes the destiny of a country requires enough effort and money to create several peerless swords.

Although he was excited, Ou Ming forced himself to calm down.

"Mr. Ziyou, do we really want our Tangxi Sword Alliance to build this Ding Qin sword?" Ou Ming asked cautiously.

"Of course, although Ziyou doesn't know the art of sword-making, he also understands that only good materials, smelting techniques and casting techniques are needed. Without a powerful swordsmith who can forge the sword of national destiny, it is impossible to make the Ding Qin Sword, so I just came to see Tangxi Sword Alliance." Ziyou said.

"Okay, since the State of Qin believes in me, we, the Tangxi Sword Alliance, will definitely go all out." Ou Ming said immediately, ignoring other requests and accepting this task first, in case the casting of the Ding Qin Sword was caused by his hesitation. If Quilt You is handed over to others, the entire Tangxi Sword Alliance will regret it.

"But I also have a request. I hope the Tangxi Sword Alliance can use this sword as a sword embryo to make the Ding Qin Sword." Ziyou said and placed the Zhulu Sword wrapped tightly in cherry cloth around his waist on the table.

Ou Ming saw Zi You take out another sword and looked at it curiously. After Zi You took down all the cloth strips and looked at the Zhulu Sword inside, Ou Ming stood up excitedly.

"Stars outside the sky!" Just when Ou Ming was about to reach out and touch it, a copper-brown stone on his waist suddenly lit up, making Ou Ming put down his hand. "Is this a weapon of martial luck?"

Ziyou glanced at the stone on Ou Ming's waist and nodded.

"Yes, this is the weapon of the Zhao Kingdom's martial arts." "I'm afraid it's more than that. This grindstone was left by our ancestors. Our ancestors forged the pure Jun sword in the name of the King of Yue. When our ancestors forged this sword, it was red for thousands of years. Tin comes out of the Jinshan Mountain, and copper comes out of the Ruoye River after ten thousand years. When the sword is cast, Thunder God strikes iron, Rain Lady pours water, Jiaolong holds the stove, and the Emperor of Heaven fills the charcoal. Finally, after the sword is cast, the remaining This whetstone was left in the furnace. This whetstone has the ability to distinguish the material and quality of the sword. The black light flashed from the grindstone just now, indicating that this sword is more evil than the demon sword shark teeth. I'm afraid Apart from the legendary Chi You sword, there is no weapon more murderous than this sword," Ou Ming said.

"As expected of Ou Yezi's descendant, the material of this sword is indeed made of stars, but before he became this sword, he was the legendary Demon God of War." Ziyou told Ou Ming the story of Zhulu Sword.

After Ou Ming heard this, his eyes lit up, and when he looked at Zhulu Sword, his eyes were full of madness.

"This is the real sword. A sword is a murderous weapon. No matter how you modify it, it cannot change itself. The Zhulu Sword fits this sentence perfectly."

Seeing Ou Ming's crazy look, Zi You knew that he was right to come to Tangxi. Only such a man who is crazy about swords can create the Ding Qin sword in his heart.

"If the Zhulu Sword is placed in the Jianghu, the whole Jianghu will become bloody. If it is made into an important national weapon like the Ding Qin Sword, it would be inappropriate." Ou Ming calmed down and said.

As a professional swordsmith, Ou Ming is very aware of the disadvantages of the Zhulu Sword. The stars in the sky, the Demon God of War, and martial luck are all things that a swordsmith dreams of rarely seeing in a century. But when they are put together, Seems extremely dangerous.

The Ding Qin Sword must be worn on the King of Qin or enshrined in the Qin ancestral temple. If the Zhulu Sword is used to make the Ding Qin Sword from the sword embryo, then over time, the King of Qin will definitely be affected by the evil spirit contained in the Zhulu Sword, even if No matter how wise a person is, he can become a murderous tyrant.

"I know the disadvantages of the Zhulu Sword, so I'm not asking you to cast the Ding Qin Sword now. I need to go to the Western Regions and bring something out. You can use that thing to eliminate the evil spirit of the Zhulu Sword, and then you can cast it. Ding Qin Sword." Ziyou said.

"Mr. Ziyou has the best way to eliminate the evil spirit of the Zhulu Sword. During this period, I want to think about how to cast the Ding Qin Sword." Ou Ming said.

Generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible to cast a weapon of national destiny like the Ding Qin Sword without throwing dozens of living people into the furnace, and the Ding Qin Sword must have determined the destiny of the entire world at that time, and the people who were sacrificed The status and strength must not be ordinary people, at least they must be masters like him.

"Don't think about it when using living people to make swords. Think of other ways." Ziyou said.

Ziyou's refusal to use living people to practice swordsmanship was not out of soft-heartedness, but because the smelting technology of Qin State was now very perfect, and the temperature of the sword-practicing hut was high enough, so there was no need to use people to raise the temperature. Secondly, if the sword is not made by humans, the evil spirit of Zhulu Sword will be added to it.

"Yes." Ou Ming said.

"In addition to the matter of deciding Qin Jian, I also have some questions that I want to ask Alliance Leader Ou Ming." Ziyou said.

"Mr. Ziyou, no matter what you say, as long as it is not an internal secret of our Tangxi Sword Alliance, I will definitely tell you everything." Ou Ming said, now even if Ziyou asks Ou Ming to call him dad, he will call him dad without blinking, as long as Just let him cast the Ding Qin sword himself.

"There was obviously a bit of resentment in your words just now. Why is that?" Ziyou asked curiously.

Hearing Ziyou ask this question, Xue Nu, Yan Fei and others also pricked up their ears and got ready to eat.

When Ou Ming heard Zi You's question, the joy in his eyes disappeared, and the look he looked at Zi You gradually turned resentful.

"This is because of the Qin State. Originally, the Tangxi Sword Alliance and the Mohist Family were responsible for forging valuable swords for private individuals, while the Mohist Family was responsible for providing weapons to various countries. Our two families were in peace with each other. Occasionally, we would receive some large-scale orders. The bill of goods, but since the Qin State successively destroyed Han, Wei, Yan, and now the Zhao State, the dignitaries of the four countries have either had their homes confiscated by the Qin State or been exiled. And within the Qin State, due to the Qin State's casting and smelting techniques It's not much worse. The implementation of the Lingyi system has caused our Tangxi Sword Alliance's inventory to decrease rapidly. The only big order we have received in recent years, three thousand fine swords, came from the south.

When Tangxi still belonged to South Korea, the King of Han allowed us to cast weapons at will and did not charge taxes on the swords we sold. However, the Qin State was different. The Qin State had quantitative requirements for the casting of our weapons, and every time we sold weapons, Qin will ask us to pay taxes!

In addition, the Mohist family has the support of Qin's casting and smelting technology. Originally, we and Chu Mo were the masters of sword making. Now there is another Mohist family. The Mohist family's wealthy swords are not lower than ours, so we basically support it. Can't live. We don't dare to fall out with the Mohist family, let alone the Qin State. We can only restrain ourselves and reduce our sense of existence. "Ou Ming said.

Hearing Ou Ming's words, Ziyou and others looked at each other in confusion. They did not expect that it was because of this problem. The doubts in their hearts were completely solved. To put it bluntly, it was Qin's policy and the Mohist family with the support of Qin's policy. Tangxi Sword Alliance couldn't bear it any longer.

"Da Qin Academy has previously sent out invitations to hundreds of schools in the world, but doesn't the Tangxi Sword Alliance also have one?" Ziyou asked curiously.

Although the Tangxi Sword Alliance has not become a sect, their casting skills can be considered to have merits. The Great Qin Academy will not miss this opportunity, and the Qin State is not so overbearing that it wants everyone to be like a slave. Surrender, Qin will not compress the living space of Jianghu, because Jianghu has the inevitability of his existence.

"Da Qin Academy, such a high-end place, what are we rough guys who can only practice swords doing? We don't know how to debate scriptures." Ou Ming said with some embarrassment.

The people from the Great Qin Academy did send them invitations, saying that they were invited to go to the Qin Kingdom and join the Great Qin Academy. This did not mean that they should all go to the Qin Kingdom. They only needed to send people to the Qin Kingdom to join Shang Fang, but After their discussion, someone raised objections, so they did not go to Qin.

"Is the entire Tangxi Sword Alliance opposed to it?" Ziyou asked curiously. The Tangxi Sword Alliance is considered a considerable force, and there should be someone among them who can see the benefits.

"No, the Feng family and I were quite willing. Brother Jiang was out so he didn't participate in the vote. The Shen family, Xu family and Song family were all unwilling, so we gave up." Ou Ming said.

"This is interesting. Did the list of three thousand swords you mentioned before come from the south?" Ziyou said.

"That's right, he's from Chu. Is there any problem?" Ou Ming said.
