in the edge

Chapter 82
Inside Ziyang Mountain, in the mountain chief's abode.

On the case, there was the long knife that broke the horse. Just like Liu Bolun, after seeing the long knife, the old man named Ruan Shantao remembered for a while, the experience of sharpening the long knife, and then he thought about it. Knife under the death notice.

"If that Liu Qingyun brought this knife, he sharpened it for himself, and at least the old man would charge him a few hundred guan to subsidize the students."

Having said that, Ruan Shantao cupped his hands at Du Chengfeng.

"But the strong man came all the way from Jibei, and this knife is probably stained with the blood of a lot of barbarians. For such a brave move, the old man will not accept your money... Please go back, strong man, this knife It's dead, and there's really no way to fix it."

"This……"

Hearing what the old man said, Du Chengfeng also knew that he was at the gate of the mountain. Why was he stopped to collect money?

But after thinking about it, Du Chengfeng still took out his own, thick and heavy knife.

"A person may not be resurrected after death, but a knife can."

Saying this, Du Chengfeng pushed the thick sword over.

The example of having a thick and heavy knife was placed before him. He didn't believe that if the long knife broke the horse, there was really no way to repair it.

However, unlike the drunk Liu Bolun, the old man named Ruan Shantao did not even touch the thick sword.

"Don't touch it either."

Seeing that Liu Bolun was about to reach out to touch the knife, the old man waved his ruler and slapped Liu Bolun's hand back.

"It's not something you can touch."

"I'm also a grinder, why can't I touch it?"

Liu Bolun was quite puzzled, and even Du Chengfeng looked puzzled—you must know that Liu Bolun was also the former ordnance chief of Yanzhou, and naturally he often came into contact with fierce weapons on weekdays. He has touched so many guys in the arsenal. Why is this thick and heavy knife untouchable?
"Haven't you guys heard of it?"

Seeing that both Liu Bolun and Du Chengfeng were confused, the old man couldn't help being stunned.

"Forget it, then the old man will explain the reason behind it."

So, clearing his throat, the old man named Ruan Shantao sat down and began to explain the reason for Du Chengfeng and Liu Bolun.

The story happened a long time ago, a time even further away than the capital of Chu.At that time, there were many countries in the world, and they were constantly fighting against each other. Warfare naturally required weapons, so all the countries also rushed to study their own weapons and equipment - and among them, naturally, the later Great Chu, That is to say, the Chu State at that time had the sharpest sword-making skills.

So the King of Chu at that time found a couple who were known as the top swordsmiths and made swords for them.

The craftsmanship of that couple was indeed extremely high. On the day the sword was completed, there would be storms and thunder, and sweet rain would fall from the sky. After the King of Chu took the sword, he flicked it with his fingers, and the sword buzzed, which was like the sound of the phoenix crowing in the sky. .

There is no doubt that this is indeed a peerless sword, a rare sword worthy of the status of the King of Chu.

Therefore, in order to monopolize this rare treasure, the King of Chu raised his hand, but directly beheaded the husband of the pair of swordsmiths.

If the swordsmith was left alive, these rare swords might still be forged for kings of other countries, but if the swordsmith was killed, then these swords would only be left to the Chu Kingdom.

But the viciousness of King Chu had already been seen by the swordsmith and his wife.

The agreement made must be fulfilled, but the king of Chu may do something to cut the weeds and roots, so this time, only the husband of the pair of swordsmiths came to present the sword, but the wife of the pair of swordsmiths He had already taken his children to hide in the mountains and hid.

After several rounds of search and arrest failed, the King of Chu didn't care about it anymore. After all, as the king of a country, he still had more things to do.

But the mother and son who were hiding in the mountains never forgot this hatred.

More than ten years have passed, and the child has grown into a tall and straight boy, and he has also started to learn the art of sword-making from his mother. He only hopes that one day he will be able to kill the king of Chu to avenge his father's death—but no matter what No matter how hard the child studied, he could never forge something comparable to the old Chu King Sword.

Come to think of it, in the past, when the King of Chu made swords, he used the entire power of the Chu State to gather the iron essence of the five mountains and the gold and silver of the Liuhe. He waited for the heaven and the earth, and the yin and the yang shined together. From the materials to the technology to the sword-making scene, it was all First class.

But now they, mother and son, are living in seclusion in the mountains, harvesting bad ores and burning miscellaneous charcoal. In order to prevent the King of Chu's pursuers from chasing them along the smoke, even practicing sword-making has to wait until the dark midnight. .

How could a sword cast under such rough conditions be able to compete with the King Chu sword?
What's more, in the past ten years, the king of Chu fought everywhere with a sword in his hand, but the sword has already stained an unknown number of lives.

And this mother and son who live in seclusion in the mountains are all good people, so how could they do such a thing of killing and murdering for their own personal enmity.

"But if they don't kill people... they will definitely not be able to defeat the King of Chu, right?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help scratching his head, he was thinking about what happened when he was in Jizhou.

When he was in Jizhou, if the grassland people from the Qingyang tribe hadn't stood up to fight him, he might not have been able to defeat He Xiqing who had killed many people and even turned into an inhuman posture.

Killing people is the fastest way to become stronger. This is Du Chengfeng's first and most important cognition of this world.

"Don't worry, just listen to the old man."

The old man named Ruan Shantao raised his hand to signal Du Chengfeng to be calm, but he continued.

Facing the extremely tyrannical king of Chu and the extremely crude conditions at present, there is no way for the mother and child to change.As the days passed, the mother and son still made no progress in making swords, but after the king of Chu got the rare sharp blade, he fought more and more courageously and made outstanding achievements repeatedly.

One ebbs and another, this enmity seems to be impossible to avenge.

It was at this time that the swordsmith's wife and the young man's mother made a decision.

So, the next morning, the young man discovered that his biological mother had disappeared at some point.

Only one sword remained in the furnace, and a suicide note.

After reading the suicide note, the young man realized that his mother risked her life when she saw that revenge was impossible, and she jumped into the furnace to forge a sword with her body, which became the only sword weapon.

And this is his only way to avenge his father.

With both his parents dead, the young man had no worries in the world. He simply took his sword and went looking for the King of Chu, preparing to kill him to avenge his father.

But how could this wild weapon in the mountains be able to match the sharp blade forged by the power of the entire Chu state? The young man's sword was cut into holes in a short time, and he was about to be beheaded by the king of Chu with a sword.

However, when the two sharp blades collided again, it was King Chu's sword that broke.

The sharp knives crossed each other, and the one whose head was beheaded was the vicious King Chu.

"It was a father's hatred that broke that King Chu sword. As a father, how could he be willing to kill his own child?"

Speaking of this, Ruan Shantao couldn't help sighing.

"The one who protects the child is the love of a mother. As a mother, why would I want to see the child's head decapitated?"

Saying this, Ruan Shantao pointed to the two swords on the table.

"This broken horse has killed a lot, and the resentment is too heavy. Naturally, it will not survive... But what about this knife."

Ruan Shantao paused slightly.

"I don't know what the strong man experienced in Jibei, but it is obvious that this sword is similar to the sword of revenge in that story."

"Many creatures you have killed, they all want you to die, but for this saber... there is a warrior who died with this saber. He risked his life and wanted you to live."

Speaking of this, Ruan Shantao looked at Liu Bolun.

"That's why, the old man forbids you to touch this saber."

"It doesn't matter if this strong man holds this divine weapon, they are fighting side by side, and they are united in spirit."

"If you, an outsider, touch it, you will be disrespectful to this warrior who sacrificed his life to sacrifice his sword."
