Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 517 Thunder
  King Qi Jian gave Gu Xun a temporary residence in the kitchen.

Gu Xunzheng was sitting alone at the table making dumplings.

During the last Chinese New Year, Jing Salamander was willing to help him even though he didn't know how to do it. This time it was Yan Lingji, but she didn't have the same treatment.

She crossed her round and white calves and sat lazily on the chair opposite Gu Xun. She watched boredly as Gu Xun mechanically repeated the action of making dumplings without any intention of helping.

In fact, she didn't even know what Gu Xun was doing. She could only judge based on the fact that the things on the table were ingredients. The shopkeeper was... cooking?
  This is strange.

"Shopkeeper, what are you doing?"

Gu Xun didn't even raise his eyelids and replied calmly, "Make dumplings."

"...So what are dumplings?" Yan Lingji made Gu Xun's answer stop in anger. What's the point of telling me a noun I've never heard of before?
  "Obviously, it's a kind of food." Gu Xun put down the dumplings he had just made, raised his head slightly, and said with a smile, "This is... a custom in my hometown, a kind of food eaten during the Chinese New Year. "

Relying on a woman's sensitive sixth sense, Yan Lingji noticed that Gu Xun's tone was slightly hesitant when he mentioned his hometown, and his eyes suddenly rolled. After thinking for a while, he decided to ask:

"Shopkeeper, where are you from?"

When Gu Xun was asked about this, he didn't feel sad. After all, he was already used to it. He just pondered for a moment and replied vaguely, "Where are they from? Well...it's hard to say. Anyway, it's a place you can't go to."

"Can't you go?" Yan Lingji became even more curious, "Don't you want to go back to your hometown? Why can't I go back if I follow you?"

"It's simple, because I can't go back." Gu Xun spread his hands.

"Uh..." Yan Lingji was froze by this answer, her mind turned around, and she gave up asking why Gu Xun couldn't go back - it was definitely not a reason worth remembering, so it was better not to mention it.

Gu Xun didn't care at all, and asked Yan Lingji with a smile, "Why don't you speak?"

"It's nothing..." Yan Lingji combed her long hair with her right hand in a very seductive manner, "I'm just surprised that there is something you can't do."

"Haha, I'm just a martial artist. There are many things I can't do." Gu Xun laughed and said with a bit of self-deprecation, "For example... uh..." After thinking about it for a while, Gu Xun gave up on lifting the baby. The child is a bad example, "For example, there are many things..."

Yan Lingji couldn't help but give Gu Xun a blank look, "Why don't you just leave it alone?"
  At this time, there was some noise outside, but Gu Xun did not make any move and continued to wrap dumplings. Seeing him like this, Yan Lingji followed suit and slumped down on the chair peacefully.

Soon, Chen He, who was inexplicably obsessed with wearing silver armor, walked in with some snowflakes on his body - it was snowing lightly today.

"Sir." The warm room made the snowflakes begin to melt and drip onto the floor tiles along with the nails. Chen He ignored Yan Lingji as usual and said hello to Gu Xun.

He was aware of Gu Xun's habit of eating dumplings, so he was not surprised or asked any questions. Similarly, it was also because he knew that Gu Xun would gather with relatives and friends at the turn of the old and the new, so he came here specifically at this time - currently in Qi State, Mr. The only friend I have is myself.

Gu Xun waved casually and asked Chen He to sit down, not in a hurry to talk to him.

Because the dumplings are about to be wrapped.

At present, there are only three people including Chen He, so Gu Xun didn't pack much, just one or two hundred. With his current hand speed, it only takes one stick of incense to finish it. Because there were only three of us, Gu Xun chose to keep everything simple. He didn’t plan to prepare a large table of dishes, so he just ate some dumplings to keep them warm.

It was not yet evening, so Gu Xun put away the dumplings, and went out of the kitchen with Chen He to the main room.

As for Yan Lingji, she likes to stay in the kitchen when it snows, because there is a stove where you can light a fire. It is not for keeping warm, it is just her personal hobby. She likes to guard the fire, even though she clearly knows You can start a fire out of thin air...

On the other hand, Gu Xun took Chen He to the main room to talk about something serious, none other than Ben Lei Sword.

Although he already had enough money, Gu Xun felt that the Chinese New Year was approaching anyway, so it would be better to give it to Chen He on this day, which would be regarded as a New Year's gift... Even if something didn't feel right...

As soon as he entered the room, Chen He's attention was immediately attracted by a shining golden light.

Looking up, I saw a golden sword with a scabbard placed on the table. The hilt was narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. It was arranged with dark gold and bright gold interlaced criss-cross patterns. The shape of the sword grid resembled a flame. The light curves upward and wraps around the tail of the sword blade. The scabbard is orange-yellow as a whole, with zigzag edges glowing with golden light, and a golden thunder and lightning rune engraved in the center.

Although the sword was not unsheathed, Chen He could already feel a brilliant power, like thunder running through the sky, and its power was like a dragon, unstoppable.

Gu Xun walked over, picked up the Ben Lei Sword, and threw it to Chen He.

Chen He raised his hand to take it. Even though he was well prepared, he still felt his hand sinking and being pushed down by the sword.

Gu Xun's voice then came, "Ben Lei Sword, one of the seven swords. The sword is three feet three inches long and weighs fifty-four kilograms. It was born in the ancient tomb cemetery. The sword energy is devastating. Once it is taken out of the sheath, it is like a bolt from the blue. , the momentum is amazing.”

Fifty-four kilograms... Chen He couldn't help but be a little stunned at the weight. It was heavier than most long weapons.

Chen He mobilized his inner strength, raised the Thunder Sword, held the handle with one hand and the sheath with the other, and pulled it out with all his strength...

Haha~~~Pah!
  The sound of the sword sounded, and then there was a thunderous explosion, which suddenly rang in Chen He's ears.

Along with the sound, the Thunder Sword was completely pulled out, and the bluish-white blade was wrapped with a trace of electric light, revealed in front of its new owner.

The blade of the Ben Lei Sword is slightly wider, and there is a depression near the tip of the sword, making the tip of the sword look like a rhombus. The sword body is blue and white, while the blade is bright silver, and the center of the sword body is also like a scabbard. Engraved with a lightning-shaped silver rune, it emerged from the sword grid and spread to the depression at the tail of the sword.

Chen He casually held his arms in a sword flower, but felt that his arms were a little heavy and his movements were unnatural.

Gu Xun also noticed this slight unnaturalness and said:
  "For you now, the weight of the Thunder Sword is still a big burden. It will be fine in the future."

"Yes." Chen He nodded to express his understanding, then raised the Thunder Sword to his eyes, carefully looked at this magic weapon that would always accompany him in the future, and couldn't help but murmured, "The Thunder Sword... Mr. Guoru What he said is that his momentum is extraordinary and he is the first to win over others.”

"Haha." Gu Xun smiled and sat on a chair nearby and echoed, "The Thunder Sword is the most eye-catching sword among the seven swords. Once it is unsheathed, it is a thunderbolt. It is brilliant and unstoppable. The sword's light is like thunder. , sweeping everything."
