Chapter 398 Destiny and darkness
The so-called tools are the training equipment that 11 thought up by himself. Before going down the mountain this time, he asked Lu Xiangyuan to bring these things with him.Lu Xiangyuan didn't say much, and immediately went back to the house, took a lambskin bag and hung it around his waist, and followed 11 in a hurry, and the two left the village all the way.

Walking to the foot of an open mountain, 11 first looked around and said, "Let's just go here."

Lu Xiangyuan asked, "Chu Yuan, what kind of training do you want to do today?"

"Yes." Eleven left Lu Xiangyuan, walked about 11 meters forward, stood still, and turned to face him.Then he took out a black cloth from his pocket and covered his eyes.Then he slowly pulled out a jet-black curved-toothed dagger, held it backwards in his hand, and first tried the angle suitable for slashing.This dagger is the small scimitar that just came out of the oven. The body of the sword including the keel is made of extremely tough Ujin. Ujin is a metal with high toughness and plasticity. It is not easy to break out of the gap when it is used to make swords. It should be said that it is extremely difficult to break, and it is the sword casting material that swordsmiths dream of.It's a pity that this kind of metal is very rare, and it is usually only added as an accessory at most, and it is rare to see a sword made entirely of black gold.Melting in black iron and other accessories, its hardness has reached an extremely high level.The hilt is carved from golden nanmu. The material of golden nanmu is hard, with good anti-corrosion and conductivity. It is also the best choice to make a sword hilt. At least it is not easy to hurt the palm of the tiger's mouth when cutting with other metals.But 50 thinks that the golden nanmu is too dazzling, and it can be covered with a layer of black tape on the outside.Now the whole dagger is black all over, it looks ordinary, even if it is used as an ornament, it will be an eyesore, and I am afraid that only when it falls into the hands of real swordsmiths will they know its preciousness.

He really liked the dagger that 11 personally tailored for him.The blade is slightly curved, suitable for cutting, chopping, and chopping, and the bending angle is also the limit of the strength and angle that he can exert with his arm, and the deviation is so fine that it is impeccable before carving the mold.Although Shi Dali deformed a little in the process of repeated tempering later, this is inevitable, and there is no deviation too much. This already shows that Shi Dali's fire experience has reached the peak. If it is really tempered by 11 himself, I am afraid it will only The deformation is even more severe.After all, blacksmithing is not an easy science. When should be heavy, when should be light, when should the fire be fierce, and when should the fire be slow, this point must not be sloppy at all, as long as there is a small error, it is impossible to cast a An ideal sword.

The reason why 11 likes this dagger is not only because of its weight or its sharpness, or its dullness, or its curvature.What he really likes is the feeling of holding the dagger in the palm of his hand, as if the flesh and blood are connected, as if the knife is a part of his body, he even feels that his thoughts can reach every part of the knife.

No wonder Jianzong repeatedly asked his disciples to forge their own swords, because everyone has different personalities and preferences, and the person who knows what they need best in this world is probably only himself.Only a sword that is personally designed and made for oneself will have the feeling of being connected by flesh and blood, perhaps it is the sense of belonging that Shi Dali and Lu Xuan said.At least this feeling, Tian Zhan never gave him.Although 11 likes Tianzhan very much, after all, Tianzhan was not tailor-made for him, so in use, it lacks the so-called feeling of matching people and swords, and the sword goes with people.

TV novels often say that people and swords are one, maybe their weapons are forged by those who master them.Eleven has already experienced this point.

The dagger seemed to be already a part of his body, a continuation of his fingers.

Standing there quietly, 11 calmly said: "Let's get started."

Lu Xiangyuan glanced at the dagger in 11's hand, sighed, opened the sheepskin bag, and took out several broken small blades from it.

This is the training program 11 set for himself, blindfolded to avoid flying knives.

It was not long after Lu Xiangyuan followed him, one day 11 suddenly had the idea to try the power of the moon dance.So Lu Xiangyuan was asked to throw pebbles at him, while he was blindfolded, using his body's perception of the outside world, to dodge the pebbles with moon dance steps.But this kind of training only took about ten minutes, and 11 felt that the area of ​​the stone was too large, and the sound after throwing it was too loud.Moreover, the stone has no power and cannot cause pressure on him.Yu Shang asked Lu Xiangyuan to go down the mountain overnight, and asked Shi Dali to buy a bunch of scrap swords that hadn't been melted down, and used them as throwing knives for training.

This kind of desperate training method really made Lu Xiangyuan tremble with fear, and he didn't dare to use too much force, lest he hurt 11, it would be a serious crime.But 11 didn't care so much, after a few words of training, Lu Xiangyuan's temper also came up, and he took these small blades and threw them violently with his eyes closed.

In the previous few training sessions, 11 was not so easy to dodge. After all, Lu Xiangyuan practiced martial arts since he was a child, and the speed and strength of the things he threw with his wrist were not comparable to the speed balls he trained in the past. Often the blades appeared as soon as he lifted his hand In front of 11.This was because Lu Xiangyuan deliberately suppressed the strength on the premise that he didn't dare to hurt 11, otherwise the speed would be faster.

But even so, 11 was still injured every time he trained. Although it was only a superficial injury, Lu Xiangyuan still looked at him and cried out his guilt and insisted not to accompany 11, a lunatic, to go crazy. Continue to throw throwing knives.

Strange to say, every time 11 was injured, when he took off his clothes to go to the waterfall the next day, his body was completely intact, his skin was as smooth as new, and no scars could be seen.Regarding Lu Xiangyuan's doubts, 11 just threw out a bottle of muscle-promoting ointment brought from Lu Guan. After Lu Xiangyuan tried it once, he stopped talking. Who in this village doesn't know how miraculous Lu Guan's medicine is.Only 11 himself knew that the injuries on his body were not caused by these ointments at all, and he had never used this bottle of muscle-promoting ointment even once.

This kind of lifeless training day after day, at the beginning Lu Xiangyuan was still trembling and controlled the strength, but later he gradually got used to it, seeing that 11 was in good condition every time, at most only scratched the skin, he gradually gave up initial concerns.But not long after, this kind of training was known to Old Man Huang and Ma Dong. They took turns admonishing 11 not to do this kind of life-threatening training. After all, 11 still went his own way, and they felt helpless after a long time.It's just that Lu Xiangyuan is poor. There is not a day that he is not scolded by his grandfather Lu Wanggong. Every day he swears that he will never dare again, but the next day he is still involuntarily "tempted" by 11 to be a training partner.Of course, when I came back at night, I still couldn’t avoid being scolded, and then I swore to God that I didn’t dare, and the next day...

Lu Xiangyuan weighed the blade and said, "Be careful."

11 didn't respond, just stood there calmly holding the dagger in his backhand.

Lu Xiangyuan took a deep breath, and suddenly swung his backhand, and the three blades flew towards 11 at the same time.I saw 11 shaking left and right, and easily dodged the three blades.But at this moment, three more blades followed closely behind, two on the left and right attacked his shoulders, preventing him from dodging left and right, and the other directly attacked 11's chest.After 11 days, Lu Xiangyuan didn't learn much other skills, but the ability to control throwing knives became more and more proficient.Of course, there are also 11 credits. 11 thought his technique was too clumsy, so he passed on his own experience of throwing knives, and Lu Xiangyuan also benefited a lot from it.

At this time, 11 suddenly turned around, stumbled to the side as if drunk, and escaped easily from the gap between the three throwing knives.

Lu Xiangyuan seemed to have known that these two hands would not be able to trap 11, so he flicked his backhand, and four more throwing knives shot out.At the same time, shake the left hand again, and add two more.At the same time, several blades had already been grasped in the heart of his right hand, and he shot out again with a flick of his palm.In the eyes of others, Lu Xiangyuan's two hands never stopped at all, and the left and right hands kept reaching in and out of the sheepskin bag, and the speed was breathtaking.Even so, 11 was still not satisfied with Lu Xiangyuan's speed.Think about the masters who used hidden weapons in the Dragon Soul that they had encountered before. Their speed of attack was several times faster than that of Lu Xiangyuan. Compared with those masters, Lu Xiangyuan's speed was already crawling like a snail.

Lu Xiangyuan shot the throwing knives one after another without stopping.Within a distance of 11 meters between him and 50, a silvery trickle appeared.If someone took a picture of this scene with a camera at this time, and then developed it into a photo, they would find that this silver trickle was actually composed of countless broken blades.

After dodging a few times, 11 has given up completely dodging, holding the dagger in his hand, stepping on the footwork of the moon dance, moving his body quickly from left to right, and the right hand holding the knife is also at the same time with the naked eye. Waving at a speed that is hard to see.

At this moment, it was difficult to see clearly the speed at which 11's arms were swung, only the non-stop sound of "ding ding" metal collisions sounded in the arena.This is the new training program 11 set for himself today. Instead of blocking the knife, he will actively face the flying knife.He wanted to shoot down all these throwing knives without letting any one go.

In fact, he really did it. Although occasionally a few throwing knives missed, he always stepped in front of the trajectory of the flying knives with the moon dance step, knocked them down quickly, and then returned to the original position with a sway of his body. bit.

As the sound of "ding ding" in the field continued to sound, strands of sparks burst out in front of the dancing figure.The blades were shot down to the ground one by one, but none of them were missed.

People were dancing and swords were being swung, but none of the silver streams that kept shooting out could hit 11, and at the same time, none of them could escape the dagger in his hand.

The ghostly pace makes 11 look like a wandering ghost. He is still standing here at this moment, but he ran to the side in the blink of an eye, and in the eyes of others, he is just nothing. It's just a step or two.This is the agility that matches Yujianjue, which was later stripped out of the sword moves by Lu Yang's generation of martial arts masters after hard thinking and meditation. It has a beautiful name, Moon Dance.

People are moving, swords are dancing.From left to right, from high to low, it is difficult for people to guess where it will go next, and it is also difficult for people to guess the sword, and from which angle it will stab out next time.

Suddenly, the voices in the field stopped abruptly. It turned out that Lu Xiangyuan had shot empty of a bag with a blade. 11 still stood calmly in the front position, as if he had never moved.Only the broken blades that were shot down densely all over the ground, lying in disorder or stuck in the mud ground, witnessed the fierce scene just now.

My God, someone could completely block those dozens of blades thrown by a martial artist with all his strength without seeing them, and none of them were injured.Even if Lu Xiangyuan's skills are not good enough, after all, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his wrist strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people.With Lu Xiangyuan as a training partner, the effect is far better than just training speedball.If Leng Ye or the monkey came over to take the position of 11 at this time, I am afraid that the whole body would have been nailed into a hedgehog in a few strokes.

Perhaps even 11 himself didn't know that the terrifying speed of his progress had far exceeded Lu Yang and Old Man Huang's expectations.If he faced the battle spirit again now, coupled with the newly forged dagger in his hand, he might not have the strength to fight.

And Eleven didn't realize that, in just two or three months, he had once again set foot on another peak of martial arts.

Lu Xiangyuan patted the sheepskin bag and said, "Boss, after shooting, are you still here?"

"continue."

"Oh." Lu Xiangyuan ran to pick up the blades that were strewn all over the floor and shot again, but in the process of picking up, he found that except for the few blades that 11 dodged at the beginning, all the blades had collapsed. small notch.He looked at the jet-black dagger in 11's hand in surprise, and it was still as new as before, without even a broken tooth.

"Good knife." Lu Xiangyuan praised in his heart, picked up all the blades, ran back 50 meters away, and threw the throwing knife again.After the ejaculation, he picked it up again and then ejaculated again. After repeating this three times, it took more than an hour. He already felt numb in both arms, and he shook his hands and said, "That's it for today?"

11 took off the black cloth covering his eyes, and looked at the dagger in his hand. The dagger was not broken in the fierce collision just now, and it still looks like new at this time.Look at the blades all over the floor, there are two to three gaps on each of them.He put the dagger away very satisfied and said, "Yes."

Lu Xiangyuan sighed and said, "You are such a monster."

11 is indeed a monster, especially the speed at which he improves really makes Lu Xiangyuan extremely jealous.From the beginning of the training, 11 would be bruised, to the time when Lu Xiangyuan threw him with all his strength, he could easily dodge it, and the interval was less than a week.After that, Lu Xiangyuan's throwing knife never hurt 11 cents again.But 11 began to think that Lu Xiangyuan had no strength, as if he would not be happy if he was not injured one day, so Lu Xiangyuan always regarded 11 as a monster, a desperate lunatic.Because he always does some behaviors that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. Zhuang remained silent.Later, Lu Xiangyuan also lifted that big rock in private, but it was extremely difficult for him to even lift it over his head, let alone hold the pile of squatting and standing for three hours with a calm expression.God, just thinking about it made him sweat.And these were not requested by Old Man Huang and the others, but added by 11 himself. He is simply a lunatic who doesn't know how to enjoy himself.Not too long ago, 11 thought the boulder was not heavy enough, so he replaced it with a bigger and heavier one, and after a while, he replaced it with a bigger one... Lu Xiangyuan was suspicious, so Give him some more time, will 11 directly raise a house to stand up?
After packing up and going back, Lu Xiangyuan asked unintentionally, "Chu Yuan, what's the name of your knife?"

"Name?" Eleven gave him a strange look and said, "Dagger."

"Er, I know it's a dagger, but it has to have a name?"

"Why?" Speaking of which, 11 really doesn't understand why these warriors always like to name their swords?This was true for Tian Zhan in the past, and it was the same for Lu Changming's Sirius, Lu Guan's pole, Lu Xuan's cotton needle, and Shi Dali's Po Tian.In his opinion, a knife is a knife, a tool for killing people, so why does it have to have a loud or catchy name?A knife is for chopping, for killing, not for screaming.

Lu Xiangyuan scratched his head and said, "Why? Hey, this me..." Lu Xiangyuan was really overwhelmed by the question. He grew up in Jianzong, and subconsciously believed that it was normal to name swords.It's like when a child is born, it needs to be named.As for why he chose the name, he really didn't know, because neither grandpa nor father had ever told him about it.

Lu Xiangyuan had a bitter face along the way, and followed 11 back to the sword casting furnace very depressed, and then told Shi Dali about it.

After Shi Dali heard about it, he looked at the two men with a straight face, and asked 11, "What's your name?"

11 glanced at him, and said flatly, "Chu Yuan."

"Why are you called Chu Yuan?"

"I took it myself."

"Pfft!" Liao Jiahe, who was drinking water, couldn't help spraying the tea in his mouth out of his nostrils.

"Eh?" Shi Dali asked awkwardly, "Then what was your previous name?"

11 asked rhetorically, "Is it very important?"

Shi Dali sighed and said: "It's important, of course it's important. Everyone's name is given by their parents at birth, and the name will be with him for the rest of his life, even after he dies, it will be engraved on the tombstone. Said, swords are also our children. We love swords as we love our own children, because we have poured too much affection into them. Of course we must give them a nice name for our children. We Jianzong, every Everyone is a swordsmith, so they have to choose a name for their 'children', which is the name of the sword."

11 said flatly, "But I didn't make it."

"But you designed it, and you finished it in the end, didn't you? I just built it for you." After a pause, Shi Dali asked, "When you hold it, do you feel it? Like a part of your own body?"

11 nodded without hesitation.

"That's it, because you designed it for yourself, and it can exert its greatest power only in your hands, and it can't be replaced by anyone else. Because the sword belongs only to you."

The sword belongs only to you?

11 looked at Shi Dali with a flat face, and Shi Dali was also looking at him seriously.

After a long while, 11 suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

Shi Dali gave a rare smile, and said: "It is your sword, only you can name it, no one else has the right to do so."

Without even thinking about it, 11 blurted out, "Poison Fang."

"Pfft!" Liao Jiahe spat out another mouthful of tea from his nostrils.

Shi Dali smiled and said, "Just as long as you like it."

In fact, 11 doesn't matter, anyway, in his opinion, naming the sword is really boring.The poisonous fang was just something he came up with, because the shape of the dagger really resembled the fang of a poisonous snake.Besides, he originally wanted to smear the sword with poison.

"It doesn't sound good." Lu Xiangyuan shook his head and said, "Poison Fang sounds too sinister."

11 looked at him and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a name."

"No." Lu Xiangyuan still insisted: "The name is very important. Look, which of the famous ancient swords has such a poisonous name? Boss, change it. Or when you go out to fight for justice in the mountains? , people call you 'Poison Fang Chu Yuan', hey, it's hard to think about it."

What Lu Xiangyuan said was funny, 11 will be a chivalrous man?It would be good for others not to rely on his righteousness.He can only kill people in this life, how can he save people?

When Lu Xiangyuan mentioned the famous ancient sword, 11 also thought of his Sky Slash.If Tianzhan is still in his hands now, think about holding Tianzhan in one hand, poisonous fang in the other, and stepping on the moon dance step, how many people can stop his continuous killing moves?
Uh, Tian Zhan, Yue Wu, if these two beautiful names are paired with fangs, it would be a bit of a disaster.Although 11 didn't care at all, maybe in his dictionary, the word landscape didn't exist at all.

However, under Lu Xiangyuan's insistence, 11 finally changed his name to Zhanyue.Tian Zhan is paired with Moon Dance, and there is a Moon Zhan Scimitar in the middle.In fact, 11 said the name casually, just took one word from Tian Zhan and Yue Wu, he was really too lazy to do so many boring things.If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Xiangyuan had been working as his training partner all the time, he wouldn't bother to talk to him at all and just call Fang Fang.

For Zhanyue, Lu Xiangyuan is satisfied, no matter how you say it, it sounds much better than Fangfang.Finally decided on the name for this dagger, Zhanyue.

But now in this sword-forging furnace, four people including 11 don't know that in the near future, Zhanyue will become a horrifying name in the dark world.

The moon rises, and the god of death appears. 11 If you want to die at the third watch, you will never be kept at the fifth watch.
