Chapter 85 First Snow
When Shi Cai led the way, he seemed to do it on purpose, actually lifting his true energy along the way and using the technique of leaping.
Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but smile when he saw this, because he had to take care of Su Xiaoxiao beside him, so he couldn't compete with him, so he said to Taoist Wuxin and Qingya: "Donkey breeders, little monks, you two
Don't worry about the three of us. If he wants to compete, you two can show him your skills."
Taoist Qingya followed Mu Qiuhuang calmly, and only replied with two words to his words: "boring".
Seeing that Taoist Qingya had no such intention, Mu Qiuhuang smiled helplessly, turned around and said to Wu Xin: "Young monk, go ahead! You must surpass him in body skills."
Hearing Wu Xin's words, he turned around and smiled at Mu Qiuhuang, waved his hand and said, "Amitabha, Buddhism pays great attention to the precept 'anger'."
Seeing them both looking like this, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help laughing, and said to them: "Look at you two, you don't have any competitive thoughts. If this fell into the eyes of Brother Shi just now,
I’m afraid I still think you two are inferior to him?”
Hearing this, Ji Ruoxue pinched his arm hard and explained in a low voice: "I've already explained to you, senior brother's character is like this. In fact, he doesn't have any bad intentions, so why do you deliberately provoke them...
?”
Mu Qiuhuang smiled coquettishly at Ji Ruoxue and quickly promised: "Okay! I promise you, as long as he doesn't deliberately provoke me, I will never take the initiative to cause trouble."
"Yes." Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang and continued: "After all, this is my former sect."
"Yes." Mu Qiuhuang nodded and agreed, but deliberately ignored the cracked stone in front of him that was about to disappear. Instead, he leisurely enjoyed the grand scene of "Walking in the Snow to Seek Plum Blossoms" along this sword-making hut.
However, the journey has to be completed. Even though Mu Qiuhuang deliberately delayed the journey, the group quickly crossed the path and arrived in front of Jianlu.
Looking at the magnificent houses in front of him, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but stick out his tongue and said, "Xiaoxiao thought the Zhujian Cottage was just a thatched cottage before? I didn't expect it to look like this?"
Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly when he heard this, and joked: "This is really what you think. You know, after all, he is also one of the four great sword immortals, with countless disciples. If there is really only one sword house? Is it possible for all these disciples to
Living in the snow? Why don’t they freeze to death?”
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. But Ji Ruoxue didn't know what she thought of? She suddenly pinched Mu Qiuhuang hard.
"What's wrong?" Mu Qiuhuang looked at Ji Ruoxue with an innocent face.
"Nothing? This lady is just happy to pinch you, what's wrong?" Ji Ruoxue looked confident.
When Mu Qiuhuang saw this, he also laughed, because he suddenly remembered that Ji Ruoxue once told him that when she ran away alone because of her engagement, she had lived in the snow. Thinking of this, Mu Qiuhuang also quickly smiled and said
: "Blame me, blame me. If you don't feel relieved, just pinch me again..."
"Why did you come up here?" Shi Lai, who was standing in front of Jianlu, asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Senior brother, don't blame me! We were just attached to the beautiful scenery along the way, so we were delayed a little." Ji Ruoxue quickly explained before Mu Qiuhuang could speak.
Hearing this, Shi Lai said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just a few broken plum blossoms? What's there to see? If you really like it? Why don't you go down the mountain to pick a few and take them away."
Listening to these words, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards Shi Crai. She thought to herself, could it be that he was really like Ji Ruoxue said, that it was just his personality before and there was no other meaning?
"Let's go! I'll take you to Jianlu." Shichi said and stepped forward.
Mu Qiuhuang noticed that he didn't even look at Su Xiaoxiao this time, and couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling slightly embarrassed, thinking that she had really wronged him just now, he didn't have anything against Su Xiaoxiao.
Unreasonable thinking.
Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang's appearance and said with a smile: "Look! What did I say? She is devoted to the sword, how can she be a lustful person like you."
"Ashamed
!Ashamed!" Mu Qiuhuang quickly apologized with a smile.
While talking, everyone also came to the back of the building complex. After arriving at the back, everyone found that the snow around them seemed to have stopped suddenly, and then there was a short mountain peak in front of them. The strange thing was that the top of the short mountain was actually bare, without a single person.
Every plant and tree survived. What was even more strange was that, apart from the absence of grass and trees, there were not even snowflakes on it, while the surrounding peaks were already covered with snow... As soon as Mu Qiuhuang and the others stepped into this place, they felt
There was a burst of warmth under my feet, but my whole body was even colder and colder than it had been in the snow just now.
"What a strange place?" Mu Qiuhuang muttered.
Hearing this, Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang and Su Xiaoxiao and said with a smile, "This is the 'Wonderland in the Snow' that you two have always wanted to see."
"Is this the fairyland in the snow? It doesn't look as magical as the rumors say." Su Xiaoxiao murmured.
Ji Ruoxue pointed to the small hill in front of her and explained with a smile: "Look over there, although the place where we are standing now is called Zhujian House, this hill is the real Zhujian House, which is the Dao
The place where the Sword Immortal used to forge swords, and the ground we are standing on now feels warm because of the ground fire below. Similarly... it is precisely because of the ground fire that the vegetation on this hill cannot
Survive, and the heat rises, the snowflakes will naturally melt when encountering the heat and cannot continue to fall. The reason why we feel colder now than just now? It is in response to the saying, "It doesn't get cold when it snows, it melts when it melts"
Cold common sense.”
"So that's it. Mistress, you are so knowledgeable!" Su Xiaoxiao praised with a smile.
Mu Qiuhuang also smiled slightly, gave Ji Ruoxue a thumbs up, and praised: "So you know so much."
When Ji Ruoxue heard this, she stuck out her tongue at Mu Qiuhuang and said sheepishly: "Actually, that's not the case! Because I didn't like practicing martial arts very much before, so..."
"Haha..." Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
"By the way? Brother Shi, Master Suwen has the most disciples among the Sword Immortals. How come we have never met anyone else along the way, except for you, Brother Shi?" Mu
Qiuhuang said a little puzzled.
Shi Chai glanced at Mu Qiuhuang and explained, "They are naturally busy practicing."
"Oh." Mu Qiuhuang thought for a while and continued: "It seems that Brother Shi is really the one who carries the cauldron among the younger generation of the Sword Making House, and he no longer needs to practice day and night like them?"
After hearing this, Shi Cai complained a little: "Isn't this because you are coming today? If Master hadn't asked me to come here to entertain you, I would be practicing swordplay elsewhere at the moment."
"So that's it?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but smile and said, "Ashamed, it turns out that it was us who delayed Brother Shi's practice."
"It's good to know!" Shi crack said.
"This..." Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but glance at Ji Ruoxue and the others, wondering why this stone crack looked even more "stunned" than Taoist Qingya before he came down the mountain?
Ji Ruoxue explained in a low voice: "Don't pay attention to him, his character is like this. Although he doesn't have any bad intentions, he always offends people with his words."
"It doesn't matter." Mu Qiuhuang smiled and shook his head, and said, "I like this kind of person. This kind of person is relatively pure and simple. If the world is full of such people? The world can also become simpler."
"By the way, can you tell me what kind of sword the Taoist Sword Immortal will forge for you?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but ask curiously.
Hearing this, Ji Ruoxue showed a smile in her eyes and said with a smile, "I don't know either?"
At this moment, a figure was seen approaching from far away, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of everyone.
"I've met Master." Shi Lai was the first to speak.
Mu Qiuhuang also saw Ou Yezi's true face at Ji Ruoxue's apprenticeship banquet, so she quickly tidied up her clothes and paid homage to Dao Sword Immortal at the same moment as Ji Ruoxue. Although Taoist Qingya and Wu Xin had never seen the true face of Dao Sword Immortal, they
From the reactions of several people, he understood it completely, so he also followed suit.
Ou Yezi waved his hands at them to indicate that there was no need to be polite, and then looked at Taoist Qingya and Wu Xin with his eyes.
Afterwards, he exclaimed: "The descendants are to be feared."
"Senior, why are you the only one coming out? Where is my master?" Ji Ruoxue asked Ou Yezi.
After all, he had been a registered disciple under Ou Yezi's name for several years. Although the master-disciple status is no longer there, Ji Ruoxue is naturally more familiar with Ou Yezi than the others.
"Your master went down the mountain after sending Han Tie." Ou Yezi replied.
"Going down the mountain?" Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but said a little disappointed: "Master, why didn't he say goodbye to me?"
"Perhaps he was reluctant to leave because he was afraid of seeing you in person?" Ou Yezi smiled, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ji Ruoxue, saying: "This is what your master asked me to give to you.
."
"Thank you, senior." Ji Ruoxue thanked her and took the letter.
Before Ji Ruoxue could open the envelope, she saw Ou Yezi taking a step forward, facing the sword-making house, and then after forming a complicated hand seal with his hands, he shouted: "Xueluo, the sword is made! Come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of blue light flew straight out from the sword-making house.
Ou Yezi smiled slightly when he saw this, stretched out his palm, and then saw green light falling straight on Ou Yezi's hand.
The moment the green light flew out, everyone's eyes were attracted to it. When it was flying in the air, they couldn't see it clearly. Now after it landed in Ou Yezi's hand, its true appearance was revealed.
Everyone stared at the sword intently. They saw that the sword and the hilt were integrated into one piece. The whole body was dark green. The sword was not wide, only two fingers wide, but it gave people an incomparable feeling.
A thick feeling... Ou Yezi threw the sword into the sky, and everyone's eyes followed the sword upwards. After a while, the sword fell back into Ou Yezi's hand. At this time, everyone noticed that there was condensation on the sword.
There was a thin layer of ice crystals, but strangely, the sword hilt was not affected at all.
Ou Yezi nodded with satisfaction and explained to everyone: "This sword is made of thousand-year-old cold iron. The sword is three feet, three inches long and weighs thirty-three kilograms and three taels. Because it is made of cold iron, the sword
The body itself emits a bone-piercing cold, and the wound of the person struck by the sword will be frozen, and because I have wrapped a piece of warm jade inside the sword hilt, the person holding the sword will not be affected."
"Is this sword so heavy?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but wonder when she looked at the sword. Although it looked thick, it wasn't as exaggerated as saying it weighed thirty-three kilograms or three taels.
When Ou Yezi heard this, he was too lazy to explain to him and threw the sword to Mu Qiuhuang.
Mu Qiuhuang took the sword smoothly. Although she was prepared before, she was still shocked by the weight of the sword. Mu Qiuhuang danced a little and heard the sound of the sword as clear and crisp as the cry of a phoenix.
"What a sword! It's really a good sword." Mu Qiuhuang praised: "Senior is truly a heavenly being!"
Ou Yezi smiled slightly and said: "A sword is like a close friend, so let's give it a name!"
Mu Qiuhuang nodded, turned around, and handed the sword to Ji Ruoxue. Just looking at her thin body, she couldn't help but worry that the sword was so heavy. Would she be able to dance?
When Ji Ruoxue saw this, she looked at him with a smile, but did not take the sword. Instead, she raised the sword in her hand and gestured at Mu Qiuhuang, and said: "This sword of mine came from the Sword Making House. I will return it when it's over."
With the dagger your master gave me, what other weapon do I need? Besides, haven’t you always wanted to find a good sword?”
When Mu Qiuhuang heard this, she couldn't help but feel very grateful, but she still shook her head and said, "This sword is too precious, so you should keep it!"
Ji Ruoxue shook her head and cursed: "You are so stupid. I am a girl. How can I use it? I asked my senior to forge this sword specially for you. Besides, won't I still have your protection in the future?"
?”
After hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang understood Ji Ruoxue's intention, so she no longer refused.
"Hurry up and give it a name!" Ji Ruoxue urged.
"Hmm." Mu Qiuhuang thought for a while and then said: "This sword is born in response to snow, and it has the characteristics of ice and snow. What's more important is that this sword was given to me by you, Xue'er... Why don't you just give it to me?"
