Chapter 273 Asceticism

Ten days passed quickly, and Jiuli Village ushered in a full moon night. According to Kan Cangyue's advice, Jiang Hanye began to fast three days ago. That morning, under her leadership, Jiang Hanye came to an inconspicuous small house in the village ancestral hall.

At first glance, this house is as simple as a firewood hut and has a small area. At the beginning, Jiang Hanye almost doubted whether Kan Cangyue was wrong.

"Is this it?" Jiang Hanye stared at the room and asked.

"What? Does the formation have to be in the palace? Kan Cangyue asked.

"That's not true. I was just a little surprised. I thought it would be Shilin or something." Jiang Hanye laughed.

Jiang Hanye's smile is a little brighter than that of the morning sun, at least in Kan Cangyue's eyes.

"Don't underestimate this room. I don't know how many people will not be able to enter it all their lives. I mean our people." Kan Cangyue said indifferently, "Well, it's almost time. You can go in. I'll wait for you outside. There is also a pheasant at home. I'll give you a tooth sacrifice later."

Home, when this word came out of Kan Cangyue's mouth, Jiang Hanye felt so warm. He had not had a home for too long, and even this word had already faded in his heart. It was not until this moment that he knew that he was so eager to have a family.

"When everything is over, I'll come here to find you." Jiang Hanye inexplicably said such a sentence to Kan Cangyue.

"What?" Kan Cangyue was stunned.

"Nothing, I'm in." Jiang Hanye smiled, opened the door and walked in.

"I'll wait for you." Kan Cangyue Road.

Jiang Hanye did not look back. He stopped for a moment, and then disappeared into the door.

The door was empty and dark. When he entered, Kan Cangyue helped him close the door.

"You can't come out without completion. You only have two choices, success or failure." This is what Kan Cangyue said.

As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Hanye found that the ground seemed to be a little abnormal. A circle was gradually coming out of the ground, which was bright blue, like the color of the sky. The blue light is about an inch thick, surrounding a circle with a diameter of about four feet. When the ring is completely closed, several other straight rays of light come out, which form a five-pointed star shape close to the inside of the ring.

"Is this the five elements of Tianang?" Jiang Hanye stood outside the circle and said secretly.

He didn't have much time to think, because the middle blank of the five-pointed star seemed to have a great attraction, which forcibly sucked him over. When Jiang Hanye understood, he was already in the five elements array.

The whole space changed in front of Jiang Hanye in an instant. The five-line array was originally only a few feet square, but now it has become larger than that room. The whole space, except for these five elements array, is almost all black, the dark sky, the dark land and the dark void. There was no movement around.

"This is..." Before Jiang Hanye could think about anything, suddenly a white light flashed in front of him, and a figure appeared opposite him, standing face to face in the corner of the pentagon. At first, he didn't care much and thought it was just an illusion set by the formation, but when he saw the appearance of the man opposite him, he couldn't help but be shocked. That man was none other than Ji Shangxuan.

Ji Shangxuan is dressed in a white robe and his clothes are floating. He still looks like a Taoist fairy, but his eyes are different from before. Ji Shangxuan's eyes became very horrible, and his eyes disappeared. Instead, they were replaced by two dazzling white rays. His eyes glowed strongly and he stared at Jiang Hanye.

Jiang Hanye frowned and had a complicated feeling in his heart for Ji Shangxuan until now. Ji Shangxuan is not only his mentor, but also his most hated enemy in his life. Such a complex feeling troubled him. With the passage of time, this feeling is slowly fading, but it is not forgotten, but hidden somewhere in his heart and ready to come out.

Ji Shangxuan stared at Jiang Hanye with his hands on his back, holding the sword - Kunyu Sword behind his back.

"This is how this method is tested." Although it is not very clear at present, Jiang Hanye has a vague outline in his heart.

Without waiting for Jiang Hanye to think too much, Ji Shangxuan had already covered with white light and stabbed Jiang Hanye with his sword. His footsteps were very strange. The flashing and moving was only on those straight lines. It seemed that he could not move after leaving the straight line.

In fact, it's not only Ji Shangxuan, but also Jiang Hanye after moving. Ji Shangxuan stabbed with a sword, and Jiang Hanye leaned back and habitually wanted to slide sideways to avoid it. However, his feet seemed to have taken root on the ground and could not move. In desperation, he could only rush forward in a straight line and hit Ji Shangxuan's chest with one punch.

The strength of this fist was really not light, because even Jiang Hanye felt a soreness in his arm, and all the power he released seemed to have returned along his arm. Suddenly, he only heard a click, and his shoulder was dislocated, and a tearing pain suddenly came overwhelmingly. At the same time, Ji Shangxuan waved his hand, and the Kunyu sword shone from his side to Jiang Hanye's neck, which was really fatal.

The pain of the bone was the most painful. Jiang Hanye's forehead was suddenly covered with sweat. He resisted the pain and jumped up from the top of Ji Shangxuan's head and fell on the corner where Ji Shangxuan was. Jiang Hanye's movements were very fast and as fast as lightning. However, as soon as he landed, he saw Ji Shangxuan suddenly appear behind him like a ghost, and the Kunyu sword also followed, stabbing Jiang Hanye's back heart.

Jiang Hanye knew that there was no way to avoid it. At this time, he could only go forward, so he did three things at the same time: the first thing was to rush forward and avoid the sword. At the same time, he was doing another thing, that is, the good hand pulled the dislocated arm, pulled hard, and reset the shoulder with a click. The third thing was that after rushing one step, suddenly like a wheel, the whole head and foot reversed, like an arrow, with his head to Ji Shangxuan's chest.

To be honest, Jiang Hanye was confused about this array. He didn't know how to deal with it at all, but he still tried his best to defeat Ji Shangxuan, who was once superior in his eyes.

When Jiang Hanye hit his head, Ji Shangxuan hurriedly turned his body to avoid it. However, Jiang Hanye crossed his body in mid-air, hugged Ji Shangxuan with both hands and tied his arm.

At this flash, the figures of the fourth brother and Xiao Yu suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Hanye, as well as the figures of the second uncle and those brothers, who died tragically in the hands of Ji Shangxuan. The gentle smiling face of the fourth brother, the star-like smile of Xiaoyu, and the violent temper of the second uncle, all of which stimulated Jiang Hanye's nerves. He muttered with tears, "I want to avenge you!"

It was this sentence that completely ignited the power contained in Jiang Hanye's body. He pushed Ji Shangxuan and roared forward. Ji Shangxuan didn't even have time to resist. Since he could not resist, he simply withdrew the sword, took the hilt as the tip of the sword, and stabbed Jiang Hanye in the back.

A tingling came from behind, which stimulated Jiang Hanye's nerves even more. He roared, strengthened his arms, and heard a few muffled sounds, which actually broke Ji Shangxuan's body.

Ji Shangxuan's figure gradually disappeared into the air, and Jiang Hanye reached out and touched the sting on his back without blood.

"It turns out that everything is an illusion." Jiang Hanye said to himself breathlessly, "I understand. This is the experience."

......

"Quick, that stone!" The old lady sat on a rock, eating the glutinous rice chicken brought from the mountain, while commanding Cen Ruoqiu.

At this time, Cen Ruoqiu was waving her hoe pitifully. There was a basket beside her, which was full of irregular stones. These stones were not ordinary stones. Each one contained copper, and digging copper was her first lesson.

"Is this stone also copper ore?" Cen Ruoqiu straightened up and wiped the sweat on his forehead and asked.

"What do you do so many questions? If you ask you to dig, you can dig!" The old lady's tone is not very friendly and gentle. She is very mean and strict with Cen Ruoqiu.

Cen Ruoqiu had no choice but to continue to dig. In fact, not only this stone, but also the stones that had been dug in her basket were just ordinary rocks in her eyes. She could not connect these stones with metal.

I don't know how long it took, the old Mama finally clapped her hands and stood up from the stone and said to Cen Ruoqiu, "Have you dug enough basket?"

"Enough." Cen Ruoqiu looked at the full basket of stones and replied that the stones were extremely heavy. Even if she had reached the late stage of spiritual silence, she couldn't help frowning.

"Well, carry it on your back and follow me." The old lady walked to the other side of the mountain, which was the opposite of Baihua Valley.

"M Mother, won't we go back to Baihua Valley?" Cen Ruoqiu reluctantly picked it up and caught up with the old Mau.

"No, I'm going to take you to a place. Do you think it's so easy to be a weapons engineer?" The old mother said, "If you want to be a qualified weapon, you must first be a good blacksmith."

"What? Blacksmith?" Cen Ruoqiu complained in her heart. No matter how powerful she is, she is a girl. How can she do the rough job of striking iron? To be honest, Cen Ruoqiu never thought that he would have such a day from beginning to end of his life.

"Otherwise, do you think these stones will turn into copper by themselves?" The old lady said, "Don't talk so much, come with me."

After climbing over the mountains, after walking for more than an hour, Cen Ruoqiu followed the old mau to a canyon. There are towering trees everywhere, and the canyon is very narrow and deep. Walking down the steep winding mountain road to the bottom of the valley, a stone hut appeared in front of Cen Ruoqiu.

There is a canyon on the other side of Baihua Mountain. Everyone in Baihua Valley knows that it is also called Baihua Canyon, but they never knew that there was also a stone hut here. What's more surprising is that there is a big forging furnace outside the stone hut, and there is also a melting furnace and a big Blower.

"That's it." The old lady stood at the door of the stone house and said, "Come in with me."

"I've lived here for so long that I didn't know there was a stone house here." Cen Ruoqiu Dao.

"You don't know much." The old lady said, "This room has always existed, but it has been artificially hidden."

Now Cen Ruoqiu is even more convinced of the old mother's words, and she now also regards the old mother as another master in her life, a respectable and mysterious master.

Entering the room, the old Mama stretched out her hand and pointed, and the originally silent furnace ignited a blazing flame, which instantly warmed up the place.

"Put down the basket and put the stone here." The old lady commanded Cen Ruoqiu to do this and that, which made her idle for almost a moment. " Pull this bellows hard, so that the flames can remain strong and the temperature higher, and your stone may turn into copper."

Is it possible? What does this mean? Cen Ruoqiu said, "Will it still fail?"

"How much copper do you think there can be in such a stone?" The old mother casually picked up a piece of ore larger than her head and said, "It's good that this basket of stones can melt such a big one, so child, you still have a long way to go."

Cen Ruoqiu pulled the bellows hard and bitterly listened to the old mother say those points at a fast speed. She even had a faint regret in her heart: "Why should I be a weapon engineer? Isn't it good to practice honestly?"

However, there is no regret medicine to buy in the world. Now that she has promised the old woman, she has decided to do this well. Besides, this is a win-win event, which is good for everyone, isn't it? One of the best examples is that the current Hundred Flowers Sword is amazingly powerful, which can be said to be more than four or five times stronger than the previous Hundred Flowers Sword. Cen Ruoqiu thought to himself, "If it goes on like this, it will no longer be a dream that we can get rid of the control of demon gods." She also wanted to help everyone strengthen the magic weapon. Whether this possibility is strong or not, it is an ideal in her heart.

As the old Mama said, these stones are really * copper blocks, which are all very small. After spending a day to find the ore collected on the mountain into the furnace, she finally solidified only a palm-sized copper block, an inch high, but although it was small, when her face was full of sweat and dirty Cen Ruoqiu After seeing this shiny copper block, his eyes still brightened.

"Ms., what can this copper block do? Can it be used to strengthen the magic weapon? Cen Ruoqiu went to find the old Mother with a dustpan with copper in his hand.

The old lady's heart was also cruel. From pulling the bellows to the mineralization, she stood by and just moved her mouth to command. Fortunately, Cen Ruoqiu is smart, and he did a good job for the first time. The old lady took a look and said coldly, "What can you do if you make it so rough? At most, this can only make your cultivation more refined. I mean the cultivation on the road of weapons engineer. You still have a lot to learn!"

Cen Ruoqiu's face turned red. She thought that copper would come out so quickly. No matter how picky the old woman was, she would at least say anything picky. Unexpectedly, the works she was proud of were still a pile of scum in the eyes of others.

"Go again and re-melt*. You have too much copper scum. Even if you barely adhere to the weapon, it can only be counterproductive in the end." The old lady ordered.

Cen Ruoqiu walked to the side of the furnace with a dustpan. As she walked, she thought, "Such a shiny copper block is so rough in her eyes. It seems that this road is not so easy to walk." Although she was a little sad, thinking of the bright future, she rekindled hope and returned to the furnace. Starting from the first step, she did it carefully step by step.

Cen Ruoqiu never thought that she would pick up the blacksmith's guy one day and stand next to the furnace for one night. This piece of copper has been back to the furnace six times before she finally reluctantly won the approval of the old mau. When they all began to yawn, the sky was already bright.

"Ah, I have to go back to clean up quickly. Forget it, that's all for today. I don't have time to do this with you all the time. You can come to practice if you have nothing to do." The old lady said to Cen Ruoqiu before going down the mountain.

Cen Ruoqiu nodded: "M Mother, please don't worry."

"Learn hard, there are your benefits! Among other things, if you learn this, you can make a lot of money!" The old lady said mysteriously.

Returning to Baihua Valley from the back mountain canyon, Cen Ruoqiu tiredly walked in the garden path with the Hundred Flowers Sword. Three sisters came face to greet each other warmly.

"Little sister, looking at you so tired, do you practice all night? Take care of yourself!"

"Ha ha, yes, I will, and so will you!" Cen Ruoqiu replied.

After passing by, Cen Ruoqiu suddenly remembered the dead mouse last night. She secretly said in her heart, "Body, if the monster body is found, the identity of the old sister..." Thinking of this, Cen Ruoqiu turned sharply and ran to Chaiyuan. She walked faster and faster, and finally she simply ran away.

When Cen Ruoqiu came to Chaiyuan, she was stunned to find that the ground was so clean that she could not see any blood.

At this time, the old woman was walking out with a broom in her hand. When she saw Cen Ruoqiu, she asked, "What are you doing here? I'll come to you if I have something to do.

"I just want to see that..." Cen Ruoqiu pointed to the door.

"Look at that body? I know you must be curious and want to ask me what's going on?" The old lady said, "He was sent by the demon world."

"What? Demon world? I didn't expect the demon god's claws to stretch out again so quickly. Cen Ruoqiu was shocked.

"Don't panic, he just came to invite me." The old M Mother said.

"Why?" Cen Ruoqiu asked.

"They thought I was a weapons engineer." The old lady replied indifferently, "But I told him that I was not. He didn't believe it, so that's it. Well, don't get in my way. I'm leaving."
