Chapter 5 There are many helpless rivers and lakes, and sword fighting is in the air (2)
It was a long sword made of fine steel, three feet and two inches long, with a slightly narrow body and a thin spine. It was a popular fast sword style. The sword body was covered with delicate cloud patterns, and the cold light was bright under the reflection of the morning light.
Ding Can knew that this sword was exquisitely crafted and skilled, and in terms of creation techniques, it was enough to be ranked lower than the technique of ink-fin slashing. However, stainless steel is stainless steel. No matter how hard the fine steel is tempered, it cannot match the black iron slash.
How can steel beat black iron?
"Hahaha..." Han Tong recovered and immediately laughed happily, "The wild species are wild species, and they are really unaware of it. How can a single bite of steel sword be comparable to the black iron? You don't think that the steel sword looks shining and shining, is it better? If you really want to be brighter than that sword, I can admit that the black iron is not good. Hahaha..."
"This sword is a semi-finished product and has not been completed yet," Yan Li said.
"Hahaha, it's so funny!" Han Tong laughed to the sky again, "Not to mention that you use semi-finished products to fight swords, just the shelves at the door of your Fenghuo Forging are all semi-finished products, which can make half of the city laugh! Hahaha--"
Except for Han Lin and Han Tong, most of the people present showed confusion on their faces. No one understood how the "semi-finished product" fights the sword. Only the old swordsman Ding Can's eyes flashed in his eyes, and he vaguely thought of something, and listened to Yan Li's following intently.
"What an ignorant stupid person." Yan Li retorted, "This sword has a sharp sword and a narrow and long sword body. It is a standard steel fast sword. Placed in front of the door, it shows that the forging technology of wind and fire forging is enough to forge the weapon. On the other hand, have you ever produced a sword that is imported in the past three years? Only this one is enough to prove that the wind and fire forging is above the Iron Yifang. The golden signboard of the Iron Yifang for decades has declined to this point in your Han Tong's hand, which is also tragic!"
These words made Ding Can, who was in charge of the sword fighting, nodded secretly, and the onlookers also admired each other. Tieyifang has been completely supported by the prestige of the Han family over the years, which is insignificant.
Han Tong was scolded again for no reason, and he couldn't help but be furious and shouted: "If you fight a sword, just fight a sword. Don't talk about these things. What are the fast swords and semi-finished products, they are just ordinary iron guys. How can I compare with the top-grade Mo Feng Slash in my hands?"
"Just say you are ignorant and don't know how to shut your mouth, so don't embarrass people!" Yan Li said disdainfully, "As a sword-making master in Jianchuan City, don't you know the rules for seeking swords in the three major sword sects? Why did the three major sword sects set these rules?"
The so-called three major sword gates are the three major sects in Jianchuan City, representing the three religions to govern Jianchuan City. They are the Tianfeng Temple of Taoism, the Zhuchan Temple of Buddhism, and the Jianzhu Garden of Confucianism.
The magical weapon of Jianzhuyuan is not famous in the world. People with chivalrous spirits cannot be obtained. Those who seek swords must carve bamboos in Jianzhuyuan to clarify their hearts and practice sword techniques with Confucian scholars in the courtyard before they can get the sword. Zhuchan Temple needs to bathe and fast for seven days, and then talk to the swordsman in the temple to discuss Buddhism with martial arts and practice Zen with the body. The view of Tianfeng is even more direct. Those who seek swords must come from the Taoist sect and leave it on the Tianfeng Stone empty-handed.
Every Jianchuan person knows these rules. But no one has ever thought about why.
After Han Tong was scolded several times, he knew that he could not get any benefits verbally and did not dare to take the conversation. Han Lin beside him was not afraid and said for granted: "You still have to ask why? What is the status of the three major sword sects? If there is no rules, how can you be in a circle?"
This young master obviously compared the three religions to the noble master, and compared his seniority to wealth every day. If you have any questions, you must set rules to show your nobility.
Of course, this is what most people think. Even though they were born in Jianchuan and grew up listening to the sound of ironwork since childhood, how many people can really understand the mystery of Jiandao?
Only Ding Can heard the profound meaning from it, and he became more and more afraid to look down on the young man in front of him.
"Ha." Yan Li chuckled, and Zhizhu was holding it. "You are like you, and you have to live a life by pretending to behave? Is it the masters of the true teachings of the Three Sects just like you, an ignorant child, and your iron-clothed workshop that cannot be made even with the first-class sword weapon? The three Sects have their own rules and the same requests are all the same, that is, the integration of man and sword!"
This conclusion is unheard of, and even Han Lin and Han Tong did not interrupt Yan Li's words.
Yan Li paused and continued to say, "Swords are weapons after all. No matter what level of magic weapons, they must cooperate with the swordsman to reach the pinnacle. Similarly, no matter what kind of magic weapons, as long as there is no warrior who has a tacit understanding with them, they are scrap iron. The standard specifications can only be applicable to most beginners. For real masters of sword use, standard swords must be specially modified to achieve the best. Therefore, every standard sword is a semi-finished product."
Most of the people present felt that it was so mysterious that they could not understand the mystery.
Only an old swordsman like Ding Can has his eyes lit up, and he feels suddenly enlightened. He thought to himself: Iron Yifang was persecuting this young man first and then came to challenge him later. He was really stupid to grandma's house. If such a genius is in my hardware hall, he would definitely hold it in his hand and be afraid of it being broken, and hold it in his mouth to be afraid of it being melted!
"I and Shaodangjia are representatives of Fenghuo Forging, and I am a swordsman, and Shaodangjia is a swordsman. We participate in the competition with this fine steel sword, so of course we need to modify it and strive to integrate with Shaodangjia's sword."
Yan Li said his way of participating in the competition with a strong force, and everyone who was in a state of great strength was lit up.
This is an unprecedented method of fighting swords.
According to general rules, the sword fight is to each side give a sword, and a respected swordsman is judged comprehensively according to quality and casting level. For this sword fight, the ink-fin slash of the Iron Yifang and the black iron are the best material, and the construction method is not as good as the construction method; if the wind-fire forging fine iron sword materials are not as good as the quality, the best-quality construction level must be the draw.
If you really get a draw, then you will attack each other with two swords, and the one with the broken sword will be defeated.
Of course, it is impossible to reach the top quality of Fenghuo Forging. It is already rare to be able to enter the bottom quality. Otherwise, how could it be a small workshop? This is the reason why the Tieyifang is responsible for his own conviction.
However, the situation is different now.
Yan Li suddenly proposed the standard of unity of man and sword, and designated Duan Yan to cooperate with this sword, and used the three high-ranking sword gates as a guise, no one could refute it. As long as he could make this steel long sword cooperate with Duan Yan, he could at least tie the battle with Mo Fengzhao.
Sure enough, before the Tieyifang could refute, Ding Can paused word by word and said seriously: "Brother Yan has such insights at such an age, which is really amazing! Not to mention the ultimate realm of the unity of man and sword, as long as the brother can let the sword and sword master cooperate, you will have a place among the sword-casting masters!"
"Senior is too rewarded." Yan Li saluted Ding Can, turned around and said to Duan Yan, "Please try the sword at the young master."
Duan Yan also wiped out his previous anger and depression, and there was a little more glory in his tiger's eyes.
Every young man in Jianchuan has a dream of swordsmanship, and Duan Yan is no exception. Otherwise, he would not give up his family business and go to the Hengjiang Gang to work hard in the world. For swordsmen, the legendary realm of "the unity of man and sword" has a fatal attraction, and even a slight hope is enough to excite them.
Without saying a word, he strode forward, pulling out the standard steel fast sword, and strode sideways to use the first three styles of "The Sword of the Wind Burning Sword". In an instant, a strong wind blew up in front of the Fenghuo Forging Gate. The dust scattered under his feet, and only the wind of the Breaking Sword Breaking Sword was heard in the air.
Duan Yan has solid foundation and pure sword skills. Only a master of Ding Can, a level 3, can discover the hidden obstacles in his swordsmanship. Even Han Lin, a young genius with his skills, is not even good at it.
I'm afraid that only Yan Li, who has lived for a lifetime in his dream and met countless martial arts masters, can discover the key to stagnation without learning martial arts.
Everything is under Yan Li's control.
The fast sword is indeed suitable for Duan Yan, but this sword is not fast enough!
"Well, please follow me in." Yan Li said, and slowly walked into the Fenghuo Forging.
Duan Yan then entered, unable to hide the tension and excitement in his eyes.
The work of the sword-casting master has always been private. The four sword-casting masters who were forged by the wind and fire blocked the door without hesitation. Everyone could not watch, and could only discuss it in place.
Tieyifang, which was originally sure to win, couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment - the combination of man and sword is mysterious and mysterious, and it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false. If... if there is really... the sword-fighting bet has been established, and Tieyifang will have to close the door and get out if it loses. How will they explain to the Han family?
"That bastard..." Han Lin began to ponder without confidence.
"Young master, don't worry, he has never cast a sword!" Han Tong could only bite this one to increase his confidence. Although he felt that this confidence was not reliable.
At the same time, the wind-fire forging inside, beside the anvil.
"Brother Yan, are you... sure you want to do this?" When things come to an end, Duan Yan is not confident than the people in Tieyifang - Yan Li's transformation method looks extremely absurd.
"Well, very sure." Only Yan Li himself was calm and confident.
"But……"
"But I have injuries on my body and cannot move the hammer. I can only ask Brother Duan to do it for me."
"This is easy to say..."
"Since it's easy to say, why are Brother Duan hesitating? If we hit it, we will win."
"this……"
"Duan Dazhu is bedridden. How much time does the young boss have to delay? A man must give it a try when he is alive!"
This sentence finally moved Duan Yan. He opened his eyes wide, gritted his teeth, swung the hammer in his hand, and smashed it down violently.
"when--"
A loud ironclad sound came from the wind and fire forging, which shocked everyone outside the door. Immediately afterwards, two young men walked out of the door.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the quick sword in Duan Yan's hand.
The sword was about three inches missing.
A broken sword.
"Hahahaha..." Han Tong saw it clearly and laughed loudly, and he was laughing happily than before. "What semi-finished product, what kind of sword is combined with one, it is indeed a sensationalism, nonsense! Originally, this sword was pretty good and barely available for the product, but now... hahahaha, it's really scrap metal!"
Han Lin beside him also smiled evilly, thinking to himself: The wild species is indeed a wild species. No matter how powerful the mouth is, it is still muddy and can't help it.
Not to mention these two rivals, Ding Can, who secretly supported Fenghuo Forging, both of his eyebrows frowned into the character Sichuan.
Duan Yan, who was carrying a broken sword in his hand, looked at Ding Can's expression and became nervous - the opponent's Mo Feng Slash is not comparable to the fine steel fast sword, let alone the useless sword with a broken section?
Chapter completed!
