Sword Moon Lyrics

After a while, a giant tiger-headed boat approached the dock. Two young men on the boat jumped off before the bow of the boat could stabilize. They bowed to the ground and said, "Greetings to Uncle Qianchu."

Taoist Qianchu waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite. You are the third eldest son of the Yan family, right?" He pointed at the slightly taller young man among the two.

The young man said hurriedly: "You are the junior. The last time I saw you was thirty-two years ago. Shibo's body is as healthy as before, and there is no change at all."

Master Qianchu led the horse, stepped onto the giant boat, and said: "I'm old, I'm old, I'm no longer useful. But you, remember last time you were still in the early stage of foundation building, and now you have reached the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, which is amazing !”

The young man showed a hint of amusement in his eyes, and ordered the sailors in the cabin to start the big boat, saying: "Where! This disciple is so stupid that it makes Shibo laugh." Then he pointed at the short, yellow-skinned young man next to him, "This It’s Lao Jiu from the third room. When Shibo came last time, he was in seclusion building foundations and couldn’t see Shibo.”

The young man bowed and said: "Junior Yan Wu has met Shibo Qianchu, and often hears his second uncle talking about you. He missed it last time, and this time he is finally lucky enough to meet Shibo."

Master Qianchu smiled and said: "How lucky are you to see me? What misfortune is there if you don't see me?" Master Qianchu had an easy-going personality, and his words were somewhat meant to ridicule young people.

That Yan Wudao said: "Shibo is a senior man with extensive knowledge. Even if he gives us a few words of advice, it is a great opportunity for us. If we don't have the opportunity to meet him, we will not be able to listen to his teachings. Of course, it is a great deal for us." It's unfortunate." He responded quickly and appropriately.

Master Qianchu said with a smile: "It seems that everyone in Yan Laoer's family is very good at talking."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone on the other side heard a long laugh and said: "You are so awesome that you can even bully a junior. You are really shameless."

Shi Feng looked intently and saw a person standing on the shore of the island. He was about forty years away. He had thin eyes and a long beard. His face was elegant and his long beard hung down from his abdomen.

Taoist Qianchu flew across the river and landed on the shore. He laughed and said, "Yan Laoer, I haven't seen you for decades. You seem to be getting younger as you live."

The middle-aged man said: "Niubi, you haven't changed much, but your belly seems to be bigger again."

Master Qianchu showed his belly and said: "Your dog's eyes are really accurate. To be honest, if it weren't for the hundreds of jars of fine wine you have stored in the cellar, I wouldn't be too lazy to come."

The two obviously have a very close friendship, and they joke with each other when they meet, without any formality.

At this time, the giant boat docked and everyone boarded Lu Lai. Master Qianchu pointed his finger and said, "This is my disciple, Shi Feng, Xing Qi. You can call him Shi Qi."

Then he pointed at the middle-aged man with a long beard and said, "This is the local bully Yan Laoer of Pinghu Villa."

Shi Feng bowed respectfully, "Disciple Shi Qi has met Mr. Yan!"

The second master Yan glanced at Shi Feng and praised: "What a majestic man. Sure enough, there are heroes from Yan and Zhao!"

After that, he took Master Qianchu's arm and walked in hastily, "You are so awesome, how did you get here, you made me anxious to death."

Shi Feng followed and walked inside. There was a finely paved cobblestone road with rockeries, corridors, flowers and trees scattered along the way, which was quite elegant.

What I saw along the way was no different from ordinary wealthy people. Just looking at it, I really couldn't believe that this was the Yan family, one of the four major weapon-making families in Sichuan.

After a while of burning incense, everyone entered a bamboo house. The weather was sultry and the cicadas were chirping endlessly outside, but the small bamboo house was very shady.

Mr. Yan invited everyone to sit down and immediately asked his servants to bring iced rice wine. This wine has a glutinous fragrance and a soft and sweet aftertaste.

Master Qianchu drank four or five bowls in a row before sighing with satisfaction, "It seems that my belly is still bigger with you. Oh, by the way, why didn't I see my uncle and friend?"

Mr. Yan sighed: "He bought a Xuanhe Token last year and has been preparing for it for the past two years."

Master Qianchu's eyes narrowed, "Does he want to enter the Illusion of All Spirits?"

Second Master Yan nodded, "Yes, he is young and was raised by his eldest brother. He is like a father. Ever since he formed the elixir, he has been obsessed with rescuing my eldest brother. He doesn't care about things in Zhuangzi."

While the two of them were talking, Shi Feng just buried his head in drinking without saying a word.

After drinking for three rounds, Mr. Yan said: "It's getting late today. You have traveled such a long journey again. Please stay on the outer island and have a good night's rest."

He smiled at Shi Feng, "As for tomorrow, what are Mr. Shi's plans?"

Shi Feng was so smart. He immediately understood that Zhuang Yan would discuss important matters with his uncle tomorrow, but it was inconvenient for Shi Feng to participate. He put down his wine bowl and said, "Junior, I will obey Mr. Yan's instructions."

Mr. Yan thought to himself: This person is quite sensible. He turned to Yan Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, Chengdu is the busiest these days. You should accompany Nephew Shi to have a nice stroll in the city. You must fulfill your friendship as a landlord."

Yan Wudao: "Yes! Second uncle."

That night, Master Qianchu and Shi Feng stayed on the outer island.

The next day, just after dawn, Yan Wu came to Shi Feng's residence to invite him. Shi Feng had heard of the name of Chengdu Prefecture and wanted to see it. The two of them packed up and headed to the city.

Pinghu Villa is located fifteen miles south of Chengdu. This area is the territory of the Yan family, and Yan Wu directly controls the weapons.

In a short time, the two of them had reached Yangjiaopo in the southern suburbs. If they went further, it would no longer be the Yan family's territory. The two of them lowered their heads and walked three or four miles to the south gate.

Although Shi Feng and his uncle passed through the city yesterday, they were in a hurry and did not take a closer look. The scenery was indeed different during this slow walk.

Chengdu is the largest city in Shu. It was built more than a thousand years ago. From the earliest two main roads, it has developed into sixteen main roads. Each road is ten feet wide and can accommodate several carriages. The main roads are all made of bluestone, tightly connected, and there are ditches on both sides of the road to drain rainwater.

There are many shops on the street, hawking sounds are heard one after another, and people are flowing continuously.

Yan Wu is an expert in the local area and almost never stopped talking along the way.

"Brother Shi, look at the shops on this road. Any shop with a dark yellow sign and auspicious clouds on the edge is dedicated to entertaining us cultivators. Otherwise, it is just an ordinary shop for mortals."

"Oh! Do those small objects hanging under the sign represent the items sold in the shop?"

"Brother Shi is smart and guessed it right. The gourd represents elixir, the small sword represents weapons and magic tools, and the jade slips are naturally for selling classic books."

"Hey, what do the three silver needles hanging under the sign of this shop mean? Is it selling hidden weapons?"

"Haha, no, no. Hidden weapons are also weapons, sold in weapon shops. This shop doesn't sell anything, it treats illnesses."

"Treatment?" Shi Feng was stunned. He had heard Yun'er say that the art of elixir is actually divided into two branches: alchemy and medicine. However, in Yan State, there are few cultivators, so there are no doctors who specialize in treating cultivators.

Shuzhong is indeed a great place for cultivation, with more cultivators than Yan State. On the way, Shi Feng saw that 10% of the people were cultivators.

Hearing Shi Feng's admiration, Yan Wu smiled and said, "Brother Shi misunderstood. After all, cultivators are people with spiritual roots, and they are rare in the world. Although Chengdu is a big county, it is impossible that one out of ten is a cultivator. If that were the case, wouldn't there be tens of millions of cultivators in the whole Shuzhong? You see so many cultivators on the street, it's just a grand event."

Shi Feng had heard about it from Master Ganchu on the way, and said, "Is the grand event that Brother Yan is talking about the competition between your eighteen families?"

Yan Wu waved his hand and said, "The competition between the eighteen families sounds scary, but after all, it's just a private matter between our families, not a show on the street. The ceremony, which can be watched by people, can't attract so many cultivators. In fact, in addition to our martial arts lecture, there are two other big events. "

"There are two more events that can be compared with the competition of the eighteen noble families. I think it's not a small matter?"

"Brother Shi is the disciple of Gan Chu Zhenren. Haven't you heard of the test of weapon refiners?"

Shi Feng was surprised and said, "I don't know! It turns out that Shuzhong will hold a test for weapon refiners recently. I heard that the test for weapon refiners is organized by the weapon refiners alliance, and the qualification certification is very famous."

Yan Wu was not surprised to hear this. He didn't see the mark of weapon refiners on Shi Feng's coat.

Although Gan Chu Zhenren is a fifth-grade weapon refiner who is as famous as his second uncle, Yan Wu chatted with his family brothers privately and knew that Gan Chu Taoist was born in the Taiji Sect of Yan State, which is a Taoist Xuanmen, not a weapon refiner sect.

This kind of Xuanmen orthodox sect often regards weapon refinement as a minor skill. Gan Chu Taoist is gifted, and weapon refinement is his private study. His orthodox disciples may not know weapon refinement at all.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Shi Feng did not even know about the major event of the weapon refiner test in Shuzhong.

Yan Wu said: "That's right. Among the four major miscellaneous studies of cultivation, elixir, weapon refinement, talisman formation, and puppet, only one and a half are the level qualification tests organized by the alliance, but this level qualification is recognized by the entire Qinzhong Continent, including the demon race and the demon race."

"One and a half?"

"Yes, weapon refiner counts as one, and alchemist can only count as half. The so-called elixir is divided into elixir and medicine. Alchemists are easy to deal with. Whether they can refine elixir and what grade of elixir they can refine is clear at a glance, but medical skills cannot be measured. You can't find a bunch of patients and see who can cure them?"

Shi Feng smiled and said, "That's right, that's right.

Yan Wu said: "The tests for alchemists and weapon refiners are nine grades in total, corresponding to the first to ninth grades of elixir and magic weapon."

Shi Feng said: "That is to say, those who can refine ninth-grade elixir and ninth-grade magic weapon are ninth-grade alchemists or ninth-grade weapon refiners. ”

Yan Wu nodded and said, "Yes, it's that simple. The test for weapon refiners is from low to high. To become a seventh-grade weapon refiner, the prerequisite is that you are an eighth-grade weapon refiner, and the ninth-grade weapon refiner is the lowest, so there is no limit on registration. ”

"Do you still need to register?"

"Of course, you must first undergo a qualification review before you can officially participate in the test. The weapon master test is extremely strict. The weapon refiner alliance must send people to supervise each link to ensure fairness and justice. Once corruption is discovered, they will be immediately expelled and will not be allowed to participate again for life. ”

Shi Feng said, "So rigorous?"

"Yes, otherwise why is the certification of weapon refiners universal throughout the Qinzhong Continent!"

Shi Feng said, "Brother Yan, your family is one of the four major families in Shuzhong. There should be many weapon refiners in the family, right?" Yan Wu smiled and said, "Brother Shi, it seems that you really don't know. There are more than 3,000 children and servants in our Pinghu Villa, and only eleven of them have the title of weapon refiner. ”

"So few? "Shi Feng was a little surprised.
