Taiping Inn

Chapter 180: Fire and Sword

The two traveled day and night and soon arrived at Xianjian Villa.

Xianjian Villa is now obviously more popular, and it can be seen that there are endless visitors to the villa. The main reason is that Xianjian Villa no longer closes its doors to visitors. The deeper reason lies in two points. The first is that Master Huixuan was repelled, which saved the villa from danger. The second point is that Mr. Zhang Haishi, the second master, has returned, which has made Xianjian Villa more confident. With confidence, it can naturally open the door to welcome guests.

When Li Xuandu and Qin Su arrived at the gate of the villa, the people in the villa naturally recognized them and immediately reported to the first and second owners of the villa. The two owners came out to greet them together.

After seeing Li Xuandu, Lu Shizhen wanted to pay great respects. Li Xuandu hurriedly supported him and said with a smile: "Master Lu, you don't have to do this, and you must not do this."

Lu Shizhen said sincerely: "Mr. Four has been very kind, and I have no way to repay you."

"Don't say such things again in the future." Li Xuandu said: "Master Lu promised to forge a sword for me, and we are even. Besides, I really owe Second Senior Brother a lot. Given the friendship between Master Lu and Second Senior Brother, it is reasonable for me to help. If Master Lu really feels bad, Master Lu will regard me as a sword for Second Senior Brother. If there is any favor, go to Second Senior Brother to report it."

Hearing what Li Xuandu said, Lu Shizhen didn't insist too much, and invited the two to enter the villa.

After arriving at the main hall, they sat down separately. Before Li Xuandu could ask, Lu Shizhen took the initiative to say, "I have done what Mr. Si entrusted me with."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Lu."

Lu Shizhen hesitated for a moment and said, "But there is still a problem."

Li Xuandu asked, "What is the problem?"

Lu Shizhen said, "The sword has been cast and is still in the sword furnace. If you want to take the sword, you have to ask Mr. Si to do it yourself."

Li Xuandu was interested after hearing this. He had heard of similar things in the Qingwei Sect in the past. After the sword was cast, it had its own spirituality, just like an unruly wild horse. If the sword master wanted to regain the sword, it was like taming a wild horse or training an eagle. It was a process of mutual struggle. If there was not enough realm cultivation, it would be difficult to succeed. However, the more difficult the sword was to tame, the greater its power and the better its appearance.

However, there were better swords that could choose their own masters. It sounded mysterious, but it was true. When Li Xuandu was at a mediocre level, he accidentally got the "Human World". If he was asked to tame the "Human World" at that time, it would be like a child taming a horse, and he would definitely fall to death. But the strange thing is that the "Human World" did not resist at all, which means it chose its own master.

Speaking of taming a sword, this is something Li Xuandu has never experienced before. With his current level of cultivation, as long as it is not a legendary fairy object or a top treasure known as "half a fairy object", it should not be a difficult task.

Li Xuandu asked, "Where is the sword furnace?"

Lu Shizhen signaled his brother to leave, then stood up and said, "Mr. Four, please follow me."

Li Xuandu and Qin Su followed Lu Shizhen, walked through the corridors and halls, and finally came to a building. This place was out of tune with the entire villa. It was not only because of its extremely old age, but also because of many subtle styles. It was not like the current dynasty, but more like the ancient buildings, rough and not delicate enough. In addition, only half of this building is on the ground, and the other half is underground.

Lu Shizhen introduced: "This is the sword furnace that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Xianjian Villa. The famous swords from Xianjian Villa are all cast here."

After that, she activated the mechanism, opened the stone door of the sword furnace, and then led the two people into it. First, there was a spacious hall, in which various swords were displayed and a stone statue was enshrined. It should be the founder of Xianjian Villa. After bypassing the stone statue, there was a passage that sloped downward behind it, about a hundred feet long. When walking out of this passage, rolling heat waves hit us in the face, as if we had suddenly walked into the hot weather in July. Looking around, everything was red, and a huge furnace stood here, with flames burning in it, making the air here distorted.

Li Xuandu looked at the furnace and asked with a little doubt: "Is this underground fire?"

Lu Shizhen said: "Not completely, with a little underground fire as the trigger, most of it is still ordinary fire."

Li Xuandu nodded.

Qin Su was slightly worried and whispered, "Zi Fu, you have just recovered from your injury and are not fully recovered yet. Don't push yourself too hard."

Li Xuandu whispered, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

After that, Li Xuandu activated the "Taiyi Wuyan Luo", and the five-color qi flowed around his body to protect himself from burning his hair and clothes, and then strode forward.

Through the flames and the gradually twisted smoke, Li Xuandu could vaguely see a black shadow standing in the furnace.

At this time, Lu Shizhen's voice came from behind: "Mr. Si, when I forged the sword this time, I first forged its shape, and then placed it in the sword furnace to forge and refine impurities. There is a strong fire on the sword body, be careful."

Li Xuandu raised one hand to indicate that he knew. Then he grabbed it, and under the traction of the qi, the rolling flames flew out of the sword furnace. At first glance, it seemed that he had grabbed a fire dragon from the sword furnace.

Li Xuandu did not dodge either. He changed his grab into a palm and activated the "Nine Yin Mysterious Dark Dang". The pure Yin Qi was stimulated, and the fire dragon, after leaving the sword furnace, was like a tree without roots, or water without a source. It could not last long. Under the pure Yin Qi of Li Xuandu, it disappeared in an instant.

Li Xuandu didn't want to use this move to completely consume the flames in the sword furnace. After all, this fire was born from the energy of the earth fire. It could be suppressed but difficult to extinguish. So Li Xuandu's move was just to test the bottom and see how fierce the flames in the sword furnace were. Now he had a rough idea in his mind.

Li Xuandu restrained his energy and punched out.

The fist vibrated, causing a bowl-shaped depression to appear in the blazing flames.

Li Xuandu took a step forward and punched out again.

Under the fist wind, the flames were continuously suppressed.

This continued for dozens of steps, which was dozens of punches, making the flames lower and lower.

Qin Su looked more and more wrong. Li Xuandu wanted to jump directly into the furnace? Was he crazy? Even if Li Xuandu's body protection energy could resist the blazing fire, it would definitely not last long.

Just when Qin Su wanted to speak, Li Xuandu suddenly stopped. At this time, he was only three steps away from the stove. He spread his hands, and the raging fire in the stove suddenly split to the sides, creating a "road" with a snow-white long sword at the end.

Even in the raging fire, the long sword seemed to be emitting a chilling coldness, like a peerless beauty who was unmoved by the wind, indifferent to the bees and butterflies around her. It was also like a fierce general on the battlefield, standing on thousands of corpses. Because half of it came from the "White Bone Mysterious Venerable", and the "White Bone Mysterious Venerable" was made by the Tibetan old man with the corpse of a Buddhist monk, so this sword was originally a sword of the dead, so its coldness was both external and icy, and internal, giving people a sense of dead silence and coldness in the soul.

The fire energy given to this sword by the sword furnace did not penetrate into the sword, but kept flowing on its surface, just like a lotus flower that grows out of mud without being stained.

"Beauty is always like a famous general, and she is not allowed to see white hair in the world." Li Xuandu praised: "Good sword."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xuandu pinched the sword formula with his left hand, and the index and middle fingers of his right hand made sword fingers, pointing at the sword from a distance.

This is the real sword control technique in the Qingwei Sect.

The so-called sword control is different from the sword control. It is only because the word "control" and the word "control" are homophones that people are confused and mistakenly think they are the same thing. There was a detailed explanation in "Sword Talk" that the sword control technique is to breed a sword embryo to cast a flying sword, and feed the flying sword with one's own essence and blood to give birth to spirituality. Only in this way can the mind communicate and drive it with the qi. In the way of sword control, there is no sword that cannot be used, and nothing cannot be a sword.

In general, the limitation of sword control is very great. If there is no flying sword that breeds the sword embryo, it is useless to have the sword control technique. Compared with the way of controlling the sword, which claims that everything can be a sword, it is undoubtedly inferior. Moreover, the way of controlling the sword uses the mind to control the sword, which does not consume too much energy. Therefore, hundreds of sword immortals in the past dynasties have controlled swords, and it is far less difficult than people imagine.

At this time, Li Xuandu tried to control the sword with the sword control technique, which was equivalent to putting a noose on the neck of a wild horse. Whether he could hold or pull the wild horse depended on the strength of the person pulling the rope.
