Chapter 671: The breeze cuts the snow

This time Li Xiuyuan did not dream, but slept quietly for three days and three nights under the gaze of the gods.

The Phoenix Spirit came over at night to add charcoal to the brazier in front of him, although Li Xiuyuan was no longer afraid of the wind, frost, rain and snow.

Xiao Longer's three daughters also came over to add fuel to the fire for him during the day. Nangong Ruyu even sat next to him and whispered for an hour. She was not afraid that Li Xiuyuan would not wake up.

He knew that his master was too tired.

Only Xiao Qing asked Xiao Long'er to follow her to practice swordsmanship in the snow outside the temple, saying that Li Xiuyuan would definitely have to do some research after waking up. If the three of them didn't make any progress in their swordsmanship, they might start scolding them again.

After being away from the cold and dampness of Damengze, the Phoenix Spirit suddenly felt that the temple was a good place.

Although there is a danger of being swallowed by a volcano when nesting deep in the mountains, the howling north wind cannot blow in.

She even had the illusion that this place was the Phoenix Valley.

In this way, three days passed quietly.

The divine light in the hall would only slowly emerge in the dead of night, quietly changing Li Xiuyuan's physique. It was precisely because of this that he would sleep for a long time without waking up.

Growth requires sunlight, rain and dew, as well as time.

I don't know how long it took, but Li Xiuyuan slowly opened his eyes. The 36,000 pores in his body greedily absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the temple. Even the jade disc fragments in the divine sea were emitting a faint divine light.

His eyes fell on the Buddhist altar. Li Xiuyuan felt that the eyes of the Buddhas opened at this moment, and then slowly closed again.

There was only a crisp creaking sound, and Xiao Longer pushed open the door of the hall and walked out from the side door. He looked at Li Xiuyuan who was still lying down and said with a smile: "Brother has become a pig too."

Li Xiuyuan stretched out his somewhat stiff hands, looked at her and asked, "Xiao Long'er, how many days have I slept?"

"It's been three days!" Xiao Long'er shouted as he pulled Li Xiuyuan out of the animal blanket.

After sleeping quietly for three days, Li Xiuyuan's energy and energy had been completely restored. He looked at Xiao Long'er and said with a smile: "Make breakfast. After eating, start forging swords."

There is a temple in the mountain, but there is no old monk in the temple, only Buddhas sitting quietly there.

There is still a courtyard inside the temple, a small courtyard. Thousands of years of erosion by wind, rain, snow, and frost have not caused the courtyard to collapse. It can be seen that the owner who built this temple spent a lot of thought.

After waking up, Li Xiuyuan took a shower and felt that his energy seemed to be even better than when he broke through the cave. He estimated that he would not feel tired even if he continued to hammer for a day.

I cooked a pot of porridge and boiled a pot of water to make tea.

Looking at the three women lazily dressing up, Li Xiuyuan smiled.

Think about how long you can enjoy this kind of time? One year? Or two years?

When the Shura Battlefield ended, Xiao Qing, Nangong Ruyu and Phoenix Spirit went to Phoenix Valley, and Xiao Longer was left to depend on them for the next few years.

I used to think that Xiao Qing would never leave me, but after he went to the Demon Realm, he liked to fly alone. After the shocking incident at the Tianmenguan Auction House, he stopped thinking a little.

What about the fat Chu Feng who he once thought would be with Xiao Qing?

After all the storm, the two of them will never be able to go back to their past, right?

As for Nangong Ruyu, who has transformed into a phoenix, the only way out now is the Phoenix Valley. After leaving the Shura battlefield, will the master and apprentice meet again fifty years later? Or will it be a hundred years later?

Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan felt that the way of cultivation was so cruel!

Fortunately, I have always followed my own will and never changed for external things.

Nangong Ruyu looked at Li Xiuyuan who was silent and came over to sit next to him: "Master, what are you thinking about? You have been sleeping for three days."

Li Xiuyuan sighed, poured him a cup of hot tea, and said calmly: "I was wondering where to find a piece of divine iron to make swords for you."

Back then, in the Taoyuan of the Endless Fire Domain of Tianxiang Academy, he still had an unknown piece of magical iron left, which was left to him by the old man Shenlong lived in the mainland.

But it’s obviously not enough weight for two swords?

Nangong Ruyu was stunned, looked at him blankly and said, "Yu'er doesn't have one either?"

Xiao Long'er shook his head, looked at the two of them and said, "Xiao Long'er doesn't either."

Phoenix Spirit thought for a while, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "I have a small piece here, I don't know if it is enough?" After saying that, he took a dark red iron piece and handed it over.

When Li Xiuyuan took it, he felt that there was a hint of flame, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this the divine iron from Phoenix Valley?"

Phoenix Spirit smiled and said: "Back then, I also wanted to find someone to make a sword, so I wanted to find materials... but I only found this small piece after searching for it."

Li Xiuyuan nodded, looked at Nangong Ruyu and said, "The swords you and Xiaoqing have originally belong to fire, and with the addition of the divine iron from my senior, the swords made of them will probably have an extra layer of flame power."

Xiao Qing came and handed his Qingfeng Sword out of its scabbard to Li Xiuyuan and asked, "After this sword is recast, will it still be called Qingfeng?"

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "You can call me whatever you like? What name do you think of, Yu'er?"

Nangong Ruyu shook her head and said seriously: "Zhan Xue was originally cast by my master for Yu'er, and even though it was recast ten or eight times, I still like the name Zhan Xue."

Xiao Qing thought for a while and said, "Let me think about it before talking."

Li Xiuyuan put away the Divine Iron and Qingfeng Sword and said, "Let's eat and start today."

Nangong Ruyu thought for a while and asked: "Master, do you want Yu'er to help?"

"No, you take the two of them to practice sword practice. I will test you another day... It has been six years in the blink of an eye. Xiao Long'er, you won't be lazy all the time, right?"

"No, no, no, Xiao Long'er is no longer afraid of the second sister." Xiao Long'er was startled and looked at Li Xiuyuan and waved.

When it comes to practicing swordsmanship, it's Xiao Qing and Xiao Long'er's nightmare.

...

After finishing the porridge, I drank two cups of tea.

Li Xiuyuan set up a sword-making platform under the eaves of the courtyard, lit up the dragon's fire, and weighed the two pieces of divine iron in his hands. Xiaoqing's and Nangong Ruyu's swords were both light, but the original heat was not good enough.

Melt two pieces of divine iron first, and then split them into two? No, I guess neither of them can use a sword that is too heavy.

After thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan decided to control the weight of the two women's swords to about 70 to 80 pounds, and use the rest to make a few pairs of scissors.

Nangong Ruyu took the two girls to practice swordplay in the wilderness of the temple. The Phoenix Spirit hid in a sleeping bag to rest. This was the time for Li Xiuyuan to practice alone.

It took an hour to fuse the two divine irons, then separate them, and then melt Nangong Ruyu's Zhanxue.

Watching Zhan Xue gradually turning into molten iron, Li Xiuyuan thought about Ouyang Dongli, the master who wielded hammers and made swords in the caves of the Tianshan Mountains, that strange man who delayed his practice because he was obsessed with swords.

It is a master that I have never met in Tianyu City, Tianxiang City and Tianluo City. I guess my husband is staying in Xinghua Valley and there is no news about Master Ouyang, otherwise the two of them would have met long ago.

Seeing Zhanxue and Shente merge into one, Li Xiuyuan calmed down.

No longer thinking about the master who had left, he poured snow water into the sword slot, picked up the sword embryo with iron tongs, put it in the stove and heated it red, then held the hammer and started forging.

After a lot of hard work, today I’ll start with cutting the snow.

His movements were clean and neat. In fact, he followed what Ouyang Dongli taught him back then. He hammered the shovel in his hand and hit his face hard one after another.

Thousand hammers, ten thousand hammers, I just want to bring out two long swords this winter.

And this winter, he also needs to practice his heavy sword. Now he wants to practice the speed of the heavy sword to the same speed as the sword. Fast, accurate and ruthless!

Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly and looked at the sword embryo on the sword-making platform. The sword in front of him, which was originally a dark red Zhanxue, now had a trace of bright flames, running from the tip of the sword all the way down to the hilt.

It seemed to turn into a phoenix flame, as if it was about to leave Xuan Xue's sword body and fly away through the air.

His wrist trembled slightly, but the hammer in Li Xiuyuan's hand showed no intention of stopping, and continued to hammer for half an hour.

As if he thought of something, he simply put down the Snow-Zhancing Sword embryo, took out Xiaoqing's Qingfeng Sword, placed it in the sword slot, and re-calcinated the fused divine iron together.

He wants to test whether the textures of the two swords will be the same. Is it possible that he can forge two identical swords?

After all, the material of Xiaoqing's sword blade is different from that of Nangong Ruyu's Zhanxue.

Another hour passed, and Qingfeng and Divine Iron merged into a new sword embryo. By this time, Nangong Ruyu had already brought the two girls back to the temple to make tea and discuss what to eat in the evening.

Phoenix Spirit looked at Li Xiuyuan standing in a daze beside the sword-making platform from a distance, without saying anything, and called the three girls to go to the side hall to talk.

Forging a sword requires effort, and it cannot be interrupted by others.

Both Nangong Ruyu and Xiao Qing understood this truth. They stretched out their hands and dragged Xiao Longer, who was about to disturb Li Xiuyuan, towards the side hall.

"Master is working hard and cannot be disturbed!" Nangong Ruyu glared at Xiao Long'er fiercely.

After a while, the sound of tinkling came to the ears of the four women. Xiao Longer smiled and said: "Brother seems to have figured it out, now he starts blacksmithing again!"

When the time of Xu came, Nangong Ruyu came to light a few lanterns in the temple and hung one under the eaves where Li Xiuyuan made swords. He didn't ask the master whether he was hungry or not.

In her opinion, the master has figured it out, and he will naturally look for food when he is hungry.

The four women had already filled their bellies and were sitting under the lamp guarding a pot of charcoal fire and a pot of tea.

Two bowls of vegetables and a bowl of white rice were hot in the pot, waiting for Li Xiuyuan to come find them when he got hungry.

Li Xiuyuan stood in front of the sword-making platform, looking down at the two completely different sword embryos, his body stiffened, and his right hand holding the hammer trembled slightly.

Nangong Ruyu's Zhanxue is a phoenix flame that penetrates the entire sword body!

Xiao Qing's Qingfeng Sword has a blue flame pattern going up from the sword body, and finally a flame blooms at the end of the sword embryo.

Just like Xiaoqing’s Qingluan Fire!

Can such a sword still be called Qingfeng?

Xiao Long'er sat at the table and licked his paws, looking up from time to time at the door of the side hall.

She had already eaten an hour ago, but she did not call her brother to eat.

Because the four of them all knew that Li Xiuyuan was stuck in the artistic conception of making swords at this time, Nangong Ruyu did not allow the two of them to go over and disturb his master.

Xiao Long'er pouted and shouted: "Sister, Xiao Long'er's snacks are almost gone. Do you have any more?"

When he thought of staying on the Shura battlefield for another two years, even Xiao Longer was about to lose his patience.

Nangong Ruyu glanced at the door, sighed and said, "Didn't you and I buy it together? Forget it, come to me after you finish eating it. I don't have much left."

Xiao Qing looked at the Phoenix Soul Bottle and said, "Senior, would you like to call Li Xiuyuan in and ask if he ran into trouble while forging the sword?"

Phoenix Spirit looked at her and smiled: "Do you two know how to forge swords? I don't understand."

Xiao Qing was stunned, and Xiao Long'er on the side chuckled: "Xiao Long'er doesn't understand either."

It wasn't until midnight that Li Xiuyuan pushed the door in. He looked at the four people who were stunned and said with a smile: "What are you all thinking about? Are you still waiting for me to barbecue?"
