When he asked this, Ping Jiangqiu was stunned and said: "How come...this...sword was made by a swordsmith."
Tang Zhao said solemnly: "Is the sword so magical, actually made by manpower?"
Since it can be cast by humans, it shouldn't be that rare.
Ping Jiangqiu clarified his thoughts and said: "People cannot forge casually, not even swordsmiths. Forging a sword requires a sword seed. The sword seed is the most magical treasure in the world, containing endless possibilities. The swordsmith casts the sword seeds and precious materials together, and it becomes a magical sword."
Tang Zhao asked: "Where did the sword species come from?"
Ping Jiangqiu's face was stiff, and after holding it in for a long time, he asked: "Let me ask you, where did the pig come from?"
Tang Zhao asked tentatively: "Born by a sow?"
Ping Jiangqiu tugged at his beard and said angrily: "Didn't I know it was born by a sow? Let me ask you where the first pig came from?"
Tang Zhao blinked and immediately thought of terms such as "evolution" and "origin of life", but he didn't understand these things, so naturally he couldn't show them off.
Ping Jiangqiu took a breath and said: "Sword species are like treasures from heaven and earth... Just like pigs, they are bred by heaven and earth, and all things are born. Of course, sword species are the essence of heaven and earth, and they are the most cherished. Although the first sword It's only a few hundred years ago, but that can only mean that it took hundreds of years for the swordsmiths to discover the sword species and master the sword-making skills. Didn't they discover that the sword species no longer existed? Maybe the sword species was nurtured in heaven and earth Tens of thousands of years.”
Tang Zhao said softly: "Sword species and pigs..."
Ping Jiangqiu glared at him and said: "I gave an example - just like pigs, does it mean that you know how pigs come from? Does it mean that you know how to kill pigs and how to breed them? You should I care about how to eat pork and where the pork is delicious!”
Tang Zhao nodded and accepted the lesson. If he continued not to be taught, the old man would go berserk.
Pingjiang Qiudao: "If you want to find a sword, the first way is to find the sword species, and then ask the swordsmith to make the sword. This all depends on luck. It may be buried in your backyard, or you may not find it in your lifetime. All Sanren Everyone wants to find sword species, and there are also specialized "treasure hunters" who are also looking for them, but there are very few that can be found. Probably, we have almost found sword species in the world, and we can only go to the front lines and ancient battlefields to find them. But those places If you are not a swordsman, you are looking for death, so it is becoming more and more difficult to find sword seeds."
"And even if you go out and pick up a sword species, it will most likely not be suitable for you. You will still have to wait to exchange it or sell it. So..."
Tang Zhao said: "As long as it can be sold, it will eventually fall into the hands of rich and powerful people?"
Ping Jiangqiu nodded and said: "That's right. Just like rare treasures must fall into the hands of the biggest buyers. Of course, swords are the most popular among the big powers. On the one hand, these big powers collect swords in the world, and they can send swordsmen into dangerous places to find them. For sword types, the swords of one's own swordsman will be recovered after death, waiting for a new owner. Over time, there are many swords. So if a force is old enough, its background is usually good."
"The most powerful force in the world is the imperial court, followed by the big sects in the Paradise of Cave Heaven. It is said that the emperor in the capital now has no say, and the princes in the world are divided and each dominates his own side. However, those military leaders may rise and fall overnight. How can he die after searching for it, there is no trace of the background, the forces of all parties are surging, and it is impossible to guess the background of each family. "
Tang Zhao nodded, then was stunned again, thinking: Didn't you hide in the jar before? How come you even know the situation in the imperial court? There are also things like the decline of imperial power and local control of control. Even the people of the Jin Dynasty may not know about it as long as the surroundings are peaceful and they don't care about the overall situation?
Even Tang Zhao himself heard from Mr. Chen that Mr. Chen was particularly interested in the general trend of the world.
There are many weird things about Ping Jiangqiu, but Tang Zhao doesn't want to expose them.
Ping Jiangqiu was completely unaware that his character was ruined, and continued: "If you want to be a swordsman in the future, the easiest thing is of course to follow the Jiandi Division, eliminate demons and evil spirits everywhere, and receive rewards for meritorious service in exchange for resources, but don't trust others. You still have to do it. Go look for the type of sword. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t match. Keep it in your hand and wait to exchange it with someone else. Or go to the second-hand black market. Some swords have been hidden for a long time, or are lying in dust waiting for new owners. Be sure to go to the black market and show them to others. Even broken swords are not allowed to be sold publicly. Also, you can make friends with swordsmiths. They will have unexpected treasures in their hands. This is not easy. Each swordsmith has his eyes high, and so many people are fawning over him. They don’t care.”
Tang Zhao nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand."
Ping Jiangqiu took another look at the information and said: "Although the Prosecution Division is tyrannical and domineering, they are concerned with earthly matters. They focus on eradicating the devil's caves and do not go to the front line. They can only be regarded as a second-tier team, and they may not be rich. You Look at this guy, he is a Sanren at a young age, he can be considered a genius, right? He is just a heavy swordsman, he is not even a swordsman."
Tang Zhao followed and looked at it. Ping Jiangqiu had already turned to the front. On the third page after the execution, it was a portrait of a woman. "You see, this woman is also a Sanren, but she is a swordsman. It means that she has found her sword. As long as she The sword's heart reaches the state of 'metal and stone are open', and he immediately becomes a swordsman. This kid is still far away. A heavy swordsman can only use heavy magic weapons, and it is better to use magic weapons to fight. There is no need to write it down in particular, it is all Now that we are all scattered, who doesn’t have a heavy sword? If you take your broken wooden sword and learn the art of two-handed sword control, you can be called a heavy swordsman."
He smiled again and said: "By the way, you are the sword wielder of Quan Jian. As long as you use the power of Quan Jian well, it will be a piece of cake for you to beat him."
Tang Zhao just felt incredible - his martial arts was so different from Si Liyu's, how could he even or surpass him with just a sword? This sword is too important.
This is a world where great power belongs to itself, but is it also a world that relies heavily on external things?
Pingjiang Qiu said: "The Prosecution Department regards you as a secret weapon, otherwise you should be listed with 'Swordsman' after your name, ranking before Si Liyu."
Tang Zhao waved his hand and said, "How can I compare with Teacher Si? It's good not to attract attention."
Ping Jiangqiu flipped through it casually and said: "Actually, you can go to the front row. I said the inspection department is not rich in manpower, right? The chief swordsman, the deputy spirit officer, and behind them are the swordsmen. Then there are some heavy swordsmen who make up for the number. What's the point? At least you didn't get mixed up with the light swordsmen. If you could become a qualified swordsman, you would be ranked fourth among this group of people, maybe the top three."
Tang Zhao was a bit deceived by what he said. He knew what level he was. Just because he had a sword, he was ranked in the top three in the team. Is this reliable?
He said cautiously: "Isn't this team good?"
Ping Jiangqiu snorted, curled his lips and said: "Just...so-so. Mainly, this is a small devil's cave, the range is only ten miles, and these people are enough. Look at the potential dangers listed later, they are all rotten fish and shrimps ? The local martial arts community, the local tycoons in the county, and the random people passing by, the Holy Moon Sect is still the same. When the time comes, a few heavy swordsmen will sweep the outside, and you guys will go in and sweep it, it should be enough."
Tang Zhao heard from his tone that it seemed that the inspector's strength was not that bad. He had just been too disparaging. He said: "Mr. Ping, have you finished reading? Let me take a look?"
Ping Jiangqiu threw the information to him and said: "Let's take a look. Mainly look at the part in the Demon Cave in front. The introduction is quite comprehensive. I know you think you are not good at martial arts. In fact, martial arts are useful in fighting in the world, and killing demons and evil spirits. Rely on the power of the sword. They will definitely let you go into the demon cave to eliminate demons, and you don’t have to worry about the fighting outside. Just look at the demons more and you will know better."
Tang Zhao thanked him, then sat by the lake and opened the information.
Ping Jiangqiu suddenly showed a strange look, as if he noticed something unusual, but as if nothing had happened, he slowly opened a can of time.
Tang Zhao finally read this material from the beginning.
The information in this tome is indeed very detailed, with pictures and texts, and densely packed with small characters. If you read it outside with the faint light of candles, you will feel dizzy after just one or two pages. Reading under the open lake light and sky, it feels natural and refreshing. different.
The first half of the book is devoted to introducing the Demon Cave, speculating on the type, scale, environment, possible monsters, etc. of the Demon Cave from the weather, terrain, omens, and comparison of previous Demon Caves.
This part was written very professionally, with maps, data, and many professional words. Tang Zhao had a hard time reading it.
Fortunately, he had experience in chewing tung flowers to attract the phoenix, so he didn't panic. It’s not that the two have anything in common, but after that experience, I felt at ease when I saw an article full of unfamiliar words.
Ignore the things you don't understand, there are still things you can understand.
"Demon Cave: Jie Ze. Classified as a water type Demon Cave, small in scale."
To this day, because the Demon Cave has not yet arrived, everything is speculation and the name is temporary.
"October 16, a radius of ten miles."
Xue Mansion extends for ten miles and is less than five miles away from Black Spider Villa. If the impact is larger, the villa will be in danger.
I don’t know if everyone in the villa knows about this danger, but why do they feel that everyone is busy with their own things and not afraid.
"Since September, the Yin Qi has been permeating the air, wild beasts are rampant, and the residents have been eroded by the Yin Qi... Omen: The river has dried up? The well water has dried up?"
Tang Zhao immediately thought of the deep ditch in the ginkgo forest. It was said that it was a river before?
So is that a strange sign from the Demon Cave?
Yin Qi erosion... Xue Daxia is so old and weak. Is it because of Yin Qi erosion?
But why didn't he leave?
"It is speculated that the output of the Demon Cave is ninth grade. That should be the lowest, right? There is a possibility that the sword species is contained... is there?"
