Hearing the swordsmith, Tang Zhao said: "Isn't he a talisman swordsmith? Why did he become a swordsmith again?"
For a moment, Sister Xue's expression was a little awkward, but she quickly said: "I am a Talisman Sword Master. Swordsmithing is the Talisman Sword Master's goal, just like a swordsman's goal is to become a swordsman."
She thought about it and felt that it was a bit exaggerated, and said: "At least comparable to a swordsman. But a true swordsmith master is by no means inferior to a swordsman. Every swordsmith grew up as a talisman swordsman."
Speaking of swordsman, Tang Zhao thought of Ping Jiangqiu hiding in a jar and throwing notes out, and thought: Swordsman? Not very powerful either.
Sister Xue said: "Everyone wants to find their own sword, want to be a swordsman or a swordsman. But where do swords come from? Did a sword fall from the sky? Of course not, it was us... it was made by the swordsmith. of."
"Only sword seeds fall from the sky. Of course you have heard of sword seeds, but you have definitely never seen them. It is a mysterious and mysterious treasure. Ordinary people cannot save it, touch it, or even see it or catch it. It is a forged sword. The master put it away, tested its direction, and based on the results, he selected various heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the Demon Cave, Cave Paradise, and outside the territory. He used mysterious sword-making techniques and countless talismans to refine them, preserve the spirituality, increase the power, and cast them into swords. .”
"If the ancestors had not discovered the art of sword-making, this world and this people would have been destroyed by evil disasters and the invasion of demons. There were sword-smiths first and then swordsmen. So they are swordsmen, and we are swordsmen, one generation higher than them. Son."
Tang Zhao suddenly realized that he had heard Ping Jiangqiu's description, but Ping Jiangqiu talked about swords from the perspective of a swordsman, which was different from the perspective of a swordsmith, and said: "The Talisman Sword Master..."
Sister Xue said: "A talisman sword master is a swordsman who masters talisman styles. With swords, there are peerless masters in the world, but the battlefield outside the territory is so big, there are so many demon caves, and there are sporadic disasters such as phantoms and ferocious beasts. How can you just rely on swordsmen?" Is it enough? So the old national master created the talisman. He extended magical powers, sword power, swordsmanship, and swordsmanship through the talisman to create array weapons, magic weapons, magic weapons, and even spiritual treasures. Then there were heavy swordsmen in the world. Wait for the profession. Only ordinary people can compete with demons, and only then can the world maintain stability."
"The swordsmiths back then were all extremely talented. They had no assistance other than sword-making skills. They relied on strong inspiration and precious materials to forcibly forge swords. It was extremely rare. However, with the advent of the Talisman, children with high inspiration and talent can now When learning the talisman styles, you first become a talisman sword master, learn five talisman styles, and then slowly become a swordsmith. You have a clear path like a swordsman. Even if you don't have the opportunity to forge swords, you can create powerful spiritual treasures, and even become a ruler of the country, The treasure of the cave, that is also the pinnacle of pinnacles.”
Tang Zhao asked: "Such a strong person is rare, right?"
Sister Xue said: "Strong men are rare everywhere. They say that there are swordsmen in the world, swordsmen in the world, and swordsmen in heaven. You must have seen swordsmen. Have you seen swordsmen? Have you seen swordsmen?"
I have seen.
Needless to say, Tang Zhao asked: "Master Xue... is your father the swordsmith?"
Sister Xue said: "My father must have the ability to forge swords, but the opportunity is rare... But swordsmiths not only forge swords, but also reforge old swords, reforge broken swords, and rejuvenate ancient swords... Yunzhou, you can't find a better swordsmith than him."
Tang Zhao understands everything.
Sister Xue said: "It's hard to find swordsmiths. The inspiration requirement is much higher than that of swordsmen. Swordsmen can also be trained through acquired practice, while swordsmiths are all innate. They also need to be mentally strong and have good understanding. . There are always people who think that people with high inspiration are smart, but this is not true. Many children with high inspiration are very dull-witted. People need to be smart, have strong inspiration, be able to focus, have perseverance, be willing to study, be sensitive and eager to learn, and finally To be good, you also need to be knowledgeable and aesthetically pleasing, and I don’t know how much effort it takes to cultivate them.”
"For example, my Zhuoyu Villa is the leading talisman sword master sect in Yunzhou. There are one hundred and eighty people in the sect, both old and young. However, the number of people who can break into the house is no more than one. Among the next generation, my father can confirm There are no more than ten talented disciples, and the rest are all casual attendants or registered disciples."
Speaking of this, Sister Xue curled her lips. The reason why Zhuoyu Villa has so few disciples is not only that it is difficult to find geniuses, but also because many geniuses’ first choice is to be swordsmen. Most of those registered disciples were small-time individuals who had no chance, so they settled for the next best thing and came to be Talisman Sword Masters. Not to mention that these disciples don't have such great talents, even if they do, they won't train them with all their strength. If one day they have the opportunity to become swordsmen, they will all run away.
But you can't say this, as if you say it, the Talisman Sword Master is really inferior to the Swordsman.
"I can say that my father is not really satisfied with any of his current disciples. Including me, but also... He has always wanted to cultivate a real swordsmith, and spent half his life's hard work and Zhuoyu Villa's many years of savings to cultivate A strong man who can influence the fate of the country and even lead an era."
"Not only is my father looking forward to cultivating a successor, but the whole Yunzhou community is eagerly waiting for a real swordsmith in the local area. Only then will Yunzhou be able to compete with the Central Plains, and the local individual people will not have to go south to look for opportunities. He is still looked down upon as a border barbarian, but he stays in his hometown and shows off his skills. By then, the swordsmith can even become the spiritual leader of the Yunzhou swordsmen."
At this point, her intentions were clear, and she almost patted Tang Zhao and said, "The decision is yours."
Tang Zhao was a little moved by what she said. After all, he also had a dream of opening a big group, making a lot of money, and inheriting Mr. Chen's legacy. Fu Sword Master seems to be more able to realize his dream.
But he also has a swordsman dream, which is the purest dream that he has buried in his heart since he was a child. He has fantasized about it countless times. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a complex.
Putting the two dreams together, he still leaned towards the swordsman.
Looking at his expression, Sister Xue roughly guessed it. In fact, the young men all had similar choices, and they all wanted to be swordsmen. Of course, Zhuoyu Villa is also proud. Usually, the little kids who are eating from the basin and looking at the bowl will be kicked out. Even if they beg to come back in the future, they will all be registered as disciples. But who calls Tang Zhao extraordinary?
She continued: "The ancestor once said that the swordsmith and the swordsman are one and the same. The most perfect swordsman must hold the sword he forged. Why does the swordsman often lose the heart of the sword? It is either a bottleneck or the sword withdraws, and the jade and the stone are both destroyed. The sword died together and became the sword of power? They were mismatched at the beginning, and they reluctantly matched up, and finally drifted apart and fell apart. Many people say that swordsmen and swords are like husband and wife. How can there be so many gods and immortals? The real sword should be his own child That's right. No, it should be me, another self shaped by my own hands. The appearance is the same as the spirit. That is called the unity of man and sword."
Tang Zhao thought this metaphor was quite scary.
But he asked more excitedly: "So you can actually want them all?"
Sister Xue said "uh" and said: "Yes. It's just a matter of priority. You are still young now, so it is very important to make a decision. Not only what to study, but also where to study. It's -"
She pointed at the painting, "Should I study in the Immortal Cave, or the boring, bloody and depressing training camp?"
"Um……"
Tang Zhao sighed and said, "Me too..."
Sister Xue stopped him and said, "It doesn't matter. You won't be able to make such a big decision in a while. Just stay with me for a few days first."
Tang Zhao said: "Ah? I still have something to do."
Sister Xue said: "I know. Isn't it just a few days? You can practice whatever you want here these days. You can eat well, sleep well, and have everything. I will accompany you to the Devil's Cave then."
Tang Zhao said: "But when things happen, there are still preparations..."
Sister Xue said: "Let the people from the Inspection Department come here to find you. Anyway, you are also a surprise soldier. What do you call a surprise soldier when you set off from the base camp? At least you have to ambush in advance and kill all the troops from the slant to be called a surprise soldier." "
Tang Zhao sighed and said: "I still want to go back. Sister, didn't you say that being a swordsmith requires concentration? For now, my priority is to focus on preparing for the Demon Cave. How can I focus on the things in front of me when I am restless here? If you are not attentive and half-hearted on the battlefield, you may die before leaving the battle, and then your future will be useless. I think you swordsmiths don’t want such impetuous people."
Sister Xue looked at him quietly and realized that this kind-hearted child with no temper was actually strong on the outside and strong on the inside, and had his own opinions.
After a while, she snorted softly and said, "Just don't like it. I don't want outsiders to live here. Just wait. They will take you out after they finish cleaning up, and pay for your food by the way." .Am I raising their children for nothing?"
Tang Zhao agreed and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister."
Sister Xue was a little unhappy when she left, but she didn't show it later. Instead, she showed him some introductory books.
Although Tang Zhao was interested in Fu Shi, there were only a few days left before the Devil's Cave arrived, so he felt guilty spending time on such vast knowledge, and he couldn't get into it.
Strangely enough, when he took the book from the cat's mouth and took a peek, he seized the opportunity to read it intently. But now that he was let go and asked to read it casually, he became restless and couldn't read it. It can be seen that it is a bit cheap.
But without reading this book, he has nothing to do. Sister Xue is right. The Prosecution Department must be trying to catch Wang Liang and wonder whether they will come to pick him up soon. That thing is extremely powerful. If it is not caught, once it spreads, it may be more terrifying than the devil's cave.
So he had to do something else that he had wanted to do before.
When he came outside the house, he took out the magic weapon again.
Lihuo Sword is said to be the name of the ancient sword.
When Tang Zhao grabbed the magic weapon for the first time, he felt a sense of intimacy, and a large amount of information quickly appeared in his glasses, but at that time he was only appreciating the swordsmanship and ignored it.
Grasping the sword again, the original words appeared on the glasses again.
"I found that the Yanggu sword (page 21 of the sword manual) is similar to the magic weapon, and the fit is 75%. Do you want to hold it?"
Tang Zhao chose "no" at that time.
He can hold the sword as he pleases, without help.
What if he chooses to be?
