This scarlet sword is placed on the stone platform.
The hilt of the sword is made of the green steel used by several people when they forged the 'Qingyang' sword, to prevent the person using the sword from touching the vermilion sword body and being infected by the sword's poison.
On one side is a sword scabbard prepared by several people. It was carved from the cold green iron that Li just brought back from Cangzhou. The sword has a red body and should be matched with a green scabbard.
While several sword-making elders were admiring this masterpiece, a sword-making disciple rushed to report: "Several elders, the sect master and his party are back."
Li Yi and Mei Jun were both shocked when they heard this. Mei Jun nudged Li Yi with his elbow and winked at him. Upon seeing this, Li Yi understood, turned to look at the great elder Li Gang and said: " Brother, we used meteorite iron to forge swords without permission. You were the first to bring this up. Now that the sect leader is back, you have to be at the front. If asked, you have to make the decision!"
Hearing this, Li Gang frowned and said, "Well... ok, before I started making the sword, I agreed that I would bear the scolding."
The three elderly elders were as scared as some children who had made mistakes.
"Let's go, let's discuss things in the front hall." Li Gang stood up, walked in front, and led a few people out of the Sword-Forging Peak.
Hanging Sword Pavilion.
lobby.
In the attic, the leader of the Li Sect was sitting on the main seat, Li Bei, the second was Ruan Zhong, the great elder of Sword Shou, and the third elder of Sword Shou Li Zhiyun was sitting next to him.
As for Wei Changyin, he has gone back to Zhuxi in the back mountain to cultivate himself.
Standing next to Li Bai were Li Luo, Zhou Xiaoyi, An Ning and other disciples.
Several sword-making elders filed in and sat on the chairs at the bottom on the right.
Li Junyin, the second elder guarding the sword, and Li Kun, the young sect master, took people to the Xuantian Sect in the southwest to rescue Kong Ge, the chess doctor, so there was no one sitting on the second seat on the left.
"I returned safely from this trip. Elder Lao Zhiyun will take care of all the affairs of the sect." Li Bai nodded and raised the tea to Li Zhiyun, then pursed his lips and took a sip as a sign of respect.
Li Zhiyun raised his hand, proudly waved his sleeves and robe, drank it all in one gulp, and replied: "It is a matter of course that we should do what we do within our duties."
Li Bei turned around and looked at the sword-making elders again. He felt that their faces were a little pale and something was wrong. He frowned and said, "Elder Li Gang? What are you doing?"
Li Gang saw that they had secretly made a sword of meteorite iron and could not hide it. He had to stand up, bowed to Li Bei and clasped his fists:
"Back to the sect leader, we three old guys saw the meteorite iron you brought back at Sword Making Peak and couldn't bear the temptation. Over the past few days, we have been making swords out of it without telling you..."
When Li Bei heard this, he and Wei Changyin were both poisoned because they came into contact with the meteorite. In the past few days, they had been busy trying to understand the poison in their bodies. Fortunately, they even made swords out of it.
Li Bai slapped the table and said angrily: "Nonsense!!"
Seeing that the sect master was angry, Li Gang hurriedly bowed and said: "A few of us saw that the material of meteorite iron is very good, so we couldn't hold it back... Please punish us, sect master!"
Hearing this, Li Bei was angry, but because they were all venerable elders and they didn't dare to get angry too much, he had to endure it, frowned and asked, "Is the fire poison in your body okay? "
Li Gang hurriedly replied: "It's okay for the time being. We heard news from the sect that the sect master received Luo Yao, the great disciple of Wuji Taoist, to treat his illness in Luokong Mountain. He has recovered. That's why he dared to make swords... ..”
After hearing this, Li Bei sighed, frowned and said, "It looks like I have to go to Luokong Mountain. Uncle Gang, Uncle Gang, at your age... I don't know what to do." It's better to tell you." Elder Li Gang, the sword-making elder, was close to his sixties, and he was Li Bei's biological uncle. Li Bei couldn't say much, so he could only murmur to one side.
Ruan Zhong heard this and asked curiously: "Elder Li Gang, has it become a sword?"
When Li Gang heard this, he smiled, but he forgot about the poisonous fire on his body. He curled his lips and gave a proud look, and replied: "A good sword can cut iron and break stone. The blade of the sword is extremely poisonous and stained with blood." The poison is definitely unmatched by the other seven swords."
Ruan Zhong frowned and said: "The sword is extremely poisonous? This... Sect Master, do you see this sword?"
Hearing this, Li Bei replied: "This sword contains poison. The use of poison has always been frowned upon by the world. I'm afraid this sword cannot be used."
Li Gang said from one side: "The meteorite iron used in this sword is of high quality. It took a long time to melt in a fierce fire. It seems to be stronger and more useful than other swords. In terms of sharpness alone, it is also better than other swords." There are more than a few swords, but if you don’t use them, it won’t be a waste.”
Hearing this, Li Bei looked at Li Gang's displeased look and replied: "Uncle Gang, this sword is a good sword, but even the ten sects will not be able to produce this sword! If they bump into each other, The opponent will either use martial arts or take his life!"
Ruan Zhong echoed from one side: "The sect master is right. In my opinion, this sword is still sealed in the sword pavilion and reserved for guarding the mountain and hiding the sword. What do you think?"
Li Gang was about to say something, but he saw that the sect leader Li Bei had a bad look on his face and closed his mouth again.
Li Zhiyun stood up and said apologetically: "I have been busy taking care of the affairs of the front mountain these days, but I forgot to go to the Sword-making Peak for a walk. Speaking of which, the three sword-making elders secretly moved the meteorite iron. , it should be my dereliction of duty, please punish me."
Hearing this, Li Bei waved his hand. Now was the time to employ people. After thinking about it, he replied: "Elder Zhiyun, it's not your fault. I know Uncle Gang's temper. With such a good piece of meteorite iron, they It would be abnormal if I didn't think of him. That's all. That's all. Now that things are like this, I won't hold anyone responsible anymore. Several elders of Zhujian Peak forged swords privately and withheld half a year's salary. Elder Zhiyun supervised them. If you fail to do so, you will be deducted one year of silver.
What do you think? Any objection? "
Li Gang and the others were secretly happy. It was just a deduction of silver. Fortunately, they did not have to be locked up in the pavilion for half a year. Such a punishment was already the lightest.
Li Zhiyun and Li Gang hurriedly bowed and replied: "The sect leader's punishment is right, we have no objection."
Libei said again:
"Right now, the top priority is to send more people to Dongxing Mountain to provide support. After all, the chess doctor Kongge got into trouble because of us, so we must rescue him as soon as possible.
As for you three elders, Luo Luo will take you to Luokong Mountain. Please ask Brother Luo Yao to help cure the fire poison in your body. Once the poison in your body is cleared, you will rush to Dongxing Mountain to support us. I I'm worried that people from the Demon Cult will be difficult to deal with.
Arrange the time and set off tomorrow. You and your party will go to Luokong Mountain to seek medical treatment. I will take my disciples to the southwest. As for the affairs within the sect, I would like to ask Elder Zhiyun to continue to take care of it. "
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyun and several sword-making elders hurriedly bowed and said, "I would like to follow the arrangement of the sect leader."
After Mei Jun, the third sword-making elder, replied, he couldn't help frowning and asked: "Then when can this red sword be sacrificed?"
After hearing this, Li Bei replied: "Wait for a while. This sword is a poison sword. Although the material is of high quality, my Li Zong has never had a famous sword that contains poison. I haven't thought of a name yet, so I will wait for it to be rescued." After returning to Chess Doctor Kong Pavilion, we all returned to Mount Lu to prepare for the sword sacrifice of this sword."
Li Gang heard that they had spent a lot of effort to complete this sword. It took them several days and nights to melt the iron alone, which was far more laborious than other swords. The sword would not be sacrificed until it was sacrificed. It was considered a birth. He was a little dissatisfied and said: "But Master, if this sword is not sacrificed, it is not considered a birth. Why go down the mountain after the sword sacrifice tomorrow..."
Hearing this, Li Bei frowned and glared at Li Gang, cursing: "Uncle Gang, I told you that this sword is extremely poisonous and cannot be used. I'm afraid it will ruin my Li Zong's reputation. You can sacrifice the sword anytime. Okay. Okay, let’s all go. I’ve had enough trouble these days and I want to take a good rest.”
Li Bai waved his hand, and with Li Luo's support, he went to the back, and everyone dispersed.
