Ying Zheng nodded slightly thoughtfully.
I really can’t believe that the ancient sword-making family has been passed down in an orderly manner for so many years, and it also came from the instructions of the Yellow Emperor.
"I have a request regarding this matter." Ji Fa's words interrupted Ying Zheng's thoughts.
"It's just the master's order." He was surprised that Ji Fa used the word "request".
Ji Fa sighed softly and said leisurely: "You also know that you are the last Tiancheng. After you, the entire Great Contemporaneity will completely end, and a new era will begin. And with that, our Tiancheng will The many secrets of the pulse must also be completely hidden.”
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Master, do you mean that this ancient sword-making craft must also be hidden?"
"That's right." Ji Fa nodded, "Since you want to destroy 'my weapon', then hide this ancient smelting technology together, but..."
"The ancient sword-making family has not appeared in the world for a long time. However, according to the quantity agreed with Yajuan, there is still a final sword that has not been made."
Ying Zheng suddenly remembered that Yajui had mentioned before that in addition to the Xuanyuan Sword with Yajuan's face, Huangdi also promised to make nine peerless swords to thank the nine divine beasts who guarded the Jiuding.
"Does Master know where they live in seclusion?"
Ji Fa took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Ying Zheng. At the same time, he said: "There is their address in it. You need to send a confidant to contact them according to the method written in it. They will send one on their own." When people come to Qin, remember not to make any noise."
"Yes." Ying Zheng carefully took the bag, put it gently into his arms, and then asked, "Master, I wonder if there is anything different about this last sword, and what is its name?"
Ji Fa replied: "The name of the last sword is Chi Xiao. As for what's special about it, you can only ask the heir of that family."
"I understand." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "I will arrange for Meng Tian to do it."
"Well, he is a good candidate." Ji Fa said, "However, it is not a small matter to completely hide the things left by the Yellow Emperor's ancestors. Let's go to Yajuan and tell it."
Ying Zheng responded and accompanied Ji Fa to the forbidden area where Yajuan was.
Unlike before, Yaizhen was not in the lair. Xi asked the two of them to wait for a while before going to inform Yaizhen.
After a while, Yaizhen slowly crawled out from a dark and deep hole. His body was covered with mud, and his gray-headed and dusty face did not have the usual majesty.
Ying Zheng became curious and couldn't help but ask: "Senior Yajue, what are you...?"
Yaizhen was excited, shaking off the dirt on his body, and said: "The batch of Tai Sui prepared for you has finally hatched, and I have been guarding it day and night these days."
"Oh? That's very good." Ji Fa said happily.
Ying Zheng smiled on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart. After all, he had followed the path of Tai Sui and had no good impression of this unknown creature.
However, Ying Zheng's respect for Ya Sui came from the bottom of his heart. He quickly stepped forward, wiped the dust from Yao Sui's body with his sleeves, and at the same time stated the purpose of his visit.
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, Yaizhen snorted softly: "You only built this magic weapon a few days ago. Why do you want to destroy it again? You are not afraid of trouble."
Ying Zheng said with a slight regret: "I also like this magic weapon, but I can't be so quick and ignore the safety of the people in future generations. We have decided to bury the forging craftsmanship left by the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor in the royal palace." The mausoleum will never see the light of day again."
Yaizhen looked indifferent, but Xi behind him raised his eyes, and even his pupils shrank together.
But this change was only fleeting, and neither Ji Fa nor Ying Zheng noticed it.
"You are the successor of the Yellow Emperor. You have the final say on what you want to do. As long as you don't melt the Xuanyuan Sword, you can do whatever you want." Yasui made his intention clear.
The corner of Xi's mouth twitched, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't make any sound.
After chatting for a few more words, Ying Zheng and Ji Fa said goodbye and left.
Xi sent the two of them far away and had no intention of going back, but not far ahead was the boundary of the forbidden area.
Xi stopped and said to Ji Fa: "King Zhou, I would like to take King Qin around to inspect the changes in the terrain, is that okay?"
Ji Fa noticed that Chu Xi seemed to have something to say to Ying Zheng, and it was not easy to stop him, so he smiled and said, "Then I will go back first. You two should be careful on the way."
Watching Ji Fa cross the border of the forbidden area, Ying Zheng jumped on Xi's back and happily followed Xi as he ran up the mountain.
The pleasure of riding on a divine beast and running around quickly is much greater than riding a horse.
Xi was different from before. She talked a lot more. She was always looking for topics to talk to Ying Zheng along the way. Although Ying Zheng was a little strange, he still kept talking to Xi.
After wandering around for a long time, Xi finally slowed down and said in a low voice: "Prince Qin, do you really plan to melt down all the 'I's'?"
As if he didn't hear Chu Xi's slightly sad tone, Ying Zheng said calmly: "Since it has been decided, it will not be changed, although I also feel it is a pity."
Xi stopped, sighed and said, "Can't I get rid of it without refining it?"
Ying Zheng shook his head gently: "Even if you don't practice now, you will practice it later. It's better to avoid causing trouble."
After a moment of silence, Xi said again: "Can you leave half of it...?"
At this point, Ying Zheng finally heard Xi Na's somewhat unusual emotions, and quickly jumped to the ground and asked, "What do you mean by this, senior?"
Xi curled up her hind legs and sat on the ground, her eyes a little blurry: "On top of those magic weapons, there is my totem!"
Only then did Ying Zheng understand what Xi was thinking. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately smiled: "I thought it was some big deal. If senior cares about this, I will engrave senior's totem on other weapons."
Xi didn't speak, just shook her head.
"What's wrong, senior?" Ying Zheng asked, "The number of 'my weapons' is not large, and they are not shown to outsiders. Most of the Qin army have never seen them, so it is no pity."
"That's different." Faced with Ying Zheng's consolation, Xi slowly closed her eyes, "I have never seen your ancestor Huangdi, but every time I see the Xuanyuan Sword made by him, I feel itchy. I can't bear it, why, why is there only the face of Yaizhen engraved on such a mighty golden sword?"
Ying Zheng: "..."
No one thought that Xi, who had always been very submissive to Yaizhen, was secretly jealous of Yaizhen because of the imprint on the Xuanyuan Sword.
I heard Xi continue to say: "Later, Yaizhen made a request to Huangdi, which was to build a peerless sword for the other eight guardians, but there was nothing wrong with me alone."
"It wasn't until you found the tortoise shell that recorded 'my weapon' that I asked you to engrave my totem on this divine weapon. It hasn't even been two years yet, so why are they all destroyed?"
From Xi's words, Ying Zheng could hear endless loneliness and unwillingness.
"Senior Xi," Ying Zheng said solemnly, "I think Han Fei is right. If this 'my weapon' is left to future generations, it will inevitably be coveted by bad people, causing harm to the people. I will never allow this to happen."
"Han Fei? Who is that?" Xi raised her pupils and asked anxiously.
Ying Zheng replied: "He is a young master from South Korea. I have invited him to Xianyang and want him to succeed Lord Changping to govern the government."
"It seems that he is a talented person who can be entrusted with important tasks by the King of Qin." Xi Leng said.
Faced with Xi's ridicule, Ying Zheng changed the subject: "Senior, in the near future I will find the family that has forged the magic weapon for generations and make a Red Sky Sword. How about engraving the totem of my senior on the sword?" "
"Chixiao?" Xi narrowed her eyes and asked, "Did King Zhou ask you to make this sword?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Xi raised his voice and let out a deep laugh: "Don't amuse me anymore. The other eight swords have been made long ago. The remaining one is used to replace the Xuanyuan Sword. It needs to be handed over." What does this have to do with me?"
"Oh?" Ying Zheng said in surprise, "I haven't heard Master mention this."
Xi stood up, shook her four hooves, and said, "Forget it, let's go back."
Judging from its appearance, it seemed that it didn't care anymore, so Ying Zheng nodded, jumped on Xi's back again, and returned to the boundary of the forbidden area.
Looking at Ying Zheng's back, Xi slapped her claws on the ground hard, and a few sharp fangs were exposed on her lips.
"Han Fei..." The resentment just now seemed to turn into hatred, Xi turned around and disappeared into the forest.
When Ying Zheng returned to the camp, it was already dark.
After a peaceful night's sleep, Ying Zheng said goodbye to Ji Fa early the next morning and returned to Xianyang.
Riding on horseback, Ying Zheng took out the cloth bag Ji Fa gave him yesterday and took out the cloth inside.
There are a few words written on the front, which seem to be code words for joints, and they look a bit awkward.
On the back is a map, with a few lines of small characters next to it recording clear directions.
This place is located to the east of a deep mountain in the southwest of Wei State.
After remembering the location, Ying Zheng handed the bag to Meng Tian beside him.
"Follow the route above and find this place. If you find a family, use the secret code to communicate. Then find the person in charge and say, 'Heavenly inheritance, borrow the ancient magic weapon.'" Ying Zheng lowered his voice and said .
Meng Tian carefully took the bag, put it in his arms, and said, "Then I will bring the magic weapon back, right?"
Ying Zheng smiled, shook his head and said: "What you bring back are not magic weapons, but people who can make magic weapons. Remember, you only bring two guards with you. Don't reveal your identity on the way. Go and come back quickly." "
"Then what if we can't find anyone?" Meng Tian asked.
Ying Zheng said: "If you can't find it, come back first and I will make plans later. Bring some food and grass and set off directly."
Meng Tian took the order, picked the two most trusted guards, and ran to the southeast.
Approaching Xianyang, I saw a group of sergeants outside the east gate nervously guarding the city gate. The city gate was also semi-closed, and no people could enter or exit.
Ying Zheng suddenly felt bad. It seemed that something had happened in the city, so he quickly sent someone to find out.
The captain led by Tan Ma General was brought over.
The captain knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, during the ugly time last night, a ferocious beast suddenly emerged from the city. It looked ferocious and very tough. After biting Mr. Han Fei, it ran out of the city. The whole city is currently on alert."
"What?!" Ying Zheng said in shock, "How is Han Fei doing now?"
The captain did not dare to raise his head and said tremblingly: "The injury is quite serious, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'm going to die soon."
"Ah...?!" Ying Zheng almost fell off his horse, "Quick, take me over and have a look."
