A glimmer of light floated in Mu Wanyan's eyes, and the wind gently blew a few strands of messy hair on her forehead. She smiled and said, "Three days later, Mu Wanyan will come to challenge!"
When the man in white saw Mu Wanyan finish speaking, he turned around and left. He couldn't help but look at her graceful back and whispered: "Jimo Flower Master - Mu Wanyan, what a powerful woman!"
Suddenly his hands slipped and he fell from the wall, stumbling away in a hurry.
Mu Wanyan got on her horse and was about to ride away when suddenly the white horse raised its legs and neighed, and a daredevil rushed out from nowhere and opened his hands to block her face.
Mu Wanyan narrowed her cold eyes and frowned: "Aren't you the guy just now? Do you want to blackmail someone again?"
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! It's just a misunderstanding! Your Majesty, Qin Bai, come to see the Jimo Flower Master!" Qin Bai clasped his hands and bowed to him respectfully.
Mu Wanyan laughed and said, "You actually know who I am?"
Qin Bai smiled awkwardly, rubbed his sore butt, pointed to the wall and said, "You were fighting with the people from the Holy Sword Pavilion inside just now. I was lying on the wall watching, so I know who the girl is!"
"Oh! Then why are you blocking my way?"
"That's right, I'm here to ask for a sword for my master..."
"I know, I heard you say it just now when we were in the teahouse."
"I thought that the swords made by the Holy Sword Pavilion were the best in the world today. Who would have thought that the world is so big that there would be someone as powerful as you, Lord Jimo Flower! I see that the Ye Tang Shengxue in your hand is really extraordinary. It can actually defeat the Holy Sword." There are many famous swords in the Sword Pavilion, so I would like to ask the girl to forge swords for my master!"
Mu Wanyan looked at Qin Bai and said, "Forging swords from me is not cheap. Besides, the contest between me and the Holy Sword Pavilion is not over yet. Didn't you hear just now? The Lord of the Holy Sword Pavilion, Dongfeng Ye, has another sword. And it was specially made to deal with me. In three days, I want to see how powerful he is, the master of the Holy Sword Pavilion, and whether he can make a sword more powerful than mine! Then you can choose who to give it to you. Master, let’s forge a sword!”
Qin Bai stood there for a moment, stunned. During this moment, Mu Wanyuan had already galloped away.
"Hey-girl! Girl!"
Qin Bai wanted to say something more, but Mu Wanyan had already ridden away on her white horse, like a green smoke floating away, free and uninhibited, as if there was nothing in this world that could trap her anymore.
At nightfall, jackdaws crow strangely. Qin Bai felt aggrieved, hugged his bag and saluted, walked on the road, and finally arrived at what people called Yuezhan Temple.
He looked up at the top of the dilapidated temple. A bright moon hung in the dark blue sky, and a few stars flickered carelessly, as if they would fall from the dark blue sky the next moment.
Qin Bai walked into Yuezhan Temple and saw a white horse tied to the mahogany pillar of the temple door. The white horse also cleverly raised its head and glanced sideways at him.
He was overjoyed: "White Horse! Why are you here? So your master is also here?"
He never expected that Mu Wanyan would choose to stay in the dilapidated temple, and happily walked in with her baggage in her arms. Sure enough, in the middle of the dilapidated temple, there was a woman in Tsing Yi sitting with a straight back. She was reaching out to fold firewood, and the pile of burning firewood was sitting there. There was a faint smell of grilled fish coming from the burning fire.
"Miss Mu! Why are you here too!" Qin Bai was overjoyed and squatted in front of her holding a navy blue bundle.
"You...you grilled fish in the temple! What a sin!" Qin Bai pointed at the two grilled fish and exclaimed.
Mu Wanyan tilted her head and glanced at him sideways, and asked, "Are you following me?"
Qin Bai thought to himself, everything really follows its master, and the white horse looked at him with the same look as Mu Wanyan, with a bit of contempt and a bit of arrogance.
He hurriedly explained: "Of course not, I don't have money to stay, so I came to stay in a ruined temple!"
Mu Wanyan was puzzled: "You came to the Holy Sword Pavilion to buy a sword, but you don't have money to stay in an inn?"
Qin Bai sighed: "My master is right, wealth should not be revealed. Someone touched my money bag while I was on the way..."
Mu Wanyan chuckled: "Hahaha! It must be after drinking tea!"
「
You...how do you know? ! "Qin Bai's eyes widened and he looked at her in disbelief.
She smiled crookedly again: "I also knew it must be after meeting Granny Wang!"
"Who is Granny Wang?"
"That's the guy who stopped my horse and bumped into porcelain!"
Qin Bai thought about it carefully and realized that his money bag really seemed to have disappeared at that time. He suddenly realized: "No wonder after you left, the old woman pulled me hard and asked me to pay for her medical expenses! It turned out that she took the opportunity to take away my money bag. ! Sigh... I am so kind and my kindness is not rewarded!"
Mu Wanyan chuckled, then lowered her eyes at the bundle he held tightly in his arms, and asked, "Won't you take some money from the bundle given by your master for accommodation?"
"No... no, of course not!"
When Mu Wanyan saw Qin Bai's expression changed drastically, she remembered that during the day at the teahouse, when people mentioned his baggage, he also looked so nervous, so she thought of teasing him.
So he deliberately asked: "Qin Bai, what exactly is wrapped in this baggage of yours? It looks so light!"
Qin Bai said: "My master said that the things inside are priceless treasures. Any swordsmith who sees them will be moved by them, but if they are given to others, they are worthless."
After hearing this, Mu Wanyan became interested immediately. She stroked her cheek with one hand and stared at him and asked, "Oh? What on earth is that? There is no one around, so why don't you take it out for me to see!"
Qin Bai suddenly became alert: "No, no... no!"
"You're lying! You're bragging! Humph! I don't think you have anything good at all!"
Mu Wanyan was immediately intrigued by this silly boy. What could possibly make a swordsmith's heart flutter? She still wanted to see something today, so she deliberately used words to irritate this stupid boy.
When Qin Bai said this, he hugged the bundle tighter.
Mu Wanyan thought to herself, who is the owner of this thing? How can he trust such a stupid guy to buy a sword?
So he said: "Hmph! Anyway, I will definitely defeat Dongfeng Ye in three days. By then, the thing in your arms will not be mine? But! I may not be willing to forge swords for you by then! I am a person with a bad temper. But it stinks so much that when your temper comes up, I won’t care whether you are a daughter of gold, silver, or the all-powerful treasure!"
When Qin Bai heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly opened the bag, and then said to Mu Wanyan: "Miss Mu, don't be angry, I'll just show it to you, but you have to promise me that if you win the competition, you will definitely I want to build the most powerful sword in the world for my master!"
Mu Wanyan nodded, thinking that this little fool was quite easy to deceive.
Qin Bai carefully opened the navy blue baggage. Mu Wanyan's eyes shone with anticipation, but she didn't expect that there was still baggage inside. In this way, she opened the seventh layer of baggage, and then she saw that it was wrapped inside. A piece of black stuff.
She said in surprise: "That's it?"
Qin Bai immediately nodded and said, "Yeah! That's it!"
Mu Wanyan frowned her slender brows and carefully looked at the black mass, which looked like iron but not iron, like a big ball of charcoal.
She added: "What is this? Why do you say that all swordsmiths will regard it as a treasure when they see it?"
Qin Bai expressed confusion:
"Miss Mu, as a swordsmith, you don't know about this thing? This is called the Flame Turtle, a rare treasure in the world. It is a mythical beast that can only be found in volcanoes! This turtle is in a state of turtle breath all year round. It is like a black stone that only wakes up once in a thousand years."
"After waking up, scorching flames will continue to be sprayed from the mouth for seven days and seven nights, and then they will enter the turtle breath state again, and so on. When people forge weapons, they only need to put the flame turtle into the fire , there is no need to add firewood to the furnace, it will keep burning. Not only can it adjust the temperature according to the weapons being cast, but the weapons it casts are even a hundred times harder than black iron!"
"Oh? That's really good stuff!"
After Qin Bai finished speaking, he picked up the black thing and put it on the fire.
I saw that after the thing was heated, the patterned totems on the turtle's back appeared, and those totems all emitted red light. After a while, honeycomb-shaped flames appeared on the turtle's back, and the flames burned higher and higher, causing The entire Moon Zen Temple is getting hotter and hotter.
Qin Bai picked up the grilled fish that was roasting next to the fire and put it on the flame turtle. The flames on the turtle's back suddenly became smaller. As he said, this thing can be changed according to the items on the turtle's back. The size of the fire and the temperature can be controlled very well, so that she doesn't have to worry about whether the fire is small or large when forging.
Mu Wanyan only felt that the Flame Turtle in front of her was very good. She thought that if she had it in her bag, it would not only be convenient for making swords in the future, but also suitable for walking around the rivers and lakes, burning fires and grilling fish, so she said: "Qin Bai , you are really good, baby, I like it very much!"
When Qin Bai saw Mu Wanyan's eyes gleaming with evil, he hurriedly handed the grilled fish in his hand to her, then took out the wooden stick on the side and pushed the burning flame turtle aside, leaving the flame turtle behind the fire. The fire burning on the turtle's back was immediately extinguished, and it turned back into that black mass.
Mu Wanyan held the grilled fish in both hands and stared at the boy in front of her as he packed up the Flame Turtle in layers.
After finishing, he hugged her tightly and stared at her warily: "Miss Mu, we have agreed that after three days, if you are better than the Master of the Holy Sword Pavilion, I will give this Flame Turtle to You, you have to build the most powerful sword in the world for my master, preferably one that can beat Ye Tang Shengxue in your hand!"
Mu Wanyan stared: "Better than Ye Tang Shengxue? Your ambition is really not small, but if you have a turtle shell like you, maybe you can do it!"
Qin Bai nodded with great joy. Suddenly, the ground inside Yuechan Temple began to vibrate, as if something was growing out of the ground.
Qin Bai's face changed with fright, and he hurriedly approached Mu Wanyan and said tremblingly: "Mu...Miss Mu, when I came here, I heard that there was a white snake suppressed in Yuechan Temple! In order to suppress this snake, White Snake, all the monks in Yuechan Town exhausted their magic power and died. Could...could that legend be true?"
"How is that possible?!" After Mu Wanyan finished speaking, she also carefully pulled out Ye Tang Shengxue.
"With all this wealth and wealth, how can I get my turn?"
