Nangong Ruyu pointed to the blazing fire and asked, "Master, what's the secret here?"
Li Ye looked at her and smiled and said, "This is where the master forges weapons, just like how the master forged Yu'er's armor."
Li Ye took out Nalan Yu's silver long knife and placed it in the groove on the edge of the fire pool, and threw two dragon bones into it. A blue flame shot up, and the temperature instantly increased several times.
"It's so hot here and it's not fun at all. Yu'er wants to go up there and play."
Nangong Ruyu couldn't stand the high temperature, so she ran upstairs yelling.
"You play up there for a while, then go out to find Sister Xiaohua. Remember: Don't go to the winter vacation pool!" Li Ye repeatedly confessed from behind.
"Got it!" After saying this, Nangong Ruyu disappeared.
Looking at her back, Li Ye laughed. Even Mu Mu didn't seem to accompany him to forge swords back then. It turned out that none of the girls wanted to stay in such a hot and hot place.
Looking at the long sword that was gradually reddening, Li Ye picked up the iron tongs and placed it on the sword-making platform. He rolled up his sleeves and then started banging it.
Nalan Yu's long knife does not need to be recast. He only needs to add the dragon bones and forge it in the furnace, which only takes a few days.
Unlike the original casting of Qingluan and Fengming, which took a lot of effort from him.
In the end, a mouthful of blood sprayed on the sword, making it a truly painstaking work.
...
Looking at a mountain of red leaves, Li Ye dragged a bamboo chair and leaned on the stone flat outside the wooden house, with a pot of tea beside him.
Nangong Ruyu was having dinner with Xiaohua. The little guy had just learned to cook from Xiaohua and was very interested.
Li Ye, who was lying on the bamboo chair, was thinking about the pot of drunkenness he had brewed.
In the words of a wine geek, only one of the four new bottles of wine smells like drunkenness, and the other three bottles are the same as Xuantianguan's wine, with no difference.
In order to ensure the quality of the wine, the wine addict sealed the wine vat and said that he would wait until the end of spring tomorrow before opening it. By then, the wine would be the real wine.
He took the last few glasses in the wine jar to Xuantian Temple and gave Qingxu a taste, which fulfilled Qingxu's dream.
After all, when I brewed this vat of wine, I sold most of it and exchanged it for gold coins.
Thinking that his disciple had brewed a fine wine that even his old friend could not brew, he couldn't help but burst into tears after drinking two glasses of wine. He said over and over again: "This is your drunken life and dream of death, and it is also my disciple's drunken life and dream of death." !”
After saying that, he told the story about Li Ye and Mu Mu to the drunkard, and then murmured: "That was my precious disciple too, and he will never come back..."
"Only my disciple can understand the feeling of separation between life and death, and only he can create the kind of drunkenness and dream of death that even you can't create."
Qingxu felt Li Ye's pain in her heart. When she thought of Mu Mu's cute and coquettish appearance, she couldn't help but shed tears.
The drunkard didn't expect Qingxu's reaction to be so big, so he could only sigh softly: "It seems that my two old guys are lucky, and they can still receive a little guy that satisfies them before leaving.
"It's just that he felt too bitter, but he never said it in front of us." Qingxu looked at him and shook his head.
Looking at Qingxu, Jiu Chi asked: "After we leave, he will be the only one in the five regions."
Qingxu smelled the aroma of wine at the bottom of the cup, looked at him and said, "He is so young, but he has experienced your lifetime of pain. Even I can't do it."
The drunkard lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "This is his luck and his fate."
Qingxu lowered his head and continued to drink half of the glass of wine, and said: "In this life, you should be satisfied if you can see your disciples surpass yourself."
"Speaking of which, he was able to obtain your true biography. Didn't he save the life of the old man from the Nangong family by going down to the Buddha this time?"
The drunkard looked at him and said seriously.
Qingxu put the wine glass on the table and said after a moment of silence: "Both he and Mu Mu have obtained my true inheritance. The little girl Mu Mu has also learned my sword skills, which even the disciples in Xuantian Temple have not learned." Learned.”
The drunkard put away the wine jar and the wine glass, looked at him and said: "I say, no matter how much life goes by, there will always be some parting sorrows. We may leave here tomorrow in the spring, or at the latest in the summer. ."
"Even so, let's wait until next year. The little guy has gone to the back mountain right now, and he doesn't know when he will come back."
Qingxu looked at him and said.
"He said he was taking Yu'er to practice, and it will probably take a few days." Jiu Chi said with a smile, "I guess he also wants to take advantage of the fruits in the mountains this autumn and pick some more for Xiao Yu'er."
"That's true. When winter comes, there won't be anything to eat here."
"This disciple of ours is very smart. He even loves his own little disciple very much."
...
The carriage was walking on the official road, and the mountains of Xixuan Territory could already be seen.
Xia Wutong opened the curtain of the carriage window and looked up. She saw vast mountains, exactly where she and Tang Qiuyu passed by.
Mu Mu told her that this was also the place where Li Ye was ambushed by five killers.
"Mother, this is where Li Ye was ambushed by killers. Five Nascent Soul realm killers died here."
Xia Wutong blew the slightly cool autumn table and smiled lightly.
When Jiang Ruoyu heard this, she looked back at Tang Qiuyu and asked, "How old was he then?"
Tang Yuqiu looked at her and smiled: "According to his husband, Li Ye was only nine years old that year. However, he only killed five Nascent Soul realm killers with the help of Master Minghui from Prajna Temple."
"How can this be a seventh-level or eighth-level realm?"
Xia Wutong looked at his mother and added. Even now, she probably can't defeat those killers from back then.
"This is an interesting thing. I didn't expect that when he was only nine years old, he would already have the ability to kill Nascent Soul Realm killers. After all these years, I can't even imagine it."
Jiang Ruoyu looked at the two of them and smiled.
She knew very well that it was a somewhat simple matter for a practitioner in the late Nascent Soul stage to attack and kill a nine-year-old boy.
But such a simple little thing actually cost five people their lives.
Xia Wutong continued: "That guy is perverted and a monster."
Jiang Ruoyu looked at her daughter's beautiful cheeks and said with a smile, "So you like him?"
Xia Wutong blushed, looked at her and said with a smile, "Mother talks nonsense."
Since leaving the imperial city, Jiang Ruoyu has not allowed her to call her mother again. After all, she must be careful when going out.
Besides, I can't stay in the Five Realms for long.
Tang Qiuyu shook his head and said with a smile: "Our princess has grown up, and it is naturally a good thing to have someone she likes."
Jiang Ruoyu touched her black hair and said softly: "Your father has entrusted your eldest brother and you to that guy, and he is also trying his best to protect you two."
Xia Wutong was stunned, lowered his head and said, "Wutong knows."
"That's good. No matter what, the Imperial Preceptor has pacified the southern border and helped your eldest brother sit on the throne. There will never be another person like him in the five regions."
Jiang Ruoyu looked at the two of them and said seriously.
Suddenly, the guard in black who was driving the carriage stopped the carriage, turned around and said, "Empress Dowager, there is an ambush ahead, it seems they are targeting us."
What, someone from the officialdom actually came to ambush the Queen Mother of the Five Realms Dynasty, a super practitioner in the Nine Tribulations Realm?
White clouds were floating above the sky, and in the surrounding wilderness there was only the whistling of the autumn wind, and the faint sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.
On the official road fifty feet away from the carriage, there were dozens of black horses, and at a glance, there were at least fifty black-clad and masked killers on the horses.
Tang Qiuyu was the first to step off the carriage, looked at the imperial army and said, "You protect the princess without using your hands!"
The personal guard in black is the person left by the emperor to the eldest prince. The personal guard in black who came this time is also a master of the distraction realm.
Looking at the dozens of killers in front of him, Tang Qiuyu took out his Qiu Shui Wuhen.
"Wutong, give me your Fengming Sword!" Jiang Ruoyu said quietly.
Even she did not expect that her daughter's Fengming Sword would be stained with blood in her hands on such an occasion.
Xia Wutong glanced at her, knowing that he couldn't help, and gently handed his Fengming Sword to Jiang Ruoyu.
Then he took out the hand slave he carried with him and attached the iron arrow.
At this time, the bodyguards in black who were unable to take action in order to protect the princess also loaded their swords with iron arrows.
The two stood under the carriage and pointed the sword in their hands at the killer in front.
As long as the opponent charges, he will shoot out the arrows.
This is the hand slave that Li Ye ordered Nalan Yu to improve after he came back from southern Xinjiang. The current range has reached 180 feet.
The killers in the distance looked at Tang Qiuyu and Jiang Ruoyu coldly. According to the information they received, the other party was just a few women with low cultivation, and the highest one was only a practitioner in the distraction realm.
As for Jiang Ruoyu's realm, even Concubine Li didn't know it.
In the Five Realms Imperial City, there are only two people whose cultivation is a secret. One is the Empress Dowager Jiang Ruoyu, and the other is the Great Eunuch Yan Wuxue. No one knows how advanced their cultivation is.
Many people even had no realm between the two of them before.
In the howling autumn wind, Xia Wutong glanced at his mother, then at the killer in the distance, raised his sword, and then pulled the bow string.
In the autumn wind, a bow string vibrated and buzzed.
"Buzz!"
A bolt of black lightning pierced the rustling autumn wind and flew towards the black-clad killer dozens of feet away...
"ah!"
A killer in the distance was hit by an arrow in the chest, a spurt of blood burst out, and he fell down with a groan.
Jiang Ruoyu looked back at her daughter and the bodyguards in black, but said nothing. With her here, she could naturally protect her daughter.
The killers in the distance came to their senses, but before they could take action, one of their companions was killed by an arrow.
Although they were shocked at how accurate the arrow feathers in the autumn wind were, they still reacted very quickly.
He clamped down on the horse's belly and ran towards Jiang Ruoyu and others.
They want to close the distance between the two sides in the shortest possible time, so that the opponent's archery skills cannot be used.
The sound of hoofbeats is like thunder and rain!
At the moment when dozens of killers rushed over, two iron arrows were shot into the head of a horse. The horse fell to the ground with a howl, knocking the horse thief on its back to the ground. Another iron arrow was shot into the head of a horse. The head of a horse thief.
"Rush up and kill them!"
"Come forward, kill the old man, and leave the little girl alone!"
The charging killer retracted his body into the horse's belly. The arrows of Xia Wutong and the black-clad bodyguards could no longer directly threaten them.
In an instant, with the sound of hoofbeats getting clearer and denser, dozens of killers swept in vaguely like a violent wind, and the light of the weapons in their hands could even be seen.
Xia Wutong did not panic, but looked at the bodyguard in black and shouted: "Shoot the horse!"
Before he could say anything, the arrow in his hand had been shot out, and another black horse running fell to the ground, with a spray of blood spraying from its neck.
The black-clothed bodyguard fired an arrow and shot down a black horse again.
Looking at the dark horse running towards him, Tang Qiuyu said softly: "If you want to die, you have to find the right place!"
With Jiang Ruoyu here, she could finish off these dozens of killers without even using Qiu Shui Wuhen.
She couldn't help but feel sad for these murders. When she committed the murder, she got wrong information and failed to investigate clearly. The only result was to lose her life.
