Chapter 232 Special Weapon
"Captain Li, Miss Xia Yue, this is Zhushi. He's not only my younger brother, but also my irreplaceable work partner. I've been taking care of him since he was little, and the forging table behind him is my workshop."
"...This thing looks so familiar, I think I've seen it somewhere before."
Li Muhan looked carefully at the giant beast in front of him, and a familiar feeling flashed through his mind.
He recalled some historical relics or TV dramas he had watched. Under the cornerstones of ancient buildings full of traces of time or exquisitely carved stone tablets, he had indeed seen similar images: a huge dragon turtle steadily carrying a heavy object, exuding a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
"I remember now, this thing does look familiar. Yes, on those ancient stone carvings, there is often an image of a dragon named Ba Xia. Isn't it the Zhu Shi in front of us?" Li Muhan's expression suddenly became clear, and he suddenly realized.
Lingying stroked the dragon turtle's head and said, "Captain Li is right. The dragon has nine sons, and the sixth is Baxia. Because of his immense strength, he's often symbolized as the bearer of all things. Now it seems unsurprising that Zhushi, as Baxia's descendant, shares similar physical features with his father."
"...Another second-generation god."
Li Muhan couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
Then Li Muhan saw Lingying whisper a few words in Zhushi's ear, and the huge dragon turtle actually crouched down, and the protruding edge of the furnace building became a staircase for people to step on.
Lingying carried the hammer and walked up the stairs first, then turned and said to Li Muhan.
"Please~"
Li Muhan did not hesitate when he heard this, because this rare thing in the world really opened his eyes. In addition, the Fujiang Zhenmo was still in the other party's hands. Although Lingying was the forger of this knife, it was not just a knife, but also a will and memory left by Huo Tian.
For Li Muhan, it carries an inseparable emotional value and the reason why he initially joined the Special Management Bureau, so he feels somewhat uncomfortable now that the knife is no longer in his hand.
So, driven by this conflicting emotion, Li Muhan ignored Xia Yue beside him, jumped up the stairs with a nimble figure, quickly came to Lingying, and together they climbed onto the back of the huge divine beast Zhushi.
When Li Muhan actually stood under the furnace, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before him.
The size and power of this furnace far exceeded his imagination. The blazing flames danced and surged, as if they had the power to devour the heavens and the earth.
However, what was strange was that the hot air that kept gushing out from the top of the furnace did not make him feel the slightest bit of heat. Even when he was so close to it, he did not even break a drop of sweat.
"Xia Yue, are you hot?"
Xia Yue, lying on Li Muhan's back, glanced up at the furnace that was spewing flames like the gate of hell, and shook her head slightly, saying, "I don't feel hot, and I can sense that there's something wrong with this fire."
Beneath the furnace lies a small hut built with thick and solid stone walls, quietly nestled beneath the furnace. The simple and unpretentious hut contrasts sharply with the blazing furnace surrounding it, making it appear even more lonely and tough.
Snap——
Lingying pushed open the door and waved to Li Muhan.
"Come in, don't worry, we are colleagues, I won't hurt you~"
Li Muhan did not have any doubts about this girl. After all, he had only met her once at the exchange competition. Although she said that she was from the Special Management Bureau, he had not seen any official documents so far.
I should have contacted Lin Ze before I got outside. I was too reckless.
Bright sunlight slanted in through several tall windows, illuminating the majestic ancient forge in the center.
The furnace is a Gundam (Gundam, where is the Gundam!), carefully built of dark brown refractory bricks. The blazing charcoal fire jumps inside it, emitting a fiery orange-red light, reflecting on the surrounding metal tools and unfinished works, giving people a fiery and vibrant feeling.
The temperature in the room was the same as before, and there was no feeling of heat at all.
At this point, Lingying finally answered their doubts.
"Don't be confused. This is Taiyin True Fire. Of course, my forging furnace has only incorporated a small amount of this divine fire, but it's enough. This divine fire is very suitable for forging the spirit and soul."
Having said that, Lingying slowly walked towards Li Muhan, and then her eyes became evil and charming.
"...especially when used to smelt souls and then forge them into weapons. Taiyin True Fire can be said to be the number one forging divine fire."
Li Muhan frowned slightly. Could it be that there was also a soul melted into the sword that could suppress demons?
"She's teasing you."
Xia Yue twisted her body slightly and jumped down from behind Li Muhan. Her feet in white calf socks stepped lightly on the ground, but she didn't seem to care at all that her socks would get dirty. She stood in front of Li Muhan and Lingying and spoke coldly to the girl.
"Just talk, don't make faces."
"...Yo yo yo, protecting the food."
"Huh? Are you kidding me?"
Li Muhan was slightly stunned.
Lingying put her hands behind her back, took two steps back, and kept some personal distance from Li Muhan and Xia Yue before saying this.
"Uh-huh~ Sorry, I was just teasing you. A long time ago, the Chinese Special Management Bureau issued an order prohibiting the use of any soul in any form of weapon. So, whether it's the Fujiang Zhenmo or other weapons I forged, they are just weapons now~"
As Lingying spoke, she raised her hand, and the demon-suppressing weapon placed next to the furnace suddenly began to tremble, and then flew into her hand.
"Captain Li, no, Li Muhan, what I'm going to do now is to completely imprint your mark on Fu Jiang Zhen Mo. Do you know what this means?"
Lingying looked straight into Li Muhan's eyes. There was no more playfulness in her eyes at this moment. Instead, she looked extremely serious and solemn.
“…”
Li Muhan had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't say them out loud. Instead, he shook his head.
"This means that from this moment on, Fu Jiang Zhen Mo will completely become your exclusive weapon. The sword will remain as long as you are alive, and the sword will break when you are dead."
when--
She flicked the blade with her fingers, and this time the buzzing sound did not have the same shocking feeling as before, but instead seemed a bit lifeless.
Li Muhan also realized that Fu Jiang Zhenmo had now fallen into a complete sleep.
It was as if everything it had experienced before, whether at Lin Ze's hands or at Huo Tian's hands, had become a forgotten past, and he felt a little reluctant in his heart.
"A knife is just a knife, Captain Li. Don't put too much emotion into it."
Lingying once again said something that was not in line with her identity as a blacksmith, but it must be said that her words also soothed Li Muhan's somewhat anxious heart to a certain extent.
"I see."
Finally, Li Muhan nodded.
So Lingying smiled and threw the knife into Li Muhan's hand.
"Here, now we have to get another kind of fire."
"Another one? Isn't this Taiyin True Fire okay?"
Li Muhan asked.
"Of course not. I've already said that you want to put your own unique mark on it, so of course..."
As she spoke, Lingying slowly poked her fingers towards Li Muhan's chest, but was gently slapped away by Xia Yue.
"Well... then of course you have to use your own unique flame."
The blazing flames he possessed? Li Muhan pondered for a moment, then immediately understood what she meant. Speaking of the flames he possessed, there was only one kind.
Lucifer's red dragon flame.
