Chapter 80: Thousand Miles of Smoke and Fire
A sword was forged, and the blood of 100,000 people was sacrificed!
Chen Kuang originally thought that those 100,000 people simply died of starvation. If that was the case, then the severe drought in Dongting Lake thirteen years ago didn't seem to be a natural disaster...
The name of this sword, Wujian, is quite appropriate.
Chen Kuang was silent for a while and asked:
"Is this Jianlu also a cultivator force?"
“…”
Every time at this time, Shen Xingzhu would suddenly realize that the guy in front of him was only at the Awakening Realm and had not even had much exposure to the world of cultivators.
She said calmly, "The Eight Hundred Swords Lodges of the Bailong River in the Great Zhou Dynasty is the holy land of swordsmiths in the world."
"When it comes to swords, the first person we can't avoid is the sword saint who achieved half-step ascension and passed away in Xushi Mountain. The second is Jianlu."
"The Sword House has been established for 1,600 years and has produced three famous swords: Tai'a, Shenwu, and a sword simply called Good Sword."
"Now, of these three swords, Tai'a is in the hands of the Sword Saint's remains, Shenwu is in the hands of the Southern Daoist Monarch of my Xuanshen Dao Sect, and as for the good sword, it fell into the hands of a beggar three years ago because of a bet."
Chen Kuang looked strange.
The first two swords were noble, but there was nothing surprising about them. However, this "good sword" had a strange name and a strange experience, which made it very interesting.
I wonder who forged this sword...
"From the hands of the Sword House disciples, three famous swords and one demon sword have emerged."
"That demon sword is this Wu Jian."
Shen Xingzhu didn't know that the "student" opposite him was distracted, so he continued:
"This Jie Kun was once Jianlu's most talented disciple. Jianlu had high hopes for him, believing he could forge the fourth famous sword. Unfortunately, he ultimately went astray."
"He was stubborn and believed that only a blood sacrifice could create a sword that was unrivaled in the world."
"That Wu Jian is his achievement."
Upon hearing this, Chen Kuang frowned and asked, "The Demon Sword sacrificed 100,000 people, but the drought in Dongting Lake did cause 100,000 deaths. What's the connection between the two? How did he perform a blood sacrifice?"
Shen Xingzhu paused and said:
"He used the entire Dongting Lake as a quenching pool for his swords, causing the lake to almost dry up."
Chen Kuang was stunned and couldn't help but take a breath.
When Dongting Lake is at its widest, it truly stretches for thousands of miles, truly vast and boundless!
Such a big lake was actually used as a quenching pool by Jie Kun!
What's even more terrifying is that he used the Dongting Lake to quench it until it almost dried up!
What material is this sword made of, and at what high temperature?!
Chen Kuang couldn't imagine it.
The energy used to forge this sword is enough to evaporate the thousand-mile Dongting Lake. Is it enough to make a hydrogen bomb?
How powerful is this sword itself?
Chen Kuang couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he thought that such a time bomb might be inside the small泔水袋 at this moment.
Shen Xingzhu added, "Dongting Lake has dried up. The fate of 100,000 people is tied to that sword and Jie Kun. It's like an endless purgatory, filled with resentment."
"When the people from Jianlu arrived, Jie Kun jumped into the sword-making furnace and completed the last step."
"But strangely, the demon sword was not fished out of the sword-making furnace."
"The sword has since disappeared and has become an unsolved mystery."
Chen Kuang rubbed his brows and said, "And now, thirteen years later, it has reappeared in the world."
Because of Xi Mengquan's unexpected behavior, he now thinks everything is a pre-planned plot. The timing of the appearance of this demon sword is too coincidental, and he is a little ptsd.
But could it be possible that Xi Mengquan would induce Jie Kun to fall into the path of evil?
The nameless musician in Chen Kuang's memory was lazy and rogue, but not a bad person.
However, this is the case for the unknown musician, but I don’t know if it is the same for Xi Mengquan...
Shen Xingzhu said, "My master told me to tell you that the demon sword has reappeared in the world and must not fall into the wrong hands. The Xuanshen Dao Sect must not personally participate in the dispute. Either destroy it or hide it. I will help you."
Chen Kuang raised his eyebrows: "So, Fairy, are you going to protect me this time?"
Shen Xingzhu said calmly, "Master's orders are hard to disobey."
It sounds quite reluctant.
It seems like she really wants to do something dirty in this process...
Chen Kuang laughed silently.
He didn't ask questions like "Did the fairy complain to your master? How will you deal with me, a despicable villain who has ruined your moral integrity?"
Just think about it, Shen Xingzhu would never tell this matter unless he was forced to do so.
After all, asking about this kind of thing would ruin Shen Xingzhu's own path.
But since Shen Xingzhu's master has spoken, Shen Xingzhu is no longer a threat, at least until the demon sword is dealt with.
Chen Kuang put away the longevity lock and went to Xianyu Temple with Shen Meinan to find Qi Sibai.
After all, Shen Meinan had been traveling with Qi Sibai for a month before, so they were more familiar with each other and easier to talk to.
As for Chu Wenruo and her daughter, they have Qingcuo here, so it's not a big problem.
The cultivators of the middle third rank were not common. In the entire Ji Shao County, there were not many cultivators who could threaten Qing Cuo.
The number of mid-level third-grade cultivators that Chen Kuang had seen so far in his time traveling through time was probably more than anyone else had seen in their entire lives...
Shen Meinan followed Chen Kuang and suddenly proposed seriously:
"It's inconvenient for you to walk, so hold my hand. It's still a long way to Xianyu Temple."
Chen Kuang turned his head in surprise. Didn’t this girl already know that he was not blind?
But immediately, he noticed the little trick hidden in Shen Meinan's blinking eyes.
