Chapter 271 The Dragon-Slaying Sword? Grandfather's General's Tomb
Master Ou Ye asked the middle-aged man to take out three long swords from the shelf and handed them to Ci Song. "Although these swords are not of high grade, they are made of good materials and are enough for you to practice swordsmanship on weekdays."
"Then Ci Song will be welcome. Thank you very much, Master."
Ci Song cupped his hands, took the three long swords in his hands, and then took a look. The blades of the three long swords were all white, exuding a faint silver light.
"Master, haven't you made the sword that Grandmaster Tai and Master Xu left behind?"
Ci Yang looked at the uncast sword in the center of the huge stone platform and asked curiously. He saw that the long sword in Ci Song's hand was a special metal called argentite, which was extremely rare.
"No, this is a sword embryo that my father and Mr. Xu spent hundreds of years forging. The material of this sword embryo is the only one I have ever seen in my life. The sword body contains monstrous sword intent, and there is a wisp of it. It has a strong aura of greatness, and it is extremely difficult to cast it into a sword embryo from such a material, and the entire sword embryo will be destroyed if you are not careful. "
"I remember Mr. Xu mentioned when chatting with his father that this is a dragon-slaying sword. This sword must wait until the real dragon appears in the world and the world is in turmoil. The day when the sword is made, it will be the time for people in troubled times to slay the dragon. ”
"A true dragon appears in the world? A massacre of people in troubled times?"
When Ci Yang and Ci Song heard this, they couldn't help being slightly startled. The real dragon appeared in the world and the person who slayed the dragon? What is this all about?
"I don't know much about it. I have made countless swords in my life, and my skills have also been passed down by Mr. Xu and my father. However, this sword has become a problem that has troubled me for half my life. If I can't make it in my lifetime, then I will Just pass it on to you Yang boy.”
Master Ouyang made a joke with Ci Yang.
"Master is joking, how dare Yang'er covet Master's inheritance." Ci Yang replied immediately. "Although I haven't known many people in my life, you are indeed a good child, at least much better than your father. I will leave this sword to you. Even if you are in trouble in the future, you can still use it to change your life. Let’s eat, hahaha”
Master Ouye smiled and waved his hand, then walked to the stove, picked up the tongs, took out the red-hot iron, and observed it carefully.
"I still have some things to be busy with, so I won't accompany you."
"Master, then we won't disturb you anymore. Ci Yang takes his leave."
"Ci Song said goodbye."
Ci Yang arched his hands, and then left the blacksmith shop with Ci Song.
. . . . . .
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Ci Yang returned to his cynical appearance and said to Ci Song: "Cousin Ci, your blacksmith shop is here today. Master Ou Ye is the biological son of master swordsmith Ou Yezi, and the son of Master Xu. Personally, these three swords are perfect for you to practice with."
Ci Song saw that Ci Yang's attitude had changed a lot. Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't show it. He just smiled and said, "Yes, everything that costs nothing is good."
"Cousin Ci Song is right, getting something for nothing is a beautiful thing in the world."
Ci Yang sighed, then turned to ask Ci Song: "Cousin Ci, is there anywhere else to go? Xizhou City is not like Zhongzhou City. Xizhou City mainly relies on the mountains to eat. Most of the city is a blacksmith shop. Outside of some big business houses, there aren’t many interesting places.”
"Then where are you taking me?" Ci Song asked.
"I have nothing to do today, let's go to the gambling house to have fun?" Ci Yang replied.
"Forget it, I won't go to that kind of place." Ci Song waved his hand, and then continued: "Otherwise, let's go directly to pay homage to grandpa."
Hearing this, Ci Yang nodded, "Okay, then I'll have someone prepare the carriage and go to the general's mausoleum outside the city."
Soon, a carriage set off from the General's Mansion and headed out of the city.
Outside Xizhou City, halfway up a mountain, military camps stood quietly there. This is where the mausoleum of General Ci is located, and it is also a forbidden area in Xizhou City. It is guarded by the army of Xizhou City all year round. The carriage arrived In front of the mausoleum, a sergeant from Xizhou City immediately came to inquire. When he saw that it was Ci Yang, he immediately saluted respectfully, "I have met the Young City Lord."
"Well, get up."
Ci Yang nodded, then got out of the car and said to Ci Song, "Cousin Ci, let's go."
Then Ci Yang took Ci Song into a camp. There stood a stone statue, which was the same as the general stone statue in Xizhou City. This stone statue was the full-body stone statue of General Ci. Under the stone statue, there was a The wooden box contains the ashes of Ci Zhongjun, the grandfather of Ci Song Dynasty.
"Grandpa, the unworthy descendant Ci Yang has brought your own blood to see you."
Ci Yang knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times towards the stone statue.
Seeing this, Ci Song followed Ci Yang and knelt on the ground, kowtowing three times towards the stone statue.
"Ci Song, do you know why grandpa built the mausoleum here?" Ci Yang asked Ci Song.
Hearing this, Ci Song shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"When Daliang was in decline, Xi Chu led an army of 200,000 to attack Xizhou City in order to seize the mines. When my grandfather was the lord of Xizhou City, there were only 10,000 defenders. The situation was as tragic as Daliang and South Korea today."
"In the end, Grandpa led a mere 10,000 people to defeat the four armies of Western Chu. He became famous in one battle and made Western Chu dare not do it again. I also got the root of my disease in this battle. After that, I took medicine all the year round. This mountain is Grandpa One of the camps temporarily stationed during the battle with the Western Chu army. "
"Grandpa fought all his life and won a lot of land for Daliang, but he died at the age of 60. His lifelong wish was to see Daliang rule the world, but after his death, the treacherous ministers in the court saw that my Ci family was more powerful than the master, so they deliberately discredited my Ci family to the king."
"If Uncle Ci Qibai hadn't been born and repelled the invading enemies of the six countries with his own strength and vindicated my Ci family, my Ci family would probably have ended up in a miserable way."
"But this general's tomb will stay in Xizhou City forever, and grandpa will stay in Xizhou City forever."
Ci Yang looked at the stone statue of General Ci Lao and said slowly. Although there was regret in his voice, it also revealed determination.
"Ci Song, I know you have entered the literary way and entered Yansheng Academy. In the future, you will definitely cut off from the secular world, disregard your relatives, and live a carefree life, just like Uncle Ci Qibai did in the past."
Ci Yang's tone gradually became a little heavy, "But I hope that you can choose to return to the secular world when the Daliang Kingdom is in danger, just like Uncle Ci. After all, you are always your grandson."
Hearing Ci Song's answer, Ci Yang kowtowed three times again, stood up and said to Ci Song: "Let's go."
"Okay."
Ci Song nodded, and then the two walked out of the tent. Ci Yang said to the soldiers guarding the tomb: "You take good care of the general's tomb. If there is any accident, the whole family will be destroyed."
