Chapter 317 Xu Yu, Descendant of Master Xu, and His Agreement with Master Xue

Ci Song briefly explained his purpose of coming.

"Are you here to make swords?" The old man looked at Ci Song with doubt on his face.

"Yes." Ci Song nodded and replied.

Hearing this, the old man waved his hand and said, "Come down the mountain. If you don't understand the rules when you go up the mountain for the first time, I will spare your life."

"Why did the old gentleman say this?" Ci Song asked doubtfully.

The old man looked at Ci Song and said in a deep voice: "If you really want to forge swords, I will show you the way to go to Xizhou City, Sword Forging Furnace, find an old guy named Ou Ye, and ask him to help you forge swords. His skills are not inferior to me at all.”

After saying that, the old man was about to turn around and leave.

"Take out your Shui Han Sword, and he will naturally help you." Ning Ping'an said to Ci Song.

When Ci Song heard this, he took out the Shui Han Sword and held it in his hand.

The old man walking towards the distance suddenly stopped and looked back suddenly, all his eyes focused on the Shuihan Sword in Ci Song's hand.

"Is this sword the Shui Han Sword left behind by my great grandfather?"

The old man came to Ci Song's side in an instant, staring at the Shui Han Sword in Ci Song's hand with burning eyes.

"This sword is Shui Han." Ci Song nodded and replied.

Hearing this, the old man had an expression of disbelief on his face. He looked at Ci Song and then at the waterfall in the distance. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and tapped the Shui Han Sword lightly, and then it made a crisp sound.

"What is your relationship with Xue Fufeng? Why does this sword appear on your body?"

The old man raised his head and looked at Ci Song, with some confusion in his eyes.

"Master is my father's teacher. This sword was passed down from master to my father, and my father passed it on to me."

Ci Song slowly told the origin of this sword.

"So that's it. You're here this time to fulfill the agreement I made with him, right?"

The old man had a proud smile on his face, and then said to Ci Song and others: "You can come with me."

Then the old man turned around and walked towards a mountain wall. His steps were steady and he didn't look like an old man at all.

Ci Song and others looked at each other, not knowing what the agreement the old man was talking about was, but they still followed.

On the way, Ci Song curiously asked Ning Ping'an: "Teacher, what is the agreement this old gentleman is talking about?"

"Of course it's about recasting the Water Cold Sword."

Ning Ping'an slowly explained to Ci Song, "This Water Cold Sword is the most representative weapon forged by Master Xu when he was young. Old Man Xue took it to this man for help and wanted to recast it. Make it reach the level of literary giants and calligraphers."

"But he failed, which also caused a slight flaw under the Shuihan Sword. Later, Old Man Xue made an agreement with him, saying that in the future, his descendants would bring this Shuihan Sword to him. , but later, your father did not come to fulfill this agreement, so I took you here while we were traveling. "

The group of people followed the old man around a mountain wall, and their eyes suddenly opened up. They saw a huge stone door appearing in front of everyone. The stone door was carved with various birds and animals, and the shapes were lifelike, as if they would break through the door in the next moment.

"This gate is called 'Long Yin', which was carved by Master Xu himself."

As the old man spoke, he reached out and pushed gently on the stone door. The stone door, which weighed a thousand kilograms, slowly opened, revealing the scene inside.

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked by the sight in front of them. Inside was a huge stone cave filled with various furnaces. The fire was red and the temperature alone was enough to roast raw meat.

As the old man spoke, he led everyone into the cave, "I am Xu Yu, after Master Xu."

"I've met Mr. Xu." Ci Song said to Xu Yu respectfully.

Mo Yao and Zhuang Diemeng on the side also roughly guessed the old man's identity and saluted him.

"You don't have to be so respectful. Our Xu family's emphasis on making swords is to nourish the sword with culture and protect the culture with sword. Since you are the descendants of old man Xue, I will naturally not embarrass you."

Xu Yu waved his hand, indicating that Ci Song didn't need to be so respectful.

"The old gentleman is really a man of good temperament." Ci Song praised.

"I just don't know if the old gentleman can fulfill the request of Senior Xue and recast the Shui Han Sword?" Ning Ping'an asked calmly from the side.

"It is true that I did not forge the Shui Han Sword back then, but that was because my skills were not mature enough. Now after so many years, I am no longer the young boy I was back then. As long as you can wait, I can naturally satisfy you."

Xu Yu looked at Ci Song and the others and said in a deep voice.

"Of course I'll wait for you, Mr. Ci." Ci Song nodded.

"In that case, come in with me."

Xu Yu said and led everyone into the Longyin Cave.

As they walked all the way in, Ci Song gradually felt a hot breath. The further they walked in, the higher the temperature became. This made Ci Song and the others feel unbearably hot all over, and sweat even broke out on their foreheads.

"This is the Holy Land for Sword Making." Ci Song couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The further he walked in, the more Ci Song could find various furnaces and various ores. In addition, there were also some sword-making tools hanging densely on the cave wall.

"These are the rare ores and sword-making tools that I have collected over the years. I, Xu Yu, have been proud of my whole life. Apart from Master Xu, I am most proud of these ores."

Xu Yu took Ci Song and others to a stone tablet. The names and origins of various ores were densely written on the stone tablet.

"I have basically searched all the metal ores in various famous mountains. I have not looked for the sunken iron in the deep sea, which is the sunken iron recorded in the book."

Xu Yu looked at the ores and introduced them to Ci Song and others.

"Sunk iron? What is it used for?"

Ci Song looked at Xu Yu and asked curiously.

"Sunk iron is hard enough that ordinary metals cannot cut it. It is the best ore for making swords. However, this kind of ore is usually in the deep sea, and the coldness is even worse. I also spent a lot of effort to get some to recast Shuihan."

Xu Yu walked to the stove and stopped. I saw a ray of fire bursting out from his fingertips. He raised his hand and waved it, and then the flames in the stove became more violent.

He turned to Ci Song and said, "Give me the Shuihan sword."

Ci Song heard this and handed the Shuihan sword in his hand to Xu Yu.

Xu Yu took the Shuihan sword, and a nostalgic look appeared on his face. He looked at the Shuihan sword in his hand, as if he saw himself back then.

He reached out and gently stroked the Shuihan Sword, as if he were looking at his own child. "I failed to forge the sword because there was a crack on the sword body. This has always been a regret in my heart."

A faint flame was released from Xu Yu's palm, and the sword body trembled slightly, as if it was cheering.
