$471, Statue (2/2)

"Yasuna-kun, Kotetsu-kun!"

Su Wu greeted the two skilled craftsmen on the horse, and both of them smiled and nodded in response.

He turned over and dismounted, and asked the two ghost warriors who came up to him: "Where are Maeda Tora and the other seven? Have they returned to Boqi Country?"

"Yes, Mr. Yujia." A ghost warrior replied, "The two of us are responsible for bringing Mr. An Gang and Mr. Kotetsu to Gaotianyuan and building a temporary camp here.

The remaining seven ghost warriors, including Maeda-kun and others,

When approaching Takamagahara, he separated from us and returned to his hometown! "

"good."

Su Wu nodded.

Many warriors surrounded him, looking at him with awe in their eyes.

He looked around, silently counting the number of people in his mind, and then smiled and greeted Yasutuna and Kotetsu, "You've been staying in Kurotenhara for one night, right? What do you think, Yasutuna-kun and Kotetsu-kun?"

Did you encounter any danger? "

"With the ghost warriors of our family watching over us, how could we be in danger?" An Gang replied with a smile, then stepped out of the way for Su Wu, pointed to one of the thatched huts and said, "Jun Zhuzhao, now we need to inspect those nine huts. Statue?"

"No need to be in such a hurry."

Su Wu shook his head and his expression gradually became serious.

Seeing his serious expression, An Gang and others also put away their playful expressions and looked at him solemnly.

"There are many horrors hidden in Heitian Plain. Forging swords here cannot be done overnight. If you can cast swords in a few hours, some accidents may happen in the middle." Su Wu spoke, reminding everyone, "Yes So, starting from today, two people must take turns to keep vigil every night.

When encountering a dangerous situation, the night watchman can wake everyone up faster and respond quickly.

I'll be keeping watch tonight. "

"Sir, you have traveled all the way from the country of Boqi to this place, and it has been a long and tiring journey.

Let me guard the first half of the night! "The ghost warrior immediately spoke up, wanting to replace Su Wu.

Su Wu shook his head and said, "I'll just keep watch for the first half of the night.

If you want, you can watch the rest of the night. "

"yes!"

"You can discuss and tell me who will be keeping vigil in the next few nights." Su Wu continued, "In addition to keeping vigil, there is another point that everyone needs to pay attention to. From now on, you should try not to leave the camp unless necessary. The land is more than a mile.

Even if you want to do something, it needs to be done in groups of three or two, don't do it alone! "

After some instructions, everyone responded in unison.

Subsequently,

Su Wu moved out many charcoal, stones, and various tools needed for forging ironware that were placed in the shadow world.

All the warriors gathered around Koche,

According to his arrangements, a smelting furnace and calcining furnace were built on the spot.

An Gang led Su Wu into the most spacious house and opened a rag covering something inexplicable in the corner of the wooden house.

The rag is uncovered,

It shows nine painted statues stacked neatly underneath.

The nine statues of Jianzhen describe all the appearances of Jianzhen from middle age to old age.

The Jianzhen on the statues may be wearing a gray monk's robe, a red cassock, or a bright yellow cockscomb hat. He or she may be walking, sitting, or walking. All kinds of clothes and behaviors are different. There is an inexplicable charm emanating from the nine statues. .

"This is the Jianzhen statue that our ghost warriors brought back from the Nine Kingdoms Luzong Temple designated by Zhuzhaojun." An Gang said beside him, "Zhuzhaojun, what are the functions of these statues?

Can they guarantee the quality of the swords we forged this time?

Or can it protect us and reduce the invasion of black heaven and earth by the evil spirits? "

Su Wu shook his head, moved closer to the statue, and scraped off the paint on the statue with his fingers, revealing the purple-red background underneath.

He took out the waistband from his waist and kept scraping off the paint on the statue. The true appearance of the entire statue, which was about a foot high, appeared before his and An Gang's eyes.

“These statues are all made of the finest killing stone ‘Dashang Infant Stone’.

They are the best material for sword training. "

Su Wu scraped off the paint while talking to An Gang.

An Gang watched the statue reveal its true appearance. It clearly looked like a baby sitting cross-legged - many inexplicable lines were outlined on the purple-red baby's body, and there was a strange and evil charm flowing in those lines!

The master craftsman was shocked for a moment and said nothing.

Placing the 'Da Shang Baby Stone' that revealed its true appearance, Su Wu carefully examined the patterns on it and easily discovered that this pattern was similar to the patterns of the 'Da Shang Baby Stone' in the 'Yuse Mountain Mine Vein'. wonderful.

Just observing this texture,

All kinds of inspirations can’t stop coming from people’s minds!

The ink painting of "Dragon of Baixiang" is an evolution of the tattoos on the baby stone on the Yuse Mountain Mine!

"This, this..." An Gang looked at the patterns on the Dashang Infant Stone and whispered, "I originally thought that the 'Infant Stone' and 'Human Stone' were already the highest quality killing stones.

Didn't you expect that there is such a kind of baby stone in the world, with strange patterns all over the body?

Just looking at these lines, I seem to have thoughts bursting out in my mind..."

“This baby stone is extraordinary.

The patterns on its body may inspire people, but they may also lead them into the abyss.

Mr. An Gang, please stay righteous! "

Su Wu continued to scratch the paint on the second statue, and his words contained the power of 'a wake-up call', pulling An Gang out of the crowd of specious inspirations.

He glanced sideways at An Gang,

An Gang looked blank and at a loss.

"Wait for me outside for a while, An Gang-kun.

We will discuss how to use these stones to forge swords later. "Su Wu said.

"Okay, okay." An Gang agreed subconsciously, turned around and walked out of the cabin.

inside the house,

Su Wu silently scraped off all the paintings on the nine Zhenzhen statues.

Revealing the true face of the baby on it,

And the inexplicable lines outlined on the baby's purple skin.

No matter what kind of killing stone, it is part of the unresurrected "Tamazo Mae".

The Ogami Baby Stone may be related to the incredible murderous law possessed by "Tamazo Mae". It is the core component of "Tamazo Mae". Therefore, the Ogami Baby Stone from various mineral veins is gathered together to cast weapons.

It is also equivalent to the core of many large mineral veins.

If that's the case, wouldn't gathering all the infant stones to forge a sword help Tamamo-mae reassemble its body in disguise?

Will doing this will speed up Tamamo Mae's recovery?

During the casting process,

How to ensure the quality of swords?

To ensure that you can enter the state of 'sympathy between nature and man'?

these questions,

The authenticity has not been stated clearly.

Su Wu studied the strange patterns on the nine large infant stones for a while, and the shadows under his feet began to squirm. He reached into the shadows, fished out the large infant stones from the Jade Mountain Mine, and placed them with the other nine large infant stones. The stones were arranged in a heap—

At this time, changes occur suddenly!

The strange patterns wrapped around the bodies of the ten large infant stones were flowing silently at the moment.

Weird veins flow out from their body surfaces, intertwining and intertwining with each other in mid-air. Waves of colorful colors emerge from those intertwined veins, constantly rendering them to the surroundings...

In a moment,

The colorful colors and strange lines gathered together to form a haggard, virtual and real old monk.

The old monk was dressed in gray robes.

He raised his eyes and looked at Su Wu.

When Su Wu saw his face, he immediately knew his identity - it was Jian Zhen!

Is this another ‘authentic shadow’? !

Before Su Wu could speak,

The old monk, who seemed both virtual and real, lowered his eyes to look at the large infant stones under his seat, then raised his eyes to Su Wu, and said: "It seems that ten large infant stones have been gathered at the moment.

When are you going to start forging swords? "

Su Wu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He originally thought that this 'Jianzhen Shadow' was not the Jianzhen Shadow of the Yuanxing Sect.

The two are not the same, and may not share information with each other.

Unexpectedly, the other party asked him key questions, obviously knowing what happened.

Is the ‘Jianzhen shadow’ the projection of Jianzhen’s self?

Or are they interconnected but independent individuals?

The current 'Jianzhen Shadow' seems to be more indifferent and distant than the one under the Yuanxing Sect, and their personalities are different.

Su Wu's thoughts were swirling in his mind, but the expression on his face did not change as he replied: "The forging of swords will officially begin tomorrow."

‘Jianzhen Shadow’ nodded when he heard this.

He said, "Then I'll show up again tomorrow."

"I have some questions to ask the Master.

For example, if you combine these ten pieces of Daishang Baby Stone to forge a sword, wouldn't it cause Tamamo Mae to piece herself together, leading to its resurrection? "Su Wu opened his mouth and asked a question.

However,

The 'Jianzhen Shadow' opposite him clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

The various lines and colorful colors that make up this virtual shadow suddenly expand.

‘Jianzhen Shadow’ ignored Su Wu’s questions at all.

Just disappear from his eyes!

He frowned.

I feel more and more strange that these ‘authentic shadows’ are in a strange state.

Does this also mean that the 'self' behind the shadow is actually in a weirder state?

Su Wu was wary of 'Jianzhen' in his heart, but he would not give up this opportunity.

He put all the large baby stones in the house into the shadow world to prevent anyone from seeing these stones and being affected by the patterns on the stones, causing any trouble.

After walking out of the wooden house, he saw many warriors gathered together in twos and threes and busy, while Anzuna led Taira Reiko to guard the door.

"Zhu Zhaojun." An Gang's consciousness had returned to normal. When he saw him walking out of the door, he called out with a smile, then pointed to Ping Lingzi beside him and said apologetically, "When we built the camp, we didn't consider it. A woman will come over.

Therefore, there is no room prepared for Miss Taira Reiko to rest.

Zhu Zhaojun's room is quite spacious.

You might as well divide the room in half and cover it with a thick cloth. You and Ms. Tailingko rest on both sides of the thick cloth. Is this arrangement okay? "

Ping Lingzi raised his eyes and looked at Su Wu silently.

Su Wu nodded without any objection: "Okay."

He then extended an invitation to the two of them: "Let's go together to see how the foundry is being built? Also, give me a hand."

Both of them nodded in agreement.
