Chapter 97: Lovesickness
Of the ten most famous swords in the world, five were made by Yangjianlu?
Su Mo felt a little curious: "There are ten famous swords in the world? Who ranked them?"
“…”
Wei Ziyi felt that Su Mo's focus seemed a little different.
He glanced at Yang Xiaoyun and found that her expression was somewhat similar to Su Mo's, as if she was also quite curious about this.
He sighed helplessly, "According to legend, at best someone just wrote it down. But the record has long been destroyed. There is not much detailed record of these ten famous swords in the Jianghu chapter of the Lengyue Palace Sutra Library. We only know that there are ten such swords in the world."
Su Mo was a little curious: "Five of them came from Yangjianlu, so where are the remaining five?"
"How would I know……"
Wei Ziyi was somewhat helpless: "Of the ten famous swords in the world, I only know one..."
Having said this, he looked up at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, and found that they were both quite curious, so he had to say: "That sword... is called Acacia."
"Lovesickness?"
Yang Xiaoyun was slightly surprised: "Seems like there is some resentment in the boudoir?"
"Lovesickness is poison..."
Wei Ziyi said solemnly: "I have become haggard for her, and my clothes have become loose, but I have never regretted it. Once this poison enters the body, it will eat away at your soul and bones, leaving nothing behind. Therefore, lovesickness is a sword that kills all poisons..."
"The sword of absolute poison?"
Su Mo chewed on these four words and felt that they were quite interesting: "No one can solve it?"
“Not only is it unsolvable, but it’s also ominous.”
Wei Ziyi took a sip of tea and then said, "No one knows who forged the Acacia Sword. All we know is that every time this sword appears in the world, it will cause a series of killings. Countless people have died to seize this sword.
"The old records are no longer complete and detailed. I only know that the last time this sword appeared, it fell into the hands of the Tianfeng Hall in East City."
“I have heard of this.”
Yang Xiaoyun said: "Tianfeng Hall was once very powerful and had the potential to dominate East City. The head of the hall, Feng Jiuxiao, had mastered the magical skill of Hidden Dragon Nine Transformations, which had reached the pinnacle. He dominated the world for thirty years and had few rivals. But somehow, the entire Tianfeng Hall disappeared from the world overnight."
"Young Master Yang is indeed well-informed."
Wei Ziyi glanced at Yang Xiaoyun and nodded slightly: "There is a record in Lengyue Palace that there were a total of 5,723 people in Tianfeng Hall In one night, the whole family was wiped out. The head of the hall, Feng Jiuxiao, was pierced through the throat by a sword and nailed to the plaque of Tianfeng Hall.
"That sword is Acacia!"
After these words were spoken, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun fell silent.
Su Mo tapped his fingers on the table, then shook his head gently: "But this doesn't mean anything. Acacia is just a sword after all, it can't kill people on its own, right?"
"no one knows."
Wei Ziyi said: "Moreover, after this incident, Xiangsi disappeared again. It was as if it had never appeared. As for what happened in Tianfeng Hall that night... No one in the martial arts world can tell clearly. Why did 5,723 people die overnight? It has become an unsolved case in the martial arts world.
"It has continued to this day, and Acacia is ranked as one of the ten great acacias in the world, but no one has ever seen Acacia again."
At this point, Wei Ziyi put down the teacup and said with a smile: "The ten most famous swords in the world are all so legendary. Yangjianlu can make five of them. Now do you know how powerful this Sword Division Order is?"
After she said this, Su Mo finally came to his senses: "You mean, the person who borrowed the sword... is a blacksmith?"
“…”
Wei Ziyi thought about it carefully and found that she didn't seem to have said such words.
But on second thought, he felt that Su Mo's understanding was correct.
For a moment, he could not help but sigh in amazement: "How come such mysterious things become so ordinary when they are put into your mouth? Even if this person who borrowed the sword is really a blacksmith, he is not an ordinary blacksmith... He comes from Yangjianlu, and Yangjianlu is a single-line lineage. So he must be the best blacksmith in the world."
"Yeah, yeah, I see. The reversal lies in the word 'blacksmith'."
Su Mo looked at the sword-dividing order in his hand and frowned slightly: "But, how can a blacksmith have such martial arts skills? And why does he hate swords so much?"
"The Sword Cultivation House is extraordinary. If you don't have some means of self-protection, anyone can kidnap it and ask it to forge swords for them.
“So, the prerequisite for them to learn the sword-making method is to first learn a set of peerless martial arts.
"As for what he hates most, it may not be the sword..."
"It actually makes sense that I can't be a top-notch swordsman, and I'm not a good blacksmith."
Su Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"These things have nothing to do with us anymore, and mainly have nothing to do with me."
Wei Ziyi looked at the Sword Division Order in Su Mo's hand and said, "He gave you this thing, saying that he owed you a favor. If you have the opportunity to go to Beichuan in the future, you can go to the Sword Cultivation House at the Sword Division Cliff in Mo Cang Mountain to find him. He said... he would personally forge a good sword for you."
“…”
Su Mo blinked.
Yang Xiaoyun took a breath of cold air.
After all, this sentence is actually the most important.
Yangjianlu, which forged five of the world's top ten famous swords, wants to forge a sword for Su Mo!
Even if the person who borrowed the sword did not have good skills and could not directly forge a sword that was as good as the ten famous swords in the world, even if it was slightly inferior, it was definitely a rare weapon in the world.
Su Mo wasn't even excited yet, but Yang Xiaoyun couldn't help but tug at the corner of Su Mo's clothes.
Su Mo patted her hands and told her to calm down: "I have not been very respectful to him along the way. Why would he forge a sword for me? It is not worth it to kill me with a sword, but in comparison, it is more convincing."
"Because, he seems to have borrowed something from you."
Wei Ziyi shook her head: "As for what he borrowed, I don't know. These weirdos all have quirks. They say half of what they mean and hide the other half, which always makes people confused. If you are curious, you can go to Beichuan to find him when you leave Donghuang in the future... and see what he borrowed?"
"good."
Su Mo nodded, took a look at the sword order, and put it away carefully.
Wei Ziyi looked at him with envy, then shook her head, stood up and said:
"I have said all that I need to say. I am mainly worried that you don't know what this thing is for and you might just throw it away later. That would be a pity, so I am telling you clearly. By the way, are you leaving Xuanji Valley tomorrow?"
"Well, Doctor Xu said that Manor Master Liu's injuries are no longer serious and he should be able to wake up tonight. After saying goodbye to him tomorrow morning, the two of us will return directly to Luoxia City."
"I'm with you. The gift I gave you earlier has been inactive for such a long time. It should soon ferment into a charming flavor. I think there will be something in it this time."
