Chapter 683: Swords into Plowshares 3
The video continues.
Ah Xing found Yun Li, who was hiding in a corner crying. Ah Xing did not greet her immediately, but kept observing her from behind.
Yun Li soon discovered Ah Xing and said, "Stop looking and talk!"
"Little sister, why are you in such a bad mood?" Hearing Ah Xing's nonsensical words, Yun Li turned around and said, "Are you sent by grandpa to find me? You must be the one."
"Actually, I came here because I care about you."
"Is that so? Thank you. Let me make this clear. I will stay here and intercept the sword while the guards are not paying attention. Then, I will melt it before anyone can react! You can't stop me. No one can stop me."
"If you don't explain clearly, no one will help you."
"…You were sent by my grandfather. He doesn't want you to help me. That is a magic sword. Have you heard of a magic sword?"
Hearing Yunli's question, Ah Xing thought for a moment and replied, "A magic sword? A demon's sword?"
"From a literal point of view, this is correct. The so-called magic sword - even if someone has never been trained in swordsmanship, as long as he holds the hilt of the sword, profound and mysterious sword skills will flash in his mind; even a weakling who is powerless can swing the sword with amazing power and speed that is difficult to see with the naked eye."
"On March 7, I will learn sword skills and maybe graduate on that day."
Listening to Ah Xing’s nonsensical words, Yun Li said seriously: “I am not kidding you, and what I am going to tell you is not some absurd anecdote… Although the person holding the magic sword can see the ground in one fell swoop, like a master who has practiced hard, all this has a price.
Just like constantly adding fuel to a furnace, with each swing of the sword, the sword wielder will gradually have his blood and marrow sucked away by the sword in his hand, day by day, until the fuel runs out.
It won’t be long before it’s no longer a person wielding the sword, but a person becoming a walking corpse driven by the sword, with all kinds of bloodthirsty and murderous thoughts filling his head.”
"Like being possessed by Sui Yang?"
"Have you heard of Sui Yang? That's great, I don't need to waste time explaining it. The truth about the so-called magic sword is this. There was a craftsman obsessed with sword-making who cast Sui Yang into gold and iron, hoping to make the weapon a living thing."
"So your father cast Sui Yang into the sword?"
Yun Li nodded, and then said: "I know what I did just now was wrong, but I have thought about it carefully. If I don't get into trouble, it won't be long before that magic sword will get into trouble - so let me get into trouble first!"
Genshin Impact Xianyun: "This child's words are quite to my liking. In order to prevent the magic sword from getting into trouble, I plan to get into trouble myself first. If it were in Liyue, I would definitely take her in as my disciple."
Xingqiong Railway Yanqing: "Well, Pioneer teacher just observed Miss Yunli for a while in the video, and asked me to take a few more seconds of the video of Miss Yunli crying. I have to keep this well."
Xingqiong Railway Yunli: "Yanqing! You are such a horrible guy! Just wait! I'm going to Luofu now, and I will definitely delete the video in your phone!"
The video continues.
At this point, Yun Li looked towards the gate of Sichen Palace and said in confusion: "...By the way, didn't they plan to send the item to the Gongzao Division for repair? Why hasn't anyone come out yet... Do you have any clues?"
Ah Xing replied: "Maybe Sichen Palace has more than one front door..."
After hearing what Ah Xing said, Yun Li was stunned for a moment, then made up his mind and said: "It seems that I can't stay here, I have to go directly to the Industrial Manufacturing Division. No matter what the reason is for Grandpa to choose that sword, I can't let it fall into the hands of others.
I will find the swords that man forged one by one, as I have done in the past, break them one by one, and melt them all down! It is urgent, so we will say goodbye for now."
After saying that, Yun Li ran away, and after thinking for a while, Ah Xing immediately followed him. After arriving at the Industrial Manufacturing Division, he asked the apprentices there and found the place where the golden man was stored. As expected, he found Yun Li there.
But at this time the golden men had already started moving, so the two had to smash them down first.
Master Gongshu of the Starry Sky Railway: "Alas, although this is a thing of the past, it still makes me sad to see it now! Those are all my precious golden men!"
Xingqiong Railway Yunli: "I'm so sorry! Master Gongshu, I was too reckless before and really shouldn't have smashed these golden men."
Master Gongshu of the Xingqiong Railway: "Alright, that's enough. I'll just talk about the past. Let's continue reading."
The video continues.
After dealing with the Jin people, Yun Li put her hands on her hips and said, "Finally, everything is quiet. Thank you for helping us out. Although the defense is thorough... but there are only Jin people, where is the arsenal with swords and knives?
It seems that the craftsman who showed me the way didn't know where the armory was. It would be useless to search like this. He might even be taken away by my grandfather first... It seems that you are not here just to help, you are here to stop me, right?"
Ah Xing: "Of course I have to stop you. I can't bear to see you get into trouble."
"Then you are a pretty good person. You may be a good person, but whether you can stop me depends on your ability... You must be thinking that Miss Yunli is impulsive and unreasonable, right?"
"I just think you are too obsessed with the magic sword..."
"Really? Am I being persistent?... Well, I am."
"Now you have a chance to finish the riddle."
"It seems that you have met many people who only speak half of their sentences."
"Why don't you sit down and tell me about it."
Cosmic Wanderer Gao Xuan: "That's not true. The most common person we Star Core Spirits have encountered along the way is the Riddler."
Star Dome Railway Pioneer Xing: "Yes! You don't know how hard it has been for me along the way!"
Xingqiong Railway March 7: "I say, although I know you are shameless, there is no need to say it so bluntly, right?"
The video continues.
Yun Li said to Ah Xing: "I owe you an explanation... But this is not the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else. I have to make it clear in advance that I am not calmed down. This... This can only be regarded as a halftime break."
The two left the Gongzao Division and came to a place in Luofu. Yun Li also began to explain: "Remember I explained to you that the Guyun given at the sword-giving ceremony today was a magic sword cast into Suiyang. And the craftsman who cast it, Han Guang, is my father.
Apart from my grandfather, I rarely mention the name "Han Guang" to outsiders. Just as you guessed - I may have been avoiding talking about him, but as long as I am hunting for the magic sword, I can't avoid talking about it...
I don’t know why, but I seem to be able to open my heart to you…”
The video also fell into memories. In the memories, the younger Yun Li looked at his father on the high platform holding an ancient sword in both hands, his eyes flashing with curiosity.
"I can no longer remember many things about Han Guang. I remember that at that time, the Yanlun Casting Palace was crowded with people, and foreign travelers came to the gate just to ask for a sword. They all praised Han Guang as the master craftsman who was the descendant of Yingxing.
Although I couldn't hear clearly what they talked about in detail, I remember that Han Guang forged an unparalleled divine weapon, and the foreign traveler who came to meet him smiled - I once thought that craftsmen were professions that brought happiness to people.
The swords produced in the Flame Wheel Foundry Palace are famous in the starry sea. They are extremely sharp and invincible. Anyone who gets a sword from Master, even if he is a common man in the wilderness, can cut iron like mud and be invincible.
Han Guang was greedy for the fame of a swordsmith, and kept testing the edge of taboos, forging hundreds of magic swords that did not exist in the world. Those who wanted to buy swords with twisted desires were like ants to meat, and they kept coming and going. "
