Chapter 173: A Fistful Heart
Chapter 173: A Fistful Heart
The shaking of the Weapon Casting Valley continued until Li Yuan turned around.
He tried to remove the handle and found that at least four heavy hammers, including the Sunken Mountain Heavy Hammer and the Mixed Gold Great Xiyi Hammer, were needed to cause the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer to vibrate violently.
After the four heavy hammers were removed, the mysterious light was still there, but it seemed much dimmer, and the vague summons gradually subsided.
"This hammer is too realistic..."
In the Weapon Casting Valley, the blacksmiths were still in shock. Li Yuan stared at the dark light rising into the sky, muttering to himself.
Divine weapons are spiritual, and would rather be covered in dust than have an owner. The spirituality of Tianyun Xuanbing is obviously stronger. His talent in hammering can be sensed even across the ground hundreds of feet away.
He felt terrified just thinking about it. If the hammer was placed in front of him, could he lift it?
"Everyone, stay on the ground for now, and do not go out."
At this time, Lei Jingchuan also came to his senses. He looked around and ordered Niu Jun and Li Yuan to guard the place and not allow anyone to leave or spread the news.
He took a deep breath and returned underground.
As soon as he left, there was a burst of discussion in the Weapon Casting Valley, and many people looked terrified and frightened.
Niu Jun ignored them and just stood in front of the valley leading in and out, not allowing anyone to go out.
"Junior Brother Li."
Niu Jun lowered his voice and asked: "Have you heard of the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer?"
"Sea Splitting? Oh, Senior Brother Niu is talking about the Divine Weapon of Heaven's Destiny?"
Li Yuan was very excited at this time, and he forced himself to deal with Niu Jun. He had not only heard about it, he could see it now.
"Yes, it is the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Weapon. It is said that the reason why our ancestor gave up the Ziyunzhou fiefdom and chose the Zhelong Mansion was related to the Mysterious Whale Hammer..."
Niu Jun lowered his voice and spoke a secret that was not really a secret.
It has been one thousand four hundred years since Feng Yun, the founder of the Divine Weapon Valley, migrated here. No matter how secret it was, it is no longer a secret now.
However, most people just regard it as a legend and no one really cares about it.
"Have heard a little bit."
Li Yuan was absent-minded, staring at the black light. Unfortunately, apart from the name, he could not see anything else.
He guessed that there might be something blocking his perception?
"A divine weapon can choose a master if it has a spirit, but would rather be covered in dust if it has no master. Could this divine weapon of destiny also be waiting for its destined person?"
Niu Jun's eyes were bright.
The matter of the divine weapon choosing its master was no secret to the disciples of the Weapon Casting Valley. He had seen the divine weapon with his own eyes.
I have even seen the master's daily records.
"Ok?"
Li Yuan suddenly became alert. Two shocks within a year, would that make people suspicious of him?
"This, the Mysterious Heavenly Weapon is just a legend. It can't really exist, right? For more than a thousand years, the ancestors have hollowed out the Divine Weapon Mountain Range. If it existed, wouldn't they have found it long ago?"
"The Mysterious Soldiers of Heaven's Luck definitely exist!"
Niu Jun was very sure.
Li Yuan thought he had some brilliant ideas, but he didn't expect that he would bring up the head of Dayun's founder Pang Wenlong.
"...The peerless hero Gao Feiqing has many strong men under his command, and his 300,000-man army is composed entirely of elite warriors. How could Taizu defeat him?"
Niu Jun was very sure.
He didn't believe in the idea of fire falling from the sky like a waterfall. He was more inclined to believe that Taizu was the master of Xuanbing.
"What Senior Brother Niu said seems to make sense."
Seeing Niu Jun so excited, Li Yuan almost got excited.
"Heavenly Profound Weapons, only those who are destined to have them will get them!"
Niu Jun's body was trembling slightly. He was very excited when he thought that the legendary Tianyun Xuanbing might be in the valley.
Back then, Pang Wenlong was in his seventies or eighties and was still able to rule the world with his Xuanbing. Although he is nearly fifty years old, it may not be impossible for him, right?
“Those who are destined to receive it will receive it.”
Li Yuan thought about it and felt that it would be fine if someone had talent. If the talent was too low, the hammer wouldn’t even be able to be acquired.
But looking at the overly excited Niu Jun, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
Could it be that Senior Brother Niu thinks that he is the destined one?
"Junior Brother Li, do you think I am the destined one?"
You are so humorous.
Li Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and became more alert.
Even a man like Niu Jun with thick eyebrows and big eyes trembled like this just by imagining it. You can imagine the attraction of the divine weapon of heaven to the people in the world.
"No wonder the Evil God Cult is so cautious..."
Everyone knows that the magic weapon chooses its master, but everyone also thinks that they will be the destined one...
"Before you get this hammer, you must not cause it to vibrate again."
Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart, but Niu Jun was still immersed in his desire for the Tianyun Xuanbing and couldn't extricate himself.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a loud roar that reached the sky came from afar, rolling like thunder.
"This is?"
The sound suddenly exploded. Although it was far away, it kept echoing. All the blacksmiths in the Weapon Casting Valley looked around.
"Is this like a beast's roar?"
Li Yuan was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. From afar, he seemed to see columns of water rising into the sky, which were probably thirty or forty meters high.
call!
His feet shook and he jumped up along the mountain wall of the Weapon Casting Valley. Looking out from the hill, he saw the boiling water in the cold pond outside the inner island.
Rays of fire leaped up from the cold pond and fell, splashing huge waves and causing an uproar on the inner and outer islands.
"Roar!"
A loud roar was heard again, and from the water column rushing into the sky, a red and gold fish shadow jumped out, with its whiskers and horns intact, and a body length of thirty to forty meters.
"Red Dragon Fish King!"
On the inner and outer islands, many disciples and guardians of the Divine Weapon Valley cried out in horror. The rolling waves rushed up to the sky and fell like heavy rain.
“This fish king was blown out?”
Li Yuan walked over quickly, guessing that the fish king's riot might have a lot to do with the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer.
"??!"
Liang A Shui, who was fishing in the cold pond, was stunned. He dropped his fishing rod and ran away frantically with his heart pounding like thunder.
He has been fishing for so many years, but he has never seen such a big fish.
No, this is not a fish at all, it's a dragon!
As he fled in a panic, Liang A Shui's face turned pale. He was hit by a wave and flew twenty or thirty meters sideways, falling heavily on the shore, blood spurting out.
The freezing cold water poured down like heavy rain.
"Dragon!"
Liang A Shui was stunned as he watched the giant beast that sometimes fell, sometimes jumped up, and occasionally made earth-shaking roars.
All the witnesses on the inner and outer islands were in an uproar.
I saw that the giant beast was more than thirty meters long, with red scales and armor, and complete whiskers and horns. It was like a snake or a dragon, and had a very powerful aura.
Li Yuan was shocked. This was indeed the red dragon fish king he saw when he went into the water before.
"Beast!"
Li Yuan ran over quickly. From a distance of several hundred feet, he heard an angry shout, and then the sound of bowstrings trembling could be heard.
"Is this a crossbow?! A siege crossbow!"
Li Yuan was shocked to see a barrage of crossbow arrows shooting at him like rain. Each arrow was as thick as a child's arm and flashed with an icy and chilling light.
There are actually a large number of crossbows hidden in the Divine Weapon Valley.
"Roar!"
The Red Dragon Fish King roared in the water mist, just like the dragon in the legend. When it moved, wind and clouds followed and the water waves surged.
To counter the incoming crossbows.
In the inner and outer islands, all the disciples and guardians were moved upon hearing the news, watching from afar, their hearts extremely shocked. It was no secret that there was a red dragon fish king in the cold pond. Many years ago, someone even saw Han Chuijun hitting the fish king with a heavy hammer.
But even those who had seen it before were still shocked when they saw this giant dragon-like beast stirring up wind and waves to resist the crossbow fire.
"Beast!"
When Fengzhong had already stepped onto the shore, the waves had risen to a height of seventy or eighty feet, and the giant beast had disappeared without a trace.
"How could this monster come out?!"
Just when Feng Zhong was wondering, he suddenly heard the whistling of the wind, and two figures, one on the left and one on the right, dived into the water with a "plop".
"Li Yuan?"
In the freezing cold water, Li Yuan burst out with all his strength, opened his arms wide, and held a red dragon fish weighing at least 100 kilograms in his arms.
His martial arts skills were so good that he had already approached the fish king and saw it going into the water. There was also a red dragon fish nearby. He could not bear it any longer and jumped into the freezing water immediately.
"Go away!"
Not daring to stay in the cold pond any longer, Li Yuan exerted force, jumped out of the freezing water and landed on the shore.
Only then did they discover that Liang A Shui was also in the water, wrestling with a smaller red dragon fish.
“Catch the fish!”
The inner and outer sect disciples, frightened by the Red Dragon Fish King, originally did not dare to get close, but when they saw someone catch the Red Dragon Fish, the brave ones actually dived into the water.
However, most disciples dared only watch from afar.
"You are too bold."
Feng Zhong had already frowned, he was shocked as he didn't expect Li Yuan to suddenly jump into the water.
Li Yuan stunned the red dragon fish and looked at the disciples catching fish in the cold pond: "There are more than one brave disciple."
He was bold because he relied on his two pairs of third-level boots, which allowed him to walk in the cold pond water for a short time as if it were flat ground. These people were truly daring.
Especially Liang A Shui, who was seriously injured, but still decisively went into the water with him.
"How bold!"
His face was as gloomy as water in the wind. He paced along the shore, scolding non-stop.
"Brother Liang, are you okay?"
Li Yuan took the red dragon fish he threw up. Liang Ashui lay on the shore with difficulty, gasping for breath:
"No, it's okay."
A red dragon fish is worth at least a hundred taels of gold, which is enough to make a group of people fight for their lives.
The wind had already rebuked the others who still wanted to go into the water, and they stayed on the shore with serious expressions.
"I'm afraid this fish king is very close to the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer."
With the subtle perception, Li Yuan could feel that the fish king had already gone deep into the cold pond and was approaching the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer.
Is it guarding the Black Whale Hammer?
Li Yuan was thinking in his heart. At this time, the waves in the cold pond had just calmed down, and a brave disciple actually caught a slightly smaller red dragon fish.
The others did not catch the red dragon fish, but they also caught a lot of other spirit fish, and almost no one returned empty-handed.
"Brother Li."
Liu Zheng and Wang Peiyao just came in a hurry. As his menial disciples brought to the inner island, they both lived in Hammering Mountain.
Li Yuan looked at the inner sect disciple who was cheering after catching the red dragon fish. Liu Zheng understood what he meant and quickly walked over.
Li Yuan handed the red dragon fish caught by Liang A Shui to Wang Peiyao, who looked resistant. She really didn't dare to touch this slimy, wet, snake-like fish.
"call!"
At this time, Liang A Shui also recovered after taking the elixir. Looking at the cold pond which was gradually calming down, he felt regretful.
There were so many fish. If he hadn't been seriously injured, he would have been able to catch some. Spirit fish are worth money.
"That fish king..."
He subconsciously glanced at Li Yuan, and the two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
The Red Dragon Fish King can even withstand the bed crossbow. Unless it goes ashore, I am afraid that no one in the entire Divine Weapon Valley can catch it.
"These three red dragon fish weigh at least 400 kilograms in total. It should be no problem to make three more sets of red dragon fish leather armor. Unfortunately, there is no incense..."
Looking at the red dragon fish flapping its wings on the shore, Li Yuan nodded in his heart. Although it happened suddenly, fortunately he reacted quickly.
The one he caught weighed at least 130 to 140 kilograms, with red scales and a bulge on its head. It seemed better than any he had seen before.
"Perhaps the bloodline is purer?"
Hundreds of kilograms of red dragon fish meat were not eaten in vain. Li Yuan could vaguely distinguish the quality of the red dragon fish.
"If I could make a top-grade fish-skin armor..."
Li Yuan was greatly moved.
If we can control six pieces of fish skin armor, we will be more confident in attacking the Chirong Tunnel.
"Where's the Red Dragon Fish King?!"
At this time, Lei Jingchuan just came hurriedly, looked at the calm cold pond, and slapped his thigh in anger.
Not only Han Chuijun and Jing Shuhu were thinking about this fish, he had also been thinking about it for many years...
……
……
Boom!
Spring thunder exploded, and raindrops were like threads, cutting through the night sky and falling into the distant mountains and wilderness.
In Yunjing County City, on the top of the city wall, teams of soldiers patrolled the city walls.
Wisps of smoke rose from the city wall, wine was warming on the red clay stove, and Shi Hong was drinking by himself in the night rain.
"Wine doesn't taste like wine, meat doesn't taste like meat..."
Putting down the wine glass, Shi Hong's clenched fingers turned white as he looked at the heavy rain with an unwilling look in his eyes.
In just half a year, he had traveled thousands of miles with the army, escaped death several times, and now he has become a lonely man?
"He is the most dignified and dignified person in the Divine Weapon Valley, and he is the young master of the current generation. But he has no one to accompany him even for a drink. How pitiful! How pitiful!"
Moving with the wind and rain, a gray-clothed swordsman wearing a bamboo hat appeared on the city wall.
Click!
The wine glass shattered into pieces. Shi Hong held a knife in his hand, his expression cold: "Yuan Qiao, do you want to die?"
"Do not want to."
The gray-robed swordsman walked into the tower:
"My captain was delighted to hear that Young Master had returned, so he specially sent Yuan to invite him..."
"Su Wanxiong!"
Shi Hong's eyes turned cold, and the long sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, almost ready to chop out:
"Yuan Qiao, you have joined the Evil God Cult, and you still dare to appear in front of me?!"
"Half a year ago, Yuan would not have had the courage, but now..."
Yuan Qiao smiled and took out a piece of letter from his pocket:
"This is a piece of information that my helmsman bought from Yunshu Tower at a high price. Young Valley Master, why don't you take a look at it?"
"Yunshu Tower?"
The knife flashed and cut through the letter, and Shi Hong's face became even uglier.
"The talent of a master craftsman!"
Yuan Qiao poured wine for him and said, "I remember that in the past seven hundred years, there have only been two or three talented craftsmen in the Divine Weapon Valley?
The last one seemed to be the one who almost took away your master's position as Young Valley Master, Jing Shuhu?"
Shi Hong held the wine glass and said nothing.
"The Lord of Gongyang Valley has a dragon-shaped bone structure and is extremely talented, yet he is still like this. The Young Lord of Valley..."
laugh!
The knife light cut through the bamboo hat, Shi Hong looked indifferent:
"The friendship between you and me is severed now. Next time we meet, I will kill you!"
"Young Valley Master is truly sincere, as sincere as the sun and the moon, but it's a pity..."
The hat was cracked, but Yuan Qiao looked normal. He drank the wine in the cup and stood up:
"My captain asked me to tell you that the book of worshipping gods that he gave me back then is the true law."
