This time I came to ask for advice, although it was because Huan Yin did not have a full grasp of his sword-casting ideas, but the most basic self-confidence, Huan Yin still has. After all, this idea was only come up with after he pondered and meditated for eight whole days, if he, a sword-forging master, hadn't been so famous, how could he have no effect with such intentions?

So, even if Huan Yin could think of giving some advice that he didn't expect with Ku Lao's erudition, he didn't expect that Ku Lao would give it as soon as he came up. What's more, Ku Lao just said that he didn't think it would work just by reading the materials. You know, materials are the most basic things for forging swords, isn't Huan Yin even solid in basic skills?

There was a little loss in my heart, and there was a little unhappiness, but Huan knew that Ku Lao was powerful, so he quickly asked: "Ku Lao, how do you say this?"

Ku Lao twisted his beard and said, "My lord, although the old man does not know how to forge a sword, he also knows the most basic truth, that is, all holy masters will think about the people wholeheartedly, and everything will be based on the interests of the people. ”

Ku Lao's words are naturally agreed, which is also the basic principle he has always pursued. However, he didn't know why Ku Lao brought this up, so he asked again: "Since this is the case, what does this have to do with forging a sword?"

Ku Lao put the things that Huan Yin sorted out back in front of Huan Yin's own, and said: "My lord, please see, the sword casting materials you listed, just look at the first three, all of them are rare, and all of them are rare treasures. The materials for forging swords are nothing more than taken from the people or mined by relying on the power of the people. Now that we have just recovered in the past eight days, we are in ruins, but the first three materials listed by the adults are enough to greatly increase the burden on the people. And if you look at the materials listed by the adults in turn, you have to prepare them all, and you can't help but think of the words 'labor and money'. ”

Huan Yin was stunned for a moment, and the whole person was like a heavy blow. He never imagined that he had thought about the idea of forging a sword for eight days, and as soon as he came, he would be marked as "working hard and hurting money". You must know that he has always prided himself as a wise man, thinking about the people everywhere, and he can sacrifice himself for the sake of the people. In this case, how can you stand such an evaluation?

"Labor and money ......" for a while, Huan Yin muttered silently. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he couldn't refute the slightest bit of bitter old words.

"My lord, if you really forge the sword according to the way you intended, even if you succeed in the end, the people will not pay homage. Because, at that time, the resentment of the people had already arisen. Ku Lao looked at Huan Yin, who was already a little overwhelmed, and spoke again. What Huan Yin didn't notice was that when he spoke, an extremely deep light flashed in his eyes.

The bitter old man's words once again made Dehuan Yin's heart pull. He even asked himself, if he really put the people first, how could he have come up with such a line of thinking?

It took a long time for Huan Yin to come back to his senses. It's just that his whole person seems to be a little out of state, and it is obvious that the words of the bitter old have pierced the weakest place in his heart. Huan Yin bowed to the bitter old man and said, "If it weren't for the bitter old man's reminder, I would have almost made a big mistake." It's just that there is another question below, throughout the ages, the selection of materials has been an indispensable part of sword casting. Choosing heaven and earth treasures to cast swords is almost a necessary condition for the casting of divine swords. So, how can I forge a sword that satisfies the people from ordinary materials?"

Ku Lao said: "I heard that when the previous emperor cast his sword, in addition to relying on that strange stone, the materials all relied on wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and the people did not commit any crimes. And even if it was that strange stone, it was obtained by the previous emperor by chance. Your Excellency, you can start from this point and think carefully about how to forge your sword. For example, although the world has changed greatly today, the old man secretly thinks that the previous emperor is the real Ming monarch. ”

After listening to the bitter elder's words, Huan Yin nodded. However, he became more and more confused. Back then, Huan Yin had no understanding of the matter of casting the Heavenly Sword, and it was ridiculous to follow this method.

Soon after, Huan Yin chatted with Ku Lao a few more words, but it was always useless for forging swords, but instead made Huan Yin more and more unable to find the direction of sword casting. Then, he left.

After Huan Yin returned to his room, he locked himself up again, meditating every day about how to forge a sword. However, ten days passed, and he did not leave the room, which was full of waste paper that he had crumpled, but he did not get anything.

On this day, Hu Zi was really a little worried about Huan Yin. So, he took the initiative to knock on Huan Yin's door, and he didn't care whether he disturbed Huan Yin or not.

Huan Yin opened the door, and Beard saw Huan Yin with a haggard face, and of course, his mantle and red eyes.

Hu Zi didn't expect that what he saw was worse than he imagined, but what he didn't know was that Huan Yin was a master of sword casting, an idiot of sword casting, and an emperor who was dedicated to the people. In this way, his sword-forging and his desire to serve the people were both impacted and challenged at the same time, and he could not be otherwise.

"Your Excellency, you ...... What's wrong with you?" Beard began, his voice full of concern.

Huan Yin invited his beard into the room, sat down and waved his hand casually, and said, "It's okay, what are you doing here?"

The beard said, "My lord, you have been locked up in the house for ten whole days, and everyone is worried about you. My lord, if it really doesn't work, can't we not forge this sword?"

Huan Yin frowned slightly, and said: "Since it is beneficial to the people, it is absolutely necessary to do it." I just don't have a clear idea yet, so don't worry too much, I'll be able to figure out what to do in a little while. ”

Beard sighed, as if he knew that Huan Yin would answer like this. But soon, he still said: "My lord, we are willing to contribute to this matter, if there is something useful, please make it clear that you don't have to work hard to support yourself." ”

Huan Yin waved his hand and wanted to let Hu Zi out, but he quickly thought that Hu Zi was a super Dan master, and his attainments above the Dan Dao were probably no worse than his own sword-forging attainments. Although alchemy and sword forging are two completely different ways, in some ways, there may be similarities.

So, Huan Yin hurriedly asked Huzi: "Huzi, if it is alchemy, how can you refine an elixir of extraordinary quality without using the treasure of heaven and earth?"

Hu Zi locked his eyebrows and pondered for a while, and said: "The pill is effective with medicinal power, if there is no natural treasure as the material, it is difficult to improve the medicinal power. It's just that if there is really no way, there may be a way to try. However, I am not completely sure of this method, and I have only tried it once in special circumstances, and the effect is so-so. ”

Huan Yin's eyes lit up and asked, "What is the solution?"

Hu Zi said: "It's just trying to refine the pill into yourself." ”

Huan Yin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does this mean?"

The beard said, "My lord, among my elixirs, every treasure pill must have a beard of my own." This beard is not a natural treasure, and if you want to say that it has medicinal power, it naturally has no at all. But this one represents my own beard, but it can often play the role of the finishing touch to the elixir, so that the elixir can enter the best from the top grade. ”

"For me, the beard is what I am. If you have a beard, it is an elixir from the hands of my beard, so this pill must not be bad. If I don't have this beard, it's like the elixir has nothing to do with me, and I naturally don't care about its grade. ”

"I once had an alchemy, but due to the constraints of the conditions, I didn't have good materials. But in order to save people, I used beard as the main medicine, and I barely succeeded. At that time, I thought, this alchemy is refining Dan, and perhaps, it is also refining myself. If my own Dan Dao is enough, everything can become Dan. If my own Dan Dao attainments are superficial, even if there are countless heavenly and earthly treasures in front of me for me to use, I am afraid that I will only destroy the heavenly things. ”
