Chapter 470: I'm in love with you

Nian Duan was speechless.

If Cheng Jiao hadn't been too energetic and hadn't tormented her all night long, would she have resorted to such a desperate measure?
Everything was planned to be fine. I would return to my room before dawn and pretend nothing had happened.

Now, Rong'er blocked the door.

If Rong'er had not been polite and did not open the door to go in, I'm afraid her affair with Cheng Jiao would have been exposed.

In other words, even if Rong'er knew, she couldn't know under such circumstances.

It makes her, as a teacher, seem like...

Nian Duan pushed open the window, and his legs and feet felt a little weak.

It’s not that I’m afraid of heights, but I’m still not recovered from the trouble caused by Cheng Jiao.

Forcing himself to suppress the discomfort, Nian Duan mobilized his spiritual power, instantly transferred to the wooden window in her room, and walked in easily.

He breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, calmed his somewhat rapid breathing, and opened the door.

"teacher."

Duanmu Rong smiled with her eyes curved, appearing to be in a good mood.

Nian Duan said seriously, "Rong'er, you don't need to come to greet me when you get up early in the morning. The morning is the most important time for a day, and it is a good time to review medical books. Don't miss it."

Duanmu Rong asked in surprise, "Teacher, are you feeling unwell? Your face is ruddy, almost flushed, and there are faint sweat stains on your forehead, which is somewhat consistent with the symptoms of Yin deficiency and excessive fire."

"Alright, your master's medical skills are not better than yours. I just overexerted myself. Don't think too much about it."

At this time Cheng Jiao came out, leaned against the wooden railing and looked at Nian Duan with a smile.

Nian Duan said guiltily, "Is there anything else? If not, you can review the medical books with Niang Rong first."

Duanmu Rong suddenly remembered her purpose and said a little embarrassedly: "Um, teacher, Niang Rong wants to visit the mechanical city, do you think it's okay?"

Nian Duan pondered and said, "Six Fingers will come over later and I will talk to him."

Cheng Jiao, who had been listening the whole time, was moved. Visiting the Mechanical City? Good idea.

The Phantom Sound Box is in the forbidden area of ​​the Mohist school, but its exact location is unknown.

However, he had just made a breakthrough, his soul and mental power increased greatly, and his spirit was extremely strong. As long as he locked on the approximate location, it would not be difficult to detect it.

After a while, Niang Rong came out with sleepy eyes, and looked at Cheng Jiao who was looking at the scenery on the corridor, and was speechless.

Last night she was worried that Cheng Jiao would sneak in in the middle of the night, so she didn't dare sleep the whole night.

After all, Sister Rong is not Meng Niang, who can sacrifice herself to help her ward off disaster.

Now it seems that Cheng Jiao is not interested in her.

Niangrong was depressed. After all, she was a little beauty, not much worse than Lian'er and Xue Nu. But she was useless against a lustful guy like Cheng Jiao. Her self-confidence was greatly hit.

Immediately, Niang Rong began to doubt herself. Could it be that, as Meng Niang Li Ji and Sister Rong said, she had feelings for Cheng Jiao? Was she attracted to this lecher?
Oh my god! It's so annoying!

Duanmu Rong saw Niang Rong coming out and smiled and waved her arms.

"Niangrong, the teacher has agreed. When the master comes, we will set off!"

Niang Rong nodded weakly.

I was very curious about this ingenious city of mechanical devices, it was simply shocking.

She instantly changed from a noble lady to a girl who had just come to the city from the village and wanted to go shopping.

Not long after the three women chatted, the six-fingered black knight, still wearing a black cloak, walked over alone.

Upon hearing that Nian Duan wanted to take Niang Rong and Duan Mu Rong to see the Mechanical City, he nodded slightly and walked to Cheng Jiao.

"Master Cheng Jiao," the six-fingered black knight said, holding an identity token, "I need to help Old Xu forge a sword today, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you. Please ask Nian Duan to take you to the mechanism room for a tour. I hope Master Cheng Jiao will forgive me."

Cheng Jiao nodded slightly: "No problem."

Without the Six-Fingered Black Knight around, it would be easier for him to check out the place. Nian Duan was one of us, so there was no need to hide too much.

When the Six-Fingered Black Knight left in a hurry, Nian Duan came over gently and said, "Sir, are you going now?"

Cheng Jiao shook his head: "No hurry, let's go to the Mechanical City with Niang Rong and Rong Er first, I also want to see it."

Under the guidance of Nian Duan, Cheng Jiao and Rong'er Niangrong visited common places in the Mechanical City.

When they arrived at a dark and empty temple, Cheng Jiao stopped.

Look at the bronze gate with intricate patterns, full texture and extremely oppressive.

Seeing Cheng Jiao staring at him, Nian Duan explained softly, "This is the Absolute Heaven Lock. The back leads to the forbidden area of ​​the Mohist School. All Mohist disciples are not allowed to enter."

Cheng Jiao glanced at Niang Rong who was strolling with Duanmu Rong not far away.

"Is there any way to get in?"

Nian Duan was slightly stunned, "Go in? This will offend the Mo family."

After a moment's hesitation, Nian Duan asked in a low voice, "Does the young master want to get something from it?"

Cheng Jiao did not hide it: "Yes, there is a treasure from Taoism inside, which is very important to me."

Nian Duan hesitated and said, "With our strength, we can force our way in, but we will definitely be discovered by the Mo family."

Cheng Jiao looked at the Juetian Lock in front of him. If he remembered correctly, after opening the Juetian Lock, there was a secret passage inside, which was left by a great man a hundred years ago and could lead directly to the central control room of the forbidden area.

But the same thing applies, as long as any mechanism inside is triggered, the Mohists will discover it.

If he did it step by step, it wouldn't be difficult, but he really didn't want to plan for several years just to get a magic sound box.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Let's leave first."

He plans to try it tonight.

According to the original work, in addition to the dragon's throat and the secret passage, you can also enter the Mohist forbidden area from the waterfall under the suspension bridge.

There are some water-avoiding techniques in the martial arts, which are enough to make him walk on the water as if it were flat ground.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is the power core of the Mechanical City and the underwater Mechanical Basalt.

If it was accidentally awakened, even he could not guarantee that the Mohist School would not be alarmed.

Nian Duan said softly: "If you really want to get that treasure, I can help you delay the Mo family."

The Medical School and the Mohist School have been friends for hundreds of years, but she is now Cheng Jiao's subordinate, so the worst that can happen is that she will give up her position as the head of the Medical School.

Cheng Jiao smiled faintly and said, "No, I have other ways. If you delay the Mo family, I am afraid you will become enemies with them. I don't want to embarrass you. Besides, the Mo family is still useful to me. It is best to cooperate with them until it is necessary."

If he fails this time, he will wait a little longer until his strength breaks through the foundation-building stage and he learns the Five Elements Escape Technique. Can a mere forbidden area really stop him?
Nian Duan said no more, called Rong'er softly a few times, and left with Cheng Jiao.

When some Mohist disciples saw Nian Duan coming out, they greeted him enthusiastically. In such troubled times, no one would want to offend a reliable master doctor.

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "You are very popular in the Mohist School."

"I occasionally come to the Mo family to treat some injured people."

Nian Duan didn't care about it. She saved lives not for fame, but simply followed the teachings of medicine.

Cheng Jiao seemed to have remembered something. "I heard that you won't save three kinds of patients. You won't save those who need to go down the mountain to see a doctor; you won't save those who come up the mountain to seek treatment; and you won't save those with the last name Duanmu. Is that true?"

Nian Duan smiled softly and said, "Jinghu Medical Village is not on the mountain, so how can we talk about going up or down the mountain? These are just rumors.

I have never said these things. I guess they were made up by the wandering storyteller.

As for the Duanmu people not saving us, Rong'er and I both have the surname Duanmu, so is it possible that we can't save ourselves?" Cheng Jiao was speechless: "So that's it."

After listening to this, Duanmu Rong rolled her eyes. If Cheng Jiao didn't accept her, she would also set three rules for not saving her in the future - no one with the surname Ying, no one with the word Cheng in it, and no one with the word Jiao in it...

Niang Rong snorted softly, "If you ask me, it would be best if we don't save this or that. It would save a lot of trouble."

A few people were chatting while passing by a place with raging heat waves.

The sound of iron hammering could be heard from inside.

Cheng Jiao's mind was moved: "Just now, Master said that he wanted to help Old Xu forge a sword, but Master Xu is forging weapons?"

Niang Rong's eyes lit up and she said, "I've never seen how a sword is made. Let's go and take a look."

Nian Duan smiled and said, "Let's go together. I have a good relationship with Master Xu, and he should give me some face."

Several people came to Master Xu's sword-making place.

I saw a skinny old man staring at the sword furnace intently. It was Master Xu, who was known as the "Sword Master" in the martial arts world.

When the Six-Fingered Black Knight saw Cheng Jiao and others coming in, he nodded slightly.

"Old Xu, how long will it take?"

He didn't know how to forge swords, but he knew that forging a famous sword was a special thing. In order to be on the safe side and prevent Master Xu from repeating the tragedy of Gan Jiang and Moye, he needed to watch it personally.

Master Xu murmured, "Collect the five metals and combine them into bronze, and use extreme heat to refine extreme cold..."

It was a long time later that I remembered that I had not yet answered the giant's question.

"Come on, come on."

His mother forged the famous sword Yuanhong, and his father forged the famous sword Shark Tooth.

Now that his sword-making skills have reached perfection, he also wants to forge a famous sword to prove himself.

For this purpose, he also invited Feng Huzi, the most famous sword-appraising master in the martial arts world, to evaluate it.

Master Xu took out the icy spiritual spring water that he had prepared long ago, which was collected from the Wanzai Cold Pond.

Even after mobilizing the manpower of the Mohist School and spending seven or eight years, they still only obtained less than 100 kilograms.

I don't know if it can be tempered successfully and allow this sword to gain attribute power.

Just as the Six-Fingered Black Knight was about to say something else, a tougher old man walked in.

When he saw the sword blank that had already taken shape in the sword furnace, his eyes lit up.

"What a great sword! I never thought that with the help of magma and earth fire, such a complete black ice cold iron could be forged. Old Xu, your sword-making skills are no worse than those of our ancestors."

Master Xu was still staring at the sword furnace intently. It had reached the critical moment and his entire mind was immersed in it.

If something unexpected happened, he would have to follow the example of Gan Jiang and Mo Ye and be prepared to sacrifice himself for the sword.

This is the awareness that every swordsmith who forges a famous sword has.

A famous sword is not like an ordinary sword. Every time a famous sword comes into the world, there are always some strange phenomena.

Some require a blood sacrifice, some require a soul sacrifice, and some need to be reforged to continue the life of the sword.

Cheng Jiao looked at the old man, and found that he had the same aura as Feng Huzi whom he had seen in the palace not long ago.

No wonder he left in a hurry that night, it turned out he came to Mo's school.

Perhaps only the emergence of a famous sword can attract his appearance.

“It’s done. Whether or not I can completely transform extreme heat into extreme cold depends on the quenching step.

Although the sword embryo is made of ice-cold iron, which has a cold nature, and the ice spirit spring is also the best spring water for quenching, but..." Feng Huzi scratched his white hair and scratched his head.

It is possible in theory, but whether it can actually succeed is another matter.

After all, magma and underground fire are just ordinary fire, which cannot compare to the real fire in mythology that is ever-changing and has infinite creation.

"Bah-"

Master Xu used the Mohist mechanical arm to slowly place the sword embryo, which was burning like liquid, into the icy spiritual spring.

Thick white mist suddenly rose up, and even in the hot sword-making room, one could still feel the refreshing coolness.

Feng Huzi's eyes lit up, and he smiled as he gathered his long white beard, saying, "Today I am going to add another famous sword to my famous sword collection."

Niang Rong had also heard a little about the famous sword list, "Hey old man, where does this sword rank?"

"Which one? Little girl, I don't have the final say. It depends not only on the quality and ability of the famous sword itself, but also on the strength of the sword's owner. Do you know why I ranked the Tianwen Sword first?"

Cheng Jiao also looked over. He was also curious about what was so special about the Tianwen Sword.

"The Heavenly Question Sword itself is only in the middle of the list of famous swords, but its owner, Qu Yuan, is a master who has reached the pinnacle of heaven and man. He dominated an era and eclipsed many top masters. It ranks first, undisputedly."

Talking about Qu Yuan, Feng Huzi had some memories. Before he became famous, Qu Yuan was already well-known throughout the world and was recognized as the strongest.

His strength has reached the ultimate level.

If it were not for the people of Miluo River, he would have risked his life in a desperate battle with the thousand-year-old snake demon in the Miluo River, and finally died together with him.

If they had survived until now, the Qin army would probably not have easily attacked the State of Chu, occupied Yingdu, and forced the State of Chu to move its capital.

Perhaps the top masters are not enough to influence the outcome of a battle, but those who have reached the pinnacle of heaven and man are enough to determine the outcome of any war.

Thinking of this, Feng Huzi glanced at Cheng Jiao.

Although he has not yet opened the bridge between heaven and earth, his perception is still sharp. From the sense of crisis that Cheng Jiao gives him, he can be sure that he is no less capable than him, and may even have opened the bridge between heaven and earth and touched the state of unity between man and nature.

Has the State of Chu really reached its doom as Qu Yuan predicted?
He didn't know, nor did he want to care. He only loved the sword. Even if his meridians were injured by the sword, his foundation was severed, and he had only a few years to live, he still had no regrets.

The only regret is that it is said that there is a magic sword Xuanyuan in the bronze treasure box related to the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon, but no one knows whether it is true or not. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tries, he can't open it at all.

Master Xu was solemn and reverent as he put the prepared hilt on the tempered sword.

As if holding a child, he gently stroked the sword.

A slight chill penetrated Master Xu's skin, causing his fingers to become stiff.

Niang Rong exclaimed softly: "Wow, what a beautiful sword."

Master Xu held the sword and handed it to Feng Huzi.

"Master, please judge!"

Any swordsmith in the world, as long as he has created a famous sword, will want Feng Huzi to evaluate it.

Feng Huzi was not polite. To him, every famous sword was rare and hard to come by.

"The sword is light and agile, the blade is slender and sharp, and it can emit cold air and even freeze. It is a beautiful and practical sword. If it is matched with a good master, it is enough to be ranked in the top ten. However, it still needs a cold attribute expert to use it."

Nian Duan and Six-Fingered Black Knight instantly looked at Cheng Jiao.

The only one here who is qualified to be called a master of cold attributes is Cheng Jiao.

Niang Rong asked softly, "Cheng Jiao, you seem to have the attribute of ice, right?"

Cheng Jiao nodded slightly. Although the skills he practiced could transform various attributes, the ice attribute was the one he had practiced for the longest time and he was most familiar with it.

The most important thing is that he took a fancy to this Shui Han Sword!
