"Yo, you're quite angry."
Seeing that Huo Sixing was angry, Mei Ying also realized that he had made a mistake. He smiled and said, "Little brother, have you forgotten who this sword belongs to?"
"Whose?
It's mine since it's in my hands! "Huo Sixing raised the sword and swung it down.
"Ha, some things don't belong to you just because you have it. You can't use this sword just because it's in your hands!" Mei Ying casually made a hand seal and said, "Watch my Tenfold Force Field."
Huo Sixing was puzzled when he saw that Mei Ying wasn't dodging and was only casually making hand seals. Any abnormal movement from his opponent would attract his attention, and this was also his battle instinct. Although the momentum of his sword was gone and it was too late for him to retract it, he still forcefully withdrew some of his strength to prepare for attack and defense.
As his thoughts flashed, a sudden gravitational force came from the sword that was raised high up in the air. The sword actually changed its trajectory, and with a 'whoosh', it fell straight down to the ground. The hand that was holding the sword hilt could not stop it at all. The sword went straight into the ground, and only stopped when it was about to sink into the sword hilt. Huo Si Xing held the Divine Weapon tightly, and was also forced to bend his back and knees.
Mei Ying saw that Huo Sixing didn't let go of the sword despite the sudden change, and he had a look of approval in his eyes. "Now you know who this sword belongs to!
But it's not bad. As a swordsman, you can't let go of the sword even if you die. "
What he didn't know was that Huo Sixing was just taking advantage of Mei Ying's slip of the tongue to test how strong a cultivator was.
If this was a battle of life and death, he would have already let go of the sword and punched and kicked.
Who knew that the sudden change in the situation wouldn't be able to test Mei Ying's strength.
At the same time, he knew that he wasn't Mei Ying's opponent and that Mei Ying wouldn't hurt him. At this moment, he realized that the Excalibur had become unusually heavy and became interested in the sword.
Huo Sixing exerted all his strength to lift the sword, but was unable to do so. He could only stand up, not feeling awkward at all. He chuckled and said, "This is really amazing, I've let Big Brother Mei see a joke."
"If someone else dared to attack you with a sword, they would have been decapitated by now," Mei Ying saw that Huo Sixing did not raise his sword, so she made another hand seal, "Try again now."
Huo Sixing bent down and picked up the sword. He then caressed the sword with his hand and made a sizzling sound. He was getting more and more fond of the sword, "Big brother, please teach me how to control the sword."
"How do you know that I will teach you and not put my sword away?" Mei Ying sneered.
"If he wanted to take it back, he would have done so long ago. Why would he wait until now?
May I ask what Big Brother meant by a peerless sword? "
"You little rascal, now you're willing to listen quietly?" Mei Ying seemed to be aware of Huo Sixing's actions and was not disgusted by his shameless behavior.
Huo Sixing held the sword with both hands and bowed to Mei Ying, "Please teach me, Big Brother."
"Let's not talk about that for now. Do you believe that swords are alive?" Mei Ying saw that Huo Sixing had become serious, so she became serious as well.
"Alive? I think so. When I was at your sword shop, I saw the sword spirit searching for its master. Now that I think about it, I'm still very surprised," Huo Sixing said seriously.
Mei Ying waved her hand, "What kind of life is that? It's just an obsession of the swordsmith. I'm talking about life. It can live, it can die, it can get hurt, it has feelings, it has emotions!"
Huo Sixing was very curious. But then he thought about how he was able to come to this world, so there was nothing he couldn't accept. "Can it live, die, and move on its own?
I think that's possible. "
Mei Ying saw that Huo Sixing seemed to be very serious, so she asked in surprise, "You really believe that? You're not lying to me?" She didn't seem to believe Huo Sixing's words.
"I believe that everything has a spirit. Humans can cultivate, beasts can cultivate, plants can cultivate, so why can't swords cultivate?
I think that as long as the time is right, everything can give birth to life, not inanimate objects, "Huo Sixing explained.
"Everyone thinks that swords are just weapons, accessories that people use to achieve their goals. The sword spirit is also the obsession of the swordsmith or the extension of the swordwielder's spirit.
No matter how powerful a sword is, it's just a weapon. The highest it can achieve is just a clone of the swordwielder. "
Mei Ying became more and more excited as she spoke, "Since you believe that swords can have a life, are you willing to cultivate a sword with me and witness the birth of a sword?"
"I don't know anything. Why did Big Brother choose me to do this?"
"When we were at the sword shop, I realized that you could resonate with swords. You should know that when a sword spirit searches for its master, that will only happen when it meets the sword master. Hundreds of swords vibrating and the awakening of the sword spirit has never happened before. You weren't the sword master they wanted to choose, so I think they saw you as a friend or a kindred spirit.
I knew that my chance had come, "Mei Ying said meaningfully.
Mei Ying saw that Huo Sixing was listening attentively, so she explained, "When I forged this sword, I didn't follow the usual method. But after a long time, no life was born, not even a normal sword spirit. I thought that I had failed. Just as I was about to give up, I realized that the weight of the sword had changed. After that, I realized that it was secretly swallowing other swords, and this rekindled my confidence.
“
"It's funny now that you mention it. After that, I went bankrupt because of him. I had no choice but to find a new place for him, which was Silver Moon City. I used a secret formation to guide the mineral veins within a thousand miles to the city gate of Silver Moon City, and then directly to the body of the sword, so that the sword could grow." Mei Ying explained the whole story of the sword in one breath.
Huo Sixing asked curiously, "I saw that Silvermoon City is also based on metal and stone. Wouldn't this sword eat the whole Silvermoon City?
Would the Eagle Guards let you do something like this in their city? "
"You don't know about this, but the Eagle Guards are very vicious. He wanted me to leave the sword with him, so that he could use the formation to nourish the sword, and the sword to nourish the city. The essence of the mineral veins that the sword didn't absorb was all absorbed by Silvermoon City. It was a win-win situation. No, it was Silvermoon City that took advantage of it. After all, there are mineral veins everywhere, and there is only one sword that can absorb the essence of iron. Without this sword, Silvermoon City wouldn't be as impregnable as it is now.
“
Hearing this, Huo Sixing finally understood why Ying Yang wanted to bring this sword back. "Then if I take this sword now, won't the Eagle Guards hate me to death?"
“
"That won't happen. No matter how much Silver Moon City absorbs, that's all. After all, it's just passively accumulating. Otherwise, do you think Ying Wuwei would agree to let you have the sword so easily?" Mei Ying laughed. "Aren't you very daring?
Why are you scared now? "
"I didn't expect this sword to have such a powerful background!"
Huo Sixing smiled wickedly. "But no matter what, this sword is Big Brother's, so what's Big Brother's is mine, haha."
Because of the sword, the two of them got along well. The atmosphere became more and more relaxed, and they called each other more affectionately.
"Then what can I do now? I'll say it again, I don't know anything about forging swords."
"You don't need to know. Remember when I said you were a good sword?
Your situation is very similar to this sword, except that you can't absorb spiritual energy, and this sword can't form its own consciousness.
This way, the two of you can form a complementary relationship, "Mei Ying said with uncertainty.
After all, people and swords were different, and what he said was only his guess.
