Chapter 81: Forging Weapons, Yue Qing Recommends
The reason why Di Yun was in such a miserable state was because of this Liancheng Jue. Even the death of his elder brother Ding Dian was closely related to this thing.
But in all honesty, he had no idea what this was.
"Sir, how do you know my origins..."
Di Yun asked weakly, but Li Ming did not torture him about the whereabouts of Lian Cheng Jue as he had imagined, but continued to ask.
"Then how did you get involved with this Blood Saber Evil Monk?"
Di Yun did not dare to hide anything and immediately told his story.
After he finished speaking, even Lin Pingzhi next to him looked strange.
According to Di Yun, he accidentally killed a blood-knife evil monk named Bao Xiang, and then changed into the man's clothes, which led to a series of misunderstandings...
Not to mention others, even Lin Pingzhi didn't believe it, always feeling like it was a story made up by the other party.
But compared to others, Lin Pingzhi trusts his master Li Ming more. Whatever his master says, no matter how absurd it is, it must be true.
Since Li Ming believes Di Yun's story, it means it is true.
"So what are your plans next?"
As soon as Li Ming asked this question, Di Yun was stunned.
To be honest, he really doesn't have any plans.
In his opinion, his elder brother Ding Dian was dead, and there was no place for him to stay in this vast world.
After being stunned for a long time, Di Yun finally spoke.
"Before my eldest brother died, he had a wish, which was to be buried together with Miss Ling. I plan to go back to Jingzhou to help him fulfill this wish."
Lin Pingzhi was quite moved when he heard this.
He had also experienced great changes in his family. When he heard that Di Yun was in such a difficult situation, he actually remembered other people's instructions. He must have a good character.
The expression and tone of these words did not sound fake, and were indeed completely different from the arrogant and ruthless style of the Blood Knife Evil Monk.
"Okay, men value loyalty and trust. If you want to leave, avoid those martial artists from this side. Also, change your clothes so that no one can see you."
Lin Pingzhi next to him also reminded: "It's better to cover your bald head and disguise your face, so that people won't mistake you for an evil monk again."
"Ah, hero, you...let me go?"
Di Yun's face was filled with astonishment, as if he couldn't believe that he had gained his freedom so easily.
As he and the Blood Knife Patriarch fled, the image of the little evil monk had become deeply rooted in people's minds, and countless people in the martial arts world were calling for his death.
If Li Ming let me go, how would I explain it to others?
Di Yun was a little hesitant.
"My dear hero, you are so kind and generous. How can I repay you?"
Li Ming waved his hand. He did not expect any return from Di Yun.
To be honest, although Di Yun is also the male protagonist in a work, the most valuable thing about him is probably the Shenzhaojing.
But Li Ming already has this technique.
As for The Untold Story, it is nothing more than a clue to a batch of treasures.
Without going through Di Yun, Li Ming knew that the treasure was inside the Buddha statue in Tianning Temple.
However, the treasures are all highly poisonous and anyone who touches them will die.
Li Ming also had little interest in these.
As for Di Yun's martial arts aptitude, according to Li Ming's memory, it should not be outstanding.
In the original novel, Di Yun eventually achieved great success in his martial arts, mastering the top martial arts of both the good and evil schools, the Shen Zhao Jing and the Xue Dao Jing. However, his achievement had more to do with chance encounters rather than talent and hard work.
Moreover, Di Yun's personality always yearns for a peaceful life of farming in the countryside, and he is not suitable for the treacherous world of martial arts.
After Li Ming reached the Grandmaster level, although he unlocked the position of the fourth personal disciple, it was obvious that Di Yun was not suitable.
In comparison, Li Ming felt more sympathetic towards Di Yun, the most miserable male protagonist in Jin Yong's novel, and felt that it would be better to let him go.
Di Yun confirmed again and again, and after Li Ming asked him to leave, his eyes turned red.
To be honest, except for his eldest brother Ding Dian, most of the people Di Yun met were scheming and deceitful, and each of them was trying to harm him.
Only the hero in front of him chose to help him without asking for anything in return, which was unprecedented.
This made Di Yun feel a touch of warmth that he had not felt for a long time.
He took off the clothes of the Blood Knife Sect and destroyed them, then smeared some dust on his face, and borrowed a piece of cloth from Lin Pingzhi to wrap his head.
Before leaving, Di Yun knelt down and kowtowed three times to Li Ming before leaving.
After Di Yun's figure disappeared, Lin Pingzhi and Li Ming discussed something, then they used the Yaojiao Kongbi body technique and left.
At this time, the group of warriors outside were still waiting with eyes wide open.
"What's happening here?"
Everyone was quite confused.
What did Master Li mean by taking that evil little monk from the Blood Knife Sect to a place where no one could see him?
Many people couldn't help but speculate.
Could it be that Master Li wanted to torture him using special means?
Many people have come up with this guess.
But the more I think about it, the more it seems possible.
He had just had a fierce battle with the Blood Knife Patriarch, which was extremely dangerous. Now that the Blood Knife Patriarch is dead, it is normal for Master Li to want to vent his anger on his disciples.
"Master Li's methods must be extraordinary, and possibly even extremely bloody! Otherwise, why would he not want everyone to see it?"
Everyone held this idea.
However, this evil monk with a blood knife has committed many evil deeds and he deserves his punishment, so he doesn't deserve any sympathy!
After a while, Li Ming reappeared, but the little evil monk and Lin Pingzhi were missing.
Many people with quick minds have confirmed their guesses.
It seems that the little evil monk has been tortured to death by Master Li!
That disciple of Master Li must have gone to deal with the corpse.
You wouldn't have guessed that Master Li is so young but he's so ruthless!
Everyone held this thought and did not dare to ask more questions.
Shui Sheng, on the other hand, had no strength left to cry anymore and was now being protected by some old friends of Shui Dai.
Now, many other warriors looked at Shui Sheng with a frivolous and playful look.
After all, everyone had seen Shui Sheng's underwear scattered on the ground before, and the Blood Knife Patriarch himself said that Shui Sheng had become his disciple's concubine. No matter how she explained it afterwards, no one would believe it.
Naturally, someone also dealt with the bodies of Lu Tianshu, Liu Chengfeng and Shui Dai.
Just after Hua Tiegan died, he was involved in a fierce battle between Li Ming and the Blood Knife Patriarch. His corpse had been completely disfigured by the dense sword and knife energy.
Some people couldn't help but spit at him when they passed by.
There were also many warriors who died at the hands of Hua Tiegan, and now naturally there were some familiar fellows helping them collect their bodies.
"Master Li, I am Yuan Kun from Jiangzhou Qibao Pavilion. I have been chasing the evil monk all the way here. Fortunately, Master Li helped me to kill this evil monk. From now on, Master Li will be..."
Some martial artists came up and tried to introduce themselves and get close to Li Ming.
Unexpectedly, Li Ming was too lazy to pay attention to them. He just responded with a few words and turned away.
It made everyone feel a little awkward.
But this is the world of martial arts. With Li Ming's current strength and record, he is fully qualified to not give face to anyone present.
A master who was able to kill the Blood Knife Ancestor, I wonder how many sects and forces would want to make friends with him.
Soon, the news of Li Ming's killing of the evil monk and the ancestor of the Blood Knife Sect spread to the Qixia Town, and then spread wildly to the entire martial arts world from the Qixia Town.
In one battle, five Grandmasters died, especially Luohualiushui, who were known as the Four Wonders of the South, were completely wiped out. This was a major event that shocked the martial arts world.
The addition of a Blood Knife Ancestor to Li Ming's battle record list has caused many people to secretly raise their estimates of Li Ming's strength again.
Li Ming and others stayed in the martial arts hall until evening.
With a flash of his figure, Lin Pingzhi came back.
The master and the disciple didn't need to communicate much. Just a nod to each other, and Li Ming knew that Di Yun had left safely.
In fact, Di Yun now possesses the Divine Illumination Scripture. Although it has not yet been fully mastered, he has no problem dealing with ordinary people.
After many misfortunes, Di Yun is still kind, but he is no longer the stubborn and foolish boy who just started out.
As long as he doesn't reveal his identity and offend powerful martial artists, Li Ming is not too worried about his safety.
When thinking about the tragic fate of Di Yun, Li Ming thought, he should secretly wish him all the best.
"You've done a good job." Li Ming praised Lin Pingzhi, and then changed the subject.
"You have basically mastered the Three Nos and Three Nos recently. Don't fall behind in swordsmanship. Also, haven't you always been interested in the Five Poison Secrets?"
As Li Ming spoke, he took out a copy of the Five Poisons Secret and handed it to Lin Pingzhi.
Also given to him was the remaining set of Ice Soul Silver Needles.
"Next, I can also teach you the Scarlet Snake Palm, but you must remember that no matter what martial arts you practice, you must not lose your original intention."
Lin Pingzhi has been interested in the Secret of the Five Poisons for quite some time since he had read it once before. He was excited at first, but then he heard Li Ming's instructions and knew what his master was worried about, and he could not help but nodded heavily.
"By the way, where is Yang Guo?"
After Li Ming finished explaining, he couldn't help but ask.
"He, Junior Brother, seems to be more interested in medicine recently. In his free time, he often reads the medical books in the martial arts hall. Besides, he gets along well with Sister Ziyu."
"Row."
Li Ming nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and let Lin Pingzhi leave to rest.
Li Ming was in the room himself. He first drew out the Nine-Curve Sword and took a look at it.
The pits and gaps on the sword seemed to tell of the fierceness of the previous battle.
This sword can no longer be used.
It seems that ordinary swords can hardly withstand overly powerful true energy and true intention, and will be destroyed after only supporting one battle at most.
But this time Li Ming also gained a lot. While thinking, he looked at the weapons on the table.
The battlefield where the fierce battle with the Blood Knife Ancestor took place had already been cleaned up by the martial arts school disciples.
They were also the ones who dealt with the body of the Blood Knife Ancestor, so these weapons naturally fell into Li Ming's hands and became his trophies.
No other warrior present dared to question him, let alone argue with him.
Shui Sheng, the only one who had some connection with the matter, had fainted from crying several times because of her father's death, and of course she had no time to care about such trivial matters.
Lu Tianshu's broadsword, Liu Chengfeng's Rouyun sword, Shui Dai's Lengyue sword, and the bloody knife.
These are all Grandmaster-level weapons, so naturally they are extraordinary.
Only Hua Tiegan's iron spear was broken into two pieces, and it seemed to be much less valuable.
Li Ming tried several swords, but he always felt that the Rouyun Sword was not sharp enough, and the Lengyue Sword was too soft, and neither was very convenient to use.
Moreover, I am already a master, but I still don’t have a suitable weapon. I can’t always pick up other people’s weapons.
While I was thinking, I heard familiar footsteps outside.
Li Ming knew it was Yue Qing without looking back.
This guy has hardly stopped since he started working as a workaholic.
And he only has career in his mind and doesn't care about anything else.
Sometimes when an idea suddenly came to his mind, he would run over to discuss it with Li Ming late at night, not caring whether he disturbed him or not.
Li Ming is almost used to it.
"Master Li, I have made some improvements to the design of the library. Please take a look..."
As soon as Yue Qing entered the door, he handed a thick stack of drawings to Li Ming.
The main part of the martial arts hall has been renovated quite well recently, but Yue Qing is always dissatisfied with the library and treasure house parts, and the plan has been changed many times.
After throwing the blueprint to Li Ming, Yue Qing was also attracted by the weapon on the table. He picked it up and looked at it with interest.
Especially the blood knife. Yue Qing observed it repeatedly. When the blade approached him, he even felt a cool feeling coming from the air.
It can be seen that the material used to forge the blood sword is extraordinary.
"Master Li, this knife is quite interesting!"
Yue Qing was amazed.
He was born a craftsman, so he is naturally very sensitive to materials.
Yue Qing stretched out his hand and tapped the knife a few times, listening to the sound of the bloody knife and looking at Li Ming's expression, as if he had guessed something.
"Master Li, do you need a weapon?"
Li Ming nodded while looking at the drawings, but then raised his eyes.
Yes! Yue Qing was born in the Luban Divine Axe Sect, so he should be good at casting weapons.
Looking at Li Ming's eyes which were getting brighter and brighter, Yue Qing gave a bitter smile.
"Master Li, please don't look at me like that. I know a little about forging, but I'm not an expert. With Master Li's strength, it's not appropriate for me to make the weapons you need."
As he spoke, Yue Qing thought for a moment.
"Well, there's a guy who owes me a favor. I'm going to write a letter tomorrow and ask him to help."
"Row!"
Since Yue Qingdu praised and recommended him, there would definitely be no problem. Li Ming didn't ask any more questions and agreed immediately.
Sure enough, the next day, Yue Qing sent out a letter, and then he plunged into the intensive renovation project of the martial arts hall.
a few days later.
Shaoshi Mountain.
An old monk was slowly practicing the most basic Shaolin Weituo Palm in the courtyard.
"Brother Xuannan, are you okay?"
Abbot Xuanci walked in with several eminent monks of the Xuan generation, including the head monk of the Discipline Institute, Xuanji.
"That's all right."
Xuan Nan forced a smile, but his expression was less strong than before.
Last time in Qixia Town, Xuan Nan was defeated by Li Ming, and it took him a long time to get over the defeat. He has been recuperating from his injuries during this period.
Xuan Nan found it hard to accept that he was defeated by a warrior who was one realm lower than him.
After he came back, he consciously never went to the Dharma Hall again, nor did he care about the affairs in the Arhat Hall, and he stayed indoors all the time.
Xuan Ci tried to persuade him many times, but to no avail.
And just recently, Li Ming's fame skyrocketed, and even Shangguan Yundun died at his hands.
After hearing the news, Xuan Nan's depressed mood was finally relieved a lot, and he gradually started to go out.
But there was one thing he couldn't figure out, that was when he fought with Li Ming before, he could clearly feel that the other party was in the innate realm at that time. The key was that he used an extremely powerful sword technique to defeat him across borders.
Xuan Nan has always been ashamed of it.
But now, based on information gathered from all sides, there is no doubt that Li Ming is at the Grandmaster level again.
At such a young age, could he have come so far in such a short time?
Xuan Nan was a little bit unconvinced.
But it doesn't make sense to say that he had been deliberately hiding his strength.
But no matter what, Master Li is definitely not an ordinary person, and it is not unfair that I lost to him.
Seeing Xuan Ci coming, Xuan Nan stopped his palm technique and stood up straight.
"Master, what brings you here today?"
"Brother Xuannan, take a look for yourself."
As he spoke, Abbot Xuanci handed him a piece of paper.
The above is relevant information about some recent events in the martial arts world.
After Xuan Nan took a casual glance, his eyes suddenly widened.
"This, Blood Knife Ancestor..."
Obviously, he also saw the news that Li Ming defeated the Blood Knife Ancestor and was a little bit unbelieving.
As they are also at the Grandmaster level, they are more aware of the horror of the Blood Knife Ancestor.
A few years ago, among the several masters who joined forces to attack the Blood Knife Sect, there were people from their Shaolin Sect.
However, this group of masters all failed and were unable to return from the Great Snow Mountain.
To deal with a strong man like the Blood Knife Ancestor, even the abbot, Senior Brother Xuanci, might not be his match.
If we want to win, we can only invite a few seniors out from the back mountain.
And this Li Ming...
The mystery is so difficult that I cannot find the answer.
What kind of miraculous adventure or opportunity did he have to become so strong at this age?
"Junior Brother Xuannan, it seems that we have to go to this martial arts gym again."
Hearing this, Xuan Nan lowered his head with some guilt.
Because the last time he went to Qianming Martial Arts School, he did not complete the task and ended up making a mess of it.
Li Ming interfered with him and he didn't get to ask the questions he needed to. Instead, he started fighting... and he hasn't won yet.
Moreover, they still didn't figure out where the martial arts in Li Ming's hands came from, and how many of them were related to their Shaolin School.
After the last time, the things that the Beggars' Sect did that were not very decent also affected the reputation of Shaolin.
This matter was widely circulated in the society and received a lot of criticism.
Many people said that the two Shaolin monks went to a martial arts gym to cause trouble, and then colluded with the Beggars' Gang to poison other people's wells. This was simply despicable to the extreme.
It is precisely because he cannot save face that Xuan Nan is unwilling to show up in public during this period.
"Don't worry, Junior Brother, you don't need to help me this time. I have my own arrangements. This Master Li is so strong, it's not appropriate to hurt his relationship with him. Junior Brother Xuancheng will soon come out of retreat, he should be very interested in this."
Xuanci and Xuannan discussed.
at the same time.
It is located on Taishi Mountain of Songshan Mountain, not far from the main gate of Shaolin Temple.
Shengguan Peak——
Zuo Lengchan held the message in his hand, his expression changing again and again...
Hulong Villa.
A majestic figure stood with his hands behind his back, and behind him stood several spies from the Huolong Villa, among whom was Shangguan Haitang in white.
"This kid is really amazing. It seems that I misjudged him. However, if I cannot use this strength, it will be an extremely unstable factor."
The Iron-hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi muttered to himself.
When Shangguan Haitang came back to report this matter, he said that a very powerful guy appeared in Qixia Town, but Zhu Wusi didn't take it seriously at all.
How powerful can you be?
They, the Huolong Villa, are responsible for monitoring the world, and have seen many geniuses emerging in the world.
According to Shangguan Haitang's description, at this age, it would be great if Li Ming could at most break through to the Innate Realm, which would not cause any impact.
Zhu Wusi was busy planning his own great cause and didn't take this seriously at all.
But he didn't expect that in the following period of time, all kinds of news about the martial arts school in Qixia Town came one after another, making him feel that he had made a mistake...
But then, a gleam of light flashed in Zhu Wusi's eyes, as if he was planning something.
