Chapter 669 (1/2)
Hearing the sound, Xu Xi hurriedly got up, put away his life sword, opened his mouth and said, ”grinding, why not grinding? At an age, if you don't hurry up, you won't have that strength in the future.”
People who have lost their eyesight are generally more outstanding in other senses than others.
So is Xu Xi.
He can roughly infer from his voice that the guest should be a very young man.
”That's good.” the man's voice was very gentle.
”Young master, if you want to sharpen your sword, just give it to me.” Xu Xi said again.
”Well,” the guest smiled.
Immediately, a chill began.
Xu Xi's heart suddenly a screen.
What a sharp sword.
He thought.
It's just that the breath is so sharp that it gives people a cold feeling. We can imagine how sharp the body of this sword is.
Xu Xi stretched out his hands and held the young childe's sword, looking very solemn.
First, as a sword sharpener, he should respect the guests. Second, as a sword repairman, he knows better than others that sword repairman cherishes his own life sword.
Xu Xi put the long sword with a faint chill in his hand on a purple brown Xuanqi boulder.
There is an old grinding mark on the boulder, just like a groove.
There are also two caves under the Li mark, which are concave into the stone table, containing cold water, which is cold into the bone marrow.
This is a necessary water cave for sharpening swords and dipping in water.
Xu Xi's rough fingers gently wiped the body of the sword in his hand and fumbled back and forth.
He is looking for the cutting edge area of the long sword, so as to maintain the fixed edge angle of the long sword when sharpening.
He was already very familiar with this, so he quickly made preliminary preparations.
Then Xu Xi put the long sword into the groove of the grindstone and took out a bright stone with a trace of cold air.
When he was still in the door, he burned incense and bathed, vegetarian fasting for three days, and then personally jumped into the bright stone pit in shan'ao, braved the bone chilling chill, and took out a solid bright stone.
The cold water is as clear as glass, and the cold water flows into the bone marrow.
In the cold water, Xu Xi began to grind the sword slowly.
”Although master Xu can't see things, his skill is more meticulous than most sword sharpeners with normal eyes.” the young childe watched Xu Xi's sword sharpening technique and praised it seriously.
Speaking of this, Xu Xi was elated immediately. ”It's not true, it's fine workmanship. I just pay more attention than other sword grinders.”
Because he is also a sword practitioner, he knows very well that the sword practitioner attaches importance to the life sword and thinks in an transposition, so he will pay more attention to sharpening the sword.
Similarly, it is precisely because he has been to the battlefield and killed the demon family that he attaches great importance to his work - maybe his more heart today can help Jianxiu kill more demons and even save the life of Jianxiu on the battlefield in the future.
”Lord Xu is so old, why don't you go back to the eastern region,” the man asked as he looked at it. ”You have made great achievements in the North River pass for thousands of years. If you go back to the eastern region, you will be honored to return to your hometown. It's not more comfortable than sharpening your sword in such a dangerous place.”
Xu Xi said with a smile, ”comfortable? I have no wife and no children. Beiheguan is my home. Where can I have a happy old death here when I go back to the eastern regions? Besides, I eat and drink well. Where can you see that I am not comfortable?”
”Really?” the young man seemed to be on a par with Xu Xi, and said, ”there are ups and downs in the battlefield outside the territory. Beiheguan may fall one day. If you stay in such a place, Lord Xu can really be comfortable?”
For the words of young customers, Xu Xi was neither angry nor anxious. It didn't matter. He said slowly, ”I'm blind, so I never open my eyes and tell lies.”
After these words, the young guest finally stopped talking.
Xu Xi didn't care and began to concentrate on his work.
The man smiled and stood quietly.
In the small sword mill, the afternoon sun shines in, so that people can clearly see the dust particles floating in the air. Coupled with the clear water sound of cold water pouring on the sword, people feel particularly comfortable.
Time passed slowly.
About an hour later.
The sound of the water stopped suddenly.
”OK.” Xu Ximan's wrinkled face was filled with a happy smile, as if he had just completed a work of art.
He returned the freshly sharpened sword to the young customer with satisfaction.
”The biggest effect of sharpening the sword is to make the sword sharper,” Xu Xi said sincerely. ”But the childe's sword itself is sharp enough. Sharpening the sword is not too important.”
It's like a poor student. Opening a small stove can bring him a huge improvement of more than ten points, but if a school bully with full marks opens more small stoves for him, it won't do much.
”I know.” the man's reaction was very flat and didn't seem to be too surprised.
After a pause, the man said again, ”Lord Xu, I happen to have no spirit stone with me. Can I settle the salary in another way?”
Xu Xi heard the speech, waved his hand, turned his head and ”looked” at the man. It doesn't matter: ”even if I don't bring the spirit stone, I'm old. No matter how much spirit stone I earn, I still carry it into the earth. You take this sword and kill several more devil cubs as my reward for sharpening your sword this time.”
”That's not good,” the young childe Xu Xi imagined shook his head and said seriously, ”there's no reason to eat overlord meal. Isn't this bullying Lord Xu? Are you kind?”
”When I first came here, I heard Lord Xu say that he wanted to see the shaozong of sword sect. Although I didn't know what it was like to repair a magic sword,” the man whispered slowly, ”but since Lord Xu wants to see it, I'll help Lord Xu as a reward for sharpening my sword.”
”Ah?” Xu Xi didn't react.
Buzz!
The next moment, there was a crisp sword chant in his ear.
Then he felt a strong wind blowing his face, and a cold feeling touched his face.
”Is this?” Xu Xi vaguely felt that the sword edge seemed to pass by in front of him. He was suddenly stunned before he knew what the situation was.
Because... He was shocked to find that the magic gas that had been wrapped in his eyes for a hundred years often burst up in the dead of night, disturbing him restlessly and painful. At this time, it was silent and disappeared without warning?!
What's going on?!
For a moment, Xu Xi only felt that his mind was blank.
When the evil spirit disappears, it means that... He can see things again!
Thinking like this, the yuan force in his body has surged up and quickly rushed to his eyes.
If the dry desert ushered in a spring rain, his dry eyes were rapidly wetting up, and some hazy shadows gradually emerged.
Xu Xi is recovering her eyesight, but it will take some time.
The old Jianxiu, who had been fighting in beiheguan for many years, trembled his lips and couldn't help sobbing: ”thank you... Childe.”
He was not stupid to live so long in the dangerous Beihe pass.
Xu Xi understood that the childe in front of him must have dispelled the evil Qi in his eyes.
If you want to take a look at the young sword sect, the most important premise is that he must be able to see people
What the young childe said to help him was to help him heal his eyes.
Although Xu Xina is old, he is still tall and straight. At the moment, he trembles violently because of the excitement in his heart.
The young man waited silently.
A moment later, Xu Xi's eyes, which had not been opened for a hundred years, finally reopened.
The moment he opened his eyes, he first turned his head and looked at the childe who cured his eyes.
It was as like as two peas of his own, a very young face.
In addition, the face was unexpectedly handsome and looked at him with a smile.
”Thank you, young master.” Xu Xi didn't know what to say. He could only repeat this sentence again and again.
”It's only natural that I owe money. Lord Xu helped me sharpen my sword. I helped Lord Xu round his hope. As a reward, Lord Xu doesn't need to be polite.” Lu Qingshan whispered that he thought he just helped him cure his eyes. In fact, he had completely helped him round his hope.
”How can this be equal... Sharpening the sword is just a show of hands...” Xu Xi murmured, suppressing his voice.
