Lin Zheng's words made old man Jin Guo feel silent for a while. They just didn't bother to pay attention to the outside world, but it didn't mean they were idiots. If the storm would eventually subside, then it wouldn't matter if they didn't explain anything. But the current direction of the wind is indeed not good.
Normally, murders occur every year in the cultivation world. Generally speaking, unless they are the parties to the murders, it doesn't even take ten days and a half for the public to forget all the things that have nothing to do with them. However, now, that sect has destroyed its entire family.
More than two years have passed since the murder, but the world is still staring at the Jianjian Villa. This is really unreasonable.
"So, have you done it or not?" Lin Zheng asked casually, "If it's not relevant, then find someone to go out and explain. Otherwise, if you are bored in the villa making swords, sooner or later, trouble will come to your door!"
"What do you think?" Old Man Jin Guo asked, staring at Lin Zheng teasingly.
"What I'm sure of is that you, the old man, definitely don't, and the same goes for Miss Yinhua. I can't say for sure if I haven't seen anyone else."
Jin Hao laughed when he heard this, "If those mediocre people could think like you, they wouldn't be fooled by others!"
After finishing speaking, Jin Hao sighed softly, "If you want to say that this matter has nothing to do with our Zhujian Villa, that's not right. After the murder, several senior brothers and I went over to investigate.
Judging from the scene at that time, it was indeed the blood sacrifice sword-making method of our Sword Making Villa! However, the sword-making method is different from that of our Sword Making Villa. The blood sacrifice sword-making method of the Sword Making Villa only uses the essence and blood of living creatures.
However, it seems from the situation at the scene that what was sacrificed was not only the blood essence of the entire sect, but also their souls, which is not in line with the sword-making philosophy of our Sword-making Villa."
Your Sword Forging Villa has arrested people for blood sacrifices, and you still insist on such a ghost concept!
As if he had guessed Lin Zheng's thoughts, Jin Hao stared at Lin Zheng and said: "We do occasionally catch a few idiots and bring them as blood sacrifices, but usually it's because those guys provoke us. In fact,
Yes, that kind of thing is not as good as the spirit beasts we raise when used for blood sacrifices. The blood of spirit beasts is pure and mild, which can greatly improve the effect of the sword-making method of blood sacrifice, and the blood essence of those fools will be mixed with them.
The quality of the things made out of resentment is too poor, and it might even backfire on the user."
So that's it! Lin Zheng showed a look of surprise. The Sword Making Villa is very persistent in the way of making swords and has been striving for excellence. Since they all despise the essence and blood mixed with resentment, then sacrificing the souls of living beings is even more important.
I dislike it, because in this way, the sword forged will be contaminated by the resentment of living beings. Unless it is a person who practices specific Taoism, it cannot be used by ordinary people. A sword that cannot be used by ordinary people may not be able to enter the golden cage.
Such an old man's vision.
"Then what is going on?" Lin Zheng asked curiously, "Is there a traitor in your Sword Making Villa?"
"No!" Jin Suo said, stroking his beard, "Since the establishment of our Sword Forging Villa, every disciple has been an outstanding swordsmith and has always adhered to the sword-making philosophy of our Sword Forging Villa. There has never been such a traitor.
This situation has happened before, but our Sword Making Villa has been thieves a few times."
"A thief?" Lin Zheng was surprised when he heard this. Zhujian Villa has a sect that is close to the strength of the Immortal Sect. How could he still be robbed?! This thief's level is pretty good!
"Yeah!" Jin Jiao nodded, "The most recent one was about eight years ago! The sword-making pavilion was stolen, and a precious sword embryo and several sword-making classics were lost, among which was the blood sacrifice sword-making method! So we guessed
, the murder more than two years ago should be related to this theft."
"I finally understand!" Lin Zheng stared at Jin Suo angrily, "I bet you guys think that the Tangtang Sword Making Villa was actually stolen by thieves. This kind of thing is too embarrassing, so you don't bother to explain it. That's right.
Bar?"
"There is such a factor." Old Man Jin Guo said with a smile, "But the most important thing is that no one is willing to take this job. If you have time to talk nonsense with those mediocre people, you might as well study more on your own sword-making skills!"
Lin Zheng felt the veins on his forehead jump when he heard this, and he almost went crazy. Finally, he just exhaled and said slowly: "Forget it, this is your Sword Forging Villa's business, I'm too lazy to be angry with you, an old man.
!”
Lin Zheng didn't want to take care of it, but Tiedan shouted angrily: "Master, do we have any clues about the thief? He is such a bastard. He stole things from our villa and dared to frame us
, this guy must be captured, drained of his blood and used to make a sword!"
"Silly boy!" Jin Hao looked at Tie Dan amusedly, "If we had any clues about that guy, we would have dried him into sausages long ago, and it would be his turn to frame us."
I'll go and dry it into sausages. Can you eat it after it's finished? After a burst of sweat, Lin Zheng pondered for a while. Since you've come here, it's not a big deal if you can't finish things well.
.
"What sword embryos did you lose back then?"
"It's an iron sword embryo in a stone." Jin Bao showed a distressed look as he said that, "It took us several years to collect it at the Sword Making Villa. We old men were still discussing who should be used to cast it.
The sword was stolen by that bastard before there was any result!"
A sword embryo made of iron in stone! This is really an incredible treasure. The thief's eyes are really poisonous. He stole a valuable item right away! But in this way, it becomes more certain that the perpetrator of the murder was
, indeed not from the Sword Making Villa! You must know that the iron in the stone is a metallic treasure transformed from earth-attribute particles. Although it exhibits metallic properties, it is essentially an earth-attribute material.
Material, and earth overcomes water, using essence and blood with water properties to sacrifice to a treasure that is essentially earth property, isn't this nonsense! And this fully shows that the perpetrator of the murder is simply a layman.
"Is there really no way to find that guy?" Tie Dan asked unwillingly, "The iron in the stone! He stole our iron in the stone! That is a treasure that even money can't buy!"
Looking at Tie Dan with a face full of reluctance, Jin Hao began to ponder slightly, then pinched his blackened beard and said: "If you want to talk about clues, you can't say there are no clues at all."
Tie Dan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then let's find someone quickly! As long as we find that guy, we can not only clear the name of our villa, but also get Shi Zhongtie back!"
Jin Hao looked at Lin Zheng and said: "Since you have heard about this incident, you should know that according to rumors, the sword that sacrificed the entire sect's blood finally flew to our Sword Forging Villa."
Lin Zheng nodded, "There is indeed such a rumor."
"That rumor should be true!" Jin Hao said seriously, "After hearing the rumor, we conducted an investigation inside the villa. Finally, many disciples said that they had seen a bloody light coming from above our villa.
Fly by."
Lin Zheng was surprised when he heard this, "Could it be that that guy is hiding in the wild forest behind the villa?!"
"I don't know about this." Jin Hao shook his head slightly and said, "Although we have organized people to search, the mountain forest is too huge and too dangerous, so after a few days of searching,
I was forced to give up."
"In this case, that guy shouldn't be in there!" Tie Dan said with certainty, "We, the people at Sword Forging Villa, are so powerful that we can't stay there for long, and that guy definitely can't stay there!"
"It's hard to say!" Lin Zheng laughed hoarsely, "Different cultivation methods must be good at different things. Since that thief can sneak into the important area of your villa to steal things, it means that he is hiding.
Ying's ability is quite good, so his ability to avoid risks in the mountains and forests will be much stronger than yours, so just because you can't stay, doesn't mean he can't stay."
"That's the truth!" Jin Suo nodded slightly, "But in the final analysis, this is just a guess. After all, the wild mountains and forests are full of all kinds of crises. I don't think most people would think of hiding in such a ghost place.
."
Lin Zheng smiled after hearing this, "If you want to be sure, there is still a way!"
"Oh?!" Jin Hao's eyes lit up, "What good idea do you have?"
"As I told you just now, I have dabbled in the art of weapon refining, so when I had nothing to do, I messed with some messy things." After saying that, Lin Zheng took out an attribute classifier, "For example,
I named this attribute classifier. As long as there are samples, it can accurately indicate the location of substances with the same attributes."
"There is such a convenient thing?!" Jin Hao was excited when he heard that, and immediately snatched the classifier from Lin Zheng's hand. Lin Zheng couldn't laugh or cry for a while. Can you use it?
"With this thing, it will be much more convenient to explore for natural and earthly treasures in the future!"
"That's hard to say!" Lin Zheng couldn't help but laugh, "It can only point to one thing at a time. Unless you want to find a specific material, otherwise, it is really not suitable for exploration!"
"That's not bad!" Jin Jiao happily rubbed the classifier in his hand, "Some materials are scattered in the mining area, and it is quite a waste of energy to dig them out. With this, a lot of effort can be saved!"
As he spoke, Jin Hao looked at Lin Zheng with a smile on his face, "I want this thing, please give me a price, kid!"
"This doesn't cost anything. It's just something I made casually. If needed, I'll make another one myself. If you like it, I'll give it to you!"
"Then you're welcome!" Jin Hao really liked this classifier, but Tie Dan also liked it very much! After looking at Tie Dan's shining eyes, Jin Hao said to Lin Zheng: "Boy, since
You can still make it, so can you make more? You see, this silly boy like Tiedan needs one. He often can't distinguish between various materials. If there is a classifier, it will be less easy to make mistakes.
"
"I don't have any!"
"Pah!" He was hit on the forehead.
Looking at Tie Dan covering his forehead, Lin Zheng laughed, and then said to Jin Hao: "There is no problem with this, but it takes some time to make, so I can't provide you with more for the time being."
"This is natural. After all, who can do so many things for refining weapons!" Jin Suo said cheerfully, and then reminded: "But if you have something ready, you have to be the first to give it to us.
Send it here, I placed the order with you first!"
"Okay!" Lin Zheng looked at the old man amusedly, "I'll bring it to you later, no matter how much you want!"
"This is what you said! If you don't get it out by then, old man, I will be in a hurry with you!"
"I know!" Lin Zheng smiled angrily. He is really an old kid. "Before this, you should learn how to use this thing first!"
"Yes!" Tie Dan showed a look of surprise, and then said with a sad face: "Mr. Lin just said that this classifier needs samples to point to things with the same attributes. Do we still have iron in the stone?"
"This..." Jin Hao suddenly gave a bitter smile. Treasures like Shi Zhong Tie are not so easy to obtain. Sword Casting Villa spent many years saving for such a sword embryo, and all the results were lost.
Stole!
"I'll ask someone to look for it right now. I have to get a little bit of it no matter what!" If the whereabouts of the sword embryo can be located by using a classifier, it will be worth the money spent!
"No need!" Lin Zheng stopped the impatient Jin Jiao, "I have a little bit of Shi Zhongtie."
"You have the iron in the stone?!"
"Yeah! Not much, just a little." As he said that, Lin Zheng took out an iron ingot, a palm-sized piece, which was heavy in his hand. At this time, he refined it on the Wandering Peak. In fact,
It proves that the Wandering Peak is indeed a treasure mountain, and a large amount of iron in the stone can be extracted by casually refining the stones on the mountain.
Looking at the stone in Lin Zheng's hand, Jin Jiao was a little dumbfounded, "What do you call this?!"
"That's a little bit!" Lin Zheng weighed the iron ingot in his hand. The gravity battle ax that he had refined for the Bull Demon King at Wandering Peak was pure iron in stone. This piece of iron in Lin Zheng's hand was also
It's not even one-tenth of Lao Niu's axe.
Jin Guo almost choked, rolled his eyes, and then said: "Okay, okay! I know you have a baby, so don't show off in front of me, old man, or I'll just grab it!"
Tie Dan said excitedly: "Mr. Lin, can you show it to me? I haven't seen iron in stone yet!"
Lin Zheng smiled when he heard this, and then handed the iron ingot to Tie Dan. Tie Dan had already prepared his hands to take it, but he almost missed it. This thing was too heavy, it was just an iron ingot.
It must have weighed hundreds of kilograms. Although it was almost too heavy to lift, Tie Dan was still quite excited. He had never touched such a rare material!
"If you like it, I'll give it to you!" Lin Zheng touched Tie Dan's head and smiled. He really liked this lively boy!
Tiedan was surprised when he heard that, and immediately shouted: "Thank you, Mr. Lin!"
But Jin Hao was startled and hurriedly shouted: "No!" After taking the iron ingot from Tie Dan, Jin Hao smiled bitterly and said to Lin Zheng: "Boy, what do you say about such a precious thing?
Just give it away, put it away quickly!"
Tie Dan finally realized the preciousness of the iron in the stone, and said somewhat sarcastically: "Sir, please put it away!"
Lin Zheng blocked the hand that handed the gold ingot to him and said with a smile: "Tie Dan and I are very attached to each other. This iron ingot can be regarded as the object that brings me and Tie Dan together. It doesn't matter whether it is expensive or not."
Afterwards, Lin Zheng smiled and flicked Tie Dan's forehead, "You have taken all the delicious and delicious things, why can't you get this one? Put it away!"
Jin Hao looked at Lin Zheng's love for Tie Dan. He was relieved, but also quite helpless. It seemed that this boy really didn't intend to take the things back. He really didn't know where this boy came from.
Yes, treasures like Shi Zhongtie are given away as soon as you ask for them. The key is that they are not small!
After sighing helplessly, Jin Jiao put the iron ingot back into Tie Dan's hand, "Take it! Remember to keep it well, and at the same time, work harder to practice, and strive to turn this iron ingot into your work as soon as possible!
"
"Yes! Master, this disciple will definitely work hard to practice!" Tiedan nodded seriously, and then bowed to Lin Zheng, "Thank you, Mr. Lin!"
"Yes!" Lin Zheng smiled and nodded, "Work hard, you will definitely become an amazing swordsmith!"
Tie Dan was very happy to hear this encouragement. He held the iron ingot and burst into giggles. His cute and innocent look made the two adults laugh. He was really a silly boy.
"So what's next, kid?" Jin Hao looked at Lin Zheng and said, "I already have Shi Zhongtie, how do I use this classifier?"
"It's very simple! Do you see a grid below? Open the grid and put the sample into it. After starting, the classifier will indicate the nearest objects with the same attribute."
After hearing this, Jin Jiao checked the attribute classifier, and sure enough he saw a grid. Tie Dan quickly put the iron in the stone up very obediently, but the palm-sized iron ingot was too big and couldn't fit in at all!
Seeing Tie Dan getting anxious, Lin Zheng couldn't help but smile, and then stretched out his hand to touch the iron ingot. Suddenly, a miniature alchemy array appeared on the iron ingot. As the alchemy array flashed away, the iron ingot appeared.
A carved bead condensed out.
After putting the beads into the sorter, Lin Zheng smiled at Tie Dan and said: "Go back and put the beads away. When your sword is finished, use it to make a sword tassel."
Well! Tie Dan nodded happily, that bead is so beautiful, it can definitely make a very nice sword tassel!
Jin Jiao looked at the delicate beads in the grid, then looked at Lin Zheng who was talking to Tie Dan, and then shook his head. He just refined a bead casually without using a fire. This boy
It's really getting more and more mysterious! But forget it, judging from his attitude towards Tie Dan, at least it will definitely not be a disaster.
At that moment, Jin Hao closed the grid. After thinking about it for a while, he found the key to starting the classifier. He started the classifier without hesitation. The next moment, a red light shot from the classifier.
came out and landed firmly on the iron ingot in Tie Dan's hand. Seeing this scene, Jin Hao's face immediately showed a look of joy. It was indeed reliable. In this case, as long as the thief really brought the sword embryo,
Hiding in the wild mountains and forests, we can definitely find him!
