In the deep forest near the river.
A large open space was cleared around the dilapidated small temple.
A thatched shed was built behind the small temple.
in thatched shed,
Several smelting furnaces built with stones and filled with mud stood among them. The charcoal fire in the smelting furnaces was already burning red.
Even though they were in a simple thatched shed with air leakage from all sides, the Taoist priests in the shed had their faces flushed with heat. They rolled up their sleeves one by one, opened their arms, and under the command of Master Su Wu, melted a large piece into an indescribable
The regular-shaped 'iron' is broken into fine pieces, and then divided into several piles according to the different textures.
When materials are very expensive and scarce, Dongliu Island's sword casting technology is most effective.
Although the black statue of Ksitigarbha is half a man tall, Su Wu wants to use it to forge suitable swords for his disciples and Master Chilong, so the materials are still somewhat scarce, so he needs to use them sparingly.
At this moment, it is most appropriate to use the sword-making technology of Dongliu Island.
Ding ding ding…
Dangdangdang...
Xianzheng, Xianyi, Xianchun each wielded a big hammer and a small hammer, and finally divided all the iron into several piles of small iron pieces.
Showing truth, showing prosperity, showing straightness, several female crowns were busy pouring dustpan after dustpan of fuel charcoal into the furnace to ensure the high temperature of the furnace.
Su Wu selected the "jade steel" suitable for use as "heart iron" from the iron blocks, filled it into the furnace, and calcined it into rectangular steel bars. Then he spoke to Chilong Zhenren, who had been observing him casting the sword.
He shouted: "Master, now it's up to you and me to work together to forge the sword!"
I have also taught you how to use the "Ghost and God Training Technique" and "Heart Training" before.
You need to be more familiar with how to use the two, so that you can successfully use them!"
"Someone knows!"
Chilong Zhenren responded, rolled up his sleeves on his elbows, and tied them tightly with ties to prevent the clothes on his elbows from slipping off. He looked at the big hammer in Su Wu's hand, and then put the sledgehammer in his hand.
He changed to a small hammer and walked to the iron felt.
The eldest disciple concentrated his attention and waved the big hammer.
Every time it hits the rectangular steel bar, the shape and outline of the steel bar will change slightly, gradually moving closer to the shape of the sword.
At this time, the disciple's mind seems to have partially extended into the steel bar, so he can penetrate every change in the steel bar. The hammer in his hand can also make subtle adjustments in time according to the changes, making the entire sword blade
The craftsmanship became more and more precise, and because the sword blade merged with the disciple's mind, it gave birth to a different kind of spirituality.
"If this forging method can be used to create the sword that the master needs, there will be a 99% chance that the charm of the great path of the ancestor can be connected with the master himself. The master will be able to use the sword like an arm.
refer to!"
Master Chilong was still observing his disciples making sword shapes, when Su Wu suddenly raised his head and spoke to him.
The eldest disciple was doing two things at once. While he was making the shape of the sword, he could also concentrate on talking to him.
Master Chilong nodded and said: "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
Someone is watching you use the forging method in this way, integrating your mind with the sword, and you have a vague understanding.
After thousands of tempers - can one's own charm and talisman body be integrated into this sword that is gradually taking shape with continuous forging? It is similar to a certain idea of using talismans to refine swords.
It’s just that the materials we are using now were not available to us at that time.”
talking,
During the gap between the big hammer in Su Wu's hand, Chilong also swung the small hammer to help Su Wu correct the sword embryo more perfectly, removing burrs and dents!
As he said, he had observed Su Wu forging weapons for such a long time, and he had indeed gained something.
The moment he made a move, he instantly entered the state of 'Heart Forging'.
His thoughts and Su Wu's thoughts can complement each other,
The big hammer and the small hammer fall alternately on the sword embryo,
It seemed that the only sound left in the thatched hut was a pair of masters wielding hammers and forging weapons!
Before long,
The sword embryo was completely created.
Su Wu held the iron tongs in his hand, picked up the tail of the sword, and carefully observed the fine lines on the sword body that were forged by the hammer.
After a while,
He looked at the somewhat nervous Chilong Zhenren: "Top grade!
You can proceed to the next step!”
Upon hearing this, Master Chilong breathed a sigh of relief.
Made of fire,
Earth-covered burning blade,
coarse grinding,
finely ground,
decorate.
Chilong Zhenren was involved in every step that followed until the entire sword was completely produced.
Su Wu held the scabbard with one hand and placed the sword blade under the sun with the other. The sunlight flowed, making the silver frost-like sword have a cold light flowing like water. He suddenly turned his wrist, and the sword light flew vertically, hitting the person in front of him.
A small tree as thick as a bowl was cut in half!
Crash--
The small tree swayed and fell into the forest, startling several birds that were inhabiting the surrounding woods.
He sheathed the sword and hung the entire sheathed sword on the wooden post in front of the thatched shed.
The Taoists in Beilu Mountain looked at the wooden pillars wrapped in shark skin and the shiny black swords, and they couldn't hide the look of longing in their eyes.
After Master Chilong witnessed Su Wu's sword test, he asked Su Wu: "How is it? How is the quality?"
"Just by virtue of the sharpness of this sword, it can cut through all kinds of enemies.
It’s a semi-superior sword!” Su Wu replied to Master Chilong.
After hearing what he said, Master Chilong grinned: "It seems that the first time a certain person made a sword, the result was pretty good, and it's reasonable. Which disciple are you going to give this sword to?"
Su Wu shook his head and said: "Junior sister Ding Ling and all my disciples all hope to get a handy sword.
We tried our best to create eight swords and let them choose by themselves.
Sometimes it’s not just the person who picks the sword, the sword also picks the person.”
He paused, looked at Chilong Zhenren, and continued: "This time, you will be in charge of the entire sword-making process, and I will assist you."
With that said, he handed the big hammer to Master Chilong and replaced it with the small hammer in his master's hand.
"Do you want me to preside over the entire process?
What should I do if I mess up?" Chilong Zhenren took the sledgehammer and asked Su Wu with a frown.
Su Wu gathered the jade steel and poured it into the smelting furnace while saying: "There are ten pieces of jade steel here. If every sword is forged smoothly and does not need to be recast, there will be two pieces of jade steel material left.
, and can also help you refine the sword in your sword box.
】
If the forging does not go smoothly,
It is impossible to say that the materials that contain the charm of the great path of the ancestors must be shared among your disciples and satisfy their respective requirements first.
Screw it or not,
Master can just figure it out."
"..."
Chilong Zhenren scratched his head and could only gather his energy to carefully check every sword-making process, and strive to ensure that there are no factors that may lead to failure in each process.
Time passes slowly.
The tinkling sound kept ringing in the deep forest.
There were occasional exclamations and cheers from the Taoists of Beilu Mountain.
When the sun sets in the west,
The sounds of weapons being forged in the thatched hut ceased.
At this moment, in the thatched shed, not only Su Wu and Chilong Zhenren, but also Ding Ling and the seven disciples of the Xianzi generation were all involved in the process of forging the weapons - before forging the second semi-superior weapon.
After the sword,
Chilong suddenly proposed that all his disciples should participate in the process, learn the 'forging of the heart' and the forging of ghosts and gods, and assist Zuo Suwu in forging swords and weapons.
He also handed over the reforging of the seven swords in his sword box to his disciples and grandsons for practice.
After they all have some feel,
Then they assisted Zuo Suwu one by one to forge their own swords.
In this way,
Even if the quality of the forged weapons is poor, it is the result of their own fault. It does not make them think that their master or ancestor prefers one, so they allocate good weapons to whomever.
Fortunately, Beilu Mountain Qundao is very careful in forging weapons.
Su Wu also didn't want his disciples to be burdened by weapons in the future, so he forged weapons more carefully.
Seven of the eight swords that were finally forged were semi-supreme.
Only when Su Wu and Ding Ling cooperated to forge swords, Ding Ling used the "Mrs. Wang Yan" to use the ghost and god forging method to help Su Wu forge a superior sword.
He successfully forged a weapon that all his disciples were satisfied with, and refinished the sword in the box for Master Chilong.
In the end, more than half of the jade steel was left.
It's getting dark,
On the wooden pillar in front of the thatched hut, there is a sword decorated with it. The blade is hidden in the sheath, and the sharp edge is not visible.
Xianzheng brought the oil lamp and illuminated the hut.
Su Wu picked up the first sword and handed it to Xian Zheng: "This is the sword that your master and I made together. Come and try it out and see if it's suitable."
"yes."
Xianzheng respectfully agreed, and took the pitch-black sword with some excitement and some apprehension.
Hold the hilt of the sword in your hand and exert force gently.
The silvery frost-like sword light pours out of the black scabbard like flowing water.
The sword light flashed, as if it was breathing!
"Can.
It seems that this sword is quite suitable for you." Su Wu looked at the sword light that was retracting and retracting on the sword as if it was breathing. He nodded, and called the youngest disciple 'Xian Sheng', and the generals quickly caught up with him.
The tall sword was handed to Xian Sheng.
Xian Sheng held up the sword with both hands with great effort, and followed the example of his elder brother, drawing out the blade.
Her sword showed no abnormality.
The blade of the floating cold sword did not show much dazzling light in the straw shed.
This sword did not choose its current owner - 'Xian Sheng'.
However, among the eight swords in the thatched hut, none of them would entrust themselves to a nüguan who was as small as a bean and had not yet started Taoism.
Su Wu took the sword from Xian Sheng's hand. Under Xian Sheng's slightly timid eyes, he held the hilt of the sword and drew the blade. The sword light spread out like a tide of cold air, melted into the air, and became...
Make wisps of sword light wander around.
This wisp of sword light can also cut people's skin!
"Do not worry.
When you grow up, you will be able to use the power of this sword.
You must treat it well in the future." Su Wu put the sword back into its sheath, handed the sword to Xian Sheng, and rubbed her head, "Normally, this sword is enough for you."
"Thank you, Master." Xian Sheng thought that Master was going to take her sword away, but unexpectedly she found the lost sword and kowtowed to Su Wu with joy.
