Chapter 21 Midnight Horror (1)
The fire burned red and the windbox whirred.
Accompanied by the Niu family's father and son, Yunji prepared to forge a knife.
Niu Da was dissatisfied in every possible way at first. Today was his wedding night. How could he not enter the bridal chamber and be dragged to forge a knife?
When he saw the bone knife and two fangs that Yunji took out, Niu Da's eyes widened immediately.
The knife is next, and the fangs are really amazing.
It has fangs one and a half feet long. What kind of strange beast could have such huge teeth?
"Could it be..."
Niu Da's throat rolled, and he glanced at his father. The old blacksmith signaled him to silence and concentrate on pulling the wind box.
The dragon character that Niu Da swallowed, Old Niu also believed that even if it wasn't a dragon, it must be a behemoth like a hill. Being able to forge a knife with such fangs showed that the guest in front of him had extraordinary abilities.
Yunji could not see the shock of the Niu family father and son. He was completely immersed in the forging, staring intently at the bone knife and dragon teeth in the furnace.
As the fire grew stronger, the cracks between the broken bones on the bone knife became a bit larger, and they were actually slowly cracking, while the dragon's teeth remained motionless, as if they were not afraid of the flames.
After waiting for an hour, the bone knife was almost bent, and the dragon's teeth had only melted the surface layer.
It is difficult to completely melt the Jiaoya with ordinary flames.
"wind."
Yunji suddenly made a sound, and the blacksmith and his son immediately pulled the wind switch with all their strength.
"wind!"
Yunji stared at the stove and took off his coat. Hearing this, the blacksmith and his son increased their strength.
"wind!!"
Yunji shouted and slapped the cold anvil into the stove, reached out his left hand and grabbed the bone knife directly. His action of grabbing the knife with his bare hands frightened the blacksmith and his son, thinking that Yunji was crazy.
It was a high-temperature furnace, and an iron knife would turn into molten iron if it went in, let alone human hands?
The expected burnout did not happen.
Under the frightened eyes of the blacksmith and his son, Yunji placed the bone knife and Jiaoya on the anvil, picked up the hammer and smashed it down.
Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The falling hammers were like pelting rain, and the impact from Yunji was endless. All you could hear was the constant sound of hammers, and all you could see were sparks flying.
Others forged the knife by taking the iron knife out of the stove, but Yunji, on the contrary, forged the knife directly in the stove. After a while, the anvil used to hold the knife was roasted red.
The Niu family father and son were dumbfounded. They subconsciously pulled the wind box in their hands. They had been forging knives for decades. For the first time in their lives, they saw the spectacle of forging knives in the fire.
What a strange person...
Old Man Niu sighed in his heart, respecting Yunji even more and even being in awe.
"Work harder! Hey yo, hey yo."
After Old Man Niu woke up, he exerted all his strength, shouted a slogan, and Niu Da pulled the wind box with all his strength.
From the afternoon until late at night, the sound of hammers in the blacksmith shop gradually stopped.
The Niu family's father and son pulled the wind box for most of the day. They were so tired that they were sweating profusely and could hardly stand still.
Although Yunji was very tired, his expression remained unchanged.
He often does this kind of laborious work himself. Although the fire casting method is not popular and it is difficult to create a real magical weapon, but as long as the fire is strong enough and the force is heavy enough, there is a chance to create a weapon that is comparable to the magical weapon.
The past experience of forging knives has shown a slight deviation today.
The strength of the Jiaoya is beyond expectation. After being forged for so long, the shape of the Jiaoya has hardly changed except for being a little flatter.
At this time, the two bone knives have been integrated into the dragon's teeth, and the outline has become a fang shape, as if two sharp fangs were pressed onto the two handles, which looks nondescript and strange.
"Sir, has the sword been forged yet?" Old Man Niu asked with honorifics. His eyesight could not tell whether it was successful or not.
"Keep the fire going and continue tomorrow." Yun Ji simply said, leaving the two knives in the stove. The knives cannot be separated from the fire for these three days, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted.
"Isn't it hot?" Niu Da was more curious about Yunji's hand that had just withdrawn from the handle of the knife.
"Do you dare to try?" Yunji glanced at Niu Da and said excitedly.
"What are you afraid of? I'll give it a try!" Niu Daqing was young and arrogant and refused to be convinced. He thought that Yunji had used some means to dare to forge a knife in the fire, so he raised his hand and grabbed it.
Old Man Niu exclaimed, it was already too late to stop him.
Niu Da was not convinced because he did not have enough eyesight. Old Niu had been forging knives for many years and could see that the temperature on the two knives was definitely not fake.
There was a hissing sound and a burning smell arose.
As soon as Niu Da's hand touched the handle of the knife, he was immediately scalded with blisters, which made him grin.
"Are you still trying?" Yun Ji asked.
"I won't try it anymore, I won't try it anymore, sir, it's a good idea." Niu Dalian waved his hands, this time he was convinced. A man like him who has been working in the iron industry for many years has rough skin and thick flesh. It's not a big deal if he gets burned. Just break the blisters and bandage them.
, I can still work tomorrow.
Rough people are easy to feed and don't care about minor injuries or pains.
Looking at the scars on Niu Da's hands meaningfully, Yunji smiled and said nothing.
Old Man Niu prepared a spare room for Yunji, and he himself stayed in the shop, filling the stove with enough charcoal for fear that the fire would go out and delay the master's forging of the knife.
Yunji was not polite. After moving into Niu's house, he fell asleep. The strenuous work of forging a knife was too energy-consuming and required a night of recovery.
At midnight, the old man Niu rubbed his big hands, drank old wine, and stared at the two knives in the stove without blinking, as if he were looking at his treasure.
I have been forging knives for decades. If two precious knives can emerge from the shop this time, I will make money just by virtue of my reputation.
The old blacksmith was focused on the knife in the stove, but his son Niu Da was thinking about his newly married wife.
The oil lamp was still on in the new house, and Niu Da's heart felt warm. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the bride sitting at the table.
The cold wind blowing open the door caused the candlelight to sway, and the room flickered between light and dark, reflecting the bride's face alternating in black and white, and the rouge on her lips looked even deeper red in the middle of the night.
The room was so quiet that it was strange. Niu Da didn't notice it. He closed the door, scratched his head and said with a smile: "We have a distinguished guest, helping dad to pull the wind box. Don't blame me for being late when we come back."
"I don't blame you, go get some rest early." The bride's voice was a bit shrill and didn't sound natural. Although she was speaking, her lips didn't move.
"Okay, okay! Hehe." Niu Da swallowed his saliva and walked towards the bride impatiently.
Perhaps he walked too hastily and brought up a gust of wind, which suddenly extinguished the unextinguished candle.
The room became dark, and the pale moon hung outside the window.
"You can't betray me..."
"Don't worry, Xiaocui, I will be good to you for the rest of my life..."
The two figures hugged each other and walked towards the bed. The old man walked, but the bride's feet did not move, dragging on the ground.
Rustling.
As the clothes ruffled, a fishy smell filled the room, and even a rough guy like Niu Da could smell it.
"What does it smell like? It's so fishy."
"My husband dislikes me."
"No, no, I'm not talking about Xiao Cui, it must be that the fish at the banquet was undercooked... You, why do you have scales on your body?"
"I suffered from a strange disease when I was a child. It was caused by the strange disease. Don't be afraid, sir."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
The room became quiet and a strange atmosphere filled the air.
The big boy began to tremble all over, and the fear in his eyes became more and more intense.
Not only did he touch something that looked like scales, he also touched a huge fish tail!
It was as if the person beside him was not the bride, but a strange fish.
"Ms. sir..."
A high-pitched and strange voice came to his ears, and Niu Da's heart almost stopped beating. He felt the fishy smell coming from beside him, and he was so scared that he raised his hands to block it.
ah!!!
The woman screamed.
"What's the injury on your hand? Go away! Go away!"
"I just got burned. I'm going to change the dressing. You, you need to rest first."
