1428, the true meaning of the Queen Mother of the West
"I see." Zhao Yong immediately understood Su Wu's intention and nodded, "After my subordinates were planning to refine a batch of dragon marrow real gold, they began to further research ways to improve the quality of this kind of gold and iron. , thinking of the master and his subordinates together.
The subordinates will fully cooperate with the general."
"Um."
Su Wu nodded, then turned to Ji Xingzhou and asked, "What training methods are used to train armored soldiers nowadays?"
He had previously promoted Han Gong Wu Liu to be the head of the Han Gui Department, and also taught him various forging techniques on Dongliu Island. It would take some time for Wu Liu to adapt to his own ink painting. Su Wu asked him to rest for the time being, so Not here today.
"There is no systematic forging method.
It's just that many techniques that have been used since the Qin and Han Dynasties are still in use today." Ji Xingzhou was stunned when he heard this, and then answered, "Is there something secretly hidden in this so-called forging method?"
Dongliu Island develops various forging methods such as Ghost Forging and Heart Forging. Firstly, it is difficult to obtain the killing stone and the resources are precious. Therefore, it is necessary to develop these kinds of forging methods in order to maximize the efficiency of developing the effect of the killing stone. Secondly, it is also because the killing stone is difficult to obtain and the resources are precious. These various forging methods can indeed attract the forces of heaven and earth during the use process, making the sword magically magical.
But now in the Divine Works Bureau, the monks are blessing the armored soldiers with the wish and the Taoist priests are carving various talismans and hexagrams on the armored soldiers. In fact, invisibly, the cooperation between heaven and earth has been attracted, which has surpassed the various forging techniques on Dongliu Island. However, it is beneficial but not harmful for Hangui workers to master one or two forging techniques.
"Proficient use of various forging methods can indeed blend one's mind with the dead objects of gold and iron, and it is more likely to endow the armored soldiers with various spiritualities." Su Wu opened his mouth and replied to Ji Xingzhou, "However, these forging methods are indeed not necessary. The means to grasp it.
Except for the Hangui craftsmen from the 'Hangui Department' who need to thoroughly participate in the forging of armored weapons, the other departments of the Shengong Bureau can learn or not learn various forging techniques."
Although Su Wu's current attitude toward forging practice was casual, everyone present was interested in it.
Now is the time when they are extremely ambitious and full of great ambitions. Now that they see an opportunity to improve even more, they naturally cannot let it go.
Ji Xingzhou looked at the expressions of the apprentices, grinned, and said to Su Wu: "In that case, then this kind of forging method must be learned.
A certain person is in charge of the training of armored soldiers in various disciplines, but he has not even mastered a single forging method, and if he tells it, he will make his apprentices laugh."
He casually bowed to Su Wu and said with a smile: "I wonder if the general can teach me a certain forging method? It might also help me show my holiness in front of these apprentices."
Everyone laughed heartily when they saw Ji Xingzhou's behavior.
They have been getting along with Ji Xingzhou for some time, and they also know that Master Ji has an easy-going and free temperament. The so-called dignity of a teacher is not worth mentioning here. Master Ji does not care at all about the so-called "showing his holiness in front of others". What he is talking about now , it’s just a joke.
Ji Xingzhou asked Su Wu for various forging techniques in order to teach them to the apprentices in the thatched cottage who were interested in this.
"I also taught several forging techniques to Wu Liu, the leader of the Han Gui Department. After becoming a Han Gui worker in the Han Gui Department, he can follow the leader Wu Liu to learn weapon forging techniques.
The several forging techniques I have mastered today are actually from Dongliu Island. Compared with the various methods of training swords and weapons in the world in ancient and modern times, they are actually more "swordsmanship". You can use these forging techniques as a reference, but you don't have to.
Immerse yourself in this path.
In the future, we should search extensively for the armor-making methods passed down from ancient to modern times all over the world, mix them together, and finally form a system of forging methods that are magical." Su Wu used this moment to give instructions to the apprentices, and then went to Dongliu Island.
All the forging techniques he learned were condensed into one idea, and were handed over to Ji Xingzhou, who would slowly learn and understand them, and then combine his own experience to reform the forging techniques and pass them on to the apprentices of the Shengong Bureau.
Su Wu, Ji Xingzhou, Zhao Yong and others finalized all the details and procedures for forging the 'Western Queen Mother's Human Armor', and this time the armor forging officially began.
In the thatched cottage.
On the iron table, a knife of rice paper, a writing brush, and an inkstone have been placed.
A painter with a handsome face stood at the corner of the table, slowly grinding ink ingots and water in an inkstone. Another painter spread out the rice paper on the iron table, and used a paperweight to smooth out the fine wrinkles on the rice paper.
Su Wu sensed the true meaning of the "Xuanbian Immortal" that circulated endlessly in Huang Tian's decree, and the "Eighty-eight Immortals Scroll" unfolded in his mind. The eighty-seven gods, each one deeply
It is spiritual and mysterious.
His mind was focused on the Queen Mother of the West, who was in the center of the scroll and surrounded by gods. He continued to describe and imitate the image of the Queen Mother in the painting with the true meaning of Xuanbian's immortals and gods, until his own nature was achieved.
After rubbing the true meaning of heaven and man in the picture of "The Queen Mother of the West", I picked up the brush on the desk, dipped it in ink, and started sketching on the rice paper.
This time he only sketched the "Queen Mother of the West", but Su Wu painted it more carefully than before when he sketched the entire "Eighty-eight Immortals Scroll".
The previous "Eighty-eight Immortals Scroll" was just for people to appreciate. However, the current "West Queen Mother Scroll" not only needs to be appreciated by many craftsmen of the Divine Works Bureau, but also needs to be supported by the true meaning of heaven and man.
, so that many craftsmen can "connect with" the true meaning of heaven and man when appreciating the scroll, and thus understand the various details of the carved talismans, blessing spells, and the shape of the armor.
This is the reason why the ink painting is the core of the life armor.
An ink painting is the "general outline" of a sect.
From this "general outline and purpose", the ghost craftsmen sensed the principle of Yi Shu's operation and the mechanism of the alternation between heaven and man, and then decomposed the "general outline" into "detailed outlines" and applied them to all aspects of armor-making.
While copying the "Shadow of the Queen Mother of the West", Su Wu himself was also trying to understand the true meaning of this heaven and man.
At first, he could only sense the change of the "true meaning of heaven and man", and after sensing the harmony of human will and the charm of heavenly law, that point suddenly appeared, the impeccable "human will" was embedded in a certain node of the operation of heavenly law.
Then the natural principles that were originally running without stagnation and leading directly to a certain place suddenly changed direction - the true meaning of heaven and man was condensed at this time.
After that, Su Wu discarded the concepts of human will and heavenly principles in his heart, and only the rhythm like the sound of breathing and heartbeat remained in his heart.
There was a certain rhythm hidden in that way, which eventually replaced the sound of his heartbeat.
The sounds of beatings rang in his ears, and he fully understood the Yi principles contained in the 'True Meaning of the Queen Mother of the West' -
Su Wu put the last stroke on the "Shadow of the Queen Mother of the West".
The whole painting came alive in an instant, and a layer of cold air overflowed from the paper, freezing the desk with a thick layer of frost and snow!
