Jiang Ye stood in front of the stage, looking at the prototype of the sword that was already cold on the table. He held the handle of the sword and hesitated whether to recast it or continue his father's work just now, forging the back of the sword.
If it is recast, the prototype may not be as good as the current one. My father has already smelted Zhan Yun into the sword. I don’t know if it will have any impact if he does this again.
But if he continues, Jiang Ye really has no confidence that he can forge an excellent white-level sword. Because the force and position of his hammer will always be different from his father's.
Jiang Ye had a rare look of hesitation on his face.
Lin Minglei and Jiang Yetianbang, who were standing aside, also noticed Jiang Ye's strangeness, but they didn't say anything because they both knew what Jiang Ye was hesitating about.
He needs to go through this level by himself.
Recasting means breaking all shackles and fully believing in one's own strength. This is what Jiang Yetianbang and the others want to see.
Because only self-confidence is a constant source of motivation. Forging can fail, but confidence can never be lost!
"Be focused on nothing."
Jiang Ye suddenly remembered the last words Lin Minglei said to him just now, "Yes, you must calm down and concentrate on nothing."
Jiang Ye took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and carefully recalled what his father had said to him, and taught him the forging method "Triple Mountain".
"Three stacks of mountains, three stacked mountains."
"Three represents three techniques, three changes, and three strengths."
"Stacking" means layer upon layer. The same surface, the same line, the same point, every time the hammer is hit, it must hit the same position. There must not be any deviation, and the hammer must be hit every time.
arrive."
"Mountain means that the falling hammer should be like a mountain falling, the force should be swift and violent, and it should be hard, like a mountain collapse, or a mountain cracking."
"Sandieshan means to use three techniques at the same place, three powerful strokes like falling from a mountain, and strike three times in an instant at the same place. This is the original meaning of Sandieshan, and it is also its purpose.
Essence.”
"The original meaning of Sandie Mountain, the essence of Sandie Mountain."
Jiang Ye murmured to himself, and at the same time, the scene of the first forging was heard, "Okay! The original intention! The essence! Now that I have mastered the original intention and essence, there is nothing to worry about. Since it is forged by me, then let's do it all again.
.”
Thinking of this, Jiang Ye opened his eyes and without any hesitation, he threw all the prototypes of the sword in his hand into the furnace.
"Okay! Not bad!"
Seeing Jiang Ye like this, both Jiang Ye Tianbang and Lin Minglei smiled happily, especially Lin Minglei's smile, which contained an inexplicable meaning.
"Dad, help me pull up the bellows, the flame is too small."
Jiang Ye saw that the fire in the stove did not meet his requirements and was a little too small, so he asked Jiang Ye Tianbang for help.
"good."
Jiang Yetianbang smiled and was about to bend over to pull the bellows on the side to help his son increase the firepower, but Lin Minglei waved his hand and signaled that he would come.
Jiang Yetianbang was surprised, but he did not refuse. He also saw that today's boss and old friend Lin Minglei was a little different from the past. He seemed to be interested in teaching his son again today.
When Jiang Ye saw Lin Minglei like this, he didn't say anything, but looked at him gratefully.
The fire in the stove also became strong in an instant, burning rapidly and making a crackling sound.
After about ten minutes, the prototype of the sword had turned red and soft, with molten iron even dripping from a few places. Jiang Ye then placed it back on the iron felt table.
Jiang Ye held the hammer with one hand and slammed it down on the iron bar in front of him.
"Be careful when forging. You can only hold the hammer with one hand, not both hands. If you hold the hammer with both hands, you won't be able to grasp the angle well."
Jiang Ye remembered his father's words again.
"Forging is mainly about hitting the iron, and you can't hit it to death. If you just use hard force, after a long time, you will not only be tired, but your arms will be numb and cracked. You have to learn a clever word."
"Skills need to be skillful in terms of strength and angle, and there must be a degree of relaxation. Once the hammer is struck, the hammer must rebound naturally, without shaking the hand, and the effect will be better. It must jingle and have a rhythm."
Jiang Yeping was calm. Although sweat started to flow from his body after just a while while standing next to the stove, Jiang Ye was still unhurried. Every time he hammered down, he could hit the place he wanted to hit.
Moreover, Jiang Ye's three consecutive hammer blows in an instant always included three changes in techniques, and each time the force was stronger than the last, which made Li Minglei who was watching on the side nod secretly.
"Uncle Lin, lower the fire a little."
Jiang Ye put the rudimentary sword back into the stove, feeling that it was a little cold and not warm enough. However, the fire in the stove was a little stronger.
Forging and entering the fire are also very important. Only by mastering the heat can you smelt the shape you want. Different shapes have different strength and angles.
"good."
Lin Minglei smiled. How could he not know the intensity of the fire? It was just intentional.
But this time, before Jiang Ye could take action, Lin Minglei said, "Jiang Ye, the most important thing about Sandie Mountain is the word 'die'. As long as the word 'die' remains unchanged, the rest can be changed.
"
Jiang Ye was stunned, not understanding what Lin Minglei meant. Even Jiang Ye Tianbang, who had been with Lin Minglei for more than ten years, looked surprised.
This was also the first time he heard this sentence.
"The technique can be changed, the strength can be changed, and the angle can be changed."
Lin Minglei said slowly, "Three techniques can be six techniques, twelve techniques, twenty-four techniques, or even two hundred and forty techniques."
When Lin Minglei said this, he showed an unprecedented aura, which was completely different from the Lin Minglei Jiang Ye knew in the past.
"Similarly, the three angles and three strengths can also be six, twelve, twenty-four, etc."
"Three-fold Mountain can also be called Liu-fold Mountain, Twelve-fold Mountain, Hundred-fold Mountain, or even Thousand-fold Mountain."
"Qianjie Mountain..."
Jiang Ye murmured to himself, feeling as if he understood something in an instant, "Three, it can be changed..."
Lin Minglei said this and did not continue to speak, because he saw Jiang Ye's eyes were full of contemplation, so he gave him some time to digest.
"Boss Lin, you..."
Jiang Yetianbang and Lin Minglei have been together for a long time. They have been together for more than ten years. The two have already formed a deep friendship. They can be called brothers. However, Jiang Yetianbang always calls him Boss Lin in front of many people, which shows that
respect.
However, Jiang Yetianbang really didn't understand why Lin Minglei said this this time, and Lin Minglei had never said these words to him.
Jiang Yetianbang didn't even know that Lin Minglei had this ability. Because he could feel that Lin Minglei's words just now were by no means simple.
He thought that over the years, he had almost learned the craftsmanship from his brother.
"fine."
Lin Minglei waved his hand without explaining, but kept his eyes on Jiang Ye.
Lu San stood aside and remained silent. Anyway, Lin Minglei had promised him that no matter what the forging result was, he would give him an excellent white-level sword, so he was not in a hurry.
From beginning to end, he thought Lin Minglei was teaching his "apprentice".
After about ten minutes, the confusion in Jiang Ye's eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced by clarity.
"Three changes, six changes, and more changes."
Jiang Ye suddenly said, "I understand, the forging method should not be limited. As long as I know the changes, they can be integrated into the forging method. It can be hundreds, it can be thousands, it even has no end.
"
"Yes." Lin Minglei smiled and nodded, "Integrating your way of change into forging is your way of forging."
Lin Minglei did not want to impart his knowledge of changes to Jiang Ye, because this would only fix Jiang Ye's thinking and limit his development.
Lin Minglei saw that Jiang Ye was very talented in blacksmithing. He was leaving tonight, so it didn't matter if the true essence of Triassic Mountain was taught to him. His future development would be entirely up to him.
"My way of forging..."
Jiang Ye murmured again, and after a while, he suddenly quickly grabbed the prototype of the sword in the stove and started hammering it fiercely.
"Three kinds."
The moment Jiang Ye dropped the hammer, he made three changes.
"Four kinds!"
Jiang Ye hammered for less than a minute, when his technique, strength, and angle suddenly changed, and there was a sudden change.
Lin Minglei, who was watching from the side, suddenly lit up his eyes and said in his heart, "Okay!".
He never thought that Jiang Ye actually did it in this short period of time.
"Five kinds!"
After nearly five minutes this time, Jiang Ye's hammer dropped another change.
"pretty!"
Lin Minglei shouted again in his heart, and even felt a little excited.
"Six kinds!"
Lin Minglei's breathing was a little rapid. Fifteen minutes later, when Jiang Ye's hammer fell, Lin Minglei saw another layer of changes, becoming more ethereal and unpredictable.
"genius.."
Lin Minglei never thought that Jiang Ye would achieve such results with just some temporary guidance.
You know, when I figured out the six changes, it took me a whole month, and my master even boasted about this result.
But Jiang Ye, who kept swinging the hammer in front of him, did it in just a quarter of an hour. This is not a genius.
It turns out that I still underestimated him. When I first knew that he forged a white-grade sword for the first time, I thought he was a man of forging, but I never expected that he was so talented in forging.
I have watched this child grow up. You know, it would be great to accept him as your disciple as early as possible...
However, Lin Minglei also saw that at this time, the muscles in Jiang Ye's arms were bulging, the veins were exposed, a lot of sweat was dripping from his body, his skin was red by the fire, and his breathing was rapid. It was obvious that he was almost at the end of his body.
Lin Minglei knows that the more types of changes, the greater the load on the body. If the original three changes, the load on the body was 10, then the current six types, the load on the body is 100.
The growth and change of load is far from as simple as 1 plus 1.
It is already very difficult for the eighteen-year-old Jiang Ye to achieve this level. This chapter has been completed!
