Old Long didn't say anything more, just responded lightly, and then a white light flew out of Leng Yi's eyebrows, turned into a thin book, and slowly fell beside Leng Yi;
Leng Yi reached out and picked up the martial arts book and took a closer look, only to see two crazy big words written on the cover -
"Crazy"!
Looking at these two words, Leng Yi felt a chill in his heart. Based on these two words, he roughly guessed what this martial arts was. Then he briefly browsed through the content and became more sure of his guess;
This is a demon clan's sorcery; it relies on the power of burning blood to forcibly infuse the body's structure, so that the body's power can climb to three small realms in a short time; the strength of the body's power can speed up the output efficiency of vitality, making
Demon casters can have the ability to fight across three small realms within ten breaths;
Although this method is not as intense as the "Devouring Technique" and does not require the consumption of life span, its danger is comparable to the latter; the price of forcibly stimulating the body's potential is serious damage to the body;
Moreover, this kind of damage is the most terrifying irreversible damage;
That is to say, every time it is used, no matter how it is treated, the physical strength after recovery will drop by one to two levels, and invisible hidden injuries will be left; and with the accumulation of hidden injuries, the user will sooner or later become a useless person; [
"Although your bloodline is extremely tolerant, you don't have to worry about the pain of rejection caused by people cultivating the demon method; but no matter how strong your body is, it is still far from the demon body;"
"Therefore, this method can only be used as an auxiliary martial arts for you to use "Extreme Explosion", but cannot be used completely; otherwise, you will be destroyed on the spot, or you will be turned into flesh instantly; take good care of it yourself;" Old
Long warned in a deep voice, then changed the subject:
"Don't look at it. Let's wait until you get used to the third-level human hammer;"
"Now, go help me blacksmith right away!"
"Yes;" Leng Yi nodded slowly. He understood what Lao Long meant. Before formally practicing "Crazy", the stronger the body is, the less harmful it will be in the future;
Then, Leng Yi grabbed the half-hot and half-cold barbecue and wolfed it down, then stretched out his hand to open the forging space and jumped in;
In front of the hot forging table, Leng Yi picked out a large machete with the simplest style from a pile of various steel knives, and then took the pliers to the pig iron, preparing to pick out pig iron of equal weight and put it into the oven;
Now that he has mastered the method of blacksmithing, it should not be difficult to build a large-mouthed machete by learning quenching, annealing, sharpening and other techniques. Moreover, it is not the design principle for other types of knives to understand everything.
The appearance and heat treatment technology are slightly different; once you master the basics, you will soon be able to master the making methods of other knives;
As for those exquisite techniques such as proportioning quenching fluid, water-blood mixed annealing method, temperature-controlled normalizing and tempering method, they are not something that a blacksmith needs to consider, and it is also not something that Leng Yi needs to consider;
Because, no matter how exquisite those techniques are, they can only forge better ordinary soldiers, not magic weapons;
After all, the magic weapons used by monks focus on how to maximize the vitality and combat power, rather than how tough and sharp they are. Moreover, the higher the monk's cultivation level, the less attention they pay to the characteristics of ordinary soldiers;
On the contrary, many high-level magic weapons are not tough and sharp in themselves. In the hands of mortals, they can even deform when they kill chickens; but in the hands of monks, they can easily split thousands of kilograms of boulders and cut off fine iron and copper pillars.
;
It can be said that although the magic weapon was born out of the ordinary soldier, it only retained its original connotation and was already essentially different from the ordinary soldier;
Because of this, what is needed to become a blacksmith is a "qualified" blacksmith, not a "smith" who can create the best ordinary soldiers;
"You loser! Have you ever thought about why I asked you to perform a knife attack in the first place?"[
However, just when Leng Yi came to the oven, Lao Long's voice sounded again, his tone full of disdain and regret;
Why?
Leng Yi was stunned. He had never thought that in his opinion, a knife was the easiest weapon to make. Any blacksmith would start by making knives;
Is it possible that there is a deeper meaning here?
"The sword is the courage of a hundred soldiers;"
Seeing that Leng Yi was silent, Old Long slowly explained: "In mortal martial arts, there is a saying that 'practice martial arts before practicing courage'; among monks, there is also a saying that 'boldness can be reversible'; similarly, forging weapons must also be based on
Boldness begins;”
"If you don't understand what the 'Courage of a Hundred Soldiers' is, even if you become a blacksmith, you will never reach the pinnacle of the armory journey;"
"If you don't want to just be a blacksmith for the rest of your life, you should first understand what the 'Courage of a Hundred Soldiers' is;"
Soldiers and Armor along the way...
The courage of hundreds of soldiers!
Leng Yi frowned and took a deep breath, then slowly put down the iron tongs and pig iron with a solemn expression;
Lao Long's few words gave Leng Yi a new understanding of forging. It was as if blacksmithing was no longer a boring craft, but was full of mysteries like cultivation. It was even a performance full of mystery.
Smart life;
To practice martial arts, practice courage first!
To fight a soldier, be brave first...
These two seemingly unrelated things seem to have an extremely subtle but extremely important connection;
Is this the so-called "most original connotation"?
Leng Yi quickly captured the key point, which was the only commonality between magic soldiers and ordinary soldiers; he had a hunch that if he could understand this key point, blacksmithing and even forging would be a matter of course;
Leng Yi stared at the machete on the forging platform and fell into deep thought. He vaguely understood something, but it was not clear...
In this way, the night goes and the day comes, and then goes west again;
Standing or sitting in the hot forging space, or tossing and turning, I didn't close my eyes for a whole day and night, but still achieved nothing, until my thoughts were interrupted by the thunderous gurgling in my stomach;
"Forget it! Let's go eat first;"
Leng Yi touched his flat belly, shook his sore head, and opened the forging space unhurriedly, preparing to go hunting;
He understands very well that "comprehension" is always very subtle. Sometimes it suddenly dawns on you in a flash of inspiration, and sometimes you may ponder for a lifetime and still not be able to figure it out;
Rather than suffering, it is better to let nature take its course;
However, just when Leng Yi picked up the hammer and was about to go out, he suddenly saw a wooden stick in the corner. It was a wooden stick that was removed from the cart that pulled the iron blocks. It was rough and messy. It was not only used to make fires.
The outer one is the place;
stick...
Leng Yi suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something, he put down the hammer and reached out to take the wooden stick, and thoughtfully and slowly demonstrated the stick skills he had practiced as a child;
stick!
The ancestor of hundreds of soldiers...
First there is the stick, then there is the knife!
Leng Yi suddenly remembered the records in the history books. In the prehistoric era when the world first opened, the first weapon to appear was the stick, followed by the knife. It was precisely because of the appearance of the primitive knife that the prehistoric people had the courage to travel long distances.
and ability, which can be regarded as a qualitative leap in the history of the human race;
However, in those days, the lethality of a primitive knife and a stick were about the same;
But why did it take a qualitative leap to have a knife?
Could this be...
Leng Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and he suddenly remembered the feeling when he first learned knife skills when he was a child, switching from a wooden knife to a sharp steel knife for the first time;
Although he was a little timid, afraid of hurting himself, he had an unprecedented confidence and publicity, and seemed to be bolder in an instant, daring to go anywhere;
With a knife in hand, you can brave the world!
Although that kind of childhood thought is immature, it seems to be a feeling that comes from the depths of the blood;
Deep in the bloodline...
Leng Yi seemed to understand something and forgot about hunger for a moment, constantly changing knives and sticks, savoring the subtle changes in mentality of holding two weapons;
Like this, it was another day and night. When night fell again, Leng Yi's confused eyes suddenly became radiant, and his chaotic mind suddenly became enlightened!
Primitive, brave, unruly, even with a hint of wildness, but full of surging passion and heroic solemnity!
That’s what it feels like!
Only when you hold the knife in your hand can you feel the memory left deep in your bloodline by your ancestors, as well as the determination and courage to brave the wilderness with your fragile body!
This kind of passionate and tragic feeling is definitely not something that can be possessed by swords, spears, axes, and sticks...
Leng Yi suddenly gritted his teeth, his eyes were like lightning, he stretched out his hand to dip his hand in water with a solemn expression, and slowly wrote a strong character on the forging table——
fierce!
The courage of hundreds of soldiers!
"What a waste! It took me almost three days to understand the word 'meng'." Just when Leng Yi finished writing the word "meng", Old Long's voice also sounded;
Leng Yi ignored Old Long, but picked up the machete made by Lorsang again, and then took out Chen Fang's junior weapon, and Cheng He's dark short knife...
"Sure enough, a key flavor is missing;"
Leng Yi shook his head slowly, a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes; without that fierce sword, no matter how high the grade is, it only has its shape but not its spirit;
How can such a knife bring out the maximum combat power of the user?
Whether it's a mortal or a monk...
After understanding the real key, the rest is a matter of course. To create a good knife, all that is left is constant training and correction. After Leng Yi filled his stomach and rested, the hot forging space once again echoed like a gong.
the sound of iron striking;
Of course, there is also Lao Long’s curse...
In this way, the nights came and the days passed, and three months passed by in a flash. During these three months, the young man was like a man possessed, working day and night, thinking, and continuing to work; if he failed, he would start over and fail again.
All over again; until one bitterly cold winter night——
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Amidst the gong-like sound of forging and the splashing of sparks, a machete with a monotonous and rough appearance, but revealing unruly and bravery, gradually took shape through continuous quenching and forging;
Looking at the nearly completed knife blank, a trace of joy flashed in Leng Yi's eyes. This is Lao Long's last homework. After finishing this knife, he will be a qualified blacksmith!
last step!
When the blade turned from red to black due to the gradual cooling, Leng Yi suddenly raised the hammer in his hand——
"stop!"
However, at this moment, Lao Long suddenly shouted, and then said in a solemn tone:
"Now, I will teach you the most important thing——"
