365. If you want to learn the casting method, I will teach you.
Tongguan City ushered in a rare period of peace.
Although spiritual insects still appear from time to time outside the city, the feared plague of spiritual insects has not really broken out yet.
The spirit insect should be accumulating strength.
Tongguan City has just experienced a big battle. Even if they know the location of the spirit insect nest, they don't have the strength to clean it all.
While recuperating, many people were secretly paying attention to the three thousand Tiger Wings.
This is the only move the new city lord takes after taking office.
That is to select 3,000 people from the army to form the 3,000 Tiger Wing Army.
Many soldiers chose to refuse at first. As a result, the three thousand people selected were not particularly outstanding among the original army.
Many people are waiting to see the new city lord’s jokes.
It has to be said that because of Ge Changlong's sudden decision, Zhou Shu became the lord of Tongguan City.
But most people in Tongguan City don't buy into this city lord.
Except for a few people in Ma Qianli who have seen Zhou Shu's weapon-making skills, others, even those soldiers who got the tiger-wing sword, actually don't have much idea of who Zhou Shu is.
The direct disciples of the master of Tiangong Pavilion are too far away for them. They have no real concept of such a big man.
In the final analysis, Zhou Shu has not done anything to truly convince the majority of soldiers.
Ordinary soldiers do not have the vision of Ge Changlong. Their minds are very simple, just like mules or horses, they can be led out for fun.
They have to see with their own eyes how capable this new city lord is.
Of course, these soldiers also have the basic wisdom for the survival of the lower class.
Even though they are not convinced by the new city lord, on the surface, they still respect the new city lord. As for the backlash behind the scenes, that is inevitable.
Of course Zhou Shu will not care about these trivial matters, regaining the morale of the army is what the war needs to focus on.
Now the only people Zhou Shu can really use are Zhan and the people of Gutianting.
As for Mu Zhixing and Mu Yuan, they are not people who do such things.
It's a pity that none of his team in the ancestral land has come with them now. Otherwise, with Mi Ziwen and Yang Hong here, it would be much easier to control Tongguan City.
Of course, as the leader of the thirty-six generals of Ancient Heaven, Zhan's abilities are not bad.
He was not influenced by the outside world, but was training the three thousand Tiger Wings according to his own methods.
The most important thing is that Zhan has the support of Zhou Shu.
Even if the three thousand selected soldiers are not elites, as long as they are armed to the teeth, they are not elites, but they have become elites!
The soldiers in Tongguan City will never imagine how terrifying a weapon-smith like Zhou Shu can be!
"General, are these magic soldiers given to us?"
In the school grounds, a soldier swallowed his saliva and asked.
"Tiger Wing Knife, you should be familiar with it, one for each of you."
Zhan nodded and said.
He also sighed in his heart, Zhou Shu is really a pervert. Under the current conditions, in just two months, he actually forged three thousand tiger-wing knives!
You know, it has only been two months since we defeated Ge Zhenfeng and Hou Baidong.
Tongguan City is full of weapons and equipment, but there are only three weapon-casting divisions.
Even Zhan couldn't imagine how Zhou Shu did it.
Not only did he forge three thousand tiger-wing knives, but he also forged three thousand pieces of armor!
"There is also tiger wing armor, one for each person."
Zhan continued, the black armor piled up like a mountain, shining in the sun, giving people an extremely heavy feeling.
"Tiger wing armor can withstand a single blow from the peak of the Tao realm without being broken."
"Put on the tiger-wing armor and grab the tiger-wing knife. Follow me out of the city to kill the spiritual insects. Only war is the fastest way to grow. The city lord has selected you because he hopes that you will become the mainstay of Tongguan City. The opportunity will be given to you.
It depends on you whether you can take control of it or not."
Zhan shouted in a deep voice.
"General, don't worry, we will swear allegiance to the city lord to the death!"
Everyone roared angrily.
They were extremely excited. Forget about the tiger-winged sword, the tiger-winged armor was a magical armor.
Magical weapons are scarce in this world. Even beings such as Ge Changlong and Ma Qianli don't have a magic weapon armor. Now that they have it, how can they not be excited?
Now, they all have the urge to die for their confidants.
Not to mention asking them to go out of the city to kill the spirit insects, even if they were asked to rush directly into the spirit insect nest, they would not hesitate at all.
……
The battle is inspiring. On the other side, Hou Baidong, the third deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, is staring at Zhou Shu not far in front of him, his eyes full of shock.
"Is this the pavilion master's inventory?"
Hou Baidong was trapped in Skynet. Although he couldn't get out, his sight and hearing were not restricted.
He secretly tried several times and found that he could not break through Skynet, so he simply gave up the struggle.
It's only three years, just think that you have been practicing the art of forging weapons for three years in seclusion.
Hou Baidong's eyes fell on the three thousand tiger wing armors.
He was not involved in the casting of these three thousand tiger wing armors, but when he saw Zhou Shu and Jin Kui taking out these three thousand tiger wing armors, he didn't believe it.
He didn't believe that the two of them had created it in just two months.
Anyone who is an armorer knows that the casting of armor is much more time-consuming than the casting of swords.
An armor maker may not be able to cast a piece of armor in a year and a half.
How could it be possible to cast three thousand pieces of armor in two months?
"Hou Baidong, how come you, an expert, speak in layman's terms? Can't you tell whether the magic weapon was newly cast?"
Jin Kui snorted coldly and said with a proud look on his face, "These three thousand tiger wing armors were just cast by us."
"You are just a frog in a well, how can you imagine the strength of the Young Pavilion Master?"
Jin Kui has now changed his title to Zhou Shu to Young Pavilion Master.
The more contact he had with Zhou Shu, the more he respected Zhou Shu.
In the simple art of forging weapons, Zhou Shu may not be much better than him.
But Zhou Shu's wild ideas simply shocked Jin Kui.
The assembly line casting method has already increased the casting efficiency of the casting division by a hundredfold. Jin Kui did not expect that there is still room for improvement in this efficiency.
The first time he saw the casting of tiger wing armor, he was also shocked.
This tiger-winged armor that can withstand a Taoist blow is simply a thing made by a group of weapon-casting apprentices!
A group of guys who had never even crossed the threshold of a forging division actually forged tiger wing armor one by one under his nose!
If Jin Kui had seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined it. A group of weapon-casting apprentices cast a bunch of parts in a haphazard manner. When they got into Zhou Shu's hands, they were randomly assembled into tiger wing armor. The whole process,
Not even a breath.
On the surface, it seems that Zhou Shu and Jin Kui cast three thousand tiger wing armors in two months.
In fact, it was the thousands of forging apprentices and blacksmiths recruited by Zhou Shu who actually completed the casting of the Tiger Wing Armor!
That's right, these are the people who have the largest number of people under Zhou Shu now!
These people are either the former blacksmiths of Tongguan City, or the apprentices he recruited temporarily.
Speaking of which, in the eyes of Jin Kui and others, these people are nothing but trash.
They don't even know what a magic weapon is. Wouldn't it be funny if they were asked to cast a magic weapon?
But the facts gave him a hard slap in the face.
They just followed Zhou Shu's instructions and cast parts one by one. Looking at those parts individually, they are definitely not magic weapons.
But these parts, combined together, turned into a magical weapon.
If the assembly line method of casting weapons is to break down the steps of casting magic weapons into processes, and hand over those non-core processes that anyone can do to the weapon casting apprentices, thereby reducing the number of places where the weapon casting division needs to do something, then naturally it is
Improve efficiency
Then the casting of this tiger wing armor is to dismantle a magic weapon into countless small parts. Each part is responsible for a casting apprentice. Dozens of soldiers can cast enough in less than a day.
Assemble the parts of a magic weapon.
The parts that the magic weapon is dismantled into are not considered magic weapons at all. With a little training, anyone can forge them.
The core of it is how to assemble it into a tiger wing armor.
This point is in Zhou Shu's hands.
Because of this, with thousands of people working at the same time, dozens or even hundreds of tiger wing armors can be cast in a day.
When he saw this scene, Jin Kui was immediately stunned.
He never imagined that a magic weapon could be dismantled to such a small level and cast by different people!
Of course, this method is extremely limited and can only be used by magic weapons such as armor. How else can you dismantle a knife or a sword?
But even so, Jin Kui felt that he had seen a new world, and his thoughts were completely opened up.
The art of forging weapons has infinite possibilities.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Hou Baidong breathed heavily and shouted in a deep voice, "It is absolutely impossible for one person, no, even two people, to cast three thousand armors in two months. Even the city lord can never do it!"
He felt that his world had been overturned. Even though he was trapped by Zhou Shu using Skynet, he never felt that he had lost to Zhou Shu.
This kid is just lucky and got a magical weapon from the Pavilion Master. In terms of the art of forging weapons, this kid is not even worthy of carrying his own shoes!
But now, he felt like he had been slapped hard.
This Wu Zongquan, his weapon-making skills are beyond his imagination!
Hou Baidong found it difficult to accept the fact that a guy he looked down upon was actually beyond his reach.
"Hou Baidong, that's why I say you have no knowledge."
Jin Kui said disdainfully, "If you can't do it yourself, you think others can't do it. With your little knowledge, I don't know how you rank above me!"
Jin Kui now looks down on Hou Baidong very much. In the past, Hou Baidong was indeed ranked higher than him, but in the future, it will be uncertain.
He, Jin Kui, is no longer what he used to be.
"Hou Baidong, a great man once said that the power of the people is unlimited."
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said.
"What do you mean? Who is the great man?"
Hou Baidong frowned and said, this Wu Zongquan's mind is really unclear, and he will come up with some nonsense from time to time.
I really don’t know what the pavilion master saw in him.
"That's not important."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "Do you want to learn how to make tiger wing armor? If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"Are you willing to teach me?"
Hou Baidong's face was full of shock.
Although he didn't know how Zhou Shu did this, he knew very well that this method of casting tiger wing armor was absolutely priceless!
If it were him, even his biological son might not be able to teach him.
Now Zhou Shu actually said he was willing to teach him!
For a moment, Hou Baidong was a little confused.
First it was the casting method of the tight band, and now it is the casting method of this tiger wing armor.
He spreads the news so easily to outsiders, is it possible that in his mind, these methods of forging weapons are really so ordinary?
Before Zhou Shu, Hou Baidong had never seen such a weapon-smith.
Even the master of Tiangong Pavilion regards his weapon-making skills as treasures and will never show them to others.
Otherwise, the Tightening Curse would not be the secret method taught by the master of Tiangong Pavilion.
But these things that he was accustomed to seemed to be completely different things to Zhou Shu.
He seemed to have never thought of how extraordinary these weapons-making skills were, and he taught them to him without any pity.
"Do you know what the casting method of this tiger wing armor means?"
Hou Baidong said in a deep voice.
In two months, three thousand tiger-winged armors can be cast. Such a method is enough to change the world.
This shows that no matter where Zhou Shu goes, he will definitely be treated as a supreme guest by the city lords and generals.
Think about it, if every soldier in a city was wearing tiger wing armor, what would it be like?
Yes, this tiger-winged armor can indeed only block attacks from the Dao realm, and is useless to those who are powerful in the Tianzun realm.
But in this world, after all, there are still many Dao realms and few Tianzun realms.
Tiger wing armor is enough for ordinary soldiers.
"What do you think?"
Zhou Shu did not answer the rhetorical question and said with a smile, "The casting method of this tiger wing armor is actually nothing surprising. What you think is amazing actually breaks the window paper, so it's nothing."
"Even if I don't teach you now, you will understand it sooner or later."
Jin Kui curled his lips at the side, it was really impossible to guess what the Young Pavilion Master was thinking.
He thinks that everyone is a genius like him. Things that he thinks are simple, he thinks others also think are simple.
Actually?
In fact, for others, it may be as difficult as reaching heaven.
Just like this tiger wing armor, before, even if he killed Jin Kui, he would never have imagined that armor could be cast in this way.
If no one had punctured this layer of window paper, Jin Kui estimated that even in another 10,000 years, he would not have been able to think of this method.
Hou Baidong and him are just the same person. We are both deputy masters of Tiangong Pavilion. How much difference can there be in talent?
Jin Kui couldn't think of it, but Hou Baidong could think of it?
Don't be ridiculous, there are so many weapon casters in Tiangong Pavilion, why has no one thought of this method before after so many years?
Tiangong Pavilion has never been short of geniuses.
To be able to become the weapon master of Tiangong Pavilion is to be a unique genius.
But the gap between geniuses is wider than the gap between geniuses and ordinary people.
Jin Kui used to think that he was one of the top weapon-making geniuses in the world, but it wasn't until he met Zhou Shu that he realized that he was a shitty genius.
No wonder the Pavilion Master would rather accept a boy from a remote village as his direct disciple than pass on the position of Pavilion Master to one of their eight deputy Pavilion Masters.
Or maybe he is the master of the pavilion. Look at his vision, the disciple he chooses will be a few steps ahead of him.
When Jin Kui's mind changed, Hou Baidong fell into silence.
He is not a person who belittles himself, but now, he really doubts himself.
This Wu Zongquan is the direct disciple of the pavilion master. In terms of seniority, he is actually a generation younger than himself.
But now, his attainments in the art of forging weapons have reached a point where even Hou Baidong can't see clearly.
Is the gap between people really that big?
I, Hou Baidong, am I really that far away from the realm of the master of Tiangong Pavilion?
"You teach me, what are the conditions!"
Hou Baidong was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the temptation and spoke.
As a weapon maker, when you know that there is a weapon-making art, your desire to learn it is something that cannot be explained to outsiders.
Hou Baidong has always wanted to become the master of Tiangong Pavilion. It is difficult to say whether he did it for the power of the master of Tiangong Pavilion or for the weapon-making skills that only the master of Tiangong Pavilion can master.
In essence, Hou Baidong is still the weapon maker who is obsessed with the art of weapon casting, and there is a big difference between him and those conspirators.
"There are no conditions. If you want to learn, I will teach you. It's that simple."
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "It's not just you, but others too."
"Jin Kui has already learned this method. There are many weapon-making apprentices here. If they are willing to learn it carefully, I will also teach it."
A look of disbelief flashed across Hou Baidong's face. You teach such a precious thing to even an apprentice in casting weapons?
Are you crazy?
"Skills are not passed lightly! You are acting recklessly!"
Hou Baidong couldn't help but say.
"Come on?"
Zhou Shu was noncommittal and said with a smile, "I know very well what I'm doing. I don't need you to worry about this, Lao Hou. I'm really not telling you, you guys are so petty and need to change."
"Look at the world, there is an incomparable abundance of materials, but as the lord of a city, Ge Changlong doesn't even have a magic weapon at his disposal. What's the reason? Isn't it because your Tiangong Pavilion treasures your brooms and doesn't know how to forge weapons?
The technique is strictly guarded, preventing many qualified people from entering."
"If there are few weapon-making masters, there will be few magic weapons. How can this world develop? You are just not confident. You think that if the art of weapon-making spreads, it will threaten your status. Haven't you ever thought about it?
The art of weapon casting is constantly being updated every day. As long as you continue to make progress and improve, who can affect your status? The more people learn the art of weapon casting, the faster the progress of the art of weapon casting will be.
, it can only get worse and worse, and eventually lead to destruction."
Zhou Shu continued, "So I say, Lao Hou, and Lao Jin, please be more open-minded and don't hold on to your soldier-making skills all day long and be reluctant to pass it on to others. If you don't pass it on to others, do you have to bring it in yourself?
