354, Forging soldiers with the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty
"Really dead?"
In the palace of the Lord of Tongguan City, Hou Baidong muttered to himself.
Since he had already broken up with each other, he naturally had no intention of returning Tongguan City to Ge Changlong.
Now the city lord's mansion has become his and Ge Zhenfeng's territory.
Listening to the report from his subordinate Tianzun, Hou Baidong fell into deep thought.
"Did you see him die with your own eyes? Who killed him?"
Hou Baidong asked.
"I watched with my own eyes as he was cut down by a sword beam, and only the sword beam and no one could be seen."
The strong man Tian Zun said, "The person who took action should be relying on the power of the divine weapon. His own strength should be similar to Ge Changlong. Otherwise, Ge Changlong would not be allowed to run out of the Wu Mansion. However, I am a bit far away and my induction may not be accurate.
."
Hou Baidong nodded, "It seems I was right."
"The master of Tiangong Pavilion is in the Wu Mansion?"
Ge Zhenfeng, who was next to him, said excitedly, "He was really seriously injured and his cultivation level dropped to the same level as Ge Changlong?"
"Even if he only has the cultivation level of Tianzun Realm, he is not that easy to deal with. No one knows how many magic weapons he has. Didn't you see that Ge Changlong was killed easily?"
Hou Baidong said, "How is Wu Zongquan's situation? Has he been killed by Ge Changlong and Jin Kui?"
"I don't know."
The strong man Tian Zun shook his head and said, "But I heard angry shouts and cries coming from the Wu Mansion. Even if Wu Zongquan is not dead, he must be seriously injured."
"Before I came back, the entire Wu Mansion had been completely sealed off. They declared to the outside world that anyone who dared to approach the Wu Mansion would be punished until death."
"That's right."
Hou Baidong muttered, "The Pavilion Master's strength has dropped to the level of Heavenly Lord. Even if he has divine weapons in hand, he would not dare to confront us casually. Now Wu Zongquan is also seriously injured and may even be dead. He closed the Wu Mansion.
To protect yourself!"
"The dignified Master of Tiangong Pavilion, something happened. He doesn't want to deal with us, but wants to protect himself. It seems that his situation is much worse than I imagined."
A look of joy flashed across Hou Baidong's face.
"Are we going to bring people to raze the Wu Mansion to the ground now?"
Ge Zhenfeng also said excitedly, "He only has the strength of Tianzun. Even if he has magic weapons, he may not be able to exert much power. With so many of us, can't we still defeat him?"
When he thought that the legendary big shot would be pulled down by him, Ge Zhenfeng felt his blood boiling all over and was extremely excited.
He, Ge Zhenfeng, can actually achieve such great things. Let’s see who dares to underestimate him, Ge Zhenfeng!
"The fight must be fought, but it cannot be done hastily."
Hou Baidong is much calmer than Ge Zhenfeng. The more times like this, the less anxious he knows.
After all, he is the master of Tiangong Pavilion. He has always been a legend. How can he be killed so easily?
"Wu Zongquan is the deputy city lord of Tongguan City. He was assassinated. Isn't it reasonable for us to come and care about him?"
Hou Baidong said, "If they are unwilling to let us in, then it is reasonable for us to suspect that Wu Zongquan was kidnapped or even assassinated, right?"
"In this case, there is no problem if we mobilize the army from Tongguan City to besiege the Wu Mansion, right?"
What Hou Baidong pays most attention to when doing things is procedural justice.
As long as the program is correct, even if the divine comes, it will not be able to find fault with him, Hou Baidong.
Of course, if the divine comes, it may not necessarily see what is right or wrong.
"Of course no problem! Very reasonable!"
Ge Zhenfeng said loudly, "In order to investigate the truth, we must mobilize the army! Ge Changlong is dead. I have the final say in Tongguan City. I will mobilize the army and surround the Wu Mansion."
"I don't believe he can defeat the entire Tongguan City army!"
……
"Second brother, how did I perform?"
In the Wu Mansion, Ge Changlong is still excited.
"The performance is very good, there are no flaws at all."
Zhou Shu said with a smile, "Brother, you and Deputy Pavilion Master Jin will stay here for the time being. Don't show your face for now. When the time comes, give Hou Baidong a fatal blow."
"I understand! I'm just waiting for that day!"
Ge Changlong said through gritted teeth.
He, the majestic Lord of Tongguan City, was actually plotted on his own territory. If this revenge is not avenged, it will become his inner demon, and he will never be able to make any progress in the future.
However, Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng were too powerful. If he wanted to take revenge, he could only pin his hopes on Zhou Shu.
"Brother Zongquan, is the Pavilion Master really in Tongguan City?"
Jin Kui, who had recovered, hesitated for a moment and then asked.
"What do you think?"
Zhou Shu said noncommittally.
Although he and Jin Kui are considered allies, Zhou Shu still doesn't trust him.
Naturally, it is impossible to tell him all the facts like Zhan, Mu Zhixing and others.
After giving a vague answer, Zhou Shu directly served tea to see the guests off, "Deputy Master Jin, those weapon-making apprentices are still here. In the coming days, you have to lead them to continue to forge the tiger-wing sword."
"What about you——"
Jin Kui blurted out subconsciously.
"I have other things to do."
Zhou Shu said this without any intention of explaining to Jin Kui.
Jin Kui had no choice but to nod and say, "Don't worry, I have mastered the art of assembly line casting, and I will definitely not delay the progress of the Tiger Wing Sword casting."
……
Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng kept making small moves, but they had not yet launched a real attack on the Wu Mansion.
Peace has also returned to Wu Mansion.
For a moment, the entire Tongguan City seemed to have returned to its previous tranquility, and even the spirit insects cooperated very well and did not attack again.
But a feeling of impending rain has filled the city of Tongguan.
Everyone knows that the current situation is very abnormal.
Regardless of whether it is Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng's side, or the Wu Mansion's side, if they make another move, they will definitely use the power of thunder to drive them all away.
In this atmosphere, Zhou Shu calmly began to forge the magic weapon.
Although Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng are very strong, they are nothing to worry about for Zhou Shu.
The worst outcome is that Tongguan City is lost.
Zhou Shu still has Mu Yuan as his trump card. In the worst case scenario, he will have no problem saving his own life.
Although Mu Yuan cannot control the spirit insect army, there is still no problem if it briefly affects the spirit insect army and allows them to cover Zhou Shu's retreat.
With this trump card, Zhou Shu didn't take Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng seriously at all.
Of course, the worst result may not really happen.
Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng may not be the final winners.
As long as Zhou Shu can succeed, it is still unclear who will win.
In the backyard of Wu Mansion, Zhou Shu looked at the dark thing in his hand with fiery eyes.
"Yuanshi, a material that takes a certain characteristic to its extreme, may be the purest weapon-casting material in the world."
Zhou Shu said to himself that Yuanshi has a single characteristic, which is equivalent to a soldier-casting material without any impurities. Once this kind of soldier-casting material is smelted, it can be used directly without any additional processing.
Zhou Shu had always wanted to use Yuan Shi to forge a magic weapon, but he had no chance.
Now, with the help of Mu Yuan, he finally got a piece of smelted Yuan Shi.
"The characteristics of Yuanshi itself are extremely extreme. Even my iron smelting hand or ordinary sky fire cannot smelt it. It will only become like this after it is devoured by spiritual insects."
Zhou Shu pondered, "The things in the spirit insect's body may have had some special reaction with it, so it becomes like this. It does not lose its characteristics, but can be easily smelted."
Between Zhou Shu's hands, a flame burst into flames.
In the flames, the dark mass seemed to come to life, slowly turning into a mass of molten liquid. The molten liquid flowed between Zhou Shu's hands, exuding a mysterious and profound aura. "It's so fascinating."
Zhou Shu had a look of obsession on his face.
As a weapon maker, no one can resist the temptation of a peerless weapon-making material.
Now Zhou Shu just wants to use it to forge the strongest magic weapon he has ever forged since he made his own weapons.
"The unparalleled hardness in the world, if used to make offensive weapons, is the opposite. Such a weapon-making material is most suitable for casting defensive magic weapons."
Zhou Shu thought to himself.
In his mind, sparks kept colliding, and various weapons-casting materials were constantly evolving into new weapons-casting secret recipes.
If it were to cast an ordinary magic weapon, Zhou Shu wouldn't have to think so much and just do it directly.
But this was the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and even Zhou Shu had to be cautious about this kind of weapon-making materials.
Before thinking clearly, he did not dare to take action, for fear of wasting this whole group of Yuanshi.
This thought lasts all day and night.
When the sun rose again and the sky became brighter, Zhou Shu's eyes suddenly flashed a ray of light that looked like substance.
"This is it!"
Zhou Shu murmured to himself.
With a huge momentum suddenly rising from his body, Zhou Shu's hands changed like lightning, and various weapon-making materials flew from all directions and fell into the flames between his hands.
The flames were like a fire dragon, swallowing up all the weapons-making materials.
Every second, an astronomical number of weapon-making materials disappear into the flames.
If converted into wealth, it would be enough to buy most of Tongguan City.
In the distance, Jin Kui looked in the direction of the backyard in shock.
This time Zhou Shu cast weapons and did not let anyone watch. Even Jin Kui didn't know what magic weapon Zhou Shu wanted to forge.
But such a big movement was naturally impossible to hide from him.
Looking at the weapons-making materials flying all over the sky, Jin Kui was shocked.
"Pavilion Master, are you in the mansion? Did he take action personally?"
Jin Kui murmured to himself.
In his opinion, it is impossible for Zhou Shu to cause such a big commotion. Besides the master of Tiangong Pavilion, who else can make such a commotion?
Jin Kui felt a little excited when he thought that the master of Tiangong Pavilion was right in front of him.
"Hou Baidong, for making you so arrogant, you never dreamed that the master of the pavilion would be here, right?"
Jin Kui said to himself, "What you are doing now is seeking death! Since the Pavilion Master became famous, he has never failed. It is wishful thinking for you to seek the position of Pavilion Master!"
Unlike Hou Baidong, Jin Kui is full of confidence in the master of Tiangong Pavilion.
This was also when he first realized Zhou Shu's identity and chose to assist Zhou Shu instead of directly trying to replace him like Hou Baidong.
"Everyone, give me a boost!"
Jin Kui turned back to look at the weapon-making apprentices. The pavilion master was here, and his every move was seen by the pavilion master.
Brother Zongquan left this matter to me, that is, the master of the pavilion left this matter to me.
I, Jin Kuili, am not good at dealing with Hou Baidong, but using the assembly line casting method to forge the tiger-wing sword is exactly what I am good at!
If I can't even do this, then the Pavilion Master will definitely be disappointed with me!
"From now on, everyone is divided into several batches. I want people to rest. The casting furnace will not rest for twelve hours. The flame of the casting furnace cannot be extinguished! I want you to use the shortest time to cast the most for me.
Tiger Wing Sword! As long as you try your best, this Pavilion Master will definitely not treat you badly!"
Jin Kuidao said.
If Zhou Shu knew that Jin Kui had figured out the method of working in three shifts without any teacher, he would definitely scold him as a black-hearted capitalist.
This is to squeeze every bit of value out of the soldier-forging apprentice.
But having said that, Xue Liang, Ma Wanli and the others didn't think this was too much.
Although it is indeed very tiring to deal with the materials for casting weapons every day, but no matter how tired you are, as long as you can learn the art of casting weapons, it is still worth it!
In the past, Ma Wanli, under the title of a disciple of Jin Kui, did the same exhausting work, but in the end he couldn't learn any weapon-making skills.
Although they are a little tired now, they are able to come into contact with the real art of weapon making, which is already a good thing they dream of.
Didn’t you see that many people were still disappointed because they were not selected?
When the weapon-casting apprentices also began to be involved, their work efficiency also increased to a level that shocked Jin Kuidu.
Needless to say, Ge Changlong, who faked his death and hid in the Wu Mansion, was shocked as he looked at the endless tiger-wing knives being forged.
He couldn't even imagine that the magic weapon could be forged at such a speed.
In the past, when Tongguan City only had the weapon-casting division of Master Mo, you would be very lucky if you could produce a magic weapon in a few months. Most of the time, you might not be able to produce one in a year.
Now, tiger-wing knives are cast almost every day.
The key is, his cheap second brother hasn’t participated yet.
If his second brother also participates, what kind of speed will it be like?
Ge Changlong is now more certain that it was the right thing for Ge Zhenfeng and the others to turn against each other for the sake of Zhou Shu and Hou Baidong.
Does anyone else in the world have this kind of ability?
Then Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng definitely can’t do it!
With so many magic soldiers, isn't it just around the corner for him to take back Tongguan City?
All of a sudden, people in the Wu Mansion were agitated and had their own thoughts.
Zhou Shu didn't worry about this, he was concentrating on forging his own magic weapon.
Using Yuanshi to forge divine weapons was also a challenge for Zhou Shu, an unprecedented challenge.
Before this, he had never used Yuanshi and had little understanding of its characteristics.
He did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. Forging weapons is a technical job in itself. If you are not careful, you may fail to make weapons, let alone using a material that has never been used before?
Even with Zhou Shu's strength in forging weapons, he must take it seriously. If he fails, he will need to regain Yuanshi if he wants to start over.
Now that Tongguan City has fallen into the hands of Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng, the difficulty of obtaining Yuanshi again is not the same as before. Even Mu Yuan, if he wants to get closer to the Yuanshi Mine without alerting Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng, it is almost impossible.
Possible.
Once Hou Baidong becomes aware of the relationship between Yuan Shi and the spirit insects, it will be a waste.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Shu could not make any mistakes.
Fortunately, he has already reached the level of proficiency in the art of forging weapons, and before taking action, he has rehearsed the entire process in his mind countless times, so now that he actually takes action, everything goes very smoothly.
In a ball of blazing flames, a shadow is constantly condensing and taking shape under the control of Zhou Shu's hands.
If we continue at this rate, it won't be long before this magical weapon is truly cast.
Forging magic weapons takes time.
But at precisely this time, it was impossible for Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng to be left to them.
A few days later, they could no longer hold back and launched another test.
Last time, Hou Baidong used a tight spell to control Jin Kui and Ge Changlong to assassinate them. This time, Hou Baidong simply and blatantly mobilized an army from Tongguan City.
Seeing that an army of tens of thousands of people surrounded the Wu Mansion from all directions, even the houses around the Wu Mansion were razed to the ground by them.
If you look at it from the sky, it is the only building left within the entire Wu Mansion within a thousand feet.
"Tongguan City's army is not weak. These 10,000 people, even three or five Heavenly Masters, have to temporarily avoid their attack."
In the distance, Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng stood there, watching the army approaching Wu Mansion.
It has to be said that Hou Baidong is extremely cautious. Even under the current situation, he still does not dare to get too close to the Wu Mansion, for fear that the master of the Tiangong Pavilion is hiding in the Wu Mansion. p>
"This time, we should be able to force him out, right?"
Ge Zhenfeng said.
The person he talks about naturally refers to the master of Tiangong Pavilion.
"Even if you can't, it's not bad to use up their strength."
Hou Baidong sneered and said, "Tongguan City has hundreds of thousands of troops. I want to see who can afford it!"
"Pavilion Master Hou, something seems not quite right."
Before Hou Baidong finished speaking, Ge Zhenfeng suddenly let out a sigh and said.
"Huh?"
Hou Baidong frowned when he heard the sound and looked over, "Why did they stop? Didn't you order them to kill all the Wu family members? Tongguan City is the territory of the Ge family. Ge Changlong is already dead. Could it be that these soldiers
,How dare you disobey your orders?"
"It shouldn't be."
Ge Zhenfeng said in confusion, "I am the sixth elder of the Ge family. They are just dogs of my Ge family. How dare they disobey my orders?!"
Although he was puzzled by the situation in front of him, the 10,000 Tongguan City soldiers all stopped ten feet away from the Wu Mansion, clearly disobeying Ge Zhenfeng's order.
"Could it be that the master of Tiangong Pavilion has already instigated the rebellion of my Ge family's army?"
