This kind of posture where the entire audience is silent and pays attention to one person when they disagree may not be possible for some mentally fragile people to survive in this kind of situation.
Fortunately, Su Wu's psychological quality was strong enough.
He lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said: "Zhuzhao!"
"From today on, my official name is Zhuzhao!"
"Can the candle shine..."
Kotetsu whispered.
The craftsman behind him handed over a wooden board and a charcoal pencil.
He held the charcoal pen and scrawled two traditional Chinese characters neatly on the clean wooden board. He then asked Su Wu to check: "This is your name - Zhuzhao?!"
"Yes!" Su Wu looked at the two very familiar Chinese characters and nodded in response.
"Gloomy fire,
It can also break the long night...
This name is good, this name is good!" Hu Che marveled in admiration and looked at Su Wu with a closer look.
It seems that because of this name, Su Wu suddenly entered the vision of a "cultural man" like Hu Che, and was finally fully accepted by him, "Today, you forged your first sword. On the sword's inscription, will be
There’s the word ‘町 illuminate’!”
…
lunch at noon,
Su Wu got a whole fish, some salted raw fish meat, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of crab leg soup.
The soup still smells like pot water,
But after Su Wu gradually got used to it, she found the miso soup tasted pretty good.
Damu was busy with the "Su Yan" knife embryo at noon today. He had a hurried meal in the next room and did not come to look for Su Wu.
Su Wu and Master Ji Liang were sitting at the same table.
"Abu, how is your recovery going?
If possible, would you like to start carving 'Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibal Feast' tomorrow?" Craftsman Kira looked at the whole fish on Su's lunch plate, then looked at the three pieces of fish in his own bowl, and sighed in his heart.
Take a breath.
But then he felt a little excited again,
Master Hu Che now values Abu, but after all, Abu is his disciple.
From now on Abu became famous,
I will also benefit from it!
After understanding this point, the injustice in Master Kira's heart disappeared.
He stayed at An Gang Sword Forging Factory for more than a year,
In fact, I understand better that in the skill of 'sword making', talent is more important than hard work.
Now it is obvious that the disciple's talent is far stronger than his own.
“I feel like I’ve recovered very well,
You can continue to receive ink tomorrow!" Su Wu replied immediately.
Only when the ink drawing is more than 30% complete can it begin to show its power and be used by others.
He is very looking forward to the effect of the ink painting.
Even if the current ink painting of Dongliu Island is not a ‘complete product’.
Kira nodded: "Then I will continue to ink you tomorrow - if you progress quickly and your body recovers quickly, you may be able to surpass me in the progress of inking. Then you will need to have a higher degree of inking.
The two great craftsmen, including Hu Che and An Gang, have done the ink for you!"
"This afternoon, you have to assist Master An Gang by his side, so be careful!
Master An Gang has always been a strict person!"
"I understand." Su Wu agreed and continued to ask Ji Liang, "Master craftsman, how many ink patterns can be engraved on my body tomorrow?"
Ji Liang stopped eating, looked at Su Wu and said, "You have engraved one-twentieth of the ink drawing for the first time. If you have almost recovered today, I can consider engraving one-tenth of it for you tomorrow.
Even one-eighth of the inked image.
It depends on your specific endurance at that time.
Each time you receive ink, your body's endurance will increase to varying degrees.
There are too many things to consider when engraving for the first time, so I dare not engrave at a normal speed.
You will have less worries the second time,
If you engrave at normal speed, even one-eighth of the ink pattern will take nearly half the time compared to the first time!"
Obviously,
Kira still has a deep memory of the first time he inked Su Wu, which resulted in Su Wu and Omu almost not being able to return home when it got dark. He was also making a promise to Su Wu at that moment.
“I hope I can engrave one-eighth of the inked image the second time.
Even more." Su Wu smiled and said.
The two of them immersed themselves in finishing the food.
They all went to the sword-making room dedicated to Master An Gang to wait.
The two of them were the first to arrive,
The other ink masters working with An Gang have not yet arrived.
——It is also because Kira has a lower status compared to other ink craftsmen, so he needs to wait in the sword-making room in advance.
Since Su Wu was with him, he also came to wait.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long in the sword-making room.
The two ink craftsmen also gathered in the sword-making room and began to burn red charcoal fire and prepare various utensils.
There was not much communication between the few of them, they were all doing their own things.
As a 'newcomer', Su Wu only needed to pull the bellows, help light the fire, and occasionally adjust the temperature under An Gang's instructions.
At this time,
A master ink maker, whose whole body was covered with evil tattoos and whose body was haunted by a trace of evil charm, picked up the sword forged by An Gang.
The blade embryo that has been 'extended' has a neat shape, with fine lines faintly visible on it.
"High-quality knife embryo!"
The ink maker looks at the knife embryo,
After a while, he handed the knife blank to another thinner ink craftsman.
The lean craftsman stroked the mark struck by the hammer on the blade and praised: "Master An Gang's skills are unparalleled in the Boqi Kingdom. If this high-quality blade is used well in the future,
It should become a top-grade swordsman!"
He was talking,
He lowered his head and looked at the busy Su Wu and Ji Liang,
Then he handed the knife embryo to Kira for viewing.
Kira saw the blade embryo and praised it again.
It was Su Wu's turn to appreciate the knife embryo,
Su Wu glanced at the marks left by the hammer on the blade, and ran his fingers over the blade - Master An Gang's skills were extremely neat, and he couldn't find fault with this blade.
Indeed, as the slimming master said,
If Master An Gang performs stably in everything that follows,
This will definitely be a top-grade knife.
Make every process perfect and strive for excellence.
What you get in the end is just a high-grade sword!
If you want to touch the swords at the two levels of "extreme" and "supreme", you can only do it by entering the state of "sensation between heaven and man" and touching the inspiration of heaven and earth!
Su Wu praised the knife embryo as usual,
Return it to the ink maker.
After several more minutes, Master An Gang finally walked into the sword-making room.
This well-known master craftsman is taller than most Dongliu Islanders. He has a slim figure and a goatee under his chin. He looks like a teacher, more like a sledgehammer.
The knife maker.
An Gang looked serious and did not smile.
He glanced at the four people in the field who were all bowing and saluting, and nodded.
His eyes lingered on Su Wu for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face: "Kotetsu recommended you to me, saying that the first sword you forged was a good sword...??m
Well done,
He gives you some killing stone scraps as a reward.
As the owner of An Gang Sword Forging Factory, I cannot be stingy.
——After you make the sword today, you can choose a pound of real killing stones to add more materials to your first sword!"
"Thank you, Master An Gang!
I will continue to work hard!" Su Wu responded immediately.
An Gang smiled but did not comment.
Kira, who was in the corner and was responsible for preparing the 'Blade Soil', twitched his lips secretly.
He found that ‘Abu’ often said what he just said,
It seems to have become the other person’s mantra,
Whether facing himself, or facing Masters Kotetsu and Master Anzang, as long as they receive praise, the other party will say loudly: "I will continue to work hard!"
Talk too much,
No matter how energetic it sounds, it still gives Kira a cynical and perfunctory feeling.
"The sword made today was specially commissioned by Omi Mori Fujiwara Goyoshi's aide, Noda Yoshitomo.
The Fujiwara family is powerful, and we must go all out to complete their entrustment!
The quality of the sword cast this time,
It must be at the 'top grade', or even higher!
Therefore, everyone must do your best!" An Gang glanced at the four people present. Under the deep sense of oppression in his eyes, everyone lowered their heads. Seeing this, Su Wu also lowered his head and responded loudly with the others.
yes'.
immediately,
Everyone got busy,
An Gang didn't pay any more attention to Su Wu.
After Su Yan,
The two steps of shaping with fire and covering with earth and burning the blade went very smoothly.
However,
When ‘turning’ later,
An Gang and the slimming craftsman alternately put hammers on the blade to adjust the curvature of the blade.
At this moment, the blade suddenly turned blood red - drops of blood seeped out from the blade, and quickly gathered into a stream, continuously flowing into the calcining furnace next to it -
The fire in the furnace is burning brightly,
It shot out three feet high and turned into blood-red human hands in mid-air, competing to grab the knife blade forged by the two craftsmen!
Only then did Su Wu realize that,
That blade is not made of ordinary steel.
It's made of killing stone!
He had held the knife blade in his hand before and checked it, but he didn't notice anything unusual about it!
why is that?
Questions flashed through his mind.
At the same time, An Gang watched the flames turn into bloody hands. He grabbed the knife blade he was beating and was about to drag it into the fire. He looked calm, glanced at the uneasy master slimmer, and shouted: "Don't be afraid.
!
It's just that the killing stone woke up!
Just let it continue to sleep!"
While talking,
An Gang's gray hunting clothes suddenly turned into black fire and burned——
Showing the thin but muscular body underneath,
The body is covered with ink drawings,
The evil creatures in the picture are squirming one after another,
From An Gang's skin extended out strips of tiger claws, wolf claws, eagle claws and other inhuman claws. Those claws were covered with blazing black fire. He grabbed the hammer and hit the knife blade violently!
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Every time the hammer fell, the flaming bloody hand holding the knife blade trembled endlessly!
The slimming craftsman next to him saw this,
He also reacted, and purple-black flames surged around his body.
The claws of his hands, which were weaker than An Gang's, extended from his body. They also grabbed the hammer and violently forged the knife blade!
With the combined efforts of the two,
Those flaming bloody hands that stretched out from the furnace retracted one after another!
The skinny craftsman's face turned pale, and he was relieved to release the "Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibals Banquet" that he had awakened.
And the claws extending from An Gang's body grasped the hammer, and You Zi continued to forge it.
This moment,
Su Wu sensed that 'An Gang''s 'intention' was flowing through the ink painting all over his body, trying to blend and communicate with those inhuman claws!
