Chapter Six: Refining weapons is like refining people
In the next few days, Yi Xifeng trained Tongyi and martial arts in the morning. When he practiced martial arts in the afternoon, he continued to train martial arts. In the evening, he practiced the Jiu Qi Control Technique.
After a few days, I have indeed discovered several benefits brought by drinking alcohol.
Jiu Qi Yujin penetrates the meridians of the whole body, and can relieve various fatigue caused by training after running it a few times. This is the same as what Li Chengqian said, and it can be regarded as a wonderful way to assist in training martial arts.
Another wonderful thing is that through daily practice of Jiu Qi Yu Jin, Yi Xifeng's endurance has been significantly improved. In just a few days of practice, he can barely complete the standing training, that is, standing on the horse step for an hour.
Yi Xifeng naturally began to participate in the fighting and shooting training program.
As Yi Xifeng gradually became familiar with the cultivation method of Jiuqi Yujin, his reputation as an alcoholic spread throughout Yinren Village.
Think about it, a five-year-old child drinks a small jar of strong liquor every day (a small jar is about two kilograms). It would be difficult for him not to become famous.
Fortunately, Yi Xifeng lives in the village chief's house, and the village chief's son, Lin Fenghuo's father, Lin Rufa, is the leader of the blacksmith of Yinren Village.
The Blacksmith Building is a functional organization in Yinren Village, which manages all the blacksmiths, iron smelting and armament work in Yinren Village.
Whether it is the hoes, sickles, hunting crossbows used by the common people in the village, the weapons and armor used by the strong men in the village to protect their iron clothes, or even the sophisticated protective gear and weapons worn by the mountain patrols, they are all made and managed uniformly by blacksmiths.
Of course, the most indispensable thing in blacksmithing is strong liquor.
Winter always comes very early in the mountains. Before entering November, Yinren Village ushered in the first snowfall of winter.
The maple leaf forest, which was still bright red in late autumn, has quietly changed into silver. Only occasionally, through the layers of snow, you can still see a touch of red underneath the snow.
Yi Xifeng's thin figure sat alone in the middle of the snow. He wore a thin coarse cloth sweatshirt and carried a one-foot-high wine gourd behind his back.
The mouth of the gourd was not plugged with a cork, but a hollow reed rod was inserted inside, and the other end was held in the boy's mouth.
The early winter evening had gradually turned colder, but waves of heat were emanating from the fair boy's body. Even the ground beneath him revealed an area without snow.
Yi Xifeng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with wisdom and doubt that did not match his age.
"The qi of wine controls the energy, gathers the qi of blood in the Dantian, the qi of wine replaces the qi of blood and penetrates the meridians throughout the body, purifies the blood, and refines the soul. There is nothing wrong with these, but the effect now is not as significant as before." Yi Xifeng slowly wrinkled. He frowned in thought.
At this time, a heroic young man ran up from a distance. His skin color was dark and wheat-colored. If he wasn't Yi Xifeng's best friend Lin Fenghuo, who could he be?
"Xifeng, you've been sitting here for almost two hours. Come on, follow me to see my father forging swords. This time there are new temple tools coming out!" The dark-skinned young man said to Yi Xifeng excitedly.
"Well, I haven't seen Uncle Lin forge a knife in person for a long time. Let's go right away. By the way, Heizi, how did you know this time it was a temple weapon?" The fair boy looked at him with a smile.
In fact, Yi Xifeng knew that every time Lin Rufa forged weapons, Heizi would say that they were forging temple weapons.
The so-called temple utensils refer to the sacred weapons that can be enshrined in ancestral temples.
The so-called divine weapon not only means that its material is rare and precious, but more importantly, it contains God. However, how to judge whether a weapon contains God is beyond what Yi Xifeng can understand now.
The main reason why temple utensils can grow into divine weapons is that they have been enshrined in ancestral temples for a long time to nourish the gods.
According to legend, temple utensils with a long history will breed utensil spirits, and these utensil spirits are nourished and grown by the gods among the divine weapons.
Lin Fenghuo ignored Yi Xifeng, grabbed his sleeve and ran to the blacksmith in the village.
At this time, a group of people gathered outside the huge iron gate built by the blacksmith. Most of them were young people, and most of them were men.
As a master blacksmith, Lin Rufa's weapons were incapable of resisting this group of martial young men.
The heavy iron door was slowly opened, and ten strong blacksmiths were seen carrying a giant cauldron that was three feet high and one and a half feet wide into the square.
This tripod is completely black, with a purple-gold color inside, and its appearance is uneven. It is said that the metal is more like stone.
The noise around them gradually subsided, and it was obvious that this molten cauldron, which was entirely made of purple gold stone, really shocked many onlookers.
Purple gold stone is a rare stone. Its texture is not hard, but it is extremely resistant to high temperatures. It is also called "sun gold essence".
When Yi Xifeng saw this big cauldron for the first time, he was really shocked. He thought about how strong the person carrying the cauldron must be to lift the cauldron. Later, he learned that this cauldron was not like a big cauldron.
It looks so heavy on the surface.
But this time, ten people were still dispatched to lift the cauldron, which shows that the weapons inside are definitely not light.
At this time, the crowd parted, and a dark-faced man flashed out from behind the iron gate.
The man had a solemn face, a sledgehammer on his waist, black silk hemp straw sandals on his feet, and a huge wine jar in his hand.
The wine jar in his arms was so huge that it could hold at least five hundred kilograms of spirits. The big man opened the seal, grabbed the edge of the jar with one hand, stretched out one foot to press against the bottom of the jar, raised his leg, stretched his toes, and lifted the jar.
The wine jar was lifted up, and the wine in the jar was poured into the water tank placed under the cauldron.
His movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, attracting applause from all around.
The leading man ignored the continuous cheers of the people around him and took a huge iron tong from the hand of the craftsman beside him.
At this time, four people had already used iron hooks to open the gate on one side of the giant cauldron. Without saying a word, the big man picked up the giant tongs and stabbed it into the furnace.
Then with a roar, the big man pulled out an object from the cauldron. The shape of the object could not be clearly seen, but it was estimated to be a long, narrow object with a bright blue color.
The big man thrust the object into the wine at an angle, and with a bang, the wine in the tank started to burn.
The blue flame rose more than ten feet high. The color of the utensils in the tank also dimmed, and the wine in the tank gradually became scarce.
When the wine in the tank disappears, the objects in the tank will also show their true shape!
It was a long knife that was more than three feet long, lying in the sink with a cold light. The blade was black with green veins, and the blade was still stained with wine, and the green flame was still flowing back and forth on the blade.
After a while, the temperature of the blade dropped, and the cyan flame also disappeared, but the cyan veins became a little brighter.
The big man picked up the knife with a smile and said with a loud laugh:
"Three thousand irons for seven years,
Melt and coat this blade.
Have to meet Yin Yang wine,
All the circulation is green fire.
This sword should be called Qinghuo."
This big man is naturally Lin Fenghuo's father, Lin Rufa.
Everyone saw Lin Rufa practicing the green fire sword. Although they didn't know if it was a temple weapon, the scene of green fire filling the sky just now made these villagers very excited.
Presumably, many stories about today's knife forging will be circulated in the public these days.
When the swarthy young man saw that everyone had dispersed, he ran to Lin Rufa and said, "Congratulations, dad, for making another magic weapon!"
Lin Rufa laughed and said, "Boy, why are you so good now? Do you want to touch me?"
Suddenly Lin Fenghuo was like a chicken pecking at rice. Lin Rufa smiled and said: "Don't show off, you really can't lift it, so let me hold it for you..."
Before Lin Rufa could finish speaking, Lin Fenghuo rushed forward, stretched out his little hand and touched Qinghuo's blade, and his hand felt cold.
Lin Rufa smiled and looked at Yi Xifeng, only to find that he was staring at the sink, lost in thought.
"Xifeng, why don't you come over and touch me too?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Yi Xifeng came back to his senses, looked at the Green Fire Sword, then at Lin Rufa, then saluted him and asked:
"Uncle Lin, I dare to ask you, why is strong alcohol used when forging this green fire sword? My nephew has never seen his uncle use strong alcohol before when he made the weapon."
Lin Rufa thought that Yi Xifeng wanted to learn this forging skill, so he smiled and introduced to the fair boy what forging was, how to quench it, and other steps.
Finally, Lin Rufa added: "As for using strong wine to temper it, it is because the quality of the green fire sword itself has reached the level of temple weapons. How can the weak weapon spirit of those previous mortal swords be compared with it."
At this point the man paused and continued: "Wine is a yin and yang thing, it can be fire or water. In the last step of coming out of the furnace, tempering it with wine is to let it melt into water and fire and temper its spirit.
It should be noted that the reason why divine weapons are called divine weapons is because they contain gods. If you temper them with yin and yang and refine their gods, the gods will be strong. If the gods are strong, the weapons will be strong. If the weapons are strong, you can refine water and fire again, and the cycle continues until it is complete.
Weapon spirit!"
After listening to Lin Rufa's words, Yi Xifeng murmured and repeated, and his eyes gradually brightened. After a moment, the fair boy bowed deeply and sighed: "Thank you, Uncle Lin, for your advice!"
Yi Xifeng got inspiration from Lin Confucianism and learned that refining weapons is like refining people.
The reason why Yi Xifeng was able to withstand eighteen gulps of alcohol entering his body was not because of his extraordinary talent, but because of his strong soul.
Seventeen years in the previous life plus three years in this world, a full twenty years of soul, enabled Yi Xifeng to withstand the impact of eighteen sips of alcohol.
It was precisely because of the power of his soul that he had the miracle of being able to reach his whole body at the age of five.
After the initial surge in strength, Yi Xifeng's physical potential growth gradually entered a bottleneck period.
Of course, based on the foundation of his ability to penetrate the meridians throughout his body at the age of five, even if it develops slowly, after Yi Xifeng reaches adulthood, his internal energy is so deep and long that he is one of the best of his generation.
But inspired by Lin's Confucianism, Yi Xifeng thought: The wine-qi control technique is similar to the weapon-refining method. If the soul is strong, it can withstand more wine-qi yin-yang tempering, making the physical body stronger. If it can be tempered
Strengthening the physical body and the soul at the same time, the two complement each other, wouldn't it be better to get twice the result with half the effort?
The young man decided to try this bold conjecture, and the first method he thought of was medicinal wine.
Through practice again and again, Yi Xifeng discovered that every time he practiced wine qi control, the body would absorb a very small part of the wine qi into the body and integrate it into the internal organs.
So Yi Xifeng decided to use the medical skills he learned in the two years he came to this world to strengthen his soul.
