Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain
Chapter 74: Forging sword and reforging the eight-sided Han sword
Chapter 74 Forging the Sword and Reforging the Eight-sided Han Sword
Although Li Shuguo is young.
But the knowledge is definitely not bad.
It has been more than ten years since the day I took over Fengfengshan.
I started to come into contact with various materials for refining weapons when I was only a few years old.
Gold, jade, bronze, steel, wood and stone.
Whether it is swords, guns, swords, halberds, strong bows and spears, or even muskets and cannons, he has made them all with his own hands.
It can be said that he can clearly tell what kind of weapon is suitable for refining from any material he can see, how much material to use, and what kind of fire it should be.
only…
He has never heard of this big muscle in front of him.
To be honest, it is not uncommon for animals to use their internal muscles to make weapons, and it is even very common.
Since ancient times, cow and horse tendons have been used to make bowstrings.
After treatment, both flexibility and endurance are of top quality.
Like the big bow used by the old foreigners.
It may seem ordinary, but it was made by a Taoist monk from the previous generation who went to Guanzhong to rob a tomb. After killing a Qinchuan cow, he took out its big ribs and spent countless efforts to have someone build it.
For this reason, it was specially named Qinchuan Gong.
It’s just that very few people know about it.
The bow string is full of the moon, and it can have the power of nearly a hundred stones. Even if the old foreigner has practiced the art of string control since he was a child, he cannot draw the bow to the full moon.
When we were in Pingshan before, the wild boar we met was only half a month old. An arrow pierced both eyes without any damage to its fur.
It can be imagined how powerful Qinchuan Gong is.
Li Shuguo himself also polished several old bows.
Although this is the age of firearms.
But many people were born in the previous dynasty, especially veterans who had been on the battlefield, or people who practiced martial arts. They have a deep-rooted enthusiasm and dedication to longbows and heavy crossbows.
It's just that the tendons of cattle and sheep are easy to see, but the big tendons of Qinchuan Bow are hard to find.
At this moment.
Feel the sinister aura on Dajin.
Li Shuguo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably.
He couldn't even imagine what kind of terrifying beast it was that had to be hunted to obtain the seven to eight meter long inner tendon.
A big snake? Python?
Or is it the legendary dragon?
Li Shuguo murmured in a low voice, his face turned as white as gold paper due to shock and horror.
“Shopkeeper Li, how do you do?”
Chen Yulou stood aside with his hands behind his hands and suddenly asked with a chuckle.
Hear this.
Li Shuguo's eyelids trembled suddenly, and then he came back to his senses. He secretly took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the turbulent vibration in his heart.
“Rarely seen in the world.”
“Li, I really learned a lot today.”
Hands clasped in fists, Li Shuguo sighed with a serious look.
“Perhaps Shopkeeper Li can use it to refine weapons?”
“This...let me think about it.”
Li Shuguo frowned and fell into deep thought.
The first choice for things with large tendons is naturally to be used for making bow strings.
But an ordinary bow is only about one or two feet at most, and no matter how large it is, it cannot exceed five feet.
After all, the bow is a long-distance weapon.
The larger the bow, the more stringent the requirements for the person holding the bow.
And sometimes the manpower is exhausted. Even if the strength is as strong as an ox, how many bows can be fired?
If calculated according to the size of the top strong bow, at least five of these big ribs can be made.
At that time, it will inevitably have to be cut off.
This is a huge waste in itself for materials that have been rare for hundreds of years.
The large crossbows on top of the bows and arrows, such as the legendary Qin crossbow, serial crossbow carriage and divine arm bed crossbow, are almost the same as artillery, and the materials used are suitable.
It's just that shopkeeper Chen meant what he said.
It is obviously to build a weapon for yourself.
Could it be used to defend the city?
The question is, how many people in the entire Three Hunan and Four Rivers have the courage to attack Chenjiazhuang?
Even if you are a desperado, you still have to consider how many lives you have.
Since the crossbow has been denied.
Li Shuguo could only think in other directions.
When it comes to long weapons, throughout the ages, there are no more than four types: spears, spears, halberds, and spears.
Thinking of this, he seemed to have an idea.
The confusion in his eyes dissipated, and he raised his head to look at the figure opposite.
“I wonder if Shopkeeper Chen has any favorite utensils?”
This question hits the point.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but smile.
From the moment he took off the demon tendon, he was actually thinking about it and had a few ideas, but he never made a decision.
Sent someone to invite Li Shuguo to come, with the intention of discussing with him.
“Shopkeeper Li, what do you think of the sword?”
“Sword?”
Li Shuguo obviously didn’t think about it in this regard.
He frowned slightly, with a hint of hesitation on his face.
After all, if you want to make the best use of everything, it would be a pity to only refine one sword with such a big tendon.
but…
He is a blacksmith.
How to do it depends on what others tell you.
“The sword is not bad either. The sword is an ancient holy item, the leader of hundreds of soldiers, and the ancestor of short-range weapons. It is also consistent with the temperament of shopkeeper Chen, that is..."
After pondering for a moment, Li Shuguo continued.
“Maybe some will be wasted.”
“Of course, there is also loss during the refining process.”
Li Shuguo put it very euphemistically.
However, how could Chen Yulou not understand what he meant, so he did not delay, stretched out his hand and gently shook it from under his gown.
next moment.
There was a short knife in his hand.
“Shopkeeper Li, take a look, what does this knife look like?”
Li Shuguo took it carefully.
As soon as he took it, he felt a deep chill piercing his flesh and bones.
That is to say, he has been forging iron and refining weapons in the fire room all year round, and his energy and blood are much better than others. At this moment, he can barely suppress it by using all his energy.
Looking down again, I saw that the blade was long and narrow, the blade was sharp and sharp, and there was a faint light glowing around it.
But what frightened him the most.
But it was the narrow and deep blood groove at the edge of the knife.
Even after hundreds of years have passed, there is still a dark red blood color that is so thick that it cannot be erased.
It is conceivable how many lives and blood this knife has been stained with.
“A good knife.”
"Shopkeeper Chen's sword, if you look at it from below, it is really a sharp and sharp killing weapon."
At this moment, he held the short knife carefully.
As the master of Honeycomb Mountain who has refined countless weapons, Li Shuguo actually felt shuddering.
“What do you think, Shopkeeper Li, of integrating the excess demon sinew into this sword and re-training it?”
“Recast the forged knife?!”
Li Shuguo was still sighing at first.
As soon as I heard this, my whole heart suddenly moved.
He didn't care about the deep and fierce murderous aura on the sword. He kept observing it repeatedly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
“As long as shopkeeper Chen trusts me.”
“Li will never disappoint your trust.”
What could be more interesting than reforging an ancient sword?
In his opinion, although this knife is terrifying and terrifying.
But it must have been following the original owner for too long, being stained with countless blood, and slowly building up murderous aura, before he could reach this point.
The system itself is, to be honest, not satisfactory.
If he was allowed to operate the sword himself, Li Shuguo would be 70% sure that the ancient sword would be rejuvenated.
“Now that I have taken it out, I naturally have absolute trust in Li Zhangui.”
Chen Yulou smiled.
However, he was more concerned about the long sword than the ancient sword that the Corpse King carried.
"With this sword, the demon tendon will not be wasted, right?" "Of course..."
Li Shuguo is still thinking about the style of forging the knife.
Hearing this, I suddenly came back to my senses.
“I wonder, Shopkeeper Chen, whether he prefers long swords, short swords, soft swords, heavy swords or willow-leaf swords?”
There are so many types of swords.
There are countless famous swords throughout the ages.
Of course it is best to ask clearly beforehand.
“How about the Eight-sided Han Sword?”
Chen Yulou spoke immediately without any hesitation.
Aoki's longevity skill lacked killing power, so he wanted to make a weapon for himself.
And he has now entered the realm of internal refining of the five internal organs.
Blood surged like a tide, and his strength was almost the same as that of Kunlun.
Swords such as soft swords and willow leaves are light and have no feeling in the hand, so they are not considered at all.
The first choice is either a heavy sword or a broad sword.
The latter is not quite in line with his temperament.
As for the heavy sword, what is more powerful and handsome than the Eight-sided Han Sword?
When he was watching a certain Hong Kong movie.
The shot of Luo Tianhong sweeping the eight-sided Han sword was so cool that I still can’t forget it to this day.
“This…this is an ancient artifact.”
“I haven’t seen anyone use it for how many years.”
Hearing the words "Eight-sided Han Sword", Li Shuguo's eyes widened.
Even though he had gradually gotten a feel for shopkeeper Chen’s character, he still couldn’t hide his surprise.
It is extremely rare for someone to go to great lengths to refine a cold weapon during the Republic of China.
In the end, what this person requested was an ancient object from more than 2,000 years ago.
Let’s put it this way.
The number of people in the world who have seen the eight-sided Han sword with their own eyes is no more than two hands.
Moreover, what can be seen today, without exception, are all artifacts stolen from ancient tombs.
Only those who specialize in collecting ancient swords can see them in their homes.
but…
Li Shuguo is one of the few.
He has no interest in ancient antique utensils, but as the owner of Fengfeng Mountain and a heir of the Li family, he knows all about the utensils of the past dynasties.
What's more, swords are the most common type of weapons.
And the Han sword occupies a place among the swords.
“Hahaha, maybe Chen has a special liking for antiquities.”
Looking at him hesitating and not daring to ask.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but make a self-deprecating joke.
Antiquities…
Capture these two words.
Li Shuguo slapped his forehead and almost forgot that the man in front of him was the leader of Xiling, and his job was to dig graves with buckets.
“Okay, now that shopkeeper Chen has decided, I will do my best next time.”
However, this topic was quite sensitive, so Li Shuguo didn't dare to think too much, so he quickly agreed.
“Oh, by the way, Shopkeeper Chen, there is one more thing I would like to ask.”
“Shopkeeper Li, feel free to speak out.”
Seeing that he did not hesitate, Chen Yulou suddenly felt confident.
The Eight-sided Han Sword is indeed rare, but he is a descendant of the Li family after all.
“Is there any ground fire around here?”
Li Shuguo was worried that he didn't understand, so he added.
“Forging weapons requires extremely high flames. When my father went south and traveled through several provinces, he only found one underground fire cave in Yuhua Mountain.”
“This is also the reason why Honeycomb Mountain falls on Yuhua Mountain.”
“If it were replaced by an ordinary charcoal fire, the temperature would not be enough and the molten iron would not be pure enough, which would have a great impact on the weapons.”
Earth fire? !
Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows.
This person really thinks of himself in every aspect.
Before Li Shuguo came, he only thought about sending people to look for ground fire when he was wandering in the backyard.
Unexpectedly, I heard these two words again so soon.
“To be honest with Shopkeeper Li, Chen is planning to have someone look for him these days.”
“Even if it’s not a matter of time.”
Li Shuguo frowned.
"It's better than this. If shopkeeper Chen can trust me, let me take this big tendon back to the mountain. At most...well, in half a month, Li will personally deliver the long sword and short sword to Chenjiazhuang."
half a month.
Chen Yulou made some calculations and decided that the three brothers and sisters from Partridge Post would come to meet up and then rush to Zhelong Mountain together. There was not much difference in time.
It's just...he had already made up his mind about the ground fire.
A Xie Ling uses armor and weapons as its basic means.
Over the years, the grass shields, rattan armors and centipede-hanging mountain ladders were all completed in Chenjiazhuang or Qingshan, and they were never left to others.
The copper and iron instruments involved are also refined using charcoal furnaces.
If there is a ground fire.
It will undoubtedly be much more convenient to build armor and weapons in the future.
Of course, the deepest reason.
He still has to use earth fire to burn medicine to make elixirs.
“How about looking for it first?”
“Shopkeeper Li will stay temporarily in Zhuangzi for the past few days and think carefully about forging swords.”
“If you need anything, just say it and Chen will have someone prepare it.”
Chen Yulou shook his head and said calmly.
The tone was calm, neither urgent nor slow, but it conveyed a domineering tone that was irresistible.
Hearing this, Li Shuguo showed a wry smile. To be honest, he had expected this situation.
Don’t say anything else.
That big tendon alone is rare in the world.
At least he has never seen the second one in his life.
“Shopkeeper Chen, Li has some experience and skills in searching for earth fire. Anyway, he is idle.”
“Why don’t you find a few guys who are familiar with the nearby mountains in the next few days and let them lead the way, and I can help you look for them?”
Li Shuguo hesitated for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
Of course being idle is just an excuse.
What he was worried about was that once he left, there would be unrest in the Yuhua Mountain area.
The longer he stays, the more difficult it will be to control the situation.
Of course, there is another reason.
With such rare materials in front of him, as a master of pinsmithing, he couldn't bear it. He wished he could have set up a steel-making furnace one day earlier and worked on it himself.
It is precisely because of all these reasons that he took the initiative to ask for help.
"Here... Shopkeeper Li has been traveling all the way without taking a break, and he is going to look for fire again."
“How can Chen be so embarrassed?”
Hear the words.
Chen Yulou’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.
This, he can say, is what he wants.
Li Shuguo is an expert at playing with fire. He personally takes action and sends out a group of people to search blindly all over the mountains and plains like scattering nails. I don't know how much stronger it will be.
However, no matter how moved my heart is, I still have to say polite words.
After all, he is a guest from afar.
It's not like he's the Chen family's clerk who lets him come and go as he pleases.
“Shopkeeper Chen, you’re very polite.”
“I’ve heard for a long time that the Xiangyin realm has endless scenery, so I’d like to take this opportunity to appreciate it.”
Li Shuguo is a smart man.
How could you not understand the meaning of his words?
Just waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
“Well, in that case, Chen will not be polite.”
“Tonight at Guanyun Tower, I will cleanse myself from the wind and dust for shopkeeper Li, and then have a good night’s rest. Tomorrow I will go into the mountains to look for earth fire.”
