My Weird Life

  Chapter 686 Awarding the Sword (12)

  In the deep forest near the river.

  A large open space was cleared around the dilapidated small temple.

  A thatched shed was built behind the small temple.

  In the grass shed,

  Several smelting furnaces built with stones and mud filled the gaps stood in it, and the charcoal fire in the smelting furnaces was already burning red.

Even in a simple thatched hut with air leaking from all sides, the faces of the Taoist priests in the hut were flushed with heat. One by one, they rolled up their sleeves and opened their chests. Under the command of Master Su Wu, they melted a large piece into a The regular-shaped '鉧铁' is broken into small pieces, and then divided into several piles according to the texture.

  Dongliu Island's craft of casting swords is most effective when materials are scarce.

  The black Ksitigarbha statue is about half the height of a person, but Su Wu wants to use it to cast swords suitable for all his disciples, as well as Chilong Master. The materials are still a bit stretched, so we need to save some.

   At present, it is most appropriate to use Dongliu Island's sword casting process.

  Ding Ding Ding...

  Dangdangdang...

  Xianzheng, Xianyi, and Xianchun each wielded a sledgehammer and a small hammer, and finally divided all the iron into several piles of small iron pieces.

  Xianzhen, Xiansheng, and Xianzhi were busy pouring dustpan after dustpan of firewood into the furnace to ensure the high temperature of the furnace.

Su Wu selected the 'jade steel' suitable for 'heart iron' from the iron blocks, filled it into the furnace, calcined it into a rectangular steel bar, and then spoke to the real Chilong who had been watching him casting swords Shouted: "Master, now you and I need to work together to forge the sword!

  I have also taught you how to use the "Ghost and God Training Method" and "Heart Training" before,

  You need to be more familiar with how to use the two, so that you can use them successfully! "

   "Someone knows!"

Master Chilong responded, put the sleeves on his elbows, and wrapped the sleeves tightly with a tie to prevent the clothes on his elbows from slipping off. He looked at the big hammer in Su Wu's hand, and put the big hammer in his hand. Changed to a small hammer and walked to the iron felt.

  The eldest disciple concentrated his attention and swung the big hammer,

  Every time it hits the rectangular steel bar, the shape and outline of the steel bar can be slightly changed, gradually approaching the shape of the sword.

At this time, part of the disciple's mind seemed to extend into the steel bar, so he could penetrate every change of the steel bar, and the hammer in his hand could make subtle adjustments in time according to the changes, making the entire sword blade The forging of the sword has become more and more refined, and because the sword blade is fused with the disciple's mind and heart, it has given birth to a different kind of spirituality in the sword blade.

"If this kind of forging method can be applied to the sword that Master needs, there should be a ninety-nine percent probability that the charm of the Patriarch's Way will be connected with Master himself, and the master will use the sword like an arm. refer to!"

   Master Chilong was still observing his disciples making sword shapes, when Su Wu suddenly raised his head and spoke to him.

  The eldest disciple was single-minded and dual-purpose, while building the shape of the sword, he was able to separate his mind to talk to him.

   Master Chilong nodded, and said: "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his weapon.

  Someone watched you use the forging method in this way, so that the mind and the sword were combined, and he vaguely understood.

  Thousands of tempering—is it possible to integrate your own charm and talisman body into this gradually formed sword with continuous forging? It's similar to a certain idea of ​​using talismans to refine swords.

   It's just that the materials used today were not available at that time. "

   talking,

  Chilong also waved the small hammer in the gap between the big hammer in Su Wu's hand, helping Su Wu to correct the sword embryo more perfectly and remove the burrs and pits!

  As he said, he observed Su Wu forging weapons for such a long time, and he really gained something.

  As soon as he made a move, he instantly entered the state of 'heart training'.

  His thoughts and Su Wu’s thoughts can complement each other,

  The sledgehammer and the small hammer fall on the sword embryo alternately,

  In the thatched hut, it seems that there is only a pair of masters wielding hammers and forging weapons!

   When not too much,

  The sword embryo was completely forged.

  Su Wu held the iron tongs, clamped the tail of the sword, and carefully observed the fine lines on the sword body after forging with the hammer.

   A moment later,

  He looked at Chilong Zhenren who looked a little nervous: "Top grade!

  You can proceed to the next step! "

   Master Chilong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

   made by fire,

   covered with soil and burned the blade,

   coarse grinding,

   finely ground,

decorate.

   In every next step, Chilong Zhenren participated in it until the whole sword was completely finished.

Su Wu held the scabbard in one hand, and placed the blade under the sunlight with the other hand. As the sunlight flowed, a cold light flowed like water on the silver-frost sword. A small tree as thick as a bowl was chopped off in half!

  Clatter—

  The small tree swayed and fell into the forest, startling a few birds that inhabited the surrounding woods.

  He put the sword back into its sheath, and hung the whole sheathed sword on the wooden post in front of the thatched shed.

  Beilu Mountain Taoists looked at the bright black sword wrapped in shark skin on the wooden pillar, and they couldn't hide their longing in their eyes.

  After witnessing Su Wu's 'testing the sword', Master Chilong asked Su Wu, "How is it, how is the quality?"

   "With the sharpness of this sword alone, it can already cut fiercely.

   is a half-superior sword! " Su Wu replied to Master Chilong.

  Hearing what he said, Master Chilong grinned: "It seems that the result of casting a sword for the first time is not bad, and it can be justified. Which disciple are you going to give this sword to?"

  Su Wu shook his head and said: "Junior Sister Ding Ling and all the disciples under my sect hope to get a treasured sword.

  We did our best to create eight swords and let them choose by themselves.

  Sometimes not only people pick swords, but also swords pick people. "

  He paused, looked at Master Chilong, and continued: "This time, you will be in charge of the entire sword casting process, and I will assist you."

   As he spoke, he handed the sledgehammer to Master Chilong, and replaced the small hammer in the master's hand by himself.

   "So I'm running the whole process?

  What if I screw up? Master Chilong took the sledgehammer and asked Su Wu with a frown.

Su Wu gathered the jade steel, poured it into the melting furnace, and said: "There are still ten parts of jade steel here. If every sword can be forged smoothly and there is no need to return to the furnace for recasting, the remaining two parts of jade steel , and can also help you reforge the sword in the portable sword box.

  If the forging is not smooth,

   It is impossible to say that the materials that contain the charm of the patriarch's Dao have to be shared with your disciples and grandchildren, and their respective requirements must be met first.

   screwed up not screwed up,

  Master can figure it out by himself. "

   "..."

   Master Chilong scratched his head, and could only gather his energy to carefully check each sword casting process, and strive to ensure that there are no factors that may lead to failure in each process.

   Time passed slowly.

   The sound of tinkling rang non-stop in the deep forest.

   There were exclamations and cheers from the Taoists of Beilu Mountain.

  When the sun sets to the west,

  The sounds of forging weapons in the thatched shed stopped for a while.

Now, in the thatched shed, not only Su Wu and Master Chilong, but also the seven disciples of Ding Ling and Xianzi, all participated in the process of forging weapons—the second semi-superior sword was forged. after,

  Chilong suddenly suggested that all the disciples of the sect should join in, learn the 'forging of the heart' and forging methods of ghosts and gods, and assist Su Wu in forging weapons.

  And he handed over the recasting of the seven swords in his sword box to his disciples and grandchildren to practice.

  After they all have some feel,

   They assisted Su Wu one by one to forge their own swords.

   In this way,

  Even if the quality of the forged weapons is poor, it is also the result of themselves, and it will not make them think that the master or ancestor prefers which one, so they allocate the good weapons to which one.

  Fortunately, the roads of Beilu Mountain put great effort into forging weapons,

  Su Wu also didn't want his disciples to be burdened by weapons in the future, so he put more effort into forging weapons.

   Of the eight swords that were finally forged, seven of them were semi-supreme.

  Only when Su Wu and Ding Ling worked together to forge swords, Ding Ling used the "Madame Wuyan" to perform ghost and **** forging, and assisted Su Wu to forge a sword of superior quality.

  Successfully forged a weapon that all disciples agreed with, and reforged the sword in the box for Chilong Zhenren,

   In the end, more than half of the jade steel was left.

   It's getting dark,

  On the wooden pillar in front of the thatched shed, there is a sword with a handle, the blade of which is hidden in the sheath, and the edge is not visible.

   Xianzheng brought an oil lamp to illuminate the thatched shed.

  Su Wu picked up the first sword and handed it to Xianzheng: "This is the sword that I refined together with your ancestors. Come and try your hand to see if it suits you."

"yes."

  Xianzheng respectfully agreed, and took the black sword with excitement and trepidation.

  Hold the hilt of the sword in your hand, and exert strength gently.

  The sword light like silver frost poured out of the black scabbard like flowing water.

  The sword light flickered, as if it was breathing!

"Can.

  It seems that this sword is quite suitable for you. "Su Wu looked at the sword light that seemed to be breathing on the sword, he nodded, and then called the youngest disciple 'Xian Sheng', and handed Xian Sheng the sword that was almost as tall as the opponent.

  Xiansheng held up the sword with both hands with great difficulty, and imitated his elder brother, and drew out the blade.

  Her sword did not show any abnormal appearance.

  The floating cold blade did not show much dazzling light in the straw shed.

   This sword did not pick its current master—‘Xiansheng’.

  However, among the eight swords in the thatched shed, none of them would entrust themselves to a female crown who is like a little bean and has not yet learned the Taoism.

Su Wu took the sword from Xiansheng's hand. Under Xiansheng's slightly timid eyes, he held the hilt, and as soon as he drew the edge, the sword light spread a flood of cold air, melted into the air, and became As wisps of sword light swimming.

   This wisp of sword light can also cut people's skin!

"Do not worry.

  When you grow up, you will be able to use the power of this sword.

   You must treat it well in the future. Su Wu put the blade back into the sheath, still handed the sword to Xiansheng, and rubbed her head, "Usually, this sword is enough for you. "

   "Thank you, Master." Xian Sheng thought that Master was going to take her sword away, but he didn't expect the sword to be lost, so he immediately kowtowed to Su Wu to thank him with joy.
