Qiankun Fantasy Sword Record

Zheng Huanlong hosted a banquet for Qin Muchu and his party at Linxinxuan, and Luo Hanchao was specially allowed to attend because of his resolute behavior in the face of major issues of right and wrong.

Qin Muchu had changed back to his original mask. He, Cheng Yuan, and Jun Linfeng were sitting on the table. Thank God, the two brothers did not dare to sit down, but Zheng Huanlong kindly invited them, and Qin Muchu also motioned for them to sit down, and sat with Luo Hanchao

One side.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Zheng Huanlong, his wife, and Zheng Yi's family all stood up and raised their glasses to thank Qin Muchu and others. Zheng Huanlong said: "The Zheng family's ability to defeat the Golden Wing Sect's conspiracy depends entirely on the heroes here. Come on.

Come! This is a tribute from my family." Everyone stood up and raised their glasses together.

Then, Zheng Huanlong raised a glass to Qin Muchu and said, "Young Master Qin, this is my tribute to you, to thank you for detoxifying me and saving my life! You also saved my brother-in-law!"

Qin Muchu even said: "Wherever, these are what people of our generation should do."

Zheng Huanlong said sincerely: "I know that you will not be short of anything. However, if you have any requests, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

Qin Muchu knew that what Zheng Huanlong said was not polite, but he really didn't want anything. Just when Qin Muchu was about to refuse, Jun Linfeng spoke first: "If that's the case, my nephew will not be polite!"

Qin Muchu and his party got into the carriage and prepared to return to Hangzhou.

Cheng Yuan asked Qin Muchu: "Where is Brother Jun? Why didn't you see him?"

Qin Muchu replied: "I don't know. He seems to be asking for some reward from the Zheng family. Forget it, if he doesn't come, he won't come. Thank God, let's go."

Xie Tian sat in the coachman's seat and responded, raised his whip and whipped it in the air, shouted "drive", and the horse slowly drove out of the back door of Zhengyuan.

"Wait! Brother Qin, wait for me!" Jun Linfeng's voice came from behind the car.

Xie Tian quickly stopped the horse again.

Qin Muchu opened the car curtain and saw Jun Linfeng chasing after him holding a big box.

Jun Linfeng panted and ran to the car and put the box in his hand into the car. As soon as the box was put on the car, the car sank. Cheng Yuan stuck his head out and said: "Brother Jun, just come and see us off. Why do you need to give us such an expensive gift?"

Where’s the gift?”

Unexpectedly, Jun Linfeng sat down in the carriage and gasped: "Who said I want to send you away? I want to go with you! You can go!" The latter sentence was said to Xie Tian.

The carriage headed out again.

Jun Linfeng opened the box and said, "This is what I asked Uncle Zheng for. It may not be valuable to my uncle, but it is extremely valuable to us. Brother Qin, look!"

Qin Muchu and Cheng Yuan both leaned over and saw that what was in the box was the iron chain that once bound Jun Linfeng, a pile of black iron essence!

When Cheng Yuan saw it, he was surprised and said: "The essence of black iron!" He also knew how important black iron is to those who need weapons.

Jun Linfeng said proudly: "Uncle Zheng gave me all the remaining black iron essence after hearing my request."

Qin Muchu said happily: "Really? How many black iron swords can be forged here?"

Jun Linfeng said: "Of course it is true. However, Uncle Zheng has a request. After casting the sword, he must give one to Zheng Yi. These black irons can be used to forge at least nine swords."

After hearing this, Cheng Yuan said, "But, where are we going to forge these black iron swords?"

Qin Muchu also echoed: "Yes, it is difficult for ordinary swordsmiths to forge! By the way, Xie Tian, ​​do you know any famous swordsmiths in the world?"

After hearing this, Xie Tian thought for a moment and replied: "Back to the master, it is rare to find a powerful swordsmith in the world. As far as the old servant knows, the most famous swordsmith is Ximen Quehuo from Jianmen Pass."

But Jun Linfeng interrupted him and said, "There's no need to look for him. There's a master swordsmith right in front of you!" He pointed at himself.

Qin Muchu and Cheng Yuan's eyes almost popped out after hearing this. They asked in unison: "You? Master of Sword Making?"

You know, if you want to become a swordsmith master, you must not only have good qualifications, but also have time to accumulate swordsmith experience. Therefore, most swordsmiths who want to be famous must already be middle-aged. And Jun Linfeng is so young, what do you think?

He doesn't look like a master swordsmith either.

"Okay, I know you won't believe me." Jun Linfeng rolled his eyes and said, "To tell you the truth, my master is Ximen Quehuo from Jianmen Pass! I started learning sword making from my master when I was eight years old.

"

After hearing this, Cheng Yuan looked at Qin Muchu and asked, "Really? Then where did you learn all your martial arts?"

Jun Linfeng replied: "Of course he is my master. Everyone only knows that my master is good at making swords, but they don't know that his swordsmanship is also extremely powerful. How can a swordsmith who doesn't know how to use a sword make good swords?"

Where is the sword?"

Qin Muchu and Cheng Yuan looked at each other again, and then nodded as if they had some understanding.

Qin Muchu asked again: "So, Brother Jun is going back to Jianmen Pass to make swords?"

Jun Linfeng shook his head and said: "No, no, no, this time I am making swords, there is a place I have longed for for a long time. That is - Long - Spring!"

After hearing this, Cheng Yuan said: "Longquan? Why does Brother Jun say he has longed for it for a long time?"

After hearing Cheng Yuan's question, Jun Linfeng did not answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a tragic battle in the land of Wu and Yue. King Gou Jian of Yue was defeated by King Fu Cha of Wu. After suffering a lot,

After suffering the humiliation of losing his country, Gou Jian struggled to find a man - Ou Yezi. He was the founder of my sword-making school. Later, the founder Ou Yezi not only forged the Zhanlu, Chunjun, Shengxie, Juque and

Five precious swords including fish intestines, and he also taught sword-making techniques to the Yue Kingdom. In the end, Gou Jian defeated Fu Cha and suffered a bloody humiliation. And my ancestor Ou Yezi forged swords in Longquan. Therefore, Longquan is where I have always been

The place you yearn for.”

Qin Muchu listened, nodded, and said: "'Don't you see, Kunwu's iron smelting is flying into flames, and the red light and purple gas are impressive. A good worker has been training for several years, and he has forged a sword named Longquan..." This poem by Guo Zhen of the Tang Dynasty

"The Ancient Sword Chapter" was rewarded by the emperor of the dynasty, which made Longquan Sword famous all over the world. It is said that Longquan swords are produced, so we must go and see it. Thank God, let's not go back to Hangzhou now, let's go to Longquan now!

"

Longquan.

Jianchi Lakeside.

The General Ou Yezi Temple houses a statue of the master swordsmith.

Jun Linfeng, Qin Muchu and Cheng Yuan were inside to pay homage to the master swordsmith Ou Yezi. Thankfully, they were sitting in the sword pool pavilion to rest.

Because Ou Yezi forged swords in Longquan, there are many sword-making workshops in Longquan. There are no less than twenty sword-making workshops on the banks of Jianchi Lake.

It is said that money can make ghosts grind. Qin Muchu spent a considerable amount of money to rent a sword-making workshop called Duanyu near Jianchi Pavilion for Jun Linfeng to make swords.

There are only two people in the broken jade workshop, father and son. Everyone calls the father Lao Lu and the son Xiao Lu. Both father and son are tall and powerful, and Lao Lu claims to be sixty, but look at his bronze

His skin looks like that of a man in his fifties. Xiao Lu is also bronzed, but his muscles are bigger than Lao Lu.

The name of the workshop is quite resounding, but the business is very light. Not many people come to Jianchi to forge ironware, but there are more tourists who come to Jianchi to pay homage to the master swordsmith Ou Yezi. When tourists come here, they have to buy one when they return.

They forged swords as souvenirs. Lao Lu and his son were specialized in this kind of business.

The five people who came this time paid a large sum of money to rent their workshop. Lao Lu was very happy. It was equivalent to the money he made from selling swords in half a year. Of course, the father and son were also responsible for the food and tea of ​​these five people.

, when Jun Linfeng forges a sword, he still has to lay hands on it.

As soon as Jun Linfeng entered the house, he poured out a box of black iron essence. These black iron essences made Lao Lu Xiaolu's eyes wide open. In their eyes, these were legendary casting materials.

, I didn’t expect to be able to see it with my own eyes one day.

To make a sword, you must first make steel. The so-called "a hundred times to make steel" shows how much effort it takes to make good steel. The strange thing about the Black Iron Essence is that it itself is extremely pure steel.

, no need to smelt it separately.

Obviously, it remains to be confirmed whether Jun Linfeng is a sword-making master. But his enthusiasm for sword-making can be seen just by looking at how busy he is as soon as he gets to the sword-making furnace.

Jun Linfeng took a small part of the black iron essence and put it into the furnace for forging. After the black iron melted, he poured the molten black iron into a mold of the finished sword. After cooling, it was poured into a mold.

It is a sword embryo. This is the first step in making a sword.

The second step is forging. Put the cast sword embryo into the furnace and heat it red. After it is red, take it out and forge it. After the forging is prolonged, put it into the furnace and heat it red, and then forge it a second time.

When the time comes, the sword embryo must be folded over and then forged...

The third step is to temper the sword, also called quenching. Insert the forged sword into water while it is hot to quickly cool the steel. Through quenching, the forged sword will be sharper. The quenching water is also very critical, Longquan

The water is the "fairy water" for making swords. Some sword-making masters will sprinkle their own blood during the final quenching.

…

In this way, after twenty-six tedious steps of forging, shoveling, grinding, and filing, a good sword can be cast.

During the process of forging the sword, Lao Lu Xiaolu didn't even blink, and Jun Linfeng didn't deliberately hide his sword-making skills. This was an eye-opener for Lao Lu and his son. It will have unexpected benefits for Lao Lu and his son's casting technology in the future.

.

Forging a sword cannot be completed overnight. The so-called "sharpening a sword in ten years" shows how difficult it is to make a sword.

Qin Muchu felt that waiting here was not an option, and the one-month deadline agreed with the Fourth Young Master of Hangzhou was coming soon. Qin Muchu decided to return to Hangzhou first.

Jun Linfeng stayed to forge swords, but Cheng Yuan was also willing to stay.

Qin Muchu has asked the two of them to wear human skin masks, so they don't have to worry about being discovered. Even if they are discovered, it shouldn't be difficult to escape with Cheng Yuan's martial arts.

Before leaving, Qin Muchu passed on the second level of the Qiankun Mind Technique to Jun Linfeng, and then he and Xie Tian returned to Hangzhou.
