In addition to some polite words, the letter proposed to join forces with the "Evil Dog Gate" to jointly crusade against the Demon Dao "Rich Villa". From Fang Changsheng's wording, it could be seen that he already knew the feud between the "Evil Dog Gate" and the Demon Dao.

This is not surprising, just because after Ma Wuhua died, the "Dongting Gang" and the "Evil Dog Gate" sent all the gang disciples to search for the lifeless old demon and the people in the demon path under his door in Changsha City for several months. Therefore, the head of the "Luohan Sect" was not worried that Hua Bushi would not join forces with him, after all, fighting against the Demon Dao was a matter of mutual benefit.

However, Fang Changsheng only mentioned the joint crusade in the letter, as for the specific way to proceed, he did not mention it, only wrote that the time is ripe to make a contact appointment, and the two sides will make detailed arrangements after meeting, and when to meet, the letter did not say whether to meet.

The terrifying Demon Dao, Hua Bushi knows very well, even the leaders of the Yujing White Dao, the "Luohan Gate" and the "Shaolin Sect", it is not easy to deal with the Demon Dao. Fang Changsheng didn't say anything in the letter, presumably because the "Luohan Gate" was not ready, which also showed that he was cautious.

Just because Fang Changsheng and Hua Bushi were very aware of the danger of this duel, once they failed, not only would the entire sect lose, but they were afraid that they would not even be able to save their lives.

Since everything was uncertain, Hua Bushi should not act rashly at the moment, so he had to wait for Fang Changsheng's news. As for the secret book of "Bone Shrinking Gong", he personally gave it to Ximen Hitomi.

Two days later, another group of people came to Dingfu, but it was the master foundry, the descendant of Ou Yezi, the master of the "Divine Soldier Hall", Ou Shi, who personally took a few blacksmith disciples and came from the helm of the "Evil Dog Gate" in Wuyang City for thousands of miles.

When Ou Shi arrived, Hua Bushi was sitting in the front hall of Ding's Mansion drinking tea. The old blacksmith did not wait for the guard's disciple to tell him, so he strode straight into the door, and when he came to the eldest young master, without saying a word, he took out a long green cloth bag from his bosom, raised his hand and put it on the table.

The cloth bag was very heavy, and only a "bang" sound was heard, and the mahogany table top was also dented into a pit.

Hua Bushi hurriedly got up and saluted, and said, "Ou Shi came all the way, but it was hard!"

Ou Shi said coldly: "What's the hard work of traveling for a few days? It's that this thing has taken my master several months of work, and if I didn't think it was interesting, I wouldn't have bothered to build it!"

This old blacksmith has always been very cold to people, and in the past, when Hua Bushi was his creditor in Wuyang City, the situation was slightly better, but after joining the "Evil Dog Gate", he was even more unkind. Hua Bushi was also accustomed to this, and only said: "Yes, Master Ou, please take a seat!"

Master Ou sat down on the chair loudly.

Hua Bushi reached out to get the green cloth bag on the table, but found that this thing was really not light, and it took a lot of effort to barely get it in his hand. Seeing this, Ou Shi sneered: "At a young age, it is so hard to take something dozens of catties, it is really useless!"

Hua Bushi didn't make a difference, and asked, "Is this the thing I want you to imitate, how can you be so heavy?"

Ou Shi said: "What else is there besides that thing! This thing is made of a mixture of black gold mother and black steel, and the hardness is comparable to the divine blade, of course, it is a little heavier, but it is only forty-three catties." ”

At this time, Hua Bushi had already opened the green cloth wrapped outside, and the contents were revealed, which turned out to be a large musket with a dark gold color and a shiny essence.

The musket was one foot eight inches long, and the shape of the handle and back seat was very similar to the musket that Ximen Hitomi had used and was later destroyed by the iron-masked giant, except that the handle was not a wooden handle, and the whole body was made of metal, so it was no wonder that it was so heavy.

At the front of the musket, it was cast in the shape of a dragon's head, with two sharp horns towering like sharp blades, and the dragon's mouth was wide open, revealing six black holes in the muzzle. Ximen Hitomi's original musket only had three barrels, but this gun has six barrels, which is twice as much.

It turned out that after Hua Bushi won 300 muskets from the hands of the Spanish nobleman Gongora, he took one to Ou Shi to see if he could imitate it.

In terms of smelting and casting alone, Ou Shi can be regarded as a grandmaster, but there are still some delicate spring parts in the musket, and it is not easy to make them. Ou Shi was very interested in getting the musket and agreed to give it a try, so Hua Bushi spent a lot of money to invite several craftsmen who were good at making hidden weapons and experts who were proficient in firearms to serve as helpers for Ou Shi, and found several materials for casting divine blades.

This strange-looking musket was the result of spending tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The forty-three pound weapon was not heavy in the hands of a martial arts master, but Hua Bushi had a hard time holding it, and he had to put it back on the table after only a while. And when the musket was laid flat, the eldest young master saw two seal characters engraved under the curved handle of the gun: "Huo Pan".

"Huopan" is the name given to this gun by Ou Shi.

Hua Bushi looked at it for a while and said, "This gun looks very exquisite, but I don't know how powerful it is to use, and whether it is easy to aim and fire?"

Ou Shi snorted, and suddenly reached out and slapped it on the table, and the "Fire Spear" was shocked to jump up a foot high, and it had fallen into his hand. He raised his hand and raised his gun, and the forty-three pound musket seemed to have nothing in his hand, and he could only hear "bang bang bang...... Bang bang bang "Six times in a row, he has fired six shots in a row!"

The six candles on the menorah by the wall had been broken, and the lead projectile had broken the candles and then hit the brick wall behind the candlestick, making six large holes.

Hua Bushi couldn't help but applaud, and said happily: "It turns out that the power of this musket is much greater than that of Western muskets, and it is rare that Ou Shi has practiced such a good marksmanship, which makes Xiao Ke so admirable that he throws himself to the ground!"

Hearing Hua Bushi's praise, Ou Shi rarely showed a smile and said: "If you don't know how to use a gun, how can you make a haode musket? The center of gravity of this 'fire pan gun' is above the handle of the gun, as long as the user's hand strength is strong enough, it will definitely be used smoothly, these two dragon horns are the crosshairs of this gun, and they have also been carefully calibrated." It was a lot of work to make this gun, and I had never spent so much effort forging any weapon before. ”

Hua Bushi said: "I'm afraid that this kind of musket has never been seen in the world, it is really a unique masterpiece!"

Ou Shi said: "Is it a unique masterpiece? hehe, no matter how haode weapons are, they are just tools for killing, and such masterpieces should not be made too much!"

As he spoke, he reached out and pressed the back of the "musket", the backseat of the musket bounced open, and six metal cylinders the thickness of the thumb slid out and fell to the ground with a "ding-ding-ding" sound. He took six more cylinders out of his pocket and pressed them into the barrel one by one.

In this era, there were no bullets preloaded with gunpowder, and even the most advanced muskets had to be filled with gunpowder in the chamber before putting in the lead bullets, and after firing, the gunpowder residue in the chamber had to be removed and reloaded. After firing several shots in a row, the chamber and barrel of the gun are overheated, and it is necessary to pass a wet cotton cloth into the barrel to cool down, and then wipe dry with a dry cotton cloth before continuing to load ammunition, the whole process is quite cumbersome.

Because of these limitations, it took a lot of time for the musketeer to fire again after a round of fire, and if the enemy approached, the musketeer would never have time to reload.

Ou Shi pressed the six cylinders in, closed the backseat with a flick of his wrist, and said: "It is too troublesome to load ammunition for ordinary muskets, so I came up with this idea, and created this cylinder, which is loaded with copper bullets and gunpowder first, and named it 'Dragon Tongue', and this gun can be fired again as long as the 'Dragon Tongue' is replaced!"

Hua Bushi bent down to pick up the cylinder that Shi had just dropped on the ground, but found that his tentacles were burning, and hurriedly threw it down.

Ou Shi said: "As long as the person using the 'Fire Spear' is fast enough, he can continuously reload the 'Dragon Tongue' and fire, and there is no problem in firing dozens of shots in a few breaths." ”

Hua Bushi said happily: "In this way, the power of this gun has not only doubled, Ou Shi is really a god!"

Ou Shi said: "However, this 'dragon tongue' is made of fine iron, which is not easy to make, and it is more difficult than making an ordinary sword, and once the spring in it is launched, it will be blown up and can no longer be used, so it costs a lot." ”

Hua Bushi said: "Then how much silver is this 'dragon tongue' worth?"

Ou Shi opened the five fingers on one big hand, waved them a few times, and said, "Fifty taels." ”

Fifty taels!

This small cylinder is worth fifty taels, which is several times more expensive than an ordinary sword, and it can only be used once! The six shots fired by Ou Shi just now have already cost as much as three hundred taels of silver, which is simply much more expensive than picking up a big ingot and smashing people!

Seeing that Hua Bushi was a little dumbfounded, Ou Shi smiled and said, "Young Master Hua has money, and he definitely won't care about this bit of silver, right?"

Back then, Ou Shi opened a blacksmith shop in Wuyang City, and was owed silver taels for a long time by this evil young master, and he was worried and anxious but did not dare to open the offense.

The sadness on Hua Bushi's face returned to normal after only a moment, thinking of the power of this gun, even if it cost more, it was worth it. However, he had previously thought about whether to let Ou Shi make more muskets that could be filled with "dragon tongues" and use them for the disciples of the Perak Camp, and their combat power would soon increase greatly, but now he had to dispel this idea.

Calculated at fifty taels of silver, even if this eldest young master really digs up a gold mine, he can't afford to use a lot of "dragon tongue".

Seeing that Hua Bushi was no longer sad, the smile on Ou Shi's face disappeared, and he put the "Fire Spear" on the table with a "bang", and said, "This thing has been made, I came here to see who you want to give it to!"
