Qin Chuan looked at the expression on the blacksmith's face, and said with some confusion: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Hearing Qin Chuan's words, the blacksmith woke up from his contemplation, looked at Qin Chuan, his face showed a complicated look, and then as if he had made up his mind, he muttered in a low voice: "It seems that you and I are destined after all, and all the cause and effect will be borne by me." ”

Qin Chuan was a little confused when he heard the blacksmith's words, and just wanted to ask, only to see the blacksmith put the iron into the furnace, stirred the charcoal fire, and then said to Qin Chuan: "Qin Chuan boy, since you can understand this trick, it means that you are related to our blacksmith, I have a small mantra here, which can greatly improve your iron-making efficiency, and also allow you to quickly master the trick just now, I don't know if you want to learn?" ”

Hearing that the blacksmith had a better way to teach him, Qin Chuan was a little moved in his heart, and just wanted to nod, but he quickly hesitated, there is no free lunch in the world, and he knows this truth. After hesitating for a moment, he looked up at the blacksmith with a smile on his face and asked, "Then do I have to worship you as a teacher before you can tell me?" ”

"No, it's just a small trick, and it's not enough to apprentice, and it's something I got by accident, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." The blacksmith replied nonchalantly.

Hearing that there was no need to apprentice, Qin Chuan was a little puzzled, but soon decided to learn this method. nodded, and then bowed to the blacksmith and said, "Please teach me, but if you ask for something, as long as the kid Qin Chuan can do it, he will definitely go all out, and he has reported the kindness of Mr. today's professor." ”

Hearing Qin Chuan's words, the blacksmith also nodded with satisfaction, although he didn't like these rituals, but he was still very happy to see Qin Chuan doing this, which also showed that Qin Chuan's personality was acceptable.

"Haha, I don't have any requirements now, and even if I do, I can't do it now. Let's talk about it when you have the strength in the future. The blacksmith stretched out his hand and helped Qin Chuan up. Then he said to Qin Chuan: "I'll pass you a mantra first, you memorize it first, and I'll teach you specific movements in a while." ”

Qin Chuan nodded, indicating that he understood. So the blacksmith whispered a mantra to Qin Chuan.

This mantra is not very long, only a few crosses, but the blacksmith asked Qin Chuan to recite it twice, and when he saw that Qin Chuan had recited it word for word, he was relieved.

Although this mantra is not long, everyone has a different understanding, and you have to understand it yourself and understand the meaning of this mantra in practice. But remember, don't say this mantra to anyone. Remember, remember. The blacksmith looked at Qin Chuan with a serious face.

"Well, I'm definitely not going to mention it to the second person." Qin Chuan swore that he would arrive.

Hearing Qin Chuan's assurance, the blacksmith relieved himself, glanced at the iron in the furnace, and after waiting for a while, he took the iron out of the furnace and put it on the stone platform.

"Watch my movements carefully." The blacksmith reminded him, picked up the hammer and smashed it on the iron, a huge sound accompanied by sparks splashing out of the iron, and the blacksmith's body also rotated on the ground, and there was a loud sound, not only that, but the iron on the stone platform seemed to be pulled and automatically flipped over. Another blow and the iron continued to flip. After a dozen strokes, the blacksmith stopped what he was doing, picked up the iron tongs and threw the iron into the furnace.

"How? Do you see it clearly? The blacksmith carried the hammer and looked at Qin Chuan.

After carefully recalling the blacksmith's actions just now, he felt that the blacksmith's movements were somewhat similar to the methods he had come up with, but there were some differences, and as for the differences, Qin Chuan couldn't say.

After informing the blacksmith of his thoughts, the blacksmith nodded and explained to Qin Chuan: "This method I call him the rotary iron-striking method, which is to use the inertia of iron-striking to concentrate the power of the shock on the hammer to achieve the superposition of power, so that the iron pieces that are beaten out are in better condition." So you feel the same place, and that's why. As for the difference, this method focuses on using the feet as the root, the legs as the force, the waist as the axis, and then sending all the power through the arms. At the same time, with the mantra just now, it is naturally a little different from your simple brute force. ”

Hearing the blacksmith's answer, Qin Chuan recalled the blacksmith's movements, and then suddenly realized, sure enough, as he said, although the blacksmith's body was rotating, his feet never left the place every time he rotated, and he stood in the same position every time to exert force.

Seeing Qin Chuan's sudden realization, the blacksmith didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed over the hammer, the meaning was very clear, that is, let Qin Chuan give it a try and see the effect.

Without hesitation, Qin Chuan turned the hammer in the blacksmith's hand, and when the blacksmith put the iron in the furnace on the stone platform, he took a deep breath, picked up the hammer, and struck the iron with a hammer according to the method that the blacksmith handed over to him just now.

Soon, the sound of striking iron came from inside the shop. At first, Qin Chuan's movements were a little rusty, but after a period of adaptation, he became proficient in this method, but he still needed to manually turn the iron, and he couldn't do it to the point of flipping the iron. Even this made Qin Chuan very satisfied.

Subsequently, after Qin Chuan told the blacksmith about the doubts in his heart, the blacksmith angrily kicked Qin Chuan out of the shop and told Qin Chuan that from tomorrow, he would take two pots of wine.

After Qin Chuan agreed with a smile, he replied to the Guogong Mansion.

Back at the Guogong Mansion, Qin Chuan sat behind the desk, thinking about what happened today, from figuring out that method to the blacksmith teaching him the mantra and the method of striking iron, Qin Chuan felt that all this was so unreal.

And what made Qin Chuan feel even more incredible was that since he started striking iron, the blind old man who had to arrive in the middle of every month did not appear, which made Qin Chuan feel empty in his heart. And Wei Ying has never been to Yongcheng since that day, but Che Ying has come once, because of the guard's advance report, Qin Chuan did not go to strike iron that day, and waited for Che Ying in the Guogong Mansion.

Seeing Qin Chuan's sturdy body, Che Ying was very satisfied, and he was able to persevere in this Guogong Mansion that seemed to be a prison, which made him very satisfied, and Qin Chuan told him what had happened recently, of course, he didn't mention anything about the iron.

Che Ying stayed here for a day, during which he taught Qin Chuan's boxing skills, and when he saw Qin Chuan's sensitive reaction and much more powerful punches, he was relieved and also had a trace of distress.

A child under the age of six can do this, and God knows how much effort he puts in. Che Ying thought that Qin Chuan worked so hard just to let the monarch see the results of his efforts, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly had an idea, but he didn't tell Qin Chuan, thinking of giving him a surprise. But what Che Ying didn't expect was precisely because of his momentary kindness, which indirectly led to Qin Chuan's exile to the land of the West.

From that day on, Qin Chuan still went to the blacksmith shop every day, and spent almost the whole day in the blacksmith shop, and the neighbors around the blacksmith shop knew that the blacksmith of the blacksmith shop had accepted an apprentice, so everyone's eyes were on Qin Chuan, and they came to the door to say that there was a matchmaker, a gift giver, and even a direct pull their own daughter, who was about the same age as Qin Chuan, to hang in front of the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith ignored this, and he didn't say anything to himself. And Qin Chuan's approach is very direct, a sentence that the master has not married a wife and has children, how dare an apprentice do such a rude thing, it is better to wait for the master to marry a wife and have children, and discuss these things.

Hearing this, the blacksmith who was drinking squirted out a mouthful of wine, and ran after Qin Chuan angrily for half a street, and after a long time, he left a shoe print on Qin Chuan's buttocks before returning to the shop satisfied.

Time flies like a white horse, more than a month has passed in a hurry, it is winter at this time, the weather has become extremely cold, everyone put on thick cotton clothes to prepare for winter, and Qin Chuan is still wearing single clothes, sweaty standing in front of the stone platform and smashing iron.

A crisp sound came from the piece of iron, and when the blacksmith heard this sound, the blacksmith stopped Qin Chuan, who wanted to continue tapping, and there was a burst of laughter in his mouth.

Hearing the blacksmith's laughter, Qin Chuan looked at the stone platform suspiciously, and saw that the iron was red all over, like a piece of beautiful jade, without a trace of flaws.

"It's finished?" Qin Chuan couldn't believe his eyes.

"Yes, it's done." The blacksmith said with great certainty.

Throwing down the hammer with a bang, Qin Chuan kept jumping up and down the shop, shouting loudly, venting the joy in his heart. God knows how he's been these months.

Seeing Qin Chuan's current appearance, the blacksmith nodded, thinking in his heart, this is the performance that a child should have.

After a long time, Qin Chuan finally suppressed the joy in his heart, walked up to the blacksmith, and respectfully thanked the blacksmith.

"Hurry up and get out, take a day off tomorrow, start the day after tomorrow, start building a long sword for you, the rest is water grinding, it is estimated that it won't take long to build this sword." The blacksmith's words caused Qin Chuan to cheer again, laughed, walked out of the shop, and quickly ran in the direction of the Guogong Mansion.

Watching Qin Chuan leave, the blacksmith leaned against the door, stunned. He remembered his expression when he succeeded in striking iron for the first time, exactly the same as Qin Chuan, but he was kicked on the ass by his teacher, fell and ate shit, and squatted on the ground for a long time.

Reaching out and touching his buttocks, the blacksmith thought of his master, and that time was definitely the happiest time of his life, although he had to be kicked twice by his master every day for no reason.

Thinking of his master, a cold light suddenly shot out of the blacksmith's eyes, but suddenly became a little decadent, as if he had lost all his strength, and muttered to himself: "Master, the apprentice is not filial, and he will not be able to avenge your old man in this life." He turned and walked into the shop, took out a jug of wine, and poured it into his mouth in a big gulp, the wine soaked the collar down his neck, but the blacksmith did not know it, and only drank in large gulps, and inadvertently shed a few tears from the corners of his eyes.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
