Chapter Forty-Eight: Forging the Divine Soldier
That night, Liu Yi and Zhao Yun stayed in the house honestly according to Xu Gang's instructions, and today they also learned this person's quirks, but they can't offend him, otherwise their weapons will be gone, and after dinner, the two talked for a while and then rested, and they didn't say anything all night.
The next morning, the two of them just got up, Xu Gang had already sent someone to invite, and after a little washing, he followed the family to the house where the explosion occurred yesterday, this house occupies a large area, but it is extremely spacious, and there are still many traces of smoke and fire on the wall.
"I wonder when Master Xu Zhuang is going to start building weapons?" met Xu Gang first, Liu Yi was unceremonious, and now he probably figured out the other party's temper, the more straightforward the better.
"Right now! Come on, go and clean up the house, this meteorite requires a lot of firepower to smelt, I'm afraid that the wind blower is not strong enough, see that your brothers are powerful, I don't know if you can help me. Xu Gang is very simple, his vision is not bad, Liu Yi and Zhao Yun's body appearance he knew at first sight that he was a warrior, but it was just right for the ancient style.
"This is easy to do, we are powerful people, Master Xu Zhuang can dial the ancient style of the way a little." Liu Yi said in his heart that you are quite good at pulling the f, but what Xu Gang said is also right, if you want a high-temperature furnace fire, it must be very large, and the rapid addition of fresh air is undoubtedly a must, which has great requirements for the power of the person who pulls the bellows, but fortunately, his strength is infinite, and Zilong is not weak.
"That's very good, let Xu go and prepare first." Xu Gang turned around and entered the inner room after speaking, a group of Zhuang Ding also carried a few large baskets of charcoal to follow in, just looking at the color Liu Yi knew that this was the best charcoal, generally only the official eunuchs can use it, and their own winter heating is also like this, just these large baskets of fine charcoal are enough for ordinary people to eat for a year, and they are worth a lot of money.
"Zilong, are you good at this wind blowing thing?" Liu Yi stabbed Zhao Yun and asked.
"Big brother, rest assured, when Yun traveled with his master, he also saw craftsmen making farm tools, and it shouldn't be much different from this, this trip to the eldest brother is all for the second brother and the younger brother, and he should make his own efforts!" Zhao Yun replied that he was very grateful to Liu Yi for this heart.
"One world, two brothers, you still tell me this, Zilong, you are good at everything, but the etiquette is too sufficient, and you will not be affectionate through it, and you will definitely not say this if you change Xingba, besides, you can compare to me in terms of strength? I'm a lot more out of the effort. Liu Yi said with a smile.
"What the eldest brother said, the younger brother wrote it down." Speaking of strength, Liu Yi is indeed talented, Xu is the first among the three brothers, Zhao Yun knows it very well, and he is talking at the moment.
After a while, Xu Gang changed his clothes and walked out, and led the two into the big house to the place where he forged his blades. Liu Yi took a closer look, only to see a huge copper tripod placed in the middle of the room, and there were several iron pipes connected to it, Liu Yi was a little strange, walked out along the iron pipe, and saw that the end of the iron pipe was actually inserted in the mire outside the house, then Liu Yi reacted.
"Damn, it seems that the ancients were really smart, and they used natural gas so early, this gas has a very high combustion value, and of course the temperature produced is high, no wonder the weapon built by Xu Gang is famous all over the world, in addition to his craftsmanship, I am afraid that he has also got a lot of help from this swamp pond."
"I'm afraid it will take about two days to succeed in this forging, you can take turns to rest, and the person who blows the wind also needs to be replaced, and the fire will last a lifetime, this room is blazing, and you must wear Xu's special clothes to endure it." Xu Gang said and brought a few thick cloth clothes for the two of them to wear.
Zhao Yun took the clothes, only to feel that his hands were extremely heavy, and he didn't know what kind of fabric it was, so he tried to put it on according to what Xu Gang said, covering his whole body tightly, and even had a hood, which could only be used later, to protect the skin of his face. Liu Yi thought it was asbestos at first, but after looking at it for a long time, he felt that it was wrong, and finally gave up exploring, anyway, this dress must have the effect of heat insulation.
Didn't wait for Liu Yi to dress, Xu Gang began to teach him the method of manipulating the box, many things seem easy, but there are a lot of subtle skills in the real operation, at the beginning Liu Yiguang tried a few times with brute force only felt that the physical exertion was extremely great, not to mention two days, even two hours could not support it, fortunately, there was also Xu Gang, a famous teacher, but half an hour of effort, this bellows has been pulled by Liu Yi's tiger and tiger, and the family on the side is shocked, and Xu Gang is secretly happy at the same time as surprise, In this way, the fire temperature can be greatly improved, and this time there will be a high-quality product.
"As soon as the fire is up, you start, slowly blow the wind according to Xu's instructions, it will slowly speed you up, and call your brother in time to replace you when you can't hold on." After Liu Yi became proficient, Xu Gang asked him to rest for a while to put on his clothes, and he came to the copper furnace to tell him, Liu Yi nodded to himself.
"It's going to be a fire soon, remember not to disturb Xu with the fire, everything is at my command, this meteorite is really an extraordinary thing, and there is no room for distraction when forging." Xu Gang opened the patch on the iron pipe, the bottom layer of the copper tripod was already covered with a thick layer of fine carbon, a little fire will rise, Liu Yi began to follow Xu Gang's order, pull the bellows, the temperature in the house also increased suddenly, after the forging began, the family members also retreated.
The most difficult thing in this forging is to smelt this meteoric iron, Liu Yi and Zhao Yun take turns to pull the bellows, but even with Liu Yi's physical strength, it can only support about three hours at most, and Zhao Yun is even less, and when he wears this thick cloth later, he can also feel a heat wave and breathe, but the two of them insisted hard to forge the blade, and they did not refine the meteorite iron until the color of the flame in the ding turned orange, and it was the evening of the second day.
After the refining of meteoric iron, Xu Gang arranged for the two of them to go out to rest, called a few disciples to come in and take over, and then began to officially build weapons, the two of them pulled down the bellows for the past two days, they were soft as crisp, and they lay down on the spot when they got out of the forging room, only to hear the sound of clanging knocks, Liu Yi fell asleep after a while, he did not go back to the room because he wanted to see Master Xu's finished product for the first time.
"Big brother, wake up, it seems that the sound is about to end." Liu Yi sat up when he heard this, it was Zhao Yun who called him, saw that the sky was already shining, and hurriedly put on his cloth clothes and entered the inner room.
Entering the forging room, and then seeing that the two blades in Dingzhong also had the same appearance, they were the same as what they had painted, Liu Yi's heart immediately rose with excitement, and then Zilong was also full of excitement, at this time Xu Gang's disciples were still beating, and he was carefully observing by the hearth, the only strange thing was that Master Xu's clothes were indeed half-open-minded, as if he didn't care about the high temperature in the furnace.
"The time has come, do it!" Xu Gang suddenly shouted, and the aftermath lingered.
Immediately, a disciple stepped forward with a sharp knife with a cow ear, waved his hand and slashed on Xu Gang's chest, and a stream of blood sprayed out, until the top of the Dingnei weapon, "boom", white smoke rose, Xu Gang also picked up the iron hammer regardless of the wound on his chest, and stepped forward, at this time, the echo of the iron hammer hitting the weapon was like a dragon's roar, and it reverberated in the ear. Liu Yi praised it in his heart, back then, the cadre Mo Ye threw himself into the furnace for refining the peerless divine soldier, and now Master Xu threw blood, which has the style of the ancients.
Everyone in the room is paying attention to Xu Gang's forging and percussion, the hammer rises and falls from time to time, and the sparks splash from time to time, Xu Gang's chest is still bleeding, but the hand holding the hammer is extremely stable, and the frequency is also fixed.
"It's done, it's done!!" Xu Gang shouted excitedly for a while, at this time he was like a child who got his favorite toy, and that kind of happiness was pure and enviable.
