Towering Zhongyue, Kuiwei Song Mountain.

In the late spring of March, the pine forests in the mountains are verdant. The mountain wind blew and whistled. Light as flowing water, fierce death waves roar, endless charm.

Songshan is bounded by the Shaomu River, the east is the Tai Chamber, the west is called the Shao Chamber, there are 72 peaks of the sun, the young sun, the bright moon and the jade pillar.

Among them, there are 36 peaks in Taimur Mountain, the rock curtains are verdant and verdant, and the peak walls are surrounded and towering, just like the posture of hibiscus. Taimur Mountain, according to legend, is the first wife of King Yu, the place where Tu Shan was born Xia Qi, so there is a temple of Qimu under the mountain. room, wife also, so it has the name of the room.

The main peak is the extreme peak, which is named after the "Extreme in the Sky" in the "Book of Poetry - Songgao".

Climb the extreme peak, there is a small room in the west, and there is a mountain arch in the south. There is Yingshui in the east, and the big river flows in the north, which has the spirit of 'seeing the mountains at a glance'.

Between the mountain peaks, the clouds are changing rapidly and are beautiful.

Therefore, there are poems in later generations that praise and say: the thirty-six peaks are like a bun, and pedestrians come and go comfortably. The white clouds suddenly closed, and they were all in the void.

Twenty-eight words are enough to describe the beauty of the Tai Room and the mood of visitors.

Located in the Taimur Mountains, in a small valley, Yanhu is shirtless and is stacking a lance head. The furnace was blazing, Li Yanqing squatted next to the bellows, mustered up his strength, and kept pushing and pulling. Huh-huh-huh...... The sound echoed in the valley, like the roar of a cow, echoing in the mountains.

Clang!

The Tiger Wheel hammered against the blade of the lance, making a strange sound.

It is different from the ordinary forging time, which is unique and crisp, but it is slightly stuffy.

Yan Hu followed, using a huge iron tongs to clamp the head of the lance and put it into the turbid aquatic plants. The sound of sizzling continued, and a white air rose to the sky, accompanied by a pungent smell. After a while, Yan Hu picked up his lance and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"It's done!"

He shouted, and then said to Li Yanqing: "The next thing is polishing, which is estimated to take six months." But this matter has nothing to do with you, if it is handed over to you to polish, I am afraid that it will waste my three years of hard work. Go and fetch the agarwood incense from the house, I'll be useful later. ”

Li Yanqing squatted aside, looking at the black lance with curiosity.

After the first stack of lances is successfully played, half of the process is basically completed. However, Li Yanqing finally understood why this horse lance would be replaced by a spear in later generations. The forging process is too complicated and cumbersome. If there is a difference in one step, the whole lance will be scrapped.

A normal horse lance is about thirty to fifty catties.

And like the horse lance in front of him, the head of the lance alone weighs sixty-two catties. If it is combined with a special lance, the whole horse lance is one hundred and forty-six pounds. Such a heavy weapon, ordinary people don't say to use it, even if it is dancing, it will feel very difficult.

Fortunately, in the past three years, Yanqing's guidance and health preservation techniques have tended to be successful.

According to Sun Simiao, he can be regarded as having completed the foundation building stage. Next is the small three passes, the big three passes, and what are the cultivation terms of feathering and ascending immortals. Li Yanqing didn't plan to cultivate the truth and become an immortal, for ordinary people, it was enough to cultivate the foundation of the truth.

Today's Li Yanqing is about eight feet two inches tall, almost 186-188 centimeters.

Yanhu said that his body type development is basically like this, and it is unlikely that he will continue to grow. But for Li Yanqing, such a size is enough. If he grows taller, he may not be able to accept it. It's just that although he has a head, his body is slightly thin, which makes him look very thin. But Hugh looked at this thin and thin body, but there was a strong power.

One hundred and forty-six pounds of horse lance is just right for Li Yanqing.

He took out a lance about a foot and a foot long from the room, as thick as a child's arm. The outside is wrapped in a layer of silver wire, which firmly fits on the mallet and is integrated. The tentacles are smooth and textured. If you don't know in advance, you may even think that it is made of pig iron.

Generally speaking, the stem of the horse lance is mostly made of hardwoods such as oak wood.

But the lance in Yanqing's hand is not a Zhemu.

Yan Hu took the lance and turned it in his hand, exhaling and making a loud noise. At the same time, with the sound of sticks, there was a faint aroma that seemed like musk deer and orchid and non-musk. Looking at the lance in his hand with extremely gentle eyes, Yan Hu sighed softly.

"Uncle, is this lance made of fragrant wood?"

Yan Hu smiled and nodded, "Generally speaking, fragrant wood is not suitable for making lances. However, this fragrant wood is not another fragrant wood. Twenty years ago, I was obsessed with lance making and used to look around for materials for making lance. At first, I also wanted to look for high-quality oak wood, but by chance, I was introduced by a friend and found this agarwood known as 'ironwood' in the poor mountains and bad waters of Lingnan.

You don't believe it, and I didn't think of it at first, so I wanted to use it to make a lance.

Later, it was my friend who persuaded me to finally decide to use it to make a horse lance. I took their ancestral recipe and soaked it in potion for three years, so that it could not be shaken by a knife or an axe. Later, I became a monk in Shaolin and learned a method of winding silk. You see, this lance is only one zhang and two feet long, but I used it for three years to tie this silver wire properly.

Combined with its original weight, it is eighty-four pounds. Even if it collides with pig iron, it doesn't want to lose half of it.

Before I became a monk, I had a wish to make a treasure lance that was unparalleled in the world. It took 20 years to become a monk before he fulfilled this ambition. Jade Baby, this will be the last lance I will make in my life. When it is born, you will know its might. ”

In Yan Hu's mouth, this horse lance seems to have life.

Three years ago, Yanhu suddenly found Li Yanqing, touched the bones of his hand for him, and then after inspecting his martial arts in detail, he told him to make a horse lance for him.

As the last contemporary master of spear making, the horse lance made by Yanhu can be described as hard to find.

Li Yanqing originally wanted to let Yanhu build a horse lance for him. Yan Hu took the initiative to ask, and he naturally agreed.

Unexpectedly, once this horse lance was built, it would take three whole years.

Material selection, site selection, water selection, iron furnace manufacturing, mold ......

Every item is sloppy, which makes Li Yanqing feel annoyed. However, after three years of waiting, the horse lance will finally be born. Although it will take half a year to wait, it is better than before, and there is no deadline. However, from Yanhu's words, Li Yanqing tasted a different taste.

"Uncle, that friend of yours is a woman?"

Yan Hu was stunned, and his dark face showed a rare hint of surprise.

He sighed, nodded lightly, and said, "You kid, you are really smart...... You guessed right, she is indeed a woman, and she is not a daughter of the Han family, but a Lingnan bureaucrat. Twenty years ago, I fell in love with her and got married. Hehe, don't look at me, I'm different from you, I have no merit, no background, even if I am famous, I am just a five-grade craftsman.

Changsun Sheng looked up to me and called me a brother; If you look down on me, you will call me by my name.

Later, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter for me. It's just that I received news from your teacher, Changsun Sheng, that the imperial court has discovered your father's identity and intends to eradicate Yanjia Village. When I got the news, I hurriedly entrusted her mother and son to a friend to take care of, and then hurried back to Yanjia Village. I thought I could save your family, but I didn't think about it...... Later, because of my identity, I couldn't go to that friend anymore. Coupled with the fact that I have no news from you, I became disheartened and became a monk. Now that I think about it, I'm sorry for her mother and son......"

Yanhu, and a daughter?

This is the first time I have heard of it, and it really surprised Li Yanqing.

"And then?"

"Since then, I have been staying at the Shaolin Temple and have had very little contact with the outside world. If it weren't for you, I might still be practicing martial arts in the temple now. ”

"Uncle, you should go and visit your aunt.

Even if your aunt is gone, you should at least go back to your sister. I miss her alone, maybe now, I miss you. ”

"Should I go find it?"

Yan Hu was a little moved, "But I'm a monk now, even if I find her, what can I do?" ”

"A monk can also be vulgar." Li Yanqing persuaded: "Even if you don't want to return to the vulgar, I can take care of her if you find her, it's better than her alone, lonely." Uncle, you abandoned them back then, and you could explain it as a last resort, but if you don't go to her now, I'm afraid you won't be able to talk about it. Why don't you tell me about that friend, and maybe I can help. ”

"Oh...... His name is Feng An. ”

Feng An? It's a familiar name.

"That guy was originally the son of the Northern Zhou Shilong Taishou Feng Servant, and the grandson of the Lady of Lingnan Guo.

I promised him that I would make a good lance for him...... It was only later that I hid in the temple and remained incognito, and I didn't know his situation. ”

Li Yanqing's eyes widened and he looked at Yan Hu.

"Uncle, you can't be talking about the Feng Ang of General Zuo Wuwei."

"He's already made General Zuo Wuwei?"

"If Mrs. Chengjing doesn't have two grandsons who are both named Feng An, then the Feng Ang you are talking about must be General Zuo Wuwei, and the current Hanyang guards Feng An."

"That's probably it...... So, when I've finished it, I'll go to him. ”

Yan Hu's spirits perked up, and his eyes flashed with hope.

"Then you can also help me pay more attention, so that when I go to him half a year later, I will be in vain." After he finished speaking, he buckled the spear stem and the lance head together, and then found a dozen iron rings to stabilize the lance head.

Li Yanqing knew that this lance had nothing to do with him for the time being.

So he stood up and said, "Uncle, then I'll go back to Gong County early tomorrow morning...... Do you need anything else on your side? I'll ask someone to piggyback on it. ”

"Oh, wait a minute, I'll make a list.

After you get it together, send it to the Shaolin Temple. I'll take the time to pick it up, so you don't have to worry about the rest. In the past six months, there is nothing to come to me, and I have no time to pay attention. Also, write a letter to your old man, tell him that you will be crowned, and ask him to come up with a good 'name'. ”

According to the custom of the ancients, after the crown, there should be a table word.

That is, what is the surname, what is the first name, what is the word. After having the word "table", it marks the official sincerity. Generally speaking, this form is mostly given by elders, such as parents or teachers. Li Xiaoji is not only Li Yanqing's biological father, but also his enlightenment teacher, and he has an unshirkable responsibility.

Yanhu also knew the news of Li Xiaoji, although he still had a grudge against him, but it also weakened a lot.

After all, Yanqing is growing up day by day.

Sooner or later, he will return to his ancestors. Could it be that when the time comes, let him be caught between himself and Lee Hyo-gi? My sister only has such a child, Yanhu really can't bear it, and Li Yanqing is in a dilemma. Therefore, although he has no intention of reconciliation on the surface, secretly, he has begun to loosen.

Li Yanqing smiled, "I know!" ”

He walked towards the hut, but heard Yanhu shout: "Yuwa'er, the lance is said, you need to leave your name."

Think about what to name this lance in the evening. When I have polished it, I will engrave it together...... Come up with a good name. ”

Li Yanqing paused and blurted out: "Since it is made of agarwood, let's change it to agarwood." ”

"Agarwood lance?"

Yan Hu raised his head, glanced at Yan Qing, lowered his head again, and fiddled with the parts of the horse lance.

The mountain breeze swept by, rolled up, and the cold incense.
