Chapter 62: Smelting
Su Qin saw that Old Man Shi was said to be in a hurry, and replied with a smile: "You are always hiding, let me guess, it's not okay to guess left and right, I can't just talk nonsense." Tell me what the hell is going on. ”
Shi Chang saw that Su Qin was anxious to know what was going on, and he was even more complacent, as if he had encountered a great happy event. He beckoned Su Qin to come over, pressed his ear and said, "I found something called Oolite, which can be used to forge swords!" ”
Su Qin thought it was such a big deal, it turned out that he had found the materials for forging the sword, he straightened up, and said disapprehantly: "I see, what is there to be happy about, let your old man jump up quickly." ”
Seeing that Su Qin didn't care so much, Old Man Shi was so angry that he raised his hand and pointed at him, and said, "You, you kid is really lonely." This kind of black blue stone can make a treasure knife and sword that is no less than purple marble, blowing hair and breaking hair, sharpening iron like clay, it is a treasure that many craftsmen dream of in their lives! ”
Su Qin listened to what Old Man Shi said, and felt that he had studied this Tao all his life, indulged in it, and couldn't extricate himself. Su Qin thought again: "Old Man Shi is so excited, but it is also very rare, it is better to make a surprised and shocked appearance to make him happy." ”
As a result, Su Qin was very surprised and made a very anxious gesture of listening. Sure enough, Old Man Shi was very happy, and told Su Qin the mystery of this in one by one.
It turns out that this kind of black dolis is often accompanied by purple dolomite, all produced in the mountain peaks that once breathed fire, but the purple dolite is often round, scattered on the surface of the peak, and the black lapis is embedded in the rock layer, and it has to wait until the wind, frost, rain and snow are fully eroded, it will reveal its face, so it is more difficult to find.
The sword forged from black lapis is completely comparable to that made of purple dolomite. But the two kinds of blades are two polarities, the sword made of black blue stone is cold, and the purple marble is hot, they are all the magic pen of creation, rare things that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
Shi Chang's eyebrows fluttered, and at the end, he suddenly became serious and said to Su Qin: "Seeing that the corners of your kid's mouth have been foaming recently, and you don't want to have sex with Guishuang woman, you know that you are deeply immersed in the pure yang essence of Ziyunshi. If you don't want to do it, I'm afraid you will be harmed by the purple marble instead. ”
Su Qin didn't care about the signs of his fire, but after listening to Shi Chang's analysis, he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart, and his eyes showed anxiety.
Old Man Shi sighed lightly and said, "To suppress the pure yang true qi in your body, it is not just a matter of spitting out and swallowing with a woman. This black blue stone itself is pure yin. It would be best if it restrained you from absorbing the yang energy of the purple marble. ”
When Su Qin heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Old Man Shi to indicate the location of the black blue stone, so that he could move it back and use it with the purple marble.
Shi Chang shook his head again. said: "Ziyun and Wuqing two stones, if they are completely matched, but they absorb each other's polarity, they are no different from ordinary items. Only by separating and synthesizing the two can we give full play to their respective polarities. ”
Su Qin hesitated, not knowing what to do. He looked at Shi Chang with blank eyes, waiting for him to say a solution.
Old Man Shi pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I'm going to build a furnace in the valley to smelt nearby, can you help me?" ”
Su Qin didn't expect him to have this kind of play, he was very embarrassed, and replied that he hadn't thought about it, and he didn't know if it was feasible.
Shi Chang has made up his mind, very resolute, he thinks that the valley is inaccessible, except for the Guishuang people, few people know that there is a secluded place for smelting swords, and there are wood, clay and snow water in the local area, there are excellent conditions, not to mention that smelting and forging in the origin of black and blue stone is even more natural, so that first-class weapons can be made.
Su Qin looked at Old Man Shi's obsessive and intoxicated demeanor, and knew that it was even more difficult for Lu Dao to reverse his thoughts. It seems that he can only leave together if he stays to build the sword with him. It's just that in this way, it will be delayed for another three months, or even longer, maybe when he returns to the Qin State, Meng Ting has already gone away with that Mo family disciple.
Seeing Su Qin's hesitation, Shi Chang was a little anxious and angry, and said, "If you don't want to, then you can go first and leave Huo Xuan's two relatives behind to help me." ”
Su Qin said: "Let those two guys help you, how can I rest assured?" Since your wish is like this, how dare Su Qin disobey your old man's wishes. ”
Shi Chang became happy again, and he said, "I still pointed to you and me to play chess to relieve my boredom." I don't think you're going to leave me alone, but maybe I'll surprise you in the future. ”
"Then I'll wait for your surprise steadily." Su Qin nodded and replied to him kindly.
The two agreed on the matter, so they returned to the camp of the Guishan people to prepare.
Shi Chang and Su Qin borrowed felt and cooking utensils from the Guishuang people, built a temporary dwelling in the valley, and obtained some good clay from the Guishuang people.
Shi Chang took Su Qin and them to the mountains to mine those black lapis stones, set up a blast furnace, burned pine wood, melted and forged the black lapis over and over again, and burned the sword.
Since Shi Chang entered the production stage, let alone playing chess with Su Qin, he didn't have the heart to eat, he put all his energy into it, concentrated on it, and his body was getting thinner and thinner.
Su Qin saw it in his eyes, he felt very sorry for him, and always deliberately pulled him to play chess and walk, but the old man was very reluctant and always very reluctant.
Su Qin thought to himself: "This time it's good, it's the other way around, it was the old man who forced me in the past, and now I force the old man." ”
The days in the mountains were very hard, so when Huo Xuan's two relatives Shu Zhi and Yan Ning couldn't bear the loneliness, they went to the camp of the Guishuang people to play, as long as they didn't mess around, Su Qin didn't interfere much.
As for Su Qin himself, he would never leave Shi Chang for half a step, always worried about what would happen to him. There were no books to read in the mountains, so Su Qin temporarily set up the innate Taiji schema in the valley, recalled the martial arts mantras taught by Mr. Guigu, pondered the swordsmanship routines, and then practiced them himself, and slowly created a set of swordsmanship, which he himself named "Heavenly Dance".
The so-called "Heavenly Dance Swordsmanship" is to sway with the flow, drive with knots, and travel inside and outside. In the basic "hitting, hitting, kneading, piggybacking, and combining" of the five kinds of sword postures, regardless of the norm, with the situation, retract and release freely, seemingly dazzling dance, in fact, each sword posture implies eight defensive postures, offensive eight styles, a total of sixteen changes.
The reason why Su Qin took the eight styles is also to implicitly combine the eight basic elements and changes contained in the eight trigrams of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui Bagua. He immersed himself in the study of martial arts routines every day, and gradually indulged in them, and did not feel that time was difficult.
