Chapter 33: The First Test of the Little Hammer

When the feeling of slowly emerging from the deep water arrived, Wu Xing "looked up" and saw the bright Morning Star and the Nine Star Chain, as if he was in a dark void.

From last night's life-and-death struggle to break through the nine-star chain to the appearance of Wentian, Wu Xing himself actually hasn't had time to take a good look at the little hammer.

The small hammer is suspended there under the starlight, and the unique shape of the "ten" hammer, the whole body is red, and the four hammer heads have mottled orange "rust", which means that it has a grade of nine grades from the beginning of its formation, and at the same time, it has begun to show the momentum of upgrading to eight grades. Xingjun grades are distinguished according to color, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and white, corresponding to nine to one grade.

The hammer surface and handle of the small hammer are simple and unpretentious, and there is no decoration, as if it is an ordinary iron hammer.

"How can you get this?" Wu Xing was worried: "If you have a hand, you can grab the hammer directly." ”

Just when Wu Xing lost his mind, the small hammer suddenly fell down for a distance, and it was not until Wu Xing came back to his senses that the small hammer stopped falling and was suspended there again, bathed in the starlight of the Morning Star and the Nine Stars Chain.

.......

"The star hammer is divided into a sledgehammer and a small hammer, and like the star pen, it can only be controlled by the star monarch himself. Wentian's right hand was slightly downward, and he landed the hammer on the finger of his index finger, and said: "This position is the center of gravity of the hammer, if my fingers do not move, the hammer will not move, this is a state of equilibrium." ”

At this time, the small hammer on Wentian's index finger is tilted at an angle, and the side of the hammer head is naturally upturned; and when Wentian gently rotates the back end of the index finger center of gravity for half a circle to turn the fingertip upward, the hammer head of the small hammer falls naturally into a "knock" action; the index finger is quickly reset, and the small hammer returns to the previous equilibrium state.

.......

Recalling that when Wentian demonstrated the control of the small hammer, the action of the knock just now could only be regarded as an entry-level level, and later Wentian danced the small hammer into a "windmill", and even the complicated and exquisite hammer method can be shown through the small hammer!

“...... This position is the center of gravity of the small hammer, if my fingers do not move, the small hammer will not move, this is a state of equilibrium......" Wu Xing muttered to himself: "It seems that I have to find this 'center of gravity' as well." ”

Wu Xing withdrew from the meditative state, summoned the small hammer, suspended it above his right hand, and said thoughtfully: "Just now I thought that something was out of my mind, and the small hammer suddenly fell some distance. Then I noticed the hammer again, and it stopped. Could it be that in a sense, the force of perception is 'attention', which is simply equivalent to switching between 'looking' or 'not looking'?"

Wu Xing tried to close his eyes, stretched out his index finger, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the small hammer had gone away on its own!

"Since Wentian said that the small hammer has a 'center of gravity', then it must have weight!" Wu Xing scratched his head, inexplicably, summoned the small hammer again, and closed his eyes again.

This time, the results were not any different. The little hammer is gone on its own again!

After trying it for the third time, Wu Xing muttered in disbelief: "The three times I took it by myself....... However, at least one thing in common was the feeling that something like a feather landed on a finger, and then, as soon as I opened my eyes, the hammer was gone. Could it be that that 'feather' is actually a small hammer?!"

"I always had a preconceived idea that the small hammer was an iron hammer and should have fallen hands, but it wasn't actually ....... The weight of the small hammer is neither in pounds nor in two, but in ....... Extremely light, extremely light?"

So, Wu Xing tried a fourth time. With the reference of the previous three failures, this time the pinching was just right, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the small hammer was still there, hanging very close to the index finger.

Xingjun's hands are extremely sharp. At this time, Wu Xing could clearly sense a "feather" hovering on the surface of his index finger!

With a slight twist of the fingers, the hammer rises and falls like a seesaw.

After gradually mastering a little doorway, Wu Xing gently rotated the index finger at the back end of the center of gravity for half a circle to turn the fingertip upward, and the hammer head of the small hammer fell naturally into a "knock" action;

"The center of gravity of the small hammer is actually a 'point' smaller than the eye of the needle. If you add external force to the front and back of this center of gravity, it will make the small hammer make a hammering action. The current external force is naturally the induction force of the fingers. And if you add external force to the left and right of the center of gravity......."

Sure enough, the hammer has a tumbling translation to the left or right.

Wu Xing's spirits were greatly lifted, and he originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase after him, and let the little hammer make a hammer method of shabu, dragging, hanging, smashing, racking, cloud, cover, and so on, but it turned out that he was too much to take it for granted! After more than a dozen attempts in succession, the small hammer hit directly on his fingers and even on the palm and back of his hand every time, and then he went away on his own.

"It seems that the Star Hammer originates from the star power, and it is a higher use of the star power, so it can control the star hammer like a real thing, but once the star hammer touches any part of the hand, it will return to the star sea in the body through the bridge that communicates the star power. Wu Xing said to himself thoughtfully: "As for using the hammer method through a small hammer, it should be directly related to the level of induction. If the foundation is not solid, it is impossible to lift as lightly as Wentian. Hmm, or should I say 'light'?"

In fact, if Wen Tian was willing to give Wu Xing some guidance, he might not need Wu Xing to spend so much time exploring on his own. But now the relationship between Wu Xing and Wentian is more like a simple cooperative relationship, rather than the so-called master-apprentice status. Under this premise, if you want to ask Wentian to guide carefully, let alone ask Tiantian if he is willing or not, Wu Xing estimates that he will not be able to pass his own level, and he begs for teaching and solving his doubts, which is not Wu Xing's style.

Moreover, since ancient times, the debt is the most difficult to measure or repay, and at present, Wu Xing's harvest is far greater than his actual payment, so he can only be cheeky and deceitful.

"If you can find the center of gravity of the small hammer, in the same way, you should be able to find the center of gravity of the first iron billet, right? Maybe you can start 'striking iron'? It's just that controlling the small hammer and the iron billet at the same time is at least equivalent to two uses, and the difficulty must have increased a lot. Wu Xing's brows finally relaxed at this time, and he glanced at the six-round hourglass in the room, there was still half an hour before lunch time, just enough to meditate and meditate, so as to replenish the mental power that was almost consumed by controlling the small hammer just now. As a result, Wu Xing's evaluation of his mental power was that he controlled the small hammer to perform simple beats about thirty times.

Traditional sundials and water clocks are highly susceptible to weather conditions, and they are useless when it comes to rainy and snowy weather. On the Starfall Continent, the "six-wheeled hourglass" is usually used to keep time. Although the name of the six-wheeled hourglass has the word "hourglass", it does not use the amount of quicksand to complete the timekeeping, but uses fine sand as the power to drive a set of precision gear systems to operate, which is a mechanical mode of clock.

........

"This is what you call 'can sleep on horseback?'" Wu Xing glanced at Bagen next to him with a smile, and said jokingly: "This doesn't seem to be difficult, I should be able to do it too." ”

After lunch, Wu Xing and Ba Gen took all the necessary materials and weapons with one person and two horses, left Chenjia Village and Shanmu Village, and went to Baima Town, which was more than 20 miles to the west.

At this time, Bagan was lying on the rope net between the two Northland horses, squinting and dozing, swaying back and forth leisurely as the horses ran, looking at him as if he could really fall asleep at any time. The rope net was fastened to the saddle of the two Northland horses, and if a quilt was added, it was a bed.

"I was 'drunk', and you forgot?" said Bargan, who was powerless to refute the reasoning, "You have found a man who was drunk on a horse and would not fall off his horse and die to show me?"

"After leaving the village, you are much more free and unrestrained!" Wu Xing smiled.

"Lord Xingjun!" said Bagan, who pretended to turn over and "get out of bed" and salute.

"Stop!" Wu Xing simply diverted the topic and asked, "I don't have a tattoo on my neck, this is a very clear loophole, right?

Bargan replied fluently: "Don't worry! Of course, I have thought about this kind of question for a long time. Your family has been a veterinarian for three generations, and since your father attached Zephyr, there have been no tattoos since your generation. ”

"Then what should I do if someone wants to study my 'craft'?" Wu Xing asked, "For example, let me identify poisonous weeds, or treat livestock....... Then reveal your identity, right?"

"When that time comes, you can pretend to be yourself. Bagan said, "As you just said, there are scouts and assassins in the Forest of Steles who want to take your life. It's okay to change to another version now, and the other party can't verify it anyway. ”

"Another version?" Wu Xing shook his head.

"The lord in the south wants to keep Wu Xing in the north forever, a slave for generations, and never turn over.......," Bagen said in a pinched voice, and then said: "Generally speaking, the person who can stop the soldiers of ten thousand families must not be too low in the status of the barbarians, and he will have heard about the affairs of a certain adult in the south. It will be easier for us to win the trust of the other party with the same set of rhetoric. In this way, the previous statement that he lied about being a veterinarian seems reasonable. ”

"Then if the other party is helpful, don't send troops to 'escort' to the camp, how should you deal with it?" Wu Xing's questions seemed endless.

Bagan did not have any impatience, and pretended to be a personal soldier of ten thousand households and said: "What's the matter with sending someone to escort a personal soldier and a veterinarian? This kind of thing is not a secret between the barbarians and the northern countries. ”
