"So, I was rushed by the senior brother to practice iron."

As soon as these words came out, the other apprentices were shocked.

This...... It may sound a little off, but why do they think they look so powerful?

"Brother Ouyang is really amazingly talented, it seems that the teacher's unique skills are to be learned by you!" An apprentice came back to his senses and said busily.

The other apprentices came back to their senses and complimented Ouyang Ruyu.

Ruyu maintained a shy smile on her face, looked like an honest person, and said extremely modestly: "No, no, there are still many things that the little brother wants to learn from you!"

Don't praise me, how can my little brother be so powerful, I'm embarrassed to keep praising me! ”

"Brother Ouyang is so modest, what we are saying is the truth."

"Brother, you are destined to have a bright future, and you will be prosperous in the future, don't forget to bring your brother a hand!"

"That's it, you work hard, the master is very satisfied with you."

The more you want them not to be complimentary, the more flattering they become.

Ouyang Ruyu's heart was drifting, and for a moment, she felt that she had become a big man.

It's a pity that fantasy is far from reality.

Once she woke up from the dream, she was still the little apprentice who shouted the slogan of the second middle school.

……

A few days after striking iron, Mr. Kezhou went out on business, and it was all up to the apprentice to strike the iron himself.

Without the master here, the apprentices couldn't help but relax.

On the first day, they strictly followed the master's teachings, but as the second day, the senior brother Sun Zhong also went out, and the group of apprentices were completely lazy.

The cause of the incident also started from Ouyang Ruyu couldn't stand shouting the slogan full of the soul of Zhonger - [striking iron, you still need your own stone change].

The next day, seeing that there was no senior brother there, she symbolically shouted a few words, and then never shouted again.

The apprentices who were striking iron around her noticed and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you shout?" ”

Ruyu naturally couldn't say that she felt ashamed to shout this slogan. Shame, start a serious nonsense:

I thought that shouting this slogan would drain the body's strength.

So I want to try not to shout, to see if I can save a little more physical strength to strike iron, whether I can make the time of striking iron, so that the speed of striking iron can be faster! ”

When the two apprentices heard this, they thought it made sense, and they stopped shouting.

Immediately afterwards, other apprentices found out, so the other apprentices went to ask them, and the two apprentices answered with Ouyang Ruyu's words.

One passed on one by one, and in the end, everyone simply stopped shouting, and only went to strike iron in a muffled voice.

If the iron is serious, then there is nothing.

It's just that everyone's minds are floating, their attention is not concentrated enough, and they are thinking about other things while striking iron.

Next, the original uniform frequency of striking iron is gone, and everyone plays their own.

Then, something happened.

"Hurry up, hurry up, why is this sword on fire, extinguish the fire!"

The apprentice who struck iron was thinking about something, and he hadn't struck iron for a while, so he didn't even know that his sword was on fire.

The fire was blown by the wind and burned to another apprentice, who felt that something was wrong and turned his head to see that it was on fire.

"Water, where is the water, go get water!" I don't know who shouted in a panic, and the other apprentices turned around to fetch water.

Ouyang Ruyu frowned, and said loudly: "It's too late to fetch water, you guys hurry up and take the sword out of the iron furnace!"

If the sword stays in the furnace for too long, it will catch fire like this sword! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she took a step forward, quickly grabbed the burning sword from the iron furnace, and threw it on the ground with a "clang"!

The fire took advantage of the wind and jumped to the ground.

The other apprentices were so frightened that they took a few steps back.

Only Ouyang Ruyu was not afraid at all, squatted down and quickly dug up some soil, and threw it at the long sword.

The apprentices came to their senses and hurriedly dug up the soil and threw it over.

In a few moments, the fire of the long sword was extinguished.

The problem is solved, and everyone continues to strike iron.

However, after a while, something unexpected happened.

With a "click", a sword embryo suddenly broke into several pieces when it was picked up, and smashed on the apprentice's foot, making people cry out in pain.

"Why did this sword embryo break when it was beaten, could it be that it was made of inferior iron?" The apprentice complained.

Another apprentice was dissatisfied, "What do you say, the iron provided by my family is pure iron!"

It is specially used by the imperial court for good soldiers, and it will definitely not be mixed with inferior goods! ”

The apprentice muttered, "Who knows, shoddy is a common trick of your merchants." ”

"You-"

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise!"

Ouyang Ruyu spoke, squatted down and looked at the sword on the ground carefully, and asked, "As soon as your sword was taken out from the high temperature, it was drenched with water, right?" ”

The apprentice was stunned, "Yes, but I used to do this without a problem, and the sword embryo won't break." ”

"That's because your sword embryo hasn't been beaten to the point of being tempered this time." Ruyu pointed out the problem to the point.

"This sword embryo is much rougher than we used to, and it can't withstand the extreme environment of heat and cold, so it's brittle."

She said, "You can fight carefully and seriously." ”

The apprentice was a little ashamed by her gaze, and lowered his head.

"Oops, my hands are blistered, they hurt!"

"Oops, my waist seems to be a little twisted."

"Oh, why is this rough handshake so hot!"

……

In the past, when the master was there, he had not seen so many situations in the apprentices, but this time he was not there, and every apprentice found that striking iron was not as easy as he imagined.

The apprentice, who thought he had learned the art of striking iron, was even more ashamed.

They studied for several months, and some even studied for a year, but they were not as good as the Ouyang brothers who had just arrived.

Horror, horror!

Is this the legendary talent?

On the other side, Ke Zhou and Sun Zhong stood in a corner, observing the performance of this group of people.

Sun Zhong looked at it for a while and said, "Master, among these apprentices, I didn't expect that the most calm heart was actually Junior Brother Ouyang. ”

Kezhou was silent.

They said that they had something to do, but in fact, they had been secretly observing the performance of each apprentice for the past few days, and wanted to choose someone who could take over Sun Zhong's position.

Sun Zhong said: "In the near future, I will set off for Penglai Immortal Island to explore the ruins on the Immortal Mountain.

can't always be by the master's side, or the candidate for this big disciple will fall on Brother Ouyang. ”

Ke Zhou slowly spoke: "This time, Emperor Cheng has made up his mind, and if he doesn't find the real Penglai Immortal Mountain, he will definitely not stop there."

I'm afraid that there will be another burst of misery, are you sure you want to find Penglai Immortal Island? ”

Sun Zhong's expression was solemn, and he nodded: "It is rumored that there are all kinds of treasures on the Immortal Mountain, and my brother has been trapped in Gu poison for a long time, and he will have attacks every year.

Seeing him in such pain, I couldn't bear it, and decided to go to Penglai Immortal Island to find out the news of the antidote. ”
