Chapter 190: Bad Favors Return That
Hearing this, Hong Xiaobao scratched his head, but he didn't know what the three thousand six hundred hammers his master just said meant.
Is it the number of times Xie Yunxiao hit just now? Xie Yunxiao, is this boring?
"Jin Shi Powder!" However, Xie Yunxiao's pause was only for a moment, and after the next moment, Wei Tiesheng, who had already prepared, hurriedly took out a bag of things from his arms and carefully sprinkled it on the water stone iron that had been beaten a lot.
After the powder was sprinkled on it, the sound of "dingding" continued to sound.
"This favor can't be repaid......" Hong Xiaobao heard his master say again.
Hearing this, Hong Xiaobao's heart couldn't help but move. He remembered that when Xie Yunxiao took out the water stone iron, his master said that he owed a favor, and after the hammer stopped, he said that it was a favor. However, after the gold dust was sprinkled, this favor was directly repaid......
Hong Xiaobao doesn't know what this gold and stone powder is, and he has never heard of it. To him, the gold and stone powder looked like the powder of gold.
But if this is the case, then why did your master say that? Besides, gold dust is gold dust, so why add a "stone"?
Hong Xiaobao couldn't figure it out, but compared to before, after sprinkling this gold and stone powder, Xie Yunxiao only smashed three hammers and stopped.
At this time, Fang Xinghan's expression was quite happy, but then he sighed a little.
The so-called world has no free lunch, no matter whether there is this sentence in the world, but Fang Xinghan still understands this truth. His own apprentice has taken such a big advantage from others, and it is water, stone, iron, and three thousand six hundred hammers, and even this gold and stone powder always has to be repaid! And this debt may be counted on his head.
Now that Fang Xinghan is called, he always feels that this Xie Yunxiao may have been prepared. You can't refuse!
Hong Xiaobao is his apprentice, and with Jin Shi Powder, the grade of this pair of gauntlets can obviously be upgraded a lot, and even the long sword in his hand cannot be compared. If he refuses now, wouldn't the benefits that his apprentice was about to receive be in vain?
"That's fine. Fang Xinghan's brows stretched slightly: "After all, they are friends who have known each other for so many years, even if they speak directly, they don't care about anything." I'm afraid it's not easy for me to refuse! It's not bad for this favor, it's the same anyway. β
"Master!" Hong Xiaobao couldn't help it after all, he was very curious about what this gold and stone powder was, not to mention looking at his master's appearance, he couldn't help but ask softly: "What is this gold and stone powder?"
"O gold and stone powder, it is the fruit of the land of gold. Fang Xinghan shook his head lightly and said, "The quantity is extremely rare, and there may not be a handful of ten ore veins, and the effect of this gold stone powder is the fusion agent of all refined iron." After mixing this gold and stone powder, in addition to easily shaping and blending the weapon, it can also easily raise the grade of the entire stone iron to a higher level. In other words, if your gauntlet only uses Shuishi Iron and Master Xie's crafting techniques, it will not be much worse than my sword. With the addition of gold and stone powder, my sword is incomparable. β
Fang Xinghan's sword was forged by Xie Yunxiao himself. The name is Hanxing, and it has been in Fang Xinghan's hands for dozens of years. Not to mention even if such a long time has passed. It is still extremely sharp, and with Fang Xinghan's terrifying strength, it is famous in this river and lake.
Whether it's a person or a weapon, if nothing else, for ordinary people, it can be regarded as the pinnacle. It's also admirable.
However, Fang Xinghan's sword was already considered a treasure. The gauntlet with this gold and stone powder is better than his sword after it is cast, but you can imagine what kind of effect this gold and stone powder has!
"From what I know about Sword Casting Villa, I don't dare to say all of this gold and stone powder, I'm afraid it's also a small inventory of Sword Casting Villa! When Xie Yunxiao helped me build the Cold Star Sword, I asked him several times to help me add a trace of gold and stone powder, but he didn't agree. However, on your armour, this piece of water stone and iron alone is a handfulβ"
"Master Xie Zhuang is really atmospheric. Even if Hong Xiaobao doesn't know the specific reason, why can't he see the clues? Except for this pair of gauntlet styles, there is nothing to look at me if I want to thank the owner. I'm afraid you're going to bear this favor. β
"yes. Fang Xinghan sighed: "I just don't know what Master Xie wants me to do, if the trivial matter is based on our relationship, it is enough to open my mouth directly, there is no need to put so much effort into you-pity that I owe such a big favor, but it is you kid who suffers." β
"That's what you said. Hong Xiaobao was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "You are my master, can you still meet me?"
"Yes. Fang Xinghan smiled bitterly: "If I weren't your master, Master Xie wouldn't have done this to you." β
"Hehe, this is still thanks to you, master. β
The voice of the conversation between the master and apprentice was very soft, as if it was the murmur of mosquitoes and flies, but it did not disturb Xie Yunxiao.
After the three hammers passed, Xie Yunxiao watched the little bit of luster left of the gold and stone powder slowly disappear on the water stone iron, and then he exhaled, and his expression was obviously much more relaxed.
Then he threw this piece into the fireplace, and just like that, he used a little bit of deliberately controlled fire to keep this piece of water and iron at all his previous temperature.
Turning his head, Xie Yunxiao glanced at the pair of masters and apprentices who were standing behind him and watching them, and nodded, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
Fang Xinghan responded politely with a smile, but this smile was very meaningful.
Hong Xiaobao followed and saluted Xie Yunxiao, Xie Yunxiao didn't respond, but shook his head lightly at Fang Xinghan, and then turned around.
"Xie Zhuang said that he had nothing to ask for. Fang Xinghan glanced at Hong Xiaobao and said, "Do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it. The corners of Hong Xiaobao's mouth curled slightly and said, "We have to find a way to return this favor." β
"Still?" Fang Xinghan said helplessly: "I want to pay it back, although Master Xie just meant that he didn't want anything." But I think it's just that the time has not yet come! Fang Mou doesn't want to take advantage of others, and if others can't do it when they make a request, it will be a shame. I'd rather he really find me and make him owe me a favor than someone else. β
Hong Xiaobao nodded, no one wants to owe favors, if you can't do what others propose, or don't want to do it. It's hard to refuse when the time comes! Especially a master like Fang Xinghan.
The sound of striking iron, at first listening to this jingling sound is very pleasant. It's like the pre-Qin Yi or the previous musical instrument that Hong Xiaobao saw on the earth before, especially Xie Yunxiao's playing is very rhythmic, and it feels good.
But striking iron is always boring, and it is not pleasant to listen to for a long time. No matter how nice the sound is, I'm afraid I'm tired of it.
Three pieces of water stone iron, Xie Yunxiao beat for a long time. Even if he endured it and didn't leave, Hong Xiaobao was still annoyed.
"I can't go, people have worked hard to forge weapons for themselves. What's the point of leaving? Besides, this is my weapon, so I have to watch it. No, I must find the feeling when I first opened it when I heard Xie Yunxiao's hammer, which is also helpful for me to understand the potential of the Holy Son Academy. β
However, the anxious Hong Xiaobao scratched his ears and cheeks, it was still the same. It's even counterproductive, it's called an irritability.
Looking at Fang Xinghan again, where he stood calmly, it was almost a day after standing, and it was always light and calm.
The gap is like a chasm, and you may be able to cross it easily. Perhaps, the end of the world is just around the corner.
Hong Xiaobao suddenly had a strange thought: "This Xie Yunxiao has been fighting iron all his life, isn't it possible that he won't be annoyed just listening to this voice?" Then Wei Tiesheng is also, according to what Xie Yunxiao said, he has also studied in the Sword Casting Villa for more than ten years. Isn't it annoying?"
Hong Xiaobao felt that both Xie Yunxiao and Wei Tiesheng might be used to this voice. I don't think it will be against my ears anymore. It's like his master Fang Xinghan every time he hears a poem and recites a poem, no matter how many times he repeats it, it will always be a feeling.
So is it a habit? No, but it seems to be a habit.
Thinking like this, Hong Xiaobao suddenly felt that the sound of striking iron was much more pleasant. It's not as crisp as it was at the beginning, but it feels really good.
The sound of the hammer finally stopped, just before Hong Xiaobao became irritable again. As soon as the sound of the hammer disappeared, it really felt like the world was silent, very good, very comfortable-
Three hours have passed since the start of the iron, which is six hours in the essence of the word. In these six hours, Xie Yunxiao finally completed the first step of building the gauntlet, and made three materials.
But that's just the beginning.
"Xiaobao, come and see, are you planning to cast according to this drawing?" Xie Yunxiao took out the drawing in his arms and said to Hong Xiaobao.
"Is it finally going to start?" muttering in his heart, Hong Xiaobao came to Xie Yunxiao but said: "I still have a drawing here, you see, it's much clearer than the one given to you before." β
As he spoke, Hong Xiaobao took out another drawing from his arms. This drawing is very different from the one in Xie Yunxiao's hand. The one at the previous banquet was just a rendering drawn by Hong Xiaobao asked the painter, and what he had in front of him was carefully sketched by the painter. Just for this casting time to come in handy!
"Hey, okay!" Xie Yunxiao nodded and said, "This is much more detailed, with this drawing, even if you build a more complex device, you can understand it at a glance." I didn't think Xiaobao still had this ability!"
"The owner of the village has won the prize. Hong Xiaobao said: "It's just that I dictated it and then asked the artist to draw it." (To be continued.) )
