About half an hour later, the sound of the hammer of forging slowly stopped, and the villagers also woke up at the end of the hammer, and complained about the sound of Li Tian's hammer, Li Tian touched his head very apologetically and smiled, and after the villagers kept that they would not forge again today, the villagers slowly dispersed in laughter and scolding.

It wasn't until after the villagers left that Li Tian took the forged iron into his hand to watch, only to see that the iron had been forged into a hoe-like shape, and the surface of the iron was hammered out by the hammer, and the hammer pattern was like a blooming flower, which did not affect the beauty of the iron and added a bit of beauty.

Put the iron into the water, let the white mist of the iron in the water, look at Ye Bufan, who was at the mouth of the furnace, and see him standing at the mouth of the furnace with sweat and quietly waiting for his next instructions, he couldn't help grinning: "You are very good." It's okay to stay. He originally thought that Ye Bufan would give up halfway, but Ye Bufan directly expressed his firm determination to learn forging with his actions.

The most important thing in forging is patience and patience, not only to endure the torment of the fire, but also to patiently complete the forging in the torment. If you can't do these two things, then there is no need to learn to black.

When Ye Bufan heard that Li Tian agreed to him to stay and learn forging, his expression became very excited, and he asked excitedly, "Really? Uncle Li." ”

Li Tian laughed and said, "Of course it's true. ”

"Uncle Li, why is your forging hammer method different from before just now?

The two hammer techniques each gave him two very different sensations, the first one gave him a heavy sense of oppression, and this time it brought him a pleasant sense of comfort.

So he was curious about what would be the difference between the two hammer forging tools.

Li Tian didn't expect Ye Bufan to ask him this question so simply, he was stunned for a while, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, I asked a difficult question as soon as I came." ”

Ye Bufan said "hehe", and reached out to touch his head with some embarrassment.

"Hiss" was hurt by the burn on his palm again, took a deep breath of cold air, Ye Bufan stretched his palm in front of his eyes to watch, only to see that the burned palm was now blistered.

"Yes, this is a dew ointment, specially used to treat burns and scalds. Take it and apply it to the wound for a while. Seeing the burns on Ye Bufan's palms, Li Tian took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms and said with a smile: "Our forging masters, I don't know how many times we have to be burned by this fire every day, which especially affects the feel of forging." Therefore, each blacksmith will more or less prepare some dew paste on his body to avoid the wound affecting the forging. ”

Ye Bufan took the dew ointment and applied the burn evenly, and when the dew ointment touched the surface of the wound, it quickly relieved the pain of the wound with a cold feeling.

He bowed to Li Tian and said respectfully, "Uncle Xie Li." ”

Li Tian heard Ye Bufan still call him Uncle Li, and teased: "Stinky boy, still call Uncle Li, don't you want to recognize me as a teacher?"

Ye Bufan let out an "ah", and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How can Fan'er not recognize the teacher, the teacher is above, please accept the disciple's worship." So saying, he was about to kneel on the ground.

Seeing this, Li Tian hurriedly held his hand and said, "Okay, there are not so many rules in my place." ”

Ye Bufan said: "It's a teacher." He smiled slightly in his heart and said secretly: This Li Tian is somewhat similar to his master in personality.

Li Tian looked at Ye Bufan's eyes, his face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Since I have accepted you as a student, then you must firmly remember one sentence, forgers, make the best use of their talents, make good use of things, and prefer lack to abuse." ”

"Forgers, make the best use of their talents, make the best use of things, and prefer lack to abuse. Ye Bufan whispered silently.

Li Tian nodded and said, "Not bad." Forging masters and even mystical masters, every time they forge a tool, whether it is an instrument, a farm tool or even a mystical weapon, they must take out their own 200% attitude and forge seriously, so that each material can play its original role, and even give the material to another height. ”

"Mysterious Weapon, give the material a new height?" Ye Bufan grasped the two most critical points in Li Tian's words, and asked suspiciously: "Teacher, what is a mysterious weapon, and how can ordinary materials give it a new height?"

"Good. Li Tian laughed when he heard Ye Bufan's question, and said happily: "You are very smart and can find these two key places." Let's go into the house, I'll talk to you slowly. ”

Ye Bufan stepped into the house, only to see that the furnishings inside were very simple, the room was only about six zhang, twice as small as ordinary people, a cooking stove was placed next to it and there was a pitch-black kettle, the stone cracks in the walls around the stove could still see the scenery outside, there were all kinds of colorful, different shapes of stones and a very simple wooden bed on the ground, there was a very thin futon stacked on the bed, and there was a lot of dust on the bedding, which looked like it had not been used for a long time.

Two wooden chairs, a long, tattered four-cornered table in the center, on which lay an oil lamp, a jar of wine, and an empty bowl, were nothing else.

It's really too simple, Ye Bufan said secretly. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the dilapidated house in front of him was Li Tian's residence.

Even he originally wanted to make a pot of tea for Li Tian, but found that there was neither a teapot nor tea leaves in the house, so he had no choice but to fill the empty bowl on the table with a bowl of water and hand it to Li Tian, and said respectfully: "Teacher drink saliva." ”

Li Tian took the water and drank it all in one gulp, his originally somewhat tired face became refreshed after drinking the water, and said loudly: "Comfortable." He placed the empty bowl on the table and pointed to the wooden chair beside him: "Sit down." ”

Ye Bufan had just sat down, only to hear Li Tian's words and floated over: "Bufan, do you know the four supreme professions of the mainland?"

"The students only know that there are teachers, and the others don't know. Ye Bufan quickly answered Li Tian's question.

"In addition to teachers, there are also three professions: Xuanfu Master, Xuandan Master and Xuanqi Master, which are listed as the four supreme professions. A trace of inexplicable sadness flashed in the corner of Li Tian's eyes when he said about the Xuan Artifact Master, but it quickly disappeared.

Although it disappeared quickly, Ye Bufan's eyesight was so amazing, he clearly grasped Li Tian's sadness, and said secretly in his heart: Could it be that Master Fei used to be a mystical master?

Ye Bufan asked, "Teacher, what is a mystical master?"

He didn't ask the Xuanfu Master and the Xuandan Master, but directly asked the Xuanqi Master about forging. He doesn't like to learn one thing when he has just learned another thing, which is a waste of time.

Li Tian's eyes showed a touch of nostalgia, and said: "The mystic master and the forging master, to put it bluntly, are actually iron, but the mystic master is above the forging master. ”

After a long time, he continued: "The reason why the mystical master can override the forger is that the forger can only forge ordinary tools, and the tools forged by the mystic master surpass ordinary tools, and they use high-grade materials or low-grade materials in the process of forging, all of which give the instrument a soul in the forging. ”

Ye Bufan said: "Instrument soul?

Li Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." ”

After speaking, he took a long object from the corner of the wall and put it on the table, which was a model of an unfinished forged iron sword: "What do you think is the difference between this tool and other tools?"

Ye Bufan looked at the iron sword model on the table carefully, and didn't find anything different, and was about to raise his head when suddenly, an extremely faint aura passed from the sword.

Is this an illusion? Ye Bufan rubbed his eyes suspiciously, looked at the iron sword again, and suddenly that faint breath passed by again, and this time Ye Bufan finally caught this faint breath. Surprised, he asked, "Teacher, is this?"

"Yes, this is exactly what a weapon does when it has a soul, and a weapon is only a real weapon when it has a soul.

The soul of the mysterious weapon is high and low, and the lowest is the soul of the instrument, and the soul of the instrument starts from the first product and pushes up to the ninth product. And the sword in front of you is a mysterious weapon that has just reached the first grade. The soul of a first-grade mysterious weapon has only one breath, so it is extremely weak, and the higher the grade, the more breath the soul has. ”
