Chapter 15: The Forge and the Occultist (4)
-- The third watch! There will be another shift in the evening--
............
............
In the early morning of the second day, Ye Bufan got up very early today, and after having breakfast at home, he ran to Litian's blacksmith shop and saw that he hadn't gotten up yet, so he made breakfast for him and left
When Li Tian woke up in a daze, he rubbed his temples, got up with hazy eyes, and looked into the house.
"Hmm, is this?" Li Tian rubbed his eyes in disbelief, only to see that the stones that had been placed in the house were now neatly arranged on the ground, and the dirty ground had also been cleaned up, and a few dishes on the wooden table on the side were still warm with white mist floating and exuding bursts of fragrance.
Thinking that there were few people willing to come to his house except Ye Bufan, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Tian's mouth, and he quickly finished the meal.
Thinking of yesterday's drunkenness, I had no impression of what happened after yesterday's drunkenness, and couldn't help but shake my head with a wry smile: "I was careless yesterday, I didn't want to drink, but for some reason after saying those words to Bufan, I suddenly couldn't control myself, and I don't know if I said anything after I was drunk." β
Walking out of the door, Li Tian lit the fire in the iron furnace, did not rush to strike the iron, and stood aside quietly waiting for Ye Bufan's arrival.
And at this moment, Ye Bufan was lying quietly in front of Su Jingxin's grave, since he knew where his mother's grave was, as long as he had time, he would come here to stay for a while before leaving.
looked at the sky and muttered, "It's not too early, the teacher should get up." After getting up and bowing respectfully to Su Jingxin's tombstone, he cleaned up the weeds on his body and walked towards the road back to Fengling Village.
Fengling Village is like spring all year round, the grain and vegetables grow fresh and tender, verdant and dripping, and the fresh green grain and vegetables along the way have formed a unique scenery in Fengling Village.
On the road, you will often see a few ox carts transporting vegetables to the city to sell.
When they saw Ye Bufan, everyone who knew him would smile and say hello, and those who didn't know him would nod their heads.
This is a simple and natural village, Ye Bufan had never felt so much warmth in his previous life, and in this life he finally made up for these missing emotions.
Soon, Ye Bufan walked to Li Tian's blacksmith shop, looked at Li Tian who was standing aside with his eyes closed, with a touch of apology on his face, and said, "I'm sorry teacher, I'm late." β
Li Tian opened his eyes and said lightly: "Let's start working, I will teach you how to strike iron today." β
Ye Bufan said: "Yes, teacher." β
Li Tian took out a square and very thick piece of black iron from the side, handed it to Ye Bufan and said, "Take it, your task today is to beat only two-thirds of this piece of iron." β
Ye Bufan took the piece of iron, his hand sank slightly, and he felt it, although the piece of iron was not big, it weighed sixty catties.
After burning the iron until it was red, the Nine Dragons Trick quietly ran in his body, he squatted and bent his waist, raised the forging hammer with both hands, his eyes were condensed, his calf belt was twisted with his waist, and the forging hammer in his hand slammed into the iron.
Bang β
Unlike what he imagined, the iron was smashed by the forging hammer and flew to the ground on the side, Ye Bufan looked at the iron that fell to the ground, and he didn't know what he was thinking for a while.
What he didn't know was that the moment he picked up the forging hammer, Li Tian's eyes suddenly froze, and he secretly said in surprise: Innate divine power?
You must know that his forging hammer is not an ordinary forging hammer, but a mysterious hammer, and it is a four-grade mysterious hammer, named: Ten Thousand Forging Hammer. This is the hammer he forged by himself in his early years, although it looks the same size as the ordinary forging hammer, but the hammer weighs one hundred and twenty pounds, the ordinary forging hammer only needs more than forty pounds, and the ten thousand forging hammer is about seventy pounds heavier than the ordinary forging hammer.
A sledgehammer weighing one hundred and twenty pounds, let alone a five-year-old child, even a ten-year-old child would not be able to lift it at all, let alone lift it for forging, but Ye Bufan lifted it, and it seemed to be very relaxed, and he seemed to be at ease.
The hammer he smashed just now, although the force was not allowed to knock the iron out of the air, but in that hammer, he could see that this hammer was full of power. And there is a faint hammer mark left on the iron, which would not have been found at all if it had not been immersed in forging for many years.
After a long time, Ye Bufan picked up the iron on the ground with iron tongs and put it in the fire to smelt, looked at Li Tian in confusion, and asked, "Teacher, why did my hammer directly knock the iron out just now?"
Li Tian put away his mind, took the iron tongs from Ye Bufan's hand, clamped the iron block, picked up another forging hammer from the side, and said lightly: "Look at it." β
Li Tian suddenly took a deep breath, his eyes appeared the same look as when he was forging a few days ago, Ye Bufan was shocked, his eyes stared at Li Tian's movements, and said secretly: "Is this the hammer method of that day?" The hammer method of that day brought him an indelible impression, but he did not write down the details, this time he would definitely not let go of any details of this hammer method.
I saw Li Tian raise the forging hammer above his head with his right hand, and slid his left foot forward and his right foot backwards one step, and there was a strange twist in the waist belt and body.
Suddenly, Li Tian's right calf bent and squatted, and with a "drink-" in his mouth, the calf of his right foot collapsed like a bowstring, and his waist once again drove his body to twist back, and the forging hammer in his right hand slammed into the iron with a whistling sound.
Boom β
When the hammer and the iron collide together, the iron flies high under the blow of the hammer, making a deafening sound and falling gently.
Seeing the iron falling, Li Tian put the forging hammer aside, clapped his palms, looked at Ye Bufan and said, "Do you see clearly?"
Ye Bufan woke up from the shock, looked at the iron block on the iron furnace, and was shocked to find that the iron block was only smashed by Li Tian, and the degree that was visible to the naked eye had shrunk a little.
"Teacher, what kind of hammer method is this, and how do you not knock the iron into the air?" Ye Bufan asked in surprise, he clearly felt the fierceness of this hammer method just now, and when he hit the iron, he didn't knock the iron out of the air, but smashed it into the air.
Li Tian said with a smile: "This is called the Heavenly Thunder Hammer Method, the Heavenly Thunder Hammer Method has a total of seventy-two hammers, also known as the Heavenly Thunder Seventy-two Hammers, and the hammer is like thunder, and the sound of the hammer is like thunder." After a pause, he looked at the iron in the iron furnace thoughtfully, and said, "Bufan, the way you exerted your force just now was very good, but the way you exerted force was wrong. β
"Force?" Ye Bufan was puzzled, doubts flashed in his eyes, his force just now was borrowed from the power of the inch fist in the martial arts Wing Chun boxing in his previous life, and before the force, he twisted his waist and legs a little to produce a torsional moment to make the power explode stronger.
Isn't the way to exert force is to gather strength to a point and then burst out in an instant? Ye Bufan said secretly. As a killer, he used to concentrate all his strength in order to kill with one blow.
Li Tiandao: "Yes, it's just that the way of exerting force is wrong, your way of exerting force is to explode the strength of the whole body at one point, if this point is used elsewhere, of course it is very good." But this is forging, forging is about completely covering every side, every place, every point of the iron, if the force is too concentrated on one point, then the iron will not be knocked away by the force, and it is precisely because of this that you will knock the iron away. β
As he spoke, Li Tian picked up the red-hot iron that had been burned again, and said to Ye Bufan again: "You take a closer look." β
The forging hammer in Li Tian's hand was slightly topped, his feet slid as before again, the muscles on his arms were agitated, and the whole person was like a tiger ready to attack.
The waist strap and the calf body twisted, and the forging hammer slammed into the iron, the iron was shaken slightly, Li Tian's eyes froze, and the forging hammer smashed into the iron flying in the air again.
Bang β
Bang β
Bang β
In the blink of an eye, Li Tian had already swung out a full seventy-two hammers, and the iron had not flown out once under the violent seventy-two hammer strikes, and it had not even changed its position.
Ye Bufan was shocked: "This?"
Li Tian explained with a smile: "This is to exert all your strength, concentrate all your strength on the surface of the forging hammer, and evenly hit the surface of the iron when you hit the iron, so that the iron can be shaken." β
"Concentrate all your strength on the surface of the hammer and hit it evenly everywhere on the iron?"
Ye Bufan recalled Li Tian's hammer method, although each hammer was strong, but each hammer was evenly struck on the surface of the iron, so that the surface of the iron was completely beaten by the forging hammer.
Li Tian's hammer looked like he had dispersed all the force, but he felt that it had gathered a little, and this kind of force was something he had never seen before.
"Try again. β
Li Tian took out a new piece of iron and put it in the iron furnace, and the master led him into the door to practice by himself, and after correcting Ye Bufan's way of exerting himself, he could only rely on his own comprehension ability next.
"Yes, teacher. β
Ye Bufan nodded slowly, he knew that what was next was Li Tian's real test for him, how to correct his way of exerting force, how to remove the impurities in this piece of iron, and this piece of iron would become his answer.
Holding the forging hammer again, Ye Bufan's entire mind was in the piece of iron in front of him, ignoring the things outside.
Whenβ
Whenβ
Whenβ
Ye Bufan knocked on the iron very slowly this time, learning things should start from the first step, he just looked down on himself a little, and also underestimated the way of forging.
He will never make the same mistake a second time, since the way he exerts himself is not right, then start over and learn again.
Time passed quickly, and for a while he didn't know how many hammers he swung, he just felt that his head was so heavy that he wanted to sleep.
Gradually, he forgot what he was doing, only to feel a sudden blank in his mind, his mind was free of distractions, his eyes became dull, and his hands continued to beat the iron.
What he didn't know was that his whole person exuded a faint white light at this time, and the whole person exuded an inexplicable aura, this aura was ethereal and ethereal, making people feel that Ye Bufan was far away, but he was in front of his eyes, but his feeling had changed.
After Li Tian saw the white mist on Ye Bufan's body and his dull eyes, he felt his state at the moment, and suddenly his face changed, and he was shocked: "This is the artistic conception of emptiness?"
