In his memories, an old man with sparse and pale hair appeared, the old man's face was wrinkled, although he was already in his twilight years, he was full of energy, a pair of wrinkled hands kept stroking him who was only fifteen years old at the time, and his cloudy eyes carried a touch of hope: "Fan'er is an old teacher, and there is no hope of reaching the innate realm anymore, but you are still young, as long as you cultivate well, it may be possible to reach the innate realm in the future." ”

Ye Bufan recalled his master's words, his face revealed a strong longing, and in the direction of the east, with a touch of crystal tears in the corner of his eyes, his voice was a little choked: "Master, have you seen it? Fan'er finally lived up to your expectations and reached the legendary innate realm." ”

Even if this world is not the original world, but in his heart of respect for the East has never changed, he is an Oriental person, his home is in the East, his relatives are also in the East, his heart is in the East, the East, these two words are as deep as a brand in his heart.

It wasn't until a long time that Ye Bufan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at the sky in the distance, and secretly swore: "Master, don't worry, Fan'er's achievements will not be limited to this, please quietly watch Fan'er go to the top step by step in this world in that world!"

A year later, Fengling Village, next to Litian's blacksmith shop.

A thin figure was holding a sledgehammer disproportionate to his body by the stove, struggling to strike at a piece of fiery red iron in front of him.

This thin figure is Ye Bufan, who came to the Litian blacksmith shop to learn forging a year ago, at this moment, Ye Bufan's face was burned red by the heat of the iron furnace, although a lot of sweat continued to flow out of his body, but he didn't care at all about letting the sweat wet his clothes.

Although the sledgehammer looked much bigger than Ye Bufan's body, it was like an arm in Ye Bufan's hands, ignoring the iron filings flying out of the iron blocks, and the sledgehammer turned into a hammer shadow in Ye Bufan's hands, beating the iron on the iron furnace.

And Li Tian was standing behind Ye Bufan at the moment, looking at Ye Bufan's beating figure with a shocked face, the huge iron hammer had no effect in Ye Bufan's hands, and each hammer accurately smashed into every point of the iron block, and the forging technique did not look like a person who had just learned to forge for a year, which made him recall the scene a year ago.

A year ago

"Uncle Li, I'm here to bother you. Looking at Li Tian, who was striking iron, Ye Bufan smiled happily.

Seeing that Li Tian was really concentrating on forging, he didn't go to see him for the first time, Ye Bufan was not in a hurry, and silently watched Li Tian's actions of striking iron carefully.

Li Tian was not affected by Ye Bufan at all, the speed of striking iron became faster and faster, and a casting hammer gradually turned into an afterimage in Ye Bufan's eyes.

Ye Bufan's heart instantly generated four words for Li Tian's forging technique: "fast, precise, powerful, steady!"

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, about two quarters of an hour had passed, and the charcoal in the iron furnace had turned into piles of white crumbs in the passage of time, and the flames had become a little smaller.

"Raise the fire a little more!" Li Tian suddenly shouted in a deep voice, and Ye Bufan on the side was stunned for a moment and did not react.

Seeing that Ye Bufan had not moved for a long time, Li Tian frowned, and shouted in a deep voice again: "Why are you still stunned, go and increase the fire." ”

Ye Bufan reacted at this time, his expression was shocked, and he hurriedly ran to the mouth of the iron furnace, and quickly filled the brown-black charcoal on the soles of his feet into the fire inlet of the iron furnace.

The original blazing fire, after Ye Bufan added charcoal, the flame soared again. The crimson flame with a flash of blue light continued to pour out at the mouth of the furnace, and the air around it was distorted by the high temperature of the flame.

When the air sniffed into his nose, Ye Bufan only felt that his chest was also burning with flames. On the face and body under the high temperature flames, sweat constantly flowed, and when the sweat fell on the ground, it was instantly evaporated to form a white mist.

The mouth of the iron furnace is the place where the flames burn the most, and the raging fire constantly splashes out a lot of sparks, and the sparks fall in all directions.

Li Tian stood in the middle of the furnace, which was the most likely place to be splashed by sparks, and his expression was not affected in the slightest, allowing a little spark to fall on him.

Looking at the fierce flames, he continued to shout in a deep voice: "It's not enough! Go pull the bellows and drum up the fire!"

"Yes. ”

Hearing that Li Tian was still dissatisfied with the level of the flames, Ye Bufan's heart was shocked, but he didn't say anything, since he wanted to learn forging, then he had to start from the basics.

The so-called foundation of the foundation, that is, what the master says, then do it, in the process of doing, if you encounter a problem that you don't understand, just ask the master, for the time being, you don't need to understand or think about why the master wants you to do this. Listen to everything first, do it first, and learn as you go.

Ye Bufan understood this truth, so he didn't have a trace of doubt, took a deep breath to remove the discomfort in his chest, and walked to the edge of the bellows and sat down.

On each side of the bellows are two iron rods made of cast iron, and a wooden handle is embedded in the top of the iron rod. In addition, there are two rectangular objects cast from pig iron under the bellows, which are arranged diagonally on the ground one after the other.

Ye Bufan held his hands on the wooden handle, and suddenly, with a "hiss", he took a breath of cold air in pain, quickly withdrew his hands, and spread out the palms of his hands to watch, only to see that the palms had been covered by burns and became extremely red.

Seeing that the flames had not risen for a long time, Li Tian stopped the movements in his hand, frowned and looked in the direction of Ye Bufan, just heard Ye Bufan's painful voice, and said indifferently: "If you can't even hold on to this level of burning, then don't come to study." ”

It's not that he doesn't want to teach Ye Bufan to learn forging, but the way of forging seems to be very simple, but how many people know the hardships?

On the Xuanwu Continent, how many forgers are under the high temperature flame, because they can't withstand the "burns, burns, scalds" brought by the flames. "And give up the forging road again and again?

And how many times have the forgers who persevered in the process of forging under the high temperature flames endure "burns, burns, scalds" every day. "None of this is something that ordinary people can understand.

Ye Bufan heard Li Tian's indifferent words, did not answer or complain, with a resolute look on his face, he held the hot wooden handle again, and felt the hot heat from the wooden handle again.

Ye Bufan clenched his teeth, stepped on the iron pedal with both feet, stepped his body back hard, pulled the wooden handle out with force, and then pushed it forward.

This name: drum fire, also known as: blast wind.

"Whew"

In the bellows being constantly blown by Ye Bufan, the flames on the iron furnace suddenly swelled again in a strange sound, and rose into the air.

Seeing Ye Bufan showing his attitude with such a simple action, Li Tian couldn't help but secretly appreciate it in his heart, nodded slightly and showed a smile, picked up the forging hammer again and continued to beat the iron.

Ding——

Ding——

Ding——

The hammer of the forging sounded again, and the sound of the hammer was melodious, as if each hammer was a pleasant note, with a peculiar rhythm, and the rhythm surrounded the blacksmith's shop.

The sound of the hammer seems to be different from the sound of the hammer of that day. Ye Bufan secretly said in his heart, if he had to describe it, the hammer sound of Li Tian before was like thunder on a rainstorm, deafening. Now the sound of the hammer is like a continuous drizzle, constantly imprinted in my heart, trapped in my mind and indelible.

"The fire is bigger. Li Tian's voice clearly reached Ye Bufan's ears in the sound of the hammer.

Ye Bufan hurriedly reined in his mind, quietly operated the Nine Dragons Technique, and said loudly: "Yes." ”

Under Ye Bufan's operation, a layer of pale white aura appeared to cover his hands, this action he did very hidden, and Li Tian was too focused on striking iron, he didn't look at other things at all, after the aura covered the palm, he felt a cool feeling on the palm, Ye Bufan pulled the wooden handle hard, and raised the flame to a height again.

When the villagers who returned from outside walked to the iron furnace, they were also attracted by the sound of the hammer, and they stopped and fell into the sound of the hammer, and did not wake up for a while.
