"Jingle Bell, Ding Bell, Ding Bell"

After a violent and rhythmic percussion sound, I saw a slightly sturdy young man use iron tongs to put the already formed fiery red soldering iron into a vat of blue water, only to hear a burst of "snort" sounds. After a while, he took out the strange knife-shaped soldering iron from the water, and saw that the knife-shaped weapon flashed in the hot casting room.

Seeing this, the sturdy young man with a resolute face but clear eyebrows couldn't help but show some joy.

This young man is Lin Hu, since he came to the Qishan blacksmith shop three years ago, Lin Hu started as an apprentice who pulled bellows, in these three years, Lin Hu relied on his previous life to hone his fart kung fu, the spirit of hard work and the whimsy from time to time to win the unanimous praise of many craftsmen in Tieji, naturally, he did not hesitate to teach him questions from time to time.

Of course, there are also reasons for the old iron head, in the past three years, Lin Hu has often asked the old iron head for advice when he has problems in martial arts, and he has also asked questions about casting, and the old iron head has not been stingy with Lin Hu's questions, and has answered them one by one.

As soon as the number of times, everyone's eyes became strange, in their impression, the old iron head is not so generous, except for sometimes when he is in a good mood and occasionally points out to others, other times if you go to ask and be scolded, it is light.

In their hearts, Lin Hu seems to be half of the heir of the old iron head, and this treatment is different.

You must know that Lao Tietou's ability to cast weapons is not only famous in Jiyang County, where Qishan Town belongs, but also in the entire Qibei Mansion.

Ever since Lin Hu knew the old iron head's skills and was able to talk to him, the sycophants were called a happy person, and the old iron head was taken out except for those skills that were not passed on by the bottom of the box and the non-personal disciples. Of course, it's just blacksmith stuff.

However, Lin Hu was not proud of this, he felt that most of it was just that the old iron head was pleasing to his eyes.

It is indeed like this, Lin Hu's style makes Lao Tietou look very appetizing, if Lin Hu can't correct his mentality, then, he won't want to ask questions other than that set of martial arts after the next day.

Today is the day when Lin Hu is out of school, and the weapon he is building in his hand is the proof of his master.

What he wants to create is the Tang knife that is famous in the entire history of ancient Chinese cold weapons, and later generations often think that the Tang knife is a certain knife in the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang knife actually refers to a certain kind of knife, but refers to all kinds of swords in the entire Tang Dynasty.

As for what he wanted to build, it was the famous horizontal sword of the Tang swords, which was the predecessor of the later Japanese Oriental samurai sword.

The material used to cast the Tang knife was the hundred-forged steel that he spent several months making, and after going through various processes, as long as the knife went through Kaifeng, it was completed.

When Lin Hu was about to hand over the completed Tang knife to the old iron head with apprehension, and asked him to evaluate, he saw that he was in the casting room, observing other blacksmiths or blacksmith apprentices building weapons, during which he pointed a few times from time to time, although he said a lot of three-character scriptures in the process of pointing, but the people who were scolded all looked like they had earned it.

Lin Hu respectfully walked up to the old iron head and said, "Pavilion Master, this is the knife I built, please advise." ”

After speaking, the old iron head took the Tang knife, only to see him lower his head, squinting his eyes and looking carefully, but no one noticed a glint in his eyes when he lowered his head.

After a while, when the atmosphere of the entire casting room was a little solemn, I saw the old iron head laughing: " Yes, the craftsmanship has reached the top of the mortal weapon, if some high-grade materials are used in casting, it will not be worse than the ordinary treasure, I will not comment much, however, the design of this knife is the only one I have seen in my life, not as wide as the ordinary knife, in the hands of some people, it can exert a stronger power than the ordinary knife, yes, yes, from today, your level in our blacksmith shop will be counted according to the senior craftsman, and the easternmost courtyard in the pavilion will be yours from now on. ”

Boom, like a thunderclap exploding in the crowd, the people in the crowd seemed to have heard it wrong, although they knew that in terms of the level of the old iron head, it was really good, but it was a senior craftsman, and one step away was the existence of a refiner, although this step was a world of difference, but in this high-martial world, a senior craftsman who could create a sophisticated weapon was courteous no matter where he was.

Especially those blacksmith apprentices, many envious and jealous even have red eyes, you know, there are still many apprentices who have been in the apprenticeship for six or seven years or are still apprentices, and even some ordinary craftsmen can't be calm.

These Lin Hu didn't know that he was now standing in an independent courtyard, that was the residence he had just been assigned, the house was not exquisite but there was a different kind of quaint atmosphere, the important thing was that he had an independent yard and house, he used to live in a house shared with many blacksmith apprentices, and there were many things he wanted to do because they could not be implemented because they were not kept secret, but now it is much more convenient.

When Lin Hu sorted out all the things, he stood in the courtyard and began to practice martial arts one by one. The practice is naturally the set given to him by the old iron head three years ago, "Lihuo Heart Method" and "Lihuo Quenching Body Fist".

In fact, "Lihuo Heart Method" and "Lihuo Quenching Body Fist" are also the most famous and widely circulated exercises in the entire Dali Dynasty. In the Dali Dynasty, countless soldiers and low-level officers practiced this, although it was widely spread, but not everyone could learn it, and soldiers had to make meritorious contributions to be taught, and if they were taught privately, the punishment was also very serious.

Lin Hu didn't know how Lao Tietou's mental method came about, over the years, with the gradual increase in contact with Lao Tietou, although Lao Tietou always looked very casual, no different from an ordinary shop owner, but Lin Hu always felt that Lao Tietou had something on his mind, in the words of his previous life, that is, "he is a person with a story".

Since he came to Qishan Town, Lin Hu has always collected all kinds of information about this world, intentionally or unintentionally. Although what he knows now is only the tip of the iceberg, it still makes him staggered.

His first impression was, big, really big! Take the Dali dynasty where he belonged, for example, Dali was divided into a total of 81 counties in Kyushu, and one county was at least 100,000 li longitudinal and horizontal, and the big one was 300,000 li. And for places outside of the Great Departure, he is still black-eyed.

The martial arts of this heaven and earth are divided into three levels, heaven, earth and man, and each level is divided into three levels: low, medium and high, with a total of nine levels. As for what Lin Hu learned, the level was a little lower, but there was also an advantage, that is, it was easy to learn and easy to use, if you directly gave him a copy of the Heavenly Tribulation exercises, he would also be dumbfounded, after all, no matter how good the exercises were, he had to understand them and learn them! Especially the high-level exercises, the requirements for cultivators were not ordinarily high.

"Lihuo Heart Method" and "Lihuo Quenching Body Fist" can be so widely circulated in the army, and there is a reason for him. The reason is that it is simple and powerful, but it is stronger than the exercises of the same level, which is really the best choice for beginners.

"Lihuo Heart Method" and "Lihuo Quenching Bone Fist" are the first choice for beginners, which also shows that it is easy to learn and difficult to master.

You must know that when Lin Hu first practiced this set of exercises and martial arts, it only took three days to enter the first realm of martial arts cultivation - refining meat. Then it took more than two months to break through the Flesh Refining Realm and enter the second realm of martial cultivation - Refining Tendons.

In the next two years or so, he has been in this realm, and this is still under the guidance of the old iron head, but even so, now, seven or eight ordinary men who have not practiced martial arts together are not his opponents.

In this world, human cultivators are divided into martial cultivators and Xuan cultivators.

Martial cultivation refines itself through the vitality of heaven and earth, and there are ten realms that are meat refining, tendon refining, skin refining, bone refining, visceral refining, marrow refining, blood refining, refining knots, refining qi, and innate.

The meta-cultivation is to cultivate the divine soul, condense the three souls and seven spirits, and attract the vitality of heaven and earth through the divine soul, forming various spells and Taoism, or through the divine soul to make various magic weapons, to achieve the purpose of attacking the enemy.

Xuan Xiu is also divided into ten realms, namely Tianchong, Linghui, Qi, Force, Central, Spirit, Heroic, Yin, Yeyou, and Yang.

And others, such as some great Confucians in the court, although they don't practice martial arts or cultivate their souls, maybe an ordinary strongman can kill him, but they have cultivated a heroic spirit in their chests for many years, which can suppress yin and evil. Some demon yin spirits that even high-level martial cultivators have a headache for. The Great Confucian may be able to disperse his soul as long as he shouts loudly, and even ordinary people can sacrifice the ink treasure of the Great Confucian to suppress the evil spirit.

However, in recent years, it is said that the Great Confucianism was also divided into two factions, arguing endlessly over whether Confucian scholars should practice martial arts, but the two factions failed to convince each other, so they had to do their own thing.

This is also what Lin Hu doesn't understand, it stands to reason that Confucian martial arts can give him some ability to protect himself no matter what, why are there so many people who oppose it, of course, as an outsider, he is just watching the fun.

Some of the children of the Mo family are even known as technical streams in ordinary times, and they usually use the puppets made by the imperial envoys themselves to resist the enemy, if the mechanism is excellent, it is not an incredible thing to defeat the enemy over the ranks.

There are other schools of thought that have their own methods, but they all have their own characteristics.

As for the cultivation of other demon beasts and demons, or what realms there are on them, Lin Hu is not very clear, and this is not what he can know from time to time.

And now, Lin Hu doesn't care about the outside world, because he finds that the bottleneck that has stuck him for three years is about to be broken.
