After the curfew, there were only two or three people left in Anvil Alley, and the people called the night wandering gods, Wu Hou carried lanterns and patrolled around. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

All the blacksmith shops had their doors plugged in, but only a few were still brightly lit, and the light of the hearth fire cast through the cracks in the doors on the dark street, becoming one of the few lights.

In the dead of night!

In the Gan Ji sword shop, Hu Li, who did not return to the Yizi Hall in the inner city, hugged a large bundle of hay and snored against the door, even if the hammer in the shop kept forging for a while, he still turned a deaf ear, and slept like a dead pig.

The heat wave in the shop is rolling, but there is no need to worry about getting cold.

The fire was red, and from time to time a few sparks rose with the hot air to the open roof, and disappeared into the night sky.

The old man Gan, who was lying on his body, was only wearing a short coat, covered in sweat, holding pliers in one hand, and holding the hammer high in the other hand and smashing it down, the red sword embryo changed shape slightly in the hammer blow, and from time to time sparks with impurities burst out, making the texture of the sword embryo more and more pure.

When the sword embryo was a little cold, it was thrown into the furnace and heated, and the iron tongs picked up another sword embryo and continued to hammer it.

"...... legs pricked horse, take a deep breath, waist slightly sink, remember, the earth is your foundation, the earth is your source of strength, all your strength comes from the feet, visualize a force from the soles of the feet, stretching the legs to rise to your waist, the waist is the strength, is the key to the force, this force from the earth is controlled by your waist and burst out, the arms are stretched, the hammer falls, pay attention to stability, accuracy and fast, crisp and neat, this is the most coarse forging forming, the higher level is the sword embryo folding forging, divided into ten forging, one hundred forging and one thousand forging, a thousand forging is already a pole, ordinary gold and iron often four or five hundred forging is the limit, No matter how many blades there are, it will be sharper, but the sword body will be brittle, and it can't withstand slashing, and it is easy to break just after that, and then it is the essence of my many years of experience, remember, the fire alchemy eyes are like a bow......"

Old man Gan is always a combination of words and deeds, while nagging endlessly, while the sword is not old, and the sword is constantly forging the sword embryo on the anvil.

The two alternating forged and heated blades took shape a little bit in the hammer blow, not only thinner, but also a quarter shorter in length, and the body became denser and tougher, as if it had been compared with precise measuring tools.

Phew!

The blade is quenched and cooled in a mixture of horse urine and soybean oil, and a strange smell fills the air.

The sweaty old man Gan handed the hammer in his hand to Li Xiaobai and said, "You come!"

"Me?"

Li Xiaobai pointed to himself with some hesitation, a little hesitant.

I've never touched a hammer before, is it really okay to play like this?

"You just want to watch?"

The old man was once again full of hair, and the boy was so frightened that he committed it obediently.

took the handle of the hammer soaked in sweat and checked it, but it was not heavy, Li Xiaobai didn't know that he had obtained the first half of the "Maha Balan Sutra" and practiced the true qi of martial arts, and his strength was no longer what it used to be.

Although there is no strength of a thousand catties with a shake of arms, there are still three or five hundred catties, if you can put on a heavy armor and rush to the battle formation with a Mo knife in hand, you are also a fierce general.

Old man Gan had already prepared a red-hot sword embryo for him.

Boom!

The movement was not small, but the sword embryo showed a 30-degree twist, and it was bent by a hammer.

The old man was angry on the spot, if he didn't know that the kid in front of him was a novice, he had to suppress the anger that was about to explode, and watched Li Xiaobai raise the hammer again without saying a word.

The faces of the three apprentices, Wang Hammer, Tie Niu, and Sun Dao, were as pale as earth, and they knew that the silence of the master at the moment must be the calm before the storm, and they did not know when this old volcano would erupt.

Boom!

The sound was louder than before, and it twisted again.

I'm afraid the straight sword won't work, but the serpentine sword is still making up.

The corners of Old Man Gan's eyes twitched, and his old face turned red, no different from being about to eat someone.

The sword embryo that he poured out with his own hands was so ruined, if one of his three apprentices dared to do this, I am afraid that he would directly go up with a hammer and kill and pull it down.

With two hammers in a row, the sword was ruined, but Li Xiaobai's interest rose, and it was the third time.

This time, the appearance of the sword embryo looks like a "2".

"Enough!"

The old man shouted so violently that the two of them trembled, and almost didn't throw the hammer out.

"You give the old man a look, and look at it with wide eyes!"

Regardless of fatigue, Old Man Gan snatched the hammer in Li Xiaobai's hand, and after a storm-like intensive forging, he knocked the "2" sword out of Li Xiaobai's three hammers back to its original straight appearance.

"Go on!"

The hammer was stuffed back into Li Xiaobai's hand again.

Uh! Xiaobai was really impressed to the ground, he took a breath and smashed his weight lightly.

Boom!

It's really light, the crimson sword body only trembled slightly, and not even a spark jumped out.

"Hard!"

Old man Gan's eyes are so vicious.

When!

"Force! Remember the essentials, be steady and fast! The body must be steady, the hands must be accurate, the force must be ruthless, and the hammer must be fast!"

"Is your wrist dead? Turn it around!

"Pay attention to the anvil, the cooperation between the sword embryo and the hammer, this is not your side of the force, it is the anvil that cooperates with you to exert force!

"Hurry up!

"Change your sword!"

"Don't you have enough strength? Boost your true qi, the old man knows that you are a martial artist, use your true qi!

In the old man's violent shouting, the sound of forging echoing in the Gan Kee sword shop became louder and louder, more and more rhythmic, and lasted all night.

Green charcoal was added to the furnace again and again, until the sky was white, and the sound of forging subsided.

Four preliminarily quenched handleless long swords rested quietly across the sword stand, two of them refracting a fine grain, the scale-like light, and the blades were a little cold and cold even though they were not sharp, while the other two were slightly rough in comparison.

After all, it was not a good age, and the old man Gan, who had stayed up all night, finally returned to the backyard exhausted to rest, and his three apprentices accompanied Li Xiaobai to clean up the shop that had been tossed all night, preparing for the opening after dawn.

The eldest apprentice, Wang Hammer, brought Li Xiaobai a bowl of brown rice porridge and two pieces of coarse bread, and sprinkled some chopped pickles on the porridge.

"Thank you!"

After a night of hammering, Li Xiaobai, who was sore and soft everywhere from his wrists to his waist and back to his legs and feet, took the porridge bowl and the bread, his belly was already so hungry that he was drumming, and he couldn't wait to drink a big mouthful of porridge immediately.

The eldest apprentice, Wang Hammer, suddenly said to Li Xiaobai: "Thank you!"

"Huh?"

Li Xiaobai, who was taking a bite of the steamed bun, looked at the other party suspiciously, why did he thank himself for no reason.

Perhaps smelling the smell of food, Hu Li, who was sleeping in the haystack, rubbed his eyes and sat up, and said in a daze, "Is it dawn?"

"Thank you, Master Li!"

"Thank you!"

Tie Niu and Sun Dao, who also didn't sleep all night and were still busy in the shop, stopped their work and thanked Li Xiaobai like their senior brother Wang Hammer.

"Why thank me?"

Li Xiaobai stopped his movements and looked at the three of them in puzzlement, as if he hadn't done anything good recently.

"Our three brothers are stupid and can not inherit the mantle of the master, although they are scolded every day, but the three of us know that this is the master hates iron and steel, and no one can continue his skills, and his old man is also very bitter in his heart. ”

After the senior brother Wang Hammer finished speaking, he fell to the ground, and the other two junior brothers also took a deep look, as if Li Xiaobai had learned the sword-forging skills of the old man Gan, so that the helplessness and guilt of the three junior brothers who were stupid because they could not inherit the master's mastery were immediately reduced a lot, as for the real master-apprentice status, no one cared.

Uh, what's the successor? Something seems to be wrong.

Li Xiaobai, who was in a daze, stood for a long time, and then finally came back to his senses and stammered: "But, but, I am here to customize flying swords, not to learn to cast swords." ”

The Gan Ji Sword Shop instantly fell into a dead silence, as if even the fire had dimmed by three points.

The three brothers looked at each other, the master and his old man were mistaken, and even the three of them were also mistaken, they came to customize flying swords, not to learn to cast swords.

Everyone's trying to squirt out a mouthful of old blood.

In the past few days, I have been mining and practicing hammers, and finally met a decent inheritor of the mantle, and the brothers and sisters can feel that although the old man does not say it, he is very happy in his heart.

But, but it's a big misunderstanding!

How good is that?

Senior brother Wang Hammer swallowed his saliva with difficulty, if the master knew the truth, I am afraid that he would tear the four of them apart!

Thinking of this, as if they all agreed, the three brothers shivered together.

He said bitterly, "It seems that we are all going to go wrong!"

After thinking about it, Wang Hammer and the two junior disciples glanced at each other, and continued: "Please don't tell the master Li Gongzi, we are afraid that his old man will ......."

At this point, he shut his mouth, because the next words were not auspicious.

Looking at the appearance of that bad old man, most of them are like this, Li Xiaobai made up for what Wang Hammer didn't say.

It's not just the old man Gan who misunderstood, but even he misunderstood, one side thought that the token sword was to learn to cast the sword, and he was preconceived, and the other party also preconceived that it was the other party's strange rules, and as a result, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer to make it into today's situation.

I was sprayed with saliva for a few days in vain, and it was really depressing in retrospect.

The three brothers didn't even dare to take a breath, and looked at Li Xiaobai nervously, for fear that he would open his mouth to refuse.
