After talking, Mo Yi also smelled a lot of stories from Uncle Zhou that he didn't know but wanted to know, and an hour was not long, Uncle Zhou put on his work clothes and began to continue. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the afternoon, Uncle Zhou continued to refine the hundred steels, and Mo Yi also learned a lot of forging skills with his help. An hour and a half later, Uncle Zhou smelted another piece of steel that had been folded a hundred times, and this time the number of refurnaces was only forty times, and the hardness was obviously much higher than the previous one.

Using the method of clamping rigidity, Uncle Zhou wrapped the soft steel with hard rigidity. After returning to the furnace and burning red, he forged it again, and after half an hour, he had beaten it into long strips. However, it was time for dinner, and Uncle Zhou had to rush to work, so Mo Yi had to eat another marching pill.

An hour later, the sunset was already close to the side of the mountain, and the iron bar was also beaten into the image of a long knife with a one-sided blade more than two fingers wide; Mo Yi counted it, and Uncle Zhou heated the whole process eighty-nine times, as if he was deliberately controlling it; plus the quenching time was exactly ninety times, it can be seen from this that his skill is by no means comparable to Li Gang.

Before quenching, the next thing was grinding, and Mo Yi naturally couldn't help, so he hurried back to his hut, and agreed to help again tomorrow morning.

After returning to his hut, Mo Yi began to cultivate, and after three months of cultivation, the spring had risen to a huge pond ten zhang square, and the spring was already the thickness of a finger, like a fountain, and the spring was gushing out of the essence like a fountain. However, the senior sister also said that in order to lay a solid foundation, the cabinet stipulates that after the spring is opened, you must wait half a year before you can try to advance.

But he is not in a hurry to wait for another three months, and even then he will be much faster than the others. After spending the night in cultivation, Mo Yi got up early in the morning and washed his face by the pool, and after breakfast, he went to Ruoxu Valley again to continue his mission.

Facing the morning light, Mo Yi felt light and healthy, and knocked on the door after arriving at Ruoxu Valley; Uncle Zhou was still dressed as a blacksmith and led Mo Yi into his workshop; Mo Yi found that he had finished grinding the blade and was covering it with a layer of slightly black mud. Mo Yi's eyes couldn't help but light up, he knew this skill, Uncle Gang said that the ghost clan used its method a lot, and called it the Covering Soil Burning Knife.

"Uncle Shi is going to be a weapon of the ghost clan?" Mo Yi raised his eyebrows, and asked with a curious expression on his face, knowing that his Xiyue used this method.

"Oh, you can tell. Their skills are somewhat similar to those of Broken Sky Mountain, but they are also different. I think this method is also novel and I want to try it. Uncle Zhou casually said as he lifted the blade wrapped in mud, and as a flash of red light, the mud slowly emitted hot air, quickly drying. He then instructed: "Make the furnace a little hotter, and we will start quenching." ”

"Okay, wait a minute. Mo Yi responded, skillfully adding carbon and pulling up the bellows.

Uncle Zhou also buried the blade in the charcoal and began to wait, and kept watching. You must know that quenching is the transformation of a weapon, and the temperature is extremely critical. Too high or too low will affect the finished weapon, too low a temperature will not achieve the purpose of making the weapon hard, but too high a temperature will directly deform and break the weapon. The difference between these can only be grasped by the blacksmith empirically.

As the tongue of fire flew in the hearth, Uncle Zhou was also staring intently at the blade. Finally, he used pliers to remove the blade from the furnace in an instant, and placed it in the sink next to it. When entering the water, Mo Yi observed that Uncle Zhou first let the part of the blade enter the water, and then the heat steamed. It seems that because of this different quenching method, the blade is pulled out of a subtle arc.

Mo Yi also stared nervously at the blade in the sink, after all, he had been looking at it almost all the time from beginning to end, and naturally he didn't want it to fail. As Uncle Zhou took out the blade from the pool, he checked that there were no cracks, and the transformation of the blade was completed. The next step is the fine grinding and polishing part, also known as the washing edge.

How much time it takes depends on Uncle Zhou himself. However, Mo Yi still underestimated the cultivators in the Feather Transformation Period, and Uncle Zhou took out his tools and flew with his hands, and it only took half an hour for the knife to be polished like a mirror, and everything was completed except for the part containing the hilt and scabbard.

Now it seems that the narrow blade is shining with cold light, showing the majesty of a murder weapon, and it can't help but make people's skin ache a little when they look at it. Uncle Zhou has also prepared the supporting parts for a long time, and they have been installed from time to time.

"If it's a weapon, you have to try to cut it, you take it and cut down that tree. Uncle Zhou smiled lightly and handed the knife to Mo Yi, and pointed to a big tree not far away.

Holding the blade, Mo Yi couldn't help but feel heavier than the setting moon, and the blade that shimmered with cold light had a fine pattern of 100 steel. Nodding, Mo Yi walked to the side of the tree with a knife in both hands, raising the knife and slashing diagonally, seeing that the tree was so thick, Mo Yi used more strength, but he didn't encounter much obstacle throughout the whole process, and the blade easily passed through the tree, as if cutting tofu.

"Boom..."

The big tree slipped down with the break, and the loud noise startled many birds in the forest. The fracture of the tree is very smooth, like a mirror. Mo Yi couldn't help but be surprised, this is too sharp, isn't it! Uncle Zhou also nodded when he looked at it, quite satisfied.

"What kind of knife is this?" Mo Yi asked as he returned the weapon to Uncle Zhou.

Uncle Zhou inserted the knife back into its scabbard and explained, "This is called a katana, the iconic weapon of the ghost clan. It is said that the oni clan is divided into two kingdoms, the country of ninjas and the country of samurai. The ninjas of Ninja Nation are proficient in the art of assassination and some spells, but they call them ninjutsu. The samurai of the samurai country were proficient in swordsmanship, similar to the Mt. Broken Sky, and this katana was a samurai's special saber. ”

"How many races are there in the Great Wilderness now? Mo Yi nodded, couldn't help but sigh at Uncle Zhou's erudition, and then asked.

Uncle Zhou said casually: "If you want to talk about the Great Wilderness Race, there are dozens of them, and many small groups are just subservient to a corner. In addition to our human race, there are only five people who can be ranked, the barbarians in the north and the ghost tribe in the east; the demon clan and the rakshasa not far from us to the west, and there is an Indra in the southwest and the rakshasa respectively; the rest are all small people in the ascending bucket, which is not worth mentioning. ”

"Indra?" Mo Yi couldn't help but wonder when he heard it, it was the first time he had heard the name a few words he had heard of a few times.

"Indra dwelt in the southwestern sea, not bordering our human race, they look a little like us humans, but they are bald men without hair, and they are enemies of the neighboring rakshasas, and the two races have been fighting for many years. Uncle Zhou explained with a light smile, and he was not bored. As he spoke, he casually threw the katana onto the weapon rack, seemingly unconcerned.
