Chapter 20: The Second Metamorphosis
20
Five or six days have passed since my sister left the mountain, and the time has been spent in a regular manner, getting up every day to practice swords, reading books, having lunch classes, and practicing the mind in the evening. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info time row is full, but it is also very fulfilling.
Ten days have passed, and it is time to go out again, and this time Uncle Zhou has entrusted another task to add carbon bellows to the forging furnace. For this kind of task, Mo Yi naturally took it, and after arriving at Ruoxu Valley, he knocked on the door of the water pavilion; seeing that he was coming again, Uncle Zhou couldn't help but smile; all the tasks he had released in the past few months had been taken over by Mo Yi. There's nothing wrong with destroying it, but it's also quite interesting.
"Since it is again, you and I will not talk much. Come with me to the forge room, this time I've asked someone else to help you forge a good sword, and you'll need to help you. Uncle Zhou walked to the workshop and said as he walked.
"Okay, Uncle Zhou, I'll do my best. Mo Yi nodded respectfully in response.
When you arrive at the furnace, there is a blazing flame in the furnace, and the staggering heat makes the whole workshop feel like it is burning in a furnace. This shows that Senior Uncle Zhou is smelting the materials for making swords, and unlike the last time he came, the temperature of the furnace this time is obviously much higher. Obviously, the fuel used should not be the usual charcoal, which cannot reach this temperature in any case.
But it seemed that the furnace was almost smelted, and when the plug at the bottom of the furnace was removed, a large amount of fiery red, hot liquid began to spew out, flowing down the ditch to the mold for casting the iron ingots. The metal cools slowly, gradually revealing a wood-like pattern and color. Moy couldn't help but be surprised, it was the first time he had seen such material, he had read all the books in the outer library that recorded the ore production, and there was no such material.
"Uncle Shi, what kind of metal is this?" Mo Yi couldn't help but ask curiously.
Uncle Zhou explained lightly: "This is not a metal, it is a spirit stone called wood grain stone, which is used to make the spirit sword used after the creation period. ”
"Doesn't the spirit sword be made with iron?" Mo Yi couldn't help but be curious, he didn't know much about the spirit sword.
Uncle Zhou laughed: "Naturally, not exactly, the spirit sword needs to be engraved with a spirit pattern with the same attributes; ordinary steel can't bear it, so it naturally needs to be supplemented with other materials." ”
"But won't this affect the original strength of the sword? And the stone is generally broken when knocked out, how to forge it. "Mo Yi is really strange about stone swords.
"You'll see. Uncle Zhou smiled lightly, and took a pottery ball the size of an ordinary iron kettle from the workbench, and when he opened the lid on the top of it, Mo Yi found that it was hollow inside. Uncle Zhou then added seven pieces of high-temperature smelted iron mother, which is pure wrought iron, so it is very soft. Generally, it can only be used to make iron wire for binding, but Mo Yi doesn't know what Uncle Zhou's intention is.
Then he put three more pieces of wood grain stone in it, added a few spoonfuls of finely ground charcoal powder, and closed the lid. Then he put the whole pottery spherical vessel into the hot furnace, and then took out a few yellow talismans from his bosom and pasted them to the fixed position on the base around the furnace.
"Uncle Shi, is this?, do we cultivators still have to stick talismans to avoid evil?" Mo Yi was extremely surprised by this scene, and he didn't know what Uncle Zhou's intentions were. Because in his mind, the rune paper was the practice of some wandering Taoist priests who pretended to be gods and ghosts to fool the people.
Uncle Zhou pursed his eyebrows and sighed: "Stupid, you forgot that I once talked about the Feiyun Guan Dan Talisman on Minghe Island, this is the spiritual fire talisman produced by them, which can gather real fire in the furnace, otherwise you think you can melt iron with charcoal!"
"Well, Uncle Shi only said at the time that they were all drawing on the void to attract aura, and he didn't say that they could draw on this yellow paper. Hearing this, Mo Yi couldn't help but feel aggrieved, he had always had a good memory, and if he said it, it was impossible for him not to remember.
"Well, that's true, after all, these outer disciples don't need to know. Each of our seven major sects has its own strengths and supports the operation of the sect. Except for the two in Danyang and the Broken Sky Mountain with the support of Xianguo, the rest have to consider their own expenses. For example, we have a sword forging pavilion in the Yixin Lingyun Pavilion, and the swords produced are exchanged for silver coins. The Ethereal Immortal Residence can make Qiankun bags, and the two sects of Baiyue produce all kinds of pills. Feiyunguan produces all kinds of spirit runes. ”
"Thank you Uncle for your teaching, and my disciple has gained more knowledge. Mo Yi bowed his head and thanked him.
Uncle Zhou played a few tricks and triggered the spirit rune, and the flames in the furnace suddenly rose, becoming even more exaggerated than just now. Turning around, Uncle Zhou smiled lightly: "Knowledge comes from experience, and it will become richer and richer as you get older." Speaking of which, I see that you are full of energy and have reached saturation, why don't you choose to try to hit the realm of returning to the sea?"
"Well, my receiver said that there is a rule in the door that needs to be suppressed for half a year, and now there is more than a month. Mo Yi didn't think about telling the truth.
Uncle Zhou couldn't help but smile lightly: "I forgot about this stubble, but it is a bit redundant to waste more than a month to stabilize the spring that is not stable; ”
Uncle Zhou said and recited a mental method. The mental method is similar to that taught by the senior sister, but there is an extra paragraph. Mo Yi couldn't help but be curious, and with Uncle Zhou's recitation, he tried to run it again, and there was no gap in front of him, and soon he ran to the extra section, but this section of the operation of the imaginary world suddenly changed, and his original spring like a small lake quickly began to decrease, melting into the yellow sand around him.
This mutation made Murphy vigilant, but he thought that Uncle Zhou didn't need to harm himself, so he tried to run it. The water in the spring then rapidly decreased, but the surrounding area began to grow a little more vitality, and small green grass began to grow in the empty yellow sand around the spring, and the spring finally shrank to only one foot square. At this time, black mucus began to ooze from his body, and the strong stench was extremely pungent under the infection of the hot gas.
Uncle Zhou, who was looking at Mo Yi, couldn't help but have a gleam in his eyes, and he naturally saw this scene in his eyes. It's a long time, but it's only a short moment. When he opened his eyes, Mo Yi didn't feel any drop in strength, but the essence in his body was reduced to a minimum, as if a spring had just opened.
"This is..." Mo Yi looked at the abnormal changes in his body and couldn't help but ask Uncle Zhou.
Uncle Zhou fanned the air in front of him and said with a light smile: "Go to the lake to wash first, don't stink my water pavilion." ”
Mo Yi looked at the mucus on his body, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, and his face was slightly red. He didn't care about taking off his clothes, so he threw himself directly into the lake. As soon as I came out of the scorching hot workshop, the cool water of the lake seemed extremely comfortable, and I quickly rubbed the ink to quickly wash away the filth around my body. After going ashore, he took off his shirt, sword, robe and shoes, put them on the shelf in front of the workshop, and twisted the water from his trouser legs.
The temperature in the workshop is very high, and the clothes should dry down from time to time. He was not in a hurry about this, the changes in the springs, and the fact that he had undergone another metamorphosis was what he was concerned about.
