Chapter 426: The Craftsman
The room was awkwardly quiet.
This and this are different from what I expected.
The posture just now was like a bamboo, and it felt like a sword going down would directly break the stone neatly, but there was only an extra gap in the stone, and it was only a small gap.
Duo Kang looked at the stone on the ground, then looked at the sword in Gong Jiaheng's hand, and then turned his head to glance at Zhengluo next to him, and wanted to say something, but he held back again.
Not to mention Duokang, even Gong Jiaheng himself, his face full of beards was red and black.
I wanted to show off, but I found that I failed to pretend to be forced.
"Ahem, this stone is a bit weird, the few pieces I tried before were easy to break. "How did Gong Jiaheng know that a stone he picked up in the house was so hard? If those ordinary stones in the mountains and forests could be split open! He really didn't expect to encounter such a thing, it's just, it's ...... I can't wait to judge myself with a sword.
Shao Xuan was surprised, he went over to pick up the missing stone on the ground, looked at the gap on it, and had surprise in his eyes.
"Good sword!" Shao Xuan exclaimed.
Gong Jiaheng: "Don't talk about ......, I want to cut myself."
Seeing Gong Jiaheng's face, Shao Xuan also knew what he was thinking, and explained: "This is indeed the best sword I have ever seen, as for this stone, it is harder than the others. According to the level of stone tools we use, this stone is already close to the best stone, much harder than the others. Shao Xuan pointed to another stone in the corner, "If it's that one, it's different." β
The stone just now was picked up by Shao Xuan by chance during a hunt, the stone is indeed very good, but it is too small to be made into a knife and spear or something, Shao Xuan temporarily threw it in the corner, but he didn't expect it to become a test stone for Gong Jiaheng. Gong Jiaheng's luck is too good. It's good to save this girl from being blind.
Shao Xuan handed Gong Jiaheng another stone, in the eyes of Gongjiaheng and the others, there was not much difference, it was similar to other stones in the mountains and forests.
"You try again. Shao Xuan said.
Gong Jiaheng didn't have that much confidence this time, but. For the surname "Gongjia", he can't leave a bad impression on people, otherwise he will mention it in the future, saying that someone surnamed Gongjia came out of Gongjia Mountain and made a fine sword that can't even cut stones...... That Gongjia Heng is really going to run back to Gongjia Mountain to cut himself there.
Taking a deep breath, Gong Jiaheng threw up the stone that Shao Xuan handed over again, gritted his teeth and swung his sword to chop it down. Holding back his strength, the momentum was even more violent than just now.
Bang!
The stone was broken in half.
Seeing this, Gong Jiaheng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but the arrogance just now was a little more restrained, there was no way, he lost people just now, even if he saved some face now. I have to admit that it was really shocking just now. This also made Gong Jiaheng understand that his skills were still far behind, and if he was given time to continue to study and improve, one day, he would be able to break the stone just now.
Dokang picked up the broken stone on the ground. Fang Cai's suspicions were also put away, and his eyes stared at the sword in Gong Jiaheng's hand with bright eyes. However, he also knew that the sword was given to Shao Xuan, and he just wanted to wait for Shao Xuan not to use it in the future. He borrowed to make one addicted.
And Zheng Luo also admires Gong Jiaheng very much, he is worthy of being a box man, and he can really break stones easily! No wonder the slave owners of the six cities are sought after.
Gong Jiaheng handed the sword to Shao Xuan, he didn't introduce a few other weapons now, but carefully asked Shao Xuan how to better identify the stone, which would make it easier for him to build the sword in the future and select the stone to test the sword, otherwise, if there was an embarrassing scene like the one just now, he really didn't need this face. Fortunately, this is only a tribe living deep in the mountains and forests, if it is in the six cities, especially the royal city, if such a thing happens in public, the consequences will be even more serious.
After seeing the sword made by Gong Jia Heng, Zheng Luo and Duo Kang did not continue to stay here, and Gong Jia Heng still had something to discuss with Shao Xuan, so they would not bother.
After Shao Xuan told Gong Jiaheng about some methods of identifying stones, he asked Gong Jiaheng about his future plans.
"I'll go straight to the royal city, there are still some elders and friends there who need to be visited, after all, I've been gone for twenty years! Gongjiaheng sighed, "Some people, looking for Gongjia Mountain, can enter with one foot at the door, but they can't take that step until they die." "Just like the corpses I saw in the valley, they died with great unwillingness.
"The old people in the tribe said that it was providence, I thought that I would follow in their footsteps, but I didn't expect to meet you Shao Xuan. β
"I've also benefited a lot. Shao Xuan said.
Gong Jiaheng thought that Shao Xuan was talking about the ten weapons he gave out, and waved his hand and said: "This is nothing, in the future, I will improve my skills, if you want to build weapons again, you can go to me." Rest assured, you won't be charged a high price. β
Speaking of this, Gong Jiaheng paused, and the muscles on his face twitched a few times, "Why did you kid step on the valley again before leaving?!"
At that time, when Gong Jiaheng came out of the mountain, because of the continuous forging, his consciousness was a little trance, and he tripped over the pit, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood when he saw the leaf letter left by Shao Xuan.
"Ahem, that's a pretty good place. Shao Xuan hurriedly changed the topic, "When are you going to Wangcheng? Our tribe is about to go out to trade, when the time comes, I will go out with the tribe, and then go to Wangcheng." β
"Well, if you don't have a place to stay in Wangcheng, you can go to me, over there in Wangcheng, our Gongjia family lives together, and you will know when you go and ask. "Gong Jia Heng is still very happy that Shao Xuan can go to the royal city, "When the time comes, I will introduce you to a few masters of our Gong Jia family, what weapons do you want to fight in the future, you can go to them, oh, no, I will also be a master in the future hahahaha!"
Speaking of this, Gong Jiaheng's confidence that was hit by Shao Xuan's stone just now returned again.
The title of master is defined differently for different people.
In the Yanjiao tribe, the craftsmen who make weapons and repair weapons are called craftsmen, and other tribes are similar, but for those who are more particular, only those who have reached a certain level and have certain achievements will be called masters or craftsmen, otherwise they are all classified as ordinary craftsmen.
In the past, Gongjia Heng was also known as the boxer craftsman outside, but in the eyes of the Gongjia family and some aristocratic slave owners in the six cities, he was not qualified. But now, I went to Gongjia Mountain, learned some of the secret skills of my ancestors in the past, and improved my skills, and I can be called a master in the future.
In the past, Gongjiaheng was really arrogant, but this kind of arrogance was a bit empty, even if it was Gongjiaheng himself, when he was boasting, he would be a little cautious in his heart, after all, he was not a very good genius among the people in the box, otherwise he would not have been trapped for twenty years on the way to find Gongjia Mountain, and his influence in the six cities was not very big, not as good as some of the better people in the tribe.
But now, Gongjiaheng is confident that he will complete the counterattack after going back and become famous in the city!
Today's Gongjia Heng is like an ore that has been forged into a weapon, taking off its initial naΓ―ve body and becoming a more advanced and dazzling sword.
"Then thank you Master Heng first!"
"Hahaha polite! polite!" Gongjia Heng was a little happy, he had already imagined the situation when he returned to the royal city. However, after seeing the broken stone, I calmed down a lot.
Gong Jiaheng asked Shao Xuan for the stone that he had cut out, and he decided to use this stone as a test stone in the future.
"Our tribe makes knives, spears, and axes more suitable, can these weapons be created in quality comparable to this sword?" asked Shao Xuan.
"That's for sure!" replied Gong Jiaheng.
Because slave owners liked swords, there were many swords made by craftsmen among the many weapons, after all, there were not so many huge and fierce beasts where the slave owners were.
"What are your requirements for these weapons?" Even if you can't build it now, Gongjia Heng can think about it more, and Shao Xuan will also be prepared to go to him to build weapons in the future.
Shao Xuan thought for a while and said, "It's bigger, it's better when hunting." β
The corners of Gong Jiaheng's eyes twitched, and it was really the style of Yanjiao.
Shao Xuan told Gong Jia Heng a lot of skills in identifying stones, and in return, Gong Jia Heng also went to instruct the craftsmen of the tribe after talking to Zheng Luo. Seeing that the Taihe tribe was sour for a few days, he wanted to get some guidance from Gong Jia Heng, but there was no reason, Gong Jia Heng only said a few more words to the craftsmen of Yanjiao because Shao Xuan had helped him, as for the others, Master Heng was very high, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
The pride of the Crate people lies in the fact that even if they create a weapon in front of others, they believe that no one can build a weapon that surpasses them. Not to mention just pointing at the Yanjiao people on the side, there is no pressure on Gong Jiaheng.
In the two days that Gong Jia Heng stayed in the Yanjiao tribe, he fully felt the enthusiasm of the Yanjiao people, and when he left, he was also given a roasted beast leg, one leg was bigger than Gong Jia Heng's whole person. But for Gong Jiaheng, it was inconvenient to move in the forest with such a big beast leg, so he only cut off a piece and brought some dried meat before leaving.
Before leaving, Gong Jiaheng also told Shao Xuan that if Shao Xuan went to the royal city, he would also bring him some thousand grains of gold by the way, and in exchange, he would build another weapon. Although Gong Jiaheng didn't know much about the planting industry, he had seen a lot and could feel the special nature of those grains.
Hearing Gong Jiaheng's words, the people of Yanjiao had even stronger expectations for a thousand grains of gold.
On today's thousand-grain golden grains, the grains are like grapes, much larger than the soybean-sized grains that Shao Xuan saw at the beginning, and the heavy ears of grain hang down, waiting to be harvested when they are ripe.
Looking at the maturing thousand grains of gold, Shao Xuan thought, how is the old man of Jiju who discovered the thousand grains of gold with him now? The people of the Ji tribe should not have any problems, Shao Xuan plans to ask for advice when the time comes, and see if there is any other way to grow a thousand grains of gold.
