Chapter 21: Xuanyang Valley
Xuanyang Valley is located behind Qixiu Peak, and Qicanghai's Secluded Xuan has another shortcut to Xuanyang Valley, without passing through the Qixiu Peak mountain gate.
"Young Master Qi Tian. Out of the quiet Xuan, Qi Wanyun said to Qi Tian as he walked: "Refining is not as simple as you think, you have to be prepared to endure hardships and hardships." ”
"Uncle Wanyun...... Belch...... By the way, I'm going to change my name to Master in the future. Qi Tian said solemnly: "Master, you can rest assured of this, Tian'er knows that a lot of time has been wasted in the past few years, from today on, I have decided to cultivate the way of the artifact, glorify the lintel of the Qi family, no matter how hard and tired I am, I will never frown." ”
"Okay, since Young Master Qi Tian is so determined, I will give it to you. Qi Wanyun didn't take Qi Tian's words to heart, although this kid has made a great vow now, but looking at his thin skin and tender flesh, weak and slender body, it is difficult to say whether he can hold the refining hammer, maybe seeing the hard work of the refining tool, he will retreat.
Qi Wanyun didn't say what was in his heart, he always thought that it was impossible for Qi Tian to persevere, and when the time came, he retreated, and it was not his own fault, and the head of the family would not punish him.
However, when Qi Wanyun didn't say anything to give up, Qi Wanyun still adhered to the responsibility of being a master, and said some inspirational words to Qi Tian along the way, and after a short time, he came to the mouth of Xuanyang Valley.
Qi Tian saw a towering archway erected in front of him, more majestic than the mountain gate of Qixiu Peak, on the beam above the archway, there are three golden big characters 'Xuanyang Valley', each word has a zhang square, the penmanship is vigorous and powerful, and the font dragon flies and phoenix dances. When Qi Tian saw these three big words, he was not speechless, these three words were actually made of pure gold!
"So domineering!" These three words seem to contain a kind of coercion, which makes Qi Tian feel a sense of oppression in the face of lofty mountains, and he praises from the bottom of his heart.
"yes. Qi Wanyun looked up at the majestic plaque, his eyes full of respect: "It is said that these three words were written by the first generation of Qitang Hall masters, and they have been standing here for 10,000 years. ”
Passing through the archway, it is the Xuanyang Valley that is famous all over the Xuanwu Continent.
There are no less than 200,000 disciples in the Qitang, except for women, children, old and young, and the rest are all working in Xuanyang Valley.
Xuanyang Valley seems to be artificially excavated, the cliffs on both sides of the valley seem to be cut into two mirrors by divine weapons, and the mountain walls are smooth and flat, almost reflecting the human figure.
The valley is about 100 zhang wide, and the two sides are built with hard bluestone into two rows of tall stone workshops, and the middle of the stone workshop is also separated into rooms with bluestone, each room has an area of 100 zhang, and the sound of heavy objects beating is heard in the room.
In the middle of the valley is a long corridor as wide as ten zhang, this long corridor has been straight to the bottom of the valley of Xuanyang Valley, each stone pillar has two people hugging, there are several zhang high, the corridor is built graceful and luxurious, generous and elegant, there is a tall and majestic bearing.
The cyan stone pillars, the golden railing, can not see the end at a glance, after Qi Wanyun Jianshao, Qi Tian knew that this corridor is more than ten miles long, divided into 2730 rooms, each of which has a Seiko carved pattern on the sill, the pattern depicts a variety of refining techniques, tens of thousands of depictions no two are the same.
Qi Tian couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the people in the Xuanwu Continent, this corridor is not only a work of art, but also a huge treasure trove of knowledge.
The promenade is like a wide air duct, walking in it, there is a cool breeze blowing in your face, in this hot midsummer, it is refreshing and pleasant, and you don't feel a little bit of midsummer heat.
"Master. Qi Tian asked puzzledly: "It stands to reason that the current season, coupled with the high temperature emitted by the countless furnaces on both sides, Xuanyang Valley should be like a big steamer, why do I feel so refreshed now?"
"Hehe, you'll understand in a moment. Qi Wanyun smiled mysteriously and walked forward quickly with Qi Tian.
Due to Qi Wanyun's speeding pace, Qi Tian didn't have time to look at the lifelike refining techniques carved on the horizontal sill along the way.
"You have time to study these pictures later, and I'll take you to the place where you refine the weapon first. Qi Wanyun explained as he walked.
"Uh. Qi Tian agreed absentmindedly, and his attention was all on the stone workshops on both sides, and the sound of banging from the stone workshops made him proud in his chest.
Attracted by the sound of the refining weapon, he forgot the existence of time, and he didn't know how long it had been, when he suddenly heard Qi Wanyun's voice coming: "This is it." ”
Retracting his thoughts, Qi Tian found that he had reached the end of the corridor, and walked out of the corridor, which was the end of Xuanyang Valley.
The picture in front of him made him even more turbulent in his heart.
I saw not far in front, a huge waterfall of a hundred feet, hanging high in front, the waterfall went down vertically, splashed with bursts of water, below is a deep pool, the water is clear, there are some fish swimming happily.
There is a huge windmill placed on the edge of the waterhole, and the impact of the waterfall causes the windmill to spin rapidly, forming a cool breeze, and the wind also carries cool water vapor into the Xuanyang Valley.
"It turned out that this windmill blew away the heat of Xuanyang Valley!" Qi Tian's eyes revealed a shocking light: "I don't know who came up with such a way to defy the sky......"
"Hehe, it is said that this is also the handwriting of the predecessor of the first generation of Qitang Hall Master Wan Zhongkun, and everything in the valley, including the promenade we just passed, was completed under his design. Qi Wanyun explained Qi Tian's confusion again, and when he said Wan Zhongkun's name, his tone was full of admiration.
"This is your refining room, and the master of the house left this place for you ten years ago. Qi Wanyun pointed to a separate stone chamber closest to the waterfall and said to Qi Tian: "This is the best location in the entire Xuanyang Valley, I hope that Young Master Qi Tian can achieve something great here, and not disappoint the family master." ”
This stone chamber is at the very end of the Xuanyang Valley, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is pleasant, not only these, but also because of the location closest to the windmill here, it is even cooler.
Qi Tian is very satisfied with this place, the quality of the environment, directly affects the mood, there is no suitable environment, how to calm down to work?
The space of the stone room is not small, there is an area of dozens of zhang, the furnishings inside are not luxurious, it can be said that it is very simple, a stone case, a huge charcoal stove, and some unsmelted ores are stacked in the corner.
"Next, I will teach you the most basic refining techniques. Qi Wanyun said, his palm gently raised towards the charcoal stove, and a flame actually gave birth to a flame in his palm, instantly igniting the charcoal in the charcoal stove.
Qi Tian stared at Qi Wanyun's palm, his eyes were full of incredulity: "Master, how can your palm breathe fire?"
This picture, which can only be found in TV dramas, appeared in front of him alive, and Qi Tian couldn't help but be shocked.
"What's strange about this? Most of our Qi family have a fire attribute physique, and when your realm rises to a certain level, you can easily stimulate flames. ”
While speaking, Qi Wanyun glanced at Qi Tian, and saw that he was still the appearance of the triple qi martial realm, and couldn't help but secretly purse his mouth, this kid didn't have a good foundation, and he wanted to cultivate to the point of emitting flames, but he didn't know that he would have to wait until the year of the monkey and the moon, it seems that this kid wants to learn to refine weapons, and he can only use the energy of charcoal fire in this life.
"When will the flames be emitted? Won't there be no need to waste charcoal then?" Qi Tian looked at his palm, the palm was smooth and soft, and after using several forces, he didn't want to appear a flame at all, and even his white palm didn't even mean a little redness.
"At least the peak of the Xuanwu Realm, you are still far from that stage, take your time, and one day you will cultivate to that realm. "Qi Wanyun didn't hit Qi Tian.
"The refining is about the use of the hammer method, that is, the speed and consistency of the hammer drop. Qi Wanyun put a piece of ore on the charcoal stove and explained to Qi Tian: "You can swing nine hammers in a row in a breath of time, and you have the ability to forge real weapons......
"It's that simple?" Qi Tian said with a wink.
"Simple?" Qi Wanyun turned his head and said solemnly: "Young Master Qi Tian, don't jump to conclusions if you don't do anything yourself, with my eyesight, you can hit twice in a row now, you already have an amazing talent, even if your father, who was known as the first prodigy of the Qitang at that time, could only drop three hammers in a row when he first refined the weapon." ”
"It can't be such an exaggeration, right?" Qi Tian was a little incredulous.
At this time, the ore in the carbon furnace had been burned red, Qi Wanyun used a large iron tong to clip the ore out and put it on the stone case, in fact, with Qi Wanyun's strength, the ore could be taken out in the air, but in order to demonstrate to Qi Tian, he could only do this.
Qi Wanyun took out a big hammer and said to Qi Tian: "Look at it, only by dropping the hammer in this way can you refine a high-grade weapon." ”
Qi Wanyun rolled up his sleeves, revealing his prickly muscles, rounded the hammer, and smashed it towards the ore, and the hard ore was smashed out of a big pit by him with a hammer!
Qi Tian watched Qi Wanyun's movements intently from the sidelines, he had to learn to refine weapons as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to build a powerful gun at all. He originally lived in a modern world, and he didn't have to think about equipment at all to make guns, but the Xuanwu Continent was different, there was no such advanced technology, and there was no place to sell semi-finished equipment, so he could only build equipment by himself.
"You try. Qi Wanyun handed the hammer to Qi Tian.
"So heavy!" Qi Tian looked at the hammer that was only two fists big, and didn't look at it at all, feeling that it weighed only ten catties at best, but he didn't think that as soon as he received the hammer, he didn't hold it steady, and the hammer slammed on the ground.
"This is the Xingyue Treasure Hammer left to you by the head of the family, and the hammer weighs one hundred and eight catties. ”
"No wonder!" Qi Tian spat into the palm of his hand: "One hundred and eight catties can't bother me." ”
The words were spoken, but he forgot the weakness of his current body, the weight of more than 100 catties, on this body, it was already overloaded, not to mention the strength to drop the hammer.
"Hey!"
Holding back his face and red ears, he finally lifted the Xingyue Treasure Hammer.
"Bang dang!"
When the hammer fell, it was off target.
"It's so hard. Qi Tian rubbed his arm that was numb from the shock, sighed and said.
"Refining is not so easy to learn, if Young Master Qi Tian feels that he can't do it, it's still too late to stop at this time. Qi Wanyun said coldly on the side, he was using his own methods to motivate Qi Tian.
"Who said I can't!" Qi Tian's dictionary does not have the word failure, and he must not let anyone look down on him, his stubborn energy surged into his heart, picked up the sledgehammer, and continued to smash the ore......
