Chapter 561: Sword Forging Technique
The chatter between the two is naturally inseparable from the affairs of the sect. [No pop-ups]
"In half a year, it will be the rookie tea party of the five major sects, and then we old people may be able to get together. Jiang Qianyuan said with a smile.
"What's going on with the rookie tea party?" Wei Wuji had never heard anyone talk about it, so he asked in surprise.
"You don't know this?" Jiang Qianyuan's turn was surprised.
He told Wei Wuji that the disciples of the five major sects who had newly promoted to the Qi Refining Realm would gather together and communicate with each other. Such an exchange is held once a year, and the five major sects take turns to preside over it. The age of the participating disciples cannot be more than twenty years old, and each person only has one chance to participate, because until the next time, they cannot be counted as rookies.
Since it is an exchange between the five major sects, it is inevitable that they will make a move, and then there will be winners and losers. As long as you win in the exchange, you will be rewarded. However, for disciples, rewards are secondary, and the most important thing is to be able to stand out and enter the eyes of the elders of the sect.
"This exchange happened to be presided over by our Guiyuan Sect, I don't know how many old people I can see. Jiang Qianyuan said with a smile.
Wei Wuji smiled and nodded. Shi Wen, Shi Ziyi, Wei Yijian, Han Yuxin, etc., a group of contestants from Linjiang Mansion City were suddenly mentioned by Jiang Qianyuan, and Wei Wuji also missed some things in his heart.
Time passes imperceptibly in small talk.
The ancestor of the Jiang family, Elder Jiang Yizhou of the Sword Casting Valley, returned to the mansion. Wei Wuji stepped forward to see, and after being polite, he asked Jiang Yizhou about sword casting.
"You two, come with me, talk about it a hundred times, why don't you demonstrate it under your hands. Jiang Yizhou pondered for a moment and took the two to the sword-forging D in the backyard.
There was darkness in Sword Forge D, and the flaming red star rose upward. The three disciples were swinging their hammers, forging a piece of reddish stubborn iron, and when they saw Jiang Yizhou walking in, they hurriedly hugged their fists and bowed to their master.
As long as the hammer is in hand and the red iron is still on the felt, this forging cannot be stopped. Jiang Yizhou said to the three disciples.
The three disciples agreed, and continued to swing the hammer, and the clanging sound rang out.
"Cultivators will temper their muscles and bones in the realm of quenching their bodies and using iron, but the techniques of the sect are very different from those of the world. The technique of swinging the hammer is a kind of martial art, and the exercise works, transmitting the innate true qi and acting on the forged red iron. The iron forged in this way, even ordinary black iron, will undergo amazing changes. ”
Jiang Yizhou told Wei Wuji and Jiang Qianyuan about the common sense of wrought iron,
"The cultivator should use the blade like an arm. It is necessary to integrate one's own qi and blood into the cast blade, so that it is easy to resonate. Therefore, the swordsmith helps people to cast, and the final process must take the essence of the weapon's owner and integrate it into the forged blade......"
"There are many ways to resonate with the blade, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. But in the realm of sword forging, the best way to resonate more perfectly with the blade is to forge the blade yourself. ”
When Jiang Yizhou said this, he looked at Wei Wuji, "Wuji, are you looking for someone to help you forge a sword, or do you want to forge a sword yourself?"
"The younger generation wants to forge their own swords. Wei Wuji replied with his fists clenched.
"If you forge your own sword, then you have to start from scratch, and if you keep swinging the hammer like this, and practice for seven or eight years, maybe there will be some effect. After ten years, the blade you create can be called the Divine Blade in the world. Fifteen years later, if you are willing to work hard, the blades you build can be sold at a price in Guiyuan City. Twenty years later, if you don't give up, you may be able to make a name for yourself, and most sect disciples know that the blades you forged are genuine. ”
Jiang Yizhou said this, paused, and continued,
"Thirty years later, Mowgli, if you continue to study the way of sword forging, the new disciples of the sect will come to you and beg you to build a blade for them. After forty years, the sect will appoint you as a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall and other branches to specialize in forging blades, because they have no time to take care of other things, and will only concentrate on cultivating strength......"
"Hehe, Wuji, I am telling you so much, just to tell you that you have cultivated the way of sword casting for forty years and forged blades by yourself, so it is better to ask the people of Sword Casting Valley to help you forge blades. Now, if you think about it carefully, do you still want to cultivate sword casting?"
After Jiang Yizhou finished speaking, he looked at Wei Wuji with a smile, waiting for his answer.
"Qi senior, Wuji still wants to cultivate by himself. ”
Wei Wuji clenched his fists and bowed to Jiang Yizhou, "I don't know what will happen if you persevere?"
"Well, I'll tell you all. ”
Jiang Yizhou smiled, "If you can persist until fifty years, and the study of sword forging will never stop, the blade you create can be appreciated by the elders and hall masters of the Guiyuan Sect, but it is not a fine product." Sixty years later, the blade you forged can be appreciated by the people of the Guiyuan Sect, including the sect master. Even the swordsmiths of other sects will also have great respect for you. ”
"In the years to come, you will travel all over the famous mountains and rivers, go in and out of various secret realms, and search for sword casting materials. Because at that time, you are no longer separated from the sword, and you live to forge the sword, to forge the sword that surpasses your last time. In the process of forging swords, you may slowly comprehend some of the laws of the Heavenly Dao, mysterious and mysterious. Time passes slowly, and you go on like this until the end of your life. ”
After listening to Jiang Yizhou's words, Wei Wuji lowered his head and groaned, and then bowed down, "Senior, I still want to try it myself." I don't know how far I can go, but at this moment, I have made up my mind, how can I be willing if I don't try it myself?"
Jiang Yizhou nodded and smiled, "Okay, the old man will show you something." The basic of forging a sword is to forge iron, in fact, this is also the basis of all casting, and your first step of cultivation is this. ”
The disciples who were standing on the side, hearing that the master was going to demonstrate in person, hurriedly put the iron into the furnace, pulled the bellows, and whirred! The flames rose more than a foot high, and after a while, the iron was burned red.
Jiang Yizhou stretched out his hand and took it in the air, as if an invisible big hand reached out, grabbed the iron, took it out of the stove, and put it on the iron felt. He caught the iron in the air with one hand, kept turning it, and with the other hand the hammer fell, striking the iron accurately, sparks splashed and clanged, and the sound of the hammer carried a certain flavor, like music.
Wei Wuji's divine consciousness and mind locked every movement of Jiang Yizhou, as if he was facing a great enemy, observing every movement and every detail of the other party. It includes the operation of the true qi in the body, which is transmitted to the iron hammer through the meridians, and after beating, it is integrated into the iron block.
Gradually, Wei Wuji felt that the forged iron had a slight connection with Jiang Yizhou.
