Wang Yangming saw that the sky was already bright, and he expected to go out to continue training his Eagle Yang Army later, so he ran Zhou Tian cross-legged at the moment, practiced Jiuyang Shengong on his body several times, cleared up his sleepiness, put on his military uniform after breakfast, and went to the school to train the army.

Qi Jiguang made up for sleep during the day, and after getting up, he copied a copy of the new performance book to Boyan and sent it to Boyan, and said goodbye to Boyan. Boyan stayed for a while, and Qi Jiguang said that the Northern Army was still waiting for him to go back to report the situation, and he didn't dare to delay, so Boyan had to send him away. He knew that Wang Yangming was training the Eagle Yang Army, so he didn't bother him anymore, and took his entourage to get on his horse and leave.

In the following month, Wang Yangming trained his army every day, gradually increasing the intensity of training for them, from the beginning of running 100 miles a day, to running 15 miles with a weight of 100 pounds, and finally running 20 miles with a weight of 100 pounds, and the number of push-ups slowly increased from 100 to 500 per day.

Although these soldiers were miserable under his training, they did not dare to resist because of his authority, and slowly, after these people got used to Wang Yangming's training methods, they did not feel that it was so hard at the beginning. Everyone looked at their increasingly majestic body, and felt that they had gained a lot, and thought that if it weren't for Wang Yangming's devil training method, they would never have achieved such results in just one month.

In this month, in addition to physical training, what Wang Yangming never forgot was to practice the formation. He arranged the ninety-nine people one by one, and successively drilled the Heaven Covering Array, the Earth Carrying Array, the Snake Banner Array, and the Eagle Roaring Array, all of which were relatively simple, and after three or four days of repeated practice, they would have a good appearance.

After that, he began to let everyone focus on practicing Qi Jiguang's Mandarin Duck Formation, which tested the tacit understanding between everyone the most, and it was not easy to train. Wang Yangming divided the ninety-nine men into eight small mandarin duck formations, twelve people each, and finally the three followed him to form a camp of overseers. These eight small formations can not only fight alone, but also can be combined in pairs, three-three, four-four, and so on to form a slightly larger mandarin duck array, and the eight formations together are a big mandarin duck array. After a month of repeated practice, it finally looked like it, but the formation was even more endless than the martial arts, and this mandarin duck array was still far from being perfect.

On the tenth day, Chang'an City finally shipped the Tiangang hammer mentioned by the fourth and fifth senior brothers, this hammer is made of pure gold, and I don't know how many times I have practiced in the charcoal fire, and I can't see the original color for a long time, but the whole body is as black as ink.

Chen Ba first carried the hammer like the wind, and knocked down a few pieces on the 1,000 catties of dark iron, which was exactly 100 catties after weighing. and Lu Fengxian set up the Tianhuo gossip furnace together, Wang Yangming selected four wrestlers in the army every day, and pulled up two huge bellows to supply the stove with fire, and he paid out of his own pocket every day to give the four sergeants a subsidy of five taels of silver.

It turns out that the reason why this Tianhuo Bagua Furnace is called Tianhuo is because its furnace body is ten times larger than that of ordinary forging furnaces, and the bellows are also several times larger than ordinary bellows, so the flames produced are far hotter than ordinary fires. Thanks to the fact that Sergeant Eagle Yang is a strong man, he can pull the bellows so that the flame in the furnace will not be extinguished.

All the fires in the world are divided into four kinds: red, purple, blue and white, the lowest one is called red fire, because its flame is red, followed by purple fire, the flame is purple, and then above is the earth fire, the flame is cyan, and the hottest one is the heavenly fire, because it has the highest temperature, and the flame is white. The flame born in the Heavenly Fire Bagua Furnace is pure white, and only this flame can be forged into a rigid and hard black iron.

Chen Lu and the others took turns to come to forge the dark iron with the Tiangang hammer, and they didn't have to forge it every day, most of the time they just let the heavenly fire burn the dark iron, and only when it burned to a certain stage, they used the Tiangang hammer to forge and finalize it, and then let it be burned.

In the second month, Wang Yangming no longer let everyone boil their strength, but took them out to try to survive in the desert wind and sand. He had each person carry only three days' rations, but he had to survive in the desert for a month. Not to mention the lack of water and food, we also have to endure high temperatures during the day, severe cold at night, the invasion of wind and sand, and all kinds of inhuman torture.

Under such conditions, these people had to practice formations every day, find water and food in the desert, and let these veterans endure a deep mental and physical torture.

In only thirty days, these people have undergone tremendous changes, the most obvious thing is that they have become very silent, no matter marching, resting, and manipulating formations, they do not speak much, because speaking consumes physical strength, and their physical strength does not allow such a waste.

A month later, when they returned to the barracks, each of them inexplicably emitted a fierce smell, and their steps were as silent as wild wolves, as silent as the rocks in the desert that had been exposed to the sun for thousands of years. Ordinary sergeants didn't dare to get too close to them, as if these people were ready to riot and hurt people at any moment, and their eyes were full of vigilance and indifference.

Boyan heard about the deeds of these people who came back from the desert, and secretly said that Wang Yangming's ruthless training was really unheard of. Among these people, there are many veteran oils, but none of them dare to resist Wang Yangming's order, it seems that this kid really has some means, and he is not in vain to cultivate him like this.

On the fifty-ninth day, Wang Yangming rushed back to the barracks to see the forging of the dark iron, and found that Chen Lu and the others had almost made the dark iron, but they did not dare to let the sword come out of the furnace and cold quench. Wang Yangming asked why, Chen Ba first said: "Little junior brother, I and Lao Wu have been building weapons for five or six years, but we have never seen such a situation, obviously the forging of Xuantie has been completed, but this sword just refuses to be formed no matter what." I don't think it's a problem with fire, it's not a problem with blacksmithing, it's probably the one mentioned in the book. ”

Wang Yangming listened inexplicably and wondered, and he didn't know what kind of problem he was talking about. Lu Feng said first: "The little junior brother doesn't know anything. In ancient times, there was a sword-casting master named Ou Yezi, who left a book called "The Book of Words", which mentioned that some weapons formed a sword spirit in the process of forging for various indescribable reasons, and this sword spirit is the soul of the sword, and no one can say what the specific characteristics are. It's just that any weapon that forms a sword spirit must be a divine weapon. But this sword spirit is the taboo of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and God will not let it take shape easily. Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless someone sacrifices his blood and lets the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods let him go, this sword can be born. ”

Wang Yangming heard this, and without saying a word, he took the dagger, cut his chest, wrapped a handful of blood water with real power, and sprinkled it into the heavenly furnace. Chen and Lu didn't have time to stop him, and sighed: "Little junior brother, you are really an anxious son. What Ou Yezi said was just the words of the family, and no one in the world knew whether what he said was true or not. If he was just joking, your half catty of blood wouldn't have been shed in vain. ”

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, there was a sudden loud bang in the heavenly furnace, and the three of them instinctively jumped away with all their strength in a hurry, but the furnace had already exploded into powder in an instant. Fortunately, the three of them had very high martial arts skills and avoided the explosion of furnace bricks and flames. After a while, the flames on the ground were burned out, and when the three of them went to look, they saw that there was a big sword lying where the original heavenly fire furnace was, the body of the sword was as black as dyed ink, but it flashed a strange red light from time to time under the light of the sun.
