"Why is the eldest brother so generous today to give half of the apprentice to Elder Fang?" Lang Yan has been struggling with this question, and it stands to reason that the ghost axe will never agree.

A mysterious smile appeared on the face of the ghost axe: "The deity asks you, without the core components provided by Elder Fang, the deity can make an ink spirit puppet?"

"Oh-" Lang Yan suddenly realized and smiled, "It's worthy of being the eldest brother! It seems that the eldest brother attaches unusual importance to Han Fei." ”

Ji Lin came to the place where the craftsman had just entered, and Xue Ying was looking at him with a kind smile. He quickened his pace and came to Xue Ying, and said, "I'm sorry, I let Xue Lao wait for a long time." ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Xiaoyou is Ji Hanfei, he is really a dignified young man!" Xue Ying stroked his gray beard and smiled.

"Where, Xue Lao praised it. Ji Lin's face turned red and touched his nose, but he was a little embarrassed. He is not used to being praised by adults, his father has always been scolding, and he is not as outgoing as Chai Le, nor is he as easy-going as You Feng, so it is very unnatural for this situation.

"Let's go, follow the old man to meet Master Fang. Maybe he'll be very optimistic about Xiaoyou. Xue Ying smiled and led him to Fang You's workshop.

Fang You looked at Ji Lin for a while, then shook his head: "This kid doesn't have any masculinity at all, I'm afraid he can't even swing the hammer! Unless he can prove that he has this ability, I won't easily accept the apprentice." ”

Unexpectedly, Fang You was very dissatisfied when he saw Ji Lin's little white face. This made Xue Ying a little unexpected. Ji Lin said without humility or arrogance: "The master said that I can't swing the hammer, so please give me a hammer to try and see if I am the kind of little white face." Also, I'm not here to apprentice, I already have one. I'm here to learn from a teacher!"

Stealing a teacher to learn art?Does this kid know what this means?Xue Ying and Fang You were speechless at the same time. However, his bold words made Fang You have a little bit of a good impression of him, he really took a hammer, handed it to Ji Lin, and said: "Anyone can use their mouths, but what I want is real skills." Just show your hands!"

As soon as he took the hammer, Ji Lin almost didn't hold it. The hammer looked small, but it weighed at least fourteen pounds, but he picked it up anyway. Fourteen catties is not a lot of weight for the ink master, although there is a sense of discomfort at the beginning, Ji Lin quickly got used to this feeling. He swung the hammer again and made a few downward swings, Fang You looked at it and nodded slowly.

"How is this kid?" Xue Ying asked.

"It's barely enough. He said he had a master, do you know who it is?"

"That's the one, Master Devil. ”

"What, you said it was him!" the look on Fang You's face became serious, "It is said that he never accepts apprentices, and his unique skills are never passed on. was able to get the recognition of that strange boy, it seems that this kid is indeed not simple. ”

After playing with the hammer for a while, Ji Lin stepped forward and asked, "Old Fang, how is it?"

"You come with me. Fang You got up from his stool and walked towards the furnace in the room.

Ji Lin thought of something, looked at Xue Ying gratefully, and then turned back and walked towards the refining furnace. Xue Ying saw that as soon as the matter was done, he said hello to the two and left. Except for Yang Quan and Yang Wu, there was no third person in the Yuanyang Mansion who knew that Ji Lin was the son of that monsoon, and perhaps he couldn't think of going there at all. Ji Lin just introduced his name verbally, and others can also understand this "Ji" as "Ji", and more importantly, Ji Lin doesn't even have the slightest shadow of the monsoon.

"Boy, have you ever touched this aspect of forging before?" Fang You was preparing the materials for him to forge and asked casually.

"Never. Ji Lin gave him a negative answer. Just kidding, where can there be such a thing as a smelting furnace in a small thatched house deep in the mountains and old forests? His family is not a family of blacksmiths.

"Then why did you come to me to learn blacksmithing?" Fang You asked as he shoveled the charcoal into the furnace.

"Because I want to be the best inksmith in the world. Ji Lin replied categorically.

"Why do you want to become the number one inksmith in the world?" Fang You lit the stove and continued.

"I want to use my brain to imagine, use my hands to create, change people's lives, and benefit the common people! Ji Lin's eyes were blazing, and in the burning fire, he seemed to see the day when he would change the world in the future.

Fang You's next action came to an abrupt halt, he looked back at Ji Lin's resolute expression in a daze, and smiled dumbly: "It seems that your kid is indeed extraordinary, not only can you be recognized by the ghost axe, but even I have a little like you kid." Our Hammers need this kind of good man with ambition!"

But I'm already a member of the Axe Gang, and I don't like bad old men!" Ji Lin snickered in his heart. Also, he never said those words in front of the ghost axe and Lang Yan, and it was completely his good character.

The furnace fire is fueled by charcoal, and the temperature is not very high, but what Fang You wants to teach Ji Lin today does not need a particularly large temperature. Fang You clamped the hematite into the furnace with pliers, closed the small door, and pulled the bellows to let the air in, while estimating the time.

As soon as the time he had calculated in his heart was up, Fang You let go of the hand pulling the bellows, opened the furnace door, and used tongs to clip out the hematite that had become a sponge-like "block of iron". Fang You pointed to a piece of iron: "When the iron ore is like this, it can be forged." Pay attention to its color, and place it on the forge table in a split second. ”

Fang You said as he demonstrated. Ji Lin silently wrote it down. I saw Fang You wielding the iron hammer just now and smashing it on the piece of iron one by one, his movements were like flowing water, and he was extremely skillful. Ji Lin stared intently at the piece of iron, and silently counted the number of hammers, watching the piece of iron slowly become heavy under the impact of the hammer.

"Boy, don't underestimate this 'Thousand Tempers and Hundreds of Refining Block Refining Methods'! Although it is only an introductory technique, its essence lies not in the results, but in the fact that it can forge you into a man!" Because the sound of hammering was incessant, he said to Ji Lin very loudly.

Ji Lin nodded heavily: "Okay, I will definitely learn it perfectly!"

Fang You kept hammering, then returning to the furnace to refine again, and kept hammering...... The cycle repeats itself, and the action is dizzyingly fast.

Time flies like a white horse in the sound of the hammer smashing the iron. As the final quenching was completed, he clamped the results and put them back on the forging table for Ji Lin to observe.

Ji Lin, who had counted the number of hammer blows, was frightened the moment before quenching, and kept swallowing his saliva, Fang You swung out a full thousand hammers! Fang You really made a hundred steels, almost no impurities, and it was extremely pure. From the dull black-red hematite to the metallic luster of 100 steel, it has completed its "reincarnation".

"Boy, it's almost ready!"

This time, it was Ji Lin who went into battle in person.

He followed Fang You's example and put the iron ore into the furnace, closed the furnace door, and pulled the bellows with his hand. He also silently calculated the time, he had a good "sense of time", and he also had a bottom in his heart about the time when Fang You was smelting iron ore just now. He counted with his eyes closed, and Fang You looked at him with interest: Could it be that this kid can still estimate the time of iron-making?

The moment he opened his eyes, he let go of the grip of the bellows, and quickly pulled out the piece of iron. Looking at it closely, the shape of this piece of ironmaking is like a sponge, he couldn't help but look at it twice, and he was afraid that the iron would cool down immediately, so he picked up the hammer and smashed it the iron, unhurried, anxious for fear of smashing the air and affecting the efficiency, slow for fear of affecting the quality.

Each room on both sides of the Hammer Gang and the Axe Gang in the Craftsman's Gate is completely symmetrical, and it is a structure that is far away and then close, so that Fang You's house is very close to the house of the Ghost Axe, and there is only a useless dark room in the middle. When Fang You taught Ji Lin the block refining method, this dark room was cleaned up, and tonight, Ji Lin would be able to live in it.

He was already sweating like rain, and his rain-soaked clothes were finally dried, and now he was soaked again. My arm was also very sore, but there was still a lot of strength left for the miraculous thing. Fang You was secretly shocked in his heart, this kid's potential is limitless!

Next door next door, the ghost axe heard the clanging sound coming from that side, and couldn't calm down, so he simply laid down the sound barrier and fell asleep.

It seems that none of the Hammer Gang craftsmen could get a quiet night's sleep that night. It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that the world finally quieted down. Ji Lin finally completed the "Tempering of a Thousand Tempers" with difficulty, quenching, and before he could take it out, he collapsed and collapsed. The sound of even breathing came from his nose, and he fell asleep without even extinguishing the fire.

Fang You sighed and praised sincerely: "This kid is really capable of fighting! I have never seen such a hard-working kid, and I was not as good as him back then." It's a pity, it's a pity, such a good young man, but he was preempted by that little ghost, this guy who mistook people's children!"

"Ahh

"Uh-huh...... Do you have a cold? I'm going to ...... tomorrow" Devilaxe suddenly sneezed and muttered in a daze, as if he was talking in a dream. Before he could finish speaking, he fell asleep again.

The hundred steels that Ji Lin hadn't had time to take out in the bucket were clamped out by Fang You in time. He checked the quality of the steel, and looked at the sleeping Ji Lin in surprise, his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Good girl, is this kid a genius? Old Xue, this time I owe you a great favor. Okay, I can't let this kid sleep on the ground like this, or the imp will squeeze me again. After talking to himself for a while, Fang You moved Ji Lin to his own bed, extinguished the fire with ashes, and sat on a stool against the wall to sleep.

Finally, another day passed, and the pace of war was getting closer and closer. The bloody battle in February, the battle between Yuan Yang and Rong Ge, is about to kick off!
