Chapter Fifty-Three: Before the Blade Appears, the Blade Appears!

After a long time, the knocking sound in the blacksmith kept ringing, and finally the man couldn't help it, and walked downstairs to the blacksmith shop opposite

Before he approached the door, he felt a scorching heat, and the man was a little shocked, why was the temperature of the fire so high? He hurriedly sped a few steps to the door, and suddenly saw a scene that made him dumbfounded.

Xiang Mu was half naked at this time, and the hammer in his hand struck the weapon that was about to take shape again and again, and the fire in the furnace actually overflowed out of the furnace mouth, surrounding Xiang Mu like a ring of fire.

The man opened his mouth wide, looking at this magical scene, and everyone was stupid.

"Drink!" Xiang Mu shouted, and the hammer in his hand swung down heavily, and there seemed to be a golden light passing between the hammer and the weapon, Xiang Mu stopped the hammer in his hand, frowned and did not move.

"Quenching... Quenching Feng?! The man at the door saw that Xiang Mu didn't move, and hurriedly reminded him, Xiang Mu turned his head in surprise, he knew that the man was coming, but he didn't care much, he didn't expect the man to know how to forge, but this is also reasonable, after all, this blacksmith shop was opened by his grandfather.

"No... Even if he was quenched, he still couldn't reach the level he wanted. Xiang Mu shook his head, although this knife was good, even if it was completely beaten, it would not be able to achieve Xiang Mu's expected effect.

"Is it the material?" The man asked aloud, and he had already seen the billet with several knives placed next to Xiang Mu.

"It's not." Xiang Mu shook his head, even if the material was limited, but Xiang Mu was sure that he was not 100% efficient with his current iron.

"You... Can you give me another fight? The man suddenly asked, Xiang Mu was a little surprised, but he also nodded, and then he didn't ink, directly controlled the furnace fire, and started to make a new blank.

After a set of operations, Xiang Mu had another knife blank in his hand, just like before, Xiang Mu sighed slightly, what is the difference? He has been forging for the past few days, but he has always missed something.

"Your skills... Impeccable·· I'm not a blacksmith, but I'm struck by your skill. The man complimented Xiang Mu.

"I've won a prize..." Xiang Mu smiled slightly, he didn't deny that the Thirteen Flame Forgings were indeed very dazzling.

The man stepped forward and touched the knife blank that Xiang Mu had made before, and there was still some residual heat on it.

"My name is Luo Feng, I don't know what to call it?" Luo Fengxiang introduced himself to Mu.

"Xiangmu." Xiang Mu put down the knife blank in his hand and showed it to Luo Feng to observe, Luo Feng just let him see it if he wanted to, he was nothing.

"To be honest, I think your skills are better than my grandfather's." Luo Feng said with a wry smile, he didn't expect Xiang Mu to have such skills at such a young age.

"Whew... It's just opportunistic for a while, and compared with the real blacksmith who has been silent for many years, there are still many shortcomings. Xiang Mu shook his head and said, he only learned the Thirteen Forging of Flames, maybe he is talented, but compared with the blacksmith who has been immersed in orthodoxy for many years, I am afraid it is still a lot worse, just like the iron mountain, even if you don't need to look at it, you can build equipment, and he naturally can't do it.

"I may not be able to give you any more advice on technique, but I remember my grandfather once saying that iron is like a man, it is easy to bend, and only a combination of rigidity and softness is the best state." Luo Feng touched the knife blank and said to Xiang Mu, he could feel that the wide blank was very hard.

"Just over easy to fold?" Xiang Mu squinted slightly, he also picked up his knife blank and gently stroked it with his fingers, but if it wasn't strong, how could it be powerful?

Xiang Mu began to recall the process of forging himself, and gradually his eyes lit up, because he found a blind spot in himself, he blindly forged the weapon harder, under the hammer blowing, although the billet became stronger, but it lacked the toughness brought by the raw materials, not only hard, but tough!

At this moment, Xiang Mu suddenly realized that softness is not necessarily soft, but it may also be tough, which happened to be the point he ignored, and he was very excited to heat the fire again.

"Thanks for the pointers." Xiang Mu smiled at Luo Feng, Luo Feng was a little puzzled, seeing Xiang Mu heating the furnace fire, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, it seemed that Xiang Mu was going to forge again.

"The furnace temperature should not be too high..." Xiang Mu focused more on the fire this time, he used to melt iron at a high temperature, although it can promote the formation of iron blocks, but its essence has been filtered out a lot, just like cooking, if it is too cooked, it will ruin the original taste of the ingredients.

"Ding... Boom! The rhythm of striking the wooden hammer has changed, and the difference between one light and one heavy is not the same as before, and Luo Feng on the side was also very surprised, he also noticed the change in swinging the hammer towards the wood.

"Wow..." There seems to be a wind around Xiangmu, and the furnace fire surrounds Xiangmu as before, but between swinging the hammer to Xiangmu, the furnace fire also seems to breathe, and it actually begins to change, the fire circle is formed and then dispersed and then formed, as if there is life, Luo Feng's eyes widened next to him, this scene is not magical.

"Ding-dong····· Ding Dong..." Xiang Mu's speed is getting faster and faster, and he has gradually felt that he seems to be about to cross a certain hurdle, which is the place that has been bothering Xiang Mu all this time.

"Whew... Whew..." Xiang Mu's breathing became short, and Luo Feng, who was watching nervously next to him, seemed to be aware at this time, and looked nervously at Xiang Mu wielding a hammer.

The sound of percussion became tighter and tighter, and the temperature in the room began to change violently, and it was a little cold when it was hot, but it was not a physical cold, but a sharp cold.

"Before the blade is revealed, the edge is shown first!" On the side, Luo Feng covered his mouth with his hand in shock, his eyes were about to fall, he had heard his grandfather tell him all kinds of legends about forging when he was a child, and the blacksmith also had his own legends, and now this situation is one that Luo Feng has heard.

"Drink!" Xiang Mu shouted, and the hammer in his hand actually lit up with golden light, shaking across the room, so that Luo Feng couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Ding!" The sound of this percussion was not the same as before, which made Luo Feng's heart flutter, mellow and the finishing touch. This is the feeling that rises in Luo Feng's heart.

When Luo Feng opened his eyes after a long time, he suddenly found that the knife in Xiang Mu's hand had been completed at this time, and the cold knife light made Luo Feng feel the cold meaning at just a glance.

"Cheng... It's done? Luo Feng asked in surprise, he didn't expect that his trance would have passed so long.

"It's finished." Xiang Mu smiled and nodded, he was very satisfied with the knife, and he finally crossed the hurdle that had plagued him for several days.

"This knife... Can you show me? Luo Feng stepped forward, staring at the knife in Xiang Mu's hand with a little stunned eyes, and said to Xiang Mu.

Xiang Mu handed the knife over, Luo Feng took it with both hands, Luo Feng gently stroked the smooth blade, and there was a chill in it.

"Grandpa······ If you're in... You're going to be happy, right? Someone can make something like this..." Luo Feng muttered to himself, tears flashed in his eyes, Xiang Mu was a little surprised on the side, he didn't expect Luo Feng to be a little touched at this moment, he didn't speak, and quietly watched Luo Feng stroke the long knife.

"I'm sorry... Gaffe..." After a while, Luo Feng came back to his senses, put down the long knife and wiped his eyes with his hands, apologized to Xiang Mu, and shook his head at Xiang Mu.

"You wait a minute..." Luo Feng suddenly said a word to Xiang Mu, and then walked over the blacksmith platform into the backyard, Xiang Mu was a little puzzled, and after a while, Luo Feng walked over with difficulty holding a fist-sized stone in both hands.

Xiang Mu was surprised, is this stone that heavy? Luo Feng is a young man, so he won't have to work so hard to get a stone, right?
