In mid-August, the weather was cool.

The forging room was in full swing, with a bellows blowing, the flames rolling, and the sound of striking iron.

"The Autumn Water Sword is made of cold iron, dark iron, mixed with red gold, if you want to play the best, the first thing is to refine the black iron, and melt the cold iron and red gold in one ......

After that, the folding forging method is used to fold more than 18 times, and the iron must be stacked to 32,000 layers......

There are sixteen different liquids in quenching, such as cold pool water and spirit ox blood...... ......and so on."

Li Yuan didn't seem to hear the sound of hammers one after another, immersed in the non-stop forging process.

The forging technique is far more complicated than the white ape mantle hammer, and each type of weapon has a different forging technique, and there are many differences between the same sword.

The forging technique of the Qiushui sword is not cumbersome in the sword, and most blacksmiths often choose this sword when choosing to forge the first superb blade.

While!

While!

The forging hammer flew up and down, hammering the red-hot iron, dense and even, and the strength of each hammer was just right, no more, no less.

"The Hammer Talent also has a great buff for forging......

Sparks splashed everywhere, and Li Yuan condensed his mind.

With the blessing of hammer talent, he seems to have really become a genius.

When the forging hammer rises and falls, he can even feel whether the force of the iron under the hammer is uniform, where there are more impurities, and the degree of fire is ......

This is a huge increase in blacksmithing, which is self-evident.

It normally takes ten days to fold and forge, but it is completed in just five days.

"It's a pity that quenching can't be so intuitive......

The process of forging, Li Yuan had already memorized it by heart, and with the blessing of the perfect-level hammer technique and hammer talent, he had almost touched the threshold of the perfection-level forging technique.

The difference is only for the timing of quenching and the grasp of water temperature.

The best blade quenching has strict requirements for the temperature of the iron and the water temperature of the quenching, and the difference of half a degree is a completely different effect.

"Whew~"

In the scorching fire, the iron sword that had been molded gradually turned red, Li Yuan quietly sensed, and at a certain moment, he suddenly backhanded and plunged straight into the cold pool water.

Laugh at~

Smoke and water vapor rose together.

Zhang Ben didn't know when he had put down the forging hammer, and he was quite nervous at the moment, and kept reminding:

"Cold iron and dark iron are the finest iron materials, and blades made from these two iron materials need to be quenched more than six times before they can be used to the limit.

Every quenching is extremely important......

"Fire!"

Taking out the iron sword and reaching into the forge furnace, the four apprentices who pulled the bellows suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down their movements.

"Poof!"

When the iron sword gradually glowed red, Li Yuan sprayed a mouthful of water onto the sword, and the droplets of water slashed and jumped.

"There are still five quenching left, and this Qiushui Sword is complete!"

Zhang Ben also breathed a sigh of relief.

If the best is made into the top grade, the iron money will have to lose hundreds of taels, so he can't help but be nervous.

"Cold pool water, spirit ox blood, mixed blood water...... Quenching is much harder than thrashing."

Putting the sword back on the forging table, Li Yuan resumed his forging, and he missed the thermometer in his heart.

As long as there is such a one, the problem of quenching water temperature can be completely solved, and there will be no such tension for the difference of half a degree.

"It's not easy to take any step, you think it's easy to beat because you have a perfect hammering technique and an excellent talent! There is no shortcut to quenching, only accumulation ......."

Zhang Ben relieved himself and turned back to his forging table.

Although he has been promoted to the third treasurer, he has taken over the Yuan family's best hammer before, and he is currently the only one who can fight, so naturally he can't let go.

"The best hammer!"

Li Yuan glanced at it.

Zhang Ben's forging table is quite large, and there are six apprentices outside the furnace constantly pulling the bellows, the flames are rising, and the temperature is extremely high.

The forging of the best blades, for

The temperature requirements are extremely high, and the two of them burn in the furnace with firewood, and when it burns completely, it can burst out at a high temperature far beyond the furnace.

However, what he paid attention to was naturally the sledgehammer gradually forming in Zhang Ben's hand.

Long handle, giant hammer.

"With the master's craftsmanship, this heavy hammer must be a third-order ......."

Li Yuan was very moved.

The third-order hammer created by the forging master of the Great Perfection!

"Whew!"

After a few glances, Li Yuan collected his heart and prepared for the forging before the second quenching.

A three-storey shopkeeper, a big shopkeeper personally promised to enjoy the shopkeeper's treatment of the half-shopkeeper are struggling to strike iron.

Hearing the uninterrupted sound of the hammer, the rest of the blacksmiths in the forge did not dare to stop, gritting their teeth one by one, and when they could get to work, they were all sweating profusely and their arms were sore.

"Whew!"

After completing the second quenching in one day, Li Yuan wiped his sweat and was ready to work, while Zhang Ben was still forging.

An old man of nearly seventy, with a naked upper body full of muscles, hummed and hammered.

Li Yuan sealed the fire, watched from the sidelines, compared the gap between himself and Zhang Ben, thinking, and learning.

"Tomorrow, we should be able to quench it for the last time!"

When Zhang Ben stopped, he was also a little out of breath, his skills became more and more proficient, but the decay of qi and blood inevitably affected his skills.

In the early years, he didn't need to spend so much effort to hit such a hammer.

"You're too hard-working."

Li Yuan was a little worried.

When it comes to hammering, he is no longer inferior to Zhang Ben, but in terms of immersion in iron forging, he can't compare with this master who has been making iron for decades.

"The old man's physical strength has dropped greatly, maybe this hammer is the last thing to close the mountain, and he always has to serve a snack."

Taking the water from Li Yuan and scrubbing his upper body, Zhang Ben glanced at his disciple:

"The big shopkeeper values you very much, and the treatment is better than mine. After that, if you can take a few bites of the best blade, the half-shopkeeper can immediately mention the second-handler......

He didn't like Cao Yan's approach, but he was also afraid that Li Yuan would have a grudge in his heart, and he would enlighten him from time to time.

His own master, what can Li Yuan do, he can only nod and agree.

"In the Dragon Mansion, our shop is also under repair, and next year, the big shopkeeper will definitely take you to the Dragon Mansion, and then settle down in the city and marry a daughter-in-law.

If you take your brother and sister-in-law over, won't this day be prosperous?"

Zhang Ben was still muttering: "Divine Soldier Valley, it's not so good, Qiu Long is still a disciple of Divine Soldier Valley, isn't he also dying in the mountains?"

"You're always right!"

Li Yuan was full of 'good, good, good,' and his attitude was very sincere.

"That's it, that's it."

Zhang Ben didn't know that he was perfunctory, but he felt tired:

"Come early tomorrow, this hammer will be quenched for the last time, you will have to watch carefully......

Shaking his head, without waiting for Li Yuan to respond, Lao Zhangtou had already gone back to the house.

"Lao Zhangtou understands everything, but he has too deep feelings for the shop, Qiu Long died in the mountains, and Wang Ding died on the streets......

Shaking his head in his heart, Li Yuan cleaned up and locked the door of the forging room.

……

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, Li Yuan went to buy some cooked meat, bought two fish, and walked back to Chai Yufang, the second brother's house.

These days, Sun Hao comes back every three or five days, and Li Yuan sometimes eats out, and most of the time he eats at his second brother's house.

It's not that I want to save trouble, but I'm afraid that Li Lin will be reluctant to buy good food.

For most of the year, he would stuff some silver from time to time, but Li Lin didn't understand it at all, he saved it all, and he really made up his mind to marry him.

"Sister-in-law Wang's house on the front street has found a matchmaker to come to the door again, are you happy, you always want to meet, right? When I was a child, I carried you on my back and begged for milk from house to house, which belonged to the royal sister-in-law......

Just

Entering the courtyard, Li Lin's nagging followed.

「…… If you see one, there will be a group, second brother, you are happy to agree, you can go and see it."

Li Yuan lowered his head and scraped the scales of the fish.

In the past six months, especially in the last two months, I don't know how many matchmakers have come to the door, and there are still some novelties at first, and then I will get tired of it.

Who's a good family sees the matchmaker every day.

"You......"

"Shut up!"

Wang Juan couldn't help it, she held her waist with one hand and the door with the other, and her voice was still very sharp:

"People's brothers are looking forward to their brothers' goodness, you're good, pit your brother, right? The sister-in-law of Qianjie has been widowed for many years, and the daughter is Zhou Zheng, but God knows how many wild fathers there are!

The third child is going to marry her daughter, so don't think about being quiet in the future!"

"Be quiet!"

Li Lin was taken aback by this voice, and hurriedly covered his daughter-in-law's mouth, but was frightened by Wang Juan's glare.

"The third child is much stronger than you, so don't worry about his marriage!"

It has to be a sister-in-law!

Li Yuan shouted hello in his heart.

His second brother is good at everything, but his mouth is broken, and he can talk about one thing over and over again for three or five months, and he really can't stand it.

"Okay, then."

Li Lin really didn't dare to make his daughter-in-law angry, so he carefully helped her into the house, and came out to help Li Yuan scrape the fish scales:

"Your big shopkeeper treats you very well, and he specially sent someone to come a few days ago, saying that he would take us to live in the shop......

Li Yuan frowned: "You didn't agree, did you?"

"Your shop clanges all day long, and your sister-in-law can't stand this."

Li Lin shook his head.

"My sister-in-law is seven or eight months pregnant, so it's quieter outside."

Li Yuan got up and went to the kitchen to stew the fish, his face suddenly sank, this Cao Yan, Chijin was reluctant to give, and the trick outside the plate was fast.

……

"Worship the Dharma."

Back in the small courtyard, he threw a few pieces of meat to the little mouse who was waiting to be fed, and Li Yuan flipped through a few books sent by Master Wang.

These books were all borrowed by him from other counties, and there are many records about worshipping gods and worshipping gods.

"A thousand years ago, because the great grandfather cultivated the method of worshipping gods, the worship of gods once became the state religion, and its power was unprecedentedly strong, and the temples were rudder all over the world......

"More than 700 years ago, the Worship of God was divided and fell into decline overnight, although there was still no shortage of believers, and many branches gradually disappeared......

"Martial artists who practice the Divine Law tend to have a twisted mind, go crazy, wantonly slaughter, burn and plunder, and do all kinds of evil......

……

The Worship of God Cult, once the state religion of the Great Universiade, fell into decay overnight 700 years ago, although it was not beaten as a cult, but it was also faintly suppressed by the imperial court and major sects.

Today, ordinary people no longer know the existence of the Divine Worship Method.

On the light, Li Yuan flipped through it, and summarized and analyzed it in his heart:

"But temples all over the world are still ...... Therefore, the worship of the gods should be divided into two parts, one in the imperial court and the other in the dark?"

"Secretly this group is being suppressed, is it the 'false way, false scripture, false god' mentioned in that book?"

Flipping through the books, Li Yuan pondered.

In the past few months, he has never learned what kind of worship method is the god worship method, but asked Wang Fuzi to borrow many books on God worship for him.

Unfortunately, there is very little to be gained.

It is certain that only the worship of God still exists, and moreover, it is divided into two factions, one of which follows the primitive doctrine and worships itself as God.

The other faction is 'Invite the evil gods into the body.'

Li Yuan continued to flip through the pages, and soon, he found a record, or rather, a rumor, about 'inviting the gods into the body.'

"Worship the gods, there are thirteen divine skills, all of which are named after gods, and the more well-known ones are the Divine Foot Sutra, the Divine Palm Sutra, the Divine Eye Sutra, and the Divine Dirty Sutra......

"These thirteen divine skills

Fundamentally, it is 'to worship God, to serve God, and there are two groups, one is to worship oneself as God, and the other is to invite God into the body......

"The former is magnificent, difficult to learn and difficult to master, while the latter is advancing by leaps and bounds, but practitioners tend to have a distorted mind and go crazy......

……

Closing the book, Li Yuan guessed:

"The part I got from Yu Zhen is 'Invite the evil god into the body of the evil sect martial arts, orthodox, in the imperial court?"

The more he understood, the more interested he became in worshipping the gods.

This martial art is the only one that has been recorded and has the effect of prolonging life.

According to legend, Pang Wenlong, the ancestor of the Great Universiade, lived for more than 400 years because of this martial art.

This can be confirmed from the temples all over the world.

"More than 400 years!"

In these years, people have been rare for seventy years, and the temptation of more than four hundred years, Li Yuan feels very moved.

"It's a pity, this is an evil law, how good would it be if it was orthodox?"

Taking a deep breath and restraining his impulse, Li Yuan put away the wooden card, ready to play a few sets of pile skills and go to sleep, suddenly, he frowned,

I heard the sound of wind landing outside the hospital.

"Again?!"

Li Yuan clenched the handle of the hammer.

In the courtyard, Feng Gang stood with his sword in his arms, and seemed to be in a good mood:

"Very good, it was quenched twice in only five days, it seems that it doesn't take twenty days, at most eight days, and the Qiushui Sword can be beaten!"

"Who the hell are you?"

Li Yuan's heart was slightly cold.

He could already be sure that the person outside was related to Cao Yan, and he quenched it twice, and only Zhang Ben and Cao Yan might know.

"Have you ever heard of the Star Picking Tower?"

Outside the door, a voice was heard.

"Star Picker?"

Not a cult of gods?

Li Yuan's five fingers stretched and clenched, ready to burst out at any time.

"It seems that you haven't heard of it, but it doesn't matter, when you join the Star Picking Tower, you will naturally know."

In the courtyard, Feng Gang smiled slightly:

"When you play the Autumn Water Sword, it won't be a few days......

As the words drifted, Li Yuan pushed the door open, and a black shadow climbed onto the roof and disappeared without a trace, but this time, he saw the light of the blade.

【Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Wooden Plaque (1st Order)】

"It's similar to what Yu Zhen carried, and sure enough, it's the people of this evil god sect who are making ghosts! Yu Zhen, Cao Yan, and even the people behind the Lu County Order, they are all them!"

Li Yuan's heart was a little abrupt.

What Qiu Long, Yu Zhen, Cao Yan, and these big and small things in Gaoliu County, in essence, are all battles between the Evil God Sect and the Valley of Divine Soldiers!

"In a few days?"

Li Yuan thought about the Qiushui Sword and Heavy Hammer that were about to be played, and his brows furrowed:

"It's been a few days, indeed!"
