Chapter 74 Forging the sword and recasting, the eight-sided Han sword
Li Shuguo is young.
But the insight is definitely not bad.
It has been more than ten years since the day I took over Honeycomb Mountain.
At a young age, he began to come into contact with various refining materials.
Gold, jade, bronze, steel, wood and stone.
Whether it is a sword, a sword, a halberd, a strong bow and a spear, or even a musket and cannon, he has built it with his own hands.
It can be said that he can clearly explain all the materials that can be seen, what kind of blades are suitable for refining, how many materials are used, and what the heat is.
It's just that......
The big tendon in front of him, but he had never heard of it.
To be honest, it is not uncommon for animal liners to make weapons.
Since ancient times, there has been a practice of using cow horseshoe tendons to make bowstrings.
After treatment, both flexibility and endurance are of the highest quality.
Like the big bow used by the old foreigners.
It seems ordinary, but it is a previous generation of mountain movers, when they went to Guanzhong to rob the tomb, after killing a Qinchuan cow, they took its big tendons, and spent countless efforts to ask someone to build it.
For this reason, it was specially named Qinchuan Bow.
It's just that very few people know about it.
The bowstring is full of moon, and it can have the power of nearly 100 stones, even if the old foreigner has practiced the art of controlling the string since childhood, he can't pull the full bow.
When I was in Bottle Mountain before, the wild boar I encountered, only half a month, pierced my eyes with an arrow, and my fur was not damaged at all.
It is conceivable how strong the bow of Qin Chuan is.
Li Shuguo himself has also polished a few old bows.
Although it is the age of firearms.
But many people were born in the previous dynasty, especially veterans who had been on the battlefield, or people from the rivers and lakes who practiced martial arts, and they had a kind of enthusiasm and dedication to longbows and heavy crossbows.
It's just that the tendons of cattle and sheep's hooves are easy to see, but the big tendons such as Qinchuan bow are difficult to find.
Now.
Feel the fierce aura on the big tendons.
Li Shuguo only felt like falling into an ice cave, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably.
He didn't even dare to imagine that the seven or eight meter-long inner tendons could only be obtained by hunting what a terrifying beast.
Orochi? Python?
Or is it the legendary genus of dragons?
Li Shuguo muttered in a low voice, his face turned as white as gold paper because of the shock.
"Shopkeeper Li, how's that?"
Chen Yulou stood aside with his hands in his hands, and suddenly asked with a chuckle.
Hear this.
Li Shuguo's eyelids trembled suddenly, and then he came back to his senses, secretly took a few deep breaths, and finally suppressed the shocking waves in his heart.
"It's rare in the world."
"Li, today is really a long insight."
Clenching his hands into fists, Li Shuguo said with a serious sigh.
"Then Shopkeeper Li may borrow it to refine the weapon?"
"This ...... Let me think about it. ”
Li Shuguo's brows furrowed, and the whole person fell into deep thought.
The first choice is naturally for making bowstrings.
But the average bow is only about one or two feet at most, and no matter how big it is, it can't exceed five feet.
After all, the bow is a long-range weapon.
The larger the bow, the more stringent the requirements become.
And sometimes the manpower is exhausted, even if the strength is as great as an ox, how many bows can it be opened?
If you calculate according to the size of the top strong bow, this big rib can also create at least five pieces.
When the time comes, it will have to be cut off.
For such a material that has been rare for hundreds of years, it is a huge waste in itself.
And the big crossbows above the bow and arrows, such as the legendary Qin crossbow, the crossbow and the divine arm bed crossbow, are almost the same as artillery, and the materials are suitable.
It's just that the shopkeeper Chen meant something outside of his words.
It's clearly about building a weapon for yourself.
What is the use of asking for a Qin crossbow and a divine arm crossbow?
Could it be used to defend the city?
The question is, in the entire Sanxiang and Four Waters, how many people dare to attack Chenjiazhuang?
Even if you are an outlaw, you have to weigh how many lives you have.
Since the bow and crossbow are denied.
Li Shuguo could only think in other directions.
Those who talk about long weapons, throughout the ages, are nothing more than four categories: guns, spears, halberds, and lances.
Thinking of this, he seemed to have an idea.
The confusion in his eyes dissipated, and he looked up at the figure opposite.
"I don't know the shopkeeper Chen, but do you have a favorite vessel?"
That's to the point.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but smile.
From the moment he took off the demon tendon, he was actually pondering, and he had a few thoughts, but he had not made a decision for a long time.
Sending someone to invite Li Shuguo also has the meaning of discussing with him.
"Shopkeeper Li, I think ...... How about the sword? ”
"Sword?"
Li Shuguo obviously didn't think about it.
His brows furrowed slightly, and his face showed a little hesitation.
After all, if you want to make the best use of things, it would be a pity to only refine a sword with such a long tendon.
But......
He's a blacksmith.
What to do, you have to listen to what people tell us.
"The words of the sword are not bad, the sword is the holy product of the ancients, the head of a hundred soldiers, the ancestor of short soldiers, and the temperament of the shopkeeper Chen is also consistent, it is ......"
After a slight sigh, Li Shuguo continued.
"Probably some wasted."
"Of course, in the refining process, there is also a word of loss."
Li Shuguo said it extremely tactfully.
However, Chen Yulou couldn't understand what he meant, and he didn't delay, and reached out and shook it lightly from under his robe.
The next moment.
There was an extra short knife in his hand.
"Shopkeeper Li, look at it, how is this knife?"
Li Shuguo took it carefully.
As soon as he started his hand, he felt a heavy chill pierce his flesh and bones.
That is, he has been playing iron refining in the fire room all the year round, and his qi and blood are too much better than others, and he can barely suppress it by urging him at this moment.
Looking down again, I saw that the blade was narrow and long, the edge of the knife was sharp and sharp, and there was a faint light around the body.
But what frightened him the most.
But it was the narrow and deep blood groove at the edge of the knife.
Even after hundreds of years, there is still a dark red blood color that is too thick to be erased.
One can imagine how many lives this knife has been stained with blood.
"What a knife."
"Shopkeeper Chen's knife, looking at it from below, is really a fierce soldier who kills sharp soldiers."
At this moment, he carefully held the short knife.
As the owner of the Honeycomb Mountain with countless refining weapons, Li Shuguo actually had a chilling feeling.
"If you put the extra demon tendons into this knife and re-exercise it, what do you think?"
"Forging the knife to be reforged?!"
Li Shuguo was still sighing.
As soon as he heard this, his whole heart suddenly moved.
didn't care about the deep and fierce murderous aura on the knife's body, and after observing it repeatedly, countless thoughts flashed in his mind.
"As long as Shopkeeper Chen trusts me."
"Li will never fail to live up to your trust."
What could be more interesting than reforging an ancient knife?
In his opinion, the knife was terrifyingly fierce.
But it should have been with the original owner for too long, stained with countless blood, and slowly nourished by murderous energy, before he could get to this point.
The system itself, to be honest, is not satisfactory.
If he is allowed to handle it himself, Li Shuguo is seventy percent sure that this ancient knife will be rejuvenated.
"Since you take it out, you naturally have absolute trust in Li Zhan Cabinet."

Chen Yulou said with a smile.
However, compared to the ancient knife that the Corpse King carried, he was more concerned about the long sword.
"With this knife, the demon tendons shouldn't be wasted, right?"
"Of course ......"
Li Shuguo was still pondering the style of forging a knife.
When I heard this, I came back to my senses.
"I don't know if Shopkeeper Chen prefers long swords, short swords, soft swords, heavy swords or willow leaf swords?"
There are so many types of swords.
There are countless famous swords throughout the ages.
Of course, it's good to ask in advance.
"How about the Eight-Faced Han Sword?"
Chen Yulou barely hesitated, and immediately spoke.
Aoki Changshenggong lacked killing, so he wanted to make a weapon for himself.
And now he has stepped into the realm of refining the five internal organs.
The blood was surging, and his strength was almost the same as Kunlun.
Swords such as soft swords and willow leaves are light and fluttering, and they don't feel anything in their hands, and they are not considered at all.
The first choice is the epee or broadsword.
The latter is not quite in line with his temperament.
As for the heavy sword, what can be more powerful and handsome than the eight-sided Han sword?
When he watched a certain Hong Kong film.
The shot swept by Luo Tianhong's eight-sided sword is so handsome that he will never forget it until now.
"This ...... It's an ancient artifact. ”
"I haven't seen anyone use it in years."
Hearing the words of the eight-sided Han Sword, Li Shuguo's eyes widened.
Even though he had gradually touched a little bit of the character of this shopkeeper Chen, he still couldn't hide his amazement.
The Republic of China has gone to great lengths to refine a cold weapon, which is already extremely rare.
As a result, the request turned out to be an antiquity from more than 2,000 years ago.
Let's put it this way.
The number of people who have seen the eight-sided Han sword with their own eyes on the rivers and lakes is no more than the number of hands.
And what can be seen today, without exception, are all Ming artifacts stolen from ancient tombs.
It can only be seen in the homes of those who specialize in collecting ancient swords.
But......
Li Shuguo is one of the few.
He is not interested in antique artifacts, but as the owner of Honeycomb Mountain and a descendant of the Li family, he knows everything about the artifacts of the past dynasties.
What's more, swords are the most common type of weapon.
And Han Jian has taken a place in the sword again.
"Hahaha, maybe Chen has a soft spot for antiquities."
looked at his hesitant and undaring to ask.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but joke with self-deprecation.
Antique......
Capture these two words.
Li Shuguo slapped his forehead, almost forgetting that the leader in front of him was the leader of the Jieling Mountains, and what he did was to dig graves upside down to make a living.
"Okay, now that Shopkeeper Chen has decided, he will do his best."
However, this topic is relatively sensitive, Li Shuguo didn't dare to think about it, but quickly agreed.
"Oh yes, shopkeeper Chen, there's one more thing I want to ask."
"Shopkeeper Li said it bluntly."
Seeing that he did not hesitate, Chen Yulou suddenly had a bottom in his heart.
The eight-faced Han Sword did pick up less, but he was the heir of the Li family after all.
"Is there a fire around here?"
Li Shuguo was worried that he didn't understand, and added.
"Forging weapons, the requirements for flames are extremely high, when my father went south, traveled to several provinces, and finally only found an underground fire cave in Yuhua Mountain."
"This is also the reason why Honeycomb Mountain falls on Yuhua Mountain."
"If you change to an ordinary charcoal fire, the temperature is not enough, and the molten iron burned is not pure enough, which has a great impact on the weapon."
Earth fire?!
Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows.
This one really thinks about it everywhere with me.
Before Li Shuguo came, when he was wandering around in the backyard, he thought about sending someone to find the earth fire.
I didn't expect to hear these two words again so soon.
"Don't hide it from Shopkeeper Li, Chen is planning to let someone look for it these days."
"It's not going to happen for a while."
Li Shuguo frowned.
"It's better than this, if Shopkeeper Chen can trust me, let me return to the mountain with this big tendon, at most...... Well, in half a month, the long sword and short knife Li will personally send it to Chenjiazhuang. ”
Half a month.
Chen Yu's real estate calculated, and the three brothers and sisters of Partridge Whistle came to meet, and then rushed to Shalong Mountain together, and the time was not too much different.
It's just that...... Regarding the matter of earth fire, he has already made a decision in his heart.
A mountain is based on armor and weapons.
Over the years, the grass shields, rattan armor and centipede hanging ladders have been completed in Chenjiazhuang or Qingshan, and they will never be faked.
The copper and iron instruments involved are also smelted in charcoal furnaces.
If there is a fire.
In the future, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient to build armor and weapons.
Of course, the deepest causes.
Or is he going to use the earth fire to burn the medicine for alchemy.
"How about looking first?"
"Shopkeeper Li has been staying in Zhuangzi for the past few days to think about forging swords."
"If you need anything, just say it directly, Chen will let people prepare."
Chen Yulou shook his head and said lightly.
The tone is calm, not hurried, but there is a domineering that people can't refuse.
Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Li Shuguo's mouth, to be honest, this situation was also expected by him.
Don't say anything else.
That big tendon alone is rare in the world.
At least he hadn't seen the second one in his life.
"Shopkeeper Chen, Li has a little experience and means to find the earth fire, and he is idle anyway."
"Why don't you find me a few guys who are familiar with the nearby mountains in the next few days, let them lead the way, and I will help you find it?"
Li Shuguo hesitated for a moment, and suddenly spoke.
Of course, idleness is just an excuse.
What he was worried about was that as soon as he left, there would inevitably be turmoil on the side of Yuhua Mountain.
And the longer he stays, the more difficult it will be to control the situation.
Of course, there is another reason.
With such rare materials in front of him, as a pin master, how could he endure it, and he couldn't wait to set up the steelmaking furnace a day earlier and do it himself.
It is precisely because of this that he will take the initiative to ask for help.
"This ...... Shopkeeper Li worked all the way, didn't rest, and had to go to find the fire again. ”
"Chen, where is he embarrassed."
Hear the words.
Chen Yulou's eyes couldn't help but light up.
In this regard, he can be said to be unable to ask for it.
Li Shuguo is an expert in playing with fire, and he personally went out to find a group of people like nails, and I don't know how many times stronger it is.
However, no matter how much you move in your heart, you still have to say kind words.
After all, he was a guest from afar.
It's not a Chen guy who lets him call and drink.
"Shopkeeper Chen is polite."
"I heard early in the morning that the scenery of Xiangyin is infinite, and I can take this opportunity to take a good look."
Li Shuguo is a smart person.
How could he not hear the meaning of his words?
He just waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
"Well, since that's the case, Chen is not polite."
"Tonight in Guanyun Tower, pick up the wind and wash the dust for Shopkeeper Li, rest for the night, and then go into the mountains tomorrow to find the fire."
