"Alright. Give me the red mengshi!" Du Huairou said behind Xiao Tianhe.

"You only quench once to enlighten the spirit?" Xiao Tianhe only heard the sound of the first quenching just now.

"Heh, I know the knife casting routine that has been passed down in the world, what 'one quenching the carving, two quenching the edge, and three quenching the shape', all of them are nonsense. The quenched knives are quenched into garbage. There is no need for carving, and the quality of the knife is not determined by its appearance. All my movements are done in one go, so it's just a quenching. Bring the red stone, I'm going to enlighten the soul while it's hot. Du Huai Judo.

"Isn't it hot or not......?" Xiao Tianhe muttered, "Don't you have a red stone yourself?"

"Oh, I just want your one, hurry up and bring it! Temperature is also a factor that affects the material's ability to accommodate Xuan Qi!" Du Huairou urged.

"Okay...... Now, are you dressed?" Xiao Tianhe asked again.

"You're really verbose, I'll take it myself!" Du Huairou complained impatiently, and jumped in front of Xiao Tianhe with an arrow, and couldn't help but take out a cloth bag wrapped in red mengshi from his arms.

Xiao Tianhe hurriedly closed his eyes tightly, and his nervous expression made Du Huairou laugh: "Open your eyes, I'm not as 'light' as you think!"

Xiao Tianhe narrowed his eyes slightly, and it turned out that Du Huairou was wearing a close-fitting silver wrap that covered from the collarbone to the waistband of his trousers.

"Heavenly silkworm clothes!" Xiao Tianhe exclaimed, "Hey, why didn't you say it earlier?

Du Huairou pouted: "Hey, I didn't say I wouldn't let you watch it, you didn't want to watch it yourself, who is to blame?"

"Didn't you say that you have to take off your clothes to cast a knife, and that if I lifted the fence and went out, you would 'show the light to a mountain of people'?"

"Hey, I just said that 'you have to take off the clothes that are in the way', where is the silkworm clothes in the way?" Du Huairou turned around in place, showing the closeness and lightness of the silkworm clothes, and said, "Oh, it is light and clean, if it is seen by the guests, of course, it will be for a mountain of people to see the 'light'!"

"That's it, I've never won a fight with you......" Xiao Tianhe got up helplessly, and when he looked back, the red molten slurry was clearly still in a circular "trough". "Huh, why haven't you cast a knife embryo yet? Didn't you quench it just now?" he asked.

"Who said that? I used to just get rid of impurities by calcination and forging. My casting method is special, and I have to complete the third step of enlightenment before the second step of quenching, so I should take it while it's hot!" Du Huairou took out a red stone from the shroud and threw it into the trough.

"Then what was the 'bang' just now?" Xiao Tianhe glanced curiously at the sink, and it turned out that there were several gray-black stones at the bottom of the trough. He had seen this kind of stone, and it was Du Huairou who took it from the Joy Workshop in the Demon Hidden Cave.

Du Huairou seemed to guess what Xiao Tianhe was thinking, and introduced: "This is called 'Wanjun Stone', it is said that Jia Wanjun, a master of knife casting a long time ago, would use this thing to ignite and smelt every time he cast a knife. Dongfang Ao, that guy refused to give me the withered glory wood, so he had to replace it with this. This kind of thing is very rare, and it is a little bit to save a little. ”

The red stone had already submerged into the round groove containing the molten slurry, and Du Huairou stretched her hands forward, and a ring appeared in her palm.

The whole body of the ring is milky white, the diameter is about three feet, about two fingers thick, the ring body is smooth and smooth, without any carved patterns.

"What is this?"

"My natal weapon. Du Huairou closed her eyes and grabbed the top of the ring with both hands.

Xiao Tianhe looked at the white ring curiously, it was the first time he had seen such a strangely shaped weapon, and he felt very interesting. Recalling the blades of the nine brothers of the Dragon Clan in the Blue Dragon Continent of different shapes, he sighed in his heart: "The diversity of the Demon Clan's weapons is also an advantage, at least it has the advantage of making the enemy unable to figure out the moves and routines. ”

After brewing for a while, Du Huairou suddenly opened her eyes, held the ring down, and shouted: "Open!"

The ring emitted a dazzling white light, which made Xiao Tianhe have to squint his eyes, only to see that the lower end of the white ring fell into the molten slurry and then quickly lifted it, followed by a dull "grunt" sound from the slurry, and the liquid surface gradually bulged.

Du Huairou's wrist shook and turned into a flat-end ring, and he stepped forward and put the ring on the round groove, just circled. She pressed the left and right ends of the ring with both hands, and a film of white light appeared between the rings. Not only the ring, but even Du Huairou's arms emitted white light. The light film is arched by the molten slurry underneath, and it is constantly drumming.

Xiao Tianhe understood that Du Huairou was using demonic power to suppress the Xuan Qi that was about to collapse.

The guests could only see two figures in the white light in the enclosure, projecting on the barrier, but they did not know what was happening inside. Everyone thought that Master Du was performing some sword-casting stunt.

It didn't take long for the white film of light to gradually flatten out, and the light dimmed a little. Du Huairou withdrew her hands and scooped up the Wanjun Stone from the sink.

Sure enough, it is strange, and there is no water on the Wanjun stone. Then, Du Huairou put the Wanjun stone into the casting furnace again, and urged the fire with demonic power, and the Wanjun stone, which had been soaked in Wuji water for a long time, caught fire. Another half day passed. Estimating that the molten slurry was almost hot, Du Huairou picked up the ring and said in a low voice: "The spirit is complete!"

"It turns out that you need to calcine the knife twice, and you have the last two steps reversed, which is really different. Xiao Tianhe admired it very much.

"The first calcination is to remove impurities from the material, the second calcination is to allow the Xuan Qi to fully fuse with the molten, and the second forging is also the same. The purpose of calcination and forging is different, so they cannot be combined. The following is the essence of my knife casting technique, wait and see!" Du Huairou raised the corners of her mouth confidently.

She raised her hand, and the white ring flew into the air with the molten lava, and it spun rapidly. The molten slurry gathered together in the phantom of the white ring, and as Du Huairou waved his arm suddenly, the white ring fell into the knife mold that had been prepared on the side with the molten pulp. The white ring suddenly stopped spinning, and the slurry melted

Falling, flowing away, the knife shape is formed.

Du Huairou grabbed the white ring and threw it into the sink on the side, and then with a grip of five fingers, the white ring rolled up an infinite stream of water and flew towards the mold, and the water flow was pulled into a thin and long water film. Suddenly, the white ring "buzzed" softly, floating in the air and still, and the water film suddenly fell, covering the mold below. "Shhh

"Only by making the time, size, and rate of the molten slurry the same at every point of temperature reduction, can the quality of the final blade be guaranteed. Du Huai Judo. She grabbed the ring floating in the air with both hands, and the force fell to the knife embryo, after a crisp sound of "ding", followed by a hammer like a storm, Du Huairou's movements on his hand were too fast to see clearly, and the ring turned into a piece of white light, dancing and jumping rapidly on the knife embryo.

"It's amazing!" Xiao Tianhe exclaimed in his heart. This is the origin of the previous dense forging sound. Unlike the sledgehammer commonly used by ordinary knife casters, the ring only has one point of contact with the blade, and it is necessary to have precise control to make the entire blade evenly forged. In addition, the interval between the forging of each part of the blade should not be too long, so the speed should also be ensured.

"I named this method 'Meteor Catching the Moon'. Du Huai Judo.

"White meteors, indeed. "Xiao Tian Dao.

"Ten thousand stones flying fire,

Infinite water smoke.

rainstorm meteor fall,

Shadow Jade Luo Circle. ”

Du Huairou muttered to herself.

"Your circle is called 'Yuluo'?"

"Exactly. Just like the magic knives of your demon cultivators, the weapons of the demon clan also have their own names. For example, Shi Haoming's golden spear, called 'Xingmang', and the thing that injured you in Dongfang Palace is Xiaoxue's 'Companion Moon Pestle'. ”

"It turns out that those two weird short sticks are Bai Yingxue's natal weapons......" Xiao Tianhe thought to himself.

"Okay, the blade is finished, it's done!" Du Huairou suddenly stopped tempering, and with a slight shake of his hand, the jade Luo ring was gone. She picked up the mold and threw it into the sink. This is Du Huairou's first quenching and the only one.

Du Huairou breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the clothes by the casting platform and put them on, and instructed Xiao Tianhe: "Tear down the fence." ”

"That's it?" With quenching as the finishing step of casting the magic knife, Xiao Tianhe always felt weird.

"Rest assured, the quality will not be bad!" Du Huairou was full of confidence.

Xiao Tianhe didn't say anything more, walked to the fence, and untied the ropes that bound the poles one by one.

"Look! Master Du's fence has been torn down!" shouted one of the guests. Suddenly, everyone turned their eyes to the high platform in the middle, and at this time, Du Huairou was scooping up the mold from the sink.

"Sure enough, Master Du is still powerful! Master Tu and Master Deng are still in the embryo casting stage, and Master Du has already finished quenching!" someone said admiringly.

"The short casting time does not mean that the magic knife is good, it depends on the degree of purification of the material. Don't look at the two masters Tu and Deng It takes a long time, but the knife embryo that can be forged by thousands of tempers must be very pure. "Another humane.

"Didn't you hear the sound of intensive tempering coming from Master Du's enclosure before, her knife embryo must be pure, otherwise she wouldn't be worthy of being called a master!" the man in front retorted.

"Don't make any noise, the third step is the key. Let's see how Master Du enlightens the spirit. "There is another humane.

All the guests are looking forward to Du Huairou's knife casting process, which can truly be called an "open" enlightenment process.

Du Huairou took out the knife from the mold, gently stroked the blade, and smiled with satisfaction.

"That's ...... Am I not mistaken?" was the thought of almost everyone in the audience. The knife in Du Huairou's hand was clearly emitting red light!

Only the magic knife can shine!

"The magic knife has been made. Take the name 'Red Emperor'!" Du Huairou said loudly with the magic knife held high.

"Wow-" During this sword-casting conference, the guest seats didn't know how many times there was an uproar, just because all of Du Huairou's actions were too unexpected! Tu Lingchun and Deng Xianjue on the high platform on both sides also stopped beating and looked at her with a little surprise.

Du Huairou squatted on the side of the stage, threw the magic knife to Beitangli, who was standing below and was almost stunned, and said with a smile: "Let's check it!"

Bei Tang Li hurriedly caught it, flipped it in his hand and examined it carefully, and finally announced in a trembling voice: "Superb!"

When did Du Huairou enlighten the spirit? If the knife embryo is blazing before quenching, and it has not yet been shaped, let alone injecting mysterious power, it is not even possible to touch it with his hands! But after quenching, Du Huairou clearly did nothing, but only fished the mold out of the sink. Could it be that the spirit was completed when the knife embryo was taken out of the mold? But how could the spirit be enlightened in such a short moment?

Because it is so incredible, people are surprised and inevitably start to doubt. Du Huairou's knife casting process was not revealed from beginning to end, was the reason for erecting the fence really indecent to strip or was there another purpose? The guests whispered in private.

Beitang Li handed the Red Emperor Sword to Nangong Yan, who was walking to the peak, and Ximen Ding and Dongfang Ao also gathered from their respective seats to check it together. The guests fell silent, waiting for the results of the verification of the three patriarchs.

After a while, Nangong Yan said loudly: "This knife has indeed just been cast. Master Du's skills are amazing, and we all admire them so much!"

The guest seats were silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin on the ground.

For a long time, I only heard Deng Xianjue's lonely voice coming from the high platform on the west side: "Alas, there is no need to compare, I have completely lost." Lao Tu, what do you say?"

"In terms of quality, my magic knife may not be able to reach the superb, in terms of skill, I will never be able to complete the enlightenment before quenching, and in terms of speed, I am even more out of reach. Tu Lingchun suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, "I think I've always called myself a 'knife casting master', but now I think about it, but I'm sitting in a well and watching the sky." Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the fourth sword-forging master since ancient times was actually a young girl!"

Knife Maker!

This praise comes out

In the mouth of Tu Lingchun, he is more convincing than others.

All the guests cheered loudly and shouted in unison again: "Du Huairou, Du Huairou ......" The difference is that the previous time was dissatisfaction, but this time it was admiration.

Deng Xianjue and Tu Lingchun jumped down from the high platform respectively, and Beitang immediately greeted him, and arched his hand: "The two masters ......."

Deng Xianjue waved his hand: "Master of the Standing Department, there is no need to say anything." We feel shameless to continue casting, and even if we cast a magic knife, it will definitely not be comparable to Master Du's masterpiece. ”

Ximen Ding came over and said: "Master Libu, the materials used by Master Deng will definitely be returned to the Beitang family in the future." I'm going to take my leave today. ”

"We're going to say goodbye too. The materials used by Master Tu are counted on my Dongfang family's head. Dongfang said proudly.

"Where, where, Patriarch Ding and Patriarch Ao are too polite. I was fortunate to be able to invite two masters to cast knives on stage, and the materials should be served without returning. Beitangli was in a good mood, and even forgot that those materials were actually prepared by Du Huairou herself.

Ximen Ding and Dongfang Ao nodded, and said goodbye to Beitangli and Du Huairou on the stage, and then hurriedly left Jinshou Mountain. Tu Lingchun and Deng Xianjue did not forget to signal to Du Huairou before leaving. People are like this, when they find that their opponents have reached the realm of their own jaw-dropping, the original disbelief will turn into respect.

Nangong Yan did not leave in a hurry, but returned to the seat of the Nangong family. He was waiting for Xiao Tianhe to give him an explanation.

Xiao Tianhe, who was on the stage, witnessed the loneliness of Tu Lingchun and Deng Xianjue, and smiled at Du Huairou: "You can hit those two masters badly!"

Du Huairou smiled "hee-hee": "It's not at the same level." Beitangli, that old thing, even used my materials to earn favors without asking me. She shouted to the audience, "Hey, Master Libu!"

"What does Master Du command?"

"The materials I worked so hard to collect, you sent them very happily!"

"Ahh I will convert the materials used in this conference into equivalent magic coins and pay them to Master Du. ”

"No need. I forged this Red Emperor Sword for Xianggong, so I won't give it to the Beitang family. You can convey this to the patriarch on my behalf. ”

"Listen to me. "In general, although the process of this knife casting conference organized by the Beitang family was full of twists and turns, it still benefited a lot in the end, so Beitang Li would never offend Du Huairou for a super-best magic knife at this time.

"Cast for me?" Xiao Tianhe pointed to himself.

Du Huairou approached him and laughed in a low voice: "I said, it was forged for Xianggong." Oh, you finally think you're my husband?"

Xiao Tianhe was helpless: "Don't talk to you, I still have something to do, you go back first." ”

Du Huairou grabbed Xiao Tianhe, who was about to jump off the high platform, and said quietly: "Look at the northwest between the seats of the Beitang family and the seats of the Ximen family, count the seventh circle from the inside to the outside. ”

Xiao Tianhe turned around in confusion and glanced in the direction Du Huairou said, but saw a familiar face - Shi Haoming!

This Shi Haoming always appears at unexpected times. Obviously, Shi Haoming also saw Xiao Tianhe, but as if he didn't know Xiao Tianhe at all, he got up from his seat and disappeared into the departing crowd.

"He's been here a long time ago and has been watching us. Du Huai Judo.

"Since Shi Haoming is here, the demon lord ......"

Du Huairou said with great certainty: "That's right, the demon lord was among the guests just now!"

"And now?"

Du Huairou shook her head with a grim expression: "He's gone." The Demon Lord didn't reveal his identity just now, but I could feel that he was near Shi Haoming. If you have anything, hurry up and do it, and I'll wait for you to go with you. From now on, you're not allowed to leave my field of vision, do you hear?"

"Good. Xiao Tianhe got off the high platform and walked to the seat of the Nangong family. Nangong Yan and Nangong Tong were waiting for him there.

Xiao Tianhe had no intention of chatting with the two, and after greetings, he just told the story of meeting Du Huairou after going down the mountain. After clearing up the misunderstanding, Xiao Tianhe asked by the way why Nangong Yan still hadn't entered the core. Nangong Yan's answer couldn't help but surprise Xiao Tianhe - it turned out that not long after Xiao Tianhe's seclusion, the Demon Lord issued an order that all demon cultivators in the Tribulation Realm were not allowed to enter the core for the time being. As for the reason, the demon lord didn't say, but most people speculated based on time that the demon lord should be at the juncture of his ascension and ready to choose the next successor.

Xiao Tianhe knew that this was definitely not the real reason, and the demon lord was probably preparing for the seizure.

After saying goodbye to Nangong Yan and Nangong Tong, Xiao Tianhe and Du Huairou returned to the accommodation arranged for them by the Beitang family. The two discussed their future plans along the way. Listening to Du Huairou's meaning, a fierce battle with the demon lord in the future is inevitable. At a critical juncture, the Demon Lord will definitely send several demon clans in the Meng Zhang Realm. Shi Hao said well, after all, the demon lord had not yet finished controlling him. But the situation of several demon girls is extremely dangerous, the demon lord is ruthless, and when he is dying, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not destroy Meng Zhangpei's life, so let the three of them bury him. Therefore, the key is how to kill the demon lord cleanly without letting the demon lord hurt those demon clans.

On the demon master's side, plus himself, there are a total of five people, and Xiao Tianhe's side is only him and Du Huairou. Xiao Tianhe felt that they needed other helpers. But who in the world can be trusted? Du Huairou doesn't care about this. Because she believes that Shi Haoming must have thought of a thousand strategies.

Shi Haoming once said to Xiao Tianhe in the misty sea: "The next time you and I meet again, it will be when everything is complete. "Since Shi Haoming appeared at the scene of the Knife Casting Conference today, and deliberately let Du Huairou and Xiao Tianhe notice him, it will definitely not be long before he appears in front of the two again.

By the time I returned to my accommodation, night had fallen. Xiao Tianhe and Du Huairou were about to push the door in, when a timid shout suddenly came from the corner of the house: "Brother Xiao......"
