Chapter 508: Show Your Skills
Liu Qianling looked back and saw that the old lady was already standing behind her with a cane at some point. "Mother, why are you here?" Liu Qianling originally planned to let Fei Tukong withdraw from the competition, and then immediately set off to return to Cangyunling, so he didn't lead the old lady when he went out in the morning, and he didn't want her to find it by herself.
"You two come to see the fun, I'm bored alone. The old lady shook her head while looking at Fei Tukong on the stage, "It's not okay to cast embryos like this!"
"What's wrong? I think he's pretty good!" Liu Qianling was puzzled. At this time, the casting technology department has entered the third item - quality competition, and most of the founders are in the critical period of the casting embryo stage.
"On the surface, the work seems to be good, but in fact, there are many shortcomings. Isn't this a test of quality? Changing a forging hammer for a while like him is not only troublesome, but also affects the strength of the hammer because of the difference in the weight of the hammer body. I really don't know which lame master taught him this method of casting embryos!" The old lady devalued the craftsmanship passed down by Jin Hezhen to worthlessness.
Recalling the old lady's evaluation of the forging hammers of the casters before, Zhu Yuan came and said: "Auntie, it seems that you know the way of casting very well!"
"Hmph. The old lady smiled strangely.
Fei Tukong, who was in the circle on the stage, couldn't hear the sound outside, and after he forged for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, the quality of the materials provided by Lingbo Gate was quite good, and it was also very pure, and there was no need for a long process of removing impurities. If you continue like this, you can forge it for a few more hours, and then you can take it to quenching.
"No, no! this will ruin the knife embryo!" Offstage, the old lady couldn't hold back any longer, and walked to the casting platform.
Of course, the Lingbo Sect disciple would not allow the old lady to mess around, so he stopped her by the stairs.
"Get out of the way!" the old lady lifted her crutches and tapped lightly on the disciple's knee, and he squatted on the ground in pain and couldn't stand up.
"Mother!" Liu Qianling hurriedly went to pull the old lady.
Elder Lingbomen, who was in charge of the casting skill competition, also walked over and asked, "Who are you? Don't disturb others to compete!"
The old lady gave him a blank look, and still walked to the stage. The elder of Lingbomen stretched out his hand to pull it, but the old lady suddenly slammed the pestle on the ground with her cane, and a fierce wind spread around the center of the old lady, and the elder was actually blown over several times. Not only him, but everyone next to the stairs, including Liu Qianling, was lifted several feet away by the strong wind.
The casters on the casting platform also noticed the strangeness of the audience and looked over one after another.
The old lady sighed: "I was attracted to distraction after making such a little noise, what kind of good weapon can I forge it into?" Looking at Fei Tukong again, his attention was still on the knife embryo, and the old lady nodded in approval, "Well, the heart is not bad, it is worth training and training." ”
The elder sat on the ground and looked at the old lady's back and was stunned, he was a seven-star star, he was blown over by the air before he touched the old lady, where is the old lady sacred?
Liu Qianling was also dumbfounded, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. Zhu Yuanlai walked up to her, clapped his hands and laughed: "Wonderful, wonderful! I knew that the old lady had a material!"
After the old lady got on the casting platform, she held the crutches with both hands and pestle the ground again. This time, the magic circle that shrouded the entire platform was destroyed. It was only then that Fei Tukong raised his head and looked at the old lady in surprise.
"Step aside and take a good look!" said the old lady.
Fei Tukong looked under the stands, and Liu Qianling shrugged his shoulders.
The old lady picked up her crutches and swept away the forging embryo, picked up several materials from the pile of materials on the side, and threw them into the forge. Then, she freely picked up the crutches in the air in a big circle, and slammed it heavily on the casting platform, only to hear a crisp sound of "click", the surface of the crutches actually cracked, and with the movement of the old lady's shaking arms, the epidermal pieces peeled off, revealing the silver glitter inside.
"I haven't used this guy for a long time, and today I finally see the light of day again!" the old lady said. If it was a crutch, she used it every day. Since she said "I haven't used it for a long time", it means that the long stick is not just a crutch.
"I see!" Zhu Yuanlai suddenly realized, "That's the old lady's forging hammer!"
"What?forging hammer?" Liu Qianling was incredulous, "That's obviously a stick!"
Zhu Yuanlai said with a smile: "The function of the forging hammer is to forge the embryo, in other words, as long as it can be forged, any shape can be used." Wait and see, the show is about to begin!"
The old lady flicked her sleeves and puffed up a gust of wind, blowing away all the crumbs of the crutches that had fallen around her. She also seemed to be dissatisfied with the fire in the forge, so she simply swept a stick and cut the forge in half, and the upper half fell to the bottom of the stage with a "ping pong", and the materials were clearly visible in the lower half of the furnace cavity.
Elder Lingbomen leaned next to Liu Qianling and said with emotion: "Gang Leader Liu, Ling Tang's actions are really ...... Rude!" He really couldn't find the right word to describe it, "The materials used in the forge are not ordinary things, so that a strong man may not be able to smash it in half with a stick, let alone cut it horizontally!
Liu Qianling could only smile awkwardly, is this still the poor old lady who seemed to be frail before?
What happened next was even more surprising. The old lady poked the stick to the ground at will, and the stick was inserted into the ground and stood upright. Then, the old lady put her hands around the forge, which was only half of the furnace left, and roared, only to see the red light of her palms coming out, and a pale flame suddenly rose into the sky.
Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded. It is not difficult to promote the fire, but the difficulty is in the color of the flame. Because fire is mainly used for heating and calcination in the casting process, the key lies in a "heat."
Word. Therefore, according to the heat, the flame is also divided by quality. The red flame is the second, and it can reach this level without urging the fire; the yellow flame is slightly stronger, as long as the burning thing is not too bad, it is easy to achieve; the blue flame is superior, not only does it need to be of excellent quality of combustion, but it also needs to use its power to promote the fire, and the skill is too weak to do it; the green flame is excellent, this level of flame is not something that ordinary people can produce, so not many people have seen the green flame. But the old lady in front of her, the flame that came out turned out to be pale! This shows that the temperature of the furnace fire has reached the extreme!
"Liu, Liu Gang Leader, I'm really disrespectful to Ling Tang!" Elder Ling Bo Sect stammered a little when he spoke, of course he knew what kind of quality the burning materials provided by this sect were, under normal circumstances, it was already very good to be able to bring out the blue fire. The person who spurred out this pale flame must be a top master! It is really incredible that a little-known white ghost gang has emerged one after another with masters like Zhu Yuanlai and the old lady. The elder made up his mind in his heart, after going back today, he must strongly recommend Huang Yingge, and he must have a good relationship with the White Ghost Gang!"Hey, what are you waiting for, I'm going to bring the Yellow Gate Master here!" The elder stood up like a rabbit, and walked away from the crowd towards the questioning platform.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Liu Qianling twisted Zhu Yuanlai next to him.
"Then don't pinch me!" Zhu Yuanlai rubbed the sore spot and cried and laughed.
Liu Qianling suddenly remembered the matter of the "green lantern shining on the demon" in Tongmingli, and hurriedly asked: "Hey, do you think this is another trick to deceive people? Did my mother throw anything into the stove just now?"
Zhu Yuanlai shook his head and said with certainty: "Throwing anything will not ignite this kind of sky-high fire! Look at the outer edge of the furnace wall, it will burn red in a while!"
On the stage, Fei Tukong couldn't bear the temperature of the pale flame, and retreated several feet back.
The old lady's gray hair, which had been coiled up, was scattered by the heat, and the roots floated up to the sky. The forge was getting redder, but there was nothing going on with her.
"Tsk, I don't know, I thought the old lady was being tortured!
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Qianling pinched him again.
The pale flame was really not covered, and others needed to calcine the casting materials for several days, but the old lady only used a moment to finish calcining. The flames of the skyscraper slowly fell, and the color also changed from white to blue, returning to its normal color. The old lady had just withdrawn her arms from the forging furnace, but the forging furnace suddenly exploded with a "boom", and the casting platform was suddenly filled with smoke and dust, enveloping the old lady's figure.
"Mother!" Liu Qianling was startled and covered her mouth in horror. Fei Tukong had already been swept off the stage by the air wave, and Zhu Yuanlai rushed over to catch him. In the stands, a strong wind burst out, swept away the smoke and dust, and the old lady stood unharmed, and the embryo had been placed on the casting platform by her at some point.
The old lady straightened her unkempt hair a little, and said to Liu Qianling in the audience: "Mother is fine, it's because the quality of Lingbomen's forging furnace is too poor." ”
"To be able to fry the forging furnace, the eldest lady's move can be regarded as 'no one before or since'!" Fei Tukong exclaimed.
"Oh, boy, watch my movements, and it's up to you how much you can learn!" the old lady grabbed the shiny stick, leaped onto the foundry, and danced like a windmill. The two ends of the long stick fell on the embryo like a storm, and the sparks flew everywhere, as if they had set off a firework. In the eyes of people like Liu Qianling who don't know how to cast, the old lady is like "beating up". But Fei Tukong could see that although the position of the old lady dropped the hammer slightly every time, the strength was the same. Even Master Jin He Zhen couldn't control the falling hammer so meticulously and accurately during the forging process. The old lady wielded the long stick faster and faster, and even the hand with the stick turned into a virtual shadow, which was dazzling, and Fei Tukong felt that he could not see it with either eye. The sound of "jingling" was dense and continuous, almost forming a long sound.
Just as everyone was dazzled by the old lady's movements, the forging process came to an abrupt end. The old lady picked up the long stick, and a knife embryo flew into the quenching trough. The old lady "flew" to the quenching trough at a speed no slower than the knife embryo, and almost at the moment when the knife embryo entered the water, her long stick began to stir without entering the water.
Liu Qianling asked the bandit in confusion: "Wouldn't stirring the water like this make all the impurities under the sink float up?"
"That's true. Fei Tukong rubbed his nose, "However, I remember that Master has mentioned before that there are indeed masters who quench while stirring water......"
"That's precisely to get rid of impurities. Zhu Yuanlai answered, "The heavy impurities will sink to the bottom, and the light ones will either float on the surface or hang in the water." While stirring the water to form a whirlpool, he uses meticulous attention and discernment to find impurities, and then controls them delicately to isolate them from the embryo. ”
"You...... Is it possible to do what you said?" Liu Qianling couldn't believe it.
Zhu Yuan said: "If you go to the sink at this time, you will definitely see that the embryo is pressed down in the center of the whirlpool. If the position of the embryo is high, it will be partially exposed to the air, if the position is low, it may touch the bottom of the tank, and if the position is deviated, it is easy to bump the wall of the tank. Moreover, it is not easy to control something as soft as the flow of water, which requires an incomparably sharp touch and incomparably precise force. ”
Liu Qianling was secretly speechless when she heard this, and she couldn't imagine that the seemingly simple quenching could be so meticulous.
The quenching time was not long, the old lady hit the water with the stick, and the fully cooled embryo was wrapped in a clear stream and was bounced into the air, and she quickly swirled the long rod under the embryo, and the water mass was blown away, and the knife embryo spun and fell on the rod. After quenching, it is the most critical enlightenment, and the old lady stops spinning the rod
, with the head of the stick against the knife embryo does not fall, as if juggling.
But the surface of the stick was already glowing with a layer of red light, and the spirit began!
"She doesn't have to touch the blade embryo to enlighten her spirit?" the casters who came down from the casting platform had their jaws on the ground.
Fei Tukong sighed: "If you don't touch the embryo and enlighten the spirit, you must know the quality of the material and the quality of the embryo well, and you know how much skill you can use to achieve a perfect state." Awesome!"
"And it is necessary to be clear and confident about the results of casting embryos and quenching. Zhu Yuanlai added, "Miss Liu, you have found a treasure!"
"Huh?"
"The old lady is clearly a peerless master of casting!"
"That's right!" Fei Tukong agreed completely.
"That's strange, such a casting master, it should be that all sides are competing and invited, but how could she have been succumbing to a dilapidated courtyard in Tongming......li?
"As the saying goes, 'small hidden in the wild, big hidden in the city', the situation of the old lady should be like this!" Zhu Yuanlai guessed.
Liu Qianling shook her head: "What about her daughter? ”
"Then I'll wait until you ask later. Fei Tukong looked at Liu Qianling, "You're right, you really can't pretend to be true, so what's the matter with your crying at that time?"
A trace of fluctuation flashed in Liu Qianling's eyes: "Alas, I'll tell you later." Look, it looks like it's going to be cast!"
On the casting platform, the old lady had already received the magic knife emitting red light in her hand. It was the first time she had touched something since it was cast, and that was when it was made. At this time, Elder Ling Bomen had just led Huang Yingge to the side of the stage.
"It's done?so fast?" Huang Yingge looked at the elder suspiciously, she thought the elder was fooling her.
The old lady threw the magic knife to the elder: "Test the quality!"
"I've just been away for a while, and even the quenching belt is finished?" the elder looked at the other audience suspiciously.
Everyone nodded their heads to prove that the knife was indeed freshly cast.
"Bring it!" Huang Yingge said to the elder. She has to test the quality herself. As soon as the knife is in hand, there is an inexplicable feeling of taking advantage of it. The knife is more than five feet long, and the blade is bent in an elegant arc and weighs moderately. Huang Yingge stretched out his fingers and flicked it, and the magic knife immediately let out a cheerful light roar.
"This knife is given to you, as a reward for the preferential treatment given to me by Lingbomen. When it comes to quality, it's time for our White Ghost Gang to win, right?" the old lady asked. She didn't know that Liu Qianling and Zhu Yuanlai were already planning to give up the competition.
Huang Yingge accepted the magic knife and nodded in thanks: "I don't know the name of the senior?"
"The surname is Yang. It's just a cheap name, don't mention it. The owner of the door can call me 'Mrs. Yang'. The old lady said politely.
"Elder Yang," Huang Yingge still removed the word "Tai" to show respect, "Among the many gangs, your casting skills are indeed second to none. However, whether you win in the quality category depends on the results of the competition between you and your own people. ”
The audience was in an uproar, after Mrs. Yang showed such outstanding casting skills, Huang Yingge was still unwilling to admit defeat, Ling Bomen, that cloak master, is really so powerful?
Baiyun Sect Leader An stood up as usual: "Lord of the Yellow Gate, it just so happens that the Gang Master Liu is also there, and the old man has a good proposal, I don't know if the two of you are willing to adopt it." ”
Huang Yingge nodded politely: "Sect Master An, please speak." ”
"Yang Lao's casting skills, all of us present are obvious to all, and I believe that no one is not convinced. Under this kind of casting technology, what is called "skill" and "quantity" has become a meaningless number. If Yang Lao participated in the first two casting skill competitions, I believe that she would be the only one who could compete with the masters of your faction in the end. Since the Yellow Door Master intends to let the masters of the door face off against Yang Lao, it is better to put aside other irrelevant conditions and distinguish the superior from the inferior by the quality of the finished products. Now that the magic knife cast by Yang Lao is in your hand, let the master of your faction also cast a magic knife, and then fight the two magic knives against each other, the one who breaks first will lose, and use one game to determine the victory or defeat of the three competitions of the entire casting technology department, how about it?" An said with a smile as usual.
Before Huang Yingge could speak, the others shouted first, and the mountain called this method wonderful.
Huang Yingge was slightly embarrassed: "This ...... If the two knives fight together, there will be a loss, and there may be a loss of both, which is a pity. ”
"Heh, with the grandeur of Lingbo Gate, I believe I won't spare one or two good weapons, right?" An Ru often used the method of agitation, "I don't know what the opinion of the Liu Gang Leader is?"
Liu Qianling said: "As long as my mother agrees, I have no opinion." ”
Mrs. Yang said to Huang Yingge: "Hurry up and ask that 'cloak girl' from your faction to come out!"
"Lord of the Yellow Gate?" An asked again as usual.
At this time, the situation could no longer tolerate Huang Yingge's disagreement, so she had to respond: "Okay, I'll come when I go." ”
"No need, I'm here. A voice sounded outside the crowd, and the 'Cloak Girl' Ainana appeared, "I have seen the casting process of Yang Lao, and I have also heard your words. At the suggestion of the Sect Master, I immediately began to forge the sword, and after the casting was completed, the two knives fought to determine the victory. ”
"The quality of this magic knife is not low, it is much better than mine, it would be a pity if it was broken. Huang Yingge sighed.
Those who guessed her mind were laughing secretly, such a shrewd door master, who didn't even give a word to remind him.
"Don't worry, I won't lose. Ainana jumped onto the cast. She walked over to a casting table, selected a few random pieces of casting material, and threw them into the forge. Then she took two more things from under her cloak and placed them on the side of the table.
"Wait!" suddenly someone in the audience shouted.
