Chapter 134: Porcelain Burning

After waking up early, yesterday's alcohol had not dissipated, and he couldn't even remember who sent him back yesterday, Li Moru went out and began to practice martial arts in a nearby wood.

He began to take deep breaths, practiced the most basic pile-walking, the wind blew through the forest, just enough to take away the accumulated alcohol in his body, and then began to practice blacksmith boxing.

The fist is like a blazing fire, the body is the salary, endless, endless, a punch blasted out, an explosion sound came in front of him, and the trees broke instantly, although now the blacksmith fist has begun to gradually exert its power, and the last time in Su Kui's house, I accidentally realized that Qingfeng swordsmanship and blacksmith fist have faintly improved, but I still feel that the blacksmith fist is a little unsmooth.

Li Moru remembered the Dao Realm he had entered at Hongyunzi before, and it seemed that the state he had entered at Su Kui before was similar to the Dao Realm, but there seemed to be a difference between the two, and later at the couple in Tangzhou, when they had an epiphany, Mo Ruo Yiming, they seemed to have that feeling.

He was thinking about the connection, wanting to use it to increase his martial arts and find his own way, and for the first time, he experienced the death of Yiyi, and a kind of powerlessness and self-blame came to his heart.

During that time, his mind was very messy, as if it was blocked, which made him a little breathless, and later, thanks to Hongyunzi's enlightenment, he was able to get out of that state, and gradually had a little more understanding of life and death, and that was the first time, he came into contact with the way of martial arts.

The second time, at Su Kui's place, he suddenly had an epiphany for some reason, it may have been deposited in the previous months in Hongyunzi, and it broke out in Su Kui's place, that state, Li Moru's Qingfeng swordsmanship and blacksmith fist, overnight, have been greatly improved.

Later, at the couple in Tangzhou, Li Moru was troubled by Mr. Mo's affairs and what Mo Yan said, hovering between good and evil, good and evil, right and wrong, and because of one sentence, Mo Ruoming got out of the confusion.

These three times are generally two, because the second is just the deposition of the first, and he wondered about the connection between the two.

"The tree is thousands of feet tall, and the leaves fall back to the roots. It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. ”

He sat cross-legged, the trees moved and the wind roared, at this time, Qin Yingru came to look for him, saw him sitting cross-legged, and asked: "Li Gongzi, I can't find you in the morning, I used to sit here." ”

"Miss Yingru, I'm practicing martial arts here, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I'm coming to you for breakfast, by the way, I didn't see the fired porcelain yesterday, do you want to go and see it today?"

"Okay. ”

Li Moru got up and followed behind Qin Yingru, who entered and changed into a light green long-sleeved shirt and long skirt, walking lightly.

When they arrived at the porcelain shop, Zhong Kui and Yin Yao had just woken up, with sleepy eyes, and when they saw Li Moru and Qin Yingru coming back, Zhong Kui said: "Brother Li, this won't be going out to practice martial arts." ”

"I'm idle, I'm just loosening. ”

Zhong Kui said with a smile: "Brother Li is talented, and he is so diligent, no wonder his martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, it seems that over time, I am afraid that there are few people in the rivers and lakes who are your opponents." ”

"Brother Zhong Kui has won the award, the rivers and lakes are big, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, how can it be beyond the reach of Moru's little end, but it is Brother Zhong Kui, who has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and his martial arts are strong and admirable. ”

"Brother Li is too modest, it's only been a few months, and now, Zhong is no longer your opponent, it's true that the rivers and lakes are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Brother Li's talent is also true. ”

Yin Yao handed a bowl of porridge to the two, "You guys, don't admire each other in the morning, hurry up and have breakfast." ”

After breakfast, under the leadership of Qin Yingru, Li Moru went to Qinjiayao.

Qinjia kiln is built according to the mountain, the kiln is about ten zhang long, elongates along the slightly inclined mountain, the kiln is composed of three parts: the kiln head, the kiln chamber and the kiln tail, the kiln head is set up with a fire chamber, and the kiln chamber is divided into several orders.

There are several kiln doors on both sides of the ladder passage to install the product channel. Each section is provided with firewood holes at the kiln wall on both sides, and is symmetrically arranged. The end of the kiln is provided with a fire retaining wall, the bottom of the wall is put through the smoke hole, and the fireworks lane is set up behind the wall, which is about one zhang high and one foot two wide.

Qin Yingru told Li Moru that the kiln was designed to make full use of the heat generated by the kiln by using the principle of the height difference of the slope and the natural rise of the flame.

Li Moru couldn't help but admire the cleverness of the design and saved a lot of materials.

After the two walked into the cave, Qin Yingru took Li Moru and followed the workers pushing the clay cart into the cave where the raw materials for making porcelain were placed.

On the side, the workers who came in and out were mixing the soil with water, and when they saw Qin Yingru coming, they greeted her, "Why is Miss Yingru so idle to come here to see us and the mud today, and who is this little brother next to her?"

Qin Yingru said with a smile: "Master Zhang, this Li Gongzi is our friend, and he said that he is interested in burning porcelain, so I took him to take a look, how is it, how is the quality of porcelain clay today?"

"It's okay, but, seriously, if you want to burn the porcelain, you still need the soil on those high ridges, and the feel is simply incomparable. ”

"Master Zhang, you also know that in the past few years, all the soil has been dug up by the kilns near Jingzhou, and it is already rare to find these. ”

"yes,"

"Master Zhang, then we won't bother you, let's go ahead and take a look. ”

Li Moru reached out and touched the porcelain clay, which felt delicate and soft, "Miss Yingru, this porcelain clay feels so soft." ”

"That's natural, otherwise how could you make porcelain so smooth and full. ”

Li Moru looked at a large vat in the distance, which contained a milky white thick liquid, "What is this?"

Qin Yingru said: "This is a glaze slurry, after making the porcelain embryo, it has to be coated with glaze, sintered into plain porcelain, and then colored after cooling, and then returned to the furnace for the second time after coloring." ”

The two of them walked forward, and saw two or three people kneading porcelain embryos, the plate under them turning, and the people on top were slowly kneading the desired shapes with their hands, and there were many porcelain embryos that had been kneaded and put to dry.

On a whim, Li Moru tried it himself, but what he needed to knead was skillful, and he would always be crooked when pinching, and later, he had an idea, gathered his palm with internal force, and then kept the shape of the mud tire under the rotation, and finally, pinched out a wine jar.

After washing his hands, he followed Qin Yingru to the kiln where the porcelain was fired, and before he got close, a heat wave had already hit, Li Moru grew up beside the stove since he was a child, and he had already adapted to this temperature.

I saw that someone put the glazed plain porcelain into the kiln, the charcoal fire burned red, and the mud bricks were piled up around, looking at the red-hot charcoal fire, Li Moru actually felt a sense of intimacy, at this time, he remembered that he had promised to cast a weapon for Mo Xuan'er, but in the past year, there has been no time.

Qin Yingru and Li Moru walked inside, only to see the cooled plain porcelain neatly piled up at the feet of a person over there, who was about fifty years old, with colorful paints and brushes around him, and saw him quietly depicting the exquisite patterns on the porcelain alone.

He was very calm, each stroke was carefully outlined, Qin Yingru said that the person was the master in charge of the second return of the porcelain here, and there were three people here who did the same work as him.

I saw that after the plain porcelain in the man's hand was painted and dyed, he got up gently, smiled at Qin Yingru, and then used something to hold the plain porcelain that had been colored next to him and put it in different kilns.

Li Moru asked by the kiln: "Master, why is this in a different kiln, aren't these all plain porcelain colored and then fired, shouldn't the heat be the same?"

The human: "You don't understand this, the colored porcelain is divided into three categories, the first category, is the glaze color, the glaze color on the porcelain pattern requirements are exquisite, the color is rich, such porcelain firing, the heat can not be too big, too big, the color is easy to change, lose the original color. ”

"And the second kind, glaze color, the requirements for heat is higher than glaze color, only in this way, the pigment can be integrated into the porcelain in the firing process, so that the color can appear full and layered. ”

"The third type, color glaze, such as Tang Sancai, is similar to the glaze color, which requires rich and vivid colors, so the heat should not be too high. ”

"This porcelain, like being a man, pay attention to the fire in everything, if you go too far, everything must have a purpose and limit, and restrict something for evil to achieve a certain goal, which is similar to what we call the law, everything has its rules, and if you follow his law, you can succeed, otherwise, it will lead to failure. ”

Therefore, there must be a limit to how you are a person and a person who does things, and don't act recklessly, otherwise, you will be punished by God. ”

Li Moru said: "However, good people do not have good rewards, on the contrary, sometimes, good people have evil rewards, why is this, is it because they exceed that limit?"

"A good person who does good deeds for the sake of good retribution, is it still a good person, if it is not for good retribution, then good retribution and evil retribution, what is the difference, just like we burn porcelain, you carefully prepare, for fear that the fire will go wrong, but it is inevitable that everything is fine, and you also carefully design the porcelain pattern, but there are not a few porcelains that are burned in this way, but I can't say that because this will burn the porcelain, just say that there is a problem with this practice, right?"

"So good people have evil retribution is the same as burning porcelain, not within the reach of manpower, before the porcelain is not baked, no one can know its good or bad, but, in order to get as good as possible, we can only try not to make mistakes in the process, as for the result, the final result of the firing is not something we can control, so we have to do our best, listen to the mandate of heaven, do what you can, as for the result, what is the matter?"

Li Moru was thoughtful, whether it was porcelain burning or being a person, some things were like this, just like many things he encountered, what the result would be, he couldn't predict, all he could do was to do his best, and let the result go as good as possible before the result came out, but what did it matter what the result was.

Li Moru bowed to the old man and said, "Thank you, Mr. for your advice." ”

The old man smiled: "Tell me something, I'm just good at burning porcelain, and I only know such a little thing." ”
