Ou Chuyang took root in Duan's blacksmith shop and devoted himself to studying the way of smelting. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info in a snap of the fingers, three months have passed in a flash. Ou Chuyang has completely mastered the basic methods of ironmaking and steelmaking, and has become Master Duan's right-hand man.

"Brother Ou, Uncle Duan. Xu Ruonan came in with a big bowl of fragrant broth, "Today's winter solstice, there is a pot of mutton soup stewed at home, and Daddy asked me to bring some to you and Master Duan." ”

"I just made a good pot of wine today. Master Duan said, "Go and invite your father to come over and celebrate the festival together." ”

"Okay!" Xu Ruonan said before going out: "Uncle Duan, you should also marry a family." Otherwise, this is the New Year's holiday, how lonely the house is. Do you want me to ask Aunt Zhang to help you find a search?"

Master Duan laughed, "I see, let's let Aunt Zhang help you be a matchmaker first." ”

"Uncle Duan!" Xu Ruonan snorted, turned around and ran out.

While eating, Father Xu looked at Ou Chuyang and said, "In the winter, why are you still naked." Go back and ask Ruonan to sew you a padded jacket, don't freeze your body. ”

Xu Ruonan's face turned red, and he bowed his head and was silent.

"It's all right, it's very hot in the blacksmith's shop, and it's burning all day long. Ou Chuyang smiled and bent his arm, "You see that my little fresh meat has turned into back to the pot." ”

"Are you just staying in the shop and not going out? Master Duan said, "If the needlework of men and girls is famous far and wide, it is really excellent." ”

"Oh, that's going to be a nuisance. ”

"Don't bother......" Xu Ruonan replied softly.

Father Xu and Master Duan looked at each other and smiled, smiling without saying a word.

......

"It's a pity ......," Master Duan sighed as he stroked the freshly cast sword, "If this steel is a little purer, this sword can become a treasure." ”

Ou Chuyang knew that the sword forged by the swordsmith was called a craftsman, and the sword forged by the swordsmith was a higher grade and called: treasure. Each grade is divided into three grades according to quality: good product, treasure and superb product.

The Mingshuang Sword that Mu Wanqing bought that day was a good treasure, worth as much as seven thousand. If Master Duan's sword could reach the level of a treasure weapon, its value would increase several times and become a real treasure among the swords.

"If you want to improve the purity of steel, shouldn't you reduce the proportion of toner?" asked Ou Chuyang tentatively.

"If you reduce the toner, the temperature will be lower, and if the combustion is not sufficient, there will be more impurities. Master Duan shook his head, "Now this ratio is the world's common steelmaking formula, which can be said to have been tempered and tempered, and it cannot be easily changed." Unless...... A portion of the toner can be replaced with an accelerant that is highly efficient and free of impurities. ”

"Accelerant ...... Booster ......" Ou Chuyang stepped aside and began to use his brain.

......

Ten days later, a waterwheel was erected on the creek behind Duan's blacksmith's shop, and a long iron pipe protruded from one side of the waterwheel to the side of the furnace. A wooden shed was erected next to the furnace, and two steel pipes protruded from the shed, one erected high and one inserted into the furnace.

The helpers in the blacksmith shop pointed their fingers and wondered.

"What's this stuffing?"

"Who knows? Ou Chuyang said that he wanted to test a way to improve the purity of steel. ”

Master Duan has been refining steel for half his life, and he hasn't seen any strange things come out. He, Ou Chuyang, has only been an apprentice for three months, so he thinks he can't do it?"

"Who knows, let's just watch the show here, and see what he can do. ”

Ou Chuyang was accepted as the only disciple by Master Duan when he first arrived, which really made many veteran helpers quite dissatisfied.

"Ignition!" Ou Chuyang ordered loudly, deaf to the surrounding discussions, and then shouted at the three helpers on the water truck: "Step hard, hurry up!"

"Boom!" The fire in the furnace became more and more intense, and the temperature became higher and higher, and the helper in charge of watching the fire in front couldn't help but take two steps back.

"This ......" Master Duan looked at the roaring fire in the furnace and was amazed.

"This is called the method of producing oxygen from water electrolysis. Ou Chuyang smiled slightly, and the knowledge learned in the classroom finally came into use.

"......" Master Duan didn't know what to say at all, but he still stared at the furnace with great anticipation.

"It's done?" Master Duan was the first to rush to the furnace mouth, reaching out and probing a sword qi into the fiery molten steel.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Master Duan's face, could it really succeed?

After a while, Master Duan withdrew his sword qi, walked up to Ou Chuyang, and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm really not mistaken, you are a genius!"

"Wow!" was amazed all around.

Ou Chuyang smiled slightly, and said in his heart: I am not a genius, I just stand on the shoulders of scientific giants......

"For thousands of years, the method of steelmaking has been hammered and tempered...... It was so easy to be a smelting apprentice like Ou Chuyang, who had only been in the smelting for three months...... Changed?"

"He's not an apprentice smelter, he's officially a smelter. ”

Becoming an official smelter means that Ou Chuyang has already graduated from school. No matter where you go in the future, you will at least be able to eat a stable meal under the swordsmith.

"Tiezhu, go and move a few jars of good wine. Two dogs, go and chop ten catties of beef and ten catties of pork ribs...... Forget it, if there is any good food, you just have to buy it back. Master Duan was extremely happy and ordered, "Today, everyone is eating and drinking openly, and they are not drunk. ”

......

"Father Xu, what else do you have to hesitate about? Our Chen Shihua and Chen Gongzi are the brother-in-law of He Wenyuan, the eldest son of Elder He of the Yundu Sword Sect, if you climb into this family business, do you still need to worry about eating and drinking spicy food in this life?"

A young man dressed as a rich son, sitting on the side, drinking tea leisurely, with a hint of smugness on his face, presumably it was Chen Shihua Chen Gongzi in the mouth of the matchmaker,

"This ......" Father Xu hesitated and said embarrassedly: "Thanks to Chen Gongzi, it is a blessing for the little girl to look up to the little girl." It's just that...... It's just that a few days ago, the old slave had already promised Master Duan to marry the little girl to his disciple Ou Chuyang. Look at this...... It's such a coincidence......"

"Is it?" Chen Shihua stretched out his hand and said, "What about the marriage contract, where is the letter of appointment!

"This ...... Although there is no letter of appointment yet, this matter has indeed been said, if you don't believe it, you can ask Master Duan. ”

"Don't take Master Duan to press me, without a letter of appointment, this marriage won't count. In two days, I will bring a sedan chair to pick up people, if you dare to push again, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless. Let's go!"

When he went out, Chen Shihua whispered left and right: "Keep an eye on the kid surnamed Ou for me." ”

......

"Chu Yang, this sword has been reforged. You make a trip and send it to the Yundu Sword Sect. Master Duan commanded.

"Recast?" Ouyang asked, "Is it to restore the broken sword?"

"It's not. Master Ou replied, "After the sword is cast, it can also be improved by using higher-grade materials. However, only the swordsmith of the original sword can be reforged. Because, the material properties and casting techniques of this sword are only clear to the original swordsmith. ”

"It turns out that it can still be like this...... Ouyang took the box containing the sword with both hands and carried it on his back, "Master, I'll go." ”

Walking to the foot of Yundu Mountain, Ou Chuyang stopped and took a breath, looking at the box containing the sword, his curiosity was aroused. After coming to this world, he has heard too many things about swords, but he has not touched the sword with his own hands, what is it like?

Ou Chuyang looked at no one around, so he took out the sword and held it in his hand.

"It doesn't seem to be anything special?" Ou Chuyang held the hilt of the sword with his right hand with doubts.

Suddenly, a wave of heat flowed onto the tip of the middle finger.

"It's really weird!" Ou Chuyang let go of his right hand, and the heat flow disappeared.

Ou Chuyang stared at a dark green gem on the hilt of the sword, stretched out his index finger and tentatively pointed it, feeling the heat flow into his index finger again.

"It's the heat flow that this gem produces. Ou Chuyang tried a few other fingers, but he tried again and again.

This gem is not a sword crystal, could it also contain sword qi Ou Chuyang changed direction and held the hilt of the sword with his right hand again, this time his fingers did not touch the gem. The gem was clinging to the palm of the hand, but the palm did not feel the heat flowing.

Palm of the sword?

I understand! Ou Chuyang stood up suddenly, and his heart suddenly brightened.

If the sword door is not opened, the muscles and veins are blocked, the palm cannot sense the heat flow, and the sword qi cannot be absorbed from the sword crystal, so it is impossible to practice swordsmanship. This is the secret of the Sword Gate!

But why do my fingers sense the heat flow? Does anyone else do that? Or am I the only one......

Although there are no answers to these questions for the time being, Ou Chuyang still can't hide the excitement in his heart, "Cangchang", draws his sword in his hand, and the hot flow continues to enter his fingertips.

Is this the sword of this world? Is this what it feels like to come out of a sword without a word?

Suddenly, Ou Chuyang's mind lit up, and the golden light was sheng. It was the golden light that shot into his eyebrows in the mysterious hall! Ou Chuyang finally made out that it was the word "sword" in ancient seal script!

There was a strong feeling in his heart that was about to erupt, and Ou Chuyang swung sixteen swords in a row according to this feeling, like sixteen strokes, and wrote a sword word in the air.

After writing a sword word, Ou Chuyang felt the heat flow in his fingertips getting hotter and hotter, and the feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. He couldn't stop at all, drawing one sword after another, writing the sword words in the air continuously. I just feel that the more I write, the smoother I become, and the more I write, the more comfortable I feel.

Ou Chuyang was completely intoxicated, as if the pores of his whole body were stretched, which was extremely comfortable. The sword word in my mind became clearer and clearer, as if exuding a simple and desolate atmosphere, and it seemed to convey all kinds of profound information......

I don't know how long the sword danced, and I don't know how many sword characters were written. When the sun was sinking in the west, Ou Chuyang stopped, and the sweat completely soaked the padded jacket, but he didn't feel tired at all, he only felt very happy in his heart.

"I can finally practice my sword!" Ou Chuyang shouted at the sky, he firmly believed that his feelings were absolutely not wrong!
