Chapter Twenty-Five: A Treasure Piece

......

"After the four fires of annealing, normalizing, quenching, and tempering, the sword becomes hard and sharp, and at the same time extremely tough. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info among them, quenching is the most critical, and if it is not well controlled, this sword will be scrapped. Moreover, different sword materials have their best quenching solution, and the more high-level sword materials, the more precious the suitable quenching solution is. ”

"This sword is forged from moire steel and black iron, and this cold spring in the Sword Casting Pavilion is the best quenching solution for it. Mei Qixin said and slammed the fiery red sword blank into the spring, and the spring water around the sword blank suddenly boiled, but there was no trace of heat coming out.

This cold spring in the Sword Forge Pavilion is the source of the mountain spring in the courtyard outside. This cold spring is quite peculiar, but it is bitterly cold but never frozen, and it does not know where it came from.

After the four fires were burned, the sword body was finally done. The next few processes such as cold forging, shaping, opening, polishing, polishing, and raising light are mainly for aesthetics, and do not affect the quality and performance of the sword.

The sword body is completed, followed by the sword grid, sword handle, sword eye, and sword pier.

The sword grid is commonly known as the gauntlet. The effect is to prevent the opponent's long sword from slashing along the blade and slashing the fingers and arms. So as long as it is hard enough, Mei Qixin used black iron to forge the sword lattice as a whole.

"If the opponent's sword can easily cut through the black iron, it means that the quality of his sword is much higher, this is a battle that is not on the same level at all, either admit defeat or run for your life. ”

The hilt of the sword, Mei Qixin uses red sandalwood. Rosewood grows slowly, and it cannot be grown for hundreds of years, and it is extremely difficult to obtain large materials. The wood is hard and dense, suitable for carving a variety of exquisite patterns. The texture is slender and floating, with endless variations, and the tones are deep and stable. It is regarded as the best in the wood, and there is a saying that "one inch of red sandalwood is one inch of gold".

The sword eye is the second most important part of the first sword body. Only a handful of gems can be used as sword eyes, as a bridge between the sword master and the sword.

Mei Qixin took out a light brown gem from a treasure box and set it on the hilt of the sword, and as the light changed, a very spiritual light jumped in the gem.

"This is a tiger's eye, a bean-sized one that is worth a thousand crystals. Mei Aoxue said behind Ou Chuyang. Ou Chuyang came to learn the way of sword casting, and she was naturally a "husband and wife".

The last part: the pier of the sword. In Ou Chuyang's impression, this thing had no effect at all, and it seemed to be just used as a decoration to make the whole long sword look more complete and coordinated.

But Ou Chuyang was wrong, very wrong. The first function of the sword pier is the counterweight, if there is no sword pier, then the center of gravity of a long sword is in the middle of the sword body, and it is very heavy to wield, which affects the flexibility of the sword. Therefore, the sword pier is very heavy, and it is attached to the hilt, which shifts the center of gravity of the long sword towards the hilt, increasing the flexibility of the sword.

The second role is even more critical, Ou Chuyang has already seen that at the beginning, Mu Chenyu "transformed" many of the items he purchased into the long sword, and the mystery was on the sword pier. When casting the sword pier, Mei Qixin mixed it with more than a dozen colorless and transparent crystalline powders.

"This is a secret treasure with the effect of space storage, the dust of chaos. Each grain of powder can be refined into a unique space of one foot square, worth hundreds of spars. Mei Aoxue dutifully explained in detail.

"Uh-huh. Ou Chuyang nodded again and again, "This sword is full of treasures, I can be regarded as truly seeing what a sword is." "This powder is worth thousands of spars, and that gem is worth thousands of crystals...... From this point of view, Mu Wanqing bought the good treasure with seven thousand spars, and it was really not a loss.

Mei Qixin held the freshly baked sword and pulled two sword flowers, and the cold shadow was full of silver light, and the power was amazing.

"Congratulations to my father! Mei Aoxue snuggled up to Mei Qixin's side obediently, and said coquettishly: "You see that Ou Chuyang's sword is just a treasure craftsman, and taking it out is simply insulting the reputation of my Qianyuan Sect's Sword Casting Pavilion...... Anyway, this sword has just been cast, and there is no name and no owner, so it is better to let Ou Chuyang take it first......"

Ou Chuyang was sweating...... Senior sister started to move things for him from her mother's house......

"Before you get married, your elbows will start to turn out and love you?" Mei Qixin smiled, "A superb treasure, to say the least, is worth two or three hundred thousand." You let Ou Chuyang take him out, didn't you plan to let him come back alive?"

"With me by his side, who else dares to kill people and snatch swords?" Mei Aoxue said proudly.

"Do you just follow him all the time?"

Ou Chuyang didn't wait for Mei Aoxue to answer, and said first: "Thank you for your kindness, senior sister." Now that I have studied the art of sword forging with Master. Then in this life, I, Ou Chuyang, only use the sword I forged!"

"Well, that's what a little swordsmith looks like. Mei Qixin nodded approvingly, and became more and more satisfied with Ou Chuyang, whether it was as his disciple or as a "quasi-son-in-law".

The sword is forged, and naturally a scabbard must be tailored for it. The scabbard is composed of four parts: the sheath, the sheath, the ring, and the sword mark.

In order to maintain the overall beauty of the sword, the sheath is generally made of the same material as the hilt, so the scabbard of this sword is also made of red sandalwood, which is calm and elegant without losing the luxury.

In addition to storing swords and decorations, the scabbard of this world also has its core function: the warmth of the sword. This core function is completed by the sheath, the sword mark and the two protective rings.

Mei Qixin handed Ou Chuyang an old silk scroll embroidered with several complicated and mysterious patterns, which Ou Chuyang remembered seeing on the "Sword Classic".

"This is the Yun Sword Spirit Array, which can absorb the essence of heaven and earth sword qi to warm up the sword and nurture the sword soul. ”

"Sword Soul?" Ou Chuyang asked in amazement.

"That's all a legendary thing, and ordinary people can't touch that level at all. Mei Qixin carefully carved on the sheath made by Ugin, "However, since the Sword Book records this sword spirit array, there must be a reason. The swordsmiths carved their seals into their scabbards. ”

Finally, after the valve-cast sword mark was attached to the top of the scabbard, this superb treasure was basically completed. There are two steps left in the end:

First, name and engrave the name of the sword on the root of the sword body. Some swordsmiths also have their names engraved on the other side.

The second is to open the light. After fasting and bathing, burning incense and praying, the sword is sacrificed with the blood of sacrifice. Pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, jackals, tigers and leopards can all be sacrificed, and some brutal people will even use living people for blood sacrifices.

Mei Qixin's father and daughter have their own swords that have been with them for many years, and Ou Chuyang plans to forge the sword by himself, so the two steps of naming and consecrating are waiting for the future owner of this sword to complete.

The sword was cast, and Mei Qixin also used up the sword energy and energy in his whole body, and as soon as he came out of the Sword Casting Pavilion, he went into retreat to recuperate. Mei Aoxue said that throughout this year, Mei Qixin will no longer forge swords.

Ou Chuyang is self-aware, and if he wants to forge a sword alone, his heat is still far behind. The top priority is to improve the cultivation of the sword and break through the sword guard.
