Having said that, I really didn't expect Liu Qi to be able to mix to this extent now. When I established the Kyushu Society, I just heard Zhang En say that Liu Qi was an ancestral blacksmith, so I made him the hall master of the Instrument Hall.

To be honest, when Liu Qi first became the head of the equipment department, he was like other blacksmiths, he could make an iron or something, at most it was a little better than what ordinary blacksmiths could create.

But now, Liu Qi's performance is completely beyond my imagination. I saw that his eyes were focused on the iron on the board, and the hammer was extremely fast, but it was not messy at all, but it gave people a feeling of enjoyment, as if they were enjoying a play.

I don't know how long it took, but Liu Qi's piece of iron had been beaten very neatly by him, like a work of art. Then he began to finalize it, and I knew that it was a very important step in building a weapon, even if it didn't determine the quality of the weapon, but it could determine whether it was a weapon or not.

I watched as Liu Qi slowly hammered the piece of iron into the shape of a sword, and as he dropped the hammer, the piece of iron was highly compressed, becoming thin and long. At this time, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd.

Looking towards the place where the sound came from, he saw a group of people surrounding a person, at this time his iron block had been completely shaped into the shape of a sword, and Liu Qi's was only a half-finished product. Hua Man said with some concern: "I didn't notice this person before, it seems that he is a strong enemy, so fast!"

Hu Mu said: "It's not just fast! You take a closer look, his sword blade is stacked with twelve layers! It seems that he is the first in this competition!"

We didn't understand any of this, so I asked Hu Mu, "What do you mean by the twelfth floor?"

Hu Mu explained: "To build a weapon, whether it is a knife or a sword, the more times the blade is stacked, the sharper it is. And the one who already knows the most is sixteen layers, and he has superimposed a full twelve layers, which is something that many elders in the gang can't do!"

I was a little surprised: "This guy is so powerful, who is he?"

"I've never seen him before, but according to legend in the gang, the gang leader has a personal disciple, and it seems that he is him. In my opinion, the helper wants to take the opportunity of the forging club this time to let him win, so that he can take over his own work, this is really a good hand!"

I smiled, "The leader of this Blood Soldier Gang is quite scheming. But these have little to do with us, even if he wins the first place, the twenty catties of Tianshan cold iron can't run. I'll give you a task, can you do it?"

Hu Mu straightened up, "Please speak!"

"What about you, during the time of the competition, help me inquire where this person lives and what the surrounding terrain is, and then tell me, so that after the game is over, we can steal the Tianshan Cold Iron. ”

Hu Mu put on an expression that he didn't expect, "What, the gang wants to steal the cold iron of Tianshan Mountain?"

I nodded, "Seeing that it is very difficult for Liu Qi to take the first place, we have to be prepared with both hands! Actually, I originally wanted to go directly to the treasure house of the Blood Soldiers Gang to steal it, but the garrison there must be very tight, so we still wait for the forging meeting to end and go to the person who got the Tianshan Cold Iron to steal." Don't worry, since I made a move, I will definitely be able to steal it, but you, can you do the task you just gave you?"

"Yes!"

......

Besides, Liu Qi's side, while we were talking, he had also completely made the iron into the shape of a sword, and I asked Hu Mu: "How many layers is he?"

Hu Mu took a look at it and said, "Nine-layer! Hall Master Liu is really powerful, I heard that he has only been in the Blood Soldier Gang for three years, and he has already been able to create a nine-layer blade weapon." ”

"Haha, it seems that we don't have to worry about the weapons of the Kyushu Council in the future!"

After a series of cumbersome procedures, Liu Qi finally completely built this sword. At this time, there were already three people on the field who had completed it one step ahead of Liu Qi, namely Du Fei, the apprentice of the leader of the Blood Soldier Gang, and one I didn't know.

After a while, everyone else finished their work, and only a few were still sweating and anxious to continue building.

Finally, a man stood up from the side of the leader of the Blood Soldier Gang and shouted, "It's time!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing, and the man said, "If you haven't finished yet, please leave consciously!"

About a dozen people left the arena with a sigh when they heard this. Then the man said, "Please bring your sword and wait for me to judge." ”

The contestants tied their own swords with strips of cloth, wrote their names on them, and handed them to the leaders and elders of the Blood Soldiers.

They began to pick up the swords of the contestants, and looked at them one by one, and they saw very quickly, ten people, almost ten swords each. Most of the swords were brought by them at a glance, and only a few were carefully examined, including Liu Qi's.

Finally, after looking at all the swords, they took out the swords they were responsible for and compared them. During this period, no one in the square happened, and they were all waiting for the result.

Finally, the elder who had announced the end of the competition stood up again and said, "Fellow members of the Blood Soldier Gang, the results of the first round of the Forging Forge have come out, so let's ask Elder Wang to announce it." ”

He sat down, and another old man who seemed to be unable to move stood up. Hu Mu said beside him: "This person is Elder Wang Mingwang, don't look at him now, he can't hold a hammer now, but Ta was a famous figure when he was young, and all the weapons he built were first-class weapons! ”

The old man began to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will announce the results of this round. First place: Wu Feiyu!"

There was a round of applause from the audience, and I saw the man we had suspected to be a disciple of the Blood Soldier Gang Leader stand up, smiling and clenching his fists in all directions.

"Second place, Xie Zhen!" another person beckoned to the cheers of the audience.

"This Xie Zhen is also a disciple of an elder in the sect, and his casting ability is also well known to everyone. I just looked at it, and the sword blade he created has a total of ten layers, which is one layer more than Minister Liu's. It seems that the third place should be Minister Liu. Hu Mu said.

I nodded, "Liu Qi, this kid really didn't disappoint me, I think at the beginning, he could only fight some farm tools and ordinary weapons, and now he can rank third in such a big gang as the Blood Soldier Gang! ”

At this time, the old man on the stage opened his mouth again: "Third place, Du Fei!"
