Chapter 173: The Art of Striking Iron
Under the guidance of Shangguan Huo, Su Nan began a life of learning refining weapons.
There is only one thing she has to do every day, striking iron, striking iron, and then striking iron.
After this lasted for half a month, Su Nan became a little impatient, and next to the huge stove in the backyard, she threw a hammer the size of someone's head on the ground, "Senior brother, how many more days of iron do I have to beat?"
Although Su Nan refused to call Shangguan Huo his master, he still called Shangguan Zhu a senior brother.
Anyway, this honest and honest senior brother can't beat himself to death because his junior sister is not angry, but Shangguanhuo's hot-tempered old man is not necessarily, although he is still kind to himself at present.
It's just that now Su Nan feels that he has been deceived by Shangguan Huo, and he didn't want to teach himself alchemy at all, but deceived himself to help strike iron.
Shangguan Zhu stopped striking iron and wiped the sweat on his face with the towel on his shoulder, "Senior sister, don't think how easy it is to strike iron, although striking iron is the most basic thing in refining, but there is also a lot of knowledge, I have been learning refining tools with Master for so many years, but Master still said that my iron is not good enough, so I let me practice from scratch with you." ”
Su Nan really didn't want to learn the knowledge of striking iron, and she didn't dare to ask, every time she asked how to make the iron well, she could learn the next step, Shangguan Zhu had a lot of things to say.
What, the hardness and temperature of the iron sheet, as well as the skill of destroying and knocking, in short, it is endless, and Su Nan can't understand it, it's really annoying.
In her opinion, the only knowledge of striking iron is to strike hard, to strike hard.
Shangguan Huo had just finished refining a magic weapon, walked out of the refining room, came to the backyard, and saw that the senior brother and sister were lazy, and couldn't help but put on a straight face, "Refining is a craft work, and craftsmanship pays attention to practice makes perfect, you can only become a refining master by constantly beating and treating refining tools as your own energy." Patient and lazy like you......"
When the two brothers and sisters heard Shangguan Huo's teachings, their reactions were completely different.
Shangguan Zhu half-hung his head, humbly listening to the lecture with guilt, while Su Nan was smiling, picked up the teapot placed on the side, poured a cup of tea and walked over, "Master, are you thirsty?
After saying so much, can you not be thirsty?
Shangguan Huo picked up the teacup and drank tea, Su Nan plucked out his ears, and his ears finally became quiet.
Seeing Shangguan Huo enjoying the tea, Su Nan leaned over with a face, "Master, you see that I have been practicing iron-striking for so long, and I can do it, can I learn the next step?"
Shangguan Huo, who put down the teacup, began to talk endlessly, and Su Nan felt that the honest Shangguan Zhu opened the chatterbox as if he was chattering, it must be because he was influenced by Shangguan Huo since he was a child.
"You have only been practicing iron-striking for half a month, what kind of time is this? Your senior brother has been learning iron-striking with me with a small hammer since he was sensible, and he has not learned it well until now, and he has to go back and learn again, so you dare to say that you can already know how to strike iron after learning for half a month?"
Although Shangguan Huo talked a lot, he was quite gentle to Su Nan, Su Nan was naturally not afraid of him, and directly retorted: "Master, you can't compare me with Senior Brother, it's not you who said it, Senior Brother has no talent in refining." ”
Shangguan Zhu lowered his head, and the master actually disliked himself to the point of telling the new junior sister that his talent was not good.
Feeling Shangguan Zhu's resentment, Shangguan Huo was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain, "How did you talk like this kid? When did the old man say that your senior brother is not talented? The old man just said that he couldn't play iron. ”
The resentment around Shangguan Zhu is even heavier, striking iron is the foundation of refining tools, he has learned from being sensible to middle age, and the master actually said that he can't beat iron well.
Shangguan Huo also felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed the topic, "Don't talk about your senior brother, just talk about the old man, when I first started following the old man's master, I have been striking iron for the first few years, this iron is the cornerstone of refining, if you don't do a good job, if you don't do ...... well."
Here it is again, this rhetoric is exactly the same as Shangguan Zhu.
Su Nan really couldn't listen to it anymore, and interrupted Shangguan Huo's chatter, "Master, what kind of iron should be beaten?"
This month, Su Nan has played not 1,000 pieces of iron, but also hundreds of pieces, swinging the hammer every day, his strength has grown a lot, and his accuracy is much stronger than before, and he thinks that his preliminary learning is already qualified.
Shangguan Huo sighed, this female doll was still modest when she first saw her, why did she lose patience after only half a month of study?
Picking up the hammer that Su Nan had thrown aside, Shangguan Huo's whole person became serious, and he took out a piece of red-hot iron in the furnace with a big iron tong, put it on the iron pier, and then beat it hard.
Under the hammer of the hammer, the iron becomes extremely tough like dough, and can be beaten round and flattened, and then it becomes a piece of iron, and then it becomes a round ball......
A quarter of an hour later, Shangguan Huo put down the hammer and was already a little out of breath, although he had the cultivation of the Jindan period, he was already four hundred and seventy years old this year, and there was not much left in his life, and his energy could not be compared with that of a young man.
"See, this is the art of striking iron, to make it hard and elastic. After calming down his breath for a while, Shangguan Huo pointed to the iron on the iron frame with some pride and said.
Shangguan Zhu's head had already been raised, his eyes were shining, and he admired Shangguan Huo in addition to worship.
Su Nan's watch was a little weird, "Master, are you sure that as long as the iron is beaten like this?"
"This is not a simple matter, many refining masters do not have this ability, now people are getting more and more anxious, thinking that even if the foundation of kung fu is not laid, it doesn't matter, as long as the progress is fast, they don't know at all, this will affect their future development. Shangguan Huo said with some embarrassment.
Those refining masters who don't pay attention to the basics are estimated to stop here in this life, and it is impossible to refine the legendary divine magic weapon in their lifetime.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Huo became sad again, although he had a solid foundation, he still hadn't practiced the magic weapon of the divine product, and there was not much longevity left, and it was estimated that there was no hope of seeing the magic weapon of the divine product born in this life.
Looking at Su Nan, Shangguan Huo rekindled hope, this is a good boy with talent, although he is also a little anxious, but if he teaches it well, he may be able to refine a magic weapon in the future.
Su Nan had already taken out another piece of reddish iron and put it on the iron frame, took a deep breath and began to strike iron, she knew that as long as the iron was beaten like dough, she had already done this, and she had wasted all her efforts on striking iron.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the piece of iron was beaten like dough by Su Nan, and Shangguan Huo and Shangguan Zhu were dumbfounded.
