Liangcheng, inside Zhuojian Villa. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At dawn, "squeak......

With the sound of the door opening, the door of the inner courtyard was opened.

Then a man appeared at the threshold, and before he could take a step, he heard a woman's voice from behind.

"Master, why did you get up so early?"

The man frowned, turned around and said, "Madam, I've always been restless these days, maybe it's because I'm about to forge my sword!" the man said in a deep voice.

Since Yue Hongtang sent the meteorite to Zhuo Jian Villa, Zhuo Song, the owner of Zhuo Jian Villa, has made a lot of preparations for sword casting. After most of the materials were ready, he began to inform the relevant people of Zhuo Jian Villa about the new sword he was going to forge, and then everyone understood what Zhuo Song was busy with during this time.

Maybe the more well prepared, the more unsteady he feels.

"Master, it's not the first time you've forged a sword, how can you be so anxious?"

"Madam, do you know, this sword casting is not like the past, the casting of this sword is related to the future survival and prosperity of our Zhuo Jian Villa, and there can be no mistakes. ”

Looking at Zhuo Song's frowning eyebrows, Mrs. Mu Xuan was also a little melancholy.

"Yifan, this kid doesn't know where to go, if only he could help you!" Mu Xuan said.

Hearing this, Zhuo Song sighed deeply and said, "Hey, don't mention this kid, what's the use of him, it will only make me angry, not better!"

After Zhuo Song finished speaking, he walked out with a straight face.

"Master, I'm just casually talking, why are you angry!" Looking at Zhuo Song's back, Mu Xuan hurriedly explained.

Seeing him walk away, Mu Xuan shook his head and said, "Hey, this stinky temper, I really can't do anything about him." Then he hid his face and sighed deeply, "Fan'er, where did you run away, this kid?

......

Zhuo Song, who went out, strode towards the forging pavilion, and now what he was most concerned about was not his son Zhuo Yifan, but how to forge a high-grade sword, which was best compared to the Vortex Huang Sword.

Zhuo Song knew that the Flying Meteorite could be very difficult to melt, as could be seen from the time when his father forged the Vortex Sword, because it took three months to melt the meteorite at that time.

At present, if you want to melt the flying meteorite, you must need special furnace burning materials, and it is only possible to melt it by buying high-quality black stone from Shuozhou City at a high price and buying stone water from Hecheng, and mixing the two together to burn it. Zhuo Song then ordered people to go to Hecheng and Shuozhou to buy furnace burning materials.

Since they hadn't refined the best swords for many years, the two ancestral trait furnaces had been shelved for too long, and some of them were damaged, so they had to be reinforced.

After a number of preparations were ready, Zhuo Song once again immersed himself in studying the casting process of the Vortex Sword, and personally tested the suspicious points in the Forging Pavilion.

In this way, from early autumn to winter, the entire sword-casting process was prepared. According to Zhuo Song's original plan, he only waited for the next year to forge the sword.

Japan is a time of joy for the family, after all, it is the end of the past and the beginning of the new day. The reason why swords are cast immediately after the year is because there is a saying that swords are not cast in May and July.

Because May is known as the Poison Moon, and July is known as the Ghost Moon, they are not suitable for casting swords, otherwise it will be unlucky, and it is not conducive to the formation of the sword body, let alone the performance of the sword.

Although the black stone and stony water had been bought from outside, it should not take months to melt the flying meteorite like the meteorite used to melt and cast the Vortex Sword, but given that the energy of the flying meteorite was much higher than that meteorite, Zhuo Song still left room in time to ensure that the sword was cast before May, otherwise if the sword was cast during May and July, the sword's anger would be very heavy, and the evil and righteousness would be unpredictable, and it would be impossible to control.

In this way, Zhuo Song advanced the time of casting the sword, not waiting for the years to come, but starting to cast the sword from now on, only in this way can he be more assured.

After all, Zhuo Jian Villa has been engaged in the sword casting business for more than 100 years, and has its own ancestral sword casting process and process, so it can still cope with the casting of this powerful sword. Zhuo Song redesigned the new sword to be cast based on the sword style and the prototype of the vortex sword that he had supervised for decades, and the general criteria were to increase sharpness, toughness, and hardness.

According to the designed sword pattern, Zhuo Song ordered the sword fan master to make the sword fan to ensure that the groove in the sword fan was smooth, smooth and smooth, and beware of bubbles when casting. At the same time, the internal space of the sword fan should strictly control the proportional relationship to prevent the spacing from being out of balance, resulting in uneven force on the sword body and causing damage.

After the completion of the sword fan, Zhuo Song mixed the flying meteorite, high-quality and high-grade dark iron, and the alchemy stone purchased from the Jianghu warlock into some of the black stone particles used for the furnace fire according to the weight of the flying meteorite, according to the configuration ratio standard of the Zhuo Jian Villa's secret collection, and finally placed it on the special furnace. When weighing these sword casting materials, Zhuo Song controls them very strictly, accurate to the baht unit, which can be said to be more than baht, not the slightest difference.

After that, Zhuo Song ordered the firemaster to slowly add black stone and stone water to the bottom of the furnace, starting with a slight simmer, slowly expanding the range of the fire, and constantly increasing the temperature of the flame. When the fire burned to a certain extent, the flames took on russet, cherry red, light orange, pale yellow, and bright white, and the temperature in the furnace continued to rise.

The first fire burned for a full ten days, and the flying meteorite did not melt when the furnace was opened, Zhuo Song was slightly disappointed, and lost his peace of mind as always, as if he had not expected it.

He first ordered the smelter to filter the impurities from the vessel, and then poured the melted material into the vessel again. After that, the firemaster was ordered to strictly control the heat, and the vents on the side wall of the furnace were opened, so that everyone kept fanning the air inside, and the black stone at the bottom of the furnace was erected in a regular shape, leaving a large gap in the hollow side, and at the same time, the stone water changed the method of the first pouring, but poured into half the height of the black stone.

In this way, it was calcined for ten days, but the flying meteorite was not melted away, not even part of the surface layer. After that, Zhuo Song still ordered someone to filter the utensils to further remove impurities, and then put the melted matter into the utensils according to the last operation steps to continue to melt. This has been repeated three times, but the melting of the meteorite has not been obtained.

"It seems that it will take two or three months for this meteorite to melt!" Zhuo Song couldn't help but shake his head.

Zhuo Song retracted his mind and walked out slowly.

He walked through the stone chamber and into the courtyard, and then stopped, watching as the leaves fell and the flowers withered.

His current mood, just like this season of late autumn and early winter, is full of prosperity, leaving mottled scars. (To be continued.) )
