"Little brother, after the evaluation starts later, I have to go down to help the Zhuang shop, and I won't accompany you when the time comes, so you can watch it slowly by yourself." "Liu Dali is here for this.

"Don't worry, you go, I'll go shopping by myself. "Mingxuan has been looking forward to this moment for a long time!

A gong sounded, and the sword tasting meeting began!

Sword, one of the weapons, belongs to the "short soldier" ranks, known as the "king of a hundred blades" and "the king of short soldiers", in hundreds of weapons has always occupied the supreme position, enjoys a high reputation, is also the most favorite weapon of most warriors, to have a weapon in hand is the dream of all warriors, which is also the reason why everyone is so looking forward to this product conference.

The craftsman who casts weapons, the most basic is to cast a sword, but the most difficult is also to cast a sword, casting a good sword almost takes a swordsmith's life's effort, you can use a material to cast, this material to the extreme, you can also use a variety of materials to mix, use the characteristics of various materials to achieve the best fusion, of course, in the end, are different paths, cast a peerless sword.

Soon each Zhuang shop put their own proud work on the stage, for a time full of cold light, sword spirit overflowing! Each Zhuang shop exhibited all of their best works this year, every detail has been studied to the extreme, exhausted efforts, not only the appearance is gorgeous and beautiful, hardness, toughness, Sharpness is also the best choice in all aspects, because of the different materials, some emit this forest white light, some are faint blue light, and a little bright yellow light, colorful, compete for beauty, see everyone is intent, itchy and unbearable, everyone dreams of having a handle.

A gong sounds, and the tasting begins!

Everyone rushed down, looking at this dazzling sword, they all wanted to take it for themselves immediately, and they all couldn't put it down and looked at it carefully, Ming Xuan was no exception, his eyes were almost straight, but he was not as attracted by the appearance of the sword as others, but felt each sword with his heart, he only had this one move, if he looked at it with a professional eye, he was really a big layman.

"The appearance of this sword is indeed gorgeous and beautiful, but it doesn't feel very good, and it doesn't feel as good as Gongsun Ze's Xuantie sword. Ming Xuan took a sword and felt it carefully, and then said secretly.

The appearance of each sword is handled extremely carefully, gorgeous and beautiful, but after feeling it carefully, it is found that it is just gold and jade, and many feelings are not as good as those swords in the Zuojia arsenal, it seems that many Zhuang shops are too much to pursue the beauty of the appearance, but despise the real inner essence, so that the overall quality of the sword can not go up, no wonder Liu Dali is confident that this year Zuojia Tiezhuang can enter the top five, it seems that what he said is true.

"Hmm, the appearance of this sword is good, but the pattern on the hilt of the sword is actually a lotus flower that is not stained by mud, for a blood-stained weapon, it is really not very appropriate, and when the sword body is lightly tapped, the sword sound is light but there is a trace of turbidity, obviously there are more impurities in the sword, and the tempering is still not enough, it can only be regarded as a medium-grade asset" A handsome boy next to him was commenting on a sword, although the words were too direct, but the sentences were to the point, so that the shopkeeper on the side was embarrassed, but there was nothing to do.

"It turned out to be Ou Gongzi" Ming Xuan turned around, it turned out to be Ou Zhiyang, who he had seen in the strange shop before, and he was also the second son of Ou Jia Tiezhuang.

"It's Little Brother Gu, you're also here to watch the sword!" Ou Zhiyang obviously remembered him, and greeted him warmly.

"This is a grand event in Boiling City, I have to see what I say, I didn't expect to meet you. Ming Xuan smiled and said.

"I'm also bored, our Ou family doesn't need to participate, and other people in the village have no interest in this, so they have to run over alone. "As the first family of casting, this level of evaluation is really not attractive to them, and this second son, who has been away for a long time, will be so interested.

"Listening to Ou Gongzi's insights just now, it seems that he has a lot of attainment!" After listening to his pertinent comments several times, Ming Xuan admired it from the bottom of his heart.

"I grew up in Tiezhuang since I was a child, although the casting kung fu in my hands is not good, but the vision is still good, or let's go together, I'll give you a good explanation. "Ou Zhiyang is a person who can't stand loneliness, and it's better for two people to hang out together than to hang out alone.

"I can't ask for it!" Ming Xuan didn't object.

So the two walked together, Ou Zhiyang is worthy of being the son of the first casting family in Boiling City, his understanding of sword casting technology and his eye for scrutiny are not comparable to Mingxuan at all, even better than many owners of Tiezhuang, along the way he has a good taste of every sword, and he is the first to say that Mingxuan also felt it carefully, and it was indeed in line with his evaluation under the confirmation, so he admired it even more, and when he saw Mingxuan's admiring eyes Ou Zhiyang was even more excited, and began to talk endlessly.

"Look at this sword, the sword body is a little purple, at a glance, you can see that Ziyang Iron was added when building, the original intention was to make the appearance of the sword different and attract attention, but unfortunately I didn't grasp the amount when I joined, and I added it a little too much, so that the color of Ziyang Iron covered the true color of the sword, and it was a bit noisy, and too much Ziyang Iron would also affect the toughness of the sword, so this can only be regarded as a medium-grade sword. Ou Zhiyang shook his head regretfully.

"We've been looking at it for so long, and it seems that no sword has been able to enter your eyes, so what kind of sword can be among the top grades, and even enter the top ten. Ming Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, it depends on the number of the top one, although the number of each block is a bit random, but it is basically based on the strength of each iron village, so the top ten swords can be cast, and the number will generally be relatively high. "Ou Zhiyang still knows these things well.

"I see. "No wonder Ming Xuan felt it for so long, and he didn't even find this sword that exceeded his hand.

"We don't have to waste time here, go to the front! After Ou Zhiyang finished speaking, he pulled Ming Xuan forward.

"Look at this sword, the sword body lines are smooth, the color is bright, although the material is ordinary mortal iron, but obviously after thousands of tempering, there are very few impurities, the sword sound is very clear, and the toughness and hardness are the best choice, can enter the top grade! Sure enough, the number is slightly higher and the quality of the sword has also improved a lot, and Ming Xuan also felt it, it was similar to the feeling of this handle in his hand, it seemed that this handle in his hand could also be regarded as a top grade, Ming Xuan couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.

Because of coming to the top-numbered Zhuang shop, Ou Zhiyang's evaluation was suddenly a lot higher, and almost every piece was rated by him as a top-grade sword.

"Well, isn't that Uncle Liu's shop? Let's go! Ou Zhiyang found Liu Zhiming's shop and hurriedly went over to say hello.

"Hello Uncle Liu!" Ou Zhiyang saluted respectfully, and Ming Xuan also bowed on the side.

"Oh, it's Zhiyang, and Little Brother Gu is also there!" Liu Zhiming was also very happy to see them.

"Uncle Liu, how are the swords you participated in this year? Ou Zhiyang is still very curious about this.

"Okay, I'll show you, test your vision. Liu Zhiming was not ambiguous, and handed it to him directly, it was still a sword with an extremely inconspicuous appearance, and it seemed that he still wanted the sword to go sideways.

"Hmm? I actually use corn stone! The melting point of cloud stone is extremely high! And it is very brittle, not suitable for sword refining, no! The color of cloud stone is yellowish, and the sword body is not its true color, so other materials should be added, by the way! Black cloud iron is also added! Uncle Liu, you actually use two main ingredients!" Ou Zhiyang couldn't help but lose his voice, you must know that although ordinary people will use a lot of materials to cast swords, there is generally one main material, and the others are auxiliary materials, so as to ensure that the body of the sword can achieve the desired effect, and if two or more main materials are used, then their configuration ratio is slightly different, and the casting effect will be very different, and it is extremely difficult to get control, so few people will try it like this.

Although the marble has a high melting point and brittleness, it can have a miraculous effect after being mixed with marite, which can not only effectively remove the impurities of marite, but also increase the toughness of the weapon. Although Liu Zhiming's words are light, the hard process between them is not something that others can understand.

Ming Xuan took the sword and felt it, it was indeed much stronger than Ming Xuan's previous feelings, far better than the sword in his hand, it was really a good sword!

"Well, it's really better than the effect of using black cloud iron before, not only has the sword body become lighter and less bulky than before, but the toughness has indeed improved a lot, but to be honest, Uncle Liu, don't be surprised, although the color of this appearance is softer and brighter than before, it still looks very inconspicuous, a fly in the ointment, but in the opinion of the little nephew, it should be no problem to enter the top ten!" Facing Liu Zhiming, who was a master of foundry, Ou Zhiyang was not as casual as before.

"My family knows our own affairs, this is our ancestral craft, you don't know it, but I am still full of confidence in this product conference!" Although Liu Zhiming said this, his words were somewhat lacking, after all, the stiffness of the appearance of the sword he cast could not be ignored.

"I also have full confidence in Uncle Liu!" Ou Zhiyang said kindly.

"Why do you care so much about the appearance of the sword, as long as the inside of the sword is good?" Ming Xuan was puzzled by this.

"Having said that, there are many famous swords in ancient times whose appearance is also unpretentious, but it still can't be changed is people's pursuit of beautiful appearance, after all, the first thing everyone sees is the appearance, the first impression is very important, and the appearance of the quality is also a test of the casting technique from a certain degree. Ou Zhiyang is also helpless about this, but this is also a fact.

"Well, it's really a narrow road, I didn't expect Brother Liu's Zuojia Tiezhuang and Shen Kang's Shen Tiezhuang to be next to each other!" Ming Xuan inadvertently saw these two shops not far away.

"Let's go, Brother Ou, let's go over there and have a look!" As soon as the words fell, Mingxuan pulled Ou Zhiyang and walked over there.
