Chapter 84 Divine Pattern Heavenly Casting Colorful Dragon Scales
“Cheer up, everyone.”
“It will almost become an embryo tonight.”
Shi Junshan, Earth Deep in the Dragon Fire Cave.
Li Shuguo, who was shirtless, held a pipe in his mouth, looked back and forth like an eagle, and drank loudly from time to time.
In front of him stood two steel-making furnaces three to four meters high.
The raging underground fire melted the ore, secret gold, tin, nickel and other materials in the furnace into a furnace of molten iron.
As for the guys from the Chen family, they were similar to him. They were either shirtless or rolled up their sleeves, holding hammers and forging hard.
Although this fire cave has been discovered, only six or seven days have passed.
But it is completely different from before.
Not to mention a plank road was carved out of the rock wall.
In the tiankeng at the rear, an underground cave of nearly 100 square meters was also dug out, and a palace building with double eaves resting on the mountain was built.
In addition to placing the materials for sword forging.
It can also be used for them to rest.
At first, the Chen family’s guys were a little unbearable.
But over time.
In addition, the work of blacksmithing seems simple, but in fact it is extremely tiring.
I have been busy for a long time.
Not to mention having a bed, bedding and mattress, I can fall asleep immediately even in a ditch.
Although it is hot in the fire cave, it is precisely because of the amazing fire.
There are hardly many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in Shijun Mountain, not even the shadow of mosquitoes.
Twenty guys.
Add Li Shuguo.
Fire the furnace to make steel, then beat it, and continue to melt the water back into the furnace.
Over and over again, day and night.
Under such busyness, the process of sword forging is also accelerating.
At least it was much faster than the usual three days of fishing and two days of drying nets on Fengwo Mountain.
However.
Li Shuguo didn't complain at all.
If he was extremely resistant when the Chen family man came to the mountain, he was simply forced by the situation and had no choice but to do so.
But now, he only has one thought in his mind.
That is to forge the sword as soon as possible.
For this reason, he devoted almost all his attention to it.
That section of more than 30 kilograms of secret gold has been tempered no less than thousands of times.
Not only that.
He also looked through the weapons manual.
Ferite, tin ore and nickel stone are mixed into the furnace. In this way, the forged sword can be soft but not brittle, strong but not broken, unstoppable, capable of cutting jade and breaking iron.
"Shopkeeper Li, come and see, is it done?"
It takes just one pack of cigarettes.
While Li Shuguo was still thinking about how to integrate the demon tendons into it when the embryo was ready.
Suddenly the guys' exclamations came from the distance.
He pulled off the cigarette rod with a snap, hung it around his waist, and strode towards the forge.
Not long after.
When he walked to the iron pier, he looked down at the iron embryo that had been tempered many times by the light of the stove.
It is different from the original color that was first brought back.
At this moment, the iron embryo actually reflects the light and shadow like a rainbow version. At the same time, the patterns appear to be naturally formed, shaped like dragon scales, making it look somewhat astonishingly mysterious.
See this scene.
Although Li Shuguo had forged countless weapons in his life, his lips could not help but tremble.
"The color is like a rainbow, flowing colors, and the shape is like dragon patterns and dragon scales!"
"Grandma, can I see such a miracle in this life?"
< br>
Seeing him laughing and scolding.
The Chen family guy next to him couldn't help but be confused.
I don’t know whether it is good or bad.
During this period, in addition to eating, sleeping, and dreaming, the thirty or so people were hammering away at iron rods.
They don’t know how to forge weapons, and they only have strength. Anyway, they will do whatever shopkeeper Li tells them.
So many days have passed.
There were originally more than thirty kilograms of secret gold, but now there are only about ten kilograms left.
The impurities are visible to the naked eye.
The whole piece of secret gold is transparent inside and out, like a fire jade.
“Liucai, Hanzhang, Lingbao, dragon scales, turtle back, starry sky, dripping water, these are the rarest patterns on ancient swords, known as the divine patterns.”
Seeing a bunch of people so ignorant.
Li Shuguo explained with a grin.
Seven major ornaments.
Now there are two lines on this sword embryo.
You must know that the ancients believed that the patterns were divine and had no rules, so even the most skilled weapon refiner could not guarantee that he could cast the patterns of dragon scales and turtle backs.
"This..."
"Does that mean you are talking about something good?"
"Nonsense, this name has a lot of meaning to it, it's both rainbow and dragon scale."< br>
“It’s worth working hard during this period of time.”
With his endorsement, the hanging hearts of a group of waiters finally fell back into their stomachs with peace of mind.
All of them were smiling happily, with longing written all over their faces.
Although it is only the first step.
But it’s such a good start.
When the day comes when the long sword comes out of the furnace, there will be no white rainbow piercing the sun and the sword energy filling the sky?
What is the key.
The shopkeeper spent so much time searching for fire and sending people to Hanyang to retrieve the secret gold.
The person invited is the contemporary mountain owner of Honeycomb Mountain.
You can imagine with your toes how much importance he attaches to this sword forging?
What if a peerless sword was forged.
It is true that shopkeeper Li is the number one hero.
But these people, without any merit, still have to work hard, so they can still get some soup to drink.
No one knows about Zhuangzi.
The shopkeeper is generous and never stingy.
Maybe when you are happy, you can reward one person with ten or eight yuan, which is not as comfortable as fighting from head to toe, with your head hanging on your belt?
The more I think about it, the more excited I become.
The smile on his face couldn't be hidden at all.
“What are you still doing?”
“Turn on the furnace!”
Li Shuguo’s mood was also extremely agitated.
This has not been integrated into the inner muscles of the great demon, but the sword embryo alone is so amazing.
Even he couldn't imagine what level the Han Sword would reach after it was released.
Don’t dare to delay.
I saw him wave his hand, and the sound was like a big bell, echoing around the fire cave.
A group of guys responded to the call.
I started to get busy as if I had been given a shot of chicken blood.
There is no feeling of sadness.
Two strong and agile men stepped on the wooden ladder and quickly climbed up the stone wall, one on the left and the other on the right, and soon passed the furnace that had been sealed for smelting.
Stabilize your body.
Raise the iron hook with both hands and use the combined force to lift the furnace lid.
Boom!
In an instant.
The furnace, which had been burning for six or seven days, was like an iron flower, with heat waves and flames rising into the sky.
More than ten meters away.
The temperature above the tiankeng is much lower than that in the steel-making furnace.
The firelight that spread all over the sky quickly extinguished, and only a few of them still rose slowly on the wind, and finally floated out of the main peak of Shijun Mountain.
Like fireflies in the night.
Twinkle and twinkle.
And deep in the sinkhole.
After the fire light dissipated, looking at the furnace of molten iron, the workers around could not help but roar.
Li Shuguo, who was standing in the crowd with his hands behind his back, also let out a long breath.
This pot of water was much better than he expected.
The advantages of earth fire are perfectly reflected at this time.
The underground fire on Yuhua Mountain is only about twenty feet tall, but it is already considered a big fire.
It is enough for casting ordinary weapons.
Forging the great demon and fierce soldiers seems to be much weaker.
"Insert the sword embryo and its inner tendons."
"Then, turn off the furnace and smelt for three days!"
Li Shuguo shook his head, dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to remind the guys to do things in an orderly manner. .
The demon tendon was split into two by him.
It didn't look as shocking as before, but the moment it was taken out of the jade box, the surging demonic energy still caused the raging fire to shake a few times.
Guys who can be sent here.
They are all absolute confidants.
Three generations from top to bottom have been working in the Chen family.
Although they were shocked by the length of the inner tendon, each of them looked calm and did not cause any noise or panic.
Sword embryo and inner tendons.
As soon as he entered the furnace, he was instantly swallowed by the molten iron.
The two guys quickly resealed the furnace lid without any hesitation.
Feel the heat wave dissipate instantly.
Li Shuguo finally felt at ease. He took out the cigarette rod again, tapped it on his heel a few times, and smoked slowly.
"Okay, let's go and have a rest."
"I'll just watch from here."
After hearing this, the guys who had been busy day and night for several days finally finally He breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile on his face.
I bowed my hands to him, and then strode towards the palace building in the cave behind me.
A bunch of people were exhausted both mentally and physically.
Li Shuguo, who had also stayed up for a few nights, felt more energetic than usual.
A few days ago, he had someone send a letter back to the mountain.
No matter what, it can at least let his family know about his situation, and it can also reassure the apprentices and craftsmen, so that they will not be distracted by this matter.
“It takes six days to embroider and three days to melt, that’s nine days.”
"Then... when only the green and white air is left in the furnace, the sword can be made."
"Six or seven days are enough for casting, quenching, tempering, grinding, sharpening, and shaping."
Breaked out smoke.
Li Shuguo secretly counted the time.
The day he set up the steel-making furnace, he issued a military order, saying that within ten days or at most half a month, the big monster and vicious soldiers would be ready.
It seems now.
The time should be just right.
In the diffuse smoke, there was only a smile of expectancy on his always stern face.
Wait until a pack of cigarettes is finished.
Li Shuguo finally noticed a little sleepiness.
He raised his head and looked outside the mountain.
The originally pitch-black sky was already covered with a hint of fish-belly white.
But the full moon has not completely set yet, like a silver plate hanging halfway up the mountain.
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Shuguo looked at the steel-making furnace in front of him again.
At this moment, the boiling drums in the furnace continued, and wisps of black smoke filled the air.
"Almost..."
Muttered in a low voice.
Without any hesitation, he carried the tobacco pole and wandered towards the palace building.
Open the door.
It took a while.
Snoring could be heard all over the bunk bed.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He didn't disturb them and walked towards his bed.
Shijunshan fell into a deep sleep.
Changsheng Building in Xiantanling.
A south-facing window on the second floor was also slowly pushed open.
In the window, a face in his prime was reflected, as if he had just woken up, with a look of sleepiness and laziness in his eyes.
“The rising sun is born.”
“Visualize inside and outside.”
“It’s time to get up and practice.”
Red girl blinked, playfully Said to himself.
Only when a person is alone, the youthfulness she inadvertently reveals will make people realize that she is still a young girl.
It’s just that there is too much hatred and pain on my body.
Let her be as cold as ice all the time.
Awe-inspiring.
I subconsciously ignored her age.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed since the last time the shopkeeper came to the mountain to guide her in her practice.
Miss Hong never dares to relax in the slightest.
Visualization once in the morning and once in the evening.
Absolutely unprecedented seriousness.
She closed the window and returned to the room. She washed briefly and put on a coat and skirt.
Go downstairs and head straight to the back mountain.
Half a year ago.
Miss Hong never quite understands why the shopkeeper is always in the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain, staying there for a day or even several days.
Now, she finally realizes it.
At that time, it was clear that his Taoist practice had reached a critical stage.
This can also be explained.
Why does the shopkeeper of the ancient raccoon monument outside Yizhuang have the ability to slay demons?
Why is it that the leader of moving mountains, Partridge Post, is so amazed?
But...
The past comes to mind.
It didn't make her have other ideas, but it only motivated her to move forward.
The shopkeeper is so capable.
You can calm your mind and practice wholeheartedly.
Now that I have not even reached the threshold, I should work ten times a hundred times.
Unknowingly.
She had already reached the depths of the bamboo sea.
This area of deep silence with no one to disturb is most suitable for meditation practice.
Sit cross-legged on the ground.
Miss Hong took a deep breath, got rid of distracting thoughts, and began to fall into concentration little by little.
The bamboo leaves rustle outside, the breeze blows on my face, and in the blue sky, a rising sun breaks through the fog and rises slowly.
Bask in the warm sunshine.
Her expression quickly became peaceful and peaceful.
A pair of eyes as clear as water, reflecting the rising sun, the bamboo sea, the mountains, and the dewdrops one by one, with distinct colors.
When the shopkeeper left that day.
I once told her to watch the sun rise in the morning and watch the moon rise at night, and meditate carefully to achieve a state of transparency and integration inside and outside.
now.
Her aura was clearly approaching that scene.
"Huh——"
Wait until the sun rises in the sky.
The light also changed from warm to hot.
The red girl also opened her eyes.
"Finally...I entered samadhi for three minutes."
Taking a gentle breath, she murmured in a low voice while looking at the bamboo leaves falling in the wind.
Three minutes.
It still seems very long.
But for her, it was a huge improvement.
You know, that day in Changsheng Tower, it took her half an hour to get into meditation.
Visualizing the sun and moon these days is equivalent to shortening time several times.
Thinking of this, her moonlit face couldn't help but reveal a hint of expectation.
Once you enter thirty breaths.
Then you can truly practice the Xuan Dao Conquering Qi and Building the Foundation Skill.
She traveled extensively with her family's opera troupe since she was a child. In order to defend herself, she started practicing martial arts at a very young age.
But secular martial arts are not as good as Taoist methods after all.
The former trains his body in order to kill and achieve perfection.
The other is to eliminate the false and preserve the true, pursuing physical detachment, spiritual connection, and eternal soul.
What's more, the Foundation Building Technique is inherited from the Yinxian Sect. Once you enter the Qi Refining Pass, you have crossed the Dragon Gate.
Thinking all the way.
The red girl enjoys the mountain scenery casually.
Almost half an hour later, I returned to the outside of Changsheng Building.
But...
Not yet entered the village.
In the distance, under the shade of a tree from the martial arts arena, a guy came up to meet me.
"Red Leader, just now a brother from Zhuangzi came to report that Mr. Kidnapping has returned from the provincial capital. The shopkeeper asked you to come over."
"Is the kidnapping back?"
Hear this.
The red girl's eyes couldn't help but light up.
During this period, Huama went to the provincial capital to buy gold and jade artifacts. He was away for half a month.
Chen Yulou is the shopkeeper again.
Everything on the mountain, big or small, fell on her.
To be honest, she really has no experience in these matters. Small things are okay. When encountering big and difficult things, she will call people to discuss them together.
But the kidnapper is astute and is best at balancing things.
No matter how difficult it is, it can be easily solved.
It can also convince everyone.
“Okay, I understand.”
“Go back first, I’ll go right away.”
With a wave of his hand, he sent the messenger away.
Girl Hong obviously felt that the burden on her shoulders had been reduced, and she felt much more relaxed.
His hands behind his back, he opened the door and entered the village with a smile.
I went back to the room and took a comfortable hot bath.
I just changed into a long skirt.
Ride down the mountain and rush to Chenjiazhuang!
Thank you Feng Fenglan, Qiulian, and the third son of Luzhou for your rewards, as well as all the bosses for your monthly support, I love you so much
