Chapter 190 The oil is gone and the lamp is dry
When Lou Gao opened the heavy metal door of the No. 1 casting room, Ling Yi saw the Iron Buddha for the first time. Before Lou Gao, this was the only one in Douluo Continent in the past fifty years. The divine craftsman.
Before Iron Buddha Tu, Douluo Continent had magic craftsmen, and there were many magic craftsmen. The [Blacksmiths Association] here in Gengxin City was born at the suggestion of a master craftsman hundreds of years ago.
If we talk about Tiefutu’s contribution to the blacksmith profession, or its special innovations, in fact, in the history of Douluo Continent dating back thousands of years, it is not actually the most amazing group of talents. .
For example, the one who created the "Chaos Cloak Hammer Method"; For example, the one who developed hundreds of metal alloy formulas more than 700 years ago; For example, the one who figured out the soul a thousand years ago The one who strongly supports combustion and provides furnace temperature tips...
But no matter how it is, those predecessors from thousands of years ago are just characters in the blacksmith's inheritance, and Tiefutu is Ling Yi's uncle. It was he who, after receiving a letter from his senior brother King Kong after decades of absence, asked his proud disciple Lou Gao to travel thousands of miles from the southwest of Douluo Continent to the northeast of Douluo Continent to find Ling Yi. , passed down various forging techniques and metal formulas that are enough to establish a sect in the profession of blacksmith.
The existence of Master Jingang from "Muzhi City", Tiefu Tu and Master Lou Gao from "Gengxin City" gave Ling Yi a heartfelt recognition of his identity as a blacksmith.
The scene when Mr. Tiefutu met Ling Yi for the first time was unexpectedly dull. There was no overly warm welcome, no impatient questions, no long talks or endless discussions. It was just a simple meeting and meeting. dialogue.
The old man put down the forging hammer that he had not put down for several years, and turned to face Ling Yi who was standing at the door.
The white hair on his head is a little messy because he has not taken care of it for a long time. His face is red because he has been staying by the stove all year round. His dark pupils are not sharp at the moment, but they are very deep. Looking at Ling Yi:
"Are you Ling Yi?"
The tone of the voice was plain, the voice was old, but it was very loud, just like the still burly and tall figure of Iron Buddha.
Ling Yi crossed his hands on his shoulders, bowed respectfully, and greeted him respectfully: "Ling Yi, the thirteenth disciple of the Vajra Sect of the Blacksmith Master, has met Uncle Tiefu Tu. Be well——"
In the world of soul masters, this kind of action is a courtesy for juniors who have seen their seniors. But Ling Yi has only done this to Tiefutu so far.
When he took Master Vajra as his teacher, Ling Yi served tea and water while bending down. In the subsequent interactions, they still bowed and saluted.
Others, whether it was Song Yao, the leader of the Cold Wind Camp, the Soul Emperor-level 'Marquis of Cedar', or Dugu Bo, who was also the Soul Emperor when they met later, or the healing soul in the Tiandou Border Army. Neither Wang Artimus nor Ling Yi had ever saluted in such a strict manner.
“You are very good, really very good.”
Looking at Ling Yi’s salute, a smile appeared on Tiefutu’s face, and the wrinkles on his forehead that were originally like knife carvings were now gone. Calm down a lot.
After complimenting Ling Yi a little dryly, Tiefutu looked around at his relatively spacious No. 1 foundry room. Seeing that there was almost no place to sit, he did not hesitate and said directly to Ling Yi:
"Ling Yi, my place is a little messy, so I won't invite you to come in and sit down. I'll let Senior Brother Qinlou Gao take you to sit next door. I'll be back soon..."
With that said, he ordered Lou Gao: "Go to No. 3, your place is probably not much better than my place -"
"Okay, Master."/"Yes! Master "
Ling Yi and Lou Gao responded in unison, and then bowed to Tiefutu together, and then exited the No. 1 casting room under Tiefutu's hand.
"Let's go." Lou Gao raised his chin towards Ling Yi and gestured towards the No. 2 and No. 3 casting rooms not far away: "Master is right, my place is even more chaotic than here. Go Let’s take a seat on the 3rd.”
“Okay, senior brother, you can arrange it~” Ling Yi replied with a smile on his face.
At this time, Silong and Yang Xueli, who had just arrived at the door of Casting Room No. 1, followed the path Lou Gao and Ling Yi took before they had a chance to see Tiefu Tu. The fifth floor serves as the office area of the [Blacksmiths Association General Assembly]. In fact, it is better to say it is a forging area. After all, what else could the office of a group of blacksmiths be besides forging?
There are a total of thirty-six casting rooms, each of which is about 500 square meters. There is a forging area with furnaces, bellows, anvils, etc., and metal ore storage. There is a material area for burning coal, charcoal and other raw materials, as well as a testing area for testing the power and quality of finished products. It also provides a rest area for blacksmiths to eat, sleep and wash.
Ling Yi frowned while walking in the corridor, and a hint of gloom flashed under his eyes.
In the short encounter just now, Ling Yi made an incredible discovery:
Iron Buddha's body was almost exhausted—! ! !
'No, although Tiefutu is now over eighty years old, with his Soul Saint level strength, he is not too old at this age -' Ling Yi thought inexplicably.
You must know that Mr. King Kong, who is far away in the "Muzhi City" in the "Shuimu Principality", is also the senior brother of Tiefu Tu. He is a few years older, and his strength is only a three-ring soul master. The last time Ling Yi saw him When he met the other party, his physical condition was pretty good and he was in good spirits.
Although a soul master's lifespan cannot exceed the limit before he becomes a titled Douluo. How long he can live depends mainly on the maintenance of his physical condition. However, the stronger the strength, the easier it is to live to the end of ordinary people. This is common sense.
Unless there is some hidden injury on the body, in the final analysis, it still depends on the fullness of one's own vitality and the speed of its loss.
For soul masters before Titled Douluo, the upper limit of the total amount of life energy is fixed, but each person's physical condition is different, the amount contained is also different, and the speed of passage is also different. Therefore, in Under the same ideal conditions, some people can live to be a hundred years old, while some people will die without any disease when they reach eighty.
The higher the soul power, generally speaking, the better the soul power is in nourishing the soul master's body, the more abundant the vitality will be, and it can also effectively block the vitality and slow down its passage. Therefore, , the stronger the soul master is, the slower he will age.
'It was because of a hidden injury that caused the vitality to pass too quickly. This is why the Master of the Soul Saint level, even though he is several years younger, is in worse physical condition than the Master of the Soul Master level. Want it to be bad? '
'But if it is a hidden injury, the life energy has been lost to this extent, but the strength of the body still does not drop much, and the fluctuation of soul power still remains at the Soul Saint level, which is not consistent with common sense——'< br>
Ling Yi secretly speculated.
"Junior brother, come on, come in and sit down." Lou Gao pushed open the metal door of the No. 3 casting room, with a smile on his round face.
"By the way, I was just talking to you and failed to take care of your little companion...Little girl, I'm sorry, sorry--"
It was only then that Lou Gao noticed the side next to him. Silong and Yang Xueli first threw the blame to Ling Yi, and then said apologetically to Yang Xueli with a smile.
