My Weird Life

   Chapter 379 Forging of the Heart (12)

  'killing stone' is a very rare ore,

  If it wasn't for An Gang, the craftsman of An Gang's Sword Casting Institute, who had made a lot of sharp weapons for the nobles and nobles, otherwise he would not be qualified to use this kind of ore to train swords.

   Even if the sword casting has a certain quota of 'killing stones',

   But most of the time,

   is also a priority to supply Master An Gang and several craftsmen who are completely inked in the "Taishan Hundred Demons Cannibal Banquet" from the Sword Casting Institute.

   After ensuring their supply, the remaining 'killing stones' and their leftovers will be handed over to ordinary craftsmen and apprentices to use.

   A sword made from the ore from which the sword was cast,

   is owned by Forge Swords and can be sold at will.

  Su Wu and Daki sat together for a while by a smelting furnace.

  The charcoal fire in the furnace has been extinguished for a long time,

   But there is still some residual warmth at the moment,

  When everyone gathers together and stands by the stove, they can also absorb a little warmth.

  The young apprentices gathered in this room one after another,

   After a while,

   The 'Jiliang Craftsman' who 'inked ink' for Su Wu yesterday also strode into the room.

  All the teenagers saluted 'Jiliang' and greeted loudly: "Master craftsman, good morning!"

"it is good!"

   Craftsman Kira nodded with satisfaction.

   seems to feel that only in this way can the enthusiasm of a group of young people be displayed.

   His eyes crossed the crowd, and he easily found 'Abu' who was standing at the back. The smile on Ji Liang Craftsman's face suddenly became stronger: "I was worried about last night, what danger did you encounter halfway.

   I can see you today,

   I am also relieved!

  Abu, how do you feel today after suffering one-twentieth of the ink entry?

   Do you feel tired and tired? "

  Su Wu nodded.

   His body really gave back such a feeling to his own consciousness.

   But this feeling is very slight,

   Coupled with the strength of his consciousness, it can be ignored.

   "It's all normal." Ji Liang continued, "During this time, you need to eat more food - the ink drawing will consume your own strength, and eating more food can replenish your strength!

  Your father - Brother A Xiong is a very capable person,

   He must know this and won't starve you! "

   "Yes." Su Wu responded.

   "After I tattooed you with an inking drawing yesterday, it's almost dark, and I haven't had time to elaborate on some situations that need your attention.

   Just take this opportunity to tell you,

  You remember it! "

  Jiliang paused, seeing Su Wu's serious expression, he nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "The tattoo is engraved into the ink to see the recovery of the body of the 'ink recipient'. Most of the tattoos will be carried out within three to seven days.

  The area of ​​each engraving is not a fixed one-twentieth.

   Sometimes if the body recovers well,

   will increase the engraving area accordingly.

   After each tattoo, in the next seven days, remember not to go out at night.

  Don't consume too much physical strength - if you consume too much physical strength, the evil pattern on your body is very likely to invade your mind!

   In addition,

   Everything else is trivial. "

   "After I started engraving the ink drawing, if I went out at night, would I be more likely to encounter strange things?" Su Wu asked the craftsman Ji Liang.

   Ji Liang grinned: "It's not easier to meet Li Wei.

   But it is bound to encounter a sly trick!

  The 'ink' used in the ink painting is made of the ashes of the offerings offered by the shrine to the gods, the mud shells that the gods have fallen off, and the blood of the crows. This kind of thing is naturally very attractive! "

  The ashes of offerings, the mud husks of the gods' mud tires, and the blood of crows,

   The ink-infused pigments formed after mixing are engraved on the skin and flesh of the human body, but they will exude a strange charm.

   And when they stay well in the gourd,

  Su Wu didn't notice any weirdness from them!

   Originally, he guessed that it was human flesh and blood that produced some kind of 'chemical reaction' with this pigment. Now, when he heard the words of the craftsman Ji Liang, Su Wu could not help but doubt that the ashes of the so-called offerings for the gods and the mud shells that fell off the mud tires of the gods,

   may have something to do with trickery.

   As for the crow, it is an animal,

  It may have some kind of endowment related to cunning - this is only common in folklore, Su Wu has not really verified it, but he is not cunning.

   In this way, crow blood is naturally impossible to produce a strange rhyme.

   "Come some people, let's start the fire!"

  The craftsman Kira greeted the boys, and someone went to the warehouse next door, brought a lot of charcoal, and filled it into the calciner designated by Kira.

  Someone started a fire under the stove.

When the    charcoal fire was burning, Kira went to the warehouse next door on his own to carry a lot of iron ore.

   are the most common iron ore.

  Rao is so,

   These ores are also very precious in An Gang's sword casting workshop, and they need a craftsman like Ji Liang to be able to use them, and ordinary sword casting apprentices have no qualifications at all.

   "From picking iron ore, smelting it into '鉧', and then smashing the '鉧' to get 'Yugang' and 'Bao Ding Iron',

   Then forged ding iron as 'skin iron', and forged jade steel as 'heart iron'.

  The core iron is wrapped with leather iron, and 'Suyan' is used to form a knife embryo.

   These processes, you have all learned. "The master craftsman Kira put all the iron ore into the calciner, and while putting in the ore, he said to the young people, "From today onwards, the apprentice who still can't forge 60% of the high-quality knife embryos,

  You can choose to follow me to learn all the sword casting steps such as 'fire making', 'blade and earth', 'covering the earth and burning the blade', 'bending', 'grinding' and so on.

   You can also continue to practice Suyeon’s skills,

   Until the quality rate of the blade embryo can reach 60%, you can become an apprentice of ink!

   Those who choose to follow me to learn all the steps of casting swords, because they have not entered the ink, they cannot learn the "Forging of the Heart" and "Forging of Ghosts and Gods"!

  The apprentices who want to stay here to continue training the blade embryo, you still have 30 days.

   After 30 days, if the 60% yield still cannot be reached,

   must leave the An Gang Sword Casting Factory! "

  Master Kira finished speaking, leaving some time for the teenagers to digest.

   After a while,

   He raised his eyes, the roaring fire had engulfed all those ore.

  The strong smell of charcoal fire and gunpowder smoke permeates the room.

   Looking at the many nervous and hesitant young people, he smiled and said: "Don't be too nervous, it's just because there is an 'Abu', so you are worried that you won't be able to catch up with others.

   In fact, some people's aptitude and talent are doomed.

  Casting a knife especially requires a moment of 'inspiration' to be in harmony with the heaven and the earth. Therefore, it may not be a bad thing to recognize your own talent, see yourself clearly, and make an early decision. "

   'Inspiration to be in harmony with heaven and earth'?

  'Heaven and Human Induction'?

   Is what the craftsman Kira said deliberately exaggerated, or is it true?

   In the afternoon, Su couldn't tell the truth from his words, so he could only listen to it for now and watch the aftermath.

   "Have you made a decision yet?" Kira's voice sank.

   Soon a young man raised his hand: "Master!

  I choose to continue to practice Suyan's skills, and I must practice more than 60% of the quality knife embryos! "

"Me too!"

   "Master craftsman, my parents are in poor health. I want to learn a skill as soon as possible. When I return to the village, even if I help people make farm tools and repair iron tools, I will be very satisfied."

"I…"

   As the first person spoke,

   The rest of the people shouted enthusiastically.

  Su Wu secretly collected their intentions, and found that 80% of them were unwilling to give up, and wanted to continue to practice Su Yan's skills, in order to achieve a 60% good rate and obtain the qualification to become an apprentice.

   The rest of the people hope to follow the whole sword-making process after Kira learns.

   Even if you can't learn the 'Ghost Forging Technique' and 'Heart Forging'.

  Oki naturally chose to continue practicing 'Suyeon'.

  He and Abu, as servants or doormen of the Inoue family, were sent here in order to become real ink-painting masters and to strengthen the strength of the Inoue family. All resources consumed during this period were naturally borne by the Inoue family.

  The so-called 'Suyeon' is to wrap the tempered heart iron and skin iron, and forge it into the prototype of the sword.

  The previous steps of picking ores, smelting, etc.,

   All are attributed to the step of 'Suyeon' by casting the sword.

   Yes,

   This step of the sword-casting assessment is equivalent to assessing all the basic skills of the apprentice.

"it is good.

   Those who want to continue to practice Suyan skills, stay here. There will be new artisans to oversee you!

  Those who want to learn all the sword-making steps in the future, go to another room with me later! Seeing that everyone made a decision, Ji Liang nodded and agreed on the spot.

   After the calciner has burned all the iron ore,

   He shoveled out the iron ore that melted into a big lump.

   At present, this lump of iron ore is called 'Iron'.

   Kira smashed the iron with a big hammer, and knocked out more pieces with a small hammer,

   let everyone pick the cooled pieces.

   Although Su Wu entered the simulation world as 'Abu', he had no concept of all the training skills in the past. Seeing everyone picking and choosing, he also crouched beside Damu and observed the movements of the people around him.

Under the cover of    meaning energy,

   All movements could not escape his perception.

   Their eyes and micro expressions were all recorded by Su Wu.

   and then constantly analyze and judge in the heart,

   Finally came to a conclusion: these 'iron' fracture surfaces are relatively neat, and the ore with iron black light is mostly high-grade 'Yugang', and the softer iron is 'Baoding iron'.

   In just over ten breaths,

  Su Wu has obtained the knowledge he wants.

   He also picked it up,

   moves fast,

   picked out two piles of ore.

The craftsman Ji Liang observed the movements of the teenagers. After seeing Su Wu selecting two piles of ores so quickly, he walked over to pick up the ores selected by Su Wu and looked at them, and nodded repeatedly: "Even if I become an apprentice of ink , Su Yan's various basic skills can not be wasted!

  Abu, you did a great job!

   These iron stones selected are all top grade!

   Better than your last time! "

   "Thank you for the compliment." Su Wu nodded in response.

   However, his response made Kira frown, but fortunately the other party didn't say much.

  Su Wu wondered why the other party didn't like his response,

   When I was puzzled,

   Hearing that Ji Liang praised another apprentice, the apprentice bent over and replied cautiously: "I will continue to work hard, craftsman!"

   Suddenly Su Wu knew the 'standard answer'.

   He couldn't help thinking from this: If the original owner's father he replaced was not quite prestigious and made people fearful, Ji Liang would probably have ruthlessly reprimanded himself, or even beat himself.

  Because of 'father',

  All kinds of non-social behaviors of yourself will not make the other party so annoying.

   can even be easily forgiven.

   "You guys stay here and keep exercising.

  Abu!

   There are also those who are going to learn all the sword-making processes, take the ore you picked out, and go to another room with me! "Everyone has finished sorting the iron blocks, and Kira issued a new order.
