My Weird Life

   Chapter 384 "Head Stone, Heart Stone" (22)

   "Most of the time, the killing stone is sleeping.

   The situation of awakening may be encountered once or twice in the forging of ten swords. "

   After all, Kira is the craftsman of the sword-making workshop.

   He knew more about the circumstances of forging swords than Su Wu did.

  Su Wu recalled just now in the sword-casting room, when the killing stone woke up, and remembered two rumors about the killing stone - one said that the killing stone was formed by the fusion of Li Wei's peeled skin and iron ore,

  Another saying is that the killing stone is the sternness of death.

   When the "Killing Stone Awakened" earlier, Su Wuwei felt a strange rhythm flowing from the **** blade, but the situation at that time was very similar to the scene of Li Wei's recovery.

   He could not determine where the killing stone came from,

   Of the two rumors about killing stones circulating in Dongliu Island, he preferred the first one.

  Perhaps the killing stone was formed by the fusion of the leather shell that was removed by Li Wei and iron ore.

   Leather shells are dead after all,

   also leads to the formation of the killing stone, which has some quirky characteristics, but it can never exude a quirky charm.

   As for the second rumor,

   Fundamentally, Su Wu questioned the statement that 'Li Wei will die'.

   "Is there any difference between a sword forged with an awakened killing stone and a sword forged with an unawakened killing stone?" Su Wu asked the craftsman Ji Liang again.

  The craftsman Ji Liang witnessed the change of Su Wu's status with his own eyes,

   Knowing that it is now favored by two master craftsmen, An Gang and Hu Toru,

As for Su Wu's question, he naturally knew all about it: "A sword forged from the awakened killing stone, according to rumors, will have some characteristics related to sternness. If it encounters a master that fits it, it may gradually become wicked. , became unpredictable.

   But most of the time,

   In actual use, the sword forged from the awakened killing stone is actually not much different from the sword forged by the unawakened killing stone, which is held in the hands of ordinary samurai.

  —The two kinds of swords have been held for a long time, and they are very likely to bring all kinds of **** disasters to their masters! "

  According to what Kira said,

  A sword made of killing stone can be called an 'ominous blade'.

   But there are still countless samurai rushing to get this kind of weapon.

   This is undoubtedly a weapon forged with killing stones. If the quality is high, there is a very high probability that it can be 'cut and cut'!

   Second,

  Some people may also have delusional thoughts, thinking that they can get a killing stone sword that suits them, and then exert some of its characteristics related to sternness!

   These two points alone are enough to make the samurai highly sought after.

after all,

  The vast majority of the samurai were desperadoes, doing the work of licking blood with a knife,

   They have to face the disaster of blood light almost every day. As a result, the disadvantage of ‘killing the stone will bring the disaster of blood light to its master’ can be ignored!

   As for people like Su Wu, he would not even take the 'Blood Light Disaster' in his eyes.

  Su Wu sorted out his thoughts,

   Looking at Master Angang, who was quickly slicing straw mats and bamboo bundles in succession, he asked Kira again, "Can you test out all the properties of that knife by trying this cut?

   Does that knife have the ability to cut and slash?

   - After all, it is a knife that is close to the "extreme" quality. "

Ji Liang shook his head and said, "The purpose of the trial cut is to let the swordsmith judge the performance of a knife, and to infer its full performance according to the situation of the trial cut, rather than cutting a knife during the trial cut. The full performance of the knife comes into play.

  —Every time the full performance of the sword is used, the life of the sword will be depleted.

   As for whether it can be cut and shrewd,

   Only wait for it to return to its real owner and let its owner test it himself!

   In our sword casting workshop, there is no means to bring Li Ji over as a material for the trial cut! "

"I see."

  Su Wu nodded,

   No more words.

At this time, An Gang also tested the knife in his hand. He was very satisfied with the performance of the knife. He put it in the sheath and handed it to Hu Che next to him: "Brother Hu Che, please take this knife. In the hands of its owner!

   The quality of this knife is close to 'extremely high', and it may have the ability to cut some 'little tricks'.

   You can let the owner try it a little bit, and be sure to ask him to let me know the result of the trial.

   At the same time, please also ask him to pay attention, never try to use this knife to compete with the 'big tricks', the "evil tricks", and even the serious tricks at the level of the deceitful king!

   There is no possibility of winning like that! "

   Hu Toru took the knife, put it in a long wooden box, hugged it in his arms, and said to An Gang in surprise: "Is this knife close to the 'extremely superior' level?

   Brother An Gang, it seems that your skills have improved a lot! "

   Hearing this, An Gang smiled and didn't make a decision.

   His eyes crossed the crowd and looked at Su Wu, who was standing with Ji Liang, and said in a loud voice: "Little friend Zhuzhao, the trial cut is over, and you can start preparing to forge your first knife!"

"Yes!"

  Su Wu nodded immediately.

   The two previous ink makers, Ji Liang and Su Wu, headed to the sword casting room exclusively for An Gang.

   Hu Toru saw that An Gang was so nice to Su Wu, and curiously asked why,

   also followed An Gang to the sword casting room.

   "Bring that box over here." An Gang entered the sword casting room and instructed Ji Liang to move a box half a meter high to the iron table.

  Under everyone's attention, he picked up a key and opened the large lock on the box.

   opened the box,

   A rancid stench rushed out with the smell of sulphur.

   Everyone didn't hear the smell, and their eyes focused on the opened box.

   After Su Wu frowned, he also looked at the wooden box.

   Seeing that the wooden box is covered with a layer of leather from some unknown animal,

   on that layer of leather,

   From large to small, there are blocks of stones with a dark background, some vein-like lines, and slightly shiny stones.

  The shape of each stone is very strange,

  Some stones are like a heart, while others are like pig livers,

   There are also some stones that are simply like the heads of babies, or the shape of a placenta.

   "This time, a sword of near-to-the-top quality was cast and sent to the Kondo family's close officials, and the Kondo family will surely have a great reward.

   They are close branches of the Fujiwara family,

  The Fujiwara family owns a killing stone vein!

  So, this time they should report to us more killing stones of better quality! An Gang stroked the ore that seemed to be softer in appearance, like the viscera of human flesh, then turned to look at Su Wu, and said with a smile, "Little friend Zhuzhao, you have done a great job this time!"

   In addition to what Hu Toru and I promised you before, this time, you can choose ten kilograms of killing stones from the box.

  I will prepare a 'head stone' for you,

  Three ‘heart stones’ and one ‘placenta stone’.

  These stones add up to less than ten pounds.

  The missing part is supplemented with 'meat stone'. "

   while speaking,

  An Gang took the killing stone out of the wooden box and lined it up on the table.

   The inker master next to    weighed the stone,

   is exactly ten pounds,

   Enough to forge a dagger or a taiko.

  Su Wu looked at the killing stones of different shapes and guessed that the different shapes and names of these stones showed their quality.

   Among them, 'head stone' and 'placental stone' should be the most precious,

  'Heartstone' is second.

  'Meat Stone' updated.

  I wonder if there are more rare killing stones on the 'head stone' and 'placenta stone'?

   Buried the doubt in his heart, Su Wu thanked An Gang.

  According to the process of casting knives, throw those killing stones into the fire and melt them into 'Tie',

  Then smashed the iron into small pieces,

   separates Jade Steel and Paoding Iron.

  —After these ten kilograms of killing stones are melted into a ball, almost every stone has utility value. Unlike ordinary iron ore, a piece of iron may only yield 70%, or even less available iron stones.

  Su Wu, with the cooperation of two ink makers and Ji Liang,

   Start 'Suyeon',

  'fire made',

  'Covered soil and burning blade'.

   A series of processes are going on like clouds and flowing water. Watching Su Wu busy in front of the calcining furnace gives An Gang and Hu Che a pleasant feeling.

   Even the three craftsmen who cooperated with him were unknowingly brought into his rhythm,

   seems to be under the invisible control of his consciousness,

   can always appear at the key work position at the right time.

   "The Forge of the Heart!"

   Huche said in a low voice: "He has entered the state of forging of the heart."

   The master craftsman paused slightly,

   looked very confused, and murmured: "Why did Dayong, Goki, and Kira also enter the state of 'heart forging' with him at the same time, is it a coincidence?"

"It's not a coincidence." An Gang's eyes lit up, "I heard that there are some strong-willed swordsmiths who can control all assistants invisibly, allowing them to maintain coordination with themselves, and strive to make every step of sword casting perfect. !

   Even, at some point,

   Their will can affect the temperature of the flame in the furnace!

   Now these three people are invisible by candlelight.

  Candlelight is a more talented swordsmith than his father!

   is a born swordsmith! "

"We didn't even have a chance to check when he made the blade embryo just now - I really should have looked at the quality of the blade blade earlier, I really want to know..." Hu Che's eyes were amazed, and he not only looked forward to Su Wu in the three craftsmen What kind of sword will be forged under the uninterrupted cooperation of

   even regretted that he had not had the opportunity to check the quality of the blade.

  Su Wu also did not check the quality of the blade embryo,

   immediately started the subsequent forging process.

   "If you continue 'heart forging' like this, is it possible to enter a state of divine and human induction?" Hu Toru then asked in a low voice.

  An Gang tightened his eyebrows and did not answer Toru Toru's question.

   The completion of the ink drawing on 'Candlelight' is too low,

   Such a low degree of completion of the ink drawing, there is no way to sympathize with the power of 'ghosts and gods',

   unable to sympathize,

  How could it be possible to enter the 'Heaven and Human Induction'?

Pity,

  If the ink penetration of 'Candlelight' is higher than the third grade...

   The steps of 'fire creation' are perfectly completed,

   When Su Wu and the two major ink makers worked together to forge the blade, Ji Liang quickly walked to the corner, prepared the 'blade soil', and covered it on the forged blade.

  Su Wu wore thick cloth gloves,

   Holding the iron bar connected to the blade embryo in his hand, he put the blade blade into the fire.

   At this moment,

   The fire jumped!

   Those surging fires have all turned into surging red lotuses!

  The lotus petals are blooming layer by layer,

  The woman's shrill laughter followed: "Hahahaha—"

   killing stone,

   Awakened again!

  An Gang and Hu Toru looked at each other, and the inked pictures on the two of them burned into a raging black fire!

at the same time,

   They replaced the two Ink Makers who had used the power of the 'Ink Drawing' once before, standing next to Su Wu, the roaring black fire was thrown into the furnace, and began to infect those fiery red lotus petals!

  The two ink makers are not as good as master craftsmen like An Gang and Hu Che after all.

   Can hold up to the power of Ink Drawing twice or even three times a day!
