The short, stocky, middle-aged man became emotional as he spoke.

Su Wu looked at his mouth full of jagged teeth and spit,

It felt extremely funny for a while.

but,

The information revealed in the other party's words also made him quite concerned.

‘Rumo’ came from the Tang Dynasty,

This skill seems to be used to fight Li Wei,

After spreading to Dongliu Island,

Because Dongliu Island cannot realize the truly complicated techniques and rituals of this skill,

So simplify it,

He also developed his own inking chart.

Their ink drawings still have the power to fight against 'Li Gui'.

But after thinking about it, we know that the power that this 'simplified version' can exert is completely different from that of the 'complete version'.

But--

I came here to learn and practice the skills of swordsmanship.

Ink yourself,

Could it be that he might encounter something strange while forging his sword?

The craftsman lamented for a long time,

The young people in the field also showed their longing expressions.

Most of the people in the stone house were immersed in this atmosphere. Only Su Wu was lying on the wooden board, with his back bare, looking at the ground calmly without saying a word.

"Ink,

It is a means of transforming mortals into gods!

If the master craftsman An Gang had not become famous for his skill in forging swords, and a great nobleman had given him a set of ink drawings, we ordinary swordsmiths would never have had access to the method of 'inking'!

Abu, after you are actually engraved with the "inking picture",

You will understand what is the power that only ghosts and gods can control!

Only a skilled swordsman has the chance to forge a magic weapon that can cut through sharp things!

Just like Master Tsuna Watanabe of Heian Kyo - using the 'Onikiri' on Suzaku Street, cutting off the arm of the 'Rashomon noir' with one sword!" The craftsman's words were passionate and filled with a feeling of excitement.

The young men looked enthusiastic,

I was extremely envious of Su Wu lying on the wooden board.

Thoughts swirled in Su Wu's mind,

Entering the 'Past Life of the Swordsmith' to this day,

He had heard the name 'Watanabe Tsuna' twice.

Except for this person,

There is no other so-called "famous sword" on Dongliu Island. Can it kill Li Wei?

If there was, it would not be the case that every swordsmith here would have the ultimate goal of being able to forge a weapon like the 'Onikiri'.

The craftsman calmed down his tone and looked a little more serious. He took out a row of eight-treasure gourds from the wooden box one by one, and poured colorful paint into a lacquer box as big as a baby's fist while speaking slowly.

Said: "If you want to obtain ghost-like power, you need to bear some price.

Abu,

The inking process will be extremely painful.

——Pain beyond your imagination.

No matter what, you must remember that you must grit your teeth and bear this pain, keep your mind awake at all times, and cannot be unconscious for a moment!

Otherwise, if you pass out from the pain, the cost will be beyond your ability to bear!"

"I remember."

Su Wu nodded in agreement.

His eyes looked at the various colors of 'paint' that the craftsman mixed into the lacquer box.

From these paints, he didn't feel any weirdness at all.

But when they are engraved on human flesh and blood,

But a subtle charm began to flow,

Just like the tattoo on the body of the craftsman next to me.

The craftsman nodded solemnly and handed a wooden stick to Su Wu: "Bite this wooden stick. It will be too painful for a while, so vent all the pain on this wooden stick!"

He handed over the stick,

He took out the "tattoo needle" and inserted it from the position near Su Wu's back of the neck.

Even though this body is not owned by Su Wu,

Su Wu still trembled——

When someone stabbed him in the back, a person with extremely keen senses like him would instinctively become alert on the spot, and his mind instantly came up with more than ten ways to subdue and kill the opponent.

Fortunately, he suppressed the boiling thoughts in his mind,

Let the tattoo needle continue to penetrate the back and outline the pattern.

In fact, this step is not too painful.

The real pain should be at the time of "inking in" - that is, when the pigment is penetrated into the pattern of the veins for coloring.

"This ink drawing obtained by Master An Gang,

It’s called ‘Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibal Feast’.

Your current body simply cannot bear the complete 'Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibal Banquet'.

So, this time, I will engrave a part of it for you first - about one-twentieth of the ink drawing. When you gradually become familiar with its power, you will gradually complete the entire ink drawing!"

Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibals Banquet?

Is there Mount Tai on Dongliu Island?

As soon as I heard it, I knew that this ink painting must be inextricably linked with the ink painting of the Tang Dynasty.

Su Wu looked sideways at the tattoos that covered the craftsman's back and left half of his chest, and wondered to what extent the craftsman had completed the 'Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibals Feast'?

If the tattoos all over the back and chest cannot fully depict this ink painting,

Wouldn't a complete ink map cover most of the human body?

Thinking of this section, he frowned slightly.

If he could avoid tattooing the ink pattern on his skin, he would be a little more accepting of it.

Su Wu couldn't accept the gaudy tattoos all over his body.

The craftsman's hand is steady,

I don’t know how many people I have helped to ‘get into ink’.

However, even so, for only "one-twentieth" of the ink drawing, he only carved out the pattern first and did not even have time to color it, which took a whole morning.

noon,

The young men were eating in the sword-making workshop.

Damu also brought food to Carpenter and Su Wu.

The food is very basic.

A small bowl of rice, a piece of fish, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of soup that smelled like sour pot water, with small pieces of kelp floating in it.

Su Wu lay down on the wooden board, ate rice and fish, and tasted the pickles.

The soup was left untouched. After being questioned by Da Mu, he took it and drank it himself.

After dinner,

The young people who went to eat came back one after another.

——It’s not like they have nothing to do, they are all knocking and making ‘knife embryos’ in this room.

But because of what Su Wu did today,

As a result, they didn't pay much attention to their work and were secretly observing Su Wu's reaction.

After dinner, the craftsman worked for another hour and finally finished the pattern. He picked up the lacquer box and said to Su Wu in a deep voice: "Abu, I'm going to start inking!
To be continued...
