Chapter 57 The first weapon built by hand

After many forgings, the impurities in the pig iron are forged out and finally become steel, that is, they are refined into steel, and finally quenching and other processes are required.

After the explanation of the great man, Niu Xiaoniu knew that every weapon was not easy to obtain. They were the hard work of a blacksmith. Each sword was the same in appearance, but in fact they were different, because the materials used to forge them were not exactly the same.

Today, Niu Xiaoniu’s task was to beat pig iron to remove impurities. In the first round of forging, Niu Xiaoniu worked very hard, making the red iron blocks ding and jingling, and many impurities were also knocked out of the pig iron.

After the iron blocks completely cooled and turned black, the man put the iron blocks into the stove again to heat them, but he was not idle at this time. He took out a piece of red iron block from the stove.

Niu Xiaoniu didn't remember how many hammers he swung today. He only knew that there were endless iron blocks on the forging platform. By the evening, when the man said that it was over, Niu Xiaoniu's hands were already trembling. When he returned to the Qingfeng Sect at night, Niu Xiaoniu couldn't hold the chopsticks, and the rice was fed to him by Lin Feiyu.

Despite this, Niu Xiaoniu still came to the blacksmith shop the next day and started his work for the whole day. When the man was working, he silently put the iron blocks on the forging platform and let Niu Xiaoniu beat them.

In fact, on the first day, the man thought that if Niu Xiaoniu's movements were not standard, he would speak out, but he did not expect that Niu Xiaoniu's iron movements would be very standard, but it was very awkward, as if he could, but he had never used them.

But it is true. Niu Xiaoniu has already learned the basic skills of iron making through scanning the mysterious jade pieces in the past half month, but this is the first time he has used it. When the man thought of the news he had learned, he learned that Niu Xiaoniu was a genius with amazing understanding, so he was not surprised or spoke, but just handed the iron block silently.

The next day, he still had a day of iron blocks. After returning to the Qingfeng Sect, Niu Xiaoniu had a very difficult time practicing with the remade wooden stick.

This is his life. He went to the blacksmith shop every day and practiced stick techniques after he came back. Only yesterday was because of the first time to make a blacksmith. Although he learned about the basic skills of making a blacksmith through mysterious jade pieces, because it was the first time, his hands could not move and he did not practice.

Today, Niu Xiaoniu has the foundation of the previous day and the image help of the mysterious jade piece, and his hands are no longer as hard as yesterday, so he still goes to practice.

Moreover, after his practice for half a month, his wave-turning stick technique has reached the level of perfection, and the power of his waving arms has become even stronger.

Although his hands holding the stick were trembling, Niu Xiaoniu still meticulously completed today's cultivation goals.

Another half month passed in a blink of an eye. At this time, a knocking sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding" came from a remote house west of Qingfeng Town at the foot of Qingfeng Sect, which was very rhythmic.

At this time, in the backyard of this house, two figures were waving the hammer in their hands vigorously. What they beat was a piece of red iron.

After half a month of tapping and training, Niu Xiaoniu can now knock on the iron block with the big man, and the sound made is also very rhythmic, which represents the force and effectiveness of hitting the iron block.

Gradually, the iron block was forged under the hammer in the hands of the two, forming the shape of a sword. When the sword was finally settled, there was still a red light on the body of the sword. The big man picked up the red light sword and put it into the cold water on the side.

With a "sweet" sound, white smoke rose from the cold water, covering both of them in an instant.

After a while, the big man picked up the sword in his hand and put it in front of him. Finally, he nodded with satisfaction. Don’t think that this is over. Although the fire has been quenched, the sword has not yet opened. It will be considered that it is really completed until the black impurities on the sword are polished off and the real sword body is exposed.

"Yeah, it's very good," said the big man.

"Yes, I think it's good, too." Niu Xiaoniu echoed.

But the big man looked at Niu Xiaoniu with his eyes squinted, and said, "I mean I cooperated well with me, not that your skills are good. You just knocked and beat them well. It's too early to create them alone."

Niu Xiaoniu was choked. He didn't expect that when he reached this point, the man still didn't say a good thing.

In the next half month, Niu Xiaoniu will work with the big man to build it. Of course, the preliminary preparations were all completed by Niu Xiaoniu.

"You can try to build it tomorrow!" The big man said to Niu Xiaoniu. That's what he said, Niu Xiaoniu is still far from it, but in just half a month he asked Niu Xiaoniu to build it himself.

But the four nuns and Niu did not do what the big man said. Although the big man had already said that he could build it himself, Niu Xiaoniu did not build it, but continued his career as a blacksmith for half a month.

Today is the second and a half months since he came to the blacksmith shop. Today he is about to try to build it. First, Niu Xiaoniu chose a piece of pig iron first, and then put it into the stove. Then he pulled the bellows with both hands and burned the stove red. When the iron blocks in the stove were almost burned, he clamped out the iron block.

Then he placed it on the forging platform made by the man specifically to cooperate with his height. Then he held the iron block with his left hand and swung the hammer with his right hand. The sound of "ding, ding, ding" sounded in the quiet backyard.

He forged the iron blocks in his hands over and over again. Niu Xiaoniu seemed to have forgotten everything around him, and only had the forged iron blocks in his heart.

Finally in the evening, the iron block in Niu Xiaoniu's hand had been folded and forged eleven times by him repeatedly, and had reached the limit of this iron. If it was forged, although it could also become a sword, the sword forged in this way would be very fragile and not conducive to combat and could only be used as an ornamental item. Niu Xiaoniu did not want his first weapon to be used only for viewing.

Niu Xiaoniu finally heated it up, and then the force hit the iron block lightly and heavily, which slowly formed the shape of a knife. When Niu Xiaoniu felt that it was almost done, he put down the hammer in his hand and breathed a long breath. He didn't feel it before, but after Niu Xiaoniu put down the hammer in his hand, he realized that he was sweating all over and was almost exhausted.
