This blacksmith Zhu is obviously still a novice at forging weapons.
Although the weapons in the box all looked decent and shiny, when holding them in his hand, Su Wu could clearly feel that either the center of gravity of the weapons was wrong, or the blades were not straight.
——He had rarely touched weapons before,
However, in the "past life of a fighter", the "soldier boxing" learned is a fusion of many ancient and modern military strikes and weapon strike techniques.
Learning this boxing technique and then practicing weapons was a matter of course for Su Wu.
Su Wu picked up a wild goose feather knife and waved it in the air.
The moment the long knife was swung out, he heard the sharp sound of the blade cutting the air.
This knife is nice!
The ribs and center of gravity are all in the right place.
He raised his eyebrows,
Hand the Yanling knife in your hand to Li Zhuer,
He said to her: "Come and try."
"Me, me?"
Li Zhuer, who had already killed two bandits, now looked shy and reserved in front of outsiders.
Blacksmith Zhu looked at her and said nothing. He picked out a handful of caltrop bones from the scrap metal and went to the open area on the side of the house to try his hand at it - more and more people have come to him to make weapons recently.
,
Troubled times are about to begin, and many weapons that were banned in the past are increasingly appearing on the market.
As a blacksmith, how could he not have some skills in training weapons in this troubled world?
Therefore, I am also seizing every opportunity to learn and improve my skills.
Li Zhuer took the Yanling knife from Su Wu.
Learn from Su Wu's sword-wielding posture, put one foot forward and swing the sword diagonally with both hands.
A knife swung through,
The blade cuts the air,
There was a sharp sound in an instant.
"How?" Su Wu asked her.
“I feel like this knife is very comfortable to use.
It's very labor-saving." Li Zhuer carefully recalled her feelings at that moment and reported to Su Wuhui.
"That's fine."
Su Wu nodded and said to her: "Take that knife."
say something back,
He continued to pick through the wooden boxes.
Women are born with less strength,
Many of the weapons in the wooden box are not suitable for women like Li Zhuer and Li Qingmiao who have not received systematic training.
Not even suitable for them.
After all, most of them are simple knives and machetes,
It takes more effort for them to swing,
Not to mention actually using it to defend against enemies and kill people.
When Su Wu chooses weapons for the juniors and juniors of the Zao team, he naturally has to consider their respective physical conditions and must make the weapons assist them instead of turning them into a burden.
After some picking and choosing,
The weapons in the box are really useless.
In the end, Su Wu only chose the Yan Ling Dao in Li Zhuer's hand.
Seeing him shaking his head and closing the box, Blacksmith Zhu put down the caltrop bone in his hand and said with his usual expression: "What? Aren't the weapons inside not to your liking?"
"Yes." Su Wu nodded, "The weapons here are too bulky for us Zao Ban disciples.
Most of them are unable to operate these weapons properly."
The reason he gave was quite tactful,
He didn't directly say that Zhu Tiejiang's craftsmanship was not good.
Within a hundred miles, only Blacksmith Zhu can make weapons.
Even his craftsmanship could not satisfy Su Wu.
Not to mention others.
"I plan to forge spearheads, daggers, and similar Yanling knives for all the brothers in the team.
Also forge a crescent moon handle to facilitate shoveling.
I wonder if Mr. Zhu can do it conveniently?"
Su Wu put forward his specific requirements,
At the same time, he handed a corner of broken silver to the other party: "When old man Zhu forges his weapon, I hope to be able to watch the ceremony.
The boy has a family background,
Maybe I can help Old Uncle Zhu."
He doesn't have any "family background" in forging weapons.
But he can grasp the center of gravity of the weapon, control the tendon of the sword, and control the force, which is unparalleled.
Forge some handy weapons,
But it’s not difficult,
There are even some overkill.
Su Wu said lightly,
Li Zhuer next to her opened her mouth slightly in surprise.
She was not surprised that Su Wu had a family background in blacksmithing - the other party could use ghost-like methods, so what's wrong with forging weapons?
I'm surprised that the senior brother actually said this kind of suggestion openly?
Can the other party agree?
This is someone else's job,
Will you allow others to dictate?
However,
What was even more beyond Li Zhuer's expectation was,
Zhu Tiejiang was obviously moved when he heard Su Wu's words.
After pondering for a moment, he nodded: "Okay, I am still making a few unimportant iron tools at the moment. It doesn't matter if I make them into swords and guns.
Since you have a family background, it would be a good idea to be there to check things in for me.
Being idle is also idle.”
He didn't accept the dime Su Wu handed over.
Instead, he said: "If I can learn something from you, I will add some materials, so what's the problem?
There is no need to collect money!
Come with me!"
talking,
He led Su Wu to the iron stove,
Putting on thick gloves, he took out the iron bar from the red-hot charcoal stove and said, "This iron bar can also be used as a knife. I will start forging it. If there is any problem, please help me." Correction!"
Dang! Dang! Dang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Blacksmith Zhu had already picked up a sledgehammer and smashed it hard on the red-hot iron bar!
When Li Zhuer saw Blacksmith Zhu saying a few words, he lured Su Wu to 'observe' him forging iron.
My brain suddenly became even less full,
Can't make some turns?
Senior brother, with just a few words, people are so close to him, and they seem to be defenseless?
Of course she doesn't know,
When Su Wu just spoke, he had already quietly used his natural ability of 'talking with each other', subtly making Zhu Tiejiang trust him more.
It would be an overkill to use this talent on such a trivial matter.
However, Su Wu needed to go back before noon to assist Master in the ritual of "opening the temple and pretending to be dirty".
If he doesn't do this,
But I don’t know when I will be able to rush back to the temple with weapons and food.
Before Li Zhuer could react,
The smoke-filled forgeside,
I don’t know what her senior brother said to Zhu Tiejiang again.
The other party conveniently put down the iron bar and handed the thick gloves and hammer to Su Wu.
Su Wu put on gloves,
He actually took over Zhu Tiejiang's work,
Swing the hammer and keep hitting the iron bars!
Boom, boom, boom!
Dang Dang Dang!
Sparks flying!
Every time the hammer fell, Su Wu had already silently recited the 'Zha Tuo Wheel Blessing Mantra' in his heart, or the 'Huma Lahan Secret Mantra' that can bless the weapon and give courage to the wielder of the sword and gun!
“La! La!
Huma Lahan! Huma Lahan!
Om Ke Tuo, Xinsheng Duo,
Cha He Om He She Shen He!”
The original power of the secret realm was continuously forged into the iron bars through his palm holding the hammer, like a trickle.
In the forged texture of the iron bars, it gradually grows into the true text of the secret mantra!
The iron bars were forged into pieces,
Then folded and forged repeatedly,
Not long after, it was gradually forged into the shape of the Yan Ling Dao.
After that, the quenching, sharpening and other processes were left to Blacksmith Zhu and his son.
Su Wu took another iron bar and continued working.
The sky is still dark,
At about four or five o'clock, Su Wu set off with Li Zhuer and arrived at the market in a few minutes.
It took less than thirty minutes to buy rice at Mizhuang.
Then I came to this blacksmith shop,
Su Wu stayed in this blacksmith shop for more than three hours.
Within more than three hours,
He forged two wild goose feather knives;
A wild goose-wing knife - a large ring knife with a golden back;
Three steel gun heads;
A crescent moon handle is convenient for shoveling;
The Yan Ling knife in Li Zhuer's hand was forged again;
And a complete set of spatulas, ladles, firewood pots and other tools required by the master.
All these instruments have been blessed by Su Wu with the Great Thunderbolt Heart Mantra, the Tiger-Clothed King's Secret Mantra for Killing, the Huma Lahan Secret Mantra, etc. from the Secret Realm, making them strong, durable, and sharp.
Even when some weapons are used,
There will be unexpected effects.
Such a weapon,
Although it is not as powerful as the magic weapon that Su Wu made with the help of the power of the Secret Treasure Realm when he was in the Secret Treasure Realm in person,
But it is enough to leave it to the Zao Class disciples to use.
Later, he can also add other blessings to these weapons.
More than three hours,
Can make so many weapons,
It was also beyond Tiejiang Zhu’s expectation.
He looked at Su Wu with admiration in his eyes: "My little brother's family background is really deep!
Today I was watching my little brother making weapons, and I learned a lot.
I gained a lot!”
When Su Wu was forging weapons,
Zhu Tiejiang, his son, and Li Zhuer were not idle.
Helped install the tandem, handle, scabbard and other accessories for the knife blade.
Yes,
Although Zhu Tiejiang felt that he had gained a lot today and was embarrassed to collect money from Su Wu, Su Wu still left five coins.
The two put a bundle of weapons in a box, took a few pieces of wood given by Blacksmith Zhu that could be used as gun shafts, and left the blacksmith shop.
On the way back to Mi Village from the blacksmith shop,
I met a hawker who was selling women,
hesitated for a moment,
Su Wu still spent money to buy a copper bracelet for Li Zhuer.
Ask her to help pick out a copper thimble for Li Qingmiao and a safety lock for Xiuxiu and Gou Sheng.
"Senior brother, this copper bracelet looks too plain on the surface.
It wouldn't look very nice without patterns." Li Zhuer waved a copper bracelet in front of Su Wu's eyes, obviously very happy, but deliberately showed dissatisfaction, "It would be nice if some words or flowers could be engraved on it.
Already."
"It's not like I didn't have bracelets with patterns just now.
Why don't you choose those bracelets to wear?" Su Wu glanced at her sideways and asked.
"Patterned bracelet,
I have to pay him ten more copper coins for one tael!" Li Zhuer wrinkled her nose and continued to wave the bracelet in front of Su Wu's eyes, "Brother, you just engraved your names on the weapons, why not give Zhuer this bracelet?
Also engrave your name,
Carve your name or my name on it!"
"No time!
If you want to carve it, take a knife and carve it on the side!" Su Wu shook his head and refused.
Li Zhuer pursed her lips,
Dare not speak.
Su Wu took her and continued to move along the flow of people,
When we were almost at the entrance of Mi Village,
He thought for a moment and stretched out his hand towards Li Zhuer: "Give me the bracelet."
"ah?"
"Do you still want to engrave?"
"Ah! moment by moment!"
"Give me the thimble and longevity lock too."
"Do they also have to be engraved?"
"Then I tell them, you won't let me carve their names?"
"..."
Not long after,
Several items with names engraved on them were put back into small packages by Li Zhuer.
She holds her copper bracelet,
Pointing to the seven characters that appeared in the inner circle with Su Wu's touch, he asked Su Wu: "Brother, my name only has three characters, why are there seven characters on it?"
Su Wu glanced at the words on the inner circle of the copper bracelet.
It says: Li Zhuer may have a safe life.
Similar words were engraved on the gifts he gave to each of his junior brothers and sisters.
The text contains a hint of the blessing power of the hidden realm.
"Want to know?"
"Uh-huh!"
"When I teach you how to read in the future, you should study hard and listen carefully.
In this way, you can know what these seven words mean."
…
Inside the rice village.
In the warehouse at the back door, several workers moved bags of grain and rice to two platoon trucks, stacking them as high as a hill.
The shopkeeper and the thug leader watched the guys carrying the food,
The latter spoke up: "Who are those two people?
Can you actually afford to buy twelve shi of rice?"
"how,
Do you want to take advantage of them?" The shopkeeper turned around and glanced at the thug leader, and sneered, "I would like to advise you to give up those thoughts that you shouldn't have.
——Those two people are the disciples of the recent stove master in Qingshi Nianzi Village!
No matter who you offend, don’t offend the kitchen team!”
As soon as I heard what the shopkeeper said,
The thug leader's expression became solemn, and he bowed his hand to the shopkeeper: "To be honest, brother, I saw that the girl that the young man brought was quite pretty, and I did have some thoughts.
Fortunately, my elder brother reminded me,
Maybe I really have to send someone to touch them.
A disciple of Zao Banzi...
Not to be messed with, not to be messed with."
In a strange world,
This kind of group or individual who has mastered the tricks of manipulation,
Everyone knows to keep a respectful distance.
After all, no one can guarantee that they will not encounter some strange events in this life, and they have to rely on the help of strange people like the Zao Team to solve such things.
If we offend them, then heaven and earth will not respond, and the earth and earth will not work!
Especially this kind of method mastered by strange people,
It may not just be used to deal with tricksters,
——Perhaps it is more effective to deal with people than to deal with tricks!
The leader of the thugs had a look of lingering fear on his face, completely giving up any thought of causing trouble for Su and Wu.
"Mr. Guo will go to Partridge Ridge to collect taxes. It will take three days, right?
Not back yet,
Is something going to happen?" The shopkeeper watched the waiter stack the food on the cart, turned around and walked to the outer hall, and asked the thug leader as he walked.
Their rice farm,
Not only did they sell rice, but they also "volunteered" to shoulder the government's "important task" of collecting taxes in remote villages.
The thug leader smiled when he heard this: "Whenever he collects taxes, he has to go there for four or five days before coming back.
Maybe it was a farmer's daughter who tripped her feet.
I’m still lying in bed and can’t get up!”
"It's not peaceful around Partridge Ridge. I'm always worried about this..."
"Brother, I think you don't need to worry.
I sent twelve men to Mr. Guo, all equipped with swords and guns.
Those farmers dare to resist?
Cut off his head!
Moreover, this time he went with a team of corpse hunters from the west.
We don’t see this kind of strange person with all his abilities and means!
Everyone has chosen this path,
Think about it, what dangers could there be on this road?"
"Following the team of corpse hunters?
That’s good, that’s good, so I feel relieved…”

My computer broke and I just fixed it at night.
There is only this chapter today, I will add it later!
