Sword wash the setting sun

Chapter 109 Artifact Refining Workshop

After another half a cup of tea, the entire martial arts arena was already full of disciples from the Shenbing Sect.Lu Huo saw that basically the entire martial arts arena was filled with disciples of the Shenbingmen, and this was not counting the disciples sent by the Shenbingmen to perform tasks and the disciples of the Refining Workshop.

The Shenbing Sect has grown so powerful in just a few years!
As Gongsun Bao who appeared on the martial arts viewing platform waved his hand to signal, the disciples of the Shenbing Sect immediately stood up, and the needle drop could be heard in an instant.

"Today, the disciples are gathered together, and there are two main things to announce." Gongsun Bao on the martial arts platform raised his voice and said, his voice was like a bell, and everyone seemed to hear his voice ringing in their ears.

"The first thing is, our new disciples of the Divine Armament Sect can directly enter the Artifact Refining Workshop to practice the art of refining weapons! This is the unique skill of our Divine Armament Sect. I hope everyone will devote themselves to practicing it!"

After a short pause, there was an uproar among the disciples!

"Who is speaking here?"

"You don't even know this, this is the third elder of the Shenbing Sect!"

"Tsk tsk! In the past, disciples passed the word on their behalf. This time, the elders of the Shenbing Sect showed up in person. It seems that the Shenbing Sect attaches great importance to the new manpower in the refining workshop!"

"I originally wanted to learn the art of refining weapons. I planned to open a blacksmith's shop by myself when I returned home from my studies. Who knows that I have been here for three months and I have no chance to enter the refining workshop! Hey! These newbies are so lucky Already!"

"..."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Lu Huo seemed to understand something.To be able to enter the refining workshop, do you really have that much expectation?But since I'm here, let's learn some basic knowledge by the way, maybe it can help Yu a little bit when he's recovering his body!
Thinking of this, Lu Huo was also looking forward to entering the Artifact Refining Workshop!

"Today's second thing, everyone should pay close attention to practicing outer sect martial arts. There will be a large number of opportunities to practice in a month's time. Therefore, if you don't have disciples who entered the refining workshop, you will have more opportunities to stand out. As long as you practice hard."

The words this time caused even more uproar.The opportunity to practice in the Shenbing Sect is an opportunity!With the status of the eldest brother Gongsun Gang in the imperial court, there are many opportunities for experience, and he has become a blockbuster since then, and it is unknown whether he will become a high-ranking official or become a dragon and a phoenix.

In the martial arts arena, it was like a pot exploded. Everyone kept comparing and choosing the benefits of entering the refining workshop and martial arts.

Lu Huo looked indifferent, anyway, he entered the Shenbingmen for other purposes, and these things seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Afterwards, under Gongsun Bao's stop, the martial arts field returned to calm.After stating some words of encouragement, Gongsun Bao left under the eyes of everyone.

The division of labor among the disciples is decided by the chief disciple of the Shenbing Sect.Although these chief disciples of the Shenbing Sect are not as high as Gongsun Ling'er and others, they are still in full swing, especially among the disciples of the Shenbing Sect, they control the vital interests of the disciples of the Shenbing Sect.They are the earliest disciples to join the Shenbingmen since the establishment of the Shenbingmen.It has advantages that others cannot match.

After nearly half a day of division of labor, the disciples in the martial arts arena were finally divided into two camps.Lu Huo was assigned to the queue of the refining workshop.Along with him, there were several new disciples, among whom Yu San also entered the crafting workshop with him.

After the camp was divided, Lu Huo, Yu San and the others were taken to the Artifact Refining Workshop in the back mountain.

Under the simple guidance of the brothers, the new disciples who entered the crafts workshop quickly got a general idea of ​​the things in the crafts workshop.

First of all, the task of the refining workshop is very heavy, much harder than that of martial arts disciples.This includes sorting, storage, and safekeeping of refining materials; sanitary cleaning of refining workshops; quantitative refining of weapons, etc.

Secondly, the management of the refining workshop is relatively strict, and disciples must go through strict approval when they go out.

But fortunately, the person in charge of the refining workshop is Gongsun Bao, which is an incomparable advantage for practitioners.

Although some people also think that with Gongsun Bao around, they can practice while refining weapons, but the actual situation is just the opposite. After working in the refining workshop, they are basically exhausted and exhausted, so there is no need to practice spiritually.

The only good thing is that the rooms here are more spacious.The disciples of Shenbingmen can choose to live together with multiple people, or they can live in the material warehouse under the pretext of taking care of materials and weapons.

Lu Huo naturally chose the job of taking care of the material warehouse, although it was full of semi-finished ironware from ores of various colors.But compared to mingling among men, this place couldn't be better!
That night, Lu Huo slept soundly, until he was woken up by the sound of tinkling beatings, and found that the sky was already slightly bright.

I got up and looked at the window, and found that many brothers in the courtyard had already started beating the hands, and were about to start work.Lu Huo blamed himself for a while, being so careless, it would be a big deal if he was found out.So he got up quickly, washed up briefly and went to the courtyard.

There are also quite a few senior brothers who are similar to Lu Huo, and they also came to the courtyard one after another at this time, watching the big and small hammers that the senior brothers were preparing to hold, they could only wait and see curiously.

After about half a cup of tea, a senior disciple came to the venue, told the brothers from the original craft workshop to continue working, and then turned around and came to the new brothers.

"Start learning the process of the refining workshop today. Go to the public place first to see the level of Senior Sister Gongsun Hui!"

"Yes!" The disciples replied, and then followed the brother to an open space with a stove.

"Gongsun Hui?! It's really lucky to meet her today! I must find a way to get acquainted with her first!" Lu Huo made up his mind and followed the team.

The Artifact Refining Workshop occupies a large area. In a place like Luoyang where every inch of land is expensive, occupying such a large area once again demonstrates the strength of the Shenbingmen and its secret status in the imperial court.

Beside the stove, a bloated brother was stirring something in the stove.The two disciples next to him were adding firewood to the stove and blowing the wind. Both of them were already sweating on their foreheads, and they were panting slightly.

Seeing the new disciple coming, the senior brother turned around abruptly, but everyone was shocked.

This is not a senior brother, but a tough senior sister!

"Brothers from the same school, I am your senior sister Gongsun Hui! Today I will demonstrate the basic art of refining, I hope everyone pays attention to it!" The deep voice lingered in the square, and there were still half a woman's figure.

Lu Huo looked at this woman whom he had met once in astonishment, until now he realized that this strange woman turned out to be such a man.

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Hui glanced blankly in the field, turned around, took a huge tongs next to him, and stuck it into the stove with high flames.

All the disciples in the arena held their breaths to watch, and saw this sturdy woman stirring in the stove for a while, and then she pulled out a two-foot-long red iron bar from the stove.

He took it to the stone platform on one side, swung a hammer the size of a cat's head with the other hand, and jingled on it.

Skillful techniques, smooth movements, and uniform frequency, presumably the strength of hitting the iron bars is also quite balanced.

Infected by her technique, all the disciples breathed rapidly and stared intently at the thinning iron bar in Gongsun Hui's hands, as if they would miss the most delicate craftsmanship in the blink of an eye.

After beating it for the first time, Gongsun Huier threw it into the furnace again.

"The weapon I made is the 'Ziwei soft sword' that is common in the Jianghu. I hope it can inspire you." Gongsun Huier said lightly, but it caused a lot of restlessness among the disciples.

"What? Can this also be made into a soft sword?"

"Isn't the soft sword as thin as gold?..."

"..."

There were bursts of inconceivable discussions one after another, and as Gongsun Hui's movements subsided again, the only sounds in the square could be the screeching of flames and the deep whimpering of ironware in the high temperature.

Gongsun Hui used tongs to take out a square container from the stove again, poured the red liquid in the container into a mold on the stone platform, and then quickly threw it into a wooden barrel, and immediately the water vapor rose upwards with a hissing sound. .

"This is the hilt mold, and its strength is increased by cold quenching..."

While explaining, Gongsun Hui handled the hilt and took out the mold of the hilt after cooling. A rough hilt appeared inside, but it was obviously clumsy and ugly.

He picked up a long sword beside him and rubbed it on the hilt for a while. After turning the hilt in Gongsun Hui's hands for a while, the clumsy hilt became a little more delicate and elegant.

A ripple flashed through Lu Huo's heart, he never expected such a beautiful sword hilt to be made in the hands of such a sturdy woman!

Gongsun Hui took out the iron bars from the furnace again, beat them carefully, and returned them to the furnace to be calcined again.During the period, the sword hilt was wrapped with the prepared gold thread, and the sword hilt became exquisite and beautiful again, just like a gadget played by a girl.

……

Near noon, the iron bar was nearly as thick as gold wire after nine times of beating.During the nine times of beating, it was obvious that the force was getting lighter and lighter. In the process of beating, Gongsun Hui's seemingly random beating became so smooth after a long period of training and extremely accurate hand feeling.

"Before the last blow, cover the soil and burn the blade!"

After Gongsun Hui finished speaking, she carefully wrapped the iron bar with one side of the mud leather, hung it and put it in the furnace. Half an hour later, the iron bar was taken out again.

After carefully removing the mud on the top, Gongsun Hui beat the iron bar carefully with a smaller hammer. This time it took nearly an hour. After the beating, Gongsun Hui's forehead was dripping with sweat.

Shaking the iron bar in his hand a little, immediately there was a pleasant trembling sound.

"The next step is to consolidate the blade and hilt!"

Fix the blade on the stone platform, insert the prepared hilt on it, take out a delicate refining container from the furnace, carefully pour the iron liquid in it to the joint, and after cooling again, the golden silk crape myrtle The soft sword finally took shape.

A smile appeared on Gongsun Hui's face, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, a burst of internal force poured into it, and the soft sword straightened immediately.

After a while of stabbing, the sound of the sword's cry resounded in the square.All the disciples were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help feeling the high level of the weapon refining technique of the Shenbingmen.

It is even more special to this rough female man!
