381. Awakened Killing Stone (2/2)
Hu Che looked at Su Wu quietly.
Everyone also focused their attention on Su Wu.
This kind of posture where the entire audience falls silent and pays attention to one person whenever they disagree. Some people who are psychologically fragile may not be able to sustain themselves in this kind of situation.
Fortunately, Su Wu's psychological quality was strong enough.
He lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said: "Zhuzhao!"
"From today on, my official name is Zhuzhao!"
"Is the candle shining..."
Kotetsu whispered.
The craftsman behind him handed over a wooden board and a charcoal pencil.
He held the charcoal pen and scrawled two traditional Chinese characters neatly on the clean wooden board. He then asked Su Wu to check: "Is this your name—Zhuzhao?!"
"Yes!" Su Wu looked at the two very familiar Chinese characters and nodded in response.
"Gloomy fire,
It can also break the long night...
This name is good, this name is good! " Hu Che was filled with admiration and looked at Su Wu with a closer look.
It seems that because of this name, Su Wu suddenly entered the field of vision of a "cultural man" like Hu Che, and was finally fully accepted by him, "Today, you forged your first sword. On the sword's inscription, there will be There is the word "町 illuminate"!
…
Lunch at noon,
Su Wu got a whole fish, as well as some salted raw fish meat, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of crab leg soup.
The soup still smells like pot water,
But after Su Wu gradually got used to it, he felt that the miso soup tasted okay.
Damu was busy with the "Suyan" knife embryo at noon today. He had a hurried meal in the next room and did not come to look for Su Wu.
Su Wu and Master Ji Liang were sitting at the same table.
"Abu, how is your recovery going?
If possible, would you like to start carving the 'Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibal Feast' tomorrow? " Craftsman Kira looked at the whole fish on Su's lunch plate, then looked at the three pieces of fish in his bowl, and sighed inwardly.
But then he felt a little excited again,
Master Hu Che now values Abu, but after all, Abu is his disciple.
From now on Abu became famous,
I will also benefit from it!
After understanding this point, the injustice in Master Kira's heart disappeared.
He stayed at An Gang Sword Forging Factory for more than a year.
In fact, I understand better that in the skill of 'sword making', talent is more important than hard work.
Now it is obvious that the disciple's talent is far stronger than his own.
"I feel like I've recovered very well.
You can continue to receive ink tomorrow! "Su Wu replied immediately.
Only when the ink drawing is more than 30% complete can it begin to show its power and be used by others.
He is very looking forward to the effect of the ink painting.
Even if the current ink painting of Dongliu Island is not a 'complete product'.
Kira nodded: "Then I will continue inking you tomorrow - if you progress quickly and your body recovers quickly, you may be able to surpass me in the progress of inking. Then you will need to have a higher degree of inking. The craftsmen, even the two great craftsmen Hu Che and An Gang, have done the ink for you!”
"This afternoon, you have to assist Master An Gang by his side, so be careful!
Master An Gang has always been a strict person! "
"I understand." Su Wu agreed and continued to ask Ji Liang, "Master craftsman, how many ink patterns can be engraved on my body tomorrow?"
Ji Liang stopped eating, looked at Su Wu and said, "You have engraved one-twentieth of the ink drawing for the first time. If you have almost recovered today, I can consider engraving one-tenth for you tomorrow. Even one-eighth of the inked image.
It depends on your specific tolerance at that time.
After each exposure to ink, the body's endurance will increase to varying degrees.
There are too many things to consider when engraving for the first time, so I don’t dare to engrave at a normal speed.
There will be less worries the second time,
If you engrave at normal speed, even one-eighth of the ink pattern will take nearly half the time compared to the first time! "
Obviously,
Ji Liang still has a deep memory of the first time he inked Su Wu, which resulted in Su Wu and Omu almost not being able to return home at dark. He was also making a promise to Su Wu at the moment.
“I hope I can engrave one-eighth of the inked image the second time.
even more. "Su Wu smiled and said.
The two of them immersed themselves in finishing the food.
They all went to the sword-making room dedicated to Master An Gang to wait.
The two of them were the first to arrive,
The other ink masters working with An Gang have not yet arrived.
——It is also because Kira has a lower status compared to other ink craftsmen, so he needs to wait in the sword-making room in advance.
Since Su Wu was with him, he also came to wait.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long in the sword-making room.
The two ink craftsmen also gathered in the sword-making room and began to burn red charcoal fire and prepare various utensils.
There was little communication between the few of them, each doing their own thing.
As a 'newcomer', Su Wu only needed to pull the bellows, help light the fire, and occasionally adjust the temperature under An Gang's instructions.
At this time,
A master ink maker, whose body was covered with evil tattoos and whose body was haunted by traces of evil charm, picked up the sword forged by An Gang.
The blade embryo that has been 'extended' has a neat shape, with fine lines faintly visible on it.
"High-quality knife embryo!"
The inking master looks at the knife embryo,
After a while, he handed the knife blank to another thinner ink maker.
The lean craftsman stroked the mark struck by the hammer on the blade and admired: "Master An Gang's skills are unparalleled in the Boqi Kingdom. If this high-quality blade is used well in the future,
It should become a top-grade knife! "
He was talking,
He lowered his head and looked at Su Wu and Ji Liang who were busy.
Then he handed the knife embryo to Kira for viewing.
Kira saw the blade embryo and praised it again.
It was Su Wu's turn to appreciate the knife embryo.
Su Wu glanced at the imprints left by the hammer on the blade, and ran his fingers over the blade - Master An Gang's skills were extremely neat, and he couldn't find fault with this blade.
Indeed, as the slimming master said,
If Master An Gang performs stably in everything that follows,
This must be a top-grade knife.
Make every process perfect and strive for excellence.
What you get in the end is just a high-grade sword!
If you want to touch the swords at the two levels of 'extreme' and 'supreme', you can only do it by entering the state of 'sensation between heaven and man' and touching the inspiration of heaven and earth!
Su Wu praised the knife embryo as usual.
Return it to the ink maker.
After several more minutes, Master An Gang finally walked into the sword-making room.
This well-known master craftsman is taller than most Dongliu Islanders. He is thin and has a goatee under his chin. He looks like a teacher, more like a sledgehammer. The knife maker.
An Gang looked serious and unsmiling.
He glanced at the four people in the field who were bowing and saluted, and nodded.
His eyes lingered on Su Wu for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face: "Kotetsu recommended you to me, saying that the first sword you forged was a good sword.
Well done,
He gives you some killing stone scraps as a reward.
As the owner of Anzang Sword Forging Factory, I cannot be stingy.
——After you make the sword today, you can choose a pound of real killing stones to add more materials to your first sword! "
"Thank you, Master An Gang!
I will continue to work hard! "Su Wu responded immediately.
An Gang smiled and did not comment.
Kira, who was in the corner and was responsible for preparing the 'Blade Soil', twitched his lips secretly.
He found that ‘Abu’ often said what he just said,
It seems that it has become a mantra of the other party.
No matter when facing yourself, or facing Masters Kotetsu and Anzuna, as long as they receive praise, the other party will say loudly: "I will continue to work hard!"
Talk too much,
No matter how energetic it sounds, it still gives Kira a cynical and perfunctory feeling.
“The katana made today was specially commissioned by Omi Mori Fujiwara Goyoshi’s aide, Noda Yoshitomo.
The Fujiwara family is powerful, and we must go all out to complete their entrustment!
The quality of the sword cast this time,
It must be at the 'top grade', or even higher!
So, everyone should try their best! " An Gang glanced at the four people present. Under the deep sense of oppression in his eyes, everyone lowered their heads. Seeing this, Su Wu also lowered his head and loudly responded with "yes" together with the others.
immediately,
Everyone got busy,
An Gang didn't pay any more attention to Su Wu.
After Su Yan,
The two steps of shaping with fire and covering with earth and burning the blade went very smoothly.
However,
When ‘turning’ later,
An Gang and the slimming craftsman alternately put hammers on the blade to adjust the curvature of the blade.
At this moment, the blade suddenly turned blood red - drops of blood seeped out from the blade, and quickly gathered into a stream, continuously flowing into the calcining furnace next to it -
The fire in the furnace is burning brightly,
It shot out three feet high and turned into blood-red human hands in mid-air, competing to grab the knife blade forged by the two craftsmen!
Only then did Su Wu realize,
That blade is not made of ordinary steel.
But it was forged from the killing stone!
He had held the knife blade in his hand before and checked it, but he didn't notice anything unusual about it!
why is that?
Questions flashed through his mind.
At the same time, An Gang watched the flames turn into bloody hands. He grabbed the knife blade he was beating and was about to drag it into the fire. With a calm expression, he glanced at the uneasy master slimmer and shouted: "Don't be afraid. !
It's just that the killing stone woke up!
Just let it continue to sleep! "
While talking,
An Gang's gray hunting clothes suddenly turned into black fire and burned——
Showing the thin but muscular body underneath,
The body is covered with ink drawings,
The evil creatures in the picture started to squirm one after another,
Various inhuman claws, such as tiger claws, wolf claws, and eagle claws, etc. extend from An Gang's skin. Those claws are covered with blazing black fire. He grabs the hammer and hits the blade violently!
when! when! when!
Every time the hammer falls, the flaming bloody hand holding the knife blade trembles!
The slimming craftsman next to him saw this,
He also reacted, and purple-black flames surged up all over his body.
The claws of his hands, which were weaker than An Gang's, extended from his body. They also grabbed the hammer and violently forged the knife blade!
With the combined efforts of the two,
Those flaming bloody hands that stretched out from the furnace retracted one after another!
The skinny craftsman's face turned pale, and he was relieved to release the "Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibals Banquet" that he had awakened into the ink painting.
The claws extending from An Gang's body grasped the hammer, and You Zi kept hammering it.
This moment,
Su Wu sensed that An Gang's "intention" was flowing through his body and into the ink map, trying to communicate with those inhuman claws!
