410, Supreme! (1/2)
Just now in the darkness, people and rocks were already undergoing strange changes.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the strange changes of the human stone were cut through by the knife polished by An Gang.
The human stone that has been eliminated by the strange changes will inevitably be smelted at an accelerated rate.
Hu Che retracted his gaze from the 'half-pole' knife in Su Wu's hand and followed An Gang to the calcining furnace. He observed at the furnace mouth for a long time, nodded and reported to An Gang: "The human stone should have been smelted. ,
Brother An Gang, do you want to take out this stone now? "
"Take it out!" An Gang nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, his mind was filled with surging inspiration, and this exciting inspiration all came from his polishing of the 'suspected mediocre knife' made by Su Wu. He followed the natural lines on the blade. Polishing the sword further deepens the understanding of the texture.
Somehow, An Gang had a 'feeling' in his heart.
Next, I will forge the sword this time.
There will definitely be unexpected gains!
It is very possible to forge a rare and famous sword!
An Gang and Ko Tetsu gathered around the calcining furnace and took the smelted 'iron' out of the calcining furnace.
the other side,
Su Wu leaned against the felt table,
He looked at the "half-pole" sword that was forged by himself and polished by master craftsman An Gang. It glowed with brilliance, far exceeding everyone's expectations for it.
Darkness flows over the blade like water,
The natural patterns on the blade were silently soaked by the surrounding darkness,
Just looking at the blade gives people a powerful feeling that "this knife is accumulating power and may make the strongest strike at any time."
This knife only uses ordinary iron ore.
Yet it is forged,
It seems that there is an indescribable spirituality,
This kind of spirituality gives it the ability to cut off evil spirits.
Because of its own material limitations, the ability to 'cut off evil spirits' is already a huge breakthrough for this knife.
This sword can be regarded as the ‘Shikigami sword’.
It cannot cut through the evil spirits,
But there will be no difficulty in cutting the shikigami used by Onmyoji!
Su Wu found some fabric and wrapped the "half-pole" knife. After waiting for dawn, he discussed with An Gang and Hu Che to give it a knife inscription, and looked for materials to match it with a tandem and a sword. Knife handles, scabbards, etc.
Ding-dang-dang-dang...
On another felt table, An Gang and Hu Che worked together to smash the human stone ‘𬭁iron’ taken out from the calcining furnace.
After the iron has cooled,
The two selected a small pile of 'Jade Steel' and 'Pao Ding Iron'.
Two types of iron blocks with different toughness and hardness were merged into the jade steel and cooker iron piles calcined from other killing stones.
An Gang raised his head, looked at Su Wu who had wrapped the knife blade, and said with a smile: "Jun Zhuzhao, it's time to start 'Suyan'. All subsequent forging processes require the three of us to work together to complete it." !”
"good!"
Su Wu didn't say much.
He could feel the light surging in An Gang's eyes, and some indescribable inspiration ignited An Gang's thinking like fire.
What kind of knife can An Gang create in this state, coupled with these extremely high-quality killing stones?
Is it possible to reach the ‘Supreme Level’?
Su Wu was looking forward to this.
More than ten kilograms of 'killing stone jade steel' was put into the furnace and smelted into a rectangular shape.
Then re-smelted,
Shaped into a thick plate,
Use a steel chisel to fold the thick plate in half and continue to forge it.
The three craftsmen in the sword-making room did not often cooperate with each other to forge swords.
But the three of them concentrated on the process of forging the sword.
Everyone is fully aware of the work process of the other two, and can achieve seamless connection and cooperate with the operations of others.
Not to mention the proficiency of the three people's skills, especially after Su Wu took the lead in entering the state of 'Heart Forging', An Gang was led by him and coupled with his own accumulation of inspiration, he also entered this state.
The two are connected mentally,
Kotetsu also stepped in!
Dang Dang Dang!
In the sword-making room, sparks flew everywhere.
The thick jade steel plate on the iron felt was forged to a certain extent, and fine and complex textures appeared on the steel block.
The three of them saved up money to bake ‘Pao Ding Tie’.
Finally, the two were combined, the core iron was wrapped with leather iron, and the steel block was struck and stretched, gradually forming the prototype of a tachi.
The knife embryo was made, but the three craftsmen unanimously did not check the quality of the knife embryo.
Continue with the next forging process.
Made of fire,
Covered with earth and burned blade,
This process has been mastered by the three of them.
The blade embryo wrapped in blade soil was put back into the calcining furnace.
The three of them looked attentively at the knife embryo that was gradually burning red in the fire, as well as the black blade soil on the knife embryo.
There was no flaw in the entire process.
Everything was as expected by the three of them, and it gradually came to an end.
The gloomy sky outside the sword-making room gradually faded away.
Wisps of sunlight shine through the windows into the sword-making room filled with black dust.
The lamp on the table had not been blown out - the three of them had no time to care about the burning of a lamp at the moment.
An Gang wore thick gloves on his left hand and took out the calcined knife embryo with iron tongs.
The fiery red knife embryo was placed on the iron felt. He stared at the fiery red knife embryo. He could only feel the flow of heat and could not judge its completion from its texture. He said slowly: "Zhu Zhaojun, Brother Hu Che." , can everything that follows be completed by me alone?
There are many uncertain thoughts in my mind..."
He was asking Hu Che and Su Wu for their opinions.
At the critical moment, Master An Gang's habit of being hesitant happened again.
Perhaps when he was carrying out a business, he was hit by the people closest to him, so that An Gang has been indecisive since then, and he is always hesitant to make decisions at critical moments.
Missed a lot of opportunities.
At the moment, he seemed to be asking Hu Che and Su Wu for their opinions.
In fact, I am asking myself, can I complete the final steps?
At this time, someone needs to give him a push.
Su Wu and Hu Che looked at each other.
The latter nodded.
"Master An Gang, just go ahead and do it!
In our life, there is not only this knife that needs to be forged,
Don’t take it too seriously! "Su Wu responded in a deep voice.
"What Mr. Zhu Zhao said is right,
This is just a small hurdle..." An Gang seemed to be muttering to himself, and seemed to be responding to what Su Wu said. Countless inhuman claws stretched out from his naked and thin upper body.
These terrifying and weird claws were constantly connecting and knotting behind him,
at a certain moment,
The many non-human claws turned into two pitch-black human hands with abnormally long nails.
Two hands passed over his shoulders,
Instead of his own arms, grasping the hammer,
Forge the red-hot blade with a unique rhythm!
"ah!"
"Numba—Numba—Numba—"
"Bufo Buddha Fo Buddha——"
During this forging, the blade embryo actually let out a man's cry of pain!
The trumpet has just started,
Then he was pressed down hard by the hammer,
Some bright red blood seeped out from the red blade, and was hit hard by the hammer, forming black and red lines on the blade!
A purple man's face emerged from the blade,
He was also smashed by a hammer!
The whole knife twists back and forth like a cartilage snake, changing into different curvatures, but the hammer in An Gang's inhuman claws can always accurately land within seven inches of this constantly twisting 'cartilage snake' superior!
Dang Dang Dang!
After seven hammer blows in a row!
The 'cartilaginous snake' has transformed into a sword with perfect shape, texture and length!
At this moment,
An Gang's shoulders and hands hit the sword again without hesitation.
Destroyed this 'perfect sword'!
Su Wu's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw a golden-red light flowing in An Gang's eyes, as if a torrent of magma washed through his eyes, and the rolling torrent of magma disappeared in an instant.
An Gang's eyes returned to normal,
That sword that he had forged into an 'imperfect sword',
Take on its true form.
Only then did Su Wu discover that,
The previous so-called perfection,
It's just an illusion caused by the transformation of the killing stone.
The real sword that is presented to you now is the ‘just right sword’!
The blade is quenched,
Cool down gradually.
An Gang handed the pitch-black knife blade to Su Wu: "Jun Zhuzhao, please polish this knife for me!"
"good!"
Su Wu nodded immediately,
The moment he took the tachi blade, he immediately asked An Gang: "Master An Gang, what did you see just now?"
What did you see?
This question is asked out of the blue.
But An Gang immediately remembered the scene he had seen just now when he was immersed in the state of 'sympathy between heaven and man'. He opened his mouth and replied: "I saw some statues put together here and there.
I want to straighten those statues,
The statue disappeared..."
After speaking,
An Gang looked confused.
As he spoke just now, all the images that appeared in his mind disappeared.
He knew that he had just entered a state of communion between heaven and man,
But I just can’t remember,
In that state, what exactly did I sense?
Fortunately, Su Wu asked him immediately and got some vague but enough information to serve as supporting evidence.
Su Wu had no way of remembering what he saw and heard when he first interacted with heaven and man.
But with this information given by An Gang,
The next time he enters the communion between heaven and man, he can compare and verify it.
He raised the dark knife in his hand,
Then he went to the felt table next to him and polished the newly made tachi for Anzuna.
An Gang had previously polished the sword that he forged when he "almost entered the state of communion between heaven and man." He benefited a lot, and thus forged the current sword.
Now it was Su Wu's turn to polish the newly made sword for An Gang.
He observed and tasted the sword attentively,
I also benefited a lot.
The newly polished sword is like a stream of autumn water, with a sharp light and no traces.
Su Wu picked up the knife blade and said,
Just flick it with your finger,
The long-lasting clang of swords was heard.
"An Gang-kun." He raised his eyes to look at An Gang, who looked worried. Kotetsu had already stepped closer.
An Gang didn't dare to approach.
He was still standing in the distance and asked Su Wu: "How is the quality of the sword?"
"Congratulations to Mr. An Gang.
This is a 'little supreme' sword!
The ultimate threshold has been passed! "
