Chapter 1429 The True Intention of the Queen Mother of the West

"So that's it." Zhao Yong immediately understood Su Wu's intention. He nodded and said, "After we were going to refine a batch of dragon marrow gold, we began to further study ways to improve the quality of this kind of gold and iron. The general and I have the same idea.

We will fully cooperate with the general."

"Yes."

Su Wu nodded and turned to ask Ji Xingzhou: "What training methods are used to train armor and soldiers nowadays?"

He had promoted Wu Liu, a Han Gong, to be the head of the Han Gui Department, and taught him various forging methods of Dongliu Island. It will take some time for Wu Liu to adapt to his own ink map. Su Wu asked him to rest for a while, so he was not present today.

"There is no systematic forging method.

It's just that many skills that have been used since the Qin and Han Dynasties are still in use today." Ji Xingzhou was stunned when he heard this, and then he answered, "Is there a secret hidden in this so-called forging method?"

Dongliu Island developed various forging methods such as ghost forging and heart forging. First, because the killing stone is difficult to obtain and the resource is precious, it is necessary to develop these forging methods in order to maximize the efficiency of the killing stone. Second, it is also because these forging methods can indeed attract the power of heaven and earth during the use process, making the swords and knives magical.

But now in the Divine Works Bureau, the monks' blessing spells on the armor and the Taoists engraved various talismans and hexagrams on the armor and weapons. In fact, invisibly, the cooperation of heaven and earth has surpassed many forging methods on Dongliu Island. However, it is also beneficial and harmless for the ghost workers to master one or two forging methods.

"Proficient use of various forging methods can indeed make one's mind blend with metal, iron and inanimate objects, and it is more likely to give armor and weapons various spiritualities." Su Wu replied to Ji Xingzhou, "But these various forging methods are indeed not means that must be mastered.

Except for the "Han Gui Department" who need to fully participate in the forging of armor and weapons, the other departments of the Divine Works Bureau can learn or not learn various forging methods."

Although Su Wu's attitude towards forging practice was casual at the moment, everyone present was concerned about it.

They were now at a time of great ambition and full of ambition. Now that they saw an opportunity to improve a little more, they naturally would not let it go.

Ji Xingzhou looked at the faces of the apprentices, grinned, and said to Su Wu: "If that's the case, then I must learn all these forging methods.

I am in charge of the training of various military officers, but I haven't mastered even one forging method. If I tell others, my apprentices will laugh at me."

He bowed casually to Su Wu and said with a smile: "I wonder if the general can teach me one or two forging methods? So that I can show my prowess in front of these apprentices."

When everyone saw Ji Xingzhou's behavior, most of them smiled knowingly.

They have been with Ji Xingzhou for some time, and they also know that Master Ji is an easy-going and free-spirited person. The so-called dignity of a teacher is not worth mentioning to Master Ji. He doesn't care about the so-called "showing his prowess in front of others". What he said now is just a joke.

Ji Xingzhou asked Su Wu for all kinds of forging methods in order to teach them to the apprentices in the thatched cottage who are interested in this.

"I have also taught several forging methods to Wu Liu, the head of the Han Gui Department. The Han Gui workers in the Han Gui Department can follow Wu Liu to study the sword forging methods.

The several forging methods I have mastered now actually come from Dongliu Island. Compared with the various methods of forging swords and weapons in the world from ancient times to the present, they are actually more "unconventional". You can use these forging methods as references, but you don't have to indulge in them.

In the future, we should search for the ancient and modern methods of forging armor and weapons in the world, mix them together, and finally form a systematic forging method for the Shengong Bureau." Su Wu took the opportunity to instruct all the apprentices, and then condensed the various forging methods learned in Dongliu Island into one idea, and handed them over to Ji Xingzhou, who would slowly study and comprehend them, and then combine his own experience to reform the forging method and pass it on to the apprentices of the Shengong Bureau.

Su Wu, Ji Xingzhou, Zhao Yong and others finalized the details and procedures of forging the "Xiwangmu Shengren Armor" this time, and this armor forging officially began.

In the thatched cottage.

On the iron table, a piece of rice paper, a brush, and an inkstone have been placed.

A painter with delicate features stood at the corner of the table, slowly grinding the ink stick and water in the inkstone. Another painter spread the rice paper on the iron table and used a paperweight to smooth out the tiny wrinkles on the rice paper.

Su Wu sensed the true meaning of the 'Xuanbian Xian' flowing in Huang Tian's decree, and the "Eighty-Eight Immortals Scroll" unfolded in his mind in an instant. Eighty-seven gods, each of which was deeply spiritual and mysterious.

His mind was focused on the "Queen Mother of the West" who was in the center of the scroll and surrounded by the gods. He used the mysterious immortals' true meaning to constantly depict and simulate the image of the Queen Mother of the West in the painting. After his own nature successfully copied the true meaning of the gods flowing in the picture of the "Queen Mother of the West", he picked up the brush on the table, dipped it in ink, and began to draw on the rice paper.

This time, he only drew the "Queen Mother of the West", but Su Wu drew it more carefully than he did when he drew the entire "Eighty-Eight Immortals Scroll" before.

The previous "Eighty-Eight Immortals Scroll" was just appreciated by people. However, the current "Queen Mother of the West Scroll" is not only to be appreciated by many craftsmen in the Divine Works Bureau, but also to support the scroll with the true meaning of the gods, so that many craftsmen can "communicate" with the true meaning of the gods in it when appreciating the scroll, and thus understand the various details of engraving talismans, blessing mantras, and the shape of armor pieces.

This is why the Ink Painting is the core of the Sheng Ren Jia.

A Ink Painting is the ‘general outline’ of a Sheng Ren Jia.

The ghost workers sensed the operation of Yi numbers and the opportunity of the interaction between heaven and man from this ‘general principle’, and then decomposed the ‘general principle’ into ‘detailed principles’ and applied them to all aspects of armor making.

While copying the ‘Xiwangmu’s Divine Image’, Su Wu himself was also trying to understand the true meaning of heaven and man.

At first, he could only sense the changes in this ‘true meaning of heaven and man’, and after the human will was mixed with the charm of heavenly principles, that sudden and impeccable ‘human will’ was embedded in a certain node of the operation of heavenly principles, and then the heavenly principles that were originally running smoothly and directly to a certain place suddenly changed their direction - the true meaning of heaven and man was condensed at this time.

After that, Su Wu discarded the concept of human will and heavenly principles in his heart, and only the rhythm like breathing and heartbeat remained in his heart.

The rhythm that concealed a certain rhythm eventually replaced his heartbeat.

The sound rang in his ears one after another, and he thus fully understood the Yi principles contained in the ‘True Meaning of the Queen Mother of the West’——

Su Wu put the last stroke on the ‘Picture of the Queen Mother of the West’s Divine Form’.

The whole painting came alive in an instant, a layer of cold air overflowed from the paper, and a thick layer of frost and snow froze the table!
