"According to my estimate, it will take an hour or two no matter what." Xu Bai calculated the progress at this time, and then said to Guan Heng: "Anyway, you can't leave today, why not have some fun with all of us? How about passing the time?”
After Guan Hengwen heard this, he immediately smiled and asked: "Lezi? What is that?"
"Hahaha, the people of the Weishui tribe have fun, of course, by forging and refining armor."
Bi Beiqi explained: "The backyard is the workshop. Let's just find something to build some applications. These time will pass in the blink of an eye, and you can still sweat happily. Then take a hot bath, hey, that will be refreshing Woolen cloth."
After hearing what the other party said, Agou, who was immersed in eating, suddenly said: "What a great idea. I've never seen the process of making armor, so I'll go and have a look."
"Oh, what's so fun about those noisy things?" Tian Lin curled her lips at this moment: "Ruotao and I have already discussed it. After dinner, we will go to Elder Wang's place to find Xiao Yin and Mo Meiling. Fox Wan, let’s see you in the evening.”
So, after everyone finished lunch, they each went to find their own things to do. Guan Heng and Agou followed Xu Bai and the others to the workshop.
Xu Bai first casually taught them a few techniques on how to forge and beat copper embryos, and then everyone started practicing, but within a moment, Agou was kicked out.
That's because Agou struck too hard. Not only did the hammer knock the copper embryo into pieces, but the stove and bellows were almost shaken apart. Xu Bai and the others couldn't laugh or cry, so they had to send Agou back to his room to take a nap.
However, Guan Heng slightly understood the trick. He picked up a red-hot copper embryo with a pair of tongs and knocked it dozens of times. The rough shape of the dagger appeared.
"Hey, I didn't expect that your boy is not only superior in strength, but he can also learn this forging technique." Binango scratched his head at this time, and said with a bit of jealousy on his face: "You can't be a Monster, right?”
"Bah, you are the monster, your whole family is a monster."
Guan Heng spat angrily, and then explained: "Before this, I went to Zhetian Lake and met the orphans of the Cen family who used to live in the Weishui tribe, and I also helped them remove the leprosy skin from the lake. The tiger dragon retrieved a bronze stele of forging experience from its belly. Don’t all three major surnames of your Weishui tribe have a piece of this thing?”
Having said this, Guan Heng paused for a moment, and then continued: "The elder of the Cen clan is very generous. He let me use animal skin to rub a piece of writing on the forging experience, and I took it out when I had nothing to do. Look, now I hear you talk about the actual training techniques. If you don’t know how to do it anymore, you will really be a fool."
"I see." Xu Bai touched his chin and said: "The bronze tablets of the casting experience of each of the three major surnames of the Weishui tribe record the secret techniques of the family. Each one is different. You can see the Cen family's I think it’s a kind of luck.”
Seeing the fiery light flashing in the eyes of the other party and Brother Bi, Guan Heng knew that as a forger, anyone who saw different exquisite casting techniques could not help but have a desire to study and explore.
"I promised Elder Cen not to leak out the contents of the Bronze Monument, but they are about to move the whole family back to the Weishui Tribe, and you may soon learn about their methods."
Guan Heng smiled slightly at this time: "Well, let's tell you everything. But there are some things that are not important. We can teach each other. You can just teach me the basic techniques of forging armor."
"No problem." Xu Bai and the Bi family brothers were very happy when they heard this. In the next half hour, Guan Heng also learned a lot of basic knowledge about tempering and casting armor and equipment. For him, It is said that being able to absorb more knowledge has only advantages and no disadvantages.
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" Seeing Guan Heng's action of hitting the copper embryo with his hammer, Xu Bai immediately shouted: "Stop, stop, stop, the more you hit the tip of the weapon, the slower you have to slow down. I just said Didn’t I tell you?”
"Bah, I think the faster the better..." Before Bi Beiqi could finish speaking, Xu Bai immediately stared back and retorted: "Fuck you, I said slow down."
Of course Binango spoke to his brother: "Listen to Xiaonan and speed up!"
"No, it's slowing down!"
"You want to fight, right? I've long disliked you, believe it or not, I'll beat you up?" Xu Bai roared arrogantly at this time. The Bi family brothers didn't look down on this guy, so they rolled up their arms and sleeves and said in unison : "Two against one, you are no match."
"Three idiots, alas..." Guan Heng turned a deaf ear to the quarrels of the three people at this time. He hammered the hammer quickly and orderly, "dong dong dong, dang, dang, dang." In a flash, he finished hammering the copper embryo, and then put it into the bucket. As soon as it was placed inside, a plume of steam erupted from the object.
"Huh?! He has finished forging the short copper sword?" The three people arguing heard the noise and turned around in shock. At this time, Guan Heng threw the sword embryo on the table with a clanking sound, and he said: "How is it? As long as the hilt is added and the edge is polished, the sword will be completely finished."
"Oh my god, tut tut." Xu Bai picked up the sword embryo and looked at it carefully. He whispered: "Not bad. You can forge such a good embryo with the first blow. I have never seen it before. Come on. , you all come here to find faults and see if they are just superficial.”
After hearing each other's words, the Bi family brothers had long forgotten the reason for their dispute with Xu Bai. The two people immediately gathered around and passed the works of Guan Heng back and forth.
"The length is just right, and the weight is not too heavy." Binango muttered at this time: "Even if I come here in person, I may not be able to forge such a good sword embryo. Boy, how did you do it?"
Bi Beiqi also said: "Well, he is an old forger of this clan for many years, and that's the extent of what he can do."
"Do you want to know the reason? It's actually very simple."
Guan Heng wanted to pass the sword embryo he had made at this time, and then said: "Actually, at the beginning of your quarrel, I already knew that the result could not be determined for the time being, because the tempering techniques of the three major surnames have been used for hundreds of years to eliminate the waste and retain the essence. The products of continuous sublimation each have their own merits, so there is no need to forcefully differentiate them."
At this point, Guan Heng pointed at the bellows fire and continued: "For example, Xu Bai taught me how to use fire to smelt ore and create an embryonic shape in the shortest time. This is how the Xu family is rough, heroic and It’s a very sophisticated approach.”
"Then there are the techniques of forming the copper embryos mentioned by the Bi brothers, when to return them to the furnace for heating, and when to beat them quickly and slowly, which fully demonstrates Bi's meticulous and serious techniques." Guan Heng smiled slightly at this time: " Of course, there is something you haven’t taught me, and that is the final step.”
