Wei Taining had already brought the Rainbow Shadow Sword to Tang Mugong to see, but Wei Yan was very curious about what Jade Rakshasa had just done.
So Wei Yan asked: "Sister Luo, why did you cut your finger with a sword just now?"
"Test the sword!" Luo Chunmei replied.
"Then what is the sword soul you are talking about?" Wei Yan asked again.
"The swords of all divine weapons are not just because they are extremely sharp, but they also mostly have spirituality, and this spirituality is the soul of the weapon. The so-called soul of the sword is the soul of the sword, and it is also the spirituality of the sword. That rainbow just now The Shadow Sword blows its hair and cuts off its hair. It is extremely sharp. It is indeed a good sword. However, it devours blood and has no reaction. Therefore, it has no soul, so it is not a sword, but at most it is just a good sword. All divine weapons have it. The spirituality of the weapon, and after it devours blood, it will make a slight whistling sound to show its spirituality. The spirituality of each magic weapon is different, such as the Lingfeng Sword of the Fifth Young Hero, the sword is noble; and I If you are a Rakshasa sword, the sword is vicious. If you are a girl and want to choose a weapon, it is best to find a sword with a little spirituality." Jade Rakshasa suggested.
"Oh! I understand. My sister cut her finger just now just to test out the power of the Rainbow Shadow Sword, but it didn't have a sword soul at all, so my sister felt dissatisfied." Wei Yan is a very smart girl, and she immediately Got it.
"That's right. Sister, you are very smart, and with Mr. Tang's guidance, I believe it won't be long before your martial arts skills surpass mine." Jade Rakshasa said politely.
"Where are you! I just want to learn some martial arts for self-defense. I don't want to make others worry whenever I go out!"
The three women were chatting happily, but they saw that Tang Zhong was talking non-stop to a piece of iron in the shop.
"Hey! Silly boy, what are you doing?" Wei Yan suddenly walked over with the other two people and asked.
"Haha! This stone can actually talk, I'm chatting with it." Tang Zhong raised his head and smirked at the three of them.
Regarding Tang Zhong's ability, Wei Yan no longer had any doubts and just asked: "Then what did it say?"
"It said it was so lonely and no one understood it." Tang Zhong said with a silly smile.
Seeing the silly love talk between the two couples, Wei Yan and Qi Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it, so they had to go back to look at the other three swords, leaving the two of them alone to study the stubborn stone like madmen.
Wei Taining's weapons shop is not small, and it has eighteen kinds of weapons, as well as all kinds of hidden weapons. All the heroes are from the martial arts world, so it is natural to study and discuss with each other.
Tang Mugong didn't like to discuss with others, so he just looked around by himself, and sometimes chatted with the swordsman for a few words. Because the Tang clan's hidden weapons were all homemade, Tang Mugong also knew a lot about the art of casting. It's just that he is good at making concealed weapons, and swords and the like have become his shortcomings. Therefore, today he had the opportunity, fortunately, to chat more with these weapon-refining masters in order to exchange casting experiences.
Tang Mugong was chatting happily with a swordsmith, when suddenly Wei Taining found him with the Rainbow Shadow Sword.
"Mr. Tang, what do you think of this sword?" Wei Taining asked as he handed over the Rainbow Shadow Sword.
The old man was also an expert in forging. He only pulled out half of the sword and took a look at it, then said: "It's a good sword, very sharp, but its performance is too poor to be considered superior."
"Hey! Old man, this is my store-shaking treasure! Aren't you satisfied yet?" Wei Taining really didn't expect that Jade Rakshasa would say it right, and he was obviously a little anxious.
"The craftsmen here are of this level. It is not easy to cast this Rainbow Shadow Sword." Tang Mugong's implication was that even all the casters here did not notice it. .
"Then Tai Ning has nothing to do. The old man has too high standards. I'm afraid the store won't be able to satisfy you." Wei Tai Ning said a little disappointed, but he knew that the old man was really an expert and what he said was indeed reasonable. He really doesn't have a master who can be considered a master here, but at most there are some ordinary or relatively good casters. If you want to use a good sword, this place will be fine. If you want to use a precious blade, this place will be warmer for a longer time.
"In that case, let's go back!" Tang Mugong was obviously disappointed.
"Then I'll send you back home." Even though the business was not done, the etiquette cannot be lost.
After all, "Business fails, benevolence and righteousness remain"!
Tang Mugong and Wei Taining came out and were about to call everyone back when they saw Tang Zhong and his wife studying and discussing an ugly and rotten stone. Tang Mugong couldn't help but asked curiously: "Hey! You two what are you doing?"
"Grandpa, we are talking silly things." Wei Yan replied with a smile.
In the past, Wei Yan felt that Tang Zhong was stupid, which made her lose face. However, now, she has integrated herself into Tang Zhong's stupidity, and is often proud of it.
"Oh! What nonsense?" Tang Mugong was very pleased to see that the young couple was so harmonious now.
"The silly boy said that this stone can talk, so I asked him to teach me and wanted to try to talk to this stone!" Wei Yan said a little embarrassedly, as if she herself thought this behavior was ridiculous.
"Then have you learned it?" Tang Mugong also asked with a smile.
"No! I don't know how he understood it at all." Wei Yan replied blankly.
"Haha! She is stupid, don't be stupid with her!" Tang Mugong said, he pulled Tang Zhong up and asked: "What did this stone say to you?"
"It said it was so lonely and no one understood it." Tang Zhong still replied.
After hearing what Tang Zhong said, Tang Mugong actually became somewhat interested in this stone, and just asked: "Taining! What kind of stone is this, and why is it placed here?"
"This turned out to be a piece of meteorite outside Zhuozhou City. It was picked up by a farmer outside the village and brought to me. I saw that it was indeed a good piece of iron, so I bought it for twenty taels of silver. But guess what later? What's going on?" Wei Taining asked deliberately to keep things a secret.
"What happened next?" When Tang Zhong saw Wei Taining talking about the origin of the stone, he was the first to become interested.
"Later, I originally wanted to use it to refine a peerless magic weapon, but I burned it in the furnace for three days and three nights. Not only did it not melt at all, but the color did not change at all. I had no choice but to burn it in the stove for three days and three nights. He left it here as trash, but he couldn't bear to throw it away, so he lost the twenty taels of silver in vain." Wei Taining replied.
Tang Mugong's expression suddenly became serious. He squatted down slowly, looked at the meteorite iron repeatedly, and then exclaimed as if he had discovered a treasure: "What a good thing, a rare treasure!"
Everyone knew that Tang Mugong was also a master of casting. Unexpectedly, he would sigh like this about this stone, and then he finally started to become more interested in this stone.
Among the Tangmen, not only Tang Mugong was an expert in iron smelting, but the three elders Tang Muxiang, Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian were also very proficient in iron smelting.
"I also know it's a good piece of iron! But what's the point of light? It can't be refined!" Wei Taining seemed a little angry when he saw the stone, because it caused him to lose twenty taels of silver in vain.
When the three elders heard Tang Mugong's praise, they all came over to look at the stubborn stone.
"There should still be a way to refine it, why don't the four of us try again?" After Tang Muxiang read it, he asked the other three elders.
"Taining, set up the stove again immediately, and let the fire burn as high as possible. In addition, ask your best weapon masters to come over and help us four elders forge together." Tang Mugong said.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Since the Fourth Elder has a way to turn stubborn rocks into treasures, then why wouldn't he do it!
Soon, the stove was set up, and the four old men put the stubborn stone on the stove to calcine again. Sure enough, they found that not only did it not melt, but it also did not change its color at all.
Tang Muxiang looked at it, and then said: "Back then, the great swordsman Ou Yezi also encountered the divine iron, but it could not be refined, so he forged the divine iron with blood to become a divine weapon. How about we, the four elders, do the same thing today? Iron made of blood." Tang Muxiang said, first cutting his palm open with his dagger hand, and then dripping blood on it. When the other three elders saw it, they also followed the same method and dripped blood on it.
Just like this, almost another hour passed, and the meteorite finally began to slowly turn red.
"It's about to melt! Look, it's about to melt!" Wei Taining suddenly exclaimed.
"It's still early! It won't be possible to refine this stubborn iron in just three days and three nights. Let's go back first! Tai Ning, I'll leave this place to your subordinates. If the stubborn iron is transformed, send someone as soon as possible. Someone will inform us." Tang Mugong said, and he really planned to go back this time.
"Okay, old man, you go back first. I asked them to keep a close eye on this place. If there is any situation, I will notify you immediately." Wei Taining replied.
Everyone had to go back to rest.
Next, for three days in a row, the four elders took turns coming to the weapons shop to watch. It was not until the fourth day that the stubborn iron was finally forged through and gradually began to melt.
When everyone heard about it, they were all curious, and they all came to the blacksmith shop to watch.
It was not until the afternoon that the stubborn stone was finally refined into refined iron on the fourth day.
The next step is to forge the sword.
None of the four elders were very good at forging swords, so they could only rely on Wei Taining's forger to hammer it out hammer by hammer. When it gets dark, the sword body finally slowly takes shape, and then begins to be tempered. At this time, Tang Mugong and other four elders came to help again, but they were not very satisfied.
The sword was tempered again and again, and burned red again and again. When the swordsman was about to touch the water again, he was suddenly stopped by Tang Mugong: "Wait a moment."
"What's wrong!" the swordsman asked.
Tang Mugong did not answer, but suddenly shouted: "Yan'er, come here!"
Wei Yan didn't know why her grandfather called her. She was stunned for a moment and then walked over in confusion.
Tang Mugong suddenly grabbed her right hand with his left hand, and then said, "Don't be afraid of the pain!" But before he finished speaking, his dagger hand had already been drawn out, and only opened Wei Yan's right palm, and then wiped away the blood that flowed from her hand. It drips from the blade of the sword to the hilt.
Just listen to the sword making a soft "sizzling" sound. Then, the swordsman suddenly touched the sword body to the water again, and there was another violent quenching sound. Then the sword came out of the water, and faintly made a "buzzing" sword rhyme vibration. There is a sound, it seems that the sword is ready.
Tang Mugong took over the newly practiced sword, and saw that the sword blade was faintly glowing purple in the places where Wei Yan's bright red dripped, and the sword's brilliance was dazzling. When it reflected the purple red, another sword light suddenly flashed out.
Tang Mugong finally nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is the good sword!"
At this time, Wei Taining, the sword master, the three elders, the four ghosts, and the Jade Rakshasa also came to see the sword, and they were all very satisfied. Tang Zhong was the only one, but he had already fallen asleep hiding in the chair.
After everyone had finished watching, Tang Mugong handed the newly practiced sword to Wei Yan and said, "Yan'er, take a look, what do you think?"
"I don't understand. Grandpa said yes, so it must be good!" Wei Yan took the sword and loved it for a long time. But after looking at it, she suddenly remembered that the sword didn't have a name yet, so she said to Tang Mugong: "Grandpa, this This sword doesn’t have a name yet, why don’t you give it one?”
Tang Mugong thought for a moment, and then said: "This sword was made by swallowing blood twice, and the part of the sword body that was quenched by blood is still slightly purple-red. And since you call it Wei Yan, then just name it Xue Yan." Is that okay?”
"Xue Yan, Xue Yan sword, it's very good! Just call it Xue Yan!" Wei Yan replied with a smile, and everyone agreed.
