Chapter 56 Meteor Iron
As the forging and armament organization of Yinren Village, the Blacksmith is also one of the most important institutions in Yinren Village. The leader of the blacksmith is Lin Rufa, the son of the village chief Lin Hengshan and the father of Lin Fenghuo. He is also the only great master of weapon refining in the entire Luoye County.
Pass through the huge iron gate built by the blacksmith, and when you walk in, you will see independent courtyards. In each courtyard there is a deacon wearing a black robe, followed by several blacksmiths wearing gray shorts.
Yi Xifeng came to the largest courtyard with ease, where Lin Rufa led the blacksmiths of Yinren Village to forge.
At this time, Lin Rufa was wearing a black robe and explaining something to several blacksmiths. As the leader of the blacksmith, Lin Rufa rarely forges weapons by himself. Unless it is a temple weapon, a divine weapon, or something like Yi Xifeng's return scabbard, which is forged for his family, he will do it himself. .
Of course, every time Lin Rufa personally forged the divine weapons and temple weapons, he would attract crowds of people in the village. The blacksmith never hid his clumsiness, and even moved the most critical step of quenching the magic weapon into the huge water tank in front of the big iron door at the blacksmith's entrance.
The "green fire knife" that was forged three years ago was quenched in the huge water tank outside the blacksmith's door. At that time, it was through observing the whole process of quenching that Yi Xifeng determined his own cultivation path and started his own medicinal wine cultivation plan.
When Lin Rufa saw Yi Xifeng's arrival, he nodded slightly to him and motioned for him to wait for him in the lobby behind.
"You brat, why are you free to come to my place today? Did you bring some new wine?" Lin Rufa walked in with a smile and asked.
Yi Xifeng smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle Lin, I really didn't bring any wine with me today."
Lin Rufa's eyes widened and he said, "You didn't bring any wine? Then you must be up to no good. Come on, get out of here, you bastard." Lin Rufa sat cross-legged on the futon and crossed his arms across his chest.
"Uncle Lin, there must be good wine. Don't worry, I'm currently researching a new wine." Yi Xifeng said mysteriously.
Lin Rufa has something new to drink when he hears it, although this brat is sometimes reliable and sometimes unreliable. But when it comes to big things and drinking, this kid has always been very reliable. He quickly asked: "If you have something to say, tell me quickly!"
Yi Xifeng shook off the baggage behind him and placed the contents on the elm wooden plan between the two of them.
I saw four stones on the plan, the big ones were as big as heads and the small ones were as big as walnuts.
Yi Xifeng asked: "Uncle Lin, can you help me take a look at these things?"
Lin Rufa sat up straight, swept away his drunkard and rogue demeanor, picked up one of the stones as big as a fist, and said: "This stone is called hematite. It is a specialty of Hongyan Town. I heard that the stone is from Hongyan Town." The name comes from this stone. Compared with ordinary iron stones, this iron stone has a higher iron yield rate, and the iron produced has fire properties." Yi Xifeng nodded, this piece was from the Chunfeng River last time The "profiteer" bought it from the market.
Lin Rufa put down the hematite, then picked up the stone as big as a head, and said: "This stone is a bit rarer than the hematite. This stone is called the Ice Iron Stone, uh... I remember it, you asked me . However, the average ice iron stone is only the size of a fist, and it is rare to see one as big as a head."
Yi Xifeng said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, please take a look at these two pieces." Yi Xifeng pointed to the two remaining stones on the table with some anticipation.
Lin Rufa picked up the white jade-like stone among them, looked at it for a moment, and said: "This thing is a rare thing. This stone is called zeolite, also called water and fire stone." At this point, Lin Rufa glanced at Yi Xifeng , then said: "It is as hot as fire in water, and it will boil like water when burned in fire. This thing is in line with your technique." Yi Xifeng smiled slightly, and he was determined. This piece of zeolite is exactly what Yi Xifeng is looking for.
Finally, he picked up the stone that was as big as a walnut and saw that its surface was like a sapphire. Lin Rufa looked at it for a long time and said slowly: "This thing is a meteorite."
"Meteorite?" Yi Xifeng was quite surprised by the answer. This meteorite was also obtained from that cold pool. Last night at the bottom of the pond, Yi Xifeng used "Thousand Miles of River" to bring all the rocks and gravel from the bottom of the pond to the shore.
Yi Xifeng went ashore, first used the smell of alcohol to steam the water off his body, then put on his jacket and gown, and then started picking things up on the shore. The ice iron stone that was as big as a head was the largest ice iron stone in the pile of rubble. In addition to the black ice iron stone, Yi Xifeng also found several pieces of white jade-colored zeolite.
And this piece of meteorite is sandwiched between the ice iron stone and zeolite as big as a head.
Lin Rufa took out a small hammer and was slowly beating the meteorite. After a while, he said: "Tell me what you think first. I don't see any clues about this meteorite. It needs to be observed for a while."
Yi Xifeng nodded and responded: "Uncle Lin, I want to forge a sword!"
"Oh? Tell me what you think."
"Actually, I have been thinking about this issue a long time ago. It was Zhao Long who inspired me. Last time in Maple Leaf Forest, his San Qinglian and Liang Qingfeng were both executed with the help of his two swords."
"Yes, his Qinglian double-edged sword is indeed a good knife. The main material is crushed ice iron stone, plus cold black iron and mercury magnetic crystals. It is not only suitable for his water-based internal strength technique, but also preserves the magnetism of mercury magnetic crystals. , even if the weapon is broken into pieces, as long as the inner strength is poured into it, it can still come together. With his skills, it will be even more powerful." Lin Rufa explained.
Yi Xifeng suddenly realized after listening to Lin Rufa's explanation. At that time, he was still curious as to why Zhao Long's two knives could be used again after being broken into pieces. This made Yi Xifeng, who also suffered serious damage to his weapons, jealous for a long time.
"It's a pity that you are not a water-based internal energy technique, and mercury magnetic crystals are not suitable for you." Lin Rufa guessed Yi Xifeng's thoughts when he saw Yi Xifeng's flushed face and denied it.
"So, this time I want to use the fire attribute of hematite and the ice attribute of ice iron stone, plus this zeolite to reconcile yin and yang. To forge a sword that suits me." Yi Xifeng said sincerely.
Lin Rufa pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Your idea is very good, and there is no big problem with your thinking. Unfortunately, it is actually very difficult to succeed."
Yi Xifeng felt different and asked: "Why?"
Lin Rufa replied: "The essence of weapon refining is to learn from each other's strengths and offset weaknesses. This is true, but real weapon refining cannot be achieved by patting one's head on the head. We must use various materials and abandon their original characteristics to forge what we want. , it’s very difficult to succeed.”
"Abandoning the original characteristics?" Yi Xifeng asked doubtfully.
"Hematite is of the fire attribute, and it and the ice iron stone of the ice attribute have mutually restraining properties. If the two raw materials are melted into a sword, it will be broken in the furnace before the sword comes out of the furnace." Lin Rufa explained softly. road. "Even if zeolite is mixed with it, it will be difficult to condense the forged weapon. There may even be a situation where a sword has hematite at the tip, zeolite in the middle of the blade, and ice iron stone at the end. If you want to make this The fusion of things that exclude requires a cohesive force, which is not something we can give humanly.”
Yi Xifeng asked with some frustration: "Then there's nothing we can do?"
Lin Rufa closed his eyes and thought for a long time: "As far as I know, there are only a few weapon-refining materials that can solve this problem. Unfortunately, they are not accessible to you now. But..."
When Yi Xifeng heard Lin Rufa's words, he was about to give up. When he heard him say "no," he immediately said, "no more than what?"
Lin Rufa laughed at himself and said: "It's not impossible. We still don't know what the characteristics of this piece of meteorite are. Did you say that you also found this piece of meteorite in Hantan?"
Yi Xifeng nodded in response and recounted the situation to Lin Rufa.
Lin Rufa's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened. Finally, he laughed loudly and said: "Haha, kid, I just told you that the essence of weapon refining is to learn from each other's strengths and offset weaknesses. In fact, there are four more words behind it!"
Seeing the change in Lin Rufa's expression, Yi Xifeng knew that there was still room for improvement. He felt relieved and asked, "What is it?"
"Create Yin and Yang!"
