38. Chapter 38 Phoenix Wing Gold Plated Boring

"Phoenix wings painted with gold!" -- This is the weapon Xiao Yi decided to build after a night of careful consideration.

The phoenix-winged gold-plated boring is nine feet long. In the head of the boring there is a sharp-edged spear point more than two feet long, which is called "Zhengfeng". The dense part has the tip of the teeth, and nine phoenix-shaped patterns are engraved on the handle, which is not only beautiful, but also prevents slipping and falling out of the hand during battle. The penetrating power is extremely strong, and the whole body is gold-plated on the outside. The total weight of the whole weapon is ninety-nine and 81 kilograms.

This is Xiao Yi's design based on his own martial arts skills, as well as his height, strength, and speed, and then referring to the second warrior in the world, "General Tianbao" - Yuwen Chengdu's weapon design. Of course, it is impossible to compare with the weapon in terms of weight In the novel, people are all flesh and blood after all!

With a weight of 81 catties, it is definitely among the best in the weapon spectrum of generals in the Three Kingdoms era. You must know that the Qinglong Yanyue Knife weighed 82 catties. The pair of iron halberds only weighed eighty catties. In fact, in terms of strength, there are many people who can lift hundreds of catties. Lifting heavy objects of hundreds of catties with explosive force, and rotating weapons of hundreds of catties on the battlefield, fighting for several hours in a row are two different concepts.

This boring can be stabbed, chopped, hooked, smashed, and blocked. The triangular penetrating armor cone at the tail is even more difficult to defend against. It can be used no matter whether it is immediately stepped on or off. It can be described as a combination of attack and defense. weapon.

After the design was completed, the size was carefully calculated, and the figure was drawn in detail with pen and ink. The next morning, Xiao Yi went directly to the Niu's blacksmith shop.

When the blacksmith Niu Hong saw the design drawings, he was born in a forging family and immediately saw the extraordinaryness of this weapon, and said that he would do his best to make it well. With such a good design blueprint, this weapon may be the pinnacle of his forging career.You must know that many blacksmiths may not be able to create a good weapon that can be handed down in their entire life. Materials, ideas, and people who use it are all indispensable; fortunately, he has all three of them now.

After several days of quiet preparation, I asked the veteran 'Chuchenzi' to count Huang Daoji's birthday. Today is the day when the weapons will start to be crafted.

The small blacksmith shop with only Niu Hong, his father and his son at the beginning is no longer what it used to be. Well, the business is booming, and the announcement has spread far and wide. Now it has become the two pillar industries of Crouching Tiger Pavilion together with 'Wuyou Liquor'. There are a large number of customers coming to the door every day. Even if you work day and night, you can't meet the demand for orders. Blacksmith Niu Considerations for further expansion have already begun.

When the sun rises in the east and the purple air in the sky rises, the forging begins. First, blacksmith Niu leads his apprentices to sacrifice to the god of fire, Gonggong. In the rough and primitive sacrificial dance, the melodious singing spreads...

"The flint is the mother, the sickle is the father,

The life of the elm, the benevolent Vulcan.

Serve a cup full of fine wine, and offer a sumptuous sacrifice.

Pray for the prosperity of the human population, and the prosperity of the five animals...

…………………………”

Immediately, blacksmith Niu lit the fire with his own hands with a pious expression on his face, and the forging began. A large amount of high-quality silver frost carbon began to burn blazingly, but without the slightest smoke. The foundry will not be affected by the smog on the vision, the details determine success or failure, and the casting of magical weapons must not be sloppy at all.In order to increase the temperature of the flame, four large bellows were specially installed this time. Eight strong men shouted and operated at the same time. Under the strong blast, the color of the flame quickly changed from red to blue, and finally turned into pure blue. ...

Thousands of years of deep-sea cold iron is indestructible and extremely hard. It must be melted at extremely high temperatures, so the best fuel and the largest wind power are used...

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"...

With one sound, there was a rhythmic sound of striking iron, and the sound spread all over the field. In the flying flames, Niu Hong, Daniu, and Ma Liu three people took turns to hit the cold iron with all their strength. When he lacked strength, he changed people immediately. In the end, even Xiao Yi was shirtless, sweating profusely with the rotating sledgehammer to join in the forging...

an hour...

two hours...

three hours...

……

After a day and a night of forging for twelve hours, when the dawn came again, the embryo of the phoenix-winged gold-plated jade was finally produced.Looking at the slowly formed weapons, Blacksmith Niu shook his exhausted spirit and said solemnly: "When a magic weapon is born, it must be sacrificed in blood!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled out a sharp dagger and cut his arm with a look of obsession with forging. A large amount of blood gushed out and flowed onto the newly formed weapon embryo...

Seeing this, the cobbler at the side pulled out his dagger with a gloomy face, cut his arm, and another stream of blood flowed down...

Xiao Yi, who had been wholeheartedly waiting for the weapon to be released, pulled out the dagger without hesitation, and cut his arm deeply, causing three streams of blood to flow together...

The ancients were deeply obsessed with forging, and believed that blood must be sacrificed in order to be blessed by the gods. Therefore, the use of blood to sacrifice weapons has a long history. In order to forge a pair of Wu hooks, the master killed the two sons and smeared them with blood to seek the protection of the gods.

Putting aside the mythology, there is actually a certain scientific truth in it. The sharpest metal in the world is not pure steel, but an alloy, which cannot be forged with the technology and knowledge of the ancients; it just so happens that in the blood of the human body Contains a variety of rare metal trace elements, so using blood to sacrificial weapons is the most primitive alloy technology, and the weapons created are naturally sharper.

"Niu Hong is obsessed with forging, the cobbler is angry because of the deep hatred in the sea of ​​blood, Xiao Yi is greedy to obtain the magic weapon, the three bloods of greed, hatred and ignorance are combined into one, this weapon will definitely be full of human blood in the future, and it is extremely fierce!" Chu Chen beside him Zi Laodao said softly: "I hope you can retain a trace of clarity in the midst of all kinds of killings!".

Then began to recite the Taoist Mantra of Purifying the Heart in a low voice, "If the heart is as clear as ice, the sky will not be shocked, everything will change, and the spirit will be peaceful...

Finally, when the rising sun shines on the earth again, the weapon is born, and the nine golden phoenix patterns on the phoenix wings seem to dance under the sunshine-nine phoenixes facing the sun, the magic weapon is great!

The whole body of the phoenix-winged gold-plated boring strangely presents a light purple color, the cold light on the boring blade is shining, and the two eyes are eye-catching. It seems that it is eager to eat blood as soon as it is born. This is indeed a knife for killing. The birth of a weapon!

Everyone cheered for creating such a magical weapon. Blacksmith Niu was crying while touching the simple and weird pattern on his body. This was the pinnacle of his casting career, and Xiao Yi was even more delighted. I couldn't put it down, and I couldn't wait to dance in the courtyard. Every trace and every inch of this phoenix wing was tailor-made for him. The fit between the man and the weapon is extremely perfect, as if it is a part of his body. ...

A total of 81 catties of cold iron from the deep sea of ​​thousands of years, 16 catties were used to make the phoenix-winged gold-plated boring. The rest Xiao Yi plans to build a meteor hammer, weighing [-] catties, with spikes all over the hammer body, and a thin iron chain three feet long at the back , hidden in the buckskin bag, this is the hidden weapon for turning defeat into victory at critical moments on the battlefield in the future.

The remaining Xiao Yi is going to use it to create a batch of special arrows. A strong bow needs to be paired with sharp arrows to exert its greatest power. Among them:

There are 16 spike arrows, which are the most popular sharp arrows in the present age. The arrow clusters are pointed like spikes, extremely sharp, surprisingly lethal, and have a long enough range.

2 swallowtail arrows, the arrowheads are shaped like swallowtails, with sharp edges on the inside, specially used for shooting ropes.

There are 3 canine-toothed barb arrows with barbed teeth all over them. This is inspired by the movie "New Dragon Inn" in the previous life. Sometimes on the battlefield, it is more useful to injure the enemy than to kill it.

The last three are triangular penetrating armor cones, imitating the appearance of triangular army thorns in later generations, with deep blood grooves carved on three sides. They are definitely deadly arrows on the battlefield, but because they are too sharp, they will hurt Tianhe. In addition, the arrows are too heavy, which will affect the rate of fire, so only 3 are built, and they will never be used unless it is a last resort.

When everyone was amazed by Xiao Yi's genius idea, only the cobbler who had been silent all this time said in an almost imperceptible voice: "Only a grand killing is the real blood sacrifice to the weapon..."

39. Chapter 39 Practicing boring in the river

After setting up a sumptuous banquet in Wushouju to celebrate the birth of the divine weapon, Xiao Yi started his own training plan. From the moment the phoenix-winged gold-plated boring was born, he held it twelve hours a day all the time. , eat, sleep, even when taking a medicinal bath every night, don’t let go, if you want to unite as a soldier, you must use your own body temperature to warm it up slowly, and use your own underwear to feel it a little bit, Xiao Yi Believe that weapons are alive!

A weapon itself is originally soulless, but as the user puts a lot of emotion and sweat into it, it will gradually develop spirituality. This may be explained as the stimulation of the warrior's own potential, or It is a kind of hypnosis for myself; believe in the power of the weapon in my hand, and believe that as long as the weapon is in hand, I will be invincible in the world.

From that day on, such a scene appeared by the Panlong River. A young man in black was holding a golden phoenix wing in one hand, and stood motionless in the breeze with his eyes closed, feeling the weight of his body in the breeze with his heart. This is the training of warriors' sensitivity to weapons. Every change in the weight of a weapon must be felt, even if a leaf falls on it; When colliding with enemy weapons on the battlefield, you can immediately make the most accurate judgment, and then launch the most fierce attack.

In a sense, a weapon is an extension of a human arm, and when used to the subtle point, it is even more flexible than one's own arm.

In addition to training sensitivity, sometimes Xiao Yi would also dive into the Panlong River to use the fast-flowing water to train his own strength. The 81-jin gold-plated phoenix wing was washed by the river, and it would immediately weigh more than a thousand catties when dancing. It is the season when the river water is soaring in summer. Whenever the upper river rushes in, the water waves hit the rocks on both sides of the bank, making a roaring sound, as if thousands of troops are coming...

The surface of the Panlong River is relatively calm, but the water is undercurrents and turbulent. Every time Xiao Yi sucks in enough air, sinks to the bottom, and stands on the soft river bed with both feet, resisting the overwhelming force and the overwhelming force. There are undercurrents and eddies in the water; moreover, the river will carry some branches, sand, and gravels from the upstream, hidden in the turbulent water, making it impossible to guard against. It is Xiao Yi who has been besieged by wolves in such a world. In front of Wei, his face couldn't help but change color.The seemingly soft and harmless running water has such a terrifying side.

Such a situation reminded him of a passage in the Tao Te Ching taught to him by the old Taoist "Chuchenzi";

"The highest goodness is like water. Water is good for all things and does not fight for it. It is hated by everyone, so it is almost the same as Tao. It lives in a good place; it has a good heart, and good benevolence. Nothing."

If the above sentence expresses the essence of water, then the next sentence is the definition of water.

"There is nothing in the world that is softer and weaker than water, but there is nothing that can attack and be strong. Nothing can win, because nothing can change it..."

The weakest in the world is water, and the strongest in the world is also water!

And it can be switched between strength and weakness...

Practicing so repeatedly every day, in just a few months, Xiao Yi felt that his strength had improved by leaps and bounds. When the phoenix wings were gilded and swayed, there was a faint hint of the momentum of a thousand horses and thousands of troops, and the vibration produced by the weapon The swirl of undercurrents is even more difficult to guard against; such high-intensity training every day, even his perverted body that has been tempered by thunder and soaked in medicinal baths will not be able to bear it. Whenever he is exhausted, he will Climb to the river bank to rest...

And when he was resting, the 'queen' in red would come running...

Since Xiao Yi came back, almost every time he went to practice martial arts by the river, he would run into a little girl in red clothes, and he couldn't avoid it, because every time the little girl appeared, 'Cabbage' would rush over to eat the food she brought. The radish, accepts the tickling service, while Xiao Yi and 'Cabbage' are inseparable.

So there is a common saying left by later generations: "You can run away from Xiao Yi, but you can't run away from 'cabbage'..."

It's strange to say that 'Cabbage' never eats anything given by others except Xiao Yi's food, even the old Taoist 'Chuchenzi' is no exception, but for this little girl, he not only eats what she brings. Food, and happy, and even let the little girl ride on the back, run a few laps...
