technical type

Ji Mo has no idea what other people are thinking. His purpose is very clear, which is to learn swordsmithing, study hard, become a swordsmith in the future, and pass the exam by casting a famous sword. It is very simple.

It’s like when he used to go to school, he never thought about why he should study this or that. Instead, he would learn what the teacher taught him, and he would learn what the curriculum arranged. If he was interested, he might do some extended reading in private. Yes, more but will not think about it.

Of course, this kind of concentration also seems stupid and inflexible, but he did rely on this kind of concentration to get to the gate of higher education with excellent results all the way. This is considered a success. Since he succeeded, there is nothing to change.

At least Ji Mo himself couldn't think of anything that needed to be changed, so he continued to devote himself to his studies without distraction. After listening to Master Kong's healing course, he started the next detail that was not above the process-quenching and tempering.

"The polishing of the sword body is considered to have been completed at this step. The next step is quenching. This process is very important. Whether the sword edge is sharp and hard depends on the quenching technique."

Master Kong said that he threw the repaired sword body into the fire, this time it was not through the shaft furnace, but an ordinary fire, with Baishi blowing the wind beside him, and his black skin had an iron-like glow against the flames. Glossy, the sweat on the forehead trickled down the brows, and he didn't care to wipe it off, blinked, and continued to blow the wind vigorously.

It is necessary to adjust the strength from time to time to keep the temperature of the fire constant within a certain range. This is a job that relies heavily on eyesight and senses. You can't put your hand in to feel it, it's all based on feeling and experience, and your eyesight may be a little bit useful.

Master Kong talked a lot about this aspect, and said earnestly: "When casting a sword, although you don't need to blow the wind, you have to judge whether the heat is enough, and make a decision in an instant. It will cause cracks, and all previous efforts will be wasted..."

When he said these words, Master Kong was still beating with a hammer, and the jingling sound had a certain sense of rhythm. Ji Mo, who was with him, was already sweating profusely. To maintain a high enough temperature, there is no ventilation, and the temperature of the stove heats up, and standing aside is already sweating profusely.

He wiped his sweat with his sleeves completely disregarding his decency, and didn't know when the ash stained on his sleeves rubbed against his face. The repeated beating gradually changed, which is strange to say. At first it looked very rough and not bright. With repeated sharpening and forging, the unique light of metal gradually appeared. It seemed that a layer of fog had faded away, revealing the real look.

It was burnt red in the fire, then submerged in the water to temper it. Amidst the crackling sound, the flames dimmed and the water mist rose. Master Kong's beard looked much more amiable in the mist.

"Water is also very important. The water here is very good."

Master Kong has never been a picky person. On the first day when he explained to Ji Mo in this sword casting room, when he talked about the things he needed, he looked at all these furnishings. Everything that can be seen can be seen. Said it was good.

I dare not say the best, because some things will not taste the same when they are away from the original place, just like the water used by Ji Jiajian for quenching is "ground water". He has never been to the place where ground water is abundant, but I heard that it is like a fairy cave, and it is not an exaggeration to call this kind of water "immortal water". The Ji family is modest and dare not call it "immortal". Because the water comes from the ground, they call it "earth water".

When the Ji family was seeking advice, he also used that kind of water to cast a sword, and it was really extraordinary, but the same water, after being far away from there, it is difficult to have the same effect, which also makes Master Kong feel regretful, With his skills, if he can have the icing on the cake, the name of the famous sword, it will definitely be even better.

Pity.

Looking at the water in the tank, Master Kong knew that the water was good. He forged his own swords, and that was the kind of water. Liu's carefulness to this point made people feel a lot of emotion.

He was distracted for a moment, and Ji Mo hurriedly called out twice: "Master, has it been a long time?"

"Well, kind of."

Originally, it was to demonstrate the whole process to Ji Mo to forge swords. It is rare for Master Kong, a great swordsmith, to be less attentive. Fortunately, he does not lack technical experience, but it has been a long time. You can also use the other method to make up for it.

But when he was explaining to Ji Mo, he did not hesitate to talk about his mistakes, so that Ji Momo wanted to learn from him, and deliberately showed his subsequent remedial skills in this way.

"I know, no."

Ji Mo agreed with a smile, very sensible, he would not do such troublesome things, rather than repairing it afterward, it is better to form it at once.

Oh, for casting a sword, it should take a lot of tempering before it takes shape.

Master Kong didn't get distracted this time. He just glanced at Ji Mo and continued to move his hands. His strength is enough. Every time he hammered down, he seemed to be able to smash out sparks. After the tempering was completed, this hammer Even if the sword is basically cast, it should be said that the main body is completed, and the rest needs to be added with a hand guard and handle, and then a scabbard, which is considered complete.

Those are all accessories, they are secondary, the main thing is the sword body, after wiping, there is a bright light on the body of the sword, which is dazzling and dazzling.

"Master, is this sword also a famous sword? What's its name?"

Ji Mo's heart itched to see it, but he knew that he couldn't hold such a heavy sword, so he didn't stretch out his hand indiscriminately, and just looked up from the side, his eyes looking forward.

"Even if you are a great swordsmith, not every sword you forge is a famous sword." Master Kong smiled to himself, looked at Ji Mo and said, "This sword can be called 'Jimo'."

"Hey, will you name it after me?" Ji Mo was surprised, this epee is not worthy of his small body at all!This sword is as tall as him, he can't even walk away with it!

"Since it is for teaching you, it will be up to you to decide in the future. After all the work is completed, it will be given to you."

As Master Kong said, he turned around and went to the desk. Baishi added water and rubbed the ink quickly with a wink. Just write the word "Jimo" on the yellowed paper.

Ji Mo watched from the side, suddenly, it was "Jimo", what does it mean?

cater?Attached?

"Thank you, master, for giving me the sword."

Whether you can afford it or not is another story, this gift is really not light.

Because the sword was not yet finished, Master Kong didn't let Ji Mo take it back today, and moved it back and forth. There was also a place for display in the sword casting room, and it was left there for the time being, waiting for the corresponding accessories to be completed tomorrow.

After dinner in the evening, Ji Mo and Aunt Ji talked about this matter, and said with a smile: "It would be great if Master Kong could give me a Wenjian. Such a martial sword is really difficult to wield."

By the time I can swing it, I am afraid I will be in my teens. I still hope that I am tall enough, otherwise I will be no different from a magic wand, unable to move.

His slightly distressed appearance made Aunt Ji laugh, and said softly: "This is also what I expect from you. Since you want to forge swords, if you can't even swing a sword, how can you swing a hammer?" Woolen cloth?"

This is true.Ji Mo nodded slightly, looking at his slender wrists, he can't neglect to exercise in the future, at least he needs to gain some strength.

Aunt Ji obviously thought of this too, and told Ji Mo that he should not be picky eaters in the future, eat more meat, and only by eating meat can he gain strength.

Regardless of whether the conclusion is scientific or not, there is always a heart of love. Ji Mo did not argue, and agreed one by one. After talking for a while, he promised that if the sword was ready tomorrow, he would bring it back and show it to Aunt Ji, and let Aunt Ji see it too. Aunt Ji also nodded in response to Master Kong's craftsmanship.

Seeing Ji Mo go back to his room to rest, the slight smile on Aunt Ji's face was gone, her brows were slightly frowned, Wu Jian?Jimo?

What does Kong Liang mean?Let Ji Mo learn martial arts and turn into a military commander, or should he say—the embers of a candle are as black as ink, what will happen to Mo in the near future?

The surname Ji, that is, the surname, has the same pronunciation and different surnames...

Sitting at the table, Aunt Ji didn't move for a long time, thinking about the meaning revealed by the name, Kong Liang was asking her what Liu's intentions are?How about after asking Ji Mo?How should she answer?Even she herself couldn't see what would happen in the future.

What can Ji Mo, the only blood of the Ji family, do?

Unknowingly, the sky was getting dawn, and Aunt Ji turned to her room to rest, and of course missed breakfast that day.

When Ji Mo went out, he knew from the maid that Aunt Ji had slept late, and he was worried for a while, so he didn't want to disturb her, so he left a message saying that he would have dinner together when he came back at noon, so he took the maid and left.

There is plenty of time at noon, and you can run back and forth, but it is only enough for a meal. During the meal, seeing Aunt Ji's expression is still good, and there is no other discomfort when asking, Ji Mo is relieved, and hurriedly went to forge the sword again to the room.

Master Kong didn’t set a time for Ji Mo to study, but the first day seemed to be set, and he followed the time of the first day. Ji Mo almost missed the time in a hurry. Seeing that he was panting, Master Kong smiled. He asked, "Where did you go so stubbornly? You ran so fast."

"I didn't play. I went back to see my aunt. She didn't have breakfast. I was worried if I was feeling unwell, so I hurried back to check. Fortunately, nothing happened."

Ji Mo's face is still full of rejoicing, even if he is not an ancient man, he is still afraid of the doctor's medical skills, and it's hard to say whether his level is high or low.He patted his chest to comfort himself, and Bai Shi at the side was smart, and before the maid, he had already found a teacup, poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it to Ji Mo.

Ji Mo has been served all his life since he was a child. He didn't think there was anything wrong, so he picked it up. After drinking, he saw Baishi's fawning smile. Then he remembered that he hadn't paid attention to Baishi's food and clothing here these days. Seeing that he was still wearing the clothes of that day, he always felt that his master had neglected his duty.

Strictly speaking, the white stone was the first gift Master Kong gave.

He looked hesitant here, didn't notice the slight change in Master Kong's eyes, don't hurry up, don't be impatient, and laughed in a flash: "It's fine, come on, you can try today's small piece."
