Chapter 232 Heart Falling into the Red Dust
The Ao family members are domineering, Ao Ye is like this, and so is his father Ao Lie.Back then when Ao Lie had just taken over the Aodao Villa, Gongyang Taiyi, a countryman, rose rapidly like a dawn star. His talent and age made his father, who had always been under the glory of his grandfather, a little bit of pressure.
However, his Ao family is not a family that suppresses casual people at will, and the treatment of Gongyang Taiyi is just an honest comment on his skills and works.
It's just that a person like Gongyang Taiyi is really narrow-minded, he doesn't want to make progress when he hears bad comments, but he has to hate him.So what about bearing grudges, Ao Lie didn't care about Ao Lie's fear of the Ao Dao Villa.
But Ao Ye was able to know this old story because Ao Lie told Ao Ye about it as an educational example.However, Ao Lie thought he was educating his son to behave more generously and not to lose his temper for those savages, but what Ao Ye got and learned from it was another matter.
Hearing the people downstairs continue to say that the ram was too easy to retreat for a long time, and finally achieved a great casting technique, which is by no means comparable to ordinary forging techniques, the fire in Ao Ye's heart rose.
However, Miss Leng Ruomei said expectantly from the side: "I never thought that the world's forging skills are so extensive. It would be great if I could meet this master."
Ao Ye's affection for Tai Yi, the ram, has completely turned into a negative number that will never return to positive.
And at this time, the quack who admired Gongyang Taiyi very much said: "Recently, Master Gongyang is coming to look for good forging materials nearby. I'm so happy that it's too late. Brother, you won't slap yourself in the face in the end, will you?"
"Hahaha, I'm a swordsman, and what I want most is the sword from Proud Sword Villa, but there's nothing like your ram and ewe."
The noise gradually came to an end, but Ao Ye was quite angry in his heart. Hearing that the ram seemed to be haunting nearby, he gradually had an idea in his mind.
Of course, he will not lower his status and challenge Ram Taiyi rashly, but this does not mean that he will not do things that kill two birds with one stone.
Ao Dao Villa is proud of the art of forging swords, and in order to expand the influence of the martial arts and secure its reputation as the number one family of forging arts, Ao Lie has always wanted to hold a famous sword conference, not only inviting swordsmen from all martial arts Come to taste famous knives, and I would like to invite everyone in the world to exchange forging techniques.
However, Ao Lie is getting old, and he has always wanted to pick a good time to hand over this matter to his son Ao Ye, so as to accumulate some reputation for Ao Ye, so that he can take over Aodao Villa smoothly in the future, lest his son be like himself in the past Like everyone, he worked hard to make contacts in the arena and make a name for himself, so he didn't lose the reputation of Ao Dao Villa.
Ao Ye knew his father's plan, but now, he felt that the time had come.If they don't do something else, I'm afraid that all cats and dogs will ride on the head of their Ao Dao Villa.
What's more, Ao Ye glanced at Miss Leng who was sitting beside her quietly drinking tea, he really wanted to make Miss Leng happy.
Miss Leng is obsessed with the art of forging, and it is difficult to impress her without forging. This made Ao Ye work harder when learning forging from her father recently. Now, holding a famous knife competition will let her beloved woman understand that he, Ao Ye He is the person with the strongest forging skills in the world, and it couldn't be better.
"Miss Ruomei, do you want to participate in a grand event?" Ao Ye asked gracefully.
There was no change in Leng Ruomei's expression, but Ao Ye could tell from the pair of eyes that were as clear as autumn waters that Miss Ruomei's heart was moved.
"Young master, what kind of event is it?" Leng Ruomei asked calmly after taking a sip of tea.
"Famous Knife Conference." Ao Ye said the idea: "At that time, not only famous knives from all sides will participate in the tasting, but also casting masters will participate in the exchange."
Leng Ruomei put down her cup, and asked softly, "My lord, do you want to hold such a grand event yourself? You really have a broad mind. Those casting masters in the Jianghu are all self-sufficient, but they have never considered for the inheritance of forging. The young master has a big goal, and the little girl thanked you in advance."
When Ao Ye heard this, although he knew his original intention, but the beauties praised you so much, so he couldn't deny it.
So he accepted Leng Ruomei's thanks very calmly, and felt that his decision was not wrong, and he had already attracted the favor of the beauty before it was held.
So the two started a heated discussion on this imaginary conference, taking almost all aspects into consideration, such as the process, themes, opening remarks, invitation list, etc. Leng Ruomei didn't understand some things, so after hearing Ao Ye's nonsense, From time to time, he showed a softened expression, which made Aoye work harder.
At this moment, even if Ao Lie objected to Ao Ye holding this grand event, Ao Ye would not be obedient, he must want to achieve his goal.What's more, Ao Lie never objected.
When Ao Ye returned home, he started discussing with his father. Countless postings were sent to various places by the servants or guests of the village, and countless sword-loving Jianghu people came from all directions to participate in the grand event.
And in an inn outside Aodao Villa, You Hongyin watched the servants coming and going in and out of Aodao Villa, drank a glass of wine, and said, "Taiyi, how are you preparing? Half a month later, the Famous Sword Conference It’s about to start, but we need to practice first, how to play the gymnasium?”
Gongyang Taiyi has only been with You Hongyin for four months, but he already knows him very well. Hearing this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Don't worry about it, what do you need to practice for such a showy thing? But you, So far, it seems that they have never told me why they have to make trouble with Ao Dao Villa."
"Is it enough to see that they are unhappy?" You Hongyin said with a smile.
Ram Taiyi didn't accept this at all: "Not enough."
You Hongyin said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I think you have heard that Aoye once said that whoever breaks the hands of an ancient swordsman will give him a famous sword."
Gongyang Taiyi looked at You Hongyin in surprise.
You Hongyin nodded: "Yes, I am Gu Xiaodao."
Gongyang Taiyi couldn't believe it: "A person like you can still be hunted down?"
During these four months, Gongyang Taiyi witnessed the progress of the swordsmanship in front of him, and he understood what kind of person this person is in the process of getting along with him in daily life. He was reduced to the point where he was hunted down by the rivers and lakes.
"It's a mediocrity not to be envied by others. A narrow-minded person like Ao Ye can do anything, so there's nothing to make a fuss about." You Hongyin poured himself another glass of wine: "However, I heard that everyone Most of the blacksmiths are alcoholics, why come to you, they don't drink at all."
Because they have been exposed to high temperatures all year round, and blacksmithing is a laborious task, most blacksmiths will use alcohol to relieve their physical fatigue. Over time, almost all of them become alcoholics.
But Ram Taiyi is a teetotaler.
"Because they are tired, I don't feel tired." Gong Yang Taiyi said confidently after taking a sip of tea.
You Hongyin laughed.
They all forget that this guy looks tall and thin, but he is actually a strong man.
"Don't let other people hear what you say, otherwise, I'm afraid they will beat you with a sack." You Hongyin said.
Gong Yang Taiyi didn't care, and even said contemptuously: "Then let them come." He is not only a blacksmith master, but also a double-hammer fighter. So famous.However, whoever has excellent talent and outstanding understanding can also practice hammering during the forging process. Even if he doesn't practice martial arts often, his martial arts are still improving day and night.
However, in the next half month, Gongyang Taiyi and You Hongyin kept shuttling through the wilderness.
It has been rumored that Gongyang Taiyi is looking for forging materials, but this news is not false, he and You Hongyin are indeed looking for materials nearby.
On that day, he was taught by You Hongyin the Forging Secret Code, and the forging technique has made a qualitative leap, and it can even be said that it is making great progress. Before going out, he and You Hongyin have already forged a knife together, but the The knife has not yet left the fire, and he still needs a special quenching material.
Originally, both tung oil and water were the most common quenching accessories, but this knife is too special, and the characteristics of the knife cannot be perfectly developed by using these common materials.
The last step of quenching represents the soul blow of the craftsman, and is the most mysterious and elegant step in the forging process.
For a long time, most blacksmiths felt that this process was more of a test of forging technology, and did not give too much consideration to the issue of quenching materials.In fact, after countless years, the water and oil selected are indeed the best quenching materials. However, there are differences between water and oil, and there are differences between oil and oil. Every forged product is unique. According to their own characteristics, the quenched materials also need to have different changes.
This is the secret book taught by You Hongyin, the core concept described in the quenching chapter.
So for the unfinished knife that was still lying in the furnace, Gong Yang Taiyi personally went outside to find the quenching materials he needed.
The original material of this knife came from a piece of meteorite iron, and the iron block was extracted from the meteorite iron. After a long period of folding and forging, the impurities in the iron block had already been removed, and later it was mixed with this piece of meteorite iron. Strict proportions of other metals, and finally after countless processes, this knife is produced.
Because the main material is still iron, the best quenching material is water, but what this extraordinary knife needs is not ordinary water.
You Hongyin pushed aside the thick vegetation and wandered through the lush jungle.
The soil of this jungle is black soil, and the area is colder. In addition, the terrain of the nearby mountains is higher than this area. This area happens to be at the lowest point. It is only this terrain that will have a chance of appearing Knife 'required quenching water products.
He and Gongyang Taiyi searched separately, and found three water sources before, but they were not the ideal ones.
The two can only continue to search.
"Huh? I smell the smell of water." You Hongyin stopped, carefully discerned the direction, and walked slowly following the traces.
There is no road in the dense forest, You Hongyin lifted his breath very simply, stepped on the shrubs and branches along the way and swayed upwards, then passed through the vines in the air, and slipped through the gaps in the dense forest, his white clothes fluttering.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
It is a small hanging waterfall among the rocks. The spring water comes from the infiltration of the rocks, gurgling and flowing, and under the waterfall is a strange rock. Under the impact of the flowing water, the rock becomes as smooth as jade, forming a special scenery.
Under the smooth rocks, there is a pool of clear water. The water flows into the pool continuously, but the water in the pool has always been kept at the same level as the ground, and will not overflow.
It can be seen that although the pool is small, there is another mystery at the bottom of the pool.
You Hongyin looked at the terrain and water, his eyes lit up, and he finally found it.
This water seems to be the same as ordinary water. In fact, it originally flowed from the ground and was soaked in the dark air of the ground. However, after being filtered by the sand and stones of the mountain, the cold air in it has dissipated, and there are water channels and underground water at the bottom of the pool. The source is connected, thus forming a cycle.
The cycle goes round and round, making the water extremely pure but always carrying a trace of underground ghostly atmosphere.
If the Youze Knife is successfully forged, it will have a pitch-black blade with a cold texture, and even in a humid environment, water vapor will condense on the surface of the knife, hence the name 'Youze'.
The quenching material this knife needs is this kind of living water that has a hint of ghostly air, but is pure and abnormal, full of spiritual energy, and flows continuously day and night.
You Hongyin let out a long roar, indicating that he had found it, and soon, the ram Taiyi who was not far away flew over using lightness kung fu, he fixed his eyes on the small waterfall, paused for a while, and said with a smile: " We can witness the birth of Youze Dao."
You Hongyin said: "Isn't this inevitable, don't be so excited."
It's a pity that Gongyang Taiyi's mind is full of Youze Knife now, and he can't listen to it at all. He even started talking nonsense: "Youze Knife can definitely be regarded as a divine weapon. Blood sacrifices, living sacrifices, etc. are also required, do you think Youze Knife will also need this kind of ceremony."
You Hongyin looked at the chaotic people in front of him very speechlessly, and finally took out the water bag he brought to get water, and while getting water, he said to Gong Yang Taiyi who was still thinking about something: "We don't have much time. , you don’t have to think about any strange things, they don’t exist.”
"Isn't it okay to think about it? Who said that it must not exist, otherwise, how did the stories of the artifacts that have been handed down come from?" Gongyang Taiyi picked up several large bamboo tubes that he brought with him, and filled them with water. water.
The difference in the water container will also have a certain impact on the final water quality, so there are two kinds of irrigation containers, the skin bag and the bamboo tube.
"Because," You Hongyin glanced at him, and said, "Because of the lack of spiritual energy in the world, there is no possibility of the birth of divine weapons in the world, not to mention, do you think that what you have come into contact with now is the pinnacle of forging skills?" , one peak is higher than another, and the road to climb is endless. Just like martial arts, even if you are invincible in the world, even if you are number one in the rivers and lakes, it does not mean that the road has come to an end."
Ram Taiyi smiled and said: "I understand, so don't worry, I won't really get carried away."
You Hongyin said: "Ha, when I first met you, I thought you were a proud and serious person, but now I see, hey."
Gong Yang was too easy to see him teasing, and immediately refused to be outdone: "At first, you thought you were a person with a high sense of justice and a mellow mind, but now it seems that it is just the opposite."
The two looked at each other, and finally laughed together.
Jingzhe, spring.
Ao Dao Villa is quite lively today, people come and go, there are friends and companions, people from the rivers and lakes with swords, there are also foundry masters who lead apprentices, fellow disciples, guards, etc., most of them come with their own works. Come.
This kind of famous knife conference is not only an opportunity for Proud Sword Villa to show its strength and increase its reputation, but also a platform for other Jianghu people or casting masters to become famous.
After working for half a month, Ao Ye looked very proudly at the full house, with a new look, and the whole person seemed complacent and refreshed.
The venue of the meeting was arranged at the Daotai, which was originally the martial arts training ground of Aodao Mountain Villa. After a certain degree of repair and reconstruction, it became a square that can accommodate many people.
And in the center of the martial arts arena, a knives exhibition arena was built. To put it bluntly, it was the arena for martial arts competitions.
The main reason for people from the Jianghu to participate in this grand event is to get the knives of Aodao Mountain Villa, but every knife in Aodao Mountain Villa has been carefully forged, and it is by no means comparable to the unsophisticated ironware on the market. Such a treasure It is natural to choose the master.
This is what the arena is for.
Ao Ye glanced at Leng Ruomei who was quietly standing among the crowd, took a deep breath, stood on the ring and began to give an opening speech.
He began to fantasize that after the conference was over, the reputation of Ao Dao Villa would rise to a higher level, Miss Leng would definitely look forward to it, and he would be able to do more things.
But not long after the opening remarks, the martial arts people who came here for the sword began to boo: "We are here to see the sword, the sword of Aodao Mountain Villa, the sword."
Ao Ye recited the opening speech for a long time, but was interrupted, and anger inevitably appeared on his face.But how to deal with this kind of thing, he didn't have such experience in the past.
For a moment, Ao Ye frowned.
Ao Lie sighed, stood up, and began to take over his son's words: "Since the theme of this Famous Knife Conference is knives, the protagonist is naturally knives. Don't worry, since Ao Dao Villa has the confidence to hold this event, There will be no problems by yourself. Come on, bring up the three knives 'Yinxue', 'Quickxue' and 'Piaoxue'."
Ao Lie saw that the servant had moved the knives to the table, and said emotionally: "These three knives are from the same mother, and the materials used are all from the same piece of iron ore, so these three knives are named after Xue. Sanxue Let it be regarded as the work of Ao Dao Shan Zhuo throwing bricks and attracting jade."
Faced with such three knives, the blacksmiths first observed and tasted them closely. Basically, this kind of horizontal knife has already known the blacksmiths who brought their works, and they will no longer think about how to publicize their reputation. , but to recall more about what is wrong with my own technology, and whether I am qualified to take out the work under this situation.If the works that are too bad are brought out, it is just to humiliate oneself. When the time comes, fame will not become evil, but it will be laughed at generously.
After everyone's observation is over, the knife measurement stage begins.After all, there is still some gap between the actual situation and the observed situation. No matter how good it looks, if it doesn't work, it won't work.
Soon, two Jianghu people who used knives jumped onto the ring, and each chose one of them. After getting acquainted with each other for a while, the two sides launched an offensive to test the performance of the knives in various aspects.
Soon, everyone at the scene was able to judge how good these three knives were, and the crowd immediately became excited.
Ao Ye looked at the eyes of those people off the field, and felt a sense of control over everything in his heart. After being sought after by people for so long, he was used to this feeling, but at this moment, it became very clear.
wonderful.
At this time, some blacksmiths who were more confident in their own works took out their own
But after glancing at Miss Leng among the crowd, he suddenly remembered that the original purpose seemed to be for that guy named Gongyang Taiyi.
He didn't know Gongyang Taiyi, but among the blacksmiths who reported themselves as family members, there was no one named Gongyang Taiyi.
It seems that that guy was probably scared, he couldn't produce any good works at all, so he simply didn't come to participate in order not to be ashamed.
Ao Ye quickly forgot about this person.He has always been unable to remember worthless and non-threatening people, but put all his thoughts on the conference.
But in fact, You Hongyin and Gongyang were too easy, just because the time was too urgent, so they were late.It is better to come early than to come by coincidence. When they arrived in a hurry, it happened that the last foundry had finished showing his work, and without exception, the weapons, especially the knives, made by those unattached foundries were really quite impressive. But Sanxue Dao from Ao Dao Villa.
Just when everyone was cheering, the number one in the world forging swordsmanship, a disdainful and domineering voice sounded in everyone's ears: "No. [-] in the world, I'm not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue."
Everyone looked at the person who made the sound, but they saw Gongyang Taiyi standing carelessly, holding a long wooden box in his hand, looking at the nearly twenty knives on the ring with a disdainful tone and an even more disdainful expression.
Ao Ye doesn't know Gongyang too easily, but Ao Lie does, but at this time, he can only ask "politely" with a bad face: "Mr. also has a work to bring, might as well show it out for everyone to see."
Gongyang Taiyi cut it, and took the wooden box and pestered it to the ground: "No need to talk nonsense, come today, Taiyi is kicking the hall." He said solemnly: "If you are afraid, you can beg for mercy."
However, his Ao family is not a family that suppresses casual people at will, and the treatment of Gongyang Taiyi is just an honest comment on his skills and works.
It's just that a person like Gongyang Taiyi is really narrow-minded, he doesn't want to make progress when he hears bad comments, but he has to hate him.So what about bearing grudges, Ao Lie didn't care about Ao Lie's fear of the Ao Dao Villa.
But Ao Ye was able to know this old story because Ao Lie told Ao Ye about it as an educational example.However, Ao Lie thought he was educating his son to behave more generously and not to lose his temper for those savages, but what Ao Ye got and learned from it was another matter.
Hearing the people downstairs continue to say that the ram was too easy to retreat for a long time, and finally achieved a great casting technique, which is by no means comparable to ordinary forging techniques, the fire in Ao Ye's heart rose.
However, Miss Leng Ruomei said expectantly from the side: "I never thought that the world's forging skills are so extensive. It would be great if I could meet this master."
Ao Ye's affection for Tai Yi, the ram, has completely turned into a negative number that will never return to positive.
And at this time, the quack who admired Gongyang Taiyi very much said: "Recently, Master Gongyang is coming to look for good forging materials nearby. I'm so happy that it's too late. Brother, you won't slap yourself in the face in the end, will you?"
"Hahaha, I'm a swordsman, and what I want most is the sword from Proud Sword Villa, but there's nothing like your ram and ewe."
The noise gradually came to an end, but Ao Ye was quite angry in his heart. Hearing that the ram seemed to be haunting nearby, he gradually had an idea in his mind.
Of course, he will not lower his status and challenge Ram Taiyi rashly, but this does not mean that he will not do things that kill two birds with one stone.
Ao Dao Villa is proud of the art of forging swords, and in order to expand the influence of the martial arts and secure its reputation as the number one family of forging arts, Ao Lie has always wanted to hold a famous sword conference, not only inviting swordsmen from all martial arts Come to taste famous knives, and I would like to invite everyone in the world to exchange forging techniques.
However, Ao Lie is getting old, and he has always wanted to pick a good time to hand over this matter to his son Ao Ye, so as to accumulate some reputation for Ao Ye, so that he can take over Aodao Villa smoothly in the future, lest his son be like himself in the past Like everyone, he worked hard to make contacts in the arena and make a name for himself, so he didn't lose the reputation of Ao Dao Villa.
Ao Ye knew his father's plan, but now, he felt that the time had come.If they don't do something else, I'm afraid that all cats and dogs will ride on the head of their Ao Dao Villa.
What's more, Ao Ye glanced at Miss Leng who was sitting beside her quietly drinking tea, he really wanted to make Miss Leng happy.
Miss Leng is obsessed with the art of forging, and it is difficult to impress her without forging. This made Ao Ye work harder when learning forging from her father recently. Now, holding a famous knife competition will let her beloved woman understand that he, Ao Ye He is the person with the strongest forging skills in the world, and it couldn't be better.
"Miss Ruomei, do you want to participate in a grand event?" Ao Ye asked gracefully.
There was no change in Leng Ruomei's expression, but Ao Ye could tell from the pair of eyes that were as clear as autumn waters that Miss Ruomei's heart was moved.
"Young master, what kind of event is it?" Leng Ruomei asked calmly after taking a sip of tea.
"Famous Knife Conference." Ao Ye said the idea: "At that time, not only famous knives from all sides will participate in the tasting, but also casting masters will participate in the exchange."
Leng Ruomei put down her cup, and asked softly, "My lord, do you want to hold such a grand event yourself? You really have a broad mind. Those casting masters in the Jianghu are all self-sufficient, but they have never considered for the inheritance of forging. The young master has a big goal, and the little girl thanked you in advance."
When Ao Ye heard this, although he knew his original intention, but the beauties praised you so much, so he couldn't deny it.
So he accepted Leng Ruomei's thanks very calmly, and felt that his decision was not wrong, and he had already attracted the favor of the beauty before it was held.
So the two started a heated discussion on this imaginary conference, taking almost all aspects into consideration, such as the process, themes, opening remarks, invitation list, etc. Leng Ruomei didn't understand some things, so after hearing Ao Ye's nonsense, From time to time, he showed a softened expression, which made Aoye work harder.
At this moment, even if Ao Lie objected to Ao Ye holding this grand event, Ao Ye would not be obedient, he must want to achieve his goal.What's more, Ao Lie never objected.
When Ao Ye returned home, he started discussing with his father. Countless postings were sent to various places by the servants or guests of the village, and countless sword-loving Jianghu people came from all directions to participate in the grand event.
And in an inn outside Aodao Villa, You Hongyin watched the servants coming and going in and out of Aodao Villa, drank a glass of wine, and said, "Taiyi, how are you preparing? Half a month later, the Famous Sword Conference It’s about to start, but we need to practice first, how to play the gymnasium?”
Gongyang Taiyi has only been with You Hongyin for four months, but he already knows him very well. Hearing this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Don't worry about it, what do you need to practice for such a showy thing? But you, So far, it seems that they have never told me why they have to make trouble with Ao Dao Villa."
"Is it enough to see that they are unhappy?" You Hongyin said with a smile.
Ram Taiyi didn't accept this at all: "Not enough."
You Hongyin said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I think you have heard that Aoye once said that whoever breaks the hands of an ancient swordsman will give him a famous sword."
Gongyang Taiyi looked at You Hongyin in surprise.
You Hongyin nodded: "Yes, I am Gu Xiaodao."
Gongyang Taiyi couldn't believe it: "A person like you can still be hunted down?"
During these four months, Gongyang Taiyi witnessed the progress of the swordsmanship in front of him, and he understood what kind of person this person is in the process of getting along with him in daily life. He was reduced to the point where he was hunted down by the rivers and lakes.
"It's a mediocrity not to be envied by others. A narrow-minded person like Ao Ye can do anything, so there's nothing to make a fuss about." You Hongyin poured himself another glass of wine: "However, I heard that everyone Most of the blacksmiths are alcoholics, why come to you, they don't drink at all."
Because they have been exposed to high temperatures all year round, and blacksmithing is a laborious task, most blacksmiths will use alcohol to relieve their physical fatigue. Over time, almost all of them become alcoholics.
But Ram Taiyi is a teetotaler.
"Because they are tired, I don't feel tired." Gong Yang Taiyi said confidently after taking a sip of tea.
You Hongyin laughed.
They all forget that this guy looks tall and thin, but he is actually a strong man.
"Don't let other people hear what you say, otherwise, I'm afraid they will beat you with a sack." You Hongyin said.
Gong Yang Taiyi didn't care, and even said contemptuously: "Then let them come." He is not only a blacksmith master, but also a double-hammer fighter. So famous.However, whoever has excellent talent and outstanding understanding can also practice hammering during the forging process. Even if he doesn't practice martial arts often, his martial arts are still improving day and night.
However, in the next half month, Gongyang Taiyi and You Hongyin kept shuttling through the wilderness.
It has been rumored that Gongyang Taiyi is looking for forging materials, but this news is not false, he and You Hongyin are indeed looking for materials nearby.
On that day, he was taught by You Hongyin the Forging Secret Code, and the forging technique has made a qualitative leap, and it can even be said that it is making great progress. Before going out, he and You Hongyin have already forged a knife together, but the The knife has not yet left the fire, and he still needs a special quenching material.

Because the main material is still iron, the best quenching material is water, but what this extraordinary knife needs is not ordinary water.
You Hongyin pushed aside the thick vegetation and wandered through the lush jungle.
The soil of this jungle is black soil, and the area is colder. In addition, the terrain of the nearby mountains is higher than this area. This area happens to be at the lowest point. It is only this terrain that will have a chance of appearing Knife 'required quenching water products.
He and Gongyang Taiyi searched separately, and found three water sources before, but they were not the ideal ones.
The two can only continue to search.
"Huh? I smell the smell of water." You Hongyin stopped, carefully discerned the direction, and walked slowly following the traces.
There is no road in the dense forest, You Hongyin lifted his breath very simply, stepped on the shrubs and branches along the way and swayed upwards, then passed through the vines in the air, and slipped through the gaps in the dense forest, his white clothes fluttering.

You Hongyin let out a long roar, indicating that he had found it, and soon, the ram Taiyi who was not far away flew over using lightness kung fu, he fixed his eyes on the small waterfall, paused for a while, and said with a smile: " We can witness the birth of Youze Dao."
You Hongyin said: "Isn't this inevitable, don't be so excited."
It's a pity that Gongyang Taiyi's mind is full of Youze Knife now, and he can't listen to it at all. He even started talking nonsense: "Youze Knife can definitely be regarded as a divine weapon. Blood sacrifices, living sacrifices, etc. are also required, do you think Youze Knife will also need this kind of ceremony."
You Hongyin looked at the chaotic people in front of him very speechlessly, and finally took out the water bag he brought to get water, and while getting water, he said to Gong Yang Taiyi who was still thinking about something: "We don't have much time. , you don’t have to think about any strange things, they don’t exist.”
"Isn't it okay to think about it? Who said that it must not exist, otherwise, how did the stories of the artifacts that have been handed down come from?" Gongyang Taiyi picked up several large bamboo tubes that he brought with him, and filled them with water. water.
The difference in the water container will also have a certain impact on the final water quality, so there are two kinds of irrigation containers, the skin bag and the bamboo tube.
"Because," You Hongyin glanced at him, and said, "Because of the lack of spiritual energy in the world, there is no possibility of the birth of divine weapons in the world, not to mention, do you think that what you have come into contact with now is the pinnacle of forging skills?" , one peak is higher than another, and the road to climb is endless. Just like martial arts, even if you are invincible in the world, even if you are number one in the rivers and lakes, it does not mean that the road has come to an end."
Ram Taiyi smiled and said: "I understand, so don't worry, I won't really get carried away."
You Hongyin said: "Ha, when I first met you, I thought you were a proud and serious person, but now I see, hey."
Gong Yang was too easy to see him teasing, and immediately refused to be outdone: "At first, you thought you were a person with a high sense of justice and a mellow mind, but now it seems that it is just the opposite."
The two looked at each other, and finally laughed together.
Jingzhe, spring.
Ao Dao Villa is quite lively today, people come and go, there are friends and companions, people from the rivers and lakes with swords, there are also foundry masters who lead apprentices, fellow disciples, guards, etc., most of them come with their own works. Come.
This kind of famous knife conference is not only an opportunity for Proud Sword Villa to show its strength and increase its reputation, but also a platform for other Jianghu people or casting masters to become famous.
After working for half a month, Ao Ye looked very proudly at the full house, with a new look, and the whole person seemed complacent and refreshed.
The venue of the meeting was arranged at the Daotai, which was originally the martial arts training ground of Aodao Mountain Villa. After a certain degree of repair and reconstruction, it became a square that can accommodate many people.
And in the center of the martial arts arena, a knives exhibition arena was built. To put it bluntly, it was the arena for martial arts competitions.
The main reason for people from the Jianghu to participate in this grand event is to get the knives of Aodao Mountain Villa, but every knife in Aodao Mountain Villa has been carefully forged, and it is by no means comparable to the unsophisticated ironware on the market. Such a treasure It is natural to choose the master.
This is what the arena is for.
Ao Ye glanced at Leng Ruomei who was quietly standing among the crowd, took a deep breath, stood on the ring and began to give an opening speech.
He began to fantasize that after the conference was over, the reputation of Ao Dao Villa would rise to a higher level, Miss Leng would definitely look forward to it, and he would be able to do more things.
But not long after the opening remarks, the martial arts people who came here for the sword began to boo: "We are here to see the sword, the sword of Aodao Mountain Villa, the sword."
Ao Ye recited the opening speech for a long time, but was interrupted, and anger inevitably appeared on his face.But how to deal with this kind of thing, he didn't have such experience in the past.
For a moment, Ao Ye frowned.
Ao Lie sighed, stood up, and began to take over his son's words: "Since the theme of this Famous Knife Conference is knives, the protagonist is naturally knives. Don't worry, since Ao Dao Villa has the confidence to hold this event, There will be no problems by yourself. Come on, bring up the three knives 'Yinxue', 'Quickxue' and 'Piaoxue'."
Ao Lie saw that the servant had moved the knives to the table, and said emotionally: "These three knives are from the same mother, and the materials used are all from the same piece of iron ore, so these three knives are named after Xue. Sanxue Let it be regarded as the work of Ao Dao Shan Zhuo throwing bricks and attracting jade."
Faced with such three knives, the blacksmiths first observed and tasted them closely. Basically, this kind of horizontal knife has already known the blacksmiths who brought their works, and they will no longer think about how to publicize their reputation. , but to recall more about what is wrong with my own technology, and whether I am qualified to take out the work under this situation.If the works that are too bad are brought out, it is just to humiliate oneself. When the time comes, fame will not become evil, but it will be laughed at generously.
After everyone's observation is over, the knife measurement stage begins.After all, there is still some gap between the actual situation and the observed situation. No matter how good it looks, if it doesn't work, it won't work.
Soon, two Jianghu people who used knives jumped onto the ring, and each chose one of them. After getting acquainted with each other for a while, the two sides launched an offensive to test the performance of the knives in various aspects.
Soon, everyone at the scene was able to judge how good these three knives were, and the crowd immediately became excited.
Ao Ye looked at the eyes of those people off the field, and felt a sense of control over everything in his heart. After being sought after by people for so long, he was used to this feeling, but at this moment, it became very clear.
wonderful.
At this time, some blacksmiths who were more confident in their own works took out their own
But after glancing at Miss Leng among the crowd, he suddenly remembered that the original purpose seemed to be for that guy named Gongyang Taiyi.
He didn't know Gongyang Taiyi, but among the blacksmiths who reported themselves as family members, there was no one named Gongyang Taiyi.
It seems that that guy was probably scared, he couldn't produce any good works at all, so he simply didn't come to participate in order not to be ashamed.
Ao Ye quickly forgot about this person.He has always been unable to remember worthless and non-threatening people, but put all his thoughts on the conference.
But in fact, You Hongyin and Gongyang were too easy, just because the time was too urgent, so they were late.It is better to come early than to come by coincidence. When they arrived in a hurry, it happened that the last foundry had finished showing his work, and without exception, the weapons, especially the knives, made by those unattached foundries were really quite impressive. But Sanxue Dao from Ao Dao Villa.
Just when everyone was cheering, the number one in the world forging swordsmanship, a disdainful and domineering voice sounded in everyone's ears: "No. [-] in the world, I'm not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue."
Everyone looked at the person who made the sound, but they saw Gongyang Taiyi standing carelessly, holding a long wooden box in his hand, looking at the nearly twenty knives on the ring with a disdainful tone and an even more disdainful expression.
Ao Ye doesn't know Gongyang too easily, but Ao Lie does, but at this time, he can only ask "politely" with a bad face: "Mr. also has a work to bring, might as well show it out for everyone to see."
Gongyang Taiyi cut it, and took the wooden box and pestered it to the ground: "No need to talk nonsense, come today, Taiyi is kicking the hall." He said solemnly: "If you are afraid, you can beg for mercy."
