Chapter 136 New skills
It seemed that he agreed to teach Chen Chen how to make weapons (blacksmithing), and Chen Chen nodded quickly.
"Hey, don't be too quick to be happy. I still have a few requests. If you don't agree, I still can't teach you." Hong Feng said.
"You say."
"First of all, no matter whether you succeed in learning in the end, you can't say that I taught you when you go outside. If others ask, just say that you taught yourself and don't have anything to do with me."
Ah, this request is too strange. Chen Chen resisted the urge to ask why and nodded heavily.
"Also, when you study here, I will let you do it yourself, so you don't have to worry about it. But you can't get started on all the orders I take here. At most, you can only watch."
"Um...ok."
"Last point, after you finish your studies, you can stay in Yuyang City and build various things for others, but you can't open your own shop, let alone form your own brand. Do you understand?"
Chen Chen heard it and repeated it silently in his heart, then nodded.
"Haha, judging from your appearance, I should have a lot of questions. Well, ask." Hong Feng said with a big grin.
Chen Chen can still understand the last one. After all, he still understands the principle of teaching a disciple to starve his master to death. However, he really can't understand the other ones. "I only have one question: why?"
Hong Feng raised his head and laughed a few more times, then sighed and said: "Well, the world is different now. In the past, we blacksmiths were divided into two types, one only made weapons, and the other only made daily necessities. But
Later, the country relaxed the conditions in this regard, and fewer people came to customize weapons. There was no way, the blacksmiths who originally made weapons gradually started making daily necessities, and people like us who originally made daily necessities also made some weapons.
Forging method.”
"But you should have heard that after some assassins assassinated important officials of the imperial court, the craftsmen who forged weapons for him were punished; there were also assassins who, after killing their enemies, continued to seek revenge on the enemy's weapon craftsmen. These days,
It's okay if you make a hoe, but if you make a sword, everyone around you will be afraid of it."
"We are just a group of ordinary people who come out to make a living. We still have wives and children at home. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, we dare not take risks. You promised me these things, and after I teach you, we will have nothing to do with each other.
Not only are you protecting me, but you are also protected."
It turns out that's the case. No wonder Chen Chen was rejected at the same time after visiting so many places. It turns out that teaching a person still requires taking such a big risk. But think about it, after all, the chaotic "Era of Magic" has just ended, people should
They all really hope for a peaceful life.
"I understand, Master Hong, let's start now?"
"Okay, you can watch from the side first and focus on my exertion."
Although Chen Chen had read a book on weapon refining in Jiang Han Academy, it was just an introductory introduction. It only gave a rough introduction to the performance of each material, its applicable fields, and some aspects that need attention. But when he actually saw it with his own eyes
During this scene, when several blazing sparks burst out from the two colliding metals, he still felt the shock to his soul, and felt the neighing sound of the pure and turbid blending when the Hongmeng was born (just follow my class)
That’s how you felt when you were there?).
"You want to try?"
Chen Chen took the hammer and gave it a couple of tentative hits. "Like this?"
"Smash it a few more times." Hong Feng folded his arms and said beside him.
"Dong dong!" Two more times.
"Look, your hits have been a little off-center these few times. Every time you raise your hand, you have to know where you are going to hit it next time. Here, come and watch."
"Dong! Dong! Dong!" Accompanied by the heavy hammering sound, light curtains shone again and again, illuminating the entire dark room.
So, under Hong Feng's guidance and Chen Chen's extraordinary talent, in just a few weeks, the farm tools he built were already in shape.
But on this day, Hong Feng received an unprecedented order.
"Master Hong, are you back?" Chen Chen, who was checking the flaws in his finished product in the corner, saw Hong Feng coming back with a fist-sized translucent stone piece in his hand. Chen Chen's eyes were immediately drawn to his hand.
I was attracted by the material. "This is... the Five Elements Slip?" And it seemed to be a rock slip.
"Hey," Hong Feng's attention was attracted by Chen Chen again. He originally walked straight to the anvil, but turned a corner and walked to Chen Chen's side. "Do you know this one?"
"Of course." I finally felt proud, "Even though I am young, I am a spirit chanter."
"Five Elements Jane... This is the most difficult thing to work with in the world. I took a big job. As long as I can make this thing into a pair of bracelets, the salary my employer will give me will be enough for me to work without food or water for five or six years."
That’s it.”
Chen Chen nodded. After all, processing Five Elements Slips is very difficult, so the price is not outrageous. "Then you agree?"
Hong Feng shook his head: "No, I told them to give it a try. After all, I'm not confident enough to succeed with this thing. Okay, Chen Chen, come over and help."
"Okay!" Chen Chen jumped up from the ground. After all, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to forge the Five Elements Slips is a very meaningful thing regardless of success or failure.
"It is said that processing the Five Elements Slips is difficult, but you have probably never heard of the specific difficulty." Hong Feng clamped the rock slip and pulled the bellows at hand. "The difficulty lies in the ultra-high control of the temperature.
.Unlike other metals, its suitable processing temperature range is very small, and it is difficult to change its shape if it is too high or too low."
He put the rock slips in the stove to roast, and then said: "The second difficulty is that it requires precise control of force. Other metals are very malleable, but they can only be struck with a fixed intensity to change their shape."
When Hong Feng took the rock slip out of the stove, its appearance did not change much. Hong Feng said while banging it: "And the second point will extend the construction period very long, and the temperature will definitely change during the period.
At this time, it is necessary to return to the furnace and heat it up again to find the point suitable for processing. It can be said that processing the Five Elements Slips is a multiple test of patience, care and ability, which is why it becomes so difficult."
