Chapter 15 Blacksmith Shop

Ding ding ding dong, Lin Manshan could hear the rhythmic beating sound before he got close.

Hammer sign, adobe-built exterior walls, approaching and looking inside, several brick and wood houses are side by side, and the forge room connected to the chimney is full of sparks.

Several blacksmiths were knocking together, and not far away was a wooden frame covered with various iron tools.

This is a small blacksmith shop, but it has everything you need.

Lin Manshan walked straight in and walked towards the forging table.

"Little friend, it's dangerous there, stop quickly, don't get close!" Seeing Lin Manshan walking towards the forging room, a burly shirtless man who was talking to customers beside the wooden frame hurried over, frowned slightly and looked down at Lin Manshan who had stopped and turned around , "Where are your adults? Didn't they tell you that the forging room near the blacksmith shop is dangerous?"

In this kind of civilian gathering area, there are indeed many people who let their children buy ironware, but it is rare for them to be so young.The temperature of the forging furnace in the forging room is extremely high, and there are many sundries around. The children are too young and ignorant, and the consequences of accidentally falling into it will be disastrous.

Moreover, the child in front of him is still wearing the uniform of Notting College. If something happens, their blacksmith shop can't afford it. "Could it be that a phoenix has emerged from a grass nest? How can there be students of Notting College in this kind of place."

The man was afraid in his heart and couldn't help thinking.

"Hello, uncle!" Lin Manshan greeted politely, and said seriously: "I'm here to apply for an apprentice."

"Kids, don't make trouble. This is not the place for you to come. Judging from your age and attire, you should be a student who has just joined Notting College, right? Being a soul master is a big deal. Hurry up! Go back. Study hard and become a real soul master as soon as possible. " The man smiled softly.He could tell that the child in front of him was born as a commoner like him, and he should be short of money, otherwise he wouldn't have come to this kind of place to apply for an apprentice blacksmith.

Blacksmithing is the lowest occupation on the mainland, and people with a little status look down on it.

"Uncle, my martial spirit is a knife. The teacher said that if you want to use this kind of martial spirit well, you have to exercise your arm and waist strength. I think blacksmithing is a good way. It can not only exercise your body, but also make money." Lin Manshan pointed out He came with a sincere tone, "In addition, I am very strong. I have watched the blacksmiths in the village forge since I was a child. Although I don't know how to forge iron, it is still no problem to forge pig iron."

"Uncle, if you don't believe me, I can show you how to forge a piece of pig iron right now. Besides, I'm a work-study student in the college, and I have time every afternoon."

The man was also taken aback after hearing this. He felt that what Lin Manshan said was quite reasonable. Blacksmithing is a physical labor, and the more you do it, the more you eat, and it really exercises your waist and arms. Look at your guys, Which one is not big waist thick buttocks strong?

However, for such a young child, can the forging hammer be lifted?Still hammering pig iron?
"Boss, why don't you let this kid try it." The blacksmiths in the forging room also stopped their movements at this time, chatting with interest.

One of the blacksmiths looked at the man, nodded slightly, and slowly walked forward with a forging hammer.

"Little friend, if you can swing this forging hammer in my hand, I will let you try."

"Yeah." Lin Manshan nodded quickly, quickly took the hammer from the blacksmith's hand with his right hand, and swung it up and down easily.

"Good guy, you can swing it with one hand."

"It's different for Wuhun to have soul power. A child has such great strength."

"This is a seedling who is born to be a blacksmith."

"." In the forging room, all the blacksmiths were stunned and praised again and again.

"Okay, kid, I'll accept you as an apprentice." The man said with a smile, no matter whether Lin Manshan really knows how to forge pig iron, with this strength, he is also an excellent seedling, and he should be able to get started with a little teaching Work, if you can train a soul master blacksmith, and spread the word in the future, he will have a bright face, and maybe he can bring better business to the store.

It's not a loss-making deal.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Tieshan, and this is my younger brother Tie Zhu." The man smiled and led Lin Manshan into the forging room, introduced the blacksmiths one by one, and then took the forging platform off the fixed wooden pier together. Adjust the height again, and put a piece of red-hot pig iron on it from the stove, "Aman, come try to temper this piece of pig iron, let me see how your foundation is?"

After speaking, he led the blacksmiths back to the side.

"Okay." Lin Manshan nodded, put the hammer aside, and quickly took off his school uniform, revealing his short sleeves and white arms. Compared with the blacksmiths present, his arms were obviously much smaller.But from the slightly bulging muscles above, you can still see the traces of long-term exercise.Picking up the hammer again, Lin Manshan looked at the iron block and slowly raised the hammer.

In the next second, he swung down violently.

"Dang Dang Dang" violent and rhythmic impact sounded one after another.

"This is!?" The eyes of the two Tieshan brothers and the blacksmiths became more and more focused, and there was a certain illusion in their eyes. It felt that what Lin Manshan was wielding was not a hammer at all, but a big knife, a knife. Another slash, like a big wave in a strong wind, one wave is higher than the other, the force is getting heavier and heavier, with an indomitable momentum, each slash is extremely decisive.

"How good is this kid?" Although the few customers onlookers didn't know forging, they could tell from the eyes of the blacksmiths that Lin Manshan's level was not simple.

Not long after, Lin Manshan stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead.The iron block on the casting table has cooled down a lot at this time, and the overall size has shrunk by a large circle.

"Aman, is your hand okay?" Tieshan stepped forward quickly, looked down at the iron block, opened his mouth, then raised his head quickly, staring at Lin Manshan's red right arm as if looking at a monster. Domineering and fast-paced training methods undoubtedly require extremely high arm strength. Even he dare not hit like this, but Lin Manshan not only dares to hit, but also seems to be fine.

"Uncle Tieshan, I'm fine, just a little hot." Lin Manshan smiled.

Hearing this, Tieshan breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed, "Aman, the blacksmith who taught you how to forge must be a master blacksmith. To be honest, I feel that only the legendary chaotic wind hammer method can be compared with it." gone."

He can be sure that this is not the random cloaking wind hammer method, because the random cloaking wind hammer method pays attention to using force, while Lin Manshan's technique is more vigorous and domineering, hammering to the end, no, it's not like hammering, but chopping , cutting, all the way to the end.Finally, part of the recoil force is relieved by inertia, so as to reach the point.

Retrieve the action with less recoil, protecting the arm while achieving consistent hammering.

In his opinion, such an exquisite technique must be because the blacksmith thought that Lin Manshan's natural supernatural power was a good seed for a blacksmith, and he wanted to teach it, so he was willing to let him watch it all the time.After all, he would never believe that the level of tempering could reach this level if he just watched it a few times.It's a pity that I can't see exactly how to use it. Tieshan sighed secretly.

He also knew that the other party must have been instructed not to spread this kind of forging technique.

As a person with professional ethics, he can't take the initiative to ask, even if he wants to find it, he has to find the blacksmith.

Hey, at my age and qualifications, the other party will definitely look down on me.

"However, although Aman's force-exerting skills are excellent, his knowledge of forging materials and experience in swinging the hammer are obviously insufficient. He hammered a lot of mistakes and wasted his energy. That master only taught Aman The most basic blacksmith's forging skills should be laying the foundation for Aman, and now Aman's foundation is sufficient, and the subsequent forging process of finished products has not been taught."

"If I teach Aman what I know, wouldn't I be considered a half-master, and Aman will be famous all over the world in the future. What the hell, I can play for the rest of my life."

"Especially Aman is still a soul master!"

"One day I will go to the Gengxin City Blacksmiths Association to participate in the Blacksmiths Conference. I will have a bright face."

Thinking of this, Tieshan smiled even more.

"Ah? I just fight according to what I know, and I don't know anything else." Lin Manshan said a little cautiously.

"It's okay, the master should take the initiative to tell you other things in the future." Tieshan smiled, and then looked solemn, "Aman, although your tempering technique is exquisite, but your forging experience is lacking, especially in the In terms of cognition of forging materials, in addition, there is also the judgment of the point of force when swinging the hammer. These all need to be accumulated slowly in the process of practice.”

"From now on, you can learn from me and my uncles in this shop. You don't have to be polite if you don't understand, just ask. In addition, how about your salary, one silver soul coin per month like other uncles for the time being? If If the business is good, more commission will be added."

"Thank you Uncle Tieshan." Lin Manshan nodded again and again, "However, Uncle Tieshan, the college has an opening ceremony tomorrow, so I may not be able to come until the day after tomorrow."

"Aman, so you are a freshman. Then you are only six years old." Tieshan showed surprise, sighing to himself that Lin Manshan was hardworking and willing to endure hardships, and at the same time he was even more convinced that Lin Manshan was a good seed to be a blacksmith, so he had to teach him well!
Smiling and nodding slightly, "It's okay, I'll come back after your academy's affairs are settled."

"Well, Uncle Tieshan, then I'll go back to the academy first."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Lin Manshan put on his school uniform and walked out of the blacksmith shop, heading straight towards the academy.

I bought the bedding halfway, and ran back to the dormitory with my back on my back.
