Chapter 67 Young Pu Yuan (2)

On this day, Mrs. Dong's spirit improved. Dong Yuan asked her second sister to take care of her, and she took Lu Yi to a small village in the depths of the pasture, built by the mound stream.The person on duty at the gate of the village was Dong Zhao. When he saw Dong Yuan coming from a distance, he immediately went up to greet him, intervened to salute and asked, "Miss San, why are you here?"

"Can't I come? This seems to be my home!"

"No, no..." Dong Zhao was fine in drinking and fighting, but in terms of bickering, he was no match for Dong Yuan out of ten.

Dong Yuan waved her hands and smiled, "Okay, okay, I won't make things difficult for you. I know your lord has strict rules, so I'll wait here. You tell your lord that Sister Lu'er and I are here, and let him Come out and meet us quickly."

"Thank you, Miss San, for your understanding!"

Dong Zhao expressed his thanks in a hurry, and after saluting, he hurried into the village.After a while, he ran out again, came to Dong Yuan, and said with some embarrassment: "Miss San, my lord said he is very busy, so I let you do what you want."

"What does he mean?"

"That is to say, if you want to go in, just go in."

Lu Yi pulled Dong Yuan, "Dong Zhao, what are you busy with, Young Master?"

"I'm practicing swords with craftsmen!"

"Knife practice?"

"It's not practicing swords, it's refining swords... Forget it, I can't tell, you'd better go in and see for yourself."

Dong Yuan was very curious, and immediately led Lu Yi into the stockade.The area of ​​this small stockade is not large, besides those craftsmen, there are only more than 100 people including Dong Zhao and others.Counting the family members, there are no more than 300 people in total.

But such a small village was built according to the directions of the Jiugong Bagua.

Camps, residences, and workshops are all clearly divided.This is not the first time Dong Yuan has come here, so she is not very surprised.

What surprised her was that there wasn't a clanging sound coming from the workshop.

Dismounting with Luyi and walking in, he saw Dong Bi shirtless, discussing something with a group of craftsmen.

Next to a sword casting furnace, there was a wooden stake, on which hung two sets of Mingguang armor that fell down, which was very strange.

"are you done?"

I heard Dong Zhuo yelling loudly.After a while, a burly but gray-haired old craftsman walked over holding a horse-chopping sword.This horse-cutting sword is more than three feet long, and the tan is one foot long. At first glance, it looks like a Japanese sword of later generations, but when you look closely, it is completely different.This horse-cutting sword appeared as early as the Western Han Dynasty, and it can be used for both foot and horse combat.As Dong Zhuo's daughter, Dong Yuan has also learned martial arts since she was a child, so she is no stranger to this.

I just don't understand, what is Dong Bi doing?
The old craftsman walked up to Dong Bi with the knife in his hand, "My lord, according to your request, this knife has gone through a lot of refining, and it is not as sharp as a magic weapon, but it is also a precious knife that cuts iron like mud. This is the limit of a villain, but I wonder if the lord is satisfied?"

Dong Bi took the knife and waved it twice in the air.

"Satisfactory or not, try to know."

He strode up to the wooden post, worked up all his strength, pointed at the armor with a loud shout, and slashed across with a single blow.

clang……

There was a long crisp sound, and the hundred-refined sword unexpectedly broke into several knots.

There was only one handle left in Dong Bi's hand. After standing there for a while, he said to the stunned old craftsman beside him, "It seems that he is not satisfied."

The bright light armor was extremely hard, but it was cut open by Zhanma Jiankan.

It's just that Dong Bi didn't seem to be satisfied with this, and threw the handle of the knife on the ground, "It still doesn't work. Master Pu, according to what you said about the Bailian Horse-cutting Sword, it should be able to cut off at least one layer of armor. But this knife only opened One mouthful, no way."

"Master Pu was originally from Guanghan County. Later, he was captured by the Di people of the Southern Man, sold to Baima Qiang, and worked under Teng Lier. This time Teng Lier led his troops, and Master Pu must follow. His casting technique is very good, and the young master also values ​​this very much. Now that he is the leader here, the young master trusts him very much."

Seeing Dong Yuan's confused expression, Lu Yi whispered an explanation in her ear.

Dong Yuan nodded, walked up and asked, "A Chou, what are you doing?"

Just as Dong Bi was about to explain, he saw a boy walking out of the shed, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a childish look on his face.

"My lord, Dad's process is not wrong, and the material is also high-quality. If this happens, it must be because the steel mouth is too brittle..."

"A Yuan, what are you doing out here?"

Master Pu looked nervous when he saw the young man. He forced a smile and said, "My lord, please don't blame me. I'm ignorant, please forgive me for talking nonsense."

Dong Bi smiled, "It's okay!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the chubby boy say unhappily: "Father, I really know the reason."

Master Pu was furious and was about to beat him up.But Dong Bi said: "Master Pu, you might as well listen to what he has to say."

"Water quality!"

The young man said: "Father's craftsmanship is not wrong, but when the knife reaches the level of 'white and bright', it needs to be quenched. And quenching has high requirements on water quality. After ancient times, the masters of swordsmiths before forging swords , must choose a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. To put it bluntly, it is to choose the appropriate water quality... The water here comes from Taoshui, which is pure and weak, but it will not be quenched; The release of water can be successful."

The young man talked eloquently. At the beginning, Master Pu was still nervous, but after hearing it, he couldn't help applauding.

"That's right, the water quality, the problem should be in the quenching water."

Dong Bi frowned, "Then do you know where the water is refreshing and suitable for quenching?"

"This... the villain doesn't know either. But since ancient times, the swordsmiths have chosen the south as the place to forge swords. If the lord wants to practice a good sword, he should look for it in the south... The villain remembers that when we came here, we were in Stayed in Xiegu for one night. The water there is hard and refreshing, it should be refreshing water, the lord can send someone to find it and try it.”

Dong Bi nodded, turned his head and shouted: "Dong Qi!"

"The end is here!"

The one who answered the order was the hundred generals of the Po Qiang who had followed Dong Bi to the northwest.His real name was Qiren. After he came to Lintao, Dong Bi simply gave him a surname, and chose the word "Qi" from his name, so he is called Dong Qi now.

"Take twenty people and go to Xiegu immediately to get some local water."

"Here!"

Dong Bi let out a long breath and said with a smile: "Master Pu, since it's about the water, let's put the horse-slaying sword aside for now. The other items I requested need to be crafted as soon as possible. If there is anything else you need, please tell Dong Zhao. "

"Little man obeys!"

Dong Bi took the Zen shirt from Dong Tie's hand and put it on.

"Sister, let's talk in the military tent."

As he spoke, he walked towards the military tent.Seeing that he was about to walk out of the work shed, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Turning to the little fat man, he asked, "Hey, what's your name?"

Before the little fat man could answer, Master Pu said in fear, "My lord, he is the son of a villain. His surname is Pu, and each character is one yuan."

"Pu Yuan?"

Dong Bi looked at the little fat man, "Your name is Pu Yuan!"
