Five Elements Heaven
Volume 1, Chapter 58: Threading the needle [First update]
Ai Hui's expression was extremely serious, the murderous intent in his eyes was as cold as autumn, and the air around him seemed to freeze. He was completely unaware of the beads of sweat on his forehead.
In front of the tip of the index finger of his right hand, there was a silver ray of light flickering like a needle. He held a thin thread in his left hand and carefully inserted it into the needle hole of the Yuanli needle.
The needle hole of Yuanli Needle is very unstable, sometimes getting bigger and sometimes smaller, making it very difficult to control. Ai Hui has been trying for a long time, but has not succeeded yet.
There was a burst of laughter from the girls behind them, and a man came to the embroidery workshop. He had already aroused the curiosity of the little girls, and they all ran over to watch. Men are not allowed to enter the embroidery workshop, so when the little girls saw Ai Hui, their eyes lit up and they were full of curiosity.
And when Ai Hui started learning embroidery, everyone suddenly became excited. It had never been seen before for a man to learn embroidery.
"How stupid. I've worn it for so long and haven't even put on the thread yet."
"That's right, look at him sweating profusely and his eyes are really fierce!"
"Because he has a grudge against Xiantou!"
…
The girls were chattering and laughing, finding it very interesting. Especially seeing Ai Hui clumsy was like seeing a rare animal.
Fortunately, Ai Hui focused all his attention on the Yuanli needle and the thread, turning a deaf ear to the outside world. Otherwise, he would probably vomit blood when he heard these jokes.
Everyone's work station in the embroidery workshop is separated by gauze curtains, and the translucent gauze curtains can be seen outside.
Behind the curtain, Wang Shouchuan was drinking tea with the old lady, occasionally glancing in Ai Hui's direction.
"I haven't even threaded a thread yet. Do you think he is really suitable for embroidery?" The old lady looked back and asked calmly.
Lao Wang drank tea with a leisurely expression: "We don't expect him to make money from this and just exercise his energy. Besides, haven't you noticed that this kid's concentration is a bit powerful?"
"It's a bit." There was a hint of appreciation in the old lady's tone: "At such a young age, I didn't succeed in threading for a long time. It's not easy to be discouraged at all and still be so focused. He really has a good character. No wonder you accepted him as your disciple. "
Lao Wang became proud and accepted a good apprentice. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't show off recently: "That's right! Don't think he has poor qualifications, but he is in the Seven Strong Palace, and this kid is really solid in learning things, and his energy is overflowing. Yuanfu. No one guided him, he practiced by himself, he must be amazing. Even my Qian Prajna passed through, I admire him."
There was a look of surprise on the old lady's face. Ai Hui looked ordinary in every aspect, but unexpectedly he had many outstanding features.
"It seems that you are very satisfied." The old lady was a little surprised. She knew how bad Lao Wang's temper was, how stubborn he was at certain times was completely unreasonable, and he had a very high self-esteem.
"Not satisfied, but very satisfied." Lao Wang corrected: "I have encountered two good things in my life. One is meeting you, and the other is that I can finally have an apprentice before I die."
The old lady was very excited when she heard the first half of the sentence, but immediately frowned when she heard the second half of the sentence, and said angrily: "It's okay to say die, if you want to die, you die by yourself."
"Hehe." The old man was a little embarrassed, but changed the subject: "I told him how powerful you are. You don't know, I said you can control 949 Yuanli needles, and that kid's eyes are all Staring wide."
"Now it's one thousand and sixty-four!" the old lady said proudly, and then said to herself: "It seems that I have to give him some real seals."
"Try hard, do whatever you want, don't be afraid of bad practice, give him whatever job is difficult, give him whatever job is tiring. What this kid eats is grass, what he pulls out is treasure!" The old man laughed.
The old lady was amused: "It's so pitiful to be your apprentice."
Ai Hui didn't know that he had been betrayed by the old man. His thread was finally put on the Yuanli needle, and he realized that his forehead was covered with sweat. He now fully believes what the old man said. Embroidery really tests Yuanli control. He used to think that his Yuanli control was pretty good, but today he was completely defeated.
Only when you really get started do you realize how difficult it is.
Stabilizing the Yuanli needle is a very difficult task. What is even more difficult is to open a pinhole at the end of the condensed Yuanli needle. Ai Hui was stumped by this step for a long time, and finally, with some guidance, he successfully formed a pinhole. But Ai Hui soon discovered that it is not easy to form a pinhole, and even more difficult to stabilize the pinhole. And if you want to thread a thread, the most important thing is to stabilize the pinhole.
The thread in the left hand and the needle in the right hand must be divided into two parts.
Ai Hui's needle hole is sometimes larger and sometimes smaller, so threading always fails. Fortunately, after fumbling around for an afternoon, he finally figured out the pattern and threaded his Yuanli needle.
He couldn't help feeling that the requirements for embroidery to control Yuanli were too high.
Ai Hui thought of the embroidery master the teacher said could control more than 900 Yuanli needles at the same time. How terrifying that was.
But Ai Hui soon became excited. If he was still a little doubtful about the teacher's statement before, now he is extremely sure that embroidery is an excellent way to practice.
He only cares about improving his own strength, and he doesn't care at all whether he loses face or not.
"how do you feel?"
The teacher's voice came from behind.
Ai Hui quickly stood up and then noticed that the teacher was behind him. Next to the teacher is the owner of the embroidery workshop, a serious old lady.
"It feels good." He thought for a while and then continued: "A very effective way of training, which requires high control of Yuanli."
This visit to the embroidery workshop was really eye-opening. He used to think that the embroidery workshop was just a place for embroidery, but when he got here, he realized that it was completely different from what he thought.
This is more like a workshop.
There were piles of cloth, yarn, many unfinished leather armors, and even swords, and the air was filled with the smell of herbs. After asking the master, I learned that the ropes and tassels on the sword hilt need to be embroidered. These things are not just for beauty, but are for combat service. For example, the rope used to wrap the sword hilt is made of unusual materials and requires unique stitching methods to twist and twist into a special thick rope. High-level Yuan swords are often formed naturally and are very repulsive to other things. It is impossible to wrap a rope around the hilt with ordinary techniques, so special techniques are needed.
Ai Hui also saw a soft grass sword that he had never seen before. The patterns on the sword were made from embroidery. After asking the teacher, I found out that this is a soft grass sword embryo. The patterns on the sword body can allow Yuanli to penetrate the sword body better and enhance its power. These sword embryos will be sent to the Grass Weapon Primary Manufacturing Institute for further processing. After being soaked in potions and uniquely tempered, a high-level grass sword can be formed.
Basically, anything related to threads and ropes can be seen in embroidery workshops.
Of course, the embroidery workshop only accepts high-end goods.
The embroidery techniques were even more dazzling, which made Ai Hui marvel.
