Chapter 174: Another Betrayal

Don’t talk about gossip, show off one, show off the hero Wu Erlang, no, Li Muyun.

When Chen Mu got the lard and horse urine back, the knife blank in the mold was almost cold. When the iron was turned over, he gently knocked it to pour the knife blank out of the mold. The blacksmith Zhong found something to hold it and entered the shop again.

In fact, the so-called shop is a half-open shed with all kinds of iron-making tools.

Li Muyun followed the blacksmith and entered the shop. While watching the blacksmith make a knife blank there, he poured the lard and horse urine into the box used by the blacksmith for quenching.

"Hou, Master Hou, what are you doing?" After seeing Li Muyun's behavior, Zhong Blacksmith immediately changed his expression and shouted.

"Do not talk nonsense when you do your work!" The things were poured into the boxes. Li Muyun held back the pungent smell and said to Blacksmith Zhong: "Do you know if you will use this Dong Quenching in a while? Use horse urine first, and then lard."

"Ah?" Zhong Blacksmith was completely stunned by Li Muyun. He had been quenched with iron for the rest of his life. Why did he become quenched with horse urine when he came to this master today?

"What, let's go and hit your knife. Also, if your fighting style is wrong, you must completely fold the blade." Li Muyun said impatiently, while instructing Blacksmith Zhong to soften the knife blank, then fold it in the middle, and then continue hitting.

Originally, Li Muyun wanted to make a mold at one time and directly produce steel.

But after searching around Zhong Blacksmith's shop, he found that he was missing a lot of things, so he gave up.

You should know that the difference between iron and steel is the amount of charcoal. If the charcoal contains less than a certain level, it is cooked iron. If it is more than a certain level, it is pig iron. Steel takes a value between the two.

Nowadays, due to the lack of things, the iron refined by Blacksmith Zhong could not achieve the neutralization of charcoal at all, so the charcoal content exceeded the standard and became pig iron in pig iron. In this way, the iron can only be beaten out a large amount of charcoal contained in it through continuous pounding.

However, since the left and right have to be beaten constantly, it is better to be beaten. That's why Li Muyun asked Zhong Blacksmith to use the stacking method to beat, just because it can produce beautiful cloud patterns on the blade.

As for horse urine and lard, this is simple, it is ordinary double-liquid quenching.

Although liquid quenching has been invented more than a hundred years ago, it is not widely known because of the inconvenience of spreading news in ancient times and the fact that most people in this era are self-congratulatory, so it is not widely known. Zhong Blacksmith, a blacksmith in a small border county, is naturally unknown. Even Li Yuan, Fang Yizhi and others do not know this method of quenching.

Of course, this is not because they cannot find this type of information, but because the status of craftsmen was too low in ancient times, and their knowledge and literati were disdainful to learn.

...

The sound of iron slamming lasted for a whole day. It was not until it was almost dark that Zhong Blacksmith finally stopped at Li Muyun's request and began to quench the work.

Once, twice, and twice, it is polished and polished, but this time, Li Muyun no longer needs to be mixed in it.

Finally, after another day and night, Blacksmith Zhong finally completed his work. A horizontal knife with a sharp body and a beautiful cloud pattern appeared in front of everyone.

"Beautiful, so beautiful!" Wang Jie held the horizontal knife and kept licking the corner of his mouth, as if he was afraid that his saliva would flow out.

"No matter how beautiful it is, it has nothing to do with you. This is made based on Chen Mu's knife, so this thing belongs to Lao Chen." Li Muyun stood aside and said sneeringly as Wang Jie looked as if he wanted to take the horizontal knife for himself.

"What?"

"I asked you for a sword yesterday morning. If you don't give it to me, who can I blame now?" Li Muyun spread his hands.

"Then, then you'll say it long ago!" Wang Jie shouted anxiously with a red and white face when he saw the duck flying with his hands flying.

However, Li Muyun didn't say anything this time, just looked at Wang Jie with the look of an idiot, making someone so angry that he almost wanted to go crazy.

And Chen Mu naturally would not be polite to Wang Jie. After hearing Li Muyun say that the knife was his own, he immediately stepped forward and took the knife from Wang Jie's hand and gently stroked it with caress.

When Li Yuan, who came to see the fun, interrupted at this time: "This knife looks really good, but it's not a good knife, but you still have to try it before you know, Chen Mu."

"exist!"

"Try the knife!"

"promise!"

After listening to Li Yuan's order, Chen Mu responded without hesitation, carried the knife and walked to the open space not far away, and waved to his younger brother Chen Huo who was standing aside.

Normally, whether the knife is fast or not is usually determined by cutting some armor pieces, but the current situation in the village obviously does not meet such conditions, so we can only settle for the second best, and cut the sword against each other, and one blow determines the outcome.

...

Li Muyun was still somewhat confident in the knife he created under his guidance, but Su Wanqing and the others didn't think so. Looking at Chen Mu and Chen Huo standing with their own swords in the open space, the little girls clenched their fists nervously.

At this time, the two brothers of the Chen family in the field did not think so much. After each was ready, they shouted and raised their swords and slashed at each other.

The lightning was shining, and with a "clang" sound, everyone's eyes flashed with silver light, and a piece of cut-off knife flew out.

The knife is broken!

Whose knife? Is it Chen Mu's or Chen Huo's?

Before they could see the direction of the broken blade flying out, everyone turned their eyes to the two on the field.

But it was found that Chen Huo was kneeling on one knee, while Chen Mu was standing beside him, looking at the horizontal knife in his hand with some regret.

"Yeah, that's great!" After seeing everything in front of him, Su Wanqing waved her fist excitedly.

Chen Mu's knife is complete, which means that the one that just broke was Chen Huo's knife, which is enough to show that the knife created by Li Muyun can surpass the so-called Hundred Refining Horizontal Sword.

Su Yatou was successful, really successful. She was so anxious that she almost jumped up after she had been worried for a long time.

You should know that in this era, the Bailian Hengdao was already the best knife in the Tang Dynasty, and each one costs at least three jin of money.

However, the knife created by Li Muyun can break the Bailiang horizontal sword, which is enough to illustrate many problems.

Blacksmith Zhong did not expect that the knife he created could cut off the Bailian horizontal sword. His old face was already red and red at this time. His eyes moved back and forth on the broken sword on the ground and the horizontal sword in Chen Mu's hand, and his fists were loosened and clenched tightly.

You know, the most he created before were farm tools, and the most he created during this period was horseshoe. These things have no technical content, and it can be said that they can be produced by individuals.
