Chapter 52: Reading, Forging, and Martial Arts "You rebellious son! You rebellious son!" In the hall, Xue Dingyi knelt on the ground, lowered his eyes, and dared not say a word. The entire Xue residence was silent, with only the roar of the master Xue Chengquan being heard. "If no one had told me, I wouldn't have known that you had caused such a big trouble outside! For four months, the tuition alone was one hundred taels of silver, and I also gave you extra medicine expenses, which was another fifty taels! What did you say you had cultivated? Huh? You are idle outside, have no ambition, stir up trouble, and at home you rape the maids, are disobedient and unfilial, and indulge in alcohol and sex. How could I give birth to such a rebellious son like you! " Xue Dingyi stiffened his neck and said, "How did I rape a maid? Qiuhua seduced me first, and she even asked me to drink brown sugar water in a coquettish way." "you you!" Xue Chengquan pointed at Xue Dingyi's nose with trembling hands, and was so angry that his face turned pale and his mouth, nose and eyes were crooked. "Oh, my son, please say less." Xue's mother shouted anxiously. "You shut up too! If you hadn't helped to keep it a secret, how could I have known about it now? Two days, two whole days, he went out to fool around every day, I thought he went to a martial arts gym! But it turned out to be a brothel!" Xue Chengquan looked at the servants on his left and right and ordered, "Shut his mouth and beat him to death!" The servants were trembling like quails, but they dared not disobey because the master was still the head of the family.
They could only press Xue Dingyi down on the bench and hit him with a big board a dozen times, but it was just a lot of noise but little results. "Okay, okay, you all are going to act for me, right? Huh? Get out of my way!" Xue Chengquan kicked the person holding the clapboard away, snatched it away, and gritted his teeth before hitting him thirty or forty times with it. Xue's mother cried and hugged Xue Chengquan's legs, begging him to stop beating her, but Xue Chengquan would not listen and beat her even harder: "A loving mother often spoils her son. It's you who spoiled this rebellious son all the time. Now you come to persuade me, if you continue to persuade me, I'll beat you too!" Xue's mother was so frightened that she let go of his hand, remained silent, and sat on the ground alone, wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Xue Chengquan beat him until he was out of breath. He kept beating until he could no longer lift the stick. He then sat down on a stool to rest, took a sip of tea and shouted, "Tomorrow, tomorrow you will come with me to Yixing City and apologize to Master Yang's ninth disciple!" no respond. "Did you hear me?" Still no response. Xue Chengquan's eyebrows were raised, and he was about to pick up the stick again. The servant beside him hurriedly shouted, "Master, stop hitting him. The young master has fainted! If you hit him again, something bad will happen!" "Tungsten is different from other metals. It is very heat-resistant and cannot be melted in ordinary furnaces. However, it has a characteristic that it can easily absorb fire essence but has difficulty releasing it. Therefore, a large amount of red stone is used to forge it. After a certain period of time, it will gradually soften." Lu Gang sat in front of the furnace, pouring red stones into it, his muscles shining with a dazzling metallic luster. "I have never used Scarlet Flame Mourning Feather to forge weapons before, but I have used similar materials before, so I am somewhat confident. Perhaps this spear will be my masterpiece." Liang Qu was delighted when he heard this: "Thank you, Senior Brother Lu." "You're welcome. Being able to forge a sharp weapon is the best reward for a blacksmith. If you hadn't come, I would have found a way to refine the Scarlet Flame Mourning Feather into a weapon. The only difference is what it is." "By the way, Senior Brother Lu, if we use the Scarlet Flame Mourning Feather, will the spear turn into something with fire attributes?" Liang Qu was worried. This was both a fiery red stone and a red bird mourning feather. If it were in a different story context, it would definitely be a magic weapon of fire attribute. But he is a water monkey, and their horoscopes are incompatible. “No, the characteristic of tungsten is that its phase is stable and its properties are not easy to change. Moreover, rutile is actually a kind of high-temperature charcoal. There is nothing special about it.
As for the Red Fire Mourning Feather, it is essentially the essence of life. Although it has fire energy, it cannot be integrated into tungsten unless you use other means. It can only give spirituality to tungsten weapons. Junior brother, do you want to add attributes? Then the material of the gun head must be changed. " "Oh, no, no, it's fine now." "Row." At noon, Liang Qu had a meal at Lu Gang's place and then left. Staying here is useless, watching his senior brother busying around, it's not a good idea to sit there and do nothing. Back at the martial arts hall, Liang Qu practiced his skin again, and was one step closer to breaking through. Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and there is enough positive feedback every day to keep him happy. Even though the weather is getting colder day by day, he has no desire to stay in bed when he gets up in the morning. He just wants to break through, break through, and break through! After the leather refining was completed, Xiang Changsong came to look for Liang Qu. It turned out that Senior Brother Hu had come back earlier and saw Liang Qu practicing, so he did not disturb him. He asked Xiang Changsong to help take him to the academy to introduce himself to the sect, while he went to find Master Yang to report the matter of the mountain ghost. He has to practice martial arts, watch blacksmithing, read books, and when he has time, he has to go into the water to get treasures. Liang Qu suddenly felt that his time had become very tight, as if he was required by his parents to sign up for several cram schools. But attending this cram school is undoubtedly a mixture of pain and joy. Martial arts, reading, spiritual weapons, no matter which one, ordinary people are not qualified to have access to them, but he has them all now. When they arrived at the academy, they were greeted by a white-haired old man in a long gown. After writing down the information briefly, the old man stroked his beard and said, "Tomorrow is a day off. Then starting from the day after tomorrow, young master, you will come every afternoon from the end of 5 . to the end of 3 ., study for one hour, work ten hours and rest one day, how do you think?" "It's all up to you." "Okay, come find me when the time comes and I'll take you to see the teacher. If you need to ask for leave, remember to tell me in advance. If it's really urgent, you need to send someone to inform him." “Students understand.” "Okay, please feel free to walk around the academy and take a look around. Just don't disturb others." Upon hearing that, Liang Qu went in and took a walk. The yard contained a simple pond, a bamboo forest, a small pavilion, and a stone table and stone benches in the pavilion. It is almost the standard landscape of a college, and there are several small rooms like classrooms, with a total of about sixty people, some reading and some writing. After taking a walk and getting familiar with the environment, Liang Qu returned to the martial arts hall and started the second round of skin refining of the day in the quiet room. After two or three days of skin training, Liang Qu found that his physical fitness was much better than he had imagined. Unlike what Hu Qi said that he could condense blood and qi twice a day, he could completely refine it three times a day! And the qi and blood that can be fully condensed is no longer as thick as an index finger, but as thick as a thumb! Thinking that Qi and blood are the result of physical fitness, not the cause, Liang Qu guessed that it might be because the degree of fusion of Ze Ling reached more than 40, and the improvement in physical fitness brought about was not completely converted into Qi and blood. If it could be squeezed out at that time, the Qi in the chest could become stronger. Therefore, my recovery ability and physical fitness are much better than others at the same stage. The benefit brought about by this is that after this skin refining, the skin and fascia feel very different, as if a qualitative change is imminent. Judging from the current progress, we can break through in just two or three days? Unable to suppress his inner joy, Liang Qu suppressed his fatigue and continued to stand in the stance, looking forward to the moment of breaking through as soon as possible. In the evening, Li Libo knocked on the door: "Ah Shui, someone is looking for you at the door. It's Lin Songbao."
"coming." Liang Qu put away his posture, picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off his face, changed his clothes, straightened his clothes and walked out of the room. After leaving the house, Li Libo was a little curious: "What does Lin Songbao want you to do?" "His father should know that I was accepted as a personal disciple by Master Yang and wants to treat me to a meal." Li Libo's eyes lit up: "That's great. Isn't Lin Songbao's father the owner of the fishing station? You can talk to him and ask him if we can give him a higher price when we sell fish in the future." "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
