Chapter 75: Mountain Ghost? Earth Chicken and Dog!
No.
What about quenching?
What about raw lacquer?
It was said to take three months, why was it finished in half a month?
And little junior brother, I am just a small one-barrier martial artist, can I really take something just out of the fire furnace?
Liang Qu was confused, completely not knowing why the long spear that was said to take three months to build only took half a month. He tentatively asked: "Senior brother, did you forget something?"
Lu Gang was stunned, glanced at the long spear, and showed a sudden realization: "Indeed."
Liang Qu felt relieved. Look, I said you forgot.
Then he saw Lu Gang touch a red tassel from the table on the side, tied it to the spear head, and handed it over again: "This is fine. Actually, yours strictly speaking is not a spear. The spear head is too long, it should be a *shuo*. However, there is no strict distinction between the two, and it doesn't matter if it is tied, it can block blood."
"It's not this matter." Liang Qu was helpless and confessed: "Cao Shixiong Lu, didn't you say before that you have to paint it for two months? What kind of lacquer did you use?"
"That is the ordinary casting method. I didn't think about building a spirit weapon at first, so I didn't think about using raw lacquer. Shadow beast skin is used as a lacquer layer, so raw lacquer is no longer needed. The two are completely grown together, just like a tree growing bark, so it is already finished."
"What about quenching and so on? Don't you need it?"
"Spirit weapons don't need quenching. It can repair itself, and it can self-adjust toughness, hardness, and even the center of gravity."
Lu Gang held the long spear, his wrist turned and played a spear flower, "Your long spear is full of spirituality, almost perfect. Tungsten spear head, ivory white wooden rod, red fire feather generates spirit, shadow beast skin as lacquer. It can be said to be the best finished product since I forged weapons. I hold it as if I can feel a life residing in it, look."
Hearing this, Liang Qu could only sigh at the mystery of the world.
For this spear, Cao Shixiong Lu was afraid that he had paid a lot of money. The favor was owed too much!
There are many precious metals in the Huai River marsh. Cao Shixiong Lu should like them. In the future, let A-Fei and the others find them.
He stretched out his hands and solemnly took the big spear.
Lu Gang let go, and Liang Qu's arms sank slightly.
So heavy!
I'm afraid it's nearly a hundred *jin*!
Ordinary long spears are only two to five *jin*, and only individual fierce generals will use long spears of twenty or thirty *jin*.
The weapon of Guan Er-ye in the *Records of the Three Kingdoms* is said to be eighty *jin*, but in terms of the weight of that time, it is only thirty *jin*.
The big spear in front of him is heavier and heavier than the ones used by famous generals of the past!
Liang Qu stared at the long spear in front of him, and a wonderful sense of response lingered in his heart.
The spear head is twelve inches long!
The blade length of a normal one-handed sword is only twenty-one or twenty-two inches. The spear head in front of him is almost half a sharp sword.
Under the sunlight at noon, faint black-gold colors flickered on the spear edge, as if the spirit weapon was breathing.
The coiled Chi tiger wrapped around the spear neck for a circle. The tiger body turned into flowing clouds, the tiger claws held the spear body tightly, and the tiger mouth was spitting the spear blade. That pair of tiger eyes seemed to be flashing cold light.
This is definitely not a skill that humans can achieve. Perhaps only shadow beast skin can achieve such an effect.
Liang Qu took a deep breath, stroked the spear rod, the ivory white wood should have been delicate and milky white, but after being covered with a layer of beast skin, the color became dark purple like sandalwood, and the hand feel changed greatly, becoming not easy to slip.
"The whole spear is seven feet two inches long, the spear head is twelve inches, and the metal part extending downward is two feet in total. The total weight is ninety-six *jin*. In terms of your current strength, it is long and heavy, but it is not unusable."
All materials were handled by Lu Gang. He knew the specific data without weighing. This weight and length were considered for Liang Qu's height, which would still grow.
Liang Qu nodded. He was not unable to carry nearly a hundred *jin*, and it could even be said that it was not tiring, but as a weapon, the meaning was completely different.
An ordinary adult can dance a two-*jin* one-handed sword, which is very remarkable.
Fortunately, the long spear mainly relies on arm strength, and the long spear with compatible natures is even more like an extension of the body in the hand. As a one-barrier martial artist, the Ze Ling bonus makes Liang Qu stronger than ordinary martial artists, plus the bow strength method, he can barely use it.
"I have a few wooden stakes in the backyard, want to try?"
"Good!"
Liang Qu used to take a wooden stick and ruin wild grass when he was a child, let alone getting such a divine weapon, so he gladly agreed.
Coming to the backyard, several thick wooden stakes tied with rice straw stood there, and there were quite a few broken woods on the side, which seemed to be a place specially used to test weapons.
Liang Qu took a deep breath, operated the strength method, danced the two-meter-five big spear, and slashed towards the wooden stake.
Half a wooden stake fell, making a muffled sound as it landed on the grass.
Damn!
Liang Qu almost burst out swearing.
Just now, he didn't feel any obstruction at all, just like sliding through the air!
Too awesome, Third Cao Shixiong, my male god!
One pole down, I'm afraid it can split a person in half on the spot!
If he had this spear yesterday when facing the Mountain Ghost, even if he didn't stab the weak spot, just slashing, he was afraid he could split the Mountain Ghost's head off!
Another day of blood sacrifice, he will lead the charge!
Lu Gang didn't know what Liang Qu was thinking. He silently pulled out the three wooden stakes, put them together, and pressed the wooden stakes down one-third of the ground with just his palm.
"Try again."
Liang Qu heard this and slashed again. There was a slight sense of stagnation, but it didn't get stuck, and the three wooden stakes were all cut short by a section.
Lu Gang didn't know where he touched an iron rod as thick as an arm and inserted it into the ground: "Try again."
"This..." Liang Qu felt quite distressed.
"What are you afraid of? Spirit weapon gaps only need materials to self-heal, come!"
Liang Qu thought about it and it was right. He still hadn't changed his concept.
Immediately danced the big spear, slashed at the iron rod. This time it didn't break completely, only two-thirds broke.
Fortunately, he used a little force, and the iron rod broke. Looking at the spear head again, it was unscathed.
Slashing is so powerful, what should stabbing be like?
The crab monster's steel-like hard shell at the beginning would have been pierced through, right?
In such a situation, both Liang Qu and Lu Gang were very satisfied.
One was satisfied with his weapon, and the other was satisfied with his masterpiece.
Returning to the room, Lu Gang gave a long wooden box to hold the big spear and a small leather box.
Inside the small leather box were a small piece of tungsten metal, a small piece of ivory white wood, a bottle of golden grease, and a smooth piece of silk.
"Shadow beast skin absorbs blood to self-repair. Other two need materials of the same attribute to repair. I prepared two pieces for you. In addition, remember to use sword oil to maintain and wipe every time you get blood, so as not to be dirty. Everything is inside."
"Thank you, Cao Shixiong Lu! Qu is from a poor family and finds it difficult to repay the kindness. If Cao Shixiong Lu has any errands in the future, I will follow them!"
Liang Qu knew clearly that his red fire mourning feather made Cao Shixiong Lu bleed heavily. Many precious materials were extra added for the spirit weapon, and the cost was doubled three or four times.
It's just that things have been taken, so he can only owe it.
Lu Gang laughed, not thinking that Liang Qu had anything he could help with, but didn't refute: "Okay, if I have anything in the future, I won't be polite."
Liang Qu clasped his fists, bowed low, and then carefully put the treasure into the long wooden box, holding the two boxes to resign.
"Okay, busy for half a month, I should also rest, you go." ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
