Chapter 75: Mountain ghost? Earthen chicken and clay dog!
No.
What about quenching?
What about raw lacquer?
It was said to be completed in March, how come it was completed in just half a month?
And, little junior brother, I’m just a lowly first-level warrior. Can I really catch something that just came out of the furnace?
Liang Qu was confused, not knowing why it took only half a month to make the spear, which was supposed to take three months to make. He asked tentatively, "Brother, did you forget something?"
Lu Gang was stunned for a moment, glanced at the spear, and revealed a look of sudden enlightenment: "Indeed."
Liang Qu felt relieved and said, "See, I said I forgot about it."
Then he saw Lu Gang take a red tassel from the table beside him, tie it to the tip of the spear, and hand it over again: "That's good. Actually, strictly speaking, this isn't a spear. The tip of the spear is too long, so it should be considered a lance. However, there is no strict distinction between the two. It won't matter if you tie it on. It can block the blood."
"It's not about that." Liang Qu had no choice but to ask frankly, "Brother Lu, didn't you say before that it would take another two months to paint something? What kind of paint did you use?"
"That's the ordinary casting method. I didn't expect to make a spiritual weapon, so I didn't think of using shadow beast skin. With shadow beast skin as the lacquer layer, there is no need for raw lacquer. The two are completely grown together, just like a tree grows bark, so it's already good."
"What about quenching? Isn't that necessary?"
"Spiritual weapons do not need quenching. They can repair themselves and adjust their toughness, hardness and even center of gravity."
Lu Gang held the spear and turned his wrist to perform a gun flower. "This spear of yours is full of spirituality and almost perfect. It has a tungsten gold spear head, an ivory wood shaft, a red fire feather creature, and shadow beast skin as paint. It can be said to be the best product I have ever made. When I hold it, I can feel that there is a life living in it. Take a look."
Hearing this, Liang Qu could only sigh at the mystery of the world.
In order to get this gun, Senior Brother Lu probably spent a lot of money on materials, so he owes me a huge favor!
There are many precious metals in the Jianghuai swamps. I think Senior Brother Lu will like them. I’ll have to let Ah Fei and the others look for them in the future.
He stretched out his hands and solemnly took the rifle.
As soon as Lu Gang let go, Liang Qu's arms sank slightly.
Good weight!
I’m afraid it’s nearly 100 kilograms!
An ordinary spear weighs only two to five pounds, and only a few powerful generals will use a spear weighing twenty to thirty pounds.
In the novel, it is said that Guan Erye's weapon weighed 80 kilograms, but in reality it was only about 30 kilograms based on the weight at that time.
The spear in front of me is heavier than any other spear used by famous generals in ancient times!
Liang Qu stared at the spear in front of him, a strange sense of resonance lingering in his heart.
The gun tip is twelve inches long!
The normal length of a one-handed sword blade is only twenty-one or twenty-two inches, and the spear head in front of him is almost half of a sword.
The shape is very special, it is more like a lance than a gun.
However, there is no strict distinction between guns, lances and spears, and they have never been seriously defined.
The concepts of soft rod, hard rod and gun tip are all later conclusions, but they can all be refuted in classics.
Under the midday sun, a faint black-gold color flickered on the gun blade.
The coiled Chihu wrapped around the neck of the spear, its body turned into flowing clouds, its claws tightly grasped the spear body, its mouth spitted out the spear blade, and its pair of tiger eyes actually seemed to be flashing with 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 and gently stroked the gun barrel. The ivory wood should have been delicate and milky white, but after being covered with a layer of animal skin, the color turned into a dark purple like rosewood. The feel also changed greatly, like a thick rubber texture, and it became difficult to slip out of the hand.
"The entire spear is seven feet and five centimeters long, the spear head is twelve inches, and the metal part extending downward is two feet and two centimeters long. The total weight is ninety-six kilograms. With my current strength, it is a bit long and heavy, but it is not unusable."
All the materials were handled by Lu Gang, so he knew the specific data without weighing them. The weight and length were taken into consideration as Liang Qu would grow taller.
Liang Qu nodded. It was not that he could not carry the weight of nearly 100 kilograms. It could even be said that he was not tired. But as a weapon, it had a completely different meaning.
It is quite remarkable for a normal adult to be able to wield a two-kilogram one-handed sword.
Fortunately, the spear does not rely much on arm strength, and the spear with its combined strength is like an extension of the body in the hand. As a first-level warrior, the bonus of Ze Ling makes Liang Qu stronger than the average warrior, and with the added support of the bow force method, he can barely use it.
"I have a few wooden stakes in my backyard, go give it a try?" "Okay!"
When Liang Qu was a child, he had to use a wooden stick to kill weeds, let alone such a magical weapon, so he readily agreed.
When we arrived at the backyard, we saw several thick wooden stakes tied with straw, and a lot of broken wood lying beside them. It seemed to be a place specially used for testing weapons.
Liang Qu took a deep breath, exerted his strength, and swung the two-meter-and-a-half-meter-long spear toward the wooden stake.
Chopping, covering, intercepting, blocking, lifting, clouding, carrying, rushing, smashing, stabbing, and picking, there is no problem with this spear shape.
Half of the wooden stake fell and landed on the grass with a dull thud.
Grass!
Liang Qu almost burst into swear words.
When he chopped down just now, he didn't feel any obstruction at all, it was like cutting through the air!
So awesome, Third Brother, my idol!
If the stick hits him with one strike, he might be split in half right on the spot!
If he had this gun when facing the mountain ghost yesterday, even if he didn't stab the weak spot, he would probably be able to chop off the mountain ghost's head just by slashing!
At another blood sacrifice, he will lead the charge!
Lu Gang didn't know what Liang Qu was thinking. He silently pulled out three wooden stakes, put them together, and pressed the stakes one-third of the way into the ground with just his palms.
"try again."
Upon hearing this, Liang Qu swung the pole again. There was a slight sense of stagnation, but it did not get stuck. The three wooden stakes all shortened.
Lu Gang took out an iron rod as thick as his forearm from somewhere and stuck it into the ground: "Try again."
"This" Liang Qu felt quite distressed.
"What are you afraid of? As long as there are materials, the wounds on the spiritual weapon can heal themselves. Come on!"
Liang Qu thought about it and it made sense, but he still hadn't changed his mind.
He immediately swung his spear and chopped down the iron rod. This time he didn't cut it completely, only two-thirds of it.
Fortunately, the iron rod broke with a little force, and the gun tip was intact.
If chopping is so powerful, what about stabbing?
The crab monster's steel-like shell must have been pierced through, right?
Both Liang Qu and Lu Gang were very satisfied with this situation.
One is satisfied with his weapon, the other is satisfied with his masterpiece.
Back in the house, Lu Gang gave out a long wooden box containing a large gun and a small leather box.
Inside the small leather box was a small piece of tungsten, a small piece of ivory wood, a bottle of golden oil, and a piece of smooth silk.
"The shadow beast hide can repair itself by absorbing blood. The other two require materials of the same properties to repair. I'll prepare two for you. Also, every time you get blood on it, remember to use sword oil to maintain and wipe it to avoid stains. Everything is inside."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu! I was born in poverty and cannot repay your kindness. If Senior Brother Lu has any orders in the future, I will obey you without hesitation!"
Liang Qu knew that his Red Fire Mourning Feather had cost Senior Brother Lu a lot of money. Many precious materials were added for the spiritual weapon, and the cost was tripled or quadruple.
But since I have already taken the things, I can only owe them.
Lu Gang laughed. He didn't think Liang Qu could help him in any way, but he didn't refute him. "Okay, I won't be polite if I have anything to do with you in the future."
Liang Qu clasped his fists and bowed deeply, then carefully placed the treasure into a long wooden box and said goodbye while holding the two boxes.
"Okay, I've been busy for half a month, so I need to take a break. You can go ahead."
