Chapter 640 Zhou Jin’s identity as daughter-in-law!
"Grandpa, wait!"
Ye Mu smiled sheepishly, "You should at least give me a demonstration first, right?"
"Hahahaha... I was negligent, I was negligent. This is Grandpa's fault."
Xiahou Xuan had just opened the door to the refining room when Ye Mu called him.
He turned back and picked up the 999-jin golden hammer. "Put a handful of peanuts on the casting table. I'll only show you once, so watch carefully."
Ye Mu was straightforward and placed a handful of peanuts on the casting table.
"Remember, the gestures for holding a hammer can be divided into upright grip, with the palm facing the chest; forward grip, with the palm facing down and the wrist straight; and reverse grip, with the palm facing up." Xiahou Xuan held the 999-jin Xuanjin Hammer and demonstrated to Ye Mu over and over again.
"I remember." Ye Mu nodded.
"besides."
Xiahou Xuan continued to demonstrate, "The three ways of holding the hammer I just mentioned can also be divided into 'tight grip' and 'loose grip'."
"The key to the tight grip is to grip the hammer handle with your five fingers, with your thumb resting on your index finger, your base of the palm facing the hammer head, and the end of the handle exposed about a finger's width. During the striking and swinging process, your five fingers always grip the hammer handle tightly. This tight grip is suitable for crafting fine tools."
"The key to the loose grip method is to keep your thumb and index finger firmly gripping the hammer handle. When swinging the hammer, the other three fingers should relax in the order of pinky, ring, and middle fingers. When striking, tighten and close the grip in the opposite order. This method protects the fingers from fatigue and produces a greater striking force, making it suitable for crafting tool embryos."
Xiahou Xuan carefully demonstrated and explained the key points. "How is it? Can you remember it?"
"It's not difficult." Ye Mu smiled.
"Yes, it's not difficult." Xiahou Xuan chuckled. "However, if you want to swing the hammer perfectly and have each hammer hit the target perfectly, you still need to master the three key points of hammer swinging."
"Please be frank, Grandpa." Ye Mu has developed a strong interest in refining equipment.
"The three key points of swinging a hammer are wrist swing, elbow swing, and arm swing..." Every time Xiahou Xuan made a move, he would repeatedly demonstrate it to Ye Mu. He also liked Ye Mu as his disciple from the bottom of his heart.
"Grandpa, are these the Wild Wave Hammer Techniques created by the God of War Huayang?" Ye Mu asked.
"Of course not."
Xiahou Xuan shook his head. "What I just described is only the most common and practical method. If you want to learn the Wild Wave Hammer Technique, you'd better knock out a thousand peanuts without any external damage first. Remember, in three days."
After saying that, he began to swing the golden hammer in his hand quickly.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
After a series of bangs, the handful of shelled peanuts that Ye Mu placed on the casting table were all smashed to pieces, and the peanut shells were shattered into pieces, but the peanuts remained intact.
This result made Ye Mu admit defeat.
This kind of hammering method can be called the master of weapon refining, and it is definitely not an exaggeration.
"Okay, that's it, let's start practicing."
Xiahou Xuan put down the golden hammer, thought about whether there was anything he had forgotten to tell Ye Mu, and then left the refining room.
Ye Mu let out another long sigh.
Xiahou Xuan was trying to teach him how to control his strength.
It was really difficult for him to use a hammer weighing more than 300 pounds to crack open these thin peanut shells one by one without damaging the peanuts inside.
Of course, he could understand Xiahou Xuan's intentions towards him.
However, this matter is not as simple as imagined.
He calmed down for a moment, then took out a few shelled peanuts and placed them on the casting table.
"Bang!"
Ye Mu simply dragged the golden hammer down gently, and the peanut in the shell was crushed into a bean cake.
"Bang...Bang..."
Ye Mu did not give up. After smashing dozens of peanuts in shells, none of them remained intact and all turned into bean cakes.
Ye Mu seemed to have anticipated this result. He put down the golden hammer and smiled bitterly.
If he didn't find the right method and just kept smashing it, he'd probably end up with a bean cake shape...
So he sat cross-legged and gradually calmed down.
He began to recall the various methods and techniques of holding the hammer that Xiahou Xuan had told him.
at the same time.
Zhongshan City.
This city, which belongs to the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is far more magnificent than other cities, both in terms of streets and buildings.
Imperial Palace, back garden.
A middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes is looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back.
He was dressed in a yellow robe with dragon patterns on it. Both his aura and the aura emanating from his body were enough to show that he was a powerful being of the supreme realm.
He is none other than Zhou Jin, the head of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In front of him, kneeling on one knee was a tall and strong man, who was none other than General Monta of Qianshi Fortress.
When Monta fabricated a lie to Zhou Jin about what happened in Dark Stone City, he thought he could wait for reinforcements, but he was captured by two of Zhou Jin's close bodyguards and taken to Zhongshan City.
"Meng Ta, your Meng family is full of loyal and brave people. Do you want to ruin your Meng family's reputation with your actions?" Zhou Jin was silent for a while, still looking at the sky, but his voice was particularly low and cold.
"Every word I say is true. If the emperor doesn't believe me, he can go to Qianshi Fortress to find out in person." Monta promised Ye Mu that he would not reveal any news about Ye Mu, so he made up a lie.
He lied that he was a powerful supreme being who rescued the workers in the mines in Dark Stone City and sent them to the Thousand Stone Fortress, then left quietly.
Zhou Jin naturally didn't believe this answer.
Because his son Zhou Huanyu will be getting married in half a month.
In order to ensure that his son's wedding was held as scheduled, he issued a stern order to inform the four major princes in the east, west, south and north, strictly prohibiting war with the invading enemy.
Beiye Hou of the Northern Di land had been in seclusion for many years and handed over all border affairs to Mengta of Qianshi Fortress, so Zhou Jin had personally communicated with Mengta.
Unexpectedly, something he didn't want to see happened in the end.
More than 300 laborers in Dark Stone City were rescued by a mysterious person and sent to Thousand Stone Fortress. Monta even secretly opened the city gate to accept them in!
This incident made him very unhappy!
Also very uneasy.
The Dark Realm people will not give up!
Although he knew that war between the two sides was inevitable.
But his son was getting married in half a month, and he didn't want any unnecessary disputes.
However, all this started when Monta secretly accepted the workers, which disrupted his plan.
"Your Majesty, I have informed more than 300 laborers that the person behind their rescue this time is none other than you, Your Majesty. So, they are excited about this, and it will only benefit your reputation. He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world." Monta said word by word.
"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world?"
Zhou Jin was slightly startled, then sneered: "This emperor has already won this world! Just over 300 laborers, not enough for me to pay attention to!"
"this……"
Montawan didn't expect that Zhou Jin's temper would become so selfish.
Just ignore more than 300 workers?
These are all living lives!
"Monta, you've already made a huge mistake. There's no point in saying anything more!"
Zhou Jin immediately decided, "Imprison him in the Sky Prison and deal with him later!"
"Emperor!"
Monta's face turned pale. Zhou Jin's behavior was completely beyond his expectations.
He really wanted to curse Zhou Jin!
But in the end, he swallowed his anger.
He has already disregarded life and death. It is better not to follow such an emperor!
After Meng Ta was taken away, Zhou Jin heaved a long sigh. "This abominable fellow, if he weren't a member of the Meng family, this emperor would have executed him immediately!"
He had secretly decided to spare Monta's life.
On the day of his son's wedding in half a month, if the Dark Domainers attack, he will hand over the culprit Monta!
As long as his son's wedding can be held as scheduled, he doesn't care whether he loses his reputation as an emperor or not.
After all, his daughter-in-law is someone from another world!
