John took Ge Xiaohua to many temples, such as Tofukuji Temple, Kinkakuji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple, etc. in Kyoto, and saw the ancient local architectural styles. These temples are well preserved and cost a lot of money to maintain, rebuild and attract people every year.

The tourists coming and going made Ge Xiaohua feel that he was in ancient times. The architectural style with a classical meaning, although it was influenced by Chinese architecture, also has its own uniqueness. At least in terms of preservation, rb has done a good job.

After traveling around, Ge Xiaohua thought a lot. You can't understand this feeling unless you have been to Kyoto.

In Yamamoto Town, 30 kilometers away from Kyoto, there lives a huge blacksmithing family with a history of 1,000 years. It is said that during the Warring States Period, the Yamamoto family used this as their base camp to extend their territory.

The Yamamoto family, which has strong forging technology, relied on its forging skills to make its fortune. It can be imagined how superb its skills are that can continue to this day. Now the Yamamoto family is not limited to RB, but has also recruited many outside disciples around the world, and John is one of them.

one.

During the filming process, the head of the Yamamoto family appeared, and Ge Xiaohua also saw Master Yamamoto Masayasu up close for the first time. He was an old man about 60 years old, wearing a Japanese kimono, wearing wooden clogs, with a solemn expression, and leading a crowd

The inner disciples slowly entered the sacrificial hall.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was solemn. No one spoke, and they didn't even dare to breathe. Master Masayasu Yamamoto was speaking a string of sacrificial words. Ge Xiaohua couldn't understand a word of it, but he felt it was very solemn.

"It's not easy for a blacksmith to do this job. How can there be such a scene in China." Ge Xiaohua knew that blacksmiths in China were just making a living, but in Japan they were upper-class people with disciples and former officials all over the world. Only those who could come in to offer sacrifices

The inner disciples are all top sword forging masters in RB and even the world.

In his heart, Ge Xiaohua planned to stand up and challenge Yamamoto Masayasu in a very modest way, but in this environment, jumping out would undoubtedly be embarrassing. It was not just an embarrassment for his person, but also for representing a country, which is still very sensitive, not to mention this

The second time was that John invited him privately, out of good intentions. Ge Xiaohua could not embarrass John.

After Yamamoto Masayasu and others completed the sacrifice, the head of the family, Yamamoto Masayasu, did not preside over the forging, but left the scene. What remained was an inner disciple, Yamamoto Masayasu's second son, Yamamoto Yuji, who was 30 years old.

Yuuji’s forging skills are already unique

It turns out that John was mentored by Yuji Yamamoto, and he was also called Mr. Yuji Yamamoto. Yuji Yamamoto, who once studied at Harvard University in the United States, was not only a registered blacksmith and knife forging master, but also a master of science in advanced engineering materials from Harvard University. He was a veritable academic master.

"Teacher, long time no see. How have you been?" John respectfully handed Yamamoto Yuji his luggage and said with a bow. Although Yamamoto Yuji is younger in age, he can indeed dominate in terms of forging technology, not to mention theory and practice.

Yamamoto Yuji, who has reached a peak, is proud of himself.

"John, you don't have to be polite. We will try our best to cooperate with you during this filming. Now look at Yugang." Yamamoto Yuji spoke fluent English, pure American English without an accent. It can be seen that he is indeed a top student.

The top students studying abroad at Harvard in the United States are different.

Yamamoto Yuji's status in the family is still very high, and he is mainly responsible for external activities. His brother is more traditional, mainly inheriting his father's skills. His brother is better in sword forging technology, but he is

He has no contact with foreigners and only deals with family matters.

Yamamoto Masayasu's two sons, one internally and one externally, made the Yamamoto family develop extremely rapidly.

Yamamoto Yuuji has a gentle appearance, a pair of round eyes, and is extremely thin. This may be because he looks very much in contrast to John, nicknamed Brown Bear. When he met him outside, he thought he was a scholar, but aside from his profession as a blacksmith,

,Yamamoto Yuji was originally a top student.

Yamamoto Yuji, who carefully checked the quality of the jade steel, also took a magnifying glass and observed every detail of the fine iron. For about half an hour, Yamamoto Yuji nodded and said: "The requirements for forging a samurai sword have been met, and the furnace can be opened for forging."

After hearing this, the two disciples behind Yamamoto Yuji moved the jade steel away to the forging room.

The group came to the forging studio. Yamamoto Yuji threw the jade steel into the furnace, and then performed the first forging. With the sound of a hammer, the jade steel was beaten into pieces of silver iron.

During the beating process, Yamamoto Yuji was the one in control of the overall situation. He observed the changes in the furnace jade steel. When it reached the level of forging, he would use pliers to pick it out and let his disciples beat it. He would shout out during the beating process.

, making the momentum like a rainbow, Ge Xiaohua can feel it even while standing.

"As expected of a forging family, the control of the fire is extremely good. Yamamoto Yuji is like a general, controlling everything. All the hard work and physical work are left to his disciples, while the core ones are controlled by himself."

Ge Xiaohua does all the work by himself. Seeing Yamamoto Yuji's forging method, he looks a little envious, but everyone has his own method, and Ge Xiaohua doesn't know how to learn it. The main reason is that he doesn't have the strength to recruit disciples.

.

Those who can help Yamamoto Yuji are undoubtedly the elites of the inner sect. As a direct descendant, Yamamoto Yuji's status is only slightly inferior to that of Yamamoto Masayasu and Yamamoto Yudai, but he has absolute say in external affairs.

When Ge Xiaohua heard that the second-in-command of the Yamamoto family was called Yamamoto Yudai, he was a little stunned, but it was understandable. They all have the same seniority, the eldest is Yudai, and the second oldest is Yudai. Isn't it normal?

Pieces of jade steel were gathered together, carefully wrapped in paper, and then covered with clay, ashes, etc. Ge Xiaohua knew that this was to prevent oxidation.

Put the jade steel into the stove and heat it until it reaches the level of melting. When the temperature rises to 1300 degrees, a small piece of jade steel melts into one.

Yamamoto Yuji immediately pulled Yugang out of the stove and shouted: "Knock!"

"Pah! Pah!" Two of Yamamoto Yuji's disciples picked up sledgehammers and beat them rhythmically. Their efficiency was no worse than that of air hammers, and they also controlled the temperature.

"The collaboration ability of the RB people has to be admired." Ge Xiaohua thought to himself, what makes Yamamoto Yuji so good is his perfect control over the heat and temperature, and he is a commander who can control the overall situation.

The first forging creates a blade blank, which is then folded and forged to fully remove the impurities in the jade steel and allow the carbon element to be better integrated into the steel.

This forging process was very hard. Two disciples forged for a period of time, and then two more disciples came to help replace them, so that the strength did not slacken during the forging. The controller, Yamamoto Yuji, was always present, although he was not there.

No matter how hard he works, he is the hardest working person.
