Volume 2 Demon Ridge Jingyanggang Chapter 75 The Demonic Tiger Descending the Mountain
For County Magistrate Wu and his men, casting bronze ware using the lost wax method was actually not a rare thing. Even local rich men could make a profit from this kind of thing.
However, there are some little tricks involved in making tiger bone ornaments, and these are where Wang Liang needs to take action.
When the master of Yuanshan Temple lifted up the bronze liquid that had been burned into red copper liquid, Wang Liang naturally stood next to the tiger bones wrapped in mud.
At this time, two small holes have been opened at the foot of the tiger bone, and a place has been opened at the tiger's tail to pour copper liquid into it.
Originally, according to the arrangement of the tiger bone ornament, the hole for pouring the copper liquid should be in the tiger's mouth, but the problem is that Wang Liang is making a mountain tiger. If the copper liquid is only poured from the tiger's mouth with the tiger's head facing downward, only a small part of the tiger bone will be affected by the copper liquid, and the tiger bone ornament will then be considered a failure.
So Wang Liang could only inject copper liquid into it from the Huwei troops.
He kept his attention on the copper liquid. After Master Yuanshan injected the copper liquid, he looked carefully at the body of the descending tiger figurine.
Soon the dried clay mold turned red as the temperature of the copper liquid began to affect the entire clay mold. At the same time, the beeswax, which was already easy to melt, began to flow out from the two small holes under the tiger bone ornament.
Watching the liquid slowly change from the color of wax to bright red, Wang Liang suddenly took action.
He struck the tiger bone ornament with his palm, and the tiger bone ornament roared like a tiger and its body began to vibrate.
The feeling was just like the movement of a large cat shaking out its body after entering and exiting the water.
With this shake, the clay molds originally wrapped around the tiger bone ornaments were shaken away on the spot, revealing the situation underneath.
Everyone saw the tiger bone descending the mountain ornament.
At this moment, in front of everyone, there was a mountain road made of bronze, and a tiger-shaped skeleton as white as jade, pretending to be a tiger descending the mountain, standing on the bronze mountain road.
There is no connection between the tiger-shaped skeletons, but it is quite stable. No matter how it moves, the tiger skeleton shows no sign of falling apart.
After the white smoke from the tiger-shaped skeleton dissipated, County Magistrate Wu rushed to the tiger-shaped skeleton.
"That's it. I saw a tiger bone ornament once, and it looked like this."
At this time, Wang Liang also received the information.
[Ding! You have completed the tiger bone ornament and mastered the preliminary production method of the tiger bone ornament. The tiger bone ornament design disappears.]
[Ding! I found that you don't have a secondary position as a craftsman. Mastering the production method of tiger bone ornaments will be classified as archaeology. Please check the details. ]
Wang Liang was stunned for a moment. Without the deputy position of craftsman, the method of making tiger bone ornaments was attributed to archaeology. What kind of theory was this?
With such doubts, Wang Liang opened his character panel and found an extra + sign under Archaeology.
Clicking down, Wang Liang found that there was an option of paleontological fossil assembly under archaeology.
Here is the method of making the demon tiger descending the mountain ornament.
Now Wang Liang more or less understood what was going on, but he still didn't quite understand what paleontology meant, what fossils were, and why they had to be so troublesome to assemble them.
With doubts in his mind, Wang Liang clicked on the demon tiger descending the mountain ornament.
Afterwards, a hint appeared here about the demon tiger coming down the mountain.
[The demon tiger descends the mountain (tiger-shaped biological skeleton ornament)]
【Quality: Green to Purple】
[Features: All weapons within the range of the ornament (10m to 500m) will temporarily increase their sharpness (attack power increased by 30 to 300), lasting for 1 hour (time out of the ornament range)]
[Note 1: The upper limit of ordinary tiger bones is green, and the quality below green has no special blessing . The upper limit of ancient monster king tiger bones is purple, and this ornament cannot exceed the purple quality level. ]
[Note 2: The method of making tiger bone ornaments can also be used on other ornaments, but please note that many paleontological fossils are of low quality, and high temperatures are likely to destroy the original quality of paleontological fossils.]
After reading this description, Wang Liang knew what was going on. He couldn't help but look at the demon tiger descending the mountain figurine he had just made.
At this time, the corresponding number appeared in his eyes.
[The demon tiger of Tianshangxing descends the mountain (demon tiger skeleton ornament)]
【Quality: Purple】
[Feature 1: All weapons within the range of the ornament (500 meters) will temporarily increase their sharpness attribute (increase attack power by 300), which lasts for 1 hour.]
[Feature 2: Pour wine on the ornament (the effect varies depending on the quality of the wine), which will temporarily increase the upper limit of the health of all soldiers within the range of the ornament (life increases by 300 to 1000), lasting for 1 hour.]
[Feature 3: Destroying the ornament will cause 3000 damage to all enemies within the ornament range at the same time]
[Explanation: This is an ornament made from the soul and bones of the Jingyanggang demon tiger, and it is suppressed by the luck of the people. But no matter what, no one can deny the evil spirit brought by this ornament.]
Wang Liang never imagined that this demon tiger descending the mountain ornament would have such powerful properties. It not only increases the sharpness of the weapon and improves attack power, but also temporarily increases the upper limit of vitality.
Looking at this attribute, Wang Liang was reluctant to hand it over to County Magistrate Wu.
County Magistrate Wu couldn't see the properties of this thing, but he also felt the power of this demon tiger descending the mountain ornament, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
He knew that this year would be his most glorious moment. Once this tiger bone ornament was delivered, the court would surely be shocked. It would not be impossible to even build another Demonic Tiger Hall in Bianliang.
Then he could be transferred out of Yanggu County and promoted to be an official in Henan Province or even other better places.
Naturally, County Magistrate Wu was unwilling to let such a good thing out of his sight.
After making this thing, he asked the county headman and the yamen runners to escort the evil tiger down the mountain and leave first.
Watching the yamen runners carrying the demon tiger down the mountain, Wang Liang no longer had the chance to take another look at it even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, Lu Chenghuang and others came over to say goodbye at this time, which finally dispelled some of Wang Liang’s reluctance.
In addition, Wang Liang also learned one thing from their assurances, that is, this time when Lu Chenghuang returned, he also intended to report Wang Liang's achievements. However, the military exploits they reported needed to be approved and would not come down so quickly. They might be sent together with the military exploits rewards reported by Wu County Magistrate.
Wang Liang doesn't need to wait in Yanggu County for this thing. He can do whatever he wants. As long as he is alive, the reward for military merit will be delivered to him as soon as it comes. There is no need to worry about it being lost along the way.
After hearing this, Wang Liang finally felt relieved. He thought about it and decided not to go to Yanggu County again. He planned to go against the direction of Jingyanggang and visit other cities.
