Origin Chapter 350: grinding

Wu Zhongyuan opened the package, took out the trunk and the bundle of branches, and looked at each one. After getting the iron tree, he had made a simple trim to the iron tree. After more than two months of storage in the shade, the trunk and branches were dry. Dehydration, the hardness is improved, and the color is more profound and restrained.

Because the iron tree is very hard and does not contain much water, the trunk and branches are not bent and deformed after drying and dehydration, and all the previously trimmed wool can be used.

After inspecting them one by one, he left a branch, and the rest was still wrapped and returned to the furnace. He also brought all kinds of grinding tools.

The previous bark was not very clean and had to be rubbed off. The branches are not perfectly straight either, they have to be ground straight. Due to the tough texture of the iron tree, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to refine and polish it, but Wu Zhongyuan enjoys it. He grinds it for a while, touches it, and has a look. He has calculated before that the branch can polish fifteen arrows, and the trunk can make a bow. There is still a lot left behind, and twenty-one arrows can be polished, for a total of thirty-six arrows. It is necessary to ensure that all of them are polished and formed, and there can be no defective products.

He has Wu Kuo's memory in his mind. Wu Kuo is not only the archer of the bear clan, but also the best archer among the three clans. The thickness and length of the arrowhead, as well as the weight of the arrow, are all well understood. There is an optimal ratio between various data. Since the iron tree is much denser than ordinary wood, if you want to create a golden ratio, the arrow shaft is It should be a little thinner than the shaft of an ordinary bow, the so-called little, maybe only about half a millimeter.

Wu Zhongyuan was concentrating on polishing, and Li Bie was concentrating on practicing Qi, but soon she lost her focus. Because Tieshu was too tough, the sound of grinding with a file was similar to that of a knife, and the stone chamber was relatively airtight. There were echoes, chirps, chirps, which disturbed her and it was difficult for her to meditate.

Everyone is curious, and Li Bie is no exception, but she did not show much interest in Tieshu, but was very puzzled by Wu Zhongyuan's concentration and immersion in it. This obsession is a manifestation of ecstasy.

Li Biebei didn't say much, but he was curious and puzzled, and didn't ask any questions, just watched quietly from the side.

After Li Tai and Li Ding left, Wu Zhongyuan began to polish it. He didn't eat or drink, and he spent a whole day busy. Only after the arrow was completely polished and formed, could he stroke and look with satisfaction.

"You're putting the cart before the horse," said Li Bie.

Hearing Li Bie's words, Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at her.

Li Bie said, "Cultivation of Qi is the right way, and it is wrong to be obsessed with foreign objects."

At this time, there is no such thing as playing with things and losing one's mind, but Li Bie roughly means this. Wu Zhongyuan can feel Li Bie's kindness, but he does not agree with Li Bie's statement. Sharp weapons, spiritual qi cultivation is important, but handy weapons are also essential. In the era I lived in, there was an idiom called as a tiger with wings, having a handy weapon is equivalent to giving wings to a ferocious tiger.”

Women's perspective on problems is different from that of men. Wu Zhongyuan wanted to express the importance of a good weapon to a person, but Li Bie was interested in the time when Wu Zhongyuan lived, "Where did you originally live? ?"

Libei's question stumped Wu Zhongyuan. It is difficult for a person who has never been in contact with modern society to understand what modern society is like. Similar questions were asked by Wu Di and Jiang Nan, and he also tried to explain Yes, but the two of them were at a loss. Explaining to Li Bie was afraid that it would be more difficult. It wasn't that Li Bie was not smart enough, but that she had mental problems, or at least autistic tendencies.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning, Li Bie didn't ask any more questions. He gave Wu Zhongyuan a bowl of cooked porridge and rice, and then went back to sit and continued to meditate.

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of a way to express it that Li Bie could understand intuitively, so he had no choice but to say, "I originally lived in a very far away place, and there is a big difference from here, unless I have seen it with my own eyes, otherwise Even if I say it, you can't imagine it."

Li Bie had already started practicing Qi, and when she heard Wu Zhongyuan's words, she didn't respond. It wasn't that she was angry, but that she couldn't meditate and practice Qi for a day. She felt that she was slack and finally calmed down, she thought. Take the time to breathe.

But this is just her wishful thinking, and it didn't take long for Wu Zhongyuan to start chirping again.

Once a person rejects a certain sound, he will gradually form a conditioned reflex, which will become more and more intolerable. Wu Zhongyuan has been laughing for a day, and Li Bie is no longer simply rejecting this kind of sound. Feared, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, opened the stone door and walked out.

It was very hot in the stone room, and after a day of holding it in, Wu Zhongyuan also wanted to go out to get some air, so he followed him out with a file and branches. Seeing Li Bie meditating cross-legged from under the tree, he did not approach her, but went far away. went.

Li Bie knew that Wu Zhongyuan went to the top of the mountain, and he never got up to stop him. The reason why Wu Zhongyuan stayed here was because he didn't want to go, not because he couldn't.

At this time, it was the second watch, and Wu Zhongyuan came back at the fourth watch. He was not polishing the arrow shaft all the time during these two watches. He also took time to turn around from the vicinity and brought back a lot of wild fruits. Also caught a few fish.

Giving Li Bie the fruit, she didn't accept it, so after a few words of persuasion, Li Bie reluctantly accepted it.

The fish was made by Wu Zhongyuan and distributed to Li Bie. Li Bie refused to eat it. After persuading her, she also ate it.

Getting along day and night, will definitely become more and more familiar. Even people with serious autism like Li Bie, who have been in contact for a long time and become acquainted with each other, will gradually let down their guards and talk more slowly, but more is only Relatively speaking, I used to be able to speak without speaking, but now it is much better, and I can answer five or six if I ask ten questions.

Conversation is the way to communicate, and it is also the premise of communication. After more conversations with Li Bie, the relationship between the two is getting better and better. .

As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are dark. Wu Zhongyuan is a very optimistic person, and Li Bie is gradually becoming cheerful with him. It is not very accurate to describe cheerfulness. , Wu Zhongyuan took her out to pick persimmons, and she would go too. Wu Zhongyuan went to the river to catch fish, and she would pick it up from the shore.

But most of the time, the two are not together, because Wu Zhongyuan has to polish the shaft, and Li Bie has never slackened his qi training.

Wu Zhongyuan usually stays in the stone room. His spiritual energy cannot be improved in a short period of time, but he needs to continue to absorb fire energy to consolidate the fire dragon's true energy. Li Bie is outside most of the time, and the spiritual energy in the stone room is thin. Practicing Qi in the stone room is twice the result with half the effort.

It's not difficult to get along with Li Bie, as long as you don't ask about the bird clan and her own situation, but Li Bie is not old-fashioned and curious, but she is suppressed most of the time .

It took 12 days to polish the fifteen branches. After that, only the trunk of the iron tree was left. The trunk was relatively thick and needed to be cut open, and a part of it was used as the bow body, and the rest was still polished for arrows.

Anyone who knows a little about physics knows that hardness and toughness are not the same concept. Tieshu is not hard in the true sense. Can be slowly sawed.

In addition, the most resilient part of the tree is not the center of the tree. The center of the tree is often soft. The trunk is cut in two sections, and the long section is cut vertically to get the bow body, and the remaining parts are polished for arrows.

Unconsciously at the beginning of the month, someone came, but Li Tai didn't come. It was Li Ding who came to deliver food to the two.

Li Ding didn't stay for too long and left after a brief conversation with Li Bie.

Li Ding and Li Bie did not shy away from Wu Zhongyuan when they talked to him. The short conversation can be roughly divided into two parts. One is that Li Tai asked Li Bie to look at him because she was the person Li Tai believed most, and He is related to the rise and fall of the bird clan, and he must be inseparable and strictly guarded. The second is that the Niu Clan is negotiating with the Bear Clan, trying to get back the White Dragon Pill.

The conversation between Li Ding and Li Bie lasted for less than five minutes. After Li Ding left, Wu Zhongyuan kept frowning. It seemed that something was wrong, but he couldn't say for a while what was wrong.

Previously, the two picked a lot of persimmons and kept them on the slate behind to bake and dehydrate them. Before Li Ding came, Li Bie put away the persimmons. After Li Ding left, Li Bie put the persimmons away again. After setting it up, the remaining two were brought back, and one of them was eaten by himself. The larger one was handed to Wu Zhongyuan, "It's very sweet."

Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Li Bie, who handed it over again.

Seeing the friendliness and closeness on Li Bie's face, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly realized that he finally knew what was wrong. He underestimated Li Tai. In fact, when Li Tai came here last time, he already knew that he was the one who fought with Wu Ao. , The reason why Wu Ao directed and acted was to stabilize him.

Don't underestimate people in high positions. Li Tai is not stupid. When Li Tai came over the last time he found that he was still here, he was really surprised, but this kind of surprise was clear to him. The surprise that he could not come back but came back was not the surprise that he was trapped here, but there was another surprise that he appeared in the fight between Youxiong and Wu Ao.

Thinking in a different position, Li Tai found out that he was back, and immediately thought why he was back? When he was imprisoned here, Li Tai and others didn't know that he would take the opportunity to cultivate the fire dragon infuriating here, but when the bird tribe dispatched Xiong's fine work to inform Li Tai about his fight with Wu Ao, Li Tai knew He has already practiced the fire dragon infuriating energy. Since he has already practiced the fire dragon infuriating energy, he has no motive to stay here any longer. If so, why would he come back?

There is only one reasonable reason, that is, he doesn't want to implicate Li Bie...
