Origin Chapter 355: The magic weapon
Due to being overly nervous, it took a long time for Wu Zhongyuan to come back to his senses, and the feeling of joy began to surface in his heart. In this trip, he not only got the purple fire grease to raise the temperature of the furnace, but also got dragon tendons that match the iron tree. Bowstring, really kills two birds with one stone, as one wishes.
But the feeling of joy didn't last long before it was diluted by guilt and self-blame. Things are good things, but they came from a wrong way. This oil lamp is the ever-bright lamp in the ancestral grave of the Yi people, but I stole it and took it for myself. Yes, this kind of behavior is a kind of self-serving benefit.
But in a flash, guilt and self-blame were driven away by reason. If the five seals are removed, this place will become an enemy-occupied area, and anything in the enemy-occupied area will be used by the enemy. It was the five evil spirits who did not take this oil lamp. It is a serious waste to put the oil lamp in the ancestral tomb of the Yi people. You must know that what he did was not for his own personal gain, but was equivalent to performing official duties, defending against the invasion of the five paths, and ensuring that the world would not be attacked. The Five Ways Trample Slavery is his mission, and to ensure that the mission can be accomplished, he can enlist whatever he needs.
Everyone should work hard to be a good person, but there is no need to be harsh on yourself with the standard of a saint. No one's conduct is flawless. If you blindly pursue the absolute purity of conduct, you will fall into a meaningless situation. It is impossible to extricate oneself in the entanglement, and even worry about gains and losses.
There are a lot of rags left in the stone room, but Wu Zhongyuan didn't use the rags to wipe the dragon tendons, but cut a clean cloth from the quilt and carefully wiped the grease on the dragon tendons, because the dragon tendons had been soaked before. In the grease, the grease has been deeply soaked in it, and it is still greasy after rubbing it several times.
While wiping the dragon tendon, Wu Zhongyuan was also carefully looking at the dragon tendon. The oil in the dragon tendon and the oil lamp should come from the same dragon-shaped creature. The reason why it is said to be a dragon-like creature rather than a snake-like creature It was because he had seen the vision when the oil lamp was lit before. The shape of the firelight was a winding and agile little dragon. This flaming little dragon must have been the shape and shape of the dragon-shaped creature when it was alive.
There is a simple and intuitive criterion for distinguishing between true dragons and dragon-like creatures, and that is to see whether the dragon has claws, and the flame dragon has four claws, which means that it is undoubtedly a true dragon.
Due to the lapse of many years, how the ancestors of the Yi people hunted and killed a real dragon has not been able to explore and research, but the oil in the dragon tendon and the oil lamp is definitely from the real dragon, and it is precisely because These two things come from real dragons, so the grease can emit a higher temperature, and the dragon tendons have stronger toughness and can withstand greater pulling force than ordinary dragon tendons.
After roughly wiping the dragon tendons, Wu Zhongyuan took the piece of cycads used for the bow and wiped them carefully with a cloth stained with grease. The purpose of this was not to make the cycads look brighter and smoother. But in order to improve the toughness of the iron tree, it needs to be bundled and shaped. After the iron tree is attached to the grease, the brittleness will be reduced, and the toughness will be better when bending, and it is not easy to break.
After half wiping, he suddenly remembered that there was still a small hole in the oil lamp after the wick was drawn out. Although the grease was not easy to evaporate, he tore off the cloth and plugged the small hole.
When Li Bie came back, Wu Zhongyuan was grinding the grooves at both ends of the bow and arrow to fix the dragon tendons. Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, Wu Zhongyuan looked up at Li Bie, "Why so fast? What time is it outside now?"
"At dawn." Li Bie walked over to Wu Zhongyuan.
"I didn't mean to leave you," Wu Zhongyuan explained, "I didn't want them to..."
Before Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Li Bie shook his head and said, "They have already seen me."
Seeing that Li Bie had a worried look on her face, Wu Zhongyuan guessed what she was worried about, so he said with relief, "Don't worry, there is no evidence or basis, they just go to the theory with the bird clan, and there will be no result."
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Li Bie nodded, then stared at the oil lamp Wu Zhongyuan put aside, "What are you doing with their oil lamps?"
"I want to make a bow and arrow, and I need to use the dragon tendon wick inside," Wu Zhongyuan said casually, and then added, "The lamp oil in the oil lamp is also very useful."
Because what Wu Zhongyuan said was too brief, Li Bie didn't quite understand it, but she did not continue to ask, but squatted down and took a close look at the oil lamp, and then looked at the plate that had been eaten by Wu Zhongyuan. Wipe clean the dragon tendon on the side.
"Why is this dragon tendon purple?" Li Bie asked.
"I don't know." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he didn't know why the dragon tendon was purple. After all, he had never seen the dragon tendon of a real dragon.
"Did you take anything else from them?" Li Bie asked again.
Wu Zhongyuan is busy with his head down, "No."
Li Bie didn't ask any more, got up and walked to the door, sat down on his bed, and quietly watched Wu Zhongyuan dawdling on the grooves used to fix the bowstrings.
The grinding of the grooves is also very labor-intensive, the grinding is shallow, and the binding is not strong enough. Grinding deeply, it may break after being stressed.
In addition, the size of the groove for tying the bowstring must also be closely combined with the dragon tendon, which has a certain extensibility. It must be ensured that the dragon tendon can still be stuck in the groove and not move back and forth when the bow is thinned. .
Because it is always necessary to think ahead, the progress is very slow. When he realized that he was a little tired, Wu Zhongyuan suspended the work at hand and lay down and rested. will be greatly reduced, and it is also prone to errors and deviations.
Wake up and then work hard. After grinding the grooves at both ends, start to shape the reverse bow. The so-called reverse bow means that both ends of the bow body need to be bent in the opposite direction, so as to ensure that the bow string will not fall off when the bow is opened. , which acts as a blocking and fixed insurance.
Although the progress is very slow, his movements are very skillful and methodical. If he were someone else, he would definitely ask him why he was so good at making bows and arrows, but Li Bie was also very curious, but he did not ask any questions. He was busy in Wu Zhongyuan. During the time, she didn't say anything to disturb her. Most of the time, she closed her eyes and practiced Qi, and occasionally opened her eyes and just watched quietly.
The trunk of the iron tree is about the thickness of a bowl when it is not peeled and polished. Even after peeling and dehydration, it has the thickness of a fist. The iron tree used for the bow is not a complete trunk, but a part of the trunk. Filling it with aura can slowly bend it, tie one end first, and then tie the other end after it is bent to the desired arc.
While bending, Wu Zhongyuan kept his eyes closed and listened carefully to see if the cycads made abnormal noises. The wood would make a subtle sound after being stressed. In fact, any sound is a sign of damage to the wood. Fortunately, the bending During the process, Tieshu did not make any abnormal noise.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan bend one hand and stretch the bowstring with the other hand, Li Bie asked in a low voice, "Do you need help?"
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. He can tie knots with one hand without the need for others to intervene.
At the last moment, the size of the dragon tendon is just enough, but when tying the knot, it needs a little extra to bind and fix it.
Wu Zhongyuan did not choose one or the other, but both, after taking a deep breath, the left hand holding the bow body pressed down, and the right hand holding the bow string tried to lift it up, and so on finally met the binding requirements, twice After the sharp spin, the index finger reverses the string head, the **** pushes the string head up, eagerly lowers the head to bite the string head, raises the head to tighten, loosens the hands, the bow body rebounds, and the bow strings at both ends are simultaneously tightened, and the force is stuck.
After a sigh of breath, Wu Zhongyuan held the bow with one hand, provoked the middle finger, and tested the tightness. Compared with ordinary bows and arrows, the bowstrings of this bow and arrows are too tight and have almost no elasticity. Use, non-Ziqi masters must not draw the bow full.
Wu Zhongyuan was full of joy at this moment. Compared with getting the magic weapon left by his predecessors, the satisfaction brought by creating a magic weapon himself was even stronger. The former is inheritance, while the latter is creation. Worlds apart, judgement.
Seeing Li Bie's curious expression, Wu Zhongyuan threw the longbow over, "Come on, feel it."
Li Bie stretched out her hand to pick it up. After looking at it, she tried to draw the bow. She is a mountain-based cultivator. Although she can draw the bow, it seems very difficult.
"I'm afraid that this bow is unusable for ordinary people." Li Bie said.
"This is not a shortcoming." Wu Zhongyuan laughed. The bow and arrow he made could not be used by ordinary people at all. Even a blue-qi warrior could only barely open a half-bow. Master, such a high threshold is both a restriction and an honor.
To judge the value of a thing, in addition to the thing itself, it also depends on whether it can be owned by everyone. If everyone can own it, no matter how good this thing is, its value will not be very high.
Li Bie's fingers loosened the bowstring, and the bowstring returned as soon as it was flicked. It did not vibrate continuously like ordinary bows and arrows.
Seeing that the bowstring stopped, Li Bie raised his head in surprise and gave Wu Zhongyuan a surprised look. At this time, bows and arrows were very common, and all warriors would use bows and arrows, and she was no exception. It is very rare that the bowstring does not vibrate continuously. The direct result is that after one arrow is shot, the second arrow can be shot immediately, which greatly shortens the interval between consecutive bows.
After trying the bowstring, Ri Bie began to carefully examine the camber of the bow body and the position where the bowstring was tied. They were all in the best proportions, and even the ends of the ropes were unusually aligned.
After looking at it, Li Bie returned the long bow to Wu Zhongyuan. Instead of throwing it, she walked over and handed it to him, "It's a really good bow."
"For you." Wu Zhongyuan didn't take the longbow.
"What did you say?" Li Bie looked at him in astonishment.
"If you like this bow, I'll give it to you!" Wu Zhongyuan said sternly, he didn't just talk about it, he really wanted to give it, although he liked this longbow to the point where he couldn't put it down, he gave it to Li Bie but There is no reluctance at all, the reason is very simple, Li Bie saved his life, nothing is more important than life, but this is not the only reason, subconsciously also hopes to repay the debt of favor, give Li Bie an explanation, Li Bie Don't be a good person, a good person should not be empty-handed.
"I don't want it." Don't hand it over again.
"I really want to give it to you." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Why did you give me such a good thing?" Li Bie looked a little nervous.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer immediately, he was thinking about how to answer and why Li Bie was nervous.
Li Bie put the bow and arrow into his hands, bowed his head, and turned away.
Although Li Bie lowered her head, Wu Zhongyuan found her blushing, obviously shy.
Crap, fuck, this guy may have misunderstood...
