Origin

Li Bie naturally did not believe that Wu Zhongyuan would "borrow", but this was much better than the worst outcome she imagined. What she was most worried about was that Wu Zhongyuan would rob him. You must know that with Wu Zhongyuan's current cultivation level, no matter what he wants to do , no one can stop him.

Seeing Li Bie standing still, Wu Zhongyuan urged, "Go to the top of the mountain to the east and wait for me. Don't stay here."

Don't hesitate to go.

"How about you come with me?" Wu Zhongyuan smiled evilly.

Li Bie shook his head repeatedly, "I won't go."

"Then don't stay here. If they find out, they think you and I are in the same group." Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile.

Li Bie thought for a moment and turned around to start. Suddenly he remembered something and turned around, "Don't steal anything while wearing the Azure Dragon Armor."

"Why?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually, "Are you afraid that I will defile the bird clan's sacred objects?"

"No," Li Bie shook his head repeatedly, "They will recognize you."

"It's okay, they have never seen the Green Dragon Armor." Wu Zhongyuan said. This city covers an area of ​​at least a thousand acres. It is too large. If you want to get close to the stone building quietly, the safest way is to fall from the sky. .

Li Bie didn't say anything more and went away full of sorrow.

After Li Bie left, Wu Zhongyuan took advantage of the darkness and took off into the air. He quickly climbed up and moved westward from a high place. He quickly landed on top of the stone tower. He slowed down and stopped a few feet away from the top of the stone tower. Then he landed gently and climbed up. He climbed into the attic through the eaves.

Since it was the beginning of the month, there was no moon in the sky, and the surroundings were dark, no one in the city noticed that anyone had invaded the stone building.

This stone building has seven floors, and the upper and lower floors are as thick as each other. After entering the top floor, Wu Zhongyuan was dumbfounded. He thought that there were either wooden shelves or a floor of bamboo baskets, but he never expected that the top floor was filled with jars. There are hundreds of these jars of different sizes and shapes. Some of these jars are open, some are sealed, and some are semi-sealed and only covered with wooden lids.

He opened one casually, and a slightly fishy greasy smell hit his face. The jar should be some kind of animal fat. It was probably the dragon oil that the old blind man said. There were also many rope-like things soaked in the dragon oil.

Since Wu Zhongyuan didn't understand the nature of these oils, he didn't do anything directly. Instead, he broke the wooden cover into pieces and used a wooden strip to pick out a strip and took a closer look. It was gray in color and disk-shaped, which should be the dragon tendon.

The Yi people's practice of soaking dragon tendons in dragon oil is actually very correct. If the dragon tendons are completely dry, they will lose their elasticity. If they are soaked in water, the dragon tendons will rot over time. Soaking them in oil can both prevent corrosion and preserve their properties. Its elasticity.

The most direct way to determine whether the dragon tendon is suitable for use is to pull it to determine whether it can withstand enough force. Don't worry about so much, just roll up your sleeves and get started.

The oil-soaked dragon tendons were slippery, and I couldn't use my strength. After thinking about it, I broke the wooden bar on the side, wrapped the two ends of the dragon tendons, grasped and fixed, and pulled hard.

Facts have proved that the things soaked in these jars are indeed dragon tendons. Their toughness is far beyond ordinary bow strings, and their elasticity is very good. Bow strings made of this kind of dragon tendons can not only increase the range of bows and arrows, but also increase the power of bows and arrows.

If you just pull hard, no matter how hard you use, the dragon tendons will not break, but if you use spiritual energy, it won't work, and the dragon tendons will break.

There are more than one dragon tendons soaked in each jar. If one is broken, there is no need to try the remaining ones. Try the ones in other jars instead.

After tearing off a few strands,

Wu Zhongyuan figured out the pattern. The materials of these jars are not the same. Some are made of clay, some are made of metal, and some are made of stone. Jars made of the same material have similar dragon tendons soaked in them. The ones with the worst toughness are pottery. altars, followed by metal jars, and the best ones are the dragon tendons soaked in those stone-carved jars.

However, even the dragon tendons in the stone altar could not withstand his full force of the bow. They could still be torn apart even though they were filled with purple energy and pulled with all their strength. In fact, this kind of toughness is already very good. All races of purple energy Most of the bows and arrows used by masters are not as good as this.

If there is no iron tree for the bow body, a bow string made of this material is enough. But the problem is that his bow body is made of rare iron tree. Using this kind of bow string is a bit messy and cannot bring out the maximum power of the bow and arrow.

Finding nothing satisfactory from the top floor, Wu Zhongyuan went down one floor. The next floor was no longer a jar. The hanging skins were mostly fish skins, and the rest were snake skins. He couldn't tell the difference. It was not his goal to find out whether the skins belonged to snakes or dragons, so he continued walking down.

The following layers are filled with stretched leather. Since it has been salted before, the smell is very pungent. Even if it is invulnerable to all poisons, it will make you feel stuffy and nauseated after smelling it for a long time.

There were not so many anti-theft facilities at this time. The most important thing was that there were very few thieves at this time, and the Yi people did not expect anyone to come and steal things. There was a huge stone building with only two tribesmen guarding the door and one person in the tower. nor.

Wu Zhongyuan went down from the top floor to the bottom floor, and then back to the top floor from the bottom floor. He couldn't find a suitable bow string. Wu Zhongyuan was a little frustrated. He wanted to make do with a tougher one, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. It was not feasible to make do. It's a good habit. It's the fate of a humble person. Once a person starts to make do with it, he is completely finished and completely useless. If he can't eat mutton, he will make do with pork. If he can't afford a big house, he will make do with a small one. Those who are not satisfied with their partner will make do with finding an average partner, lowering their standards step by step. The end result is that their horizons will become lower and lower, and their life will become more and more useless.

As the saying goes, pattern comes from perseverance, and taste comes from being picky. No matter what you do, you must stick to your original intention, maintain your own pattern, and work tirelessly to get what you really want. You must not lower your standards just because the goal is difficult.

The old blind man had told him before that the location of the Yi people's ancestral tomb was in the cave to the north of the city, but Wu Zhongyuan did not go directly to the north. He left the stone tower and flew to a high place first, and then moved north when he reached a high altitude. Although there was a green dragon. Although he was protected by armor, he was still very afraid of the powerful bows and crossbows with bright arrows in the city. The strength of these big guys must be amazing. If they were hit for a while, they would be in pain for several days even if they didn't die.

The dead and the living cannot live together. The cave where the Yi people's ancestral tombs are located is located outside the city. It is a natural huge cave. There is no stone door outside and it is open. There are special tomb guards outside the cave, but the tomb guards The role of humans is only to prevent wild animals from entering the cave, not to prevent enemies from invading. After all, ancestral graves and altars are not of the same nature. Ancestral graves are just places where the coffins of ancestors are placed.

Since the cave has no door, you can see the faint purple light emitted from the cave from a distance. All colors in nature are made up of a mixture of red, yellow and blue. The same is true for purple, which is made up of a combination of red and blue. As for the color, red is a warm color, while blue is a cold color. The purple mixed from these two colors has both warm and cold tones, giving people a dignified and solemn feeling of majesty.

There were trees around the cave. Wu Zhongyuan used the cover of the trees to observe the scene in the cave from a distance. The cave was much larger than he imagined. There were many coffins densely packed inside. Because the Yi people were all very tall. The coffins used after death are also larger than ordinary people. These coffins are made of wood and may have been soaked in grease before, and they still remain intact after being parked for many years.

There is a man-made stone platform in the middle of the cave. The stone platform has nine floors. The surface of the top floor is about the size of a table of the Eight Immortals. The oil lamp that emits a faint purple light is at the highest point of the stone platform.

It is said to be an oil lamp, but it is very different from ordinary lamps. The lamp holder is a three-legged bronze tripod. It is not very big, probably less than fifty centimeters in diameter. The upper part of the bronze tripod is covered with a layer of white metal. The white metal There is a small round hole in the middle, and the wick pokes out of the small round hole. What is produced when burning is a purple flame. The most strange thing about this oil lamp is that when the wick is burning, the light it emits is like a claw that raises its head and wants to climb the clouds. The little dragon ascended into the air. As the wick burned, the little dragon kept reaching upwards, but it was restricted by the wick and could not leave the oil lamp.

There is a saying about the lamp in the tomb. It is called the Ever-Bright Lamp. Its function is to illuminate the way for the ancestors in the darkness. Extinguishing someone's Ever-Bright Lamp is equivalent to digging up someone's ancestral grave. If they knew it was him who did it, they would definitely want to Desperately seeking revenge.

According to his previous idea, he just stole some lamp oil and did not want to steal the oil lamp. However, this bronze oil lamp was covered with a layer of white metal, and the joints seemed to be melted together. It was impossible to steal the lamp oil. If he wanted to get the oil, He could only steal the oil lamp together.

In addition to being worried, Wu Zhongyuan also has some doubts. It is impossible to add lamp oil to an oil lamp of this style later. Is it possible that the lamp has not been filled with lamp oil since it was lit?

Although he had concerns, Wu Zhongyuan did not back down. At this time, the two mausoleum guards were sitting outside the entrance of the cave. He had to wait until they left before taking action. Although he had enough reasons to steal, it did not affect the nature of the matter. He was doing good deeds to save the world. While accumulating virtue, you are also committing evil deeds, so it is best not to be seen.

He was lucky. It didn't take long for the two tomb guards to get up and relieve themselves. Naturally, they couldn't urinate from the entrance of the cave, but went east.

The two left, and Wu Zhongyuan immediately took action, urging the green dragon armor to rush in quickly, reach the stone platform, and blow on it when he inhaled.

Once blown, it will never be destroyed.

If you blow it again, it will not go out.

In desperation, he patted it with his hands, put his palms together, and the light disappeared, but as soon as he separated his hands, the oil lamp came on again.

The brief disappearance of the purple light alarmed the tomb-keepers outside the cave. At this time, two people's shouts were heard outside. Although the incident was strange, Wu Zhongyuan could not think too much. He picked up the oil lamp with one hand and covered the wick with the other. He turned around and walked away. run.

He wore green dragon armor, and his hands were protected by the armor, so he could not feel the heat of the lamp and the wick. When he came out of the cave, when he loosened his right hand, the lamp began to shine again.

The tomb keeper's eyes had just adapted to the darkness when the light suddenly changed again. The two of them couldn't adapt immediately and both tilted their heads and closed their eyes. Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to step on the ground and lift into the air, holding the wick and rushing eastward...
