Origin

Due to the excessive nervousness before, it took Wu Zhongyuan a long time to come to his senses, and a feeling of joy began to emerge in his heart. During this trip, he not only got the purple fire grease used to increase the temperature of the furnace, but also got a dragon tendon bow string that could match the iron tree. It really kills two birds with one stone and fulfills your wish.

However, the feeling of joy did not last long and was diluted by guilt and self-blame. The thing was a good thing, but it came from an evil source. This oil lamp was an ever-burning lamp in the ancestral graves of the Yi people, but I stole it and kept it as my own. This kind of behavior belongs to self-interest at the expense of others.

But with just a flash of thought, guilt and self-blame were driven away by reason. If the five seals were removed, this place would become an enemy-occupied area, and anything in the enemy-occupied area would be used by the enemy. To say the least, it would be a five-way seal. The evil spirit did not take away the oil lamp. It would be a serious waste to place the oil lamp in the ancestral grave of the Yi people. You must know that what he did was not for his own selfish gain. It was equivalent to performing official duties, resisting the invasion of the five ways, and ensuring that the world would not be trampled by the five ways. Slavery is his mission, and he can commandeer whatever he needs to ensure its completion.

Everyone should strive to be a good person, but there is no need to be harsh on oneself according to the standards of a saint. No one's character is flawless. If you blindly pursue the absolute purity of character, you will fall into unnecessary entanglements. You can't extricate yourself, and even worry about gains and losses.

There were a lot of rags left in the stone chamber, but Wu Zhongyuan did not use the rags to wipe the dragon tendons. Instead, he cut a piece of clean cloth from the quilt and carefully wiped the grease on the dragon tendons, because the dragon tendons had been soaked in grease before. , the grease has been deeply immersed in it, and it still looks greasy after rubbing it several times.

While wiping the dragon tendon, Wu Zhongyuan was also looking at it carefully. This dragon tendon and the grease in the oil lamp should come from the same dragon-shaped creature. The reason why it is said to be a dragon-shaped creature and not a snake-shaped creature is because before He once saw a strange scene when an oil lamp was lit. The shape of the fire was a small winding and agile dragon. This small flaming dragon must have been the body and shape of the dragon-shaped creature when it was alive.

There is a simple and intuitive criterion for distinguishing real dragons from dragon-like creatures, that is, whether the dragon has claws. The flame dragon has four claws, which means it is a real dragon.

Due to the lapse of many years, it is no longer possible to investigate how the ancestors of the Yi people hunted a real dragon. However, it is certain that the dragon tendons and the grease in the oil lamp came from a real dragon. It is precisely because of these two things It comes from a real dragon, so the oil 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 clean, Wu Zhongyuan took the piece of iron tree used as the bow body and wiped it carefully with a piece of cloth stained with grease. The purpose of this was not to make the iron tree look brighter and smoother, but to make the iron tree look brighter and smoother. To improve the toughness of the iron tree, the next step is to bind it into shape. After the iron tree is stained with grease, its brittleness will be reduced, and it will be more tough when bent and will not break easily.

Halfway through wiping it, he suddenly remembered that after pulling out the wick, there was still a small hole in the oil lamp. Although the oil was not easy to evaporate, he still tore off the cloth strip and plugged the small hole.

When Li Bie came back, Wu Zhongyuan was polishing the grooves at both ends of the bow and arrow to fix the dragon ribs. Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, Wu Zhongyuan raised his head and looked at Li Bie, "Why so fast? What time is it outside now?"

"At dawn." Li Bie walked towards Wu Zhongyuan.

"I didn't leave you on purpose," Wu Zhongyuan explained, "I didn't want them to..."

Before Wu Zhongyuan could finish speaking, Li Bie shook his head and said, "They have already seen me."

Seeing the worried look on Li Bie's face, Wu Zhongyuan guessed what she was worried about and said with relief, "Don't worry, there is no evidence. Even if they argue with the Bird Tribe, there will be no results."

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Li Bie nodded and turned to stare at the oil lamp Wu Zhongyuan put aside, "What did you do with their oil lamp?"

"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 Wu Zhongyuan's words were too brief, Li Bie didn't understand what he heard, but she didn't continue to ask. Instead, she knelt down and looked at the oil lamp up close, and then looked at the plate that Wu Zhongyuan had wiped clean and put away. Dragon tendon on the side.

"Why is this dragon tendon purple?" Li Bie asked.

"I don't know." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but he didn't know why this dragon tendon was purple. After all, he had never seen a real dragon's tendon.

"Did you take anything else from them?" Li Bie asked again.

Wu Zhongyuan was busy with his head down, "No."

Li Bie didn't ask any more questions, got up and walked to the door, sat down on his bed, and quietly watched Wu Zhongyuan rub the groove used to fix the bowstring.

The grinding of the grooves is also very labor-intensive. If the grooves are grinded shallowly, the binding will not be strong enough. If it is worn too deep, it may break after being stressed.

In addition, the size of the groove for binding the bow string must be closely integrated with the dragon rib, and the dragon rib has a certain degree of extensibility. It must be ensured that when the bow is opened, the dragon rib can still be stuck in the groove after becoming thinner without moving forward or backward.

Since he always needed to think forward, the progress was very slow. When he realized that he was a little tired, Wu Zhongyuan stopped the work at hand and lay down to rest. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will not delay chopping wood. When a person is tired, not only the work efficiency will be greatly reduced. , and are prone to errors and deviations.

After waking up and getting busy, after grinding the grooves at both ends, we began to shape the reverse bow. The so-called reverse bow means that the two ends of the bow body need to be bent in reverse to ensure that the bow string will not fall off when the bow is opened. It is a blocking and fixed insurance function.

Although the progress was very slow, his movements were very skillful and methodical. If he were anyone else, he would definitely ask him how he is so good at making bows and arrows. However, although Li Bie was also very curious, he did not ask any questions. While Wu Zhongyuan was busy, She didn't say anything to disturb her from beginning to end. She spent most of the time practicing Qi with her eyes closed. Occasionally she opened her eyes and just watched quietly.

The trunk of the iron tree is about the thickness of a bowl before being peeled and polished. Even after being peeled and dehydrated, it is as thick as a fist. The iron tree used for the bow is not a complete trunk, but a part of the trunk. The arms are filled with Reiki can slowly bend it, tie one end first, and then tie the other end after it is bent to the required arc.

While bending, Wu Zhongyuan kept his eyes closed, listening carefully to see if the iron tree made any abnormal noise. The wood would make a slight sound after being stressed. In fact, any sound is a sign of damage and fracture of the wood. Fortunately, during the bending process, The iron tree made no strange noise.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan bending one hand and stretching the bowstring with the other, Li Bie asked in a low voice, "Do you need help?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. He could tie knots skillfully with one hand without the help of others.

Finally, at the last moment, the size of the dragon's tendons was just enough, but a little extra was needed when tying the knot to bind and fix it. In order to gain this half inch, one could only continue to bend the bow body, or work hard to stretch the bow string.

Wu Zhongyuan did not choose one of the two, but considered both. After taking a deep breath, he pressed down harder with his left hand holding the bow body, and tried to lift it up with his right hand holding the bow string. In this way, he finally reached the binding requirement. After two sharp turns, , the index finger plucks the string head back, the middle finger pushes up, lowers the head eagerly to bite the string head, raises the head and tightens it, when the hands are released, the bow body rebounds, the bowstrings at both ends are tightened at the same time, and the bow strings are stuck due to force.

After taking a deep breath, Wu Zhongyuan held the bow with one hand and used his middle finger to test the tightness. Compared with ordinary bows and arrows, the bowstring of this bow and arrow was too tight and had almost no elasticity. It was impossible for ordinary people to open the bow and use it. Masters of purple energy are not allowed to draw their bows to full length.

At this moment, Wu Zhongyuan's heart was filled with joy. Compared with getting a magical weapon left by his predecessors, the satisfaction brought by building a magical weapon with his own hands was even stronger. The former was inheritance, while the latter was creation. There was a huge difference. , make a judgment.

Seeing Li Bie's curious expression, Wu Zhongyuan threw the long bow over, "Come, let's feel it."

Li Bie reached out to take it, and after examining it, she tried to fire the bow. She was a mountain practitioner, so although she could fire the bow, it seemed very difficult.

"I'm afraid ordinary people won't be able to use this bow." Li Bie said.

"This is not a shortcoming." Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile. The bow and arrow he made cannot be used by ordinary people. Even the blue energy warrior can barely draw a half bow. If you want to use it normally, you must at least be a purple energy master. So 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 everyone can own it. If everyone can own it, no matter how good the thing is, its value will not be very high.

Li Bie loosened the bow string with his fingers. The bow string bounced back as soon as it was flicked, without the continuous vibration like ordinary bows and arrows.

Seeing that the bowstring stopped as soon as it was played, Li Bie raised his head in shock and cast a surprised look at Wu Zhongyuan. Bows and arrows were very common at this time. All warriors would use bows and arrows, and she was no exception. It was very rare for the bowstring to not vibrate continuously. The direct result That is, after shooting one arrow, you can shoot the second arrow immediately, which greatly shortens the interval between consecutive bow firings.

After trying the bowstring, Libie began to carefully examine the curvature of the bow body and the position where the bowstring was tied. They were all in optimal proportions, and even the rope ends were exceptionally regular.

After looking at it, Li Bie returned the long bow to Wu Zhongyuan. Instead of throwing it away, she came over and handed it to him, "What a good bow."

"Give it to you." Wu Zhongyuan did not take the long bow.

"What did you say?" Li Bie looked at him in shock.

"If you like it, I'll give this bow to you!" Wu Zhongyuan said seriously. He didn't just say it, he really wanted to give it to him. Although he liked this long bow to the point where he couldn't put it down, he had no intention of giving it to Li Bie. The reason for reluctance is very simple. Li Bie saved his life. Nothing is more important than life. However, this is not the only reason. Subconsciously, he also hopes to repay the debt of favor and give Li Bie an explanation. Li Bie is a good person. , good people should not be left empty-handed.

"I don't want it." Li Bie handed 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 hand, lowered his head, turned and walked away.

Although Li Bie lowered her head, Wu Zhongyuan noticed that she was blushing, obviously shy.

Oh no, no, this guy may have misunderstood... (=Yikan Novel)
