Origin - Chapter 374

[Chapter 355]

Due to the excessive tension before, it took a long time for Wu Zhongyuan to come back to his senses, and the feeling of joy began to come to his mind. During this trip, not only did he get the purple fire grease to raise the temperature of the furnace, but also got the dragon tendon bowstring that matches the iron tree. It really does kill two birds with one stone, as one wishes.

However, 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 graves of the Yi people, but he stole it and took it for himself. This kind of behavior belongs to the self-serving selfishness.

But in a flash, the 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. The evil spirit did not take this oil lamp, and it is a serious waste to put the oil lamp in the ancestral graves of the Yi people. You must know that what he does is not for his own personal gain, but is equivalent to performing official duties, defending against the invasion of the Five Paths, and ensuring that the world will not be trampled by the Five Paths. Enslavement was his job, and he could enlist whatever he needed to make sure it could be accomplished.

Everyone should work hard to be a good person, but there is no need to be harsh on themselves with the standards of saints. No one’s character is flawless. If you blindly pursue the absolute purity of character, you will fall into unnecessary entanglement. Can not extricate themselves, and even worry about gains and losses.

There were 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 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 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. He had seen the vision when the oil lamp was lit. The shape of the flame was a winding and agile dragon. This flame dragon must have been the shape and shape of the dragon-shaped creature before it was alive.

There is a simple and intuitive criterion for distinguishing between true dragons and dragon-like creatures, 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 explored and verified at present, but it is certain that the oil in the dragon tendon and the oil lamp came from a real dragon, and it is precisely because of these two things. It comes from a real dragon, so the grease can emit a higher temperature, and the dragon tendon has stronger toughness and can withstand greater pulling force than ordinary dragon tendons.

After roughly wiping the dragon tendons, Wu Zhongyuan took the piece of the iron tree that was used as the body of the bow, and wiped it carefully with a 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 bundle and shape it. After the iron tree is attached to the grease, the brittleness will be reduced, and the toughness will be better when it is bent, and it is not easy to break.

Halfway through wiping, he suddenly remembered that there was still a small hole left on the oil lamp after the wick was drawn out. Although the grease was not easily volatile, he tore off the cloth and plugged the small hole.

When Li Bie came back, Wu Zhongyuan was grinding the grooves on 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 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 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 looked at the oil lamp up close, and then saw that the plate had been wiped clean by Wu Zhongyuan. 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 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 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 be closely combined with the dragon tendon, and the dragon tendon has a certain extensibility. It must be ensured that the dragon tendon can still be stuck in the groove and not move forward and backward when the bow is thinned.

Due to the need 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. , but also prone to errors and deviations.

After waking up and then busy, after the grooves at both ends are polished, the reverse bow is set. The so-called reverse bow means that both ends of the bow body need to be bent in reverse, so as to ensure that the bow string will not fall off when the bow is opened. It is a blocking and fixed insurance effect.

Although the progress is very slow, his movements are very skillful and methodical. If he were someone else, he would definitely ask him how he was so good at making bows and arrows. Although Li Bie was also curious, he did not ask any questions. When Wu Zhongyuan was busy, She didn’t say anything to disturb her, most of the time she closed her eyes and practiced her breath, and occasionally opened her eyes and just watched quietly.

The trunk of the iron tree is about the thickness of the mouth of a bowl when it is not peeled and polished. Even after peeling and dehydration, it is also the thickness of a fist. The iron tree used for the bow is not a complete trunk, but a part of the trunk. Aura can bend it slowly, tie one end first, and then tie the other end after bending to the desired arc.

While bending, Wu Zhongyuan kept his eyes closed and listened carefully to see if the iron tree made any abnormal noise. The wood would make a subtle sound after being stressed. In fact, any sound was a sign of damage to the wood. Fortunately, during the bending process, The iron tree 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 could tie knots with one hand without the need for others to intervene and help.

Finally, 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 took into account both. After taking a deep breath, he pressed down with his left hand holding the bow body, while his right hand holding the bowstring tried to lift it up. In this way, he finally met the binding requirements. , the index finger reverses the string head, the middle finger pushes the string head, eagerly lowers the head and bites the string head, raises the head to tighten, loosens both hands, the bow body rebounds, and both ends of the bow string are tightened at the same time, 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 were too tight and almost inflexible, and ordinary people could not use the bow at all. Masters of purple qi must not draw the bow full.

At this moment, Wu Zhongyuan was full of joy. 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. , to judge.

Seeing Li Bie’s expression of curiosity, Wu Zhongyuan threw the longbow over, “Come on, feel it.”

Li Bie took it with her hand. After looking at it, she tried to draw the bow. She was a cultivator in the mountains. Although she could draw the bow, it seemed very difficult.

“I’m afraid that this bow will not be used by 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 barely open a half-bow. If you want to use it normally, you must at least have a purple-qi master. A high threshold is both a limitation 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, and it did not vibrate continuously like an ordinary bow and arrow.

Seeing that the bowstring stopped, Li Bie raised his head in surprise and shot 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. That is, after shooting one arrow, you can immediately shoot the second arrow, which greatly shortens the interval between consecutive bows.

After trying the bowstring, Li Bie began to carefully look at 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 longbow to Wu Zhongyuan. Instead of throwing it, she walked over and handed it to him, “It’s a really good bow.”

“Give it to 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 long bow to the point that he couldn’t put it down, he didn’t give it to Li Bie at all. Reluctance, 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 hope to repay the debt of favor, give Li Bie an explanation, Li Bie is a good person , a good man should not be empty-handed.

“I don’t want it.” Li don’t hand it 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, lowered his head, and turned away.

Although Li Bie lowered her head, Wu Zhongyuan found her blushing, obviously shy.

Oops, Oops, this guy may have misunderstood…
