Wu Zhongyuan opened the baggage, took out the trunk and the bundle of branches, and inspected them one by one, after getting the iron tree, he had carried out a simple trimming of the iron tree, after more than two months of storage in the shade, the trunk and branches have been dried and dehydrated, the hardness has been improved, and the color is more deep and restrained.

Since the iron tree is already very hard, it does not contain much water, and the trunk and branches are not bent and deformed after drying and dehydration, and all the wool that has been trimmed before can be used.

After inspecting them one by one, he left a branch, and the rest was still wrapped and put back in the furnace, and he also brought all kinds of polishing tools.

The previous bark was not very clean, and it had to be rubbed off. The branches are not completely straight, they have to be straightened. Due to the tough texture of the iron tree, it is time-consuming and laborious to refine and polish, but Wu Zhongyuan is happy in it, grinding for a while, touching it, and taking a look, he has calculated that the branches can polish fifteen arrows, and the trunk can be left after the bow body is made, and there are twenty-one arrows that can be polished, a total of thirty-six, to ensure that all of them are polished and formed, and there can be no defective products.

He has the memory of Wu Tai in his mind, Wu Tai is not only the archer of the bear clan, but also the archery method is second to none among the three clans, as an archer, he naturally has a lot of experience in the production of bows and arrows, the thickness and length of the arrows, including the weight of the arrows, are all well known, there is an optimal ratio between various data, because the iron tree is much denser than ordinary wood, if you want to create a golden ratio, the arrow shaft should be a little thinner than the arrow shaft of the ordinary bow and arrow, the so-called little, may only be about half a millimeter.

Wu Zhongyuan was concentrating on polishing, and Li Bei was concentrating on practicing qi, but soon she was not concentrating, because the iron tree was too tough, and when she polished with a file, it made a sound similar to sharpening a knife, and the stone room was relatively closed, and there was an echo, boom, boom, and it was difficult for her to calm down.

Everyone has curiosity, and Li Bei is no exception, but she didn't show great interest in Tieshu, but was very puzzled by Wu Zhongyuan's preoccupation and immersion, and she had to like one thing to have this kind of obsessive and selfless performance.

Li Bei didn't say much, he was curious and puzzled, and he didn't say anything to ask, just watched quietly from the side.

After Li Tai and Li Ding left, Wu Zhongyuan began to polish, did not eat or drink, forgot to sleep and eat, and was busy all day, until the arrow was completely polished into shape, and then he was satisfied with stroking and looking.

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

Hearing Li Bei's words, Wu Zhongyuan turned his head to look at her.

Li Bei said, "Qi cultivation is the right way, and it is not right to be obsessed with foreign objects. ”

At this time, there is no plaything to lose his mind, but Li Bei roughly means this, Wu Zhongyuan can feel Li Bei's kindness, but he does not agree with Li Bei's statement, "As the so-called work wants to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, spiritual energy cultivation is important, but the weapon at hand is also essential, I live in the era there is an idiom called like a tiger with wings, having a weapon in hand, is equivalent to giving wings to the fierce tiger." ”

Women look at problems from different angles than men, Wu Zhongyuan wants to express the importance of a good weapon for a person, but Li Bie became interested in the era in which Wu Zhongyuan lived, "Where did you originally live?"

Li Bei'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 Wu Di and Jiang Nan have also asked, and he has also tried to explain, but both of them are confused, and it will be more difficult to explain to Li Bei, not that Li Bei's IQ is not enough, but that she has mental problems, at least she has autistic tendencies.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning, Li Bei didn't ask any more, put a bowl of cooked porridge and rice and gave it to Wu Zhongyuan, and then went back to sit and continue to meditate and practice qi.

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a long time and didn't think of a way to make Li Bei intuitively understand, so he had no choice but to say, "I originally lived in a very distant place, there is a big difference between there and here, unless you see it with your own eyes, even if I say it, you can't imagine it." ”

Li Bei had already started to practice qi, and when she heard Wu Zhongyuan's words, she didn't respond, not that she was angry, but that she couldn't practice qi calmly for a day, she felt that she was slacking off, and finally quieted down, she wanted to seize the time to breathe in and practice qi.

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

Once a person has a rejection of a certain sound, it will gradually form a conditioned reflex, and it will become more and more unbearable, Wu Zhongyuan sighed for a day, Li Bei is no longer a simple rejection of this sound, almost became afraid, and finally couldn't help it, opened the stone door and walked out.

It was very hot in the stone room, and after a day, Wu Zhongyuan also wanted to go out to breathe, so he followed out with a file and a branch, and saw Li Bei meditating cross-legged under the tree, so he did not approach her, but went away.

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

At this time, it was the second watch, Wu Zhongyuan came back from the fourth watch, and he didn't always polish the arrow shaft during the two watches, but also took the time to turn around from the neighborhood, brought back a lot of wild fruits, and caught a few fish.

gave Li Bei fruit, she didn't take it, and after a few words of persuasion, Li Bei reluctantly accepted it.

The fish was made by Wu Zhongyuan and distributed to Li Bei, Li Bei didn't eat it, and after some persuasion, she also ate it.

Get along day and night, it will definitely become more and more familiar, even if it is a seriously autistic person like Li Bei, after a long time of contact, they are familiar with each other, they will gradually let down their guard, and they will talk more slowly, but more is only relatively speaking, before I could not open my mouth, but now it is much better, and I can reply five or six sentences if I ask ten sentences.

Conversation is the way of communication, but also the premise of communication, after talking more with Li Bei, the relationship between the two is getting better and better, the so-called good relationship is not to give birth to any feelings, but gradually become friends.

As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, Wu Zhongyuan is a very optimistic person, Li Bei is gradually cheerful with him, it is not very accurate to describe it as cheerful, to be exact, is it so gloomy and old-fashioned, Wu Zhongyuan took her out to pick persimmons, and she will go. Wu Zhongyuan went to catch fish in the river, and she would pick it up from the shore.

However, most of the time the two are not together, because Wu Zhongyuan has to polish the shaft of the arrow, and Li Bei has never slackened his practice.

Wu Zhongyuan usually stays in the stone room, and his aura cultivation cannot be improved in a short period of time, but he needs to continue to absorb fire qi to consolidate the fire dragon's true qi, while Li Bei is outside most of the time, and the aura in the stone room is thin, and practicing qi from the stone room is half the effort.

It's actually not difficult to get along with Li Bei, as long as you don't inquire about the things of the bird clan and her own situation, in fact, Li Bei is not old-fashioned, and she also has curiosity, but most of the time she is suppressed.

It took twelve days to polish the fifteen branches, after which only the trunk of the iron tree remained, and the trunk was thicker, and it was necessary to cut open some of it, and use some of it as a bow, while the rest was still polished for arrows.

Anyone who knows a little bit about physics knows that hardness and toughness are not the same concept, and the iron tree is not hard in the real sense, it should be classified as tough, even the purple qi master can't break it in the middle, but as long as it persists, it can still be slowly sawn.

In addition, the part with the best toughness of the tree is not the center of the tree, which is often soft, and the trunk is cut horizontally into two sections, and the long section is cut vertically to get the bow, and the rest of the part is polished with arrows.

Unknowingly, 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 long, and left in a hurry after a short conversation with Li Bei.

Li Ding and Li Bei did not shy away from Wu Zhongyuan, and the short conversation can be roughly divided into two parts, one is that the reason why Li Tai asked Li Bei to come to see him is because she is the person Li Tai believes in the most, and he is related to the rise and fall of the bird clan, and 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 Bei lasted less than five minutes in total, and after Li Ding left, Wu Zhongyuan kept frowning, things seemed to be a little wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong for a while.

Previously, the two picked a lot of mountain persimmons and came back, and they had been baked and dehydrated on the stone slab behind, and Li Bei put away the mountain persimmons before Li Ding came over, and after Li Ding left, Li Bei put the mountain persimmons again, and the remaining two took them back, eating one of them, and the larger one was handed to Wu Zhongyuan, "Very sweet." ”

Wu Zhongyuan turned his head to look at Li Bei, and Li Bei handed it again.

Seeing the friendliness and closeness on Li Bei's face, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly realized that he finally knew that something was wrong, he underestimated Li Tai, in fact, when Li Tai came over last time, he already knew that it was him who was fighting fiercely with Wu Xi, and the reason why it was said that Wu Xi directed and acted was to stabilize him.

Don't underestimate the person in a high position, Li Tai is not stupid, the surprise that Li Tai showed when he came here last time was really surprised, but this surprise was the surprise that he could clearly come back without coming back, not the surprise that he was trapped here, but there was another surprise that he appeared in the fight between Youxiong and Wu Xi.

When he was locked up here, Li Tai and the others didn't know that he would take the opportunity to cultivate the Fire Dragon True Qi from here, but after the Bird Clan's Bear sent to inform Li Tai about his battle with Wu Xizuo, Li Tai knew that he had already practiced the Fire Dragon True Qi, and since he had already practiced the Fire Dragon True Qi, there was no motive to stay here anymore, in that case, why would he come back?

There is only one reasonable reason, and that is that he does not want to involve Li Bei......
