Chapter 765: Ju Yuan

PS: Today's first update, ask for monthly pass support.

After saying goodbye to the two uncles, everyone lost the interest of walking horses, but returned directly to the manor.

Back at the manor, Murong Guang immediately asked someone to take the horse back to the pasture to feed, and then took Wang Guan and Yu Feibai to the living room, and by the way, they talked about hunting.

"Actually, it's a game."

Murong Guang said with a smile: "A few friends and I are more yearning for the ancient life of archery, horse and arrow, but in the modern city, there is definitely no such opportunity." But we want to experience this kind of life, but there are so many protected wild animals in the northwest that it is impossible to hunt them at will. So a few of us put it together and just opened up a game ground on our own. ”

"Safari grounds?"

Wang Guan and Wang Guan glanced at each other, and there was a little bit of understanding in them.

"That's right, it's a safari ground." Murong Guang smiled and said: "We wrapped up a few mountains, and then released a batch of pheasants, hares, antelopes or something, and then hunted and played by ourselves." Now that autumn is in season, we plan to hold a hunting tournament to see who is better. ”

"Interesting."

When Yu Feibai heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and smiled: "Why didn't you say such a thing earlier, I definitely want to participate." ”

"You didn't come at the right time before, so naturally I didn't tell you."

Murong Guang smiled and reminded again: "However, as I said just now, you can only use ancient bows and arrows to participate in hunting, and you can't use any modern equipment. After all, people open up safari grounds just for fun, not really hunting for the sake of hunting. ”

"I understand that." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "If it is really for hunting, use modern firearms to shoot over, no matter how powerful the prey is, it will only end up dead." However, with ancient bows and arrows, it may not be possible, and perhaps the prey will not be able to stand still, and everyone may not be able to hit the target. ”

"That's what it means." Murong Guang smiled and said: "The difficulty has increased, if you can shoot the target with your own hands, it will be very rewarding." The mood immediately changed. ”

"Needless to say, we must participate."

While speaking, Yu Feibai suddenly frowned: "However, this bow and arrow is also a big problem." Uncle, do you know where ancient bows and arrows are sold? ”

"Haha, I have what you want, why bother buying another." Murong Guang chuckled and beckoned, "You guys come with me and let you see my collection of ancient bows and arrows." ”

Under the guidance of Murong Guang, the two came to a spacious room.

Wang glanced at it, and there was a bit of surprise on his face. Although he had already expected that Murong Guang should have a lot of bows and arrows in his collection. But I didn't expect so much. There were four or five shelves throughout the room, including three walls, where a longbow with different shapes of handle was hung.

Each bow has a different shape and a variety of shapes, which can be described as dazzling and dazzling.

"That's a lot of bows."

Yu Feibai was very surprised and said, "Uncle, I didn't expect you to be a collector of bows and arrows." ”

"What a collector, just play naturally and casually." Murong Guang smiled: "Moreover, don't look at these bows and arrows that seem to be very good. In fact, a lot of it is a kind of goods. ”

"What do you mean?"

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were very strange, because in their feelings, these bows and arrows should be considered well-made and of good quality. How did it get to Murong Guang's mouth. But it has become a silver wax tip that is not useful?

"Most of these bows are new."

At this time, Murong Guang explained: "The newly made bow and arrow must look very good. But for a truly experienced shooter, a new bow means instability in performance. It takes a lot of time to get used to it......"

"Oh."

Yu Feibai was a little surprised: "Do you have so many bows and arrows, but you have to buy Uncle Bagen's horn bow." ”

"That's right, that's why."

Murong Guang nodded and admitted, "The Ox Horn Bow has been around for decades. Uncle Bagan used it a lot, and the bowstring performance was already very stable, and it was impossible to change anything. So it can make people get started quickly and take control. But don't worry, although most of the bows here are new, there are a few old ones......"

While speaking, Murong Guang picked out a few longbows and handed them to Wang Guan and Yu Feibai to watch.

"Of these bows, I can't say it's the best, but it's definitely the most handy." Murong Guang introduced: "For example, this bow is the work of Mr. Yang, the tenth generation of the national intangible cultural heritage Juyuan. ”

"Juyuan?" Wang Guan was curious: "What is the origin?" ”

"It's the equivalent of an ancient arsenal." Murong Guang said with a smile: "During the Qing Dynasty, Juyuan was a royal workshop, but in the Republic of China, guns became the mainstream, and Juyuan became a folk workshop. ”

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this craft was almost lost, and it was not until 98 years that Mr. Yang inherited the ancestral business, retook the helm of Juyuanhao, and became the only successor of today's traditional Chinese bow and arrow."

Speaking of this, Murong Guang also sighed a little: "Mr. Yang's craftsmanship has nothing to say, this bow is made by him himself, and the quality is guaranteed." But it's a pity that I only bought it three years ago, and the performance is barely stable, so it's just more comfortable. ”

"Performance or something, for me can be completely ignored." Yu Feibai is very self-aware: "Anyway, I'm a novice, as long as I can draw the bow and shoot arrows normally, as for whether it is stable or not, I can directly ignore it." ”

"It's also ......"

Murong Guang smiled: "Since this is the case, then you can use this Juyuan Bow." ”

"Okay."

Yu Feibai nodded, and then said with a smile: "Wang Guan's strength is relatively large, you choose a heavy bow for him." But if you have an iron bow, a metal bow or something, just give him one. ”

"Get out."

As soon as he heard it, he knew that Yu Feibai was not embarrassed, Wang Guan glanced at him, and then turned around and smiled: "Don't want the iron bow, give me a more dexterous bamboo and wood bow." ”

"Dexterous bamboo bow ......" Murong Guang thought for a while, immediately walked to a shelf and took down a longbow, and then smiled: "Do you want to see if this is okay?" ”

Wang Guan took the longbow and looked at it, only to see that the bow was long, about 130 centimeters, and the surface was wrapped with leather and coated with black lacquer. It looks a little quaint, but it exudes a sense of sophistication everywhere.

"I don't have a bamboo bow, this is a mulberry bow."

At the same time, Murong Guang said with a smile: "But this bow is a bit special, it is a bow and arrow enthusiast, referring to the bow-making methods of various countries in the world, and then synthesizing according to his own understanding, and then making this bow in a patchwork manner." ”

"Huh?"

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai heard the sound, and there were a little weird expressions on their faces.

"Eh, don't think this bow is bad." Murong Guang shook his head and said: "There is a saying on the Internet that technology nerds change the world, which may be a bit exaggerated, but don't underestimate the folk masters." Or he doesn't have Mr. Yang's master-level craftsmanship, and he doesn't handle the details very well, but the quality of the bows carefully made by others is not bad. ”

"Oh."

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai nodded lightly, but their expressions were noncommittal.

"Don't think I'm talking nonsense." Murong Guang said solemnly: "This bow has extremely strong penetrating power, and within a hundred steps, it can completely penetrate a two-inch-thick arrow target. ”

"Really?" Yu Feibai said in disbelief: "Have you tried it yourself?" ”

"Uh, I can't try."

Murong Guang smiled embarrassedly: "The strength of this bow is too great, the string is very tight, I can only pull a small half." ”

When Yu Feibai heard this, he immediately took the bow in Wang Guan's hand, and did not rush to try to pull the bow, but first carefully looked at the bowstring, only to see that the bowstring was very tight, slightly larger than the ordinary bowstring, and there was a bit of transparency, I don't know what material it is made of.

"I don't know what the material is." Murong Guang shook his head and said, "It may be the tendon of some kind of animal, after mixing and refining, it has become like this." It's tough anyway, and it's hard to pull away. ”

"I'll try it......"

At the right time, Yu Feibai took a deep breath, held the bow in one hand, buckled the string with the other, and then slowly pulled the bowstring a few points apart, but when he wanted to go further, his arm began to tremble. The fingers were completely white, and the strings seemed to have cut through the skin and seeped into the flesh.

"Ahh

After a while, Yu Feibai gave up, shaking his fingers and saying unconvinced: "It's not that I can't pull it open, but the string is too tight and hurts my hand, if you give me a finger guard, I will definitely be able to pull a full moon." ”

"Tell me earlier."

At this time, Murong Guang smiled lightly, opened the drawer next to him, and took out another tray, only to see that the wrenches were neatly placed in the tray.

The materials of these wrenches are different, including gold, silver, copper, iron, and bamboo, wood, and tooth bones, but all of them are finely carved and the surface is filled with warm pulp. Wang Guan and Yu Feibai are experienced, and they know at a glance that these wrenches are definitely antiquities.

Of course, the most important thing is that these wrenches are practical objects, not ornamental objects.

There must be a difference in this, for example, the topaz wrench in Lu Zigang's Baijun picture in Wang Guan's collection is purely ornamental, and these wrenches in Murong Guang's collection are really practical and gauntlets when archery.

Generally speaking, the price of ornamental wrenches is more expensive, after all, ornamental items must be worn by nobles, not only the use of materials and materials, but also the surface of the outer wall is more carefully carved verses or patterns, the value must be very high.

As for the practical wrench, it's not worthless, but the price is definitely relatively low. So when they saw Murong Guang take out a wrench, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were a little surprised at most, and they didn't make a fuss.

"Finger guards are here, you can pick one yourself."

Murong Guang was really well prepared, and after signaling, he suggested at the same time: "According to my experience, generally speaking, tooth horn wrenches are more comfortable to use. It is not as hard as metal, nor as soft as bamboo, it is not light or heavy, and it is just right for ......."

"Okay, then I'll pick a deer bone."

Yu Feibai was not polite, and directly took a light brown wrench with eyes. (To be continued......)
