"We seem to have only customized one of these sample patterns, right? After paying the rent of the dart board, we still had a little surplus on hand, so we tried to customize some patterns, and the first thing we considered was this kind of hand-shaking arrow pattern device for emergency contact. Wu Xing looked at the direction of the dart flag, and said suspiciously: "Calculating the time, it will probably be three or two days after we leave the city to pick up the goods." Could it be that Dota, Xiaotu, and Bao inquired about them and found them? But...... Even if it's really them, how can they find our exact location in the deep mountains and old forests?"

"I, we, in, this, in!" said Bargan in that direction in a dragon-like manner, and then said with a smile, "If it's them, we'll have a good time." ”

It didn't take long for him to see Duota, Xiaotu, and Bao Da with torches, carrying air death lanterns, and looking for the direction of Bagen's voice. Looking at their equipment for a long journey, it is estimated that they have been looking for a long time.

Several people in the Shunfeng Dart Bureau saw each other, and naturally there was a joy of reunion after a long absence. As for the identity of the dust, Qin Lan just briefly introduced it with the words "dart slip client", and then asked straight to the point: "How did the three of you find here?"

"The landlord sent these and told us the name of a mountain, saying that we could meet you near that mountain. Bao Da handed a half-human-high wooden box to Qin Lan, and said: "The land of Bashu is mountainous, and many of the locals rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and they know some hunting and tracking skills. Duota and Xiaotu's skills in tracking in the wild are indeed not bad, and in this deep mountain and old forest, the traces of someone driving the way are still obvious. It's just that after chasing and chasing, there is no trace. If it weren't for the muffled thunder, we would have been completely unoriented. Later, we were a little worried, after all, we were not sure whether this side was friend or foe, so we simply used the hand-shaking arrow pattern to see if we would get any response. No, I heard Bagan's uniquely loud voice. ”

The reason why Bao Da and the other three suddenly couldn't find the traces of Bagen and the other three is probably the time when Bagen deliberately processed and covered up the footprints. It's just that Bagen and the other three didn't have time to explain at this time, on the one hand, because of "it's a long story", and on the other hand, because Qin Lan had already opened the wooden box brought by Bao Da.

The style of the wooden box is very ordinary, with red lines on a black background, the pattern should be a certain totem in ancient times, and the image is very abstract and unlike; The word "will" immediately raised the value of the contents of the wooden box, which represented the production of one of the leaders of the "far-fetched society"!

It is not the common copper lock that locks the lid of the wooden box, but a knot called a "bagel".

In addition to the difference in rope thickness, color, warp and weft, material, etc., the biggest key is the knot, which carries the most simple understanding of the ancient sages on the way of heaven and earth. It's a pity that on the one hand, it is very old, and on the other hand, it is also the appearance of inscriptions, so that basically no one can still recognize the type of the whole knot, let alone the original intention and the truth of the first saint's creation of the knotted rope.

"The bow is one of the ancient weapons, the arrow can be sent far, the origin of this method is the most ancient, the ancestor of the barbarians of the Starfall Continent is in Zhuolu, and the bow and arrow are used purely to win, this is the earliest one with a bow and arrow, but the bow and arrow at that time are all ...... with bamboo and wood."

Izuchen looked at the thing in the wooden box, his expression couldn't help but be a little dazed, and he muttered to himself.

Bagan obviously thought of the reason why Izuchen suddenly said this, but the expression on his face was still skeptical, and he asked, "Is this the legendary bow and bamboo?"

Xiao Tu scratched his head and muttered, "This looks like a bamboo bow when children play war games!"

Inside the wooden box was a piece of dry timber made of strips of bamboo, a bowstring with five distinct knots tied in sequence, and three or two pieces of utensils that no one could name for a while. The wooden box is filled with a faint fragrance of bamboo leaves, which is very special.

"This bamboo bow ...... It looks a little familiar!" Wu Xinghu said suspiciously: "You say, did these two things come from the original fishing rod?"

Xiaotu stretched out his hand and gestured on the bamboo bow, and said, "If you cut the bamboo pole into bamboo pieces and tie it into strips...... That's pretty much what it looks like now. The color hasn't changed, it's still the same bamboo pole yellow. ”

"The ornament of "Piercing the Stone" attached to the Xuantie needle pattern by the post station star is a commentary on the exercises, which needs to be interpreted in a state of inner vision during meditation. Qin Lan said eloquently: "The bower, knead the wood and string it to make a target." The most important process of making a bow is to bend it. The original longbow was a simple rounded shape, and it could not be roasted by fire, which would reduce the tension of the bow, nor could it be bent into place all at once, in which case the back of the bow would not break and cause internal injuries and lose its elasticity. The process of bending is called 'taming the bow', which is to get the back of the bow to gradually adapt to the bending. ”

"Bow taming requires a special bracket, yes, that's what we're seeing in this wooden box now. The bracket can be made of hardwood, with a groove dug vertically at one end to support the bow, and the other end managed to be fixed vertically to the ground. Eight to ten chord slots are carved at an equal distance of one inch from top to bottom, with the first chord slot six inches from the bracket head. Tie the rope to both ends in the relaxed state of the bow back, put the center of the bow back on the groove of the bracket, use even force, slowly pull the string, and hang it into the first string groove, and the bow back is slightly bent. This is to carefully check whether the curve of the arch is smooth and even, mark the areas that are too rigid, relax the arch back, and trim and fine-tune until you are satisfied. Then pull the rope apart, gradually increase the opening and hang the groove downward, and keep trimming the bow back until a satisfactory and uniform arc is formed. Every three or four chord grooves are added, and the rope can be tightened. This process should not be rushed, especially before each opening is increased, and it is best to allow the arch back to 'rest' for two quarters of an hour to avoid damage to the wood. Don't tighten too much each time, it's best to tighten one inch at a time. When the full bow opening that is suitable for the archer is reached, the bow is tamed. ”

"What I just said is the process of making a normal bow. Starbow, on the other hand, is a completely different story. Qin Lan said: "In addition to the dry material, the star bow is basically decorated to replace the bow body and bowstring, and then supplemented by Seiya. However, this is only a common star bow in the Seven Kingdoms of the Starfall Continent. Legend has it that the barbarians were actually a country living on the Starfall Continent back then, but they had to flee to the north because they were defeated in the war for hegemony with the ancestors. Legend has it that the barbarians mastered a star bow called the 'Bamboo Bow', one of the materials used was the 'Bow Bamboo' and the other was the 'Dragon Tendon', and then the process of 'taming the bow' was completed by successive star attachment patterns. However, this method of making bows is now lost among the Seven Kingdoms of Starfall......."

Qin Lan turned her head to look at Chuchen, casting a verifying eye.

Izuchen took over the conversation and said: "The most special point of the 'Bamboo Bow' is that after completing the bow taming, it can also be used as an auxiliary to other star bow dry materials, and it can be compounded with the decoration of the dry wood to form a new star bow. For example, the star bow made of bamboo bow and ebony wood is also called 'dragon tongue bow' because the shape of ebony wood is quite similar to a dragon's horn, and the bowstring is a dragon's tendon, and the star arrow is like a tongue. ”

Bao Da, Duota, and Xiaotu were newcomers, and when they heard what Chuchen said, they couldn't help but be a little curious about Chuchen's identity and origin, but when they saw Bagen, Wu Xing, and Qin Lan, they all listened attentively, and it was not easy to ask questions.

"Complete the process of 'taming the bow' by attaching the star ornament pattern one by one......," Wu Xing had an idea and asked, "Does it mean that you don't need to advance to the Star Envoy, you can also use this 'bamboo bow'?"

"If Qin Dart has a jade wrench on his head, he can give it a try now. Izumi said noncommittally, and casually pointed out how to wind the bamboo bow.

Qin Lan once received a jade wrench from the examiner of Wenqu Xingjun when she was in the Heavenly Ladder Trial, and when she heard the words, she took it out, put the jade wrench finger on her finger, and took out the "bamboo bow" from the wooden box.

After the stringing was ready, Qin Lan first tried to open the bow twice, and found that the bamboo bow was soft, except for the larger size, it was really like a toy bow when children played war games.

"Now you try to run the technique and condense the star power in the knot in the center of the bowstring. Izumi pointed out loud.

The knot in the center of the bowstring lit up, and you could see that there was also a milky white flocculent similar to the jade pendant inside. The star power is condensed in the flocculent, and at this time it seems to be wrapped in a layer of cotton wool outside the bowstring, and there is a jade wrench between the cotton wool and the finger.

"You are practicing the "Piercing Stones" exercise, which is just right for the cultivation of the Bow Star Envoy. Izumi continued to point, "Now try to continue to compress the star force at the knot of the bowstring, and then make a move to open the bow and arrows. ”

Qin Lan heard what she said and did so.

As she opened the bow, the cotton wool at the knot of the rope generally formed a milky white Seiya in front of the bow, and as the amplitude of the bow increased, the shape and style of Seiya gradually became clear and concrete, spreading from Seiya to the direction of the shaft of the arrow, and finally stopping at the part of the arrow feather, not an inch!

Izuchen said, "See, this is the gap between the Star Monarch and the Star Envoy. Even if an ordinary archer opens a bow, it takes all his strength. Even the archer who was holding a sun-shooting bow before the first year of the ephemeris needed to use the technique of integrating the exercises into the lunge to open the bow when shooting down the fire meteor, just to light up the stars in the sea of stars in his body as much as possible. The reason why you can't open a full bow and form a star arrow now is that in addition to not reaching the realm, the star power is also not up to the standard. ”
