Chapter 116: Nirvana

The so-called "striking iron" has no anvils, only a pedestal made of dozens of stones the size of steamed buns.

The shape of the stones is all irregular, and the surface is quite pitted, but the color is colorful and somewhat mottled.

There is no stove or bellows, just a star hammer.

The star hammer is a small finger-length hammer that hangs around the neck like an ordinary necklace. Bagen's star hammer is the style of the short-handled hammer common to barbarian weapons, the style is rough and angular, but the ornamentation on it is very different from the delicate and gorgeous ornaments on the star soldiers of the Seven Kingdoms, but it is very close to the style of the original totem of the barbarians.

The piece of "iron" forged by the Bagan Star Hammer was a stone placed at the top of the "dangerous" stone pile, and all the stones were piled up on a wooden pier the size of a tabletop....... The stone pedestal naturally collapsed to the ground.

Bang!

The muffled sound of striking iron was followed by a rumbling sound of the stones, which were clearly not ordinary stones.

Bagan looked at the archer and sneered, "It seems that I still haven't been able to grasp the meaning of 'a straight line'." ”

Wu Xing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pointed to the wooden pier the size of a tabletop where the stones were located, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, these stones are all star stones, right?"

The archer first made a slightly calming gesture to Wu Xing, and then said while working with Bagen to put the stones together one by one and at random, and said: "Your current realm is still used to treating each star stone separately, but it is the opposite of the wooden pier....... The 'straight line' I just mentioned refers to the striking point of the star hammer and the center point of the system where the star stone and wooden pier are located, and there is a 'straight line' between the two points. ”

"If the hit point and the center point are both accurate, you can use the hit point of the star hammer to cause a co-vibration at the center point of the target system. The purpose of creating coseismic is to crush the star stone and remove some impurities in it. In fact, this is a bit like the process of screening, screening is the use of a sieve to make the fine-grained materials smaller than the sieve hole pass through the sieve surface, and the coarse-grained materials larger than the sieve hole remain on the sieve surface, so as to complete the process of separating coarse and fine materials. And we are now forming some kind of 'sieve surface' through the co-vibration formed by the star hammer and the target, and each star hammer forging is equivalent to a screening. ”

"And the focus of this set of exercises is to find a suitable 'sieve surface', so as to screen out the 'impurities'. If you have cultivated this set of exercises to the Great Perfection realm......" Seeing that Bagen was confused, the archer went straight to the point and said, "You can break the armor with one hammer!"

Sizzle!

Bagen, Wu Xing, and Qin Lan gasped in unison.

Seiya's power lies in the fact that the Star Monarch does not have enough time to summon the Star Armor for defense, and is usually hit by an arrow between lightning and fire. However, this is not to say that the Star Armor is vulnerable. Especially the Star Zun grade Star Armor, some Star Zun even jokingly called his Star Armor "Xuanwu Tortoise Shell", its tenacity can be imagined! Even if the first-grade Star Zun is against the third-grade Star Zun, the former does not dare to guarantee that he can break the armor of the latter with one move!

"If you are able to complete the cultivation of 'one straight line', it means that you have reached the realm of 'success', and you will be able to 'see' that 'straight line' when you take out the hammer, and then you can go to the Great Rift Valley Stele Forest....... As for whether he can have this opportunity to cultivate the complete set of "Heavenly Hammer" exercises that Qin Xiaotian left in the stele forest, no one can say for sure. The archer muttered a little distractedly: "It is said that the hammer method of forging the Titan Gold in the barbarian Extreme Northern Camp is just the realm of the Heavenly Hammer. Back then, Qin Xiaotian was also worried that the barbarians had mastered the full set of exercises of the "Thread of Heavenly Hammers", so he left the exercises of the Great Perfection Realm in the Great Rift Valley Stele Forest, which could be regarded as artificially creating some difficulties for the barbarian Hammer Star Venerables. ”

"You should know what I did to teach you the exercises of the Heavenly Hammer on my behalf, right?" ”

The archer didn't explain the reason for "taking care of him", and Bagan didn't ask more, just bowed respectfully, and in response, he summoned the star hammer again and swung the second hammer.

Although Qin Lan guessed the purpose of the archer to bring everyone to the grass house, she heard the term "closed disciple" from the archer for the first time, and she was still a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Master Archer is planning to go far away?" Qin Lan asked.

"We'll talk about that later. The archer beckoned to Qin Lan and Wu Xing, walked to the other side of the grass house, and said, "You two come to help me finish the freshly picked tea leaves." ”

It is one of the initial production processes of green tea, yellow tea, black tea, oolong tea, Pu'er tea, and some black tea. The main purpose is to evaporate part of the water of the fresh leaves at high temperature, so that the tea leaves become soft, easy to roll and shape, and at the same time emit a green odor and promote the formation of a good aroma.

Of course, the tea leaves harvested by the coiled ancient tea tree are not finished in the way of ordinary tea.

The shooter simply demonstrated, in fact, by condensing star power on the palm of the hand and fingertips to stir-fry the tea leaves, and then kneading, the process of finishing and rolling takes a little longer than ordinary tea. What needs to be paid attention to a little is only the density of star power condensation and the length of contact time with the tea leaves, after which the tea leaves will become charred, and the charred tea leaves will have to be picked out again.

As a result, Wu Xing and Qin Lan could also chat with the shooter during the process of making the initial tea.

The archer was not idle, but used a clay pot to fetch water from the side of the stream, and put it on a wooden shelf in the grass house, ready to start boiling water.

"Didn't you just ask, why is the star stone superimposed on the star hammer, and there is still no trace left on that wooden pier?" the archer was idle and said eloquently, "because the wooden pier is sycamore wood." The sycamore tree can only grow in the Great Rift Valley, and it is said that it is not a native tree species of the Starfall Continent originally, but a sacred tree in the heavenly court. In the legends of the old calendar, the sycamore is a male tree, the tung is a female tree, and the sycamore grows the same age, lives and dies together. You should all know that the age of a tree can be judged by the growth rings on its body, right? The most amazing thing about this tree species is that the plane tree grows for a year, the tree grows for another year, and then it is the turn of the plane to grow for another year....... In this way, there are the annual rings of the sycamore. In fact, if you look a little closer, you can also find that the annual rings of the sycamore are not one deep and one shallow, but one black and one white. Wutong is the same elder and elder, born and died together, you have me, I have you. ”

"In the legends of the previous dynasties of the old calendar, there was a heavenly kingdom, and there was a pair of sacred birds from the heavenly court in the country: the male was the phoenix, and the female was the phoenix. After reaching the age of 500, Jixiangmu set himself on fire and regained from the ashes, and since then it has been delicious and abnormal, and he will not die again. The version that we have now heard from the folk has actually confused the phoenix with another monster called the 'immortal bird'. ”

"In fact, although the sycamore is a tree, it has the characteristics of not losing to the star stone at all, and there are almost no 'natural enemies' on the Starfall Continent....... In addition to the lightning strike from the Heavenly Court, the sycamore tree that has been more than 100 years old already has the magical property of attracting lightning strikes, and even in an environment like the Great Rift Valley, which is almost in the 'Netherworld', it cannot escape the fate of being struck by lightning. Moreover, once the sycamore tree is struck by lightning from the Heavenly Court, it is very easy to be ignited by the Heavenly Fire. At this time, the phoenix will be attracted to lay eggs on the flame of the plane tree, and then use the flame of the plane tree to take turns to hatch the phoenix eggs. After the phoenix egg hatches, the phoenix also dies; except for the chicks that have just broken the shell in the phoenix egg, the phoenix only leaves two relics in the shape of alum stone that are similar to those used to make black dye, which are called 'nirvana', and among the ashes left over from the sycamore wood, a small dead branch can be obtained, which is called 'pan'. ”

Hearing this, Wu Xing was speechless: "It turns out that this is the folk version of 'Nirvana Rebirth'? ”

"What about those phoenix chicks that have just hatched?" Qin Lan's focus was obviously on other aspects: "Those chicks were orphaned at birth, how can they be fed and raised?"

"The phoenix chick is to 'Nirvana' as nutrients, perched on the dead wood of the sycamore, after 9981 days can grow, and then devour two 'Nirvana' can grow into a new phoenix. The archer said: "In some records of the previous dynasties of the old calendar, it was mentioned that the phoenix was born of the divine beast Suzaku, and it also had to go through reincarnation in the world before it could return to heaven. ”

"But, phoenix chicks, are they exactly two?" Wu Xing asked curiously.

"I haven't seen this with my own eyes. The archer was skeptical: "The lifespan of the phoenix is far more than the lifespan of our star monarch, and if it is calculated according to the cycle of five hundred years old, almost no one can see the process of the phoenix's nirvana." Legend has it that when the phoenix chicks grow up, they will be eliminated from each other, and eventually the two remaining chicks will be the future phoenix. However, 'Nirvana' is above the main list of the 'Tiancai List', which means that it is ranked in the top ten, and 'Pan' is above the main list of the 'Dibao List', which means that it is also ranked in the top ten. ”

"It is rumored that there is a 'Starfall Pill' made of 'Nirvana' in Baicaomen, which can cure the 'Starfall' state of Xingjun's overdraft of the Star Sea, and I don't know if it's true or not. As for the 'Pan', it is an indispensable material for making the 'Sun Shooting Bow'. ”

Whether it is "Starfall Pill" or "Sun-Shooting Bow", the shock to Wu Xing and Qin Lan at this time is no less than an earth dragon turnover.
