Chapter 102: The Eve of Departure
Playing with a cold iron agarwood arrow in his hand, Zhou Hao pondered carefully. Suddenly, he got up, pushed open the door and walked out.
The portrayal of the arrow array requires a hundred times more concentration and the unity of heart and hand. In order to avoid being disturbed by the two women, and in order to disturb the two girls in their sleep once the explosion caused by the failure of the carving array, Zhou Hao simply walked to the creek far away, lit a bonfire, sat cross-legged in the firelight, calmed down, and began to vomit.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Hao finally entered a state of no distractions and extreme concentration, and then grabbed a cold iron agarwood arrow and prepared to carve the formation.
The body of the cold iron agarwood arrow is made of thousand-year-old agarwood, and the toughness is far above that of ordinary mortal iron, and it is extremely difficult for the carving knife to leave traces on it, let alone want to carve the array.
Zhou Hao's face was extremely calm, he grabbed the special carving knife, spit out the palm of his hand slightly, poured into the slightest internal strength, and began to depict it on the body of the arrow.
Although the thousand-year-old agarwood is hard and tough, it is still flying sawdust under the sharp carving knife driven by internal strength, which does not cause much obstacle to Zhou Hao.
From the first time the arrow formation was depicted to now, it has been half a year, and Zhou Hao has carved hundreds of formations. Repeating the same action hundreds of times, Zhou Hao could almost write without thinking. In the process of carving the array, it is like a cloud of water flowing with peers, without the slightest pause.
From the wrist to the fingertips, it is round and freehand, without a little sluggishness!
Every array, every mantra, between the hearty iron hooks and silver strokes, there are both gods and shapes.
Zhou Hao was like a god under the knife, his expression was focused, and his hand movements were even more unhurried, with a full sense of rhythm and rhythm.
After comprehending the way of movement and stillness, the opportunity of speed and slowness, Zhou Hao's speed of carving arrays. It's no longer blindly fast, or blindly slow. It's slow when it's time to be slow. Hurry when it's time to hurry.
Zhou Hao cooperated with his breathing and heartbeat, and went under the knife rhythmically, so that his hand would not be unstable because of his breathing and heartbeat. In the past, when the moment failed, it was most likely a small fluctuation in mood, or an unsteady breathing and heartbeat, and the wrist was also unstable.
Now that this biggest obstacle has been overcome, Zhou Hao's success rate of the formation will definitely be greatly improved.
The Dragon and Tiger Four Elephant Arrow Array consists of one hundred and eight array symbols, as well as seventy-two mantras. A full hundred and eighty characters. It shall be carved into the body of a small arrow. At the same time, it has to be staggered. The size of each character is no larger than the size of a grain of rice.
Zhou Hao, who has long been accustomed to all this, is like carving a very exquisite work of art. The purple-red body of the cold iron agarwood arrow kept rotating in his hand, and countless fine sawdust exuding a faint fragrance flew away. An incomparably mysterious arrow array began to take shape.
Half an hour later, the last mantra was waved away, and a complete dragon and tiger four-elephant array was finally completely presented on the purple-red arrow body.
The process was surprisingly smooth, and the thousand-year-old agarwood, which was hard and fine, did not cause much difficulty. After overcoming the problem of its own stability, the success rate soared.
Zhou Hao held the cold iron agarwood arrow with both hands, and stroked the mysterious runes on the arrow with great satisfaction.
"I don't know how many taels of silver a pot of piercing arrows. How much can the power of these 600,000 taels of cold iron agarwood arrows be increased by replacing them with these 600,000 taels of agarwood arrows?"
Zhou Hao couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, looked at the boulder more than twenty zhang away, spit out his palm slightly, instantly activated the arrow array with his internal strength, and shook his hand. He took the cold iron agarwood arrow as a hand-throwing arrow and threw it out.
The cold iron agarwood arrow that turned into a ball of light crossed a distance of more than 20 zhang in an instant, and the boulder in the middle was more than half a zhang high and four or five feet thick.
"Poof!" There was a soft sound, and the cold iron agarwood arrow that carved the dragon and tiger four elephant arrow array, as if penetrating into the tofu, passed through the boulder four or five feet thick, and flew out more than ten zhang, shooting a big tree hugged by one person, and then it fell with all its strength. ...,
Zhou Hao looked at the great power of the cold iron agarwood arrow combined with the dragon and tiger four elephant arrow array, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he straightened up and picked up the cold iron agarwood arrow that fell into the grass.
Seeing that there was not even a trace of scratches left on the arrow's body, and the arrows and arrow feathers were not deformed in the slightest, Zhou Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "It is worthy of being a divine weapon of 20,000 taels of silver! This has not yet been shot with a bow and arrow, and it has not yet been infused with internal strength." If you use the Star Silver Bow to shoot a real Dragon and Tiger Four Elephant Arrow Array, how powerful should it be?"
Zhou Hao thought for a moment and continued: "Then even if Zuo Yuxi has a low-grade spirit armor, he will definitely not be able to stop it. It's just that I don't know if a spiritual martial cultivator like Nangong Yu can resist hard if he doesn't have a defensive spiritual weapon?"
Zhou Hao smiled, put away this cold iron agarwood arrow, and began to engrave the second arrow.
This night, Zhou Hao didn't do anything, and even put aside his daily cultivation, concentrating on depicting the arrow formation with all his might.
It wasn't until the east turned white and the rooster sang that Zhou Hao stood up, shook off the sawdust all over his body, and completed a night's hard work.
"It's a pity, it's a pity! After a busy night, I only carved fifteen arrows, and I failed to do three. Twelve dragon and tiger four elephant arrows, just enough for three dragon and tiger four elephant arrow arrays, I don't know if it's enough?"
Zhou Hao grabbed the twelve cold iron agarwood arrows carved into the arrow array in his hand, and said thoughtfully.
"Well, it's not my business to follow Xia Mubai out to do the task, this dragon and tiger four elephant arrow array is only left at the most critical time. ”
Zhou Hao inserted twelve cold iron agarwood arrows into the quiver with his backhand, turned around and walked into the house.
Qin Yin and Lin Meirou knew that Zhou Hao was leaving today, so they also got up early and packed their bags for Zhou Hao.
Looking at the two girls who were busy packing up the two large packages, Zhou Hao smiled bitterly: "What are you going to do when I go on a picnic, how can I bring so many messy things?"
Lin Meiroujiao smiled and said, "I don't know how long you have been out this time, it's always right to bring more things!"
"Yes, this time the thief went out alone, but you have to take care of yourself!"
Zhou Hao smiled, stretched out his hand to take the two big burdens, and put them on the back of the Hissing Wind Beast: "Okay, okay, I'll come back as soon as possible! ”
Qinyin's eyes were red, and the milk swallow threw herself into Zhou Hao's arms like a nest, holding Zhou Hao's waist and not letting go. Lin Meirou also walked over and gently snuggled in Zhou Hao's arms.
Zhou Hao hugged left and right, unable to move, and smiled helplessly: "You guys are like this, do you still let me go?"
Only then did the two women let go of Zhou Hao and watched Zhou Hao step onto the hissing wind beast. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
