Chapter 193: Yuan Thirteen Arrows
Ning Que in the corner was awakened by the sound of a thunderous hammer, and then was stunned again by the violent sound of the tip of the hammer. He faintly heard the faint sound of thunder and rain and soft laughter in the dream-like drowsy world.
I don't know how long it took, but he woke up rubbing his eyes, and found that he was still leaning against the wall of the iron-striking room, and the fire not far away was suppressed by the earth, and the room was no longer hot, and there was no one in the room.
Rubbing his somewhat sore shoulders, he stood up against the wall and walked to the window, and found a box made of paulownia on the table, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he remembered that there was no such thing on the table yesterday.
The paulownia box is rectangular, about the length of an arm's length, open the box, you can see six or seven strangely shaped metal objects lying quietly at the bottom of the box, the surface of these metal objects is dark, look carefully to find that there are countless thin cracks on the surface of the seemingly unanimous surface, it is actually made of countless extremely fine metal wires woven and twisted, just by the naked eye, as if you can feel the strong tenacity contained in it.
Ning Que's fingers slowly stroked the surface of the dark thing in the box, feeling the slight rough touch from the fingertips, as well as the inexplicable tough feeling, and the tips of his eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.
The shape of these dark metal objects is very strange, I don't know what they are used for, especially the piece of metal about the size of three fingers resting on the top of the box, even if it is used to smash people, it will not be heavy enough, not to mention that the metal piece is embedded in a tiny silver tray, and the tray is inlaid with a bright diamond that only shows the top tip, which does not look like a weapon at all but more like a ......
"Isn't this a wedding ring?"
Ning Que muttered to himself, his bright eyes were full of joy, he had already seen what these dark metal parts in the box were used for, and with his absolute familiarity with the bow and arrows and his dexterous hands, he began to assemble them without anyone to guide him.
The sound of a slight metal wedge snapping in Titicaca continued to sound, and after a very short time, a dark metal bow appeared in his hand, and then he grasped the bow body made of countless thin metal wires in his left hand, and with his right hand, he pulled out the special double-twisted eight-strand wire in the box and began to wind it.
The swarthy longbow was lightly rested on the table, and then his gaze fell on the dark quiver next to the box, and he took a deep breath and slowly drew an arrow from the reed.
This is a long arrow made of alloy, and the shaft is designed to be extremely slender, and although it is made of hollow tube technology, it still looks extremely heavy in the hand.
Ning Que forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, holding the metal long spring with both hands, and slowly moved from the end of the arrow to the arrow cluster in his left hand, carefully feeling the subtle touch on the surface of the arrow shaft.
He touched it very carefully, and felt the unbreakable hardness and tenacity of the arrow shaft itself, and he looked very carefully, and saw the scale-like fine lines on the arrow shaft through the morning light outside the window, and he did not know how many hammers fell when forging the arrow, and how many thousands of layers were smashed together, and the layers were stacked and depended on each other.
In the middle of the fine lines of the material itself, there are several clearer and deeper lines that are combined in a very calm way, but the bottom is blank, giving people the feeling that there is one less line here, and if you can make up for the gap, these lines will instantly become flexible and lively.
Ning Que walked out of the iron-striking room with the heavy bow and arrow in his hand, and took a deep breath in the beautiful morning light projected from the east of the cliff, and his spirit became more refreshing.
There was a faint sound of snoring in the grass between the front of the house and the mirror lake, he looked around, and found that the senior brothers were lying under the tree and sleeping sweetly on the lakeside, with a few wine jugs scattered around them, Chen Pipi slept the deadest, and saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth from time to time, the seventh senior sister leaned against the ancient tree with her eyes closed, and a wine jug was hooked in her little finger and swayed up and down from time to time, as if she was fishing, on the other side of the tree, the second senior brother who was dressed in clothes and etiquette on weekdays was meticulous, and the ancient crown on his head that stood upright forever like a mallet had long been crooked.
Ning Que looked at the sleeping brothers and sisters outside the house in silence, guessing that they had been busy all night for themselves last night, and their chests gradually became very warm, but they didn't know what to say.
The second senior brother opened his eyes and woke up, got up and straightened the ancient crown on his head, and motioned for him to follow him towards the lakeside, not to disturb the sleep of those guys after they were tired and drunk.
Standing on the shore of the lake facing the lake breeze, the morning light and morning dew took away the heat and glow all around, and after a moment of silence, the second senior brother Yan SΓΉ said: "Go to the wasteland, don't fall into the prestige of the academy." Even if the academy will not lose its thousand-year-old reputation because of you alone, junior brother, you are now a celebrity in the Tang Dynasty, and you must not lose your identity. β
Ning Que said with a smile: "Where is a celebrity, it is a personal name." β
The second senior brother glanced at him and said appreciatively: "Indifferent to fame and fortune, you can see nothingness in fame, junior brother, what you said is good, if you let the senior brother hear it, you will definitely be introduced as a confidant." β
The senior brother he said was naturally the senior brother of the academy.
Ning Que was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Second Senior Brother, I worked hard for you last night. I thought I might need to consult Professor Huang He. β
"I don't know much about Fu Dao, but your master Yan Se is already the top person in the world, if he can't help you develop Fu Arrow, there is no point in you going to find Professor Huang. β
"Speaking of which, I still don't know where the professors live in the college. β
"The professors are all visiting professors, and there are many foreigners, and most of the time they live in seclusion in various parts of the mountains. β
"Why have I never met one in the mountains?"
At this time, the second senior brother said a very nonsense nonsense: "Because the mountain is a big mountain." β
Then he looked back at the dark bow and arrow on Ning Que's body and asked, "Do you want to give it a try?"
Ning Que nodded.
The senior brothers and sisters who were sleeping in the grass under the trees all woke up, and the senior brothers who hugged the pine and the flute and the flowers in other parts of the mountain also came out, and even the third senior sister Yu Curtain, who usually rarely appeared in front of everyone, did not know when they came to the lakeside, and eleven people surrounded Ning Que or waited nervously and silently, or chatted excitedly or scratched their hair to say that this matter was really meaningless, and the reason why I came to see the little junior brother try the arrow was purely because I was knocked out last night.
Ning Que lightly put the dark and slender talisman arrow on the iron bow, took a deep breath and raised it high, aiming at the high sky, as if he wanted to shoot down the sun that was actually still below the cliff at this time.
With a slight creak, the seemingly unshakable iron bow deformed slightly, and the taut bowstring was pulled back and sunk deep into the ring finger of his right hand, because this test shot was of great significance, and for the sake of safety, he chose the three-point string that he did not use very often.
With his action, the chatter on the lakeside stopped abruptly, and suddenly became extremely quiet, and the senior brothers and sisters on the second floor of the academy looked nervously or curiously at his fingers tightly gripping the bowstring.
In the mirror-like lake, fish that get up early to feed swim slowly.
The proud white goose on the other side of the lake was washing its chest and abdomen with water.
Between the forearm muscles in Ning Que's sleeve, the tight bowstring brushed his fingertips and rebounded at high speed, driving the dark black slender metal arrow to shoot forward suddenly at a speed invisible to the naked eye!
The sharp arrow cluster instantly protruded from the bow handshake, and when it ran out of a certain distance, there was a slight friction between the diamond and the metal arrow shaft embedded in the bow at the back, and the Jinzhou stone blade, which was ground out of a very complex profile, was like a tip dipped in ink on the paper, and a line was drawn on the arrow shaft very casually.
It was the blank space at the rune of the arrow shaft, the last stroke of the rune.
The tail of the arrow finally left the bow, I don't know if it was because it was too fast, or because the rune on the body of the arrow was stimulated, and when the tail of the arrow left the bow, it brought out a milky white turbulence.
And then...... The rune arrow disappeared in an instant!
No one on the shore of the lake could see the trajectory of this arrow clearly, and could see where it flew into the air, only the second senior brother who looked up at the sky narrowed his eyes slightly.
It was only at this time that a gust of wind arose, blowing Ning Que's clothes, who were still holding the bow, cheered up, and everyone by the lake felt slightly cool, and Ning Que's left hand, which was holding the bow, suddenly had a lot of dew.
The fish in the lake are still swimming slowly.
The big white goose on the other side finished washing and began to sing to the sky.
After a while, the brothers and sisters who were still staring at the sky and wanted to find the trajectory of the rune arrow saw a hole appear in the middle of the white cloud at a very high place, and through that hole, they could see the blue sky higher!
The fourth senior brother's voice trembled slightly and said, "Did you shoot it?"
The sixth senior brother's voice was hoarse and guessed, "It should be ejaculated." β
The seventh senior sister said in surprise: "Is it really shot by this arrow?"
The second senior brother said indifferently: "It's ejaculated." β
The expressions of the people by the lake changed suddenly, and they looked at the hole in the clouds high in the sky, and let out a burst of joyful exclamation. Senior Sister Yu Curtain's brows also slowly raised, and a smile appeared on her face, as if even she didn't expect that this talisman arrow could fly so high and have such great power.
At this time, Chen Pipi asked a very critical question, he rubbed his chubby face, looked up at the blue white cloud with difficulty, and asked in confusion: "Where did that arrow go?"
This question is indeed very crucial, but at this moment, the people of the academy who witnessed the birth of the first true meaning talisman arrow in history did not bother to pay attention to this critical question at all, and Senior Brother Jiu exclaimed: "Such a good thing, how can it be fun?"
Senior Brother Ten nodded again and again, stroked the strings of the guqin with his fingers, and said, "The spring cannot be without strings." β
The sixth senior brother lifted the heavy hammer from under his feet and said honestly: "The second senior brother used my hammer to strike iron. β
Senior Sister Seventh held the embroidery needle between her fingers and said with a smile: "I also helped a little." β
The ninth senior brother put the flute pipe to his lips, whining and blowing cheerful music, everyone was about to respond to each other with the sound like the night on the top of the cliff, and suddenly heard a very sad roar in the sky overhead, and instantly suppressed the sound of the flute by the lake, as if there was an immortal in the clouds who was blowing the flute.
Although all the people on the second floor of the academy are some idiots, they are definitely the smartest people in the world, listening to this sharp roar, they instantly guessed the reason, their expressions suddenly turned slightly pale, and with the fastest speed imaginable, they instantly ran away from Ning Que's side, scattered as birds and beasts, and each looked for a safe place to shelter.
Ning Que didn't know what was going to happen soon, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and he looked at the sky above him stupidly, his eyes reluctant to blink.
The second senior brother and Chen Pipi stood on either side of him, looking up at the sky with different expressions.
The sharp roar instantly spread from the distant sky to the lakeside, and the small black dot had just entered Ning Que's eyes, and the next moment it turned into a long metal arrow that tore through the air at high speed, piercing the top of his head!
The second senior brother waved his sleeves lightly, and his sleeves flew like a flag in the border village, rolling up the black shadow that was about to fall to the ground, and pulling it away with a clever twist, turning the direction of the metal rune arrow with terrifying speed and power.
There was a soft hiss, and a small hole was cracked in his sleeve.
There was a loud bang, and the pavilion in the center of Mirror Lake was blown down by half.
Ning Que's face was pale, and only then did he react, looking at the dusty lake and muttering, "I regret it......"
The seventh senior sister ran over with the lid of the pot, looked at the half-collapsed pavilion, her face was pale, and she muttered, "I hold the ......"
The second senior brother frowned and glanced at her displeasedly.
Everyone regrouped on the shore of the lake, pointing to the collapsed pavilion and talking excitedly.
The fourth senior brother looked at the lake where the smoke and dust had gradually dissipated, and with a smile of satisfaction that his long-cherished wish had been fulfilled, he walked along the wooden bridge, and came back with the talisman arrow in his hand, and at the same time took a small box.
"The diamond draws the last stroke of the rune, little junior brother, your idea is indeed genius, but it is a pity that a rune arrow can only be shot once and cannot be reused. Last night, I made a set of repair tools with the sixth child, but I haven't tried it yet, if you go to the wasteland and need to repair it, you can try to see if it can be done. β
He handed the small box to Ning Que, and reminded with a stern expression: "The material of the rune spring is rare, and it is extremely difficult to manufacture, there are only thirteen rune arrows in the quiver, you have to save some on the battlefield." β
Ning Que said seriously: "Senior brother, don't worry...... I'm definitely not going to all at once. β
"You simply don't have the ability to shoot all at once. After washing his hands by the lake, the second senior brother stood up and looked at him and said, "With your current realm, you can only shoot three arrows at most, and your body will not be able to bear it." β
Ning Que looked at the heavy talisman arrow in his hand, frowned and said, "Then what can I do?"
The fourth senior brother looked at the rune spring, and suddenly said with emotion: "This is an innovative rune design that created history, but it's a pity that it can't be promoted to the world." β
"Why can't you push the ......?"
"Because the little brother wrote this talisman can only be used by his telekinesis, if you want to use the talisman arrow, the archer itself must be a famous talisman, there are few talismans in the world who can write this talisman, and the talisman who can write this talisman is not even a sharper with enough strength, this iron bow is not so easy to pull. β
Hearing the words of the fourth senior brother, Ning Que felt a sore pain in his right shoulder, and even faintly mixed with a sharp pain like tearing, it may be that the muscles in that place were injured by the previous string control action.
The fourth senior brother said: "Little junior brother, this is the talisman arrow you developed, give it a name." β
Ning Que looked at the smile on the fourth senior brother's face...... Suddenly, his heart moved, and he said sincerely: "Fourth Senior Brother, please give me a name." β
The fourth senior brother was slightly stunned, smiled with emotion, and said, "Then hold ...... Since the bow and arrow materials are mixed with miscellaneous silver, which you feel most keenly, junior brother, is it better to call it a silver arrow?"
Ning Que listened to the word silver arrow, and his expression became a little strange.
The second senior brother said expressionlessly, "Change one." β
Chen Pipi pointed to the sky and asked, "Cloud Piercing Arrow?"
A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops came to meet each other, Ning Que shook his head again and again.
The second senior brother was silent for a moment and then said: "Fu Arrow travels with the help of the vitality of heaven and earth, there are only thirteen branches in the world now, and the junior brother is ranked thirteen, so ...... It is called Yuan Thirteen Arrows. β
