Chapter 41 Production

Lin Weiyin felt that there was no longbow that suited her, so she decided to make a one-of-a-kind longbow herself.

On this day, Lin Weiyin came to the armory, she opened the cabinet, and there was a dazzling array of woodworking tools in front of her. She looked at each tool carefully, thinking about how she could use them in the making of her longbow. Saws, rulers, planers, sandpaper...... Each tool flashed in her eyes with different uses and possibilities.

Jiang Lengyan heard the sound of "clanging" from the armory. She walked down the narrow hallway, listening intently for the tinkling bells. This is the armory she has just set up, and it holds all kinds of weapons, from swords to throwing knives, from armor to longbows, and almost any weapon in the world can be found here.

I can't help but wonder who is doing what in that voice. Lin Weiyin was sitting on a wooden bench beside her, holding a tree trunk in her hand, and intently carving the bow body. Her eyes were deep and determined, as if she possessed an indescribable power.

Jiang Lengyan approached the armory, looked at her focused appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "What are you doing!" ”

Lin Weiyin raised her head and looked at Jiang Lengyan with a smile. She pointed to the wooden bow in her hand and said, "I'm going to learn archery tomorrow, and I've decided to make my own longbow." ”

Jiang Lengyan was slightly stunned, she never thought that Lin Weiyin would have such a plan. She knew that Lin Weiyin's swordsmanship was already quite exquisite, and archery was just the icing on the cake for her, but she also understood Lin Weiyin's pursuit. At this moment, she decided to help her fulfill this wish.

"Are you sure you want to make a longbow?" Jiang Lengyan asked.

Lin Weiyin nodded and said firmly: "Yes, I want to challenge myself." ”

Jiang Lengyan approached Lin Weiyin with a smile and patted her shoulder with her hand: "Okay, since you have this determination, then I'll help you complete it together!" ”

"First of all, we need to find a suitable piece of wood." Jiang Lengyan looked up at the tall wood storage shelf, "There's a good looking pine over there, why don't we try it?" ”

Lin Weiyin nodded, and the two walked to the wood storage rack together. Jiang Lengyan grabbed the pine tree, shook it slightly, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, nodded with satisfaction: "It is indeed a good material." She first picked up a saw and began cutting the timbers with precision, trimming them just right.

She then smooths the surface of the wood with a planer to make it smoother. Then, using her exquisite carpentry skills, she gradually shaped a perfect bow. She looked at her work with great pride, the bow blade smooth and tough, perfectly suited to her requirements for the ultimate weapon.

The two of them worked together to make a longbow. Jiang Lengyan found the parts of the bow from the armory and taught Lin Weiyin how to assemble it, while Lin Weiyin studied it seriously, sometimes imitating, sometimes innovating.

Next, Lin Weiyin began to think about the production of bowstrings. Jiang Lengyan told Lin Weiyin that making bowstrings requires the use of high-strength bowstrings and flexible materials.

Lin Weiyin found a suitable bowstring in the armory, gently cut it with a knife, and began to twist it finely. With great skill and experience, she twisted the bowstring into a strong and powerful rope. She tugged hard, and the bowstring made a crisp sound, as if singing about her own strength.

Finally, Lin Weiyin began to assemble the various parts of the longbow. She used woodworking glue to precisely bond the bow body to the handle, giving the longbow excellent stability and elasticity. She used sandpaper to polish the entire bow body to a mirror-like finish, revealing the grain of the wood. Finally, she tied the bowstring to the ends of the bow, and the whole longbow was almost complete.

Lin Weiyin's gaze turned to the bow and arrow materials placed on the table. She took out a stick of steel and began to make arrowheads. She taps with a hammer to finely shape the arrow. She then puts the arrow in the fire and waits for it to turn red. A burning smell permeated, but Lin Weiyin's heart was full of anticipation.

The flames receded, and Lin Weiyin quickly dipped the arrow into the cooled water. As the water steamed, she took out the arrow and found it sharp. She holds the shaft of the arrow, attaches the arrow to it, and then secures it with a thin wire, making sure that the arrow does not come loose.

Lin Weiyin stood in front of the window of the armory, looking out at the mountains in the distance. She had a lot of thoughts, and her mind was surging with the imagination of arrow feathers. She decided to make a unique and delicate arrow feather that would ripple through the mountains and forests like fluttering wings.

So, Lin Weiyin began to work on making arrow feathers. She selects the finest eagle feathers and processes them carefully. She trimmed the eagle feathers just right, meticulously twisting each feather together. She weaves with great skill, weaving feathers into dancing patterns. Lin Weiyin knew that only her arrow feathers were beautiful and tough enough to be worthy of the bow she made.

In the process of production, Lin Weiyin remembered her childhood. Her mentor often taught her: "A weapon is a tool to protect yourself and others, but it is also an art that you must make with your heart to show your love and respect for life." ”

Gradually, a pair of delicate arrow feathers were completed in Lin Weiyin's hands. She gently inserted the feather into the body of the arrow, forming a perfect arrow. Picking up the longbow, Lin Weiyin felt a trace of powerful power surging into her heart.

A few hours passed, and a beautiful longbow appeared in front of the eyes of the two of them. Lin Weiyin stroked the bowstring of the newborn, and her heart was full of pride and joy. She knew that the longbow was not just a weapon, but a symbol of her challenge to herself.

The two of them got out of the arsenal and went to the playground. Lin Weiyin picked up the longbow she made herself and stood in front of the target. She took an arrow from her bosom and placed the magazine over the bowstring.

The sun set, illuminating the entire martial arts training ground. Lin Weiyin closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the power of the longbow poured into her heart. She slowly pulled the bowstring, gathering all her strength, and let go.

The arrow pierces through the air and is aimed at the center of the target. The pieces of paper on the target were immediately shot through, and the confetti fell on Lin Weiyin's side. She opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Lengyan with a smile on her face.

"I made it! I've learned how to make longbows! Lin Weiyin cried with joy.

Jiang Lengyan approached her and patted her on the shoulder: "Congratulations, you are an amazing person." ”

Lin Weiyin turned over and hung the longbow on her waist, feeling the satisfaction of the homemade weapon. This longbow not only has the meaning of making it herself, but also the perfect embodiment of her personal weapon.
