Chapter 285: The Secret of the Divine Staff
Hearing Fubi's question, Xiao Xiaoqi paused, why did he suddenly ask him if he was interested in the making of the magic stick?
However, Xiao Xiaoqi still responded: "Oh, I'm interested, I really want to know how the magic stick works." ”
At this time, Fubi hooked his finger at Xiao Xiaoqi, "You are lucky young man, today I will take you into the real magic world!"
This made Xiao Xiaoqi even more surprised, "Huh, isn't the production process impossible to pass on?"
"Shhhhhh ”
Xiao Xiaoqi still couldn't understand, "Why do you suddenly want to teach me this?"
Furby smiled mysteriously, and then asked, "So do you want to learn it or not?"
The two looked at each other for a while, but in the end, Xiao Xiaoqi couldn't hold back first, "I want to!"
The corners of Fubi's mouth curled up in a smug arc, "Let's get started." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the side of the wooden pile, and introduced: "To make the magic stick, you must first have good wood, which is very particular, not that the more noble the wood, the better, but you should choose solid wood with just the right hardness and toughness." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi followed behind Fubi and listened carefully to every word Fubi said.
At this time, Fubi picked up a half-finished magic stick, bent the magic stick into an angle, and explained: "If you don't bend when you meet the force, you don't bend after folding, this kind of wood is qualified wood." ”
As he spoke, he let go of the magic rod again, and let the magic stick return to straightness, without the slightest deformation.
Fubi continued: "The wood used for the general magic stick is the trunk of the Kamui tree, because the Kamui tree is the most common, and the branches are thin and easy to obtain, but today I plan to use the light wheel tree. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the two pieces of wood in front of him.
Xiao Xiaoqi raised his eyes and saw that there were two blue-green tree trunks in between, very thick, and it was estimated that one person could almost hold them.
I don't know how long those two trunks have been placed, but they are still emerald green, which shows the extraordinary nature of this wood.
"Come on, come and have a look!" Fobey walked to the trunk of the tree and called Xiao Xiaoqi.
Xiao Xiaoqi walked over, took a closer look, and found that there were layers of tree rings on the section of the trunk, which were very round and regular.
"The light wheel tree is a perfect tree," says Furby, "and it grows well, and it is a very suitable wood for making magic sticks, but it is more difficult to make." ”
As he spoke, Furby pointed to the very center of the trunk, which was only a small circle, "You touch it." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't think too much about it, and stretched out his finger to touch the circle in the center of the trunk......
"What does it feel?" asked Furby.
Xiao Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Soft, and very smooth......"
Furby nodded, "That's right, that's what we want today." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi was a little surprised, "Take such a little bit of such a big piece of wood?"
Fubi nodded again, "To make the magic sticks is to take the most essential parts! Generally speaking, it is very good to be able to make ten magic sticks from one tree. ”
So strict? Xiao Xiaoqi understands, no wonder only those who become magicians will have magic sticks, if this is one per person, the divine power tree of the whole empire must not be cut down?
At this time, Fubi took a planing tool for planing wood from the side and handed it to Xiao Xiaoqi, "How is it, are you confident?"
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't understand very well, "Do you want me to do it myself?"
"Of course, otherwise how would you know that a magic rod is not easy to come by. After saying that, Fubi picked up a planer and gouged it on one of the trunks of the bare-wheeled tree.
Xiao Xiaoqi also began to move, sat on the side and began to plank wood.
After a while, Xiao Xiaoqi found that the efficiency of planing wood in this way was too low, and it would take a lot of time to plane a small piece of wood in the center.
So Xiao Xiaoqi asked: "Master Fubi, can't you use an axe to cut the wood small first, and split off the surface layer that is not needed, which can save a lot of time." ”
Fubi shook his head and said with a smile: "Your thoughts are really exactly the same as the original Mister, but unfortunately, this is not possible, a lot of wood is very fragile, even if you chop the axe on the surface, the core of the tree in the center is likely to be affected and cracked, even if it is not cracked, the quality will be greatly reduced." ”
"So that's the case, that is, you can only plane little by little?"
"That's right, the most important thing in this process is patience, why, you can't hold on?" Furby quipped.
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't reply, but spoke with actions, and began to bury his head in wood again.
"By the way, Master Fubi, when you helped Lao Mi make the Sailei Stick, how thick was the Yalei wood you used?"
"It's okay, two or three people can hug it. ”
“......”
......
Time passed as the sawdust fell little by little, and he started planing early in the morning, and it was not until the afternoon that Xiao Xiaoqi planed a large piece of light wheel wood into a small one, about the thickness of two fingers, and it was still a little short of the goal.
Fubi was also at a similar pace, and he was a little surprised by Xiao Xiaoqi's speed and praised him for his patience.
Then they began to change tools, using planers to start the final refinement.
About half an hour later, there was already the last small circle of the light wheel wood in Xiao Xiaoqi's hand, which was basically the thickness of the magic stick, but it was still a little bit closer.
"Now is the most critical moment!" Fobey watched nervously from the side, "There is a film in the heart of the light wheel wood, remember not to scratch it!"
In order to help Xiao Xiaoqi, Fubi even put down the light wheel tree in his hand first.
Xiao Xiaoqi is concentrated, and he is careful every time he goes under the knife......
Until the last knife was scraped, Fubi and Xiao Xiaoqi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Fubi patted Xiao Xiaoqi on the shoulder, "Hahaha, well done!"
Xiao Xiaoqi smiled happily, as if he had a sense of accomplishment at the moment, but he looked at the heart of the light wheel tree on the table, and the heart of the tree was a little soft, not like a material that could be used as a magic stick.
Fubi saw Xiao Xiaoqi's doubts and explained: "Don't worry, there is a process ahead, which will make it stand up." ”
Then Fubi took Xiao Xiaoqi to the stove and said, "Put the heart of the tree in it." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi saw at this time that there was a mold in the furnace, and there was a dent mark on the mold, which happened to be the shape of a magic stick.
Xiao Xiaoqi placed the heart of the light wheel tree into it.
Immediately after, Fubi didn't know what the switch was pressing, and then the fire began to breathe into the furnace and began to bake the heart of the tree.
Fubi introduced: "This is a magic furnace specially used for shaping, originally the shaping was to be dried in the sun for ten days, but that is too time-consuming, with this magic furnace it is much faster, about half an hour." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi was slightly surprised, it really saved a lot of time.
"Just sit back and wait. ”
Then Xiao Xiaoqi and Fubi sat aside, waiting for the shape of the tree heart to be completed.
"Take advantage of the moment, Master Fubi might as well tell me about the next process, maybe it will be faster in a minute. Xiao Xiaoqi said.
Fubi smiled: "There is no process left, only the last step is left." ”
"It's that simple?" Xiao Xiaoqi was a little surprised.
Fubi said: "Under normal circumstances, in fact, it is necessary to do refinement, wrapping and grinding, sizing, polishing, etc., but I told you that the light wheel tree is a perfect tree, and its tree core does not need these treatments to be perfect, so it saves a lot of steps and skips directly to the last step!"
"I see. Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly realized.
Next, the two fell silent, looking at each other without saying a word, just waiting for the shape of the magic stick to be completed.
After a while, Fubi suddenly said, "Actually, there are some things I have deceived you about me and Mister. ”
Xiao Xiaoqi was puzzled, "What's the matter?"
Furby hesitated for a moment before he said, "Actually, I'm with Mister...... The relationship is not good, and it can even be said that they are enemies. ”
"Enemy? Xiao Xiaoqi was suddenly surprised.
Fubi was not joking, "It's not always been enemies, it was later that we chose two completely different paths, and since then we have gone to the opposite ......"
Fubi looked at Xiao Xiaoqi again, "You should know about Lao Mi's identity." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't speak, nodded slightly, and admitted it.
"I don't remember what he thought at the time when he chose the Paladin and I chose the Church, but I know that I paid the price of losing a close friend, and it will probably be a regret in my life......"
From Fubi's expression and eyes, Xiao Xiaoqi really felt a sadness, don't look at Fubi's life is more beautiful than Lao Mi, maybe he is the same as Lao Mi, he has been lonely, and in the end he didn't even see each other's last face.
As he spoke, Fubi seemed to remember something sad, and he didn't say any more.
It wasn't until the magic stick was shaped that Fubi regained his strength, "Come on, let's move on to the last step, which is also the most important and critical step of the whole process." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi still remembered what Fubi just said, the last step was to focus on God, and he asked, "What is God?"
Fubi smiled mysteriously, "It's to inject divine power into the magic rod!"
Fubi turned off the fire, and then took out a half-finished magic stick from the stove, only to see that it was a white jade-like rod, faintly shining with a soft white light.
Fubi admired it for a moment, and then asked Xiao Xiaoqi, "Isn't it beautiful?"
Xiao Xiaoqi also nodded, as Fubi said, the heart of this light wheel tree itself is a perfect material, and there is no need to polish it at all.
Then Phoebe walked to a small room on the side, where the last step seemed to be completed.
After walking into the small room, Xiao Xiaoqi found that the lights in the room were dim, and the shelves on the wall were full of bottles and cans, and those bottles were filled with some white mist.
Fubi didn't notice Xiao Xiaoqi's abnormality, and he placed the white jade magic stick on a black cloth at this time, and then brought a pen.
Xiao Xiaoqi instantly recognized that the pen in Fubi's hand was not a kind of talisman?
"Why...... Will there be a talisman here?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked.
But Fubi didn't understand, "What is that?"
"This is the pen. Xiao Xiaoqi pointed to the pen in Fubi's hand.
"Oh, this is the Divine Writer, also known as the Divine Hand. Furby explained.
Xiao Xiaoqi's eyes were full of doubts, he would not admit his mistake, even if this was not a talisman, it was definitely a kind of talisman, because there was the power of the talisman on it.
There weren't too many of them, but he took a small bottle from the side, and then dipped the Divine Pen in it, and the small bottle was filled with white gas.
After a while, I saw that the main pen of God absorbed some white gas, and white pen water appeared on the tip of the pen.
Fubi picked up the pen and said to Xiao Xiaoqi: "The so-called infusion of the gods is to inject these divine qi into the divine magic stick. ”
"How to inject it?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked.
At this time, Fubi carefully drew on the slender white jade magic stick, as if he was depicting it in a special way.
It is not an easy task to depict on a thin stick, this is a test of eyesight, but also a test of carefulness, the slightest carelessness will fail.
And when the white handwriting meets the white jade magic stick, it is even more difficult, and it is easy to make mistakes.
At this time, Xiao Xiaoqi also found that after those handwritings were stained with the magic stick, they disappeared, or it had penetrated into the magic stick.
At this time, Fubi said: "I want to draw a miracle map on the magic stick, only with a complete miracle map, the magic stick can play a role, and the divine qi will seep into it as soon as it is stained with the magic stick, so you can't make a mistake, otherwise you will lose all your efforts." ”
After speaking, Fubi began to carefully map the magic stick, and Xiao Xiaoqi also watched from the sidelines, wanting to see what the so-called miracle map was.
After two quarters of an hour, Xiao Xiaoqi had to sigh, this miracle map was complicated enough, seeing that Fubi was about to paint the entire magic stick, if he didn't look at it step by step, he wouldn't be able to see any fame.
However, it is not completely traceless, this miracle map is a bit like the cultivation of spiritual power is Zhou Tian cycle diagram, maybe the divine magic stick can be regarded as a cultivation Zhou Tian outside the body.
After a while, it should be almost finished, and Fubi began to relax a little, while talking to Xiao Xiaoqi: "Actually, I had a fight with Mister at that time. ”
Xiao Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted that Fubi should be following the previous topic.
"Do you know why I'm teaching you how to make a magic stick?" asked Furby suddenly.
Xiao Xiaoqi shook his head, "I don't know." ”
Furby chuckled, "This was still an agreement I made with Mister at the time. ”
"What agreement?"
"Mister had learned how to make magic sticks, but he clearly lacked that patience," Fobie seemed to remember something happy, "and he was not convinced, and made a bet with me that he would surpass me in the future, so I would love to see if you could surpass me." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Xiaoqi was a little curious, "In this regard, I can't compare to you." ”
But Fubi said: "No, I have to admit, you are very patient and talented, if you really want to do this, you will definitely surpass me in the future, this bet is Mister wins." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi laughed at it, he may not have the opportunity to contact this industry in the future.
Furby then showed a sad expression, "I've made quite a few bets with Mister, some of which I can't remember, but the last one, I always remember......"
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't interject, and listened quietly beside him.
"That day, I chose the church for the sake of so-called justice, and I fought with him, but we didn't decide the winner......"
"Isn't it up or down?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked.
Fubi only said: "I don't want to tell the winner, he made a promise with me that one day, he will become stronger, and then come to me and want to defeat me with dignity...... And I, oh, have been waiting for him to beat me! But I can't wait any longer......"
When he said this, Fubi's tone was extremely lonely, Xiao Xiaoqi seemed to see two young people who were once invincible, because their respective ideals were separated from each other until many years passed, but they were nostalgic for the old days.
At this moment, perhaps because Furby's mood swings were too great, the last stroke actually shook a little.
"Oops!" Furby realized that all his previous efforts were wasted!
Furby froze, and the regret in his eyes deepened.
Xiao Xiaoqi naturally felt regretful, but he didn't blame Fubi, but patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, Master Fubi, I've already learned anyway." ”
Fubi smiled bitterly, "I originally wanted to give it to you as a gift, but it seems that the god is not willing to fulfill me." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, "You can send it to me now, I think it's very meaningful." ”
Fubi glanced at Xiao Xiaoqi strangely, "This is a failed product, and it can't be used to cast magic ......"
"It's okay, just take it as a souvenir. Xiao Xiaoqi said and picked up the white jade magic stick.
Fubi smiled, since Xiao Xiaoqi didn't mind, then give it to him.
"Let's call it Ink Light from now on. Xiao Xiaoqi looked at the magic stick in his hand and said.
"Ink?" Furby was a little puzzled, "Shouldn't it be white?"
Xiao Xiaoqi explained: "Who doesn't have a little darkness in their life? I just hope that the darkness can continue to shine. ”
Fubi nodded, "Pretty good." ”
At this time, Xiao Xiaoqi shifted his attention to the white qi in the bottle, "By the way, Master Fubi, I just wanted to ask, what are these divine qi, and where did they come from?"
Fubi didn't know, "I really don't know where it came from, it is said to be the embodiment of the power of the divine master, and it is sent by someone every time." ”
"Can you show me?" Xiao Xiaoqi was really curious.
Fubi hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, and handed the bottle to Xiao Xiaoqi, "I hope you don't fall, otherwise there may be so many magicians who don't have magic rods." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi took it carefully, then opened the lid and looked at it.
Soon, Xiao Xiaoqi discovered that he really knew this thing, it was the origin spiritual power!
That's rare, even Xiao Xiaoqi only has a few wisps of origin spiritual power in his body, but there are so many bottles here!
What made Xiao Xiaoqi depressed was that this source spiritual power was logically not available in the magician, where did it come from?
"Master Fubi, who sent these divine qi every time?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked casually.
Master Fubi didn't think too much about it, "You may not know it either, it was sent by Sakula from the guild." ”
"Sakula!" Xiao Xiaoqi was suddenly surprised, isn't that the old way of a sheep's beard?
"You know?"
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't respond, but fell into deep thought, he suddenly had a bold idea, there must be some reason for the old way of the sheepbeard to come here, and the old way is faintly related to the god organization......
Gods?Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly remembered something, these origin spiritual powers, shouldn't they have been deprived from the warlock?
