Chapter 55: Repeater
Li Jing threw the three apprentices on the bank of Qishui, returned home alone, and first found his maid Xianglan. He wrote a prescription by himself, and asked Xianglan to arrange someone to grab, decoction, and deliver medicine to Wu Wenhua. Because she has always had a good relationship with the Fang brothers, Xianglan has long known Wu Wenhua, and when she heard that he had an accident, she was quite worried in her heart, so she hurriedly went out to arrange it after taking the prescription.
After doing this, Li Jing went to see his parents again and explained that he was going to retreat in his residence, and the time should be about a month. Although Li Bingzhi and his wife were not very satisfied with their son's practice of locking himself up as soon as he returned home, they knew that he had his own ideas since he was a child, so they did not interfere.
Taking advantage of Niuniu's appearance last night, Li Jing had already discussed with her that he wanted to borrow the "Void Menggang Qi" in the "Taixu Mirror" to complete the cultivation of the only unsatisfactory pulse in the eight veins. Once the Eight Phases True Yuan has reached the realm of Huahe, you can try to introduce it into the dantian and merge it into the sea of true elements, reaching the realm of perfection in the foundation building period.
Li Jing walked in a simple phantom array in the courtyard where he lived, in case someone who didn't know the inside story broke in, and then took out the "Taixu Mirror" that he had collected closely, and whispered "Good Niuniu" three times to the mirror - this was agreed between him and Niuniu, if he wanted to summon her in the future, he would have to call her name three times in front of the mirror, and he must add a word like "good" and "good" in front of her.
The blue light flashed, Niuniu appeared in front of Li Jing, and Li Jing asked, "Is Niuniu ready?"
Niuniu rarely put away the playful color on her face, and replied seriously: "Daddy, don't worry, the 'Void Void Mengzhiqi' contained in the Taixu Mirror is almost infinite, and it is definitely enough for Daddy to use." ”
"So much for the best. Li Jing nodded, handed the "Taixu Mirror" in his hand to Niu Niu, and sat cross-legged on a futon placed on the ground.
Niu Niu threw the "Taixu Mirror" into the air, and the mirror was suspended five feet above Li Jing's oblique, and the mirror was tilted downward and facing Li Jing's front door. She suddenly raised her hand and pointed at the "Taixu Mirror" in the air, the mirror was magnificent, and a thick and almost liquid "Void Menggang Qi" poured out of the mirror and flowed down obliquely, caging Li Jing's whole person in it.
Since there is a ready-made "Void Menggang Qi", Li Jing omitted the step of using the "Little Bagua Returning Yuan Array" to transform, and directly operated the "Eight Phases Xuantong Wonderful Method", and greedily devoured the incomparably pure "Void Menggang Qi" around his body like a black hole with five senses and seven orifices.
The "Void Menggang Qi" contained in this "Taixu Mirror" is really massive, Li Jing absorbed it for two whole hours, and the "Cang Void Menggang Qi" stored in his body has gradually become saturated, but it is not even a drop in the bucket for the "Taixu Mirror".
Li Jing's gesture to Niuniu was enough, Niuniu pointed to the "Void Mirror" again, the blue light was exhausted, and she herself turned into a streamer and threw herself into the mirror.
The "Taixu Mirror" floated down from the sky and landed in Li Jing's arms safely.
Li Jing didn't get up, and ran his mind with all his might, smelting and condensing the absorbed "Void Menggang Qi" with his own true qi, refining it into the only Heavenly Phase True Yuan among the Eight Phases True Yuan that had not yet been consummated.
On the tenth day, the sound of running water suddenly came from Li Jing's courtyard. The sound of the water changed from small to loud, at first like a gurgling stream, then like a surging river, then straight like a mighty river rushing and roaring, and finally like a magnificent vast sea. Although the Li Mansion was greatly surprised, but after receiving the orders of his master not to make a fuss in advance, he could only press down his stomach and honestly do his part, at most he cast a curious glance when passing by his young master's courtyard.
The sound of the water continued for another ten days before it gradually subsided and fell silent.
After another ten days, Li Jing opened the door of his courtyard and walked out, first went to his parents to say hello, and then carried a rectangular package to the Yin Mansion next door.
When he saw Yin Zhongda, he saw Li Jing holding a package in his hand, and said with a smile: "What is Jing'er taking? Don't you can't wait to marry my Yu'er, and bring the dowry to propose marriage?"
"Uncle is merciful, I really have a serious business to discuss with my uncle. Li Jing raised his hand to say goodbye, walked to the edge of the table on the side of the hall, put the package on the case and untied it, turned back to Yin Zhongda and said, "Uncle, how about you come and take a look at this thing?"
Yin Zhongda stepped forward to watch, and saw that there was a rather strange-shaped artifact on the case. The object as a whole is a rectangular wooden box, about eight inches wide, six inches thick, and about one foot six inches long. The wooden box has a bronze handle at one end with two crescent-shaped bronze brackets on the inside, a round hole of ten fingers at the other end near the upper edge, and a crank handle on the side near the handle, also cast in bronze.
"This is ......" Yin Zhongda looked at it for a long time and still didn't understand the point, and cast an inquiring glance at Li Jing.
Li Jing didn't sell it either, stretched out his right hand to hold the handle behind the wooden box, and held the bottom of the wooden box with his left hand to level it, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from my uncle, this is a weapon I have recently developed, called 'Repeater'." ”
"Crossbow?" Yin Zhongda is in the arms business, and the "crossbow" is too familiar to be cooked, but when he looks left and right, he doesn't feel any similarities between this wooden box and a crossbow.
"Uncle, please look!" Li Jing said and pointed a section of the wooden box with a round hole to the wall, and used the index finger of his right hand to pull one of the two crescent-shaped brackets, and there was a loud sound of "peng" in the wooden box, and a short arrow with a length of more than a foot shot out of a round hole at the front end, with a strong wind and a roar that broke through the air, and on the nailed wall with "poof", more than half of the length of the arrow body was submerged into the wall, which showed the strength of the force.
Under Yin Zhongda's increasingly widening eyes, Li Jing snapped his motive again and again, and with the sound of a string of "puffs" in the wooden box, one after another Tieling short arrows shot out of the row of round holes, neatly nailed to the wall in a straight line.
"The crossbow of the company is for the crossbow. Yin Zhongda finally came back to his senses and praised again and again, "How is this thing structured, it is so wonderful?"
"Uncle, don't be in a hurry to praise it, the power of this thing doesn't stop there. Li Jing said with a smile on the side, and as he spoke, he grabbed the crank on the side of the wooden box with his right hand and twisted it vigorously, and there was a prickly sound in the wooden box. After rotating the crank for more than ten turns, Li Jing once again flattened the wooden box, and the index finger of his right hand pulled another crescent-shaped bracket.
This time, there was a loud sound several times that of the previous "Peng" from the wooden box, and ten short arrows of iron feathers shot out of the ten round holes at the front at the same time, nailed to the wall in no particular order.
Li Jing didn't stop, he rotated the crank again, buckled the gear, and it was ten arrows again.
Four times in a row, a total of fifty Tieling short arrows, neatly lined up in a phalanx on the wall of the Yin Mansion Hall.
Li Jing turned back to Yin Zhongda, who was already stunned, and said, "My repeater can install fifty special Tieling short arrows at a time, and when shooting, you can shoot them one by one, or ten arrows together. After each ten arrows, the handle is shaken to reset the spring, and the short arrow below is filled with the slot. These short arrows shot with the power of the reed have no problem penetrating the heavy armor within eighty steps, and the power will be greatly reduced after eighty steps, which can be said to be its greatest weakness. However, I was able to design a large repeater, which was so cumbersome that it had to be hauled in a wagon, but could even eighteen spear-sized arrows with a range of up to a thousand paces. Uncle, you have been in the arms business for many years, can you estimate the value of these two weapons?"

The repeater in this chapter is similar to something out of martial arts novels, so don't use historical archetypes.
