The round stones at the bottom of the shallow stream trembled slightly, as if they were about to leave but never moved. They only struggled in vain to them, and then rose through the fine aquatic plants, with bubbles attached to the bottom of the grass leaves. .
"This proves that this talisman is effective, but the effect is too weak, so it must be achieved by the buoyancy of the stream." The fourth senior brother looked at the string of pearl-like bubbles in the stream and asked calmly: "Young brother, you I appreciate the concept of being willing to use what you learn about the Tao in actual things, rather than talking about the silence and imaginary behavior, but I don't understand why you require that the wind talisman must be so small. Where are you going to use it? "
Ning Que was silent for a moment and said, "I am going to carve this talisman on the arrow branch , so it must be small."
The fourth senior brother turned around and looked at him quietly and said, "Good idea."
Ning Que laughed, and before his smile could be fully displayed, he listened to the next sentence of the fourth senior brother.
"...It's a pity that it's still a delusion."
He asked in surprise, "Why?"
The fourth senior brother said, "Armor engraving talismans increase defense, sword engraving talismans increase killing. Has no one ever thought about engraving talismans on arrows? Since ancient times, countless people have had this idea, but they all failed."
Ning Que frowned and asked, "Why did it fail?"
"There are millions of reasons, and there is actually only one real explanation, because all attempts to engrave talismans on arrows have not succeeded in one attempt, so at least until today, this is a good idea that is doomed to fail."
"Failure is a successful mom."
"The younger brother's words make sense, but don't forget that many children born by mothers also fail."
"It doesn't matter if you try it again, right?"
"Then you have to redesign the talisman line. Now your talisman can only be carved by the beams and pillars of the Daming Palace. Even if you have the ability to turn the beams and pillars of the Daming Palace into an arrow, where can you find such a thick bowstring? "
"Fourth Senior Brother..."
"Um?"
"I just realized today that you are very mean."
"A talisman master like me who plays technical skills is to carve words in extremely thin places."
"Good answer."
...
...
Carving talismans on feather arrows to increase power and range is not what Ning Que only has now. In fact, as early as last year's journey to the grassland, he had this idea when he heard Mr. Lu Qingchen telling the secrets of practicing .
He has been practicing in Minshan and the frontier for many years, which has given him an excellent archery technique. Whenever he thinks about how to fight against the powerful practitioners, he will naturally think of the bow and arrow. If the talisman can act on feather arrows, then in the battle with the strong practitioners, safe distance and sudden attacks can be ensured.
During his trip last year, when Mr. Lu Qingchen heard his idea, he said on the spot that it was not possible - the feather arrow was too light to engrave talismans on it, and the attached energy dissipated too quickly, unless these two difficult problems can be solved. It is impossible to become a weapon chosen by practitioners.
Ning Que had never contacted Fu Dao at that time, so he didn't think much about it. However, as the successor of the divine Fu Master Yan Se, looking at so many foolish people in the back mountain of the academy, he always felt that he was on the thin pole of the feather arrow. It is not completely impossible to carve the talisman on it. If it can be successful, wouldn't it solve all problems?
Although he was hit hard by the fourth senior brother on the bank of the stream, Ning Que did not lose all his confidence. After returning to Chang'an City, he broke into the south gate of Haotian Dao to find his master, pestered him for three days and two nights, and got some He gave advice, then returned to Lao Bizhai, thought with the pen and ink ruler for a long time, and finally reduced the wind talisman that was about to be engraved on the front to the smallest.
...
...
Late at night, the lights shook slightly.
Sangsang, wrapped in white cloth, slowly floated up from the bed.
There were some slender strips of paper on the white cloth.
Some strange lines can be seen vaguely on the paper.
A low whimper came from the closed window.
Ning Que, with a pale face, stood beside the bed, looking at her quietly.
The picture looks extremely weird and terrifying.
Because he drew more than forty wind talismans in a row, Ning Que 's mind power in his consciousness was almost squeezed out, his face was extremely pale, but looking at the little maid who slowly floated up and the paper talismans stuck to her body, his eyes It was full of joy.
As Sangsang's thin body floated in the air, he moved his hands up and down and said with emotion: "What is a flying man in the air? This is a flying man in the air. I want to use magic, where do I know who Liu Qian is?"
Sangsang, who was floating in the air, frowned and said, "Young Master, I don't know who Liu Qian is."
...
...
On the second day, when he arrived at the back mountain of the academy, Ning Que took out the slender talisman paper and handed it to Senior Brother Six solemnly, saying, "Senior Brother, whether this matter is successful depends on your craft."
Senior Brother Six took the talisman paper and looked at it for a while, then picked up a feather arrow from the corner of the house that Ning Que had thrown here a few days ago, put the talisman paper into a cylinder, and attached it to the thin arrow shaft tightly. Just closed.
"Although the size is right, I still feel like I fail for a while."
Senior Brother Six took out the fine carved knife, sat in the bright window, and began to tidy up the lines of the talisman paper covered on the arrow shaft . His fingers were very stable and did not tremble at all. The knife seemed dull and slow , but in fact it was accurate. Extremely, you will never expect a graceful and elegant manner but only seek actual results. The sharp edge of the hair perfectly copies the lines on the talisman paper.
After the talisman was engraved, Ning Que picked up the feather arrow and looked at the skylight outside the window. Looking at the delicate and beautiful lines on the thin arrow shaft, he couldn't help but feel shocked and sincerely praised: "Sixth Brother, you have such good skills. "
Senior Brother Six put the fine carved knife into the leather box, smiled honestly and said, "I am a craftsman."
The two walked out of the room and came to the shore of Jinghu Lake.
Ning Que took a deep breath, calmed his mind, placed the feather arrow on the boxwood bow, and his five fingers on his left hand were slightly loose and tight . His mind power was released from the sea of consciousness , and he spread to the talisman lines on the arrow branch. For ordinary talisman masters, his mind power is the key, and the talisman he wrote is the lock. Only his own mind power can stimulate the power of the runes.
With a buzzing sound, the tight boxwood hardwood bow string bounced back.
Almost at the same time, the mindfulness stimulated the runes on the arrow shaft.
A gust of breeze emerged between the hard bows and then scattered rapidly, but the arrow ... didn't know where it flew.
There are no traces of feather arrows flying by on the calm lake surface.
There are no signs of feather arrows flying across the mountain forest opposite the lake.
Under the blue sky, there was no trace of the arrow flying by.
Anyone who walks and climbs and flies will have traces. So where did this arrow with the wind talisman be engraved disappear in an instant?
Ning Que put down his hardwood bow in a daze and turned around to look at Senior Six with inquiring eyes.
Senior Brother Six spread his hands, his honest face full of confusion.
At this moment, Senior Sister Seven walked out of the square pavilion in the center of Jinghu. She was furious and full of extremely fine wood chips on her head, as if she had just crawled out of a warehouse in some logging yard.
Ning Que couldn't help laughing when he saw Senior Sister Qi's embarrassing appearance, thinking that Senior Sister really looks like a silly girl .
The sixth senior brother has been casting soldiers and carving talismans all year round, but his temperament is honest but his eyes are sharp. He has already seen the right hand holding the seventh junior sister constantly tremble because of anger. He holds a cold arrow made of metal in his palm, and his body suddenly becomes slightly stiff. My heart was a little cold, and I turned around without saying a word and walked into my iron room and closed the door tightly.
Ning Que didn't know what happened yet. He looked back at the closed iron room, then turned around and shouted at Senior Sister Seven in the pavilion: "Senior Sister, have you seen an arrow?"
Senior Sister Seven forced her anger and forced her smile and said, "What arrow?"
"It's just a fancy arrow with arrow shafts."
Senior Sister Qi smiled, stretched out the cluster of arrows that she held tightly with her right hand, and asked, "Is this the case?"
Ning Que said in surprise: "It's this... Oh , why are there only an arrow cluster left? Where did the pole go?"
Senior Sister Qi gently brushed her hair by her cheeks , dusted off the wood chips mixed between her hair, and smiled charmingly, "Here."
Ning Que finally woke up, turned around without hesitation and ran towards the iron room , shouting loudly: "Sixth Brother! Help! Open the door quickly!"
Before he could run to the iron room, Ning Que stopped running with a muffled groan.
He turned his head and looked behind him with a pale face and almost cried.
There were more than a dozen embroidery needles on his butt, and the needles were inserted into the flesh.
In the pavilion, Senior Sister Seven gently picked up the embroidery frame and sneered, "Sword and needle, it's the arrow's turn now! If you don't teach you some lessons, I really don't know if you will use the firearm to mess around in the future!"
...
...
After the small episode, the innovative work of developing talisman arrows will continue, and because of the troubles by the lake, there are two more onlookers watching the fun. Chen Pipi just finished delivering meals to Panasonic Chess Mai, and there is nothing to do for the time being. Senior Sister Qi had to beware of another rain of wood chips on her head in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, so it was really difficult to embroider the flowers, so she simply came under the embroidery frame to see it.
"Even if the arrow shaft can engrave talismans, the power of the wind talisman plus the string power is not the force that the arrow shaft itself can bear."
Senior Sister Qi held a pot lid and patted the remaining wood chips on her shoulder. Looking at Ning Que and Senior Brother Liu who were concentrating on the test, he said, "If you don't solve this problem, it will be useless to try it."
"Have anyone tried this before? Yes. Did they succeed? No. Are those wise gods and talisman masters more genius than you Ning Que? Yes. Have they succeeded? No. So I don't know why you still insist on this idea. ."
Chen Pipi carried the meal with a fine iron pot and shook her head and said, "You are just wasting your time and life."
These two onlookers seemed to be talking nonsense, but in fact they never gave up any opportunity to crack down on Ning Que's self-confidence. Ning Que didn't care, so he pulled the bow and arrow and said, "I'm ready."
"The fourth experiment of new talisman arrows that was unprecedented, starts with countdown, three, two, one , launch!"
Chen Pipi shouted loudly. When he shouted the word "launched", he immediately lifted the steel pot in his hand to cover his face, but because his face was too fat and round. Although the steel pot was already huge, it was still exposed. A circle of flesh was outside , and the appearance looked extremely funny.
Senior Sister Seven was faster than him. When he shouted out the three words, he had already raised the lid of the pot with both hands and tried his best to protect his flowery face.
Even Ning Que immediately rushed behind Senior Brother Six after shooting out this talisman arrow , and used his senior brother's strong body to block any possible accidents.
The first three test shots of the talisman arrows caused extremely tragic consequences. The fish with white belly on the lake and the blood-blooded black bird in the forest were direct evidence of this tragic.
Senior Brother Six did not cover his face and was seriously looking for the trace of the talisman arrow in the sky . As a weapon research and development and manufacturing personnel, he never lacked this kind of adventurous spirit. After watching for a while, he shook his head and said, "Okay."
Senior Sister Seven carefully poked out half of her face from behind the lid of the pot and asked, "Senior Brother, where is the arrow?"
Senior Brother Six pointed to the dense forest far away from the other side of the lake and said, "It seems like I've gone there."
Chen Pipi put down the steel pot and laughed and said, "That's where the two senior brothers play the piano and the flute."
Senior Sister Qi waved her hand and said, "It's okay. Once these two junior brothers start playing the flute , they won't remember anything. Not to mention being covered with wood chips, even if their butts are pierced by arrows, they will not react."
Hearing this, Ning Que's body trembled slightly and said to Senior Brother Six, "It seems that the arrow shaft material is indeed not good."
Senior Brother Six took out the last talisman arrow from the quiver and asked, "Do you still want to try?"
Chen Pipi shook his head and said, "It's meaningless. If Ning Que can successfully develop the talisman arrow, then he can start a sect and establish a sect. There is no need to learn the true meaning of the talisman Tao."
"I heard you are scolding me." Ning Que shrugged and said, "But I still want to give it a try."
Seeing Chen Pipi and Senior Sister Qi nervously lifting the pot and lid again, he smiled and shook his head and said, "I'll try it on the spot this time without covering my face."
Removed the cluster of arrows from the talisman arrow, Ning Que released the mind power in the sea of consciousness, which directly stimulated the runes on the arrow shaft.
The beautiful and delicate talisman lines on the arrow shaft suddenly lit up, and the vital energy of the surrounding heaven and earth quickly gathered together. A breeze arose inadvertently, and it kept wrapping around the slender arrow shaft.
Ning Que stared at the arrow shaft and used his mind to carefully sense the direction and rules of the flow of wind and breath.
Suddenly, everyone could see that the talisman line on the slender shaft had somehow sunk deep into the shaft. The wood that formed the shaft was instantly tightened, and then torn and cracked into extremely thin lines. Wood fiber!
With a puff, smoke and dust were ripped by the lake, and wood chips were flying all over the sky.
It caused a cough.
...
...
Ning Que dusted off the wood chips on his body and said, "Ordinary materials, there is no way to make talisman arrows, so it must be replaced."
"What to change?"
"Use steel."
Chen Pipi shook her head and said, "The material of fine steel can naturally avoid the force of wind and breath tearing, but the question is, how to shoot the arrow cast from fine steel...? Where can there be such a string bow in the world?"
"The bow can be solved with an iron-tied bow, string.... The problem is that the steel arrow is so heavy, even with my ability, I can't shoot it out."
Senior Sister Qi asked, "Will the stainless steel arrows after engraving the talisman be lighter?"
Ning Que shook his head and said, "My fourth senior brother and I tried it a few days ago, even if it is light, it is limited."
Senior Brother Six suddenly spoke, "I can use steel to make hollow tubes."
Chen Pipi said, "To strengthen your perception of the arrow runes, I suggest you add some silver to it."
Senior Brother Six nodded and said, "This is not difficult."
Ning Que's eyes gradually lit up.
