Nightfall Chapter 193: Yuan Thirteen Arrows
Volume One The Empire of Early Morning Chapter 193 Yuan Thirteen Arrows
Ning Que in the corner was awakened by the thundering hammer, and then stunned again by the sharp sound of the hammer. He vaguely heard the vague sound of thunder and rain in the drowsy world of dreams, and laughed softly.
I don’t know how long he woke up after rubbing his eyes and found that he was still leaning against the wall of the iron room, the fire not far away was suppressed by the mud, and the room was no longer hot and empty. nothing.
He rubbed his sore shoulders, he stood up on the wall and walked to the window. He found a box made of paulownia on the table. He was taken aback. He remembered that there was no such thing on the table yesterday.
The paulownia box is rectangular, about the length of an arm, and when you open the surface of the box, you can see six or seven metal objects with strange shapes lying quietly on the bottom of the box. The surface of these metal objects is dark, and you can only find out if you look carefully. There are countless slits on the seemingly unified surface, which is actually made of countless extremely fine metal wires. Just looking at it with the naked eye, it seems that you can feel the strong resilience in it.
Ning Que’s fingers slowly stroked the surface of the dark object in the box, feeling the rough touch from the fingertips and the inexplicable toughness, and the eyebrows couldn’t help but raise slightly.
The shapes of these dark metal objects are very peculiar. I don’t know what specific purpose they have, especially the three-finger-sized piece of metal placed on the top of the box. Even if it is used to hit people, it will be too heavy. Not heavy enough, not to mention that there is a tiny silver catch tray embedded on the metal sheet. The tray is inlaid with a bright diamond that only shows the top tip. It doesn’t look like a weapon at all, but more like…
“Isn’t this a wedding ring?”
Ning Que muttered to himself, but his bright eyes were full of joy. He had already seen what the dark metal parts in the box were for, relying on his absolute familiarity with bows and arrows and his dexterity. With no one pointing his hand, he began to assemble.
The sound of clicking the slight metal wedge clasping sounded continuously. After a very short time, a dark metal bow appeared in his hand, and his left hand was tightly held by countless fine metal wires. The twisted bow body, with his right hand pulled out the special twisted eight-stranded wire in the box, and began to wind it.
After winding the dark longbow, it was gently placed on the table, and then his eyes fell on the dark quiver beside the box, took a deep breath, and slowly drew an arrow from the quiver.
This is a long arrow made of alloy. The shaft is designed to be extremely slender. Although it uses a hollow tube process, it still weighs heavily in the hand.
Ning Que forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, holding the metal long arrow in both hands, and slowly moved the mouth of the left hand from the end of the arrow to the arrow cluster, carefully feeling the subtle touch on the surface of the arrow shaft.
He touched it very carefully, he felt the unbreakable toughness of the arrow shaft itself; he also looked carefully, and through the morning light outside the window he saw the scale-like fine lines on the arrow shaft , I don’t know how many hammers were dropped when forging arrows, how many tens of thousands of layers were smashed together, layer upon layer, layer upon layer, were mutually dependent.
In the middle of the fine lines of the arrow shaft material, there are several more precise and deeper lines, combined in a very calm way, but there is a blank at the bottom, always giving people a kind of I feel that there is one missing line here. If the blank space can be made up, these lines will instantly become agile.
Ning Que walked out of the forging room with the heavy bow and arrow in his hand, and took a deep breath, facing the beautiful morning light projected from the east of the cliff, and his spirit became more refreshed.
There was a faint snoring sound in the grass between the front of the house and Jinghu Lake. He looked around and found that the seniors were lying soundly asleep by the lake under the tree, and there were several hip flasks scattered around. Chen Pipi slept the most. Dead, the corners of her mouth drool from time to time. Senior Sister Seven leaned on the old tree and closed her eyes. There was a hip flask in her little finger that swayed up and down from time to time, as if she were fishing. Brother, the ancient crown that stood upright like a mallet on top of his head was already crooked and out of shape.
Ning Que silently looked at the sleeping seniors and sisters outside the room, 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 brother opened his eyes and woke up, stood up and straightened the ancient crown on his head, and motioned him to walk with him to the lakeside, not to disturb those guys’ sleep after being tired and drunk.
Standing on the lakeshore and facing the lake breeze, the morning light and the morning dew were taking away the heat and glowing. After a moment of silence, the second brother said solemnly: “Go to the wasteland, don’t fall into the reputation of the academy. You have lost your reputation for thousands of years, but you are also a celebrity in Datang, so you must not lose your identity.”
Ning Que said with a smile: “Where is a celebrity, it is a personal name.”
The second brother glanced at him, admiringly said: “You are indifferent to fame and fortune, and you can see nothingness in the prestige. Junior brother, you said this well. If you let the brother hear it, you will definitely be cited as a confidant.”
The brother he was talking about is naturally the brother of the college.
Ning Que was slightly startled, and couldn’t help feeling a little ashamed.
“Second brother, you worked so hard last night. I thought I might need to consult Professor Huang He.”
“I don’t know much about Fu Dao, but your master Yan Se is already the top figure in the world. If he can’t help you develop Fu Jian, it doesn’t make any sense for you to find Professor Huang.”
“Speaking of which, I still don’t know where the professors in the college live.”
“Professors are all visiting professors, there are many foreigners, and most of the time they live in seclusion everywhere in the mountains.”
“Why have I never met in the mountains?”
At this time, the second brother said a very useless nonsense: “Because the mountain is a very big mountain.”
Then he looked back at Ning Que’s dark bow and arrow, and asked, “Would you like to try it?”
Ning fault nodded.
Senior brothers and sisters who were sleeping in the grass under the tree all woke up, and the brothers who were holding loose, flutes and flowers in other parts of the mountain also came out. Even the third sister Yu Lian, who seldom appears in front of everyone, also I don’t know when I came to the lake. Eleven people gathered around Ning Que or waited nervously and silently, or they talked in excitement, or scratched their hair to indicate that this matter was really meaningless. The reason why I would come to see Junior Brother to try arrows She was stunned by the noise last night.
Ning Que lightly put the dark and slender talisman arrow on the iron bow, took a deep breath and lifted it high, aiming at the high sky, as if to shoot down the sun that was still under the cliff at this time.
With the light squeak, the seemingly unshakable iron bow deformed slightly, and the tight bowstring was pulled back, sinking deeply into the nameless three fingers of his right hand because of the significance of this test. Importantly, for the sake of safety, he chose a three-pronged string that he didn’t use very often.
With this action, the discussion on the lakeside stopped abruptly and suddenly became extremely quiet. The brothers and sisters on the second floor of the academy looked nervously or curiously at his fingers that clung to the bowstring.
In the clear lake like a mirror, the early fish swimming slowly for food.
The proud white goose across the lake is washing his chest and abdomen with water.
Ning Que’s forearm muscles inside his sleeves were loosened, and the tight bowstring bounced back at a high speed while rubbing his fingertips, driving the black slender metal arrow to shoot forward at an invisible speed!
The sharp arrow cluster suddenly protruded from the bow’s handshake. When it traveled a certain distance, the diamond inlaid on the bow had a slight friction with the metal arrow shaft, and it was very sharp. A diamond front with a complicated cross-section, like a tip of ink dipped on paper, draws a line on the arrow shaft very randomly.
It is 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 of the high speed or because the rune on the arrow was activated. When the tail of the arrow left the bow, it brought out a milky white turbulence. .
Then… this talisman arrow disappeared instantly!
No one by the lake can see the trajectory of the arrow clearly, can see where it flies into the air, only the second senior who looked up at the sky slightly narrowed his eyes.
Until now, there was an involuntary wind, and Ning Que, who was still holding his bow, cheered up. Everyone at the lake felt a little chill, and Ning Que clenched Gong Bi’s left hand, even more suddenly. A lot of dew came out.
The fish in the lake are still swimming slowly.
The big white goose on the other side finished washing, and began to prepare for Xiang Tiange.
After a while, still staring at the sky, the brothers and sisters who wanted to find the trajectory of the talisman arrow saw a hollow in the middle of the white cloud at a very high altitude, through the hole you can see higher The blue sky!
The fourth brother said with a trembling voice: “Did it come out?”
Sixth Senior Brother guessed in a low voice, “It should be shot.”
Senior Sister Seven said in surprise: “Is it really shot by this arrow?”
The second brother said calmly: “It was shot.”
The expressions of the people on the lake changed suddenly, looking at the hole in the cloud high in the sky, and exclaimed with joy. Senior Sister Yu Lian’s brows also slowly raised, and a smile appeared on her face. It seemed that she hadn’t even imagined that this talisman could fly so high and possess such a powerful force.
At this time, Chen Pipi asked a very important question. He rubbed his chubby face, looked up at the blue blank cloud with difficulty, and asked in a daze: “Where did that arrow go?”
This question is indeed critical, but at this moment, everyone in the academy who has witnessed the birth of the first real talisman arrow in history is too lazy to pay attention to this key question. Senior Brother Nine exclaimed, “How can it be unhappy for such a good thing?”
The ten seniors nodded repeatedly, stroked the strings of the guqin with their fingers, and said: “The arrow cannot be without strings.”
The sixth brother lifted the heavy hammer from under his feet and said honestly, “The second brother used my hammer to strike iron.”
Senior Sister Seven held the embroidery needle between her fingers, smiled and said, “I also helped a little.”
Senior Brother Nine put the flute tube to his lips and blew out cheerful music. When everyone was preparing to respond with sound like the night at the top of a cliff, suddenly they heard a very stern scream from the sky above his head. In an instant, he suppressed the sound of flute by the lake, as if a fairy in Yuntou was playing flute.
Although the people on the second floor of the college are all fools, they are definitely the smartest people in the world. After listening to this sharp whistling, they instantly guessed the reason, their expressions suddenly turned pale, and I could imagine At the fastest speed he reached, he ran away from Ning Que in an instant, dispersing birds and beasts, each looking for a safe shelter.
Ning Que didn’t know what was going to happen soon. He couldn’t help suppressing his excitement. He looked at the sky above his head dumbly, his eyes reluctant to blink.
Second Brother and Chen Pipi stood on both sides of him, looking up at the sky, with different expressions.
The sharp whistling instantly spread from a distant high above the lake. The small black spot had just entered Ning Que’s eyes, and the next moment it turned into a metal long arrow that tore the air at a high speed, piercing his head!
The second brother flicked his sleeves lightly, and his sleeves flew like a flag, curling up the shadow that was about to fall to the ground, pulling and releasing it to the ground, putting the one with terrifying speed and power The metal talisman turned its direction.
With a soft hiss, his sleeves split open.
With a loud bang, the square pavilion in the center of Jinghu Lake was completely destroyed by a bang.
Ning Que’s face was pale, only then did he react, looking at the dusty lake and muttering, “Fuck me…”
Senior Sister Seven ran over with the lid of the pot, looking at the half-collapsed pavilion, her face was pale, and she muttered, “Fuck me…”
Second Brother gave her a frown.
……
……
The crowd gathered to the lake again, pointing to the collapsed pavilions and talking excitedly.
Senior Brother Si looked at the lake where the smoke was fading away, and with a gratifying smile that was fulfilled, he walked along the wooden bridge. When he came back, he held the talisman arrow in his hand and also took a small box.
“Diamond drew the last stroke of the rune. 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 and Lao Liu made a set of repairs Tool, but I haven’t tried it yet. If you need to repair it in the wasteland, you can try to see if it can be done.”
He handed the small box to Ning Que, with a serious expression reminding: “Talisman arrows are rare and difficult to make. There are only 13 talisman arrows in the quiver. You have to save some on the battlefield.”
Ning Que said earnestly: “Don’t worry, brother, I will never finish shooting in one shot.”
“You simply don’t have the ability to shoot at once.” The second senior brother washed his hands by the lake, stood up and looked at him and said: “At your current state, you can only shoot three arrows at most, and your body will not be able to bear it. “
Ning Que looked at the heavy talisman arrow in his hand, frowned and said, “Then what can I do?”
Senior Brother Si looked at the talisman arrow and suddenly said with emotion: “This is an innovative talisman design that created history. It’s a pity that it can’t be spread to the world. It’s a pity.”
“Why can’t it be promoted?”
“Because the talisman written by the junior apprentice can only be matched with his mind. If you want to use the talisman, if the archer himself is a master talisman, few talismans in the world can write this talisman. The talisman who wrote this talisman is even less likely to be an archer with sufficient strength. This iron bow is not so easy to pull.”
When I heard the words of Senior Brother Si, Ning Que felt a soreness in his right shoulder, and even a faint tear-like sharp pain. It may be that the muscles there were injured by the previous string control action.
The fourth brother said: “Little brother, this is the talisman you developed. Give it a name.”
Ning Que looked at the smile on Senior Brother Si’s face, suddenly his heart moved, and said sincerely: “Brother Si, please give your name.”
The fourth brother was startled slightly, smiled with emotion, and said: “Well…Since the bow and arrow materials are mixed with the little brother, you feel the most sensitive mixed silver, then call it a silver arrow?” /
Ning Que’s expression became a little strange when he heard the word silver arrow.
The second brother said blankly, “Change another one.”
Chen Pipi pointed a finger at him, and asked, “Punching arrows?”
An arrow piercing the cloud, thousands of troops came to meet each other, Ning Que shook his head repeatedly.
The second brother was silent for a while and said: “Fujian travels with the help of the vitality of heaven and earth. There are only 13 branches in the world, and the younger brother ranks thirteen, so…it is called Yuan Shisanjian.”
