Origin

Wu Zhongyuan opened the bag, took out the trunk and the bundle of branches, and looked at them one by one. After getting the iron tree, he briefly trimmed it. After more than two months of storage in the shade, the trunk and branches had become dry and dehydrated, and the hardness was reduced. It has improved, and the color is deeper and more restrained. Because the iron tree is originally very hard and does not contain much water, the trunk and branches did not bend and deform after drying and dehydration, so all the wool that had been trimmed before could be used. After inspecting each one, he left one branch and wrapped the rest and put them back in the furnace. He also brought all kinds of polishing tools and started working on them, rubbing and polishing them. The previous bark was not peeled off very cleanly and had to be rubbed off. The branches are not completely straight and must be straightened. Because the iron tree is tough, polishing it is time-consuming and troublesome, but Wu Zhongyuan enjoyed it. He polished it for a while, touched it, and took a look. He had previously calculated that the branches could polish fifteen arrows, and the trunk was used to make a bow. There is still a lot left after the body, and twenty-one arrows can be polished, for a total of thirty-six arrows. It is necessary to ensure that they are all polished into shape, and there must be no defective products. He had the memory of Wu Kui in his mind. Wu Kui was not only the expert archer of the Bear Clan, but also the best in arrow skills among the three tribes. As an expert archer, he naturally had great experience in making bows and arrows. The thickness and thickness of the arrows The length, including the weight of the arrow, is all clearly understood. There is an optimal ratio between various data. Since ironwood is much denser than ordinary wood, if you want to create a golden ratio, the arrow shaft must be larger than ordinary wood. The shaft of the bow and arrow should be slightly thinner. The so-called thinner may only be about half a millimeter. Wu Zhongyuan was concentrating on polishing, and Li Bie was concentrating on practicing Qi, but soon she lost concentration. Because the iron tree was too tough, the sound it made when polishing with a file was similar to that of sharpening a knife. The stone chamber was relatively airtight and there was an echo. , Chi La, Chi La, it was so disturbing that she could not calm down. Everyone is curious, and Li Bie is no exception, but she did not show much interest in Tieshu. On the contrary, she was very puzzled by Wu Zhongyuan's concentration and immersion in it. She must like something in order to have this kind of thing. A manifestation of obsession and selflessness. Li Bie didn't say much. He was just curious and confused, so he didn't ask any questions. He just watched quietly from the side. Wu Zhongyuan started polishing it after Li Tai and Li Ding left. He didn't eat or drink, and he forgot all about food and sleep. He was busy for a whole day. He waited until the arrow was completely polished into shape before he could caress and look at it with satisfaction. "You're putting the cart before the horse a little bit," Li Bie said. Hearing Li Bie's words, Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at her. Li Bie said, "Practicing Qi is the right path, and being obsessed with foreign objects is wrong." At this time, there was no such thing as playing with things to lose one's ambition, but Li Bie roughly meant this. Wu Zhongyuan could feel Li Bie's kindness, but he did not I agree with Li Bie’s statement, “As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Spiritual cultivation is important, but weapons at hand are also essential. In the era I lived in, there was an idiom: If you have more wings than a tiger, you have one. A handy weapon is equivalent to giving wings to a ferocious tiger." Women observe problems from a different angle than men. Wu Zhongyuan wanted to express the importance of a good weapon to a person, but Li Bie had a different view of Wu Zhongyuan's life. He became interested in the era of modern society, "Where did you originally live?" Wu Zhongyuan was stumped by Li Bie's question. It is difficult for a person who has never been exposed to modern society to understand what modern society is like. Similar questions to Wu Di and Jiang Nan Ye once asked, and he tried to explain, but both of them were confused. I'm afraid it would be more difficult to explain to Li Bie. It's not that Li Bie's IQ is not enough, but that she has mental problems. The problem, at least, is autistic tendencies. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning, Li Bie didn't ask any more questions. He gave a bowl of cooked porridge and rice to Wu Zhongyuan, then went back to sit down and continue to meditate. Wu Zhongyuan thought for a long time but couldn't think of a way to express it that Li Bie could intuitively understand. He had no choice but to say, "I used to live in a very distant place. There is a big difference between there and here. Unless I have seen it with my own eyes, even if I say You can't even imagine it." Li Bie had already started practicing Qi. Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, he didn't respond. It wasn't because he was angry, but because he couldn't concentrate on practicing Qi for a whole day.

She felt that she had slacked off and finally calmed down. She wanted to seize the time to breathe out and practice Qi. But this was just her wishful thinking, and it didn't take long for Wu Zhongyuan to start choking again. Once people are repelled by a certain sound, they will gradually form a conditioned reflex and become more and more unbearable. Wu Zhongyuan shivered for a day, and Li Bie no longer simply rejected this sound, it almost turned into fear. Finally, Finally I couldn't bear it anymore, opened the stone door and walked out. The stone room was very stuffy and hot. After holding it in for a day, Wu Zhongyuan also wanted to go out for some air, so he took the file and branches and followed him out. When he saw Li Bie sitting cross-legged and meditating under the tree, he did not approach her, but went further away. Li didn't know that Wu Zhongyuan had gone to the top of the mountain, but he never got up to stop him. The reason why Wu Zhongyuan stayed here was because he didn't want to leave, not because he couldn't leave. It was the second watch at this time. Wu Zhongyuan came back from the fourth watch. In these two watches, he was not polishing arrow shafts all the time. He also took the time to wander around the area and brought back a lot of wild fruits and caught them. A few fish. Li Bie offered some fruit, but she refused to accept it. After a few words of persuasion, she offered it to Li Bie, but Li Bie reluctantly accepted it. The fish was cooked by Wu Zhongyuan and was given to Li Bie. Li Bie refused to eat it, but after some persuasion, she also ate it. If you get along day and night, you will definitely become more and more familiar with each other. Even people with severe autism like Li Bie will gradually let down their guard after being in contact with each other for a long time and become familiar with each other. They will gradually talk more, but more is only a relative term. , I used to be able to speak without speaking, but now it’s much better. I can answer five or six questions out of ten. Conversation is the way of communication, and it is also the prerequisite for communication. After more conversations with Li Bie, the relationship between the two has become better and better. The so-called good relationship does not mean that there is some affection, but that they have gradually become friends. As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are dark. Wu Zhongyuan is a very optimistic person. When Li Bie is with him, his mood gradually becomes more cheerful. Using cheerful to describe it is not very accurate. To be precise, he is not so gloomy and old-fashioned. Wu Zhongyuan brings When she goes out to pick mountain persimmons, she will go too. When Wu Zhongyuan went to catch fish in the river, she would catch him from the shore. However, the two of them were not together most of the time, because Wu Zhongyuan had to polish his arrow shafts, and Li Bie never slackened off in practicing Qi. Wu Zhongyuan usually stays in the stone chamber. His spiritual energy cultivation cannot be improved in a short time, but he needs to continue to absorb the fire energy to consolidate the fire dragon's true energy. Li Bie spends most of the time outside. The spiritual energy in the stone chamber is thin, so he practices in the stone chamber. Anger gets twice the result with half the effort. It's actually not difficult to get along with Li Bie, as long as you don't ask about the bird clan and her own situation. In fact, Li Bie is not rigid and has curiosity, but she suppresses it most of the time. It took twelve days to polish fifteen branches, and then only the trunk of the iron tree was left. The trunk was relatively thick and needed to be cut open. A part of it was used as the bow body, and the rest was still polished for arrows. Anyone who knows a little bit about physics knows that hardness and toughness are not the same concepts. Iron trees are not hard in the true sense and should be classified as tough. Even a master of purple energy cannot break it, but as long as you persevere, it can still be slowed down. Sawed slowly. In addition, the toughest part of the tree is not the center of the tree, which is often soft. Cut the trunk into two sections, take the long section and cut it vertically to obtain the bow body, and polish the remaining parts for arrows. Unknowingly, at the beginning of the month, someone came, but Li Tai didn't come. It was Li Ding who came to deliver food to the two of them. Li Ding did not stay too long. He had a brief conversation with Li Bie and then left in a hurry. Li Ding and Li Bie did not shy away from Wu Zhongyuan when talking to each other. The short conversation could be roughly divided into two parts. First, the reason why Li Tai asked Li Bie to look at him was because she was the person Li Tai trusted most, and he was related to The rise and fall of the bird clan must be closely guarded and closely guarded. The second is that the Ox Clan is negotiating with the Bear Clan, trying to get the White Dragon Pill back. The conversation between Li Ding and Li Bie lasted less than five minutes. After Li Ding left, Wu Zhongyuan kept frowning. Something seemed a little wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment. The two of them had picked a lot of mountain persimmons and put them on the stone slab behind to bake and dehydrate them. Before Li Ding came over, Li Bie put away the mountain persimmons. After Li Ding left, Li Bie arranged the mountain persimmons again. The two took it back and ate one by themselves. The larger one was handed to Wu Zhongyuan, "It's very sweet." Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Li Bie, who handed it to Li Bie again. Seeing the friendliness and closeness on Li Bie's face, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly realized that he finally knew what was wrong. He underestimated Li Tai. In fact, Li Tai already knew that he was the one who fought fiercely with Wu Ao when he came here last time. It is said that Wu Ao directed and acted himself, just to stabilize him. Never underestimate people in high positions. Li Tai is not stupid. When Li Tai came here last time, he was really surprised to find that he was still here, but this kind of surprise was because he clearly had no need to come back. But the surprise came back, instead of the surprise that he was trapped here, another one of him appeared in the fight between Youxiong and Wu Ao. Putting himself in another person's shoes, when Li Tai found out that he was back, he immediately wondered why he was back? When he was imprisoned here, Li Tai and others did not know that he would take the opportunity to practice Fire Dragon Qi here, but when Xiong Xiong, who was stationed by the Bird Clan, informed Li Tai about his battle with Wu Ao, Li Tai knew He has already mastered the Fire Dragon Qi. Now that he has mastered the Fire Dragon Qi, he has no motive to stay here anymore. In this case, why would he come back? There is only one reasonable reason, and that is that he does not want to implicate Li Bie...
