From time to time, Li Xiuyuan had no intention of stopping.
The black and white power of Delirium magnified the tiny arrow body several times, and he could even feel the slightest trace of fairy spiritual energy surging between his fingers.
It only takes a quarter of an hour to write a rune with cinnabar.
It took him almost two hours to carve the first talisman arrow in his life.
And he firmly believed that as long as he practiced a few more times, he could even engrave runes on the arrows based on his feeling.
The premise is that you have an inscription knife that is easy to use. Furthermore, the arrow body must be made with your own craftsmanship, otherwise it will either be too soft or too hard.
If it is too soft, the disease will be lethal, but if it is too hard, there is no way to engrave runes on it.
After carving the last smile rune, Li Xiuyuan picked up the rune and held it under the sunshine outside the house. He looked at the rune arrows on the thin arrows with the same depth and color, and there was a hint of sword intent between the lines.
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but shouted: "Teacher, do you want to come out and try your arrows?"
Gui Guzi, who was sitting in the living room, heard Li Xiuyuan's shouting and couldn't help but reply: "Do you want to scare me to death by shouting so loudly?"
Before he finished speaking, he had already walked out of the living room. He looked at Li Xiuyuan who was standing under the eaves with a happy face and asked, "Is it done?"
"It's done!" Li Xiuyuan handed the talisman arrow in his hand to Gui Guzi.
Guiguzi reached out and stroked the runes on the arrow, feeling the strong power of the flames, and looked at him and smiled: "Would you like to find a place to try?"
"Of course I have to give it a try. Today is a day to witness a miracle."
Looking at Gui Guzi, who also looked excited, Li Xiuyuan laughed loudly.
Guiguzi glanced at him, and the master and apprentice walked towards the lake behind the small courtyard. No matter whether the talisman arrow was powerful or not, he would not test the arrow where he lived.
Standing by the lake, looking at the calm water, Li Xiuyuan handed the iron bow to Guiguzi and said with a smile, "Teacher, how about trying the first arrow?"
Guiguzi shook his head, returned the talisman arrow in his hand to him, and said: "My old arms and legs don't want to play with these anymore. Just come and shoot it for me to see."
Li Xiuyuan took the talisman arrow and took a deep breath.
Concentrating and calming down, he placed this unique talisman arrow on the iron bowstring of his left hand.
Holding the iron bow tightly in his left hand, a stream of fairy spiritual energy instantly swam between his arms, flowing towards the runes on the arrows.
Just for an instant, the runes on the talisman arrows seemed to come alive, emitting a faint golden light. At this moment, Li Xiuyuan released his spiritual consciousness. He wanted the world to know what he was going to do and what he could do.
With a sound of "Buzz!", the string rang and the arrow flew away.
At the moment when the talisman arrow flew out, Li Xiuyuan's consciousness activated the runes on the arrow.
I saw a sharp black arrow piercing the tranquil lake water, flying towards the big tree on the opposite side of the lake with a ripple, like dew and lightning.
Suddenly there was a burnt smell of fire in the quiet air.
A hole was shot through the big tree across the lake by a talisman arrow.
The faint blue talisman arrows continued to fly towards the courtyard wall in front.
"Boom!" There was a soft sound, and a ball of flame ignited on the black courtyard wall. Although it was not big, it was still burning tenaciously.
Li Xiuyuan put down his iron bow in a daze and looked back at Guiguzi with a questioning look.
"Teacher, is this a success or a failure?" Li Xiuyuan felt that his teacher should comment on the first talisman arrow in his life.
Guiguzi spread his hands, his old face full of surprise and confusion.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry and pick up that talisman arrow!"
With a cheer, both the master and the disciple walked around to the temple on the opposite side. When Gui Guzi took the intact talisman arrow from Li Xiuyuan's hand, there was like a thunder above his head.
There is a flame burning when the arrow comes out, but the talisman arrow is intact. What kind of forging skills does this require? I wonder how much effort my disciple spent tens of thousands of times forging this humble talisman arrow?
Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to touch the traces of burning on the courtyard wall, and said softly: "This intensity is still not enough, the firepower is too small."
Guiguzi shook his head, looked at him and said, "That's right, today is the day you create a miracle."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the talisman arrow in his hand and sensed it carefully. Looking at the burning marks in front of him with confusion, he asked: "Teacher, the only drawback is that this talisman arrow can only be used once. If you want to use it again, you can only recast it in the furnace."
Gui Guzi suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at him and said with a smile: "I remember Chen Guangming gave you half a month. How long has it been? Even if you can draw a magic talisman, can you still use it repeatedly?"
"Teacher, don't be angry, I just said it casually. It took two hours of hard work, not including the previous casting effort. I didn't expect it to be gone with a whoosh."
Li Xiuyuan was also extremely happy in his heart. Since he had succeeded in the first step, all he needed to do next was to grasp the strength of the rune inscription and be more careful.
Tomorrow, he decided that starting from tomorrow, he would learn the explosive rune.
After thinking carefully, he thought that if he first shot a flame talisman arrow to attract the opponent's attention, and then shot the explosive talisman arrow, the lethality would be more than doubled.
Guiguzi smiled, stretched out the talisman arrows he held tightly in his right hand, and said: "Xiuyuan, you have created a miracle on the battlefield of the Great Wall. If more arrows like this can be distributed to the army, I am afraid that the barbarians will Don’t dare to attack my Great Wall again.”
It was only then that Li Xiuyuan felt extremely tired. He looked at his teacher and said, "For this arrow, my disciple has exhausted all his energy. I am going to go around the city now."
Guiguzi turned around and walked out, saying as he walked: "You go ahead, I'll go back and think about how to speed up the casting of this kind of talisman arrows."
Li Xiuyuan, who came back to his senses, looked at him and said: "The key is that the arrow body must be strong! It must be cast according to my formula! Otherwise, it will not be inscribed successfully!"
Guiguzi nodded and responded: "That's natural. Anyway, you have succeeded. You don't have to worry about anything else. Don't you still have nine talisman arrows? Go back and think about it slowly!"
Li Yeyuan smiled and said nothing.
The next step is not just as simple as inscribing runes, he has to continue to learn more runes. Once he takes root here, he will have to find what the ancient blue dragon wants.
After arriving at the Great Wall, he realized that both his cultivation and his physical body were too weak to fight against the barbaric wilderness.
"There's another thing you have to consider. If you're on the battlefield, you have to take the wind speed into consideration."
Looking at Li Xiuyuan who was about to walk out, Guiguzi said seriously. After all, the battlefield is ever-changing, and there is not a quiet open space waiting for you to test fire like just now.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled and replied: "Teacher, don't worry, I will learn and improve at the same time."
...
There were still two hundred feet away from the Sky Tower. Li Xiuyuan, who was thinking with his head down, ran into the oncoming Chen Guangming.
"Where are you thinking about going? Li Xiuyuan, have you succeeded? Our agreement is less than four days away. Do you still have time to walk on this street?"
Chen Guangming looked at the young man in front of him and started nagging.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's it. I won't waste my time and life here."
When Chen Guangming heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Almost? What does this mean? Where are you planning to go? You can't just run around in this city."
"I plan to go somewhere to sense the breath of heaven and earth, and then go back to study my talisman arrows. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask my teacher. He should start making tea now."
Looking at Chen Guangming in front of him, Li Xiuyuan couldn't hide his intention to go to the Sky Tower. These days, someone might have noticed his every move.
He was helpless and could only think of a reason that was not a reason. After all, it took a lot of energy and energy for him to look at the talisman arrow.
Chen Guangming nodded, looked at him and said, "You go ahead, I'll go sit with your master and you come back early."
Li Xiuyuan bowed to him and said with a smile: "I heard from the teacher that you should be promoted to a captain of ten thousand men in a short time. I said, does a captain of ten thousand men count as a general? At least he is also a deputy general, right?"
Chen Guangming waved his hand and said: "How is it possible? The captain of ten thousand is naturally at the level of a general, but he is just a lower-level general."
Hearing these words, Li Xiuyuan trembled slightly and said to him: "It seems that you will be General Chen soon."
When Chen Guangming heard this, he looked at him in disbelief and asked, "How is this possible? I haven't made any great military exploits?!"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. You'd better ask my teacher. I'm going there." After saying that, he reached out and pointed in the direction of the Sky Tower.
"Well, you go ahead." Chen Guangming looked at his back and muttered to himself: "Captain Ten Thousand? General Chen? What the hell."
...
Li Xiuyuan had already walked away while he was talking, so naturally he couldn't hear his muttering.
Chen Guangming, who was worried, came all the way to Guiguzi's small courtyard. As soon as he entered the living room, he asked: "Master, don't scare me. I haven't made any military exploits recently. How can I be promoted to the rank of captain of ten thousand men?"
Gui Guzi took out the talisman arrow that Li Xiuyuan had just shot and handed it to Li Guangming. With a thought, he activated the last trace of flame power on the arrow.
I saw the thin runes on the arrow suddenly light up, a blast of heat rising up, and a wave of heat rushing in front of the two of them.
Li Guangming stared at the talisman arrow, carefully sensing the elusive aura with his spiritual consciousness.
Guiguzi poured him a cup of tea and said calmly: "This is the first talisman arrow made by Li Xiuyuan. We have just tested it."
"Successful? How powerful is it?" Chen Guangming, who was overjoyed, looked at Guiguzi and asked.
"Of course it was successful, otherwise where would you, the captain of ten thousand men, come from?"
Guiguzi shook his head and said: "It's just that to make such an arrow body, you have to use the materials you gave Li Xiuyuan and then forge it according to his method. There are even fewer monks who can inscribe such runes."
"Don't be afraid if the number is small. We only use these talisman arrows for defense. At critical moments, we use... How can the talisman arrows made with so much effort be regarded as ordinary arrows?"
Just as Gui Guzi said, as long as such a talisman arrow is created, he can at least level up again.
Thinking of this, Chen Guangming couldn't help but ask: "Li Xiuyuan went to the Sky Tower and said where he wanted to feel the power of heaven and earth. Didn't he cast talisman arrows? Why do he still need to use the power of heaven and earth?"
Guiguzi sighed and said quietly: "What are runes? What is the ultimate meaning of runes? If there is no help from the power of heaven and earth, what is the rune between heaven and earth?"
Chen Guangming shook his head and said, "It seems that I know too little about Fu Dao."
Guiguzi looked at him and said: "This is not your fault. After all, you are practicing Taoism, not Talismans. I am just telling you this truth. To the end, practicing Taoism cannot be separated from the help of the power of heaven and earth."
Chen Guangming looked at Guiguzi, rubbed his hands and smiled: "You and Li Xiuyuan have helped me so much, I have to find a way to thank you, master and disciple."
Guiguzi nodded and said: "It's simple. My disciple has been working hard day and night recently. You can just bring over some food and wine. There's no need to worry about the rest."
When Chen Guangming heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he laughed and said, "That's necessary."
