Li Guangming shook his head, sighed and said, "The two of them have to join the Qinglong Army when they come back from the wilderness. This is what the general agreed with Chen Chaofan."
"You should have a good rest. Next, we have to speed up the production of the iron arrows you need. I will come over tomorrow and take you to the arrow-making workshop. You will tell them your requirements then."
Li Guangming knew that things like forging iron arrows could not be done by Li Xiuyuan. He had to be responsible for engraving runes, so the supervision would naturally fall on him.
What made him happy was that when Li Mubai tried shooting the talisman arrow, he really promoted himself to the rank of Captain of Ten Thousands as Gui Guzi said.
He has been working hard for this day for decades.
Seeing my dream come true was actually because of this inconspicuous young man in front of me.
Waving his hand, Li Guangming walked outside the house...
Looking at Li Guangming's back, Li Xiuyuan lamented: "Listen to the wind and rain on the Great Wall, you are the god, and you are the ghost. Don't kill me here!"
"Come in and drink tea." Guiguzi looked at Li Xiuyuan who looked disappointed and said softly.
"Teacher, didn't you tell me this? Why did you drag me into it again? How can I have free time to do my own things?"
Sitting at the table in the living room, looking at the kettle whining on the table, Li Xiuyuan asked helplessly.
"Li Guangming didn't tell you, he just said it was your idea." Guiguzi sighed: "He put all the responsibility on me. Now it's better. I can't do it without learning."
According to Gui Guzi's idea, he just wanted to quietly learn the talisman arrows that Li Xiuyuan had understood, and maybe he could use this to step into the threshold of a talisman master. Unexpectedly, after all calculations, he missed one Li Mubai.
An unreasonable Qinglong Army general dragged both master and disciple into the water.
"Teacher, don't worry, I'm here! You just need to control the strength, maintain the strength of each rune, and don't break it in the middle." Having already engraved ten rune arrows, he felt that this was really as complicated as he thought.
"Xiu Yuan, don't underestimate the power of this inscription. It wouldn't be possible without decades of hard training."
Gui Guzi laughed, other rune masters had to practice basic skills for decades, but Li Xiuyuan actually became an arrow overnight. If this were said out loud, I'm afraid it would cause a shocking wave on the Great Wall.
"Teacher, when the iron arrows are cast, just do what I said and try to carve them with your heart. At most, you can try a few more arrows." Li Xiuyuan picked up the pot and poured tea for the two of them, and said quietly.
He didn't bother to care about others, but he had to treat his teacher seriously.
"That's all, I just have to put in some effort and try a few more times! Speaking of which, I'm also looking forward to it. Maybe I'll succeed in the first try?!"
Guiguzi showed an innocent smile like a child.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "This disciple will definitely help the teacher fulfill this wish."
"After two cups of tea, you go and have a rest. Go there with Li Guangming tomorrow. Remember not to argue with others. It's not easy for everyone here. Everyone is working hard!"
"Disciple understands, as long as they don't come to offend me, I will never provoke others!"
After saying this, Li Xiuyuan drank all the tea in the cup and walked out.
...
"The general said that your talisman arrows are too heavy. An ordinary iron bow cannot shoot far. Think of a way to make it lighter." Standing in the foundry, Li Guangming looked at Li Xiuyuan and said in a deep voice.
Although the talisman arrows made by Li Xiuyuan are good, the materials used are all high-quality. If ordinary monks lack physical bodies or have poor bows and arrows, they will not be able to shoot far.
This was also a headache for both Li Mubai and Li Guangming, but Li Xiuyuan had never thought about this problem before.
"Is there the lightest metal here?" Li Xiuyuan looked at Li Guangming and asked quietly.
"Um...are there any lighter materials here? Let's take a look." Li Guangming looked at the craftsmen around him and asked, how did he know about these things?
"Yulin, go get some cinnabar and show it to General Li." The craftsman in charge replied and looked back at Li Xiuyuan behind Li Guangming.
After a while, the craftsman named Yulin brought a piece of cinnabar and handed it to Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan was startled, weighing the piece of light metal in his hand, and felt a sense of déjà vu.
After pondering for a while, he looked at several craftsmen and asked: "If a talisman arrow uses five parts of materials, three parts of fine iron, two parts of cinnabar, and one part of silver, let's try it. Make two first to see the weight and strength."
"Hurry up and get started. The general is still waiting for everyone to create the finished product. Once it is done, everyone will have military exploits to gain..."
For Fu Jian, Li Guangming was more interested than Li Xiuyuan now. A small iron arrow actually promoted him from a captain of thousands to a captain of ten thousand. He did not want to lose such an opportunity easily.
"Don't worry, general, we can build it by noon tomorrow at the latest." The craftsman named Yulin said to Li Guangming.
"Let me think about it... If we don't wait to make only one iron arrow a day, we can adjust the formula and create several different iron arrows at the same time. It shouldn't be a problem."
Seeing Li Guangming's anxious look, Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.
If you make several iron arrows with different formulas, you can find problems during the process of engraving and test firing, and find the most balanced formula.
Do you have time to wait for these craftsmen to work hard every day?
"Just follow this idea. If you can make iron arrows tomorrow, you can give the finished product to the general the day after tomorrow. You have to hurry up. The battle on the Great Wall is uncertain, so everyone should work harder."
Li Guangming waved his hand and watched Li Xiuyuan write down different recipes and hand them to the craftsmen in front of him, and seriously emphasized the importance of iron arrows to the group of craftsmen in front of him.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." The craftsmen replied in unison.
Li Xiuyuan thanked everyone and followed Li Guangming out of the workshop.
"Li Xiuyuan, what are your plans when this talisman arrow is made? Are you going to follow me to the battlefield and make military exploits, or do you have other plans?"
Li Guangming looked up at the Sky Tower in the distance and said leisurely.
"I'm afraid this will happen in a long time. Before the teacher makes the talisman arrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to go anywhere!" There was no excitement in Li Xiuyuan's eyes!
On the Great Wall, he was like a trapped wolf, unable to go anywhere.
Although he did not restrict him explicitly, he understood that as soon as he wanted to leave, someone would immediately stop him, because the talisman arrows were very important to the Great Wall at the moment.
The cost of repairing the Great Wall alone is a huge expense every year. Once these talisman arrows are available, the barbaric barbarians will no longer be able to approach the city wall...
"Please tell General Li, I will go all out to complete this task!" Following Li Guangming's gaze, he saw the towering Sky Tower, where he wanted to go.
Although he no longer needs to use yin and yang spiritual power to complete the inscription of the talisman arrows, he wants to feel more of the power of heaven and earth. When manpower is always exhausted, he has to look for more power.
"That's very good. You go back to Guiguzi first. I will send the iron arrow to you tomorrow, so you don't have to make another trip." Li Guangming glanced at Li Xiuyuan, smiled and turned around to leave.
After turning around, Li Xiuyuan stood under the tall Sky Tower.
It wasn't until he got closer that he discovered that his teacher Guiguzi was also standing under the tower and looking up at the Sky Tower. However, at this time, Guiguzi closed his eyes tightly, as if he had entered an epiphany, or the state of seeing the world with the mind's eye.
After staying with him quietly for a while, quietly absorbing some yin and yang energy, Li Xiuyuan turned and left Guiguzi.
Judging from the current situation, his teacher will have to stay here for one to two hours.
The rune arrows have been created, and what he needs to do now is to learn more runes. Even if he is not in a hurry now, he will use different runes one day.
The more you accumulate, the less you will gain. This is what the master of the academy taught him.
It's a pity that my iron sword is a bit weird. Otherwise, if I carved a few runes on it, I wonder if it would have a special effect?
However, you can try to learn the Light Spirit Talisman. When you return to the academy and carve a rune on Wei Qing's sword, you may gain unexpected rewards.
If Qingying wants to use a weapon after transforming, he can also engrave a rune on it, so that different weapons can be blessed with some power between heaven and earth, which is tantamount to raising the owner of the weapon to a higher level!
"When I refine two more powerful runes, I will ask the teacher about the whereabouts of that thing. I might as well go to the wilderness!"
Thinking of the agreement with Gu Canglong, Li Xiuyuan felt as big as an ox.
I have been to the Great Wall for so long, but I don’t have any news about that thing, and I haven’t heard it mentioned by Li Guangming and Gui Guzi. It seems that I am the only one who has the shame to inquire about it.
Back in his room, Li Xiuyuan picked up the thick book on the table and dived into different runes. While he was still here, he wanted to learn as much knowledge about Talismans as possible.
From past time to no time, and then from You time to Xu time, Li Xiuyuan didn't put down the book in his hand until Gui Guzi sent a message asking him to go out for dinner.
"Teacher is back. How did you feel today? Have you seen the power of yin and yang in the sky...?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at Guiguzi, whose face was red, and asked with a smile.
Guiguzi was stunned, looked at him and asked: "You also went to the Sky Tower today. Since you saw me as a teacher, why don't you wait for me to come back together?"
"The teacher was in meditation when I went there. Who knows how much effort you have to put in, and I don't dare to disturb your practice? Didn't I come back to read a book?"
Just as Li Xiuyuan said, when a monk is calm, he hates being disturbed by others. With Gui Guzi's cultivation level, he was not afraid of anyone coming forward to cause trouble, and no one dared to make trouble inside the Great Wall.
The master shook his head and asked softly: "How was the communication with the craftsmen? Is there anything they can't solve?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and replied softly: "No, the general thinks the arrow is too heavy. I changed the material mix today. I hope they can cast different iron arrows tomorrow, and I will find a suitable one."
He didn't expect that Li Mubai's requirements were higher than his own. The arrow is too heavy and cannot shoot far, the arrow is too light and has no penetrating power, it must be light yet penetrating, and it must be able to withstand the hardness of the inscribed runes...
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan realized that what he had considered at the beginning was simpler.
This is the Great Wall, and every monk here has a different realm. He can't just care about himself, he has to think more about the generals who use these talisman arrows.
Guiguzi smiled and said: "The general is still thoughtful, unlike us who just build it."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said softly: "I now understand why people before me always failed to succeed. Just the materials for casting arrows will stump many Fu Dao masters."
Guiguzi waved his hands vigorously, smiled and said loudly: "We'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow. Let's eat first. This guy Li Guangming had someone send this over. He said he wanted to thank you for helping him a lot."
Li Xiuyuan pursed his lips and said softly: "That's all I gave you. He's too stingy."
