The long bow in the wooden box is very different from ordinary bows and arrows. First of all, it has a weird shape. Ordinary bows and arrows have a large arc, but the bow and arrow in the box has no arc, it is almost straight, and there are no curved tips at both ends. Son, if it weren't for the bowstring connected to it, at first glance, I would have thought it was a three-foot-long stick.
Another difference is the color. Ordinary bows and arrows only have one color, but this bow and arrows are colorful. The bow string is white, the bow tips binding the bow strings at both ends are red, the bow body that holds the power is green, and the middle is used for gripping. The handle of the bow is yellow, and the string pad used to reduce the vibration of the bow string is black. There are five colors in one bow.
Seeing how strange the long bow was, Chang Sheng put down Tian Canyi in his hand and took out the long bow from the wooden box to examine it. Common bows and arrows have flat bodies, with widths of more than an inch, but the long bow in front of him has a length of It is round and only about half an inch wide. The entire long bow looks like a slender stick.
As a Taoist priest who is proficient in yin and yang and the five elements, the first time he saw this long bow, he suspected that this long bow was probably composed of the five materials of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, because white, green, black, red and yellow correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. .
After carefully looking at the long bow, he saw no words engraved on it. Chang Sheng casually picked up a piece of white jade paperweight on the table and knocked it to identify the sound, trying to identify the material through the sound.
At this moment, Song Cai opened a thick book, pointed to one of the pages and said to Changsheng, "Master, look at it."
Hearing Song Cai's words, Changsheng moved his gaze to the document. This document is a list of Ni Bo's collection. The current page of the document is a description of this strange bow and arrow, and the description of this strange bow and arrow is very brief. , there are only a few numbers, 'The ancient weapon, the arrowless divine bow. '
Seeing Chang Sheng raise his head in doubt, Song Cai shook his head and said, "I have never seen this thing before. My old boss got it from somewhere else. We know nothing about its origins, and I'm afraid even my old boss himself doesn't know. I just thought Among the weapons that my boss had previously taken away from the Taiping Inn, there was no remote attack crossbow, so after discovering this bow and arrow, I wanted to leave it to my boss."
Changsheng nodded and tried to pull the string to draw the bow, but found that the bow was extremely tough and could not be drawn without stimulating the spiritual energy.
Changsheng originally wanted to activate his spiritual energy and try to shoot a bow, but when he saw the word "ancient weapon" in the book, he didn't dare to try it rashly. Since this thing is called an ancient weapon, it naturally has its unruly and cruel features.
But the four words "Arrowless Divine Bow" made him extremely curious. Although the world is accustomed to calling long bows bows and arrows, in fact, bows and arrows are two completely different things. A bow is a bow and an arrow is an arrow. What does the "Arrowless Divine Bow" mean? Bows and arrows are originally two different things. Bows should not have arrows in the first place. The four characters of "Arrowless Divine Bow" do not make sense.
Just when Chang Sheng was hesitating, Song Cai turned the document to the page where Tian Can Yi was recorded. Song Cai had previously mentioned the origin of Tian Can Yi, and what was recorded in the document was roughly similar to what Song Cai said.
"My boss, I'm afraid we won't come back again," Song Caiduo said sadly, "Look at the catalog again. If there is anything you need here, you can stay."
"No need," Changsheng shook his head, "I'll take this bow and arrow with me, and I'll slowly figure it out when I get back. I'll take one of these two pieces of silkworm clothing, and you can take the other one to the Western Regions."
Song Cai was not surprised by Changsheng's arrangement. Although Changsheng did not say it explicitly, he knew that Changsheng wanted him to bring another piece of silkworm clothing to Ni Chenyi.
"My boss, you'd better take a look at it again," Song Cai pushed the document in front of Changsheng, "Since my old boss didn't take them away before leaving, he naturally thought that you might use these things in the future."
"No need," Changsheng waved his hand and said, "They left in an extremely hurry that day and did not have time to pack carefully. The things here are all the beloved things that Mr. Ni has collected for many years. You can take away whatever you can."
Seeing that Changsheng had made up his mind, Song Cai stopped trying to persuade him, "The Taiping Inn also has a lot of inventory. We are sorting out the catalogue. We will send it to the palace for you to look at in the next few days. Please mark the useful things and we will send them to you." Send it to the palace."
"That's fine," Changsheng nodded, "You continue your work, I'll go back first."
Song Cai nodded in response, then closed the two wooden boxes, one large and one small, and handed them over to Changsheng.
Changsheng took the wooden box and turned around to go ahead, followed by Song Cai to see it off.
After leaving Ni's Mansion, Changsheng rode back to the Prince's Mansion.
After returning to the palace, he went straight to Yu Yi's residence. Yu Yi closed the door under Chang Sheng's instruction. Chang Sheng opened the wooden box and took out the weird long bow.
Rather than taking out a long bow, it was more like taking out a stick. Except for the bow string that was close to the bow body, there was nothing about the whole thing that looked like a bow and arrow.
"Sir, what is this?" Yu Yi looked at it in confusion.
"Bows and arrows," Changsheng said, "are also old things. They are relics from ancient times. There are only eight words in the record about this bow and arrow. It is an ancient weapon, the arrowless divine bow."
Hearing Changsheng's words, Yu Yi was also confused, "What is the arrowless divine bow?"
"I don't know." Changsheng had not examined it carefully before. This time he picked up the copper key on the table and struck it one by one. "The sound of the green bow arm is slightly dull. It must be made of wood, and the white bow string touches it. There is an echo of copper and iron underneath, it should be something metal. Can you tell what the red bow tips at both ends are made of?"
Yu Yi looked at it carefully and said, "The bow tip is put on. Looking at the inner edge, it seems that the bow tip was originally hollow."
"Yes," Changsheng nodded, "This object should be the skeleton or claws of some kind of bird."
After Yu nodded, Changsheng continued to inspect, "The black string pad should be the skeleton of some kind of aquatic animal. If you look carefully, there are no lines on it, which rules out the possibility of scales. The yellow bow handle is not astringent or slippery, and it looks like It’s some kind of rare jade.”
After tapping and inspecting each one, Chang Sheng handed the long bow to Yu Yi, "Take a closer look."
Yu Yi stretched out his hand to take the long bow, stroked it and inspected it, "Sir, have you noticed that the bow tips at both ends are very warm?"
Chang Sheng was about to take a cup of water, and when he heard Yu's words, he reached out and held the tip of the bow, "You are right, it is true."
Yu Yi continued to look at it carefully, and after a while he pointed at the bow again and said, "Sir, look here."
Changsheng came closer to look at her. Because the two were so close, Changsheng smelled the fresh scent of Yu Yi. Since Yu Yi was a nun, he had never regarded Yu Yi as a woman before. Only now did he remember that she was also a young woman.
Changsheng leaned back slightly and distanced himself from Yu Yi, "I have never seen this kind of wood grain. This kind of tree should be extinct."
"Sir, these are not wood grains, but bone grains." Yu Yi corrected.
"Bone patterns?" Changsheng frowned and looked again. After a closer look, he found that the dense textures of different lengths on the green bow were not wood grains, but the bones of some kind of animal. As time goes by, animal bones will indeed appear. Small cracks similar to wood grain.
Seeing that the green bow body, black string pad and red bow tip were all animal bones, Chang Sheng suspected that the white bow string and yellow bow handle were also animal bones. After careful inspection, he found that the yellow bow handle was indeed topaz, and that The white bowstring is indeed not metal, but it is definitely not sinew.
After thinking for a short time, Changsheng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly stretched out his hand to touch the black string pad, "It's cold! I know what it is."
"Four divine beasts?" Yu Yi said with a trembling voice.
"Yes, the bow body is made of green dragon bone, the string pad is made of black tortoise shell, the tip of the bow is made of red bird claws, and the bow handle is made of black yellow jade." Changsheng said.
"Where's the bowstring?" Yu Yi asked.
"White Tiger Beard..."
