Chapter 203 Breaking the Evil Talisman into the Fire Cave Temple at Night
“It seems that Li’s skills haven’t been lost yet.”
Just trying out the bow.
There is such an amazing formation.
For a time, everyone around was amazed.
Seeing this situation, Li Shuguo couldn't help stroking his beard and smiled.
"Not only is it not lost, shopkeeper Li's skills are top-notch even if you look at the entire world."
The old foreigner carrying a big bow.
For a while, I drew the bow, and for a while, I buttoned the string. My big hand gently stroked the bow. The more I looked at it, the more satisfying it became.
“It’s been praised too much.”
Li Shuguo waved his hands repeatedly.
It’s just that the raised corners of his mouth couldn’t be lowered at all.
"By the way, has the old foreigner brother thought of a name?"
"A name?"
The old foreigner was slightly startled.
He really hadn't thought about it.
After all, from the beginning, he was only thinking about recasting the Qinchuan Bow.
Since it is a recast, there should not be much change.
Shouldn’t the name Qinchuan Gong continue?
“Secret gold is used as the body, the sun and moon are used as embellishments, and dragon tendons are used as strings. It is said to be a recast, but in fact it has nothing to do with the Qinchuan Bow.”
Li Shuguo smiled and shook his head.
Although this is the age of firearms, he has also made many crossbows for others over the years.
There are hunters in the mountains who hunt with bows and arrows. Especially the elderly do not trust firearms such as blunderbuss and shotguns. Their ancestors have used big bows and long arrows.
Have it on your back.
No matter how deep the mountains and old forests are, they dare to venture in.
There were also many green forest bandits who went up to the mountain to ask him to make siege crossbows.
These days, there are countless people who have fallen under the grass. The top of a mountain is occupied by others, but not everyone is a victorious mountain. They can afford to buy mountain cannons and can only use bows and crossbows to guard the mountains.
However.
But there is no bow.
Comparable to the one in front of me.
Regardless of style or strength, for him, at least so far, it is impeccable.
Although he calls himself an ironman.
But there are so many craftsmen in the world.
The only one who can enter one hundred and eight mountains is the Fengfengshan family.
Tool refining also pays attention to the right time and place, and a sudden inspiration.
This bow is just that.
He didn't have an accurate idea at first, until he got up in the middle of the night and added ingredients to the stove. He was sitting on a stone chair and smoking a dry cigarette, and accidentally glanced at the weapons catalog in front of him.
The mountain breeze blows and the pages of the book turn.
Just a glimpse.
Finally stopped at the dragon tongue bow.
Looking at the legendary divine bow, his blocked thoughts were instantly cleared up like an enlightenment.
Then...
Three days in a row.
Li Shuguo almost never sleeps.
Forcibly tempered the bow body.
Therefore, in his opinion, this is a unique big bow, and it should naturally have its own name.
"How about...asking Shopkeeper Li to give me a name."
The old foreigner scratched his head and thought about it, but he could never think of a name that satisfied him.
And what Li Shuguo was waiting for was his words.
Immediately I was not polite.
"How about Jiao Shooting Bow?"
"Jiao Shooting?"
The old foreigner frowned slightly, his expression clearly showing some confusion.
“The dragon belongs to the dragon and is good at twisting. It is the ultimate power between heaven and earth, symbolizing strength. The shooter has a heavy arrow coming from the body. It also means the scale of the law, symbolizing precision.”
It seems that I already knew that the old foreigner would ask this question.
Li Shuguo held up the cigarette rod and explained unhurriedly.
In fact, he originally wanted to name it the Dragon Tongue Bow, which corresponds to the Dragon Tongue Bow used by Lu Fengxian to shoot halberds at the gate.
That’s all.
It may seem like copying.
So I simply changed the word "tongue" to "shoot". The word "shoot" itself has the meaning of stretching a bow and setting up an arrow, which complements this strong bow.
"The dragon shoots the bow, the dragon shoots the bow!"
I heard Li Shuguo's explanation.
The old foreigner couldn't help chewing it several times in a low voice. The more he thought about it, the more his amber eyes became clearer.
“Okay, that’s it.”
“Thank you, Shopkeeper Li, for the name!”
"Hahaha, you are so polite, old foreigner brother." Li Shuguo shook his head repeatedly, and then changed the topic, "By the way, do you have any requirements for arrows?"
"One needs to be long, and the other needs to be accurate! ”
Only a long arrow can match this strong bow.
The old foreigner thought clearly about this.
Nearly all the iron arrows used by Qinchuan Bow were polished by him on daily basis. They were sharp enough, but the accuracy was much lower.
In other words, his archery skills are unparalleled.
Otherwise, someone else would never be able to display one-tenth of Qinchuan Gong’s tyranny.
“No problem.”
“I’ll start after Li finishes smoking this bag of cigarettes.”
Li Shuguo agreed with a smile.
He held the cigarette rod and walked outside the fire cave. Others were as afraid of the fierce flames as tigers, but he showed no fear. He smoked cigarettes while thinking about the shape of the arrows in his mind.
"There is..."
In less than a moment.
Li Shuguo’s eyes lit up.
Ignoring the astonished looks of the people next to him, he stood up and walked straight outside the iron platform, picked up the hammer that had been with him for many years, aimed it at an iron embryo, and struck it hard.
Bang bang bang!
Fires flew everywhere.
The sound of iron and stone clashing echoed throughout the valley.
It takes less than half a quarter of an hour.
An arrow long enough for half a man appeared in his hand.
The arrows are sharpened.
The tail end is specially carved with a series of deep lines.
Lift it flat to eye level.
Li Shuguo closed his left eye and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he handed it to the old foreigner.
“It’s almost done, here, give it a try.”
The old foreigner also polished many arrows himself.
But this was the first time I saw others casting arrows.
Li Shuguo is indeed one of the few masters of weapon refining in the world.
Except for a hammer and gravel.
Almost no other external objects are used.
But now that the arrow was approaching him, the old foreigner suddenly felt like it was approaching with a sharp edge, which made all the hairs on his body stand on end, as if someone had locked him with a strong bow.
The old foreigner didn't dare to delay, so he nodded and took it.
The Jiao's bow is already astonishingly large. Now that the arrow is resting on the bowstring, it is even more powerful as a dragon and a snake, devastating and unstoppable.
Buzz!
Take a deep breath, the old foreigner's blood surges under his body, swimming through the veins in his limbs, and there is a faint feeling of a surging tide.
Hold the bow string with your fingers and pull hard.
In an instant.
The dragon's big tendons slowly opened, and the trembling sound was endless. Before the arrow was shot, a terrifying momentum surged from the entire big bow.
“Get out of the way!”
“What are you doing all stupidly? Are you looking for death?”
Feeling the force rising out of thin air, Li Shuguo's face showed a solemn look for the first time, and he immediately stepped aside to avoid the target range of the arrow.
The astonishing feeling of oppression was only slightly relieved.
Seeing that the guys were still whispering to each other and looking curiously at the big bow in the old foreigner's hand, Li Shuguo couldn't help frowning and scolded loudly.
We have been together for so long.
This is the first time that Li Shuguo has become so angry.
The group of people didn't dare to stay longer, so they quickly retreated to both sides and made way for an open space.
The old foreigner was completely unaware of this.
At this moment, almost all of his mind was immersed in testing the bow.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had felt such a strong sense of resistance.
Just like many years ago.
When senior brother just handed Qinchuan Bow to him.
Being young and ignorant, he subconsciously tried it, but unfortunately, despite all his strength, he could not even open the bow half an inch.
In the end, if the senior brother hadn’t stopped him in time.
Maybe he will lose both hands.
I thought that after tempering my body with demon blood, washing my marrow and cutting my bones, and then entering into cultivation, no matter how strong this dragon shooting bow was, I should still be able to shoot it as I pleased.
But now it's on.
He then realized how amazing its strength was.
Boom!
Seeing the obstacle, the old foreigner no longer looked down upon him at all. With a low drink, all the energy and blood in his body exploded. In an instant, the bowstring in his hand was like a straight ink line, changing from trembling to a roar.
"Opened..." "How many stones does this bow cost?"
"I'm afraid there must be hundreds of them."
"The sound sounds terrifying. No wonder it was just an arrow that could break through the rocks."
"If the bow is fully opened, wouldn't even the house be unable to bear it?"
"Mom, is that still a level that human power can reach?"
"I don't dare to think about it. If it were me, I would probably be able to hold the bow steady and keep it from falling."
"You really dare to think about it."
Listen to the sudden burst of wind. Everyone around was shocked by the rain-like sound of strings clicking. Some people even couldn't bear the sonic boom and chose to cover their ears.
They finally reacted.
Why did Shopkeeper Li get angry and drive them away?
What if he was still standing in front of the old foreigner in a daze?
Just the invisible roar condensed on the arrows was enough to cut them into a pile of debris.
Finally.
The old foreigner stimulated the blood all over his body.
Finally, he opened the Jiao Shooting Bow halfway.
But even so, the feeling given to him was far better than the intensity of Qinchuan Gong under the full moon.
Buzz!
Hold the nock of the arrow with your finger.
The sight was directed towards the depths of the fire cave, where the stone walls were almost burned red.
There was only a loud buzzing sound.
The arrow was like a meteor, turning into a streak of silver light that tore through the void and crossed the sea of fire. The next moment, the arrow sank into the stone wall and stood on the cliff that had been built for thousands of years. Countless cracks appeared in an instant.
It's like ice-cracked porcelain freshly baked.
The cracks spread rapidly in all directions.
Then...
There was a bang.
The entire stone wall collapsed, and a cave wide enough for half a man appeared in the middle of the stone wall.
"This..."
"God, is this an arrow?"
Watching a cave being shot through the stone wall out of thin air, the entire valley first fell into a state of death. There was silence, and then the sounds of shock continued to be heard.
A group of guys were even more horrified than if they had hit a ghost in broad daylight.
Even Li Shuguo was stunned.
I almost lost my grip on the cigarette rod in my hand.
Even though he felt in his heart that this arrow might be extraordinarily terrifying, it was only when he actually saw the cave on the stone wall that he realized that he had underestimated the terrifying power of the dragon's bow.
On the contrary, it is an old foreigner.
After experiencing a brief excitement.
My mood quickly calmed down.
After all, he saw with his own eyes the dragon that was suppressed under the sutra curtain of the ancient building, with demon sinews as its strings. If it didn't even have this kind of momentum, then something was wrong.
“Dragon tongue bow, Jiao shooting bow.”
“I was born at the wrong time. A few hundred years ago, Jiao shooting bow may not be able to be among the top ten famous bows. "
After a while.
Li Shuguo suddenly came to his senses.
He spat out his breath and cursed in a low voice.
But the excitement on his face could not be concealed at all.
"This short length of dragon tendon is so powerful, that nine-section whip..."
Li Shuguo touched his chin, thinking silently, because he was too focused, and his beard was broken several times. Not even aware of it.
It was because of the thought of the nine-section whip that I couldn't help but feel excited.
"Come on, come on, stop being so damn stupid, cheer up and work."
......
Guanyun Tower.
Underground Grotto.
The oil lamps swaying around him reflected a figure sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Chen Yulou’s eyes were clear and his expression was calm.
Suddenly.
I saw his right hand hanging down beside him stretched out, and the pen moved like a dragon and a snake, continuously crossing the void in front of him.
It seems random and disorganized, but if you look carefully, every stroke is just right and has a natural charm. It seems to contain some kind of power from heaven and earth.
With the interplay of light and shadow all around.
The movements of his hands became faster and faster, and in the end, almost only afterimages could be seen.
"Condensation!"
Finally.
Wait until the last stroke has been made.
Chen Yulou let out a breath of turbid air, and at the same time, he spoke out the words like a heavenly constitution.
In an instant.
In the void in front of him, streams of cyan light slowly emerged.
Finally, it condensed into an inscription the size of a millstone.
The talismans are extremely complicated.
Although it is an intangible thing, there is an aura of suppressing the five elements, suppressing evil and destroying evil.
"Evil-Breaking Talisman!"
See the talisman hanging out of thin air.
Chen Yulou’s calm eyes finally revealed a hint of excitement.
From Phoenix Valley to today.
Almost a month has passed.
He finally succeeded in drawing the first Yunlu Heavenly Book.
This is because he has the help of his spiritual consciousness and gets twice the result with half the effort. Half a year ago, the difficulty of comprehending the Yunlu Heavenly Book would definitely not be weaker than the first level of Qingmu Gong.
"At this moment...it should be late at night."
Looking at the evil-destroying talisman flashing in front of him, Chen Yulou thought about it secretly.
An idea suddenly came to my mind.
He jumped up and flicked his palm on the Evil-Breaking Talisman. The rune instantly melted into his palm like a spirit.
Get up and leave the grotto all the way.
When he pushed open the door of Guanyun Tower.
A bright silver moon disk hung in the night sky, and it was indeed midnight.
The entire Chenjiazhuang was silent. Except for the village man who was responsible for the night watch, almost everyone had fallen asleep.
Chen Yulou took a deep breath.
No more hesitation.
Go straight towards the back mountain.
While passing by the backyard, Luofu, who had closed his eyes to meditate, suddenly felt something. A consciousness came from his subconscious, as if he was wondering why the owner left in the middle of the night.
Chen Yulou just responded that it was nothing.
Let it rest peacefully.
Then he crossed the high wall all the way, found the direction in the dark night, activated his magic skills, and headed straight into the deep mountains under the night.
About half an hour later.
Chen Yulou appeared on a cliff.
In the night ahead, an ancient temple stands, and the word "Fire Cave" can be faintly seen.
It is clearly the Huodong Temple occupied by Peng Laizi before.
The Huodong Temple is located in Yanguoling. This place has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It is said that it was an ancient battlefield in the past. There are countless dead bones buried in the mountain. When there are heavy rains and flash floods, you will still see white bones washed out.
Because of this, evil things continue to happen in the mountains.
Medicine farmers and hunters at the foot of the mountain often see will-o’-the-wisps floating around and evil spirits harming people.
I don’t know which dynasty or generation, a Huoju Taoist passed by Yan Crossing Mountain and noticed something evil in the mountain. So he went down the mountain and called on the wealthy and wealthy people around him to contribute money and build a Fire Cave Temple.
The statue of Zhu Rong is enshrined in it.
Use the god of fire to suppress evil things in the mountains.
Unfortunately, due to hundreds of years of wind and rain, the Huodong Temple has long since lost its incense and collapsed.
After Yanguoshan was occupied by Peng Laizi.
Those medicine farmers and hunters also dare not enter the mountains, so there have been fewer rumors of evil spirits harming people in recent years.
However.
Chen Yulou knew that Peng Laizi had been frightened a lot these years when he became the king of Zhanshan.
I asked Taoists and monks to recite sutras, and I went to Chenzhou to ask for talismans and stick them on the door.
It made people panic.
This is also the reason why Chen Yulou came here.
There are many weird places in Xiangyin, there are several mass graves outside the city, but this is the first one as evil as a wild goose crossing the mountain.
Want to try the power of the Evil-Breaking Talisman.
Huodong Temple is naturally the first choice.
The night is dark, except for the faint silver light above the head, the whole mountain is completely silent, and you can't even hear the chirping of insects and birds. Most people will probably get sick from fear when they come here.
But Chen Yulou looked calm and showed no signs of nervousness.
In order not to disturb the evil spirits in the mountain, he even gathered up a lot of spiritual power.
Only a ray of spiritual consciousness was left, looking around.
Looked around casually.
Seeing the darkness in the mountains, he originally planned to look for Peng Laizi's residence, but the moment he approached the ruined temple that was already extremely desolate, he suddenly let out a soft sigh.
Deep in the Fire Cave Temple shrouded in divine consciousness.
A dark mist was clearly moving around.
Feel the evil spirit in the mist.
Even Chen Yulou couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes.
“It’s really hard to find a place even though you have worn iron shoes, and it takes no effort to find it.”
