Chapter 133: One Arrow and Two Talismans
A pot of tea and a plate of peanuts. There are no taverns in the Great Wall. Li Xiuyuan and Gui Guzi drank tea while inscribing runes.
Li Xiuyuan said that this means that work and life are not delayed.
Guiguzi no longer just leaned on the chair to rest his mind these days. Instead, he held the inscription knife and carefully felt the strength of each sword strike. From two talisman arrows a day to three.
The hot tea on the table was replaced by hot and then cold, and the plate of peanuts was replaced three times, but Li Xiuyuan showed no sign of getting up.
"Xiuyuan, what kind of runes have you been pondering these days? You look so distracted?" Guiguzi looked at him and asked calmly.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and replied: "Fixing Talisman."
"The immobilization talisman?...What does it have to do with the previous talisman and arrow? Does it also have an effect on the desolate people outside the Great Wall?"
Guiguzi put down the inscription knife in his hand, took a sip of herbal tea, looked at him and asked.
Li Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, showed a strange smile, and said seriously: "I don't know either. You have to try it on the battlefield to find out, right?"
Gui Mingzi looked into his eyes and knew he was joking. He shook his head and said, "You plan to deliver two different kinds of talisman arrows? Are you in time?"
"Teacher, I found that the holding talisman is relatively simple, and the speed of engraving the runes is much faster."
Li Xiuyuan laughed and replied: "I found a way to deal with my talisman arrows from the barbarians, so I have to think of a backup method, otherwise I will not be able to deal with this centurion made by General Li Zai."
After saying this, he put down the thick book in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the inscription knife from the table, and picked up an iron arrow and held it in his hand.
"It seems that you have really put a lot of thought into the runes." Guiguzi looked at him and said.
Li Xiuyuan's hand holding the knife was as steady as a rock. As he moved it gently, iron powder slowly fell from his feet. It is said that the rune master cannot focus on two things when inscribing runes.
But at this moment Li Xiuyuan looked at the master and said with a smile: "Don't let the explosive talisman arrow escape until the last moment. This immobilization talisman arrow can be regarded as a perfect match for the flame talisman arrow.
"I will speed up a bit and try to save more talisman arrows when Xia Lai comes." Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said: "At that time, I can quietly go to Ding'an City. The teacher can continue to work hard slowly.
"
Gui Guzi thought about it. As long as he had a certain amount of inventory, he wouldn't be afraid of Li Dongmubai coming to trouble the master and apprentice.
After thinking for a while, he said: "If you leave a few hundred talisman arrows, even if you go quietly to the wilderness, I will have a reason to explain to them, don't worry."
Li Xiuyuan did not reply and was thinking silently. Gui Guzi frowned and said: "Since the holding talisman is simple, why not try to engrave the holding talisman and the flame talisman on an arrow? Such power..."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he sighed helplessly and thought, Teacher, do you want to be so cruel?
After a while, he said: "Okay, I'll try it now..." Guiguzi just said casually, and he had to re-plan the layout of the runes and the strength of the inscription.
If it is too shallow, the effect will not be good, if it is too deep, he is worried that the arrow shaft will not be able to bear it. After all, this is an improved product, not the iron arrow he cast himself.
This is too demanding for those who inscribe talisman arrows, and even Gui Guzi at the moment cannot do it.
Guiguzi looked at him and smiled, waving his hand and saying, "Don't be too serious. If it doesn't work, forget it. They don't know how to survive yet, and no one dares to force you."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and focused all his attention on the iron arrow he held in his heart. Just as Gui Guzi said, if a talisman arrow has two completely different effects, it will make it difficult for the opponent to guard against it.
Among thousands of armies, how can you guard against my talisman arrow that pierces through the clouds and fog?
My talisman arrow has immobilized you, who will block the blazing talisman fire for you at the next moment?
I won't even give you a chance to cut off a strong man's arm, so where can you hide?
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan unknowingly used the power of the Eye of Deception to condense the yin and yang power in his body on this small talisman arrow.
Since it is an arrow with two talismans, the immobilization talisman must be engraved on the front end of the talisman arrow. When it hits the opponent, the immobilization talisman will take effect first, and then the flame rune will start to burn...
I sleep in spring without waking up, and mosquito bites are everywhere.
Unknowingly, it had taken Li Xiuyuan two hours to carve the talisman arrow in his hand, which was almost as long as the time it took him to carve the talisman arrow for the first time.
After carving the last stroke and putting down the inscription knife in his hand, Li Xiuyuan took a long breath, looked at Guiguzi and said with a smile: "Teacher, take a look."
Guiguzi trembled, took the talisman arrow from his hand, and murmured: "Is this one arrow and two talismans? You succeeded in one go? This... this is incredible."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and laughed, pointing to his eyes and said: "I have a unique pair of eyes. They help me accomplish things that others cannot do."
Guiguzi did not speak, but gently touched every rune on the iron arrow, feeling a faint trace of the power of heaven and earth.
I am afraid that I would never be able to learn such two talismans with one arrow at the threshold of becoming a divine talisman master. I never thought that my disciple could already do it at the age of fourteen.
If you were hit by such a rune arrow, as long as the immobilization rune was functioning, you would probably lose a layer of skin even if you didn't die.
Thinking of this, even Gui Guzi couldn't help but feel cold sweat on his back.
...
There is no sun or moon in the cave, and the spring breeze blows from the small courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiuyuan and his master and apprentice Gui Guzi had been busy in the small courtyard for nearly two months. They had more than a thousand flame talisman arrows. Even the one-arrow double talisman that Li Xiuyuan later figured out also had more than 200 engraved on it.
Li Xiuyuan left a hundred arrows each, looked at Gui Guzi and said, "Don't hand over the double talisman's arrows yet. Give half of the flame talisman arrows. Anyway, there has been no war in the past two months."
Guiguzi looked at him and asked: "Do you want to go to the Qinglong Army to select a hundred monks to be your subordinates?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, shook his head and said with a smile: "How old I am, if I tell people, people will laugh at me...Forget it, I will keep this brand, so people won't choose."
Guiguzi thought for a while and replied: "You must be too. Given your current state and age, I'm afraid not many monks here will obey you. Now that you have an official position, you can go anytime..."
While he was talking, Li Guangming's voice came from outside the small courtyard: "Li Xiuyuan, come out quickly, the wild wilderness is attacking again."
Before he finished speaking, Li Guangming, dressed in armor, burst in with a fierce wind. There were two monks behind him.
Guiguzi thought for a moment, then took five hundred talisman arrows and handed them to Li Guangming according to Li Xiuyuan's words. He looked at him and said quietly: "This is not your first time fighting against the deserted people. Why are you so anxious?"
Li Shaoming put away the talisman arrows, took Li Xiuyuan's hand and walked out. He turned back and said to Gui Guzi: "The general asked me to take Li Xiuyuan over to have a look, because I'm afraid they might do something underhanded."
Guiguzi looked at the two people walking out and muttered in his heart: "Playing dirty tricks? It would be great if this kid doesn't play dirty tricks!"
Under the leadership of Li Guangming, the group hurried to the battlefield.
At this moment, outside the Great Wall, the barbarian warriors put on new armor. Each barbarian man was surrounded by dozens of barbarian warriors holding shields to guard against the talisman arrows on the Great Wall.
Tens of thousands of barbaric warriors and dozens of barren people launched an attack on the Great Wall, and the shouts were earth-shattering. Because of the protection of the barbarian warriors, the barren people were no longer intimidated by talisman arrows, which made them more courageous.
.
The battle had begun. The monks from both sides were fighting together in an instant. The deserters also launched an attack under the protection of the soldiers. The pressure on the four legions suddenly increased.
Li Xiuyuan, who was running all the way and standing on the city wall, looked at the bloody battlefield and felt a flame burning in his heart.
"My iron bow is too weak, who has a better iron bow!" Li Xiuyuan looked at Li Guangming and shouted loudly.
"I have it!" Li Mubai's voice came from behind Li Xiuyuan, and then a black iron bow appeared in front of Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan didn't say much, he just took the iron bow and felt it was heavy and had a breathtaking aura.
He took a deep breath, looked at the deserted man who was protected by a bunch of shields, and said coldly: "Can you guard against it?"
Holding the iron bow handed over by Li Mubai tightly, Li Xiuyuan took out a double-talisman iron arrow and placed it on the bowstring.
Li Xiuyuan, wearing a mask, gently closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a black and white spiritual energy shooting out, passing through the smoke and beacons on the battlefield, and locked onto one of the desolate men holding a big sword.
"Buzz!"
The iron arrow with one arrow and two talismans left the string, and the high-speed rotating talisman arrow was at an unprepared speed, like a bolt of lightning from the sky, ruthlessly heading towards the deserted man on the battlefield!
Li Xiuyuan on the city wall did not stop. He took another talisman arrow and used the same force to stretch Li Mubai's heavy iron bow into a full moon.
"Buzz!" sounded.
One after another, the talisman arrows that condensed the power of the yin and yang of heaven and earth did not follow the ordinary arrow speed, but rotated at high speed, flying towards the deserted man Li Xiuyuan was targeting at a strange speed.
You have a shield, I am not afraid! My iron arrows can penetrate your shield and dodge your body, and my talisman arrows can penetrate every hole.
Almost at the moment when the talisman arrow flew out of Li Xiuyuan's hand, the deserted people on the battlefield heard the sound of the arrow. They all subconsciously became nervous and stared intently at the talisman arrow coming from behind.
At the same time, the shield formation composed of dozens of wild warriors also heavily protected the wild people they were protecting, forming an impermeable protection formation.
Far away in the wilderness, there were wild generals and elders watching the battle, and they also saw the talisman arrows shot by Li Xiuyuan one after another.
"Don't use the tricks you've already played again!"
A black-robed general spoke coldly. He looked indifferent and waved the black flag in his hand. The signal came out and the wild warriors on the battlefield once again advanced towards the Great Wall.
However, the iron arrow shot by Li Xiuyuan was not blocked by the shield array in the hands of the wild warrior.
A black talisman arrow rotated at high speed and shot into the chest of a barbarian warrior holding a shield. In just an instant, it tore through the barbarian warrior's armor, passed through his chest, and shot into the chest of the barbarian warrior like steel again...
...
In an instant, the deserted man holding a giant long sword froze on the spot as if under a spell.
In the moment before dozens of wild warriors could react, a raging flame spread across the wild man's body and instantly pounced on the wild warriors surrounding him.
The power of one arrow and two talismans showed its power on the battlefield of the Great Wall for the first time!
"Boom!"
One after another, the barbarian men were struck by arrows and immobilized, and then their whole bodies burned with flames, and then the flames spread to the barbarian warriors in all directions.
Tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides witnessed this scene.
The wild black-robed general and a group of elders who were far away in the wilderness also saw this scene.
Li Mubai stood silent on the city wall, and Li Guangming was stunned and speechless for a long time.
The monks from the four legions counterattacked one after another when the wild warriors were distracted, and the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.
The situation of inevitable victory suddenly changed fundamentally. Without the protection of the deserters, the wild battlefield could no longer withstand the combined attack of the four legions.
Li Mubai gave the order to charge.
