53. Giant Sky Bow, the invention of the predecessor Da Sikong
Zhou Shu had a very tough attitude towards Zhang Chunlin. Firstly, after hearing that Zhang Chunlin was the former Great Sikong of the Great Xia Casting Army, he felt that Zhang Chunlin was not a good person. Secondly, he did it on purpose.
He still doesn't trust Zhang Chunlin. There are some things that he really won't tell Zhang Chunlin.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhou Shu is not afraid that Zhang Chunlin will disobey his orders. If he really dares to bring the official trick of bullying superiors and subordinates here, Zhou Shu will not mind giving him to the monster again. After leaving the cave, Zhou Shu flew in a direction at a speed consistent with Yao Qing's cultivation level.
After flying for dozens of miles, Zhou Shu noticed that the eyes observing him had disappeared. Zhou Shu then accelerated his speed and reached hundreds of miles away in an instant.
Zhang San is lying in the grass, his spiritual energy fluctuations have been suppressed to a minimum. Even if a monster passes by nearby, if it is not possible to detect, he should not be found.
This skill was also developed by Zhang San when he was a scout in the Ten Kingdoms Continent. This skill has saved his life many times.
Zhang San has been waiting here for several days, but has not yet waited for Zhou Shu.
Fortunately, he has always been very patient. He was just wondering, why does the prince like him?
What exactly is the magic weapon that the prince wants to give him? Could it be the legendary innate magic weapon?
Although he knew that he was wishful thinking, he still couldn't control the thoughts in his mind.
Thinking deeply about it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
"What are you thinking and why are you shaking your head?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear.
Zhang San was startled, jumped up suddenly, and subconsciously drew his bow.
"Your Majesty!"
After seeing the person behind him, Zhang San breathed a sigh of relief and put down the bow in his hand.
"Well hidden."
Zhou Shu nodded and said with admiration, "Try this bow and see if it works."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhang San was a little excited, but he still bowed to Zhou Shu first, and then stretched out his hand to take the bow.
Taking the long bow, his arm sank slightly. This bow is so heavy!
"Buzz——"
Zhang San shook his arm and made a bow-opening movement, but the long bow was only opened halfway!
Zhang San does not believe in evil. With his cultivation, he can draw even the strongest bow!
Encouraging Ling Yuan, he tried again, but it was still only half open.
"It hasn't recognized its owner yet, and it can only be opened half way at most."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "If you can open it halfway, you are already very good."
"I will tell you a way, you can refine this bow."
Zhou Shu told Zhang San the method of refining the innate magic weapon. Zhang San's face was full of surprise. He followed Zhou Shu's instructions and began to refine the long bow.
Zhou Shu dispersed his consciousness and personally protected him.
After a moment, the long bow flowed from the pores of Zhang Sanxuan's body into his meridians like running water.
Zhang San let out a painful groan, and then the spiritual energy in his body began to boil, and a thumping sound came from his body.
"Bang——"
A mist of blood spurted out from the pores on his body, and he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of reverse blood. At this moment, his aura began to surge.
Zhou Shu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and raised his hand to suppress the movement of his cultivation breakthrough.
After more than an hour, the aura on Zhang San's body gradually stabilized.
"Prince——"
Zhang San opened his eyes, and a gleam of substance flashed in his eyes. He said with some surprise, and the next moment, he knelt down on one knee towards Zhou Shu, with a grateful look on his face.
"Get up."
Zhou Shu said, "Just don't scold me later."
"How is that possible!"
Zhang San said sternly, "Your Majesty has been kind to me, and I will never be disrespectful to you! Even if you, Your Majesty, take my life, Zhang San, I will never complain at all!"
"Your name is Zhang San?"
Zhou Shu looked at the young man in front of him and said with a smile, "What a good name."
"Okay, let's get down to business. My giant sky bow is not so easy to hold."
Zhou Shu continued.
"My lord, what do you want me to do?"
Zhang San said with a serious expression, "I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
He is now very sure that the giant sky bow given to him by the prince is the legendary innate magic weapon!
Those are innate divine weapons. It is said that in the weapon list of Tianji Villa, the number of innate divine weapons is less than one palm.
Then this giant sky bow is one of the only innate weapons in the world.
The prince gave me such a valuable weapon. Such a great kindness cannot be repaid even by death!
There is only one thing in Zhang San's mind now, that is, the prince treats me as a national scholar, and I will repay him as a national scholar!
"I am now lurking inside the monster to do some important things, and I need someone to cooperate with me."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "You are good at bows and arrows and can snipe from a long distance. You are the best person."
"Originally, your cultivation level is a bit weak, but the giant sky bow can more or less make up for it."
Zhou Shu continued.
Zhang San listened to Zhou Shu's words with concentration, only to hear Zhou Shu say, "From today on, I want you to assassinate the great demon in the demon world."
"Assassinating the Great Demon?"
Zhang San was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully.
"That's right.
Zhou Shu said, "This mission is very dangerous. With the great demon's cultivation, even if you shoot an arrow from dozens of miles away, they may not be able to catch up with you."
"If you are afraid of danger, you can refuse."
Zhou Shu looked at Zhang San and said.
Zhang San shook his head, "Your Majesty, I'm not afraid of danger, I'm worried that I won't be able to complete the task assigned by you, Your Majesty."
He smiled bitterly and said, "I know my own abilities well. Even with the innate magic weapons given by you, Your Majesty, with my cultivation level, it is impossible to hurt the big demon."
"I estimate that even if I were asked to assassinate a first-grade monster, the chance of success would be almost zero."
"I know."
Zhou Shu said.
"What if I say, I will let you die?"
"I'm going!"
Zhang San said decisively without hesitation.
Zhou Shu laughed, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't do me any good to let you die."
"I finally forged the giant sky bow, is it just to let you die?"
Zhou Shu continued, "You remember, the big demon I asked you to assassinate is named Yao Aotian."
"Yao Aotian?"
There was a look of thought on Zhang San's face.
He was a reliable subordinate and did not ask Zhou Shu who Yao Aotian was, what he looked like, and where he was.
These problems are what he needs to solve himself, not the prince helping him solve them.
But he didn't know that the real Yao Aotian was dead, and the current Yao Aotian was Yin Chengshan pretending to be.
"Your Majesty, I will take action now!"
Zhang San said seriously, "As long as I don't die, sooner or later I will bring Yao Aotian's head back!"
There is a firm light in Zhang San's eyes.
He comes from an ordinary background, and along the way, his current achievements are due to his tenacity.
Zhou Shu nodded, he did not tell Zhang Sanyao Aotian the truth.
If he really knew about it, there would be more or less traces in his acting.
Only if he takes action without knowing it, there will be no loopholes and he can hide it from those monsters.
"Remember, although assassinating the big demon is important, your life is more important. If you miss a hit, run away immediately. Do you understand?"
Zhou Shu added.
Zhang San nodded vigorously, feeling extremely grateful in his heart. Although he didn’t know what the prince’s intention was in arranging for him to do this, his last words were enough to show how much he valued me!
"Your Majesty, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Zhang San said seriously.
"I don't care, but I don't want you to let down Juque Tiangong."
Zhou Shu patted him on the shoulder and disappeared in a flash.
Zhang San looked at the sky for a long time before clenching his fists and quietly sneaking into the forest.
First, he must find a way to find out where the great demon Aotian is!
As for how to check, as a scout, there are naturally many ways, such as capturing a monster alive first...
When Zhou Shu returned to the cave where the Lingxiao Palace was built, he saw Zhang Chunlin sitting at the door of the cave, not knowing what he was doing.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Shu asked casually.
"Waiting for you."
Zhang Chunlin looked up at him and said seriously.
"Wait for me?"
"I think we should have a good talk."
Zhang Chunlin said seriously, "I know you don't trust me, so you hide many things."
"And I don't know why, I feel like you have some objections to me."
"Given your age, you should not have been born when I left Daxia. Even if you were born, you would still be ignorant. There should be no grudges between us."
Zhang Chunlin said in a deep voice, "I have carefully recalled that I have no enemies named Zhou, so it is not very likely that I have any enmity with your parents."
"You don't have to guess, I have no grudge against you."
Zhou Shu said calmly.
"Since there is no grudge, I think, at least now, you can trust me."
Zhang Chunlin said in a deep voice, "I can help you!"
"You are helping me now."
Zhou Shu looked at Zhang Chunlin and said, "As long as you complete the things I arranged, you will have helped me."
"Not enough."
Zhang Chunlin shook his head, "Although I don't know exactly what you want to do, I believe that you can't stay undercover here for five years."
"If we go according to our current progress, it will take at least five years to process all these weapons-making materials. During this period, once your identity is leaked, all your efforts will be wasted."
"So, please believe me." Zhang Chunlin's expression was very serious, "Tell me your true purpose, and we will find a solution together!"
"I, Zhang Chunlin, am a master of martial arts and a master craftsman of weapons. I was once the great Sikong of the Weapon Casting Department of Daxia! I ask myself, I still have some abilities!"
Zhou Shu looked at Zhang Chunlin with some surprise. His previous attitude towards Zhang Chunlin was not good, even a little bad. The main reason was that he felt that the decline of the Great Xia Casting Army had a lot to do with Zhang Chunlin, the former Great Sikong of the Great Xia Casting Army. p>
The Weapons Division turned into a sweatshop, maybe it has something to do with him.
Zhou Shu's city was not deep, and if he had opinions in his heart, he expressed them directly without bothering to pretend.
He did not expect that Zhang Chunlin, who had been treated so harshly by him, would reflect on himself so rationally and calmly. No wonder he had been a high official before, and he did have a certain way of doing things.
He also had a slight change in his view of Zhang Chunlin.
"It doesn't matter whether you know my purpose or not. What I want to do will not change at all."
Zhou Shu said, "If we can't increase the speed of smelting materials for casting weapons, we won't be able to solve my problem."
"If you have a way to solve this problem, then you can help me. Otherwise, if you have this time, you'd better deal with more weapons-making materials."
Zhou Shu's tone softened a bit, but he still didn't say too much.
Such is his character. Now he is not deliberately targeting Zhang Chunlin. Zhou Shu doesn't like to say anything to others until something is done.
What if it doesn’t succeed? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
"I have a way!"
Zhang Chunlin's words made Zhou Shu take back the steps he had just taken.
"Do you have any idea?"
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Zhang Chunlin looked around and after making sure that there were no monsters nearby, he continued, "To tell you the truth, when I was still in Daxia, I had been thinking about how to improve the efficiency of casting soldiers."
"I have always felt that the real art of forging weapons should not only be in the hands of the forging masters. I even feel that the art of forging weapons should not rely too much on people!"
"Is this why you don't regard the Weapon Apprentice as a human being?"
Zhou Shu suddenly interrupted.
Zhang Chunlin was stunned, "When did I stop treating the apprentice of a soldier as a human being?"
Zhou Shu didn't want to dwell on this issue and said, "You continue."
Zhang Chunlin frowned, but continued, "I think the Great Xia Weapon Casting Division relies too much on the forging division. That is not good. Anyone can do the forging of arms. Who can do it without the Great Xia Weapon Casting Division?"
Everything works——"
Zhou Shu finally understood that Chunlin really had some ideas, but when he implemented his ideas, he seemed to have gone astray.
The importance of the weapon-casting division has not been weakened, but the importance of the weapon-casting apprentices has been weakened. The Daxia Weapon-casting Division can function normally without any of the weapon-casting apprentices...
The result is that the replaceability of weapon-making apprentices has greatly increased, and it is not a pity to die from exhaustion...
It is said that Zhang Chunlin has been away from Daxia for twenty years. In the meantime, before Yin Wuyou took over, there should be other big Sikong. Maybe this blame is not Zhang Chunlin's.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shu's expression became softer and he made a continue gesture.
Zhang Chunlin continued, "So I have been thinking about this issue when I was in the Daxia Weapon Division. Later, I fell into the hands of a monster and was imprisoned in a dungeon."
"In order to prevent myself from going crazy, I have been thinking about this problem. Finally, God paid off and finally let me come up with a way!"
"There is no way to position the stars of imported weapons, but the processing of weapons-making materials can be completed without relying on people!"
Zhang Chunlin's face exuded a strange light, and he said slightly excitedly, "What makes our human race better than monsters and beasts is that we have brains and we can use foreign objects! According to my method, it is impossible to process these weapon-making materials.
