Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 18 Snake Bone Bow, Wolf Fang Pendant

After choosing the location of the temple, everyone was in no hurry to return to the village. Zhao Zhen directed everyone to measure the size of the top of the mountain and mark the locations of the trees on the paper.

After a few days, I returned to the main world, asked someone to design the drawings, and then built it.

Riding on the moonlight, everyone returned to the village on horseback, talking and laughing. Zhao Yuanli prepared a banquet early.

Unavoidably, they pushed cups and changed cups, drank until late at night, and then everyone went to have a rest.

During the day, Zhao Zhen took advantage of the coolness in the morning and evening to practice martial arts with the three heroes and visited several construction sites in turn. At night, he kept having banquets with Guang Hui, Jiao Ting and Han Bolong. The four of them became closer and closer.

Two days later, Zhao Zhen saw that Jiao Ting only had a few old clothes, and they took turns replacing them. Three bolts of ramie cloth and three bolts of satin were about to come out, and the needleworkers were summoned, and they immediately made four new outfits according to their measurements.

The three-chip hero originally wanted to show off his abilities, but seeing that Zhao Zhen respected him very much, he became even more attentive to his work.

On this day, after Guanghui and others finished practicing martial arts, they met to go to Gangzi in the north. But he was very quiet and thought about movement, and he was happy to see the hunter. I have seen many pheasants and hares in Gangzi, and I want to go hunting.

Zhao Zhen found it too hot and declined. Zhao Zhen had never seen three people practicing bows and arrows, and he didn't know how much they could gain. After Guang Hui left, Zhao Zhen asked Zhuang Ding to bring a chair and enjoy the shade under the willow tree in the east courtyard.

While thinking about how to develop, Zhao Yuanli introduced Li Gujin to come.

Li Gu held several things in his hand and handed them over one by one. Two snake bone bows, two snake bones and a wolf fang pendant.

"How powerful is the bow? Can it be weighed?" Zhao Zhen took it and asked.

world log
  Snake bone bow (made from the ribs of a level 3 green anaconda, stringed with beef tendon, less than 5 feet long)
  Characteristic 1: Bow for cavalry archery, short bow, good for cavalry archery

Feature 2: Far reach, range 60 steps.

"Cuiweibei Zhenglu" records: There are six out of thirty weapons, and the bow is the first. There are eight out of ten martial arts skills, but the bow is the first. Step-shooting bow: All the armies use one Shuo and one bucket, one Shuo, one bucket and one Shuo, which are all useless. Nine, eight, and seven buckets are used together; horses shoot bows: all armies use one, nine, and nine buckets, which are all useless. Suitable for eight buckets, seven buckets, and six buckets.

Therefore, the bow needs to be tested to see if it is suitable for use. Neither small nor large strength can be used as a weapon to equip an army. Those with weak strength can use it as a hunting bow, while those with strong strength need to be paired with a strongman to use it.

"Tiangong Kaiwu" says: When making a bow, the strength of human power is regarded as the priority. The upper force can pull one hundred and twenty kilograms. If it exceeds this, it will be the force of a tiger, and there is no way to count it. The middle strength is reduced by 23/10, and the lower strength is reduced by half.

"I haven't tested it yet." Li Gu returned.

Zhao Zhen immediately asked Zhao Yuanli to get the scale and test it.

First put the string down, the bow body upward, hook the scale hook on the bow body, hang the scale on the wooden pole carried by two villagers, step on the bow string until the string is full, move the scale hammer, and the place where it is hung will be strong. size. Both bows were tested and both were six-doubled bows.

Zhao Zhen asked again: "If an apprentice does it, can it be done?"

"Master, this bow is different from the ancient one. "Dong Guan Kao Gong Ji Bowman" records: Bows are made of bows, and the six materials must be taken at the right time. When the six materials are gathered together, the skillful one can combine them. For everything that is a bow, Dong's analysis When it is dry, the spring liquid angle will cure the tendons in summer, and the three materials will be combined in autumn. The cold will lay down the body, and the ice will separate the heat. In winter, dryness will be easy, and the spring liquid angle will be combined. In summer, the tendons will be cured, and in autumn, the three materials will be combined. Cold When the body is laid, the opening will not flow, when the ice is broken, the ring will be judged, and when the spring quilt is stringed, it will be a year. The bow of the year is like a moon arrow. To make this bow, it must be made by a bow maker."

"Snake bone bow, the power of the bow depends entirely on the strength of snake bones and beef tendons. Therefore, apprentices can also complete it. The handle of the bow body can be polished smoothly without damaging the bow body. There are not many bow strings in Jiao Village, so you need to purchase them." "Very good, very good." Zhao Zhen praised them endlessly and looked at the two snake bones again.

  Green anaconda snake bone (second-level material)

Gathering the essence of heaven and earth and gathering the spiritual energy of the sun and moon to form this bone, it has tenacity +1.

Li Gu said: "Master, I have looked at the snake bones, but these two bones are different from the others. They are twice as heavy and have become foreign objects. Although I can make a bow, I am afraid that I cannot make a treasure bow. If the owner of the village, It is safest to find a bow maker."

Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement and asked Zhao Yuanli to receive it in the warehouse first and put it together with the bluestone. Finally pick up the Wolf Fang Pendant.

Wolf fang pendant (treasure, the upper part is called Cangfeng, the lower part is called Batian. The teeth of Cangfeng are strong and sharp, with bloody horizontal stripes on the tips, decorated with silver. The teeth of the Wolf King command the pack of wolves)

Effect 1: Bravery, strength +1.

Effect 2: Ward off evil spirits, spirit +1.
  Effect 3: Awe-inspiring, wolf's sharp teeth, engraved with animal patterns, intimidating, easy to attract canine creatures to take action.

After Zhao Zhen saw it, he became even more happy. He put it on his neck and said to Li Gu: "Old Master Li, your craftsmanship is really superb. I wonder if you have recruited apprentices?"

"More than ten young men with tied hair have arrived. They are still learning to identify their talents and are familiar with the tools. In three to five days, they can start polishing the bone bow."

"Very good. Please take care of Mr. Li in the bone-making workshop. From now on, you will be in charge of the workshop."

"Many thanks to the owner of the village. I will definitely try my best. Hey, I have contracted pneumoconiosis and have no food and clothing. I wanted to come here to make a living, but I didn't expect that the owner of the village would value me so much. I am willing to do my best and pass on all my skills. I also want to make a living here." The workshop can produce some products soon." After saying this, he burst into tears. Under the excitement, he couldn't help but cough again and was out of breath.

Zhao Zhen stepped forward and stroked his back, which relieved him slightly. He told him not to be anxious, to train apprentices step by step, and to start the business slowly. After Li Gu calmed down a little, Zhao Zhen said: "I have nothing to do today, so I just went to the workshop to have a look."

The three of them pushed the door open and entered, seeing the young men divided into two groups, each holding a snake bone and playing with it. Seeing Li Gu bringing Zhao Zhen in, all the apprentices put down the snake bones, got up and said hello to Zhao Zhen first, and then saluted Li Gu. Li Gu pointed to the two apprentices in front and said: "These two have the best sense of bones. They were the ones who noticed the two mutated snake bones. They are now the apprentice foremen, and they are in charge of five people each."

  Tang Shu (son of steward Tang Sen), Ding Yi (son of steward Ding Chou)

Bone Carving Apprentice
  The two people did behave more decently than others, and they finally had some family connections.

Why do you think the steward's son is willing to be an apprentice? You should know that craftsmen are much better than farmers. The income of craftsmen is always better than that of farmers, their status is higher, and their work is much easier.

This is the first time Xixi Village has recruited apprentices since its establishment. The villagers do all the tinkering and knocking by themselves. As soon as the recruitment news was released, teenagers of fifteen or sixteen, accompanied by their parents, flocked to the place. After selection, these 12 teenagers were left.

Zhao Zhen encouraged the apprentices and allowed them to learn skills with peace of mind. During the apprenticeship period, depending on the performance, he would be paid monthly wages ranging from 100 to 200 Wen. After becoming a master, he was hired by the village's workshop, and was graded and paid according to the quality of his craftsmanship.

After looking at the finished workshop, Zhao Zhen, accompanied by Zhao Yuanli, went to see the renovation of the tavern. Two adjacent small courtyards were opened, and Brother Yun and several farmers were cleaning it up. The houses are all ready-made, you can modify them and they will be ready for business in three to five days.
