On the Importance of Chinese Characters

'Word' is a very inclusive thing, as long as there are objects that can carry it, it can be everywhere. Zhuang Yunzhou has never thought of making paper before. The variety of source materials is wider than the earth.

Clouds, space, water... even a grain of sand, a piece of iron, are all source materials.

But now, the first-level source material has been destroyed, and if he doesn't want to be trapped in this place for a lifetime, he can only find another way. Paper is the only material Zhuang Yunzhou can think of that can be artificially synthesized, and it can definitely carry the source pattern.

Xuan Hei waved his sleeves, and a gap of light appeared from the void, and then suddenly expanded, forming a light gate that was big enough for two people to enter side by side.

The cool air that was different from the dull smell inside the tower was blown out from the door, and Zhuang Yunzhou even heard the long-lost crisp bird song. He and Fang Qiling looked at each other, and they walked in at the same time.

This is a strange space. The two stood in the void without any source of support, as if they were walking on the ground.

Under the feet of the two, the clouds slowly drifted by, and the nine-headed Danyun bird spread its wings and flew under the feet of the two, its long tail feathers swaying with the wind, drawing a beautiful arc.All kinds of strange beasts are galloping and jumping, husband and wife are rubbing each other's ears, enemies are fighting each other, and the biological chain is running perfectly here.

The most amazing thing is that in this space, various terrains are not arranged in any order. The plateau is connected to the basin, and there are glaciers next to the desert. All kinds of source materials are growing randomly. It is a complete library of source materials.

Zhuang Yunzhou carefully patrolled the sky. Although such a large place is very rich in source materials, it also greatly increases the difficulty of their search. What they are looking for is the generation of source materials destroyed by Xuanbai.

"Busu Tianzhu, Jingyang Wenxin Bamboo, Baidi Xiangye Tree, Jinnan Yuanzhi Tree..." Zhuang Yunzhou quickly reported a series of source material names, and outlined their appearances in the air with source power for Fang Qiling to see, "We are looking for Of any of these sources, bamboo is the best, if not, other materials are also acceptable.”

In addition, he also needs to make a source tool for the word 'water', a tool for the character 'fire' and a tool for the character 'earth', these source materials cannot be spared, and... Zhuang Yunzhou's mind moved, his body suddenly fell, It landed directly on a high plateau mountain. Except for the low alpine grasses on the top of the mountain, there are huge boulders everywhere.

Fang Qiling glanced at him, then went to the side area, it would be faster for the two to move separately.

Zhuang Yunzhou carefully identified the stone materials and found many stone sources with rich sources of power. After doing this, he jumped from the height and landed in the dense forest beside him.

This forest has high humidity and moderate temperature, which is more suitable for the growth of bamboo. In fact, the most ideal material in his mind is bamboo.As a student of the Department of Archeology, he has seen many ancient documents, one of which records how the ancients made paper, which described in detail the five steps of using bamboo to make paper: cutting bamboo drift ponds, cooking 楻足火, Swing the material into the curtain, cover the curtain and press the paper, and dry it through fire.

Among the source materials of the first generation, there are not many bamboos.Zhuang Yunzhou told Fang Qiling just in case.

As the time passed, Zhuang Yunzhou traveled to many places and saw some destroyed first-generation source materials, the Buddha fruit flower that was split in half, the Kundi spar that was crushed into powder, and the polluted Tianyuan treasure spring. ...But he had never seen Busu Tianzhu and Jingyang Wenxinzhu, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.

It has been three hours since the opening of the Tianmen, and there is only one day and nine hours left until the passage of the Xuanhei Pagoda is closed. Under the conservative situation, he needs to leave a day and a half for himself to expand the source. Now, There are only three hours left to make the source materials.

Three hours... Zhuang Yunzhou clenched his fists.

"Yunzhou, I found the Busu Tianzhu!" Just when he was in a hurry, Fang Qiling's shout resounded throughout the whole world, startling the birds.

Zhuang Yunzhou's eyes instantly burst into a strong look, and a joyful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Busu Tianzhu, the source material of the first-level wind system, this is the most ideal material he expected!

Xuan Hei sat not far from the opened Tianmen, drinking alone with a teacup in his eyes, looking in the direction of Tianmen from time to time.As time passed bit by bit, the shock that Zhuang Yunzhou really persisted in the nihilistic world for ten years gradually calmed down. He has seen too many amazing and beautiful people in his life. One surprised him enough, but Xuan Hei still didn't think he could pass the last test.

Without source materials, all efforts are in vain, and the remaining time is too tight.

The light on the sky gate dimmed for a moment.

Xuan Hei was placed in the teacup, and Zhuang Yunzhou and Fang Qiling stepped out of it one after the other. Regardless of greetings, Zhuang Yunzhou immediately moved.

The Busu Tianzhu that Fang Qiling found was a small forest grown from a bamboo root. When he went there, the Tianzhu in that forest had been broken to pieces, and the roots had been pulled out. The loss of vitality was serious. Therefore, we must hurry up.

The fire, earth, and water source materials were still in the air by him. Under the situation that Zhuang Yunzhou only pursued speed but not quality, he turned into three seventh-level source materials in less than a stick of incense.

"Brother Fang, please trouble me to chop all the Heavenly Bamboos into five to seven inches long." Zhuang Yunzhou made a large stone pond with earth-type source tools while enlightening the other party, and then filled most of the pool with water-type source tools After thinking about it, I finally took out a bottle of secondary non-chemical spring from the storage bag and poured it in. "After splitting, soak all the bamboo in this stone pond."

Fang Qiling followed his advice.

"Senior Xuanhei, please speed up the stone pond after the Busutian bamboo is immersed in the pond." Zhuang Yunzhou bowed to Xuanhe again. If it is on the earth, bamboo needs to be soaked in water for a hundred days, but Busutian bamboo is a generation of source materials. Even if it is hard and extraordinary, even if you add a super corrosive spiritual thing like the non-huaquan, if you want to make it reach the desired level, a hundred days is definitely not enough.

Xuan Hei didn't understand what he was doing at all, and when faced with this request, he threw a photomask noncommittally.

In the mask, Busu Tianzhu is changing at a slow but recognizable speed.

Zhuang Yunzhou didn't bother to look at the pool, and with a movement of his divine sense, he took out the stone source material he had collected just now, quickly shook it into small pieces with the source force, and then used his hand holding the source tool of the word "fire" to force it , A cluster of flames burst out in an instant, rising into a raging fire, wrapping all the stones in it and calcining them.

"Senior Xuanhei, please speed up this area." Zhuang Yunzhou didn't have time to wait slowly. He would ask Xuanhei to take action for all steps that could be accelerated. This was also the original intention of his choice to make this request at that time.

This series of actions also gradually aroused Xuan Hei's curiosity. No one has ever done so many inexplicable things before.Xuan Hei waved his sleeves, and another mask covered the fire.

Zhuang Yunzhou focused on the stones inside the mask.What he wants to calcine is lime. On the earth, lime can be obtained by calcination of natural rocks. Generally speaking, the temperature required is between 1000 degrees and 1100 degrees. However, the stone source materials in Tianze Realm are not ordinary rocks. Just to be on the safe side , Zhuang Yunzhou directly used the source tool to increase the flame temperature by five times.

Under the light that accelerated time, the small pieces of lime changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon turned into gray lumps.

Ask Xuanhei to remove the mask, Zhuang Yunzhou smashed the limestone into powder with one palm.The light of the earth element source tool flashed, and a large stone pot appeared on the spot. After Zhuang Yunzhou filled it with water, he came to the pool soaked with Busu Tianzhu.

At this time, an hour has passed, and there are still one day and eight hours left before the passage is closed.

Looking at the changed color of the Busu Tianzhu, Zhuang Yunzhou asked Xuan Hei to remove the mask, fished them up with Yuanli on his hand, and made another pool to keep the bamboo in: "Brother Fang, please come with me Pound and wash to wash off the husk."

Fang Qiling didn't say anything, just followed suit.

What they have to do now is to soften the main material, wash away the unnecessary parts, leaving only the wood fibers.This step is not complicated in the book, but when Zhuang Yunzhou actually did it, he discovered the difficulty.

After all, Busu Tianzhu is not an ordinary source material. Although it has been soaked in Buhuaquan for a long time, it is still very laborious to wash and remove the shell.In this step, because it is necessary to confirm the state of the source material with eyes, Xuan Hei cannot be accelerated.

Therefore, in Zhuang Yunzhou's plan, he reserved half an hour.He originally thought that with the power of two origin masters, it would be enough to wash this step for half an hour.

However, Zhuang Yunzhou underestimated the tenacity of the primary source material after all.

Despite his impatience, he also understands that this step is the most critical step, if this step is not done well, everything that follows will be ruined.So he could only force himself to calm down, beat and rubbed Busu Tianzhu repeatedly, and when the last piece of skin fell off the bamboo, Zhuang Yunzhou forgot to glance at the timer in the corner, and his heart sank.

This step alone took a full two hours, completely spending the remaining time Zhuang Yunzhou left for papermaking.

Now, there is only one and a half days left before the closure of the pagoda passage.

One and a half days is the fastest time Zhuang Yunzhou expects to be able to complete the first-level Yuanbao extension, that is to say, he has to start rubbing from now on.And this, both Xuan Hei and Fang Qiling knew.

Xuan Hei sighed, looking at Zhuang Yunzhou with regret in his eyes: "There is not enough time." No matter what he wanted to do, it was already too late.

Zhuang Yunzhou is also clearly aware of this. He has only completed the first step of the five steps of papermaking.It can be inferred from the first step that the cooking time of the second part must have been much longer than expected. If this continues, even if he completes the papermaking technique, he will not be able to complete the extension before the passage is closed this time.

Thinking of this, his heart sank, he pursed his lips, and his brain worked desperately, trying to solve this deadlock. For a while, the whole space became quiet.

Fang Qiling stopped what he was doing and looked at Zhuang Yunzhou worriedly.

After a while, Zhuang Yunzhou raised his eyes, his black eyes were shining with perseverance, as if he didn't notice anything, the other party Qi Ling nodded: "Let's continue."

After finishing speaking, he got up and threw the softened Busu Tianzhu and the calcined lime into the stone pot together. The flames surrounded the stone pot, and asked Xuan Hei to take action again: "Senior, please speed up for this pot."

The acceleration of this step does not take such a long time. After a few breaths, Zhuang Yunzhou took out the Busu Tianzhu and put another basin of clean water for rinsing. This time, he did not ask Fang Qiling to help, but put the fire element The source tool was thrown to him: "I will ask Brother Fang to help cook the fire later."

Fang Qiling naturally responded.

Standing by the pool, Zhuang Yunzhou took a breath, and slowly put his hand into the pool.

Xuyuan power emerged from his hands, and slowly penetrated into the Busu Tianzhu every time he scrubbed, adjusting the energy block of the Tianzhu little by little.Fang Qiling, who couldn't see Xuyuan's power, didn't know what he was doing, but Xuan Hei stood up slowly from the futon, his brows were tightly frowned, and he fell into doubt.

This son is actually blurring these waste source materials!
