"Good, good, good...... Sure enough, it's very vivid!" Gao Tao applauded.

"Good name, good name...... Yi! The wind of the feather is full of energy, and the warrior is enough to bear this name. Qi nodded his head.

"Exactly ......"

The crown prince Zhu Dan and other ministers of civil and military affairs also nodded and applauded, praising the warrior for being worthy of this mighty name.

Hou Yi got up and left his seat, knelt down on his left knee and thanked: "Emperor Xie gave him a name." ”

"Well, the warrior shoots the three demons and eliminates the harm for the people, I not only want to give the warrior the name of 'Yi', but also make the warrior the first archer in the world and shoot for me. Emperor Yao continued.

"Thank you Emperor Longen, the villain is terrified. Hou Yi bowed his head and arched.

"Yi: You don't have to be so polite, I heard that you once shot an arrow at the sky, and the arrow flew back to your door two days later...... I want to toast you with another bowl of wine. Emperor Yao said affectionately.

"Emperor: The villain has already eaten dozens of bowls of wine, and I'm afraid he will get drunk if he eats it again. ”

"Yi, you don't have to refuse, I have also heard that you eat a lot of food, you ate empty at the age of five, and you can eat even a tiger when you are twelve or thirteen, can you still be stumped by a bowl of wine?"

"The villain eats a lot, but he can't eat a lot of this fruit wine, and if he gets drunk, I'm afraid it won't look good. ”

"Nothing to do...... Eat only this bowl of wine, I have another great thing to ask you to do, as long as this great thing is done, I will grant you the land, and make you a prince. "Emperor Yao said that he ordered the attendants to add wine and present it.

Hou Yi was drunk and hazy, held the pottery cup with both hands, and said sincerely: "The Emperor: The villain once had drunk fruit wine, and he had a drunken nature, and he offended the mountain god for a while, and no one has taught me archery since then, and I regret it so far. ”

Where the words fell, Hou Yi held the pottery cup with both hands, raised his neck, made a "grunt" sound, swallowed the fruit wine in one gulp, and then dropped the pottery bowl and said: "The emperor: The wine has been eaten, please ask the emperor to give orders if there is anything." ”

"Good, good...... Yi, you're really refreshing!" Emperor Yao also finished his wine and said, "I won't beat around the bush, you can go out with me first." ”

After that, Emperor Yao got up and strode straight out of the thatched tent hall.

Hou Yi and all the civil and military ministers rushed out, and they all stood under the canopy of the main hall for a while.

But see: the ten rounds of poisonous sun hang high in the sky, and the eyes are vast and white; the mountains and seas have dried up in many places, the trees are scorched, and the crops are dead; the fields are white and shining, cracked and horizontal, and stretching endlessly; and the people who occasionally lie down under some huge scorched trees to escape the poisonous sun are struggling to breathe, as if they are struggling on the edge of death.

Emperor Yao looked at this scene, sadness came from it, and pointed to the sky and said: "It has been more than a month since the ten days of Qi Qi, and the mountains and seas are full of living beings." Yi, you are infinitely powerful and invincible, can you shoot down those ten days for me and eliminate the harm for the common people in the world!"

Hou Yi gritted his teeth and said: "The villain has long wanted to shoot for ten days! I also tried before shooting the three demons, but the elasticity of the giant bow is insufficient, and if you pull it, it will break; ”

"You don't have to worry, before I summoned you, I adopted the suggestion of the witch clan's Xienu, and built a Tong bow in the sacrificial furnace of Jingtian Peak, ready to ask a good shooter to shoot the sun on my behalf, but unfortunately the recruited warriors all died at the hands of the demon sun, but fortunately, this time you succeeded in killing the demon and returned triumphantly, and my wish fell on your shoulders. Emperor Yao was relieved, "The method of building this sacrificial furnace is to refine the bow with the virgin blood of seven hundred girls, and the qi arrows of seven hundred girls have been refined for five hundred days, and after only seven hundred and forty-nine days, the Tong bow can be completed, and then I will give it to you and shoot the sun on my behalf." ”

"Please rest assured, the emperor: if you have a divine bow and arrow in your hand, not to mention shooting for ten days, what is the difficulty of shooting through nine days!" Hou Yi clenched his fists and looked up at ten days, his pupils erupting with anger.

"Okay! I believe in your ability, after the fourteenth day, I will personally give you the Tong Gong Su Ji at Jingtian Peak, and shoot the sun on my behalf, now you just need to rest in the post house and take good care of your mental and physical strength. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, since there are still fourteen days, then the villain will not rest in the post house, the villain has been away from home for a while, and he is very concerned about his wife Chang'e at home, so he wants to take this opportunity to go home. Hou Yi saluted respectfully.

"Well, it's human nature to miss your family, but I forgot about it, it's my fault, so I won't force you to stay. Emperor Yao bowed slightly, "But now that the ten days are out together, there is no day and no night, in order to prevent you from delaying time, I will give you a pot of pods." ”

"What is a pod?" Hou Yi said inexplicably, "Why did the emperor give the villain a pot of pods?"

"Yi, you live in the wilderness, and you don't know anything: when the emperor succeeded to the throne, the great virtue influenced all things, and ten rui were born in one day, and this pod is one of the ten rui. Gaotao next to him suddenly answered, "This pod is a sacred grass between heaven and earth, not afraid of ten days of poisonous sun, you can calculate the days, from the beginning of the month to give birth to a pod, to the fifteenth o'clock to give birth to fifteen pods, and then from the sixteenth day to the end of the month to fall a pod, the end of the month; if the moon is small, the end will leave a pod, scorched but not falling." ”

"There is such a divine grass in the world?" Hou Yi opened his bronze eyes and was amazed.

"Well, it's not that I'm virtuous, it's really animism. Emperor Yao said modestly, "At the same time as I send you pods, I will also send you a few pieces of cloth, when I recruited you here, I saw that your wife Chang'e was also wearing very simple, and you took these fabrics back to buy her a few new clothes." ”

After that, Emperor Yao ordered two attendants to go to the palace to get a pot of viburnum and a few pieces of cloth.

The two attendants were ordered to go, and in a short time they had already returned to the canopy of the main hall, one holding a pot of viburnum in his hand, which had been covered with a simple wooden hole cover, and the other holding in his hand seven or eight horses of fine fabrics, all of which were chosen as gifts by Mrs. Sanyi, the wife of Emperor Yao.

Emperor Yao's finger hole cover in the pod said: "Yi, this pod happened to open one pod today, which means that it is the first day of the first month of this month, you must come back before it opens the fourteenth pod, don't delay the time." ”

"Please rest assured, the emperor has this pod to remind the villain, and the villain will never delay time. Hou Yi assured.

Emperor Yao bowed slightly, and then handed the pod and cloth to Hou Yi along with the rewarded Qian Bei.

Hou Yi's beloved white horse had already been led out of the stable by a guard, and the giant bow and blood quiver that shot the three demons were all hanging on the right side of the horse's back. He then asked two attendants to wrap the pods and the cloth money into two packages, and hung them on the left side of the horse's back.

After taking care of it properly, Hou Yi returned to his heart like an arrow, and he didn't want to stay for a moment longer.

After thanking the reward again, he took the reins and the whip, sat on the white horse, and then hurriedly saluted Emperor Yao and other ministers, and suddenly whipped the horse, and rushed away from the thatched tent hall, all the way to the hunting mountain in the land of the poor stone in his hometown.

Dongyi, the land of poor stones, and the southern foot of Hunting Mountain.

Hunting Mountain is a big mountain in the land of poor stones, the valley is deep and secluded, the water and grass are abundant, because Hou Yi met Chang'e in this hunting, and married under a laurel tree at the southern foothills, so the word "hunting" is named after this mountain. Originally, only two people lived in a cave at the southern foot of the mountain, living a primitive and simple life, and later many people admired Hou Yi's archery skills and prestige, and came to learn the arts, including the wandering Li people who hoped to get Hou Yi's protection, so the villages at the southern foot of Hunting Mountain arose, and gradually formed the scale of tribal settlement.

Hou Yi received a large number of disciples, about hundreds, among whom there was an apprentice named Feng Meng who was the most appreciated.

This Fengmeng is quite scheming, following Hou Yi and his wife, as slaves and servants, willingly, the purpose is naturally to do the best of Hou Yi's true inheritance and learn the world's best archery skills. Sure enough, the hard work paid off, after several years of painstaking learning, except for Hou Yi, Fengmeng's archery skills have been unbeatable.

Since the ten days together, the demons and demons have come out of the world, Hou Yi was recruited by Emperor Yao, all the apprentices have become lazy, and no longer practice arrows, and the people of Li have gone into the cave to avoid the poisonous sun, and the whole village has become a wasteland.

Time flies, and many days have passed in a blink of an eye, but there is still no return of Hou Yi.

Chang'e misses her husband very much every day, this day is a little longer, the miss is getting stronger and stronger, and the worry is getting heavier and heavier, although during the period there was also a witch Huang Granny divination, and got a good number, but after all, the husband has not returned for a long time, and he still can't rest assured.

On this day, Chang'e suddenly felt that her eyes were beating very hard, and her heart was particularly uneasy, so she couldn't help but walk to the cinnamon tree slope at the entrance of the village, looking into the distance, hoping to see the shadow of her husband Houyi's return on the winding village road.

This method of occupying the eyes has been said since ancient times, the so-called: early jump joy, noon jump wealth, late jump disaster.

Although there is no difference between morning and evening in the ten days, something must happen in this saccade has been very fulfilled since ancient times.

Sure enough, it is just like Chang'e's omen, and it is an auspicious omen!

After a meal, a white horse galloped in the distance, and the hooves of the yellow dust were rolling, covering the sky and the sun.

On horseback sat a burly and handsome man, controlling the reins and beating the horse, constantly shouting, it was Chang'e's husband Hou Yi who was looking forward to day and night - Hou Yi whipped all the way back on the way back, galloped wildly, and finally rushed back to his hometown to hunt mountains after a few days.

Chang'e suddenly caught a glimpse of the familiar figure, and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, wave her right hand, and call out loudly: "Ah Niu... I'm here...... I'm here ......."

"E'er, I'm back!" Hou Yi also caught a glimpse of Chang'e, shouting in response excitedly, while frequently beating the horse and galloping.
