Chapter 4: Daily Tempering

"Young master, come on! It's the end. ”

"Young master, the sour plum I prepared for you is right ahead, come on!" Tie Zhu said loudly as he rode his horse.

On the side, five meters away, Zhang Mo ran hard with a dry mouth and a load on his back, but today's weather was too hot, he was already soaked, and he couldn't wait to take a bath in the waterhole immediately.

It's just that today's training program is not yet complete, and he must persevere. At this time, although Zhang Mo was a little tired, he ran all the way, and his lower limbs were not unstable. This is thanks to the unremitting efforts of Zamabu in the previous months, otherwise it is very easy to damage the muscles and veins of the lower limbs when running with weights.

"Uncle Tie, how did my weight increase today, how much did you increase it for me?" Zhang Mo obviously felt that the weight on his body had increased a lot compared to yesterday's.

Tie Zhu smiled, "Young master, the increase is not much, it's only five catties!"

The five catties in his mouth are not accurate, and he has the final say.

"Damn! Five catties is not much, are you trying to refine me to death?" Zhang Mo wanted to strangle him to death at this time, but he was not an opponent.

"Hehe, young master, you have refined the spirit stone given by your father and mother, and it is reasonable to add some ingredients to you today. Hurry up, your horse ate so well last night, you must run faster today!" said Tiezhu's leather whip and flung it towards Zhang Mo.

Naturally, Tie Zhu would not really be ruthless in pumping Zhang Mo, but Zhang Mo was whipped by a leather whip, and there must be a red willow on his body!

Although Zhang Mo was carrying a weight, he still dodged the whip like a monkey spirit at this time, and then continued to run towards the grass house.

Half an hour passed, and the five-kilometer weight-bearing training was finally completed.

There was a plate in front of the thatched hut, and there were some wild fruits from the mountains on the plate, but there were no sour plums.

"Uncle Tie, what about the sour plum, you actually lied to me!" Zhang Mo said a little depressed.

"Sorry for the sour plum, you had to run slowly just now, so I ate it first, so you can eat the rest of the mountain peaches!" Tie Zhu didn't care about Zhang Mo's angry eyes at all, and then took out his bow and arrows and said, "Young Master, you have a quarter of an hour to rest, and then we will start regular archery training." ”

Zhang Mo sighed, he really wanted to say that he didn't refine the spirit stone given by his father and mother at all last night, but at this time he still relied on his own will to insist. He wants to prove that he is no worse than anyone else, even without the assistance of spirit stones, he can still become a truly powerful warrior.

Time passed quickly, and a quarter of an hour passed in the mouth of the iron pillar, and the iron pillar said that the time was up, and a quarter of an hour had really arrived. Zhang Mo didn't have the right to choose, he knew that Uncle Tie was for his good, so he wouldn't really resent the other party.

"It's time! Young Master, take the bow and arrow. As he spoke, the iron pillar threw his bow and arrows away.

Zhang Mo took the bow and arrow, and then took the quiver, and the fixed target of the shooting range had been set up, a total of ten targets, the nearest target was thirty steps, and the farthest was three hundred steps.

Zhang Mo picked up an arrow, and then struggled to pull the bowstring.

Shout!

I saw that the first arrow shot out quickly, but the distance was reached, but it did not win the bid. The distance of thirty steps is about thirty meters, which shows that Zhang Mo's strength is also rapidly improving with the training of weights.

"Young master, be calm, be steady and ruthless!" Tie Zhu reminded.

Zhang Mo nodded, took a deep breath, and then shot the second arrow.

Shout!

I saw that after the arrow flew out of 30 meters, it flew close to the target.

"Yes, young master, if you work harder, you can hit the target!" Tie Zhu smiled slightly and encouraged.

He was a centurion in the army before, and he knew that he couldn't blindly reprimand the commander of the army, and sometimes encouragement could achieve unexpected results.

Zhang Mo is still young, and he has always been recognized as a waste by others before, but now when he heard Tiezhu's encouragement, his heart was even more firm in his previous beliefs. He drew his bow with an arrow again, then released his right hand.

Shout!

The third arrow flew towards the target, but this time it was worse than the second, and it missed the target again.

"Young master, don't be discouraged, today is your first lesson in archery, and it's normal for the bullseye to be inaccurate. ”

"If you want to hit the target, you must not only be stable and accurate, but also understand the influence of various environmental factors after the arrow flies out, such as before you missed the target, that is the reason for the change of wind direction, if you want to do a hundred steps through the Yang, you must adjust the direction of the arrow in real time to avoid being affected by the wind direction. ”

"Young Master has now refined his arm strength first, and after a hundred arrows, I will teach you how to distinguish the direction of the wind. After speaking, Tiezhu motioned to the other party to continue shooting.

Zhang Mo had no choice but to follow the instructions.

Woohoo......

After 50 arrows, Zhang Mo's arm was already numb, and he could shoot 30 meters at first, but the next arrow was less than 25 meters. After shooting a hundred arrows, Zhang Mo's arm felt like it had been scrapped, and he couldn't lift it at all.

Zhang Mo came to Tie Zhu a little dejected, and then put down his bow and arrows: "Uncle Tie, am I useless?"

Tie Zhu moved the wooden stool to Zhang Mo and responded, "Young Master, you are still young, and there are some things that you can't rush to come." I didn't think about whether you could hit the target before, and I didn't force you to shoot a hundred arrows, but although you didn't hit the target, you were very close to hitting the target. A hundred arrows may not seem like much, but it's not a lot, and at your age, many children are still playing in the shadow of their parents, and you have completed the task, which is amazing!"

"Take a break, and if you can still walk, you can go to the waterhole and take a bath. ”

Zhang Mo said: "I can still go, let's go take a shower first!"

After speaking, Zhang Mo walked towards the pool. The waterhole was about 500 meters away from the thatched hut, and he slowly moved his steps, and soon came to the waterhole. At this time, all the clothes on his body were soaked with sweat, so he simply took them off.

Poof!

Zhang Mo jumped into the pool, and suddenly the coolness of the spring water covered his whole body.

"Comfortable!" Zhang Mo couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and then drank a few sips of spring water by the way, and suddenly his body was no longer thirsty.

Perhaps he was so tired that he didn't want to leave the waterhole and let the spring water soak him. Zhang Mo quietly enjoyed this rare coolness, closed his eyes, and slowly relaxed.

Just as Zhang Mo was enjoying the coolness of the spring water, the slightest spiritual power in the spring water entered the meridians of his body along his pores, and he unconsciously saw that he was asleep.

I don't know how long it took for a voice to ring in his ears.

"Hey, young master, why are you asleep in the water? This spring water is too cold, be careful that your body can't stand it!" said the iron pillar and fished Zhang Mo out of the water.

Zhang Mo opened his eyes and saw that it was an iron pillar, and there was no trace of surprise.

"Uncle Tie, I'm sorry, I'm probably too tired and fell asleep before I knew it. Zhang Mo shook his body, and water stains kept falling.

"Young master, your clothes are all wet, so let them dry here! By the way, I'll tell you the key to archery. ”

"You see, there is a depression in the front end of this bow, and this is the fulcrum of the arrow. The bowstring is the trigger point of the arrow, there are many trigger points, which can be adapted to the situation, because our shooting target sometimes has one, sometimes there will be multiple, so how to allocate the trigger point of the bowstring is extremely important. ”

"The first is to shoot at a target, which can be divided into single shot or continuous shot, a single shot is an arrow hitting the target; continuous shooting is well understood, that is, several arrows are fired one after another, and then hit the same target. This requires the shooter to quickly find the trigger point and then shoot immediately. Before, you were shooting at a fixed target, but our target is usually moving, so we must learn to find the shooting angle quickly when shooting. ”

"The second is to shoot at different targets, the young master should know that when we hunted before, we rarely encountered lone animals, and if it was a herbivore, our single shot would not or rarely cause them to counterattack. If we encounter coyotes, we are very likely to be counterattacked by the wolves with a single shot, how to break the siege at this time? I believe that the young master knows very well that it would be best if we could shoot several wolves at the same time at this time. At this time, we not only need to shoot continuously, but also need to shoot at the same time. The stronger the young master's arm strength, the more arrows he can shoot at the same time. ”

"In the end, how to accurately shoot the target requires not only practice, but also learn to judge the direction of the wind. When our eyes are facing the north, the wind from the left side of the face is the west wind, the wind from the right face is the east wind, the north wind is blowing in the face, and the south wind is blowing in the back of the head. Depending on the direction of the wind, the angle of the arrow will also need to be adjusted so that the arrow can counteract the effect of the wind on the arrow while flying. Of course, in addition to the direction of the wind, the wind force will also affect the flight angle of the arrow, so the young master still needs to practice diligently to really master the essentials. ”

After speaking, Tiezhu gave Zhang Mo some archery demonstrations, his arrows can hit the bull's-eye within sixty steps, and it is difficult to hit the bull's-eye if the arrows are farther away. If his arm was intact, he might have been able to do better, but fate has made it too difficult to change his life.

Tie Zhu demonstrated how to shoot singlely, continuously, and simultaneously, and finally handed the bow and arrow to Zhang Mo, and then motioned him to try the effect.

Zhang Mo took the bow and arrow, but he still habitually pulled the bowstring with his right hand, and was immediately stopped by the iron pillar.

"Young master, archery can not only pull the bowstring with the right hand, but also pull the bowstring with the left hand, and even pull the bowstring with the foot, an excellent archer should not be rigid in the subtleties, and achieving the goal is the ultimate goal. After speaking, the iron pillar demonstrated that he used his feet to pull the bowstring, and then the arrow flew out, and the moment the arrow hit the bull's-eye, Zhang Mo suddenly understood that what the other party said was completely correct.

When the bow and arrow returned to Zhang Mo's hand again, while thinking about Uncle Tie's words, he opened the bow with his left hand and shot the arrow, and unconsciously, he was completely immersed in the use of the bow and arrow.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and every time Zhang Mo shoots an arrow, his understanding of the application of bows and arrows continues to improve.

Just after Zhang Mo shot a hundred arrows, he suddenly felt a trace of spiritual power in his body flow down his arm into the arrows.

Shout!

I saw the arrow cut through the air, and then hit the target steadily. This feeling was subtle, and Zhang Mo then shot three more arrows, each of which hit the target.

"Young master, try this stone!" I saw the iron pillar throw a stone into the sky, and then motioned for Zhang Mo to shoot.

Shout!

I saw arrows flying, and then grazing the flying stones and shooting out.

"Come again!" Tie Zhu also seemed to notice that Zhang Mo had entered a state of epiphany, and threw the stones into the sky one after another, and threw them farther and farther.

The spiritual power flowing in Zhang Mo's body became smoother and smoother, and in the blink of an eye, a trace of spiritual power entered the arrow, and then released the bowstring, and then the arrow went straight to the flying stone in the sky.

Woohoo......

The arrows hit the stones more and more accurately, and the moment the arrows came into contact with the stones, the stones were instantly shattered.

Just after the iron pillar stopped throwing stones, a big golden bird suddenly flew in the sky, Zhang Mo was overjoyed, and happened to use the big bird for experiments.

Shout!

I saw the arrow cut through the air, and then went straight for the big bird. When the big bird saw the arrow coming, one sideways dodged the arrow. Then he immediately took off with all his strength and went straight into the sky.

When Zhang Mo wanted to shoot another arrow, the big bird had already flown out of range.

"Young master, forget it, it's a golden eagle, it's extremely fast, before you could shoot a stone, the speed of the flying stone is not too fast, the golden eagle is different, it already has spiritual intelligence, don't say it's you, even I can't shoot it." Iron Pillar reminded.

You must know that the golden eagle is a good helper for hunters, but not all hunters can catch such highly intelligent birds.
