Gao Taiping clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, the apprentice is actually born with divine power, but I have practiced since I was a child, and I drank an unknown amount of tiger bone wine before I had the strength to pull a five-hundred-pound heavy bow and crossbow." ”

Xu Daoyun relaxed the bowstring and said with a shy smile: "It's just some brute force, Master Xie praises it." ”

Gao Taiping nodded and said, "Well, although you have great strength, archery relies not only on strength, but also on skill." ”

The two of them spoke and listened to each other, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Daoyun stood three zhang away, bent his bow and set up arrows, aimed the tip of his sword at the poplar tree, released the bowstring, and the arrow shot out with a bang, hitting the poplar.

Gao Taiping nodded and said, "Well, yes, you stand a foot back." ”

Xu Daoyun stepped back, pulled out a carved arrow from the quiver, put on the bowstring, and shot at the trunk of the tree.

"Two feet back, shoot copper coins. ”

In order to increase the difficulty, Gao Taiping embedded a copper coin in the tree, wanting to see how his accuracy was.

Hearing this, Xu Daoyun pushed back two feet further, drew an arrow and took the bow, tightened the bowstring, and stared at the copper coin reflecting the firelight with a pair of phoenix eyes, his fingertips were slightly loose, and the arrows were like stars.

The crowd only heard a ding, and the arrow passed through the square hole and hung the copper coin on the shaft of the arrow.

"Good!"

Gao Taiping applauded and praised: "The apprentice's talent is really outstanding, his understanding is extraordinary, it has only been more than half an hour, and you can shoot a copper coin from six zhang away." ”

Xu Daoyun smiled shyly: "Compared with the master, it is far worse, the way of riding and archery is much more difficult than I imagined, and if you want to go further, you must accumulate hard work and practice." ”

"Hmm. ”

Gao Taiping nodded with satisfaction, suddenly narrowed his eyes, snatched the iron bow in Xu Daoyun's hand, and took out a carved arrow from the quiver on his waist, put it on the bowstring, and shot it towards the sky.

Suddenly, something fell from the sky, and everyone looked at it by the firelight, and it turned out to be a fat pheasant that was shot by Gao Taiping.

Everyone was surprised again by Gao Taiping's excellent archery skills, and it was almost an instant for him to go from bending the bow and arrows to archery.

Yan Dengwu and the others didn't even know what was happening, but the arrow had already penetrated the target's body, and the observation power and the speed with which the target was captured were really impressive.

Gao Taiping threw the iron bow to Xu Daoyun casually, stepped forward to pick up the spasmodic and twitching pheasant, pulled out the arrow, and grinned: "Eat a little heart." ”

He skillfully drained the blood of pheasants, hollowed out the entrails, and chopped off the tails.

He also asked Xu Daoyun, who was an apprentice, to carry it to the stream to rinse, and then took out a short knife to divide the pheasant in two, and each took a branch to wear it, and set it on the bonfire to smoke it.

Xu Daoyun sat next to Gao Taiping, flipped over half a pheasant, and asked, "Master, what kind of chicken is this?"

Gao Taiping said: "It's a snowcock, which belongs to a category with relatively tender and fatty meat, and we are lucky to catch a snowcock in the wild." ”

The snow chicken is roasted over the fire, the meat is golden and golden, and the oil and water secreted from the chicken crackle, and the meat is fragrant.

Xu Daoyun sniffed, couldn't help but feel reel, and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant, and there is no garlic salt and vinegar as a condiment, why does it taste so delicious?"

Gao Taiping said with a smile: "So the dishes made with snow chicken in restaurants are not cheap, just because the meat is tender and juicy, but unfortunately it is easy to gain weight if you eat too much, but it is the favorite of those rich and noble families, so you go to see those rich people, most of them eat with fat brains." ”

Xu Daoyun chuckled, swallowed his saliva, and said a little impatiently: "Master, it should be fine, right?"

"I'm not in a hurry, there's still some moisture, I'm too dry to eat, I have to wait for a while, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”

"Okay!"

Just as the chickens were ripe, they suddenly heard a loud shout from the east, and Gao Taiping hurriedly asked everyone to silence them, put out the bonfire, and hid in the bushes.

Xu Daoyun whispered: "It must be the companions of the bandits who came down the mountain to find it." ”

Gao Taiping smiled: "There should be eleven or twelve people listening to the voice." ”

He took off the iron bow and said, "Good apprentice, look at the master's archery skills." ”

"Good!"

I saw more than a dozen people walking on the forest path, all of them were fierce dragons and tigers, and they were clearly dressed as gangsters of the evil tiger cottage.

Gao Taiping held his breath and condensed, took out four carved arrows from the quiver with his right hand, bent the bow and strings, and shot out a volley, knocking the four evil men to the ground.

Everyone only waited for him to shoot the bow first, and then made a move, and jumped out of the bushes one after another, a few white lights flashed, and more than a dozen evil men were killed in an instant.

Xu Daoyun pulled out the arrows on the four wicked men, handed them back to Gao Taiping, and exclaimed: "The master's ability to kill four birds with one stone is really powerful. ”

Gao Taiping didn't scrub the blood on the arrow, stuffed it into the quiver indiscriminately, and said with a smile: "You are very talented, you just need to practice diligently, I believe you will soon be able to reach my realm." ”

He put the iron bow on his back, grabbed the legs of the two evil men and dragged them into the bushes, and said, "Don't be stunned, everyone, help hide these guys in the bushes, so that they don't look bad." ”

Everyone started one after another, and the mountain road was cleaned clean.

Gao Taiping built another bonfire and continued to smoke the snow chicken.

Xu Daoyun walked out of the bushes, threw the heavy money bag in his hand, sat in front of the bonfire, and said with a smile: "These thieves are quite rich, and they have looted a total of twenty-three taels of silver. ”

Gao Taiping flipped the snow chicken and said casually: "How can I say that I am also your master, this apprenticeship has not been given yet, and when the matter here is over, you have to invite the teacher to the Hangchun Teahouse in Jiangdu County for a big meal." ”

Xu Daoyun smiled: "This is nature. ”

"The chicken is roasted, let's eat it together. ”

Everyone gathered around, and the smell of snow chicken meat was really gluttonous.

Huang Yanyao and Li Wenjuan didn't come over, after all, the two of them were daughters' homes, and they went directly to tear the chicken to eat, which was out of character, so they only opened the bag and took some dried meat out to satisfy their hunger.

After days of hurrying, everyone was tired, and most of them were sleepy.

Just in case, Gao Taiping asked everyone to take turns to take turns and change shifts to rest.

......

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

In the early morning, the forest is filled with fog, and the white mist is like a fairyland on earth.

A wicked man with a large ring knife in his hand was running aimlessly through the woods, and several of his companions who had gone down the mountain with him fell to the ground inexplicably, leaving him alone, his heart was extremely restless, and his face was full of fear.

A carved arrow silently pierced through the white mist, and with a pop it pierced through the evil man's neck and out of his throat.

The wicked man fell to the ground in response, blood gushing like a spring, convulsed twice, and died of exhaustion.

"Good!"

Gao Taiping praised: "In the dense fog, fifteen zhang away from each other to shoot moving targets one after another, it is already very good." ”

Xu Daoyun put down the iron bow, scratched his head and smiled: "It's all taught well by the master." ”

Gao Taiping took the iron bow and said, "Money-grubber, go and loot, and pick up my arrows by the way." ”

"Yes. ”

Xu Daoyun nodded in agreement, and ran to take back all the broken silver and arrows on the seven or eight evil men.
