Chapter 2 Sensing Heaven and Earth
In Xiangjia Village, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers are not enough to say what happened to its paradise. Two wooden towers stand at the entrance of the village, and some people stand on the top of the towers and look down in all directions, entering a flat scene in the village. This is where the children usually train, and a little further back is where the villagers live. Fruit trees are planted everywhere in front of the house and behind the house, and now it is the season of peach blossoms to watch from a distance, and the so-called paradise is nothing more than that. The roads in the village are straight and crisscrossed, and there are several larger buildings in the rear that are the ancestral hall of the clan, the residence of the patriarch and the clan meeting hall. There are also some smaller houses that are clan workshops.
Further on, there is a cliff of a hundred feet high, and a waterfall rushes down into the pool and rumbles. But they don't know where the water flows from the pool. Because since Xiang Yun remembered, he was told by the clansmen that the back mountain was a forbidden place in the clan, and he must not step into it.
The existence of the forbidden land adds a touch of mystery to this ordinary village that lives by hunting all year round!
Xiang Yun walked directly into the training ground, and a six- or seven-year-old girl with two pigtails saw Xiang Yun and immediately ran from afar and shouted, "Brother Yun, are you back?"
Xiang Yun stretched out his hand and rubbed the girl's head and smiled, "Xiao Lin'er, you little heel is coming to clingy again!"
The girl's name is Xiang Lin, and she is the daughter of Xiang Yun's second uncle. I usually like to follow Xiang Yun, although sometimes it is more clingy, but it is also very lively and cute.
When Xiang Lin heard this, she immediately pursed her lips and complained dissatisfiedly, "You are a bad brother, you will bully people!" Lin'er ignored you!"
Xiang Yun had to say some good things, so he coaxed the little girl. Later, I also learned from Xiao Lin'er that his father had come here just now, saying that he wanted Xiang Yun to practice archery well. Three days later will be the first trial for adults who have reached the age of sixteen, and all clansmen who have reached the age of sixteen will participate.
On a row of wooden shelves, bows and arrows of three colors were placed, and the brown bow and arrow had a range of two hundred and eighty meters, which was suitable for ordinary people. The golden longbow is made of gold bone wood, and it can shoot more than 500 meters away when fired with full force. The last kind of jet-black longbow is even more powerful, made of hundred-year-old black vine wood, and there are no more than five people in the entire hunting guard team in Xiangjia Village who can pull this bow.
Xiang Yun picked out a pair of golden bows and arrows from the shelf, picked up the longbow and flipped it in his hand, and the next second an arrow hit the bowstring. If the bow is full of moon, the arrow will fly out of the string.
"Instigation!" The arrow feather was nailed to the bull's-eye 500 meters away, and the tail of the arrow trembled violently on the target. Xiang Lin clapped her little hands on the side and shouted, "Brother Yun, you are amazing!"
"Little girl, don't make a fuss. At this time, a tall and thin middle-aged man walked up and spoke.
"Uncle Lei?" Xiang Yun immediately bowed to the visitor.
The visitor wore an animal skin gown on his upper body, a pair of gray pants on his lower body, and the most conspicuous thing was a wine gourd hanging from his waist. Uncle Lei walked directly to the bow frame, took the jet-black longbow in his hand, closed his eyes and wound the bow at the same time, and "instigated, instigated" The three arrow feathers shot through the arrow target five hundred meters away. The whole process is seamless.
Xiang Yun's mouth was half open, and he was horrified in his heart. How powerful it could be! He knew that the material used for the opposite target was not simple. The three-inch-thick green cotton silk wood wants to shoot through, I have never heard of anyone who can do it, how dare you believe it if you don't see it with your own eyes!
Xiang Tianlei is the number one marksman in the Xiang clan, but only the members of the hunting guards know what kind of power his bow and arrow is!
The jet-black longbow returned to the shelf. Xiang Tianlei still looked indifferent and said to himself, "Legend has it that those who have no distractions in their hearts sense all things in heaven and earth. Heaven and man can be one between the bow and the opening!" After he said this, he didn't look at Xiang Yun's reaction, picked up the wine jug on his waist and poured it violently, leaving only a somewhat lonely back far away.
Xiao Xiang Lin sat on the ground quietly and took care of the ants on the ground.
But Xiang Yun stood quietly, thinking about what Uncle Lei said. After sensing heaven and earth, entering the unity of heaven and man? After a long time, Xiang Yun raised the longbow in his hand and shot out a few arrow feathers, but the effect was not obvious! After feeling it several times, he raised his bow and arrow again and pulled the bowstring, but he just pulled it away like this but did not let go. Slowly close your eyes and keep this movement until your hands become numb, and so on.
Suddenly, even with his eyes closed, he sensed it. The fallen leaves outside are falling, and a breeze blows, causing the fallen leaves to flip in the air. This is actually a way of using mental power.
At this moment, the arrow feather flew out of the air, floating through the air and falling to the dead leaves, and the arrow feather spun at high speed and shot at the arrow target hundreds of meters away. The spinning ground arrow feather is still drilling in the bull's-eye. Debris can be seen splashing on the target surface, and the arrow feather is inserted two-thirds of the way into the target surface before stopping.
Xiang Yun was overjoyed in his heart, and then silently said alone, "I know! It's the wind, it's the external power, and it's the power in the heart." ”
With enlightenment, Xiang Yunle practiced tirelessly and repeatedly. Later, he could sense everything going on outside just by closing his eyes. However, this distance is limited, and it can only be sensed within two hundred meters of himself. Since I understood how to use external power, the power of the arrow feather shot has gradually become stronger, and I have been verified again and again. Later, even if it was an arrow target 100 meters away, Xiang Yun could also pass through the arrow.
Xiang Yun is still very satisfied with this kind of achievement, you must know that although most people in the clan can also pull the Golden Bone Wooden Bow. But if you want to say that you can reach the induction of heaven and earth, I'm afraid it's only Xiang Tianlei alone!
At the same time, Xiang Yun also guessed that Uncle Lei, who had always been a man of few words, why did he come here today? This is more like a special trip to guide him, is it ......?
Because Uncle Lei has never spoken to anyone for more than ten years, he never leaves his hand all day long. But the clansmen respected him very much, and Xiang Yun had asked his father before. But his father only sighed slightly when he heard this, and didn't say much about Uncle Lei's situation, but told him in a deep voice that he should not mention Uncle Lei in the future.
As the sun slowly sunset, it was dinner time. Outside the gate of a small courtyard, Xiang Yun smelled the fragrance wafting from a distance. I thought that my mother must have cooked a good meal, waiting for the family to come back for dinner.
Pushing open the courtyard door, her mother suddenly smiled and said, "Yun'er, you arrived on time." Do you know that your mother's meal is ready?"
Xiang Yun watched his mother bring a plate of meat to the stone table in the courtyard, and said casually, "Mother, this meat is so fragrant." What about my father? He didn't go into the mountains today, did he?"
Meng Jingxue, who was dressed in a light cyan cloth shirt, finally served two bowls of porridge and put them on the stone table. Only then did he speak, "Yun'er, let's eat first." Your father went out with the jar of wine, saying that he was going to your Uncle Lei. ”
There is a hut on the side of Xiangjia Village, which sits alone. Under a fragrant leaf tree in front of the house, Xiang Tiande and Xiang Tianlei sat at the stone table and drank silently.
For a long time, Xiang Tiande drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp. Looking into the distance, he said, "Tianlei, many years have passed since that disaster!
Hearing this, Xiang Tianlei was electrocuted instantly. Some of them raised the jug and poured it violently, and the whole person seemed to tremble. The clenched nails thrust into his palms, and blood ran down his fists. Painful images kept flashing through his mind. He didn't speak, or didn't want to! He picked up the wine jar on the table and shook it into his mouth, his eyes full of excruciating pain!
Just kept pouring wine into his mouth repeatedly, Xiang Tiande had to sigh, drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, got up and left silently......!
After the meal, Xiang Yun returned to the room, his eyes were closed tightly, and he only felt that his head was a little swollen and dizzy, how did he know that he had been consuming spiritual power like this to sense the outside world, even some cultivators who had a method of cultivation, I am afraid that they would not dare to try it easily.
Early the next morning, my father knocked on the door of Xiang Yunfang. He said solemnly, "You kid, how can you always be so sleepy? Go to the morning exercise, and in two days you will go hunting in the mountains." If you encounter a powerful beast at that time, how can you protect yourself! If you don't work hard to train yourself, what can you do to protect your clansmen and relatives?" His father has always been very strict with Xiang Yun, but he is also very concerned about and loves his only son.
Xiang Yun didn't dare to say more, rubbing his forehead that was a little swollen and painful. When he came to the training ground, he saw that the children in the clan were already sweating and doing all kinds of exercises. A young man with a black face saw Xiang Yun coming over and dropped the stone lock in his hand.
"Knock ......!" There was a dull sound on the ground, and the young man gasped and laughed, "Heh, Yunzi, how about Brother Niu's strength? When you enter the mountain, you only need to follow Brother Niu, and Brother Niu will protect you, and what beasts can only flee for their lives!"
When the young man who was beating at the stake on the side heard this, he immediately laughed and squatted on the side with his stomach and scolded, "Da Niu, you still want to protect Yunzi? I think you better protect yourself first!"
Xiang Yisheng, how do you kid talk? Why don't we practice?
Before Xiang Yun could speak, the two of them were on the right page! didn't bother to answer the two, walked to the bow rack and grabbed the longbow, from closing his eyes to pulling the bow and winding it, to the arrow feather making a sound of breaking through the air, and finally the arrow feather pierced the arrow target a hundred meters away, the whole process was completed in one go.
The two teenagers who were preparing to compete were stunned. Da Niu subconsciously rubbed his eyes and opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
Xiang Yisheng came back to his senses, rushed behind Xiang Yun in a few steps and shouted, "Okay! Yunzi, you still have this hand, tell me how you did it?"
Xiang Yun didn't know how to explain it for a while, scratched his head and told him, "If you say that you want to sense heaven and earth or something, you can do it." ”
Xiang Yisheng, I was confused at this time. In fact, Xiang Yun really didn't know how to explain it, and even he didn't know what he was talking about after saying a few words!
However, what he didn't notice was that at this time, on the training ground, many people had stopped their movements, and looked at Xiang Yun with an expression of discovering a monster. That stone lock weighed more than 400 catties! But Xiang Yun wielded it without any effort.
Xiang Yun was also very surprised, how could he have such a strong way a few days ago, but now he was only thinking about giving it a try, but as a result, he could not only easily lift this large stone lock with one hand, but also be able to wield it at will. He quickly looked at his hands, but it was no different, forget it, why do you want to do so much. Maybe I've grown up and my strength has grown!
