Chapter 8: The Declining National Art

Qin Xiuwu smiled and comforted. "Ruolan is good at archery, even I, who has lived in Inner Mongolia for two years, am ashamed of myself."

Ruoyou smiled faintly and said gently, "What is this, you can too." You didn't just want to know why I said that those border herds were so valuable, I'll tell you now. But before you tell me, you raised the border herds, or did they appear by chance. Are you able to breed that kind of border herding in batches? ”

Qin Xiuwu was shocked in her heart, listening to the meaning of her words, she knew that that kind of border herd could be cultivated in batches. Does she know the secret of the hourglass? Also, the hourglass was originally taken from Ruolan, how could she not know.

Qin Xiuwu pondered for a long time and said, "Yes, it is indeed possible to cultivate in batches. Bian Mu is only tens of thousands of yuan at most, didn't you lie to me about those words? ”

"What did I lie to you. Why is it so valuable to start from ancient times, in ancient times, there were constant wars, and people often lived a precarious life, and they could die at any time. Even in times of peace, they often faced oppression from landlords.

In order to be able to strengthen the body and protect the family and the country, some people began to practice martial arts. Later, it gradually developed into a martial art that only kills the enemy and does not perform, which is the national art. ”

"Guoshu? Isn't this made up in fiction, don't you tell me it's true? ”

Ruoyou glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "Listen to me." Of course, Guoshu is not a blind fabrication, this is real. It's just that there is a specialization in the art industry, just like mobile phones we use every day, do you know where to produce mobile phones and how to produce them? Guoshu is the same, it is not a circle of people, who will pay attention.

And ......"

Ruoyou made a shooting motion, with a little naughty in his intellect, and Qin Xiuwu's eyes were straight when he saw it.

"Besides, what era is it now, no matter how good the martial arts are, even if you succeed in practicing national arts, you can't stop a bullet. Who cares about this kind of martial arts that are only useful in the war era, which has long been mixed with martial arts.

And the value of border herding is related to national art. When the national art was prevalent in those years, there were many people who died at the hands of the enemy, but how many people died in assassination and poisoning, and how many people were stabbed in the back by cronies.

In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, the master of national art learned from the pain, and was inspired by the loyal watchdog, selected animals with outstanding qualifications, and raised them in various ways to protect their own safety. Since animals are much more loyal than humans once they recognize their owners, this method has gradually gained acceptance.

These cultivated animals came to be known as spirit animals. Like your earth dog and my black bear, they are all spirit animals that have been cultivated.

It's just that there are very few animals that can have this qualification, and the cultivation process is huge, and few people know about it now. And you, the border herd, have the qualifications to be cultivated into a spirit animal.

If there is a channel to sell to those who need it, it is still cheap to sell it worth millions. ”

Only then did Qin Xiuwu know the reason why Ruo You said that, and he then asked, "But why would you ask me if I can cultivate in batches, is there a way to cultivate an animal with spirit beast qualifications." ”

"Yes, there is always a way to make complex things simple. After years of development, some Guoshu sects gradually mastered the method of cultivating spirit beasts, and passed it on as a secret. Are you still excited when you get this method and think it's unique. In fact, this is only a method mastered by a few people.

I really don't know if I should congratulate you, this method was enough for you to become the emperor's guest in ancient times. Now it's just a rich dogdog. ”

Qin Xiuwu knew that the last sentence had a meaning of ridicule. This method has a lot of useful effects even in modern times, whether it is rescuing rare animals or training military dogs, you can become the top person in the industry. It's just that compared with ancient times, there is indeed a huge difference.

He didn't dwell on this issue, after all, he was still a sling now, and he was already very happy to have this kind of goldfinger-like ability against the sky. Who cares about the future.

"Do you know how to do national arts, or teach me, I'm very interested."

Of course, he didn't like Guoshu, he thought about the other side. If he doesn't know how to do national arts, he will marry Ruoyou and have children in the future, in case there is some contradiction, he will be beaten if he really quarrels. Can you do it without learning Chinese arts?

Ruoyu said lightly, "I haven't practiced for a long time, I ask myself if I'm a genius, I have practiced hard for more than ten years, and I have practiced until I am rough and dark." But he can't even dodge bullets, what are he doing practicing Chinese arts. Besides, your family is not practicing Tai Chi, that is the practice of national arts, how can I teach it. ”

Although his voice was flat, Qin Xiuwu heard a strong desolation from it. After more than ten years of hard training, suffering from all kinds of hardships and exhausting infinite mental strength, he is still invincible to the fingers of others, what kind of pain is involved.

Qin Xiuwu asked differently: "Tai Chi is also a kind of national art?" I've been practicing for more than ten years, how don't I know. ”

"What can you do if you know, what can you do if you don't know. Now that the national art has declined, it has long been only the role of strengthening the body. You practice it every day and you can use it to strengthen your body. No matter how good you practice, it's useless. ”

When he said the last sentence, even with Ruoyu's temperament, there was a little trilling in his voice. Qin Xiuwu wisely didn't mention this thing that made her sad. He said, "Okay, don't mention this, we didn't come out to hunt today, go up to the front and take a look, maybe there are good prey ahead." ”

As he spoke, he urged the horse to run forward. Ruo was stunned to see him run out for a long time before he reacted, urging the horse to catch up.

If you haven't been to the grassland, how can you know how enjoyable it is to ride a horse on the endless prairie and release the depression in your chest. This racing car is even more exciting.

The two of you chased me and urged the horse as much as you wanted, and ran out for more than ten miles, and Ruoyou's mood gradually improved.

When the two gradually stopped their horses, the figures of a group of yellow sheep in front of them were also revealed.

Qin Xiuwu looked at Ruoyou with a charming smile on his face and said, "Luckily, it's rare to see the shadow of the yellow sheep now, let's go over and hunt two to try it." But today you are the main force, with the level of my half-material, if you want to hunt yellow sheep, you can only rely on luck. It's not like you are like a god in archery, and you can pierce Yang in a hundred steps. ”

If a hearty laugh came. "It's good to say that I also practiced archery when I practiced martial arts, and it's still easy to hunt a yellow sheep."

Yellow sheep is also called yellow antelope, Mongolian antelope, in fact, it is not a sheep, but the shape is the same as that of a sheep, but the limbs are short and the ribs are very thin, the abdomen is sandwiched with yellow hair, the horns are like rams, and they like to lie on the sand.

It used to be one of the winter food sources for Mongolian herders, but now it is rarely seen in the Inner Mongolian steppe.

It is not easy to hunt a yellow sheep, which is very fast, able to run for an hour at a speed of 75 kilometers per hour. At such a fast speed, it is difficult to catch up with it even in an off-road vehicle.

So you can only hunt it quickly when it is not paying attention. Otherwise, you can only watch it go away and have nothing to do.

Seeing that Qin Xiuwu wanted to ride over, Ruoyou stopped him and said, "Today I will let you see the power of the national arts, look at me." ”

With that, he dismounted, took a bow and arrows, and leaned over. He moved quickly and quickly, and he obviously carried a lot of accessories on his body but did not make a sound. And the yellow sheep, who was originally very sensitive, did not notice it at all.

This is something that many hunters can't do.

After approaching the yellow sheep, Ruoyou suddenly stood up and brushed three arrows, except for one arrow that accidentally missed, the other two arrows were shot into the necks of the two yellow sheep respectively. The other sheep were frightened and quickly left, leaving only two sheep struggling to lose their lives.

"Papapa" Qin Xiuwu rode over and applauded, "Good archery, if anyone is lucky enough to marry you in the future, you don't have to worry about the game in this life." ”

Ruoyu glanced at him, and said happily, "you, put them on horseback, and we'll go look for other prey." ”
