026 [Just rotten, stable as a dog]
Seven or eight Song clan disciples stood in a row, all glaring angrily at Wang Yuan.
In Guizhou City, they belong to the pride of the sky, and they have been beaten by a barbarian many times.
However, the Song clan has a laissez-faire attitude towards children fighting in the Northern Yahe clan studies. As long as you don't use weapons, as long as you don't kill or maim them, you can mess around with these children no matter how they doโof course, there is another one, you can't disturb Principal Song from reading.
They can't even go to their parents to complain, their parents are not here, and they are chic and happy in their respective jurisdictions.
Wang Yuan walked down the steps with a smile and asked, "How are you going to fight today?" โ
Song Kui subconsciously took two steps back and said loudly: "Test the bow and arrow!" โ
Wang Yuan immediately shook his head: "Song clan rules, weapons cannot be used here." โ
"Go out and compare!" Song Kui pointed in the direction of the back mountain.
Wang Yuan smiled: "Yes." โ
Song Kui saw that Wang Yuan had fallen into the trap, and added with a smile: "I'll let the entourage compare with you." โ
Song Ling'er is purely watching the excitement and does not stand on either side. Hearing this, she said with disdain: "Song Kui, you are a coward, and you still have to ask the warriors of the clan for help." โ
Song Kui didn't pay attention to Song Ling'er's sarcasm at all, stared at Wang Yuan and said, "Do you dare to compare?" โ
"Dare, dare," Wang Yuan pouted, "but you guys are really annoying, it's endless." Even if I win the arrow today, and tomorrow I have to change my tricks, when will I be able to study quietly? โ
Song Kui was confident at the moment and said, "I can swear that after today's bow and arrow competition, I won't trouble you again in the future." If you lose, kneel and kowtow to us. โ
"Did you lose?" Wang Yuan asked.
Song Kui patted his chest and said, "If we lose, we won't trouble you anymore in the future." โ
Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Not enough." โ
"What do you want?" Song Kui asked.
Wang Yuan said his conditions: "If I win." First, you can't trouble me anymore; Second, don't bully my companions anymore; Third, you all have to call me Brother! โ
"Okay," Song Kui immediately agreed, "but if you lose, call me master and be my slave from now on!" โ
"It's a deal!" Wang Yuan was also very happy.
The place where they are studying at the moment is the site of the Beiya Village Academy in Wudang District, Guiyang City in the later generations. It is surrounded by bamboo-covered hills, especially the highest mountain range in the east, called Phoenix Mountain.
The place of the arrow is at the foot of the Phoenix Mountain.
Song Kui was a pure bully, and arranged for eight young men to compete with Wang Yuan in arrows, all of whom had the best archery skills among their followers. Wang Yuan can only win the competition if he wins everyone, otherwise he will lose.
Song Kui threw Wang Yuan a bow and sneered: "Little barbarian, you haven't used such a good bow, have you?" โ
Wang Yuan didn't bother to deal with him, and began to familiarize himself with bows and arrows.
This is a seven-bucket standard step bow, a must-have for martial arts.
Song Kui pointed to the nine haystacks set up in front of him, which were actually nine scarecrows, and said: "Shoot the head and throat for three beans, shoot the torso for two beans, and shoot the limbs for one bean." Ten arrows per person are fired, and whoever has more beans wins. โ
"I'll be the judge!"
Song Linger took the initiative to ask for help, and her attitude was very positive.
Wang Yuan fiddled with the bow and arrows and asked, "I'm not familiar with this kind of bow, can I shoot a few arrows to practice?" โ
"Whatever you want," Song Kui was extremely generous at the moment, and said with a smile, "This is a seven-bucket bow, if you can pull it away, you will be powerful." โ
Song Kui had already inquired clearly, and Wang Yuan would not be eleven years old until half a month.
How strong can an eleven-year-old child, even if he grows quite tall? Not to mention the seven-bucket bow, even the three-bucket horse bow is difficult to pull apart.
Seven buckets are 0.7 stones, 126 catties of Ming catties, about 53 kilograms, and seven bucket bows are 116 pounds of bows. (Note: There are great discrepancies in various statistics, and this book cites the "Research on Grain Yield per Mu in China in Past Dynasties", which shows that one stone in the Ming Dynasty is about 76.75 kilograms.) ๏ผ
Don't look at literary and artistic works, you can "open a five-stone bow" at every turn.
In fact, the seven-bucket bow is already the Ming Dynasty martial arts examination, the highest level of the standard step bow, open a stone bow that belongs to the additional question - can hold the seven bucket bow for the upper force, can hold the five bucket bow for the middle force, can hold the three bucket bow for the lower force.
Song Kui has a bad stomach, and he never thought about comparing archery with Wang Yuan.
Song Ling'er suddenly came back to her senses, and out of the professional ethics of the referee, she protested: "This competition is unfair, it should be replaced with a three-bucket bow, otherwise it will become a competition of strength, where is it still a comparison of arrows?" โ
Song Kui laughed proudly: "Haha, it was his own plan, and he can't regret it now." โ
"What's the point of this kind of competition? If you want to be stronger than your strength, you can simply lift the stone lock and forget it. Song Linger was very unhappy. She didn't look at Wang Yuan, she was just disappointed because she didn't have a good show, and today's trip was in vain.
Wang Yuan didn't care, and said that the traverser had a golden finger, and his golden finger might be his physical fitness.
Malnourished since childhood, the oil and salt at home are saved, and he can be born with divine power, which is completely unscientific!
Wang Yuan's usual earthen bow is about three buckets, and he really hasn't used a seven-bucket bow. I immediately tried to pull the bowstring, but found that it was enough to pull it half-full, and then it began to become difficult to continue.
Test fire an arrow and miss the target.
"Hahahaha!" The Song family laughed heartily.
Song Ling'er smacked her lips and thought: This barbarian is so powerful, he can actually pull out the seven-bucket bow, and I use a one-bucket bow.
Wang Yuan immediately made adjustments and released the arrow before it was half full. Helplessly, the target was too far, and the strength was obviously not enough, so I wanted to shoot my head but fell to the ground.
"Have you tried enough?" Song Kui asked with a grin.
"Nope."
Wang Yuan's face was expressionless, and he pulled the bow to seven points full. Aiming carefully, his wrist trembled, and he shot another arrow, piercing the scarecrow's leg.
Fortunately, the East is dominated by compound bows, and the bow body is relatively short, so children can make do with it.
If it is replaced by a single bow in Europe, there is no need to compare it today, and the length of Wang Yuan's arm does not meet the requirements for opening a bow.
Taking out a strip of cloth and wrapping it around his thumb, Wang Yuan said, "It's okay, let's start." โ
Song Ling'er raised the horsewhip high.
"Smack!"
The whip hit the ground, and with a crisp sound, nine arrows were shot at the same time.
In the first round, four were shot in the head, and the remaining five were shot in the torso.
In the second round, two missed the target, leaving seven to shoot in the torso.
In the third round, three missed the target, leaving six to shoot in the torso.
In the fourth round, six people missed the target...... Even when they put down their bows and arrows, their arms couldn't stop shaking.
Just kidding, this is a seven-bucket strong bow used by the upper force, and it is almost the same to let the personal guards of the Song family's toast come, and the entourage of the Song family's disciples is not so strong.
Including Wang Yuan, a group of war scumbags, the next thing is to be worse.
Wang Yuan's arm was also shaking, but he didn't miss the target once, and he didn't shoot the head - the whole time was just right.
Tested twice before, Wang Yuan knew his limits. Even if he was born with divine power, due to his physical development, he could only hardpull to seven points.
If you don't have enough strength, you can play with your brain.
Pulling only six points at a time, maintaining control of the bow and arrow, he pointed at the scarecrow's head and shot, falling right in the stomach.
Those Song family entourages were more reckless, and they all wanted to behave in front of their masters, and the first arrow was all drawn to the full bow before shooting. The second and third arrows are also as full as possible, and they belong to deadlifts, which not only violate archery skills, but also consume physical strength, and are easy to strain their tendons.
By the time they reacted, it was too late, their muscles throbbed, and their hands trembled like Parkinson's patients.
In the fifth round, eight people directly missed the target, and only Wang Yuan was still in the middle of the game.
Steady as a dog!
"Smack!"
Song Ling'er whipped and shouted, "I declare that Wang Yuan has won!" โ
"What wins? It's not over yet! Song Kui's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Then let's go on.
For a time, arrows flew all over the sky, landing with fate, and shaking hands like sifting beans.
Song Kui bullied Wang Yuan for his lack of strength and set the target position too far, but now he is pit on his side.
The eight Song family entourages lost convincingly, although Wang Yuan happened to be just the right score, but not everyone could get the bad score. It requires precise control of strength and distance, and if you don't pay attention to it, you miss the target, and they don't have such a talent anyway - if they had that talent, they would have been called by Tusi to be a guard.
Song Ling'er pointed at Song Kui and said, "I am willing to lose the bet!" โ
"I won't trouble him in the future." Song Kui said and turned around and left.
Song Ling'er shouted: "There is also a brother called!" โ
Song Kui walked faster, but he didn't hear it.
Song Ling'er rushed over and stopped: "Don't go!" โ
Song Kui said angrily: "Xiao Xian (sister-in-law), how can you help outsiders talk?" โ
Song Ling'er crossed her hands on her hips: "I won't help anyone." But I'm a judge, everything comes according to the rules, and I can't go back on what I say! โ
Song Ling'er is the only daughter of the patriarch Song Ran, and Song Kui's father is still counting on the heir, so he can't offend this aunt and grandmother.
Although the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Song Kui still walked up to Wang Yuan and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Brother." โ
"And you." Song Ling'er pointed to the others.
The remaining seven Song family disciples had to come over, reluctantly, and one of them shouted "Brother" before leaving.
Song Ling'er was quite proud, and asked Wang Yuan with a smile: "How should I be a judge?" โ
Wang Yuan sincerely admired: "The iron mask is selfless and enforces the law impartially. โ
"Haha, you know a lot of Han family idioms," Song Ling'er became more and more happy, and said, "Your strength is so great, you can actually pull the Seven Bucket Bow." My father's guards were all warriors, and only one of them could shoot seven bows. It's not a deadlift like you, it's a casual seven-bucket bow. When you grow up, you will definitely be able to be like that warrior, and firing the Seven Bucket Bow is like eating. โ
Wang Yuan asked: "How many people in Guizhou City can open seven bucket bows?" โ
"I don't know," Song Ling'er chirped, "but on the Guizhou Wei side, there was a big warrior who could shoot a two-stone bow, and he went to the field to be a general after being admitted to the martial arts." โ
Nima, open two stone bows, 338 pound bows...... It's not human!
As for the fierce men who opened the five-stone bow in history, even if the difference in weights and measures is put aside, it is unimaginable for Wang Yuan.
