Chapter 745: Understanding, Upper Limit?
When Lichen heard my words, he replied: "Uncle Shi, this is a secret, except for the abbot, only a few people designated in the temple can know about it, and I can't leak it to you." ”
I heard Chen's words, so I didn't dwell on this issue, anyway, I didn't plan to make money by selling flying knives, so it was useless to ask, so I immediately said: "I'll try the power of this flying knife first." Then I stepped forward and glanced at the coin-sized stone, which instantly enlarged, and I turned my head slightly, turned around and flew out with a knife.
Sou!
The Shark Knife was even more dazzling in the sunlight, flying like a bolt of lightning towards the stone, followed by a clang, inserted into the small hole, and hit the target with unmistakable accuracy.
Judging from the sound, the force of the flying knife hitting the rock wall has increased significantly.
At the same time, I also feel that the weight of the new knives has been increased, which is easier for me to handle.
Then the abbot said, "Try it a hundred times." ”
I immediately said, "Yes, Abbot! ”
In this way, I threw again and again, and in the last 100 counts, 100 times all hits, not a single shot was missed, and I really achieved 100 shots, and the wind and other factors that were quite troublesome before were also aggravated by the blade, and they could no longer affect me.
The abbot nodded slightly, and said, "It's quite reluctant, next you have to practice moving the target, the dust, you find someone, climb to the opposite tree, hang a small stone the size of a coin with a rope and swing, and accompany your uncle to practice." ”
Lichen said, "Abbot, when will it start?" ”
The abbot said, "Start right away." Then he turned back to me and said, "After practicing the moving target, you can make every shot, and you can start the practice of spinning." ”
I was overjoyed in my heart, and finally came to the most critical point, and said on the spot: "Abbot, I will definitely practice with my heart." ”
The abbot hummed and went.
After all, the flying knife is no better than other weapons, you can't only bring one, it is necessary to prepare fifty, and you have to take it back at any time, otherwise fifty will not be enough.
I knew that after leaving Biyun Temple, due to the influence of materials, it would be impossible to create the same flying knives in the future, so I asked Chen to make a hundred for me.
Lichen cried on the spot with a sad face, and said: "Uncle Shi, your old man said it lightly, do you know how difficult it is to build a flying knife, a hundred flying knives, do you want to exhaust your nephew to death?" ”
I said, "Those who can work harder, and you will work hard when you are dusty." ”
Although Lichen complained, I was his uncle after all, and I could only do hard labor.
I then told the dust not to be slotted, except for twenty, all the others should be slotted.
Lichen complained again, saying that there was one more process to slot, and it would be a little troublesome, and he had to be busy.
Soon after the dust was gone, a little novice, with more dexterity, climbed the tree that the abbot had pointed to, and then dangled there with a rope the size of a coin.
I stood twenty meters away, looking at the shaking stones, I felt that there was no bottom, and I had been practicing a fixed target, and suddenly I was aiming at a moving target, and I felt a little at a loss.
After watching it for a while, I finally made my first shot.
But the result was unexpected, and it was far from it, and the knife flew about twenty centimeters to the left of the shaking stone, and with a thud, it was nailed to the trunk of the tree behind it.
The blade is not in the handle, the force is good, of course, there is also the sharpness of the knife itself, but the accuracy is too disappointing.
I pulled out the knife and wondered, why is this happening?
After thinking about it, I realized that the target was moving, and I aimed to see the landing point of the stone, so naturally there would be deviations due to the movement of the stone, so I had to estimate the trajectory of the stone, and then calculate where it landed when the flying knife shot over, so as to hit accurately.
After thinking about it, I started to try it for the second time, this time the effect is a little better, the distance is about ten centimeters, compared to the previous accuracy is greatly improved, but it is still far from hitting the target directly, and I still have to practice.
I am deeply aware that it is not as simple as imagined to practice a flying knife that is not as simple as I imagined.
After dozens of attempts, I was able to hit the moving rock, but the hit rate was not 100%, only about 40 percent.
The next day, Master Abbot came to check the effect of my practice, and when he saw that my hit rate was only about 60 percent, he asked me to continue practicing until the hit rate reached more than 90 percent, and then proceed to the next stage of practice.
The abbot also said that this is more lenient, and if it weren't for my limited time, the hit rate would have to reach more than 99 percent to be considered qualified.
After three full days of practice, the improvement in the hit rate has not been very satisfactory, only reaching about 80 percent, which is still the case that I have the previous foundation, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve 30 percent.
Could it be that I misunderstood?
I began to doubt myself, sat on the floor, and pondered why.
Puzzled, he asked the abbot when he came again.
But the abbot ignored me and said directly: "I have already taught you everything that should be taught, and how much you can achieve depends on your personal understanding, and no one can help." ”
After the abbot left, I thought about it for another day, but I still didn't think of the problem, and the improvement of the hit rate came to a near standstill.
Is that all I can do?
In the middle of the night, I sat in front of the cliff, looking at the vague shadows of the surrounding mountains, and I felt even more unwilling.
I'm not smart enough? Not savvy enough?
It was a big blow to me, I have always been quite confident in myself, even narcissistic, and this time the bottleneck made me doubt myself.
In thought, the sky was already bright, the morning sun rose up the mountain, shooting the first ray of sunlight, a little dazzling, and at this moment, I suddenly thought of what the abbot said, the eye to the heart to the knife, the use of the knife is not in the skill, not in the eyes, but in the feeling.
I calculated the trajectory of the stones, but I fell behind, and I didn't understand the real mystery of the use of throwing knives.
Thinking of this, I suddenly became enlightened and ecstatic, and hurriedly asked the little novice of the sparring partner to climb the tree and continue to make moving targets for me.
I stood twenty meters away from the tree, closed my eyes, and calmed my mind, as if I had been studying the Heart Sutra Commentary.
I opened my eyes and looked at the moving small stone, which suddenly enlarged, and then turned my head away, turned around and shot directly.
"Whoosh!"
I distinctly felt the knives in my field of vision flying faster, like a meteor piercing the night sky, flying away like lightning.
As the knives moved, the stones moved as well, and the two sides got closer and closer.
Then, a miracle appeared again, the tip of the throwing knife hit the stone, and the stone fell apart and turned into countless debris splashes, the flying knife shot through the stone and castrated, and shot like lightning to the trunk of the tree behind it, and with a bang, the whole knife was completely submerged in the trunk.
I did it!
I was ecstatic when I saw this.
The little novice said, "Uncle Shi, you actually shot, so far, such a small stone, still moving, you actually shot, Uncle Shi is amazing!" ”
I laughed and said, "It's all taught well by the abbot." ”
This sentence is from the bottom of my heart, if it weren't for the abbot to teach me, even if I practiced hard all my life, I might not be able to achieve what I am now.
Xiao Shami said: "Uncle Shi is really enviable, up and down our Biyun Temple, no one is not eager to get the abbot's guidance, but there is no chance." ”
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, you all have a chance, as long as you show enough sincerity, I believe the abbot will see it and make an exception to guide." After saying that, I walked quickly to the place where the flying knife sank into the trunk of the tree, and I wanted to take out the flying knife and practice for the second time, but I was dumbfounded when I saw it, and the flying knife even shot into the trunk of the tree, how to take it out?
The little novice also saw it on the tree, and said, "Uncle Shi, why don't I go and take an axe and cut an incision, as long as the end of the handle is exposed, it will be easy to take out." ”
I nodded and said, "Well, I'm sorry for you." ”
The little novice said, "No trouble. Then he got out of the tree and trotted away.
