Chapter 64: Gao's Bow

Lu Blacksmith thanked him and left, Guo Song handed the star sand cloth bag to Liang Wu, "Take it!" and two hundred taels of silver shall be returned to me. ”

Liang Wu's eyes widened, "Don't you want to?" ”

"Nonsense! I'm not a blacksmith for what I want it to do, and if you hadn't been desperately squeezing at me, I'd have refused on the spot. ”

Liang Wu sighed, "This is really Xingsha, I also have a small piece, exactly the same as it, it is indeed a rare treasure, if you don't regret it, give it to me!" ”

Liang Wugang was about to reach out to pick it up, but Guo Song took it back, and said with a smile: "I regret it a little now, this thing doesn't take up space, I take it to the capital and sell it, can I sell it for a thousand taels of silver?" ”

"You care so much about money?"

Guo Song swept the star sand and took it back into his arms, "If the city can be like Kongtong Mountain, you can find food everywhere, I don't care about the silver, it's a pity!" If you don't have silver, you have to look at people's faces, but I don't like to look at people's faces, so I still have some silver in my pocket. ”

Liang Wu said solemnly: "Guo Song, if you are really short of silver, the Liang family has it, you fight for the Liang family, the Liang family will never treat you badly, and you will win a personal ranking, and you will also have a rich reward, but such a big piece of star sand, I dare not say that it is unique in the world, but it is also rare in the world, it is a pity that you really exchange it for silver." ”

"Let's go! Walk! Walk! You're not interesting, and you don't understand how to joke with you, but you still reason with me, hurry up and leave, I'm sleepy. ”

Guo Song waved his hand and drove Liang Wu away like a fly.

............

The next day, it was just dawning, and a thin layer of morning mist shrouded Lingzhou City like a light veil.

Guojiabao's guest house is extremely quiet, under a big tree, Guo Song has changed his posture, still standing on one foot, but his body is attached downward, and his left foot and body are in a straight line, like a 'Ding' character.

He pinched the sword in his left hand, pointed behind him, and held the horizontal knife in his right hand, stabbing in front of him, his eyes like lightning, staring at a leaf without blinking.

This trick is called Pingsha Luoyan, and he has been standing for an hour, and his body has always been motionless.

Not far behind him, Liang Wu also cheekily followed him to learn his standing sword style, but unfortunately he lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and his body couldn't bear it.

From head to toe, every muscle was exhausted, but Liang Wu also understood Guo Song's method of practicing martial arts, he was practicing strength and balance, and every muscle and muscle in his body was used to the limit.

Only in this way will he be as swift and powerful as a leopard when he strikes, and he will be able to spin a few times in the air and still be able to stand firmly.

It's a pity that this unique way of practicing martial arts must be practiced from an early age, and he is only practicing now, which is no longer of much significance, Liang Wu sighed in his heart, why didn't he meet Guo Song a few years earlier?

Of course, he didn't know that Guo Song's static standing style was just a method of practicing martial arts, he really practiced the nine styles of sword weapons, and he needed to use the static standing style to comprehend the sword intent.

Liang Wu soon gave up the idea of learning from Guo Song, and the sword technique in his hand changed, and then it became Guo's one hundred and three path knife technique, and for a while, the cold light was shining, and the complicated knife technique was dazzling.

Guo Song only practiced for an hour before putting away the sword style, he would not practice for another day, in the words of the third senior brother Gan Fatzi, a work has been successful, and the rest of the thing is to maintain it, not to continue to toss, and he doesn't have that time.

Guo Song stood aside and watched Liang Wu practice the knife silently, this is the family knife method, of course he can't comment at will, but Guo's knife method is also the same as most of the knife skills, all of them have taken the wrong path, as if the more complex and more intelligent, in fact, on the contrary, the more concise and practical the knife technique.

But this is also relatively speaking, this is like a piece of clothing, why the clothes made by the master are very simple, but full of beauty, the reason is actually that the cloth chosen by the master is good, if the inferior fabric is used, the simpler the more ugly, and the garish it is, it can be accepted.

This is a general truth, the master writes very concise articles, that is because his basic skills are solid, concise, and accurate, without basic skills, it can only be piled up with flowery rhetoric like middle school students' compositions.

The same is true of martial arts, without strong strength, without swift posture, without sharp gaze and strong balance, then the simpler the move, the faster you will die.

At this time, Shi Xiaopang's pleading voice came from outside, "Grandma, I really didn't steal this bow, I met her at the door just now, she asked me to show it to Guo Song, you just let me go!" ”

"You are talking nonsense, how did Sanniang know Guo Daochang, you hurry up and tell the truth, how did you come here?"

Listening to the voice, it was Liang Ling'er, and she seemed to be very angry.

Shi Xiaopang was dragged into the yard by Liang Ling'er by the collar, looking very embarrassed, he was still holding a bow in his hand, Guo Song's eyes lit up, and he stared at the bow in Shi Xiaopang's hand, which turned out to be an iron spine bow.

Ordinary riding bows are between five buckets and eight buckets, and if you want to achieve more than one stone, there are generally two ways to make it, either you can make it thick and bigger, but the bow is too big and can only be used as a step bow, and it is not conducive to riding and shooting on a horse.

Therefore, the craftsmen thought of another way to become stronger, that is, to add metal to the bow, generally using iron, craftsmen use iron bars and bamboo and wood tendons and corners to composite lamination, and finally the size of the bow remains the same, but the opening force is much stronger, which is the iron spine bow.

Riding bows above two stones are basically iron spine bows, for the sake of beauty, some people use gold wire or copper coins to wrap on the back of the bow, so that the back of the bow looks shiny, particularly gorgeous, this kind of bow is also called copper tire iron back bow.

The bow on Shi Xiaopang's hand was not a copper-tired iron-backed bow, but an ordinary iron-spine bow, wrapped in cowhide, at least about two stones.

Liang Wu stepped forward and reprimanded: "Ling'er, what are you doing, still not letting go?" ”

Liang Ling'er was a little afraid of her brother, she let go of Shi Xiaopang, pointed to the bow in his hand and said: "I have seen this bow, it is a treasure collected by Sanniang's father, and it is actually in the hands of this Shi Fatty, so I want to ask clearly." ”

Shi Xiaopang tidied up his clothes, and said with a look of grievance: "I told you, this is Duan Sanniang asked me to hand it over to Guo Song, you don't believe it." ”

"Daochang Guo only lived in my house a few days ago, how could Sanniang know him? Besides, even if the bow is to be handed over, it should be handed over by my brother, why is it your turn to be Shi Xiaopang? ”

Guo Song is a little tasteful, this Liang Ling'er is uncomfortable because Duan Sanniang sent a bow to herself! Her subtext was, 'Duan Sanniang wants to send a bow, and it should also be given to my brother, how can it be his turn to be Daoist Guo?' ’

It seems that this little lady is bent on matching Liang Wu and Duan Sanniang, and does not allow a third party to intervene, this matter has to be explained clearly, Guo Song is unwilling to have a misunderstanding in this kind of matter.

Guo Song stepped forward and briefly said what happened yesterday, and said with a smile: "I guess it's because I lost my wooden sword, Miss Duan is a little sorry, so I want to make amends." ”

Guo Song's explanation made Liang Ling'er breathe a sigh of relief, and most of the vigilance against Guo Song in her heart was eliminated, and she pointed to the bow again: "This bow is Uncle Duan's beloved thing, it is estimated that Sanniang secretly took it out, how to deal with it, you can do it yourself?" ”

Guo Song stepped forward and took the bow from Shi Xiaopang's hand, the bow was very heavy, weighing at least twenty catties, but the lines were very smooth in all aspects, and there was no such thick feeling.

The style of the bow is simple, the workmanship is exquisite and exquisite, and it is the work of a famous craftsman at a glance.

There is no bowstring on this bow, which means that it is a collection bow, Guo Song went back to the house and took a skein bowstring, and Liang Wu worked hard to install the bowstring, he took out the wrench from his arms and put it on, and pulled the bow with both arms like a full moon, and the bowstring was loosened, 'Bang!' There was a loud bang.

Guo Song immediately tried it out, this is indeed a two-stone bow, although he can open two stones and five bucket bows, but this iron spine bow also makes him feel very comfortable, and there is a sense of satisfaction with the strength of the full.

"Miss Liang, how do you know that this is Miss Duan's father's collection?"

"What's the writing on this?" Liang Ling'er pointed to the bottom of the arch.

Only then did Guo Song notice that there was a line of very small characters engraved on the inside of the back of the bow, which was the same color as the back of the bow, and it was not easy to see if he was not careful.

The word is a small seal, the size is like a grain of rice, Guo Song recognized this line of words: 'The four towns of Anxi are high'.

Guo Song was stunned, could this be the bow of the famous general Gao Xianzhi?

But it's not surprising to think about it, Duan Xiushi is Gao Xianzhi's henchman, and after Gao Xianzhi is executed by the imperial court, his relics will of course fall into Duan Xiushi's hands.

Guo Song is a little difficult, he really likes this bow, but this is Gao Xianzhi's bow, which must have unusual commemorative significance for Duan Xiushi, Guo Song sighed, Duan Sanniang can be ignorant, but he has to send this bow back.
