Chapter 22: The Rivers and Lakes

Night.

Qingyunzhai is bordered by the river in the west, there are bamboos in the north mountain, and giant trees are covered in the east, and it is located in a deep valley.

Although it was July, the night was cool and quiet.

The sticky Xiao Jiuniang has slept with Aunt Chun in the east chamber, and Lin Ning lives alone in the west chamber, and the oil lamp in the house has not been extinguished at the moment.

On the wooden table in front of him lay a thin, yellowed book.

This is the "Arrow Sutra" given to him today by Fang Lin, the second master of Qingyun Village.

Just fragments, of course.

Fang Linyan said that the "Arrow Sutra" originally came from the Western Qin Divine Arrow Villa, containing the world's highest archery secret method, but later the Divine Arrow Villa was destroyed by the Black Ice Platform, and the "Arrow Sutra" was lost.

However, as long as the ordinary bow and arrow practice in the "Arrow Sutra" can be studied thoroughly, it will also have extremely strong lethality.

Lin Ning opened the book, roughly browsed it, and found that practicing archery was far from being as simple as he imagined, not just tearing the bowstring and shooting out.

It is necessary to practice the eyes, palms, shoulders, body, and feet, and practice everything in the body!

And to practice courage first, because "the courage of the heart, the art of the heart, the lack of courage is the heart of the heart, a benefit, the ears, eyes, hands and siblings are not mine."

In short, even if you want to become the most ordinary archer, it will take two or three years to practice diligently every day.

And if you want to practice to the realm of the second master Fang Lin, it takes decades of hard work to slowly polish it.

But obviously, Lin Ning didn't need it.

Thinking of the word "Heavenly Dao", a panel appeared in front of me:

Lin Ning: Lv 2 (10/20)

Merit Value: 10

Strength: 42 Dexterity: 19 Intelligence: 8 Charisma: 4

Skill Column:

Qiankun Jin: Small Achievements (0/150)

The Book of Herbs: Small Successes (0/120)

Another dialog box appears:

Found a fragment of the Book of Arrows, did you study? Merit Points Required: 2

There is no doubt that Lin Ning chose "yes".

In the midst of the reckless dragon and snake, he can't pin all his hopes on a woman.

Despite the woman's sturdy mess......

But in Lin Ning's opinion, the only affection that Tian Wuniang had for him was only gratitude and admiration for his parents.

Tian Wuniang's biological mother died early, and her relationship with her stepmother, who is Jiuniang's biological mother, was mediocre, but Ning loved her very much, took her by her side, and pampered her as her own daughter.

This is also one of the important reasons why the original Lin Xiaoning hated Wu Niang, jealousy.

Ning couldn't speak before he died, but he looked at Wu Niang and pointed at Lin Xiaoning with his finger.

It is this entrustment that makes Tian Wuniang responsible for Lin Xiaoning.

will tolerate his misdeeds to this day......

Lin Ning didn't disbelieve in Tian Wuniang, but he was a human being, how could he put all the pressure on the shoulders of a girl?

As the merit value on the panel decreased by two points, Lin Ning felt that the three meridians of Yangming, Shaoyang, and Sun on the outer arm and the three meridians of Yin, Shaoyin, and Taiyin on the inner arm were faintly different.

The understanding of bows and arrows in my mind suddenly has a preliminary understanding.

Let's take a look at the addition of an option in the skill bar:

Arrow Sutra (Fragment): First Glimpse of the Door (0/6)

Because it is a fragment, it only takes 6 merit points to upgrade, and Lin Ning will not be stingy.

Today, I earned a total of 10 merit points, which is too far from upgrading the Hundred Herbs Sutra and Qiankun Jin, so it is better to upgrade the "Arrow Sutra", and if you want to come to the realm of small success, you will have more self-protection power.

In addition, I was able to go into the mountains to hunt alone.

After confirming the upgrade again, Lin Ning felt that there were some changes in his mind and arm meridians, and at this time, the data on the panel also changed again:

Lin Ning: Lv 2 (10/20)

Merit: 2

Strength: 42 Dexterity: 19 Intelligence: 8 Charisma: 4

Skill Column:

Qiankun Jin: Small Achievements (0/150)

The Book of Herbs: Small Successes (0/120)

Arrow Sutra (Fragment): Small Success (0/80)

Looking down at the arm that seemed to be a little thicker, a smile curled into the corner of Lin Ning's mouth.

With countless experiences in the bow and arrow in his mind, Lin Ning is confident that he can now hit a still life within fifty steps!

Even if it is aimed at a person or object that is moving, it is 80% sure that it will be shot.

For a while, he always wanted to touch a bow to have a good time......

Lin Ning suddenly "remembered" that there seemed to be a big bow hanging on the wall of his father Lin Long's room.

Although Lin Long does not mainly use bows and arrows, he is a bandit leader after all, and he is also skilled in bows and horses.

Thinking of this, Lin Ning held the oil lamp and went to the main bedroom, which had been vacant for several years.

After pushing the door with a "squeak", a strange but extremely intimate and familiar feeling hit his heart, and Lin Ning couldn't help but sigh a little.

The training stick behind the door is especially there, and there is no sound of calling children in front of the pond.

In the memory of the original Lin Xiaoning, he obviously has a deep affection for his parents.

A large part of the reason why Lin Xiaoning hates and hates Wu Niang so much is because of his parents' jealousy of Wu Niang's preference......

The "past" was unbearable, Lin Ning no longer recalled, walked to the east wall, and saw the big bow with horns in the "memory" next to a picture of a lady.

Placing the oil lamp on the table, and after removing the bow, he pulled the string vigorously.

With the foundation of his current second-rate master, he didn't have to work hard to pull out this big bow.

Facing the window, as soon as he let go, there was a "collapse".

A familiar and powerful feeling!

Lin Ning was satisfied with the big bow in his hand, the ancient bow was divided by stones.

A stone bow requires one hundred and twenty pounds of arm strength.

For ordinary archers, pulling a stone bow is already a strong soldier.

Huang Zhong, the general of the Three Kingdoms and Five Tigers, used a three-stone strong bow.

And the big bow with horns in Lin Ning's hand should be five stones!

The bow body made of bison horn can withstand the internal strength bonus.

Holding the big bow in his hand, Lin Ning was very happy in his heart.

Although Zhou Shi and Zeng Niu were able to beat up violently last time, it was because they took advantage of the two of them.

If you really want to open your means to the enemy, Lin Ning is definitely not an opponent of the two.

But now......

It's not hard to shoot them.

"Ning'er?"

Suddenly, a suspicious voice came from the window under the porch, it was Aunt Chun's voice.

Lin Ning hurriedly responded: "Aunt Chun, it's me." ”

He was a little annoyed, forgetting that every night Aunt Chun would come to his room to see if he was sleeping peacefully and whether he had covered the futon.

Then they will see that he is gone, and come out to seek him.

Aunt Chun was really a little annoyed, she came in from outside, looked at Lin Ning holding a big bow, and said in surprise: "Ning'er, you don't sleep, what are you going to do?" You...... Don't do anything stupid! At the end, his voice trembled.

She thought that Lin Ning still wanted to go to Yulin City again to knock on the customs and avenge her father.

Lin Ning hurriedly said: "Aunt Chun thought a lot, but she got the guidance of the third uncle during the day and began to learn the bow and arrow, and she couldn't sleep at night, so she remembered that there was a strong bow in her father's house, so she came over to take a look." ”

When Aunt Chun heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "It's not appropriate for a good man to learn a bow and arrow from Laoshizi?" ”

Lin Ning said with a smile: "We are bandits, we always have to have some self-defense skills, there is really a case, I can also protect Aunt Chun and Jiuniang to escape." ”

Aunt Chun was moved when she heard this, and said, "Ning'er has really grown up...... but doubted: "Such a big bow, can you pull it open?" Why don't I ask someone for a small bow for you? ”

Lin Ning smiled and said, "Aunt Chun, don't look down on people!" ”

With that, he pulled the strong bow in his hand into a full moon.

"Ouch!"

Aunt Chun was surprised when she saw it, and said continuously: "How can Ning'er have such great strength? How could Ning'er have such great strength? ”

Lin Ning said with a smile: "It's still thanks to Aunt Chun, I've been asking dragon blood rice to replenish my body all these years, so I have grown such a great strength." ”

When Aunt Chun heard this, she became more and more happy, and said, "Okay, well, I don't want to be faceless in the past few years, and I go to fight with them every day." It would be nice if the big boss and his wife saw that you are today! ”

Lin Ning was about to be relieved, but suddenly the color of the ground changed, Huo Ran turned his head and looked in the direction of the window.

Aunt Chun didn't understand what she meant, so she saw Lin Ning step forward and pushed open the window, and she could see a fire rising in the direction of the mountain gate.

"Oh my God!"

Aunt Chun is an old man in the cottage, and she doesn't know what the fire at the mountain gate means at this time, and she said in a trembling voice: "Something's wrong, there's an accident, Ning'er, something is going to happen...... What can I do, Wu Niang is not at home, there is no one at home, Ning'er, ......"

Lin Ning's face was grim and awe-inspiring, he put the big bow behind his back, took Aunt Chun's hand with one hand, and said while striding out: "Aunt Chun, don't worry, it's okay, the third uncle is at home, and I'm here too!" ”

Aunt Chun's body was trembling, she was an old man in the cottage, and I don't know how many people had heard of the tragic situation of the mountain people after the cottage was destroyed.

Not to mention, the Shahai Village next door was still usurped by his own family, and what happened was worse than that of a beast.

She is not afraid of herself, so she can't kill herself before being captured, but how can she watch Lin Ning and Jiuniang being killed?

Lin Ning saw that she was too frightened to do it, so he bowed down and carried her on his back, and said in a deep voice: "Aunt Chun really doesn't have to be afraid, you and Xiao Jiu'er hide here first, and I will go down to find the third uncle." If it is really true, we will go into the back mountain and wait for Wu Niang and Fourth Uncle to come back. It's going to be fine, don't worry. ”

"Ning'er, you can't go alone, it's dangerous!"

When Aunt Chun heard Lin Ning's words, her fear in her heart decreased slightly, but she grabbed Lin Ning's clothes and didn't let go.

Lin Ning smiled and said, "Aunt Chun, you also said that I grew up, I am a man, the last man of the Lin family, this cottage, surnamed Lin." ”

At this time, the fire at the mountain gate had already reached the sky, and the shouts of killing had also been heard.

The door of the east chamber was opened, and the murderous Cui'er came out with Jiuniang with tears on her face, and was obviously stunned when she saw Lin Ning carrying Aunt Chun on her back.

Jiuniang shouted out in surprise and shouted: "Aunt Chun and brother-in-law didn't leave me, Aunt Chun and brother-in-law didn't leave me!" ”

Cui'er's face was full of embarrassment, but Lin Ning ignored it, and after putting Aunt Chun down, she said to Cui'er in a deep voice: "Protect Aunt Chun and Jiuniang, if you see that something is not violated, if someone goes up the mountain, go to the back mountain bamboo forest." I'll come ...... then."

Aunt Chun was still not at ease and didn't want Lin Ning to go, but Lin Ning just hugged her, leaned over and hugged Jiuniang, who had not yet faded in grievances and horrors on her little face, and then strode down the north mountain with a big bow with horns on her back.

This year, the young man's arrow was not properly applied, and he was already in the rivers and lakes when he went out.
