Just as the two were complimenting each other, they only heard Zhu Yang, who was standing on the side, laugh and say: "If the two of you continue to praise each other like this, there will be no boundary." Then you don't have to compete. Ay! I have a proposal, why don't you let this Mr. Ye and the Oriental shopkeeper have a peak duel today, and let the two of them compete directly. And I'll just wait to place a bet on who wins. ”

Hao Jia hurriedly responded: "Okay, good!" This proposal of Zhu Dagongzi is very good. In fact, these people are indiscriminately filling up the numbers, laughing and generous. It's better to let the two masters face off directly, and I'll bet the silver on the two of them at will. In the end, the winning side can divide the silver of the losing side equally. ”

Lu Shizi wanted to slap the two of them too late at the moment, how could he refute the face of the two yamen, and immediately responded: "This proposal is very good." Let's let the two pitchers choose 9 arrows to throw, and the one with the highest score wins. How is it? ”

Everyone present said yes. So they all followed Lu Shizi to the place of the pot throwing competition.

Before this, Ye Yunjing had been in a daze, in the clouds, in the fog and looking at the flowers. He doesn't even know the minimum rules for pitching, how do you make him play? Seeing that everyone had gone, he had no choice but to follow him.

At this moment, Dongfang Bai Zhen took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, walked up to Ye Yunjing's side and whispered: "Wait a while, you will see that I will vote first, and then you will vote again." It's the only way to do it first, to see if God will favor you, it's better to leave it to fate! ”

Although Ye Yunjing didn't understand the meaning of his words, he nodded slightly, and then followed quickly.

When they arrived at the place of the game, Lu Shizi asked Ye Yunjing and Dongfang Bai Zhen to stand at two ends, and then let everyone bet first. The outcome of the bet was a big surprise. Except for Zhu Yang, Hao Jia and Lu Shizi, the three people voted for Ye Yunjing, and the rest of the people all voted for Dongfang Baijing. The total amount of silver that the three people voted for Ye Yunjing was 5,000 taels; The other silver taels that were voted for Dongfang Baizhen were 18,000 taels. In other words, as long as Ye Yunjing wins, Zhu Yang and the other 3 people can each get 6,000 taels of silver. If Dongfang Bai wins, the 30 or so people can only share the 5,000 taels of silver, and each person only has more than 160 taels.

The problem now is that Dongfang Baijing doesn't know if Ye Yunjing has any experience in throwing pots, and even if he wants to release water, he doesn't know to what extent it is a head! It's impossible to release water without a bottom line! Doesn't this make it obvious at a glance that you're cheating?

And at such a very tense moment, Ye Yunjing became much more determined. Because although he has never played this kind of pot throwing game, he used to often play a game similar to pot throwing with Chen Xiaoyan and several other female disciples of the Red Gate, calling for throwing sandbags. It is to draw a nine-square grid on the ground, then stand three or four feet away, and throw the cloth bag with sand into the designated grid. Ye Yunjing went from 0 of 10 shots at the beginning to 10 shots of 10 shots at the end, becoming the master of sandbag throwing in the minds of those girls.

Things are often touchable, and eventually they will move in the direction of different paths. Ye Yunjing saw three copper kettles placed outside a few zhang open, each with an ear on the left and right sides of the pot. It is estimated that the feather arrows in his hand are put into those three pots, and whoever throws more will win! Although I can't fully understand the rules of the game at the moment, everything is the same. Everything is traceable. So he said to Dongfang Baiji: "Mr. Dongfang, you vote first!" I want to take a look at the gentleman's demeanor first. Hehe! You have to vote more and set an example for me as a junior! "It means tell him, you just throw it all in! Don't let me. When the time comes, I will draw a scoop according to the gourd, and proceed according to your casting method.

Dongfang Bai Zhen saw Ye Yunjing's confidence and calmness on his face, and knew that this young man must have his superiority. Maybe he asked me to pitch first, probably because he didn't know the rules of the game, but after I finished, he knew how to pitch.

After thinking about this clearly, Dongfang Bai Zhen picked up 9 feather arrows very calmly, came to stand 3 zhang away from the copper kettle, and after calming down, he was ready to start the pot throwing competition.

Nowadays, the rules of pitching pots are specified as follows: there are three copper kettles in the field: the middle pot, the left pot, and the right pot. The contestants stand three feet away from the copper kettle. Then throw the feather arrow into the spout of the middle pot first, and then into the spout of the left pot and the spout of the right pot respectively. Then put it into the 2 ears of the middle pot; 2 lugs of the left pot; The right pot is in the 2 lugs. Until all 9 feathered arrows are thrown.

The resulting score is calculated as follows: 6 points for hitting the spout of the pot; 5 points are awarded for hitting the spouts of the left and right 2 pots; 3 points for each pot ear shot. It's just a small score, the most important thing is the score of the consecutive shots, which is the important part of winning the game. Here's how many points you get for a match: 108 points for a 9-game draw; An additional 72 points can be scored on an 8-game winning streak; An additional 48 points can be scored in a 7-game row; An additional 36 points can be scored on a 6-game win; An additional 24 points can be scored in a 5-game match; An additional 18 points can be awarded for a 4-game win; An additional 12 points are awarded for a 3-game win; An additional 6 points are awarded for a 2-game win.

Dongfang Bai Zhen once threw a good result of 9 consecutive hits. Received a perfect score of 142 points. It was also his only Grand Slam since he competed in the pitch competition. In ordinary games or games, he is usually the majority of 7 in a row; There were a handful of shots that hit 8 in a row; He also had the misfortune of throwing a 6-game winning streak.

Today he was lightly armed, there was no pressure at all, since it was a competition, he had to throw every feather arrow seriously. He took a look, and the first arrow hit the spout of the pot. I saw that after the arrow pulled out a beautiful arc, it hit the ground directly and easily scored 6 points. The second arrow is thrown into the spout of the left pot, so that it is 11 points in hand, because it is a 2-game match, there is an additional point in the combo. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th arrows were all hit. Now that Dongfang Baizhen has scored 34 points, it seems that he feels very good! If it continues, it is still very possible to set another record in the 9th Arrow Company. Those who bet on him were excited. Every time he hits an arrow, they cheer as if he's already won the game.

In fact, man is a flexible animal. When you're relaxed and out of pressure, you're naturally doing really well and you're going to go above and beyond. Otherwise, it will make you feel depressed.

These people's desperate cheers actually added a lot of pressure to Dongfang Baiji. Suddenly there is a loss of calm in the heart, and mistakes will follow. His 6th and 7th arrows also barely hit the two ears in the left pot in a nervous atmosphere. But the critical 8th arrow, I don't know if it's nervous or whatever, but it was thrown into the mouth of the middle pot. Although it can be regarded as a hit, it is also not considered a vote in the wrong place. In this way, this time, his best result can only be 7 consecutive hits. Even if the last 1 arrow hits, it will be useless.
