Since that day, Zhang Xingcai has never been here again, although Jiang Wei felt slightly disappointed, but he knew that he could not live up to her hard work, so he put his mind away and redevoted himself to the high-load practice.

Soon to go north to Hanzhong, pacify Wudu, Yinping two counties, the local Qiang people advocate such as Ma Chao general martial arts heroes, if you can understand the stone arrow before the departure of such a trick, will make the success rate of this trip greatly increased.

Driven by such a strong desire, he gradually increased his intensity to 400 bows a day, and although he was extremely tired afterwards, as long as he applied the ointment in time, he could always return to his appearance the next day.

With the help of the ointment, by the tenth day of practice, he had been able to open the iron bow five times in one breath; on the fifteenth day it was increased to seven; On the twentieth day, he was finally able to open nine shots in a row, and the intensity of four hundred strokes a day was no longer a problem.

On the twentieth day, Zhuge Liang sent someone to send news that the imperial court had decided to set the summer May 30 ten days later as the day when the brigade set off from Hanzhong.

Time is already extremely limited, and the situation cannot be delayed.

Jiang Wei gritted his teeth and suddenly increased the intensity of the exercise to five hundred times a day. He will make a final attempt in ten days.

If he got up early and greedy for darkness, on the morning of the 27th, he smelled the rooster dancing as usual, and after a little movement of his muscles and bones, suddenly he saw a light in front of him, the spiritual platform was empty, and his limbs and hundreds of bones immediately poured into his inexhaustible strength.

Jiang Wei knew that this was a unique state of epiphany when the martial arts were practiced to a certain extent and on the verge of breakthrough, which was the most mysterious and precious.

At the moment, he held his breath, held the bow in his hand, bent his knees and tugged in his abdomen, and suddenly exerted his strength-

With the continuous "click" sound of the iron bow being pressed, the bow body changed rapidly in Jiang Wei's hands, like a full moon, and suddenly flat as ever, the bowstring couldn't help shaking, so fast that it was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

This time, he opened the bow ten times in a row, and found that he still had the strength to spare, so he didn't stop, and fought hard five more times before he ran out—

After nearly a month, he finally achieved the goal that Huang Zhong gave him.

When the east was not yet open, Jiang Wei held the bow in his hand, full of fierceness, only to feel a heroic spirit rising to the sky, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.

This roar is as straight as a dragon's roar, a tiger's roar in the deep valley, roaring to a high-pitched place, and suddenly a whim, as if there is a voice in his heart that can't help but call.

With his heart moving at will, he put down his longbow and picked up the green spear that he hadn't held for a long time.

The green heavy gun weighed sixty-eight pounds, and in the past, he needed to spend a lot of energy to make it out; But this time, he only felt that the big gun seemed to have lost a few points after he got his hands, and he waved it, and he was full of tigers; Pick and twist slowly, the gun is fast if you want to be fast, slow if you want to be slow, do whatever you want, go smoothly, and there is no moment of delay.

From pulling the bow fifteen times to practicing marksmanship, there is only a small tea kung fu before and after.

After the tea effort, this state of epiphany like "madness" immediately receded like a tide.

Jiang Wei's eyes were blanked as he looked at the spear in his hand, and he was still feeling the moment in his mind.

No matter what, the green sinking marksmanship that made him suffer a lot along the way and almost made him discouraged was finally taught to practice it!

He knew all of this, the result of a month of hard practice drawing the bow.

Previously, he ran thousands of miles in Jingzhou, fought several chaotic battles, and fought to the death with Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, and his vision and martial arts had already reached a new height.

But after all, he was only nineteen years old, and his strength had not yet fully grown, which became a bottleneck and shackles that prevented him from going further.

The power of the copper tire iron back bow is up to five stones, and opening such a bow requires the muscles, muscles, bones, and epithelia of the whole body.

In the past month, under his insistence on daily practice, his waist, chest, back, arms, legs, wrists, and even fingers have been greatly exercised, and his strength has increased day by day.

Finally, on this day, the accumulation of weekdays reached a node on the verge of a breakthrough.

He decisively grasped this feeling, and so, the bottleneck that had been in front of him for several months, blocking the further progress of his martial arts, disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Jiang Wei held a bow in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, standing silently.

He had never been more confident than he was now, as if nothing in the world could stop him—a calmness that came from within.

"It's time to find General Huang and ask for advice on the true meaning of shooting stone arrows."

******

Outside Jinguan City, in a deserted forest.

Huang Zhong and Jiang Wei were old and young, each riding a horse and standing up.

Huang Zhong's face was complicated, and he sighed: "I don't want you to open the bow fifteen times in a row in just one month, and your spirit is also refreshed, alas, you are really talented, and you are thousands of miles a day." ”

Jiang Wei clasped his fists and said humbly: "The juniors just follow the instructions of the old general and practice diligently. ”

Huang Zhong bowed his head slowly and said: "Since you can reach an agreement, the old man will naturally not break his promise, so I will teach you the subtleties of archery, boy, listen well." ”

I saw that the old general straightened his back, and said with a straight face: "Li Guang shoots stones, if you only want to be fierce and fast, and you are excited, then wouldn't anyone who has a few hundred catties of brute force will use it?" In fact, otherwise, you must know that people can dodge and move, and powerful generals know how to avoid arrows. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Zhonghu pointed to the sparrow chirping in the forest, and said: "For example, although this sparrow is small, it has a quick reaction and is good at tossing and turning, and it is extremely difficult to shoot. “

Jiang Wei got the order, nodded, opened his bow and aimed at the sparrow fifty paces away, and shot it loosely.

The arrow shot out with all its might, fast and urgent, and before the arrow arrived, the strong wind had already broken through the air.

But the sparrow seemed to be able to feel the strong wind that was coming, and fluttered its wings among the chirps, and taught it to dodge.

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and said: "Look, the finch is still like this, but what about people? Therefore, if you want to shoot an unstoppable and unavoidable arrow, you first need to be able to send and receive a thousand arrows freely, which you can do now; What still needs to be tempered at the moment is the vision to predict the enemy's next move, which is the root of this arrow. ”

"Did you predict?" Jiang Wei couldn't help but say: "It's a bit similar to what the master said, 'anticipate the enemy first', but this is what I'm good at." ”

After thinking about it, Huang Zhong suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Boy, you have a good look! ”

After saying this, he instigated his horses to run in the opposite direction of the sparrow, and as he galloped, he drew an arrow and put it on it.

When he ran a hundred steps away from the sparrow, Huang Zhong turned around suddenly, his body was half leaning on the horse's back, and he drew his bow like a full moon, and suddenly shot out sharply.

This arrow is like a meteor catching the moon, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the yellow finch on the branch suddenly realizes that something is wrong, and spreads its wings to dodge.

But as soon as his feet left the branch, the arrow flew just five inches above the branch and hit him right in the head.

Before the sparrow could scream, an arrow pierced its body, and its feathers flew everywhere.

When Jiang Wei saw all this, he felt fascinated and excited.

Huang Zhong's arrow is not only powerful and heavy, but also able to predict the altitude at which the sparrow is about to take off, which is very rare.

It must be known that the sparrow a hundred steps away is already difficult to see, and he mostly relies on his feelings to make such accurate judgments. Without decades of fire, it would be difficult to display such magical skills.

Jiang Wei admired at the moment: "With this arrow alone, even if the younger generation practices for another twenty years, it will be difficult to look at the old general." ”

Huang Zhong's face was colorful, he gently stroked his snow-white beard, and slowly rode his horse around.

"Your talent is what the old man has seen in his life, as long as you think about it more and practice more, you can naturally practice."

Jiang Wei nodded, took out an arrow from his horse bag, and was about to try again.

At this time, Huang Zhong suddenly handed over the longbow in his hand and said contemplatively: "Try it with this bow." ”

Jiang Wei was not polite, he reached out to take it, and when he started it, he felt that this bow was much lighter than the copper tire iron back bow; After a little look, I saw that the longbow was dark on the outside, the bow body was made of bamboo, copper and iron, and the bowstring was kneaded by cow tendon silk thread; Rough and thick, there is about four stone strength, strength and softness, compared to the copper tire iron back bow, it is like a sky, an underground.

He didn't dare to hold it up, so he took a deep breath, sat quietly on the back of the horse, squinted and drew his bow to look at it.

Fifty paces away, a flock of sparrows was making a fuss, unaware of the approaching danger.

Jiang Wei held his breath, pulled his bow and arrows, but he didn't shoot for a long time, he was carefully recalling all Huang Zhong's movements, and he was also carefully observing the trajectory and range of the sparrow's movements.

He maintained this movement for about half a cup of tea, and he did not move at all.

Huang Zhong not only did not urge, but his face showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help but bow his head slowly.

The flock of sparrows seemed to begin to quarrel, and one of the gray sparrows crowded the territory of the yellow sparrows, and the yellow sparrows spread their wings and flew to swoop down to drive them away.

At this moment, Jiang Wei's eyes suddenly widened, the right finger of the control line suddenly loosened, and the long arrow cut through the wind and waves, hitting the gray sparrow in the direction.

Where the arrow went, the gray sparrow jumped lightly and dodged; But the yellow sparrow, as if deliberately sending its body up, happened to fly to the place where the arrow fell, and was immediately shot to pieces.

Huang Zhong stroked his palms and laughed: "The children can be taught, the children can be taught!" Zilong was able to get such a good apprentice in his later years, and there are successors, he is really envious of the old man! ”

Through this shot, Jiang Wei had already grasped the feeling of nothingness, and this time he heard the old general's praise, and immediately hugged his fists and replied: "How can the younger generation be virtuous, the old general will not hesitate to give advice." ”

After that, he had to return the longbow.

Huang Zhong waved his hand and said: "The name of this bow is 'Yangyouji Bow', which is rumored to be used by the former archers to raise Youji, and it is also a treasure bow that follows the old man's life, and with the armor-breaking cone, it can break the seven-fold hard armor within 100 steps......"

After a pause, he said with emotion: "The old man is a person who has one foot in the ground, does he bring the treasures of his ancestors to the burial?" It's so tyrannical. Since you can realize that you can shoot a stone arrow, it shows that you are destined to be a person, and I will give it to you today. ”

Jiang Wei was taken aback and excused himself: "Maybe Shaoxian (Huo Yizi) is more suitable for admiring this bow than the younger generation." ”

Huang Zhong shook his head and said: "Shao Xian is smart and calm, he is a temperament who practices archery, but his talent is limited, and he can't open such a strong bow......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly stared at Jiang Wei and said: "Looking at the younger generation of the Han Dynasty, the only person who can use this bow and practice exquisite archery skills is you, Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyo." You put it away, remember to serve the great man in the future, but don't let the bow be dusted. ”

Jiang Wei felt the old general's concern, and he felt inexplicably grateful. He is not a person who twists, and immediately bowed and said: "In this case, it is better for the younger generation to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”

Putting the bow into the bag, the two rode back to the city one after the other.

Huang Zhong's skills have been inherited, and at this time, his heart is gone, and he can't stop laughing along the way.
