After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, all nine people except Xiao Yu had already stepped onto the stage.

Nine sturdy men who are almost all in the water, except for the Taoist priest who loves to pretend. The Taoist priest was standing there looking around, and when he saw Xiao Yu looking at him, he smiled flatteringly.

"Okay, everyone is here, then I'll talk about the rules first," the leading disciple said, "The second level is very simple, just throw the feather arrows on the Hu table into the pitcher." ”

"Each person has a total of ten feather arrows, and the one who invests more wins, but the position of the pitcher is different, there are far and near, and if all ten feather arrows are invested, it is more than who has more feather arrows in the farther pitcher."

The leading disciple explained a lot.

Pitching the pot is a traditional ritual and feasting game that has continued from the pre-Qin period to the present, and the pitching ceremony comes from the shooting ceremony. Because the courtyard is not wide enough, it is not enough to place the hoof; or because of the large number of guests, it is not enough to prepare a bow coupling; Or some guests really don't know how to shoot arrows, so they use pitching pots instead of bending bows, so as to entertain guests and learn etiquette.

Pitching pots, Xiao Yu is no stranger. When the snow closed the mountains in winter, Xiao Yu often entertained himself alone in the skyscraper, and even the master would occasionally play a game or two.

At first glance, these strong men are the masters who often drink and play with this, and they all have disapproving expressions.

"Okay, let's get started, first please."

Dozens of pitchers in the field stood in different places, densely lined up. The farthest distance is about three zhang away from where the thrower is standing, and the nearest is also one zhang away.

It shouldn't be that simple, people who play this often should be easy to throw in, Xiao Yu thought to himself.

The first big man walked to the throwing place, stretched out his hand to take the feather arrow, and was stunned, and looked at the Sheyu sect disciple next to him suspiciously.

The Sheyu Sect disciple was expressionless, and stretched out his hand, "Please." ”

The strong man was helpless, shook his head, moved his wrist, and was about to start.

The strong man's subtle performance did not escape Xiao Yu's eyes, and he was calm at the moment and observed carefully.

The crowd waiting under the high stage was also waiting quietly.

"Whoosh"

The first feathered arrow was taken out of the strong man's hand.

But as soon as the feather arrow was shot, it floated into the air and landed gently in the distance before the first pitcher.

"Hahaha"

Someone in the audience was laughing uncontrollably, and you don't have to guess to know who it is.

The strong man glared back in the direction of the laughter, took a deep breath, and carefully threw the second feather arrow.

"Da"

The feather arrow still landed lightly in front of the first pitcher.

"Hahaha" The audience laughed even more.

The strong man was a little anxious, frowned, held the third feather arrow in his right hand, squinted his right eye, and aimed for a while.

But.

The feathered arrow still fell to the ground.

Soon the fourth, fifth, sixth...

Without exception, all the feather arrows were missed, and by the last one, the strong man had run out of patience, so he threw it into the air at will, and walked directly off the high platform with a gloomy face.

"Hahaha", "Hee-hee-hee-hee"

The people under the high stage didn't care much about the mood of the strong man.

The Sheyu Sect disciple didn't seem to be surprised, and without saying much, he stretched out his hand directly to the second person, "Please." ”

The second person was a young man with a somewhat sickly face, and he didn't know what method he had used to shoot down the copper coins in the ingots.

The young man was a little hesitant to see the performance of the first person, but he still reached out and took the feather arrow.

......

After less than a tea time, the somewhat sick young man also followed in the footsteps of the first strong man, and walked down dejectedly, and soon the third person came on the field.

The order of playing is determined according to the quality of the first level, Xiao Yu is the last, and in front of Xiao Yu is the Taoist priest who loves to play music.

The Taoist priest turned his head and looked at Xiao Yu evilly, "The young man is very skilled, have you seen any mystery in this?" ”

Xiao Yu was stunned and shook his head reflexively.

Hearing this, the Taoist priest showed a very unsettling expression on his face, "No, the young man hasn't seen it yet?" According to the poor road, there must be something wrong with this arrow, and it will not work with the throwing method of ordinary feather arrows, according to the poor road..."

This Taoist priest is too good at being in the limelight, thinking that he doesn't know that there is a problem with the feather arrow, and he began to show off endlessly, and he saw it at the beginning.

Xiao Yu watched the fifth person throw the feather arrow, ignoring the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest felt bored, muttered a sentence and watched.

Sixth...

The seventh...

The eighth...

Soon there will be that Taoist priest.

The best result among the first eight people was to throw 4 in the nearest pitcher, which attracted applause from the audience.

The Taoist priest shook his robe very angrily, walked straight to the throwing line, and without waiting for the people of the Nangong faction to speak, he reached out and picked up the ten feather arrows on the table.

"Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, Poor Dao has already figured out the secret of this arrow, and he doesn't dare to say anything else," the Taoist priest stretched out the thumb and index finger of his right hand, "to ensure that at least eight can be thrown." ”

"Okay, the Taoist priest is good, I can see that I am not an ordinary person when I hit the ingots just now."

"Okay, let's get started."

"Cut." This should be Han Liyan.

The Taoist priest waved his hand very stylishly, and the crowd instantly fell silent.

The Taoist priest held a feather arrow, and he didn't even aim at it, but shot it when he changed hands.

"Oops" There were people in the crowd who felt sorry for the recklessness of the Taoist priest.

The feather arrow drew a graceful arc in the air, and the arc attracted everyone's attention.

This time the Taoist priest did not say anything big.

Feather arrows, feather arrows landed an inch to the left of the spout of the pitcher, and slid down the pitcher.

"Hah, let's talk big."

"Haha."

"People don't talk big, aren't there at least eight of them, and this is only one."

The Taoist priest looked at the feather arrow in his hand a little surprised, his face turned red, he ignored the ridicule below, put away his frivolous expression, and the second one immediately struck.

"Smack" this time the feather arrow accurately into the pot.

The Taoist priest looked at the field proudly, but his subordinates did not stop, and immediately the third and fourth teams, often the front one did not land, and the latter one immediately shot.

"Smack" The last one fell to the ground.

This time the Taoist priest really didn't lie, he really threw into the eight branches.

"Awesome"

"Good"

Not to mention the crowd in the audience, even the Sheyu disciples on the stage looked at the Taoist priest with appreciation.

The Taoist priest still shook off his robe first, stood aside with his head held high, and looked at Xiao Yu defiantly.

It's finally Xiao Yu's turn to appear.

"Ah, that young man has appeared."

"Do a good job"

"Come on, Brother Xiao"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, walked to the throwing place, picked up a feather arrow and put it in the palm of his hand to feel it carefully.

As I expected, this arrow was much lighter than ordinary feather arrows, and it was almost weightless in the palm of my hand, like a feather, which was no wonder that the first few people couldn't throw it. Even the nearest pitcher is a foot away, and if you want to accurately put a feather into the pitcher, you must rely on the help of Daoqi. This Sheyu faction is really strange, this is obviously a test of a person's accurate grasp of Dao Qi.

Others may be a little difficult, but Xiao Yu is the one who bears the secret method of the Tiancang Sutra.

Everyone was quietly waiting for Xiao Yu to make a move.

Okay, then use this to test my mastery of Dao Qi.

Xiao Yu has made a move!

The first feather arrow was filled with Dao Qi and flew in a straight line in the air. The feathered arrow quickly crossed the first pitcher, followed by the second, the third...

In the end, the feather arrow did not hesitate to throw into the farthest last pitcher!

The crowd was in an uproar.

Xiao Yu looked at his hands and expressed satisfaction.

Soon, Xiao Yu threw all the feather arrows, and all the feather arrows were thrown close to the last pitcher without exception!

The Taoist priest opened his mouth wide and remained motionless.

The crowd in the audience was boiling, with whistles, applause, and cheers one after another, among which Han Liyan shouted the loudest.

The leading Sheyu sect disciple had been completely shocked, and finally came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Yu with admiration.

Waiting for the crowd to quiet down, the leading Sheyu sect disciple walked to the center of the high platform and glanced at Xiao Yu with a complicated look, "I announce that the winner of the second game is this young man." According to the palace master's arrangement, we will give the young man fifty taels of gold plus one thousand taels of silver! ”

"Okay, now let's go to the last level of "Soaring into the Sky", and invite this young man and Dao Leader to come here," the leading Sheyu Sect disciple ignored the noise from the audience, stood under the high and terrifying soft ladder and continued, "Only two people scored more than half in the second game, so there were only two in the last game. ”

When the Taoist priest heard this, he first smiled awkwardly at Xiao Yu, and then raised his eyes to observe the soft ladder.

The last level is this soft ladder that is more than ten feet high.

"The rules are simple, whoever takes the least time to climb to the top of the soft ladder and return safely wins."

Xiao Yu looked up, he had a skyscraper pace, just a dozen feet, it was just a piece of cake for himself, but that Taoist priest was...

The Taoist priest's face is not good, his original exercises are not as good as Xiao Yu, and he is not very good at footwork, which is a big challenge for himself.

"Okay, do you two still have questions? If not, we're ready to start. "The leading Sheyu sect disciple said.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu moved his muscles and bones and made preparations.

"I have a problem," the Taoist priest said suddenly, "Is it too late for me to give up now?" ”

Abandon?

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked. This is not in line with the style of the Taoist priest, shouldn't he pose first, then make a bold statement, and finally pose again?

"Of course it's too late, it's just that it's not easy to race all the way here, and the Taoist has to think about it." The leading Sheyu sect disciple is a little unclear.

"I think about it, I don't need to compare, this is not what I'm good at, it's a waste of time to compare pure pieces, besides, I've already won a lot of copper coins for nothing, it's enough," the Taoist priest smiled flatteringly at Xiao Yu, his face still had that unbeaten expression, "Congratulations to the young man, it's really gratifying." ”

Xiao Yu smiled faintly, "Thank you for your acceptance, ashamed, ashamed." ”

Although this Taoist priest loves to play music, he is very familiar with current affairs, and Xiao Yu's good impression of him has greatly increased.

At this time, a Sheyu sect disciple ran from behind and whispered something in the ear of the leading disciple. The leading disciple was shocked when he heard this, looked at Xiao Yu and the Taoist priest with envious eyes, and then walked to the center of the high platform.

"Folks, because of the reason that the Taoist gave up, the three levels have been over, and the winner is this young man," the leader stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Yu, "I announce that this meeting is officially over, and you can continue to eat snacks here. ”

"Okay, great."

"There's something to eat."

It seems that all living beings are still more interested in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and who wins and who loses at the conference will soon be forgotten, and they will go all out to compete for the small snacks that are distributed.

The leading disciple walked up to Xiao Yu and the Taoist priest, "Congratulations to this young man, in addition, our palace master has prepared a thin wine in the mansion." Our palace master has always been bold and married, and I invite the two of you to appreciate the light. ”

"Well said, well said." Taoist priests are more free and easy.

"This..."Xiao Yu turned around and wanted to find Han Liyan.

"This young man, we also invited your friend, and now he is in the carriage." The leader smiled slightly.

The little tricks he and Han Liyan performed had long been seen through, and Xiao Yu was a little unnatural.

Alas, then let's go, it just so happens that I also want to meet the dignity of this palace master of the Sheyu faction who likes to be unconventional, thinking of this, Xiao Yu stretched out his hand, "Please." ”

"Please."

"Please."
