Li Yanqing didn't expect the other party to give him a bow worth 1,800 taels of silver, which really embarrassed him, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The seniors have a good idea, Li Yanqing has a heart, and it is better for the juniors to buy this bow by themselves." ”

Cao Ping squinted and smiled, "Do you want me to give you Shekun?" I can't bear it. ”

Li Yanqing was helpless, so he had to salute again, "Thank you for the bow from your seniors, and the juniors will remember it in your heart." ”

At this time, the young man who followed Gao Shen gently pulled the corner of Gao Shen's clothes and reminded him: "Uncle ......."

Gao Shen laughed, and introduced Li Yanqing: "This young man is my nephew Gao Pet, is Yanqing interested in getting to know him?" ”

Li Yanqing was taken aback, is that the master of marksmanship? He looked at Gao Chong, and saw that he was about the same age as himself, with fair skin, tall and majestic, and very heroic appearance, but he looked a little shy, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Brother Gao Xian's marksmanship is superb for a long time, and I hope to give me more advice in the future." ”

Gao Zhong smiled shyly, and hurriedly bowed in return, "I am the name of Li Tanhua who has been admired for a long time." ”

Gao Shen glanced at Li Yanqing a little strangely, although his nephew's marksmanship was very powerful, he never communicated with outsiders, how could Li Yanqing know?

At this time, the shopkeeper Hu had already given the wind chasing bow a good bowstring, handed it to the old proprietor, Cao Ping looked at the bow, sighed: "This bow was collected after it was made, two years ago the original owner of the road fell, a batch of collection weapons placed here I consignment, this bow has not met the new owner until today, it is also its fate." ”

He handed the bow to Li Yanqing, the bow was in his hand, the familiar feeling was like his wife who got along in the past, Li Yanqing took a wrench and gently pulled the bowstring, only to hear a crisp sound, and the elasticity was extremely strong.

Cao Ping smiled: "The rain has stopped outside, let's go to the back to try the bow, and by the way, enjoy Li Tanhua's stunner." ”

Sure enough, the rain had stopped, and the air was wet, which was not conducive to archery, but for the masters, the impact of the weather was nothing.

There is a long and narrow courtyard behind the store, which is a weapon testing ground, of course, only members can use it, Gao Pet followed behind, and his heart was very excited, that year's bow and horse competition, he happened not to be in the capital, and missed Li Yanqing's wonderful archery, today finally has the opportunity, and he is also very much looking forward to seeing Li Yanqing's brilliant archery.

"It's a pity that it's only thirty steps, so let's play a trick!"

Cao Ping is the master, of course, he is in charge, he hung a copper coin with hemp rope on a willow tree, hidden in the middle of the dense willow branches, his face suddenly became serious, and said to Li Yanqing: "My great-grandfather is also excellent at archery, his most proud move is called 'Qian Luo Liu Jing', thirty steps away to shoot the money down, but the willow branch can not move, so he got the name 'General Liu Jing', but unfortunately the descendants of the Cao family are not good, no one can compare with the ancestors, if Li Tanhua can do it today, then I will give you the Kun bow." ”

Cao Ping's great-grandfather is the founding hero Cao Bin, famous for his excellent archery, Li Yanqing was crowned as the first arrow in the world by Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, Cao Ping was a little unconvinced, he found this opportunity today, try Li Yanqing's archery.

Gao Shen next to him understood Cao Ping's thoughts, and he also smiled, "Then I'll be a witness!" lest Brother Cao be reluctant to bow in the end. ”

"Am I reluctant to shoot a Kun bow? Brother Gao Xian underestimated me! ”

Cao Ping's excitement was hard to hide, he simply untied the sword at his waist, "This seven-star sword is one of my most beloved three swords, if Li Tanhua's archery skills can be compared to my ancestors, this sword will also be gifted." ”

Li Yanqing already understood Cao Ping's intentions, he was fighting for his ancestors! Zhao Ji crowned him as the first arrow in the world back then, and he didn't take this title to heart, but his lack of care does not mean that others do not care.

Li Yanqing felt very embarrassed, he looked at Gao Shen, Gao Shen nodded lightly, meaning to let him shoot this arrow.

Li Yanqing had to smile reluctantly, and commented to Cao: "Senior, can you let Yanqing try the new bow first?" ”

"Absolutely!"

Li Yanqing pulled out a feather arrow, pulled the bow suddenly, and shot it with his fingers, but this arrow shot at a thin bamboo pole next to him, only to hear 'click!' With a bang, the bamboo pole broke in response.

"Good archery!" Gao Pet couldn't help but praise.

He followed his uncle to Lianggong Sword Shop to buy a sword today, but he happened to meet Li Yanqing, Gao Pet practiced the marksmanship of the ancestor Gao Huaide, a dragon golden gun made it superb, but his archery skills were average, which made him very respectful of Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing loves this bow very much in his heart, although the leopard head bow is also good, but it is a bit soft, and it must be accelerated by the strength of his arms, and this bow is very tough, and the bow itself can exert a great initial velocity on the arrow, so that he can achieve speed and strength without much effort, and the speed is faster and the strength is greater.

If he said that the leopard head bow could pull the bow twenty times in one breath, and Zhang Chaifeng bow, he could easily pull thirty times, and his arm would not be sore.

What's more important is that he feels very good, which allows him to create better results.

Li Yanqing nodded to Cao Ping, "I'll start!" ”

He took a closer look at the copper coin in the willow branches, he could shoot the incense fire at night eighty paces away, shoot a hemp rope thirty paces away, there was no problem at all, the key was the willow branches that could not be touched, although it was difficult, but it was not impossible, but it was necessary to see the angle, and it was indeed possible to pass through the forest.

But there are still two difficulties to deal with, one is to prevent the arrow from changing direction after shooting the rope, and the second is to prevent the rope from not being cut, but being cut, if it is the latter, it is easy to let the copper coin swing up, so as to touch the willow branch next to it.

Li Yanqing had similar training when practicing copper bows and iron arrows, in the dense incense, shoot one of the incense, but not touch the other incense, and then shoot the rope that ties the money, so that the copper coin just falls into the teacup below, these are the courses that Zhou Tong once trained him, and today's Qian Luo Liu Jing has the same effect.

Li Yanqing took a deep breath, stared at the copper coin for a long time, and pulled the bow suddenly, his wind-chasing bow was a riding bow, and he couldn't aim calmly like a foot bow, and he was going to shoot an arrow when he opened the bow, he pulled the bow like a full moon, and an arrow was shot, the arrow speed was too fast, only to see a flash of cold light, and the copper coin fell to the ground, and the arrow was gone, but the willow branch did not move at all.

Cao Ping was stunned for a moment, he didn't see it clearly at all, at this time, Gao Pet ran over, pulled out the arrow on the opposite wall, and shouted: "The arrow is nailed to the wall." ”

Gao Shen applauded, "Wonderful, good archery!" ”

Cao Ping slowly stepped forward, picked up the copper coin from the boulder, the hemp rope was neatly cut one inch above the copper coin, which required great strength and speed, so that the rope lost its toughness, cut it directly, his great-grandfather Cao Bin also recorded in the family biography of the "Hundred Records of Archery Skills", the key to the money falling Liu Jing is to shoot the rope must be selected one or two inches above the copper coin, the speed should be fast, the strength should be large, so that the copper coin is not easy to suspension.

Of course, Li Yanqing has not read his great-grandfather's "Hundred Records of Archery Skills", but he also understands this principle, and this arrow convinces Cao Ping's heart.

"Good archery, Li Tanhua deserves to be the first arrow in the world!"

Li Yanqing bowed and gave a long salute, "The juniors are lucky to get it, which makes the seniors smile!" ”

Cao Ping nodded, and instructed the shopkeeper Hu: "Go and get the Kun Bow." ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly waved his hand, "The younger generation is already satisfied with chasing the wind, the shooting Kun bow is only suitable for collection, and it is of little use to the younger generation, and the kindness of the seniors Yanqing has it." ”

Cao Ping said lightly: "I really can't think of anyone more qualified to get the Shooting Kun Bow than the virtuous nephew, if I tell his origin, I believe the virtuous nephew will not refuse." ”

"The younger generation is willing to listen to you!"

"This bow is the fifth year of the emperor's blessing, and the first bow craftsman Duan Xiaoyu made it specially for Di Qing, do you know what happened on the fifteenth day of the first month of that year?"

"Di Qing attacked Kunlun Pass at night!" Li Yanqing blurted out.

Cao Ping nodded, "So this bow is called Shooting Kun, which means bravely shooting Kunlun, Duan Xiaoyu took four years to complete this bow, Di Qing liked the bow very much, and hung it in the study, but unfortunately he died of illness a few months later, and this bow was passed on to his eldest son Di Xuan, ten years ago, the Di family bought a house in the capital, and in order to raise money, they sold a batch of ancestral weapons to the good workshop, including this Shooting Kun bow, as well as my seven-star sword. ”

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said: "I accepted the bow, but this seven-star sword is the sword of the seniors, and the juniors really dare not accept it." ”

Gao Shen smiled beside him: "Don't give it to me, he has a lot of weapons in his collection!" There is no shortage of this sword. ”

Cao Ping glared at him, "This is one of my most beloved three treasure swords, if it weren't for my despise for Li Tanhua's archery skills, I would have taken out this sword?" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly returned the sword to him, "Since it is the beloved thing of the seniors, the younger generations dare not ask for it." ”

Cao Ping was also hot-headed and took off the sword, since Li Yanqing didn't want it again and again, he just happened to go down this step, Cao Ping had a very good impression of Li Yanqing, and after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Today I am fortunate to see Qian Luo Liu Jing's magic skills again, I want to set up a wine to celebrate, will Yanqing be free tomorrow?" ”

"Tomorrow, the juniors' official positions may have to come down, and the juniors dare not leave."

"Alright! The afternoon after tomorrow happens to be my treat, please Yanqing be sure to appreciate your face. ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "The juniors must come!" ”

Cao Ping was full of interest, and smiled at Gao Shen: "Of course, the elder brother will also come to accompany him, and the nephew will also come with me, I also want to see Qilang's marksmanship, and I will give Qilang a good sword at that time." ”

Gao Shen laughed, "Since there is a good sword gift, how can I not come?" ”[.]
