Jianyue made an angry expression, but for some reason, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart, she pursed her lips and grimaced at Heyu.

But at this moment, the female warrior suddenly got up, took advantage of Heyu's inattention, and used the same method to tightly grasp Heyu's wrist holding the wooden sword, she dragged down hard, and pulled Heyu's whole person down, Heyu fell straight down, and was lying on the female warrior's body, only to see the samurai a rabbit kicking the eagle, kicking Heyu's lower abdomen with both feet and kicking upward, kicking Heyu's whole person out.

When Heyu fell to the ground, he realized that he had fallen into the ring.

At this time, the sound of the gong sounded, and Fenluo stood up from the seat on the high platform and announced to everyone, "In the first battle of the Shenwu trial, the shield armor fight, and Yan Heyu was defeated. ”

He Yu was ashamed and angry, and punched the ground hard, he felt that the crowd was full of ridicule and ridicule for him, he lowered his head and walked away from the field.

"Heyu!" Jianyue chased after her, grabbed Heyu's sleeve, she helped Heyu pat the dust on her body, tilted her head, raised her head to look at Heyu, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were full of admiration, "You are so good, you almost won!" ”

He Yu was very annoyed and looked very depressed, "Hmph, but I still lost, are you happy now......"

"Hee-hee, I'll be unhappy if you win, but I'll be even more unhappy if you're powerless to be beaten and lose!" Jianyue held Heyu's hand tightly, shook his arm and said, "Hehe, this result is the best!" Well! The best! ”

"Hey, it's a pity......" He Yu shook his head and didn't say anything, just returned to the edge of the square lonely.

"Brother Xiao Xun, I'm ...... Ay...... I was careless......" Heyu was very depressed.

Zhang Xun comforted: "It's okay, you're already very powerful, no one would have thought that you could fight like this, you almost won." ”

"Hey, that's careless...... careless......" Heyu still regretted.

"That's it! It's my turn next! Zhang Xun stretched his waist, as if he was confident.

Shuang Di grabbed Zhang Xun's hand and said with a firm gaze: "Brother Xiao Xun, come on!" ”

"Hmmm! Believe me! I'm going to win! ”

The second trial is about archery, and the rules are very simple. Outside the bamboo forest on the north side of the square, every twenty steps from a high place with a rope to hang a target, shoot a target twenty steps away, count one point, shoot a target forty steps away, count two points, and so on, shoot a target a hundred steps away, count five points, a total of five arrows, after the shooting is calculated score, the score is more, if the five arrows are tied after the tie, one arrow and one arrow continue to shoot until the winner is divided.

Zhang Xun squinted his eyes, looked at the target a hundred steps away, and couldn't help but say, "Tut-tut, this is too......"

I saw that the so-called target was nothing more than a ball of grass not much bigger than a peach, the grass ball was very light, and it was swaying back and forth in the air with the wind, and it was a fantasy to shoot this small ball of grass from a hundred steps away.

Zhang Xun greeted the boiling voices and slowly walked towards the arena, drawing a white line on the edge of the arena, which was the starting point of shooting.

To the left of the white line, there are various types of bows, including long-arm bows, short hunting bows, and recurve bows. To the right of the white line are different types of crossbows, wooden, copper, one-handed, two-handed, dazzling.

Zhang Xun shook his head and said to himself, "It's the first time in my life that I've seen so many styles of bows and crossbows. ”

"Hehe, choose the one you have at your fingertips."

At some point, Chen Yin also came to the arena, holding a short bow of Aoki in his hand and carrying a quiver on his back, which contained only five red feather arrows.

"Elder Chen." Zhang Xun saluted and asked with some confusion: "Could it be that I want to face you down?" ”

"Exactly." Chen Yin replied, "The Yue Nu people have always attached importance to the Shenwu trial, and will definitely send the strongest people to participate in the trial, although I was originally an outsider, but now I am already a member of the Yue Nu clan, after I came to the Yue Nu Mountain, I learned the archery skills of the Yue Nu clan, and the techniques are more sophisticated, and now I am temporarily the first shooter of the Yue Nu clan while I am not old and dead." ”

"Oh, I see."

Chen Yin waved his hand to the crossbow behind him and said, "Please choose a bow." ”

Zhang Xun shook his head, deliberately raised his voice and asked loudly to everyone with a smile: "I have a question, if I don't use a bow and crossbow, but just throw the arrow at the farthest target with a casual throw, will that count as a score?" ”

Hearing Zhang Xun's words, the crowd erupted in laughter, people discussed, ridiculed, and ridiculed Zhang Xun for only bragging.

"Haha, throw it with your hands? This guy is crazy, isn't he?! ”

"Bragging! What nonsense? Can you throw a hundred steps with your hands? It's hard to even be a stone! ”

"Humph! You see him like that, he must be bragging! I bet he can't pull even the lightest bow! Ha ha! ”

In a sigh, Zhang Xun walked to the bow frame, picked up a long-arm bow, he buckled the bowstring, and wanted to pull the longbow, who knew that the arm strength of this bow was far heavier than expected, he bared his teeth and cracked his mouth, and it took a lot of effort to pull the longbow half.

"Too light!"

Zhang Xun put the longbow back in its place and said loudly.

This sentence, coupled with the previous antics, caused everyone to laugh. Zhang Xun ignored it, paced to the crossbow frame again, and picked up a bronze strong crossbow, this time it was quite difficult to lift the crossbow, let alone wind it, he felt that his arm was sore after lifting it for a while, so he had to put the bronze strong crossbow back in its place.

"It's still too light!" Zhang Xun said loudly again.

The crowd burst into laughter again, and people pointed at Zhang Xun and ridiculed him wantonly.

"What is Brother Xiao Xun doing?" He Yu was anxious and felt a little embarrassed.

Frost shook her head, "I don't know......"

"Isn't he making a joke?"

"No, Brother Xiao Xun must have done this for a reason!" Frost clenched her fists, still very firm.

Zhang Xun paced back and forth, looked up at Fan Luo on the high platform, and said loudly: "For such an important Shenwu trial, I can't find a bow and crossbow to take advantage of, hey, is it possible that I can only throw arrows with my hands?" ”

Fenluo, who had been looking at Zhang Xun's nonsense coldly, finally spoke, she flicked her long sleeves and said, "Yes, if you hit the target with your hand, you will also be counted as a score." ”

"Shouldn't the Shenwu Trial be fair? Elder Chen can use a bow, but I can't find a suitable bow and crossbow so I can only throw arrows with my hands? This is clearly not fair! ”

"And what do you want?"

"If you want me to say, even if I find a bow and crossbow that I can take advantage of, it would be unfair, after all, Elder Chen uses the bow he is used to, and I want to grab one now."

"Do you have a crossbow?"

"I didn't bring it with me when I came."

"Nonsense." Fanluo's eyes were horizontal, and his face was angry, but then he smiled lightly, "Hmph, whatever you want, as long as you don't have a white line, no matter what method you use, if you can stick the arrow into the target, even if you score." ”

"That's it!"

"Let's get started."

"Wait!" Zhang Xun asked again: "I see that the wind is strong at this time, if the arrow I hit the target is blown off by the wind for a while, is it okay?" ”

"That means that the shooting is not accurate enough, the focus is insufficient, and if it falls, it will naturally not be counted."

"I see, well, let's get started!"

Chen Yin stepped forward and saluted to Fenluo: "Patriarch, since it is for the sake of fairness, it is better to let Zhang Xun shoot a few arrows to practice and familiarize himself with the environment." ”

Fen Luo nodded and agreed: "Okay, Zhang Xun can shoot fifty arrows first, and he has the right to practice." ”

"Not necessarily!" Zhang Xun suddenly raised his right hand and categorically refused.

This move caused everyone to wonder and marvel, and they couldn't understand why Zhang Xun gave up this rare opportunity to practice.

Chen Yin also persuaded: "Since the patriarch has promised to let you practice, you can practice first, even if it is to familiarize yourself with the wind in the valley first." ”

"No need, I don't care about the wind or anything!"

Chen Yin frowned, he didn't know what kind of medicine Zhang Xun was selling in the gourd, so he had to shake his head helplessly, "Then let's start......"

"Brother Xiao Xun!" He Yu shouted outside the court: "Don't give up this opportunity!" Why don't you practice?! She said she would let you practice! ”

Zhang Xunchong and Yu waved their hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

Shuang Di didn't say anything, still staring at Zhang Xun firmly, and the two looked at each other, with affection in their veins.

"Whatever you want." Fenluo whispered.

Then, with an order, the second battle of the Shenwu Trial began.

A gong struck, Chen Yin walked up to Zhang Xun and said, "According to the rules of the Shenwu Trial, I will shoot first, and then you will shoot again." ”

Zhang Xun nodded, secretly clenching his fists.

Chen Yin slowly walked to the white line, took out the Aoki short bow with his left hand, and took out a red feather arrow from his back with his right hand, and gently placed it on the bowstring.

The crowd was quiet, and everyone held their breath, as if they were afraid that the sound of breathing would disturb the shooter, and it seemed that they were afraid that the breath would affect the trajectory of the arrow, and people watched silently, waiting for the moment when the arrow feathers flew out. In the valley, the whistling mountain wind never stopped, and the five grass balls swayed back and forth in the wind, looking tireless.

Cold sweat oozed from Zhang Xun's palms, and the sweat dried in the wind, taking away a lot of heat, and his hands were cold and cold, which exacerbated his nervousness. He looked at the swaying grass, and he didn't know how long it would take for the wind to stop, after all, in such a wind situation, it was almost impossible to even shoot the nearest target.

Who knows, just when Zhang Xun shook his head secretly, a red light and shadow suddenly shot out from the Aoki short bow, and the red feather arrow flew straight towards the target a hundred steps away, as if it was a bursting thunderbolt in the clear sky.

After a moment, Zhang Xun had not come back to his senses, but the crowd erupted in a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

I saw that a red feather arrow was tied to the grass ball a hundred paces away, swaying in the mountain wind that never stopped.

Zhang Xun was dumbfounded, secretly convinced, he didn't expect Chen Yin's archery skills to be so superb.

"It's your turn next." Chen Yin said.

"Hmmm......"

Zhang Xun didn't seem to have come back to his senses, and his previous arrogance had completely disappeared, he silently walked to the crossbow frame and took down a bronze crossbow from it.

"Although the bronze crossbow has great strength and excellent accuracy, the strong crossbow itself is too heavy and difficult to control, so I advise you not to use it." Chen Yin sincerely persuaded him, and what he said was not false.

Zhang Xun ignored it, and still took the bronze strong crossbow down and put it on the ground. Next, he removed the wooden double-grooved crossbow and double-armed crossbow from the crossbow rack, and placed the various crossbows on the ground one by one. Everyone looked confused, not knowing how Zhang Xun planned to respond.

After a while, Zhang Xun vacated the shelf that was originally full of crossbows, and then, he put the shelf down and spread it flat on the ground, the shelf was very high, flush with his waist.

Zhang Xun picked up the bronze crossbow he had taken from the ground, put the crossbow on the crossbow frame, and then he took out a few ropes and tied the bronze crossbow and the crossbow frame tightly, and after fixing it, the bronze crossbow and the crossbow frame formed a stable crossbow bed.

After making these preparations, Zhang Xun pulled the crossbow string, took out a blue feather arrow from the quiver on the side, buckled the arrow into the arrow groove, bent down, his face was tightly attached to the arrow groove, closed one eye, aimed carefully, and kept adjusting the angle of the crossbow.

After fine-tuning for a while, Zhang Xuncai finally straightened up and stared at the target that kept shaking in the distance.

He was waiting for the wind to stop.

The grass ball kept shaking in the wind, and it seemed that it had not stopped, and after a long time, Zhang Xun still did not launch, and he was still waiting patiently.

The crowd was waiting impatiently, and they began to complain, complaining that Zhang Xun was slow to ejaculate, and even Chen Yin, who was like a water, showed some impatience.

After a while, the wind seemed to weaken, and the grass shook less, and after a few swings from side to side, it really stopped!

It was too late, it was too fast, Zhang Xun seized the rare opportunity, decisively pulled the trigger and shot an arrow towards the target, between the lightning and flint, the blue feather arrow cut through the sky and flew straight towards the target.

The people were shocked by the sudden attack, and the noisy crowd fell silent, but after a moment, a brief silence was replaced by laughter.

I saw that the five grass balls were shaking in the wind again, and nothing had changed except for the red feather arrow that Chen Yin had shot before—Zhang Xun had missed the target.

The crowd sneered mercilessly.

"At first I thought he was going to be very good, haha, it seems that he is a useless guy at all!"

"That's it! was so arrogant before, but now it's stupid, haha, the patriarch asked him to practice, and he actually refused? Haha, what a shame! ”

"That's it! It is! I don't know where the little lord has taken a fancy to him? Compared to Heyu Gongzi, he is far behind! ”

"Isn't it? He's going to wait for the wind to stop, huh! Even if there is no wind, you can't shoot! Ha ha! It's ridiculous! ”

Zhang Xun ignored it, just squatted down, and while adjusting the angle of the crossbow, he shook his head, and sighed with a smile: "Hey, it's a little higher......"

Chen Yin squinted at Zhang Xun, the expression on his face was unpredictable, he didn't know what Zhang Xun was planning, but it didn't look like he was messing around.
