Chapter 133: Unexpected
Chen Yin walked to the white line again, slowly pulled out the Aoki short bow, and before the wind stopped, he quickly shot another arrow, and this arrow hit the target a hundred steps away.
Next, it was Zhang Xun's turn again.
Zhang Xun squatted down again and aimed, still the same as last time, after aiming, he continued to wait for the wind to stop, people waited impatiently, and cheered on the sidelines.
After a long time, the wind stopped for a while, and Zhang Xun seized the fleeting opportunity and shot another arrow.
This arrow was different from the last time, the blue feather arrow hit the target, Zhang Xun clenched his fists and secretly celebrated, but there was no cheering in the crowd, it was still a mockery.
It turned out that Zhang Xun's arrow only hit a target twenty steps away.
"Twenty paces on target? Haha, you can really throw it with your hands! ”
"Isn't it? It took a long time to make a crossbow bed and aim, and I waited endlessly for the wind to stop, and the result was to shoot a target twenty paces away? ”
"My three-year-old child can be more accurate than him! Twenty steps? Haha, it's no problem against the wind! ”
Listening to this ridicule, He Yu was a little embarrassed, and he whispered: "I really don't know what Brother Xiao Xun is thinking......
At this time, Xiao Shi suddenly came over and said to Heyu: "Can't you see this?" He deliberately made a fool of himself so that Jianyue would leave you alone! ”
As soon as he heard this, He Yu was shocked, his eyes were full of contradictions, he refused to believe Xiao Xi's words, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Xun's previous performances seemed to be deliberately making a fool of himself, and Zhang Xun kept saying that he could win, but Zhang Xun didn't know how to shoot arrows at all, with his archery skills, how could he win Chen Yin? What's going on here?
"Impossible...... Brother Xiao Xun...... He's not that kind of person......" He Yu's eyes were blank, and his words were not confident at all.
"Haha! Ha ha! Believe it or not, just wait and see! Xiao Shi laughed and left.
Shuang Tu grabbed Kazuku's sleeve, "Brother! You have to believe Brother Xiao Xun, he will not do that kind of thing at any time! ”
"Hmm...... I, I know ......" He Yu nodded, his eyes dimmed, and he looked over to see the moon. Sure enough, Jianyue was glancing at Zhang Xun, her face full of disgust.
Next, the third arrow, the fourth arrow, Chen Yin hit the target a hundred steps away, but Zhang Xun missed the target again and again, at this time, Chen Yin scored twenty points, Zhang Xun scored one point, and both of them only had the last arrow left.
"Throw in the towel!"
"Throw in the towel!"
"Throw in the towel!"
The crowd shouted loudly, and people pointed at Zhang Xun and made all kinds of mocking noises.
Zhang Xun ignored it, just restrained his smile and fine-tuned the angle of the crossbow intently.
Chen Yin walked to the front of the white line and looked at the nearest target, on which was the blue feather arrow that Zhang Xun only hit.
"Actually, you have already lost, even if I miss the target in the next arrow, you score five points, and you can't change the result." Chen Yin came over and said to Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun smiled: "Hehe, really? Elder Chen, in fact, my tactical thinking is the same as your tactical thinking back then. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yin was taken aback, he stared at Zhang Xun with wide eyes, the muscles of his face twitched, and he said unexpectedly: "Impossible, my train of thought, no, how can you know?" ”
"Hehe, I asked you about the trial back then, and I have to say, I was inspired."
"Hmph, so what, I lost after all."
"You did it on purpose, but in the beginning, your tactical thinking was very exciting."
"No, I couldn't win at all, the fourth arrow, I didn't shoot the five-point target, I only scored four points, and the Yue Nu shooter hit the farthest target with all five arrows, a total of twenty-five points, I couldn't win at all."
"Yes, in the end you lost twenty-four to twenty-five, but, I have a question, why did you only score four points in the fourth arrow? I think, with your archery skills, it is no problem to hit all the five-point targets, even if you make a mistake, the result can only be missed, the reason why you get four points for the fourth arrow is because you thought about it from the beginning, the fourth arrow must not be shot on the five-point target! ”
"Hehe, okay, you're right, I did think about it that way at the time, but the same tactic, I can execute it, but you can't."
"Perhaps, but what will happen in the end, and who knows until the last arrow is fired? I hope Elder Chen can give me a chance. ”
"Good! Then I'll give you a chance. ”
"Thank you!"
Chen Yin said, stretched out a short bow, and quickly shot an arrow, this arrow was impartial, just hit the five-point target, at this time, on the small grass ball a hundred steps away, there were five red feather arrows densely inserted.
The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers again, and in that cheering, there were also some ridicule of Zhang Xun.
"Elder Chen deserves to be the number one shooter of the Yue Nu Clan!"
"Such a person is worthy of our patriarch!"
"That's it! Zhang Xun, this guy is not worthy of seeing the moon at all, it's all at this time, it's already meaningless, why don't you admit defeat! ”
Chen Yin nodded to Zhang Xun, and Zhang Xun bowed deeply to Chen Yin, "Thank you Elder Chen for making it perfect!" ”
"It's up to you next, I can only help you get here." Then, Chen Yin stepped aside and looked at Zhang Xun silently.
He Yu was very sad, he couldn't help but doubt Zhang Xun's intentions, now that the defeat was decided, he could only be ready to sacrifice himself.
"Sister, wait a while, I will intercede with Jianyue and let her leave me alone......"
Shuang Di didn't say anything, just shook her head silently, and then turned around and looked at Zhang Xun intently.
Zhang Xun slowly walked to the crossbow bed, pulled out the last blue feather arrow from the quiver on the side, he took the blue feather arrow in front of him and looked at it for a long time, then took out a rag, wiped it on the arrow repeatedly, and kept blowing with his mouth after wiping, and picked up the rag to wipe it after blowing.
The crowd erupted in laughter again.
What does he mean by that? Can you wipe it clean and shoot it accurately? ”
"Haha, look at him like that, it's obvious that he's messing around!"
"He only shot four arrows in half a day, but with me, it's enough to shoot 200 arrows! What a waste of time! ”
"Isn't it?! In fact, it would have been over a long time ago, if it weren't for the announcement of the patriarch, I would have gone back a long time ago! ”
Zhang Xun wiped it for a long time before he finally put the rag aside, and then put the blue feather arrow into the arrow slot.
Then, another long wait, the grass kept swaying in the wind, drawing five arc-shaped trajectories, as if five grinning mouths, were wantonly laughing at Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun didn't have any expression on his face, he was neither anxious nor flustered, just looked ahead with cold eyes, and waited patiently.
After a long while, the wind gradually weakened, and the swaying amplitude of the five grass balls slowly decreased, and finally, in an instant, the five-point target with five red feather arrows stopped first, and the main line was still in mid-air.
Zhang Xun seized the opportunity and calmly pulled the trigger, only to see the blue feather arrow flying towards the farthest target, drawing a blue lightning bolt in the air and accurately slashing at the target.
He shot!
At this time, on the five-point target a hundred steps away, there were six arrows, five red feathers, and one blue feather.
The crowd was in an uproar, but instead of celebrating Zhang Xun's target, they were ready to celebrate the victory of the Shenwu Trial. In their opinion, Zhang Xun had already lost, but after this arrow was shot, the entire Shenwu trial was over.
Outside the field, He Yu lowered his head lonely and didn't say a word. Frost looked entangled and didn't know how to persuade her.
Xiao Shi walked over again, with a ghostly expression, "I'm right, Zhang Xun knew from the beginning that he couldn't win at all, and everything he did was to sacrifice you!" Ha ha! ”
Jianyue happily ran to Heyu, took Heyu's hand, and said happily: "Haha, Heyu, you finally belong to me!" ”
He Yu's expression was down, and he raised his head slightly and said to Jianyue: "Jianyue, I will marry you, but please let Zhang Xun go, is it okay?" ”
"Good! All I need is peace and give! ”
"Haha! Ha ha! What do I say! Xiao Shi laughed wildly on the side.
At the same time, Chen Yin walked up to Zhang Xun and said regretfully: "I said that the tactics I can execute, you may not be able to execute." ”
"Really?" Zhang Xun smiled unhurriedly.
"Back then, the reason why I shot the fourth arrow on the four-point target was because I was confident that I could use the last arrow to break the rope hanging from the five-point target."
"In the end, you gave up."
"Maybe it's because I'm in love with Fenluo, or maybe it's to find a reason for myself to leave the world, the last arrow, I didn't shoot the rope, but only hit the target."
"Well, if you shoot the rope, you can win."
"That's right, but this kind of tactical thinking is not suitable for you, I can see that you don't know how to shoot arrows at all, the previous four arrows are all looking for angles, to be honest, it is not easy to just shoot the last arrow, let alone shoot the rope a hundred steps away, hehe, that is completely impossible for you."
Zhang Xun nodded and said, "That's right, what you said is right, but you still gave me a chance." ”
"Well, if my last arrow hits the quarter, you'll have no chance at all."
"Yes, if you shoot the last arrow on the four-point target, even if I break the rope on the five-point target, it will only be a one-four defeat, so I still have to thank you for giving me a chance."
Chen Yin didn't say anything more, just smiled and shook his head.
"Quiet!"
The majestic voice of Fenluo broke the noise, and the crowd fell silent instantly.
Feng Luo stood up and announced loudly: "The second game of the Shenwu trial, archery, the victory and defeat have been divided, Zhang Xunluo ......"
"Wait!"
Zhang Xun interrupted suddenly.
"Huh? What do you have to say? The outcome is already clear. ”
"Not necessarily!"
Zhang Xun turned around suddenly, threw his right arm forward, pointed to the target in the distance and said, "Look! ”
Everyone looked in the direction of Zhang Xun's finger, only then did they find a trace of strangeness, it turned out that there were puffs of black smoke on the farthest target, just when everyone was puzzled, the grass ball suddenly ignited an open flame, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a burning fireball, the mountain wind hit, and the fireball flew in the air, which was extremely terrifying.
Moments later, the fireball burned and turned into a cloud of black ash that vanished into the wind.
At this time, looking at the five targets again, only the nearest target still had a blue feather arrow on it.
"How's it going? Now it's obvious! Zhang Xun said loudly.
Shocked, Fen Luo asked suspiciously, "How did you do it?" ”
"Actually, I don't know archery at all, but I have to win this competition, so I need to plan a set of tactics that work for me."
"Well, in the archery competition, shooting the rope, shooting the opponent's arrow, or even smashing the target are all feasible strategies, but burning the target with an arrow, hehe, I can't figure it out."
"Before I shot the last arrow, I wiped the arrow with a rag repeatedly, and that's why."
"Oh?"
"The north of the Yue Nu village is a bamboo forest, above the bamboo forest is a cliff, and under the cliff, there are many caves, the spring water flows through the cave will take away the mineral salt, the Yue Nu people are using this spring water to precipitate the mineral salt, make the ice bamboo with wine, and in these caves, you can also find a large number of saltpeter and sulfur ore."
"I see, you didn't wipe the arrows clean with a rag, but with fire and brimstone, right?"
"Exactly! When an arrow shoots into the target, the fire and brimstone are rubbed and the flame burns the target, which is the same tactic as shooting the rope. ”
"Hehe, you won." A smile appeared on Fanluo's face.
Then, Fen Luo stood up and solemnly announced: "The second game of the Shenwu trial, archery, the victory and defeat have been divided, Zhang Xun wins!" ”
Hearing the result, He Yu jumped up excitedly, he clenched his fists and cheered happily: "Brother Xiao Xun! That's amazing! That's amazing! ”
Shuang Di also said excitedly: "I knew that Brother Xiao Xun must have a way!" ”
"Haha! Oh, yes! Oh, yes! Brother Xiao Xun is amazing! ”
"I'm!" Jianyue pursed her lips, pointed at Heyu and said, "Heyu! I'm sure I'll win the next one! You must belong to me! ”
"Grit!" Kazuki grinned and grimaced at Mitsuki.
"Humph!" Mizuki also grimaced back.
Seeing the two of them like this, Shuang Di covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother, seriously, you and Jianyue are really a good match." ”
"Where?!"
"Hmph." Xiao Shi looked at Zhang Xun, snorted, and said to himself, "Count you twice." ”
Chen Yin stepped forward, patted Zhang Xun's shoulder, and said, "The future is terrifying." ”
Zhang Xun saluted and said, "Thank you!" ”
"No one has ever come to the third stage of the Divine Martial Trial, since you can start something that has never been done before, I think you can also create new miracles, please work hard."
"We'll do our best, thank you Elder Chen!"
"If you can win the Shenwu Trial, there will be a secret waiting for you to reveal, this is the prophecy recorded in the ancestral teachings of the Yue Nu clan, maybe you will be the one to unlock that secret."
"What's the secret?"
Just when Zhang Xun was puzzled, Fenluo announced to everyone, "The Shenwu Trial has been tested twice, and Zhang Xun and the others have one win and one loss. The third scene, the art of rainbow stars! After the fifth day, the sixth day of the sixth month of June will be held at an auspicious time. Trialist, see the moon! Frosty! ”
