Chapter 68: The Choice of Color
Ji Yang and Di Tu, the two sons, are well-mannered and personable. One is beautiful and fair-skinned, the other is martial and powerful, and they are all handsome guys who are not born in the world. In that era when there were no cameras and no Internet, princesses from all over the world salivated just by listening to their good names. And Ji Jiang, as a princess of a small country, not only escaped the fate of marrying middle-aged and elderly people, but also obtained the status of two top small fresh meat competitions, which can be regarded as leaving a good talk for future generations.
When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed. As soon as the previous ceremony ended, Ji Yang and Di Tu "fought" without saying a word.
According to the "Zhou Li", archery is divided into five realms: white arrow, Shenlian, Yanzhu, Xiangqi, and Jingyi.
Ji Yang took a full moon bow and took the lead. I saw that the arrow pierced the target surface angrily, and suddenly there was only white tail feathers left, which was a "white arrow".
Not to be outdone, the five arrows in the barrel were shot out continuously, and the arrows penetrated the target surface deeply, and the strength was not lost at all.
Ji Yang gritted his teeth and shot an arrow with his backhand, and the scream pierced the sky, leading the arrow all the way to hit the bull's-eye, attracting applause from the audience.
With a sneer, he drove backwards by one foot and shot the same result at a longer distance, which was for the "Xiang Ruler".
Ji Yang, who refused to admit defeat, followed backwards. The two took turns to retreat, one arrow farther than the other, but both of them hit the bull's-eye, and it was difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom, which was considered to have reached the highest level of "Jingyi" at the same time.
It seems that Ji Yang is not an embroidered pillow, and he is a chess opponent with Dutu. Since the shooting art can't tell the winner, the two of them are competing in the royal art again. This royal art also has five realms: singing and luan, chasing water songs, passing the monarch's table, dancing and crossing, and chasing birds and left. It looks like the equestrian sport of the modern Olympic Games.
The first is Ming and Luan. The reins in the hands of the two men were like a baton, causing the horse's hooves to flutter lightly, and the bells on the carriage to jingle with it. Ji Yang's carriage chirped briskly, and with the oscillation of the horse's mane, it emitted a harmonious melody, like a violin. The rhythm of the excavation is very calm, and the sound is mixed with the collision of the body, like a piano.
The second is the water-chasing song. Mite drove along the river beach of Kuqu. The ruts turned a thousand times, but the water was close everywhere but not wet, and there was no water stain splashed on the body. Under such strict requirements, Ji Yang and Dutu are both at ease, and the speed of the car is not slow at all. In the end, he was slightly more than half a horse's body and crossed the finish line first.
Then there is the gentleman's watch. The carriage had to cross the road, cross stones, and circle the flag, overcoming one obstacle after another, and saluting to the table of the Son of Heaven. The first half of the two are evenly matched. When it was time to salute, Ji Yang's horse added a movement, and its front hooves soared into the air accompanied by a neigh, which was slightly superior in the beauty of etiquette.
Then there's the dance crossing. The two of them weave through several intersecting roads, controlling speed, rhythm, posture, and sound. than to the most important place, the two met on a narrow road but did not give way to each other, once the hub of the car was scratched, and the onlookers screamed repeatedly.
Finally, there is the left-wing of the birds. Ji Yang and Di Tu galloped into a forest from the east and west sides, chasing the beasts. A moment later, the birds rose up and circled the forest three times. An elk galloped out of it, followed by two carts. When they were within range, the two men took their bows and fired them from the left side of the car at the same time, hitting at the same time.
At this point, the shooting salute and the imperial salute have been tried, but it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
Ji Yang was anxious, and immediately drove to the front of the ring, and shouted to Shenhou: "My advantages in 'Yan Note' and 'Guo Jun Biao' are obvious to all, it should be me who wins!" ”
He was not in a hurry, he teased Ji Yang: "Winning or losing is not loud." All the guests were present and had their own opinions. ”
So Shenhou came to the guest seat and asked for advice one by one. Whether it was Rui Bo or other veterans, most of them were judged to be tied. Even Ji Yang's Laozi Weihou had no choice but to comment on it.
So, Shenhou announced in public that he wanted to compare again: "Recently, there is a pair of merchants from the south who are in the south and worship Yue Bird." The bird jumper, the Lord loves also. Its plumage is colorful, especially the tail feathers. Its form is like an eye, and its shape is like an eye. Now each side is given three arrows, and there are many wins in the lottery. ”
With that, a male peacock swooped down from the high platform and cautiously hovered between the two chariots.
"Since Wei Gongzi is anxious, then please first." Ji Yang glanced at Shenhou, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he caught up with a bow and came up with an arrow.
But the peacock's tail feathers are held together, and the eye-like feathers at the end are layered on top of each other, jumping up and down with the running posture. In such conditions, it is easier said than done to shoot. Ji Yang was not a fool either, he jumped out of the chariot and chased closely from behind, trying to shoot the color eyes at close range. But the bird was frightened, how could it be obedient?
After running a few laps, Ji Yang barely shot two more arrows, and finally returned in vain. He was so angry that he threw his bow on the ground and glared at his opponent hatefully: "I can't do anything about you!" ”
After digging and bursting into the field, he changed his strategy. He begins to tease the peacock, trying to get it to turn on the screen. However, the bird was very stubborn, and several times it seemed to be about to open, and then it came back again, so that the two arrows missed one after another.
"Forget it, this beast won't let you get away with it. Don't drag your feet on the last arrow. Ji Yang coaxed on the side. The corners of his mouth and his eyes rose vigorously, as if he had just been shot.
I don't bother to take care of it. He bent his bow and raised the last arrow, pointing at the uncertain target in front of him.
At that moment, a piercing birdsong resounded through the sky. The call was none other than another female peacock. The male bird seemed to hear the call, and responded sharply. At the same time, it began to perform hard like a teenager in heat. I saw that the bird began to tremble, and its tail feathers spread out one after another, reflecting a colorful and dazzling light in the sunlight!
Now the digging is calm. Having been visiting the zoo since he was a child, he naturally knew that once the peacock was turned on, it would have to wander around for several minutes. He held his breath and stared, aimed carefully, and shot an arrow through the top colored eye, leaving Ji Yang on the side stunned.
"Providence!" Shenhou took the lead in applauding, which attracted everyone's admiration.
Although Ji Yang was angry, he had nothing to say. How did he know that Ji Jiang had already sent someone to watch the female peacock, just waiting to poke it when he was about to shoot.
Naturally, no one on the field cared about the losers, and they were busy running to congratulate Zheng Bo and Shenhou.
"Uncle Zheng is brave and worthy of his name. Now that I have a beautiful woman, I deserve it! Reber's praise was palpable.
"You're overrated. The first two rounds can be said to be on their own, and the third round is obviously dependent on God's favor. Dutu said modestly.
"Whether it's providence or artificiality, anyway, we're waiting to go to the capital to drink your wine."
"You don't have to wait for the capital, you can do it in two days."
"Oh?" Rui Bo looked puzzled.
"That's where the widow wants to talk to you. I'm afraid I want to borrow Feng Shui treasures to use. ”
Rui Bo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Uncle Zheng's wedding to be so hasty, but he quickly expressed his support: "Where, where is it, it is also a blessing for the widow to have such a plan, and you should do your best to help." ”
"The princes should be married to the temple. Uncle Zheng doesn't run wine in his own house, is it a bit unruly? Wei Hou didn't see anyone when he congratulated him just now, but now he suddenly came out and poured cold water, as if he wanted to relieve his son's anger.
Rui Bo saw that the visitor was not good, for fear of disturbing the atmosphere, so he said to the mud: "The world is undecided, everything is expedient, and it is not impossible, and it is not impossible." ”
"The widow thinks that Wei Hou is right." Unexpectedly, he even expressed his support, "The widow's plan to get married in Ruicheng is also considered from this aspect. ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, and even Wei Hou didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zheng Bo's gourd.
"You know that the difficulty of the dog Rong caused the widow to die in front of the enemy. Zheng Guo's army had been completely lost in order to support Wang's army at that time, and finally our monarch and ministers were as anxious as lost dogs, and panicked like geese left behind, so they had to leave their hometown and withdraw to Dongtu to settle down. As he spoke, he burst into tears, "The capital where the widow lives today is actually a temporary place, and naturally no temple has been built." If you want to rebuild the temple, you should wait until the world is stable before you can comfort the soul of your father and build the new capital of Zhengguo. ”
Hearing this, Wei Hou, the old fox, seemed to have guessed the purpose of the excavation, and his eyes widened with regret.
Therefore, when a widow gets married, he should still be around his homeland. Although the wall of the temple is decaying, the spirits of the ancestors are still there. Today, I will take the place of Rui Bo to pay tribute, and then I should bring the newlyweds to Zhengcheng to worship. ”
