Chapter 269: Sharpshooter
One day, Eke called Li Yide aside and whispered to him: "You can't practice like this, no matter how hard you practice, it is difficult to achieve great achievements!" ”
Li Yide hurriedly asked Eke for advice, and Eke told him some esoteric words for practicing archery. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that time, Li Yide was still young and couldn't understand it for a while, but he kept these things in his heart.
Since then, Li Yide has been fascinated and has put all his mind on practicing archery.
At the age of sixteen, Li Yide suffered another heavy blow: his father, his only relative, and his master, was ruthlessly sold.
Li Yide misses his father very much, and his father occasionally secretly comes back to visit Li Yide.
But once, Li Yide's father came to see him, and died soon after he returned, and it is said that he was found by the master's family that he had escaped without permission and was killed with a rod.
Since then, Li Yide has become an orphan, he rarely practices archery anymore, and he doesn't even say a word, and the whole person becomes confused, and he often stays alone for most of the day.
But there is one thing that is incomprehensible, Li Yide's archery skills not only did not regress, but improved faster than when he practiced hard before. The master's family often has former subordinates come to visit, many of them are famous marksmen in the army, but they can't compare to Li Yide's archery, which makes the master feel very proud.
Later, Eke quietly came to Li Yide and gave him a thumbs up: "It seems that you have understood what I told you!" ”
"Master, in fact, I only understand a small part, and I still don't understand much else." Li Yide told the truth.
Eke sighed: "I didn't misunderstand you, some people can't even figure it out for the rest of their lives, you are already very good." How much of the rest you can understand depends on creation! ”
Li Yide was about to say something, but was interrupted by Eke waving his hand, and he said to Li Yide with a solemn face: "I came to you to tell you another thing!" ”
"Master, you say!" Li Yide said respectfully.
"Tomorrow I'm leaving here and going back to the grassland, where my roots are!" Eke was sad.
Li Yide was also very sad when he heard it, and he said emotionally: "Master, my parents are dead, only you talk to me." Now, you're going to go too......"
Eke looked at the poor Li Yide and suddenly asked, "Why don't you go to the grassland with me?" ”
Who knew that Li Yide shook his head and said: "Master, the grassland is your root, but my father and aunt are buried here, here are my roots, I won't go anywhere!" ”
Eke nodded towards Li Yide: "I hope we will have a chance to meet again in the future!" Remember! No matter what happens tomorrow, you have to pretend you don't know! ”
With that, Eke turned and hurried away.
On the second day, Li Yide heard the news of his master's assassination.
The Assassin was none other than Uk. Eke left a letter saying that the assassination of his master was to avenge his people.
Li Yide knew in his heart that in fact, Eke had many opportunities to kill his master, so he dragged it out until today, all so that he could practice archery.
After the death of the old master, Li Yide accompanied the little boy who practiced archery and became the new master of the house.
In the past, the little boy was often punished by the old master because his archery skills were not as good as Li Yide, so he did not have any good feelings towards Li Yide.
Now, the old master is dead, and the little boy has found a reason to sell Li Yide to the house!
Since then, Li Yide has been sold ten more times, and this is the eleventh time, when he met Zhang Baoer.
After hearing this, Zhang Baoer expressed deep sympathy for Li Yide's experience: "Lao Li, I will find someone to let you get rid of your cheap status in the past few days, and you will never be sold again!" ”
Zhang Baoer's words made Li Yide's whole body tremble like chaff.
There are two kinds of household registration in Datang: the household is a good citizen and the non-household is a pariah. Untouchables are not eligible for household registration and can only be attached to the main family. They are private property and can be traded like goods and livestock. Zhang Baoer let Li Yide enter the household, which means that he can get rid of the status of a pariah, which is something that Li Yide will never think of in his life.
Zhang Bao'er knew Li Yide's experience, naturally understood his temperament, and saw that he was so excited that he couldn't even speak, so he didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Lao Li, can you tell me about the archery methods that your master told you?" ”
Li Yide said very generously: "Actually, it's just a few words, and it doesn't hurt to say it!" If the master is willing to listen, I will speak! ”
"I'm listening!"
"Master told me that using the arm to control the arrow is the inferior method of archery, and when the strength of the thousand catties is finally exhausted, it will be repeated again and again, how can it be repeated!"
Li Yide said that this was common sense, and Zhang Baoer and Wei Xianyun nodded in unison.
"Controlling arrows with eyes is the method of multiplication, and the eyesight is limited after all, and if it is prosperous, it will die."
Zhang Bao'er couldn't understand this sentence, but Wei Xianyun heard it really well, and he couldn't help but ponder.
"Controlling the arrow with intention is the best method, the heart moves at will, the intention is born from the heart, the ultimate place, do not shoot and surrender!"
Listening to Li Yide say this again, Zhang Baoer was already in the clouds.
Wei Xianyun said in awe: "Your master is really a strange person, it is really admirable that you can understand such a profound truth from archery!" ”
Zhang Bao'er's heart moved, and asked: "Lao Li, just now you stood still in place, could it be that Hua Li was practicing to control arrows with intention?" ”
"Exactly!" Li Yide nodded.
Wei Xianyun muttered to himself: "There is no arrow in your hand, there is an arrow in your heart!" Interesting......"
"Sir, you're not right at all!" Li Yide listened to Wei Xianyun's words, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It took me so many years to understand this truth, who knew that Mr. would break it with one word!" ”
Without waiting for Wei Xianyun to speak, Zhang Bao'er asked first: "Lao Li, how far have you reached with your intention to control the arrow?" ”
Li Yide smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of the little master's jokes, I've just practiced to this level, and I can even say that I haven't started yet!" ”
Zhang Baoer comforted: "Lao Li, this matter is not in a hurry!" I believe that it will not be long before you will reach the highest level of Yiyi Arrow! ”
Li Yide shook his head and said: "Little master, using the arrow with intention is not the highest level of archery!" ”
"Huh? Isn't it the highest level to control arrows with will? Zhang Bao'er's eyes widened: "Then what is the highest level?" ”
"Master Eke once said that archery is just a skill, and if you indulge in it, you will eventually become a great way. Only when there are no arrows in your hands and no arrows in your heart can you be considered the true highest state! ”
Wei Xianyun was about to ask Li Yide for advice, but he heard Zhang Baoer speak first: "Lao Li, I have something to ask for!" ”
Li Yide hurriedly said in a panic: "The master is serious, but please command!" ”
Zhang Baoer asked, "I want you to teach those children archery!" I don't know if you want to? ”
Li Yide agreed very happily: "The master can rest assured, he will not disgrace his mission!" ”
