Chapter 11 Moheng
"Get up! Broken, broken, broken! It's over, it's over! ”
Murda, Murden, Murshin and Murdi were quarreled by a burst of voices. The person who shouted was Mo Heng.
Last night, the five of them drank bamboo leaves all night, and everyone was drunk and slept soundly until dawn. These two bottles of Takeba Sake are not ordinary sake syrup, but unblended puree, and one cup is the size of a sake cup to make a 45-proof bottle of sake. In addition, the taste is relatively soft, and everyone feels more refreshing when they first drink this wine. Although Mo Dian and the others drank well, they were full of stamina, and everyone was already staggered in less than half a bottle.
"Mo Heng, what are you shouting. All the dreams of the good ones have been shouted by you. I'm eating a whole roasted cow, and now all I have left is saliva. Mo Dian rubbed his eyes and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Silly, still sleeping. There is an application for the Imperial Archery Contest today. All kinds of disciples can participate, and the prizes are really attractive! Mo Heng rushed up and gave Mo Dian a slap, pulled Mo Dian up and said
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Fatty, you carry everyone and hurry up! Otherwise, I'll knock over this bottle of bamboo leaf clear! Mo Heng finished speaking, shaking the wine bottle in his hand.
"Don't, it's easy to say, such a good wine is better than any prize! Walking! After speaking, without waiting for Moda and them to react, they picked up the group and rushed out.
"Where are you going?"
"The empty field behind the Mike Kik!"
"Mo Di, what is this Imperial Shooting Competition?" Murda heard about the contest for the first time and asked the ink flute beside him.
"Hi, biennial bow and archery and riding competitions. The participants were the various 'kinds' who had studied in the Imperial Archery. Since all the things learned in this soil mound are basic, the people of Guzhumen are afraid that everyone will abandon their basic studies, so they hold a competition every year to let the disciples who have practiced it revisit the skills again, and at the same time let the disciples who are learning these skills to observe and learn. ”
Ink Di replied.
"Oh, that's a great opportunity to see it. Is Moshin going to take us to watch the battle? Is it that the Moheng brothers are superb in archery or superb in riding? ”
"It's not superb, although I did well when I practiced the Imperial Archery. At that time, he was still young, and he was much worse than the champion of the imperial shooting, Bangyan, and Tanhua in previous years. It's just that Mo Heng has persevered and practiced hard over the years. ”
"I didn't expect Mo Heng to work so persistently at a young age."
"Hey, Mo Heng is a descendant of the Prime Minister of Qi, and his family has been displaced since Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms. Mo Heng went up the mountain with his eldest brother and second brother to restore the country. ”
"Oh, aren't their brothers together? Why haven't you seen it these days? ”
"The eldest brother Mo Dan and the second brother Mo Rong have both learned to go down the mountain. When Mo Heng and I were about to say goodbye to see us off, the two brothers also asked me to take care of Mo Heng. Leaving him on the mountain is to leave the fire of revenge. Presumably, the two brothers must have planned to restore the country. ”
"It turns out that Mo Heng's life experience is so pitiful, no wonder he has to study hard. I must want to learn to follow my brother as soon as possible and devote myself to the great cause of restoring the country. ”
Murda couldn't help but be in awe of the nine-year-old child. Just nine years old, he was burdened with national hatred and family hatred, and he should be the most carefree age, but he was forced to work so hard by this troubled world. Thinking of this, a wave of sympathy and pity rose in Murda's heart. It seems that each of these lonely bamboo men has a story.
Mo Di continued
"The eldest brother Mo Dan was the eye of the archery list back then, and the second brother once won the second place in riding."
"Then Mo Heng worked so hard to surpass the two brothers?"
"It's a long story, the champion of archery in that year's big brother Mo Dan was Senior Brother Merton, and even the Three Realms were the first and second in Mo Dun. In order to fight for his brother, the second brother Mo Rong participated in the riding competition. As a result, the champion of riding in that year was still Senior Brother Merton, and he was the first in the Three Realms and the second in Moton. Until the two brothers descended the mountain, it was only second. ”
Mo Da thought to himself: Oh, it turned out that Mo Heng had practiced hard in order to get rid of the fate of the second down.
"Mo Heng has also been practicing hard to defend the honor of the family. He believes that one day he will become the number one in the world and the glory of his family. In fact, Moxin has suffered a lot since he was a child. He's one of the hardest working people of our age. After others finished learning and went to play, Mo Heng gritted his teeth and continued to practice in the soil. Others only learn three basics in the soil, but Mo Heng himself prefers to understand them all. Hey, I came into the mountains with him, and now many of us have already entered the seed to practice, but he is still tormenting himself in the soil to regain the glory of the family. ”
It's fighting for the family again, what about yourself? What do you want to do? What do you like? Or prove yourself by achieving family honor? It is difficult for Murda to understand that the ancients buried their happy childhood for the honor of their family. Maybe Mo Heng cares too much about what others think of him.
"What are you muttering, you can't catch up if you don't go quickly. It's been two years, and I have to try it this year! Although Mo Heng was talking, his eyes kept looking ahead.
Mo Dian ran all the way, from the bamboo room to the waterfall, letting Dapeng mention the soil mound, and Mo Dian carried everyone to the empty field behind the imperial shooting soil. When the five of them arrived, there was already a lot of noise. Moda saw that the empty stadium was already crowded with people who had come to watch and compete.
"Brother Moda, I'll sign up with Mo Heng, so I can be his companion."
Mo Di hurriedly ran away with Mo Heng.
"Mo Xin Mo Dian, let's go and see it too. also cheer for Mo Heng. ”
Mo Da asked Mo Dian, who was holding two bottles of wine next to him, and looked back at Mo Xin, who had not said a word for a long time.
"How?"
Murda asked.
"I think Mo Dian is already about to drink it, and this puree wine will definitely get drunk after a glass. I don't dare let him go to us. ”
Mo Xin said coldly with a dogtail on his mouth.
"Alright, stop! If you drink it again, I won't give you any pancakes tonight. ”
"Pancake fruit! What's the good stuff?! How? ”
Mo Dian really put down the wine and asked with wide eyes.
"Let's go! Fast! ”
Mo Dian carried the two of them and stepped forward, but in the blink of an eye, the two children were already drowned in the crowd.
"Let's go, go up the tree!"
Mo Xin looked up and pointed to a thousand-year-old tree beside him. Climbing up the ancient tree like an ape, he leaned down from a branch with a bowl mouth, and reached out to hold Meda in the back, and he was dragged up as soon as he pushed Meda from behind. Then Mo Yun leaned over and grabbed the branch with both hands, shouted with both arms, and lifted his body hundreds of pounds alive. Then, like a swing, swing yourself onto a tree branch. In this way, one climbed, one deadlifted, one dragged and dragged, and the three of them climbed to a huge branch at the top of the tree. The place has a commanding view and an unobstructed view of the entire arena.
Moshin crossed his arms to his chest and sat on his left side with his head held high. While looking at the arrows below, he explained to Murda. Mo Dian on the side only cared about drinking.
"This archery is very exquisite. You have to just get started, and it will be done in a day or two. If you want to become a miracle shooter, you have to have talent and hard training. This talent requires great strength in both arms, so that the bow can be drawn more fully, so that the bow and arrows can be fully charged; It is also necessary to be calm and relaxed, and to be calm in the army of ten thousand horses, so that the strength of the bow and arrow can not be chaotic and always focus on the target. Those who are strong may not be able to hit the arrow, and those who are calm may not be strong in the bowstring. Furthermore, the eyesight must be accurate. Static targets are easy to shoot and moving targets are difficult to achieve. Whether it's hunting or killing, how can anyone stand obediently and let you shoot? Therefore, it is necessary to instantly judge the target speed, distance, strength and wind direction. Of course, hard training can also make up for congenital deficiencies. When Mo Heng first learned the bow, he could only pull the bowstring with a strength of thirty catties, but now he can pull the bow to eighty catties. Coupled with countless daily practice, the shooting posture has become a fixed position, and you can draw your bow and arrow when you aim at your prey, and hit with one hit. You see! ”
After Mo Xin finished speaking, he pointed and saw that Mo Heng had already raised his bow and arrow and stood on a white line. Seeing him beside him, the flag waved, and Mo Heng flew on a one-foot-wide white line. Twenty targets were erected one hundred paces to the left and right of the white line, and when I saw Mo stretching out his bow and arrows, I only heard the sound of the bow and arrows 'whooshing'. By the time Mo reached the finish line, the targets on both sides had already shot to the ground.
"Good!"
The audience was in an uproar. Everyone was surprised that Mo Heng had such archery skills at such a young age.
"Awesome!"
Murda blurted out. Mo Xin still folded his arms and said calmly
"This is the first level, which is called left and right to start work, and the main test is the ability to switch directions instantly."
Then, Mo Heng stood on a high platform. Seeing the wave of the commanding flag, a hundred targets were suddenly erected on the ground 200 meters in front of the high platform, and these erected targets rushed together in the direction of the high platform. What was even more worrying was that the speed at which these targets advanced was fast and slow, and there were only one hundred and twenty carved arrows beside Mo Heng. I saw that the ink was far and near, left and right, while considering the speed of the advancement of each target, while ensuring that no target could get close to the high platform. Every time the bowstring sounds, a target will fall to the ground.
In a short time, only the three furthest ones were left to advance side by side. Mo Heng froze his mind, and unhurriedly took out the last three carved arrows, and carried the white feathers on the bowstring. With the strength of both arms, the bow in his hand is drawn like a full moon. The left arm is raised high in the back, and the left hand holding the feather is pressed against the cheek, and the eyes are fixed on the target that is gradually accelerating. The audience held their breath and fell silent. But as soon as Mo Heng's left hand was loosened, the bowstring and bow arm full of tension shot out the three carved arrows and pointed straight at the target.
"When, when, when."
After three sounds, all three galloping targets were shot away. Time seemed to freeze, and Meda opened her mouth and couldn't speak as if she had been dumbfounded.
"It's called a husband. Not only must you be accurate, but you must also knock down all the targets at different speeds. It is not only about accuracy, endurance, but also about patience and strategy. It seems that Mo Heng has improved again. ”
Mo Xin was amazed by the sidelines.
After the ink shot horizontally, he finally let out a sigh. Mo Di ran up from the stage, his hands stretched out his thumbs, and the two children hugged each other and cheered. Mo Heng, who was still alive like a general just now, instantly returned to the appearance of a child. The bright sunlight reflected on the faces of the two children, and the murderous aura of the bow and arrow just now was gone.
"Moxin, what kind of comparison is this, is it more accurate than anyone or does it take shorter?"
Although Moda was surprised by Moheng's marksmanship, he did not understand the rules of the game.
"I am a person who believes that the so-called competition should not be confined to form, but should be about creation. Therefore, every competition of the Lone Bamboo people must not only have a foundation, but also have a creative foundation, and more importantly, have practical effects. Therefore, there is no specific form of competition, and it is up to each disciple to come up with his own method of comparing arrows. The designed method must first be able to complete it by yourself, and if others can't complete it, the designer can be counted as a winner! If someone can finish it, it's a draw. ”
Moxin explained.
"What is the practical effect of these two levels of Moheng design?"
"In the eyes of the layman, the start of the first level is only the accuracy of the arrow, but in fact, it can be used for assault when using troops. Archers should not only defend, but also be ranged killers when attacking, with hand-to-hand spearmen, shield men and axemen gathered together, so that the enemy from near and far can be helpless. The second level lies in defense, when the enemy is attacking the city, they are swarming, and the good archers can judge the situation. Therefore, it is necessary to quickly judge the speed of the individual enemy and the speed of the whole enemy, and at the same time know your own ability and the survival of the bow and arrow. ”
"It's really amazing, Mo Heng can really think about it!"
Murda suddenly realized.
"That's what I taught Xiao Hengzi, using weapons to obtain the method can only be regarded as a martial artist, and a strong martial artist with exquisite tactics can be invincible."
Mo Xin looked at Mo Heng, who was hugging and rejoicing with Mo Di, and was very pleased.
These two archery skills are really practical, Mo Xin is worthy of being a master of military apprenticeship, and even bow and arrow competitions can be combined with actual combat. Mo Da is already fascinated by the 'seed' disciple of Shouyang Mountain, and hopes that he will enter the 'seed' practice as soon as possible. It seems that I still have to speed up my pace of cultivation. Since Moheng's archery is instructed by Moxin, presumably Moxin's archery must also be good. So let Mo Xin teach him.
"Those who use the art of war may not be able to use weapons, I just teach Mo Heng the art of warfare, as for archery, you still learn from Mo Heng, I just graduated from archery, he is a master in archery......
As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance!
