Fifty-six - What is missing

"Going!!"

With a soft cry, he let go of the hand that pulled the string, and the arrow shot out from the tip of the bow, hitting the center of the target in front of him with a "snap".

This is already the eleventh arrow shot by Ji Yuehua today, and the accumulation is still a full score of 100 shots.

However, this arrow did not allow him to successfully enter the state of "thoughtless mind" after all.

"Isn't concentration enough?"

With a look of disappointment on her face, Ji Yuehua murmured softly. Then he shook his head vigorously, stepped on his feet, readjusted the posture of his upper body, put the twelfth arrow on the bow, raised the bow and pulled the string, and the arrow pointed directly at the bull's-eye in front of him.

It has been nearly a month since Eight Meanings Wing Lam explained to him the concept of "no thought and one mind".

According to Bayi Yonglin, the so-called "thoughtless mind" is actually just a manifestation of raising one's concentration to the extreme.

For example, for baseball players who are accustomed to high-speed balls, ordinary pitching is no different from slow motion on the premise of being serious. The same is true in principle.

When the eyes are accustomed to high-speed people, abandon distractions, and devote all their energy to the weapons in their hands, the world will naturally begin to slow down, like a slow mirror. In a "slow" world, doing anything at a "normal" pace is in other words, a blistering speed. This is the "mindlessness" in the metaphorical skill.

Regarding the influence of "stigmata" on the acquisition of "mindlessness", the eight-meaning Yonglin defines it as follows.

The implantation of the "stigma" brings the holder superior physical ability. Based on this, after getting used to the flow of "metaphorical energy" in the body, the perception of things will naturally improve. With this in mind, just try to concentrate on what is in front of you. To remove all thoughts from one's mind is to enter into a state of "thoughtlessness."

In the state of "thoughtlessness", allowing the body to react as if instinctively is "one mind".

To paraphrase archery, it is to remove the thought when drawing the bow, and only the instinct of "shooting the target in front of you" is a bit like an obsession in your heart. Eyes as if they were sucked into the target, and then the arrows were released.

Although it may not sound like it has anything to do with archery, in fact, it seems that only those who use bows and arrows can press the "slow motion" switch. Moreover, even in the entire military department, only a small number of people have learned this skill.

"It's just that normal person who can't feel the blood flow in his body, right? The metaphorical energy is different. Because it works according to your mind, it is not difficult to experience the flow of the energy of the metaphor. When you put all your energy into perceiving the flow of the energy of the metaphor, bit by bit, you will squeeze your concentration and attention to the point without leaving even the hundreds of people around you. All you feel is the flow of energy in your body. If you are able to do this, you will be halfway through the practice of "mindlessness". After that, as long as you remember that feeling at that time and apply it to archery, you will naturally be able to achieve "no mind". In your case, because you haven't implanted the "stigma", you shouldn't be able to do it with my original method. Rather, until now, I haven't seen anyone learn this skill before implanting the Stigmata. I'm not sure if it's necessarily possible, but can I teach you another way to know how to shoot the eight knots? Give it a try. Think of the "pedal" as a switch. A switch that allows you to enter the "mindless mind". ”

Eight Meaning Yonglin's advice is just like what she said. It was the first time she had made such an attempt, and even she wasn't sure if it would work.

However, it is difficult for a strong man to skip the challenge by himself. Out of trust in Bayi Yonglin, Ji Yuehua did not hesitate to adopt the plan she provided.

For the past month, the practice of archery has been repeated. Before each archery, start with the "foot pedal" of the eight sections of archery. And remind yourself in your mind to enter a state of "thoughtlessness".

Maybe it's because he learned kendo from Nangong Longfei before, right?

For Ji Yuehua, "concentration" and "full attention" are no problem. However, he was always more than one step away from the realm of "thoughtlessness".

Under the teaching of Nangong Longfei, the experience of swordsmanship competitions with his two sisters day after day has long been imprinted on Ji Yuehua's body. Even if it's not intentional. The body instinctively puts some of its attention on the perception of its surroundings.

What we learned in the past is now going the other way.

How ironic is it that the sharpness of the attack can be detected at any time and anywhere, but at this moment it has become the biggest obstacle to learning "thoughtlessness"?

"No, there are too many distractions."

The longbow had already been drawn into a full moon, but in the end, the arrow did not shoot.

Ji Yuehua weakly lowered the bow she raised, and at the same time, the arrow in her hand also fell to the ground.

In order to enter the state of "non-thought", 100% concentration is required when the bow is drawn, and there must be no distractions in the mind, reminding oneself of the strong desire to enter "non-thinking" and being able to perceive the distractions in one's mind are already one of the two things in themselves.

How can we go with the flow into a state of "thoughtlessness"? For this, the current Ji Yuehua really doesn't understand.

"Let's do it again"

On this day, Bayi Yonglin did not follow Ji Yuehua to the archery dojo.

Although he really wanted to ask this genius sister in his heart, but, as far as he knew, this genius sister was now asleep because of staying up late to catch up on work the night before.

Rather than letting Ji Yuehua disturb Bayi Yonglin, who was sleeping soundly, he would rather practice by himself for a while. Anyway, it's not difficult to meet the sober Bayi Yonglin, just wait one more or two days

(Concentrate to concentrate.) )

Thinking of this, Ji Yuehua picked up the arrow that had just fallen from the ground, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

When his eyes open, he keeps his face facing the target and his feet move quickly. The right hand holding the arrow places the arrow on the hollow position of the bow, and while the longbow is raised above the top, he presses the bow with one hand and pulls the string with the other, pulling the bow and arrow to the level of his eye and pointing at the target in front of him.

In the next moment, Ji Yuehua's hand was loosened, and there was a snap, and the arrow hit the center of the target impartially.

As a result, the twelfth arrow still ended in failure. (To be continued.) )

PS: P.S.1: Well, if you think about it carefully, the book review makes sense, anyway, you can't get the full attendance this month, so just reply to the daily update, and then take the chapters that are stacked up every day as a manuscript, otherwise the next time you will be sick for 14 days (and two days of medicine) will be fatal. If so, we will reply to the daily update this month
