Chapter 8: Inexplicable Progress

The distant mountains were like lines, vague, and Lu An took Xiao Lingwu to the bottom of a small hill on the edge of the camp.

"Lingwu, it's just the two of us here, can I teach you archery today?" Lu An is the best archer in Fumian Mansion, shooting birds from a few hundred meters away, and hitting every shot: "I will take you to the mountainside to hunt game after I keep you for ten days." Now Lingwu became interested: "But I don't have a bow and arrow, what do I use to shoot arrows?" ”

"It's okay, didn't I make a small one for you, you can try to pull it open" To be honest, the bow made by Lu An himself is really not good, obviously he got a wooden stick on the side of the road today and tied a rope, but the wooden stick is still very thick, and it is estimated that it takes some strength to pull it open. Lingwu was so confused, and happily took it, holding the bow in his left hand and leading the string with his right hand, only to hear a bang, and the bow broke.

"What did you do with a broken bow? You still say that you can't pull it open, you see, this pull will be broken, or let me use your bow"

"I don't have the strength of four hundred catties in one hand with this bow, don't think about pulling it away, you can't do it, at least you have to practice it to the samurai."

"Try it, I only lifted 300 pounds last time, it's been so many days, maybe it'll be fine."

"How long? Isn't it just that after ten days, the strength can rise by 200 catties? I don't believe it if I die."

In the end, Lu An still couldn't survive him, so he took off the bow he used and handed it to Lingwu: "Just try it, don't be reckless" Lu An carefully explained to him the essentials of holding the bow and leading the string, and the corrective actions of the hand.

Lingwu mastered the essentials in a while, holding the bow firmly with his left hand, pulling the string vigorously with his right hand, and spreading his feet apart, only to hear the bow body trembling slightly, and let him slowly fill it, leaving only Lu An with his mouth wide open, dumbfounded.

"When did you outgrow the samurai, my God, you're only a few months away from being six years old. Then I'll give you a bow and arrows, and you can learn archery with me. ”

The first time I learned the bow and arrow, the two brothers taught me patiently and seriously. Bows, knives, and shields are the three most important weapons in the army, and bows and arrows are probably the only long-range weapons in this world. Zhao Wu had never taught him. Zhao Wu believes that bows and arrows are not important to his son, and the key is to lay a good foundation when his son is still young.

When Lingwu was learning seriously, he saw Lu An suddenly move as fast as lightning, rushed over, carried Lingwu on his shoulder with his left hand, and pulled out the war knife with a "swish" in his right hand. At this time, there was a sudden cry of "howl" that looked like a wolf but not a wolf, one after another, and the scalp of the listener was numb. I saw a number of figures emerging from the dense woods not far away. Lu An didn't stop, just ran away. The speed of the great warrior is not blown, just now the beast has reached only two hundred meters away, and Lingwu can even see the scarlet tongue stretched out by the beast as big as a buffalo; But in just a minute, Lu An threw them far away, and dozens of beasts chased them for more than a mile. Seeing Lu An running farther and farther, they had no choice but to stop, raise their heads and let out an unwilling howl.

Lu An didn't stop and ran back to the place where he was camped. Lingwu was very puzzled and asked, "Don't you usually say that the great warrior is amazing?" Why did you run away in fear when you saw a few beasts? ”

Lu An glared at him, and said angrily, "What do you mean by running away?" I'm so embarrassed. You don't feel how fast I'm running, where the wolves are catching up with me. Lingwu, you have to remember that in this world, there are some animals out there that are very scary. For example, He Jian and the three of them went to Shuanglong City, and according to the speed of the samurai, they could arrive in half a year. But why did they take more than a year? It's because all the way to the mountains and deep valleys, everywhere there are strange beasts. They have to fight fierce beasts along the way, and sometimes they encounter special beasts, and they have to avoid them. Don't look at our march these days is very calm, but because we are a large army, and we are too many to be afraid of wild beasts. Another example is why we build cities, because we have to guard against the attack of wild beasts, and you have to understand that there are many more beasts than humans in this world. Ordinary people can't survive in the wilderness at all, they can only work in the wilderness near the city under the protection of samurai, you can see that after a hundred miles of Fumian City, how many people have you seen along the way? Forget it, I won't tell you too much. Anyway, it's better for us to stay close to the camp in the future, you can't run far alone. ”

The days that followed passed quickly, Lingwu practiced archery with Lu An every night, and once he actually hit a hare, and Lingwu was happy to roll on the ground several times. Zhao Wu came several times, but he didn't see him, and he heard that his son's archery had made a lot of progress, so Zhao Wu didn't care about him, and Lu An taught him. All the people didn't know, including Lingwu himself, after nearly two months of marching, he cultivated spiritual power during the day, shot arrows in the evening, and punched for a while at night, and now Lingwu is no longer the same as when he was in the mansion.

As soon as he shot arrows for a while that day, someone was busy calling Lu An away, saying that the lord of the mansion had an urgent military situation to discuss. Lingwu Arrow couldn't be practiced, so he had to go back with Lu An. As soon as Lu An left, Lingwu alone practiced the practice of cultivating spirits in the camp, he calmed down, felt that his spiritual power had increased a lot, and relaxed his divine sense and let it spread around. His spiritual power is like water waves, one meter, five meters, ten meters, twenty, thirty ...... Fifty meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters. Lingwu spread his spiritual power as much as possible, and two hundred meters was already the maximum distance. Everything around him was full of life and energy, and he found that this wilderness was completely different from his home, surrounded by mountains and forests, and he could clearly feel the breath of a small animal in the grass two hundred meters away from him. The breath of life and energy is everywhere, and it is extremely rich. As he slowly retracted the ripples of spiritual power, the energy around him slowly approached him and entered his body and merged with him. Lingwu slowly stood up, and habitually played Zhenwu Boxing, which was too familiar, so he naturally practiced it. That rich aura enters the body from the brain, from every pore of the body. There was a lot of spiritual power entering from the body, and it soon entered the heart, at this time, his heart beat violently, and under the cover of spiritual power, he clearly felt that a powerful energy rushed out of the heart and divided into two streams, one surging downward to every part of the body. The other rushed upwards to the top of his head, swirling in his brain, and finally merging with the original aura. Too much aura had accumulated within two hundred meters, and this situation lasted for about an hour, and the surrounding energy was absorbed. Lingwu felt that the spiritual power in his brain kept rotating, without the slightest intention of stopping, and gradually the spiritual power formed a vortex like a nebula, and the speed of rotation gradually stabilized. As the whirlpool swirled, the aura around it was naturally inhaled, entering the whole body from the top of the head, and it was endless. Lingwu used his divine sense to check his whole body, and found that the chest and abdomen were the same, the aura entered the body through the pores, entered the blood vessels, and his own blood and veins actually formed a ring in the chest and abdomen, and every time the heart beats, the blood and qi run in the ring for a week.

Don't you have to meditate? Is it okay not to box? Lingwu himself couldn't figure it out, because he felt that he was doing nothing, and the energy around him was being sucked in.

Xiao Lingwu was full of questions, thinking that his father was well-informed, and hurriedly came to the mansion master's tent. I saw that there were many powerful people in the army, my father had a calm face, and the people below lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out. Seeing Lingwu come in, Zhao Wu squeezed out a smile on his face: Lingwu, haven't slept so late? Is there something wrong?

"Dad, I want to ask you, are there any people who don't need to cultivate, and their spiritual power will increase by themselves?" Zhao Wu, who was already unhappy, couldn't help but get angry: "What are you thinking about all day?" How can there be a pie in the sky? If you don't cultivate well, you want to be lazy. ”

Lingwu was about to explain, but everyone present burst into laughter, he opened his mouth, didn't say a word, tears rolled in his eyes, and he turned around and left. Lingwu, who had no one to guide him, didn't understand what was going on with him until a year had passed, and he didn't know what he was supposed to do. Since then, Lingwu has fallen in love with reading, and he wants to find answers from books.

Lingwu was sad in his tent, Xia Yu didn't say anything when he asked him, just shed tears, my parents have always said that I am diligent, how can I be lazy today. was so anxious that Xia Yu only stomped his feet next to him: Who ate leopard gall? Dare to bully our little master, he doesn't want to live anymore. Turning his head, he scolded the guards who followed. Several guards didn't dare to reply, but just accused: "The slave deserves to die, and the slave doesn't know what's going on." The little master came out of the mansion's main tent and that's it, and we didn't dare to go in and ask. ”

"That's the case, I'll ask Master Lu later." But before she could ask Lu An, she heard the herald shouting all the way: The general has an order, light the torch, and advance overnight.

Lu An also ran all the way to Lingwu: "Quick, add some clothes to the little master, and set off immediately." Lingwu don't be sad, the general is not happy today, not to blame you. The rioting slaves breached the Willow Camp, which was only a few days' way from Tiantai City. We must enter the city within tomorrow, or we will not be able to enter the city. Fortunately, we are not far from Tiantai City, and it should be no problem to rush desperately. ”

Sure enough, all the teams had torches, the march was noticeably faster, and everyone was running and moving forward. The voices of the commanders, the commanders, and the centurions were endless. In the dark night, nothing could be seen, only torches in the sky, under the valley, at the edge of the water, in a zigzag shape one after another, like long snakes, swimming to the south. Where is Xia Yu and the two maids physically comparable to the warriors, they desperately follow the team, and they can't keep up after a while. Lingwu was so anxious that he shouted, "You come and sit, I'll come down and go." ”

"What did you say? I can do it, you leave us alone. ”

The soldiers of the guards on the side laughed: "What kind of battlefield do women go to, let's go home and feed the children"

"Can't walk? I have endless strength, do you want to carry it, uncle. The warrior's brutal words immediately elicited a burst of laughter. Xia Yu's face was red and white for a while, but no one could see it, so he gritted his teeth and followed again.

The rapid march continued until noon the next day, and the rooftop castle could already be seen in the distance. The vanguard had already rounded Tiantai City and headed south, and the team behind was entering the city, and the pace of the march slowed down. The three women next to Lingwu really couldn't walk, and they couldn't get up from the side of the road all of a sudden. Lu An had no choice but to say, "You come and follow them, and the little master and I will go to the city first." Rest on the spot, and come to us when you enter the city. ”
