"Hou Yi's bow?" Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Kong, not knowing what he meant. Xiao Kong suddenly remembered a story he had heard before, suddenly turned his head, looked at Xiao Yi fixedly, and said, "Your name is 'Xiao Yi', right?"

"yes, yes! What's wrong?"

"Which 'Yi' is it? Write it out and show me. ”

So Xiao Yi found a small stone and wrote his name "Xiao Yi" crookedly on the big stone he was sitting on.

Xiaokong took a closer look and saw that Xiao Yi's 'Yi' and the 'Yi' on the bow were the same word. So his eyes were fixed on Xiao Yi and he asked:

"When you were younger, did your parents tell you about your family?"

Xiao Yi thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I didn't say anything special about the past!

Xiao Kong thought for a moment, thinking that maybe he was too young when his parents left him, and he hadn't had time to tell him, or maybe he had told him, but he was too young to remember. So he asked:

"What about your master, did he tell you about your life experience?" Xiao Fantasy, Xiao Yi grew up next to his master, and if his master told him, he would definitely be able to remember.

"Did Master say anything about my life experience?" Xiao Yi scratched his head and thought for a long time, and said:

"Master has said that... ”

"What did you say?" asked Sora.

"My master said that my hometown lives by the sea in Beihai, and I have been an orphan since I was a child, because the fourth prince in the sea killed my parents in order to rob my family's bow. ”

"Besides, is that, did he say anything?" Xiao Kong asked in a series of ways.

Xiao Yi scratched his scalp and thought for a long time: "I have said a few times about my life experience, but that's all there is to it, and any other words are all trivial and irrelevant." ”

Xiaokong was quite disappointed, but said, "Think about it again, is there anything else about your background?"

Xiao Yi thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "I remember, before I was taken away by my master, I used to live with an old monk in a temple near our village for a period of time, and the old monk took me away from my house after my parents were killed, the old monk taught me martial arts, took care of me and ate, and once told me some things about my life experience when I was very young!"

"What do you say?"

"The old monk said that our hometown did not live by the sea before, but moved from far away. The old monk also said that my family has an ancestral treasure bow, which can shoot the sun and the moon, and I heard the story of my treasure bow and the murder of my whole family from him. ”

"Also, did he say anything else?"

"When I was young, the old monk seemed to have said that my grandfather was a big hero, that he once shot the sun in the sky or something, and I was very young at the time, and I didn't understand it very well, anyway, that's what it meant. ”

"It's clear. Xiao Kong breathed a long sigh of relief, Xiao Yi's vague memories had confirmed his conjecture, and he had already come to a conclusion.

"Understand what?" Xiao Yi asked a little inexplicably.

"Have you heard the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun?" said Koku.

"Well, I think I heard about it when I was a kid. ”

"Once upon a time there were ten suns in the sky, but then the weather was so hot that the seedlings in the field were almost scorched, and the people couldn't live in the heat anymore, so there was a hero, and he took a bow, and he chased the sun and kept shooting, and finally shot out the nine suns in the sky, and the people were finally saved, and the seedlings in the field grew into crops again... Xiaokong told Xiao Yi the story of Hou Yi's shooting of the sun again, and also focused on the meaning of shooting the sun and the status of Hou Yi in people's minds. Then he said:

"Then Hou Yi is your ancestor, and you are his descendant!" Xiao Kong said excitedly, and after a pause, he said again:

"This bow is the bow that your ancestor used to shoot the sun, and it is he who passed this bow to your family from generation to generation, all the way to your hands. ”

"Oh, so that's how ... Xiao Yi remembered that his parents swore to defend the bow to the death, and only then did he understand that this bow had such a great significance.

"I remember, when I was a child, my mother used to say something similar to me, but I was too young to remember, and I remembered what you said. Xiao Yi said suddenly.

"Then you can't be wrong, you are indeed the descendant of Hou Yi! Your parents should make you remember your ancestors when they name you, and hope that you will become a big hero like your ancestors. Xiao Kong looked at Xiao Yi and said with certainty.

Xiao Yi looked at the bow in his hand in a daze, and he couldn't imagine that his family still had such a glorious past. He felt a little sudden, too late to accept all this, and couldn't help but cry with joy, and stroked the bow and almost cried.

"It's a pity that such a good bow only has these few arrows!" Xiao Yi said.

Xiao Kong counted the clusters of arrows, there were nine arrows in total, so he quickly understood the reason. Said to Xiao Yi:

"Do you remember the story that Hou Yi shot off the nine days that I told you just now?"

"Uh-huh. Xiao Yi nodded.

"These nine arrows were made to commemorate the shooting of the nine suns, and your ancestor Hou Yi felt that this was the most accomplished thing in his life after completing the shooting of the sun, so he only left these nine arrows and refused to make one more. At the same time, his intention of leaving only nine arrows also shows that he is very confident in his bow, believing that only these few arrows are enough to deal with all the opponents in the world, and there is no need to make extra arrows. There is another meaning of these nine arrows: in ancient times, people regarded nine as the greatest, and everything respected nine, because at that time there were only ten numbers in heaven and earth, and these nine was the last one, so people thought it was the largest. ”

"You see, everyone often says 'Ninety-Five', 'Nine Heavens', the emperor's hall has a total of nine steps, all of which are taken from such a 'nine' character, now you understand the meaning of these nine arrows!"

"Uh-huh. Xiao Yi nodded excitedly. He took out an arrow, took it in his hand and stroked it repeatedly, and looked at it, only to see that this arrow was also wooden, the shaft of the arrow was three feet long, black and shiny, and the back of the bow was the same color, and it was also made of divine wood in the sky, only the arrow was metal, shining brightly with a cold light, and if you looked closely, it was made of sterling silver. Looking at the arrow feathers, it is made of several colorful feathers, touched it with his hand, the feathers are tough and elastic, Xiaokong once heard the master talk about the world's Qimen weapons, remember that his old man once said: Hou Yi's arrow is a rare weapon in the world, and its arrow feather is made of the most beautiful feather on the tail of the phoenix bird.

Xiaokong watched the bow and arrow with great interest, and praised it: "Good bow, good arrow!" said to Xiao Yi:

"Okay, okay, your background is finally clear, you should be happy that you have such a glorious family!" he stroked the back of Xiao Yi's hand and comforted him softly.

"Uh-huh," Xiao Yi nodded frequently. He suddenly said in a loud voice:

"How about we bow down?"

"Hmm?!" Sora didn't react for a moment.

"Yes, how about we become brothers?"

"Oh, okay, don't you see we're brothers now!" said Sora with a smile.

"That's different, we want to formally worship, share blessings and difficulties, and not seek to be born on the same day, the same month, but to die on the same day, the same month, and the same day. Xiao Yi's face was shining red, he took out the set of rhetoric he heard from the story, and he didn't know if the meaning was accurate, he felt that the sworn worship should be like this, so he said it. He blushed a little from some excitement.

Xiaokong also has this intention, after these few days of getting along day and night, he feels that Xiao Yi is a person who values love and righteousness, straightforwardness, and kindness, and he feels that he and Xiao Yi have a lot in common, they are all the same fatherless and motherless, the same alone, and more importantly, they all have the same jealous and hateful heart. He had already vaguely felt that he should get closer to Xiao Yi. At this time, Xiao Yi brought up this matter, and he felt that it was very suitable for him.

"Well, okay, I recognize you as a brother. Xiao Kong looked at Xiao Yi with a naïve face and said happily.

"Then we'll have a ceremony. Xiao Yi said.

"Yes, a ceremony, more formal. Sora smiled.

When they saw a large coral tree not far away, they both went to the coral tree, knelt down, and each of them placed his treasure under the tree, and took the tree and the treasure as gods, and swore to the treasure and the tree:

"The emperor and queen of heaven are on the earth, I, Sun Xiaokong, no brother and no brother, a stone child who was split by thunder in the crack of the stone, today I am willing to worship Jin Lan with Xiao Yi, recognize Xiao Yi as a brother, and never regret it!"

"The emperor and queen of heaven are on the earth, I, Xiaoyi, have no father, no mother, no support, today I am willing to worship Jin Lan with Sun Xiaokong, recognize Sun Xiaokong as a brother, and never regret it!"

So the two of them recited in harmony: "I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year!"

Then the two got up, and suddenly Xiao Yi knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said to Xiao Kong: "Big brother is on top, please accept the little brother!"

Xiao Kong's face was flushed with embarrassment, he had never received such a big gift in his life, so he quickly pulled up Xiao Yi, and said with embarrassment and joy:

"Brother, please. ”

Xiaokong said: "Good brother!"

Xiao Yi said: "Good brother!"

The two of them held hands and looked at each other and laughed.
