Chapter 15: Worry-free Dart Game

As he walked the streets of the town, he paid close attention to the notices posted on the walls, hoping to find a job to earn a living.

He is penniless, and it is a problem when he can eat the next meal, how can he not be in a hurry.

It's a pity that among the few notices I've seen, two are pictures of the arrest of suspects, three are government notices, and one has just been posted.

It's not easy to find errands, and eating will be a problem, and the ancient saint has a lot of kung fu, but there is no place to show it, it's really hard to beat the hero for a penny.

Gu Shengchao turned the corner unhurriedly, and a courtyard in front of him was full of people, and it was very lively from a distance. He walked over, squeezed in and came to the front, and saw four big words - worry-free dart game.

Next to it is a notice made of silk hanging on the wall, clearly written the notice of recruiting a dart master, with three conditions: one is to carry a five-hundred-pound bronze tripod and squat down and stand up twice; The second is to pull the bow and shoot on horseback, the bow needs to be 200 catties of strength to pull away, and gallop around the field to shoot three arrow targets respectively; The third is the demonstration of equipment, and there is no limit to blades and kung fu. The route is drawn next to it, and there is a school field on the north side of the town, where you can sign up and demonstrate.

Seeing the excitement of the people, they all had to go over and give it a try, Gu Shengchao followed behind everyone, walking unhurriedly. The town is quite large, and more than half of the houses belong to the dart board, which shows the huge scale. They came to the school grounds. There was already a long queue here, and Gu Shengchao stood in the back and waited patiently. He followed the team as he moved forward at a rapid pace, keeping an eye out for how the players who took part in the test were playing.

In the middle of the school field is a four-legged bronze tripod, the big tripod is also the height of adults, the four-legged low, most of the people are drilled under the big tripod, directly back. Even so, many of them were unable to carry it with all their strength, so they had to quit with regret. A short distance further on is a high platform, on which some people are dancing with guns and sticks, and from time to time there are cheers. In the innermost part was the riding and shooting area, where the horses galloped past, raising puffs of dust and the sound of arrows breaking through the air.

The person in front of Gu Shengchao was burly, and it would take the upper half of Gu Shengchao to top the physique of others, but that person's breath was heavy, and he obviously had brute strength but insufficient internal strength. The man looked at the contestants, and from time to time let out a sound of disdain. The line moved forward, and new people joined behind, and the long line always stretched out of the school gate.

When Gu Shengchao finished filling in his name and received the post and came to Da Ding to wait, the person in front of him had already grabbed Da Ding's feet with both hands, raised it with a loud shout, and then squatted and stood up twice, putting Da Ding back in place smoothly. There are very few people who can directly grab the big tripod with the strength of their arms alone, which attracts the applause of the audience.

Gu Shengchao didn't want to be too public, he honestly like most people, he got underneath and picked up the big ding, got up and squatted down twice and then withdrew. Someone next to him took the post, drew a symbol on it, and told him to go inside and participate in the mounted shooting. Gu Shengchao looked at the symbols on the post, and he couldn't understand it horizontally and vertically, it was probably their own way to prevent others from knowing the secrets.

The man who was riding and shooting was a burly man with average horseback skills, and the horse was running fast and slow, swinging from side to side. However, he pulled his bow more easily, and none of the three targets missed, but the accuracy was a little short, and one arrow was shot at the edge of the target, and it almost missed the target.

When it was Gu Shengchao's turn to play, he took the bow and three arrows and flew on the horse, urging the horse to run quickly, gradually accelerating, and when he passed the first arrow target, he did not slow down and galloped past, and at the same time pulled his bow and shot an arrow, which hit the bull's-eye. This superb riding shot caused the onlookers to exclaim. Man and horse become one, passing straight forward, and the horse's tail floats backwards and is level with the earth. After the second arrow target, Gu Shengchao leaned over and hid under the horse's belly, bent his bow and arrows and was about to shoot at the bull's-eye, he didn't want to be too noticeable and deliberately deviated a little, the feather arrow shot out and was firmly nailed to the bull's-eye, and the arrow feathers vibrated and made a "buzzing" sound.

The dust was flying, the horse turned a corner, and when it was about to pass the third arrow target, Gu Shengchao simply stood directly on the saddle and led the bow to shoot the last arrow, which also deliberately deviated from the bull's-eye, but increased the force, and the arrow cluster and half of the arrow shaft were all submerged in the arrow target.

"Good!"

Even if Gu Shengchao concealed his strength, there were still voices of approval from the crowd.

Gu Shengchao rode his horse and slowly stopped, and someone drew an incomprehensible symbol on his post. He came to the high platform and went up the steps, the shelves on both sides were full of various blades, Gu Shengchao thought for a while, chose a spear and walked over.

The strong man in front of him had just finished, and the man used a double hammer, and a single hammer looked like it was more than 100 catties, which showed that his arm strength was amazing.

After Gu Shengchao listened to the instructions and could perform, he played a set of "Five Tiger Broken Door Guns". This set of marksmanship is widely spread, and there are a lot of people who know it, and Gu Shengchao honestly practiced it from beginning to end, dancing vigorously.

After all the end, someone took the post in Gu Shengchao's hand and went back to sort it out, and there was a special person to arrange for the players who were to be determined after the game to rest at the inn opposite the dart game and wait for the notice. Gu Shengchao came to the guest room, and the person who stayed earlier was also amazed when he saw him, it was none other than the burly man in front of him.

"Good boy, you can even pass the test, not bad, my name is Wang Yuan, what do you call it?" Wang Yuan looked rude, but he was also a warm-hearted person, helping Gu Shengchao to clean up his bed.

Gu Shengchao smiled and reported his name, sat on the bed and chatted with Wang Yuan without a word. While the two were talking, two more people came in one after another, and a room with four beds was just full. Wang Yuan was interested, and after a while, the two of them were like friends who hadn't seen each other for many days, and after the appointment was successful, they went to the restaurant to drink together to celebrate.

In the afternoon of the second day, when the four of them were about to rest, someone came in to inform the last person that he had not been admitted, and the man packed up his luggage and left regretfully. Another day passed, and the third man who moved in was unsuccessful, and reluctantly went away. Only two people, Wang Yuan and Gu Shengchao, were left in the originally lively guest room, and they became deserted.

Another day passed, no one came, Wang Yuan was a little uneasy, he was not worried about himself, but comforted Gu Shengchao and said: "Little brother, don't be afraid, when I become a dart master and gain a firm foothold here, you can come to me, and my brother will definitely introduce you when the time comes." ”

Gu Shengchao nodded and arched his hand: "Then the little brother thank you first." ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand calmly and said: "What are you and my brother polite, brother, my words count, I will not deceive you, just come when the time comes." ”

After dinner, Wang Yuan couldn't sit still, ran to other rooms to inquire about the news, and came back and told Gu Shengchao: "This dart game is really strict in selecting dart masters, listen to them, at the beginning, the entire inn was full, and now there are not many people left, and many rooms have been vacated." Later, he showed a relieved smile again, "In this way, little brother, your kung fu is not bad, and it is rare to be able to persist until now." ”

Gu Shengchao smiled noncommittally.

Wang Yuan whispered to Gu Shengchao: "Do you know, this dart bureau shopkeeper has something to do with the executives in the capital, and originally wanted to set up the general dart bureau in the capital, but they started here, and the old shopkeeper was unwilling to leave here, so they stayed, and the dart bureau in the capital became a semicolon instead." ”

After waiting for another day, someone notified everyone to gather in the courtyard of the dart bureau one by one. Gu Shengchao, Wang Yuan and the others arrived at the designated place together, they stood in line, and briefly glanced at it from the corner of their eyes, leaving about thirty people behind.

A man with a long beard stood at the front of the team and said: "The surname of the contemptible person is Zhong, and the word thunder is the head of this dart." Everyone listened attentively, and everyone who read the name came out and stood on my right hand, understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Got it!"

"Hear me clearly!"

Everyone responded. The ancient saint super could feel that Zhong Lei was full of energy, his breath was calm, and his internal strength should be good.

Zhong Lei took out a roster and read it one by one, Gu Shengchao and Wang Yuan were both selected, and ten people were selected. Zhong Lei led Gu Shengchao and the others to the backyard of the dart board, and the rest of the people waited for the other darts to be selected.

The front of the dart board is spacious, the backyard is even more open, many carriages are placed side by side, on both sides are horse sheds, hundreds of tall horses poke their heads out to watch, there is actually an open space to practice martial arts, and all kinds of blades are readily available on the weapon rack. Passing through the martial arts training ground, under the shade of the trees is a low barracks, there are already more than ten people waiting here, and when they see Zhong Lei, they are instantly silent.

Zhong Lei instructed one of them: "Xin Darttou, this is the executioner I have selected, and I will leave it to you at three o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

"Understood!" A man with a bear's back replied.

Zhong Lei didn't delay, and turned around and left after a simple arrangement. After he left, Gu Shengchao and his party fried the pot.

"What's going on, didn't you say that you should be a dart master? What a hexagram has changed. ”

"That's right, I'm here for the dart master, don't let me be a dart master, Lao Tzu won't do it, I'll leave now."

"Yes, yes, don't let the dart master leave now, don't serve them."

One of them really threw off his arms and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Xin Dart, and asked with a gloomy face: "Brother, where are you going?" ”

"Lao Tzu quit and leave." The man said dismissively.

Xin Darttou sneered: "We have always acted impartially, since you came here voluntarily, you must obey our arrangement, this is not a place where you can come and leave if you want." ”

The man said angrily: "What, your dart game is a black shop?" ”

Xin Dart stared at him mockingly: "Whether it's a black shop or not, it depends on whether your kung fu can afford it." After that, he hunted in his robe, and he was ready to start his hands when his internal strength leaked out.

The man was the first to attack, and when his chest grabbed Xin's head, he raised his foot and kicked him in the lower abdomen while his arms were covering his chest. Xin dodged sideways and slashed at the man's thigh with the outside of his palm. The man changed his moves flexibly, and he flipped backwards without a single move, which could dodge the sharp palm of Xin's dart head. Before the man could stand in mid-air, Xin had already chased after him and swung his fist at the man's shoulder. The man had no choice but to take this move with a wave of his palm.

"Bang!"

Xin took a step back, but the man flew out in the air and slammed into a thick locust tree. He struggled to his feet, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't move his right arm.
