Chapter 22: Zhang Jie and ...... "Zhang Heng"
ββ¦β¦ I'm sorry for you, Yang Yun. β
When Zhang Heng walked back from a distance, his hand that drew the bow was already covered with scars. Not only were the fingers covered in cuts, but the bowstring of the Windranger's Bow was stained with blood.
As usual, Zhang Heng smiled embarrassedly, and at the same time handed his injured hand to Yang Yun: "I'm sorry, I can't use the whole body repair treatment of the main god space, I'm bothering you during this time." β
"It's okay, that's my responsibility as a healer on the team."
Yang Yun shook his head to show that he didn't care, and then held Zhang Heng's palm, and as soon as his heart moved, a stream of life energy was transmitted.
Zhang Heng only felt a cool sensation coming from the wound in his palm, and it only took a few seconds before and after, and when Yang Yun withdrew his hand, the wound had already healed as before.
Zhang Heng moved his palm, felt his flexible fingers, and thanked him: "It's a great help...... Thanks to Yang Yun's life energy, you can allow me to practice regardless of my physical injury, otherwise I would not have been able to master this new power in such a short period of time. β
Yang Yun waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, this time to return to exercise is relatively long, since I am a healer in the team, I should do some work that a healer should do, lest you exercise hard and train your body well." β
As he spoke, Yang Yun looked at his watch and said, "Take a break, you've been exercising long enough...... Pay attention to the combination of work and rest. β
Zhang Heng wanted to say something, but as soon as he wanted to speak, he felt a feeling of dizziness in his brain, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet, but fortunately, he stabilized his body in time and didn't fall to the ground on the spot.
"That's right...... Looks like I'm tired. β
As he spoke, Zhang Heng sat on the ground and rubbed his two temples to relieve the dizziness caused by the long-term use of the Burst Arrow. He rubbed it and said, "Speaking of which, the 'Reduce Energy Consumption' function on this Windranger's Bow is really useful, before I entered the main god space, this 'Burst Arrow' may not be able to be successfully used once out of ten times, but now it can be shot again with an interval of less than a minute while ensuring accuracy...... Of course, there are also wind elf archers, but most of the credit is still due to this longbow. β
- Nonsense, that's a plug-in for you from the positive ones.
Resisting the urge to complain, Yang Yun nodded and smiled: "It's good for you to get used to it, as long as you practice diligently, sooner or later you will be able to master this bursting arrow, and if you unlock the first-order genetic lock, it will not even be a dream." β
"How can it be so simple...... Zhang Heng shook his head and said: "What I am practicing now is only two burst arrows, and there are three arrows, four arrows, and even the highest nine arrow burst arrows, I am far from learning home." β
"Nine-Arrow Burst Arrow?"
Zhang Jie suddenly asked aloud on the side: "I see that your burst arrow seems to be based on the principle of segmented rockets, this arrow method can collide arrows one after the other, which is surprising enough, and there is actually a higher evolution." In other words, will your Burst Arrow practice end up with a nine-stage explosion? This reminds me of an ancient myth and legend in our country, Hou Yi shoots the sun......"
"Could it be that Zhang Heng, your archery technique was handed down by the legendary Hou Yi?"
Zhang Heng laughed and said, "How can there be any Houyi, isn't that a myth or legend?" My archery technique is actually a skill I learned by chance from an ancient family heirloom, even if the Nine Arrows Burst Arrow is called the Nine Arrows of the Sun by the author of that book, it is just a relatively imposing name. Maybe some of the masters in our country borrowed a shell, isn't this often the case? Later generations pretended to write down martial arts cheats or something in the name of their predecessors. β
- No, that's not a legend.
Yang Yun only smiled slightly on the surface: "It seems that Zhang Heng, your reputation for this bursting arrow is really very big, and I look forward to the day when you shoot the nine arrows." β
Zhang Heng said helplessly: "It's not easy to talk about, the two-arrow burst arrow is just to manipulate the shooting and collision of two arrows, and the three-arrow burst arrow sounds like only one more arrow, but the shooting technique used in it is completely different from the two-arrow burst arrow, not only need to consider the collision between the arrows, but also ensure the hit rate and destructive power, and its difficulty is more than ten times that of the two-arrow burst arrow...... Difficult! β
"Here it is, this familiar commentary setting style...... Zhang Jie, whether you can borrow this 'momentum' depends on your next performance. β
Hearing Zhang Heng's words, Yang Yundang knew that this was actually the positive person using Zhang Heng's mouth to explain the principles and difficulties of the bursting arrow, so as to pave the way for him to "reasonablely" unlock the genetic lock and shoot the three-arrow bursting arrow...... And now, what Yang Yun has to do is to give up the stage and leave it to Zhang Jie next!
After saying a word in the chain of hearts, Yang Yun said to Zhang Heng: "Then I should also go to today's workout next, and I will come to see you again after a while...... You have to be careful not to train yourself to waste. β
When Zhang Heng heard this, he said gratefully: "I'm sorry to delay your time...... I'll pay attention to that next. β
Seeing Yang Yun leave, Zhang Heng's hands on his temples pressed hard again, and he felt that his dizziness seemed to be relieved a little.
"Do you need me to help you relieve your headache with mental strength? In your current state, your daily practice is fine, but if you still have to practice shooting burst arrows, it will only be half the effort. β
Hearing Zhang Jie's voice behind him, Zhang Heng turned his head and smiled: "It's okay, I'll just sit and rest for a while." β
"Your heart is too anxious, and you can't hurry up." Zhang Jie said: "The impatient heart can't shoot a stable arrow, you know this yourself, right?" Not only physical exhaustion, but also mental factors...... In my opinion, you can't go any further with the Second Burst Arrow, and that's why. β
"Yes, Brother Zhang Jie, I understand it myself."
Zhang Heng put down his hands and stared at them for a long time, before the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing an expression that didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "Although I said some bold words before, but when I think of Ming Yanwei waiting for me to be resurrected, my heart can't be calm, as long as I close my eyes, all I think about is her ......."
"Until then, you should save your life."
Zhang Jie raised his voice slightly and interrupted Zhang Heng's words: "Maybe that big ball of light can fulfill all your wishes, but you first have to survive countless tasks. Otherwise, everything is a flower in the water, and the moon in the mirror...... Got one? β
Zhang Heng turned his head, looked at the cigarette handed over by Zhang Jie, and took it with red eyes.
But as a well-behaved child from childhood to adulthood, his personality is even a little too cowardly, Zhang Heng has never smoked cigarettes before. In addition, Zhang Heng couldn't wait to take a big puff after lighting the cigarette, as if this act could dispel the depression and confusion in his heart...... Not surprisingly, the next second he was choked and coughed.
Zhang Jie also lit a cigarette and looked at Zhang Heng, who was coughing, with a smile: "You didn't smoke the cigarette like this, you should take a slight puff, and then taste it for a while, and then spit it out slowly, instead of taking a big puff like you." β
I didn't see Zhang Jie make any movements, Zhang Heng only felt that there seemed to be a big hand on his back, and he suddenly exhaled with a long breath of smoke, although there was a pain in his back, but this also freed him from the choking smoke.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang Jie."
Although the choking smoke could no longer be smelled in his mouth and nose, Zhang Heng continued to cough twice before expressing his gratitude to Zhang Jie: "...... Looks like I'm not fit for smoking. β
"What's not suitable? I don't think that in the main god space, the man who can say those bold words will be a guy who doesn't even dare to smoke a cigarette. Zhang Jie's eyes widened, pretending to be displeased.
Zhang Heng scratched his head: "Bold words don't seem to have anything to do with smoking......"
"It's okay, this is actually the first step to becoming stronger, I just said it, right? In this main god space, surviving is the most important thing. Only if you survive can you resurrect your girlfriend one day in the future, aren't you working hard to become stronger for this now? Zhang Jie said seriously: "Zhang Heng, you have exchanged bloodlines and weapons now, but a person's strength is far more than what bloodline it is, skills and weapons can be overlooked, and the strength of the soul is the real strength...... If you want to be strong and want to resurrect your girlfriend, you have to remember this. β
"Brother Zhang Jie, I understand everything you said...... It's just that those unbearable memories of the past still echo in my mind in the dead of night. β
Zhang Heng sat on the ground and covered his face with two hands: "Even if I understand the truth, I also said that kind of bold words when I was in the main god space, but ......"
Zhang Heng's words did not continue, but the meaning was self-evident, and the two of them were silent for a while.
Just like Zhang Heng said, although he was ready and said the words "I want to become stronger than anyone else until I am strong enough to shelter my lover", the past experience still haunted him like a nightmare, and it was just forcibly pressed into the depths of his memory...... Suppression does not mean disappearing, when Zhang Heng is frustrated and the road to becoming stronger encounters a bottleneck, this nightmare will still follow.
ββ¦β¦ It's like that. β
"Huh?"
When the two were silent for a while, Zhang Jie suddenly burst out with such a sentence. As soon as Zhang Heng expressed his doubts, he heard Zhang Jie point to the scar on his face and continued: "I said, you are similar to me, in the same aspect of having an unbearable past. Like this scar on my face...... Although I kept saying that the scar was proof that I remembered Freddy, and that I would have to break him to pieces the next time I saw him, I knew that this guy was a nightmare I would never get around in my life......"
Saying that, Zhang Jie smiled bitterly and sat down beside Zhang Heng: "Zhang Heng, are you interested in hearing the story of 'my'?" β
"It's not the 'me' that belongs to the present, but the story of the 'me' that belongs to the past."
ββThe relationship between Zhang Heng and Zhang Jie is actually very good.
Compared with Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan, who knew part of the truth but chose not to explain it, Qi Tengyi, who entered Hogwarts to study, Zhao Yingkong and Zero, who often went out to hunt Death Eaters on weekdays, and Yang Yun, who saw through everything, Zhang Heng's senses for Zhang Jie were actually not so complicated.
First of all, Zhang Heng had never been in contact with Zhang Jie, and he didn't know what this man had done before; Secondly, Zhang Jie's attitude towards him is also quite kind, and he will also instruct him on some small skills to use mental power and sixth sense to make arrows shoot more accurately, which makes it difficult for Zhang Heng to have a bad feeling for him.
There is also the most obvious and simple reason, both of them are surnamed Zhang...... And they are all from the mountain city. According to Zhang Jie's own words, he was born in a mountain city before, but later moved away with his parents to other cities, so the two are also half fellow villagers.
In a place like the main god space, what is the chance of being able to meet someone with the same surname, plus a fellow countryman? I'm afraid that's the probability of buying a lottery ticket.
Excluding those things that Zhang Heng doesn't know, Zhang Jie's personality in front of everyone is really very infectious, he likes to laugh, likes to smoke, and can come to some gags every now and then to liven up the atmosphere, not to mention pointing you out the road to becoming stronger...... Who doesn't want a big brother like that? So Zhang Jie quickly got acquainted with Zhang Heng a lot, and the relationship between the two became quite good.
As a potential newcomer who has just entered the Zhongzhou team, Zhang Heng is not an idiot who doesn't know anything, at least Zhang Jie is not a simple person, he knows, and he can practice archery without scruples like now, without worrying about being seen by the aborigines of this world, thanks to Zhang Jie's mental shielding.
And the rest of the team, after the initial doubts, gradually accepted the fact that Zhang Jie was actually the hidden spiritual power controller in the team. On the one hand, everyone is not stupid, so they can naturally hear the meaning of what Zheng Zha said before the return of the main god space; On the other hand, after exchanging the lineage of the Transmitter, Zhan Lan basically meditated behind closed doors, and he didn't even see people a few times, while the Middle-earth team was able to be unpredictable for Dumbledore and Grindelwald who occasionally visited, and it was obvious that there was another mental power controller in the team.
In addition, Zhang Jie himself didn't want to hide the identity of the mental power controller, so everyone basically acquiesced to him as a member of the Zhongzhou team, but they didn't know much about this man's past.
So Zhang Heng didn't think much about it, but replied: "If Brother Zhang Jie wants to say something, I will listen to ......"
But what Zhang Heng didn't know was that when Yang Yun heard Zhang Heng's answer in the camp, he showed a smile in his heart.
- Very good, the first step of the plan......
It's done.
