Chapter Fifty-Three: Shooting with a Bow
"Don't wait for tomorrow, the big husband acts, seize the day! I said that I will start practicing today, so let's start practicing today! Liu Tianhao was greatly stimulated this time, his dignity was seriously damaged, and he roared hoarsely, as if he was unwilling to give himself a way out!
"Uh......" Tai Shi Ci was stunned when he heard this.
Dian Wei, Xu Chu and the others had solemn faces, and bowed their heads to reject Liu Tianhao's sentence just now, "The big husband acts, seize the day!" ”
"You gang of rammers, all come over to me, and listen to Ziyi teach you bow skills together!" Liu Tianhao looked up again, and said to Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others knew their own family affairs, and they were indeed far inferior to Tai Shici in this bow art, so when they heard Liu Tianhao's shout, they immediately rushed forward, and surrounded Tai Shici like a good student, without any psychological rejection.
Tai Shici is quite restrained, he is fifteen or sixteen years old, although he has also had the experience of training soldiers, but they are all low-level soldiers, and there is a big difference between his martial arts and level, but the current situation is that one Liu Tianhao is his own lord, and the two people next to him, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, are slightly stronger than themselves when it comes to martial arts, how can there be no pressure? That is, it's okay for the twenty-two guards in the back, and the pressure is not very great!
"Ziyi, don't ink, we people won't hunt today! You just train and explain the art of bow archery, this point, Zhongkang and Evil are far inferior to you, you just talk about it! Another day, you have to learn their skills, and there is no problem! Liu Tianhao urged on the side, and he also untied Tai Shici's little knot.
"Yes!" Tai Shi Ci saw that Liu Tianhao kept urging, and hurriedly stabilized his mind and swept away distracting thoughts.
"Etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics are six arts, and bow archery is one of them, which is a necessary skill for a husband to walk in the world. The bow is divided into horses and horses. Horse stepping shooting, is the foundation, which is divided into five kinds of shooting skills, namely white arrow, ginseng, 剡注, Xiang ruler, well instrument! "Tai Shici is not only superb in archery, but also can tell the theory one by one.
"Oh? What do these five skills mean? Hearing that Tai Shici said something a little crepe, Dian Wei asked out loud, and Liu Tianhao and the others also listened attentively.
"The so-called white arrow: that is, the arrow pierces the target and the arrow turns white, indicating that the arrow is accurate and powerful; Participate in the connection, that is, put a arrow in the front, and the last three arrows go in a row, and the arrows belong to each other, if the beads are connected; It means that the arrow is very short from aiming to issuance, and the arrow is released, and the arrow is hit; Xiangqi... It is the minister and the king to shoot, the minister and the king stand side by side, so that the king retreats one foot; And Jingyi is the most rare, it must be coherent and the goal is the same! Speaking of Xiangqi, Tai Shici was obviously stunned.
"Hmph, don't use this ruler skill, even if the shooter controls the arrow at will, why should he be one foot behind the people?" Liu Tianhao said hatefully, as if he was very uninterested in this ruler.
"Uh...... That's what the lord said! Tai Shi Ci nodded again and again, expressing agreement.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu were also silent, and what they thought in their hearts should be the same as Liu Tianhao.
"I once heard that in ancient times, there was a marksman, named Hou Yi, who could fire nine arrows in a row, and hit one point at all, which should be more powerful than Jing Yi's four arrows in a coherent manner, right? Ziyi, have you heard of it? Liu Tianha asked curiously again.
"Hou Yi is good at shooting, everyone knows about us who learn to shoot, no one knows!" Speaking of Hou Yi, Tai Shici's face immediately showed a madman worship.
"Then his nine-arrow continuous statement, was it true?" In later generations, not to mention the nine arrows in a row, even the five bow skills mentioned by Tai Shici above have been lost one by one, so Liu Tianhao is still full of expectations and can get a positive answer from this era that is closer to the legend of Houyi.
"Uh...... The theory of the Nine Stars Crossing the Sun is a legendary divine skill, but if it is placed on the Great God of Houyi, it should be true, right? Tai Shici was also noncommittal on this issue, so he hesitated and did not dare to make a conclusion.
"If I play well, I can almost shoot six arrows in a row, hit a little, and even when I have a flash of inspiration, I can shoot seven arrows in a row, but I can only hit one target, not a little!" Tai Shici muttered to himself again, and his words were quite confident and proud.
"Awesome, Ziyi!" Liu Tianhao, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu all raised their thumbs and praised, but they were very shocked in their hearts.
"This... Belch... Well, there are more powerful shooters in this world than me, so I don't deserve such praise! Tai Shici's face turned red and responded modestly.
"Haha, great is amazing, I can't, there are a few people in this world who can be better than you!" Xu Chu resolutely defended.
"Okay, don't make trouble, continue to listen to Ziyi's doubts!" Liu Tianhao pretended to be calm.
"Riding and archery started from the grassland people, although it is difficult, but it is not too particular, as long as the two skills of riding and foot archery can be practiced to perfection, after the water is completed, it is natural to learn to ride and shoot. As for wanting to be proficient in riding and archery, it depends on personal talent and sweat! For example, a few days ago, the Xianbei people under the tent and the tent, the level of riding and archery is also uneven! ”
"That's just as well! However, Ziyi, what you said for a long time is a big truth! Tell me how to practice archery! Liu Tianhao cares more about the skills that can be learned from scratch.
"Well, don't worry, my lord, I'll show you how to practice. Generations of sharpshooters have successively summed up a set of step-by-step training methods from the five categories of archery skills mentioned in the "Book of Rites: Archery"! Tai Shi Ci was interrupted by Liu Tianhao before, so he would not be annoyed, and he also knew that Liu Tianhao didn't know anything about this way of archery, so he immediately changed his mind and talked about this way of practice.
"Oh... Eight sections of shooting? How do you explain that? Liu Tianhao was really an eye-opener.
"The so-called eight sections are respectively pedaling, carcass, bow construction, momentum, introduction, thinking, detachment, and remnant!"
"It's so profound, but we don't understand it!" Dian Wei muttered.
"Hehe, don't worry, brother evil! Foot pedaling, that is, standing with two feet; carcass firmness, that is, the posture of the upper body should be fixed; The bow construction is the upper bow action; Momentum is the process of raising the bow; Introduction, that is, to pull the bow and exert force; Thinking is to determine where the goal is; Off the strings, easy to understand, right? It means to release arrows; The broken heart is the body posture and inner emotions after an arrow is out, whether it is to continue to shoot continuously or just give up, there is a whole set of agreements! ”
"Wonderful, really wonderful, I didn't expect this bow to shoot one item, and it can still be divided into so many ways, especially the last remnant, it's even more interesting!" Liu Tianhao praised the festival.
