Chapter 7: Tongue Closed (Part I)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the "Qi Acceptance Law" swept the world.
This not only contributed to the situation that the martial arts in the Tang Dynasty had been martial for 30 years, and the martial arts style became more and more intense, but also allowed the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty to have the qualifications to achieve fame and fame.
If you want to say that the leading figure is the current Marshal of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Yue.
Based on the foundation of the grass people only cultivating the Qi method, the masters of various sects in the Tang Dynasty were in the three-year civil war, and he became the champion of the Tang Dynasty ten years ago, and became the 6th marshal after ten years of officialdom.
Such a legend is naturally easy to spread all over the world and be talked about.
In fact, this kind of person is only a minority after all, and the martial arts of the whole people is the situation that the founding emperor Tang Yueding really wants to see.
After the popularization of the "Naqi Law" in the Tang Dynasty, the people in the area near the twelve border passes praised it as the Bible, and then the local government opened the door of the Tang Dynasty and absorbed local masters in the form of militias.
Whether it is the Great Wilderness or the Western Regions, it can be seen that daring to invade the border passes of the Tang Dynasty is not courage, and daring to go deep into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty is courage, but it is also an act of seeking death, because they will encounter a fierce counterattack by all the soldiers.
Seeing this situation clearly, the Western Regions and the Great Wilderness had to throw themselves into the land of the five bodies admired by King Yue Ding, and this move also allowed the Tang Dynasty to raise it calmly for thirty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Lingyin County is one of the border towns, located in the extreme north of Yizhou, Yizhou has six dangerous passes of the 12 passes outside the Tang Dynasty, since ancient times, the people are still martial.
After the establishment of the militia in the Tang Dynasty, Lingyin County gradually became a famous 'ice and snow hunting town', naturally because almost all the best hunters in the northern part of Yizhou lived here.
It's just that the Lingyin County militia is a little unusual.
Once upon a time, the Tang Dynasty organized a friendly competition between militia groups in the region.
The militia of Lingyin County was pulled out to face the thousands of people's regiments in Shangwai County, and the enemy was beaten all over the ground to find teeth, not to mention, and invited people to sit in Lingyin County, saying that you have to come here to learn to fight.
This also confirmed the murderous reputation of Lingyin County, and four years ago, the old county of Lingyin County was promoted to an official with the help of the militia group. Later, three new county commanders came one after another, and everyone in the militia group did not like it, so they forced away the three county magistrates.
The imperial court had no choice, so it had to send a rookie of officialdom who was a practical person to sit in the position of county commander, and it had been heard for a long time that the people of Lingyin County were fierce and the new county order was trembling in the middle of the week, but I didn't want to take office after the people here were very cute. As everyone knows, it's just because he brought ten jars of good wine in Zhongzhou.
The longer the militia is established in the border area, the richer the militia culture here becomes, and regimental training is naturally one of the indispensable links.
The group training will be held every two months, and the government has set up bonuses and honors, but the people who can participate are nothing more than rushing to compete with the practitioners in the county town, which is a beautiful thing! It is also the epitome of martial arts in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
However, the nature of this group training in Lingyin County is somewhat special, and the New Year is approaching, and everyone in the surrounding Yizhou Sanmen and Yizhou Six Cities want to eat wild meat to come here to purchase.
Therefore, in this group exercise, the meaning of unity and unity is greater than usual.
Zhang Xiaodao got up early this morning, Wang Luohan was still a good wife and mother to help him prepare a qiē, after breakfast, he came out majestic, but he didn't expect that this group practice had some unexpected accidents.
…………
…………
Lingyin County's martial arts arena encloses thousands of feet of ground, a ring of racetracks on the periphery, and a ring is supported by wooden stakes inside, and there is a row of solid wooden piers on the inside of the racecourse next to the ring. Except for the ground with barren grass mixed with ice ballast, this martial arts arena is considered a high-level configuration among the militias.
At this time, the martial arts arena was already full of people, all the 300 or so members of the militia had arrived, and the relatives on the racetrack were also ready.
With the arrival of the mid-week rest of the county order, the gong was struck fiercely, and a group of ten people walked to the painted line drawn by red fuel and stood still.
Just listen to 'whoosh!' The sound of breaking the air resounded in the martial arts arena, and ten arrows were fiercely inserted into the target of the solid wooden pier, but some were crooked and some were right.
There was a burst of cheers on the sidelines, which was the prelude to this team exercise.
Wang Luohan stood in front of Zhang Xiaodao and raised his eyebrows slightly, Zhang Xiaodao smiled: "You think everyone is a marksman, don't you all compete with me for jobs?"
In Wang Luohan's opinion, even if you don't use a wooden bow, you can hit the bull's-eye if you throw it within a hundred steps, and when she heard the words of the knife, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "That's, that's, it depends on my knife." ”
This sycophant was comfortable, but Wang Da Niu poured a basin of cold water and said: "Sun Jian is on it." ”
Zhang Xiaodao squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the middle-aged man who appeared in the second round.
The man looked ordinary, but his eyes were extremely determined, and after he stepped to the painted line, his whole person was glowing with a strange brilliance.
The movement of his bow and arrows was extremely smooth, and his big thick hand suddenly loosened. The cluster of arrows in the bow struck suddenly, and it was more than twice as fast as the cluster of arrows shot by the nine people around him.
"Bang!" After a heavy sound, the cluster of nine arrows that followed took a long time before hitting the target.
I saw that the other heavy solid wood arrow targets that were hung in the air did not shake at all, only the arrow clusters shot by Sun Arrow made the arrow targets shake violently, and it was obvious that his strength in the arrow was much stronger than that of others.
This gesture of powerful archery won a cheer.
Sun Jian didn't smile, but still looked at Zhang Xiaodao not far away with a stinky face, and the provocation was obvious.
Zhang Xiaodao smiled bitterly, if Sun Jian was not an opponent if he was more than 300 feet in accuracy, but obviously Sun Jian was not a grade stronger than him in terms of strength.
"This Mu Dunzi arrow target is made by my family, with iron embedded inside, not to mention four hundred catties up, the strength of this Sun arrow is really a lot bigger." Wang Daniu said staggeredly.
Liu Yichen looked at Dong Yao, who had just passed the door as a newlywed, and then said unintentionally, "Xiaodao, I heard that since the last time he lost to you three hundred feet away, Sun Jian has sharpened his arrow skills like crazy, and it is said that now five hundred feet away, he can accurately hit the heart." ”
Zhang Xiaodao looked at Liu Yichen and didn't speak.
Sun Jian has always been a marksman in Lingyin County before Zhang Xiaodao practiced archery, and he has been sitting firmly in this position for nearly ten years, and was defeated by Zhang Xiaodao with accuracy a few years ago, so he is naturally unbalanced in his heart.
But it's just a competition in archery skills, the relationship between the two families has always been good, but when it comes to group training time, who cares about private relationships, Sun Jian has also been ruthless in recent years, vowing to pull Zhang Xiaodao off the horse.
A total of five rounds of 100 arrows came to the last round in the blink of an eye in Zhang Xiaodao's thoughts.
Zhang Xiaodao finally appeared and received thunderous cheers.
Zhang Xiaodao naturally understood that there was also a reason for his popularity, he first smiled at Wang Luohan, and was about to turn around, but he heard Wang Luohan remind: "You light your strength." ”
Zhang Xiaodao nodded, "Wu Fei Practicing Physical Arts" has made progress recently, and he knows that his arm strength has increased a lot, but he is too lazy to use the bow and arrow during this time.
Ten people stood still from time to time, Zhang Xiaodao drew the bow and arrows, and there was only a bullseye in his eyes.
After a shout of 'release' sounded, Zhang Xiaodao hesitated, the original full moon bow loosened half of the string, and the arrow cluster still shot out suddenly, piercing straight into the bull's-eye.
Zhang Xiaodao was slightly shocked in his heart, and looked at the bullseye a little blankly.
This force is an arrow he shot after releasing fifty percent of his strength, but it has already pierced into the bull's-eye quickly, which is already his limit in normal times.
Everyone cheered, and Sun Jian seemed to notice Zhang Xiaodao's small movements and frowned, but he was full of confidence in himself, and just took a deep breath.
Wang Luohan didn't know the strength of Zhang Xiaodao, and said in a low voice: "Fifty percent." ”
Da Niu, who was standing next to her, turned around and said, "What?"
Wang Luohan smiled and didn't squeak.
The first round of archery also ended with Zhang Xiaodao's hit, and more than ten people who hit the bull's-eye competed more than 200 paces.
In the second round, there were still five people who could hit the bull's-eye, but after the third round, only Zhang Xiaodao and Sun Jian were left.
This result was not unexpected, and the people of Lingyin County, who were cheering, were very much looking forward to the duel between the two in archery skills.
The two had just entered.
Zhou Zhongxi, the young county commander sitting on the high platform, smiled and asked the strong man next to him: "I guess the knife can still win." ”
The strong man is the head of the Lingyin County People's League, named Zhao Lie, his cultivation has reached the realm of knowing qi, as for what grade no one knows, he said softly: "I don't think necessarily, a few days ago my son and Sun Jian learned archery, I heard my son say that Sun Jian is now 500 feet away from the arrow is powerful and sinks, hitting the bull's-eye!"
The sven-looking Zhou Zhongxi said: "Sun Jian has not participated in the archery competition of group training for a year, it seems that Taoguang is obscure." ”
"Well, that's interesting. ”
Zhang An, who was sitting next to the two, said disdainfully: "Look at it, this thing that practices archery depends on talent." "Obviously supporting the knife.
Zhou Zhongxi and Zhao Lie looked at each other and smiled, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.
Wang Daniu and the others watched extremely nervously as Sun Jian walked five hundred feet away, but Wang Luohan said at this time: "What if all of them hit the bull's-eye?"
Zhang Xiaodao said with a smile: "The first is more accurate, and the second is than strength." ”
"Oh, then you just have to wait a little harder. Wang Luohan said with a smile.
Dong Yao listened to Wang Luohan's relaxed tone, and couldn't help but say kindly: "It's not that you can be vigorous if you are strong, increasing your strength will affect the feeling of archery practice at ordinary times, so it may not be accurate." ”
Liu Yichen nodded thoughtfully, and Wang Luohan just smiled.
Sun Jian mentioned the hardwood long-term work that had followed him for nearly twenty years, and ten bullseyes appeared in his eyes, and he took a cluster of arrows behind him with an extremely slow movement, and suddenly accelerated his movements.
"Whoosh!", the cluster of arrows slammed into the bullseye of the first target, and the target shook endlessly.
The audience held their breath, only to see that Sun Jian's degree was getting faster and faster, and one arrow was heavier than the other.
The sound of "bang bang bang!" was endless, and the ten arrow targets shook violently, and when the position of the arrow cluster was clearly seen, the whole audience boiled.
"I didn't expect him to really practice it. Zhao Lie, who was sitting on the high platform, shook his head incredulously.
Although the county commander is also martial in the middle of the week, it is obvious that the level is not in place, so he can't help asking: "What does this say?"
"Even the Arrow Duel" is one of the advanced archery skills, but I haven't seen that person practice for so many years, which pays attention to force, accuracy, and fast, to maintain absolute strength to maintain accuracy, but also on the basis of these two, gradually speed up the degree of archery, with the vitality of the traction, in order to achieve such an effect. Amazing, really amazing!"
Zhang An's face turned bitter and said, "Well, it seems that this year's cultivation has not been in vain." ”
Zhou Zhongxi didn't say anything, he looked at Zhang Xiaodao in the distance, who was dark and indistinguishable, and chuckled: "Don't think that Sun Jian has the chance to win, I think this kid has a back hand." ”
Zhao Lie immediately retorted: "This kind of arrow technique is already unprecedentedly superior in the Qi Cultivation Realm, I don't think there is any backhand that the knife can beat Sun Jian." ”
As Zhao Lie said, most of the people in Lingyin County have some eyes, and when they see this situation, they know that Zhang Xiaodao has little chance of winning.
Liu Yichen shook his head and said, "Hanging." Dong Yao looked at Wang Luohan, who looked indifferent, and Wang Daniu asked, "Brother and sister, have you practiced arrows with a knife recently?"
Wang Luohan shook his head very honestly and said, "No." ”
Wang Da Niu drooped his head suddenly, of course he hoped that the knife could win, but now it seems that it may be really as Liu Yichen said.
Zhang Xiaodao was already prepared at this time, and the sound of the fathers and villagers in the county who had a miracle life waving their flags and shouting was deafening, but listening to it always made people feel that it was enough for the voices to gather together loudly, but there was a sense of weakness and resignation to fate.
Zhang Xiaodao doesn't pay much attention to victory or defeat, the team training competition is to fight for breath, and he won't lose a piece of meat if he loses.
So he ignored the arrogant Sun Jian, who seemed to express his grievances in the past few years, and walked briskly behind the painted line five hundred feet away.
Sun Jian put away the big bow and squatted not far away, his originally ice-like face dissolved a little, as if he was happy with the perfect swing he had just made, and ignored the sourness of his right arm.
Zhang Xiaodao held his breath and concentrated on the cluster of arrows decorated with colorful arrows on the hardwood bow, but for some reason every detail of Sun Arrow's shooting just now flashed in his mind.
This feeling is extremely wonderful, and this is also the capital for Zhang Xiaodao to dare to say that his memory is the first.
Unconsciously, the vitality in his body was surging, and his right arm holding the arrow seemed to be filled with infinite strength, so he pulled the bowstring.
Full bow, like the moon!
The two ends of the hardwood bow seem to be about to collide, and the arc looks exaggerated to the extreme.
What kind of power is this?
Zhang Xiaodao hadn't opened the bow yet, just pulling the bow caused an exclamation, Wang Daniu stood up excitedly, he knew that he could pull the tough big bow into this arc, and its strength was self-evident.
Under the suffocation, Zhang Xiaodao's fingers pinching the arrow feather were gently loosened!
Lixuan's arrow struck suddenly, like a multicolored lightning bolt that suddenly seemed to pierce people's pupils.
But Zhang Xiaodao didn't look at whether the arrow cluster hit or not, his frequency of movements increased in vain, and after the hardwood bowstring bounced back, it bent again, and so on nine times.
In the process of repetition, the first cluster of arrows reached the bull's-eye first, and a loud "boom" resounded throughout the martial arts arena.
The huge wooden arrow target was torn apart, and sawdust flew in the air.
The cluster of arrows withstood the center of the embedded iron plate, galloped all the way to the ground, and rolled down to the edge of the outer racecourse, which is also a gathering place for spectators in the county to watch the group drill.
This shocking arrow made the audience silent, but the next even more shocking scene has just begun.
Zhang Xiaodao's second arrow was even more powerful and heavy, and the pier wood arrow target was shattered again, deeply piercing the arrow feather embedded in the iron plate, and flew directly out of the field.
The third arrow, the fourth arrow, the fifth arrow...... All maintained such an increasing strength, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping outside the field, and the masters of the militia stopped all their iron plates.
When the tenth arrow arrived, the cluster of arrows pierced through the iron plate three inches thick and flew straight to the seat platform.
Zhao Lie knocked it down with a punch, and said, "What a lot of power." ”
Ten arrows were finished, and the audience fell into a dead silence, Wang Daniu stared at Zhang Xiaodao, who was as plain as ever, but now Zhang Xiaodao's hand was divided into two by the high-quality hardwood bow that he had made for three months.
Liu Yichen and Dong Yao's mouths grew up and fell into a stupor.
Sun Jian, who was standing not far from Zhang Xiaodao, had hollow eyes, obviously unable to accept the reality in front of him.
Wang Luohan read softly: "It's time to get a good bow for the knife." ”
