After Lu Ling left, Yang Ji carried an arrow on his back and practiced silently in the mountains alone.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow was shot and landed on the ground. Not far away, a frightened wild badger fled in a hurry and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

Yang Ji chased after him for a while, and Zuihou had to give up.

"It's a pity, it's still a little bit worse. ”

Yang Ji secretly regretted, walked over, pulled out the arrow on the ground, and showed a thoughtful look on his face:

"Although I have been practicing archery for a long time, and I have some accuracy, but wild badgers and rabbits are living creatures after all, and it is not easy to shoot. ”

Although Lu Ling taught him the tricks of archery, he did not teach him to shoot living creatures, and it seemed that he had to rely on his own understanding.

"It's not enough to just aim and shoot, you have to take into account the trajectory of the prey......

Yang Ji flashed one thought after another, nodded secretly, picked up the bow, and continued to walk towards the depths of the grass.

"Whoosh!"

Arrow after arrow, Yang Ji's hunting was not very smooth, and the consumption of arrows was very fast, which made Yang Ji secretly distressed, every arrow was money.

However, in the failures again and again, Yang Ji gradually figured out his senses, and his shooting became more and more accurate, and once he even passed by a rabbit, leaving a blood groove on its body.

"I'm a few points off every time, and when I shoot, I have to aim a little bit ahead and elevate a little bit higher. In addition, the rabbit's movement can be judged by the swing of its tail and the direction of its hind legs. ”

Yang Bi followed his own method and slowly summed up his experience.

Glancing back at the quiver, there were only three arrows left in it, Yang Ji took a deep breath and felt some pressure.

Each of his arrows is reused as much as possible, but even so, there are still three arrows left in the inevitable attrition, and if he can't shoot the prey again, his hunt will be a complete failure.

"Let's go, find the next target. ”

Yang Ji continued to walk forward.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, the grass shook, and a white shadow flashed quickly on the hillside half an arrow away, running towards the top of the mountain.

"Buzz!"

Yang Ji didn't think about it, it was completely a reflex, he bent his bow and arrows, pulled a full moon, and quickly aimed at the prey in the distance.

"One foot above sea level, the target is left front. ”

Yang Ji calculated the trajectory of the prey in lightning in his mind, and he was about to open his bow and arrows. However, just before the archery, Yang Ji suddenly remembered what Lu Ling had taught him, and the arrow in his hand stopped.

"The hand is one with the bow, the eye is one with the arrow, and the heart is one with the spirit......"

Lu Ling's words swept through his mind, and Yang Ji suddenly blessed his heart, and he had a feeling of enlightenment:

"I carefully calculate the trajectory of the prey, isn't it what Lu Ling said, 'heart and God are one'? When I shoot arrows with my eyes, there will always be deviations, and when I shoot arrows with my heart, how can there be deviations?......

In the distance, Bai Ying had already run to the top of the slope, and he was about to cross the top of the mountain and disappear from view in the next moment, but Yang Ji's heart was unexpectedly calm.

Collapse!

As soon as the fingers loosened, the bowstring vibrate, and a long arrow flew out of the air with a sharp roar, piercing the top of the mountain. In the distance, the white shadow immediately remained motionless.

"Shot!"

Yang Ji was overjoyed, and a joy that he had never had before came to his heart. Immediately without thinking about it, a few arrows rushed to the top of the mountain, pushed through the grass, and saw a big fat rabbit nailed to the ground, constantly struggling.

-- Yang Ji's arrow hit its neck impartially, and the rabbit did not die immediately.

"It worked. ”

Yang Ji's eyes were bright, and he grabbed the fat white rabbit and lifted it out.

After going into the mountains for so long, practicing for so long, and wasting so many arrows, this was the first one he shot.

"This rabbit is definitely more than two catties, and after being skinned and boneless, it is definitely enough for Liang Bo and me to eat for several days. The meat can be dried and can also be made into rabbit jerky, which is definitely delicious for winter. ”

Yang Ji's face was happy, looking at this rabbit, he only felt that he had 48,000 pores all over his body, all of which were comfortable.

This is not as simple as a rabbit, for Yang Ji, it also represents a hope, representing his and Liang Bo's future life.

"It is better to teach them to fish than to teach them to fish", mastering a hunting skill means that he and Liang Bo will no longer have to be controlled by the clan in the future.

"Bring it back and surprise Uncle Liang!"

Yang Ji was not greedy, looked at the sky, directly carried a bow and arrows, and carried the fat rabbit down the mountain.

At the door of the firewood room, the old butler stood in the dark, his face full of melancholy.

"Uncle Liang, I'm back. - Look at what this is. ”

Yang Ji raised the rabbit in his hand with a look on his face.

"Rabbit... Bunny!"

The old housekeeper was stunned, he only remembered that Yang Ji said that he was going to the market to sell couplets, but when he came back, he was carrying a bow and arrows, and he also brought back a big rabbit.

"Haha, Uncle Liang, we don't have to worry about food anymore. I bought a bow and arrows, and from now on, we can all go hunting in the mountains to make a living. ”

Yang Ji said that he had told him about hunting.

"Great, great......"

After the initial astonishment, the old butler reacted, his lips trembled with excitement, his face flushed, and his head seemed to tremble with silver threads:

"Young master, you have really grown up. The old lady and the old man will be happy to know it. - The rabbit gave me ,...... It's so fat. Young master, you wait here, I'll take care of it, at night, we eat rabbit meat!"

The haze of the days was swept away, and the old housekeeper was beaming with joy and walked down with the rabbit meat.

A moment later, a curling plume of cooking smoke rose from the darkness.

The old housekeeper made four bowls of rabbit meat, which was a rare meat for the two of them in the past year.

"Young master, you eat some, eat more...... You have to be busy with a lot of things, and you have to have strength when you are full. ”

The old housekeeper was beaming with joy and kept putting vegetables into Yang Ji's bowl.

Yang Ji looked at it, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Once upon a time, he also used to live a life of fine clothes and food, but now, for a piece of rabbit meat, he is so happy, as if it is the New Year.

"Uncle Liang, one day, I will let you live a haode life. And, it won't be long. ”

Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.

"Uncle Liang, come, you can eat more. ”

Yang Ji didn't say anything, only pressed this sentence deep in his heart.

......

The next day, Yang Ji entered the mountains to hunt as usual.

His comprehension is very high, and the methods taught by Lu Ling, he has studied very deeply, and the accuracy of archery is getting higher and higher.

......

Swish!

In the dense grass, a snow-white rabbit fled as fast as the wind, as if someone was chasing it behind it. Suddenly, however, the rabbit's body stiffened, as if it had hit an invisible wall head-on, and he froze there, motionless.

It's too late, it's too soon.

"Huh!"

In the mountains and forests behind, there was a thunderous sound, and then a long arrow shot at it, instantly piercing the stupid rabbit and piercing it to the ground.

Lai Lai!

The grass separated, and Yang Ji had a scurry of prey hanging on his back, carrying a bow, and running all the way.

"Strange ......"

Yang Ji looked at the rabbit, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The arrow just now, according to his calculations, should have shot a few feet forward, but unbeknownst to Weishenme, the rabbit suddenly stopped, and there was no warning beforehand.

If he hadn't already comprehended a little bit of the essentials of "heart and God are one", and changed to a different person, the arrow just now would have missed the shot.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. ”

Yang Ji shook his head, secretly laughed at his suspicion, picked up the rabbit on the ground and turned to leave.

In the next few days, Yang Ji would go into the mountains every day, practicing "Tiger and Leopard Thunder Yin" while hunting.

His hunting skills became more and more sophisticated, and he brought back more and more prey, no longer limited to small animals such as rabbits, fat roe deer, and wild badgers, but also large animals such as foxes, martens, and even wolves.

After all the prey has been devised, the fur is stored by Yang Ji, and after it is stored to a certain extent, it will be sold in the market.

As for the remaining meat, Yang Ji handed it over to the old housekeeper to deal with, ready to dry and make food for the winter.

......

"Howl!"

A white fox suddenly wailed, its limbs straightened, its body trembled, and it was unbelievably shot through the eye socket by a long arrow from behind, and its jaw pierced out, and it was firmly nailed to the ground.

This arrow preserves the integrity of the fur to the greatest extent possible, showing great archery skills.

"What's going on? Here again?"

Behind, Yang Ji rushed over from the woods, slowed down, and looked at the white fox on the ground with a puzzled look on his face.

In the past few days, he has been shooting in the mountains, and he has encountered such a situation several times. The prey fled in a hurry, but as soon as they reached this point, as if they had been greatly frightened, they immediately stopped and remained motionless.

Once can be said to be accidental, but two or three times cannot be explained so simply.

"Is there something strange here?"

Yang Ji frowned and looked ahead.

He could see the white fox clearly just now, and the trembling movement was obviously extremely scared.

Yang Ji subconsciously wondered if there was any powerful beast in front of him, and only when he encountered a fierce beast that was more powerful than himself, the fox would be scared like this, but soon, Yang Ji shook his head again.

If there was really a fierce beast hidden, it would not have been possible to have no movement, and it would have jumped out and eaten these rabbits and foxes a long time ago. After all, the beast is not a philanthropist.

"Go in and have a look. ”

Yang Ji still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, carried the bow on his back, carried the prey, and walked in cautiously.

After dozens of zhang, there is a cliff. The cliff was not high, and beyond that, there was a depression that was common in the deep mountains, with deep vegetation, a few large bare rocks exposed to the surface, and nothing else.

"Strange, nothing at all!"

Yang Ji stood on the cliff with a surprised expression. Standing in his position, there was an unobstructed view of what was under the cliff, and there was nothing special at all.

If there really is any beast, it will not be able to hide in this hollow area.

"Go in and have a look. ”

Yang Ji had no clue in his heart, so he simply found a low place and slid down.

"Phew!"

Suddenly, without warning, a sharp voice came into his ears, scaring Yang Ji into standing on end, staggering back, and his back almost hit the cliff behind him.

"What's that?"

Yang Ji was shocked in his heart, and a feeling of horror arose.

He asked himself if he was a coward, or he was not afraid when facing the eldest lady and several clan elders. But just now, I couldn't help but feel a sense of extreme danger and trembling, as if I would be attacked fatally immediately.

However, the expected attack did not come, and there was silence all around.

It seemed like a moment, and it seemed that an extremely long number of centuries had passed, Yang Ji quickly calmed down in his heart, raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came.

There was nothing in sight of the eyes, except for the grass and a huge bare rock, and there were no terrifying "beasts" around.

However, when Yang Ji's gaze swept over the bottom of the rock, he couldn't help but be shocked and gasped.

Sizzle!

"The Crown Snake ......"

Yang Ji was in a trance, and called out the name almost in a dream.

It was a small black snake, crushed under the rock, and its body was held high, staring at him with a fierce face. Seeing the crown sarcoma on its forehead, Yang Ji recognized its identity almost immediately.

Crown King Snake!

The prey that Lu Ling had been tracking down so hard that he almost lost his life -- the King of Poisonous Snakes, the Emperor of Ten Thousand Snakes!
