Zhao Xiaocao said angrily: "Two people fight one, what kind of hero is it? Chang Long, you follow me to clean up and clean them up." Chang Long said: "Okay, I wanted to clean them up a long time ago!" The two of them let out a clear whistle and jumped to the roof. Wang Xue followed the jumpers, grabbed Zhao Xiaocao and Chang Long by the collars behind their backs in mid-air, pulled the two back to the ground, and said, "They Golden Arrow sent their own people to compete, what is the matter with me and you mixing in the past." Hu Xiaochen said: "Is it difficult for us to watch those two scum of the rivers and lakes bully Liu Ang?" Wang Xue said: "Let's watch for a while, if those two people make a killing move, it's not too late for us to make another move." ”

The three men on the roof of the house moved their swords at this time, each holding a wooden bow in their hands and a bamboo feather arrow on their backs, and ran back and forth along the eaves to collect fire. Wang Xue and the others stood under the house, and a feather arrow shot from the roof, and when they saw it, they were about to stab Zhao Xiaocao in the forehead, but Wang Xue caught it casually. Zhao Xiaocao shouted: "Competing with fellow disciples, it is so dangerous, the arrow has no eyes, what if you miss and hurt someone?" Wang Xue said: "No, you see." He took the feather arrow in his hand and stretched it out in front of everyone, but the arrow in front of it was a small dough kneaded into it, not the tip of the arrow, and even if it was shot, it would not hurt anyone.

The three people on the roof ran back and forth, feathered arrows flying wildly. Wang Xue saw Liu Ang running back and forth on the eaves, his body was light and his pace was smart, showing that he was carrying the upper light skills, Ah Da and Ah San shot the arrows very fast, but they didn't hit Liu Ang with an arrow, but Liu Ang didn't know if he had the heart to let go or what, he only dodged the feather arrows one by one, but did not send arrows to fight back, and several times he had found the right time to draw out the feather arrows, but put them back into the quiver. After another moment like this, Zhao Xiaocao couldn't help but shout: "Release the arrow, big brother, hurry up and shoot that reckless man!" Ah Da heard Zhao Xiaocao's shout, his heart was furious, and he grabbed a tile and threw it at Zhao Xiaocao. Zhao Xiaocao dodged, jumped onto the roof, and shouted, "Wow, see which of us can fight?" Ah Da couldn't imagine that Zhao Xiaocao was a person with martial arts, and when he saw Zhao Xiaocao's light skills of flying up to the house, he knew that Zhao Xiaocao's martial arts were not weak, and his heart was awe-inspiring, and he said: "Teach me your high moves." Swinging the wooden bow and fighting with Zhao Xiaocao. Ah San went around to the eaves behind Zhao Xiaocao, pulled out a feather arrow, removed the dough in front of the arrow, exposed the tip of the arrow, and then took the arrow on the bow and was about to shoot at the back of Zhao Xiaocao's head. Wang Xue shouted: "Don't hurt anyone!" Liu Angfei grabbed Ah San's side and raised his wooden bow to hit the bamboo arrow in front of Ah San's bow. Ah San dodged and avoided it, so he could no longer shoot arrows at Zhao Xiaocao. Chang Long and Hu Xiaochen jumped onto the room and surrounded Ah San one after the other. At this moment, three more people jumped on the other side of the back of the room, who were Ah Er, Ah Four, and Ah Wu who had met in the inn a few days ago. It turned out that when Ah Da and Ah San were competing with Liu Ang, his remaining three brothers watched the battle on the other side of the house, until they saw Zhao Xiaocao and others making a move, so they followed suit, and the five of them surrounded Zhao Xiaocao, Hu Xiaochen, and Chang Long, and fought together.

Wang Xue hurriedly jumped to the roof and shouted, "Don't do anything, you have something to say!" But Ah Da, Ah Er and the other five people were red-eyed, and no one paid attention to Wang Xue, Zhao Xiaocao and the others couldn't stop fighting when they saw that the other party didn't stop. Wang Xue saw that the five of them didn't stop, and knew that it was necessary to show their martial arts skills today, so they started light skills, shook their figures, and floated to Ah Da's side. Ah Da was about to raise his bow to block the car, but his wrist was already held by Wang Xue. Wang Xue's left fist struck Ah Da in the face, and with the strength of his right hand, he snatched the wooden bow from Ah Da's hand, and then his body floated elsewhere, snatching the wooden bow in the hands of the remaining four people. The five lost their blades, so they stopped attacking.

Seeing that Wang Xue's high and deep martial arts skills were not inferior to those in charge of the Golden Arrow Sect, Ah Da didn't dare to be as arrogant as yesterday at the moment, so he only asked coldly: "Who are you, why do you want to disturb our martial arts practice." Zhao Xiaocao shouted: "You only practice martial arts, why do you shoot me with cold arrows?" Ah Da said: "You are so close to me, and you say wildly, you deserve to be shot." Hu Xiaochen raised his hand and pointed at Ah Da, and scolded: "Bastard, you can say another word if you have a kind!" Ah Daxin said: "Just say it, is it possible that I am afraid of you?" It's just that although he is not afraid of Hu Xiaochen, he is afraid of Wang Xue's martial arts, so he doesn't dare to say this sentence. Wang Xue said: "You all go down with me, if you have anything to say." He jumped off the roof first, and the crowd followed.

As soon as the door in front of the house opened, dozens of people from the Golden Arrow Sect walked out one after another, led by four white-haired old men, all of whom were sixty or seventy years old. Ah Da and the other five brothers and Liu Ang bowed to one of the old men and said in unison, "Master." The old man waved his hand to a few people, turned his head and looked at Wang Xue coldly, and said lightly: "The contemptible person is the head of the Golden Arrow Sect, named Zheng Yi, I didn't know that the honored guest was coming, and I didn't greet him. Wang Xue saw that the head of the Golden Arrow Sect was a white-haired old man, and he had to grow at least one generation of his own generation in terms of seniority, and listened to this old man's words, so he didn't dare to be rude at the moment, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Junior Wang Xue, meet the old Zheng senior." Zheng Yi saw Wang Xue and others in the house before using martial arts with his disciples, and said that Wang Xue came to kick the hall, and it was common for the martial arts hall to come to the door to kick the hall in the name of learning art, but at this time, he saw Wang Xue with a beautiful appearance and well-behaved words, not like a barbaric person who came to the door to make trouble, not to mention that he had also heard of Wang Xue's reputation on weekdays, knowing that Wang Xue was chivalrous and heartfelt, and was by no means a wicked person, his mood was slightly gentle, and his face was polite, and he said: "It turned out to be the famous Wang Xue heroine on the rivers and lakes, disrespectful, disrespectful." I don't know what has offended these stubborn disciples of mine, and my Golden Arrow Sect will severely punish them. Wang Xue first saw the Golden Arrow Sect in charge, and it was inconvenient to sue as soon as they met, so he skipped the matter of the inn yesterday and did not talk about it, only briefly said about the appropriate talents, and finally said: "The disciples of your sect and my naughty disciples had a little misunderstanding, it's not a big deal, I just wanted to share the misunderstanding, and I didn't have any disrespect for your faction." As he spoke, he handed the wooden bows back to the five of them one by one. Zheng Yi knew that Ah Da and a few others had always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and if Wang Xue didn't take down their wooden bows, they wouldn't give up, so he waved his hand and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, a little misunderstanding doesn't hurt the peace." Three days later, it was the day of Xiao Lao'er's retirement and sealing the arrow, when the Golden Arrow faction held a big ring to elect a successor, if Wang Xue heroine had nothing to do, please come to give advice. Wang Xue was strange in her heart, obviously there was no ring around, how to elect a successor, and she didn't ask in detail at the moment, anyway, she would be clear when the time came, and she should say at the moment: "Don't dare to give advice, I will definitely come to see the excitement that day." ”

Zheng Yi and Wang Xue were humble to each other a few words, and then took a few disciples back into the martial arts hall to practice martial arts, all the sects and factions in the martial arts easily refused to pass on their own martial arts, Wang Xue, Zhao Xiaocao and others were not from the Golden Arrow faction, Zheng Yi wanted to take his disciples to practice martial arts, and it was impossible to invite Wang Xue into the house. Ah Da, Ah Er and other five brothers walked at the end, and Ah Da took advantage of Zheng Yi's inability to see him, and quietly made a scolding gesture to Liu Ang beside Wang Xue. Liu Ang was loyal, and he didn't want to make vulgar gestures in return, so he just pretended not to see it, and waited for all the people to enter the house, and then thanked Wang Xue and the others.

Wang Xue said: "Little brother, when you try to make a move, you must shoot immediately, don't hesitate, just when you compete with those two senior brothers of your faction, you have a lot of opportunities to shoot arrows, especially when you turn around, the opponent does not expect that you will release the arrow immediately after turning around, and you will not be defenseless in your heart." As he spoke, he took a few steps lightly, then turned sharply, and made a gesture of archery with his hands in a bow. Wang Xue saw that Liu Ang had a good character, so he had the heart to give advice, but Liu Ang only smiled faintly after hearing it, as if he didn't listen to Wang Xue's words, his face was full of casual perfunctory, and said: "The younger generation has been taught." Zhao Xiaocao shouted: "Hey, why are you like this, my master is the first Wang Xue Woman in the world of martial arts, she instructed you in martial arts, that is the blessing you got from being a cow and a horse in your previous life, why are you not rare?" Chang Long followed and said: "My master instructed you in martial arts, and in three days, you can show your skills in the ring and win the position of the head of the Golden Arrow Sect." Liu Ang smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't know the teachings of Wang Xue's predecessors, and it's not that I don't respect Wang Xue's heroine." It's just that in the ring match three days later, the person who wins the position of head will be Ah Da, not me. Wang Xue asked: "Why is this, is it possible that the elders of your sect are sitting on the buckle?" suddenly thought of something else, and asked again: "Didn't you say the ring match, why is there no one building the ring at this moment?" Liu Ang raised his hand and pointed to the roof and said, "The roof is the ring." The Golden Arrow Sect martial arts, known for its light skills and hidden weapons, the Golden Arrow Sect was originally founded by the assassins who flew the eaves and walked the wall, and the ordinary Jianghu people used martial arts to compete in the ground and the light, and the assassins did attack on the walls and roofs, for the assassins, the roof was the ring. On the day when the head of the family seals the arrows and returns to seclusion, he will take the other three uncles to lay down a 10,000-arrow array on the roof, and whoever can go up to the house to break the formation will be the next generation of heads. Wang Xue said: "I see, this is too good, the roof competition is the most test of light body kung fu, I see that your light skills are not weak, much better than that Ah Da Ah San, you will be able to win the position of the head." I was still worried that if he was allowed to take the position of head of the house, the people of Zhongmu County would suffer. ”

Liu Ang sighed: "There may be a little bit of light skill in the younger generation, but the archery skills are not very good and cannot be won." Wang Xueqi said: "Why is this?" In front of the martial arts hall is not the place to speak, Liu Ang took Wang Xue to the side under a few willow trees, and sat down on the stone steps under the trees to enjoy the shade. Liu Ang said: "It's not a secret, the younger generation was originally a member of the Luliang clan in Shanxi Province, Jizhou. Wang Xue heard the words "Jizhou Luliang", his heart was shocked, and he immediately remembered Liu Changfeng, the chivalrous man who helped the weak on the rivers and lakes more than ten years ago, and heard that this person was a native of Shanxi, and blurted out: "Who are you Liu Changfeng, the immortal of the Divine Arrow?" Liu Ang said: "It is my father." Wang Xue said: "Liu Daxia is a master of archery and light skills, why don't you follow your father to practice martial arts, but you have to come to the Golden Arrow Sect thousands of miles away, is the martial arts of the Golden Arrow School better than your father? Your father is a master of archery, why do you say that you can't shoot arrows?" Liu Ang said: "When I was a child, I followed my father to practice martial arts, and I always wanted to become a great chivalrous man like my father. My father taught me martial arts and was very strict with me. We have a family heirloom called 'Short-lived Three Arrows', which allows you to shoot three arrows at the same time from one bow, and three arrows can shoot three enemies in an instant. Chang Long couldn't help but shout: "Three arrows on one bow at the same time, and it can also shoot in three directions at the same time, you should think it is the Houyi Divine Bow." Wang Xue said: "There is indeed such a move, you can put three feather arrows on one bow, and you can shoot in three different directions at the same time, which is a high-level trick at the top level." When I was young, my elder brother Xiao Yuansheng also taught me this trick, but I was too stupid at that time and always couldn't practice well. Hu Xiaochen asked Liu Angdao: "You follow Liu Daxia to learn archery and light skills, which is better than being an apprentice in the martial arts hall, why do you want to come to Zhongmu County from far away?"

Liu Ang said: "The short-lived three arrows is a very difficult trick in archery, I was only seven or eight years old at the time, where can I learn? Zhao Xiaocao sighed and said, "You are so pitiful! If you don't practice martial arts well, you will have to be beaten, I have already been beaten to death by my master at this moment." Wang Xue said: "When I was young, I practiced boxing with my father, and my father often beat me with a stick. I know how painful it is, and I know how pitiful it is to be beaten, so no matter how greedy you are, I won't beat you. Especially you, Chang Long, I didn't beat you because I felt sorry for you, but I didn't know that you were lazy. Chang Long laughed a few times and said: "These vulgar people in the world always think that they can teach filial piety masters by beating and scolding harshly, but they are really ignorant. Hu Xiaochen said: "It's hard to say, Master Wang Xue was severely beaten and scolded by his father when she was a child, and her martial arts are very profound." Wang Xue said: "I was only three or four years old when my father died, and my martial arts practice to the point where I am today was later taught by Senior Brother Liu, who has never beaten or scolded me." I never think scolding is useful. ”

Liu Ang sighed lightly and said: "Master Wang Xue is so open-minded, worthy of the word 'woman', but my father can't understand it, forcing me to practice archery all day long, and if an arrow misses, it will be a stick." At that time, I was young, and I practiced so hard, and then something finally happened. Then he sighed softly. Zhao Xiaocao hurriedly said: "Say what happened to the practice." Liu Ang said: "Do you think, the short-lived three arrows have to shoot three arrows at the same time, at that time I was young, how could I shoot accurately?" Zhao Xiaocao shouted: "Ah, I know, you shot someone." Liu Ang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I shot one person to death." His last sentence was extremely soft, but there was silence under the willow tree behind the martial arts hall, and everyone could hear this sentence clearly. The crowd was silent for a moment. After half a sound, Liu Ang said: "That day I practiced archery against the target, I practiced for a whole day, I was really tired of practicing, and the last arrow finally missed the head and shot at the senior sister who came from the side. Coincidentally, the arrow hit the heart of the senior sister, and the senior sister was absolutely stunned on the spot. My senior sister has always loved me the most, alas, ......" Chang Long couldn't help but think: "You were still a child at that time, and you couldn't even shoot a static bull's-eye, but you can shoot a big living person who can walk and move, and the difference in archery skills can be imagined, and you deserve to be beaten by your father." But I only dare to think about this sentence in my heart, if I say it, I will inevitably be scolded by everyone for being cold-blooded and ruthless.

Wang Xue said: "Everyone has their own fate, you don't have to blame yourself too much, your senior sister has a spirit in the sky, and I guess I won't blame you." What happened?" Liu Ang said: "Later, I had a big fight with my father, and I left home in a bad mood, determined to never practice martial arts again. One day I came to Zhongmu County and saw the martial arts hall of the Golden Arrow Sect. The Golden Arrow Sect is also really tough, the light skills and archery skills they practice are the kung fu of the assassins, the assassins sneak attack and kill people wear night clothes that are not easy to be detected, while the Golden Arrow Sect is that everyone wears white, that is, they have enough confidence in their archery skills. I was looking at the big signboard of the Golden Arrow Sect, and my heart surged back to the ambition of wanting to be a hero when I was young, so I came to the Golden Arrow Sect and worshiped Zheng Yi as a teacher. But every time I pick up the bow and arrow, I can always see the smile of my sister and the tragic death of her that day, whenever I see such a situation, my hands can't help but tremble, all these years I have competed with my brothers on the roof, I only dare to use light skills to fight, but I dare not send an arrow, I know that the tip of the arrow is loaded with dough and can not hurt anyone, but I am always afraid that I will kill again. Hu Xiaochen said: "I see, no wonder you are so good at light skills, but you always refuse to release arrows, but it is because of this incident." Liu Ang said: "Our Golden Arrow Sect has tried with each other, comparing light skills and archery, and other martial arts are not allowed, I dare not shoot arrows, and I can't win the Ten Thousand Arrows Array." Master Wang Xue, I understand your kind advice, but I can't do this position of master, and the ambition of a hero will always be just an ambition. As he spoke, he took off the wooden bow he was carrying on his back and gently threw it on the ground.

Zhao Xiaocao encouraged Liu Ang and said: "The ancients said, there will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and you should persevere." Hu Xiaochen said: "Lao Ji is in the twilight of life, the martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong, not to mention that you are not in the twilight of your life, at most you are just a teenager, how can you give up on yourself?" Chang Long originally wanted to comfort Liu Ang a few words, but he didn't know what to say, and then he heard Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen recite the famous sentences in the book, and thought: "I am a scholar in the city, and I know more about this kind of poetry than you countrymen." So he said: "When you are old, you should be strong, and you would rather move the heart of the white head, be poor and strong, and not fall into the ambition of the clouds." I felt that just saying one sentence was not enough to show my literary brilliance, so I said again: "The three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition." ”

Chang Long said that the first sentence was okay, but as soon as the second sentence came out, Zhao Xiaocao changed his face, lowered his eyebrows, and shouted to Chang Long: "After Liu Ang is a famous family, how can you say that he is a puppet?" Chang Long said: "How can I scold him?" Zhao Xiaocao shouted: "You obviously have!" Liu Angzheng was bored and said to Zhao Xiaocao: "What Chang Gongzi said is right, I am a puppet." Zhao Xiaocao said: "He is the horseman." Chang Long said angrily: "You country girl really has no ink. Zhao Xiaocao shouted: "You have a kind of seed and say another word." Hu Xiaochen saw that the two were arguing, and hurriedly explained to Liu Ang: "The two of them just love to quarrel, Chang Long is not scolding you." Zhao Xiaocao sneered: "I didn't scold him, could it be that I was scolding you?" Hu Xiaochen was stunned, thinking that Chang Long likes to show off his literary talents, and it is difficult to say that he is really referring to Sang and scolding Huai, so he turned back to Chang Long and said: "You too, when have you been, and you still talk nonsense." Chang Long couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Why don't you have any ink on your chest? Liu Ang said: "You said I was a puppet." "The four of you quarreled with me word by word.

Wang Xue didn't think about the noisy children, bent down to pick up the wooden bow that was dropped by Liu Ang on the ground, saw that the wooden bow was a little old, it seemed to have been exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, and saw that the two ends of the wooden bow were tied to the bowstring has been ground to a gap, obviously changed the bowstring many times, and suddenly shouted in his heart: "Don't make noise." The four stopped arguing and turned to look at Wang Xue. Wang Xue sent the wooden bow to the eyes of the four of them and asked Liu Ang: "Although you don't dare to shoot arrows in front of your senior brothers, have you been quietly practicing archery all these years? Liu Ang bowed his head and did not answer, but there was a tacit acquiescence in his expression.
