Ming Xuan specially bought another bow and arrow in a small city passing by, and asked the store for detailed advice to make up for the basic knowledge of archery he lacked, and in the following days, Ming Xuan began to practice archery by himself.

After practicing, Ming Xuan found that he was thinking too superficially, thinking that the bow and arrow were just a simple bow and arrow, but it was not the case at all when he practiced, it was not easy to ensure that the hand holding the bow was stable, and it was not easy to shake the hand when shooting the arrow, which could not be solved with great strength, and he also had to know how to aim, how to quickly change the arrow and pull the string, there was no red dot to see in an ordinary bow and arrow, so that you could aim, and when you were really facing the enemy, you could not keep staring at the red dot to see, and then shoot when you were aimed at the enemy, it was too slow, and when you encountered an agile opponent, wouldn't it be completely restrained by him, or be able to operate freely, so as to increase their chances of winning, and to really give full play to the power of this famous soldier.

In the next month, Ming Xuan spent this continuous practice, but archery is only slowly improving, now when shooting arrows at fixed points, ten times can barely be shot eight times, if you shoot arrows in fast movement, it will be miserable, it seems that the practice of archery is far from an overnight thing.

During this time, Ming Xuan has traveled through several cities, and the road to Dragon City has also been one-third of the way, meeting all kinds of people on the way, and seeing all kinds of things, greatly enriching his experience and broadening his horizons, which is also very beneficial to his cultivation on the way to martial arts, not only has he completely consolidated the strength of the second order of martial arts, but also made a lot of progress, no slower than when he was training in the Black Forest.

"While it's still early, let's walk through the mountains and find another town to rest for the night. Looking at the dense woods in front of him, Ming Xuan had a sense of intimacy, after all, he had grown up in the mountains since he was a child, and what he saw every day was the mountains and trees, compared to the hustle and bustle of the town, Ming Xuan felt that he still liked the tranquility and serenity in the forest.

This forest is very dense, if there is not a mountain road left in the middle, Ming Xuan doubts whether he is wrong, this is close to Quanshan, in fact, there is an official road to go, but you have to bypass Quanshan for a long distance, Mingxuan learned from the villagers that there is this shortcut, just pass through this forest, and then walk along the foot of Quanshan, the road is closer than half, compared to the boring official road, Mingxuan also likes to shuttle in the mountains and forests, as if he has returned to Huoyun Mountain.

The mountains and forests are very quiet, it seems that few people walk here, Ming Xuan's instinct in the forest naturally appeared, his spirit immediately concentrated, and began to carefully observe the surrounding movements, not letting go of any abnormal movement, seeing himself like this, Ming Xuan couldn't help but smile dumbly, this is just a small forest, and there are often people coming and going, how can it be dangerous, but the habits that have been cultivated all year round have made Ming Xuan unconsciously like this.

But soon Ming Xuan found that his caution was not superfluous, after walking for a while, the unnatural trembling of the leaves on the tree not far away immediately aroused his vigilance, although it didn't seem to be a fierce beast, but it was better to be cautious, Ming Xuan got off the horse and observed carefully.

"Just try my archery skills. "Ming Xuan had an idea, the distance is also very ideal, the bow and arrow is this good, it can kill from a long distance, it can not only keep himself away from danger but also pose a threat to the enemy, Ming Xuan took off the bow and arrow, and prepared to attack.

Standing, setting up the arrow, buckling the string, pre-pulling, opening the bow, aiming, and taking off the string! Mingxuan will do every detail very standardized, although it is very complicated and cumbersome to do a good job, but if it is developed into a good habit, then it can play a great role in the improvement of their own archery skills in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to correct it in the future, Mingxuan has a deep understanding when correcting Tongmingquan.

Because of the sufficient time to prepare, Ming Xuan has practiced for so long, and this point is still there, and the part where the sharp arrow trembled the most in the middle of the leaf penetrated the dense leaves in an instant, and only heard the sound of "oops", and a heavy object in the shape of a figure fell from the tree.

"Why does it seem to be a human voice, it can't be a shot to someone!" Ming Xuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly ran over, an old man in his sixties was lying on the ground moaning in pain, holding a big gourd tightly in his arms with one hand, and rubbing his buttocks with one hand, it seems that this fall was not light, Ming Xuan checked it carefully, fortunately he was not hit by an arrow.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! You're okay. Ming Xuan couldn't stop apologizing and quickly helped the old man up.

"Oh, you are a descendant!, why are you so short-sighted!" Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ming Xuan was the perpetrator.

"I'm sorry, I saw that this tree was trembling, I thought it was some kind of beast, so I ......" Ming Xuan was embarrassed to continue, there was no danger in the mountains and forests, and he also wanted to try archery on a whim.

"I can't sleep or drink while lying on a tree, I'm looking for someone to mess with!" the old man became more and more angry, and when he was drinking and drinking, he was startled by the arrow that came at him, and fell directly from the tree.

Mingxuan had no choice but to apologize and help the old man up, fortunately, it was no big deal, it didn't seem to hurt his muscles and bones, but because his butt hit the ground first, it was still painful for a while, and it seemed that he couldn't walk at present, but it was strange for the old man to say that he fell from such a high tree, and he would rather have his butt on the ground, and he had to hold the wine gourd tightly, and he didn't need to support it with his hands to cushion it.

"Throw me like this, what do you say. The old man stuck his waist and said with a full breath, no matter how he looked, he didn't look like a person who had been injured in a fall.

"Well, why don't I take you to the doctor. "In this wilderness, Ming Xuan really doesn't know what to do, although he himself knows a little bit of medical skills, but this is not the time to take it out and show it, not only will the old man not believe it, but the part of his injury is not very convenient to check.

"And then?" said the old man reluctantly.

"And?" Ming Xuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

"Is this the end of it!I was shot down by you on the tree for no reason, although I didn't shoot, but I was also scared half to death, and I fell half to death, how can you compensate for it!" The old man saw that Ming Xuan was so not on the road, and the more he talked, the more angry he became.

"Then what do you say? Looking at the spitting old man, Ming Xuan hurriedly took two steps back.

"Hehe, that's what it sounds like! As soon as he heard Ming Xuan agree, the old man's face, which was still cloudy just now, instantly cleared the sky after the rain, and his smile was full of smiles, and Ming Xuan was impressed by the rapid change.

"Well, seeing that you are still young and ignorant, I will not embarrass you, so you will pay for it...... It's better to pay a hundred taels. The old man thought for a moment, and looked at Ming Xuan with his eyes sly, obviously estimating Ming Xuan's financial resources.

"One hundred taels, there's no problem with this. "One hundred taels is actually a lot, if it was when he used to collect medicine, it would be enough for him to work for two months, but now it is only a small amount for Ming Xuan, the Wang family gave him plus the robbery in the robber's den, it can be regarded as a small family fortune, not to mention that Ming Xuan really doesn't want to be so entangled with this domineering old man, but when Ming Xuan was about to pay the money, the old man grabbed him.

"Alas, wait, I haven't finished yet!" Seeing Ming Xuan so refreshing, the old man immediately knew that his price had been lowered.

"Oh, then you say. Ming Xuan was a little annoyed by this old man's inch, this was clearly blackmail.

"And fill me with this gourd wine!" The old man shook the big gourd in his hand again, estimating that it could hold four or five catties.

Mingxuan agreed to come over, the old man was satisfied, Mingxuan helped him on horseback, the old man was more familiar with the road, under his guidance, out of the mountains and forests to the foot of Quanshan, there is a small mountain village, not only doctors, but also restaurants.

After understanding the road conditions, Ming Xuan stopped making a sound, because the old man's unreasonable demands again and again had made Ming Xuan unwilling to deal with him more.

"Housheng, what's your name?" The two walked in silence for a while, and the old man couldn't bear the loneliness.

"Gu Mingxuan. Ming Xuan led the horse in front.

"Wow, we're really fated to do it, and I have a clear word in my name!" the old man looked very happy.

"Oh. Ming Xuan snorted, and he answered.

"Do you know my name?" the old man was in high spirits and entertained himself.

"I don't know. Ming Xuan replied blankly.

"Do you want to know? The old man smiled triumphantly.

"I don't want to. "Mingxuan told the truth, he didn't want to entangle with this old man.

This time he touched the stone, and the old man didn't say anything more.

......

"How long is it going to arrive?" After walking for a long time, still not getting out of this forest, Ming Xuan opened his mouth first.

"I don't know!" Ming Xuan didn't pay much attention to him before, but now that retribution came, he had to keep his head and continue to walk forward.

......

"You can see the village in a short walk up. Seeing that Mingxuan no longer cared about himself, the old man felt bored again, and opened his mouth to answer Mingxuan.

"Oh, are you from that village?" Seeing that the old man answered himself, Ming Xuan was embarrassed to keep his head bored.

"No, but I'm going to that village too. The old man was very happy to see that Mingxuan was taking care of himself again, and at first glance he was a person who liked to be lively.

"Oh. Ming Xuan didn't seem to be interested anymore.

"Don't you want to know what I'm going to do?" The old man came here again, if it was an ordinary person, he would definitely continue to ask, but unfortunately he ran into Ming Xuan.

"No, that's your business. Sure enough, Ming Xuan had no intention of continuing to ask.

"You juniors, you don't have any patience at all! I don't know ......" The old man didn't say anything this time, but instead gushed endlessly, complaining that Ming Xuan didn't respect the elders, but unfortunately Ming Xuan was there to show his response, and he wasn't listening at all.

To "You young people must know how to respect the elderly, and I think I was the same back then...... Alas, alas, why did you stop!" The old man was spitting and spitting, but Ming Xuan stopped, because he was stunned by the qi in front of him.
