Chapter 3: Dreaming Back to the Great Song Dynasty (17) - Enlightenment

☆☆☆

Liang Huaiji didn't care about it, the two looked at each other, and no one avoided it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liang Huaiji also remembered the incident of visiting the dormitory that night, who was that mysterious man? He exposed that the woman who had stabbed him was a fake palace maid, and said that he was a fake eunuch, and what was even more terrifying was that the blow he was determined to win did not hurt him in the slightest. There was such a person in the palace, and even Zhang Ruoshui didn't notice him! What did he mean when he appeared in the queen mother's bedroom? It really made him puzzled.

The game between the two has not yet started, but the two outside the field have already competed and guessed each other's thoughts.

The Imperial Pharmacist and Chris had already agreed, and the two of them would decide the outcome with three arrows.

They came to a position about seventy paces from the target, which was a flat, dense ball of grass, supported by a wooden stick, covered with a piece of leather, and in the middle of which was painted with red paint a three-inch center.

Zhang Ruoshui walked up to them and divided the arrows that had been prepared in advance with his own ice ability to the two of them, each with three featherless arrows.

Featherless arrows, as the name suggests, are arrows without feathers. Generally, the tail end of the arrow is equipped with feathers to make the arrow straight in flight and used to rectify the flow. Although there is no feather at the back end of the arrow shaft, a small hole is drilled three inches at the tail of the arrow, and then a "wind channel" is chiseled in the shaft of the arrow shaft to the tail end.

When Zhang Ruoshui instructed Chris to shoot arrows before, she found that after this kind of featherless arrow was shot, the air entered the "wind channel" from the small hole and then escaped from the tail end, which could cause a kind of vortex, so that the arrow body could maintain balance on the launch track and move straight forward.

Chris picked up an arrow. After being infused with ice qi by Zhang Ruoshui, the entire arrow shaft was wrapped in a layer of frost, and the fingertips touched a burst of extreme cold qi, like ice needles about to pierce the skin. She was surprised in her heart: the arrow shaft was so cold, and she had easily picked it up before, and she didn't feel like this at all. No wonder the Imperial Medicine Master had to hold it through his clothes.

She turned her eyes to look at the Imperial Medicine Master, and found that he was holding a featherless arrow in his hand, no different from holding an ordinary arrow, his expression was indifferent, and he did not have the embarrassment of being afraid of the cold aura on the arrow before.

By the way, at that time, I was practicing the Little Cave Heaven Secret Technique, so I was not afraid of Ruoshui's icy true qi. However, Master said that all my previous internal force was sucked away by kryptonite! But Master and Daddy's internal force also had a cold breath, and Daddy also said that Ruoshui's "Ring Cold Protective Body" was just a small skill for the Xuanzhen School!

She tried to urge her internal force to resist the cold, and the cold and biting feeling eased a little, but there was still discomfort. She asked herself: Is it because I am not good enough?

Thinking about her thoughts here, the Imperial Medicine Master had already stood in the position of facing the target.

First of all, the Imperial Medicine Master shoots the arrow. Unhurried, he took out the first featherless arrow from the quiver behind his back. Zhang bowed and arrowed, and looked at his posture to know that he was not a raw hand. The Imperial Medicine Master aimed slightly, and an arrow was shot, hitting the red heart, although it was not in the middle, it was also counted as an arrow.

Liang Huaiji, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, nodded slightly.

Zhang Ruoshui also praised it very much, and said in his heart: He is worthy of being a little prince!

Now, it's Chris's turn.

Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, the Imperial Medicine Master frowned slightly and reminded, "It's your turn!"

Chris noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on her, and she panicked with her bow and arrows and stepped forward.

The tail of the Imperial Medicine Master's featherless arrow was painted gold, while Chris's tail was cyan, making it easy to distinguish when shot at the target. Seeing her opponent shoot to the left of the heart, she secretly admired it in her heart. As everyone knows, for the royal children, horseback riding and archery are compulsory courses that have been practiced since childhood, and they are naturally good.

After she set up the arrow, she secretly used her internal force, slowly pulled the bowstring, and when the bow was full, Chris's eyes were aimed at the arrow target;

For a while, she was very annoyed, why did she shoot out before she could aim?

"Whoosh...... Smack!" Unexpectedly, the arrow was shot, but it hit the red heart.

Chris thought it was completely missed, but the arrow actually landed in the bull's-eye, and it was in the same position as the arrow of the Imperial Medicine Master. Her heart was pounding, her face was flushed, and she secretly screamed ashamed in her heart, this was purely a blind cat that had met a dead mouse!

The Imperial Medicine Master smiled at Chris and nodded, with the archery level before Lan Yuanxiao, this is really a great improvement.

However, Zhang Ruoshui and Liang Huaiji each saw that something was wrong. Liang Huaiji felt strange, he didn't shoot badly, why did he move so strangely? Zhang Ruoshui looked more closely, and the master didn't seem to be able to fully control the true qi in his body, and he couldn't fuse with the cold and icy qi on the arrow...... It's just that she shot this arrow so hastily that it actually hit, which must be said to be luck.

Seeing Chris's progress, the Imperial Pharmacist couldn't help but feel competitive. He took a deep breath, drew a second arrow, bent his bow, aimed at the target, and fired an arrow, striking the heart again, this time closer to the center of the red.

The Imperial Medicine Master breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Chris with a slight triumph.

Seeing that the Imperial Pharmacist shot this arrow well, Chris suddenly felt a trace of pressure in his heart. Facing the target, she drew a cold featherless arrow and placed it on the string. I don't know what's going on, she only felt that the featherless arrow in her hand was getting colder and more cold at this time, and she hurriedly mobilized her internal force to resist the cold air of Sen Sen.

Don't panic, don't panic, Chris admonished himself mentally while regulating his luck. She remembered that Master had talked to herself that night about the "Tuna Technique" in the Taoist Danjing Immortal Technique. "Breathing" is not ordinary breathing, but adjusting the breath with the mind, focusing on the breath, breathing is a kind of "acquired breath", and the human mind is the acquired "knowledge of God", this is the breathing technique. The master also said that the Xuanzhen School takes "heart and breath dependence" as the key, and gradually transforms from acquired breath to "fetal breath" when the innate primordial spirit appears, which is the starting method of Neidan. This is similar to the "Lock-Nose Flying Essence Technique" of the Cave Spirit School.

Chris's heart moved, although the internal strength he had accumulated before was gone, but the newly practiced internal strength had the same root as the Little Cave Heaven Secret Technique, but why couldn't he restrain the cold and icy qi instead? Could it be that my skills were not enough?

This time, she didn't rush to raise her hand, but took a deep breath, carried the true qi in her hand, and felt that the cold was not so biting, so she pulled her bow and aimed.

But as soon as he concentrated, the biting cold air invaded his fingertips again, and the true qi suddenly burst out, passing through the Quchi point of his right arm, and rushing towards the Yangxi acupoint, Chris was startled, only to feel that his arm jumped, and the arrow shot out uncontrollably again.

The arrow was no longer so lucky, and it landed on the edge of the target with a snap, and almost missed the target.

Chris was disappointed.

She didn't understand, the last time she was in the underground city, Hong Qi had allowed herself to pour her true qi into her hands, and that arrow was both accurate and powerful, and it shattered the stone ball in one fell swoop. It all succeeded at that time, but why did it fail this time.

She shook her arm vigorously, wondering what the hell was going on.

Chris was confused, but Zhang Ruoshui already understood. Chris had been practicing the Secret Technique of the Little Cave Heaven, and a layer of ice gradually appeared in his body. This made the cold qi in the featherless arrow have a sense of the small cave heaven power in her body. And now the small cave heaven secret technique in her body has disappeared, and what she has learned is the supreme internal strength of the Xuanzhen School. The "natural way" of the Xuanzhen school, which is based on the law of nature, is the best practice for the unity of heaven and man. Therefore, it is not difficult to let the true qi running in the body be fused and coordinated with the ice attribute, or in other words, it is not difficult to make the cold qi become the attribute of the true qi in the body. But she thought that the internal skills of the Xuanzhen School that she was practicing now had her own "cold and icy qi".

Now, Chris's true qi is not in harmony with the cold and ice qi on the arrow, and she desperately uses her internal force to suppress the cold ice qi, which is naturally more and more difficult to control the featherless arrow.

Liang Huaiji also saw the crux of the problem, Chris couldn't control the trend of his true qi freely, and the arrow missed.

Seeing that Chris's second arrow was shot so wide, the Imperial Medicine Master felt that he had already won the battle.

He glanced at Chris, who was full of frustration, and relaxed, Shi Shiran pulled out the third arrow, put it on the string, and shot it with a little aim, but this arrow was not as good as the second arrow, and the position of the shot was about the same as the first arrow. But the Imperial Medicine Master was already satisfied, and he put his bow aside and looked at Chris with a smile.

Chris reluctantly returned to his original position in the center of the archery range.

It was the final shot that would make or break it!, she warned herself to stop thinking nonsense.

Stabilizing his mood, Chris raised his bow and arrows. At this time, the true qi became restless again, and she only felt that the true qi rushed through the Quchi acupoint at her elbow and went straight to the Yangxi acupoint at her wrist. She tried her luck, secretly breathing, when the breath was balanced, she raised her hand again to open the bow, just as Chris looked at the arrow target again, suddenly the calm true qi suddenly broke through the Yangxi acupoint, through the fingertip Shangyang acupoint, and actually merged with the cold ice qi in the featherless arrow, Chris only felt that the true qi touched the tail of the arrow, and his senses seemed to be driven forward by the true qi, and he wanted to break the arrow.

Chris was startled, quickly closed his eyes, and unconsciously lowered his arm.

The Imperial Medicine Master looked at it from the side, and couldn't help but laugh, he hugged his hands in front of his chest, and said with a smile: "Lan Yuanxiao, aren't you scared?"

He didn't know that Chris's true qi was agitating in his body at this time, running back and forth between his arm and the featherless arrow, and she was busy suppressing the scurrying true qi, and she didn't hear what the imperial medicine master said at all.

Zhang Ruoshui suddenly said loudly: "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature." ”

This sentence comes from the twenty-fifth chapter of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, which is already a familiar sentence for Chinese. Chris had only recently heard from Yuwen Zhishao.

At this time, Chris heard this again, and his heart suddenly brightened. She silently recited the recipe of this book, concentrated on one thought, her heart was open, and the turbid air in her chest gradually dissipated. Not only that, but his state of mind quickly calmed down, as if it was a peaceful and peaceful force of nature. She tried to adjust her internal breath, only to feel a stream of true qi coming out of the sea of qi, passing through the shoulders, Quchi, and Yangxi, and reaching the Shangyang acupoint at her fingertips, and penetrating with the cold and icy qi in the featherless arrows. The heart is in mind, the intention is reached, the qi is going, the ice is no longer piercing, and the whole body feels extremely comfortable at this time.

I only feel the senses reaching the tip of the arrow.

Chris opened his eyes suddenly, blazing, took the arrow and bent the bow, in one go, without hesitation, raised his hand and shot an arrow, "snap", the arrow hit the center of the bull's-eye, the strength was not gone, and it actually shot through the bull's-eye, through more than half a foot.

"Okay!" the Imperial Pharmacist watched wonderfully, and his mouth unconsciously cheered.

Chris looked at his hands in surprise and delight, and could even feel the chill emanating from them. Inadvertently, Chris turned his true qi into "cold qi" and the "cold qi" on the arrow. In addition, when she was treating Mai Xiu on Scorpion Island, she smoothed the passage between the Shaoyin Heart Sutra and the Ren Pulse, and the power of an arrow was amazing.

Liang Huaiji was amazed at the power of this arrow. The first two times the true qi in her body was noisy, and she couldn't control it herself, and the last time, she listened to Zhang Ruoshui's words, and seemed to have some understanding, when the true qi escaped, it suddenly carried a cold qi, and the cold qi in the arrow was the same as the qi, and it was the same as the cold qi in the arrow, which made the power of this arrow amazing.

But when I thought about it, I noticed something unusual. Liang Huaiji turned his head to look at Zhang Ruoshui and found that he had a satisfied smile on his face. When it comes to the competition, it is very common for the master to guide the apprentice, and Zhang Ruoshui's words at the critical moment made her through. However, Zhang Ruoshui's "guidance" is not the exercise method of the small cave heaven secret technique, but a common sense that is generalized.

Suddenly, Liang Huaiji seemed to have been shot by an ice arrow, his face was stiff, and his mouth was as dry as sandpaper, he looked at the "Blue Lantern Festival" in amazement, the internal strength she had just transported was definitely not a small cave heaven secret technique! Could it be ...... Xuan Zhen ......

He couldn't believe that the woman in front of him, the current Queen Mother, a person who had only learned internal strength more than a month ago, how could she learn the internal strength of the Xuanzhen School?

Although there are thousands of sects of Taoist Danfa, there are only four sects of the Hidden Sect, and each family has its own unique mantra passed down. Of course, Liang Huaiji knew that the internal strength of the Xuanzhen School was different from the other three schools: one was to seek enlightenment, and the other was to be the master.

Does she have the talent for an epiphany?

Epiphany is about qualifications, and that's not something that just anyone has. The father-in-law adopted him back then, also because he saw himself as a piece of material for martial arts. After learning martial arts, my father-in-law once said ecstatically that he was a rare martial arts wizard of the Tongxuan School for a hundred years, and a piece of jade actually came into his hands, and he couldn't stop laughing after speaking. Even so, Liang Huaiji knew very well that he had earned a martial art by studying hard and practicing hard and dripping water through stones, and it was by no means an epiphany! And the woman in front of him actually had extraordinary qualifications that surpassed him? This made him unable to believe it for a while, let alone accept it. (To be continued.) )
