It can be suddenly realized that the abbot is strong in internal strength, and strong internal strength is really strong, so he asked: "How can internal strength become stronger?"

The abbot said, "When you can know how many stars there are in the sky, your internal strength will be very deep." ”

He could stand there and look at Uncle Ran on the side in confusion, Uncle Ran nodded to the abbot, and the abbot went into the house alone.

"Uncle Ran, there are so many stars in the sky, how do you count them?"

Relieved shook his head and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”

As the days passed, the leaves fell off one by one, and now all the trees in the Shaolin Temple are like the monk's bald heads. The weather is getting colder and colder, and I don't know how long I have been there, but the wound has already formed and the injury has basically recovered. You can be like a rabbit that can run around everywhere, and at every turn you can run to the abbot and tell him the various answers you get. But in the end, it didn't work, the abbot shook his head, didn't say a word, and recited the scriptures by himself.

One night, you can look at the starry sky and be puzzled. At this time, Shi Ran appeared, and when he saw Shi Ran coming over, he asked: "Uncle Ran, I can't count how many stars there are in the sky, no matter what I say, the answer is not right, this is simply impossible!"

Shi Ran said: "It is not an overnight thing to cultivate internal strength, and it also depends on understanding, some people have cultivated for a year and are very high, and some people have cultivated for a lifetime. ”

Seeing that he could hear this, he was immediately discouraged, and continued: "The improvement of internal strength is a gradual process, how can you achieve it overnight?"

You can keep your head down: "How do you count the stars step by step! There are not many stars in the fuck every night......

Relieved and walked to the side, "I see that your injuries have healed, and I will teach you how to improve your internal strength from tomorrow." ”

A glimmer of light flashed in his originally dim eyes, "Really, Uncle Ran?"

Relieved nodded.

The next day, as soon as the bell in the temple rang, Uncle Ran appeared beside him and told him to get up, and told him that when the first bell rang every day, he would get up, because that time was the time when the essence of all things was most condensed, and it was most conducive to cultivating internal strength. You can get up excitedly and follow Uncle Ran to an overgrown yard.

"You're pulling weeds right here. Relieved pointed to the wide courtyard.

You can look at the dense weeds on the ground, of different lengths, scattered, and unusually vigorous, look at the relief suspiciously, and ask, "Isn't it cultivating internal strength? Why do you want to pull weeds?"

Uncle Ran said, "When you finish pulling out the grass here, I will teach you." ”

You can look at the weeds in the yard at first and panic, and finally gritted your teeth, your heart is ruthless, and you think that it is not just pulling weeds, and it will be done at the end of the day.

Uncle Ran watched from the side for a while at first, but it didn't take long for him to leave, leaving only one person to pull weeds there.

I can think that it would have been easy, but when I really did it, I realized that it was so difficult. Especially when I bend over, I have a sore back after pulling it out for a long time, and after a while, I can look at the countless grass waiting for me in front of me and feel irritable, so I put the grass in my hand on the ground and simply sit on the ground and don't dry.

But after sitting for a while, his physical strength recovered a little, and he thought that only after pulling out the grass Uncle Ran could teach him to cultivate internal strength, he pulled it up again, and it didn't take long for him to stop doing it, so he kept doing it and stopped. Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, I can't even pull out the tip of the iceberg, and I start to feel distressed. At this time, he was hungry and tired, and immediately started to give up.

He could fall to the ground and look at the darkening sky, when a figure flashed, and he got up and saw that it was Uncle Ran who had brought him food. I haven't eaten for a day, and when I see the fasting in front of me, I immediately take a big gulp. Uncle Ran looked at the grass that could be pulled, nodded and said, "Well, it's not bad, I've pulled so much in one day." ”

Then he added, "Come back tomorrow." ”

He could turn around and look at the yard where he had pulled the grass, sighed and said, "There is almost no change." ”

Shaking his head in relief, he said, "At least it's changed." ”

After the sun sets, the night has fallen silent, and you can follow the relief and go back, and your body is a little tired.

"Are you going to give up?" Uncle Ran asked, "If you give up with such a little difficulty, how can you cultivate your internal strength?"

I could hear what Uncle Ran said, my heart became more energetic, and I lit a fire of fighting spirit, and said loudly: "How could Lao Tzu give up!"

In the following days, it can be understood that this is a protracted battle. So he got up at the first bell of the morning to pull the weeds, and when the hour was near, he went back to lunch, and continued to eat until supper. Day after day, Uncle Ran would appear every night, as long as there were stars at night, he would sit in front of the door for a while, counting the stars in the sky, and Uncle Ran would watch from the side. You can ask some questions, but you can always give answers that are more difficult to understand than the questions.

Finally, one day he could pull out the grass in the entire yard, he quickly ran to Shi Ran and said to him: "Uncle Ran, I have finished pulling the grass, now you can teach me internal skills!" Uncle Ran looked at the yard, nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Tomorrow. ”

The next day, I could get up with great interest, feeling that my efforts were not in vain, and Uncle Ran was finally going to teach him to cultivate internal strength. As a result, he threw him a bucket, took him to a place, pointed to the five vats in front of him and said, "If you fill these five vats, I will teach you internal skills." ”

From a distance, the five large cylinders are very scary, they are exaggerated, although they are only not much higher than the ordinary cylinders, but the caliber is four or five times that of the ordinary cylinders, and it is difficult for six or seven people to hug them together. You can take the bucket and run over to the nearest large tank to look at it, and there is only a shallow half of the tank of water in it. I ran to the next vat and saw that there was no water in half of the vat and no water in the next three vat sitting.

Ke took a breath and walked up to Shi Ran and asked, "Then where am I going to fetch water?"

So I was relieved to come to a mountain pool. The water of the pond comes from a waterfall and flows out of a small stream, resulting in this pond being alive all year round, and the water quality is very good and crystal clear.

You can go up and pick up a bucket of water, and when you pick it up, you feel a little strained, but you still hold it up and walk to the five large vats. He poured a bucket of water into the tank with a "whoosh", and the water in the large tank did not change at all, and the larger the caliber the higher it went, the more difficult it was to fill it.

can smash the barrel to the ground in a fit of rage and scold loudly: "I think you lied to me, what kind of bullshit, fucking Lao Tzu doesn't learn!"

Hearing this roar, the people around looked over one after another, and their faces were gloomy with relief.

can continue to scold: "What is the Shaolin Temple, all day long I only know how to ring the bell and chant the scriptures to draw water and weeds and sweep the fallen leaves, and there is to fool people, I don't know how to do it at all!"

Shi Ran still had a gloomy face, and said, "Then what will you do, let me see." ”

"I know how to shoot arrows!" thought to himself, and he didn't have any skills other than archery.

"Then let's shoot arrows!"

You can hear that Uncle Ran wants to compare archery with himself, and he is overjoyed, and the others dare not say, archery he is full of confidence in himself, and he has never missed in the past few years.

Relieved to be able to go to the top of an attic, he opened the dusty window, and there was a forest outside. Then he turned around and walked over to a box, and opened it violently, and suddenly the room was dusty, making it difficult to see what was inside the box and it seemed particularly mysterious.

When the dust cleared, you could see that inside the box was a bow and a few arrows. The string of the bow is loosened to prevent the bow from becoming loose or even breaking due to the tension of the string. Relieved to pick up the bow, one end against the corner of the wall, one end pressed with one hand, the other hand pulled the string, buckled on the bow, and then picked up and pulled the empty string, and the dust on the string fell one after another.

He took the bow to him, then took out a barrel of arrows from the chest, walked to the windowsill, and beckoned him to pass.

"Do you see that tree?" relieved her, pointing out the window, "it's the smaller one between the two larger trees." ”

You can look in the direction of Shi Ran's finger, find the tree, smile, and nod at Shi Ran, thinking that it is too easy to shoot this tree.

"We shot at the big tree on the hill it went up against. Relieved's hand moved up from where it had been pointing to the small tree.

As far as the eye can see, there is indeed a very large tree on the top of the hill, which looks about the same size as the small tree because of the distance. Seeing that he could frown, he asked, "Didn't you see it?"

You can shake your head, "I see that," and pick up the bow and draw it full, "but it's too far to shoot." ”

Shi Ran handed an arrow to Ke and said, "How do you know if you can't shoot it if you don't try." ”

You can take the arrow and say, "Then I'll prove it to you." After saying that, the arrows were wound, and the arrows were almost lowered to the bow, and the whole bow squeaked. At the moment when the arrow slowly approached the bow, it could be shot immediately, and the arrow shot out quickly, heading straight for the tree. As expected, the arrow flew in the right direction, but unfortunately it fell to the ground before it reached the tree. He shook his head and took out another arrow, but pulled it away to the same extent, this time not aiming directly at the tree, but shooting it diagonally upwards at the sky. The arrow first flew into the sky, seemingly aimlessly, and then slowly fell before showing a trajectory towards the tree, but unfortunately it landed on the edge of the tree, and still did not hit the tree.

"I said, it's too far to shoot. "With that, you can put the bow aside.

Relieved to pick up the bow, pull out an arrow from the quiver, and say, "That's just that you couldn't shoot." After saying that, he put the arrow on the bow and drew the bow full. Looking at his hand when he was about to let go, he could realize that he was holding an arrow in his backhand. Just when he could wonder, he twisted the string and adjusted his backhand to a forehand, which surprised him.

Where the bow was held in his hand, the string was twisted alive, but before he could react to what was happening, the arrow had already left his hand, and the bow made a loud noise, and you could see the arrow flying towards the tree and piercing it in the distance.

For the first time, you can find that archery can still do this, which can not only increase the range of the arrow, but also add rotation to the arrow to improve the lethality. Although he was amazed in his heart, he was still not convinced, he just didn't know the method, and if he shot like this, he would definitely be able to shoot.

"I can shoot like you!" can snatch the bow, immediately draw an arrow and hold it on the backhand, and then twist the string as you just saw. What I didn't expect was that with the strength of my hands, it would be too laborious to twist it like this, and I could grit my teeth even if I did it, but my hands were shaking too much, let alone aiming, I couldn't even aim. One or two shakes could not hold it anymore, and the arrow went out and hit the mound not far away, and the hand was also flicked hard because of the tension of the string.

I can know that I can't do it, but I still don't accept it in my heart, I think I have never lost to anyone in archery, how can I lose to a monk. So he quibbled: "You are really an archery skill, we have to compare accurately, not far." ”

"You can't even shoot, how can you compare with me?" asked Shi Ran rhetorically.

"If I want to shoot far, I'll choose a better, more tense bow, this broken bow won't work!"

Nodding with relief, he walked to the box, turned out all the contents of the box, and finally took out something wrapped in cloth at the bottom of the box and walked it to Ke.

"What is this?" can be asked.

Relieved and slowly opened the cloth, you can know that it is a bow. The bow in front of you can be cautious, this bow is wound, even if it doesn't seem to anyone who can't shoot arrows, this is not an ordinary bow. Judging by its color alone, it is darker than a normal bow, and at first glance it looks like it is made of wood but made of iron. The bow itself is much thicker than a normal bow, and the most surprising thing is that there are many scars on the bow, as if it has been cut by a sword, which shows how well it has been killed.

"This bow is called 'Waste', and it itself is made of Wang Shu, and the string is made of thousands of cold silk twisted into one. The juvenile king tree itself is blood-red, and when it dries, it turns black and becomes extremely hard, comparable to steel, and after special treatment, even if it is exposed to the rain, it will not have the slightest effect. Cold silk is even tougher, and a very fine cold silk can pull up several pounds of things. After his strings were first built and only the bow was built, he didn't take it off, first, there was no need for it, and second, once it was taken off, it couldn't be loaded at all with the strength of a few people. Shi Ran explained while holding the bow.

Then he took out a new barrel of arrows, took out one, and said, "This bow cannot shoot ordinary arrows, otherwise the arrow will fly if it is too fast, and the arrow is too light to reflect its power." ”

You can look at the arrow in front of you, not only is it thicker and longer than the ordinary arrow, but even the arrow is sharper and larger.

Relieved to set up the arrow, he clenched the bow and arrow with both hands, and violently exerted force, and the bow was slowly pulled away, and it was so stable that it seemed that it did not seem to use any strength in the eyes of others. When the bow was stretched to a certain extent, as soon as he let go, the arrow "swished" out, and the sound of the string was completely different from that of a normal bow, so small that it was almost inaudible.

Because the arrow was relatively large, it could be seen more clearly, and it hit the tree straight away, which showed how powerful it was.

"Good arrows, good arrows!" can be admired on the side.

I was relieved to hand the bow to it, but I could take the bow only to find that this bow was much heavier than ordinary bows, and I don't know why it gave people a feeling of being difficult to control. You can pull out an arrow even if you bite the bullet, put it on top of the bow, take a deep breath and force it. You can grit your teeth and your hands tremble, but the strings are only pulled apart a little, and after a few attempts, you can give up and put the bow on the windowsill.

Relieved, he took the bow, wrapped it in cloth and put it back in the box with the arrows, and covered the box. At this time, there are only people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, it turns out that Uncle Ran is the real master of using bows and arrows, and he is a little at a loss to stand behind Shi Ran.

Shi Ran ignored him, and walked downstairs after cleaning up alone, he could first stand in place for a while, and then catch up, "Uncle Ran, you teach me archery." ”

Uncle Ran glanced back at him and said, "You can't even pull a bow, how can you learn to shoot." "I was left alone and went downstairs alone.
