As soon as Long Yun asked Long Yun to pick up a bow from the ground, he let him shoot it himself. He didn't say anything, he didn't teach anything, he just stared from a distance.

However, the arrows that Long Yun shot couldn't even hit the target, and seeing that Long Gang didn't teach him anything, Long Yun was very puzzled.

I thought to myself, isn't it a waste of time to shoot indiscriminately like this? There are still two months before the Orc Hunter assessment will begin, and the time is so short, how can you waste all your time on this!

When he finished shooting the hundredth arrow, Long Gang still didn't react, then Long Yun finally couldn't help it, put down the arrow in his hand, and said to Long Gang: "Uncle Gang, I've shot so many arrows, and I still haven't found any way, won't you teach me?"

"It's not time yet. Long Gang said lightly.

"When is the time?" asked Long Yun a little impatiently.

"Wait until you've shot 20,000 arrows. Long Gang replied briefly.

"20,000 arrows?" Long Yun was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself, it only took him half an hour to shoot a hundred arrows, and he could shoot a thousand arrows without resting for five hours a day, so 20,000 arrows would take at least twenty days to complete, would it be a waste of twenty days like this?

Thinking of this, Long Yun was anxious, and then said to Long Gang, "Uncle Gang, are you sure this is not a waste of time?"

"What's the matter, you're afraid of suffering?" Long Gang said coldly.

Long Yun was anxious all of a sudden, and said angrily: "Why are you afraid? What I'm afraid of is that I just took a detour and wasted the opportunity in vain." ”

After hearing this, Long Gang still said calmly:

"That's how your father trained us back then, not 20,000 arrows, but 100,000, and there were many people who questioned your father's methods, but I didn't question them. Later, I was the only one in the beast hunter team, and I didn't know what the use of shooting like that was all the time, because I believed in your father, and I was the only one in the village who became an orc hunter. Long Yun, if you don't believe me, don't you believe your father?"

"Uncle Gang, it's not that I don't believe you, I just want to know why I have to do this, you know, I have a mission that I have to complete, if I fail this time, not only will I not be able to protect my grandmother, but I won't even be able to take care of Long Yao in the future." So I can't afford to make any mistakes in this matter. Could you please tell me why?" asked Long Yun sincerely, hoping that Long Gang would tell him why.

"If you are new to archery, your hands are weak, and even if you can open the bow, you don't have the extra strength to stabilize the bow, so you need to practice first. The more skills you have, the easier it is to borrow them unconsciously, and the worse the effect of the exercises will be. ”

Long Gang patted Long Yun's relatively thin arm, and then said: "With your current strength, you can only shoot arrows out for ten or so zhang, if you don't practice strength, no matter how advanced your skills are, you can't use them." Moreover, in the process of self-training, you can practice mastering the strength more accurately, so that you can retract and release freely. These can't be taught, only keep practicing, and it is necessary to practice a lot of uninterrupted practice, so that the body can form a habit of archery action, and after the bow is opened, the body will complete the action by itself without thinking about it. ”

Long Yun's comprehension is not bad, and after hearing such an explanation, he suddenly realized.

Hurriedly apologized to Long Gang: "Uncle Gang, I was too impatient just now, I really didn't know that there were so many doorways here." ”

Long Gang shook his hand and said, "It's nothing, this is what your father taught me like this back then, and I still remember it in my heart." I'm a rough person, I'm not good at teaching people this kind of thing, you have to understand a lot of things yourself, I can only teach you in the most brutal way, I hope you can accept it. ”

After hearing this, Long Yun hurriedly replied: "Okay, Uncle Gang, I will definitely complete the task, I will try to shoot 30,000 arrows in twenty days, and then I will ask you for the rest." ”

"Okay, now that you know what's at stake, then you can practice here alone, and I'll come back to you in twenty days. After saying that, Long Gang left.

Long Yun waved goodbye to Long Gang, then took up his bow and shot it over and over again......

The tired birds return to their nests, the sun sets, and the afterglow of the setting sun gradually stains the sky.

The village paths were sparsely populated with figures, all of whom had returned home.

In the dojo in the middle of the village, a young man still stands, raising a bow, pulling strings, shooting arrows, and practicing tirelessly over and over again.

Is he really not tired? If he is not tired, why is his face covered with beads of sweat? If he is not tired, why is his hands trembling? If he is not tired, why are his fingers covered with scars?

He's not tireless, he's just not knowing!

Why didn't he know? just because he had chosen his own way, a lonely way that few people had chosen......

In the afterglow, the lonely shadow of the boy was stretched longer and longer. On the roof in the distance, a mysterious man dressed in white stood straight there, watching all this, and silently chanted: "Zhi Ye ......"

As if sensing something, the boy suddenly looked back, but there was nothing......

Yue'er slowly climbed to the top, Long Yun dragged his heavy body home at this time, there was a meal left for him in the pot, he devoured it, and then fell asleep.

At night, the moonlight fell in front of Long Yun's bed like a wisp of silver threads weaving dreams.

Long Yun had a dream in his sleep, he dreamed that his father was back, he dreamed that his mother was back, and he dreamed that Long Yao's eyes could see. I dreamed that the whole family was sitting at the table, and my grandmother brought delicious dishes, and the family ate them peacefully......

At this time, Long Yun had a long-lost smile on his face.

Early the next morning, Long Yun got up, he brought water, dry food, said goodbye to Long Yao and his grandmother, and rushed to the dojo.

When he set off, Long Yun's grandmother watched him from the dark in the house, and Long Yao called him from afar: "Brother, come back early, don't be tired." ”

"Got it—" Long Yuntou replied without looking back.

Long Yun came to the dojo, he was alone here today, he picked up the bow and arrows on the dojo and began to practice.

After a day's practice yesterday, Long Yun's arms were already extremely sore, and every time he pulled the bow, his muscles were tearing like pain. He couldn't manage so much, gritted his teeth and still raised his bow, pulled the string, and shot the arrow over and over again, and his movements were much more proficient than yesterday.

Long Yun thought to himself, this kind of training is really as Long Gang said, the more he practiced, the stronger he became, yesterday many arrows could not shoot ten zhang away, and today every arrow can shoot twelve zhang away, although he still can't hit the arrow target, but Long Yun is already full of confidence.

Long Yun kept practicing like this, day after day, and soon twenty days passed......
