Chapter Eighty-One: Fire Raven, Nine Stars in a Row
After Yao Fork, Li Jing and the others were full of wine and food, they came to a clearing behind Dongyi Mountain City.
By the time Li Jing came here, it was already full of ordinary Dongyi people watching the excitement. There were men, women, old and young, all gathered here excitedly, waiting for the competition to begin.
These simple Dongyi people have all received news before, saying that they are the saviors of Dongyi, and the new chief soldier of Chentangguan will have an archery competition with the archers of the clan.
The food brought by Li Jing had already begun to be distributed before the banquet began, and the clansmen near the mountain city had already received some rations. These days, they were finally able to have a full meal again, so they had time to come and watch, and at the same time hope to see what kind of person their great benefactor really was.
"What do you think of this chief soldier, even if he dares to compete with the archers of our clan, I hope that when the time comes, it will not be too ugly, speaking of which, he is still kind to us. A young Dongyi warrior pinched the longbow in his hand and said, obviously he was a man who was proficient in archery, and he was full of confidence in the archery skills of his people.
"I can't say that, the ability of that chief soldier is not small, he dared to fight more than 50,000 of us head-on the battlefield with only 3,000 men and horses, and he is not left behind. A person with such ability, since he dares to agree to the competition, his archery skills should not be low. Another middle-aged man who had participated in the previous siege of Chentangguan told the people around him what he thought.
"Oh, is this Mr. Li so powerful, tell me about it!"
“......”
On the way over, Li Jing probably figured out what kind of competition this was from the medicine fork. It's not like Li Jing imagined, setting up a target over there and letting you shoot arrows directly, which is too underestimating this group of descendants of the arrow gods.
In Li Jing's opinion, this game is actually quite interesting, this way is not strictly speaking, it is not a game, but an event held by the Dongyi people to commemorate the great god Dayi.
The Dongyi people imitated the Dayi shooting sun back then, and would release nine fire crow giant birds in the sky, and then let Dongyi's archers enter the field, and whoever could shoot these nine fire crows down in the shortest time would be considered the winner.
In fact, the Dashang royal family has always complained about such a custom of worshipping Dayi, believing that this is a clear proof that the Dongyi people are still unrepentant about the responsibility of their ancestors. In the 800 years since the founding of the Great Shang State, I don't know how many wars have been waged just for such a ceremony. However, it is still not possible to change the habit of Dongyi people, and it is still held from time to time today, but Li Jing did not expect that he would participate in it one day.
Of course, Li Jing himself would not be disgusted by this custom, and not to mention the justice of Dayi's shooting of Japan, even the great merchants were just using this as an excuse to start a war.
Speaking of the props prepared for this kind of competition, Li Jing is no stranger to it, this kind of giant bird similar to a crow that can breathe fire, tracing back to its origins, is actually with the blood of a golden crow, not as simple as an ordinary beast. It is because the existing fire crow has actually been separated from the category of fierce beasts like the dragon clan and many divine beasts.
They are born with human nature, and they don't need to be like some other fierce beasts, they need to be artificially ignited in order to have the potential to become a demon race.
In fact, this kind of giant bird is very suitable as a kind of Taoist soldier, Li Jing knew that there was a flame immortal Luo Xuan in the sect, he had a Ten Thousand Crow Pot, and he had raised tens of thousands of Fire Crow Dao soldiers in captivity, and his power was extraordinary.
And this Dongyi people can only drive them simply, and they don't know the method of cultivating Dao soldiers, which is really a tyrannical thing. However, this is also very reasonable, if the Dongyi people have the Fire Raven Dao soldiers in their hands, why would they be bullied by the big businessmen here.
Li Jing didn't expect that the person who competed with him turned out to be the medicine fork himself, but Li Jing could understand it when he thought about it, as the patriarch, he should be the best at archery in the clan.
But this time Li Jing wanted to fork, and the reason why the medicine fork came on the field in person was to be foolproof. How to defeat Li Jing without any flaws, he has also been thinking about it in his heart for a long time.
Although according to the plan, Li Jing's archery skills are definitely not weak now, but there will be accidents, and because of the limited time in the altar at that time, he was not able to ask Jin Wu for verification, what is Li Jing's strength.
The two came to the open space, and the medicine fork said to Li Jing: "Please also ask General Soldier Li to invite first, first wish General Soldier a victory." With that, he stepped aside.
He couldn't judge what Li Jing's archery skills were, so he could only let Li Jing go first, so that he could control the time and lose to Li Jing. In order to be able to cooperate without leaving a trace, the medicine fork can be regarded as a painstaking effort.
Li Jing looked at the nine fire crows that were already flying in the sky, Li Jing thought for a while, and felt that since he wanted to win the victory in the hand of the medicine fork, he would definitely not be able to keep a hand, and he had to go all out.
Li Jing took the bow and arrows that had been prepared in his hand, but only nine of the arrows were held. It is to ask yourself to only succeed and not to fail, only one chance.
Such a competition, in Li Jing's view, feels that it is a good opportunity to improve his archery skills. Li Jing decided to use his own archery technique, which had never been very proficient, which was also passed down from the arrow god Dayi. It is said that Dayi used this kind of archery to shoot the sun.
The archery method is called Nine Stars Alignment!
Li Jing is gambling that if he succeeds, not only will his archery skills be greatly improved, but also by using Dayi's archery skills to win this game, not only can he show his respect for the arrow god Dayi, but these Dongyi people are also relatively easy to accept. Although he was defeated in his own hands, he was indeed defeated by his ancestors' archery, and he did not lose face.
Li Jing gestured to the fish maw, indicating that he was ready, and with the order of the fish maw, Li Jing did not hesitate, put on a good posture, opened his eyes wide, and decisively pulled the horn iron bow.
And the golden crow in the heart chakra suddenly opened his eyes, and the two wings waved out two golden lights, which flashed away and directly merged into Li Jing's body. Since Li Jing's attention was all on the nine fire crows at the moment, he didn't notice this abnormality of the golden crow.
Listening to the continuous nine sounds of "whoosh", the nine fire crows in the sky also fell in response.
The audience was silent, and there was no other sound, as if the world stood still at this moment. A moment later, the audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
"This is the Arrow God stunt Nine Stars Alignment, there is no mistake, I will not admit it. ”
"How is this possible, how is this possible......"
"God of Arrows, God of Arrows......"
Seeing Li Jing's outstanding performance, and being able to use that magic technique, the people of Dongyi were not unhappy because Li Jing was a foreigner, and cheered for Li Jing with the same enthusiasm. Including those who still had doubts about Li Jing before, they also cheered excitedly at this moment.
Maybe in their opinion, being able to use this nine-star alignment is actually the same as them, and there is no difference.
