Chapter 22: Bloodstreaked Steel

After walking through four busy streets, a distance of 5,000 steps, Hong Yi came to the bow and arrow shop "Guan Lie" in the east of Yujing City.

Facing you is a pavement, with a three-storey pavilion facing the street, with a large gold lacquer signboard on it.

"This is the pavement of the lice. Hong Yi looked up at the gold signboard, the words were deep and powerful, and the pen was like an arrow, which made people have the idea of "this store is not trivial, it is better to go in and have a look".

The name "Guan Lie" is also very ingenious, showing the pinnacle of bow and arrow manufacturing technology.

It turns out that after ancient times, there was a god shè hand who hung a lice a hundred steps away, and an arrow could penetrate the lice. Such a realm has always been recorded in the classics and is well-known. Over time, people have regarded "lice" as a pinnacle of archery shè art.

"Penetrating lice" is a higher realm than "100 steps through the poplar".

The shop was bustling with people coming and going, but most of them were students in green shirts, as well as inmates in the costume of the university national superintendent, with a square crown and two straps hanging down from the brim of the hat. There were also some powerful samurai dressed in foreign costumes.

The Great Qian Dynasty was powerful all over the world, and the manufacture of weapons was also high-class, not to mention that Yujing City was the largest trade exchange center, and there were all kinds of strange things in some shops. Because whether it is Huoluo in the West, Yunmeng in the East, Yuantu in the West, Kamikaze in the South, Liuzhu and other countries, they all like to travel thousands of miles to Yujing to purchase things.

It's the New Year, and the shops in Yujing City are especially lively.

"These readers, the prisoners come to buy bows, they are nothing more than hanging in the study, expressing that they are all six arts, in fact, I haven't seen a few readers who really have six arts. ”

Hong Yi walked into the store and saw many scholars and prisoners who bought bows, thinking to himself.

The six arts of reading people: etiquette, music, shè, royal, calligraphy, and mathematics. Among them, shè, the two arts of royalty, is to pay special attention to riding shè, and "royal" is riding.

In the early days, the Daqian Dynasty also attached great importance to martial arts, but after a long period of prosperity and strict control, the style of writing overshadowed the style of martial arts. Moreover, twenty years ago, the imperial court abolished the riding shè in the imperial examination, and purely determined the good and bad by literary warfare, a pair of swords and guns were put into storage, and horses were put into the Nanshan Mountain, and now there are very few Chinese martial arts scholars who read books.

Hong Yi has practiced excellent fist and foot kung fu for so many days, and his soul is out of his body every day, watching Hong Xuejiao practice boxing, and being familiar with the martial arts, thinking in his heart, observing that his eyesight has already been some, and he found that most of these scholars who came to buy bows did not have martial arts, and the flesh on his body was loose and loose, and there was no sign of being tightly and strong.

"Hmm, I can actually tell that people have martial arts and don't have martial arts? ”

Suddenly, Hong Yi noticed a change in himself.

I became smart.

This kind of realization made him very happy.

The walls were covered with all kinds of bows for people to choose from, and Hong Yi approached and looked at the longbow and short bow with a handle.

"Guest, what kind of bow do you want? We have cow tendons, silk tendons, python tendons, bamboo, mulberry wood, chestnut wood, and fine troop wood. Seeing that you are wearing a green shirt and a talented son, then you must buy this kind of bow with gold lacquer painting magpies, buy it back and hang it in the study, which is both elegant and heroic......"

Seeing Hong Yi wandering and watching, a neat guy immediately greeted him.

"Get me a chestnut horn silk bow with sixty pounds of bow power. Hong Yi looked at the bow of the gold lacquer painting magpie introduced by the guy, the bow body was painted with golden light, and the vermilion painting magpie was mixed in the middle, but he knew that it was just useless to re-watch, and it was something that decorated the study.

"Okay. ”

The man immediately got a bow of medium length with a stretched and powerful string.

Hong Yi took the bow and stretched out his hand to stroke it, and couldn't help but be excited in his heart. Even this bow costs seven or eight taels of silver, and he only has four taels a month in the Hou Mansion, and he has to buy pen, ink, paper, clothing, food, firewood, lamp oil, etc. every month, and the money saved can't buy this bow.

"Fortunately, I have recently received a hundred taels of silver from the bookkeeper, and ten red coins, which are enough to buy some good things, but unfortunately I can't buy horses. However, a bow is enough for training. How about I try this bow?"

Hong Yi held the bow and silently recited the inner kung fu of "shè yi" in the six arts in his heart: "Righteous heart, no evil thoughts in the heart, no distracting thoughts." Sincerity, the intention is to target first, and think inside and outside. Focus: Stop being at ease and eliminate noise. Dading: Calm and relaxed, although the battlefield is shè, the face still does not change sè. ”

After meditating on these mental methods, Hong Yi gave birth to a sense of calm and relaxation.

At the same time, he kicked out with his thumbs on both feet, grabbed his little fingers, parted his knees, sucked his hips inward, his waist was dark, his chest was exposed, his navel was facing the ground, and his heart was down.

The heart method is the truth of reading shè righteousness.

His movement is the opening bow technique of the Bull Demon Powerful Fist.

The whole bow was pulled into a full moon at once, and when the string was loosened, it made a crisp, powerful, solid sound.

"Good bow, you can hear it when you listen to the sound, this is it. Hong Yi took a few breaths, adjusted his breath evenly, and then spoke, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.

Originally, he opened the bow just now, and when he pulled it, he only felt that the tendons of his whole body were pulled up, and they were like the bowstring, which were broken tightly, and as soon as the bow was released, the tendons of the whole body seemed to be shaking with the bowstring.

After opening the bow, there was a tearing feeling that the tendons in his whole body were twisted violently, and his waist, legs, abdomen, arms, back, and neck all had a dull pain, which seemed to make him speechless.

"No wonder opening the bow is the first way to practice strength, the ancient sages have set it as one of the six arts, there are a variety of methods of training in martial arts, there are back iron sand, tie lead, press the waist and abdomen, roll the stone ball, play with stone locks, carry the gun stick, but they are not as good as the bow. I just opened the bow, and before I could even talk about aiming, I was already cracked all over, let alone a beaded hair, and the arrow hit the target. ”

Hong Yi opened a bow once, and finally knew why the bow horse shè art was the most basic and important part of martial arts. The exam in the army is also a test of this.

"Childe is really good eyesight, our bow through the lice number is the first in the world, and the handle is good. There were seven silver loaves in all. Hearing that Hong Yi had bought a bow, the guy immediately laughed.

Hong Yi discharged seven silver coins of one tael, and was about to go back to open the bow to practice, the guy smiled again, and bowed his waist again and again: "Looking at the way the prince opens the bow, he must be a person who is both civil and military, won't the son buy a sword and go back?"

"Buy a sword, where is the sword?"

"Childe, please go up to the second floor. "Enthusiastic guidance from the guy.

The weapons law of the Great Qian Dynasty: forbidden crossbows and forbidden bows, forbidden swords and forbidden swords. However, ordinary people can only go back to collect swords when they buy them, but they can't walk on the road at will. Otherwise, they will be caught. Only Xiu can walk with a sword. As for knives and guns, they are not allowed to be bought and sold, let alone walked on the road.

Walking up to the second floor of the "Guan Lie", there are many fewer people, because the value of a good sword is much more expensive than a bow.

The swords on the second floor are all placed on the shelves, all of them are bright and shining, spotless, and the swords are sharp, and they are made of fine jīng steel at a glance.

"Childe, this is the best sword for our lice, if you are still not satisfied, then wait a few days, even if you want a magic weapon made of ladder steel, ice crack steel, and ju pattern steel, we can also help you get it. As long as you pay a down payment. But I haven't heard of the blood-patterned steel sword you want. ”

As soon as Hong Yi went upstairs, he heard a voice.

I saw a young man wearing the uniform of Guozijian University, shaking a plain white fan, followed by two people with strong bodies, who looked like master guards.

"The blood-patterned steel is refined by the Taoist priest in the furnace, and the steel is densely covered with blood, just like human flesh, it is an immortal weapon that is assassinated by the Divine Soul Exorcism Flying Sword, and the Jade Capital City of the Daqian Dynasty has everything, and there are many Taoist temples, how can there be no such thing?"

This young man shook his fan and talked to himself, it was a pity, Hong Yi heard the voice, it was crisp and not like a man, and when he peeked, he found that there was no Adam's apple, and he was actually a tomboy dressed as a man.

Hong Yi's surprise is not trivial.

Guozijian is a imperial university, and there can be no women in it.

"But it's not possible, unless, unless it's the royal princess from the surrounding countries who came to Yujing City to study and study. She's going to buy Bloodstreaked Steel?"

Hong Yi is careful and observant, and at a glance, he has five or six guesses in his heart.
