Chapter 6 The bow is like a thunderbolt
Li Jing led the Black Flame Horse out of the Yin Mansion, turned over his horse outside the door, and shouted softly: "Go!"
Hearing this, the Black Flame Pony spread its hooves and galloped down the street in the middle of the street.
Chaoge is the capital of great commerce, and powerful officials and eunuchs gather. These people rode horses in chariots and horses, and there were those who were humble enough to avoid pedestrians, but there were also many people who relied on the situation to rampage, which led to the tragedy of chariots and horses colliding and trampling on passers-by from time to time. Two years ago, Li Jing witnessed such a tragedy with his own eyes, and immediately went back to his home to have a deep talk with his father Li Bingzhi. The next day, Li Bingzhi presented a recital to Emperor Yi, the emperor of the current dynasty, detailing the plan for planning the traffic on Chaoge Street.
Emperor Yi was convinced that it was true, and immediately issued a decree in accordance with the plan proposed in the recital, stipulating that pedestrians should only walk on the right side of the street, and that there should be a gallop road and a trail on the road. As a result, the traffic situation of Chaoge was greatly improved, and Emperor Yi Dayue rewarded Li Bingzhi for his good advice on the one hand, and began to promote this method to all parts of the world on the other hand.
Although it was on the galloping road, Li Jing also controlled the degree of the black flame horse and did not allow it to gallop with all its might. Seeing that the Black Flame Horse seemed to be humming rather unpleasantly, Li Jing reached out and patted it lightly on the side of its neck, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll take you out of the city later, and keep it for you to gallop happily." ”
Li Jing rode his horse and trotted all the way, through several streets, to the southwest corner of Chaoge City. The "Lian Feng" operated by the Yin family is located here. The "Lianfeng" covers an area of five miles, and because it supplies the ordnance of the big merchants, it is a military land, so it is surrounded by thick high walls, like a small castle.
In front of the gate of the "Lian Feng", the soldiers of the Yin family guarding the door all knew Li Jing, and they all saluted respectfully and called: "Young Master Jing!"
Li Jing waved his hand to signal everyone to be exempt, and did not dismount, but went straight to the door. Inside, I walked along a wide road that could accommodate four large cars in parallel, and a large and tall hall appeared in front of me. He dismounted outside the door and whispered a few words in the ear of the Black Flame Pony, and without tying the reins, the Black Flame Pony obediently stood by the door and waited.
At this time, the people in the hall had already seen Li Jing coming, walked a few steps to the door to greet him, and said, "The old slave Yin Lu has seen Young Master Jing. ”
This Yin Lu is in his fifties, and he has followed Yin Zhongda since he was a teenager, because he is loyal and shrewd and wise, he has always been the most trusted by Yin Zhongda, and he will take care of the daily affairs of the "Lian Feng".
Li Jing smiled: "Uncle Lu doesn't have to be polite. ”
Yin Lu let Li Jing into the hall, invited Li Jing to sit on it, and personally served refreshments, before he smiled and asked, "Young Master Jing came to the 'Lian Feng' today, but there is something wrong?"
Li Jing replied: "Uncle Yin said that Master Chenyue had just made a 'Thorn Rhino Bow', and it happened that I needed a good bow for something, so Uncle Yin gave me this bow and asked me to pick it up myself. ”
"I see," Yin Lu nodded, and said, "Young Master Jing, please wait a moment, and the old slave will go and fetch the 'Thorn Rhino Bow'." With that, he turned the screen on the front of the hall and hurried to the back storeroom.
Li Jing waited in the hall while drinking tea.
After a while, Yin Lu led two young men out from behind the screen, and the two of them each held a large tray in their hands. On one tray lay a clumsy short bow, and on the other lay a quiver with the tails of dozens of long, black-stemmed and white-feathered arrows.
"Young Master Jing, this is the 'Thorn Rhino Bow' made by Master Chenyue himself. According to the master, this bow is one of the finest pieces he ever made. Yin Lu took the short bow with his own hands and presented it to Li Jing with both hands.
Li Jing stood up from his seat and stretched out his left hand to take the bow. I only feel heavy when I start, and there are enough pounds of weight. He looked down at the short bow, the two ends were two feet four inches apart, the purple-red back of the bow was metallic, but the tentacles were warm, and the translucent bowstring was slightly thinner than the tail finger.
Yin Lu introduced on the side: "Young Master Jing, Master Chenyue has repeatedly quenched thousands of catties of refined iron by channeling the true flame of the earth flame, and finally obtained more than thirty catties of extremely flexible purple flame iron, and personally beat it into a bowed back. This bowstring is a main tendon of the demon beast 'Cold Ice Jiao' that the old man bought from the north a few years ago. Master Chenyue used thirty-six rare medicinal herbs to prepare a potion, and soaked and refined this tendon, which was originally the thickness of a baby's arm, for a whole year before it was condensed to the point where it is today. ”
Li Jing heard the interest and said with a smile: "Such a good bow, but I don't know what the power is?" As he spoke, he used his left hand to hold the short bow steadily, hooked the bowstring with the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of his right hand, and pressed his arms back and forth to slowly pull this "thorny rhino bow" away.
Yin Lu and the two family members were dumbfounded. On the day the bow was made, Yin Zhongda had ordered people to test its power, but even a few strong men with extraordinary strength could not pull the bow away. In the end, it was a master guard by Yin Zhongda's side who was said to have practiced qi to come on the field, and he barely pulled the bow full. The young master Jing in front of him was only twelve years old, and he was not only able to draw the bow to the fullest, but even showed that he still had spare strength. I really don't know how his yet-to-grow body contains such terrifying divine power.
As soon as the three fingers of Li Jing's right hand were loosened, the back of the bow made of purple flame iron and the bowstring refined by the tendons were suddenly retracted inward, and there was a deafening sound. Although there were no arrows on the string, an invisible air flow shot out in response to the string, hitting the wall a few feet away, and it rattled.
"What a strong bow!" Li Jing was very satisfied with the "Thorn Rhino Bow" in his hand. He was able to pull this bow to the fullest, but it was the result of using his true qi, and if he only relied on his own strength, he couldn't pull the bow apart either.
Yin Lu came back to his senses, with a look of admiration, and held the quiver on the other tray: "Young Master Jing, although these feather arrows are not made by Master Chenyue, they are also refined and top-grade made by several of his disciples. This bag of thirty-six sticks should be enough for you for a while. ”
Li Jing took out an arrow from the quiver and looked at it, and saw that the arrow was three feet long, the three-edged fine iron arrow was finger long, the arrow shaft made of iron bamboo was straight, no arc and no knots, and the carved tail feathers were neat, which was really a fine product. With a satisfied smile on his face, he inserted the arrow back into his quiver, picked it up and carried it diagonally behind his back. said goodbye to Yin Lu, went out with the "Thorn Rhino Bow", flew on the Black Flame Pony, and rode away.
After leaving the "Lian Feng", Li Jing came out of the West Gate to sing, walked out of a section, and saw that the road was already sparsely populated, so he gradually let go of the degree of the Black Flame Horse.
The black flame horse, which was finally able to gallop, let out a hearty long hiss, its hooves spread, and its huge body turned into a black lightning and rushed wildly. Li Jing only felt that the wind was loud in his ears, and the scenery on both sides flew behind him, and in an instant, it was nearly a hundred miles away.
Looking at the mountains and forests that have arrived in the western suburbs of Chaoge, Li Jing pulled the reins to make the Black Flame Horse lower the degree, pulled out a long arrow from the quiver behind his back with his right hand, and rode his horse slowly into the mountains, hoping that some birds and beasts would appear, so that he could try the power of this "thorny rhino bow". But after walking for a while, I saw that there was silence everywhere I went, and I couldn't see half of the prey.
"Strange, there should be a lot of birds and beasts here on weekdays, why is it so deserted today?" Li Jing muttered to himself with some confusion, and suddenly looked down and saw a stream of scorching smoke snorting from the nostrils of the Black Flame Horse, and immediately understood the reason. Angry and laughing, he bent his finger and tapped it lightly on its head, and reprimanded, "You guy, hurry up and gather your breath." Otherwise, our prey will be scared away by you from afar!"
