Chapter 7 The Tongue Is Closed (Part 1)
At the beginning of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the "Available Qi" swept the world.
This not only led to the increasing situation of martial arts in the prosperous Tang Dynasty for 30 years and the increasing martial arts style, but also allowed ordinary people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be qualified to achieve success and achieve success.
If you want to talk about the leading figures, it is the current Marshal Yuan Yue of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Based on the basis of a scholar who only practiced the method of absorbing qi, he had three years of civil war among all the sects of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He became the top scholar in the prosperous Tang Dynasty ten years ago, and became the inland marshal after ten years of ups and downs in the officialdom.
Such a legend is naturally easy to spread all over the world and is talked about.
In fact, this kind of people are only a few after all, and the whole nation is the situation that the founding emperor Tang Yueding really wants to see.
After the "Available Qi" was popularized in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the people in the areas near the twelve borders praised it as a Bible. Then, governments in various places opened the door to the prosperous Tang Dynasty and absorbed local masters in the form of militia.
Whether it is the Great Wilderness or the Western Regions, it is completely obvious that it is not courage to invade the borders of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It is courage to enter the hinterland of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but it is also a behavior of seeking death, because they will encounter a fierce counterattack from the whole nation.
Seeing this situation clearly, the Western Regions and the Great Wilderness had to admire King Yue Ding, and this move also allowed the founding of the prosperous Tang Dynasty to maintain peace and ease for 30 years. Now, the Great Wilderness and the Western Regions no longer have the courage to peek at the fertile soil of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Lingyin County is one of the border towns, located in the far north of Yizhou. Yizhou has six dangerous passes of the twelve passes outside the Great Tang Dynasty. It has been convenient for the people since ancient times and the people are brave.
After the establishment of the militia in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Lingyin County gradually became a famous "ice and snow hunting town" because almost all the best hunters in northern Yizhou live here.
But the Lingyin County militia is a bit unreasonable.
Once upon a time, the prosperous Tang Dynasty organized a friendly competition between militias in the region.
The militia in Lingyin County was pulled out to face the Thousand People's Group of Shangnian County. Not only did they beat the enemy up and look for them, but they asked them to sit in Lingyin County and said that it was a fight and you had to come here to learn.
This also confirms the reputation of Lingyin County. Four years ago, the old county magistrate of Lingyin County was promoted to the post with the help of the militia. Later, three new county magistrates came one after another. The militia people disliked them and forced the three county magistrates to leave.
The court had no choice but to send a famous and practical official rookie to take up the position of county magistrate. He had heard of Lingyin County's strong people for a long time and the new county magistrate Zhou Zhongxi was trembling, but he did not expect that after he took office, he found that the people here were very cute. Little did he know that he brought ten jars of good wine in Zhongzhou.
As the longer the militia in the border area is established, the richer the militia culture here is, and the training of the militia is naturally one of the indispensable links.
The group training is held every two months. The government has bonuses and honors as the first prize. Those who participate are just to compete with the martial artists in the county. This is a beautiful thing! It is also a microcosm of the martial arts of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
However, the nature of this group training in Lingyin County is a bit special. The year is approaching. In the surrounding three gates of Yizhou and the six cities of Yizhou, everyone who wants to eat wild game will come here to purchase it.
Therefore, this group training means unity and being united to the outside world more than usual.
Zhang Xiaodao got up early that morning, and Wang Luohan still prepared everything for him as a virtuous wife and mother. After breakfast, he set out with great confidence, but unexpectedly, this group training resulted in some unexpected surprises.
…………
…………
The martial arts field in Lingyin County is surrounded by a thousand feet, and there is a circle of racecourse outside. A ring is built inside by wooden stakes. Below the ring is next to the ring is a row of solid wooden piers. In addition to the ground with weeds mixed with ice chips, this martial arts field is considered a high-level configuration in the militia.
At this time, the martial arts stadium was already in full swing, and all the 300 people from the militia arrived, and the relatives of the various families on the racecourse were ready.
With the arrival of the county magistrate Zhou Zhongxi, the gong was beaten hard, and a row of ten people walked to the red fuel-drawn line to stand on the line.
I heard the sound of "swish swish swish swish!" breaking through the air and the martial arts field was heard. Ten arrowheads were inserted into the target of the solid wooden pier, but they were crooked and straight.
A cheer on the sidelines kicked off the group training.
Wang Luohan stood in front of Zhang Xiaodao and gently raised his eyebrows. Zhang Xiaodao smiled and said, "You think everyone is a sharpshooter. Didn't you compete with me for a job?"
In Wang Luohan's opinion, even if he doesn't use a wooden bow, he can hit the bull's eye by throwing it within a hundred steps. When he heard Xiaodao's words, he couldn't help but smile and said, "That's right, that's right, I have to look at my sword."
This flattery made him feel comfortable, but Wang Daniu poured a pot of cold water and said, "Sun's arrow is on."
Zhang Xiaodao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the middle-aged man who made the second round.
The man looked ordinary but his eyes were extremely firm. After he stepped until the thread was painted, his whole body shone with a strange brilliance.
His movement of drawing arrows with a bow was extremely smooth, and his thick hand suddenly loosened. The cluster of arrows in the bow suddenly attacked, which was more than twice as fast as the cluster of arrows shot by the nine people around him.
After a heavy "bang!", nine clusters of arrows followed one after another and took a long time to hit the target.
I saw that the other heavy solid wood targets hanging in the air did not shake at all. Only the clusters of arrows shot by Sun Arrow made the target shake violently. It was obvious that his power to shoot arrows was much stronger than others.
The powerful and heavy archery technique won cheers.
Sun Jian didn't laugh and still looked at Zhang Xiaodao not far away, with a stinky face. The provocation was obvious.
Zhang Xiaodao smiled bitterly. Sun Jian was no match for the accuracy of 300 feet, but it was obvious that Sun Jian was better than him in terms of strength.
"This Mu Atsuko arch target is made by my family. It has iron embedded inside, and it is at least 400 kilograms to go up. The power of this Sun arrow is really much greater." Wang Daniu said stunningly.
Liu Yichen looked at Dong Yao who had just passed the wedding, and said, "Xiaodao, I heard that since he defeated you three hundred feet away last time, Sun Jian's madness has been sharpening his arrow skills. It is said that now he can accurately hit the red heart with five hundred feet away."
Zhang Xiaodao looked at Liu Yichen and didn't say anything.
Before Zhang Xiaodao practiced arrows, Sun Jian was always a sharpshooter in Lingyin County. He had been firmly in this position for nearly ten years. A few years ago, he was defeated by Zhang Xiaodao with accuracy, so he naturally felt unbalanced.
But it was just a competition in archery skills. The relationship between the two families has always been good. But when it was time for group training, who still cared about private relationships? Sun Jian has been making a ruthless move in recent years and vowed to pull Zhang Xiaodao off the horse.
A total of five hundred-step arrows reached the last round in Zhang Xiaodao's thoughts.
Zhang Xiaodao finally appeared and received thunderous cheers.
Zhang Xiaodao naturally understood that there were also reasons for his good popularity. He first smiled at Wang Luohan. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Wang Luohan remind him: "You should use your strength gently."
Zhang Xiaodao nodded. "Wuwang Practice" has made progress recently. He knew that his arm strength has increased a lot, but he was too lazy to move his bow and arrow during this period.
Ten people stood still from time to time, Zhang Xiaodao pulled the bow and led the arrow, with only the bull's eye in his eyes.
After a shout of "release", Zhang Xiaodao hesitated for a moment. The original full moon bow was half loose, and the arrow clusters were still shot out suddenly, piercing straight into the bull's eye.
Zhang Xiaodao was a little surprised and looked at the bullseye blankly.
This force was an arrow shot after he released 50% of his force, but it had already pierced into the bull's eye. If it were usually his limit.
Everyone cheered, and Sun Jian seemed to notice Zhang Xiaodao's small movements and browed, but he was full of confidence in himself and just took a deep breath.
Wang Luohan asked Zhang Xiaodao's strength and whispered: "Fifty percent."
The big bull standing next to her turned around and said, "What?"
Wang Luohan smiled without saying a word.
The first round of archery also ended with Zhang Xiaodao's hit, with more than ten people hitting the bull's-eye and competing two hundred steps away.
In the second round, five people were still able to hit the bullseye, but after the third round, only Zhang Xiaodao and Sun Jian were left.
This result is not unexpected. The people of Lingyin County, cheering and excited, were very much looking forward to the two of them having a great time in archery.
The two have just entered the venue.
The young county magistrate Zhou Zhongxi, sitting on the high platform, asked the strong man beside him with a smile: "I guess Xiaodao can win."
The strong man is the head of the Lingyin County Fellowship Group, named Zhao Lie. His cultivation has reached the Qi Realm. As for what level he is, no one knows. He whispered: "I don't think so. A few days ago, my son and Sun Jian were learning archery skills. I heard from my son that Sun Jian is now 500 feet away from the outside arrow and is hitting the bull's eye!"
Zhou Zhongxi, who looks gentle, said: "Sun Jian has not participated in the archery competition in the group practice for a year. It seems that he is keeping his strength and keeping a low profile."
"Well, this is interesting."
Zhang An, who was sitting beside the two of them, said disdainfully: "Look at it, it depends on talent when practicing arrows." He was obviously supporting Xiaodao.
Zhou Zhongxi and Zhao Lie looked at each other and smiled, sitting in the mountains to watch the tiger fight.
Wang Daniu and his men watched Sun Jian walk five hundred feet away nervously, but Wang Luohan said at this moment: "What if all of them hit the bull's eye?"
Zhang Xiaodao smiled and said, "The first is more accurate, the second is more powerful."
"Oh, then you can just wait and be more vigorous." Wang Luohan said with a smile.
When Dong Yao heard Wang Luohan's relaxed tone, she couldn't help but say kindly: "It's not that powerful force can be powerful. Increased strength will affect the feeling of archery practice in daily life, so it may not be accurate."
Liu Yichen nodded deeply in agreement, and Wang Luohan just smiled.
Sun Jian mentioned the hardwood craftsman who had followed him for nearly twenty years. Ten bulls' eyes appeared in his eyes. He used extremely slow movements to take a cluster of arrows behind him and suddenly accelerated the movement.
With a "swoosh!", the arrow cluster pierced hard on the bull's eye of the first target, and the target shaking continuously.
The audience held their breath and saw that Sun Jian's speed was getting faster and faster, one arrow was heavier and stronger than the other.
The sound of "bang bang bang!" was endless, and ten targets swayed violently. After seeing the position of the arrow cluster, the whole audience was boiling.
"I didn't expect him to have really mastered it in "The Arrows"." Zhao Lie, who was sitting on the high platform, shook his head incredibly.
This shocking arrow made the audience silent, but the more shocking scene had just begun.
Zhang Xiaodao's second arrow was even more powerful and the wooden target of the pier was shattered again, piercing deep into the arrow feathers embedded in the iron plate, and flew directly outside the field.
The third arrow, the fourth arrow, the fifth arrow... all maintained such increasing strength. There was a storm outside the field, and the militia masters stopped all their iron plates.
When the tenth arrow was reached, the arrow cluster pierced through the three-inch thick iron plate and flew straight to the seat table.
Zhao Lie shot him down with one punch and said strikingly: "What a great power."
The ten arrows were finished and the whole audience fell into silence. Wang Daniu stared at Zhang Xiaodao who was as calm as ever, but found that Zhang Xiaodao's hand had been made for three months and divided into two.
Liu Yichen and Dong Yao's growing mouths fell into a dullness.
Sun Jian, who was standing not far from Zhang Xiaodao, had empty eyes and obviously could not accept the reality in front of him.
