Chapter 569 Ji Chang Xue Jian(1/2)
"good……"
"The divine arrow..."
As soon as Xia Pingan opened his eyes, he saw that he was watching the excitement among the surging crowd, while everyone around him was clapping excitedly. There was a tall tower not far away, and there were two Handan people at the door of the tower.
Zi, this is an open space outside Handan City. There are many vendors doing small business around it. There are a lot of people coming and going at the city gate. Everyone gathers here, and I am also wearing coarse clothes and carrying a bag on my back.
A package that looks dusty.
The person being watched by everyone was a tall man with a beard on his face. The man was shooting a bow and arrow.
The man's target was a big poplar tree outside the city. The big tree was more than a hundred meters away from the man. Xia Pingan looked towards the big tree and saw an arrow nailed to it.
But the people around him cheered loudly.
Xia Pingan was still confused, was it just a shot at a big tree? What was there to be happy about?
As soon as this question arose in his mind, Xia Pingan saw the man shoot another arrow.
Xia Pingan saw this arrow clearly. The arrow shot from behind hit the end of the arrow shaft in front. The sharp arrow directly hit the shaft and feathers of the arrow shot in front of the big tree.
The feathers spread out and flew like catkins blown by the wind, causing the people around to cheer.
Xia Ping'an was also shocked. This difficult skill is no longer as simple as shooting the tenth ring. The standard for shooting a blade or a fly from a hundred meters away is that the arrow at the back must break the end of the arrow shaft in front.
How many arrows are there? On the big tree in front, there is only the shaft of the last arrow left.
The man shot another arrow and shot the arrow shaft in front of him again. The scattered arrow shafts fell under the tree, and the people around him cheered again.
"Excuse me, uncle, who is this archer and how can he have such a high skill?" To be on the safe side, Xia Pingan also asked the uncle next to him.
"This is Fei Wei, our best marksman in the Zhao Kingdom..." The big tree next to him said proudly, and then clapped his hands again.
It is indeed Fei Wei!
Xia Ping'an was watching from the side, waiting for Fei Wei to finish shooting the arrows, and the crowd of spectators dispersed. Fei Wei came to the target poplar tree alone, and was using a knife to prepare the arrow clusters in the trunk.
After they were dug out, Xia Ping'an came to the side and didn't say anything. They just helped Fei Wei dig out the arrow clusters from the tree.
The arrow clusters of this era were not cheap when made of copper. If the arrow clusters were dug out, new arrowheads could be forged.
Fei Wei glanced at Xia Ping'an, who came over to help in a muffled voice, and said nothing. He only waited for the arrow clusters to be dug out before he spoke, "Young man, I see you are so tired, have you just come to Handan?"
"To be honest, I came to Handan because I heard that Fei Wei is the best archer in our Zhao country. I wanted to learn archery from you. I didn't expect to see you today. You are indeed worthy of your reputation. Can you teach me your archery skills?"
"Oh, you want to learn archery from me?" Fei Wei glanced at Xia Ping'an and nodded slightly, "I see that your body is not weak. You must have practiced it before, right?"
"Well, I have been practicing for a while, and I also like hunting. I can barely shoot a bow!"
"What's your name and where are you from?" Fei Wei continued to ask.
If you ask this question to other people who have integrated the world pearl, it will definitely make people confused, but who is Xia Ping'an? The answer is natural, "My name is Ji Chang, I come from Ningjin, Xingdi!"
Fei Wei laughed, put away his bow, and suddenly took out an arrow cluster with one hand, piercing Xia Pingan's eyes. He moved fast and fast, and the sharp arrow cluster almost touched Xia Pingan's eyelashes. Fei Wei
He just stopped and saw something sharp coming towards him. Although Xia Pingan didn't shy away from it, his eyes naturally blinked twice.
"Yes, you are brave enough and don't need to hide. For the sake of you being from Zhao, I will tell you that if you want to learn archery from me, you must first learn not to blink. When will you learn not to blink?
, Even if you are stabbed by a sharp blade or shot by a sharp arrow, you can keep your eyes on the target without blinking, and then come to me again!" Fei Wei said, put the arrow clusters back into the deerskin bag, turned around and left.
Xia Pingan did not chase after him, but bowed deeply to Fei Wei's back. Then he did not enter Handan City again, but turned around and left.
Ji Chang's hometown is Jichangzhuang, Ningjin County, Hebei Province. Of course, there was no Jichangzhuang at this time. Jichangzhuang was later renamed in memory of Ji Chang. The distance between Xingdi and Handan is not too far, but three days later, Xia Ping'an has already
Returned to Ningjin County.
Xia Pingan originally wanted to ask someone and find a way to return to his home first, but as soon as he returned to Ningjin, he was recognized by an old man driving an ox cart on the road.
The old man was sitting on the bullock cart. When passing Xia Pingan, he tilted his head to look at Xia Pingan and laughed, "Isn't this Ji Chang? Why, I heard that you are going to Handan to learn archery from a sharpshooter.
Did you learn it back so quickly?"
Xia Ping'an secretly sweated in his heart. People at this time were simple. Ningjin was not a big place, and there probably wasn't much news and gossip. A Ningjin person went out to learn from a sharpshooter, and almost everyone in the county knew about it.
Well, this Ji Chang seems to be somewhat famous in Ningjin, and he can still be recognized by others.
"I met the sharpshooter. The sharpshooter said that I am not good enough. I need to go home and practice again..." Xia Pingan could only reply like this.
"Okay, I just have to go collect the leather and pass by your house. Get in the car and drop by..."
Xia Pingan breathed a sigh of relief and got on the bullock cart directly.
After a few insinuations on the bullock cart, Xia Ping'an found out what was going on in Ji Chang's family.
Ji Chang's family conditions are actually very good. Several generations of the family have accumulated business. In Ji Chang's generation, the family has left more than 300 acres of fertile land, and can usually collect a little rent. Because the family conditions are favorable, Ji Chang has been fond of archery since he was a child.
He often goes hunting with hunters and can catch prey for sale. He is considered a well-known archer and a son of a wealthy family in Ningjin, and many people know about him.
The old man who drove the carriage was named Feng. He was a small fur trader in Ningjin County, and he knew Ji Chang well.
The oxcart drove slowly on the road. Two hours later, the oxcart arrived at a village with hundreds of households. It stopped outside a courtyard with several courtyards, several large tile-roofed houses, and a jujube tree in front of the door.
, "Okay, Ji Chang, you're home. I'll come and collect the prey when I reach it again. I heard that there were big insects in Dongshan. A few days ago, there were wealthy merchants who wanted to collect the skins of the big insects. Do you want them to have arrow holes?"
…”
Xia Pingan got out of the car, came to the door, and patted the door. After a while, the door opened, revealing the face of a fifteen or sixteen year old girl. When the girl saw Xia Pingan, she became happy and turned towards
He shouted in the room, "Madam... madam... the master is back!"
Sure enough, it’s here!
Xia Pingan breathed a sigh of relief and walked directly in. Then he saw a pretty woman with a skirt and hairpin walking out quickly. When she saw Xia Pingan, the woman seemed to relax.
He said with a smile on his face, "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back, Xiaohuan, go to the kitchen and tell grandma to cook two more dishes tonight!"
"OK!"
Ji Chang's family has a virtuous wife, a maid, and a helper. Ji Chang is the head of the family. The main income of the family is the rent from the family. Because Ji Chang is powerful, he is in Zhuangzi.
There are also a group of friends in Lihe County, and none of the tenants under him dare not pay the rent, so the life of this family is pretty good. At least they don't have to run around for a living. Ji Chang can concentrate on archery and martial arts.
When it came time to collect the tenant rent, Ji Chang's wife took care of all the family affairs, and the family lived in harmony and beauty.
Xia Pingan came back this time just to practice his eyesight.
Usually, Xia Pingan watches the clouds rise and fall, the sun rises and the moon sets, the hawks, the rabbits, the dogs in the village, and the ants on the ground. He tries his best to keep his eyes open without blinking, even if his eyes are red and full of tears.
Without blinking.
Ji Chang's wife usually weaves at home, and Xia Pingan lies directly under the loom, staring at the tension on the loom without blinking.
This kind of training is extremely boring. If you don't have confidence and perseverance, you will give up halfway.
In this way, after two years of staring, Xia Pingan trained Ji Chang's eyes to be so bright that they would no longer blink passively due to conditioned reflexes and fatigue. Xia Pingan went to Handan again and met Fei Wei again.
Fei Wei still remembered Xia Pingan. After testing Xia Pingan's non-blinking skills, Fei Wei knew that Xia Pingan really wanted to learn, so he said to Xia Pingan, "You just can't blink now, but it's not enough."
, If you want to become a marksman, your eyes still don’t know how to see. You have to train your eyes to see small things as big, small things as small, and see an ant as big as a sieve. Then come to me..."
If most people heard Fei Wei say this, they would definitely think that Fei Wei was making things difficult and did not want to teach him, but Xia Pingan knew that Fei Wei was not making things difficult.
This process of eye training is actually the same as the process when Liezi learned to fly with the wind. Both are beyond common sense, but they both develop the potential of the human body. The process of eye training is to increase the energy consciousness in the human body for a long time.
The intensity is concentrated on this process of the eyes, and this process may develop the potential of the human eye.
Returning home again, Xia Pingan found the hair from the yak's tail, and then found a louse. He tied the louse with ox tail hairs and hung it under a window at home. Every day, he concentrated on staring at the louse.
Just ten days later, the louse that was originally as small as a sesame suddenly grew larger in Xia Pingan's eyes. It looked almost the size of a broad bean. This made Xia Pingan feel refreshed and knew that his visual ability had been developed a little bit.
, but he still persists.
There are a lot of lice in the countryside. If the louse dies, just replace it with a new one.
If there were no lice, then flies, mosquitoes, sesame seeds, and mung beans would all do. Anyway, as long as they were small things, Xia Pingan would tie them up with cow hairs and hang them under the window and stare at them every day.
After looking at it for three years, the louse hanging under the window was almost as big as a wheel in Xia Pingan's eyes. Xia Pingan was ten meters away, and even the tiny vellus tentacles on the louse could be clearly seen.
Chu.
Xia Pingan arrived in Handan again and found Fei Wei.
After Fei Wei passed the test, he was moved by Xia Pingan's spirit and found that Xia Pingan was really determined to learn archery, so he spent all his money to teach Xia Pingan and spent one year passing on his archery skills to Xia Pingan.
It wasn't until the night when Xia Pingan could start training that Fei Wei and Xia Pingan were drinking. Fei Wei drank a little too much, and then he said to Xia Pingan, "My archery skills are actually nothing. There are actually archery skills in this world."
Someone more powerful than me..."
"Oh, who is that?"
"That's my master and your master Gan Ying. What I taught you is to shoot only when you have the ability to shoot. Only when you have a bow can you shoot. And my master Gan Ying is the best archer in the world. He has reached the point where he can't shoot without shooting."
The realm of..."
Xia Pingan's heart skipped a beat, knowing that a hidden mission was coming, "Ah, where can I find the master?"
"The last time I saw your master was more than twenty years ago. He said that he had found a place to live in seclusion in Shu. The scenery there was beautiful and the sun was shining brightly. Your master no longer wanted to be born. In these years, I have not seen him again.
Saw him!"
Xia Ping'an said goodbye to Fei Wei, returned home, made some preparations, and then went directly to Shu to look for Gan Ying.
Xia Ping'an searched for him in Sichuan for a year, but it didn't matter. No one in Shu had heard of Gan Ying's name, but he still didn't give up.
