Chapter 120 Meeting with the Arrow God in the Central Plains
"What's so strange?"
Blacksmith Liu Dao said, "This kind of arrow is difficult to make. I asked him at that time, such a heavy arrow requires a bow of several hundred stones. Can you pull it?" He took out an archer the size of two fists, which looked very heavy.
It is so exquisite that when you press the machine spring, it pops out to both sides and becomes a bow and arrow that is as tall as half a man. I have been a blacksmith all my life and have never seen such a delicate bow and arrow, so I paid special attention to it."
Fan and Zhao looked at each other. If what blacksmith Liu said was true, then the other person must be the successor of Iron Arrow. So they asked, "Do you know where that person lives?"
Blacksmith Liu shook his head, "He came to make arrows three days ago and stayed in the shop all night. After finishing, he left. He once told me to keep it secret, but you two are the detectives. I have told you everything I know.
."
From Blacksmith Liu and some other information, it can be inferred that the successor of Iron Arrow should be a middle-aged man. He uses a deformed bow that is not large but has extremely strong pulling power. As a result, security work will become more difficult.
, but with this information, it will be more helpful for them to take precautions.
Blacksmith Liu said: "If you want what you want quickly, it can be completed tomorrow. I have to go there two days in advance to install the things."
…
On the tenth day of October, the weather was beautiful.
Dingguo Temple.
This temple is said to have been built when Emperor Lizong was in power. It was built to commemorate Princess Yinyang who helped him conquer the world. Emperor Lizong would come here to pay homage every spring when the flowers bloomed. It was once a royal temple.
.Nowadays, His Majesty attaches great importance to Taoism and restrains Buddhism. Dingguo Temple has lost its former prosperity and can only be maintained by funding from the imperial court.
The canonization ceremony of "The Best Arrow in the World" will be held here today.
At the six gates, the Forbidden Army has already heavily fortified this place, especially the Princess Tower, which is seven stories high. There are almost one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. They have sent people with good eyesight to watch every move in the temple.
One move.
All those who enter to watch the ceremony will undergo a strict body search. There will also be some plainclothes people mixed in with the crowd. These people include common people with good things and people from the world who come here because of their reputation. Most of them come to watch the fun.
of.
After all, this is the first public canonization of the six doors this year, and the person who is canonized is the "famous" Central Plains Arrow God. Half a month ago, no one knew who the Central Plains Arrow God was, but it only took half a month
, this name has already become famous.
I only heard his name but never saw him.
Therefore, driven by curiosity, many idlers came to Dingguo Temple.
Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing arrived at the temple early, climbed to the top of the Princess Tower, and watched all suspicious people in the temple.
If an accident occurs to your opponent's lurking enemy, you can immediately warn them or even come to help.
They had also doubted whether the Iron Arrow successor would appear, but since they learned that he ordered Iron Arrow from blacksmith Liu, they had already predicted that the other party would definitely come. This was the best time to kill Zhu Yan.
Once you miss it, it's gone.
The more airtight it is, the more it will stimulate the other person.
A skilled assassin, a superb archer, what could be more exciting than shooting the target and escaping unscathed in full view of the public?
More and more people came to watch the ceremony, and the security inspection was carried out in an orderly manner. After knowing the special nature of the opponent's bow, the people at the six doors searched more carefully. Although it attracted some people's dissatisfaction, it seemed that they could still
After seeing the prince, everyone tolerated it.
Fan Xiaodao said: "If it were you, what would you do?" Zhao Xing looked at the crowd below and said: "There are our people everywhere, and their bows and arrows are so dazzling. If it were me, I would never do anything against them.
Bring it with you. Instead, he will come in in advance, find a place to hide the bow and arrow, and then take the opportunity to create chaos and look for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow."
"Commander Lin has considered this a long time ago. As soon as the location was announced, he sent troops to blockade the place. He searched the inside and outside of the temple several times a day. He had no chance at all. Our people are everywhere now, and they want to fish in troubled waters, right?
It's so simple, I'm thinking about whether I should leave a loophole for him and create an opportunity for him?"
Zhao Xing sneered and said: "The two of us standing on the top of the tower are dazzling living targets. If he gets really angry and shoots you and me, we will have to walk around in pain."
On the temporary site, a three-foot-wide banner was hung in the center: "The Best Archery Ceremony in the World and Meeting of Archery Friends." Eighteen colorful flags were placed on both sides, fluttering in the wind, and two more.
The drummer brings rhythm from time to time to liven up the scene.
Due to the recent publicity, the Central Plains Arrow God has many fans in the capital, and there are even many idiot fans. Without even seeing the Arrow God's face, they held banners and organized teams to support him.
A drum sounded.
A reporter from Xiaosheng Jianghu came to Taichung and said, "Welcome to the ceremony for the best arrow in the world. It is also a meeting for all the fans of the Arrow God. The Central Plains Arrow God has always been a legend and a myth, protecting
With the world at peace, the imperial court now encourages more people to come forward, learn the spirit of the Arrow God, and build a harmonious Ming Dynasty. Therefore, we are honored to invite the Central Plains Arrow God, who has always been low-key and mysterious, please!"
"Whoosh!"
The sound of footsteps started, and Niu Dafu dragged his bloated figure, wearing a shiny golden armor, a steel helmet, and a shiny long bow on his back, and slowly walked towards Taichung from the main gate. He walked very slowly, every few steps
, just stopped and took a big breath.
Everyone looked at him in astonishment, "This is the Archery God of the Central Plains. He turns out to be a fat man? With his weight, how can he win in a martial arts competition?"
"This is called a unique move that can be used all over the world. He is a long-range shooter, and there is no need for close combat. Even if you want to get close, he will kite you. Kite, you know what it means, top scraping master!"
The fans who came to support became fanatical, holding up signs with the words "Central Plains Arrow God" and waving flags and shouting.
"The Arrow God of the Central Plains, one shot enters the soul!"
"The Central Plains Arrow Immortal has boundless magic power!"
Niu Dafu gasped for air and cursed in his heart, damn Fan Xiaodao, let you get a helmet and give me more than 20 pounds. It makes me dizzy. Fortunately, I am more resourceful. Whenever I am tired,
, he stopped and pretended to wave to the fans, showing an approachable attitude.
It was only more than ten feet long, and Niu Dafu was sweating profusely as he walked.
This outfit weighs one hundred and eighty kilograms in total, which is tiring for even an ordinary person, let alone a fat man. He really didn't have the strength to take the last three steps, so he missed the step and flopped down on the step, using both hands and feet to climb up
.
Someone said: "This damn fat guy is so weak, how can he draw a magic bow?"
Someone else said: "As expected of the Archery God of the Central Plains, he fell down on purpose to make fun of the world."
Jianghu Caifeng said: "There is still some time before the ceremony starts, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's motorcade has not arrived yet. We can interview the Arrow God to satisfy everyone's curiosity about the Arrow God. After that, there will be a small interaction. May I ask the Arrow God
,Why do you appear wearing a mask?"
Niu Dafu said: "The skin is not important to me."
"So do you usually have many friends?"
Niu Dafu said: "All masters are lonely. I am a master and I am very lonely."
"I see, then where do you usually go when you are lonely?"
Niu Dafu said: "Baihua Tower."
Everyone in the audience became happy, "You are a person of the same mind and a person of the same temperament!"
Caifeng's face was full of embarrassment, "Besides Baihua Tower, do you have any other hobbies?"
Niu Dafu nodded, "Yes, Qun Fang Gathering, Heaven and Earth, No. 8 Mansion, Sisters' Foot Bath, Wenzhou Hair Washing Room, I am a good person, I am not picky about food."
He has been obese since he was a child. Although he is a rich second generation, he rarely expresses himself in front of the crowd. Today, when the elder girl got on the sedan chair, she was so excited that she forgot the words she had prepared and said she was bald.
Caifeng winked at him, and Niu Dafu then remembered that he had a manuscript. Lian took it out of his arms, took a look at it, and said, "I am a killer. I have no other hobbies except killing people."
Caifeng followed and said: "It is understandable that a national weapon like the God of Arrow rarely appears in public and is not good at talking. However, the ability of the God of Arrow is unquestionable. Next, let's have a small interaction.
Choose one lucky person among you to play games related to arrows."
At this time, a man in the crowd shouted loudly, "The Arrow God of the Central Plains, I want to challenge you!"
Everyone looked around, and a young man stood up and said: "I am a hunter from the Hengduan Mountains. My surname is Liu. I have made a living by archery since I was a child. I claim to be the second best in archery. No one in the world dares to claim the first place.
The ability to cross a poplar tree with a hundred steps is like a male mosquito flying past my eyes. I can castrate it with one arrow!"
After that, he came to a temporary martial arts arena, took out a bow, swish, swish, and shot three arrows in a row, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye.
"Aren't you the God of Archery? Come and compete? If you lose, give me the title of the best arrow in the world. Do you dare to challenge me?"
Niu Dafu remained motionless and said coldly: "My arrows are used to kill people, not to show off my skills. I killed people when I was five years old, traveled around the world when I was ten years old, and conquered the world when I was eighteen years old. You must bet your life on it."
, to change it to an illusory name?"
The Orion thought for a moment, shook his head, and stepped back.
Niu Dafu said in a hoarse voice and a very melancholy tone: "It is a good thing to be young and vigorous, but it is very painful to really kill people with arrows."
On the Princess Tower, Zhao Xing saw all this and couldn't help but be stunned by Niu Dafu's performance, "This kid got into the mood very quickly. He really regarded himself as the god of archery in the Central Plains. Well, he has the potential to be an actor."
Fan Xiaodao looked disdainful, "Just a few words, I memorized them in the yard most of the night last night."
"I do not know how?"
"You sleep like a dead pig, of course you don't know. Also, those supporters who support and the young people who challenge are all hired by him with money. Do you really think that the common people will come here when they have nothing to do?
Are you joining in the fun here?"
Zhao Xing was stunned, "How do you know?"
Fan Xiaodao said: "It cost a total of five taels and six coins to invite these people. He said he would do a complete show and ask me to sign and go to Mr. Yang for reimbursement."
Zhao Xing: "..."
At this time, a motorcade came slowly from a distance. Under the escort of dozens of imperial guards, three identical black carriages arrived outside Dingguo Temple.
Chapter completed!
