Evolution of the heavens

Chapter 231
This country is called Zhao Guo.

In Xiangwen County of Zhao State, there is a man named Ji Feixiong, who has a surly personality since childhood, loves archery, and aspires to become the best marksman in the world.

He also does have the talent in this area. When he was ten years old, he could draw the big bow with precision. At the age of 15, he could accurately hit the bull's-eye.

Now that Ji Feixiong is 20 years old, he deeply feels that if he wants to improve his archery skills, it is useless to rely on his own talent alone.

Because there have been too many talented people since ancient times, but no one can succeed in becoming famous just by talent.

He needs a qualified and experienced archer to teach him to live up to his talent.

The so-called Maxima needs Bole to dig.

He thinks that he needs such a Bole master to inspire his true potential and become the best archer in the world.

After thinking about it, after many inquiries.

Ji Feixiong finally found a candidate who is good enough to be his master, that is Lu Ya, Zhao Guo's world-famous number one archer.

It is said that he recruited many disciples in Yandang Mountain.

So Ji Feixiong came to Lu Ya's mansion with a long journey, and shouted outside the door, "Boy Ji Feixiong, please worship Mr. Lu as your teacher."

After a while, the door opened and Lu Ya came out.

When Ji Feixiong saw the handsome-looking middle-aged man in black robe walking out, he couldn't help being startled, stunned, and couldn't speak for a long time.

All the speeches he had prepared were forgotten in the back of his mind.

"You want to worship me as a teacher?" Lu Ya asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Only then did Ji Feixiong regain his senses, and said: "I don't know why, seeing your face, I feel very kind, but I don't know where I saw it before, I just feel very kind."

Lu Ya said: "It's very easy to accept me as a teacher. I have taken in many apprentices."

Ji Feixiong was overjoyed and kowtowed.

After getting started, he didn't expect that the teacher didn't let him stay in the house at all, but just told him:

"If you want to learn the best archery technique in the world, you need to pass the first level. This first level is called 'Bushen', because archery requires the highest vision. The so-called 'Bushun' means not blinking. Eye."

"Zuo Zhuan" has it: Mount Tai collapses in the front, but the color does not change, and the elk rises in the left, but the eyes do not blink.

"When you can achieve 'no blinking', that is, don't blink at all, come to me again, and I will teach you the next step."

Ji Feixiong remembers his teacher's orders.

He didn't doubt the training that Lu Ya arranged for him at all, because he himself is a good archer and understands the importance of not blinking his eyes.

So I traveled thousands of miles and returned home.

Start thinking about how to train yourself not to blink.

A few days later, he got a clue and saw his wife weaving on the loom in the house, and the pedals under his feet moved regularly along with the loom.

He turned over and got into the textile machine under his wife's legs, lying on his back, looking at the pedals.

The wife looked at her husband lying at her feet, looking up at herself, her eyes widened.Feeling extremely shy, he said angrily, "What are you doing, get up quickly."

Ji Feixiong shouted: "Leave me alone, I am practicing, you continue to weave, don't stop."

Although the wife was very reluctant and felt that the husband's request and angle were very awkward, she dared not refuse because of her husband's majesty.

In this way, Ji Feixiong began to practice the skill of "not blinking" in this ridiculous way.

It took five years to lie under the loom. After five years, he had practiced to the point where the scraper of the loom ran across his eyelashes without blinking.

At this time, he finally crawled out from under the loom.

Then he began to test, let the sharp awl be fixed on the wall, prick his eyelid, puncture the eyelid, and the eye did not blink.

After the test, he found that standing by the stove, he would not blink when sparks flew towards his eyes.

He even felt that he had forgotten how to control the opening and closing of his eyelids.

As a result, when he slept, his eyes were wide open, and he fell into a deep sleep with his eyes open. Later, when he woke up one morning, he found that a thin layer of web had been woven by spiders on his eyelids. , I didn't even move my eyelids and blinked.

At this time, he was finally sure that he had completely cultivated into the "Instant Skill".

Then he excitedly went to Yandang Mountain to find his teacher Lu Ya:

"Teacher, I have practiced not even an instant."

Lu Ya came to him and said with a smile: "Congratulations, but not blinking is just the first step. The eyes of a marksman not only need not blinking, but also the best vision. Every marksman must use his vision , You have completed the second step when you have cultivated to the point of 'seeing small things', that is, when you are able to see small things into big things, and then you will come to me again."

Ji Feixiong nodded deeply, he has completely convinced Lu Ya's teaching method.

After he returned home again, he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets at home, removed the mattress to find clothes, and then found a louse, tied the louse with his own hair, and hung it by the window.

Then he did nothing every day, just staring at the louse every day.

In the first few days, the louse was always a louse, and after a month, he was still a louse, but after half a year, he didn't know if it was a psychological effect or his own hallucination, he felt that the louse It seems to have grown a little bit.

Another year passed, and the louse grew a little bigger, as big as a silkworm baby.

Time flies, he has replaced dozens of lice.

And the lice became bigger and bigger in his eyes. At the same time, he felt that other things in his sight had also changed. The sun in spring was as big as summer, and the feathers of the wild geese flying from the sky were also clear. visible.

Another five years later.

Under the constant change of time, Ji Feixiong realized that the lice hanging on his hair was as big as an elephant.

Every texture and joint on his body is so huge.

"My way is done!"

Ji Feixiong was overjoyed, he walked outside the door, and found that under his full attention.

The horse in the family is as strong as a mountain, the pig is as big as a hill, and the chicken is like a tower, which is extremely majestic.

He stood a hundred steps away, with his bow and arrows outstretched.

An arrow pierced through the louse's heart, but the hair didn't break at all!
Excitedly, he went to Yandang Mountain again and found Lu Ya.

Lu Ya nodded and smiled: "Fang has started."

So he began to teach Ji Feixiong some archery skills. Because of ten years of hard work, Ji Feixiong learned all the archery skills in one day.

He plucked and shot the arrow at will, and he was able to hit the willow leaves fluttering in the wind with a hundred shots.

When firing a hundred arrows in a row, each arrow must hit the tail of the previous arrow. "The arrows belong to each other, and the arrows match each other." Since the arrows behind must hit the buttocks of the arrows in front, no arrows will fall. On the ground, after the hundred arrows were shot, all the arrows were connected like a straight rope, stretching all the way to Ji Feixiong.

Lu Ya praised him.

He went home excitedly and told his wife about it.

However, his wife complained that he hadn't been home for so long, and quarreled with him. The couple started to quarrel. Ji Feixiong impatiently shot an arrow, and when the arrow hit the string, he realized how he could kill his wife. So the arrow went out, but it shot off three eyelashes on his wife's eyelids.

But his wife still didn't know it, and continued to make noise, not knowing that she had lost three eyelashes, and she never showed her husband's bow and arrow at all.

This shows that Ji Feixiong's bow and arrow skills have reached an incomparably miraculous and superb state.

He was full of confidence, so he started hunting the world.

Shoot the ox, shoot the rhino, shoot the tiger, shoot the nine-headed bird...

In less than a year, Ji Feixiong's fame has spread throughout the ancient Zhao country, and everyone calls him the world's best archer, surpassing Lu Ya.

Hearing the title of the best archer in the world, Ji Feixiong knew it well.

Everything about myself is taught by the teacher.

Whether he has surpassed the teacher is still unknown.

then.

He wanted to compare with his teacher to see if he had already surpassed Teacher Lu Ya.

Ji Feixiong came to Yandang Mountain again.

It is time to compete with Lu Ya.

Lu Ya smiled and sighed: "You haven't fully learned my skills, even if you compete with me, how can you win me?"

Ji Feixiong asked: "Is there anything else the teacher hasn't taught me?"

Lu Ya said: "That's my real thing. Compared with it, what you have learned is an entry-level skill, which is a child's play skill."

Ji Feixiong was shocked.

I have been sharpening myself for ten years, enduring what ordinary people can't, and I have achieved the current situation. It is still just a child's play skill.

He didn't believe in evil, so he wanted to compete with Lu Ya.

"Okay, then you come with me."

After Lu Ya finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards Yandang Mountain, after reaching the mountain.

Ji Feixiong couldn't wait to say: "Teacher, please compare with me."

Lu Ya took a look, smiled slightly and said, "Then you stand here and shoot a wild goose over your head."

As he said that, he kicked a stone under his feet to the edge of the cliff, letting it hang half in the air and half rest on the cliff, just in time to stabilize his body and not fall.

But it is wobbly, and a gust of wind will make the stone wobble.

Ji Feixiong looked at this stone that was about to fall off the cliff at any time, swallowed his saliva, and said: "It's so dangerous, how can it be done."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Ya standing on the rock.

Steady as Mount Tai.

"of course can."

After saying that, he retreated.

Ji Feixiong summoned up his courage and stood up.

But he just stood up.

It feels like the rock is shaking.

The body is unstable.

Looking down, there is a cliff below.

Then the strong wind from the top of the mountain blew towards him in all directions, and his back was wet with sweat all at once, his scalp was numb, and he was in a state of confusion.

"Let's shoot arrows!"

He heard Lu Ya's voice.

But at this time, Ji Feixiong was in a state of confusion, accompanied by the shaking of the stone, he was so flustered that he couldn't raise his bow and arrow.

After standing up for only one breath, he felt that the stone was unstable, and he jumped down quickly, but his heartbeat had not slowed down, and he was beating wildly.

"It seems that you have no way to compare with me."

Lu Ya said:

"Then let's take a look at my archery skills."

Ji Feixiong listened, and quickly handed over the bow and arrow in his hand.

Lu Ya waved his hand.

"unnecessary."

Ji Feixiong was taken aback: "You don't need a bow and arrow, how do you shoot?"

"This is what you haven't learned yet. What you have mastered is "shooting by shooting", that is, you still need to use a bow and arrow. True shooting is shooting without shooting. That is, without bows and arrows, You can also shoot!" Lu Ya said with a smile.

Ji Feixiong didn't quite understand: "There is no bow and arrow, what does it mean to shoot without shooting? I want to see it."

Just at this time, there was an eagle flying above the heads of the two of them. It was circling leisurely and leisurely at a height of thousands of feet, as small as a sesame seed.

Lu Ya looked up at him.

Bow and arrow.

But he didn't have a bow in his hand, and he didn't have an arrow in his hand.

In other words.

He just made an action of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, as if there was an invisible arrow resting on an invisible bow.

collapse!
But Ji Feixiong heard the sound of breaking through the air.

Look again!

The eagle hovering high in the sky, straight like a stone, fell from the sky.

Ji Feixiong was completely petrified.

He finally saw what real archery is!

"I beg the teacher to teach me!!"

He knelt in front of Lu Ya and kept kowtowing: "How can I do the same as you, shoot if you don't shoot!"

"If you don't do anything, if you don't say anything, if you don't shoot, if you forget your way." Lu Ya looked at him and said, "You need to forget all the skills you have learned to reach a new level."

Ji Feixiong asked: "But if you need to forget everything, why did you teach me these things?"

Lu Ya said: "This is the triple realm of enlightenment. Seeing a mountain is a mountain, seeing a mountain is not a mountain, seeing a mountain is still a mountain. If you have never picked it up, how can you put it down? If you haven't remembered it, how can you forget it? Only when you rise up can you let go, and only when you have experienced seeing that a mountain is not a mountain can you understand that a mountain is still a mountain.

"You have the best chance to become immortal with me in this life."

Ji Feixiong said: "I understand."

Lu Ya said: "Practice again, when the time comes, you will know me."

Just like that, Ji Feixiong returned home from Lu Ya's residence.

He memorized the sixteen-character mantra of "to do nothing, to say nothing, to shoot but not to shoot, to forget the way". After returning home, he stayed at home every day.

This stay is nine years.

Nine years later, when someone saw Ji Feixiong again, he had completely lost the attitude of a marksman and turned into a farmer.

When people saw his temperament, they all felt a kind of back to basics.

Praise that he is now undoubtedly the number one master in the world.

Invite him to show his talents.

But it turns out that Ji Feixiong doesn't even have a bow on his body.

Ji Feixiong smiled and did not answer, saying: "If you don't shoot, you are not allowed to work hard."

Someone suddenly realized and asked him: "You have reached the highest level now, right?"

Ji Feixiong shook his head and said, "No."

He has indeed reached the realm of shooting without shooting, but because of this, he discovered the greater place of the sixteen-character mantra, which is to do nothing, to speak without speaking, to shoot without shooting, and to forget the way.

"Dao, I haven't entered the Tao yet!"

He, the memory is not clean enough.
