Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 19 Ask God
A sentence suddenly popped up in Liang Xiao's mind: Walk, sit and lie down, never leave your bow.

When he first heard Mr. Huan's words, Liang Xiao didn't feel too much. He just thought that Mr. Huan asked him to practice more diligently and not to slack off for a while.Only then did he truly understand the meaning of this sentence when he felt the faint but very real sense of strength in his body.

Liang Xiao was very excited, but he didn't indulge in the excitement.He knew that this was an opportunity, and knowing how to seize this opportunity was more useful than practicing in a hurry.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.Mastering learning methods is more important than acquiring specific knowledge.

Liang Xiao sat down, started from the beginning, and carefully figured out the process of his bow practice.

Huan Jun took his bow and asked him to practice bowing for a hundred days with bare hands.

Practice day after day, feel the subtle changes in every movement with your heart, and imitate Huan Jun's bow-opening movements as much as possible, until the movements are proficient and natural, flowing like clouds and flowing water.

Practicing in the dark, with no other distractions, devoted wholeheartedly until the waist is slightly hot and the strength is mastered.

But where is the target?Since it is archery, why did Mr. Huan never mention the target?He made him practice the motions of archery without making him aim at a target.

Practice in the dark without a target.Liang Xiao thought for a long time, until he connected these two things together, he suddenly realized.

The training purpose of this step should be body and mind, the purpose of body is to correct movements, and the purpose of mind is to train attention.Archery is a sport that requires a high degree of concentration. The target is at least dozens of steps away, and may even be a hundred steps away.

There is no target, because I don’t want to cause interference before the movements are formed. Practicing in the dark just suppresses the effect of vision to the minimum and concentrates the attention to the maximum, so I can notice the subtle changes in the body.If there is a scene in front of him, even if he is very careful, he may miss this detail.

After figuring this out, Liang Xiao had a direction.He stood up again, and continued to practice according to the experience just now.Just now it was just spontaneous, but now it is conscious.He practiced the movement of opening the bow over and over again, feeling the subtle changes in his lower back.With these changes as the standard, his understanding of the bow-opening movement has deepened.

Liang Xiao practiced again and again until a ray of sunlight shone on his feet through the crack of the door.

Liang Xiao stopped practicing, his whole body was warm and sweaty, but his breath became deeper and longer.Even Liang Lai noticed this. When eating breakfast, Liang Lai glanced at Liang Xiao a few times.

"What's wrong?" Liang Xiao sipped the rice porridge like a gulp, and asked, "Could it be that there are flowers on my face?"

"Hua'er is not there, but your eyes are bright and you look in good spirits. Xiao'er, you will definitely win today."

It was only then that Liang Xiao remembered that he had to fight Hu Lai today, and Tu Niu'er and his two friends dug a hole in the Golden Chamber Mountain all night, and they never came back.He thought for a while, poured the last two mouthfuls of porridge into his mouth, picked up his small crossbow, turned and went out the door.

"Xiao'er, wait." Liang Yu chased him out, and stuffed a tied live chicken into Liang Xiao's hand. "When you pass by the community tree, pay homage to the community god, and bless you with victory."

"Sacrificing to the god of the society?" Liang Xiao hesitated while holding the chicken.He never expected the gods to bless him, but felt sorry for these chickens.Since he "sick" for a while, the few chickens in the family have been given away and eaten, and this is the last one left.Is it necessary to give it to the god of the society?

"Go quickly, don't dawdle! Forget it, I'll go by myself, you are busy with your work."

Seeing Liang Xiao's hesitation, Liang Nai didn't count on him anymore, turned around and picked up the prepared wine, carrying the chicken, and went out straight to the Sheshu.Liang Xiao followed behind, looking at his mother's agitated look, his nose was sore.No matter how generous and assertive she is, at this time she is a little bit confused, so she has no choice but to pray to God and worship Buddha.

Oh, by the way, there is no Buddha at this time.

When she came to the community tree, Liang Lai placed the chicken in front of the community altar, poured wine, put her palms together, bowed twice, murmured something, then lay down on the ground and kowtowed a few times.Seeing Liang Xiao standing aside, he dragged Liang Xiao over to kowtow.Although Liang Xiao was reluctant, he still knelt down and bowed a few times, just in time to hear his old lady's cursing words.

"Master Chi You, Duke of the East, Queen Mother of the West, Emperor Taiyi of the East, Commander-in-Chief..." After a series of immortal titles, Liang Yu solemnly swore. "My son Liang Xiao is fighting a duel with others. Please bless all the gods. If he returns safely, he will eat a pig and a dog, and a bucket of wine. If there is a mistake, your shrine will be destroyed, and your fireworks will be destroyed..."

Liang Xiao's scalp felt numb when he heard this, and he tugged on his old lady's sleeves. "Mother, this...isn't very good, the gods will be unhappy when they hear this."

Liang Yu didn't think so. "Ah Xiao, you are still young, so you don't understand. Immortals also take hard things and don't take soft things. It's not enough to please people blindly. You have to explain the benefits clearly, so they will help. Otherwise, they will be like those subordinates, and they will ignore you. And you."

Liang Xiao was sweating profusely.The thinking of this Han people is really different from that of later generations. Not only do they have to negotiate conditions with the gods, they even dare to threaten the gods.

"Aunt Liang, what are you doing here?" Tu Hua'er came out from the yard, just in time to see this scene, raised her arms and said hello. "Are you begging for a daughter-in-law for Ah Xiao? Whose girl are you looking for?"

"Hua'er, it's so early." Liang Yu stood up and patted the dirt on her knees. "No, Liang Xiao wants to duel with others, I'm here to ask the God of the Society to bless you."

"That's right. By the way, Ah Xiao, have you seen my brother? He hasn't come back all night, and he doesn't know where he died."

Liang Xiao rolled his eyes. "Sister Hua, Niu'er is doing well. He saw a new grave yesterday and plans to dig it up and prepare some dowry for you."

"Bah! Ah Xiao, you have no conscience, when you marry your wife, do you want your daughter-in-law to use the dead's things as a dowry?" Tu Hua'er cursed, picked up the broom in her hand, and ran over aggressively.

Liang Xiao saw that the general situation was not good, so he ran away.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Ms. Liang grabbed Tu Hua'er and said with a smile, "Hua'er, I see that you have joy on your brows. This is a sign that a happy event is coming."

"Really?" Tu Hua'er immediately became shy, threw Liang Xiao aside, and said coyly, "Aunt Liang, when did you learn to read faces? Did you hear something?"

"Then needless to say, Hua'er is such a capable woman, so many people are vying to marry her."

"Alas—" Tu Hua'er sighed faintly. "What's the use of being able. Nowadays, people are very snobbish. They don't have a dowry, so they don't look down on them. No, my mother finally negotiated the land sale with the Hu family, and my brother, that stupid boy After a toss, it turns yellow again."

"Your brother is not normal now." Liang Yan took Tu Hua'er's hand and said mysteriously: "I heard from Ah Xiao that he has a very good master, and he will practice martial arts in the future and serve in the army. , being given the land by the noble, can you still forget your sister?"

Tuhua'er turned from anger to joy. "Is this true?"
