Golden Summoner

Chapter 569 Ji Chang learns archery

"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. Words, this is an open space outside Handan City. There are many vendors doing small business around it. There are many 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. Scattered, the feathers 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. There are so many arrows, and on the big tree in front, there is only the shaft of the last arrow left.

The man shot another arrow and fired 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 number one marksman in Zhao State..." The big tree next to him said proudly, and then clapped his hands again.

It is indeed Fei Wei!

Xia Pingan 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. The arrow clusters could be dug out and new arrowheads could be forged.

Feiwei 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 you are not weak, you must have practiced before, right?"

"Well, I've been practicing for a while, and I also like hunting. I can barely shoot a bow!"

"What's your name and where do you come from?" Fei Wei continued to ask.

This question would be confusing to ask other people who have integrated the world pearl. 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. The movement was 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 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 find someone to ask 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 a bullock cart on the road.

The old man was sitting on the bullock cart. When he passed Xia Pingan, he tilted his head and looked at Xia Pingan, and then 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 Pingan secretly sweated in his heart. People at this time were simple. Ningjin was not a big place, and there was probably no news or 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 Ping'an could only answer like this.

"Okay, I just have to go collect the leather and pass by your house. Come on, get in the car. On the way..."

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 child 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.

The ox cart traveled slowly on the road. Two hours later, the ox cart 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. Is there any 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 life. Ji Chang can concentrate on archery and martial arts. When the tenant rent was collected, Ji Chang's wife was in charge of all the affairs of the family, and the family lived in harmony and beauty.

Xia Pingan came back this time just to practice his eyesight.

Normally, Xia Pingan watches the clouds rise and set, 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. 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. This process may develop the potential of human eyes.

When he returned home again, Xia Pingan found the hair from a 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 seed 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 watching this 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 a year teaching his archery skills to Xia Pingan.

It wasn't until the night when Xia Pingan was ready to 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 that's your master Gan Ying. What I taught you is to shoot when you have something 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 Ping'an'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 20 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 and made some preparations, then went directly to Shu to look for Gan Ying.

Xia Ping'an searched for him in Sichuan for a year, and it didn't matter. No one in Shu had heard of Gan Ying's name, but he still didn't give up.

Later, Xia Ping'an focused his search on Mount Emei, and searched near Mount Emei. He searched back and forth for more than half a year, but found nothing.

On this day, while Xia Pingan was searching on the mountain, he suddenly heard a slight hum from a person in the grass in the valley below the mountain road. Xia Pingan was a little curious, so he went down the slope of the mountain road to the mountain below. In the valley, I saw an old man lying in the grass. The old man was dressed like a woodcutter and had a hatchet on his body. Next to him, there was a pile of beaten firewood.

The woodcutter seemed to have accidentally slipped down the mountain path above.

"Ah, father-in-law, are you okay?" Xia Pingan quickly helped the father-in-law sit up.

"I'm old, and I feel uncomfortable walking on some mountain roads. I accidentally slipped down just now. Brother, can you help me up!" The woodcutter said to Xia Pingan in an authentic Sichuan accent.

"Old man, where is your home? Let me take you back?" Xia Pingan said, and he carried the woodcutter on his back.

"Brother, you are a good person. My home is on the hillside at the foot of the mountain, only seven or eight miles away from here..."

"Old man, show me the way and I'll take you home!"

The woodcutter thanked him profusely. Xia Pingan carried the woodcutter out of the ravine, then walked four or five miles on the mountain road, and finally sent the woodcutter to his home.

It was really difficult to walk on a mountain road for more than ten miles, carrying someone on my back.

The woodcutter's home was a small wooden house at the foot of the mountain. Apart from the woodcutter, there was no one else in the small wooden house.

"Brother, can you please help me pick up the firewood that I just chopped? I finally found the firewood and I have to sell it for money. I don't want to waste it!" When he got home, the woodcutter said to him again: Xia Ping'an said.

"Old man, how much is that firewood worth? I bought it!" Xia Pingan was stunned for a moment, then he took out the money to buy the woodcutter's firewood.

"Oh, no reward for no work. Brother, I can't take your money. I only want my firewood. Brother, you are tired today, so forget it. I will go on my own after I have a day off..." The woodcutter Said sheepishly.

Xia Pingan glanced at the father-in-law and smiled, "I was too abrupt. Dad, please wait at home while I go pick up your firewood for you!"

After that, Xia Ping'an left the wooden house and walked another seven or eight miles of mountain road back to the small ravine. He found the place where the woodcutter had left the firewood and picked up a load of firewood.

After doing this, by the time Xia Pingan returned to the woodcutter's cabin, it was getting a little late, the sun was almost setting, and Xia Pingan himself was sweating from exhaustion.

Xia Ping'an hadn't even taken a sip of water when the woodcutter said to him again, "Brother, you have picked up all my firewood. Can you help me deliver the firewood to Chunfeng Tower in Liujiazhuang down the mountain?" It's firewood for Chunfeng Tower, I promised to send it to Chunfeng Tower..."

"Okay, father-in-law, please wait a moment, I will deliver it to you right now!" Xia Pingan said, without getting angry, he just picked up the firewood and was about to leave.

"The roast chicken and wine at Chunfenglou are good. Brother, please use the money from selling firewood to bring me some wine and food. I haven't eaten anything all day..." That = the woodcutter also confessed.

Xia Pingan nodded, picked up the firewood and went down the mountain. After walking five or six miles, he finally found Chunfeng Tower and delivered the load of firewood.

The shopkeeper of Chunfeng Tower paid for the firewood, but the firewood was not enough to buy wine and roast chicken. Xia Pingan added money by himself, bought wine and roast chicken, and took them back to the woodcutter's cabin.

When I returned to the cabin, it was completely dark. I handed the wine and the roast chicken wrapped in lotus leaves to the woodcutter. The woodcutter finally laughed and invited Xia Pingan to drink wine and eat chicken together. Xia Pingan did not refuse. Just having a fire with the old man in the cabin, drinking wine, and eating roast chicken.

After two glasses of wine, the old man put down his glass and suddenly said, "How are Feiwei in Handan?"

Xia Ping'an was stunned, looking at the old man's smile, he quickly bowed to the old man, "Ji Chang has met the master!"

"Hahaha..." The old man laughed, with a different look on his brows, and there was still the aura of a woodcutter on his body, "That boy Fei Wei is the most unreasonable and irritable person. When I taught him my skills, he felt that He has almost learned it, and in order to compete with me, he actually sneaked up on me. However, I didn’t teach him my ability to shoot without shooting. He was too impatient and didn’t subdue his anger. He just wanted to go out after learning a little bit. , I really want to teach him the skills of the god of non-shooting. He will cause big troubles, but his vision of people is not bad, and he can teach you some skills. It seems that he has grown a lot in the past few years. You are good. , you can learn my ability to shoot without shooting..."
