Chapter 21 Kill two birds with one stone, have a picnic!
Three hundred miles southeast of Xidu is Yunmeng Lake. Countless wild geese and wild ducks fly to Yunmeng Lake to roost. This time of year is also the busiest time in Xidu.
Large geese, wild ducks, swans, and white cranes flew over Xidu, like dark clouds covering the sky, which was very spectacular.
With such a dense concentration of prey, it would be extremely easy to shoot a bird down, but in fact this is not the case.
From a personal point of view, if there are too many prey and the eyes are confused, it is actually difficult to shoot. Sometimes luck is very important. If you aim for a long time, you may miss the target. Instead, everyone shoots randomly together, and you really have a chance of hitting the prey.
This is a metaphysical question.
Of course, from a probability point of view, when such a dense flock of birds flies by, the overall hunting success rate will skyrocket, and some marksmen can kill two birds with one stone.
It is said that Qigong practitioners use strong bows to infuse vitality into arrows, which are astonishingly powerful. One arrow shoots down like a string of gourds, with one arrow hitting many birds. The posture is not to mention how spectacular it is.
"Cangman, you are an excellent archer. I heard you can kill two birds with one stone, or even three birds with one stone. You go first!"
Cangman didn't hesitate, he took out a ten-stone bow from his back, tied a string on the arrow, opened the bow and set the arrow like a full moon. On the bone arrowhead, a bit of cold light flickered, giving people a sense of sharpness that penetrated everything.
Whoosh!
The arrow from the string exploded sharply into the sky, followed by a thin rope, like a roaring dragon, charging at the birds fiercely.
"It's hit, it's hit, Cangman's commander is a master of shooting, he kills two birds with one stone."
The sharp-eyed people shouted loudly, their eyes full of admiration and yearning. Even the grass brought out from the palace and the cooks in the kitchen had little stars in their eyes.
Everyone looked at Cang Man with the look of a hero in their eyes.
It has to be said that the aesthetics of this world are like this. The most handsome and handsome men belong to those warriors who can capture prey in the harsh wilderness, and hunters who are Qi Refiners are the best among them.
When the prey is shot and no one picks it up immediately, everyone is shooting into the sky and entering at will. It is easy to cause accidental injuries. This situation inevitably happens at this time of year, so everyone has experience.
Cang Man bowed his hands to everyone, but he was very conflicted in his heart. He had already given in. With the king here, he did not dare to steal too much limelight. Otherwise, with his shooting skills, it would not be difficult to kill three birds with one stone. After all, he
But I was lucky enough to learn archery skills from Dayi, the leader of the Yi tribe.
The ancestor of Dayi was a master of shooting the sun, and he could train a sharpshooter with just two hands!
"Your Majesty, Cangman failed to kill three birds with one stone."
"Hahahaha, this also depends on luck. It's amazing to be able to kill two birds with one stone."
Yao Yun also got angry, took the four-stone bow from Hu Yi's hand, and was eager to try it.
Yao Yun's bow is very particular. While it is practical, it is engraved with gorgeous hunting pictures, wrapped in animal skin, and even the arrows are luxuriously made of bronze arrowheads.
Bronze is a rare thing in this world, gold generally refers to copper, and ordinary hunters cannot afford bronze arrows.
The previous "Yao Yun" also practiced martial arts, and he was particularly good at archery. Yao Yun has been practicing archery these days with remarkable results.
Drawing the bow and setting up the arrow, a set of movements flowed smoothly and smoothly, and it was very handsome.
"Your Majesty, you are so handsome and brave!"
"Your Majesty, you are mighty!"
The two little girls from the palace, Xingye and Xiaocao, were already very fond of Yao Yun. Now that they saw Yao Yunying's energetic side, their hearts trembled, and they transformed into little fans and shouted out boldly.
At this time, the guards of the palace also shouted, but Cang Man, who had always been a fart, remained silent. As a skilled and psychologically advanced fart, he would not flatter anyone at this time.
If you want to flatter, that's when the king shoots his prey.
That's the best time to flatter you. Now, being courteous is just a trap for yourself. What if the king misses the target?
"A bunch of idiots who don't even know how to flatter!"
Yao Yun didn't care about others. When he was setting up his bow and arrow, he poured vitality into the arrow from Cangman, which reminded him of the golden spell of witchcraft he had learned in the past two days. Then with a thought, the power of his mind blessed the arrow with the golden spell.
Soon, the bronze arrow flashed with a ray of cold light!
Whoosh!
Arrows flew out.
Cangman's ears twitched, his eyes shone with light, and he locked his eyes on the arrow shot by Yao Yun.
Vitality fluctuates!
Cang Man noticed it immediately, and then looked at his king in confusion.
On the slope not far away, the bald dragon tilted his head, pointed at the arrow with his claws, and asked the second elder Wu Tong: "Second Elder Wu, what the prince cast is witchcraft, right? Although it is a minor witchcraft that is not popular, but the mind is strong."
The power of his energy stirs up vitality. This achievement has surpassed that of many witch boys. What's going on?"
The second elder's head was covered with black lines, and it was hard to say: "This... the prince is extremely talented, and I never thought that he would practice so quickly!"
The bald dragon said doubtfully: "Back then, you checked the prince's talent..."
"Unexpected, unexpected. There is always something unusual about the divine descendants of the Imperial Clan, so don't be impatient, Mr. Long. As the Crown Prince said, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. What are you anxious about? Look at the Crown Prince, he has become the king.
Aren’t you much more mature and steady!”
The bald dragon turned his head disdainfully, acquiescing, and continued to focus on Yao Yun. As a result...
"Hahahaha, this great king kills two birds with one stone, and I'm just asking you if you are interested!"
"Hang! Hang! Hang!"
The palace guards and the people of Xidu didn't know why, but the king said he was sorry, who dared not to say so, but a group of people shouted, like beating war drums, with a vigorous momentum, and no filthy meaning could be heard in it.
The bald dragon turned to face the wizard: "Is this what you call maturity?"
"Ahem, cough, cough." Wu Tong couldn't help coughing, and said sarcastically: "After all, he is only a sixteen-year-old child. It is normal to be childish. Besides, the king is so brave."
After saying that, the second elder raised his hand, his gray beard trembling wildly, and shouted: "Hang, hang, hang!"
The bald dragon's face turned blue and he couldn't bear to look at it.
On the other side, after Yao Yun shot the prey, someone immediately pulled it along the rope to find the prey.
What Yao Yun shot was a wild goose and a wild duck. The wild goose had black and white wings and was plump. The other wild duck had a blue head, a white belly, yellow feet, and black hairs all over its body. It looked colorful.
!
At this time, Cang Man was the first to speak out: "Your Majesty is really powerful. As a Qi Refiner, I can only kill two birds with one stone. Your Majesty is amazing!"
Yao Yun nodded with satisfaction. He was also very satisfied with his performance. To be honest, he was not sure whether he could hit the target, but he didn't expect to be so lucky. He killed two birds with one stone, and the result was really gratifying.
This arrow was shot in front of many powerful hunters in Xidu. After such an incident, his reputation as a great king would definitely not be lost.
Yao Yun took over the wild geese and wild ducks. They were so heavy. Yao Yun suddenly felt satisfied. He handed the trophies to his two little girls and casually ordered:
