The place where the arrow landed was connected to the entrance of the courtyard. A very thin arrow pierced into the wall with a "swish" sound, and the people walking towards the entrance of the courtyard were startled.
Wu Daozi looked at the arrows on the wall. He couldn't help but feel scared when he recalled the previous time. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's so fast!"
At such a speed, let alone Wu Daozi, even Yue Ping, who was good at using hidden weapons, would find it difficult to dodge.
Although the arrows on the wall were small, Wu Daozi, who was familiar with arrows, weapons, concealed weapons and other things, could see the problem at a glance.
His original intention was to come to his apprentice's place to ask for a drink. Unexpectedly, he saw an arrow that had never been seen in the world as soon as he entered the courtyard. His first reaction was that someone was attacking him again, but he soon felt that it was impossible. Such an arrow
It is impossible for the branch to miss. If someone really wanted to plot against him, he would probably be dead long ago.
After being relieved, Wu Daozi took the arrow and looked at it. This small arrow had never been seen before, but looking at it with a craftsman's eye, it seemed simple, but there were many exquisite craftsmanship in the design that made it possible.
The arrow was shot out at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye. Even he, the best craftsman in the world, had never had such an idea.
"Who made this?"
As soon as an idea came to his mind, Xia Shang's voice came from not far away: "Fifth Master, didn't I scare you just now?"
Looking around, Wu Daozi saw his apprentice waving to him at the door of the hut.
"Apprentice?" Wu Daozi was suspicious, "Could it be him?"
With doubts and arrows on the wall, Wu Daozi entered the room and was about to ask Xia Shang when he saw the old Taoist among them: "Immortal?"
"You came just in time, I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?"
The old Taoist pointed to Xia Shang: "What I have learned in the Spring and Autumn Period has been successful. I would like to ask you, the master, to comment on it."
Wu Daozi looked at the arrow in his hand: "Is this it?"
At the same time, Lao Daoyou gave Xia Shang the bow designed: "Look, I have never seen it before. The previous arrow was also quite powerful, and people with weaker skills would have difficulty surviving under this arrow."
Wu Daozi looked at the two objects for a long time, his brows getting closer and closer in silence, and after a long time he sighed: "What this evildoer said is true. Such a bow and such arrows have never been seen before in ancient times! Even if
It’s me... I can’t figure it out either.”
Xia Shang rubbed his nose and felt a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's not what the disciple thought. It's just based on what I saw and heard in the past, and based on the master's teachings, the disciple made some improvements. The disciple has learned a lot these days.
It’s all about handicrafts, and I’ve come to realize these days that everything has to go through my own hands before I can design what I want. In the past, bows like this were also made by people, but the power was much less than now. I didn’t expect that everything would be done by myself.
With some improvement, your hands will have such effect."
"The craftsmanship is impeccable. You have really made rapid progress these days. I knew you were a genius in this field from the crossbows you gave me earlier. Now that I have seen your bow again, I feel ashamed and do not know how to teach you."
What did you say?" As he spoke, Wu Daozi looked a little gloomy.
"These days, the disciple has read all the master's notes. This is the most precious treasure that the master has given to the disciple. In which notes, the disciple knows that the art of dexterity is far more than just an arrow and a bow.
There are many unknowns, but it is a pity that the apprentice is also a layman and does not have so many thoughts to continue to deepen..."
"What do you mean..." Wu Daozi interrupted.
The old Taoist added: "Chunqiu feels that what he has learned in recent days is too much and too complicated, and he wants to suspend the study of mechanism skills."
"I understand." Wu Daozi smiled faintly and looked down at Xia Shang, "You are my successor in Guigu, and I am very happy as a teacher. If you can carry forward the mechanism technique in the future, I will feel relieved."
After saying that, Wu Daozi turned and left, his back always looking a little dim.
Xia Shang saw that the fifth master was in a bad mood, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old Taoist: "Every one of your masters is like this. They have lived for so many years, and their only wish is to find someone to inherit their mantle. Each of them
Everyone wants you to learn everything they know, but I don't want you to do that. Your mission is to revive Hero Village. You said you don't have time, and I don't have time either, so I can't give you too much time.
My original plan is to make you more successful in three years. I don’t expect you to be so talented, so I can speed up the pace. After all, hidden weapons, traps, and poisons are all things that cannot be put on the table. The most important thing I want you to learn is kung fu. I just want you to learn kung fu.
It's a pity that your progress in learning the Hehuan Kung Fu is too slow, and my Kung Fu focuses on breathing, so I haven't taught you anything yet."
"What about the Sixth Master? All the masters have handed over to me, why did the Sixth Master..."
"Your Sixth Master is different from them. He is a true genius. He was the only one who could compete with the Master back then. His sword is powerful and he is upright. If you want to learn his skills, you must have a clear mind.
That’s why Grand Master never asked him to teach you.”
Xia Shang nodded, full of expectation: "So, if I am detoxified, I can learn Kung Fu from the Sixth Master?"
"Of course yes."
"Then can you please invite the third master to come? Then I will detoxify myself wholeheartedly."
The old Taoist stood up, nodded and was about to invite Guang Xie. When he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something and turned around and said: "You should put away your bow. This thing is extraordinary and easy to imitate. If it spreads, I don't know how much trouble there will be. You want
Please pay attention at all times and take good care of it.”
Xia Shang nodded and carefully hid the compound bow in the house.
At this time, in the abandoned school ground in the same snow in Suzhou, there were several archery targets under the old trees in the corner. In the snow more than ten meters away, several people in bloated clothes held up their bows and shot a few arrows at the targets.
arrow.
The arrows landed on the target one after another, motionless in the wind and snow.
There were men and women among these people. After they finished shooting, one of them said, "Did you see it? It's just like that if you can shoot through a poplar with a hundred steps!"
The postures of the archers were extraordinary, but there was a man beside them who looked cunning and cunning. He rubbed his hands in the snow, half-bowed and laughed: "The archery skills of these heroes are naturally first-class. But a few of them are very good at archery."
How many years of hard training did this skill take? However, with the mechanisms made by our Guigu, even people who don’t know how to bow and arrow can shoot through the enemy with a hundred steps."
"What a joke! Do you think our archery skills can be replaced by just one or two of your agencies?"
"Dear heroes, don't be angry. You will know the truth only after you have experienced it. Today, I will let you heroes see our Guigu mechanism technique."
After saying that, the little man with a cunning face took off the baggage on his back, put it on the ground and opened it. Inside, there was a strange-shaped bow.
"What is this?"
"Of course it's a crossbow."
"How strange! I have never seen such a bow!"
Several people present looked at each other and shook their heads.
The little man smiled proudly: "You haven't seen that, it's natural. This is the secret that my ancestor Wu Daozi, the master of ghost drums, didn't tell during his lifetime!" (To be continued)
