Chapter 350 Draw the Bow

Bai Shu came out of the small village on the border of Luo Kingdom. Although he had just lost Ling Wen'er, he had nothing, but he was fearless.

But despite this, Bai Shu still had times of discomfort. But now, amid the discussions and the eyes of everyone, Bai Shu couldn't feel any discomfort at all.

He was out of place with everyone in the world, so he never cared about anyone's gaze.

So Bai Shu raised her eyes, with only the silver-white bullseye in the distance.

Bai Shu pulled the bow, and the posture was really ridiculous in the eyes of experts. Even the young boy who had just entered the army looked more skillful and sophisticated than Bai Shu's current posture.

Li Yu also seemed to be humiliated, his face looked ugly, and he even wanted to stop this childish competition.

Because if Bai Shu really doesn't know how to shoot arrows, even if Li Yu beat Bai Shu today, it would not be a glorious and commendable thing.

There were military officers in the crowd, and there were many good shooters. Someone sarcastically said, "Put down the bow and arrow quickly. The way you put your bow makes me unable to help but think of the wild charms we caught in the mountains on the Hualuo border decades ago."

Most of the people present couldn't understand this, but when someone understood it, they began to laugh out loud and even burst into tears.

This aroused everyone's curiosity, including Bai Shu. He lowered his bow and looked at the man, waiting for a reasonable explanation.

The man said proudly: "The only one who knows about this now is our older brothers."

He paused, coughed his throat and explained: "At that time, there were many strange things in the mountains on the Hualuo border. They all said that monsters harmed people, and some said that they were bandits and robbers..."

When he said this, more people's memories were awakened, and some people suddenly figured out something and laughed out loud.

By this point, Bai Shu had lost the interest in continuing to listen, so he pulled up his bow again.

The man continued to preach: "In the end, we realized that there were some monsters or bandits, but a few wild monkeys who stole the hunter's bows and arrows, and even learned to shoot arrows, and even killed others in the mountains. We call those monkeys wild charms."

The whole story came out together, and everyone felt that Bai Shu was indescribable and funny. The person who spoke was even more laughing, as if he had encountered the funniest thing in the world.

Just as he was laughing, the arrow on Bai Shu's bowstring suddenly broke off the string. After a moment, a loud noise appeared on the table that mocked Bai Shu, and a feather arrow was inserted. The tail of the feather arrow was still swaying due to the huge impact force, making a buzzing sound.

The arrow was only a slight difference from the man's thigh, and the man's sharp and harsh laughter stopped abruptly. He looked at everything in front of him with a surprised face. The food and wine on the table spilled him all over.

All laughter stopped, and all eyes fell on Bai Shu.

Bai Shu took a step forward with the bow in one hand, and his casual and skillful appearance was like Bai Shu pressing a talisman in his hand.

Bai Shu smiled and said to the man: "A wild monkey can kill people if there are too many bows in his hand. Do you think I have too many bows in my hand?"

The man was still in shock. He looked at Bai Shu as if he had seen a hungry ghost. Bai Shu's arrow flashed with a cold light, as fast as lightning. It was only a little short of it and shot on the man's thigh.

Bai Shu continued: "It's not anyone's turn to do anything, and I won't do anything worse than anyone else."

Speaking of this, Bai Shu's tone became much calmer, and there was no smile on his face. He said, "If you have to laugh, I'll give you two ways to choose."

Bai Shu looked at the man with a bright look and said, "First, you might as well wait until I lose before laughing. Second, you can go to the underworld to laugh now."

Bai Shu pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver and said, "I wonder how sir, how can you choose?" Bai Shu said, looking around and said, "Or, a certain sir, want to be a companion with him on the road to the underworld?"

"Your arch-holding posture is wrong. You should raise your elbows a little higher and your wrists should be relaxed."

At this moment of tension, Li Yu suddenly walked to Bai Shu and corrected the mistake Bai Shu had made before shooting.

Bai Shu knew that Li Yu was one of the experts, so he nodded and finally let the man go. He turned around and faced the silver bullseye and put the bow again.

Li Yu was still patiently teaching Bai Shu the posture of pulling the bow, including the key points of archery.

"You can't focus your eyes on the bowstring, nor just look at the bull's eye. You have to find the most suitable point between two positions..."

Bai Shu didn't say anything, but just adjusted his movements and vision as Li Yu said.

Li Yu was still saying: "Release the tip of the bow a little more, this is a far target."

Bai Shu adjusted his movements as Li Yu said. He could even imagine the wonderful trajectory drawn by the arrow shot out under the moonlight.

Just like Bai Shu punching the iron under Xu Ye's teaching, the trajectory of the hammer falling down was as moving.

Learning from the top people in the industry is undoubtedly an extremely enjoyable thing.

Someone in the crowd looked at this scene and sighed: "Even if this kid has been studying with Li Yu for a hundred years, he may not be able to beat General Li Yu. How could there be any reason why his apprentice is better than his master."

Bai Shu also heard this sentence, and he just smiled. He felt that his future was stronger than the spectator, and he felt that Ye Taoling's achievements must be better than those of the Sword Sect leader.

Even one day someone told Bai Shu that Ye Taoling's sword cultivation had surpassed Yao Ji, or even surpassed the previous sword master, Bai Shu would not be surprised.

Some people have the ultimate attainment in a certain field, which is nothing strange. What is strange is that Bai Shu can do the best no matter what he does.

He seemed to be a civil and military versatile talent who could never forget everything and never lose his mistakes.

Vatti looked at Bai Shu's figure with unblinking eyes, his eyes full of expectation and curiosity. He murmured to himself: "It's interesting, it's really interesting."

Li Yuyue taught Bai Shu, the more shallow the underestimation in his heart. No matter what, Bai Shu had been holding this arrow for so long, the arm that pulled the bow did not tremble from beginning to end.

This alone is enough to make Li Yu feel admired. If it were him, he might not have been able to do this.

If it was a few years ago, when Li Yu was still on the battlefield, or when he was competing with Luo Fan every day, Li Yu might have absolute courage and confidence.

But now that he has been guarding the tomb of Wucheng for so long, Li Yu cannot guarantee whether he can do this.

"Pay attention to your breathing. When you loosen the arrow, you must ensure that your breathing is stable." Li Yu said last, his eyes moved away from Bai Shu and finally landed on the target in the distance.

Bai Shu said "I understand", then thanked him softly, and finally sent his fingers with the feather arrow clamped.

The arrow left the string and a silver light flashed in the air.

There were too many soldiers from the army present. The newly-entered young men who shot archery for the first time were mostly off-target. Even if there were targets, they just hit the edge of the target.

If it was the bull's-eye, no one present had seen such a despicable luck. But at this moment they felt panicked and fearful, thinking that Bai Shu might have such luck.

Fortunately, although this arrow was on the target, it was still a distance away from the bull's eye, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief. The feeling of being oppressed by Bai Shu's momentum also disappeared without a trace.

What kind of genius? Where can I find genius in this world? Everything depends on hard work, not a magical stroke or luck overnight.

Bai Shu also looked regretful, and he turned to look at Li Yu, with a hint of questioning in his eyes.

A drop of cold sweat slid from Li Yu's forehead because Li Yu knew that the arrow could only shoot to that position according to the shooting method he taught.

He was silent for a moment and said, "You also have to consider the surrounding environment, especially the wind." Li Yu paused and said, "There are also the same bow, but each arrow is different. The feather pattern and the weight of the bow will make a completely different shooting. Even if the same arrow flies in the air once and hits the target once, you pick it up again, it will not be the same arrow."

Li Yu sighed slightly. These principles are easy to understand, but it is difficult to do. If he had not been tempered by tens of thousands of arrows, he would not have been able to reach this level today.

He could not have known how to adjust the arrow and how to shoot it out the moment he drew the arrow.

The second you draw the arrow, you must clearly see the curve and straightness of the entire arrow and the pattern of the tail feathers. You must also judge the weight of the arrow, the angle and strength of the action based on your feelings.

This kind of thing does not rely on teaching, there is only one way, that is experience. A large amount of experience accumulation cannot make a person's archery technique impeccable, but it can make a person's deviation narrow to an infinite extent during a shooting process.

Not only these things, but also the slight changes in the light at a certain moment, the feel of a person, and the slight changes in the bowstring affected by humidity and temperature, can affect the trajectory and landing point of an arrow.

Li Yu was really aware of this, so Bai Shu's arrow shot to this effect, and Li Yu was already very surprised.

But in addition to being surprised, Li Yu also knew how difficult it was for Bai Shu to master these things. Li Yu never thought he would lose today. He thought Bai Shu had no chance to beat him.

But at this moment, Li Yu admired Bai Shu very much. He believed that Bai Shu was a good seedling, a seedling that could surpass himself in the future.

So Li Yu said, "Oh, we won't compete today. If we have the chance in the future, let's discuss archery well."

Everyone was stunned after being stunned. It was not because Li Yu suddenly wanted to give up this competition, but Li Yu used the word "discussion" in this sentence.

Only people of the same level or who are of similar levels will use this word to discuss. People like Li Yu should use words like teaching and teaching to Bai Shu, which is appropriate.
