Chapter 71: Throwing the Pot
Chapter 71 Tossing Pots
Author: Emei Swordsman
Ren Yingze behaved domineeringly and was not lenient at all in his words:
"If you don't respond, I will go to the magistrate and say that you, the direct disciple of the headmaster of Luxi Academy, are as timid as a mouse and shrink your head and dare not compete with me. When the time comes, in front of all your lords, I will
Let’s see if Xu Chengyu still has the nerve!”
Gu Yunji suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were so cold that he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave: "Ren Yingze, is my teacher's name something you can call directly?"
With that said, he stood up in a leisurely manner, walked up to Ren Yingze in a leisurely manner, looked directly into his eyes and said: "Isn't it because we made you lose face in Hongyun Restaurant? You are unwilling to accept it. You want to get it back this time."
The place? As you wish, we will accept the challenge."
"But it's true that my foot injury is real. I'm not lying to you. If you want to compete in polo and Cuju, Su Qi and the others can do it, but I can't play. If it's something else, I can still play with you."
"Okay! Then let's throw pot." As if he was afraid that Gu Yunji would regret it, Ren Yingze agreed on the spot, "I can't move my foot because of my injury, but my hands are fine. If we compete in pot throwing, it doesn't count as bullying you, right?"
Gu Yunji smiled slightly, not afraid at all: "It doesn't count."
Ren Yingze is really good at picking. Among the martial arts, Gu Yunji is best at throwing pots. During the days when he was recuperating, he would practice throwing with pot arrows when he had nothing to do. After a month, he can't say that he can hit a hundred or nine out of ten shots.
It's still no problem, it's enough to deal with Ren Yingze.
Soon, all the equipment for throwing pots were ready. Gu Yunji and Ren Yingze stood a few steps apart, standing side by side, staring intently at the ear-piercing bottles in front of them.
One is the direct disciple of Mountain Chief Xu Chengyu, and the other is the grandson of Zhao Feng, the academic officer. They are both influential figures in their respective schools, and they can always attract the attention of others easily.
The two men were going to compete in pot throwing, which was very interesting to watch. Soon, a large circle of students gathered around to watch the excitement.
Looking at Ren Yingze's high-spirited and upright figure, the people from Hangzhou Fuxue looked like they were sure of victory, and said proudly: "Humph, our senior brother Ren is a versatile man in both literature and martial arts, whether it is poetry or writing, Cuju, or willow shooting.
He is proficient in everything. Gu Yunji dares to compete with him in the pot throwing competition? Isn't that a sure defeat?"
Hearing this, the students at Luxi Academy clenched their fists involuntarily, their faces full of dissatisfaction.
Some people also said with concern: "I know Gu Yunji's literary talent is good, but is he good at throwing pots? Let's talk about his age first. Ren Yingze has already been crowned, and Gu Yunji is only fifteen years old, which is much better than him.
He's half a head shorter, so his arm strength alone can't compare, right?"
Su Qi raised his eyebrows and retorted: "What are you doing? Adding other people's ambition to destroying your own prestige? Pot throwing is not horseback riding and archery, so why do you need so much arm strength? What's more, we Yunji are very self-disciplined, eat well and exercise diligently. Our body is
It’s still strong!”
"On the other hand, this Ren Yingze, although he has grown so tall, has dark circles under his eyes and is sluggish in his steps. I'm afraid he is suffering from kidney failure!"
As soon as these words came out, the slightly depressed atmosphere in Luxi Academy suddenly relaxed, and everyone burst into low laughter.
Ren Yingze's face turned blue and white. He gave Su Qi a look and urged the referee next to him, who was serving as a vocalist: "What are you waiting for? Start quickly!"
Upon seeing this, the referee quickly cleared his throat, walked up to the crowd and shouted loudly: "The first pot throwing competition on the first day of the entertainment fair is about to begin! The two sides are - Gu Yunji from Luxi Academy; Ren Yingze from Hangzhou Fu School."
"The two people each hold five pot arrows and throw them in sequence. The one with the most hits wins. You cannot be the first, you cannot throw too many shots, and you cannot move the distance without authorization! Now let's draw lots to see who comes first, and the shorter one comes last!"
After saying that, the referee turned away from everyone, grabbed two pieces of grass from the ground, held them in his hand, and handed them to Ren Yingze and Gu Yunji.
At this time, Ren Yingze no longer wanted to be humble, and he randomly pulled out a piece of grass. He turned around and compared it with Gu Yunji's, and found that his own was longer. So he took the lead in picking up a pot arrow and stared at the Guan'er bottle in front of him for a moment.
, started throwing out.
An arrow hit the bottle.
The referee sang: "The first arrow hits the mark, there is a chance! Three plans -"
Seeing this, Ren Yingze smiled slightly, cupped his hands towards Gu Yunji, and said proudly: "I accept it!"
"This is the first arrow, why are you so anxious?" Gu Yunji did not hesitate at all, he adjusted his position in a leisurely manner, and then shot an arrow decisively.
The arrow collided with the bottle and made a soft sound. The referee bent down and took a closer look, and then his eyes lit up: "The first arrow hit the ear! It's five moves -"
The crowd behind Gu Yunji suddenly burst into cheers and clapped excitedly: "Okay! One arrow to the ear, a good start! This is just the right time to kill the majesty of Hangzhou Fuxue. I want to see what they are like!"
"
As its name suggests, the Guan-er bottle is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It has a long straight neck, a flat belly, and symmetrical vertical tubular ears on both sides of the neck. The mouth of the bottle is narrow, so it is not easy to hit it with an arrow, but the bottle
The opening of the transaural tube on the side is even narrower, making it more than twice as difficult as throwing it into the pot.
Looking at the steady arrow in the right ear on the side of the bottle, Ren Yingze's expression was almost unbearable. He calmed down, calmed down his somewhat unstable mind, and waved his arm to shoot another arrow.
"The second arrow hit, it hit the target consecutively! A double plan -"
The pot arrow hit, but Ren Yingze's expression still didn't improve. The first arrow accounted for the most points, even if all the arrows after him hit, as long as Gu Yunji's pot arrow didn't miss, he couldn't tie the score.
Gu Yunji's expression remained unchanged and he calmly threw the second arrow.
The arrow flew out of the pot and landed very accurately in the left ear on the side of the bottle, making a "clang" sound. In addition to the arrow just now, one on the left and one on the right, it hit the ear in succession, making four moves.
"Hit in a row! Hit the target in a row! Hahahahahaha! There is no need to compete later, our Luxi Academy is definitely going to win!"
Listening to the roaring and tsunami-like joy coming from the opposite side, Ren Yingze's face was as dark as water. He changed his previous steady throwing method, gritted his teeth, picked up a pot arrow, aimed it at the left ear of the ear bottle in front of him, and threw an arrow.
.
The referee glanced at the kettle arrow that passed by and fell on the grass, and said loudly: "The third arrow missed, touch your ear! Let's make a plan——"
Ren Yingze's eyes were red, and he kicked the table next to him angrily. His fists clenched loudly, and he could no longer hide the unwillingness and resentment on his face.
When Gu Yunji saw this, he chuckled, ignoring his look as if he was about to kill someone, and casually threw the third arrow, hitting the bottle.
"The third arrow hit, consecutive hits! Two plans -"
After both sides shot three arrows, Ren Yingze was five behind Gu Yunji. If he wanted to tie the score with the next two arrows, not only did Ren Yingze himself have to surprise and hit the target, but also Gu Yunji had to perform abnormally and at least one of his arrows missed.
Easier said than done?
Not to mention that Gu Yunji was very calm and collected from the beginning to the end, and it was unlikely that he would perform abnormally. Ren Yingze's face was already ferocious at this moment, his hands were shaking with anger, his psychological defense was about to collapse, and he could hardly stand still.
Seeing that there was no hope of winning the game, Ren Yingze was in a state of confusion. He grabbed several kettle arrows as if irrationally, and threw them forward one after another without hesitation. One of them missed, and they all fell to the ground in a mess on the grass.
When everyone in Luxi Academy saw this, they immediately shouted: "Hey! It's against the rules! It doesn't count!"
The referee frowned: "Only one arrow can be thrown at a time. Ren Yingze violated the rules. There is no need to continue the next two rounds. In this pot throwing competition, Gu Yunji wins!"
Hearing this, while Gu Yunji was celebrating, he did not forget to ridicule Ren Yingze: "Oh, you cheated when you saw that you couldn't win. That's all you have in Hangzhou Fuxue."
"Hahahahaha what the hell? You aggressively took the initiative to provoke me, only to be beaten to a pulp by Junior Brother Gu. This must be an unpleasant feeling!"
It doesn't matter if you lose the game, what you fear most is that you can't afford to lose. Ren Yingze was obviously in a hurry these last few times, and even ignored the rules of the game. Not only did he feel aggrieved, but he also made Hangzhou Fuxue lose face.
Gu Yunji walked over leisurely, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How are you? Are you convinced?"
Ren Yingze's face was sinister, and he reluctantly spoke out from between his teeth: "No, accept! It was an accident just now, I want to compete with you again!"
