Chapter 634 Buying a Bow and Shooting a Bow is a Gentleman
"Since you have accepted a disciple and want to give gifts, what do you plan to give?" Cui Ying looked at Lin Li and asked.
Lin Li waved his hand, "There is no need to give something too valuable. I am not stingy. Even if I give you a high-grade spiritual weapon now, the Qin Feng family will not be able to use it. Instead, it is a crime to have it. Of course it is most appropriate to give it.
Yes. I plan to buy some things needed for body tempering and give them to my disciple for later use."
Cui Ying nodded, "You have thought it through, have you thought about what to give me specifically? Your Jade Bone Kung Fu is very suitable for body tempering, and it is better than many body tempering boxing techniques outside."
Lin Li opened his hands, performed a bow and arrow gesture, and said: "A few days ago, after I became the city lord, I went to inspect the city wall and borrowed a soldier's bow and arrow to pull it. Although the bow tension was very small, it could be used casually.
It is fully drawn, but every time you draw the bow, it is equivalent to twisting, twisting, twisting and shaking the muscles of the whole body. Think about it, it is indeed the best way to temper the body, it is simply stronger than any boxing. No wonder some
The country has six arts: archery, etiquette, music, archery, chastity, and calligraphy. Archery is the first of the six arts. If I know the tempering method of opening the bow when I am tempering, it will save me several months of tempering. This is because I have the guidance of a famous teacher.
benefits.”
Cui Ying looked at Lin Li in disbelief, "I didn't expect you to be so familiar with the art of shooting."
Lin Li smiled and said, "I didn't know it at first. I checked the information specifically. Shooting can not only temper the body, but it is also a way to cultivate one's moral character and cultivate a gentleman's demeanor. 'A gentleman has nothing to fight for, so he will shoot. He will rise with his bow and drink from the bottom.
His struggle is a gentleman's.'"
"Don't talk to me about these nonsense. Only those stupid scholars do that."
Cui Ying smiled and pushed Lin Li's arm, "So, you are sure to give me the bow. However, bows and arrows are only available in the army and cannot be used by us cultivators. They are not sold in outside shops. You
Why do you want to buy it? Why not go directly to the military camp to get it."
"The ones in the military camp are too rough and there are no good bows."
Lin Li waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, I know where to buy bows. The Wei family of Binghan City is a family that makes bows and arrows. Their ancestors were all members of the Machinery Bureau of the military. Their family is also engaged in the trading of spiritual weapons and weapons. Although there is no such thing in the shop.
Selling bows, but hanging some top-quality bows in the store to show the identity and strength of the family behind them, let's go there."
After walking through four busy streets and a distance of 5,000 steps, Lin Li, accompanied by Cui Ying, arrived at a spiritual weapon and sword shop on Caiyuan Street.
What comes to you is a shop with a three-story pavilion facing the street. There is a large gold-lacquered signboard on it: "Guan Liao Hao".
"This is the storefront of Guan Liao Hao." Lin Li looked up at the gold-lettered signboard. The characters were deep and powerful, as sharp as an arrow. The first glance made people think, "This store is not trivial, why don't you go in and take a look."
idea.
Cui Ying glanced inside the shop and wondered, "It's obviously a shop that sells spiritual weapons and swords, so why does it have such an incomprehensible name?"
Lin Li smiled and said, "Isn't the 'Songjiang Shop' I visited a few days ago even more irrelevant? The name of Guan Liao does not forget his old profession, and he obtained it very skillfully, showing the pinnacle of the Wei family's bow and arrow manufacturing technology.
There is a rare marksman who can hang a louse a hundred steps away and shoot an arrow, which can penetrate the louse. Such a state has been recorded in the classics and is popular among people. Over time, people call "piercing the louse"
It is the pinnacle of archery and shooting. It is widely spread among the military."
"Penetrating lice" is a higher level than "piercing poplars with a hundred steps".
Cui Yingmei turned her eyes and said, "It's not easy to penetrate a louse from a hundred steps away. Our cultivators' attacks with spiritual weapons are a hundred times more powerful, but they don't have that kind of accuracy. I'm curious and want to go in and have a look."
The two walked in and saw that behind the counter were steel knives, spiritual weapons, etc., but the walls were covered with all kinds of bows, used as decorations. Lin Li walked closer and looked at the bows.
Longbows and shortbows are indeed not a little more refined than those in the military camp. The ones provided for the military camp are mass-produced, but these bows are the pride of the people who made them.
"Sir, our shop is owned by the Binghan City Wei family, who have been making bows for generations. Look at these bows. We have beef tendon, silk, and python tendon bows. We also have bamboo, mulberry, and chestnut wood.
The finest rubbing wood, well-made bows and arrows, and the spiritual weapons are all guaranteed."
Seeing Lin Li wandering around to watch, a neat attendant immediately came up to greet him.
Lin Li glanced at the attendant and said, "I'm not here to buy a spiritual weapon today. I'm here specifically to buy a bow. Get this one for me to take a look at."
"Buying a bow?"
The attendant was stunned, but as long as he could sell spiritual stones, he didn't care what he bought, so he took off the bow and gave it to Lin Li, and explained, "This is a chestnut horn silk bow, with a bow power of sixty kilograms. That one is Tuomu Ox
The sinew bow has a bow strength of one hundred and twenty kilograms."
Lin Li took the bow and saw that the length of the bow was medium and the string tension was strong. He stretched out his hand and hooked a finger, and the bow string was stretched to the full moon. When it was sent, the bow string released with a "pop" sound, making a crisp, powerful and solid sound.
Lin Li nodded, "Yes, I want this bow, as well as the 120-pound Tuomu beef tendon bow."
In the body tempering realm, it was enough to have bows of sixty kilograms and one hundred and twenty kilograms. The bows given to the apprentices were now available. Suddenly, Lin Li also had the urge to buy a bow. But the bows here were obviously not suitable for him.
, too weak.
Lin Li said: "Which is the strongest bow in your shop? Give it to me."
The attendants were slightly surprised when they saw Lin Li pull away sixty kilograms of kung fu with a single hook of his finger, but it was nothing. As long as he was practicing kung fu, he could still have several hundred kilograms of strength, which was quite common.
He walked around behind the counter and took off a large bow with a cyan bow and silver-white strings hanging on the wall. "This is a Tuomu python tendon bow. The strings are python tendons from the Yuan Dan realm. They are soaked in special juice for eight months."
, it can be drawn thousands of times without losing elasticity, and the bow has a force of 600 kilograms."
Lin Li took the bow and weighed it. It felt much more solid than the previous two handles. He held the bow in his left hand and hooked the string with his right thumb to draw the bow.
The attendant was stunned. Could it be that the man in front of him was a fool who didn't know that the bow string would cut his thumb? However, the guest was injured and it was his responsibility. He quickly stopped him and said, "My guest, you need to wear a steel finger to draw the bow and fire the arrow."
…”
While the attendant was talking, Lin Li had already drawn the bow into a full moon shape, and his fingers were unscathed.
Bang, bang!
With a false release, the python's tendons and bowstrings buzzed and trembled. Under the force of 600 kilograms, it could cut a trace out of the steel, but it could not break Lin Li's skin.
"this……"
The attendant opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe the scene before him. Even Cui Ying stared at Lin Li's fingers and found that not only were there no injuries at all, there wasn't even a white mark on them.
Lin Li's skin couldn't even be cut by a spiritual weapon, so how could he care about the strangulation of the bowstring?
"Sir, do you want this rolled-wood python bow?" the attendant asked with great respect.
"don't want."
Lin Li answered very simply, "This bow has a power of 600 kilograms. I'm giving it away. Children can't use it. If I use it, it's too weak. Hey, I didn't expect that a family specializing in bows and arrows wouldn't have good stuff."
Lin Li sighed, he had no intention of motivating the generals, he just said it casually, but it is normal to think about it. The Wei family makes bows and arrows for the army. Even if they make a strong bow, no one can use it. Besides, the materials are hard to find.
.
However, Lin Li's words had the effect of motivating the generals.
Lin Li easily pulled out the 600-pound bow, which naturally attracted the attention of most people in the store. Hearing his words, the store steward on the side was unhappy, "The bows of the Wei family, not to mention the entire Binghan City, are the
Bingzhou is also number one. If you can't find what you like here, it will be useless wherever you go. There are good bows, but I'm afraid you can't pull them."
Lin Li was not angry, but raised his eyebrows, "Oh, so to speak, your store has strong bows. Show them to me. I want to see what kind of bow can make you so confident."
The store manager waved his sleeves and seemed extremely angry, "The Wei family has been making bows for hundreds of years, but some people say that the Wei family's bows are not good. I can't swallow this breath. Everyone, please don't leave. I will take the bows from our store."
Come on, let this guy stop and apologize."
Lin Li and Cui Ying looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
After a while, the store manager went downstairs with a bang. He was really exhausted from climbing from the first floor to the third floor and then running down again in such a short period of time.
"This is the treasure of our store, the White Bone Rainbow Bow. The bow body is the rib of an unknown monster that the family occasionally obtained. The bow string is the sinew of the Great Golden Elixir Python. It was purchased at a large price. It was bought in Jiaotang
It is soaked in water for more than three years and made. Even if the bow is fired thousands of times, the power of the bow will not weaken at all. Unlike the bows hanging on the wall, although they are good bows, they will not be weakened even if they are fired thousands of times.
After that, the power of the bow gradually weakened, and finally became useless."
The shop steward held a big bow in his hand, which was as tall as a person. It was heavy and cost him most of his energy. The bow was as white as bone, and the bowstring was a bright yellow string like gelatinous amber, as thick as a finger. He
Putting the bow into Lin Li's hand, "No one can draw this bow. The bow strength is at least three thousand kilograms. You should draw it and take a look. If you can't draw it, apologize in public and clear the name of the Wei family."
This bow was not made for people to pull at all. It was just made of fine materials and made for decoration. Because no one can pull this strong bow. You must know that the strength of the whole body is one thing, and the strength of the arms is one thing.
Strength is another thing. A person with five thousand strength is good if he can draw a bow with three thousand strength.
When the store manager said this, there was a burst of exclamation from the surrounding people, and then he looked at Lin Li with malicious eyes, waiting to see Lin Li make a fool of himself.
Lin Li was not afraid of the stage. He stretched out a hand and took the bow. He found that it weighed more than eighty kilograms. He stretched out a finger and pressed the bow string. It turned out to be extremely tough. Because it was stretched too close, it seemed to have no elasticity.
.
"A bow of three thousand pounds would be better if it doesn't capsize in the gutter."
Lin Li didn't expect such a strong bow. He took a breath, held the bow, and silently recited the archery method he saw in the book. "A righteous heart, a heart with no evil thoughts, and no distracting thoughts. Sincerity, the intention is the target first, and the thoughts are always there."
Internally and externally. Maintaining the spirit: moving still and calming down, eliminating noise. Great concentration: calming the mind and calming down, even if you are shooting at each other on the battlefield, your face will not change."
After reciting these thoughts silently, Lin Li felt calm and relaxed.
At the same time, the thumbs of his feet are pushing outward, the little fingers are grasping, the knees are outward, the buttocks are sucking in, the waist is hidden, the chest is exposed, the navel is facing the ground, and the heart is relaxed.
He still didn't use a ring to protect his fingers. But any ring was useless for pulling such a strong bow. No matter how tough it was, it would be crushed. A bow weighing over a thousand pounds was not for pulling at all, but for decoration.
