The one-eyed lecturer in black robe walked and took out two small black cloth bags from his sleeves and handed them to Lin Xi and Bian Linghan respectively.
Lin Xi and Bian Linghan opened the black cloth bag and found two leather finger cots inside. They were light gold in color and the leather was thick and soft.
"The three-finger holding feather control method means to use the thumb, middle finger, and index finger to fix the tail feather of the arrow, and only use the ring finger and little finger to pull the bow and control the string." The one-eyed black-robed lecturer did not give the two people a chance to ask questions, and slowly
Walking among the picturesque rainbow terraces, he said slowly: "Holding the feather with three fingers can maintain the stability of the arrow when it is shot. And for a powerful archer, the three fingers plus the tip of the arrow are extremely amazing."
Generally speaking, top-level archers who practice this feather-holding method can shoot the most accurately among all archers. However, with this feather-holding method, they can only use the other two fingers to pull the string.
String, so in order to minimize the damage to the other two fingers, you must use these two finger cots before you have a level of cultivation above a national scholar."
Lin Xi put on two light golden finger cots on the ring finger and little finger of her right hand.
The finger cot was light and soft, but there seemed to be an invisible suction force inside, softly and tightly fitting onto his fingers.
The one-eyed black-robed lecturer who was leading the way turned slightly sideways, looked at Lin Xi and said: "This is made of the second layer of skin on the neck of the lightning python. It is not widely used in the academy, so you should not show it to others."
Lin Xi nodded, and imagined in her mind the posture of holding a bow in her left hand and holding an arrow in her right hand to control the string, but she frowned: "Teacher, this posture seems very awkward when holding an arrow to draw the bow."
"The most convenient method is to hold the bow with four fingers and clamp the arrow. However, the tail feather is caught in the fingers that are pulling the string at the same time. It cannot be used like the three-finger feather control method. The subtle movements of the three fingers are used to eliminate the bow string when the arrow is shot.
As for the tremor at the back of the arrow, we can only use it for shooting speed." The one-eyed black-robed lecturer's tone naturally brought an indescribable pride: "Windrunner's arrows are never used to kill dogs.
It is used to deal with strong people, so what you have to do is to refine it into smoothness, until holding a bow and shooting an arrow is as natural as walking in the wind."
"Yes." When it came to Bian Linghan's future life, Lin Xi stopped talking nonsense and just nodded quietly among the rainbow fields.
The expressions of Lin Xi and Bian Linghan made the one-eyed black-robed lecturer somewhat satisfied, and their voices became slightly softer: "In the next few days, I will teach you the skills and methods of archery, but you must remember that the archer is the most important.
The key is to be calm and patient. The slightest psychological fluctuation will cause slight deviations, and the slightest impatience will affect your ability to control strings and feathers."
Lin Xi and Bian Linghan nodded solemnly again.
"You probably don't know that I don't give up on you not only because you are the chosen one, but also because of your innate peace and calmness."
The one-eyed black-robed lecturer withdrew his gaze from Lin Xi and stopped talking, but he thought so in his heart.
Lin Xi had no idea that the character shaped by her unique experience would be so valuable in the eyes of this one-eyed black-robed lecturer.
He followed the one-eyed black-robed lecturer through the bamboo building.
In an open space among the trees behind the bamboo house, there is a shelf with three identical black long bows on it. The bow body is made of hardwood, and the bowstring is made of some kind of animal twisted tendon, but there are no talismans. The three black long bows
Next to the bow, there were at least twenty quivers, filled with densely packed arrows, like neat bundles of rice that had just been harvested from the fields.
"Look how I do it."
The lecturer in the one-eyed black robe didn't say any nonsense. He held the bow, pulled the string, and released the arrow in front of Lin Xi and Bian Linghan. The postures that Lin Xi had originally imagined were very awkward, but it turned out to be as natural as flowing clouds and flowing water. The one-eyed black robe
Every movement of the lecturer gives people an indescribable rhythm and beauty.
"Swiftly", the black arrow shot out like a meteor, hitting the target a hundred steps away with great stability.
"Shu"! "Shu"! "Shu!" "Shu!"…..
The one-eyed lecturer in black robe did not stop, a fierce aura emanated from his body, combined with his light and beautiful posture. Lin Xi and Bian Linghan were stunned to see each arrow hitting one.
Bullseyes, the bullseyes of more than a dozen arrow targets hanging in the forest, just in the blink of an eye, a black arrow was inserted into each one.
"Pick up the bow and see how I hold it."
The one-eyed black-robed lecturer stopped and asked Lin Xi and Bian Linghan to each pick up a bow and an arrow. In front of Lin Xi and Bian Linghan, they slowly performed the act of holding the arrow and pulling the string, just like a slow-motion replay.
Action, just don't shoot the arrow.
He didn't say anything more, he just did it over and over again very slowly.
Lin Xi and Bian Linghan looked at it with solemnity, and then full of respect. After a few pauses, a very quiet and harmonious scene formed in the forest clearing: the one-eyed black-robed lecturer was in the middle, Lin Xi and Bian Linghan were in the middle.
On both sides, the three people were holding the bow, nodding the arrow, and controlling the string very slowly.
The one-eyed black-robed lecturer paused occasionally to help Lin Xi and Bian Linghan correct their postures.
…
If the posture is upright, the bow will be straight and the arrow will be upright.
This three-finger feather-holding string control method does not have any shortcuts at the beginning. It is purely about holding and firing the bow over and over again to hone the most correct posture.
However, this bow is real, and so are the arrows. Although it is just the most ordinary black lacquered hardwood bow, and after directly entering the ranks of practitioners because of the Mingzhen Pill on the first day of the training class, Lin Xi has already felt that he
My strength increased greatly, but it was not easy to pull the string with only my ring finger and little finger every time I fired the bow.
But what made Lin Xi find it novel and interesting was that after he fired the bow more than twenty times in a row and his fingers and arms just started to feel sore, the thin stream of air in his dantian brought out the slightest warmth.
It can slightly relieve some of the soreness between his fingers and arms. And every time it relieves some of the soreness between his fingers and arms, the thin stream of air seems to be slightly lessened.
After firing the bow hundreds of times in this way, the thin stream of air in his dantian was finally completely exhausted, and his two arms, especially the right arm that held the feather and controlled the string, began to feel extremely sore.
"Okay, that's it for today."
But when he could persist for a while, the one-eyed black-robed lecturer stopped him and Bian Linghan, took out two bottles of medicated oil, handed them to the two of them, and said: "When you go back, take care of the soreness."
Apply a layer everywhere and knead carefully for three pauses."
"Instructor Mu Qing has placed the same bows and arrows as here in your respective rooms. If you have recovered after you go back, you can figure out the practice on your own. If you have any thoughts and questions about today's practice, you can ask me now."
After two bottles of unusual medicinal oil were handed to Lin Xi and Bian Linghan, the one-eyed black-robed lecturer ordered the two to put down their bows and arrows, and left the empty two people the same way they came, still walking slowly and slowly.
said.
Lin Xi was suddenly surprised and said: "Teacher, didn't you say that you are not allowed to enter other people's rooms in the academy?"
"Don't ask such stupid questions in the future." The one-eyed black-robed lecturer suddenly had the urge to slap Lin Xi. He looked at this practice angrily and became more and more satisfied with it, but when he asked questions, he became more and more annoyed.
The boy said in a deep voice: "Professor Mu Qing represents the college... You have to remember that you are in the college, and the room has no influence on the college!"
"Okay." Lin Xi rolled her eyes helplessly, then became serious again. She looked at the one-eyed black-robed lecturer in front of her and asked, "Does it consume some soul power every time you shoot an arrow?"
The one-eyed black-robed lecturer nodded: "Soul power can relieve some physical fatigue. You are now considered a practitioner, so even if it is not archery, as long as you do strenuous exercise, your soul power will naturally be consumed slowly."
"Then if the soul power is not exhausted, the body will be able to withstand it and be able to shoot arrows?" Lin Xi took off the two finger gloves she was wearing with a lot of effort and rubbed her two sore fingers.
, asked.
"Of course this is not possible." The one-eyed black-robed lecturer looked at Lin Xi and said: "Soul power can only relieve part of the physical fatigue, but it cannot completely relieve it. To give the simplest example, on the battlefield, even if you still have most of your soul
Your strength has not been exhausted, but if someone pierces your chest with an arrow, you will naturally be unable to continue fighting. But for us practitioners, the more we practice and the higher our cultivation level, the stronger our bodies will be. For example, this
With a bow of this level, I might feel tired after shooting a thousand arrows in a row, and my body will slowly begin to lose support, but when you are actually fighting, you may not be able to sustain it even if you shoot a hundred arrows in quick succession."
The one-eyed black-robed lecturer explained the truth very clearly, and it was not difficult for Lin Xi to understand. Carefully feeling the fatigue of both arms, Lin Xi muttered: "Teacher Tong, I am used to holding the bow in my left hand and the feather controller in my right hand.
So I feel that my right hand can exert much greater force. For example, right now, I just feel that my right hand can’t support it, and I can’t pull the string with my two fingers. Is it possible that when I feel that my right hand can’t support it, I can switch to my right hand to hold the bow.
, holding the feather in the left hand to control the string? If you open the bow from left to right like this, wouldn't it be possible to shoot more arrows?"
"You can't even walk, but you want to flip upside down in the air?" The one-eyed black-robed lecturer sneered heavily, looked at Lin Xi mercilessly and scolded: "I advise you to give up this idea, regardless of practicing more.
It will take twice as long to hold the bow in one way, and since your qualification is level 2, your soul power cultivation speed is naturally slower than others. When the time comes for you to use the soul weapon, just using one way to hold the bow, the soul power may
There won’t be enough of either, let alone two.”
Lin Xi raised her brows slightly and muttered unconvinced in her heart: Teacher Tong, you are actually wrong. Although my qualifications are only second, Dean Zhang at least made it very clear on this point that your body is just a
Bowl, but our body is two bowls... Therefore, my total soul power is twice that of people of the same level.
But when he thought that Dean Zhang, who came from the same place as him, had spent so many words telling himself to keep a low profile and tell the world that practitioners were not invincible, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xi's mouth. He decided
To keep a low profile... Then a name immediately appeared in his mind: Jing Wuming.
…..
"Teacher, another question suddenly occurred to me... What kind of cultivation is required to cross the Dengtian Mountains and reach the ice field behind the Dengtian Mountains?"
"At least you must be at the Saint Master level. At the heights of the Climbing Mountains, it is almost impossible to breathe. Every step consumes an astonishing amount of energy and soul power."
Under the setting sun, in the valley where the terraces look like rainbows, a black-robed lecturer and two young students who kept eating were walking slowly.
