Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 123: The Condor Hero, the Fourth Level of Generals

Outside Chang'an City, in the endless blue sky, several black shadows passed by, and they were all black eagles fighting against the sky.

However, these black eagles, who usually only need to flap their wings to fly, and are like the masters of the sky, are in an unprecedented panic at this moment. They are shouting in a panic. They don't look like hunting and showing off their majestic black eagles, but more like they are panicking. quail.

Suddenly, a rapid sound broke through the air.

A black arrow came from below like lightning, with black light across the sky. The black eagle was frightened and fluttered its wings quickly, but could not escape at all. It was shot through the body by the black arrow, but the black arrow still failed to catch up, one after another. Only after shooting down three large eagles did he fall.

At the foot of the mountain, Ji Ren was pulling a long bow, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Kill three birds with one stone and achieve it.

Not far away, Duke Su Guo saw this scene and stroked his long beard with joy.

He fulfilled his promise and taught Jiren archery skills.

He was originally just out of gratitude to Ji Ren and returned the favor, but after teaching him seriously, Ji Ren's talent completely exceeded his expectations.

Every archer who wants to become a marksman must first have a vision far beyond that of ordinary people. Just like the old marksman Ji Chang who learned to shoot for three years, he had lice in his eyes as big as wheels. Secondly, he must have power far beyond that of ordinary people. Without divine power, It is impossible to draw a strong bow at all, just like Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici who were good at archery during the Three Kingdoms. If you did not shoot against them but fought in close combat, your death would be even worse.

Ji Ren perfectly meets these two requirements.

With a pair of eyes sharper than a falcon, Su Guogong boasted that his eyesight was unrivaled among all the others, and that he could rule the roost among the six kingdoms. However, he felt that his eyes might not be able to see as far or as well as Ji Ren.

As for strength, Ji Ren's strength was completely unreasonable. The strength of a Haoyue general actually exceeded that of an ordinary earth prince.

At first, Duke Su only wanted to spend a month polishing Ji Ren's foundation.

As a result, Ji Ren completed all the goals he set for Ji Ren in less than seven days.

This is still the premise that Ji Ren needs to polish the foundation and not seek speed.

To Duke Su's surprise, he kept changing his training plan. First, it was a fixed target with a distance that was continuously extended, then it was a mobile target that moved at will, then it was hunting animals, and now it was shooting birds.

To be honest, design planning is quite tiring, especially when each plan is forced to end early.

Duke Su had never thought that a new archer could push him to this point, but he was very happy.

A seedling kept growing in his hands, and finally grew into a giant tree. Such a sense of accomplishment is beyond description in words.

"Wow~ Captain, he actually shot three."

Beside Duke Su, Zhang Gan, who was also shooting arrows, exclaimed in amazement.

In the secret test, according to Ji Ren's idea, he practiced hiding things from the outside world, hiding in the mountains with a large army so that no one could detect him, and then leading the team to shoot from a distance.

I can cum into you, but you can't see me, let alone hurt me.

So with the consent of Duke Su, the entire team came.

Duke Su did not refuse. He was not afraid of Ji Ren's request, but he was afraid that Ji Ren would not make the request, which would make him feel guilty.

And compared to Ji Ren, it was too easy to teach Zhang Gan and a group of people. He just had to let them shoot at a fixed target.

"Yes, he has already shot three birds with one arrow. You can't even shoot at a fixed target. Practice more. You won't be allowed to rest until you finish shooting 300 arrows today." Su Guogong looked at Zhang Gan with a cold face.

"what?"

Zhang Gan immediately drooped his face, as if he were mourning for his heir.

"Ah what? Know your shame and then be brave. You haven't practiced yet. Try to catch up with Ji Ren as soon as possible."

Next to Zhang Gan, a beautiful woman in a red outfit was also shooting arrows. She had a pretty face and a tall figure. The most eye-catching thing was her pair of slender and attractive long legs. She was Guan Yan.

Because it was a rare opportunity, he came with Qiao Qingyin to learn archery. Now that he heard Zhang Gan's words, the heroic Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly. Although they were touching, a sense of majesty arose spontaneously.

Zhang Gan trembled with fright and secretly cursed in his heart, chasing after Ji Ren? I think, when we first met, I wanted to knock him down and make him follow me and call me captain. Now, it would be nice for me to have the opportunity in this life to follow him all the time, call him captain, and not let him throw me off.

I am a human and the captain is a monster. Can we compare?

However, due to Guan Yan's majesty, Zhang Gan only dared to curse in his heart and did not dare to say a word "no".

Ji Ren had no idea that he had become a monster in Zhang Gan's heart. Otherwise, he would have been beaten. At this moment, he was immersed in archery. Draw a strong bow and shoot a long arrow.

The spirit, energy, and spirit were perfectly integrated into the long arrow. Ji Ren's whole body was buzzing with spirit energy, which was exactly in line with the beating rhythm of his heart. He seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth.

Heaven and man are one.

These days, he has been practicing archery, but he has not given up practicing.

And as he continued to shoot arrows, his understanding of the Dharma also continued to improve.

Erlang Shen is a serious hunting god, so Yang Jian naturally has long-range shooting weapons in addition to hounds for chasing prey and black eagles for warning. However, unlike ordinary bows and arrows, he uses a slingshot.

Of course, it is not a modern slingshot, but an ancient slingshot, which is almost two completely different things from the current slingshot.

The ancient slingshot is roughly the same as the ordinary longbow. It can be said to be the predecessor of the bow and arrow, except that the middle of the bowstring will be modified to facilitate shooting of silver bullets. In the early days, the same bow could shoot projectiles by hanging the slingshot string, and it could shoot arrows by stringing it.

The main ones are arrows in ancient times, which are expensive to make and inconvenient to carry too many at one time. Projectiles are just the opposite. They are cheap, easy to obtain, and low in price. Therefore, in the early days, projectiles were used to hunt and frighten enemy invaders, and expensive bows and arrows were used to shoot. Kill the enemy soldiers.

According to historical records, Ban Chao, who was on an envoy to the Western Regions, carried a slingshot with his thirty-six generals.

Just because it was not as powerful as the bow and arrow, it gradually disappeared from the stage of history in the later period. Instead, it appeared in popular martial arts novels and was called the best hidden weapon.

It is worth mentioning that the representative figure of this weapon is Erlang Shen.

I've beaten a phoenix and shot a nine-headed insect in the head.

The versatile Erlang Shen.

As for why Jiren is shooting arrows now instead of using projectiles.

That's naturally because the projectiles are not powerful enough.

After he enters the sun, there will be no difference between bows, arrows and projectiles. When he enters the earth, ordinary bows, arrows and projectiles will not be of any help to him. He can simply stretch out his hand to draw the bow, activate the spiritual energy, and condense it into an arrow.

At this moment, Ji Ren's whole body was roaring with energy and blood, and his whole body was like a blazing oven, melting all things.

After a long time, Ji Ren suddenly loosened the bowstring, and the long arrow suddenly shot out, turning into a black light and shooting into the sky. A terrifying storm swept across the sky. The only three black eagles left in the sky did not even have time to panic, and they were in the sky. The arrow turned into flying ash under the sharp edge.

After shooting three large eagles, the long arrow flew upwards with undiminished power, like shooting at the sun, turning into a white rainbow that cut through the sky, and finally exploded with a loud noise and turned into flying ash.

And Ji Ren's body's energy and blood roared, his muscles and bones roared, and his breath exploded. His cultivation level unknowingly rose to another level, reaching the fifth level of general.

The rest of the people looked sideways, dumbfounded.

"Another breakthrough?" Zhang Gan exclaimed. Once upon a time, everyone had similar cultivation levels.

"That's right." Mi Liang said calmly, getting used to it came naturally. He thought that his realm was higher than Ji Ren's before. What was the result?

Isn't it just another breakthrough?

Wasn't it just a matter of months that he could do what it took him several years to do?
  normal.

"But it only takes a month for him to break through to the Haoyue level." Chunyu Shan said. He felt that his talent was quite good, but he was dragged down by the reputation of his ancestors. As a result, Ji Ren's speed was unreasonable for him.

"Then what?" Mi Liang said coldly.

Chunyu Shan opened his mouth but was speechless.

Guan Yan, who was also immersed in archery, had a dumbfounded expression on her face. She had been confused before as to why Qiao Qingyin's practice had reached such a hard level recently, practicing day and night. As Qiao Qingyin's best friend, she had been It is clear that although Qiao Qingyin is not a waste of her talent, her training is not hard. She is a typical talented monk, but the frequency of her practice recently is completely different. To be honest, she has been involved.

But now, she suddenly no longer had any doubts.

One month at a time, who is not panicking?
  The combat power has been surpassed. If the realm is surpassed again, it would be strange for Qiao Qingyin to accept it.

Hey, wait a minute, Qingyin's realm seems to be about to surpass hers.

Thinking of this, Guan Yan couldn't help but sigh at Ji Ren's training speed and hurriedly practiced.
