Poor Family 1

  Chapter 441 Qian Luo Liu Jing

Li Yanqing didn't expect that the other party would give him a precious bow worth 1,800 taels of silver. He was really embarrassed, and he quickly bowed and said, "Senior Li Yanqing appreciates the kindness of the senior. It's better for this bow to be bought by yourself. .”

  Cao Ping narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Do you want me to give you Shekun? I can't bear it."

  Li Yanqing had no choice but to salute again, "Thank you senior for giving me the bow, this junior will remember it in my heart."

  At this time, the young man following Gao Shen gently pulled the corner of Gao Shen's clothes, reminding him: "Uncle."

  Gao Shen laughed, and introduced to Li Yanqing: "This young man is my nephew Gao Chong, is Yanqing interested in getting to know him?"

  Li Yanqing was taken aback. Is it that Gao Chong with excellent marksmanship? He looked at Gao Chong, and saw that he was about the same age as himself, fair-skinned, tall and majestic, with a very heroic appearance, but he seemed a little shy, and he hurried forward to salute, "I have long admired Gao Xiandi for his superb marksmanship. I hope you can give me more advice in the future." .”

  Gao Chong smiled shyly, and hurriedly bowed back, "I am the one who has admired Li Tanhua for a long time."

   Gao Shen glanced at Li Yanqing a little strangely. Although his nephew is very good at marksmanship, he never communicated with outsiders. How could Li Yanqing know?

At this time, Shopkeeper Hu had already stringed the bow for the wind-chasing bow and handed it to the old proprietor. Cao Ping looked at the bow and sighed: "This bow was collected after it was made. The original owner's family fell into ruin two years ago." , A batch of collected weapons is put on consignment with me, and this bow has not met a new owner until today, which is also its fate."

  He handed the bow to Li Yanqing. When he took the bow, the familiar feeling was like that of his wife who had been with him in the past.

  Cao Ping smiled and said: "The rain outside has stopped, let's go to the back to try the bow, and enjoy Li Tanhua's absolute shot by the way."

  The rain has stopped, and the air is wet, which is not conducive to archery, but for the masters, the impact of the weather is nothing.

There is a long and narrow yard behind the store, which is a weapons testing ground. Of course, only members can use it. Gao Chong followed behind, feeling very excited. He happened to be away from the capital during the bow and horse competition that year, and missed Li Yanqing's wonderful archery. Today, he finally Given the opportunity, he is also extremely looking forward to seeing Li Yanqing's superb archery skills.

   "It's a pity that there are only thirty steps, so let's play tricks!"

Cao Ping is the master, of course he is the master. He hung a copper coin on a willow tree with a hemp rope, hidden among the dense willow branches. His face suddenly became serious, and he said to Li Yanqing: "My great-grandfather also The same archery skills are superb, his most proud move is called "Qian Luo Liu Jing", he shoots the money down thirty steps away, but the willow branches cannot move, so he is named "General Liu Jing", but unfortunately the descendants of the Cao family are not good enough, No one can match the ancestors, if Li Tanhua can do it today, then I will give you the Shekun bow."

Cao Ping's great-grandfather was the founding hero Cao Bin, who is famous for his superb archery skills. Li Yanqing was named the best arrow in the world by the emperor Zhao Ji. Cao Ping was somewhat unconvinced. He found this opportunity today to try it out. Li Yanqing's arrow technique.

  Beside Gao Shen understood Cao Ping's thoughts in his heart, and he also laughed, "Then I will be a witness! In case Brother Cao is reluctant to part with the bow in the end."

   "Will I be reluctant to shoot the bow? Brother Gao Xian underestimates me too much!"

Cao Ping couldn't hide his excitement, he simply took off the sword around his waist, "This seven-star sword is one of my most beloved three treasured swords, if Li Tanhua's archery skills can match my ancestors, this sword will also be given as a gift .”

  Li Yanqing already understood Cao Ping's intentions, he was fighting for his ancestors! Zhao Ji named him the number one arrow in the world back then, but he didn't take this title seriously, but it doesn't mean that others don't care if he doesn't care.

  Li Yanqing felt very embarrassed, he looked at Gao Shen, Gao Shen nodded slightly, meaning to let him shoot the arrow.

  Li Yanqing had to force a smile, and commented on Cao: "Senior, can you let Yanqing try the new bow first?"

"sure!"

  Li Yanqing drew out a feathered arrow, pulled the bow abruptly, and shot with his fingers, but this arrow shot at a thin bamboo pole next to him, only to hear 'click! ’ With a sound, the bamboo pole snapped.

   "Good arrow skills!" Gao Chong couldn't help but praise.

Today he followed his uncle to Lianggong Sword Shop to buy a sword, unexpectedly he met Li Yanqing, Gao Chong practiced the marksmanship of his ancestor Gao Huaide, a dragon golden spear made him superb, but his arrows skills were mediocre, which made him very interested Li Yanqing admired him very much.

In Li Yanqing's heart, he loved this bow very much. Although the leopard head bow was not bad, it was a bit soft, and he had to rely on the strength of his arms to accelerate it. However, this bow was very strong, and the bow itself could exert a great initial force on the arrow. The speed allows him to achieve fast and strong without much effort, and the speed is faster and the strength is greater.

  If it is said that he can draw the leopard head bow twenty times in one breath, but with the Zhang Zhuifeng bow, he can easily draw thirty times without sore arms.

   More importantly, he has an excellent hand feeling, which enables him to create better results.

  Li Yanqing nodded to Cao Ping, "I'm starting!"

He took another careful look at the copper coins in the willow branches. He could shoot out the incense burner eighty paces away at night, and break a hemp rope thirty paces away. Although it is difficult, it is not impossible to do it, but you need to look at the angle, and it is indeed possible to pass through the forest.

But there are still two difficulties to deal with. One is to prevent the arrow from changing direction after shooting the rope, and the second is to prevent the rope from being cut instead of being cut. If it is the latter, it is easy to let the coins swing , so as to touch the willow branch next to it.

Li Yanqing had a similar training when practicing copper bows and iron arrows. Among the densely packed incense, he shot off one of the incense sticks, but could not touch the other incense sticks. The teacups below, these are the courses that Zhou Tong once trained him, and they are similar to today's Qian Luoliujing.

Li Yanqing took a deep breath, stared at the copper coins for a long time, and pulled his bow abruptly. His wind chasing bow is a riding bow, and he cannot aim calmly like a step bow. When the arrow was shot, the speed of the arrow was too fast, and there was a flash of cold light, and the copper coin fell to the ground with a clatter, the arrow disappeared without a trace, but the willow branch remained motionless.

  Cao Ping was stunned for a moment, he didn't see clearly at all. At this moment, Gao Chong ran over, pulled out the arrow from the opposite wall, and shouted: "The arrow is nailed to the wall."

  Gao Shen applauded, "Brilliant, good archery!"

Cao Ping walked forward slowly and picked up the copper coins from the boulder. The hemp rope was cut neatly one inch above the copper coins. This required a lot of strength and speed, so that the rope lost its toughness and was cut directly. His great-grandfather Cao Bin passed it down in his family. It is also recorded in "Hundred Records of Archery Skills" that the key to Qian Luoliujing is to shoot the rope one or two inches above the copper coin. The speed must be fast and the force must be strong, so that the copper coin is not easy to hang.

  Of course Li Yanqing has never read his great-grandfather's "Hundred Records of Archery Skills", but he also understands this principle. This arrow convinced Cao Ping.

   "Excellent arrow skills, Li Tanhua deserves to be the best arrow in the world!"

  Li Yanqing bowed and gave a long salute, "The junior got it by luck, and made the senior laugh!"

  Cao Ping nodded, and told shopkeeper Hu: "Go and get the Shekun bow."

  Li Yanqing quickly waved his hand, "The younger generation is already satisfied with chasing the wind, and shooting Kun bows is only suitable for collection, and is of little use to the younger generation. Senior's kindness Yanqing appreciates it."

  Cao Ping said lightly: "I really can't think of anyone who is more qualified to get the archery bow than my nephew. If I tell his origin, I believe my nephew will not refuse."

   "The younger generation is willing to listen!"

   "This bow was made for Di Qing in the fifth year of Emperor You's reign. Duan Xiaoyu, the first bow maker, made it specially for Di Qing. Do you know what happened on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of that year?"

   "Di Qing attacked Kunlun Pass at night!" Li Yanqing blurted out.

Cao Ping nodded, "So this bow was named Shekun, which means bravely shooting Kunlun. It took Duan Xiaoyu four years to complete this bow. Di Qing liked the bow very much and hung it in his study. He died of illness, and this bow was passed on to his eldest son, Di Zi. Ten years ago, the Di family bought a house in the capital. In order to raise money, they sold a batch of ancestral weapons to Liang Workshop, including this bow. Kun Gong, and my Seven Star Sword."

  Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said: "I accept the bow, but this seven-star sword is the saber of the senior, the junior really dare not accept it."

  Gao Shen laughed beside him and said, "Your nephew don't want to give it to me, he has a lot of weapons in his collection! There is no shortage of this sword."

  Cao Ping glared at him, "This is one of my most beloved three swords. If I hadn't underestimated Li Tanhua's archery skills, I would have taken out this sword?"

  Li Yanqing hurriedly returned the sword to him, "Since it is the beloved of the senior, the junior dare not take it."

Cao Ping also took off the saber in a fever. Since Li Yanqing refused again and again, he just happened to go down this step. Cao Ping had a good impression of Li Yanqing. Divine skill, I want to set up a banquet to celebrate, are you free in Yanqing tomorrow?"

   "The junior's official position may come down tomorrow, and the junior dare not leave."

   "Okay! The day after tomorrow afternoon, I will treat you to guests, so Yanqing must give you face."

  Li Yanqing nodded, "This junior must come!"

  Cao Ping was full of interest, and smiled at Gao Shen: "Of course my brother will come to accompany me, and my nephew will come too. I also want to see Qilang's marksmanship. I will give Qilang a good sword then."

  Gao Shen laughed, "Since there is a good sword as a gift, how can I not come?"
