Chapter 019 Asking God

A sentence suddenly popped up in Liang Xiao's mind: Walk, sit and lie down, and keep your body away from your bow.

When he first heard Huan Jun’s words, Liang Xiao did not feel much touched. He just thought that Huan Jun asked to practice diligently and not to slack off for a moment. It was not until then that he felt the faint but very real sense of power in his body that he truly understood the meaning of this sentence.

Liang Xiao was very excited, but he did not indulge in excitement. He knew that this was an opportunity, and knowing how to seize this opportunity was more useful than rushing practice.

It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. Mastering learning methods is more important than learning specific knowledge.

Liang Xiao sat down, started from scratch, and carefully pondered the process of practicing the bow drawing.

Huan Jun took his bow and asked him to practice drawing with his hands for a hundred days.

Practice day after day, carefully experience the subtle changes in each movement, imitate Huan Jun's bow-drawing movement as much as possible until the movement is proficient and natural, and flows through the flow.

Practice in the dark, focus on your mind and devote yourself to it until your waist is slightly hot and your strength is fulfilled.

But where is the target? Since it is archery, why did Huan Jun never mention the target? He asked him to practice the archery movements, but did not let him aim at a target.

Without a target, practice in the dark. Liang Xiao thought for a long time until he linked these two things together that he suddenly realized.

The purpose of training in this step should be to correct the body and mind. The purpose of the body is to correct the movements, and the purpose of the mind is to train attention. Archery is a movement that requires high concentration of attention. The goal is at least a few dozen steps away, or even a hundred steps away. A slight difference or a thousand miles away. If you cannot concentrate highly, how can you hit the target?

Without a target, you do not want to cause interference before the movement is formed. Practicing in the dark will suppress the effect of vision to the lowest level and focus to the maximum extent, so you can pay attention to the subtle changes in the body. If there is a scene in front of you, even if he is very attentive, he may miss this detail.

After thinking through this, Liang Xiao had a direction. He stood up again and continued to practice according to his experience just now. He was just spontaneous, but now he was conscious. He practiced the movement of opening the bow over and over again, feeling the subtle changes on his waist and back. With these changes as standard, his understanding of the movement of opening the bow is deeper.

Liang Xiao practiced again and again until a ray of sunlight shone through the crack of the door and shone on his feet.

Liang Xiao stopped practicing, his whole body was warm, he was a little sweaty, but his breath became deeper and longer. Even Mama Liang noticed this. During breakfast, Mama Liang looked at Liang Xiao a few times.

"What's wrong?" Liang Xiao drank rice porridge in big mouthfuls, and asked, "Does there be flowers on my face?"

"There is no flowers, but your eyes are bright and you look very energetic. Xiaoer, you will definitely win today."

Liang Xiao then remembered that he had to duel with Hu Lai today, and Tu Niuer and two friends dug holes in Jinkui Mountain for a night, but never came back. He thought for a while, poured the last two bites of porridge into his mouth, picked up his small crossbow, turned around and went out.

"Xiao'er, wait." Mama Liang chased out and stuffed a tied live chicken into Liang Xiao's hand. "When you pass by the social tree, sacrifice to the social gods and bless you to win the flag."

"Sacrifice to the God of the Society?" Liang Xiao held the chicken and felt a little hesitant. He never expected the God of the Society to bless him, but he felt sorry for these chickens. Since he had been sick, several chickens at home have delivered and eaten, and only the last one left. Is it necessary to give them to the God of the Society?

"Go quickly, don't be too slow! Forget it, I'll go by myself, you can go there."

Seeing Liang Xiao hesitating, Liang Maggie didn't expect him anymore. She turned around and picked up the prepared wine, carried the chicken, and went out to go straight to the community tree. Liang Xiao followed behind, looking at my mother's hot appearance, and her nose felt sore. No matter how generous or independent she was, she was a little in control at this time, so she had to pray to God and worship Buddha.

Oh, by the way, there is no Buddha at this time.

When he arrived at the club tree, Mama Liang placed the chicken in front of the club, poured wine, put his palms together, bowed twice, muttered something, and then lay on the ground and kowtowed a few times. Seeing Liang Xiao standing aside, she pulled Liang Xiao over and kowtowed. Although Liang Xiao was reluctant, she still knelt down and bowed a few times, and happened to hear my mother's curse.

"The soldiers' lord Chiyou, the Queen Mother of the East, the Queen Mother of the West, the Taiyi of the East, the Grand Secretary..." After a series of gods, Madam Liang solemnly swore. "My son Liang Xiao duels with someone, please bless all the gods. If you can return safely, you must have a pig and dog and a bucket of wine. If you make any mistakes, you will destroy the temple and cut off your fireworks..."

Liang Xiao's scalp was numb when he heard this, and he quickly pulled my mother's sleeve. "Mother, this... isn't good, the gods will be unhappy when they hear it."

Mama Liang disagreed. "A Xiao, you are still young and don't understand. Gods are also hard-working but not soft-hearted. It is not enough to just please. You have to explain the pros and cons clearly so that they will help. Otherwise, they will ignore you like those clerks."

Liang Xiao was sweating profusely. The Han people's thinking was indeed different from that of future generations. They not only had to discuss conditions with gods, but even dared to threaten gods.

"Aunt Liang, what are you doing?" Tu Huaer walked out of the yard and happened to see this scene. She raised her arms and greeted her. "Did you beg for A Xiao's wife? Whose woman do you like?"

"Huaer, so early." Mama Liang stood up and patted the soil on her knees. "No, Liang Xiao wants to duel with others, I'll ask the God of Society for blessing."

"That's right. By the way, A Xiao, did you see my brother? He didn't come back all night and didn't know where he died."

Liang Xiao rolled his eyes. "Sister Hua, Niu'er is fine. He saw a new grave yesterday and planned to dig it out and prepare some dowry for you."

"Bah! A Xiao, you are a heartless person. When you marry a wife, do you hope your wife will use dead things to make a dowry?" Tu Huaer cursed, and fucked the broom in her hand and rushed over with great momentum.

When Liang Xiao saw that the situation was not good, he ran away. Liang Mama was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed Tu Huaer with a hand and said with a smile: "Huaer, I see that you have joy between your eyebrows. This is a sign that the joy is approaching."

"Is that true?" Tu Huaer immediately became shy, threw Liang Xiao aside, and said shyly: "Aunt Liang, when did you learn to look at your face? Have you heard any wind?"

"Then it goes without saying that Huaer is such a capable woman, I don't know how many families are rushing to marry her."

"Oh--" Tu Huaer sighed faintly. "What's the use of being able to do it? Nowadays, people are very snobbish and don't have a dowry, but they don't like it. Now, my mother finally negotiated with the Hu family about selling land, but after being tossed by my brother's silly boy, it turned yellow again."

"Your brother is extraordinary now." Mama Liang held Tu Huaer's hand and said mysteriously: "I heard from A Xiao that he had been a very skilled master. In the future, he has mastered martial arts, made merits in the army, and received titles and fields. Can he forget you, sister?"

Tu Huaer turned anger into joy. "Are you serious?"
