Chapter 12 Learning Arts

Seeing that Yunyao was born with divine power, Ji She happily agreed to teach her archery skills. Although strength is not an inevitable condition for superb archery skills, it is impossible to become a good archer without strength, so strength is one of the many indispensable conditions.

Ji Jiang asked Yunyao to stay for dinner, and if he wanted, he could even stay because it was almost dark after dinner.

"Just stay for dinner and stay for one night. I will send you back tomorrow morning and start teaching." Jishe said, "I know you are a boatman at the ferry and cannot leave the ferry, so you don't need me. I will teach you archery at the ferry."

Since they said so, Yunyao also said bluntly: "Then I'm not polite and disturb the teacher and the teacher's wife."

When Ji Jiang heard Yunyao call him his wife, tears immediately appeared.

It's still early now, but you can prepare the ingredients first.

Jishe said to his wife, "Ajah, take out the salt stone, then cut some bacon, and prepare to cook." "Mr. Zhu, come with me, I will teach you some common sense about bows and arrows first."

Yunyao listened obediently to the lecture, listening to this not-so-strong but very energetic man telling how to make bows and maintain bows. The old wooden bow in Ji She's hand was about the same height as Yunyao: "My bow is twenty stones, just an ordinary bow. If it were you, you would definitely be able to pull a strong bow of fifty stones. When General Huang, who I followed in the past, General Huang could pull a strong bow of fifty stones, which made the enemy frightened. It would be easy to take the enemy's life away from a hundred steps." Speaking of the past, the man could not hide his pride in his tone.

"General Huang? When the teacher participated in the war to destroy the business, was it under General Huang Feihu?" General Huang who could think of Yunyao could only abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and the loyal and fierce general Huang Feihu was really a powerful general, and the whole family was very strong.

"It's General Huang Feihu." Ji She was even more proud when he saw Yun Yao know General Huang: "When King Zhou was unrighteous, General Huang led a thousand personal guards to escape Chaoge, I was one of them." There was a little wet, a little nostalgic, and a little awe. It was indeed a warrior who participated in the war. His understanding of the war was definitely not just about making achievements. The final outcome of Huang Feihu's family and a thousand personal soldiers was very tragic. Ji She was able to survive until after the war, but was a few lucky ones. Most of the soldiers had followed Huang Feihu and became corpses on the battlefield.

So Ji She did not want to recall the tragic war: "Let's not talk about the past, let's continue talking about the bow. The strong bow of fifty stones is already the strongest force that we mortals can pull. In the previous dynasty, there was an eternal god bow in Chentang Pass, a weapon for Huangdi to shoot Chiyou. Apart from the emperor, only General Li of Chentang Pass can use it, and one arrow can shoot demons and evil spirits a hundred miles away, with infinite power." It was said that he was yearning, but in the end he said: "But those are all gods and immortals, and they have nothing to do with us ordinary people." "You first use my bow to learn basic swordsmanship, and when you are proficient in archery, I will teach you how to make a good bow."

Yunyao is full of yearning for this.

During dinner, Yunyao found that the dish was salty. Although it had a bitter and astringent taste, it was definitely salty and the appetite was instantly improved.

After dinner, Yun Yao said, "The teacher has spent money, why should I put salt?"

"It's not a fine salt, it's just a salt stone." Ji She said: "Sabremen spend their energy. If they don't eat salt, they will soon lose their hands and cannot draw their bows."

Yunyao thought he wouldn't have these problems, but what the teacher said really makes sense: "I will go to the salt man to buy some salt." Yunyao also has the skill of straw raincoat, so it should be fine to change some salt.

At this time, the weather was getting darker, and the movements of various beasts in the mountains and forests became more and more active. At night, burn some firewood and go to bed after burning them, because there was no oil lamp in this remote place.

When people ignite fire, they basically use flint, or drill wood to make fire, or simply don’t ignite fire.

There was nothing to say all night, and it was dawn. Ji She ordered his wife to stay at home, but he sent Yunyao back to the ferry. Yunyao held a pot full of berries in his hand.

Because the straw sandals were already rotten, Yunyao was barefoot and the dew wet her ankles. By dawn, the two had already returned to the ferry and everything was still the same.

"You go and clean up first, let me see where we practice." Ji She has regulations on doing things, and because she has participated in the military, she has every move and is aimed at it. Usually, he doesn't say a lot of nonsense that is irrelevant, and he is a little dull. Regarding things other than bows and arrows, it is basically Yun Yao who will ask him first before answering.

Ji She chose a tree as the target, then started walking under the tree, took twenty steps first and stopped, thinking that it was almost done. At the beginning, twenty steps, and when the shot was right, then the distance was widened.

Yun Yao made a brief preparation and did not inflate the raft. She just took out the canoe and gourd to dry it to prevent mold.

"Teacher, I'm ready."

"Well, you hold the bow and learn how to hold the bow first." The teaching began.

Start with the movement of holding the bow.

"Okay, practice holding the bow first, and practice your hands firmly before talking." Let Yunyao stand there with the bow still.

Yunyao knew that the archer could not shake his hands. The more stable the bow was, the more accurate the shooting was, so he did not dare to slack off and turned into a statue.

Of course, it is useless to just incarnate the statue, Ji She is still making other preparations.

He took some berries and mashed them into juice, then found some leaves and broken wood, used the juice as ink, and wrote and painted on it with his fingers to prepare for the second step.

Yunyao stood there, very relaxed at the beginning, but over time, the shoulders on both sides began to become sore and numb, and then his hands were out of control and began to sag.

However, Yunyao knew that if she gave in, she would marry a man. When she thought of this terrible result, she gritted her teeth and tried her best to endure it. If she was not crueler to herself, the Western Zhou Dynasty would let her know what reality is and what it means to be a woman who was guilty of not marrying at the age of twenty.

In order not to become a man's plaything, Yun Yao must survive and activate the innate energy, hoping that this magical power can help him relieve fatigue.

The innate qi flows silently in the meridians, just like a dose of spiritual medicine that makes Yunyao feel warm all over. Warmth replaces fatigue, allowing her to continue to persevere.

Although she was a woman, she was very persevering and was indeed a person loved by God. Seeing that Yunyao was sweating profusely, Ji She still insisted, silently improved her evaluation of her and made up her mind that since Zhu Nu worked so hard, she must teach her what she learned and knows.
