Chapter 6 Wu Wu No Second
At this time, some memories in his mind told Qin Mubai that his martial arts skills were the worst among the three brothers since he was a child, which was undoubtedly the most humiliating thing for the descendants of the generals. Not only that, "I" has been stubborn and rebellious since I was a child. I can't do it. I only like flying eagles, dogs and chickens to gamble on money. My conduct also seems to be a little bad. I am an ignorant rich second-generation playboy.
The Qin family has always been very strict, so Qin Shubao and his two half-brothers were a little disappointed and bored with themselves. No wonder they were kicked out of the house and thrown into the army early, and they didn't go home for three years and didn't get any promotion.
"Well, this arrow, think of it as the first battle to correct my name after the return of Qin Mubai!"
With a smile on his face, Qin Mubai and his two brothers took the bow and arrow on the weapon rack and put the arrow pot on it, and walked to the arrow field.
"Hee hee, Dad, do you think the third brother's return this time is very different from the past?" Qin Shuanger whispered, "Shuang'er sees that he is much more sensible than before. He is less Meng Lang and more calm. Look at his idle and confident demeanor now, which is a little like his father!"
"Four children are sweet-mouthed, but they can't just focus on protecting your third brother. Eighteen or nine years old, it's time to be sensible. When his father was at his age, he had been leading the army to pull out the city. Qin Shubao stroked Qin Shuanger's head, and a pair of old eyes like eagle falcons stared at the three people in the field. He said lightly, "For the martial artist, it is fundamental to have a true chapter under his men, otherwise no matter how good the temperament is, it is also a pretentious posture."
Qin Shuanger pouted and protested, "Dad, why do you hate the third brother so much? It's so unfair!"
"Is it annoying?" Qin Shubao smiled, patted her on the head and said, "Stop arguing. Let's see your three brothers test your archery!"
Qin Mubai took a closer look at the bow and arrow in his hand. The traditional Chinese composite reflective bow is slightly different from the modern bow he used in training and competition in the 21st century. The bow body is made of a mixture of superior boxwood and animal keratin. It has a long range and takes more than 100 catties of force to pull it apart. In the example of the current military martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, this is the "long bow" used by standard infantry.
It is inseparable from its sect. Qin Mubai believes that he can shoot this kind of arrow well, which is nothing more than using more power than before. After crossing, the power surged almost twice that of ordinary people. It's not a big deal to pull away this kind of one-stone bow.
"How do you compare the two virtuous brothers?" The eldest brother Qin Tong spoke.
"Let's listen to my brother's arrangement." Qin Mubai and Qin Bin both said so.
"Good. My father just talked about Liuyi, so let's compare according to the standard of Liuyi archery. Qin Tong said, "Let's compare with 'can lian'."
"Good." The two answered together. Qin Mubai played drums in his heart: What is ginseng? The archery in the six art of Confucianism is really complicated. Forget it, I'll watch them shoot first.
"Big brother, please." So, Qin Mubai said.
"Hmm." Qin Tong answered, and a superior smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He bowed and shot an arrow at the target dozens of meters away.
With a "Du" sound, it hit the bullseye.
Qin Mubai's heart is a slin in his heart: Good archery! Who said that the ancients must have lost to the present? It is not difficult for a good archer in the era of cold weapons to become a professional archer in modern times!
Then, Qin Tong fired three arrows in a row, all of which hit the target. Four arrows are neatly arranged, just like a "one" word.
"Big brother's archery has always been the most exquisite. How can my third brother and I win?" Qin Bin said aside, and his words were obviously envious and exclaimed.
"After the four arrows hit the target, the word is lined up. It turns out that this is the 'can lian'. I used to play this kind of little thing with my teammates. I not only shot the word 'one', but also the word 'zhi'. Qin Mubai smiled inadvertently and said secretly in his heart.
"It's your turn, second brother." Qin Tong laughed a few times, clapped his hands and said.
"It's better to obey than to be respectful." Qin Bin looked back at Qin Shubao and confidently bowed and arrows. He even shot four arrows, and also shot a beautiful four ginseng.
"Haha, the second brother's archery is very powerful!" Qin Tong patted Qin Bin on the shoulder with a big smile, and the two brothers were obviously very intimate.
A smile appeared on Qin Shubao's face not far behind him, and he nodded slightly.
Qin Shuanger pouted and whispered, "It's obviously unfair! The eldest brother and the second brother have been good at joining the company since he was a child, which has always been the weakest of the third brother!"
Qin Shubao smiled and said, "If you know that you are the weakest, you should strengthen it. If you don't even have any strength in archery for three years in the army, your third brother will be really a dunk.
"Huh! Dad, you know that you are partial to the eldest brother and the second brother!"
On that side, Qin Mubai pulled the bow string and tried to prepare for shooting. Qin Tong and Qin Bin stood aside with their hands and chests, looking at him with a smile. Qin Tong also said, "Third brother, you have been in the army for three years. You should have made progress in your archery skills, right? Anyway, you can't lose to Congwen's second brother, can you?"
"The two brothers adhere to their father's talent, but the younger brother's qualifications are poor. If they lose, it's right. Don't laugh at the two brothers." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and shot an arrow in his hand.
Arrows are like running, flying stars every month!
With a "Du" sound, it hit the bullseye!
"Wow, the third brother is great!" Qin Shuanger jumped up and cheered loudly. Qin Tong and Qin Liang's faces trembled neatly and said in the same voice, "The third brother is really good at archery!"
Only Qin Shubao remained calm.
The arrow art in the six art of Confucianism does not pay attention to killing the enemy on the battlefield, but focuses on self-cultivation and shaping a gentleman's demeanor. This "continuous" archery pays attention to a "alignment" - not whether it is hit the bullseye, but whether the three arrows in the back can be neatly arranged in a row with the three in the front.
The Confucian meaning of "cultivation of Qi Zhiping" is also reflected in this shooting art.
However, Qin Mubai's unrestrained posture of throwing his hands and feet and arching archery just now, and the confidence of 'one arrow is inevitable', also really made Qin Shubao and others stand out of their eyes.
"There are still three arrows, the third brother shoots!"
"Good." He answered with an indifferent smile. Qin Mubai held the bow in his left hand and the arrow in his right hand. He opened his five fingers and picked out three arrows, and put them neatly on the bow string like a flowing cloud.
Qin Tong and Qin Bin suddenly opened their eyes in surprise - what does he want to do? Are the three plants hair together?
It's not that there are no people who shoot three arrows at the same time. It is possible to see such an archery master in the army. But the problem is... Now the competition is "can lian", requiring four arrows to be arranged side by side!
Who can guarantee that in this case, the three arrows shot at the same time are lined up on the target?!
It's absolutely impossible!
"Maybe, only a peerless shot like my father can do it?" Qin Tong and Qin Bin thought the same thing.
"Ah..." Later, Qin Shuanger exclaimed lightly and pointed to Qin Mubai and said excitedly, "Dad, look, the third brother is going to use three consecutive hairs!"
"I don't know the height of the vertical seeds. How can the three plants be connected at the same time? ..." Qin Shubao sneered.
Before he finished speaking, there were three crisp sounds from the edge of the target!
The dust is settled.
Qin Tong and Qin Bin were stunned, and their big mouths could almost swallow their fists.
"Wow!!! It's so beautiful! The third brother is so awesome! What a neat connection!" Qin Shuanger jumped up with joy.
Qin Shubao stood up and stood up!
Qin Mubai put down his long bow and smiled slightly. He inadvertently turned around and saw his father Qin Shubao standing up. A pair of fierce and surprised eyes fell on him with accuracy, as if the blade had been wiped.
"Third brother... You... are really amazing!" After a long time, Qin Tong and Qin Bin came to their senses together, took a cold breath neatly, and said in surprise.
"My little brother is ugly." Qin Mubai bowed his hand and smiled indifferently.
Qin Shubao frowned slightly and sat down again. Qin Shuanger blushed with excitement and chattered around Qin Shubao, "Dad, did you see it, hee hee! The third brother really did it! Three plants in a row, so neatly!"
"Uh-huh..." Qin Shubao said softly and didn't say much.
"Dad, why don't you praise the third brother!" Qin Shuanger came over and helped him pinch his shoulder while whispering in his ear.
"Is it for men to learn arrows to get famous? Since he is a general, he should shoot well. If he doesn't shoot well, he should be punished. Qin Shubao said with the same expression, "However, Sanlang does seem to have improved compared with a few years ago. Go, ask them to come here."
"Yes! Hee hee!" Qin Shuanger jumped over and ran over, as happy as if she had won the lottery. After talking and laughing with the two brothers, she took Qin Mubai's arm and whispered, "Third brother, Dad has praised you!"
"Real?" Qin Mubai smiled.
The three brothers put down their bows and arrows and walked to Qin Shubao together to worship.
"Wen has no first, no second, no second. Today's competition for archery, Sanlang wins." Qin Shubao didn't say much. After saying this sentence concisely, he got up on crutches and said, "I'm tired for my father. You three brothers and three are busy!"
"Yes, Father."
Qin Shuanger helped her father walk away and laughed all the way, like a lively bird that made Qin Shubao laugh from time to time.
"Shirty days, look at it with new eyes." Qin Tongning looked at Qin Mubai and said seriously, "Third brother, I didn't expect that your archery skills have been refined to such a level, and your demeanor is not the same, quite like your father's general. In contrast, Brother Yu is really ashamed. It seems that Brother Fool is also going to practice hard. I'm going to say goodbye today. He will have a chance, and our brother will compete again.
"If my father wants to rest, then I'll go." In contrast, Qin Bin, who is from the text, has more bookish atmosphere, and his expression is more gentle. He said, "The third brother serves and is filial to his parents at home. If you have time, you might as well read more books. The ancients said that 'Wuding Guowen Anbang', now in the peaceful and prosperous times, it is not a bad thing to learn more talents. Say goodbye, brother!"
"I remember, congratulations to the two brothers!" Qin Mubai arched his hand to see him off, and his heart moved slightly: Now, they looked at me and talked to me a little closer. Obviously, after a small attempt at archery, my father and brothers looked at me with new eyes... After all, blood is thicker than water. Maybe they don't really hate me, but they just hate Qin Mubai, who used to be stubborn and useless.
