Chapter 81 Chapter Ten: The Unworldly Mind of the Arrow Family

Yang Qingxuan's residence, of course, has been there several times when Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er were in contact with him. Although he possesses the skills of magic arrows, but because of his personality, he is not good at interacting with people, so he has always been at work. Not very successful, always only placed in some innocuous places. And the place where he lives is also a relatively poor and dilapidated place in Yingdu City, but there are no absolutes in the world. At this time, Chu State fell into a chaotic situation because of the lewdness and pleasure of the Xiong couple. Therefore, Yingdu City is the most prosperous place. The location has a rather strange and chilling atmosphere.

But when he arrived at the poor and secluded place where Yang Qingxuan lived, the killing spirit was much less. The expressions of the people along the way were more peaceful, and the atmosphere in the market seemed to be more relaxed. After bypassing several vegetable gardens and pigpens, one arrives at a path with green grass and trees. Several big trees stretch out their canopy-like branches and leaves tolerantly, which is a rare and quiet place in Yingdu City. There are several simple huts behind a big tree, and this is Yang Qingxuan's residence. The three of them walked through a sandy field and came to one of the huts. There was an open space there, but the sound of a baby crying could be heard faintly.

The Dongguan Brigade was slightly taken aback, looked at the scene in the open space, and then smiled knowingly. I saw a few children squatting on the ground playing with sand and mud on the open space, but a woman was holding a baby and breastfeeding under the shade of a tree on one side. Next to the woman, Yang Qingxuan was sitting. He was holding a baby in his arms and another on his back, and was feeding the baby in his arms to eat rice porridge. Seeing the appearance of this archery master, Dongguan brigade was surprised and funny at the same time, and then remembered that when he saw him once, he was also in such a mess holding a child.

Although Yang Qingxuan was busy with these children for a long time, the vigilance trained in the divine arrow skill was extraordinary after all. As soon as Dongguan Brigade and others appeared, he immediately became alert from the corner of his eyes. When he looked closely, his eyes were round. Open, showing a cheerful smile. "Dongguan, are you back?" He shouted happily. "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are finally back!" Back then, Dongguan Brigade and Yang Qingxuan met in Gongsun Jianyu's Shuiyueju, and later let Yang Qingxuan save his life. Although the two of them didn't meet many times, they could be regarded as quite close friends.

Although raising Qingxuan did not go well in terms of achievements, he has achieved quite a lot in the matter of having children. I saw him holding one, leading two, and laughing with one on his back. Come, that kind of warm and friendly feeling, but still clearly makes people feel warm. During the conversation, the Dongguan Brigade introduced Yiyang Xuanyi and Sangyang Bingrou to Yang Qingxuan. After a few pleasantries, they talked about the main topic of coming to Yingdu this time. As soon as the Dongguan Brigade mentioned Hu'er, Yang Qingxuan's expression changed suddenly. It was originally a clear and sunny sky, but suddenly it seemed that dark clouds rose steeply, and the entire light dimmed.

Seeing his expression, the Dongguan brigade nodded inwardly, looked at Yiyang Xuanyi, and asked eagerly. "How much do you know about Hu'er?" He held Yang Qingxuan's hand anxiously, and asked repeatedly: "This Sangyang girl hasn't seen him for a while, and she asked all over the capital of Ying. I don't know where he went." "Don't be busy, don't be busy," Yang Qingxuan said with a frown, "What I know is actually just fragments of fur, just the wind from others. What are you hearing here?Well, let me hear it. " Dongguan Brigade nodded again and again, so they briefly described the love affair that Sangyang Bingrou said, how after Hu'er returned to Chu State, he gradually alienated from Xiong Lu, after Xiong Lu decided to marry Dou Qingshuang, Hu'er And how to defend Sangyang Bingrou.

Then, the Dongguan Brigade also briefly described the conflict between Hu'er and Xiong Lu. Hearing that Hu'er might have slapped Xiong Lu, Yang Qingxuan was even more frowning, and the reaction of the Dongguan Brigade when he heard it Very similar. "So, I think there is no doubt that Hu'er offended the King of Chu," Yang Qingxuan sighed, "In the territory of Chu State, which has a radius of thousands of miles, you can beat anyone, even the King of Chu!" But he couldn't hit him. After he hit him, he would have ten or eight heads. I'm afraid it wasn't enough to kill him.

But I agree with this senior Yiyang. I think the king of Chu did not kill Hu'er, because everyone knows how much Hu'er did for him when he was still the son of the king. task.It's fine if the King of Chu didn't let Hu'er fly to Huang Tengda today, but if he killed him because he slapped him, it would not only be unpleasant to hear about it, but it would also bring him a reputation for killing heroes. But as the monarch of such a big country, he was suddenly slapped by one of his subordinates, and he couldn't swallow his breath no matter what. Don't kill him, but don't want to let him go, so of course he will be arrested and locked up in a place where no one knows him. "

"In this way, it is possible that Hu'er is still alive, isn't it?" Dongguan Brigade asked eagerly, "Do you know any other news?" Yang Qingxuanlue pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about something difficult to understand. After thinking about it for a long time, suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and let out a loud "ah". When he yelled, not only Dongguan Brigade and the others were startled, but even the child in his arms was startled by him, his mouth was flattened but he burst into tears. Amidst the crying of the child, Yang Qingxuan couldn't help comforting him in a bit of embarrassment, and said to the Dongguan Brigade.

"When you say that, I think of a few things. What happened between Hu'er and the King of Chu was probably because the King of Chu suppressed it deliberately. In fact, not many people know about it. Some people said that the King of Chu was a little dissatisfied with Hu'er, and might make trouble for him. It's just that it happened a long time ago, and the person who said it is not very sure, so I just treat it as a rumor. It's only now that I heard you say that something might have happened to Hu'er, and the man disappeared without a trace. After the two phases are verified, I remembered that I heard people say this before.

A while ago, some of my brothers had been on several missions to deliver supplies outside the city. During the delivery, they seemed to have heard the soldiers say that a certain secret place outside the city was locked up. The important person is said to have been ordered by the King of Chu himself. This matter is the same as what was said before, and I didn’t take it seriously after hearing it. In addition, although the country has been in chaos for a while, I haven’t heard of any sudden accidents or strange disappearances of senior officials, so I'll just take it as another rumour. It's just that after hearing about Hu'er now, and calculating that the day is close to the time when those brothers deliver supplies, that's why he suddenly realized and called out. " The Dongguan Brigade asked anxiously: "You brothers, do you know where the prisoner is?" "I'm not too clear about this," Yang Qingxuan shook his head. "But the matter is very important, I think I have to ask for you immediately!" With a firm mind, he handed over the baby in his hands, arms, and back to his wife, picked up the long bow, feathers and arrows vigorously, and lost the loving father's attitude of raising the baby, and returned to his original majestic and heroic appearance. Yang Qingxuan took a big stride, and went outside quickly without hesitation, Dongguan brigade and others quickly followed behind him, and also followed quickly. However, everyone didn't pay attention, and behind them there was a small figure, like the most nimble little beast, slanted out from the big tree. Yang Qingxuan led the Dongguan Brigade and others to the east of the city, and after asking a few people, he led the Dongguan Brigade to a hunchbacked beggar. "This is Luo Houertou," Yang Qingxuan briefly introduced, "Nothing, big or small, in our city of Yingdu can escape his eyes." The Dongguan Brigade looked at him suspiciously, thought for a while, and then asked softly. "We want to find someone. I wonder if you can do it?" Luo Hou'er turned his head and looked at the people in front of him with strange eyes, then said in a low voice: "As long as you have money, you can have anything." The Dongguan Brigade was slightly taken aback, frowning and wanted to say something, but Sangyang Bingrou at the side took off a string of pearls around his neck without hesitation, and handed it to Luo Houer's head. "Looking for someone, looking for a man named Hu'er." Luo Hou'er showed a toothless smile, weighed the pearl in his hand, and said slowly. "Where there is money, there will be people," he jumped up, limping aside the Dongguan Brigade and the others, and said without looking back: "When it gets dark, wait for me here." Seeing the figure of Luo Houer with his head bent and his spine gradually disappearing in the crowd, the Dongguan brigade looked up at the sky and the sun, and there was still about one more hour until it got dark, and he didn't know for a while. What to do. Yang Qingxuan thought for a while, and then led the crowd to a cooler place. After walking a few steps, Sangyang Bingrou let out a "huh". The East Gate Brigade turned to look at her, but saw a slightly surprised expression on her face, pointing to a path beside her. "I've noticed it since just now," she said, pointing to a small and thin child on the path, "He's been following us since just now, as if he had something to say." Everyone looked at the child curiously, only to see Yang Qingxuan exclaimed with surprise. "Kiell! Why are you here?" The child was about eight or nine years old, but because of his thin body, he was not much different from the average five or six-year-old child, so Yang Qingxuan hurried over and pulled him over. "It really made everyone laugh," Yang Qingxuan scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "This child is my puppy, named Yang Youji, and his body is not good enough. He usually sticks to me very tightly. I never expected this time. Follow me secretly." As he spoke, he pulled Yang Yuki aside and pointed at him solemnly, as if he wanted him to go home immediately. It's just that the child Yang Youji looked stubborn, biting his lips, but refused to go back no matter what, Yang Qingxuan lost his patience as he spoke, with an angry expression on his face, but the child Yang Youji But Ji kept shaking his head, and sometimes he opened his mouth as if to say something, but he couldn't understand. After a while, Yang Qingxuan seemed to have nothing to do with this stubborn child, so he had no choice but to take his hand and walk over. The child Yang Youji was also very interesting. I saw him so stubborn just now, but Yang Qingxuan no longer forced him After returning home, the whole person suddenly came obediently, sat obediently by the side, and kept looking at Dongguan Brigade and others with wide eyes. "This child..." Yang Qingxuan said with some embarrassment: "I spoiled it all. I saw that he couldn't speak clearly since he was a child, and he couldn't get along with his brothers and sisters, so he spoiled him a little bit more. Unexpectedly, it has become so completely recalcitrant now." Dongguan Lvqi asked: "He...he can't speak?" "I don't know if he can't speak," Yang Qingxuan shook his head. "Sometimes I can say a few words, but most of the time I refuse to say a word. Even if I force myself to speak, I still falter and haw, vaguely. I'm afraid I'm a stupid child." Yiyang Xuanyi looked at Yang Youji quietly, and smiled faintly. "No, you kid is not stupid, I see his eyes are bright, he should be a kid with very high qualifications. It’s just that there is an innate disease in this world called “autistic disease”. Children with this disease are not good at speech, and they seem to be separated from the outside world by a high wall, but as long as you can penetrate into this wall, you will find their talent Much taller than ordinary people. " The Dongguan Brigade looked at Yang Youji with some emotion, but thought of another Yuxue's lovely red face. Isn't his biological son Guan Long'er who lives in the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea also such a silent child? Thinking of seeing this biological son again in this life, I don't know what year and month it will be. Thinking of this, Dongguan Brigade couldn't help but sighed softly. And to be lucky enough to see his own flesh and blood in this life is all the wish that Hu'er could only realize when he accompanied him deep into the bottom of the sea regardless of the danger. The real great kindness is no longer something that can be expressed in words. Because of this, coming to Yingdu to rescue Hu'er this time is a major event that can only succeed but not fail. Although Yang Qingxuan is a bold and hearty man, he loves his family with all his heart. Among the many children, he is most worried about this Yang Youji who cannot get along with ordinary people. Yi's words rekindled some hopes for his son's disability, so he hurriedly asked. "Listen to what you said, my child's disability can be cured? But I don't know how to treat it?" "Strictly speaking, this 'autism' is not a real disease, but a strange tendency in nature," Yiyang Xuanyi said: "It is not a disease, and there are advantages and disadvantages. It usually leads to death, and the disadvantage is that it is not a disease, so it is difficult to find medicine stones to treat it." Yang Qingxuan let out an "oh", with a look of disappointment on his face. "That is to say, there is no cure." "There is no cure, maybe it is true," Yiyang Xuanyi said leisurely, "But there are only tens of millions of diseases in the world, and medicine and stones cannot be cured, but it does not mean that there is no cure. This 'autistic disease' comes from thoughts. If we can find a way to enlighten this child, it may be improved, but it may not be known. " "Enlightenment?" Yang Qingxuan had an expectant look on his face. "But I don't know how to enlighten this child?" Yiyang Xuanyi looked at Yang Youji thoughtfully, pondered for a while, and then asked calmly. "Does your kid have any hobbies, or any special skills?" "My hobby..." Yang Qingxuan scratched his head in confusion, and glanced at Yang Youji. "It's rare to hear what he likes on weekdays. It's just that I come from a family of archery. My son and daughter can draw a bow at the age of two. When it comes to archery, this child seems to have some talent." "Oh?" Yiyang Xuanyi smiled curiously: "How do you know your talent in archery?" "The most important thing about archery is the word 'stable'. If you can't achieve the word 'stable', even if you study for ten or eight years, you won't have any great achievements." "Of course," the Dongguan Brigade interjected, "Archery! Of course, you need to be able to aim accurately and steadily, and everyone knows this truth!" "Ordinary people's archery is of course so," Yang Qingxuan said with a smile: "But for a family like ours that has lived on bows and arrows all their lives, it is not so simple. There is nothing wrong with archery for ordinary people. Of course, you must shoot accurately. Hitting the target with one arrow and piercing the Yang with a hundred steps are of course the most important thing in archery practice. Just by doing this, it can be regarded as stepping into the threshold. If we really want to talk about deep archery, there is still a long way to go! " "It's just whether the shot is accurate or not, what's the mystery?" Dongguan brigade said with a smile: "As long as the arrow hits the target, isn't it successful?" "Fortunately, you are not a child of our Arrow Clan," Yang Qingxuan laughed heartily. "If someone from the real Arrow Clan speaks such unprofessional words, it doesn't matter ten days and a half months, at least they will beat you to the ground with family law. If you stand still and shoot at a target that doesn't move, even if you hit a hundred shots, what's so rare? Between the heavens and the earth, an arrow shoots out, sometimes it shoots a leaping beast, and sometimes it is in the swaying water, such changing external conditions, only relying on the archery skill of standing still, How many times can you shoot again? Therefore, in the inheritance of the Arrow Clan, the knowledge of the word 'steadiness' is very important. At the beginning, the emphasis was on 'steadiness'. Only with a firm footstep can we stand on an invincible foundation. The next thing to learn is 'steady hands' and 'steady eyes'. You must have excellent hand-eye aiming ability to hit difficult targets. When these two things are thoroughly learned, the next step is to learn "steadiness of mind", where the heart wants to be without fear or surprise. Although there are thousands of disturbances outside, there is only a goal in the heart. The final state of learning is called "shen steadiness". When you reach this state, you can shoot objects with no arrows. Although you don't have a bow or arrow in your hand, your mind is integrated with the bow and arrow. Better than when there is an arrow..." "Well said!" Yiyang Xuanyi praised: "The archery skills that you, the Arrow Clan, have comprehended are really extraordinary, and they are also secretly consistent with the most critical interaction between heaven, earth, and people." "'Sound well'?" Yang Qingxuan said with a wry smile: "It's just that I really just said it well. As far as my current archery skills are concerned, the 'steady hands' and 'stable eyes' are barely done. Arrived, just to achieve the state of "steady mind", it may take another decades of hard work. As for the state of 'spiritual stability', I'm afraid I have to live another three hundred years to reach this state..." Speaking of this, he was startled suddenly, but unconsciously looked at his son Yang Youji. Just looking at it like this, with a thought in his mind, he looked at Yiyang Xuanyi with a solemn expression. "Regarding this matter, I have one thing I want to ask my senior for advice." "you say." "In this world, is there really such a thing as being born with skills in a mother's womb?" Yang Qingxuan smiled a little embarrassedly. "What I mean is, have you ever seen someone born with a talent that ordinary people may not be able to achieve after decades?" "It sounds unbelievable to be born with skills, but it is not impossible," Yiyang Xuanyi said with a faint smile: "Listen to your tone, is there anything unbelievable about your child?" Talent?" Yang Qingxuan nodded, beckoned to Yang Youji, and asked him to stand in front of Yiyang Xuanyi. "Because my child can't speak since he was a child, he seems to have a big problem listening to what we say, so he doesn't know how to teach him. It can be said that he has never been taught anything except eating and sleeping. It's just that this child seems to have a talent for archery... No, it should be a talent that he has never even heard of. " "Oh?" Yiyang Xuanyi opened his eyes wide with interest, and asked curiously, "What kind of talent is that?" "For example, the tactic of 'stable' just mentioned, as far as I am concerned, I am from the Arrow Clan, so I can be regarded as a highly talented disciple among the Arrow Clan. However, I practiced this "steady hand" tactic for six years, and I didn't really reach this level until I was seventeen. This kind of speed is considered an extremely rare achievement among the Arrow Clan. In decades, no one has reached the state of "steady hands" at a young age like me. But the state of "eye stability" took me another 19 years, and I didn't achieve it until I was 36 years old a few years ago. As for reaching the state of "stable mind" and "stable mind", it is probably not a lofty state that I can achieve in this life. But my son is quite different from me. When he was about four years old, he had already reached the state of "steady hands" and "steady eyes". Maybe it has reached the state of 'heart stability'. " Hearing this, the Dongguan Brigade couldn't help laughing curiously: "I heard you say so much about 'steady heart' and 'steady hand'. Is this shooting skill really so magical?" Yang Qingxuan sighed: "In life, there is nothing that is not unpredictable. Just take my son as an example. I am the father who gave birth to him and raised him, but every time I see him, I always have something that I can't say." I don't know what he's thinking..." A few people talked and talked like this, but the time passed quickly, and the sky was getting dark after a while. After the sun set, Naluo Houer came limply as promised. Although this man's appearance was wretched and ferocious, he was very shrewd and quick in his work. He brought two real people with him this time. Chu soldiers, four sets of Chu soldiers' clothes, and a talisman order to enter and leave the Chu military camp at night. The Dongguan brigade and others put on the Chu soldier's clothes brought by Luo Hou'er, led by two Chu soldiers, it really looked like an ordinary Chu soldier team. More importantly, these two Chu soldiers were guards who once guarded the felons outside the city, and one of them had even seen Hu'er from afar. "The person you are looking for is locked in a stone prison outside the city right now," Luo Hou'er said with his head, "I can let you enter that stone prison, but how to save people after entering is up to you." It's out of my control." A group of people headed towards the outside of the city of Yingdu in the dark. This Luo Houertou is really powerful, and all the links arranged have played a role. With the leadership of two Chu soldiers, the Dongguan brigade and others not only went out of the city smoothly in the dark, but also There are no difficulties encountered in the outposts and checkpoints along the way. After a while, I felt that the land under my feet began to become steeper. Although the night was dark, I could still see that I had entered the mountainous area. After walking for a while, the Dongguan Brigade began to feel a little confused, because this road seemed familiar to him. After walking for a while, I saw that the mountain road became narrower, and some areas could only allow one person to pass sideways. In the heavy thunderstorm, the radiance of the Star Arrow Wasteland. The three teenagers vowed to fight for the revival of Chu. The ambush on the mountain trail, and the battle in the mountains where the Doujia army intrigues each other. All of a sudden, many memories of the past appeared clearly in the mind of the Dongguan Brigade like running water. Just because of this place, he, Hu'er, and Xiong Lu have all been here before! I remember when Xiong Lu was still the eldest son, the power of the entire Chu country was still in the hands of Dou Ziyu of the Dou family.Back then, in order to attack the Star Arrow Wasteland and take those huge Star Arrow robots for their own use, Xiong Lu often brought Hu'er to a grotto here to discuss countermeasures, and once brought the Dongguan Brigade here Discuss the plan to attack Star Arrow Wasteland. Over a small mountain ridge, around a steep path, I still remember that Hu'er once deployed the Dongguan brigade here, intending to ambush the Dou family horses passing by here. In the darkness of night, you can vaguely see the small platform where the Dongguan Brigade secretly hid back then. Recalling that the three of them were overthinking their abilities back then, thinking that with just a few small tricks, a few mobs in the market would want to fight against the Doujia army who controlled the power of the Chu State. .
