The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 594 Meteor chasing the moon
Xue Rengui rode his warhorse and ran a few laps on the track to get familiar with the horse's nature. Then he slowed down and ran to the track opposite the target. He loosened the reins and clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly. His figure paused.

The young man on the horse held the bow in his left hand and quickly took the eagle feather arrow with his right hand. He straightened the arrow tail, put on the tiger tendon string, and the bow was round as the autumn moon, and the arrow was shot as fast as lightning.

With a whoosh, a faint gray arrow feather flashed in the air.

There was a crisp sound of "thump" coming from a hardwood target one hundred and fifty steps away. The targets used by real cavalry for archery practice were all made of very hard solid wood, because most of the enemy soldiers on the battlefield wore armor, so even if the accuracy was good, it would be useless if the strength was not enough.

Solid wood targets imitate the hardness of armor, allowing you to better experience the effects of actual combat.

"it is good!"

Li Yan shouted inwardly. His eyesight was certainly not better than that of an ordinary person. He saw an eagle feather arrow on the target shaking slightly, hitting the center of the bull's eye.

Li Yan hasn't turned back yet
'Tock-tock.'

There were two more crisp sounds, and two arrows hit the target. At this time, Xue Rengui on the training ground had passed the best shooting distance. He put away his bow and arrow and began to circle again. On the second round, Xue Rengui rode past the position where he had just shot arrows but had not yet drawn his bow.

When Li Yan was wondering, he saw Xue Rengui turn around and shoot three arrows quickly. All three arrows hit the target, but the accuracy was not right and they were not in the center.

During the third lap, Xue Rengui actually hid in the stirrups and shot three arrows from under the horse's belly at an incredible angle, and every arrow hit the target.

After shooting all ten arrows, Xue Rengui returned to Li Yan, panting, his face flushed due to the churning of blood, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Li Yan knew that shooting arrows in this way was very exhausting.

"Your Highness, I am sorry to show my ugliness."

Although his tone was rather modest, Xue Rengui still showed a slightly happy expression on his face. He looked at Li Yan with a smile and said, "Your Highness, I don't know how good your archery skills are. Why don't you shoot a few arrows? This way, I can understand your mastery of horse archery and make a practice plan for the future."

"Hahaha, okay, then let me show you my archery skills!" Li Yan picked out a handsome white horse that he often rode from the stable.

Without choosing another good bow, he took the Chi-Le bow from Xue Rengui, drew three arrows from the quiver, flipped over, and mounted his horse in a swift and decisive move.

Xue Rengui secretly praised, "What a great skill!"

Li Yan squeezed the horse's belly and the white horse shot out like lightning. After riding to the best shooting position from the front, Li Yan straightened his back, drew his bow and put an arrow on it. He was like a flying dragon soaring into the sky or a tiger emerging from the mountains, majestic and murderous. Li Yan held the bow in his left hand and three long arrows were placed on the bowstring in his right hand.

The bow is drawn like the autumn moon across the sky, and the arrow flies like a meteor through the air!
Xue Rengui's eyes narrowed. One bow and three arrows. Only masters with extremely strong martial arts, riding and archery dare to do this. This shows the prince's confidence in his archery skills.

Li Yan's hand loosened.
With a loud bang, three arrows shot out like three gray lightning bolts, heading straight for the target at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Xue Rengui's expression froze and he quickly turned his head to look at the target. He was stunned for a moment, with his chin open and rubbing his eyes hard, suspecting that he had seen it wrong. There was an arrow stuck in each of the ten targets, which was left after he had just shot the arrows. There was no target with two arrows on it.

The guards behind him kept their expressions unchanged and ran slowly to the front. Seeing no target, they went around and ran into the woods behind. After groping for a long time, they found three eagle feather arrows, bowed to Li Yan who had returned, and handed them to Li Yan.

Without even looking at Xue Rengui, he returned to his post, his movements smooth and his expression natural, not seeming surprised at all.

Li Yan didn't care about it at all and asked, "Rengui, what do you think of my posture just now? Does it look handsome? Is it very majestic?"

Well.
Your Highness, when you practice archery, are you practicing your posture?

Xue Rengui's forehead was covered with sweat. He forced a sheepish smile and praised, "Your Highness, whether it was the movements of riding a horse or drawing the bow, it was like a dragon leaping and a tiger leaping. I'm afraid I will never be able to catch up with Your Highness in this lifetime."

"Hahaha"

Li Yan smiled slightly and pushed the bow towards Xue Rengui: "Rengui, my archery skills are just like this, and I am afraid that I can't change. Today I will give you this Chi Le, you must practice riding and shooting well, and my safety will be in your hands in the future."

Xue Rengui knelt on the ground excitedly, raised his hands to take it, and said resolutely: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will protect you with my life."

"Well, I believe you."

Xue Rengui felt touched when holding the Chi-Le bow. It was obvious that the prince was giving him the bow on some pretext, but was worried that he would lose face, so he used the method of testing to give him a decent gift.

Thinking of this, Xue Rengui said excitedly: "Your Highness, in fact, I also have a magical power called Meteor Chasing the Moon." "Oh, what does Meteor Chasing the Moon mean?" Li Yan's face had an inquiring look, as if he roughly understood it, but had never come into contact with it before.

Xue Rengui explained: "It means shooting arrows continuously, with the last arrow in a straight line with the first arrow. When practiced to a high level, the last arrow can even break the shaft of the first arrow. When practiced to a supernatural level, an expert can even shoot seven arrows in a row, with each arrow breaking the shaft. This is called Seven Stars in a Row."

At this point, Xue Rengui showed a look of shame on his face: "It's just that I'm not strong enough, I can only shoot three arrows in a row, and by the fourth arrow, I'm not accurate anymore."

"There is such a miraculous archery skill. There are so many brave and skilled generals in the court, but I have never heard of anyone who can do it."

Li Yan asked in surprise, is there really such a person? That's impossible?

The arrow shaft is so small, how can it stay in a straight line? It's already good enough to hit the center of the bull's eye, but how can you hit the arrow shaft when you can't even do it yourself?

Xue Rengui said with a look of longing: "Yes, Your Highness, but those who can shoot stars to chase the moon are the best in the world. In the past, the Right Guard General of the Sui Dynasty, Duke of Qi Changsun Sheng, was able to shoot this kind of arrows, but he could only shoot six arrows."

"When it comes to the best archery in the world, it has to be Zhang Zhongjian, also known as the Bearded Man. He is widely recognized as the one who can perform the Seven Stars Linking Art."

When Li Yan heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he seemed to think of something, and his expression calmed down again. He didn't know if such a person was still alive, and even if he was, he couldn't use him. Since such a person was famous and had no loyalty to Li Shimin, it was even more impossible for Li Yan, as the crown prince, to invite him.

Besides, not everyone can get it around?
Li Yan thought about it and decided to give up. It would be better to raise these future generals. Those who are famous all over the world are not his type.

"Rengui, since you know how to do it, why don't you show me how to do it?"

"Okay, Your Highness."

Xue Rengui walked forward slowly, calmed his mind and adjusted himself for a while, then picked up three arrows, put two of them in his mouth, bent his legs like a horse stance, straightened his back, relaxed his shoulders, and slightly turned his body to stare at a target in the distance.

Li Yan also kept quiet and didn't dare to disturb him.

Xue Rengui took a stance and remained motionless for about a cup of tea. Li Yan seemed to be able to hear the sound of the wind blowing past his ears.

Suddenly.
Xue Rengui quickly raised the bow in his hand, moved his right hand, and with a swish, the long arrow left the string. Before the sound of the arrow hitting the target was heard, his left arm was as steady as a mountain, and his right hand swung past like a residual shadow, with two more swish sounds.

There was a series of crisp crackling sounds, and Li Yan was shocked, with his jaw hanging open in amazement. Without going forward, Li Yan could see that Xue Rengui's first arrow hit the tail of an arrow on one of the targets in the distance, and the next two arrows also broke the shaft of the previous arrow. Finally, there was only a feathered arrow left on the target with its tail trembling slightly.

Three broken arrows fell to the ground!

In order to witness this magical moment, Li Yan secretly activated the Eye of Truth. His brain worked quickly and his attention was highly concentrated. Time seemed to slow down. Li Yan could clearly see that after the first arrow split the arrow on the target.

Before the second arrow hits the target, it catches up with the previous arrow, nails it directly to the target, and breaks the arrow shaft from the tail. The same thing happens with the third arrow. In other words, the arrow cannot wait until the previous arrow hits the target, otherwise the tail of the arrow will swing rapidly and the following arrow will not be able to capture its shadow no matter what.

The only way is to catch up with the previous arrow when the arrow is about to hit the target in the air, and each arrow must be faster than the previous one.

This requires the archer's martial arts, physical strength, waist strength, leg strength, arm strength, eyesight, as well as skills and mental qualities to reach an extremely high level. No wonder Xue Rengui used the word "shen" just now. This definitely requires concentration to the point of selflessness.

Just now, Xue Rengui spent a cup of tea just to adjust his mindset and gather his feelings, which shows how difficult it is.

Li Yan immediately took a breath of cold air. Damn, you guys are cheating, okay? How can human power reach this level? Even if I am a cheater, I have never thought about how to play it. As for whether I can achieve it, Li Yan has never tried it.

Today is an eye-opener
Li Yan turned his head to look at Xue Rengui, only to see that he was sweating all over, as if he was exhausted. His legs and arms were trembling slightly, his face was a little pale, and his expression suddenly became much weaker, and his eyes were a little dim.

Raising his hands with difficulty and arching them slightly, Xue Rengui said tremblingly: "Your Highness, I am glad that I have fulfilled my mission."

"Rengui, you really opened my eyes today."

Li Yan quickly stepped forward and took the other person's arm, praising him generously: "I didn't expect that you would have such a superb archery skill. You are still young now. If you continue to practice like this, when you are in your thirties or forties and at the peak of your life, I believe that you will be able to reach the level of Seven Stars in a Row."

"I didn't expect that this shooting star chasing the moon chain arrows would consume so much energy? Then don't use it lightly in the future."
