Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Bai Sheng smiled and said nothing, and said in his heart that I don't even need to use a dog-beating stick to compete with you. After receiving Shi Jin's bow calmly, he said, "What are you ashamed of? You will know in a short time. It is an honor to be under my Bai Sheng."

Bai Sheng's goal is to be invincible all over the world. If that day comes, all those who lose to him don't have to be ashamed, because even if you lose to the best player in the world, you may still be second in the world.

However, at this time Shi Jin couldn't think about it this way, he blushed and retreated into the crowd, feeling very ashamed.

Shi Jin lost, and next came the brothers Xie Zhen and Jie Bao. These two brothers were from Orion in Dengzhou. They each wielded a steel fork with two strands in their hands. Xie Zhen is known as a two-headed snake, and his younger brother Xie Bao is known as a two-tailed scorpion.

Since ancient times, snakes and scorpions have been regarded as highly poisonous things, hated and kept away.It's just that the behavior of the brothers is not vicious, so their nickname is entirely due to the strength of the steel forks in their hands.

Xie Zhen and Jie Bao came to vote for Liangshan together with Sun Li, Sun Xin, Mrs. Gu, Lehe and others. The reason why they came to vote for Liangshan was that Mao Taigong of Maojiazhuang corrupted a tiger killed by his two brothers. Well, Grandpa Mao is too much of a man, he coveted a tiger, pretended to be a bounty from the government, and even planned to frame Xie Zhenjiebao and put him in prison.

Xie Zhenjiebao's mother is Sun Li and Sun Xin's aunt, Xie Zhenjiebao's aunt is Gu Dasao's mother, Lehe's sister is Sun Li's wife, and Sun Xin's wife is Gu Dasao.The nepotism of these people is very close, it is difficult to untie treasures, Sun Li, Sun Xin and Le He have to save them, so it is reasonable for them to escape from prison and kill Mao Taigong and his family.

It's just that after committing such a major crime, he can only go to Liangshan and become a bandit.

What Xie Zhen and Jiebao had to compare with Bai Sheng was not the two steel forks, what they wanted to compare was the beast taming skills.

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao’s family have lived on hunting for several generations. If they caught prey that could not be eaten or sold, they domesticated and kept them at home. Over time, they developed a set of skills for taming animals. They were good at taming birds and beasts. , and can even domesticate ferocious beasts such as tigers, leopards, lions and bears into domestic animals.

It is worth mentioning that many years later, Shi Jin lived next to Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, and they also fell in love with hunting and taming animals. A mountain villa was built in the Shaanxi area, named Wanshou Villa, which became famous in the martial arts in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Let’s not talk about the future, let’s just say that at the moment, Xie Zhen and Jie Bao are going to compete with Bai Sheng in animal language and bird language. The top of Liangshan is densely covered with forests, and there are many kinds of animals and birds in the forest. The bird's language calls the birds and beasts to come and control them as domestic animals.Are you Bai Shengxing?

Chapter 689

Facing the challenge of Jie Zhen Jie Bao, Bai Sheng gave the answer: "Is it okay, what you say is not proven, let's compare and see."

In fact, Bai Sheng didn't expect that someone would compete with him in this kind of ability. Of course, he can't speak animal language, but he can speak a little bit of bird language. This is the result of modern education in later generations. A bird language.Of course, even in the language of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, he couldn't call the birds to his side, which he knew well.

Bibibi, brother Xiezhen Jiebao and Bai Sheng walked out of the Juyi hall together, Liang Hongyu, He Xuantong, Chao Gai Songjiang and other leaders of Liangshan followed behind.

People followed not only because they were curious about Jie Zhen Jie Bao's ability, but more importantly, they needed to witness the results of the competition between the two brothers and Bai Sheng. The right to speak, this is his vital interest.

Standing in the dense forest on the top of the mountain, Xie Zhen performed first. I saw him pursing his lips and whistling, chirping a series of birdsong.

Just when people thought it was a little funny, an amazing scene appeared. Dozens of birds flew out from the lush branches and leaves in the forest, including parrots, turtledoves, partridges, larks, orioles, orioles, and magpies. , and more are the most common sparrows. These birds are of different colors and sizes, and they all land on the clearing in the forest in front of Xie Zhen, jumping, picking and pecking, and never leaving.

This ability is really strange, and everyone admires and praises it.

Xie Zhen clasped her fists and saluted in a circle, thanking everyone for their praise, then turned to look at Bai Sheng, and said, "I will drive away these Xiu birds later, as long as you can call them back, I will be considered a loser."

Bai Sheng smiled and nodded, "Okay, you can blow them away now."

Xie Zhen couldn't believe it, she immediately sneered, and made a mournful whistle with her lips pressed against each other. The birds immediately flew up and fled to the surrounding forest. The dense forest surrounded the place where the people were, and the dense branches and leaves were far away from the circle formed by the people. But Zhang Xu, those birds disappeared among the lush branches and leaves in a blink of an eye.

Everyone looked at Bai Sheng, wanting to see how he would call the Xiuniao back, but they heard Bai Sheng shout: "Hello, kill the rice, Puliss! You've got a bad nose!"

Brother Xie Zhen couldn't help looking at each other and laughing, what kind of bird language is Bai Sheng talking about?It would be strange if the birds could understand.

It's just that before the smiles on the faces of the two brothers were fully unfolded, they found that the birds struggled and flew back!The smiles of the two brothers immediately froze on their faces, and their smiles were uglier than crying.

Who has ever seen a bird fly upside down?Can birds fly upside down?No one in this world has ever seen a bird flying upside down, but at this moment people have seen that the birds flying back from the branches and leaves in all directions, one by one, all fly back upside down.

What's even more amazing is that the number of these birds that flew back was more than double the number that Jie Zhen summoned just now!

How is this going?Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were stunned.

Different from the situation when Xie Zhen summoned the birds just now, none of the birds recalled by Bai Sheng landed on the ground, one counted as one, and they were all in the same state - always flapping their wings desperately, but flying farther and farther As Bai Sheng got closer, he seemed to be bound by a strong suction force, writhing within a radius of one foot around Bai Sheng's body.

And Bai Sheng didn't speak any birdsong anymore, and suddenly stretched out his arms, and used a set of palms on the open space in the forest. The changes in the palms are subtle, and the moves are clever. The countless shadow screens created by his hands just covered the path of all the birds. No matter how those birds struggled to break free, they would be blocked by his arms and palms, but they would not be injured.

What kind of martial arts is this?How could it be so subtle?Everyone in the arena watched with fascination, couldn't hold their tongues, they had already admired Bai Sheng's ability so much that they fell in love with each other.

No one noticed that in the depths of the forest, there was a pair of beautiful eyes watching Bai Sheng's every move through the gaps in the trees. Yu said, "It turns out that Xiaoyao Zhemei's hands still have such changes."

The one talking to herself is a middle-aged beautiful woman, this beautiful woman is none other than Li Qinglu, the hostess of the Vulture Palace, just because Li Ruolan went to Tianshan again a few days ago and found her to ask for the Demon Pill, and at the same time informed her apprentice Ma Zhimin that she had been arrested. Bai Sheng killed her, and Bai Sheng also snatched one of her white gloves. In anger, he ignored her husband Xu Zhuzi's obstruction, and insisted on going down the mountain to find Bai Sheng. Let's not say whether to take revenge or not, at least to seek an explanation .

Li Ruolan instigated Li Qinglu to seek Bai Sheng's bad luck, but she would not cheat her sister. She repeatedly told Li Qinglu not to confront Bai Sheng directly, because Bai Sheng's martial arts are really elusive, and there will always be strange moves. Xu Zhuzi may not be able to defeat Bai Sheng easily even if he goes out in person.

Li Qinglu is not an arrogant person. Keeping Li Ruolan's advice in mind, she stayed in Bianliang City for two days and finally waited until Bai Sheng left the capital. She followed him all the way, trying to find the best opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

But how could Bai Sheng be so easily attacked by others?Even a martial artist as high as Li Qinglu couldn't find a chance to strike, until Bai Sheng went to Liangshan, she had nothing to do with him.

What Bai Sheng used was indeed Xiaoyao Zhemei Shou, but he added his own experience and mixed the Red Fist Yuguang into it, forming a new set of palm techniques.

Just because he used the technique of catching dragons and controlling cranes to "catch" the birds back to consume too much internal energy, and it was daytime, his internal energy could not be replenished, and there were still several competitions to come. I had to keep enough internal strength, so I came up with this method to keep the bird from flying away.This method is almost effortless.

What he didn't know was that this set of palms was secretly learned by Li Qinglu who was peeping from the side. The clever Li Qinglu perfected this set of palms and passed it on to her second child Lin Chaoying a few years later. Become one of the martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect, that is, "the force of the sky and the earth".The reason why her second child's surname is Lin is because her ancestor of Baicaomen is called Lin Yi.

Leaving aside the rest, Bai Sheng used his newly created martial arts to enclose a hundred birds in his palm, and after a full incense stick, he asked Xie Zhen: "Do you think my skills are better than those of the others?" how are you?"

Xie Zhen was already dumbfounded, and she woke up suddenly when she heard the words, and replied, "I lost the contest of calling the birds."

Bai Sheng continued to dance lightly with his palm, and said with a smile: "Well, you mean that there is no competition for taming animals, right?"

Xie Bao said: "No more competitions, summoning birds is no match for you, presumably our brothers are also unable to tame animals, not to mention there are no wolves, tigers and leopards around here, no more comparisons, we admit defeat."

The two brothers Xie Zhen and Jie Bao, when it comes to summoning birds is Xie Zhen's unique skill, but when it comes to taming animals, Xie Bao's level is higher, but the skill of summoning birds has been completely surpassed by Bai Sheng. Even if there are ferocious beasts on this mountain, I'm afraid it's my brother who would be ashamed, so it's better to be a bachelor and simply admit defeat.

Brother Xie Zhen conceded defeat, and when Bai Sheng was about to release the Xiu bird, he saw Hua Rong approaching and said, "Brother Bai Sheng, let's use them to compare arrows before releasing the Xiu bird, what do you think?"

Bai Sheng immediately understood Huarong's intentions. Birds are living and flying objects. This is much more difficult than shooting those fixed targets. People with ordinary archery skills would never dare to compete with such targets.

"Okay! Just compare as you said!"

Chapter 690

In this era, generally speaking, if the two sides of the contest choose to move the target, they usually choose larger birds, such as vultures and falcons.

Using large poultry as a target has two advantages. First, it can protect livestock and poultry from loss and play a role in facilitating production; second, this type of poultry is large in size and wide in wingspan, making it easier to target.

But what Huarong proposed was to shoot the bird with an arrow, which surprised everyone.

Even those who are familiar with Huarong's arrow technique on Mount Liang never expected that Huarong would come up with such a competition method.

It is well known that birds of prey such as eagles, vultures, hawks, and falcons fly at extremely high altitudes, which are the best choices for testing strong bows and crossbows, while ordinary birds fly at very low altitudes, so there is no need to choose a bow and crossbow if you want to shoot , it can be said that the range of any bow and arrow is enough.

But is shooting a large bird necessarily more difficult than shooting a small bird?of course not.The difficulty of shooting a bird is that the bird target is too small, and as long as there is a slight error in aiming, the arrow will shoot empty.

This reason is actually very simple. Without considering whether the shooting range can be achieved, which is more difficult to aim at a mountain peak hundreds of miles away or at a copper coin tens of feet away?Of course the latter is more difficult.

Warriors in this era have all learned bows and arrows, so they all understand this truth. Most people think that it is impossible to shoot down a flying sparrow in the air with a bow and arrow, only Huarong can do it.

But they were even more surprised when Hua Rong mentioned the specific method of the competition.Because what Huarong was going to shoot was a sparrow that was [-] paces away!

What is the concept of four hundred steps?That was already close to one mile away, and the arrow shot at a sparrow one mile away had to be a flying sparrow, which was unimaginably difficult!

Why is it unimaginable?Because normal people can't see sparrows one mile away at all, how can they aim at things they can't see?
