Transmigration begins with archery training

They stopped in front of a three-courtyard house, and before they even entered, they could hear crying coming from inside.

In the center of the courtyard, there was a coffin, surrounded by women dressed in mourning clothes and children of all ages. Every now and then, a few acquaintances from the Liangzhou army would come to offer their condolences.

Chen Sanshi walked into the courtyard and silently went to the brazier to burn paper money.

Lu Shuhua and Xie Sishu followed suit.

"Are you Lord Chen Sanshi?"

A woman spoke up, and after receiving tacit approval, she led her entire family in bowing in respect.

She was Song, Yu Song's first wife.

"Madam, please accept my condolences."

Chen Sanshi wasn't good at comforting people, so he just said, "If you need any help in Liangzhou City in the future, just send someone to find me. I live in Qingquan Lane."

"Yeah."

Xie Sishu added, "We'll do whatever we can."

"Ah."

Lu Shuhua also said, "No matter when, the Tongxuan Sword Sect always treats the lady as an honored guest."

"Thank you, gentlemen. I appreciate your kindness."

Madam Song wiped away her tears with a handkerchief: "Please, gentlemen, don't be too sad for my old man. It's not appropriate for me to say this, but for him to die on the battlefield, it was indeed a worthy death."

"Woooo..."

The concubine beside him sobbed and said, "Yes, when the master was alive, his greatest wish was to one day make a name for himself on the battlefield and become famous."

"You have made such a great contribution this time."

"The first merit belongs to Lord Chen, and the second merit belongs to the master. It can be considered as fulfilling one of his wishes."

"..."

"Master Chen."

A boy of about fifteen or sixteen asked earnestly, "My father should be able to receive the plaque recognizing him as a loyal and brave general this time, right?"

"Yes, the plaque for martyrs was Father's greatest wish..."

The youngest child said, "Wu Ergouzi always shows off his family's plaque to us!"

"..."

Chen Sanshi looked at them, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Normally speaking.

It is natural for a military general to die in battle after making meritorious contributions, and if it is a major achievement, he will be posthumously granted a noble title and posthumous name. However, Yu Song's position is neither high nor low, so he will not receive a noble title or posthumous name for the time being.

Even so, according to the past practice of the Great Sheng Dynasty, the matter should first be announced to the world, and then a plaque similar to that of a loyal martyr should be bestowed to hang in front of the family's gate. If the offspring practice martial arts, they will also receive martial arts resources, and when their cultivation level is sufficient, they will be able to inherit their father's position.

But General Yu had none of these.

Forget about receiving a reward; they probably wouldn't even get a plaque.

It's all because of so-called disobedience!

What kind of life are we supposed to risk?!

Lu Shuhua, Xie Sishu, and others also felt guilty.

They dared not stay any longer and left after paying their respects.

Chen Sanshi began to mentally draft his memorial, pondering how to clear Yu Canjiang's name of disobeying orders.

"I'll write it when I get home tonight."

After leaving the Yu residence, he went straight to the Red Sleeve Pavilion and went upstairs through the back door with practiced ease.

today.

Chen Sanshi carried a sword upstairs.

He gave a light push with his thumb, revealing the cold glint of his sword beneath its sheath, signaling Ningxiang not to pounce on him.

"Stop pretending to be reserved!"

Ningxiang covered her fragrant shoulders with a light veil and said coquettishly, "Aren't you just worried that I have some kind of magic to trap you? Otherwise, wouldn't you take advantage of the opportunity? You're all lust and no guts."

"You're just average."

Chen Sanshi had been here several times and they were quite familiar with each other. As he spoke, he walked to the table and sat down. After checking the wine pot and finding no problems, he poured himself a cup.

"generally?!"

Ningxiang was stunned, and quickly asked, "What do you mean?"

"literal meaning."

Chen Sanshi sipped his wine and then picked up two pieces of pastry to eat.

"Fine, you bastard."

Ningxiang's pretty face showed a hint of anger: "I'll deal with you sooner or later."

"Let's get down to business."

Chen Sanshi said bluntly, "The matter of the Heavenly Book is over. I have handed it over to the imperial court. It should have nothing to do with the method to reach the immortal realm. It is only suitable for leading troops into battle."

Their transaction was essentially a way to "reach the immortal realm" and traces of immortals; there's no need to elaborate further.

When we talked about this...

Ningxiang also asked seriously, "What about the others? Have you seen the immortals who bestowed the immortal treasures upon Liang Ji?"

Chen Sanshi shook his head.

"Ok."

Ningxiang was slightly disappointed: "It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see the Heavenly Book in person. General Chen didn't even mention bringing it to me first after he returned."

"Show it to you? Be careful, His Majesty might come after you."

Chen Sanshi changed the subject, asking, "Have you found the arrowhead material I asked you to find last time?"

"General Chen is really lucky. After making some inquiries, I actually found what you wanted from the other branches of the Seeking Immortals Pavilion."

Ningxiang gave a look.

"Oh."

Zhao Zhao reluctantly rummaged through the chests and cabinets, finally taking out a lump of iron from a chest full of bibs and slamming it on the table: "Here, take it."

"This is……"

Chen Sanshi picked up the shiny black iron lump, which he had never seen in any books. Judging from its texture and appearance, it looked somewhat like black iron, but there were also obvious differences.

This thing has no name.

Ningxiang explained, "If I had to say, it could be considered a type of Xuan Iron, but it was born in a special location and was nourished by special Xuan Qi, which gave it some unusual characteristics."

"Ordinary black iron can only 'conduct force', but it can be used to store 'force' for a short time, probably only a few breaths. Moreover, it is very rare. There is only so much of it in total. It's not even enough to hit the head of a spear."

Chen Sanshi concentrated his energy and transmitted it to the black iron. He found that it could indeed remain on the iron for a short time. Although it was very short and the amount of material was very small, it was enough!

Perfect for use as arrowheads!

If we can find the Ghost Vein Wood that can store energy, which we saw in the "Hundred Herbs Chart" before setting out for Mingzhou, we can forge a bow and arrow that carries energy when fired!

During this trip to Mingzhou, the use of bows and arrows against high-level martial artists was pitifully small; they could basically only be used to eliminate some martial artists below the Refinement stage.

Last time, it couldn't even hurt that ferocious beast in the Luo Tian Mountains...

It's no wonder that few people like to use bows. The higher you go, the less useful they become. Most martial artists prefer to fight with melee weapons rather than use bows and arrows when hunting strange beasts.

But things will be different if you can store up your energy!

Don't forget, he can also store up energy.

"Miss Ningxiang."

Chen Sanshi didn't rush to accept the gift, but gently placed it on the table: "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

The two had agreed on this before going to Minnesota; it was a deal.
