Ji Ning stood in the clearing of the mountain forest, holding a bow and arrow, looking into the distance.
Thousands of miles away.
In another part of Fangcun Mountain's forest, Ji Ning in black Taoist robes was standing here. He waved his hand and an arrow target appeared next to him.
"You have to hit the red heart of the target thousands of miles away." Ji Ning, in black robe, shook his head gently.
The test of Hou Yi's archery skills: he was not allowed to use his spiritual consciousness, nor was he allowed to use Yuanli or divine power to control arrows. He only relied on the most primitive brute force to shoot arrows and hit the red heart of an arrow target thousands of miles away. The red heart is one inch in size. You must shoot ten times in a row to be successful!
This test is very difficult.
Because the use of spiritual consciousness is not allowed, even ordinary earthly immortals and loose immortals can barely see thousands of miles away with their naked eyes alone. As for the red heart of the arrow target? It's impossible to see clearly. And because we are thousands of miles apart, there are usually some trees, fog, etc. that can obstruct us, so even if we have excellent eyesight, we can still see clearly.
In other words, to complete this test, you must first have magical powers similar to 'clairvoyance'!
With the magical power of 'clairvoyance', if you practice it to the extreme, you can see clearly even from millions of miles away!
Of course Ji Ning has not practiced this magical power, but he has cultivated the even more powerful "Eye of the Candle Dragon". Ji Ning obtained the "Eye of the Candle Dragon Part 1" from the treasury of the Great Xia Dynasty, which is enough to cultivate him to the point of returning to the void. At the level of gods and demons, after so many years in Fangcun Mountain, when Ji Ning relaxed, he would collect the nine-day aurora and refine it in his eyes to form the natal candlelight!
Although it is difficult to practice, Ji Ning has also reached the second level of natal candlelight.
Once the magical power is used, the naked eye can see an ant within a hundred thousand miles.
"Try it."
Ji Ning stood in the mountain forest and used the magical power 'Eye of the Candle Dragon'. Suddenly, Ji Ning's two eyes glowed like the light of a candle. If an ordinary cultivator and Ji Ning looked at each other, and Ji Ning deliberately released his power, the other person's eyes would instantly turn white. Then the world became dark and nothing could be seen.
It will temporarily cause blindness, and even weak people will become blind directly.
"Hua Hua Hua~~~" As soon as he used his magical power, countless rays of light from far away suddenly focused on Ji Ning's eyes.
The light reflections from countless objects were all absorbed by Ji Ning's eyes.
Big trees, streams, lakes, mountain roads. Everything is under observation.
There is an archery target thousands of miles away, and standing next to the target is the second soul, 'Black Taoist Robe Ji Ning'.
"Isn't it allowed to use divine power to control arrows?" Ji Ning flipped his hand, and a black arrow appeared in his hand. The arrow was on the string, and he directly drew the bow to shoot.
Wow!
Ji Ning's brute strength was astonishing. He was able to play with a big mountain as a toy, and suddenly the purple bow, a heaven-level magic weapon, was pulled into a full circle.
Ji Ning felt the wind...
The wind is blowing...
In archery, sensing the wind is the most important. Wind has a great influence on arrows. Ji Ning practiced archery very hard when he was a child, but he stopped practicing it much after he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality. After all, having such archery skills was enough, even at critical moments. You can also use Yuan Li to control arrows, so that the direction of the arrow can change slightly, so that even if the distance is too far and the arrow misses, it can be controlled and adjusted!
But now Ji Ning can't use Yuan Power. Even divine power is not allowed to control arrows.
"The speed of the wind...the change of the wind..."
"about there."
"go."
Ji Ning's eyes burned with the natal candlelight, staring into the distance, and the fingers of his right hand instantly released.
collapse!
The arrow instantly turned into a stream of light and flew directly through the air.
Wherever you go. Some large trees were directly penetrated, and the stony soil was directly penetrated. However, under these external forces, as well as the blowing of the wind wherever it passes...it seems that this external force is not big, but when the arrow flies thousands of miles away, the difference is already shocking. "Hoo!" The arrow whizzed past the target about three miles away.
"This..." Ji Ning's eyes were burning with the candlelight of his life, and he could not help but be shocked when he saw this scene clearly, "Is it so different?"
A full three miles apart?
This is too outrageous!
"Try again." Ji Ning opened the purple bow and shot out the arrow again.
collapse!
The sound of the bow string echoed, and the arrow had already turned into a stream of light and flew into the distance. This time, the arrow flew past the target five miles away.
"Huh?" Ji Ning frowned.
"Try again."
Arrows flew out.
Some are three, four, five or six miles away from the target. And sometimes if you are lucky you can get within a mile. Even the luckiest one flew dozens of meters away from the target. Ji Ning shot tens of thousands of arrows in one breath and then stopped. For Ji Ning, whose strength is comparable to the gods and demons in the early stage of returning to the void, and whose body is even comparable to the magic weapon of the immortal level, it is easy to shoot thousands of arrows, but his mind is very tired!
"I had guessed that it would be difficult, but I didn't expect that there would be so many problems." Ji Ning tried it tens of thousands of times and found many problems.
Just rely on brute force to hit the red heart of an arrow target thousands of miles away.
The first problem is that there are many obstacles such as trees and rocks on the road. The arrows will be affected when they pass by, and the direction will change very slightly. Although the arrows shot by Ji Ning's brute strength were extremely fast, their direction changed very little. But the accumulation of countless obstacles will probably deviate by a very small range. After this small range is amplified by the "thousands of miles distance", it will deviate a lot.
The second problem is wind!
Although Ji Ning realized the 'Way of the Wind' during the Immortal Fate Conference, his heart has been completely integrated with the wind for a long time, and he can sense the wind very accurately. But the wind that Ji Ning sensed was the wind at the moment when the arrow was shot! And it was the wind around where Ji Ning was at that time!
As the arrow flies, the wind changes!
In particular, the wind where Ji Ning was standing might be light, but five or six thousand miles away it might be a strong wind.
Even if he relies on his vague sense of wind and his fast arrow speed, he will still be affected.
…
Mainly these two aspects make it very difficult to hit the red heart of an arrow target thousands of miles away.
"What should I do? By the way, don't I have the magical spirit of the innate spiritual treasure of the divine bow? He must know how the ancient archers practiced their arrows." Ji Ning's heart moved, and he immediately used the magic weapon of the Luohu Bow. The spirit calls out.
Wow.
The young man in black appeared next to Ji Ning.
"Why are you looking for me?" The young man in black saw Ji Ning holding a bow and arrow, "Oh, let's practice archery."
"Rahu Gong, I want to practice "Hou Yi's Archery"." Ji Ning said directly, "But in order to obtain "Hou Yi's Archery", you must pass a test. This test means that you are not allowed to use spiritual consciousness to view it, and you are not allowed to use divine power. , Yuanli controls the arrows, and only relies on brute force to hit the red heart of the arrow target thousands of miles away. The red heart is only one inch in size. It takes ten consecutive shots to be considered successful."
"Hou Yi's archery skills?" The boy in black exclaimed, "My little master, can you get Hou Yi's archery skills?"
Ji Ning nodded: "But I must pass the test."
"This test is quite difficult. First cum a hundred times for me to see." The boy in black said.
"good."
Ji Ning immediately shot another hundred arrows. Although I understand the problem, I still have no solution. I fail again and again, and the gap is huge.
The young man in black looked at it from a distance, but he was actually relying on invisible induction. Covering thousands of miles, one can clearly see the target.
"How?" Ji Ning looked at the young man in black.
"It seems that you still have some skills. I thought you would be hundreds of miles off track." The young man in black nodded, "The most important thing about the art of archery is the word 'accuracy'. The more powerful the archery skills, the more We will always try our best to make the arrows more and more powerful. As for the accuracy? The more powerful the arrow. It is difficult to change the accuracy too much through divine power and magic. So the 'accuracy' is very important."
Ji Ning nodded.
"When it comes to archery, let's take it one step at a time. Let's shoot a hundred miles first." The young man in black said.
…
Ji Ning started practicing archery again under the guidance of 'Luohu Gong', although he had never practiced the Luohu Gong. I have seen previous masters practice archery, and they were ancient archers.
First, Baili.
Then two hundred miles, three hundred miles...
Ji Ning relied on the guidance of Luohu Gong and practiced archery for nearly three years, but he could only reach a distance of 1,200 miles. Hitting the red target with just brute force. These 1,200 miles were already the ultimate, no matter how hard Ning tried. No progress can be made at all.
"What's going on? This is how archery is usually practiced. You have mastered the induction and control of the 'wind' and the induction of the 'world'. Your arrow speed is also good. But why do I always feel that you are lagging behind? What?" The young man in black was extremely confused.
After all, he used to just watch, he was not an expert archer himself.
In the past three years, Ji Ning also made a special trip to the 'Fairy Palace'. On the eighth floor of the Palace, he chose a bow and arrow technique for reference. For reference with Luo Huigong, it is precisely because of this that it has been able to reach this level in the past three years.
"What's going on?" Ji Ning was also confused while sitting on the ground.
"Junior brother, are you still practicing archery?" A laugh rang out, and a woodcutter carrying an ax and wood came over.
"Elder brother." Ji Ning stood up and said with shame, "I have been practicing hard for nearly three years, but I still failed Hou Yi's archery test."
"Hou Yi's archery is indeed extremely difficult, and the test is also quite difficult. Shoot a few arrows and let me see." The woodcutter said with a smile.
"Yes." Ning was immediately overjoyed.
The eldest brother is the absolute number one person in the ancestor's sect. Even the second brother Ji Dian and many other brothers and sisters consider themselves inferior. Even when Ji Ning and senior brother Yinyue were chatting, senior brother Yinyue whispered, "The eldest brother must be Dao Ancestor Level Existence', the senior brother is so powerful, and has lived in seclusion here for a long time, I am afraid that he will also have studied the "Houyi Archery", one of the top ten great magical powers in the three realms.
Although there were many disciples of the ancestor who studied "Hou Yi's Archery", none of them were that great.
I believe that with my senior brother's ability, he has achieved some success.
collapse! collapse! collapse! collapse! collapse! collapse!
Arrows shot out.
Ji Ning devoted all his strength to sensing the wind and the universe. At this moment, the heaven, earth, and wind were all in his heart. It was as if he controlled the entire world, controlled countless winds, and was even vaguely aware of the changes in the wind in the distance, with a kind of subtle perception. This state is the "realm of the Tao" in the way of archery. The main reason is that Ji Ning's realm is extremely high, and there are many "winds" and "worlds" involved in the way of archery, so he can learn it quickly.
Arrows flew out one after another, hitting the target thousands of miles away.
call! call! call! call! call! call!
Each arrow stayed within ten meters of the target, whizzing past, and even with luck, one arrow hit the target. It's a pity that just hitting the target is far from hitting the red heart of the arrow.
"Okay, you can stop now," said the woodcutter.
"Please give me some advice, Senior Brother." Ji Ning said respectfully after stopping.
The woodcutter smiled and said: "Your basic training is very solid, but you still lack the most important thing."
"The most important point?" Ji Ning was confused.
"Yes." The woodcutter nodded, "Remember, when arrows are flying, your heart is also flying. When you reach this state, you can hit the red heart of an arrow target thousands of miles away." After saying this, the woodcutter carried the ax and wood, Left leisurely.
Ji Ning stood there, muttering to himself: "The arrow is flying, the heart is flying?"
