I’m a Witch In Dongying

　　 I am afraid this old monster has really had an ulterior and dark history. Otherwise, how could she react so fiercely because she brought up this topic...

　　 Bai Shuiqiu muttered quietly.

But no matter how reluctant in my heart, I can only honestly follow Jiufeng Shiyuan’s corrections and make some adjustments to my shooting posture. At the same time, I force myself to put aside those messy thoughts, empty my mind, and shoot another five. With the appearance of Six Arrows, Jiufeng Ziyuan said nonchalantly:

"In fact, your shooting posture is quite standard, better than most students, but... the killing air when shooting arrows is too heavy, and there is a shadow of a martial jet in the shooting. This state has been long-term. Continuing is not necessarily a good thing for you."

"Ok?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu glanced back.

　　 This time, Jiufeng Shion did not make a beating like just now, but walked over slowly:

"The original formation of Wu Jie Liu was an archery honed on the battlefield. The goal was to shoot the enemy in the shortest time. Therefore, the focus was on the lethality and accuracy of archery. And Wen Jie was essentially a rise of the noble class. , The archery game promoted from top to bottom, the etiquette and tolerance of archery are more important than the accuracy of archery.

　　 To put things like temperament, to put it bluntly, it is essence, energy, and spirit. Only when these three are merged into one, can we achieve the ‘ortho shot must be hit’ as Wen Jieliu said.

　　Although you have both spirit, energy and spirit, the spirit and energy are the spirit and energy of Wenjet, while the **** is the **** of Wujet. Although ordinary people can't see the difference, if it is in the eyes of a highly skilled person, it will be full of flaws. "

　　 "……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu rarely heard the old monster speak to himself in such a serious tone, and his thoughts of retorting at first went out without saying a word.

"In fact, as far as the archery itself is concerned, there is no problem with your current state, and even in the short term, your skills may be improved rapidly. But the three of the spirits and spirits are not compatible, the influence of the martial jet stream is too deep, and you just keep advancing bravely and diligently. After a long time, you will fall into a situation that is easy to break. If you don't correct it in time, it will be very dangerous."

"Furthermore, in the final analysis, Wushu and Wenshuben are different ways to achieve the same goal. An excellent archer must be able to manage his killing intent freely. The more unremarkable an arrow, the more likely it is to kill. A hundred meters away. Besides, these ritual aspects are also important in the national competition. Your current performance may not get high scores from the judges."

　　 While talking, Jiufeng Shion had already arrived.

　　 gave Bai Shuiqiu a wink and motioned to her to hand over the bow in her hand.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu hesitated for a moment, and did so.

　　 "Watch my actions."

　　 As the voice fell, Jiufeng Shion took two steps forward and stood on the edge of the shooting field.

　　 are two seemingly random steps, but Jiufeng Shion's temperament seems to have suddenly changed.

　　 From the original appearance of being careless about everything, she calmed down for an instant, and she felt a sense of Yuan Zhen Yue Zhi, even Bai Shuiqiu, who had always been wary of her, was slightly startled, and her mind was captured by her.

　　 "This woman..."

　　 This feeling was not created by Jiufeng Shion with his own demon power.

　　, but through the change of his own temperament, the feeling brought by it, as if it was just such a random stop, became the focus of the audience's attention.

Then, I saw Jiufeng Shiyuan slowly stepping away his feet slightly, and in a slow and smooth posture, he made the arrow, bow, and string movements in sequence...Obviously, every movement is very simple. But when it was made out of her hands, it seemed as if there were clouds and flowing water, and it was indescribably easy and freehand, and there seemed to be no smoke or fire between the gestures.

　　Bai Shuiqiu watched this scene and narrowed his eyes slightly.

　　 This state is clearly the purpose of archery mentioned at the beginning of "Shooting Techniques", that is, when archery is to shoot one's own muscles and bones, the bow and arrow should be integrated with oneself. In other words, it is the so-called unity of essence, qi, and god, and human beings bow as one.

　　 But to say so, in fact, for most people, this state is out of reach. Just like the "clear sword heart" in Kendo, it sounds simple, but in fact it is just an ideal state.

　　 However, this kind of state that usually only exists in theory actually appeared in the old monster.

　　 Moreover, following the movements of Jiufeng Ziyuan, an invisible aura has already risen, faintly forming a world of its own.

　　 Then, the heart settled in the pubic field, his eyes were level, and his bow was like a full moon.

　　 This state is called "hui" in the kyudo, which is the unity of the body, mind, and bow.

　　 The breathing slowed down.

　　 For a moment, it seemed that even the surrounding air became extremely long, until a certain moment arrived, Jiufeng Shiyuan's momentum rose to the apex, the fingers of the string were loosened, and the arrow turned into a black shadow and flew out!

　　 After that, I kept my heart broken and slowly retracted the bow.

The so-called "bad heart" is actually the trace of killing intent and vigilance that remains after the outbreak of full force. The original purpose is to prevent yourself from being seriously injured and dying on the battlefield. In the era of cold weapon war, this is one A very useful skill. Later, with the development of archery and kendo, it should gradually rise to the level of etiquette.

　　 pays more attention to the sense of solemnity and ritual contained in it than to be vigilant.

　　 The whole process took about ten kinds.

The set of movements that Jiufeng Shion does is actually the decomposition of the eight-point shooting method, but when she does it, it looks extremely smooth, whether it is the bow-drawing or the arrow-releasing movement, even if it is used The most critical eye can't find anything wrong.

　　 As for accuracy...

　　 The arrow shot just now has hit the bullseye with exceptional precision, as if it had grown on the target before shooting the arrow, giving it a natural feeling.

　　 This kind of arrow, let alone Bai Shuiqiu, can't be done in exchange for Kurimi Sanae.

　　 This woman... really has two brushes.

　　If you guessed correctly...

　　 "The shooting skill of the old monster should already be the master level of lv4..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu made a vague judgment in his heart, but in his mind he began to recall the series of actions Jiufeng Shion had just done, thoughtfully.

"The highest state of bow technique is to use the heart to fight arrows. In the perfect state of perfect harmony of essence, energy, and spirit, there is no need to observe or think about where the target is, whether it is in a rainstorm or on horseback, or even In the dark night where you can't see your fingers, as long as you release it, the arrow will accurately hit the target.

　　 At that level, the eyes used in archery are no longer the naked eye, but the mind. "

When talking about this, Jiufeng Shiyuan shrugged and smiled slightly: "Well, but it’s a bit far away to say this. After all, even in the most prosperous era of Kyudo, there are only a handful of humans who can do this. , And it often takes more than ten years or even decades of hard work day and night. If the qualifications are slightly poor, even if you have a lifetime, you may not be able to sharpen that state."

"So, you don't have to be too impatient. As long as you can touch the edge of that state a little bit, it will be enough for you to shine in the IH competition. After all, the opponents you have to face are only a group of opponents about your age. 'S teenagers."

　　 "……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu looked up at Jiufeng Shiyuan, and said nothing.

　　 Although I know this woman is telling the truth, but it sounds a bit ironic...

Compared with monsters, the life span of human beings is often too short. It takes more than ten years or even decades to immerse themselves in archery and sharpen the so-called mind-eye realm. Basically, half a lifetime has passed. If it is the kind of frail and sickly , Before he even waited for the bow technique to be achieved, he died first.

For Jiufeng Shion, a monster with a long life, even if he only regards archery as a hobby in his leisure time, he can practice a few times when he is fine. After hundreds of years, he can build a master of archery. Up.

　　 "The fungus doesn't know about Huishuo, the dog doesn't know the Spring and Autumn Period", that's probably the feeling...

but……

　　 hit the target in the darkness with outstretched fingers... Is this kind of thing really possible?

　　 Doubts are only a momentary matter.

Bai Shuiqiu knew in his heart that even though it sounded a little weird, Jiufeng Ziyuan had spent so many tongues as a foreshadowing. There was no need to leave a boring lie at the last moment to lie to herself. Since she would say so, it means she is in the Kyudo In history, someone did this before, and there should be more than one.

　　 "My heart..."

　　 This kind of statement is often seen in novels and cartoons, and it always feels like a mystery.

　　 "Hey, bow and arrow for you, keep practicing."

　　While speaking, Jiufeng Shiyuan handed the He bow back to Bai Shuiqiu's hand, then turned his back on his back and walked back, apparently continuing to fish aside. With Kurimi Sanae, a minister with outstanding skills and a sense of responsibility, the job of this authentic consultant has been a lot easier.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu glanced there, then retracted his gaze, then took a deep breath, turned around silently, and started practicing again.

This time, her movements were much slower than before, and she began to consciously imitate and adjust her shooting posture, and attentively experienced the so-called "essence, qi, and spirit". Every time the arrow was shot, she would stay for a while. Thoughts

Chapter 109

　　 Jiufeng Shion occasionally looked here a few times, but didn't come close, just rubbing his chin and watching from a distance, the corners of his mouth curled up.

　　 A day's time passed quickly...

　　 Although Bai Shuiqiu shot two-thirds fewer arrows than usual when he deliberately slowed it down, he did not consume less energy and physical strength than usual, but rather more.

　　 After all, prolonged exploration and realization of the state of the three-in-one of essence, qi, and **** consumes considerable energy.

The whole day of training continued, Bai Shuiqiu was already sweating, and he felt a little groggy in his mind, as if he was in darkness, surrounded by thick curtains, although I felt like there was a thick curtain on the other side of the curtain. There was a faint starlight, but it was not clear from any direction.

　　 But she is not in a hurry either.

Because as the old monster said, the "eyes of the heart" is an unattainable realm for ordinary humans. Even the most talented group of humans will take more than ten years to honed. Come out, and the time she spent on shooting, even if she was a child, it was only five or six years.

　　 If you want to see results in such a short period of time, you can't help but look down on those geniuses in history.

　　 After the afternoon training, Bai Shuiqiu returned to the room to rinse.

　　The hot springs have been soaked once yesterday. Like this natural hot spring, there are often some ingredients such as acid and alkali. If the soaking is too frequent, it will be harmful to the body, so today it is just a simple bath and rinse. After coming out of the bathroom, Shirasuiqiu lay on the bed to rest for a while, and Kurimi Sanae and Hashimoto China also finished bathing in turn.

　　 then greeted Bai Shuiqiu and a few other girls, and went out to participate in the event.

　　Tonight’s event is a barbecue meeting.

　　 Japanese students like barbecue very much, this kind of activity can be regarded as a must-have item in the club house.

　　 In order to avoid confusion, Ogata and other boys are responsible for the pre-preparation work, from purchasing supplies to carrying and lighting a fire. Set up the charcoal fire stand, and when Bai Shuiqiu and Kurimi Sanae and others go out, all the preparations are almost done.

　　 Rows of fresh ingredients, neatly placed aside, chicken, fish, octopus balls, hawthorn balls...cover all tastes.

　　 Most of the members participated in it personally. They grilled around the charcoal fire, and a few boys with more experience in grilling pointed around.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu also tried it, but her baking technique is very average, and she doesn't have enough control over the temperature of the charcoal fire. The grilled food is only "eatable".

But what she didn't expect was that the honest-looking Vice Minister Ogata was unexpectedly a barbecue expert. Standing alone in front of a charcoal grill, she constantly grilled the ingredients and placed them on a plate nearby. People use it, and it tastes pretty good. With the special sauce, it will give you a lingering scent after eating.

　　 "Speaking of which, you may not know what you are new to the department this year, but Ogata is actually a master chef."

　　 Kurimi Sanae seemed to see Bai Shuiqiu's curiosity, and she explained a few words.

　　 It turned out that Ogata once set up a club called "Gourmet Research and Cooking Department" during the middle school period. The original intention was to gather a group of students interested in cooking to exchange and learn from each other.

but……

Except for Ogata and the first generation members who joined the group, they really want to study culinary skills, and they all know how to cook well. Most of the other members come in under the name of club activities to eat and drink. ...

In fact, every activity of this club is basically to change places and tricks, making all kinds of food, because the expenses are basically the money for buying vegetables, so even if the funds allocated by the school are limited, each activity will be repaid. Make it vivid.

　　 Then, when Ogata and others graduated from junior high school, the "Gourmet Intensive Research and Cooking Department" declined quickly because no one was cooking, and had to be declared abolished...

With such an experience, Ogata doesn’t want to make the same mistake again, so this cooking skill has become his usual after-school hobby. It will only be used when the Kyudo Club holds events such as lodging every year. Show your hand and reward the staff.

　　 "Compared to barbecue, Ogata is actually better at making sashimi. His knife skills have been specially consulted by the chef, and you will have the opportunity to see it in the future."

　　 Kurimi Sanae said so.

"Yes……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu looked at Ogata who was doing barbecue happily, and felt that the image contrast was a bit big.

　　 But it is normal to think about it. Generally, boys who participate in sports clubs eat more at each meal because of the high training intensity. From the perspective of rewarding themselves, it is reasonable to engage in a side business related to eating. Even if you fail to enter the ideal university in the future, you can change your career to become a chef.

　　 Japanese senior chefs, the treatment is still quite good...

　　 Speaking of, in China, barbecue is usually paired with beer.

　　 But Japanese law stipulates that minors cannot drink alcohol, so they can only use various juices and cola drinks instead.

　　 The only exception is Jiufeng Shion.

This old monster is 25 years old on the bright side and is the only adult in the team. When Bai Shuiqiu and others gathered by the charcoal grill, she herself was sitting next to her with a plate of skewers and a few bottles of sake. Drink for yourself.

When Bai Shuiqiu looked over, she deliberately picked up the wine glass next to her, made a gesture of wishing each other far away, and then looked up and drank it. It seemed that there was a little bit of unruliness when an ancient poet drank and made a fuss. a feeling of.

　　 "……"

　　 Although this scene looks quite normal...

　　 But why do I always feel that this guy’s behavior is a bit irritating...

　　 Bai Shuiqiu pursed his lips, and silently retracted his gaze.

　　 After the barbecue meeting, it’s time for a pillow fight.

　　 The format of this game is very simple. To put it bluntly, it means picking up pillows and smashing each other.

　　 The soft pillow is not lethal. It doesn’t matter if it hits the head or any other parts, and it’s not very valuable. The purpose of the pillow fight is to let everyone release the pressure accumulated during the play with each other and play a role in communicating feelings.

　　 Some old members of the second and third grades, who have already had experience, piled the quilts into the shape of a fortress in advance, and then threw them around using pillows as hidden weapons.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu doesn't have many acquaintances in the ministry. It's a bit embarrassing to pick strangers, but people like Kurimi Sanae can't bear to do it.

　　 So he could only catch Hashimoto China all the way to chase.

The latter fled a few times, and was forced into the corner of the room by Bai Shuiqiu. He had to hug the pillow and hurt each other. The figures of the two were entangled again, and a pair of pillows were smashed in mid-air. The Shirasu inside were all photographed, flying around as if it was snowing, choking Shiraizu and Hashimoto China both coughing.

　　 When they stopped at the end, Shirasuiqiu and Hashimoto China were all sweating, and a lot of fluff from the pillows fell on their bodies.

　　 The other members are not getting better.

　　 After saying goodbye to each other, they went back to their respective rooms, washed them one by one, turned off the lights and went to bed.

　　 The training for the next day is the same.
