Hunting Immortals and Demons

Wu Chaofeng stopped ten steps away and laughed loudly: "Lu Qingshan, don't be nervous, I'm just passing by."

Immediately, he took Li Shi and Li Mu and left in a swaggering manner.

"Sister Hai and the others are having a hard time."

Wang Cui sighed.

The borrowed grain was taken away, and from now on they would have to rely on wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy their hunger. When winter comes, the wild vegetables and jelly will freeze to death and wither, making it difficult to find them again.

Haisao's husband Wu Hai obviously went out to work, but even at home, he couldn't stop Wu Chaofeng and the others.

Looking at Mrs. Hai and her daughter crying together, Lu Yan sighed.

All he could do was sympathize. As for providing food support, he couldn't do it. They didn't even have enough to eat.

This damn world.

"I won't go hunting in the mountains these days."

Lu Qingshan said.

They already had a feud with Wu Chaofeng and the others. If he went hunting in the mountains, and Wu Chaofeng and the others came to seize the food, Lu Yan, Wang Cui and his wife would not be able to stop him.

"Dad, I want to learn hunting with you."

At this time, Lu Yan spoke.

"Okay, I will teach you at home these days."

Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and then agreed, which surprised Lu Yan.

In his memory, Lu Qingshan did not teach him hunting in the past. He only asked him to study and obtain fame in the future. He did not expect that he would agree so readily today.

But having said that, nowadays, the world is getting more and more chaotic, and the status of scholars is getting lower and lower, and there is no place for them to use themselves. After more than a month of exile, it is normal for Lu Qingshan to change his mind.

"Hunting is divided into archery, traps, tracking, etc. The most important of them is archery, so I will teach you archery first, and then I will make a bow for you."

Lu Qingshan said.

Lu Qingshan is an old hunter for more than ten years. It is difficult for him to make an ordinary hunting bow. He uses oak as the bow body, tough rattan bark soaked as the bow string, and the arrows are directly made of bamboo. By the next morning , a brand new hunting bow is ready.

"Yan'er, come with me."

Lu Qingshan took Lu Yan to a bamboo forest not far outside the village. On a bamboo, an arrow target made of wood was already hanging.

The wood was whittled into a circle, and a black dot was drawn in the center with charcoal. At the center of the black dot, nine rings of different sizes were drawn, labeled with numbers from one to nine from the inside to the outside.

"In archery, first of all, the body must be stable and the hands and shoulders must be flat."

Lu Qingshan began to explain the key points of archery, and Lu Yan listened carefully.

"Watch it."

After the explanation, Lu Qingshan stood thirty meters away from the target, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and with a whoosh, the arrow flew out like lightning and hit the target.

"Yan'er, come and try."

Lu Qingshan looked at Lu Yan.

"good!"

Lu Yan took the newly made hunting bow, pulled out a bamboo arrow, and stood thirty meters away from the target. He tried to recall the key points explained by Lu Qingshan in his mind, then pulled the bow and shot the arrow. There was a whoosh. The arrow missed the target. The archery target is several meters long.

Lu Yan's old face turned red, but he let out a soft sigh, showing a hint of surprise.

Because at the moment when he shot the arrow, the book suddenly appeared in his mind, and a light flickered.

This has never happened before.

Lu Yan concentrated on communicating with the book, but there was no response.

"Is it related to archery?"

Lu Yan secretly guessed.

Seeing Lu Yan startled, Lu Qingshan thought Lu Yan was discouraged because he missed the shot, so he comforted him: "Yan'er, it's normal for you to deviate when you shoot an arrow for the first time. When my father first learned it, he was better than you. It’s not good, just practice more, there’s something wrong with your actions just now.”

Lu Qingshan corrected some of Lu Yan's mistakes and asked him to continue practicing.

Lu Yan bent his bow, nocked an arrow, and shot another arrow.

This time, he noticed that when he was shooting the arrow, the book in his mind reappeared and flickered.

Sure enough, it was because of archery, not an illusion.

Lu Yan became more energetic and kept practicing. Of course, most of the bamboo arrows missed the target, but some were lucky enough to hit the target.

Every time I shoot an arrow, the books in my mind will flash.

He practiced like this until noon, until his arms were sore, and then he stopped and went back to eat. After eating and taking a rest, Lu Yan went back to practice.

The second day.

"Yan'er, archery is easy to learn but difficult to master. You have almost mastered the basic knowledge. The next step is to practice more. Over time, you will naturally master it and even become proficient. Today, as a father, I will not accompany you. You just practice alone."

Lu Qingshan said that the bamboo forest was right on the edge of the village, so there was no need to worry about Lu Yan being in danger.

"Okay, Dad."

Lu Yanxing hurriedly took the hunting bow and bamboo arrows to the bamboo forest and continued practicing.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

I practiced over and over again, forgetting the time, and it was approaching noon.

Duo!

The arrow hit the target and landed steadily on the 'nine rings'.

"Hit the target three times in a row."

Lu Yan showed a smile, and after continuous practice, he finally got results.

At this moment, the books in his mind changed dramatically, emitting a dazzling light, and seemed to have a strong attraction, sucking Lu Yan's consciousness into it.

Lu Yan felt his eyes go dark, and his consciousness fell into darkness. The next moment, he appeared in a boundless land. In front of him, an ancient book was suspended, with a dazzling light.

"Is this my mind? Or is it my conscious space?"

Lu Yan guessed.

What comes in is not the physical body, but consciousness.

Later, Lu Yan's attention was completely attracted by books.

The books are very simple, neither gold nor jade. I don’t know what kind of material they are made of. Rune-like lines are constantly flowing on them, and the light is emitted from these lines.

Gradually, the light dimmed, and two words appeared on the surface of the book: Taoist Book.

Then, the Taoist book opened automatically, revealing pure white paper. There were no words on it, but a human-shaped pattern emerged.

After a moment, the humanoid figure flew out from the book and landed next to Lu Yan.

What shocked Lu Yan was that the humanoid pattern completely turned into a 'person' with clear facial features and looked exactly like Lu Yan.

But without any clothes on, his body was transparent, and his muscles, meridians, bones and internal organs were all clearly visible.

"There is writing on the head."

Lu Yan looked carefully and found out: clone, ordinary archery, first glimpse of the door (1%)

After this clone appeared, a hunting bow appeared in his hand, and a bag of light arrows appeared at his side. He pulled out a light arrow, put it on the bow string, took a good posture, and shot an arrow.

The archery posture was exactly the same as Lu Yan's.

After shooting an arrow, he took out another arrow and continued shooting.

This time, compared with last time, some adjustments have been made to the strength of the posture, making it better and more stable than last time.

Lu Yan suddenly gained some clarity in his mind, as if he was the one who shot the arrow just now, and his understanding of archery also deepened slightly.

It's not much, but it's definitely making progress.

Could it be that the results of the archery clone's training would be fed back to him?

Lu Yan was extremely excited and stared at the archery clone with interest.

Archery is divided into body and mind without any distracting thoughts. He concentrates on shooting arrows as if he is tireless.

After a while, the numbers on the head of the archery clone changed.

Clone, normal archery (2%)

As for Lu Yan, his understanding of archery was obviously deeper.

"It's actually like this. Then I don't need to practice. Wouldn't it mean that my archery skills can keep improving?"

Lu Yan was overjoyed and clenched his fists excitedly. This was his opportunity to change his destiny.

"How to exit consciousness?"

As soon as he thought of this, his consciousness retreated with a sudden sound and returned to his physical body.

But as long as he concentrates, he can still clearly 'see' the scene in his mind.

The archery clone is still focused on practicing archery. Every time he practices, Lu Yan will gain a little more insight into archery.

But within half an hour, the archery clone stopped and remained motionless, and the number also stopped at 3%.

At the same time, Lu Yan's stomach growled, and he felt a strong sense of hunger.

"Does the archery clone need to absorb energy so that it can continue to practice? Now I am hungry and have no energy to provide, so I stopped."

Lu Yan speculated.

Wanting to find out and verify it, Lu Yan went home immediately, and it was lunch time.

Lunch is wild sweet potatoes and wild vegetables.

Lu Yan was so hungry that he ate two wild sweet potatoes weighing more than a pound and a plate of wild vegetables.

Sure enough, after eating, the archery clone started moving again and continued to practice archery.

But about an hour later, the archery clone stopped again, and the progress stopped at the first glimpse (8%).

Two wild sweet potatoes and a plate of wild vegetables will increase the food intake by about 5%.

Lu Yan's stomach growled again.

Lu Yan could not tell that he was hungry now, so he waited for another hour before telling Wang Cui that he was hungry.

"You are growing tall now, so you are hungry quickly. I will cook two more wild sweet potatoes for you."

Wang Cui smiled.

After eating two huge wild sweet potatoes, the archery clone started moving again, but stopped again an hour later.

As expected, the progress increased by 5% and stopped at 13%.

Lu Yan figured out a pattern. The improvement in archery progress was related to the energy contained in food.

The two wild sweet potatoes at the back are slightly larger, equivalent to the two wild sweet potatoes and a plate of wild vegetables for lunch, so the improvement progress is also the same, both 5%.

It was still a few hours before dinner, and Lu Yan couldn't ask for anything more.

First, there is not much food stored at home and cannot withstand consumption.

Second, being hungry too quickly would be abnormal, which would arouse suspicion among parents. Lu Yan didn't want anyone else to know about the Taoist book.

It's not that Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui can't be trusted, but if the two of them are leaked, it will be a fatal disaster.

Lu Yan endured hunger and practiced archery in the bamboo forest.

Whoosh!

The bamboo arrow hit the target steadily and stopped on the sixth ring, which was much better than before.

"Just a few hours is at least worth half a month of hard training."

Lu Yan clenched his hunting bow, full of expectations for the future.

"I wonder if Taoism will respond to martial arts training."

Lu Yan thought about it and planned to improve his archery skills first, then hunt with Lu Qingshan, sell the prey, and go to a martial arts gym to practice martial arts when he has enough money.

Dinner is stewed hare meat with wild sweet potatoes.

Wang Cui filled a large bowl for Lu Yan, most of which was rabbit meat.

Lu Yan didn't pretend to be pretentious and finished a large bowl. Only by improving as quickly as possible could he repay his elders better.

After eating, Lu Yan lay quietly on the bed to reduce his body's energy consumption and allow more energy to be absorbed by Taoism.

The archery clone started practicing again, and this time, the progress increased by a total of 30%, reaching the first glimpse (43%).

Sure enough, meat still provides more energy, far more than wild sweet potatoes and wild vegetables. One pound of meat can improve your health six times as much as two wild sweet potatoes.

Time passed and came to the afternoon of the third day when the archery clone appeared. Lu Yan was sitting cross-legged in the bamboo forest. A series of insights about practicing archery for a long time came to his mind. Lu Yan's understanding of archery was rapidly improving.

Clone, ordinary archery: slight success (1%).

Archery has reached a new level.

Lao Mu is back, and a new book is coming. This book took Lao Mu a lot of energy to conceive and set up. The follow-up is absolutely wonderful. Please collect it and read it every day. This is very important. Thank you.
