step on mountains and rivers

Jiang Ling received a letter from Tang Qingfeng, reckoning that he and Li Zhenwu would be going to Jinghu soon. After practicing boxing, he went to find Lu Qing and planned to go with him to pick up Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu.

Jiang Ling walked outside Lu Qing's gate and saw that the door was still closed, so he pushed the door open and said:

"Lu Qing, are you there?"

As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw Lu Qing frowning, looking at him with a displeased face, holding a long copper box made of filaments in his hand, as if he was tinkering with something, but was interrupted by his sudden intrusion action.

He didn't seem to see Lu Qing's displeasure, looked at the various copper parts on the table, and asked suspiciously:

"Lu Qing, what are you doing? What are these things?"

As Jiang Ling said, he knelt down and picked up a copper piece to study.

Lu Qing watched his movements, the corners of his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said in a displeased tone:

"lay down."

Jiang Ling was looking at the copper piece, and felt that Lu Qing's tone seemed wrong, so he looked away from the copper piece and looked at Lu Qing.I saw that his face was not very good-looking, and he seemed to be slightly angry.After Jiang Ling saw it, he quickly put down the bronze piece, but Lu Qing said calmly:

"Don't mess around, put it back where it was."

Jiang Ling looked at him, and carefully put the copper piece back to its original position.Then he asked Lu Qing:

"Lu Qing, you have been doing these things in the house all these days, forgetting to eat and sleep. What are these things?"

"Shoot the sun." Lu Qing replied and inserted the filament in his hand into the long box.

"What?" Jiang Ling asked puzzled.

Lu Qing looked at him, put down the long box in his hand, and said:

"I am not good at martial arts, and because of my body, I have no internal strength. The previous actions did not help me much, but instead kept holding you back. If things go on like this, it will not be good for anyone."

"Lu Qing..." Jiang Ling looked at him, and continued, "You don't have to be too hard on yourself, after all, you are good at medicine."

Lu Qing looked at him, then said seriously:

"Jiang Ling, I don't want to drag you... and I don't want to use this as an excuse to let my weakness become your weakness." He picked up the long sleeve from the table box way:

"This weapon is called Shooting the Sun, and it was written by Tiangong Creation. Although I have been researching Tiangong Creation, I haven't studied it thoroughly, probably because of the lack of experimental data.

This shooting sun is a trial version, which can fire fifty crossbows in a row, one shot for every five crossbows, ten times in total.Shooting the sun is very powerful, if it is shot at close range, no matter how advanced the person's martial arts or internal strength is, as long as he is not prepared, the shooting sun will definitely be able to shoot through him. "

"It's so powerful!" Jiang Ling exclaimed.

"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded and continued:

"Shooting the sun is a mechanical creation, the workmanship is relatively complicated, and the parts need to be extremely fine. If there is a slight deviation, it will not be able to be made. I have been researching these days, and I have failed many times. I have achieved a little in the past two days. So I want to It can be produced as soon as possible to increase the odds of winning in future battles."

After hearing Lu Qing's words, Jiang Ling didn't know what to say for a while.

Lu Qing picked up the box on the table and carefully packed the remaining copper pieces into the box one by one.

Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing, then got up and walked out the door.

He went out to Jinghu Town and saw that Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu hadn't arrived yet, so he prepared to go back to the Beggars' Gang.

On the way back, he saw someone selling fish dumplings.The dumplings are very simple to make. You just need to chop the fish, mix them with vegetables and glutinous rice, knead them into a small ball, and then put them on the pot and steam them. The dumplings have been adjusted to taste, and they taste slightly salty. Soft and glutinous taste, very delicious.

Jiang Ling looked at the fish dumpling and recalled the scene when he used to eat it when he was a child.He thought that Lu Qing hadn't eaten anything these days, so he bought a few and hid them in his clothes and took them home.

As soon as Jiang Ling returned to the Beggars' Clan, he saw Lu Qing standing at the gate with a strange object in his hand, waiting for him.So he hurried towards Lu Qing.

Seeing Jiang Ling running towards him, Lu Qing also walked towards him.As soon as the two of them approached, Lu Qing opened his mouth and said:

"Shooting the sun is ready, try it with me."

Jiang Ling looked at the shooting sun in Lu Qing's hand, and felt that the appearance was a bit ordinary, but he couldn't say it out loud, after all, it took Lu Qing so long to make it.

The main body of Shooting the Sun is a long brass box with water patterns about one foot long, one inch wide and two inches high. In front of the long box is a small square opening with five grooves, which seems to be used for Shooting hidden weapons.The long box is made up of two large pieces, the upper and the lower, and it is completely closed, so the internal structure cannot be seen.

A curved handle is connected to the lower end of the long box, and there is an arc-shaped trigger mechanism in front of the handle. The upper end of the mechanism is connected to the box, and the side is connected to the handle.On the handle, on the lower side of the long box, two slender silver meteorites float on it, dividing the lower end of the long box into two halves.There are some square patterns engraved under the silver meteorite to embellish it.

The whole weapon looks very simple and weird. If it wasn't for the trigger mechanism on the handle, Jiang Ling would have thought it was just an exquisite box for small objects.

Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing, and in order not to disappoint him too much, he decided that no matter what the result was, he must praise the weapon so that Lu Qing would not lose confidence after being hit.Jiang Ling thought like this, and then said to Lu Qing:

"It looks good, let's try it in the martial arts field."

"Okay." Lu Qing nodded.

After the two finished speaking, they walked towards the training ground.

The training ground of the Beggar Clan is a round platform fifteen to sixty feet wide. The two stood in the training ground. Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing and said:

"are you ready?"

Lu Qing looked at him, nodded, then raised the shooting sun and pointed it at the wooden stakes in the training ground.

Then Lu Qing lightly pulled the trigger mechanism, and saw the silver meteorite on the side of the long box pop out suddenly, spread out his wing-shaped arms, and five three-inch long black steel needles flew out of the box like lightning, and moved to the Ten feet away, it hit the wooden pile with a bang.

The huge momentum shattered the impact site instantly, and the half of the stake flew out suddenly, and fell into the bamboo forest several feet away.

Lu Qing looked at the power of shooting the sun, and slowly said: "The accuracy is not bad, but the power is a little weaker."

Jiang Ling glanced at the shattered wooden pile, and after listening to Lu Qing's words, he looked at him in shock and said:

"Is this power still weak?"

"Well, according to the original version, it should be able to shatter the entire stake." Lu Qing said lightly.Hearing Lu Qing's words, Jiang Ling had an expression of disbelief on his face. He had never seen any hidden weapon that could break such a thick wooden post, let alone shatter the entire wooden post so exaggeratedly.

Seeing Jiang Ling's unbelievable expression, Lu Qing said slowly:

"Don't believe me? Let's try it?"

After Lu Qing finished speaking, Jiang Ling looked at him, and thought about the power of shooting the sun just now, thinking that if he hit a vital point, he couldn't guarantee that he would survive, so he quickly refused:

"Forget it, I believe, I don't want to die yet."

Seeing Jiang Ling's refusal, Lu Qing explained to him:

"The power just now looks amazing, but the wooden stake won't move, and it won't resist, that's why it's like this. I need real people to experiment to get accurate data, and then make changes."

Jiang Ling looked at the serious Lu Qing, but was speechless to Lu Qing's explanation.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, he touched his chest unconsciously.Suddenly he felt something warm on his chest, so he remembered the fish dumpling he bought, and quickly took it out of his pocket and said to Lu Qing:

"Lu Qing, it's too late today, let's practice tomorrow. By the way, you haven't eaten yet. I bought delicious fish dumpling from Jinghu Lake. Try it quickly."

As he said that, he handed the dumpling to Lu Qing. Lu Qing looked at the dumpling, then at Jiang Ling who was smiling, then looked at the sky and said:

"Okay, it's really late, try again tomorrow, and I'll go back and improve it."

Said that Lu Qing turned around and was about to leave, suddenly he seemed to think of something, turned around and picked up the fish dumpling in Jiang Ling's hand, then turned and left the training ground.

Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing's leaving back, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself:

"I'm not afraid of shooting the sun, I'm just afraid of fighting and accidentally hurting Lu Qing."

Thinking that he also left the training ground.

The next day it was light, Lu Qing got up and came to Jiangling House, he knocked on the door and said:

"Jiangling, I've fixed the sun shooting, get up and try."

Just as Jiang Ling was about to go out, when he heard Lu Qing's voice, his body shook and he froze slightly.

"Jiangling, are you up yet?" Lu Qing continued.

Listening to Lu Qing's words, Jiang Ling walked slowly to open the door and said, "Get up, get up."

As he spoke, he opened the door, looked at Lu Qing with a serious face at the door, and said:

"It's too early for you. You haven't eaten breakfast yet. Let's talk after breakfast."

Lu Qing looked at him, stretched out his hand from behind, handed the two hot steamed buns to Jiang Ling and said, "Breakfast, eat."

Jiang Ling took the steamed buns in a daze, and ate them one bite at a time. Lu Qing looked at him and said:

"Let's go, go to the training ground."

Jiang Ling looked at the mantou, then at Lu Qing, speechless for a while, silently followed behind Lu Qing, and walked towards the training ground.

When they arrived at the training ground, Lu Qing saw that Jiang Ling had finished his breakfast, so he said:

"Let's start after eating."

Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing, hesitantly said:

"Lu Qing, this is not good, what if I hit you too hard and hurt you?"

Lu Qing looked at him and explained calmly: "You just need to dodge, you don't need to shoot."

"What! Did you ask me to be a moving target for you?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Yes." Lu Qing said, adjusting the shooting sun.Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing helplessly, and Lu Qing sighed, "I need data, please help me."

Seeing what Lu Qing said, Jiang Ling nodded resignedly.

Seeing him nodding, Lu Qing walked up to him, handed him a copper plate two feet long, wide and five inches thick and said:

"Using self-defense, I tried it, but shooting the sun can't penetrate it."

Seeing Jiang Ling, he nodded.Seeing that he took the copper plate, Lu Qing turned around and walked back.

The two stood five feet away, Lu Qing looked at Jiang Ling and asked, "Are you ready?"

Jiang Ling nodded.Lu Qing raised the shooting sun, aimed at Jiangling, and with a whoosh, the steel needle shot out quickly. Seeing this, Jiangling quickly dodged to hide. On the ground ten feet away, the one-foot-wide ground was instantly smashed into pieces by the steel needle.

Jiang Ling looked at the ground distractedly, saw the power of shooting the sun, and was lamenting that the power seemed to be much greater than yesterday, but he didn't realize that Lu Qing had already shot the second crossbow. Seeing the steel needle shoot towards Jiang Ling at high speed, Jiang Ling didn't respond, and Lu Qing shouted when he saw this:

"Jiang Ling, be careful!"

Hearing Lu Qing's shout, Jiang Ling approached the steel needle, he had no time to dodge, he quickly raised the copper plate to block it, with a bang, the steel needle hit the copper plate and flew towards the surroundings.The huge impact pushed Jiang Ling back a foot.He looked at his somewhat numb hands, and then at the copper plate. There were five big holes two inches deep on the copper plate.

Seeing Jiang Ling blocking the attack, Lu Qing quickly put away his weapon and ran towards him.

When he got close, Lu Qing asked worriedly:

"It's alright."

Jiang Ling shook his head and said, "It's okay." Then he looked at Lu Qing and said seriously:

"A very strong weapon, coupled with its deceptive appearance, if you make a sudden attack, even if you have martial arts like mine, you may not be able to survive. Lu Qing, you are not weak."

After hearing Jiang Ling's words, Lu Qing looked at him in surprise, turned his head slightly and said:

"It's okay, we will continue to improve in the future."

"Well, there is still a long way to go, and we will all make progress slowly," Jiang Ling said.

"En." Lu Qing nodded.
