Chapter 129: Heaven-shaking Bow
Xue Rengui was startled, then laughed and said, "Sir, please don't make fun of me. My family is poor, and now the world is peaceful, so how can I have the opportunity to become a general?"
Li Daoxuan smiled meaningfully and said, "Since you think I am an immortal, I will calculate your fortune."
As he spoke, Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand and calculated.
Xue Rengui's eyes showed a hint of expectation. If someone else wanted to tell his fortune, he would definitely think they were liars, but if it was Mr.
After a moment, Li Daoxuan finished his calculations and sighed at him.
Xue Rengui's heart sank. Was he destined to never achieve anything great in his life?
Li Daoxuan said quietly, "You are destined to be a general. You have extraordinary luck. All your achievements in life are in the military. You can be granted the title of Duke in the future."
When Xue Rengui heard this, he immediately smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, why do you sigh, sir?"
Li Daoxuan continued, "Success or failure is all on the battlefield. There is a calamity in your life that will make you experience a military defeat. If you can survive this calamity, you will soar into the sky and have a bright future. If you can't survive this calamity, I'm afraid you will waste decades of your life in vain."
If Xue Rengui can avoid the defeat at Dafeichuan in the future, his future will be limitless, and his immortal reputation as a general will not be overshadowed by a shadow.
Xue Rengui was a little surprised and asked, "Sir, how can we survive this disaster?"
Li Daoxuan looked at him and said only four words.
"Trouble begins within the family."
Xue Rengui seemed to be thinking about something. Sir, what you mean is that his future defeat will be due to the betrayal of his own people?
Li Daoxuan sighed inwardly. He had already issued a warning when they met.
The reason why Xue Rengui was defeated in the Battle of Dayuechuan was that his subordinate Guo Daifeng was proud of his status and was dissatisfied with being under Xue Rengui. He disobeyed Xue Rengui's military orders, which led to a large amount of food and grass being captured by the enemy.
On the other side, Xue Rengui defeated the Tubo vanguard and returned victoriously, only to find that the army had run out of food and fodder. He had no choice but to station his troops in Dafeichuan, and after holding out for a while, he finally negotiated peace in a humiliating manner.
This was also the turning point in his life from prosperity to decline.
Li Daoxuan "revealed the secret" at this moment in order to make up for this regret.
"Thank you for your advice, sir. Xue Li will take note of it!"
Xue Rengui bowed and expressed his gratitude.
Li Daoxuan slapped the Three Realms Gourd on his waist, and suddenly a shiny white snake tendon flew out, along with a dozen dark and hard snake scales.
"Brother Xue, thank you for your sincere protection. Before we part, I will give you a gift."
After saying this, true fire gushed out from the Three Realms Gourd, continuously tempering the dozen or so snake scales, melting them together, and then shaping them into a bow shape with the help of magic power in the void.
The cold Yellow Spring water spurted out to quench the bow and increase its hardness.
In an instant, hot steam rose like clouds, and the snake scales, which were already as hard as black iron, became even harder and more resilient.
Li Daoxuan snapped his fingers and tied the snake tendon to the bow.
Suddenly, a majestic bow took shape. The bow was pitch black with mysterious patterns and a faint luster. The bowstring was as white as jade, and it was the tendon of the snake demon among the Five Gods.
Although this monster is not very powerful, it has the blood of a real dragon, and its snake tendons carry a murderous aura, which is quite extraordinary.
Looking at the bow, Li Daoxuan nodded with satisfaction.
Although his weapon-refining skills were not very good, the materials were good. Snake scales and snake tendons were extraordinary things, and the bow made from it was actually at the level of a mid-grade magical weapon.
Li Daoxuan pulled the bowstring, but did not put an arrow on it, and aimed at the tree beside him.
As the bowstring was pulled little by little, the bow body began to vibrate faintly like thunder, with an astonishing sound.
The bow was like a full moon, and Li Daoxuan loosened his fingers.
boom!
The strong wind made the trees shake constantly, and leaves fell like rain. This was the case without arrows. If arrows were put on, one can imagine the power.
"Yes, the sound is like thunder, so let's call it the Heaven-shaking Bow."
After that, Li Daoxuan threw the Heaven-shaking Bow to Xue Rengui and said with a smile, "Brother Xue, are you satisfied with this gift?"
Xue Rengui's eyes almost popped out. He was one of the rare sharpshooters in the world, and his archery skills were even better than his halberd skills. How could he not like such a magical bow?
I just couldn't put it down, it was love at first sight...
But Xue Rengui was Xue Rengui after all. Even though he loved the Heaven-shaking Bow, he still kept his sanity and said, "Sir, this gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it. Please keep it!"
Li Daoxuan laughed loudly and said, "This Heaven-shaking Bow is a divine weapon in the secular world, but to me, it is just a small gadget I made casually. Please accept it without any hesitation."
Li Daoxuan has the Sun Golden Needle and the Red Cloud Sword, so he really doesn't take this Heaven-shaking Bow seriously.
And he doesn't know how to shoot a bow...
Seeing Xue Rengui's hesitation, Li Daoxuan said loudly: "Xue Rengui, let me ask you, are you willing to hold this Heaven-shaking Bow, drive out the barbarians, protect the country, stop the war outside the Great Wall, and spread your power throughout the world?"
Xue Rengui's blood boiled when he heard this, and he replied in a sonorous voice: "Xue Li will definitely live up to your trust, sir!"
Li Daoxuan smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Xue, I believe that in your hands, the Heaven-shaking Bow will surely shine and be remembered for eternity!"
In history, Xue Rengui's bow and arrow was called the Zhentian Bow. In the first year of Longshuo, the "Tianshan Shooting King" Jilikuhan led an army of 100,000 Turks to invade the Tang Dynasty. Xue Rengui led his troops to Tianshan to fight.
Facing the arrogant Turkic army, he remained calm, and shot three arrows in succession with the Zhentian Bow, killing three of Jie Likuhan's most admired generals, Yuanlong, Yuanhu and Yuanfeng. He frightened the Turkic army so much that they threw them into chaos and surrendered one after another.
From then on, "The general's three arrows conquered Tianshan, and the soldiers sang long songs as they entered the Han Pass" became a long-standing ballad sung by the Tang army.
Li Daoxuan believed that the Zhentian Bow he had refined was more powerful than the one in history and would definitely make Xue Rengui even more powerful.
"Brother Xue, a dozen years from now, the war will begin, and that will be your chance to establish your career. "
When Xue Rengui heard this, his eyes lit up. He was confident that he had a lot of abilities, and all he lacked was an opportunity.
"Thank you for your advice, sir!"
Xue Rengui bowed deeply.
But no one answered.
He quickly raised his head and found that there was no one in front of him. He looked around and there was no sign of the gentleman.
If he had not been holding the Heaven-shaking Bow in his hand, he would probably have thought that everything he had experienced before was just a dream.
The gentleman is gone...
Xue Rengui sighed. This magical experience would become his most precious memory, and the teacher's guidance would be unforgettable.
I hope I will have the opportunity to repay you again in the future...
He lifted the Zhentian Bow and found it was quite heavy, so he picked it up and prepared to pull it into a full moon.
But halfway through, his arms began to ache and he felt vaguely weak.
This shocked him greatly, and when he recalled the ease with which the gentleman had drawn the bow before, he could not help but exclaim in amazement.
"Sir, you are truly a god!"
