Chapter 272: Master
Early the next morning, after finishing the morning class, Yan Liqiang no longer went to the archery field to train as before, but put on a set of clean clothes, cleaned himself up, and came to the back mountain of the archery field alone.
The mountain behind the arrow field in the deer park is a forbidden place, except for a few specific servants in the arrow field, ordinary people are forbidden to enter the back mountain area at will, and the reason for this is not for anything else, because there are several special people living on the back mountain.
Those characters, with special identities and strong skills, lived in seclusion in the deer park, and even Liu Gong had to give three points on the fair day, for no other reason, because when His Majesty the Emperor practiced martial arts and arrows in the Deer Garden, those people were by the side of His Majesty the Emperor and were the teachers of His Majesty the Emperor.
Why did those people live in seclusion in the mountains behind Luyuan, Yan Liqiang didn't know, who those people were, Yan Liqiang didn't know, Yan Liqiang didn't even know how many people like that lived in seclusion in the back mountain of the arrow field, but Yan Liqiang knew one thing, that is, he seemed to have taken shit luck.
If you can learn skills from these people, you may not be able to buy them with money, but after meeting Gonggong Liu yesterday, Gonggong Liu gave him two bronze medals and told him that as long as he holds these two bronze medals, he can go to the back mountain of the arrow field to find people living in seclusion and learn the corresponding skills.
The two bronze medals that Liu Gonggong gave to Yan Liqiang look very ordinary, each bronze medal is only half the size of a palm, full of a sense of time, one of the bronze medals is engraved with a war bow and a Ji character, and the other bronze medal is engraved with a spear and a Li character, Liu Gonggong told Yan Liqiang that with the bronze medal engraved with the Ji character, he can go to the back mountain to find the old man surnamed Ji to learn archery, with the bronze medal engraved with the Li character, he can go to the old man surnamed Li to learn marksmanship, as long as he sees the two old men, he takes out the bronze medal, and the two old men will teach him the skills, as for whether Yan Liqiang can learn it, that depends on Yan Liqiang's own ability and understanding.
As for why Gonggong Liu gave himself such a precious opportunity, Yan Liqiang also asked yesterday, and what Gonggong Liu told him was that because he felt that Yan Liqiang was a material that could be made, and he wanted to fulfill Yan Liqiang, so he gave Yan Liqiang this opportunity.
Yan Liqiang couldn't find anything wrong with Father-in-law Liu's words, and the two bronze medals given to him by Father-in-law Liu were also regarded by Yan Liqiang as a certain privilege of Father-in-law Liu as the steward of Luyuan, so he didn't think much about it.
Therefore, this morning, Yan Liqiang came to the mountain behind the arrow field with the bronze medal engraved with a Li character in his arms, and he wanted to see what he could learn.
Liu Gonggong had already told Yan Liqiang yesterday about the topography of the back mountain, although the back mountain is quiet, but there are still repaired gravel roads that can lead to many places, Yan Liqiang followed the gravel path, after leaving his residence, it was only more than ten minutes, and he came to a quiet place in the mountain behind the arrow field.
A waterfall of one or two meters wide, from the mountain stream of a Xiao Mountain in the back mountain, flows down the steep mountain rocks on both sides, the height is not high, only more than 30 meters, the water flow of the waterfall is not turbulent, there is no kind of momentum of ten thousand horses galloping, look at it from a distance, but hang down like a water curtain, the mountain wind blows, the water droplets that fall down the waterfall are blown into mist, dripping, falling like rain, misty.
The waterfall that rushes down from above forms a turquoise pool, and next to it, there is a thatched house.
The thatched house is half-down, the wall on one side seems to be about to collapse, but it is supported by a few wooden sticks at will, in the courtyard of the thatched house, there seems to be a fence, and a small vegetable field has been opened up in the fence, but the vegetable field is also a little deserted, the bitter cauliflower in it grows more than a meter high, and a bunch of dog tail grass, leeks and green onions and other things are mixed together, two broken hoes and two broken wooden barrels, just thrown in the middle of the weeds, and a cat made a nest in the broken wooden barrel.
If such a scene had not been seen in the Deer Park, Yan Liqiang would have thought that the person who lived here was a beggar, not some high-ranking hermit.
Yan Liqiang, who came to the thatched hut, looked around at the surrounding environment, thinking that it was the same as what Liu Gonggong said, it should be here, he cleared his throat and was about to speak, when in the thatched hut, an impatient rough voice suddenly came, "Get out if it's okay, don't come here to affect Lao Tzu's sleep......"
Yan Liqiang looked at the sun that had jumped to the thatched roof, and didn't say anything, but directly took out the inconspicuous bronze medal, and said loudly to the thatched hut according to what Gonggong Liu taught him, "I have a bronze medal here, please Elder Li give me the art!"
After finishing speaking, Yan Liqiang stood outside the fence and waited quietly.
After a full five minutes, the door of the broken thatched hut was pushed open from the inside, and then an old man wearing a ragged shirt, tied around his waist with a straw rope as a belt, and a head full of white hair like a bird's nest on the top of his head walked out, strode directly in front of Yan Liqiang, without saying a word, snatched the bronze medal in Yan Liqiang's hand, and after carefully identifying it, he took the bronze medal into his arms, and a pair of shining eyes looked Yan Liqiang up and down through the gap between the messy white hair, "You're going to learn how to shoot?"
"Yes!"
"What's your name?"
"Yan Liqiang!"
"Your surname is Yan?" the old man seemed slightly strange.
"Hmm!"
"Okay, I'll tell you the rules of learning gunsmithing with me, I'm only responsible for teaching, I only say everything once, you can learn, you can do it, you can understand it, that's your ability, if I say you can't do it, you can't understand it, then you can get out of it as soon as possible!" The old man said fiercely to Yan Liqiang.
"I know!" Yan Liqiang nodded calmly.
"If you want to learn something from me, you have to pass the basic marksmanship, and you have to practice the third level, have you passed the basic marksmanship, and if you haven't passed, you will practice ......"
"I've passed my basic marksmanship," Yan Liqiang said calmly......
"It's over?" The old man glanced at Yan Liqiang seriously, and then pointed to a rockmill the size of a cow on the edge of a pine forest a few hundred meters away, "Do you see the hillside over there, when can you roll the stone mill from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain without the help of tools, just rely on your own hands, put the stone on the top of the mountain, and then come to me, if you are accidentally stoned to death by that stone mill, then you consider yourself unlucky......" After saying this, the old man no longer looked at Yan Liqiang, but directly yawned, continued to return to his thatched house, and never said more than half a word to Yan Liqiang......
Yan Liqiang looked at the stone mill in the distance, and without saying anything, he walked over directly.
The stone mill is surrounded by a piece of weeds, and a layer of moss grows under the stone mill, pressing out a shallow pit half a foot deep on the ground below, which seems to have been placed here for a long time without moving, and in front of the stone mill, there is a five or six hundred meters long hillside, the hillside is full of large and small rocks, soil ditches, not an inch of place is flat, seeing that hillside, Yan Liqiang remembered the Haohan slope he climbed in his previous life when he and a group of off-road vehicle enthusiasts went to the car, such a hillside is a huge test of the performance of off-road vehicles, and in front of him, the old man surnamed Li wants to let himself use his hands to roll the big stone mill in front of him from the bottom of the hillside to the top of the mountain。
Yan Liqiang pushed it with his hand, tried the weight of the big stone mill, and found that the weight of the big stone mill was just over two tons, which was just the same as the weight of a Wrangler, and it was coincidental enough.
It is basically impossible for an ordinary person to push such a large stone mill from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, even on flat ground, if it is not a strong man, it is extremely difficult for a person to push such a rough boulder to walk up a few hundred meters, let alone push the hill up the mountain on this rugged mountain road, maybe it is impossible to have such strength in a lifetime.
Looking at the top of the hillside, and then at the big stone mill in front of him, Yan Liqiang laughed......
