Chapter 8 Encountering a Ghost at Night
The two masters, one old and one young, who took advantage of the danger of others, nodded with satisfaction: "The children can be taught!" Chen Guang did not have the slightest restraint because he had just knocked on the bamboo bar: "By the way, eat a simple and light meal tonight, just have chicken and fish." In addition, it would be great if you added a ginseng soft-shelled turtle soup, a candied fruit, and a white cloud pork knuckle. ”
Wu Zhao rolled his eyes: It's just a little simple, it's obviously going to break my rhythm. That's it, anyway, those who are short of money and food now don't care about this. He handed over all the gold and silver on his body to the butler, and instructed him to continue to practice in the practice room after raising the level of food during this time.
Chen Guang taught first, after practicing the kung fu of finding arms and waists, Chen Guang stretched forward with his left hand, and retracted his right hand and said: "Apprentice, I am about to go out to fight in the near future, I will first teach you several basic exercises of the big gun, and in case our master and apprentice are separated in the future, you can also practice by yourself." Let's move on to the third step: burying the step. ”
Wu Zhao was surprised when he heard this: "Master Chen, you will be in Chengdu in the future, and I will provide for you in old age, how can there be a time for separation?" ”
Chen Guang waved his hand: "Don't talk about this!" Come, let's not look at our hands first, but practice our feet. This burying step is the practice method of using a gun in foot combat, the gun is the king of a hundred soldiers, and the king must have a strategy. Therefore, in foot combat, many times you have to rely on dark steps to win people. That is, selling flaws through footwork, burying traps, and making people jump in. Experience many footwork methods such as breaking, escaping, avoiding, abandoning, stealing, mating, etc., and cooperate with hands and feet when facing the enemy, which is infinitely useful. ”
Wu Zhao nodded and was taught, imitating his posture of standing up. Chen Guang taught very carefully, starting from the most basic advances, retreats, and left and right movements, and explained in detail step by step.
After resting for a quarter of an hour after practicing footwork, Wu Song came over: "Senior brother, run barefoot first, and then stand on the pile." ”
I cried......
Suddenly, three days had passed, and the equipment requested by Chen Guang and Wu Song had been delivered, and letters sent by civil and military officials at all levels had also piled up on Wu Zhao's desk. Wu Zhao opened a few letters and vomited blood when he saw it: Emma, it's all in Chinese and crepe, do you want to see the dog eyes of the blind Lord Honshu? I couldn't stand it after reading a few letters, so I sent someone to find Diao Chan: "Diao Chan girl, these letters are too literary, I have a hard time looking at them." You are engaged in classics, and you are responsible for promoting a colloquial, easy-to-understand style. You can ask the students of Daguanyuan to help you for specific things, and you can also find Master Sima to allocate financial resources and manpower, so that the literati officials in Yizhou will use a more simple and straightforward vernacular in both speech and writing in the future. ”
Diao Chan disguised himself as a man again, and when he heard this, he asked, "A more simple and straightforward vernacular?" Well, is it the same as what the governor usually says? Although Diao Chan is trying to learn how to speak, there is still a lot to go! ”
Wu Zhao smiled when he heard this: "It's simple. During this time, you come to my study every day, and I will teach you more simple and straightforward vernacular, and you will implement it in Yizhou after you have summed it up. I instructed the butler to give you a token, and you should hand over the official duties of the school to your subordinates for the time being! ”
Diao Chan nodded lightly when she heard this, and Wu Zhao pulled a table for her to sit down: "The simple and straightforward vernacular I speak is called vernacular, and I use what the people say on weekdays to read and write." You see, this sentence is written like this......"
In the latter period, Wu Zhao seems to have returned to his childhood, practicing martial arts in the morning and evening, and spending most of the day in Chinese classes with Diao Chan. Smelling the faint virgin fragrance on Diao Chan's body every day, and the smell of sweat on his body, it seems that it is not bad to feel that life goes on like this.
About half a month later, the basic skills of spearmanship were taught, and Wu Song also taught Wu Zhao the practice of stone locks and stone poles. Chen Guang opened his mouth and said: "I have a little foundation in the basic skills, I will reduce the practice of the basic skills in the past few days, and I will pass you a set of Hedong big guns." This set of marksmanship is an introductory marksmanship, which is divided into two parts: horse-mounted guns and mounted guns. Although they are relatively simple, it is not easy to make them powerful. We first practiced the horse and the gun, and after the practice, we went to the barracks to practice riding the gun. ”
There are a total of eight moves in this set of marksmanship, and each move is a regular and has not changed much. Chen Guang demonstrated the horse gun and the riding gun twice, Wu Zhao followed and did it once, and was corrected once, and then took it apart and explained it once, and finally got familiar with it, and basically knew it.
Chen Guang nodded with satisfaction: "It's not too stupid." Then pack up and get ready to go out to fight the thieves! It's time for my long-sealed old gun to drink blood! ”
After explaining the implementation of the vernacular to Diao Chan, he called Deng Fei that night, and the four men had a good drink.
Early the next morning, Wu Zhao and the other four people dressed up as chivalrous warriors, and set off to suppress the thieves with the second-level guards presented by the thirty-two system. A group of 36 people, all of whom were carrying dry food on fast horses under their crotch, rode out in the early morning sunshine, galloped away from the Taixuanmen in the north of Chengdu City, and set off for the most recent place where the "72 people who ran wild": Cangxi County, Brazil County.
The voice of the little white snake sounded in the wind: "After this period of practice, your force value has increased by 13 points, rising to 83, and awakening a skill slot; Now we have started the task of exterminating the rogues, please be safe. ”
Awakened skill slots? What do I mean I can finally end my days of streaking? This feeling is very cool!
The autumn wind blows your hair so fiercely that you can't help but want to sing a long song. Wu Zhao's spear pointed north: "Master Chen, Senior Brother Wu, it takes less than thirty miles to the northeast to leave Shu County and enter Guanghan County." Xinducheng, the nearest county seat in Guanghan County, is about forty miles from Chengdu, and we will rest there tonight. ”
Chen Guang was carrying a big gun with a red ox tendon wooden pole, quite a bit of the spirit of his predecessors: "No, we have a lot of people on this trip, and we are pretending to be Jianghu guests, so it is best not to enter the city." Staying overnight in the villages along the way is not only more convenient to find out the whereabouts of the Liukou, but also to experience the people's livelihood, isn't it better than staying in a guest house in the city? ”
The master spoke, and Wu Zhao did not disobey. All the way through the village and through the countryside, enjoy the rural scenery of the late Han Dynasty.
These places are close to Chengdu and are relatively wealthy. Along the way, there are basically tall tiled houses, and the population is relatively dense. However, the legend of the Japanese invaders sneaking in and raging made people panic, and the villagers along the way saw dozens of people riding horses from afar, and their first reaction was almost always to turn around and run home, and then close the door tightly. The group traveled all the way, and no one answered when they knocked on the door, let alone a night's sleep, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to beg for saliva to drink.
On this day, I walked about thirty miles, and on the way, I came across three or four villages that had been plundered by the bandits. Almost every household has a funeral, every family hears the cry, and some barren mountains and mountains can still see young women who were nailed to the trees by the short knife on the side of the road, probably killed on the spot after being taken hostage to the mountains by thieves and ruined.
It is better to hear than to witness, and the group is in a heavy mood after seeing the tragic situation of the rogue raging with their own eyes.
That night, everyone stayed in a large mansion that had been destroyed, and after hastily eating dry food, everyone was in a bad mood and went to bed early.
Sleeping until midnight, Wu Zhao suddenly felt a chill on his body, and a low sobbing sound faintly came into his ears: "Woo woo, Lord Qingtian, the little woman's whole family was tortured and killed, and the little woman's parents and younger brother died so miserably!" Ask the big man to be the master of the little woman! ”
