Chapter 288

Early the next morning, after completing the morning class, Yan Liqiang no longer went to the archery field for training as before, but wore a set of clean clothes and cleaned himself up. After that, he came to the back mountain of the archery field alone.

The back mountain of the arrow field in Luyuan is a forbidden area. Except for a few servants in the arrow field, ordinary people are forbidden to enter the back mountain area at will. For no other reason, there are several people with special identities living in the back mountain.

Those characters, with special status and excellent skills, live in seclusion in Luyuan. Even father Liu has to be courteous and comical on weekdays. The reason is nothing else, because when his majesty practiced martial arts and arrows in Luyuan, those people were guided by his majesty and regarded as his Majesty's teachers.

Yan Liqiang doesn't know why those people live in seclusion in the back mountain of Luyuan. Yan Liqiang doesn't know who their names are. Yan Liqiang doesn't even know how many such people live in seclusion in the back mountain of the arrow field, but Yan Liqiang knows that he seems to have been lucky.

You can learn from these people, but you may not be able to buy it with money. However, after meeting father-in-law Liu yesterday, father-in-law Liu gave him two bronze medals and told him that as long as he took the two bronze medals, he could go to the back mountain of the arrow field to find people living in seclusion and learn the corresponding skills.

The two bronze medals given by Duke Liu to Yan Liqiang look very ordinary. Each bronze medal is only half the size of a palm, full of a sense of time. One bronze medal is engraved with a war bow and a Ji character, and the other bronze medal is engraved with a long gun and a Li character. Duke Liu told Yan Liqiang to hold the bronze medal engraved with 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 word Li, he can go to the old man surnamed Li to learn marksmanship. As long as he sees the two old men, he will take out the bronze medal and the two old men will teach him their skills. Whether Yan Liqiang can learn it depends on Yan Liqiang's own skills and savvy.

As for why father-in-law Liu gave himself such a precious opportunity, Yan Liqiang also asked yesterday, and what father-in-law Liu told him was that he gave Yan Liqiang this opportunity because he thought Yan Liqiang was a material that can be made and wanted to perfect Yan Liqiang.

What Duke Liu said, Yan Liqiang couldn't find anything wrong. The two bronze medals given to him by Duke Liu were also regarded by Yan Liqiang as some kind of privilege of Duke Liu as the manager of Luyuan, so he didn't think much.

Therefore, this morning, Yan Liqiang came to the back mountain of the arrow field with the bronze medal engraved with the word Li in his arms. He wanted to see what he could learn.

Father Liu told Yan Liqiang yesterday about the terrain of the back mountain. Although the back mountain is quiet, there are still repaired gravel roads that can lead to many places. Yan Liqiang followed the gravel path. After leaving his residence, he came to a quiet place in the back mountain of the arrow field in just more than ten minutes.

A waterfall one or two meters wide flows down the steep rocks on both sides from a Xiaoshan mountain stream in the back mountain. The height is not high, only more than 30 meters. The water flow of the waterfall is not turbulent, nor does it have the momentum of galloping horses. From a distance, it hangs down like a water curtain, and the mountain wind blows, The water drops of the falling waterfall were blown into water mist, pattering like rain.

The waterfall rushing down from above forms a green pool, and next to the pool, there is a thatched house.

The thatched cottage was half collapsed, and the wall on one side seemed to collapse, but it was supported casually with a few wooden sticks. It seemed that a fence had been built in the yard of the thatched cottage, and a small vegetable field had been opened in the fence, but the vegetable field was also a little deserted. The bitter cauliflower grew about one meter high and a pile of Dogtail grass, Leeks and scallions were mixed together. Two broken hoes and two broken barrels were thrown in the middle of the weed. A meow star made a nest in the broken barrel.

If such a scene is not seen in Luyuan, nine times out of ten Yan Liqiang will think that it is a beggar rather than an expert hermit who lives here.

Yan Liqiang, who came to the thatched house, looked around and thought that it should be here as Grandpa Liu said. He cleared his throat and was about to speak. In the thatched house, there was an impatient rude voice, "go away if you have nothing to do. Don't come here to affect my sleep..."

Yan Liqiang looked at the sun that had jumped on the thatched roof and didn't say anything. Instead, he directly took out the humble bronze medal. According to what Duke Liu taught him, he said loudly to the thatched house, "I have a bronze medal here. Please give me an art!"

After that, Yan Liqiang stood outside the fence and waited quietly.

After five minutes, the door of the broken hut was pushed open with a creak. Then an old man dressed in rags and tied with a straw rope as a belt on his waist, with white hair on his head like a bird's nest, came out and strode directly to Yan Liqiang. Without saying a word, he grabbed the bronze medal held by Yan Liqiang, After carefully identifying it, he put the bronze medal in his arms. A pair of sparkling eyes looked up and down at Yan Liqiang through the gap between the messy white hair, "are you going to learn gunshot?"

"Yes!"“ What's your name? "“ Yan Liqiang! "“ Your last name is Yan? " The old man seemed a little strange“ Yes! "“ Well, I'll tell you the rules of learning marksmanship from me. I'm only responsible for teaching. I only say everything once. You can learn, do and understand. That's your ability. If I say you can't do and understand, you'll get out early! " The old man said fiercely to Yan Liqiang“ I know! " Yan Liqiang nodded calmly“ If you want to learn something from me, you should pass the basic marksmanship and practice level 3. Have you passed your basic marksmanship? If not, practice... "My basic marksmanship has passed..." Yan Liqiang said calmly“ "Yes?" The old man took another serious look at Yan Liqiang, then pointed to an ox sized stone mill on the edge of a pine forest hundreds of meters away, "see the hillside over there? When can you roll the stone mill from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain with your own hands without tools, put the stone mill on the top of the mountain, and come to me again? If you are accidentally crushed by the stone, 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 a word more to Yan Liqiang... Yan Liqiang looked at the stone mill in the distance, didn't say much, and went straight over. The stone mill was surrounded by weeds. A layer of moss grew under the stone mill. The ground below was pressed out of a shallow pit half a foot deep. It seemed that it had not been moved here for a long time. In front of the stone mill was a 500-600-meter-long hillside, which was full of large and small rubble, soil ditches and no inch was flat, Seeing the hillside, Yan Liqiang thought of the hero slope he climbed when he went to Huoche with a group of off-road vehicle enthusiasts in his previous life. Such a hillside is a great test of the performance of off-road vehicles. In front of him, the old man surnamed Li wanted to roll the big stone in front of him from the bottom of the hillside to the top of the mountain with his hands. Yan Liqiang pushed with his hand and tried the weight of the big stone mill. He found that the weight of the big stone mill was just a little more than two tons. This weight was just as heavy as that of a horse Herder. It was also clever enough. It's basically impossible for an ordinary person to push such a large stone from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Even on the flat ground, if it's not Hercules, it's very difficult for a person to push such a rough stone for hundreds of meters, let alone climb the mountain on this rugged mountain road, Maybe exercise can't have such strength in a lifetime.
