Chapter 9 (1/2)

After dinner, Wu Ma cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. Zhou Tiezhu went back to the blacksmith's workshop and looked at the stove and tools. On weekdays, Zhou Tiezhu lived upstairs in the blacksmith's workshop. Yan Dechang said he would go out and change his clothes. He went directly to the backyard to pull out the rhinoceros horse, put on the saddle, rode out the door, and didn't say what he was going to do. Yan Liqiang was the only one left at home, Yan Liqiang was idle at home all of a sudden.

In the past, he didn't have free time. During the period from dinner to bed, except for the time to eat, he basically practiced in his backyard. Yan Dechang would stand by and personally supervise Yan Liqiang. He never relaxed for a day.

Yan Liqiang's thin reputation among the teenagers in Liuhe Town is all his sweat over the years. He is not lucky.

Yan Liqiang's front yard is beside the Liuhe river. There is a water hammer machine tool powered by water in the blacksmith workshop, while Yan Liqiang's backyard is opposite to the front yard. Outside the backyard is a bamboo forest, which is very quiet.

The stable and forage room are under two tile roofed houses in the backyard. There is a peach tree in the backyard. Under the peach tree, there is a weapon rack. On the weapon rack, there are four weapons: the stick is the ancestor of a hundred soldiers, the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, the sword is the courage of a hundred soldiers, and the gun is the king of a hundred soldiers. These are the four most common weapons and the four weapons that are most used and can kill people, For more than 90% of martial arts learners, their major weapons are basically one of these four kinds. To put it in more detail, because sticks are not very lethal, and not many people use sticks. Most of them major in three kinds of weapons: knives, guns and swords.

The so-called moon stick and year knife are guns for a lifetime. Guns are the most difficult to cultivate among the four weapons. Therefore, relatively speaking, fewer people cultivate guns than swords.

But Yan Liqiang majored in guns.

This was not Yan Liqiang's choice, but Yan Dechang had chosen it for him when he began to practice martial arts. Yan Liqiang didn't know why Yan Dechang, who didn't understand martial arts, chose such a difficult path for him. Over the years, Yan Liqiang has been practicing guns and basic skills of guns.

Not far from the weapon rack, there is a rack. Under one of the racks, a row of iron beads with the size of eggs are tied with a rope. This is the prop for Yan Liqiang to practice his gun. The row of iron beads is coated with phosphor, so it can be seen not only in the daytime, but also in the evening. The row of iron beads is green in the moonlight. It is very eye-catching and can also be trained.

The basic skills of marksmanship are three words: stop, take and stab - stop the gun, take the gun, stab the gun, stop is defense, take is hard work, stab is attack!

Yan Liqiang has practiced three simple words and three basic movements for eight years, but he can't even get started.

Because Yan Liqiang has not built a foundation and is not a real warrior, practicing these things can only be regarded as practicing a shelf and appearance. In this era, a person does not build a foundation and become a real warrior. No matter how hard he tries, he does not really master a kung fu.

Like today, he was beaten down from the challenge arena by Hong Tao with iron sand palm. To tell the truth, Yan Liqiang really didn't expect Hong Tao to practice iron sand palm at this time, because Hong Tao, like him, hasn't built a foundation and is not a warrior. Iron sand palm needs a lot of time to practice. It's unwise to spend a lot of time on these external Kung Fu at this time. As the saying goes, practice Kung Fu first, If you practice boxing again, you'll get nowhere if you don't practice Kung Fu. Boxing is external and Kung Fu is internal. If you don't practice Kung Fu, you have to build a foundation. Although these external skills look powerful now, they only show off for a while. In the end, they are a mirror, a water and a moon. It's hard to last long, and it's impossible to enter the house.

The time for a person to build a foundation is limited. God doesn't give you too much time to waste. Basically, if a person hasn't built a foundation before the age of 25, his hope of building a foundation in his life is very slim, that is, he has no hope of advanced warrior in his life. Just like Yan Dechang's Apprentice Zhou Tiezhu, when he was twenty-five years old, he was still far from building the foundation. He completely lost the possibility of building the foundation and came to learn a survival skill with Yan Dechang.

In the last life on earth, samurai seemed to be everywhere. Many people call themselves Samurai as long as they casually practice fighting for a few years, be strong, hang a knife on their body and dare to kill people. Such samurai, by the standards of the world, is completely nonsense.

The standard of becoming a samurai in the world must be to build a foundation, but to build a foundation, you have to pass three levels. These three levels are more difficult than one level. Each level has a very objective and verifiable standard. Only those who pass these three levels and complete the foundation building are qualified to call themselves samurai. Only martial arts can really cultivate all kinds of Kung Fu and combat skills to a high level.

Yan Liqiang has been practicing martial arts since childhood. He has been sweating in this small courtyard every day, but he has not even passed the first of these three levels.

The first of these three levels is Zha Ma Bu, which is the basic skill that any martial artist must pass.

Zama step seems simple, everyone can, but in fact, there may not be one in 100 people who can pass this level.

What is a pass? You must combine your waist with your horse, put your whole body out from your feet, and tie a horse under your body before you pass. As long as you pass this level, if you really want to fight with boxing and foot Kung Fu, a person can get away from most people with one gear and ten.
