Yan Liqiang was stunned, or rather, completely frightened.
I remember that the doctor in the county clinic said that my injuries were just the blood stasis left between my chest and abdomen from being hit by the iron sand palm. As long as the blood stasis slowly dissipated, my body would recover.
Feeling the sense of unobstructed space between his chest and abdomen, Yan Liqiang vigorously performed two chest expansion and punching movements, and found that he did not feel any discomfort between his chest and abdomen, and no longer had the tearing pain that he had experienced before when doing the same movements.
Looking at the pool of black blood on the ground, an idea popped into Yan Liqiang's mind. Could it be that this blood was the blood that remained between his chest and abdomen after he was hit by Hong Tao's iron sand palm? He vomited it out just like that, and his injury was healed
This is so unbelievable, it's like a dream. I remember the doctor said it would take at least one or two months for my injury to heal. How could it be so fast
At this moment, Yan Liqiang was indescribably shocked. However, no matter how unbelievable everything seemed, the feeling from his body and the black blood he vomited out told Yan Liqiang clearly that everything that had just happened in front of him was real.
Just as Yan Liqiang was in a daze, the door to his yard was suddenly knocked.
“Boom boom… boom boom…”
At this moment, the sound coming from his ears sounded like someone beating a drum in Yan Liqiang's ears, which made Yan Liqiang shudder instantly. He subconsciously went to open the door, but just after taking two steps, he turned around and saw the blood he spit on the ground. He hurriedly stepped back, shoveled the ground a few times with his feet, and got up some soil to completely cover the blood.
After doing all this, he took a deep breath, trying his best to make his expression look normal, then he came to the gate of the courtyard and opened it.
A round-faced maid in her forties was standing outside the door, holding a food box in her hand. Yan Liqiang had seen this maid before last night. She was one of the servants in the artisan camp.
"Master Yan, I've brought you breakfast..." The round-faced maid handed over the lunch box with a warm smile, "Master Yan, when you've finished eating, just leave the lunch box at the door and I'll collect it!"
"Okay, thank you!" Yan Liqiang smiled and took the lunch box. "By the way, you don't have to deliver it tomorrow morning?"
Hearing Yan Liqiang say this, the maid immediately showed a trace of panic on her face, "Ah, could it be that Master Yan is not satisfied with what we made?"
"No, I'll go to the cafeteria to eat with everyone tomorrow morning. There's no need to bring food to me!"
"But the camp supervisor said..."
"It's okay, I'll talk to Uncle Qian!"
"Oh well… "
Although he could just sit in the yard and wait for others to serve him, Yan Liqiang didn't want to do that, because he was not a young master and was not that pampered. Moreover, based on his experience in his previous life, such behavior was tantamount to "being out of touch with the masses", which was not a good thing. He came to Huanglong County to avoid disaster, and there was no need to pretend here. Although he had Qian Su's protection, it was the wisest choice for him to blend in with everyone in the craftsmen's camp and follow the mass line.
After the maid left, Yan Liqiang took the food box to the stone table under the tree in the yard and opened it. A fragrant aroma wafted into his nose.
In the lunch box was a large bowl of millet and lean meat porridge, a plate of dried tofu, a plate of pickles, and two eggs. When Yan Liqiang saw these things, his stomach growled.
I don’t know if it’s because he just practiced martial arts or because the food made from these authentic ingredients that could be considered special green food in Yan Liqiang’s previous life is delicious, but Yan Liqiang feels that his appetite is particularly good today and he can eat a lot. In just a short while, he has eaten up everything in the food box.
After eating these things, Yan Liqiang originally wanted to continue studying and experiencing the book "Illustrated Explanation of the Internal Power of Yi Jin Xi Sui" in his head in the yard, but he changed his mind and realized that he is now a fourteen-year-old boy. The nature of teenagers at this age is to be active rather than quiet. If he closed the door and stayed in the yard all day, it would make people feel abnormal.
If it weren't for the shocking experience before, Yan Liqiang might not care too much about whether he was normal in the eyes of others, but precisely because of the previous experience, Yan Liqiang had to make himself an inconspicuous normal person in the eyes of others.
Yan Liqiang put the lunch box at the door, walked out of the yard, and went straight to the forest behind the craftsmen's camp, ready to go for a stroll in the mountains.
Most of the forest is ash forest, and a small part is pine and other trees. Each ash tree in the forest stands upright like a sentry on duty. Don't underestimate these ash trees. In this craftsman camp, these ash trees are the most important military supplies, because the trunks of these ash trees are the materials for making spear barrels, and the spear is one of the most important weapons and equipment in the army of this era. This ash forest is related to the supply of the most important weapons and equipment for the soldiers of the Pingxi County Governor's Office. It can be said that the Huanglong Craftsman Camp exists because of this ash forest.
The ash forest is taken care of by special people who prune the branches and leaves and prevent insects, ensuring that there are no insect holes or scars on the trunk of each ash tree. Each ash tree stands upright like a gun, and the trunks grow strong and dense.
The air in the forest was very fresh, full of the spiritual energy and vitality of the forest. Yan Liqiang walked slowly in the forest, observing the terrain as he walked. After about twenty minutes, he finally climbed to an open area near the top of the mountain.
This area is not large, only about 30 to 40 square meters, with green grass on the ground and trees that are as thick as a man's embrace all around. Behind it is a cliff hanging down from the top of the mountain, with a stream beside it, and in front of him is the hillside leading up the mountain. At the bottom of the hillside is a yard of the craftsmen camp. From here, Yan Liqiang can easily see the situation below the mountain, and if anyone wants to come up, he can also see it clearly, but people at the bottom of the mountain and in the distance cannot find him.
When Yan Liqiang arrived here, the sun had just completely jumped out of the ground from the east, the earth's yang energy was rising, and the warm sunlight had just covered the ash forest on the hillside. This vast area, dotted with light and shadow, was full of vitality. It was a good place to practice martial arts.
After climbing the mountain for a while, the food was almost digested. Yan Liqiang stretched his body and limbs here, and found that the depressed feeling between chest and abdomen was completely gone, which gave him confidence. After stretching his body and limbs and standing firmly, Yan Liqiang took a few deep breaths, then withdrew his right foot to the right rear, took a left bow stance, and moved his right palm to the right, upward, and forward to draw an arc to the front of his body, with the palm facing up. At the same time, he bent his left arm at the elbow and raised his right palm to the side of his waist, taking the starting posture of the empty step and shining palm. His whole demeanor instantly became focused.
After a few breaths, Yan Liqiang used a series of tiger-roaring punches.
Tiger Roaring Chain Fist is a basic boxing style that is widely spread in the Han Empire. Almost everyone knows it. The popularity of this boxing style is comparable to the "The Most Dazzling National Style" that was loved by the square dance aunties in the previous life. Yan Dechang's father, Zhou Tiezhu, knows this boxing style. Yan Liqiang's boxing style was taught by Yan Dechang. This boxing style is short and easy to learn and practice. It can not only help learners lay the foundation of boxing, but also has a good effect of stretching muscles and strengthening the body. Although this boxing style has few movements, it has strict requirements on the opponent, eyes, body, and footwork. Among the teenagers in Liuhe Town, at least nine out of ten people have practiced this boxing style since childhood.
On that day in the ring, Yan Liqiang also used this set of Tiger Roaring Fists to fight Hong Tao. This was also the only set of boxing he knew.
Yan Liqiang is very familiar with this set of boxing that he has been immersed in for many years.
At the beginning, Yan Liqiang's movements were a little slow. Gradually, as Yan Liqiang found that he did not feel any discomfort in his body when practicing boxing, and it was exactly the same as before, his movements became bigger and faster, one move after another, and he fought with great vigor.
By the time he finished the 32-style Tiger Roaring Punch, Yan Liqiang's forehead was already slightly sweaty, but he finally confirmed that his injuries had indeed healed completely.
I only practiced the Zhengshen diagram in "The Illustrated Explanation of the Internal Power of Yi Jin Xi Sui" for a whole morning and I got such an effect. I wonder what will happen if I insist on practicing "The Illustrated Explanation of the Internal Power of Yi Jin Xi Sui" several times every day
Just do it when you think of it!
With this in mind, Yan Liqiang started practicing the first posture of the Zhengshen Gong technique - Huan Gong Zhengshi.
This time, after practicing the twenty-seven postures of the upright posture, Yan Liqiang did not repeat them again, but entered the practice of the side-by-side posture. The side-by-side posture has eight postures, namely, the one-handed sky-lifting posture, the flip-handed sword-drawing posture, the bow-drawing posture, the straight-line shoulder posture, the white crane-flashing wings posture, the offering pestle-unifying posture, the face-up posture, and the last one, the arched back posture...
After the side-body illustration, we move on to the half-body illustration, followed by the bending illustration, the folding illustration, the twisting illustration, the falling illustration, the turning illustration, the walking illustration, the sitting illustration, the standing illustration, the lying illustration…
Among these illustrations of various bodies, some have more than twenty postures, while others have only seven or eight. Each posture is ingenious and different.
I just practiced all twelve body diagrams and almost two hours have passed.
Some of the movements in this first round of complete practice were still a bit awkward and incoherent, but even so, after practicing for the first time, Yan Liqiang only felt that he was more energetic, and there seemed to be an endless vitality in his body...
After practicing again for almost two hours, Yan Liqiang felt that he was a hundred times more energetic and his body felt more relaxed than ever before, with even a breeze under his armpits.
Originally, Yan Liqiang wanted to continue practicing here, but thinking that lunch time at the craftsman camp was almost up, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he resisted the urge to continue practicing and quickly went down the mountain...
After lunch, in the afternoon, Yan Liqiang walked around the courtyards in the craftsman camp, then returned to the mountain and began to practice the various exercises in "Illustrated Explanation of the Internal Power of Yi Jin Xi Sui". In the evening, he went down the mountain again, and after lunch, he returned to his own courtyard to continue practicing.
In just one day, after practicing over and over again, Yan Liqiang became proficient and had completely mastered the movements, breathing and other essentials of this set of exercises...
