Yan Liqiang's reaction left everyone speechless. They looked at each other, not knowing how to start.
"Everyone please disperse first and return to your respective positions. Please do not make public what happened in the yard tonight to avoid unnecessary complications..." Qian Su was the first to speak. He turned around and said to the crowd watching in the yard with a serious expression.
Just now, when he discovered that the red light in the yard was not fire, Qian Su had already asked people to calm down the craftsmen who had gotten up to put out the fire. So now, only a small group of more than 50 soldiers from the craftsman camp were gathered here. The number of people was not mixed. These soldiers were all Qian Su's subordinates, so naturally they did not dare to go against Qian Su's wishes.
"Don't worry, Camp Commander. We know what to do!" The flag officer of the squad nodded to Qian Su, then looked at Yan Liqiang with envy, turned around and gave a loud speech, "Those on duty tonight continue to be on duty, and those not on duty go back to the barracks to rest. What you just saw in this yard is strictly prohibited from being discussed or leaked. If you violate it, you will be punished by military law. Everyone, listen to my orders, turn around, and go..."
In the blink of an eye, all the soldiers holding buckets and swords left the courtyard where Yan Liqiang was. When they left, the officer with the small flag closed the door of the courtyard again.
"Uncle Qian, this... what's going on, why are you here?" Yan Liqiang scratched his head and looked at Qian Su in confusion.
Qian Su explained the reason why everyone came here just now, and then looked at Yan Liqiang with a strange look, "Don't you know that you have just passed the horse-stepping test, and you have shown signs of passing the test?"
"What, I passed the horse stance!" Yan Liqiang was stunned for a moment, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He was immersed in the horse stance state just now and had no idea what was happening outside his body. He just felt that the state just now had never appeared before and it was very comfortable. Now his whole body was full of strength. This situation was the first time for Yan Liqiang, and he was still a little confused about the state. However, he did not expect that in that state just now, he had quietly passed the horse stance and completed the first step of foundation building.
"Whether you have passed the test or not, you will know if you try it now..."
After hearing what Qian Su said, Yan Liqiang certainly wanted to give it a try. The phenomenon of passing the Mabu Pass would only appear once, and after passing this level, that kind of phenomenon would never appear again. However, there were many ways to quickly test whether he had passed this level.
Yan Liqiang didn't do anything. He just stood there, pulled in the little toe of one foot, pressed it against the ground, and then released it suddenly. It was just such a simple move, but Yan Liqiang felt a sound at the occipital point at the back of his head. In his ears, it was as if he heard someone hitting a drum hard. He could clearly hear a "dong" sound.
Clutching the toes and smelling the drum - this is the easiest way to test whether a person has passed the horse stance test, because for those who have passed this test, the large tendons in the legs are completely opened up, and the strength can flow through the whole body, especially the Shaoyang meridian of the foot, which extends from the toes to the head. In this way, when the toes are instantly contracted and released, the Shaoyang meridian of the foot vibrates, and a sound like beating a drum can be heard in one's ears.
To many people, this drumbeat was a celebratory drum for laying a solid foundation for martial arts practice.
Listening to the clear drumbeats, and feeling the new sensations and strength in his feet and body, Yan Liqiang punched the air. The strength from his legs and feet was immediately transferred to his fist, making this ordinary punch suddenly have extraordinary power and speed. It made a boom in the air, and the power was many times greater than his usual boxing practice. On the day when he competed with Hong Tao in the National Martial Arts Academy, if Yan Liqiang could have the current fighting power, what would Hong Tao be afraid of even if he practiced Iron Sand Palm
Yan Liqiang's face showed an ecstatic look, because in this ordinary punch, he suddenly experienced again the unstoppable feeling when he was riding a rhino horse at home and using the horse's momentum to shoot - it seemed as if there was really a horse running under him.
“Haha, I passed the horse stance test, I passed the horse stance test, I passed the first stage of building the foundation to become a warrior…” Unable to suppress his inner excitement, Yan Liqiang jumped up in the yard, dancing with joy, happier than if he had won the lottery.
Whether for his previous life or this life, this was the first time that he personally experienced the mystery and charm of martial arts practice, so excitement was inevitable.
Most people can get excited for a long time when they see their game characters level up, let alone feeling and experiencing their own level up in real life
Qian Su waited until Yan Liqiang slowly calmed down before he told Yan Liqiang about the auspicious signs that had happened when he passed the Mabu Pass just now. He curiously asked Yan Liqiang if he had practiced some secret techniques.
Yan Liqiang shook his head, "My family did buy a rhino horse to practice riding and understand the secrets of horse stance, but I don't know why this happened when I passed the horse stance test this time!"
Qian Su thought about it and shook his head. He was familiar with Yan Dechang, who was just a blacksmith. Naturally, he could not have any profound skills or secrets. The same went for Yan Liqiang. The Yan family could not even afford to find a famous teacher for Yan Liqiang. If the Yan family had any extraordinary skills or secrets, they probably would not have to stay in Liuhe Town all these years. If Yan Liqiang had practiced such a powerful secret method all these years, he would not have failed so badly in the preliminary examination of the county martial arts and had to seek refuge in Huanglong County.
"I never thought that you, Li Qiang, are gifted with extraordinary talents. You are actually a rare martial arts prodigy who can break through in adversity..." Qian Su looked at Yan Liqiang with a look of discovery. "Before, I gave you the Nine Palaces Wind Shadow Step and wanted you to be patient and wait until you passed the Horse Stance before practicing. It was also an encouragement to you. I didn't expect that in just a short while, you passed the Horse Stance so amazingly!"
"Uncle Qian, thank you for the compliment. Actually, I don't know what's going on..." Yan Liqiang smiled foolishly.
"That's what a genius is. He can do things that others can't imagine naturally without any effort!" Qian Su said this and hesitated for a moment. "No one in the Artisan Camp will talk nonsense about what happened today. You just stay here and I will send someone to inform your father tomorrow that you have passed the Mabu Pass. Let him be happy too. As for the details of the future, whether you should return to Liuhe Town now or not, your father should bring a message to you. We'll talk then!"
Yan Liqiang nodded. He also wanted to inform his father of the news so that his father would be happy too.
"Now that you have passed the Ma Bu test, you are closer to building your foundation. Now you are far ahead of people of the same age and have a bright future. At this time, your strength has improved by leaps and bounds, but you must be more careful not to slack off, and not to play around, especially when it comes to matters between men and women. You must be more careful. Before completing the foundation building, you must not ruin your future. The reason why many people who have passed the Ma Bu test finally stopped is that they did not hold on to this hurdle at this time, and they were greedy for temporary enjoyment, which ended up ruining their lives!" Qian Su explained to Yan Liqiang with a serious face.
Seeing Qian Su's sincere reminder, Yan Liqiang was also somewhat moved. He nodded vigorously, "Uncle Qian, I know!"
"That's good. I'm going back now. You can have some rest..."
…
After Qian Su left, the courtyard became quiet again. Yan Liqiang stayed alone in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon and stars in the sky, his heart was beating fast, and he couldn't calm down for a long time...
After what happened today, everyone in this craftsman camp would probably think that he was some gifted genius in cultivation. But in fact, only Yan Liqiang knew that his own qualifications had nothing to do with genius at all.
Everything comes from that secret book.
Being able to pass the Ma Bu test so quickly, the only thing that appeared in Yan Liqiang’s mind at this moment was a sentence from the book - "If you can be clear and empty, there will be no obstacles; if you can shed and change, there will be no hindrances." Without obstacles, the journey will naturally be smooth, and naturally "there will be a foundation for advancement on the Tao."
…
He was an ordinary person in his previous life, and he was also an ordinary person in this life, but after tonight, he knew that his life would turn over a new leaf, and his life would no longer be ordinary.
Yan Liqiang had a magical feeling when he thought that the secret book in his mind was a second-hand book sold on the street for only ten or twenty yuan in his previous life.
In the previous life on Earth, almost all people lived in a crazy pursuit of material things. Donkey-brand bags, Apple phones, luxury cars, mansions, diamond jewelry, famous watches, and all kinds of expensive luxury goods dazzled people and made countless people fall into them.
However, the truly precious things, the secret methods of achieving enlightenment left by the Buddha, the heritage brought to China by Bodhidharma from afar, and the secret manuals of cultivation by Yue Fei and Li Jing, the peerless heroes and generals of the Chinese nation, are rarely sought after, even if they are free or nearly free.
A bag costs tens of thousands of dollars, a mobile phone costs thousands of dollars, a luxury car costs hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and countless people are chasing them crazily.
A peerless secret manual costs dozens of dollars, not even as much as a pack of cigarettes, but few people care...
This is the value choice in the eyes of most people in the previous life.
I don’t know whether to cry or laugh!
Perhaps, even God couldn't bear it anymore and let me be reborn in this world with this secret book.
At this moment, even if someone gave Yan Liqiang a city, mountains of gold and silver, Yan Liqiang would never sell this secret book, because at this moment, in Yan Liqiang's heart, this secret book was priceless, it was his future, it was everything.
"God, since you let me live again, you probably don't want me to be an ordinary person in this life..." Yan Liqiang had a strange smile on his face, looking up at the sky, muttering to himself, "Don't worry, I won't let you down!"
