"A scholar has six arts, archery, imperial skills, swordsmanship, elixirs, arithmetic, and literature and history. Those who have all six arts can travel all over the world and do whatever they want. Archery is the most powerful weapon for killing on the battlefield, and imperial arts are for riding and riding. If you master the art of martial arts, you can travel thousands of miles. No matter on the battlefield or off the battlefield, if you don't know how to control the arts, it will be difficult to move forward. Swordsmanship is the way of fighting. As the saying goes, you can't be a warrior without a sword. A warrior can master a sword. Having a weapon that can kill enemies at close range and defend yourself is the most basic requirement. Of course, here, swordsmanship only refers to it in general, and almost everyone practices it. Some people practice Qimen weapons, and they are also included in this list... "
On the podium of the large classroom of the Guoshu Hall, a gymnast was spitting on the podium and explaining today's course. The podium was in the middle of the classroom, and around the podium, there were rows of people. The seats and the entire large classroom of the Guoshu Hall are like a huge concert stage, which can easily accommodate thousands of people.
The master of this martial arts hall is an old man wearing a blue cloth. Yan Liqiang is no stranger to this old man, because this old man is the shopkeeper of Fu Yuanxiang, the largest drugstore on Sanyuan Street. In the past two months, Yan Liqiang has been more than I saw this old man once on Sanyuan Street.
Many of the masters of the Guoshu Hall have other livelihoods and professions besides their status as masters. For example, Song Tianhao. Although the salary of a master is not low and is enough for ordinary people to live, many people , especially those who have the ability, will naturally not be satisfied with the lives of ordinary people. People need money everywhere to live in the world. For food, clothing, housing, transportation, favors, sex, wealth, buying a house and a home, it doesn’t cost money. Cultivation requires more money, and it’s not that the masters don’t need it. Immortals who eat the fireworks of the world also have to live, and it is normal to have other ways of making a living and making money.
Even someone as cool as Shi Changfeng was working part-time as a private teacher for the children of several wealthy families in Pingxi City outside the Guoshu Hall, not to mention others.
Yan Liqiang was sitting at the back of the classroom, with no one around, and next to the classroom window. Half of Yan Liqiang's mind was on the podium, listening to the lecturer's lecture, and the other half of his mind was wandering outside the window.
At this moment, snowflakes have begun to fall outside the window!
This was Yan Liqiang's first snowfall in this world. When he got up this morning, he saw that the entire Wansong Mountain was covered in white snow, and there was also a thick layer of snow in the yard where he rented.
Unconsciously, I have been in the Guoshu Hall for more than two months. Compared with a month ago, when all the freshmen were packed in every lecture, starting from last month, the freshmen have begun to choose courses, and their learning and cultivation have also improved. It is more targeted. Not all courses will come at once. For example, in today’s class, many freshmen who already have experience in this field or know what the lecturer is going to teach did not come. There were only more than 500 people sitting in the entire classroom. Among the more than 500 people, there were still a few faces who were students who had entered the Guoshu Hall before.
"How about we go to Jukelou to eat mutton at noon today? The weather is perfect for a mutton soup pot. I'll treat you..." Shi Dafeng, who was wearing a gorgeous silver fox fur quilt, sat next to Yan Liqiang and whispered to Yan Liqiang. Even as he spoke, his mind was not entirely on the classroom.
"I'm going to the Governor's Mansion this afternoon..." Yan Liqiang replied quietly.
"Ah, I almost forgot..." Shi Dafeng patted his head, then looked at Yan Liqiang with envious eyes, stretched out a hand and poked Yan Liqiang's armpit, salivating, "Remember next time it will be the Governor. If you want to recruit more soldiers, please recommend them to me, I’m not bad at all... "
"I haven't seen the Lord Warlord in person for a month. Do you think I, a little follower who just brushes horses, can speak in front of the Lord Warlord?"
"Anyway, it's better if you say it than if you don't say it at all..."
"Listen to the class, listen to the class..." Yan Liqiang smiled, stopped talking, and listened to the class attentively.
In the past two months, he was often with Shi Dafeng. He went to the governor's house every seven days. He did not hide the fact that he was recruited as a soldier by the governor. Shi Dafeng already knew the cause and effect. Regarding Yan Liqiang's fate, Shi Dafeng except Envy is still envy. It was also during these two months that Yan Liqiang's daily life was simple and fulfilling. He basically lived a two-point and one-line life between the martial arts hall and the rented courtyard. He never saw the revenge of the Saudi people. Yan Liqiang They all gradually put this matter behind them.
When practicing the Yijin Marrow Cleansing Meridian this morning, Yan Liqiang felt that the joints and joints all over his body began to heat up, and the tendons and veins in his body felt numb and numb like an electric shock. The occurrence of this sign means that he has passed away. The stretch of muscles and bones is not far away.
"... What we are going to talk about in today's class is a simple self-help method using elixirs in the Six Arts. When you are injured by a sword in the wild and the wound bleeds, and you don't have the corresponding medicine on you, even if you bring it What should you do when you have money but can’t buy our Fu Yuanxiang’s hemostatic pill!”
Hearing that the old man did not forget to advertise his drugstore at this time, the students listening to the class burst out with good-natured laughter.
As the old man on the stage said, he picked up a pot of plant on the ground, put it on the podium, and explained to everyone, "Everyone first remember this kind of grass. This kind of grass grows in many places in the wild. You can see it everywhere. It is called black leek. In some places, it is also called black bamboo, black fern, rock cypress, and cocktail grass. It has various names, but its appearance remains the same. This kind of grass is usually one meter tall. About a foot long, the rhizome is short and runs horizontally. The leaves have small reddish-brown scales. They often grow together in clusters. The petioles are a bit like rice stalks. This kind of thing is found in tidal places, such as streams and grass. Or it grows in the crevices of rocks, usually at the foot of mountains. If you are injured and see this kind of black chive, you can pick it off, take the part above the rhizome, and put it in your mouth. Chew it, apply it on the wound, and wrap it with a cloth to stop bleeding in an instant. It has miraculous effects on all traumatic bleeding. It is used as the main raw material in many sore medicines and hemostatic medicines... "
…
This class lasted quite a lot of time, almost more than an hour. After the teacher finished teaching about several herbal medicines, many people rushed up to the get out of class and took a closer look at the several herbal medicines placed on the podium.
Yan Liqiang and Shi Dafeng also gathered around. After remembering the appearance of the several herbs, they left the classroom. Although the content of today's lesson was not deep, it was also very useful.
When I walked out of the classroom, the mountains and forests outside the classroom were all white, and the snow was still falling.
"Li Qiang, where are you going now?"
"I'm going back to the small courtyard, and I'm almost going to be a groom!" Yan Liqiang replied.
"Then let's go back together. It's too cold today, and I don't want to bother, otherwise I'll be sweating all over, which will be uncomfortable. That guy Shen Teng, I don't know where he started a small stove again today. He was holding back his energy and thinking. I want to catch up with you..."
Yan Liqiang smiled and shook his head. Last month, Shen Teng took the initiative to ask him to spar. He and Shen Teng fought again on a stage in the martial arts hall. At this time, Shen Teng fought for the second time a few months later. Teng was well prepared, made great progress, and became more flexible and versatile, but he still lost to Yan Liqiang and was defeated again by Yan Liqiang in the ring. From then on, Yan Liqiang did not see Shen Teng for several days.
I heard that the Shen family has a house in Pingxi City, so Shen Teng does not live near Sanyuan Street, but lives in the Shen family's house. He only sees them occasionally. Yan Liqiang and Shi Dafeng are not so close to each other on weekdays. .
The two people were talking and prepared to walk down the mountain, but before they walked a few steps, Yan Liqiang saw seven people in the pavilion not far away. One of them pointed towards him, and then the seven people They walked out of the pavilion together and walked towards themselves.
These seven people were all new to Yan Liqiang, but they were all a bit older. They were all at least eighteen, nineteen, or twenty years old. They looked like they were veterans of the martial arts academy.
The mountain path in the Guoshu Museum is not wide, but it can also allow four or five people to walk side by side without affecting each other. However, when the seven people walked over, they completely blocked the left and right sides of the road in front of Yan Liqiang and the others. , and as those people walked along, their eyes were always fixed on Yan Liqiang's face, looking menacing.
Based on his feeling, Yan Liqiang knew that these people were coming for him and had bad intentions.
"Be careful..." Shi Dafeng, who was next to him, warned gently, and still walked towards those people with Yan Liqiang.
The two sides suddenly stopped two meters apart.
"Please give way..." Yan Liqiang said calmly.
"Are you Yan Liqiang?" A young man of about 20 years old standing among the seven people sneered, and then looked at Yan Liqiang from head to toe with critical and contemptuous eyes, "Sure enough, it is just like the rumors. Arrogant!"
"People who come from such a small place have never seen much of the world. They probably think that they can make a name for themselves in the Pingxi County Martial Arts Hall, and eventually become a warrior. When they return to the countryside, they can show off their power in front of a bunch of country bumpkin neighbors, and then To work in a small government office is to reach the pinnacle of life!" Another young man next to him said coldly, and then several others laughed.
