boom!
Accompanied by the deafening explosion, Li Fengnian's explosion experiment was once again a complete success.
This time he tripled the amount of medicine, and the huge impact directly shattered the surrounding rocks.
Li Ershi slumped down on the ground looking at the gunpowder smoke that had not completely dissipated, and kept muttering words about gods appearing.
"Well, this experiment was very successful. I think with such power, even the black blind man on the mountain will have to leave his life behind!"
Li Fengnian was extremely satisfied, and then looked down at his father.
Last time he told his father about gunpowder, but Li Ershi didn't believe his nonsense at all, so the father and son made a bet.
Li Ershi was responsible for going to the city to purchase sufficient raw materials, and then asked Li Fengnian to make gunpowder. If successful, Li Ershi promised that Li Fengnian would take his own route in the future, and he would never interfere.
But on the contrary, Li Fengnian will honestly return to school and continue studying.
And now that Li Fengnian's bomb exploded successfully again, it meant that he had won.
"Son, who taught you this kind of craftsmanship? How could he teach you this kind of means to make a living? Could it be that you sold yourself to him?"
After a long time, Li Ershi came back to his senses and asked his son worriedly.
He has been through hardships for a long time, and the most unbelievable thing is that luck will come to him one day. It would be great if he has no illness or disaster in his life. How dare he expect such good things?
"Don't worry, Dad, as long as my father and son don't expose the secret of gunpowder, there will be no hidden dangers in this matter!" Li Fengnian said confidently.
….
With the help of gunpowder, Li Fengnian and his son entered the mountains with confidence and were no longer afraid of the threats of tigers, leopards, jackals and other large beasts. Compared to other hunters, they dare to go deeper into the forest to hunt more prey.
They filled the bamboo tubes with gunpowder, and then tied the bamboo tubes to the arrows. As long as the arrow hit, the prey would die.
Even if it misses, the aftermath of the bomb explosion will shock the prey.
The father and son cooperated tacitly, and the harvest after two months was extremely rich. Let alone small animals such as robed hares, even Heixiazi, Li Fengnian and his son killed three of them!
In just two months, the two of them actually earned forty-five taels of silver!
Li Ershi wouldn't have dared to think about this before. You have to know that in the past year, he couldn't even save a tael of silver. It would be good if he didn't owe money every year. How could he dare to ask for more?
But now he never imagined that this money could come so easily!
It’s just that it’s mid-November now, and winter is about to begin. It is no longer suitable to go hunting in the mountains at this time, because once it snows heavily, people trapped in the mountains are likely to freeze to death.
Reluctantly, Li Fengnian and his son stopped hunting with unsatisfied intentions, preparing to rest for the winter and fight again next year!
Now that the Li family has a small fortune, and the most important thing is that they have a stable way to make money, Li Ershi naturally agreed to Li Feng's request to go to the city to learn martial arts.
….
Li Fengnian walked around the city and visited seven or eight martial arts gyms in the city. After careful consideration, he finally came to a martial arts gym called Iron Claw Gate.
He chose the iron claw door not because he liked it, but because it was cheap.
The tuition at other martial arts schools costs twenty taels of silver, but Iron Claw Sect only costs fifteen taels!
Ever since, Li Fengnian came here.
After paying the money, under the leadership of a senior fellow from the martial arts school, the registration was completed quickly.
"Junior brother, this is the eldest brother! Master has been away for a while, and all matters of the martial arts school, big and small, are taken care of by the eldest brother."
"I've met senior brother!" Li Fengnian saluted respectfully, and then raised his head to take a closer look at the senior brother in front of him.
I saw that the man in front of me was eight feet tall, with a very strong build, and the muscles around his body were as strong as steel piles and iron pillars. Just by looking at it, you can feel the power contained in its body.
What attracted Li Fengnian's attention the most were his hands. The finger bones were unusually thick and could even be said to be a bit ferocious. The nails were all black and unlike ordinary people's light white and transparent nails. Under the sunlight, they even reflected a metallic luster. .
At first glance, they look like a group of ferocious beasts wearing human skin.
"Yes, you dare to look directly at me. You have a good character. But if you want to succeed in learning, it is not enough to rely on your character. The most important thing is talent.
I hope you can get started, young man! "The senior brother nodded, knowing that he knew this little guy who had just joined the martial arts gym.
"Go ahead and gather at the martial arts arena tomorrow. Someone will explain the essence of Iron Claw Kung Fu to you!"
The senior brother said lightly, then ignored Li Fengnian and the other two, and just grabbed an iron ball the size of a basketball from the ground and started practicing.
"Okay senior brother, then junior brother, please retreat." The senior brother who led the way said respectfully.
Seeing this, Li Fengnian also quickly bowed and resigned.
"Junior brother Fengnian, please introduce yourself. My name is Qin Chuan. If you encounter any difficulties in the martial arts gym in the future, you can come to me. Now I will take you to the dormitory." After leaving the senior brother's house, the senior brother who led the way said politely Li Fengnian said.
"That will cause trouble for Senior Brother Qin in the future." Li Fengnian said with gratitude.
The dormitory is provided free of charge by the martial arts school, and they also provide three meals a day, which is very humane.
It was already dark when Li Fengnian collected his luggage and settled in his apartment.
There are more than ten beds in the dormitory, but the house is not very big and seems very crowded.
Fortunately, there are only four people staying in this dormitory now, including Li Fengnian.
The tuition fee of fifteen taels a month is not something that ordinary people can afford, so it is reasonable to be dissatisfied with the dormitory.
Almost all the apprentices who live in dormitories come from the countryside. As for the other students in the martial arts hall, they are almost all from the city's rich families and have no use for the free dormitories in the martial arts hall.
"Hey, there's a new junior brother here. Which village are you from?" When the three people in the dormitory saw a new person joining them, they all greeted them enthusiastically.
"Taoli Village."
….
The four of them chatted for a while, said each other's names, and then rested after a brief acquaintance.
Early the next morning, Li Fengnian woke up early and went to the cafeteria to eat with his senior brothers.
The food in the canteen is pretty good, and the staple food is actually white rice! The dishes also had some meat and diced meat, which Li Fengnian could only eat during the Chinese New Year in the past.
It was a tuition fee of fifteen taels a month. Li Fengnian suddenly felt that the money was well spent.
But he ignored the purchasing power of one tael of silver. One tael of silver was worth two large coins, which was a full two thousand copper coins. Just buying rice can cost nearly three hundred kilograms. Fifteen taels of silver could feed their family for several years!
Therefore, being poor in literature and rich in military affairs is not just talk. Many people cannot even afford the tuition fees for the first step.
After breakfast, Li Fengnian followed the senior brothers to the martial arts field to prepare to officially start practicing martial arts.
The person responsible for teaching Li Fengnian and several other new disciples martial arts was a capable senior named Yang.
But this Senior Brother Yang was very aloof, always looking at everyone with a stinky face as if he owed him a hundred taels of silver, and just told the steps and precautions of practicing Iron Claw according to the script. The content he explained was even more obscure and difficult to understand, even for Li Fengnian, who had lived in two lifetimes, it was somewhat difficult to understand.
"Senior brother, I can't understand this move. Can you..."
"Did I give you permission to speak?"
A disciple wanted to ask about his doubts about the moves, but before he could finish speaking, he was severely scolded by the senior brother named Yang.
The disdain and anger in his eyes immediately made the young disciple cry.
…
"Why, we have paid the tuition after all, and what he said is not good, but we are not allowed to ask if there is anything we don't understand?"
At noon, in the cafeteria, several new disciples gathered at the dining table and denounced indignantly.
"That's right, looking at Senior Brother Yang's face, you might think we owe him a lot of money!"
…
Li Fengnian did not discuss the matter with them, but ate his meal in silence, carefully recalling the moves of the Iron Claw Kung Fu in his mind.
As for why Senior Brother Yang's teaching attitude is so bad, he actually understands it.
Thinking about it from his perspective, if he was a formal disciple of a martial arts school and was arranged by his master to teach, thus delaying his own practice time, he would be extremely reluctant.
What's more, the people they teach are temporary apprentices who have left at some point, and of course they won't look good on them.
All he can do is memorize the moves silently, and then study hard and practice hard, striving to become a true disciple of the martial arts school as soon as possible, so that he can learn the true skills.
After lunch, Li Fengnian did not choose to take a lunch break. Instead, he came to the martial arts field and began to exercise his muscles.
This has to be said about the benefits of resurrecting youth again. In his previous life, Li Fengnian was emptied of alcohol and sex. His whole body became weak without a nap at noon, and his heart was beating extremely fast as if it was about to explode at any time.
But now he has returned to his youth. Even if he does not have sufficient nutritional supplies, he is full of energy, so he goes directly to the martial arts field to practice without taking a break at noon.
Iron Claw Kung Fu mainly trains the hands, but it does not mean that other parts of the body do not need to be worked on. On the contrary, only when the overall strength of the body increases, can the strength of the hands become stronger!
The Iron Claw Sect also taught ordinary disciples like them a very popular pile technique. After long-term practice, it can have the effect of invigorating the blood and strengthening the muscles and bones.
At noon, the sun shines brightly, bringing a little warmth to the increasingly cold weather. Li Fengnian stood in the martial arts arena and stood up awkwardly like the wooden figure in front of him.
It's miraculous to say that with this simple movement and specific breathing, Li Fengnian was sweating profusely in just one cup of tea, and his breath gradually became a little unstable. His physical fatigue was like running for a few times. Like a thousand meters.
After a few more breaths, Li Fengnian could no longer hold on and collapsed on the ground.
But facing the cold ground, Li Fengnian didn't feel a chill. His boiling blood was providing him with heat.
"This achievement is indeed well-deserved, and the money is well spent!" Although Li Fengnian was extremely tired at this time, his eyes were so bright.
"Get up quickly, you're sweating and it's cold. Lying on the ground could kill you. I suggest you go back home immediately and change clothes, and then drink a bowl of Liuyang Powder to replenish your exhausted energy."
At this time, the senior brother named Yang came over from nowhere. Although he was reluctant to teach these little guys how to practice martial arts, he would not miss any of the precautions that should be mentioned.
"Thank you, senior brother, for your advice!" Li Fengnian said very gratefully.
This is the importance of a teacher. He can help students avoid detours and learn skills faster. The most important thing is to be able to guide students to avoid various dangers on the road of cultivation, so as not to train themselves to death.
If a martial arts novice accidentally gets a martial arts secret book, without the guidance of a master, he will most likely not be able to practice it, or even go crazy and die!
Li Fengnian sat on the ground and calmed down for a long time, then returned to the dormitory and changed into clean clothes, and then went to the cafeteria to drink a bowl of Liuyang Powder.
"Ah? A bowl of Liuyang Powder costs one hundred coins!" Li Fengnian was surprised when he heard the price of a bowl of Liuyang Powder.
"The martial arts school is already very kind by letting you eat and live for free. How can we let you drink for free if the medicinal materials are precious? One hundred coins is already very cheap. You can't buy it even if you put it out for two hundred coins." The pharmacist from the martial arts school chuckled. smiled.
"Okay, I'll have a bowl." Li Fengnian nodded. He had no energy now. If he didn't want to waste a good afternoon, he had no choice but to do this.
Of course, if the Six Yang Powder is not effective, there will be no next time.
