Chapter 653: Long experience
Chapter 653: Long experience
Yixing Town is familiar with hosting the River God Festival.
The entire pier was crowded with people, as vast as a black tide; it was noisy but not chaotic.
After giving Xiang Fangsu a few words of persuasion, Liang Qu found Chen Zhaoan and went to the house of a village elder as agreed.
In the center of the courtyard, unmelted snow piled up in the corner, stained with a layer of dusty black edges, and the damp melted water seeped through the stone slabs, leaving watermarks.
The young men of Yixing City who were previously named on the roster gathered in the courtyard and whispered to each other.
"Stand still!"
Li Libo made a call.
Chen Jiechang, Li Libo, and Lin Songbao were also here. They were touching the bones of more than a dozen people in the venue to compare and register their ranks.
It's no big deal.
Previously, Liang Qu and Xu had agreed that part of Jiao Xiao's income would be transferred to the martial arts school, part of it as an interest-free loan, and the other part as a reward. The martial arts school would also accept several children from Yixing Town every three months to learn martial arts for free.
Yixing Town is now expanding, but the old people of Yixing City will definitely be given priority.
"I can't believe you're such a good kid. I heard you have a big appetite, so the food is not wasted."
Li Libo touched the person and wrote "good" on the list, patting him on the shoulder to encourage him.
The person being evaluated touched the back of his head and smiled innocently.
When the other young men heard this, they immediately gathered around him, wanting to see who was better. When they learned that it was Liang, they were both happy and sad.
"Whatever you do, look after yourself. What other people are like has nothing to do with you."
Li Libo gave the teenagers a few words of instruction and dispersed them. He waited until order was restored in the courtyard before running to catch the next person.
Bone reading requires special training, and ordinary amateur martial artists are unlikely to be able to do it. However, apart from the various types of martial bones that require a lot of reading of books to identify, ordinary bone reading is not difficult to learn.
These three people are the "assistant teachers" of the martial arts school on a daily basis. Every month, there are dozens of apprentices coming in and out, both male and female. They have seen a lot and have long understood the tricks of the trade.
The bones are hard, the spine is straight and the limbs are in good proportions, the joints are not stiff and have good toughness, and the blood circulation in the body is smooth without obvious stagnation, which can basically be rated as medium.
If on this basis, the limbs have any unique advantages, such as long arms, mantis legs, tiger back, bear waist, bee waist, crane shape, etc., as long as one of them is present, it can be rated as good.
If two or three advantageous points are concentrated, it is considered to be superior. If you practice the appropriate skills, your progress within the four levels can often be more than twice as fast as the average level.
On the contrary, those with crooked bones are born with insufficient qi and blood, so they can only be rated as inferior.
Judging from this.
Not to mention semi-martial bones and martial bones, the threshold for learning martial arts is really not too high.
As long as you don't have congenital defects, bad habits or even deformities, you can basically give it a try.
"Brother Li, Brother Chen, Brother Shui asked us to come here. Is there anything you want to do?"
The older one in the crowd asked.
"Good news!" Li Libo looked up, sighing, "You guys are in luck. If Brother Shui had gotten rich two years earlier, I might not have to pay for martial arts lessons."
Li Libo still remembers clearly the scene when Liang Qu came to him and asked which martial arts school in Pingyang Town was the best.
A blink of an eye.
All the young people of appropriate age in the whole town can be selected to learn martial arts, and it’s free!
Times have really changed.
Everyone heard the hidden meaning and became very curious.
"Brother Li, what do you know?"
Li Libo looked up.
"Songbao, how does the saying go? One person can cause unrest among the whole family."
Lin Songbao was speechless: "If one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit!"
"Yes, yes, yes, everyone will benefit. Mr. Liang is kind-hearted. From now on, every March, he will select a few good talents from our town and send them to Master Yang's martial arts hall to learn martial arts.
You guys have benefited from this opportunity. If any of you become successful in the future, don't forget the kindness of Master Liang, and don't forget your fellow villagers and your roots!
In the past, there were warriors in Yixing City. Hey, what happened? Once they found a way, they all moved to the town, and not a single hair was left!"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"No money?"
“No charge!”
"Brother Shui!"
Liang Qu and Chen Zhaoan crossed the threshold.
"Have you figured it all out?"
"Done."
Li Libo took the list from Chen Jiechang and Lin Songbao.
A summary of the three albums. Liang Qu briefly browsed through them.
There are several inferior ones, most of them are medium, there are two more good ones than inferior ones, and there are two superior ones in total.
After hearing what Li Libo said, everyone knew what to do, and they unconsciously straightened their heads and chests, hoping to be chosen.
"Brother Shui, sit down."
Lin Songbao brought a chair.
Liang Qu sat down with a majestic posture, and without any greeting, he called people forward one by one according to their bone-touching rank and asked them a few questions.
For example, what is your own situation, whether you can work hard in the martial arts school, and whether you have the patience.
With the "Ear Perception Method", it is not too difficult to tell whether a person is sincere or not.
It's basically the same as what Chen Zhaoan said.
Quite true.
Most of them are sons of farmers or fishermen. How could they know anything about disguise? They have been wearing open-crotch pants and peeing and playing in the mud since childhood. They know each other very well.
There is not much difference between in front of people and behind their backs.
The judgment is completed.
Taking into account age and bone-touching grades, Liang Qu selected the first batch of five disciples.
Of the five people selected, four looked excited.
Only one person looked nervous.
Li Libo's eyes were sharp: "Are you unhappy?"
"Brother Shui, my father is in poor health. He has been away from the martial arts school for three months, so there is no one to do the housework..."
Liang Qu looked at Lin Songbao.
Lin Songbao came closer and said, "Chen Asan's mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to him, which left her with a chronic illness. She gave birth to his second brother, but he died within two months. His father became ill from overwork, raising three children by himself, and his health has always been poor."
"What do you mean?"
Liang Qu glanced around, and the boys didn't dare to look directly at him and lowered their heads.
After the Benma martial artist opened his nine orifices, his temperament was very different from that of ordinary people, not to mention that Liang Qu had many legendary deeds, so ordinary villagers didn't even dare to look at him.
"Don't be discouraged if you are not selected. This is only the first batch. There will be a second, third and fourth batch later."
Say it.
Liang Qu used ink to outline and selected ten people in the second and third batches.
"It will be inconvenient for Chen Asan to learn martial arts. The ten of you can go and help out when you have time. Those who perform well will be given priority in the second batch, three months in advance."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the young people in the venue were excited.
Liang Qu was originally going to give a few taels of silver directly, but then he changed his mind and decided to try another approach.
With ten people helping him, Chen Asan felt less worried and kept thanking them. He would have almost kowtowed if Liang Qu hadn't stopped him.
"Man proposes, God disposes. When you go to the martial arts hall, you should put your heart into it."
"Brother Shui, don't worry!"
evening.
One after another, water beasts made a big circle and returned to Pingyang. When they saw the smell of blood on the pier, they shuddered.
Before the distribution of the sacrificial meat was finished at Shangrao Port, a large three-masted ship slowly approached the shore from west to east.
"A water!"
Yang Xu and others waved at the bow.
"First senior brother! Second senior brother!"
Liang Qu arrived at the pier and without waiting for the ship to dock, he took a step and jumped onto the deck.
Look around.
"Master, where is my wife?"
"Don't look for him, he hasn't come back yet." Xu Zishuai carried the bags and walked out of the cabin. "Master and his wife wrote to us and we know you are going to the capital. The eldest and second brothers have official business to attend to, so they can't keep us here for long. They let us come back first, and they will stay at Xu's house for the New Year and will be back in February."
"What about you?" Liang Qu stepped forward to lend a hand, "Aren't you going to stay in Huangzhou for the New Year?"
"us?"
Xu Zishuai grinned.
"Hey, Master and his wife asked us to go with you to the imperial capital to broaden our horizons!"
