Chapter 255: Extreme Cultivation (1)
The entire Luyuan covers an area of more than 7,600 acres. As a royal garden, in the entire Luyuan, except for a few buildings, other places are covered with gardens and mountains. Eunuch Liu is the general manager of Luyuan. Under Eunuch Liu, there are also soldiers of the Imperial Front Horse and Staff Office stationed. There are about 500 craftsmen, servants, maids, etc. in other gardens.
There are many rare birds and beasts in the deer garden, the most common ones are sika deer and peacocks. These animals do not even need human care and can live a leisurely life in the deer garden.
The Arrow Farm in Luyuan is located in a forest covering an area of more than 4,000 acres. As the foreman of the Arrow Farm, Yan Liqiang's residence is next to the forest. It is a unique courtyard. His daily job is to stroll in the forest and stroll in the arcade. As long as no one outside can run into the forest to party or have a fire in the forest, his job is basically nothing.
As a place with an arrow field, things like arrows and bows are indispensable for cultivation. Not only will it not be missing, but it is also fully responsible. In the warehouse of the arrow field in Luyuan, there are dozens of various good bows, from one stone to a super strong war bow of ten stones, there are everything here. The good bows are all horned python bows, and they are also made by famous bows. In terms of quality, it is much better than the horned python bows that Yan Liqiang uses now.
Here, people will bring food every day, people will wash clothes if they are dirty, and they will not have to worry about anything. There is also the monthly high silver pay for officers from the Royal Front Horse and Crafts.
There is time, venue, and conditions. If you don’t practice well in such an environment, Yan Liqiang may not forgive him.
So, on the first day after coming to Luyuan, Lizi took Yan Liqiang around Luyuan. After roughly understanding the situation in Luyuan, Yan Liqiang formulated an "extreme cultivation plan" for himself in his heart.
The core of this "Extreme Practice Plan" is Yijin and Marrow Cleansing Sutra. The content of the entire plan is to overdraw the consumption of your body's ability to the limit every day, and then use the magical effect of Yijin and Marrow Cleansing Sutra to allow your body to receive the washing and strengthening of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this state. According to Yan Liqiang's previous experience, under such a cultivation method, his strength has grown the fastest, which is simply explosive. It seems that it is in this state that the Yijing Marrow Cleansing Sutra truly has a terrifying effect. Every time it strengthens, it really gives people a feeling of transformation.
However, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. To carry out the "extreme cultivation plan", in addition to firm determination, you must also prepare some necessary tools.
Yan Liqiang had been conceiving this set of tools to squeeze the potential of his body as early as the way to Dijing. On the night he arrived in Luyuan, Yan Liqiang found paper and pen in his room, and in a while he drew out what he wanted. The next morning, after completing his morning class, after eating the breakfast delivered by the servants in Luyuan, he changed into brand new clothes. Yan Liqiang, who had the Yingyang School Captain's waist hanging on his waist, took yellow hair and rushed directly to the craftsman workshop in Luyuan.
In the royal garden, which is considered to be the place where the emperor practices martial arts, people usually need to repair or create them directly if they are damaged or require some things. Therefore, there are many craftsmen and craftsmen in the Luyuan who are responsible for doing these tasks.
The craftsmen in Luyuan are all concentrated in a craftsman workshop in Luyuan. The craftsmen in the workshop, from carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths, lacquers, painters, tailors, and cobblers, can be said to have everything.
"Ah, Captain Yan, why did you come to me early in the morning? If you need any help, just ask me to tell me!"
Yan Liqiang had just walked into the craftsman workshop and saw Yan Liqiang's craftsman workshop manager, he immediately came over with a smile on his face.
The manager of the Luyuan Craftsman Workshop is Wen. He is fat and has small eyes. When he smiles, he can't see his eyes. Yesterday, Li Zi met Yan Liqiang when he came here with Yan Liqiang. He knew that Yan Liqiang was introduced by a father-in-law in the palace and was loved by Eunuch Liu. As soon as he joined the Royal Mass and Buss, he had the official position of Yingyang's Captain. When he came to Luyuan, he could still carry a dog. This Wen manager has long regarded Yan Liqiang as a rich family with a deep background. He was worried that he would not have the opportunity to curry favor with him. Even if there was no speculation about Yan Liqiang's background, Yan Liqiang's identity as Yingyang's Captain at this moment could make him dare not neglect at all. After all, the difference between the status of an ordinary craftsman in this world and the status of a military officer in this world is not an ordinary big deal.
"Good morning, Manager Wen. I came here today just to find a few masters in the blacksmith workshop to help me get some things. No trouble!"
The morning sun shines on Yan Liqiang's face, making Yan Liqiang's smile suddenly increase the heat.
Manager Wen was suddenly flattered, "No problem, no problem, Captain Yan needs anything, even if he is instructed, it just happens that the craftsmen in the blacksmith workshop are also here, so I will take Captain Yan here!"
"Haha, I'm working hard!"
Under the leadership of Manager Wen, Yan Liqiang talked to Manager Wen and came to the blacksmith's workshop.
The blacksmith workshop in Luyuan is half larger than the blacksmith workshop in Yan Liqiang's hometown. There are more than a dozen craftsmen in it. When the two arrived, the craftsmen in the blacksmith workshop were already setting their bows and creating things. This blacksmith workshop is usually the first to serve Luyuan. If there is nothing to do in Luyuan, then this blacksmith workshop is responsible for creating some weapons, which are exclusively for the soldiers of the Imperial Front Horse and Campus Division.
Seeing that Manager Wen brought Yan Liqiang to the blacksmith workshop, a master in the workshop who was guiding other blacksmiths immediately came over and asked respectfully, "Manager Wen, is there anything wrong?"
"This is Yan Jiaowei, the foreman of the Arrow Farm in Luyuan. Yan Jiaowei wants you to help you create something here..." Manager Wen said, then glanced at Yan Liqiang. Yan Liqiang did not waste time, and directly took out the piece of paper he drew from his arms and handed it to the master blacksmith, "See, this master, what I want is this thing. Can you build it here?"
His father is a blacksmith, and he is half a blacksmith, so Yan Liqiang is very polite to the blacksmith master here.
Seeing the piece of paper Yan Liqiang took out, the Wen Manager next to him couldn't help but turn his head and look at the things drawn on the paper.
Although Yan Liqiang drew things on paper, they were very clear, and their size and weight were also explained. In some details, they also drew large pictures and texts, but the two people looking at the picture did not know what the things on the picture were.
If it is said that thing is a weapon, it seems to be too thick and too heavy. Neither of them has ever seen such a weapon before. Moreover, there are no sharp blades on it, and it is thick and strong. There are several details and settings in it that make people feel like a tool. But if it is a tool, the two of them can't think of where this tool can be used.
The blacksmith frowned and stared at the things Yan Liqiang drew for a long time before raising his head, "This... Master Yan, you can build this thing, but it's not difficult. But I don't know what this thing is or what its use is. It's easy for us to grasp the degree of it when we build it..."
"Well, this thing is what I have figured out for practicing martial arts and polishing strength!" Yan Liqiang pointed to the picture and explained patiently, "This kind of thing is six feet long and weighs 300 kilograms. The concave place here can be convenient for me to grasp and hold it in my hand, so it must be firm. The iron column has grooves and protrusions on the top surface on three sides. It is a locking mechanism. With an iron pin, it can be fixed. Therefore, you need to pay attention to the accuracy here..."
"This thing...can this thing be combined together?" The blacksmith master understood immediately.
"Well, it's good. As long as you keep creating the same things, they can be freely combined, thick or long..."
"So how much does this thing need?"
"350 pounds!"
"Just five?"
"I'll try creating five roots first. How long will it take to get it done?"
"The rest of the work in this workshop can be stopped first, and you can create what Captain Yan wants before talking about it..." Manager Wen, next to him, interrupted, counting it as an instruction.
"I can build it here before tomorrow evening!"
"Okay, I'll bother Manager Wen and all the masters. I'll come here to pick it up tomorrow night!"
"Hahaha, why do you need Captain Yan to go there again? When the blacksmith workshop is ready here, I will ask someone to send it to Captain Yan!" Manager Wen smiled beside him.
...
Leaving the craftsman workshop, Yan Liqiang returned to his residence, carried a horned python bow directly, and then took a pot of arrows to the arcade field to "pave"...
The next evening, Yan Liqiang came back with yellow-haired patrol in sweat and saw Manager Wen, with several strong blacksmiths driving a carriage, parked at the door outside the yard of his residence, and was carefully moving the things on the carriage...
"Be careful, be careful, don't slip your hands, so as not to smash them..." Manager Wen stood next to the carriage and directed several shirtless blacksmiths to move Yan Liqiang's needs out of the carriage.
The things Yan Liqiang needed were already on the carriage at this moment, with five in total, each of which was dark and thick, two meters long. From the outside, it looked like a gun barrel, but unlike the gun barrel, the things on the carriage were solid and easier to make...
