Chapter 89: Learning to Use a Gun
The yard is not small, and there are many things for practicing martial arts placed inside.
There is a weapons rack with a row of spears on it, including red lotus spears, chevaux-de-lis spears, red tassel spears, iron cavalry spears, double-headed flower spears, and so on.
Stone pillars, stone locks, plum blossom piles, sandbags, wooden men.
Lin Zhen discovered a feature. The things here did not have any modern feel. It seemed that few people used them during the Gregorian calendar. However, they could still be seen here. He didn't know where Zhang Guanyue got them from.
The yard was swept very cleanly and watered, but the main house looked a little shabby.
Zhang Guanyue warmly invited Lin Zhen to sit down. He went to put away the wine and meat, and it was obvious that he cared a lot.
After a while, Zhang Guanyue came out and said to Lin Zhen, "I really didn't expect you to come, but you are much stronger than me, and I don't know what I can teach you. To be honest, none of the students I teach can study for more than three days, so..."
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "It's okay. Just follow your most stringent standards. I will definitely be able to stick to it. But I have to say one thing. I can only study here for one week. Within seven days, if I get something I'm satisfied with, not only will I pay the tuition, but I'll also give you this extra amount."
Lin Zhen said, raising a finger.
Zhang Guanyue's eyes lit up: "Give me an extra ten thousand?"
Lin Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Do you think ten thousand is worth my asking once?"
"Could it be one million?" Zhang Guanyue couldn't believe it.
"Ten million, but I need to learn your special skills in a week. Can you do it?"
"What do you know?" Zhang Guanyue asked in surprise.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang, I was able to find this place, so of course I know something. What delayed your promotion to general? As long as you look carefully, you will always be able to find some clues. I am very much looking forward to your gun skills."
Hearing this, Zhang Guanyue couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, to be honest, I don't know if my choice is right. I have liked guns since I was a child, and I have been practicing this, but because my family is poor, I missed the graduation exam due to illness, and I never had the chance. Twenty years, I spent twenty years learning a gun skill, but ended up like this, even my girlfriend..."
"It's all over, and everything will be fine." Lin Zhen consoled.
"Oh! Forget it. Originally, I was planning to never tell anyone about this matter, but since you found out and came to me, I won't hide it anymore."
"My shooting skills are somewhat different from those on the Internet. They all start from the most basic. Although simple, they really test one's perseverance and patience. If you really want to learn, you have to stay at my place for seven days. I will definitely do my best to teach you, but I can't guarantee whether you will succeed in the end."
"Don't worry about that. I think I have some talent. Let's get started now."
Lin Zhen stood up and raised his hand, and the Black Dragon Spear appeared in the space ring.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Guanyue waved his hand and said, "This won't work. If you want to learn, you have to follow my rules. Use this first."
As he spoke, Zhang Guanyue took out a long red tasseled spear from the weapon rack.
"then!"
Lin Zhen raised his hand and took the red tasseled spear from Zhang Guanyue. The spear was made of wood and weighed no more than ten kilograms. Lin Zhen felt it was light and a little uncomfortable in his hand.
"Don't underestimate wooden guns. Although wooden guns are not suitable for today's battles, they have their advantages. Their elasticity and lightness are unmatched by today's metal weapons."
"You've heard of the saying 'one month of stick training, one year of sword training, and a long time of spear training'? Nowadays, martial artists focus too much on speed and strength, but forget that spear skills are also profound. In my opinion, spear skills are composed of a series of moves, including stabbing, piercing, picking, flicking, lifting, blocking, smashing, sweeping, hanging, and tapping, etc., which are the basic movements."
Zhang Guanyue took the same red tasseled spear, locked the door first, and then came to Lin Zhen: "Show me a shot, a simple thrust."
Lin Zhen raised his hand and made a thrusting motion.
"No, this posture is wrong. The gun is the most primitive weapon of mankind. Since the primitive tribes, people have used spears to fight wild beasts. The gun requires control. Because of the characteristics of long weapons, long-distance thrusting is the most basic. When you thrust like this, you pay too much attention to the subsequent changes, but forget the basic essentials of thrusting. That means you will kill with one strike!"
As he spoke, Zhang Guanyue made a gesture to Lin Zhen.
“Bang!”
A simple thrust made Lin Zhen stunned.
It's just a wooden gun, without any Dantian Qi, and the person using it is not very strong, but this gun contains the essence of the gun.
As soon as the gun was fired, murderous intent was everywhere. It was so simple, yet so practical, that it gave people a feeling that they could not resist and had to avoid it.
At this moment, Lin Zhen had a new understanding.
"That's what I'm going to do. You practice this thrust right here. When I'm satisfied with it, I'll teach you the second move."
After becoming a teacher, Zhang Guanyue was no longer the same as before, and he became extremely serious.
Lin Zhen did not complain at all, and started the first move of the spear, stabbing, on the spot.
"No! The hind legs are too far forward, be careful to control the distance!"
"The force of your front hand is too weak. You have to imagine that there is an enemy in front of you, an enemy who can kill you. You want to kill him with one shot!"
"Waist! Pay attention to the strength of your waist. If you practice martial arts without training your waist, your skills will not be high. How did you become the number one warrior in Ice City with such strength of waist?"
"Hurry up! I saw on the Internet that your speed is comparable to lightning. Why are you slowing down now? Don't be too restrained by the movements. Mastering the key points is the key."
"Momentum! Where is the momentum you had when you killed the Russians? Without a powerful shot, who would be afraid of you? Once you have fired the gun, you must move forward without hesitation. Do you understand? Young people today."
Zhang Guanyue was shouting beside him, and Lin Zhen strictly followed his requirements and started practicing one shot at a time.
After hundreds of shots of hands-on instruction, perhaps because Lin Zhen's movements were basically up to standard, or perhaps because Zhang Guanyue was tired, he took out the wine and meat that Lin Zhen had bought and started eating and drinking, with no intention of inviting Lin Zhen to eat with him.
Lin Zhen didn't want to eat either, he just went through the motions mechanically. Although Zhang Guanyue was demanding, Lin Zhen was even more demanding on himself, and he would not stop until he achieved perfection.
In this way, time passed from morning to morning, and from morning to noon.
It was not until the sun began to move to the west that Lin Zhen finally found a feeling.
"A gun is a gun, the king of all weapons. No matter whether the gun in my hand is made of wood or metal, I will move forward with a gun in hand. Even if there is nothing in front of me, I will pierce a hole in it with one gun!"
"This is like a spirit, a spirit of drawing the sword. Even if you are facing the world's best swordsman, you still have the spirit to draw your sword and give him a blow!"
Lin Zhen gradually got into the state. After firing several times in succession, he suddenly focused his eyes, grasped the gun with both hands, and exerted force on the muscles in his waist and around his body at the same time, and thrust the spear fiercely.
"ha!"
“Bang!”
The long red tasseled spear turned into a flash of lightning and stabbed out fiercely!
An invisible sharp air spread in the air and hit the courtyard wall directly, splashing up a little smoke and dust, and a hole appeared on the wall!
Without any support from Dantian power, just relying on his swiftness, indomitable spirit and perfect gun-drawing posture, Lin Zhen used the wooden gun to shoot out a real gun light!
