Li Yan was thinking about things as he moved forward with the team. "Marshal Hong looked at him from the stands. Maybe there is more to this tent than just registration. Is there any other considerations? It's just that the tent doesn't look very big, but it's a bit small for the show. Does this military also consider literary talent?"
As he was walking and thinking with his head lowered, Li Yan suddenly felt his eyes light up. It turned out that the last person in front of him had entered the tent, and the area in front of him was much wider. But when he raised his head, the man had entered and lowered the door curtain, but he could not see clearly what was going on inside. Li Yan No longer thought about it, just stayed where he was and waited quietly.
After dozens of breaths, someone came out through the curtain. It was the person who had entered just now. At this time, this person was rolling down the sleeve on the other wrist with one hand, but his face was full of confusion, with a look of great confusion. Then he was urged by the soldiers beside the door and walked to the end of the line in the middle of the school field. At this time, one of the soldiers pointed at Li Yan and said, "You, come in." After hearing this, Li Yan followed the instructions and walked towards the tent door.
Opening the door curtain and entering the tent, Li Yan felt his eyes darken. He closed his eyes for a moment. After adjusting to the light, he opened his eyes again. At this time, he saw clearly that there was only a low table in the tent, and a person sitting cross-legged behind the table. On the large carpet, this man is about forty years old, wearing a scholar's crown and a loose black robe. The hem of the black robe is spread on the ground, covering his lower body. Even if he is sitting, he is only slightly shorter than Li Yan. He is also very tall.
His face was thin and narrow, with a blue-grey complexion. A long beard spread across his chest. His hands were folded in his sleeves and hugged his chest and abdomen, half covered by the low table. A ray of light occasionally shot out from his narrow eyes. He was looking at Li Yan at this time. Seeing Li Yan looking at him, he stretched out a slender white finger from his sleeve and pointed at the same small carpet in front of the table to "sit", and then said no more.
Li Yan followed the instructions and walked to the table. Only then did he find an unfolded cloth bag placed on the table. Rows of small bags were sewn vertically on the surface of the cloth bag, with the mouth of the bag facing upward. There were a varying number of fine needles inserted in each small bag, and the needle tails exposed at the mouth of the bag shone with silver light.
Li Yan Looking at the rows of silver needles that glowed coldly on the table, I couldn't help but beat my heart. I thought, "There are no pens, inks, paper and inkstones here. How can I register them? But what is the use of this thing?" Suddenly I was confused and didn't know what to do.
The man in black robe saw Li Yan coming to the table and staring at the silver needle, hesitating and not sitting down. Then he said, "Don't worry, I'm just doing a meridians test on you. If the meridians are very good, there may be some good fortune waiting for you."
Li Yan After hearing this, he thought about it for a moment and then sat cross-legged like the man in black robe behind the table. He came here because he had to pass this level no matter what. Otherwise, he would not be able to enter the next level of the school assessment. No matter how much he thought about it, it would be useless.
Seeing how happy Li Yan was now, the man in black robe smiled slightly and said, "Expose the meridians of your left wrist and place it on the table. It will be fine in a few breaths." Li Yan no longer thought about it, stretched out his right hand to roll up the coarse cloth sleeve of his left wrist a few sections, and then placed his palm up on the side of the cloth bag on the table.
After the man in black robe saw Li Yan put his left hand as instructed, he stretched out his right hand and used two slender white fingers to pick up a silver needle from the unfolded cloth bag like lightning. Before Li Yan could see it clearly, he only felt numbness in his wrist. When he took a closer look, most of the silver needle had already sunk into his own meridians. After the man in black robe finished doing this, he put his hands back into his sleeves, folded his hands in his sleeves and lowered them to his abdomen, and then glanced at Li Yan's face.
Li Yan After feeling numbness in his wrist, there was no other strange feeling anymore, but just when he was confused, after just two breaths, he suddenly felt a cool air from his abdomen rising straight to his brain, his head suddenly felt cold, and his whole body felt refreshed.
The man in black robe squinted his eyes carefully and saw that Li Yan looked fine. He felt a little regretful in his heart. He had seen this situation countless times in the past few years, but he still had that expectation in his heart after every injection. In the past few years, only the time at the beginning of last year made him ecstatic, but unfortunately the final result made him very angry.
Just when he was about to take out the silver needle from Li Yan's veins, he saw a layer of black energy slowly coming out of Li Yan's face. The man in black robe was stunned, and then he was overjoyed, but his face remained calm. Immediately, his hands moved like the wind, flying like butterflies through flowers, and four silver needles sank into Li Yan's veins. This time, after just one breath, Li Yan suddenly felt that four more hot, dry, heavy, and warm qi rose from his abdomen and went straight to his top door.
Now he felt like he was being tortured in a boiling oil pot, and his mind felt as if he had been hit hard. He not only groaned, but also had a look of pain on his face, and began to distort under the shroud of various auras.
After the four silver needles went down, the man in black robe stared at Li Yan's face without blinking, as if he was afraid of missing something. When a second green aura rose up on Li Yan's face, he felt a little... He became nervous, and then a third burst of red energy surged up. He clenched his fists even more, but as the yellow and white energy rose again, he loosened his clenched fists in frustration, and his face became uncertain, frowning and thinking about something.
Li Yan At this time, his body was suffering from pain. Several streams of gas in his abdomen were constantly rushing around, causing him great pain. He had changed from sitting cross-legged just now to falling to the ground and bowing on his side, and his body had bent like a shrimp. Fortunately, he did not touch the five silver needles on his wrist at this time, otherwise he does not know what the outcome would have been.
If someone looks at his face clearly at this time, he can find that the five colors of Qi on his face are changing alternately. Black Qi is the strongest, followed by green, red, yellow and white. The pain became more and more unstoppable, and Li Yan let out several more low moans.
These moans woke the man in black robes from his thoughts. After looking at Li Yan, he hesitated again. Finally, as if he had made some kind of decision, he stood up without making any movement. He floated to the table and stood in front of Li Yan. He was silent and ghostly. All he could see was the big sleeve of his right hand. With a wave, five rays of cold light flashed from Li Yan's left hand, and only a few soft sounds of "Duo Duo" were heard. Several inch-inch silver needles with their tails trembling were nailed into the table in a neat row. Although this table was not made of very good wood, the things used in the military valued quality rather than appearance. This table was also made of red date wood and was extremely strong. It would be impossible for anyone other than a first-class or top master in the martial arts world to achieve such a method.
The man in black robe looked at the silver needle on the table, and then at Li Yan's face that was recovering rapidly. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Oh, I still don't have the level to enter those places. I can only use this lowest and most primitive method to test. The consequences will be a lot for the people who test." Pain, but fortunately, it does no harm to the body and mind in the end, it is just temporary pain. If there is a "Spirit Testing Stone" or a "Spirit Testing Pillar"" Thinking of this, he sighed again. These are currently out of his reach, but maybe after this time, he can. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. But after seeing Li Yan underground, he muttered to himself, "The one last time was actually Profound Spirit Root. He has better qualifications than me, but the most unfortunate thing is that he is illiterate and can barely understand even the most basic magic. He wasted the incredible qualifications given to him by God, and ended up like this."
Thinking of this, he sighed again, "Oh, although this person is Mixed Spirit Root, he is still better than none. Time is running out. Although these two people appeared within two years of each other, it is just a coincidence. I have tested nearly 100,000 people in the past few years., I thought of this method to be used in the army to test existing soldiers and newly recruited soldiers. It has been just these two people for so many years. This is the biggest opportunity, and I estimate that I only have one or two years. Even if I have bad luck and find the right person in the future, I will not have time."
"If Mixed Spirit Root is used well, you can still give it a try." Thinking of this, he took a long breath and looked at Li Yan who was slowly returning to normal on the ground.
Li Yan felt like he had been tortured and beaten, but these beatings hit the depths of his soul. The pain was so intense that he couldn't even shout out. He could only let out low, heavy moans, as if he had gone through a long and unbearable time. Finally, after Li Yan felt numbness in the meridians of his hand, the pain disappeared without a trace, as if it had never happened, and it was just like an illusion.
Li Yan stood up from the ground with his hands on the edge of the table. He looked at the row of shining silver needles on the table, and looked at the man in black robes in front of him with some fear, as if he was standing here like a ghost from the underworld. He didn't believe that it was just an illusion. It was a real pain that penetrated the internal organs and bone marrow. Otherwise, how could there be any explanation for the row of silver needles on the table. Seeing Li Yan's fearful expression, the man in black robe smiled gently at him and said, "Don't be afraid. My surname is Ji, and my name is Ji Wenhe. Others call me Strategist Ji or Master Ji."
When Li Yan heard this, he was shocked, "He is Strategist Ji who is as famous as Marshal Hong and is in charge of this Green Mountain Pass? He is also well-known. What did such a big man do just now?"
When Strategist Ji saw that Li Yan didn't speak, he smiled and continued, "Although it caused you a lot of pain just now, it was worth it. So many people have not been able to have such a good life in the past few years. I am walking on the river. The man from the lake came to this army because he suffered an incurable injury a few years ago, so he came to this army to find something to do and someone he was destined to meet. I have no children and have always wanted to find a successor to inherit the mantle and teach all I have learned. Otherwise, if I die in the future, I will be cut off. The sect's inheritance means that even if you arrive at Jiuquan, it will be difficult for you to face the founder of this sect. The method that was previously imposed on you is the method used by my sect to select disciples. Because the martial arts of our sect requires a strong physique, broad meridians, and a full internal organs, otherwise it will be useless even if you learn it, and you may even become angry. The breath flows against the pulse and dies. Then, are you willing to join my sect and pass on what I have learned?" After saying this, Strategist Ji's voice became serious and he stared at Li Yan unblinkingly.
Li Yan thought to himself, "This method of getting started is so vicious and painful. It's hard to learn those skills, and how can I trust what he said." Thinking of this, I was thinking about how to refuse, but suddenly I thought of something that the team leader named Liu Chengyong who I met at the city gate seemed to have said when I entered the city gate today.
"Those thieves Meng Kingdom couldn't attack with three armies, but Strategist Ji took the head of the opponent's deputy commander." He said this, so this military advisor is an enemy of ten thousand people. According to what he just said, it was only after he was injured that he entered the army. If he had not been injured before, he would have been an unparalleled hero.
Look at the row of silver needles on the table. After the pain disappeared just now, his whole body was soft and weak. When he stood up, he used his hands to support the table. Although he was not very heavy, if it were made of ordinary wood, if most of his body weight pressed on it, there would be some sound. The small table just now did not even make a breath sound, which shows its sturdiness.
He looked at the row of silver needles again, and was even more horrified. Silver needles were also available among the village folk, and he had seen them before. They could be bent easily with just a flick of his finger. How could these needles be inserted into this solid wooden table? He is not a stupid person.
Teenagers always worship heroes. Every teenager has a heroic dream, imagining that he can save the common people and save the people he loves in danger. Li Yan is no exception. Although his mind is more delicate, it is only relatively compared to people of the same age. Generally speaking, he still has a young mind. In just a few thoughts, he has already changed all kinds of thoughts.
Thinking of this, Li Yan felt an impulse in his heart. He had long forgotten the pain of life that was worse than death just now. He just felt that by following the man in front of him, he could learn the power of reaching heaven and earth in his dream. He raised his head and looked at Strategist Ji and said sternly, "I have pity on you, but I dare to disobey you."
Strategist Ji didn't have any surprise on his face after hearing this. He had already expected this. If he didn't agree, it would have surprised him. Strategist Ji asked him, "What's your name?"
"Boy Li Yan, belongs to the Great Green Mountain family." Li Yan replied.
"Then are you literate?" Strategist Ji asked again.
"The boy has been studying in a private school for several years. Although he is not talented enough to pass the examination, he is still familiar with the classics." Li Yan replied again, this is not Li Yan's bragging. When he was studying in a private school in the village, the old scholar was the most fancy to him among all the people. He hoped that he could take the exam to obtain fame. However, according to Li Yan's family background, if he continued to study, he would not be able to support it. This matter made the old scholar extremely regretful. Even so, Li Yan had read through the nearly one hundred books collected by the old scholar, and studied diligently what he didn't understand.
"Then have you ever learned any martial arts or internal skills?" Strategist Ji heard that he was also a person who was familiar with reading scriptures, and his hope rose a bit.
"The boy has only learned a few basic fighting techniques in the village. He has never learned any advanced martial arts, let alone any internal skills." Li Yan continued to answer.
Strategist Ji heard this and smiled softly, "That's good. Your body's meridians are in line with the requirements of this sect's mental method. I'll let you know after I send the sect's rules. As for your family background and identity, I will send someone to check, and I hope you won't hide anything. You are also the last person to apply today. In this case, just go with me." Say it, with a flick of his sleeves, the silver needles and cloth bags on the table have disappeared.
Li Yan was even more surprised when he saw it. Then he bowed and replied, "Yes, sir." Then he showed some hesitation on his face and did not follow immediately.
