18. From the assessment
Town Evil Division Square.
The weather in May is unusually hot, with dark clouds rolling in the sky, and it looks like heavy rain may fall at any moment.
In addition, the leading figures in Ping'an County sitting on the high platform made the teenagers who came to participate in the assessment in the square of the town evil division feel very depressed.
Gu An was in the assessment team below at this time, standing alone on the side, listening to the words that kept coming into his ears.
"Every year the assessment method is different, I don't know what this year is. ”
"Alas, it's different, but the content hasn't changed, it's nothing more than a battle between demons, weirdness, and people. ”
"It's easy to say, who knows what level you'll encounter. ”
Since the Demon Suppression Division and the Martial Mansion mainly face demons, weirdness, and some misguided martial artists, the annual assessment is also carried out around these three items.
Gu An took a general look just now, and there were about 300 people in the square, all of whom were teenagers between the ages of sixteen and eighteen who came from Ping'an County or the surrounding towns.
There are those who are as strong as him, but they are all eighteen-year-old boys.
The weaker ones are only the six levels of the Quenching Body Realm.
Gu An was more curious, if these quenching six-fold encounters such a weird spirit, how should they deal with it?
Run, give up, or ask for help......
Suddenly, when Gu An was thinking, he keenly noticed that someone was spying on him.
Look at it with your senses.
It happened to meet Tao Yu's cold eyes.
Gu An naturally returned with a smile.
Dongfang Runhong, who was standing beside Tao Yu, chuckled lightly when he saw this: "Tao Yu, I heard that Gu An's fist power is 20,000 catties, how about it, are you interested in recruiting him into your command?"
Tao Yu still looked ahead, and said indifferently: "Aren't you already interested in him?
"No, I just think it's very boring if you don't fight with me!" Dongfang Runhong said innocently.
The other three small flag officials of the evil department of Ping'an County also returned to Ping'an County a few days ago.
The battle between Tao Yu and Dongfang Runhong is also commonplace.
Just stood aside and looked at Gu An in the square below.
In the past few days, they have also heard about what happened in Ping'an County a few days ago.
Tao Yu's only younger brother died, and I heard that Tao Xu was killed by collusion with the murderer.
So far, the killer has not been caught.
Tao Yu also went to the outside of the north city that the carriage and horse shop said, the location of the horse they said was tied to the horse, but the heavy rain that day directly washed away the traces.
They also set their sights on the man who was suspected of being the murderer.
Dressed in a white robe, young and handsome, it seems that this is the case, but I heard that his fist power exceeds 20,000 catties, and if nothing else, he should be able to pass the assessment.
Gu An noticed several gazes staring at him, and when he looked at them one by one, almost all of them were Xiao Qi of the Evil Suppression Division and some mentors of the Martial Mansion.
That's when it happened.
Yang Ling stood up from his position, walked to the front of the high platform, and suddenly yelled at the noisy square below: "Quiet!"
For a moment, the noisy square became silent.
Yang Ling put his hands behind his back and said loudly: "This official is Yang Ling, the chief flag officer of the Town Evil Division of Ping'an County, and this assessment is fully responsible for the Town Evil Division.
The rules must be clear to everyone, and those who are not clear are groping in the assessment. ”
As he spoke, Yang Ling looked at Tao Yu and the others: "Send things down." ”
"Yes. ”
After Tao Yu and the other five small flag officers answered, they began to instruct the team members behind them to carry the wooden boxes piled up next to the high platform.
Subsequently, a member of the team of the Famous Town Evil Division distributed the contents of the wooden box to everyone who participated in the assessment this time.
Soon it was Gu An's turn, and he reached out and took a black bracelet, with a red crystal in front of it in the center.
"This item is called the Seal Soul Bracelet, which is an item used to record your assessment results, and it will be handed in after the assessment, and it will be screened according to your results when the time comes. ”
After Yang Ling finished speaking, he sat back in his place and began to talk in a low voice with an old man beside him.
Dongfang Runhong walked to the position where Yang Ling was standing just now: "My name is Dongfang Runhong, the small flag official of the evil department of Ping'an County.
All the people who participated in the assessment, all turn back, align with the person in front of you, and then, I will lead you to the assessment location. ”
After a while, Dongfang Runhong stepped down from the high platform, led the team members under his command, and led Gu An and other teenagers who participated in the assessment towards the outside of the town evil division's mansion.
The team of nearly 300 people will attract many eyes wherever they go.
"Ergou!
"Big cow! it doesn't matter if you can't pass the test, there is still land waiting for you to plow at home!"
"Muzhi, you must be admitted!"
“......”
Many young people and girls from peasant families have been practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer for nearly ten years, waiting for these days to stand out and enter the Evil Town Division or the Martial Mansion.
Their elders also had great expectations for them, and rushed to the city from the towns below to cheer them on.
The person who was called by name had a more or less different look on his face
"Brother Xiaoan!"
Gu An suddenly heard a familiar shout from the crowd, and turned his head to look.
Qin Quan and some alternate catchers who were familiar with him were all waving at him.
Gu An couldn't help but feel a warm heart.
Wave to them as well.
The team walked through the main north-south road, exited the north city gate, and after half a day, came to a hillside.
Gu An observed left and right, the bushes were overgrown, the vegetation was withered and yellow, it was obviously summer, but what was shown was a mirror image of autumn-like depression.
Many teenagers and girls in the team asked each other in confusion because of the sudden stop.
"Why did it stop all of a sudden?"
"Is this the place to be assessed?"
"What are you fighting here, fighting with trees and weeds?"
Dongfang Runhong listened to their conversation, walked up to the top of the hillside, glanced into the distance, and showed a playful smile.
Immediately after that, he turned down and walked to the front of the group.
"I'm going to tell you about the general rules. About a kilometer ahead, there is a village, there are fifty rooms in the village, and your task is simple, stay in the village for three days. ”
Gu An frowned secretly.
Village?
I'm afraid it's not that simple......
"So, how do we eat and drink?" a young man asked.
"Eat and drink, without eating and drinking, it's only three days, can't you bear it?"
Dongfang Runhong smiled lightly.
As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded instantly.
"Hungry for three days!"
"If you don't eat for three days, you'll die!"
"I'm fine, but I'm a little bit worse. ”
Dongfang Runhong licked his lips: "What's the noise, if you don't want to participate, you can quit." ”
The sound was not loud, but the voice was suppressed by the team of nearly three hundred people.
"Let's go, no matter how late it is, it's not good. ”
After a short time, Dongfang Runhong sent Gu An and them to the gate of the village, then turned around and left the place.
"Resentful Village. ”
It's not a good place to look at the name.
Gu An looked at the stone monument erected at the entrance of the village and walked slowly into the village.
The yellow earth is paved with bluestone slabs that make up the crisscrossing roads of the village, and the streets are lined with the rooms that Dongfang Runhong said.
Just as he was about to learn more about it, five teenagers suddenly rushed out from behind and stopped in front of Gu An, faintly surrounding.
The middle integrated type looked at the very strong young man, clasped his arms with both hands, and said lightly: "You are Gu An, right?"
