In the next half a year, Ouyang Xun never found Zuo Yin's trouble again, Zuo Yin had no time to take care of anything else, his life in this half year was tense and seemed boring, ten days of practicing knife skills, ten days of learning the basics of herbal medicine, and at the same time, with the help of the teacher who taught his own medical skills and the medical books sent by Lin Xiuwen, Zuo Yin gradually began to be able to see some simple injuries, but after all, it was the front line, and the number of injured soldiers was much more than the sick.

After practicing for half a year, Zuo Yin officially stepped into the realm of the early stage of forging with the help of Yang Zizhan, and he could be a small leader of an army in other parts of the empire, but in the main force of the Cangnan Army, he could only be regarded as a person who could go to the front line, but I don't know if it was because he was worried that he would be injured, the physician battalion did not arrange for him to go out to collect medicine once, but kept teaching Zuo Yin's medical skills, as if he was trained as a doctor, Zuo Yin didn't ask much, anyway, this kind of knowledge, There is always no harm in learning more, and on an autumn morning after half a year, Yang Zizhan took Zuo Yin to meet his master, Bai Changzhi.

As soon as he entered the door, Bai Changzhi smiled and received the deputy general and apprentice in his military tent, in the past six months, Yang Zizhan has been responsible for teaching Zuo Yin's knife skills, and after Zuo Yin learned the basic knife movements, the two began to practice with wooden knives, but every time Zuo Yin was pumped his whole body was red and swollen, but he was also hard, and he never said a word, and Zuo Yin's knife skills gradually had a little appearance between the operations.

"For half a year, I haven't directly instructed you in knife skills, do you have any complaints in your heart?" Bai Changzhi looked at the disciple who had been tempered for half a year, touched his chin and smiled lightly.

Zuo Yin clenched his fists and replied: "The disciple doesn't dare, the disciple knows that his level is not enough for the master to teach in person, so he has to practice every day for half a year, and he has nothing else to think about." ”

When Bai Changzhi heard this answer, he laughed instead, and he kicked Zuo Yin lightly: "Don't pretend, Lao Tzu has lived so many years longer than you, do you have any complaints in your heart, I can't guess?" If you are dissatisfied with me, the master who has let you go, you just say it, don't hide it. At the same time of laughter, he also patted Zuo Yin's shoulder vigorously, and Zuo Yin stumbled and almost couldn't stand.

Looking at the master who didn't look like a fake, Zuo Yin smiled bitterly and said sincerely: "The apprentice does have a little doubt in his heart, the apprentice doesn't ask the master for personal guidance, but in the past half a year, the master has only encouraged the apprentice from a distance, and he has not spoken in person once, and the apprentice is puzzled." ”

When Yang Zizhan heard this, a knowing smile appeared on his face, and Bai Changzhi explained: "Knife skills, the basic skills are the most important, with your talent, half a year is enough to master those, so from today on, I will take you as a teacher, but how strange is the title of master, I am still not used to it, so you call me Bai Boss." Bai Changzhi waved his hand and signaled that Zuo Yin could not question it, and Zuo Yin continued to accept this normal and strange title with a wry smile.

Bai Changzhi turned to Yang Zizhan at this time: "You brought everything here, right?" ”

"The subordinates have prepared things."

Zuo Yin watched the two talking, and then remembered that Brother Yang had prepared two packages before going out, and traveled far away? This thought came to Zuo Yin's heart.

Bai Changzhi saw Zuo Yin's expression, knew what he was thinking, and explained indifferently: "That's right, it's just to go out to practice, according to the intelligence of the Ministry of Wind this month, there is no big action of the alien race, so the two of us will go to their territory to make a big move." When he said this, Bai Changzhi's face did not have a trace of being the commander of the fire department, but like a robber who went out to rob. Zuo Yin couldn't help but be a little speechless in his heart, this master of his own, no, Boss Bai seems to be very different from ordinary people in some places.

However, it has been half a year since he came to the Cangnan Army camp, Zuo Yin still hasn't seen any aliens, after all, they have been relatively honest all these years, and the rangers of the Wind Department will encounter them from time to time when they detect the situation, resulting in a lot of leisure in the medical battalions of each department, when he was in Qingshan City, Zuo Yin heard that the alien race is a head taller than the normal adult male of the empire, each of them is almost a natural warrior, the muscles of the whole body are as hard as iron, and he likes to eat people, but for some reason in the past half a year, Yang Zizhan has not explained to him, The people around him also seemed to have been banned, and the veterans of the Fire Department who had participated in the expedition were secretive about it.

After Zuo Yin followed the master to tie the package behind him, he started directly from the camp, the package was prepared dry food and some wound medicine, as well as two or three changes of clothes, he didn't ask much, the two of them and two horses set off from the camp and began to move towards the Dead Dragon Pass, which was more than forty miles away from the camp.

Along the way, Zuo Yin excitedly looked around for a long time not to see the scenery of southern Xinjiang, watching the familiar grass and trees swaying in the cold wind of autumn, his heart couldn't help but be full of emotion, half a year ago, he was still worried about the uncertain future, worried about the life of collecting medicine for a living, half a year later, he gradually found his goal in the Cangnan Army, and his daily study and exercise are making him continue to improve, he likes this kind of life from the heart, and Zuo Yin glanced at his master, although the master ignored him for half a year, However, he believed that the master must care about him, the apprentice he picked up, and taking him to experience this time is the best proof that those small grievances in his heart have also disappeared.

Zuo Yin was enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, and his thoughts were sorting out the harvest of the past six months. Bai Changzhi asked leisurely without looking back: "Zuo Yin, do you know the history of the Dead Dragon Pass?" ”

Zuo Yin hurriedly collected his thoughts, and blurted out without thinking: "The Dead Dragon Pass is the first line to resist foreign races, and it is also one of the five dangerous passes of the empire. ”

After Bai Changzhi listened to Zuo Yin's brief answer, he simply praised him a few words, the two did not communicate much, Bai Changzhi was condensing the horse most of the time, Zuo Yin followed him, speaking of which, this equestrian skill was also taught to him by Brother Yang Zizhan, but Zuo Yin learned the knife very quickly, but he was somehow a little stupid when he learned to ride a horse, and when he learned, he was always taken off the back of the horse, which made Zuo Yin often depressed about it, but fortunately he could ride after more practice, as for fighting immediately, it was another matter.

In the afternoon, after turning the last mountain bend, the Dead Dragon Pass suddenly appeared in the earth, yes, abruptly, Zuo Yin felt very appropriate for himself to describe this word, here from a distance, the mountains are endless, only in the Dead Dragon Pass here abruptly stopped, leaving a wide mountain pass, the Dead Dragon Pass is built in this mountain pass, the whole pass is a simple gray and white color, and the green mountains on both sides of the pass contrast is obvious, and the only Kangtan Avenue in and out of this group of mountains is blocked in this way, the sun is sprinkled all over this area, The cold wind near autumn blew off the withered branches and leaves, adding a bit of solemnity to the scenery here.

When Bai Changzhi and Zuo Yin approached, Zuo Yin found that in the north of the Dead Dragon Pass was the garrison of the mountains and the wind department, the former needed to patrol the Dead Dragon Pass and this group of mountains day and night, and the latter had to go out from time to time to spy on the movements of other races, when Zuo Yin followed his master in the barracks to the big tent of the Chinese army, the temperament of the soldiers he saw along the way was obviously different from the Cangnan military base camp, a little less noisy, and everyone had the perseverance sharpened by the battlefield on their faces, as well as a little numbness to the surrounding things, Many people even took advantage of the rare sunny weather in southern Xinjiang to sleep under the sun, obviously they should be the guards on the night shift, inexplicably infected by this atmosphere, Zuo Yin also fell silent, and finally entered the Chinese army tent in this camp with the master.

As soon as he entered the door, a warm air flow blew in his face, and there was a charcoal fire in the tent, which slightly removed some of the autumn cold, although it was a little strange to make a fire in early autumn, Zuo Yin didn't think much about it, when he poked his head out from behind the master, he saw that there were only two people in the tent, and both of them pointed at the map in the big tent and turned their backs to them, but one was mediocre, dressed in simple clothes, and a light brown robe looked simple and unpretentious, like a farmer weeding in the field. It's just that the joints of the index finger and middle finger of the right hand are unusually thick, and he is obviously a good archer, and it seems that he should be the capital of the mountains - Wang Xun.

The other person sat in a wheelchair, his whole body was shrouded in a black robe, and even his head was wearing a hat with a black gauze on his head, when the two of them turned their heads when they heard the voice, Zuo Yin found that the wheelchair man even had his face hidden in the black veil, looking mysterious, such a decoration, it must be the forest department - Du Wanli.

As soon as the two of them turned their heads, Bai Changzhi had already walked quickly, and Wang Xun turned to smile innocently and lightly touched Bai Changzhi's fists, and the relationship was intimate, and one action left an image in Zuo Yin's heart.

Bai Changzhi said with a smile: "Wang Dutong, Du Dutong, this kid is my disciple, this time I will take him to wander outside the pass, and I hope that the two Dutong who are in charge of the Dead Dragon Pass will be approved." ”

When Wang Xun heard this, he laughed and scolded Bai Changzhi for pretending to be polite, and looked at Zuo Yin, who found that although this Wang Dutong had an ordinary appearance, he had a calm bearing, like a mountain, standing in front of you like this, as if no wind and rain could shake it. And Du Du of the forest department didn't say a word, only tilted his head slightly, and Zuo Yin could only think that he was "looking" at him.

After Wang Xun looked at Zuo Yin, he also reached out and pinched Zuo Yin's shoulder, and then said with satisfaction: "He is a good seedling, his talent is medium to high, and it is just right to practice your family's knife skills." Zuo Yin has heard this comment many times, standing here silently to make an ornament, several people are familiar with each other, and he is not easy to intersperse at will.

Bai Changzhi seemed to have received a great compliment, and his face was full of joy, "I have already said, who is the best of my old white knife or your old king's shield, we have been fighting for so many years and have not fought out, now I am going to take the apprentice, and your old king will also hurry up the whole apprentice, let's watch from the wall and watch them come and go, how about it?" ”

Wang Xun's face suddenly cried and laughed, "Let's put this matter in the future, where will you come from the apprentice for a while, if you come all the way from the camp today, you have a lot of travel, you can rest here tonight, I have to talk to you Lao Bai for advice." Bai Changzhi boldly agreed, and in the heated conversation between the two, Zuo Yin found that Du Dutong was dressed in black, silent, as if he was not in the same world as the warm atmosphere here.
