Ten days after I was discharged from the hospital, I removed the brace on my right shoulder and resolutely went to the recruitment point set up by the prefecture in Zuoqiu City to sign up.

Since almost all of my armor was destroyed in the deathmatch, and the injury on my right shoulder did not allow me to wear hard armor, I temporarily borrowed a pair of soft armor from the Teng family firm to put on, so that others would not think that I was too cold to even wear a set of armor. However, the shield and the knife are still powerful enough, and they have now become my personal signature weapons.

The conscription campaign in Zuoqiu City lasted for three months, and the effect was actually very mediocre, with less than twenty people signing up in the first month. Of course, there is a relationship between Zuoqiu City and the impact of the Daze Tide, which led to a sharp decline in the number of Yin cultivators, and it is also related to the treatment provided by the underworld.

An ordinary Yin soldier, with a monthly salary of only 200 Yin Yuan, and no commission, is simply not as much as he earns as a dart master in a caravan. You know, although everyone is very curious and interested in the prefecture, it is impossible to recruit people with such a low salary.

In desperation, the Yin Errand asked for instructions and raised the salary of this batch of Yin soldiers to three hundred Yin Yuan as a whole. As a result, the number of applicants has increased a bit, but the number of applicants is still insufficient.

In the third month, there was another "good news" from the Yin Mission: the Yin Army planned to directly promote ten Shi Chang and one Yin Commander among this batch of recruits!

Shi Chang and Yin Xiao are both official positions in the Yin Army. Shi Chang is equivalent to a squad leader, with nine Yin soldiers under his command, plus a team of ten people, which is called a Shi. One tithe is also the smallest combat structure in the Yin army, and ten tithes are a battalion, and there is a Yin school, commanding a total of one hundred Yin soldiers.

It is said that the Yin army above the battalion level is a brigade, and the ten battalions are combined into one brigade, and a Yin general is set up to lead it. The 10th Brigade is also an army, and the commander is called Yin Shuai. At present, there are two Yin Shuai in the underworld, and the honorable number is a day tour and a night tour. In some folklore, there are day and night gods, which actually refer to these two.

To get back to the point, after the introduction of these two incentive policies, the number of people who came to sign up for the army in Zuoqiu City increased sharply, and soon exceeded the number of people originally planned to be recruited. The yin cha was very happy, and simply recruited another hundred places. I am already the last group of Yin soldiers to sign up for now, and I still have to participate in the screening.

After filling out the paperwork, I was taken to the other side to get ready for the test. In addition to determining the level of cultivation, the admission criteria for the recruitment of Yin soldiers also include the assessment of martial arts. After all, to be a soldier to fight, you need to know some knives, guns and sticks, and you can't just use yin skills.

I am very confident in my cultivation, at least in this batch of Yin cultivators who have signed up, most of them are only the third level of cultivation, and there are only five or six of them who have reached the fourth level of cultivation. The only thing I need to worry about is the martial arts assessment, after all, my right shoulder has not fully recovered, and I don't know how they will be assessed.

When I was standing in a daze in the team, the yin who was in charge of assessing martial arts noticed me. He called me out of the line and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?" Crippled? ”

I was stunned, wondering how he knew I had a problem with my hand? When I looked down, I realized, "Hey, I'm so stupid!" ”

It turned out that although I removed the brace on my shoulder and the bandage that hung my arm, my right hand was still habitually curled up in front of my chest, which was obviously abnormal!

"No problem!" I quickly replied, and then moved my arm a few times, "My hands are good!" ”

The yin cha still didn't believe it, and demanded: "Since it can still be used, you can practice a set of punches for me now!" ”

"Great!"

I put down my gear and showed him a set of long punches on the spot. This set of long boxing was learned from Wei Dahu when I was in the Longevity Hotel, and it is also the only set of boxing techniques I know.

In fact, during the boxing process, I felt that my right arm was weak and weak, and my movements were a little jerky, and my punches were even less powerful. But fortunately, after a set of punches, I didn't feel any pain, and it is estimated that my right arm will heal in another half a month.

But the yin was clearly an expert, and he still hesitated when he saw that my punches were unripe. At this time, a Yin cultivator who was originally in front of me pointed at me and shouted: "Are you the man who carries the blame?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, but nodded subconsciously.

"The man behind the pot? Why do you want to go to the underworld to be a Yin soldier? "There was another person who recognized me.

"Hmm......" I nodded again, wondering if it was a good or bad thing to be recognized at this time?

When the people around me heard my "flower name", they all gathered around me and greeted me warmly, and at the same time talked about it.

"Yikes! What a pity! Even the backstabbing man has to go to the underworld to be a soldier? ”

"That's it, I won't be able to see your gladiatorial tournament in Zuoqiu City in the future!"

"Hey! Even you yourself are going to the underworld to be a Yin soldier, why do you stay in Zuoqiu City to watch the gladiatorial match? ”

"What if I don't make the choice?"

"Blasphemous man! Blasphemous! I'm a big fan of you! ”

Such a fuss actually messed up the entire recruitment site, and even a few Yin cultivators who were originally participating in the assessment came over to join in the fun. A few yin cha couldn't stand it anymore, and angrily came over to drive the crowd of onlookers back, and ordered everyone to stand back in place, otherwise they would be disqualified.

However, the yin who was still questioning me just now became very interested in me, so he asked me, "Why, are you famous in Zuoqiu City?" ”

I smiled and replied, "I used to be a gladiator, and I was quite popular with the audience!" ”

The person next to me couldn't help but help me again: "He is the hottest gladiator in the gladiatorial arena recently, and he has won ten games in a row!" Do you say he's a cow or not? ”

"Oh? Ten wins in a row? Yin Cha asked with interest, "Then why do you call him a backstabber?" ”

"Look at his shield, it's like an iron pot, so everyone calls him the back pot man!"

"In this way, if he really went to the underworld to be a Yin soldier, wouldn't he walk around with an iron pot on his back every day?" Yin Cha couldn't help but joke, "Well, it just so happens that we are short of a firehead army, or you will be the one?" ”

"Haha! Yeah! He's going to be the most suitable! Hahaha! ”

Everyone burst out laughing. At this time, the yin cha in charge of the recruitment was completely relieved, so he decided to exempt me from the martial arts assessment on the spot and was admitted exceptionally.

After successfully getting a place to enter the underworld, I began to pack up my belongings, say goodbye to all the old friends in Zuoqiu City one by one, and prepare for not being able to return to Zuoqiu City for a long time.

The Longevity Hotel is definitely going to go around. Teng Shuli and the others were a little sorry when they heard that I was going to give up my identity as a gladiator and go to the underworld to be a Yin soldier, but then they still gave support and encouragement.

Teng Shuli said: "Since you kid came to me, I have been very optimistic about you. , as soon as you encounter a storm, you will turn into a dragon! In fact, if you continue to stay in the gladiatorial arena and be a reckless man who only knows how to please the audience, then I really feel sorry for you! ”

"The shopkeeper is right!" Wei Dahu also interjected loudly, "I'm a rough person, I can't say anything as literate as him, but I also think you can have a higher pursuit." There's nothing wrong with being a Yin soldier, maybe you can take this opportunity to rise step by step and become a Yin general and Yin handsome! ”

I smiled and said, "I don't dare to hope to be handsome or something, I hoped to go to the underworld before I went down to Yin City, and this time I can be regarded as getting what I wanted!" ”

"Go ahead! Go ahead! You are mixed like this today, and Lao Tian's spirit in the sky is also happy for you! Yu Lazi also came over and encouraged.

But as soon as he mentioned Tian Laolu, everyone was silent, embarrassed.

Before leaving, I asked Granny Qin to play a pipa for me and look forward to my trip to the underworld. At the end of the song, she sighed: "My pipa is not a divine object after all, and I can't accurately predict the future." However, from the sound of the piano, I heard a little nervousness, I'm afraid that your trip to the underworld will not be very smooth, and there will be twists and turns! ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Since I went down to the underworld, I haven't been able to stay in peace for a few years, and I don't know how many times I have experienced life and death. As long as it's not like a murderer, I'm already satisfied! ”

After saying goodbye to everyone at the Longevity Hotel, I found Lu Dian and Bird Meat again, and invited them to the Enchantress's Bar for one last drink.

In the past, our expedition team had a total of six members, and every time we came, it was lively and lively. But this time, there were only three of us left, and it was still a send-off wine for me, which inevitably seemed a little lonely.

After three rounds of drinking, I pulled the bird meat over and sat next to him, and said to him, "I went to the underworld, and I left a nursing home where no one lived." It was a cause entrusted to me by Tian Laolu, and it was finally built, and I couldn't bear to see it abandoned like this. I want to entrust it to you. ”

As I spoke, I took out a silver ticket of five thousand yin yuan from my body and handed it to the bird meat. This money is enough for the normal expenses of the nursing home for ten years.

Bird Meat held the silver ticket, and let out a rare sigh, "I understand your good intentions. I'm a waste now, and I can't do anything, so I can only eat in an empty nursing home! ”

"What do you say?" I punched him and laughed, "You're still the same bird who can do anything!" It's a sworn friend, so I can ask you for help! ”

"Don't say it, I'm not a fool!" Bird Meat smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "It's okay! With so much money, if it really doesn't work, I'll be a little wronged and come to charge it in person, be an old immortal in advance, and stay here for the rest of my life to support the elderly! ”

Seeing the desolation he said, I didn't know how to comfort him. But since he agreed, he finally solved a worry for me, and it was also a good placement for him.

Finally, the day has come to go to the underworld. Wearing my newly-haired Yin soldier uniform, I walked in the queue and followed a few Yin errands out of Zuoqiu City and headed for the underworld. As I passed the lower door, I couldn't help but look back again and sigh.

In this giant city of the underworld, in less than five years, I have experienced too much sorrow and joy, love and hate, life and death, gained a lot, and lost a lot. This walk should not be a farewell, maybe I will come back one day!
