Chapter 47: Bai Ya's apprenticeship
Du Yuesong stood on the high platform, looking at the dense crowd standing below, and smiled bitterly in his heart. In the past, the largest number of people in the training camp was about 1,200, but this time it was my turn to preside, but the number of people was so large. At first there were 2,000 people, but after a month, some left for various reasons, and others were forcibly evicted for violating the rules. Despite this, there are still more than 1,800 people, which is still a huge team that is difficult to manage.
After all, this is not a military camp, and almost all of them are young people, so Du Yuesong feels that it is a little difficult to manage. If it can be managed in the way of the army, it will save him a lot of heart, but it is a pity that the Spirit King values this training camp very much, so he can't do everything.
"You've been studying here for a month. But the first month is just to learn some of the most basic knowledge, to learn some of the knowledge that you need to know no matter what kind of person you become in the future. Although these contents are a bit boring, if you don't even know these things, you are no longer worthy of living on this spiritual continent. ”
"I know that many people have started to learn the art of combat in private, but of course, if you have a good grasp of the basics, I have no objection to doing so. The purpose of this meeting is to tell you about this. The war in Xiling has started, and the frontline battle reports are often updated in the bulletin board here, and I believe everyone has seen it. The war has affected our homeland, and we should take up arms to resist. But in battle, reward and glory, pain and casualties, are all relative. If you want to go to the front, we should teach our own people excellent fighting skills, but if you want to contribute to the country in the rear, you can also learn some other skills here. ”
"This afternoon, I need you to gather your will and your talents. Tomorrow, when the elite generals of the clan arrive, they can arrange suitable masters with you to learn practical and practical skills. Du Yuesong stood on the high platform and explained to everyone from beginning to end, without half a word of nonsense.
When everyone heard this, there was a burst of cheers, and then there was a lot of discussion, and the square that had been quiet fell into a noise again.
When the voice subsided, Du Yuesong shouted, and the place was calm again. "After you have apprenticed, you have to obey the arrangements of your respective masters, but the rules here are still to be followed. In order to test the results of your practice, there will be actual training tasks assigned to you every once in a while, and if you perform poorly in the training, you will also be disqualified. So this time, I hope you can all take it seriously, if you don't work hard now, you will go to the battlefield in the future, and it will be difficult to save your life. ”
"The minimum time to practice the art of war is three months, and after three months, if you can get the approval of your master and complete the final examination, you can leave here and go outside to make meritorious deeds. If you have mediocre qualifications and do not study hard, you can stay here for a maximum of two years, and after the two years, if you do not achieve results, you will have to leave this place and go on your own. Whether the future is successful or nothing, everything will start tomorrow. I wish you all success in your cultivation and contribute to our clan as soon as possible. ”
After saying this, Du Yuesong ended today's speech and took the lead to walk off the high platform and leave. When everyone in the audience heard this, most of them were enthusiastic. That's what they're here for, and now they've finally waited for this moment, and their hearts are naturally surging.
Xing Xuan, Yin Xin and others were also full of fighting spirit, and these gloomy winds could be seen from their faces. At this time, Yu Feng, who was surrounded by the noise here, was no longer tired, and he looked at the high morale of the crowd around him, but he was a little more worried about his ability in his heart.
I am already lagging behind others in terms of congenital conditions, and my acquired cultivation is also one step behind others. Xing Xuan, who came here with him, has been learning marksmanship for many days, but he has gained nothing in this month.
The crowd on the square gradually dispersed, and Yu Feng and Yin Xin were also ready to return to their residences. This afternoon, I reported my wishes and investigated my talents, so that I could arrange for a master to teach the exercises, so people honestly went back to their rooms and waited. Yu Feng and Yin Xin were walking back, and suddenly Yin Xin's face changed, as if he saw something, and immediately turned around and stopped looking forward.
Finding that Yin Xin was wrong, Yu Feng looked forward, and in the sky in front of him, a man sat on a guqin, galloping from far and near. This person Yu Feng didn't know, but from the outside, he was upright, but I don't know why Yin Xin would have such a big reaction when he saw this person.
"Do you know him?" Yu Feng asked Yin Xin, but his eyes were still looking ahead.
"Hmm. Yin Xin nodded, "Let's go from this side, let's take a detour, and I'll tell you in detail when I go back, I'm afraid I will be discovered by him here." ”
Yu Feng turned his head and glanced at Yin Xin, feeling as if he was very afraid of the person who was flying here in front of him, although he didn't know why, he still answered and made a detour with him to return to his residence. Before leaving, Yu Feng glanced at the man again, only to see that he flew straight towards the east building where Du Yuesong was, and it seemed that he didn't look at the two of them at all.
In Du Yuesong's room, a man pushed the door in, it was the person Yu Feng and Yin Xin saw outside just now, this person was Ren Wensheng.
"Brother Song. As soon as he entered the door, Ren Wensheng shouted. Du Yuesong in the room was stunned for a moment, after all, no one had ever shouted himself like this here. Then he turned his head and saw that he recognized the person. "Wen Sheng is here. He stood up from his chair and welcomed Ren Wensheng into the room.
"You're still here quite early, I heard that the Spirit King sent you to Xiling to investigate the information of the demons, I thought you wouldn't come back soon. ”
Ren Wensheng seemed to be very familiar with Du Yuesong, he unceremoniously took the teacup himself, poured a glass of water and drank it. "A few days ago, I just came back from Xiling, and I made a report to Tianling, and I met Qikang, and he asked me to come here to contribute to the training, and it just so happened that I didn't come back to see the master for some days, so I agreed to come down and came here by the way. ”
"Oh, Ren Lao has been in good health recently, although I have been here for about a month, I have not found time to visit. Recently, there have been a lot of affairs here, and when I have some free time, I will definitely go to greet him. Du Yuesong said as he pulled over a chair and asked Ren Wensheng to sit down.
"The master lives here alone, although he is pure and does not care about the world, but he is getting older and older, and his body is not as strong as before. But it's okay to be leisurely and don't have to worry about doing your best. Ren Wensheng drank all the water in the cup and sat down, looking a little tired. "I just ran an errand for the master, so I came over directly, I heard that something happened to you here, what happened. ”
"It's been more than half a month ago, and it's been resolved now, so it's okay, you don't have to worry about it. Du Yuesong roughly told Ren Wensheng about the events of the past month, and there was some concealment in it.
After Ren Wensheng learned about it before and after, he also felt that this matter was a little strange, although he intended to help Du Yuesong investigate, but he was rejected.
"Now that the front-line war is tight, Wen Sheng is a capable officer under the Spirit King, so naturally he must focus on the overall situation, just leave it to me here, you better put your battlefield on the front line of Xiling. When Du Yuesong spoke, he still had a smile on his face, and he tried his best to make Ren Wensheng feel that this matter was not a big deal, and then changed the topic. "You've been in Xiling for a few days, and I don't know what the situation is there. In my case, I can only get information on the front line through the military line newspaper from Tianling every day, which is not comprehensive. You happened to be here today, but you have to give me a good report and let me know about the situation in the world. ”
Speaking of this, Ren Wensheng's words increased, after all, he had been in Xiling for more than half a month, and he didn't know a lot of things.
Through Ren Wensheng's narration, Du Yuesong knew that the origin of the demon clan was in Keyin, a subordinate village of Xilu, because there were already at least two batches of demon reinforcements, which suddenly appeared from this place. There is a protective barrier around the village, and Ren Wensheng can't force his way in, and when he tries to break in, he also touches the alarm technique, and is almost discovered by the garrison. With such strict protection, Ren Wensheng speculated that this must be the place to connect the Demon Realm.
In addition, Ren Wensheng also figured out the opponent's defensive position, but this information was useless to Du Yuesong.
As for the dynamics of some of the core characters of the demon race, he also knows some, but not all. Mo Yuan had left Xilu again and again, and Ren Wensheng only knew that one of them was to Baichun, and the remaining few times he didn't know where he went. Marshal Zhong Yao and his father Zhong Zhaoqi had just entered the spirit realm not long ago, but they disappeared on the second day. It has been a month since the young master's demon heart left Xilu, but he has never seen him return. As for the others, according to the order of Demon Yuan, they began to expand to the south and northwest, and while expanding their territory, they also hoped to unify the west and avoid the passive situation of being attacked from all sides.
"I still remember the day the Demon Heart left Xilu, I found him, but I relented for a moment and didn't solve him. I didn't expect to see him back to Xilu after that, and I stayed in Xilu for so long, and I didn't see him again. Ren Wensheng recalled, "By the way, I was at Xilu's place, but I saw He Xing." ”
"Congratulations. Du Yuesong was stunned when he heard this, "Didn't I hear that he joined the Demon Clan, Wen Sheng saw him, but what did he find." ”
"Hmph, because the master valued him so much back then, but now that the world has changed, he He Xing is the first person to surrender to the enemy. I persuaded him to come back with me, but he refused, claiming that he still had important matters to stay in Xilu, and when he was done, he would return to Lushen to confess his guilt to the master. But a month has passed, but there is still no movement from him, and I should not have believed him in the first place. Ren Wensheng thought about it for a while, and said again: "By the way, I remember that He Xing's son, He Zhang, is still practicing in Lushen. I don't know what happened to this He Zhang. ”
"He Zhang. Du Yuesong thought for a moment, "He Zhang has been here to practice a long time ago, and he is not a disciple of intensive training, and I don't know him too well. However, after He Xing defected to the demon clan, He Zhang also attracted people's attention for a while. Because of his father, the people did not have a good relationship with him. However, I heard that he was now practicing harder than before, and it seemed that he wanted to go to Xilu himself and find out about his father. ”
In this way, He Zhang, this kid is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, but his father is ...... Alas, I stopped him not far from the south of Xilu City, injured him, but let him go back to Xilu, but seeing that he tried his best to escort the two young ladies of the Bai family out of the city at that time, he still seemed to have some conscience, so I let him go back to Xilu, I don't know if it was right or wrong. Ren Wensheng shook his head as he spoke.
"Speaking of which, I think of one thing, Wen Sheng came to Lu Shen this time, and I don't know if he has the intention of accepting apprentices. If so, I'll introduce you to one. ”
"That's why we asked me to come here. But now that the war has started, I'm afraid I don't have much time to be here. Therefore, I only bring five people at most, and if there are more, I am afraid that I will not have the leisure time to take care of them. ”
"Wensheng has a heart, it doesn't matter how much effort he does. Du Yuesong smiled and replied: "The second daughter of the Bai family escorted by He Xing is also somewhat familiar with me. When he visited Xilu that year, he was also taken care of by his father. Now that I'm practicing here, I should take care of it. That Bai Ya was looking for a good teacher to teach him spiritual spells, but Du was unable to do this, and he didn't know if Wen Sheng was willing to accept him as a disciple. ”
