Volume 2 Linglong Pavilion, Lore Sticker Chapter 3 Viewing the Ceremony
After all, the small episode was caused by the three of them by themselves, and fortunately it had nothing to do with others, no one was innocently implicated, and Zhao Kai soon fell asleep.
However, after only two hours, a shrill bell rang throughout the ground, as if the workshop machine on the top had broken down, and let out a constant wail.
After waking up, Zhao Kai wanted to continue to lie down, although he couldn't sleep because of the noise, at least he wanted to close his eyes and recuperate in this piercing ringing. However, the old people around quickly got up and folded the quilts, fetched water and washed, and the whole process was done in one go, as if there was a demon urging behind them, and they didn't dare to pause at all.
Seeing this, Zhao Kai also understood that something was wrong, it turned out that it was not the machine that was broken, but the unique wake-up bell. Thinking of the picture of yesterday's whipping, he didn't dare to delay, tried to simplify the process, and finally followed the old man out of the lounge together, neatly lined up and returned to yesterday's venue.
He, the new group, had learned the lesson of yesterday, and they didn't dare to violate the rules and follow the old people, but the three people who were beaten yesterday were not so lucky. All three of them were also woken up, but one of them was too injured to get out of bed, and the other two thought that the instructor could not do anything to them, so they continued to pretend to sleep.
Zhao Kai shook his head helplessly in his heart, he could already predict the consequences.
Sure enough, Wang Wu counted the number of people, and when he found that something was wrong, he paused, he snorted viciously and walked to the lounge not far away.
At this time, the rest of the team had been assembled, and the instructor led them up the stairs in all directions. It turned out that this underground Shura field was extremely cleverly designed, and apparently it occupied a huge area, with a full ten wide upward exits to facilitate the passage of a group of people.
After that, there were screams from the lounge, and the three people who had just been whipped relived the pain of their skin and flesh again, but Wang Wu seemed to have made up his mind to be ruthless, until the three of them stopped calling and completely stopped breathing, then they took the whip, wrapped it around their waists, and came out and greeted the wandering teaching assistants and servants, and then the three corpses that only saw blood and white bones were ruthlessly carried away in all directions.
They died in humiliation, and it took a while for Zhao Kai to come to his senses, he had gradually figured out the rules here, that is, everything must be done according to the rules, everything must be implemented according to what the instructor said, and he can't be lazy, can't lie, can't violate in the slightest, otherwise he will pay for his life.
The air outside was fresh but cold, and the winter sky was not yet dawn, and it was obviously only the early hours of the morning. Under the leadership of the instructor, all the teams began the training at the beginning of the day along the mountain road on the outskirts of the city.
The instructor followed the command closely beside the discharge, not slowly, but not too fast, but as time passed, the distance kept increasing without stopping.
Gradually, at last there were people who collapsed or slowed down to rest, but they were greeted only by cruel whipping and the renunciation of their precious lives. Not only are they newcomers, but one or two of the other teams will be pulled down by the team, and most of them can't withstand the whipping of the instructors.
Although Zhao Kai has never received such high-intensity training, his physical fitness is excellent, as long as he gradually adapts to it, he can keep up with the team, and even have spare energy.
When the sky was dark, everyone came back in a circle, descended the stairs, and returned to the gloomy field underground, and breakfast time began.
Pushing open the stone door, a huge dining place appeared in front of Zhao Kai's eyes, the meal had been prepared, and it was obviously enough, the stone tables and stone chairs were divided into different divisions, and the dining positions of each group had obviously been fixed. Everyone took their own tray to cook, not the light porridge and side dishes that Zhao Kai expected, but it was very rich, with a wide variety of meat, and everyone was free to serve the rice as they wished.
All that was left of the venue was the sound of empty bowls and spoons clashing with rice, and no one spoke, and the silence was a little unreal.
Zhao Kai only served his weekday breakfast, unlike some newcomers, they cooked as much as possible, and most of them also picked meat dishes. The first is because he thinks that there may be a limit to the meal time, or that he must finish eating, and the second is that it is indeed enough for breakfast, and if he eats again, it may cause discomfort and affect the training in the future.
Zhao Kai guessed correctly, the meal time is limited, although it is not as hasty as when you get up, but you also need to keep picking up the food. And everyone's meal must be eaten, so this morning Zhao Kai's team, a newcomer who doesn't know the rules, lost two more children.
After that, yesterday's stump training began, and although the motionless wooden man game was boring, it tested endurance. There is only a small amount of rest and drinking time in between, and it is necessary to follow the rules and set the time. After lunch, everyone got some rest, and then spent the whole afternoon training in the stump position.
The training of the crowd was carried out in the center of the entire underground Shura field, and a large area of this central area was covered by more than two dozen competitive rings, and the children in the ring who looked like they had grown up were about the same as the rest of the people, and they were still wielding their blades as best to inflict a deadly attack on the enemy. If one side loses, the other side continues to defend, and the feng shui rotates, in a circle, everyone will be knocked down, and then stand up and knock others down.
Even if the bloody picture can't have a big impact on people at one time, this whole day of observation will always leave some imprints on people.
Dinner, standing on the pile, resting, the whole process has been silent.
This time I went to bed earlier than yesterday, after all, there was nothing important to break the rules today, but it was still late at night. Zhao Kai wrapped his tired body, collapsed on the bed, and soon fell asleep, and compared to last night, there were five fewer children in this hut tonight.
This oppressive life, which lasted for five days, changed, and the change was that the silent standing posts were replaced by more professional training.
After breakfast, the children gathered around the ring according to the previous rules. Then Wang Wu led everyone to push open the stone door on the side that they had not yet entered, and Zhao Kai, who walked into it, was not only stunned, but also saw that the semi-arc-shaped underground field inside the door was full of all kinds of training equipment, there were cold-blooded assembly equipment that was lined up below the knife array but hung with ropes for people to climb to exercise endurance, there were vertical ropes with spikes and needles to exercise the agility of the limbs when climbing, and oblique bamboo poles formed a narrow road to exercise balance. There are also individual strength building tools, and this is just a small corner as far as the eye can see.
All the teams came in, and according to Zhao Kai's guess, there were at least more than 400 people who were brushed down in the past five days. However, the entire arc field was empty, because the arc was large, Zhao Kai could only see the rest of the two teams of thirty people.
Only then did Zhao Kai know the regional division of the entire underground site, and he couldn't help but sigh at the ingenuity of its design. The whole underground is actually a semicircle, and the straight side of the semicircle constitutes the rest room and the huge dining area for the instructors and children, and the half of the arc is a fixed training area, the half of the arc is connected as a whole, and the hollow area between the arc and the straight edge is twenty tall arenas. As for ventilation, it relies on countless small hidden holes, and drinking water and food should be transported by manpower, but the ten stairs still seem to be a little more.
There is also the noisy sound of workshops and chicken farms on the ground, and the hill on the outskirts is obviously occupied by a certain big man, and no one has come here at all.
Wang Wuyi and the instructors did not let everyone directly contact those dangerous combination equipment, but only asked everyone to carry out strength training and basic sensitivity and endurance training according to the specified tasks.
A day later, dozens of people were eliminated and lost their lives, and everyone realized that the previous stump was many times more comfortable than this high-intensity orderly training.
Day after day of brutal training, there is basically no verbal communication, as long as the rules are violated or the task is not completed, it is a severe beating, and the previous five or six hundred people are now only more than four hundred.
More than ten days have passed, Zhao Kai has survived the earlier training, and there is no major problem after adapting, but there are only four people left in the same Dafeng, all of them are boys, including the calm boy who slept on Zhao Kai's right side.
But in the last five days, few people have observed the change in the atmosphere of the entire underground, because there are no more fights in the ring, as if they are all dead. Zhao Kai had already noticed this change, and he even saw a burning heat hidden in the eyes of the instructor recently.
In the dark underground, in the silence of the night, most of the children are already asleep, and even when they are awake, most of them do not think about what day it is. However, Zhao Kai didn't let go, he counted carefully every day, and he developed this habit since he left the palace, at first because he missed his family, as a kind of relief, and then it really only became a habit. He opened his eyes, he cherished the rest time the most, and he really refused to sleep for a long time, because tomorrow is the last day of the end of the lunar year, and tomorrow the Dafeng Palace should also be lit up to welcome the New Year, I hope that my mother and father can forget this year's unhappiness, he thought.
The piercing bell rang, and today's devil training began again. However, to everyone's surprise, after breakfast, everyone was regrouped near the center ring and began to stand in the pile training.
A group of no more than sixty people appeared in front of everyone's eyes, coming in from outside, everyone was familiar with it, and the fierce battle in the ring made everyone dare not forget the memory.
Twenty rings, each with three people, a large number of never-before-seen managers entered to act as referees, and at the end of the line came three well-dressed and imposing men, one of whom was Liu Qing.
All around were saluting, "Hall Master." "The hall master. Respectful voices came and went.
The referee stood still, and the three sides of the battle of the twenty rings stood still, and a rumbling sound was heard, and a huge platform rose at the top of the central ring, and over the heads of everyone in the ring, automatically descended the stairs, like a watchtower-like existence. The man known as the hall master took Liu Qing and another person to the high platform, clapped his hands, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
A serious voice sounded, the man was very young, with cold eyebrows, but his temperament was very calm, "First of all, tell you new children about the rules." ”
He glanced at the team of four hundred people a week, and said calmly, "Most of you don't know what this place is, but after all these days of training, you should at least understand how to survive, right?"
There was silence all around, and no one answered, "Very well, it seems that you all understand the rules, so I will tell you where you came and why you were brought here." ”
The shining light of the spirit stone shone on his body, glowing with a ghostly light, solemn and solemn.
"This is a place to train his subordinates for a force called Linglong Pavilion, which is divided into five independent institutions, namely the Shadow Killing Palace, the Secret Investigation Division, the Liang Tower, the Dingfeng Hall, and the Red Sleeve Move. ”
Hearing the red-sleeved move, Zhao Kai chuckled in his heart, thinking of the prosperous restaurant that he had followed Liu Qing into and the graceful woman.
The sound was obviously transmitted by the secret method, and there was no echo in the surrounding emptiness, clear enough to enter everyone's mind, "And we are here the training base of the Shadow Killing Palace, and the Shadow Killing Palace, as the name suggests, is the place where killers are trained." He snapped his fingers and spoke patiently.
"As for the role of the other four places, I won't say much about it, anyway, as long as you survive, you will naturally have a chance to know, and those who die are not qualified to know. The faint words are indeed piercing the heart.
"Let's talk about your training, usually training constantly, there will be tests every year, in fact, it is not so troublesome, there are only three steps, that is, live, live, and live. He smiled, but there was silence.
"Oh, yes. Also, regardless of age, as long as your group of people stay here for seven years, there will only be one last big test left, but in the end, we can only leave twenty people to enter the Shadow Killing Pavilion, and many of them will die. "There was a depressed demon living in the body of this hall master, and by this time, the voice had changed, and it had become distorted and terrifying.
"Because most of the people who live to the next seven years are adults, we call this test a rite of passage, and you newcomers are the ones who observe it. The most important thing is that you will have to struggle for a post for the next seven years, and even lose your life, because only those who get the post are eligible to take the final exam. This post we call "
"Lore sticker!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly looked at the ring, but the forwarders who fought very fiercely were extremely calm at the moment, without the slightest wave, and the wooden people stood in general, only their eyes were bloodshot, maintaining their usual ferocity.
There can only be twenty people alive, which means that only one person in each ring can live! Zhao Kai was so nervous at the moment that it seemed that even his blood was frozen. And the children around them also showed frightened expressions, and now there were more than 400 of them, but in the end only 20 of them could survive! They did not dare to imagine their fate after that.
"Alright, there's not much to say to you old students, let's get started. ”
