On April 29, a semi-cloudy day, Zhou Ang was about to officially join the company.

Early in the morning, Zhou Cai's was busy cooking and cooking, the clothes that had been washed at home had been returned, and the clothesline had been untied and put away, Zhou Ang put on new clothes and new shoes and walked around the yard to get used to the shoes, Zhou Zihe finished feeding the chickens, and ran over to touch Zhou Ang's new clothes.

Not long after she was born, their father died, and she didn't have the appearance of her father in her memory, but she purely felt that her brother was so majestic in this dress at this time.

After the meal, Zhou Cai's personally put on Zhou Ang's soft-footed servant, and the mother and daughter stood at the door and watched him leave.

From today onwards, the Zhou family will be a family of people who eat public meals again.

It's just that in addition to a touch of pride on Zhou Cai's face, there is also a trace of worry that is difficult to hide.

The time of duty in the yamen was much later than the spontaneous morning work time of most families in the Banzai Fang, so Zhou Ang wore brand new clothes and went out, and almost didn't meet anyone along the way.

When I arrived at Chengde Fang, I entered the county Zhu Yamen, met with Gao Jing, chatted a few words, and then Du Yi came over and was responsible for taking Zhou Ang into the company.

The formalities that should be taken are still to be followed.

Fill out a personal checklist, sign and file and report, and then receive your own waist badge.

When all this is done, Zhou Ang will be regarded as an official yamen clerk.

Then he was not in a hurry to join the company, Du Yi first took him to roughly turn around the county Zhu Yamen.

Of course, the county Zhu Yamen is not as big as the county Yamen, but you must know that there are a total of four officials living in the county Yamen, the county order, the county Cheng, the county lieutenant, and the chief bookkeeper, all of whom work there, but the county Zhu Yamen is only one official.

The yard is quite large.

On both sides of the main hall are two small cross-courtyards, one side is the warehouse, where weapons, paper and ink, quilts and other things are stored, and on the other side is everyone's office place, and there is a small archive room.

Behind the main hall are two halls, and on both sides of the two halls, there are also two cross-courtyards.

The one on the right is the stable, and next to it is the side door of the yamen. Thatched huts are also here.

The one on the left is larger, but there is only one row of main houses, both compartments are empty on the white ground, weapons racks, arrow targets and other things are placed, the yard is paved with sand, some people are practicing weapons, and some people are practicing shooting.

It is said that there is a basement in this courtyard that is used to hold extremely dangerous people, but it is now empty.

If you are transferred from other places, you can apply to live in this courtyard without rent, but you can't bring your family with you.

After the third courtyard, there is a small garden in the middle after entering, which is very beautifully maintained, and both sides are also cross-courtyard. According to Du Yi, the courtyard on the left is where the county Zhu and his family live, and the courtyard on the right is a small kitchen, and a few empty carriages are parked. The corner gate is here. The servants of the yamen also lived here.

The whole big courtyard went around, some went in to see, and some were not easy to enter, but Zhou Ang still understood the general layout of this courtyard.

Typical left heavy right light.

On the left, from front to back, is the office of the people, the martial arts training ground and the dormitory of the military personnel, and below is the dungeon, and the residence of the prefectural secretary. On the right are the storehouse, the latrine, the stables, the servants' quarters, and the kitchenette.

turned around, so that Zhou Ang knew where to solve something, Du Yi was not in a hurry to take Zhou Ang to the office place, but first took him back to the warehouse, gave an order, and ordered someone to open the arsenal.

The four wall lamps and candles were lit, and the small room without windows suddenly brightened up a lot.

In the middle is an open space, surrounded by several shelves of various weapons.

Mainly knives, swords, guns, sticks, and whistle sticks.

On one of the shelves lay dozens of bows and countless bundles of arrows.

Zhou Ang looked around, and on a shelf in the corner, he found that there were still darts!

The weapons here, of course, belong to standard weapons, mass-manufactured, and they are exactly the same.

Swords, sticks, etc., Zhou Ang was actually not too interested, but he still walked over, picked up a sword, and pulled it open—suddenly the cold light was dazzling.

Even if Zhou Ang is a person who doesn't understand weapons, he still intuitively understands at the first time that although this kind of weapon is made and forged in batches, no matter the material or the process, it is obviously not something that the craftsmen in the blacksmith shop outside can do.

Draw the sword out of the sheath, and the feel is acceptable.

Du Yi, the principal, had been standing behind him, and said with a smile at this time: "Each person has a saber or saber, so you can take it and pick it at will." If you need anything else, don't bother, you go back and write a note up, and ask the county to use it. ”

Zhou Ang let out an "oh" and turned his head to see a few short swords on another shelf.

So he put the sword back into its sheath, put it back, and went over and picked up a short sword.

It is also a standard weapon, pulled out and held in the hand, much lighter than a sword, but still full of texture.

Du Yi behind him said: "The main sword is three feet six inches long, one inch and eight minutes wide, and the short sword is two feet eight inches long and one inch and two minutes wide. ”

Zhou Ang shook the short sword in his hand, pulled a small sword flower, turned around and smiled: "I want this!"

Looking at it again by the light of the candle, the sword body was not flawless, so he put the sword into the sheath, and went over to pick up the long sword that he had just put back, and said, "How about these two swords?"

Du Yi immediately nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Then he turned his head to the person who was in charge of the treasury: "I will order someone to send the strips of the short sword later, and you will send the two swords selected by Clerk Zhou later." ”

The man immediately nodded, "No." ”

............

Out of the warehouse, the two walked in front of the lobby, Du Yi smiled and said, "Let's go, go and meet my colleagues." ”

As he spoke, he explained: "Our Lingzhou is a big county, but it is only a county, at present, there are seven military personnel in our yamen, including Shanggao County Zhu, a total of eight people, fifty auxiliary soldiers, a small part of which is placed in the city gate and other places, most of them will have daily duty, and they will only be used when they need to be sent out to blockade." In addition, our yamen is equipped with six marksmen, and you also saw them that day. ”

"Almost all of the servants and clerks in the yamen were involved in various incidents, and then they came in, and they were not the same as you. You won't be working with them. ”

Speaking of this, he pointed his finger to the west and said, "The county Zhu Yamen over there is much more powerful than us, there are more cultivators, and the rank is also high, the strength is much stronger than ours, and the armament is also more sufficient, and they are even equipped with a talisman. You also saw it the last time you caught the weasel demon, and it was the talisman given by the county. ”

Yes?

Wait a minute......

The front is okay, I can probably understand it, and I understand that they call the cultivators "cultivators", but the last sentence, Zhou Ang was a little confused for a moment.

Talisman?

After thinking about it, he was a little cautious, but he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Fu Master?"

When he asked, Du Yi was stunned for a moment.

But he quickly understood, and explained with a smile: "Talisman masters and instrument masters have both been specially studied in Chang'an, and they are at least the sixth order! But relatively speaking, there are more talismans, because it is said that they are easier to cultivate, but it is more difficult to cultivate instrumentalists." ”

"Therefore, although we are a large county, we are only equipped with a talisman master, and there is no artifact master. ”

After a pause, it seemed that he was afraid that Zhou Ang still didn't understand, and he deliberately explained: "The talisman master is very powerful! It is said that it is rationed to the county, but in fact, he is only responsible for making some standing talismans for the county, and only when it is very important, he will occasionally help out, and most of the time, he is not involved in these things at all." Even Jun Zhu respects him very much and doesn't treat him as a real subordinate. ”

Zhou Ang was still a little confused.

But he quickly extracted a point from Du Yi's words that he was most suitable to ask, and then asked, "Master Fu...... Does it have to be at least the sixth order?"

Du Yi nodded as a matter of course, "That's nature." If you are less than the sixth order, you can't see the wandering aura around you, so naturally you can't talk about control and communication. Therefore, the starting point of the talisman master and the instrument master is the sixth order. ”

Yes?

"Because the production of talismans and instruments requires cultivators to have a strong ability to communicate with the aura, it is said that there have been low-level people who can do it before, but that kind of genius is too few, so it has gradually become customized for hundreds of years, and it is from the sixth order that it will turn to the path of the talisman and the instrument master. ”

Yes?

That...... That......

Zhou Ang wanted to ask, then don't you usually have a "visualization state"? Can't you see those wandering aura?

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Too revealing of yourself.

No matter what others do, they first expose the fact that they can see it.

At this time, it seemed that Zhou Ang was in a daze, so Du Yi smiled again: "Brother Brother Tianzi killed a weasel demon alone, presumably the demon yuan is still there with you, right? So, if you're willing to sell that weasel demon's demon yuan to our yamen, it's worth a lot of money!"

After a pause, he said: "When the time comes, Gao Xianzhu can ask someone to make a 'small vessel', and we can have one more magic weapon in the yamen!"

"Ahh......h That one...... You say Demon Yuan! No need, I'm ...... There are other uses. ”
