Chapter 12: The Vanishing Mountain God
When the county lieutenant and Wen Zheng returned to Pingyang Mansion, they learned the news that the Black Mountain thieves were active in the area of Pingyang County for a mysterious cloth, and attacked the convoy of the Wang family of Yueyang County, which was rescued by several government soldiers and has now entered Pingyang County.
The county lieutenant and Wen Zheng glanced at each other, and the bloodstains in the mountain temple were probably related to this matter.
The county lieutenant frowned: "This black mountain thief is becoming more and more rampant, and he dares to make waves under our noses and tell me the details." ”
Lin Chongyuan, the captain of the Mixia Pioneer Battalion, stepped forward to report: "Lord Hui, this time it was Zhang Lu, the head of his subordinates, who led two soldiers to complete the mission on the way back, and met the convoy of Wang Shihao, the eldest young man of the Wang family, in the temple of Pingshan Mountain.
Wang Shihao sought the help of Zhang Lu and other government soldiers, and Zhang Lu, with the assistance of a teenager, found out the two inner ghosts hidden in the Wang family's convoy.
After the inner ghost was exposed, the two sides clashed, and the inner ghost was defeated and killed, but Zhang Lu and others also fell down. It is understood that the target of the Montenegrin pirates is a mysterious cloth that Wang Shihao will trade this time.
When they came to their senses, they were overtaken by the other Montenegrin thieves, and the boy destroyed the cloth in public, and at the same time made the black thieves retreat, and they took the opportunity to escape. ”
Wen Zheng said: "The Black Mountain thieves are so enthusiastic about the people, just for that cloth, it seems that this cloth is very important to it, do you know what this cloth is?"
"I didn't know, according to Zhang Lu, it was just a bunch of disordered line characters, and they couldn't understand what it meant, so we couldn't know the value of the cloth for the time being, and the purpose of the Montenegrin thieves. Lin Chongyuan replied.
The county lieutenant nodded: "It's a pity to destroy it, but if you don't destroy people, you can't come back, and we can't get the cloth, so it's better to destroy it." This teenager is a little anxious and doesn't know where it comes from?
and Zhang Lu, a veteran, has heard of his name for a long time, but it's a pity that he is a soldier and not a general, otherwise he would have been promoted a long time ago. Reward these people for their meritorious deeds, and immediately send troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Montenegrin bandits. Catch as much alive as possible, and find out their purpose and what the origin of the cloth is. ”
Lin Chongyuan said with a smile: "My subordinates have arranged soldiers and horses to go out of the city to search for the Black Mountain thieves." As for that young man, it seems that he was brought by Zhang Lu to join the army in Pingyang Mansion. ”
The county lieutenant's expression moved, and he said to Lin Chongyuan: "Then call them first, I have something to ask them." ”
The county lieutenant thought for a while and then said to Wen Zheng: "You go to the county guard and tell him that there is a mountain god in Pingshan, and he will arrange for the rebuilding of the mountain temple." ”
Wen Zheng and Lin Chongyuan hugged their fists and promised.
At this time, Tianchen and Hua Xiaolou were in the boot camp, and Lao Xu helped the two of them temporarily arrange a place to live. Hua Xiaolou's registration was done quickly, but Tianchen's was quite troublesome because he didn't have a household registration.
Lao Xu asked him where he was from, and he could only pretend to be stupid, he couldn't say that he was from his hometown fairy realm, right? In the end, he simply shirked his amnesia and didn't know anything.
Lao Xu had no choice, so he had to open his eyes and close his eyes to the back door, enter the household registration of Pingyang County, and then go through the relevant procedures.
Lao Xu said to them as he walked: "Let me remind you a few words, many people think that training here is very simple in this new barracks, but this is not the case. Although the training here is not as difficult as the official barracks, it is also very difficult for new recruits. ”
When Lao Xu saw the little fat man's disapproving and indifferent look, he knew that he didn't believe his words, and he didn't get angry, because he had seen a lot of such people.
"Hey, little fat man, don't believe me, what I said is true. I know that you are the young master of the Hua family, and your family has learned a lot, but do you know that although there are not many recruits like you who enter the new barracks every year, there are still some.
Knowing what happened to them, most of them were not as good as ordinary recruits who didn't know anything. As for why, I won't tell you, but you will understand it after you experience it yourself.
By the way, all recruits in the boot camp are equal, regardless of their status. If there is a violation of military law, punishment shall be imposed in accordance with the provisions of military law. No matter how good you are, the specified tasks must be completed, and if you can't complete them, you will also be punished according to military law.
During recruit training, if the performance is too poor, you will be eliminated. The elimination here does not mean that they have been expelled from the barracks, but that they have lost the opportunity to progress.
In the future, when they are assigned to regular military camps, outstanding recruits will be valued, and they will get more benefits, and they will have a greater chance of becoming qi trainees. And those who are not qualified at the bottom can only waste their time at the bottom of the barracks. "Lao Xu didn't say anything, he said enough.
Hua Xiaolou was ignorant, it sounded like the boot camp was not that simple. But he is not afraid, this is the first step for him to realize his dream, no matter how difficult it is, he will get through it.
Tianchen was thoughtful, listening to Lao Xu's meaning, it is estimated that there are many masters in this new barracks. However, Lao Xu said that the criteria for evaluating whether recruits are excellent or not have little to do with the strength of recruits before joining the army. This is not necessarily a good thing for him, a weak young man who is powerless.
Tianchen asked Lao Xu: "I don't know what our recruits do to be qualified, how to be considered excellent?"
Lao Xu said with a smile: "About 100 days of training for recruits, there will be an assessment, and the content of the assessment is uncertain, and it is all decided by the adults above." The results of the assessment are used to judge whether the recruits are qualified and excellent.
Those who are qualified will be admitted to the official barracks, and those who are not qualified will stay in the new barracks for another month and be re-assessed. ”
The two nodded, Tianchen had a bottom in his heart, and he also calculated his next life plan.
A soldier found Lao Xu and said that the county lieutenant wanted to ask Tianchen for questioning. Lao Xu looked at Tianchen, Zhang Lu had told him everything before, he knew what was going on.
So he beckoned to Tianchen and said, "The county lieutenant wants to ask you, you kid behave well, and it will be of great benefit to you in the future if you can be appreciated by adults." ”
Tianchen should be, but he doesn't care much about it. He didn't want to make a contribution, he just wanted to use the army's qi training skills to cultivate and return to the fairy realm.
Hua Xiaolou didn't see it that way, he felt that Tianchen was really capable, and he was also a recruit, but as soon as he came, he was called by the county lieutenant to ask about things, when will he be able to have the ability, make meritorious contributions, and go to the pinnacle of life? The little fat man drooled and began to daydream.
When Tianchen was taken to the place, Zhang Lu, Lin Zi, and Zhu Zi had already arrived. After a while, Huang Baozhong and Ah Zheng's master and apprentice were also brought.
Tian Chen looked at the county lieutenant in front of him, and his intuition told him that this person was very powerful, at least among mortals, this was the person with the strongest aura he had ever seen. Although his temples are slightly white, he is still energetic and his eyes are bright.
When Tianchen was observing the county lieutenant, the county lieutenant was also observing him. Before Tianchen came over, he had already heard Zhang Lu and them narrate the details of the matter. Zhang Lu strongly admired Tianchen, thinking that if it wasn't for him, everyone would have died long ago.
The county lieutenant also admired the courage and wisdom of this young man. He was very curious about what kind of person Tianchen would be, and it wasn't until they met him that he felt that this young man was indeed different.
Hua Shaofeng has been in the barracks all his life, he has read countless people in his life, he has seen too many geniuses, and he has discovered many talents, he has his own pair of discerning eyes.
The feeling that this teenager gave him was very special. As soon as he came in, although his etiquette was very standardized and impeccable, he could feel that this was a proud person to the core.
At all times, you can feel the strong self-confidence or deep sense of superiority that he exudes from the inside out. There is no sense of awe at all because of his identity, and maybe everything around him can't make him care more.
Hua Shaofeng didn't dig deeper, after all, when he arrived at his military camp, he would have time to discover his special features in the future, and now he needed to find out what he wanted to know through the clues they provided.
"I came to you this time because there was a very important event that happened when you were in the Black Mountain Bandits. After thinking for a moment, Lieutenant Hua continued:
"The Pingshan Temple has been abandoned for more than six years, and it turned out that there was a new mountain god last night, and it is speculated that the time is when you fought against the Black Mountain Bandits. There will be visions when you become a god, I wonder if you have noticed the situation at that time?"
Zhang Lu was quite surprised, it was a deserted temple when he entered the mountain temple, and he thought that he had remembered it wrong, but it turned out that the mountain god was only later. He couldn't help but glance at Tianchen.
Everyone was surprised, and Tianchen was no exception, at least on the surface. Huajun Wei Qi said: "Haven't you all seen any visions?
Zhang Lu smiled bitterly: "My lord, we have been under *, we have been unconscious for a while, we really haven't seen any special situations when we are awake, maybe the gods you said happened when we fainted." It was this kid Tianchen who told us about the earth, and we knew that there was a mountain god in the temple. ”
Lieutenant Hua looked at Tianchen: "Oh, how did you find the mountain god?"
Tianchen trampled Zhang Lu countless times in his heart, who made him talk too much!
"Lord Hui, I was also in a coma at that time, and I was the last to wake up, and I was woken up by Zhang Lu. So nothing special was found.
The reason why I discovered the existence of the mountain god was because when I was unconscious, I vaguely heard the call of the mountain god, and then I gradually woke up.
The accomplices of the Black Mountain Thieves said that if they were poisoned by her, they would only indulge in a dream forever and die, but in fact we did not die and woke up.
At that time, there were only Montenegrin thieves around us, and it was impossible for the Montenegrin thieves to save us kindly, so I guessed that it could only be the mountain god who saved us. That's all I know. ”
Lieutenant Hua remained silent, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he also knew that he really couldn't ask anything useful. He sighed:
"Recently, I've noticed that this screen mountain is really weird. The mountain god disappeared several times inexplicably, and the appearance was also inexplicable. And just when you were in danger, there happened to be a mountain god who was pardoned and saved you, is this a coincidence or is there any connection?" Hua Shaofeng couldn't understand.
Hearing this, Tianchen's expression froze, and he noticed the sentence in front of the county lieutenant, "The mountain god has disappeared inexplicably several times", why did the previous Pingshan mountain god disappear inexplicably? And several times?
This was very strange, and his intuition made him feel bad. There may be a problem here, don't be kind enough to just save the beggar, and at the same time push it into another fire pit. You have to figure out what happened before this, otherwise where can you feel at ease?
