An old man with black hair in a yellow robe looked in the direction of the village and asked, "Who is that?"
"Gu An, a catcher under Yuan Shan."
Yang Ling said softly.
Tianshuo, the leader of Ping'an County Wufu Mansion, looked at Yuan Shan aside: "Oh, Yuan Shan, I never expected that your county government has such a genius. What is his specific boxing power?"
"Haha, Palace Master Zhang deserves the award. Gu An's actual boxing strength is only over 20,000 kilograms, which is equivalent to the second level of Condensation Pill."
Yuan Shan said truthfully.
"More than 20,000 kilograms." Zhang Tianshuo pondered for a moment, then stroked his beard and smiled: "Although the distance was far and I couldn't hear what they said clearly, those five teenagers stopped him together. There must be some purpose, right?"
Yang Ling's expression did not change and he said with a smile: "Haha, Master Zhang is joking. From my point of view, it is just a fight between young people who are arrogant and refuse to obey the other."
Zhang Tianshuo smiled and said nothing.
Dongfang Runhong and others quickly returned to the slope.
"Send them back," Yang Ling said.
"yes."
Dongfang Runhong began to order his team members to send Wang Chi and others, whose arms were broken by Gu An, back to Ping'an County.
He himself stood a little further away next to Tao Yu, who had a gloomy face.
"Tsk tsk, Gu An is so strong that he can easily defeat five of them. Do you think he is still in danger?"
Listening to Dongfang Runhong's pointed words.
Tao Yu squinted slightly and looked at the village below: "How do I know if there is any danger here?"
Dongfang Runhong raised his right eyebrow and nodded: "Well, I understand."
…
Within the village.
After the farce just now, when the young man who came to take the assessment looked at Gu An again, there was a lot of awe on his face.
Gu An also knew that he would be able to relax a lot in the next short period of time.
Return your attention to exploring the village.
Gu An discovered that some houses had stalls at the door, and some had baskets and buckets.
Suddenly, Gu An's pupils shrank slightly, and there were still water drops on the wall of the bucket.
But Gu An knew very well that it had not rained in recent days, so where did the water drops in the bucket come from?
I looked up at the sky, it was already evening; if it was early morning dew, it would have dried up long ago under the sun.
In this way, this bucket has been used by someone; or it is not a person...
"Hey, come and see!"
While Gu An was thinking, several teenagers who had wandered to the center of the village were shouting to him.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you find anything?"
The teenagers were asking questions and without stopping, they ran towards the center of the village.
Gu An was also among them.
When we arrived at the central square of the village, many teenagers were already gathered in front of us.
Seeing Gu An coming, he naturally separated a path for him. Soon, Gu An saw the scene in the middle.
In the center, there is a huge stone tablet with many words densely engraved on it.
The boy who first discovered the stone tablet read it out slowly.
"In the third year of the Qian Yuan Dynasty, general Xiao Qianqian put down the rebellion and killed the Tao family in Yuzhou. Tao Jian, Tao Yun, Tao Yan... 3,376 people were here.
This monument was specially erected to suppress his soul and prevent him from returning to heaven."
After seeing what was written above, Gu An searched the memory in his mind.
Today is the twenty-fourth year of Mogasuri, that is, what happened in the twenty-first year.
It seems that at that time, the three states of Jiuzhou, Yu, You, and He under the rule of Da Qian rose up in rebellion against the imperial court, but were suppressed by the army sent by Xiao Yuhan.
The Youzhou Tao family written on the stele was probably one of the leading families at that time.
Seeing this, Gu An couldn't help but sigh secretly.
A big family like this with more than 3,000 people could be destroyed at any time. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of strength.
If the Tao family also had a martial saint, what would the situation be like?
Your surname is Tao?
Could it be related to Tao Yu and Tao San?
As soon as this idea came up, Gu An quickly discarded it.
If it had anything to do with it, how dare he, Tao Yu, dare to go to the Evil Suppression Department without changing his name and gender in such a big way?
After having a general understanding, Gu An walked to a house.
"Squeak."
Open the door.
The layout of the house is very simple, with five beds close to the wall, a square table with four benches in the middle, and nothing else.
After thinking about it, Gu An walked a few more rooms.
Still the same program.
There are a total of fifty rooms, which means a total of 250 beds, which means that more than 40 people can only rest against the wall or somewhere.
Is this considered the first round of screening... Gu An pondered.
Just then.
"Crack!"
A hurried young man pushed open the door of the room where Gu An was standing.
Gu An looked back.
When the young man discovered that it was Gu An, he had a panicked expression on his face and immediately closed the door respectfully, saying, "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong place."
This situation happened no less than ten times.
"Get out! You can only live five in one room!"
"I can sleep on the floor! At home, I sleep on the floor most of the time!"
"That won't work either. Since there are only five beds, it means we can only accommodate five."
Not long after, the noise of a quarrel between teenagers could be heard outside.
I guess everyone realized that there were only 250 beds in total, so they all started fighting for them.
Looking at the house where he was the only one, Gu An guessed that when other houses were full, people would still come here.
But there is a problem. There are also female disciples who come to take the assessment. Although there are not many, there are more than a dozen.
What should they do?
Mixed housing?
After thinking about it, Gu An felt that this was not within the scope of his consideration. He just needed to take care of himself and pass the assessment.
He walked to a bed, put his hands behind his head, lay down, and began to wait quietly.
Sure enough, whispers soon came from outside the door.
"Go, you go and ask."
"Why me, not..."
"Bang!"
Before the word "you" came out, the man outside the door was kicked into the house, causing the wooden door to hit the wall and make a violent sound.
The boy who was kicked in stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his lower body was relatively stable, so he stopped in a hurry.
"Crack!"
The door is closed.
The young man met Gu An's calm eyes, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Haha, Gu...Brother Gu, just...they pushed me just now, so I'm sorry to disturb you!"
Gu An said calmly: "There are four beds, so four can stay there."
The young man was stunned. He didn't expect Gu An to be so easy to talk to. He gave the answer directly before asking.
Immediately afterwards, I was overjoyed.
"Thank you!"
I turned around to open the door and tell people outside about the situation, but as soon as I turned around, I found that the door was already open!
"Bang!"
Fortunately, the young man reacted well and lay down on the bed next to him, occupying a seat.
Within two breaths, all four beds were occupied.
Perhaps it was because of Gu An's presence that after seeing that all four beds were occupied, the others quickly left the room; it did not happen like in other rooms where people kept challenging the ownership of the beds.
But unlike other rooms where several teenagers chatted together, there was silence in Gu An's room.
There were only coughs and faint breathing sounds from time to time.
