On several weapon racks, forged long knives came into Gu An's sight.
"This is the evil-killing sword that has been forged, but it is not effective yet. We can wait until the runes are engraved on the formation pattern later."
Hearing Yue Feng's words, Gu An couldn't help but frown.
Evil-killing knife?
Chen Muzhi and others also looked at each other in confusion.
When Zhang Xue saw their appearance, he said softly: "You should all know that ordinary weapons can be used to deal with monsters, but they cannot deal with most weird ones.
So we engraved corresponding runes on it, which can cause substantial damage to most weirdos."
Gu An suddenly realized that when he first encountered the evil spirit incarnated by Li Xin, the long knife he carried had no effect on him.
Continue to follow Yue Feng.
Gu An saw the source of the scorching wave of air when he entered the house just now.
A row of bare-chested handyman disciples kept beating the iron block in front of them with sledgehammers.
The blast furnace beside them continued to emit fiery red smoke.
"This is the forge room, where you will work later.
The so-called "hundred times of smelting into steel" means that iron ore is smelted and calcined and hammered hundreds of times before it can be used."
Gu An discovered that when Yue Feng introduced him here, only a few servant disciples raised their heads and glanced at them out of curiosity.
Most of the handyman disciples kept their heads down and worked hard.
Because this is their main source of points.
After quickly visiting the weapons department, Yue Feng, Gu An and others briefly explained the arrangements for the next few days, and then asked Zhang Xue to leave the weapons department with Gu An and others.
"As Manager Yue said, we prepare the iron ore in advance every day, and then use the cart in the yard to push it to the weapons before Chen time."
Zhang Xue was walking on the way to arrange accommodation for Gu An and others, talking as he walked.
Gu An and others nodded slightly.
After a while, Zhang Xue returned to the courtyard with Gu An and the others.
Five people share a room, and Gu An and the five of them are from the same batch, so they are naturally arranged together.
After Zhang Xue took them to get the mattresses, he went out first and began to prepare the iron ore he would need tomorrow.
Gu An sat beside the bed and called up his own panel in his mind.
Name: Gu An.
Realm: Eleventh level of body tempering realm (0/60).
Kung Fu: Long Fist [Dacheng (0/10)].
Energy value: 11.
Eleven points of energy can actually increase the level of Chang Fist.
However, I’d better keep it for now and see if I can find the exercises I want at the exercise place in the afternoon.
In the room, other people had nothing to do and gathered together to chat.
"Brother, when I was at the weapon department just now, I found that there were not many people forging fine iron. Does this mean that there are very few handyman disciples like us, and it is easier for us to obtain points?"
When the other three people in the room heard Chen Muzhi asking Gu An, they also stopped and wanted to hear Gu An's side of the story.
"First, if you can pass the assessment and enter the Evil Suppression Department, your talent and strength are not bad. If you break through to the Dan Condensing Realm, you can avoid the chores.
Second, those who have not broken through to Condensing Core in five years are directly transferred to the army. Naturally, there are not many handyman disciples.
Points are easy to obtain, but they come from a single source and are probably not as good as tasks.”
Seeing Chen Muzhi and others looking thoughtful, Gu An continued.
"You have only seen the small number of handyman disciples. Have you ever thought about how many candidates are there?"
Chen Muzhi and others froze for a moment, and then their expressions became solemn, obviously understanding what Gu An meant.
Each small flag team has only ten selected members.
However, after reaching the Ningdan realm, you can stay in the Evil Suppression Department until you are thirty years old. If you are unable to be promoted to a position such as a small flag at the age of thirty, you will go to the army or local posts.
It can be seen from this that within the Evil Suppression Department, the most number of candidates are reserve members...
Soon in the afternoon, An Yuan came to inform Gu An to go to the exercise office.
When Gu An arrived at the exercise place, Yan Hong was already waiting at the door.
Yan Hong invested another small flag officer, Cao Xin, under his command.
At this time, Yang Ling, Dongfang Runhong and Cao Xinjun were waiting at the door.
After Gu An stepped forward and saluted.
Yang Ling nodded slightly: "For Gu An to be the first in this assessment, he can choose two exercises, one for Yan Hong. After choosing, come out and register with Mr. Zhao.
Time limit, one hour."
Yang Ling pointed to the white-haired old man with a peaceful face sitting at the table at the door of the Kung Fu Department.
Gu An and Yan Hong looked at each other and said in unison: "I understand."
With a creak, the wooden door of the exercise room was pushed open.
What caught Gu An's eyes was a row of red sandalwood frames.
The above is exactly a book of exercises that Zhenxie Division has obtained from various places.
What is more user-friendly is that each wooden frame also indicates boxing skills, sword skills or defensive skills.
Gu An came directly to the wooden frame of defensive skills, his eyes fell on the name in the middle and began to scan.
"The Underworld Turtle Technique, the Golden Armor Technique...the Golden Bell Cover and the Iron Cloth Shirt..."
Seeing this familiar name, Gu An stopped in his tracks.
Reach out and take it off.
The blue and white book feels strangely heavy in my hands.
Open gently.
"The Golden Bell Cover and the Iron Cloth Shirt were originally two defensive techniques owned by Yunzhou Landuo Temple, the Golden Bell Cover and the Iron Cloth Shirt.
In the summer of the second year of Kaiyuan, His Majesty led a large army to destroy Landa Temple, moved its treasure house and made it state-owned.
After the study of Master Nagarjuna, they were combined into one..."
After a while, Gu An finished reading the basic introduction.
Three layers in total.
When you practice the Iron Cloth Shirt of the Golden Bell Cover to the first level, you can withstand ordinary punches and kicks. When you practice it to the second level, you are invulnerable. At the third level, you can further train your internal organs.
That's not bad... In Gu An's memory, the Golden Bell Cover Iron Clothes Shirt seems to have a high rate of appearance as a good horizontal exercise method.
It suits me very well now.
Holding it in his hand, Gu An walked towards the wooden frame of Shenfa.
One for defense and one for self-defense, this is what Gu An had planned from the beginning.
"Phantom Confused Tracking Steps, Stepping on the Snow without Traces, Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens Steps..."
Looking at the movement techniques with fancy names above, Gu An couldn't help but be a little surprised.
I reached out and flipped through a few books at random. It was pretty much the same as I imagined. They were all about mediocre and useless movements.
Yan Hong had already chosen the exercises he needed.
Seeing Gu An searching in the Shenfa area, Yan Hong stepped forward with the intention of making friends.
"Brother Gu, do you want to choose a good technique?"
Gu An turned around and glanced at Yan Hong. Yesterday he also learned that Yan Hong was the eldest son of the Yan family in Ping'an County.
Although the salt and iron industry in Daqian was run by the government, at the local level, families familiar with the local area were selected to control it, and the imperial court controlled the overall situation from behind.
The Yan family manages the salt production business in Ping'an County.
There are so many body techniques, and it will take a lot of time to look through them one by one to find the one that suits you, but you can ask him.
"That's right. Brother Yan, do you have any advice?"
"Haha, I can't talk about giving advice. There are a lot of techniques in the Suppressing Evil Division. If it's like what Brother Gu did just now, one hour may not be enough."
Yan Hong pointed to the books on the wooden shelf.
"When I was at home, I read about the origins and characteristics of some exercises from the Zhenxie Division's Exercise Department. You might as well tell Brother Gu what kind of exercise you want, and I will recommend it to Brother Gu."
But then Gu An's words made Yan Hong's expression froze.
