Five Immortals Gate

Li Yan was thinking about things as he moved forward with the team. "Marshal Hong looked at him in the stands with a concerned look. There may be more to this tent than just signing up. Could there be any other considerations? It's just that this tent doesn't look like it." It's not very big, but it's a bit small when it comes to showing off its punches and kicks. Does this military also consider literary talent?"

As he was walking and thinking with his head lowered, Li Yan suddenly felt his eyes light up. It turned out that the last person in front of him had entered the tent, and the area in front of him was much wider. But when he raised his head, the man had entered and lowered the door curtain, but he could not see clearly what was going on inside. Li Yan no longer thought about it, just stayed where he was and waited quietly.

Just after dozens of breaths, someone came out through the curtain. It was the person who had just entered. At this time, this person was rolling down the sleeve on the other wrist with one hand, but his face was full of confusion. , with a look of great confusion, and then, urged by the soldiers at the door, he walked to the end of the line in the middle of the school field. At this time, one of the soldiers pointed at Li Yan and said, "You, come in." After hearing this, Li Yan followed the instructions and walked towards the tent door.

Li Yan opened the door curtain and entered the tent. Li Yan felt that his eyes were dark. He closed his eyes for a while. After adjusting to the light, he opened his eyes again. At this time, he saw clearly that there was only a low table in the tent, and a person was sitting cross-legged behind the table. Sitting on a small carpet, this man is about forty years old. He wears a scholar's crown and a loose black robe. The hem of the black robe is spread on the ground, covering his lower body. Even if he is sitting, he is only one step shorter than Li Yan. She looks a little bit tall, but she is also very tall.

His face is thin and narrow, with a blue-grey complexion. A long beard is floating on his chest. His hands are in his sleeves and hugging his chest and abdomen, half covered by the low table. A ray of light occasionally shoots out from between the opening and closing of his pair of slender eyes. At this time, He was looking at Li Yan. Seeing Li Yan looking at him, he stretched out a slender white finger from his sleeve and pointed at the same small carpet in front of the table to "sit", and then said no more.

Li Yan walked to the table as he was told. Only then did he find an unfolded cloth bag placed on the table. Rows of small bags were sewn vertically on the surface of the cloth bag, with the mouth of the bag facing upwards, and each small bag had a quantity inserted into it. There are various thin needles, and the tails of the needles exposed at the mouth of the bag shine with silver light.

Li Yan looked at the rows of silver needles that glowed coldly on the table, and couldn't help but beat his heart. He thought, "There are no pens, inks, paper and inkstones here. How can they be registered? But what is this thing on the table? What is it?" What’s the use?” I suddenly felt confused and didn’t know what to do.

The man in black robe saw Li Yan coming to the table, staring at the silver needle, hesitating and not sitting down, and then said, "Don't worry, I'm just doing a meridians test on you. If the meridians are very good, there may be some good fortune waiting for you." ”

After Li Yan heard this, he thought for a moment and then sat cross-legged like the man in black robe behind the table. He came here because he had to pass this level no matter what, otherwise he would not be able to enter the next level of the school assessment. No matter how much he thought about it, it would be useless.

Seeing how happy Li Yan was now, the man in black robe smiled slightly and said, "Expose the meridians of your left wrist and put it on the table. I think it will be fine in a few breaths." Li Yan no longer thought about it and stretched out his right hand to pull the meridian on his left wrist. Roll up the coarse cloth sleeves at the wrists a few times, and then place the palms of your hands on the side of the cloth bag on the table.

After the man in black robe saw Li Yan put his left hand in accordance with the words, he stretched out his right hand and used two slender white fingers to pick up a silver needle from the unfolded cloth bag. Before Li Yan saw it clearly, I felt a numbness in my wrist. When I looked closely, I saw that most of the silver needle had already sunk into my meridians. After the man in black robe finished doing this, he put his hands back into his sleeves, folded his hands in his sleeves and lowered them to his abdomen, and then glanced at Li Yan's face.

After Li Yan felt his wrists go numb, he no longer had any other strange sensations. However, just when he was confused, after just two breaths, he suddenly felt a cold air rising from his abdomen to his head, and his head suddenly felt a cold sensation. It's cool, and I feel refreshed all over my body.

The man in black robe squinted his eyes carefully and saw that Li Yan's face was fine. He felt a little regretful in his heart. He had seen this situation countless times in the past few years, but every time after the injection, he still had that feeling in his heart. Just looking forward to it. In the past few years, only the time at the beginning of last year made him ecstatic, but unfortunately the final result made him very angry.

Just when he was about to take out the silver needle from Li Yan's pulse gate, he saw a layer of black energy slowly coming out of Li Yan's face. The man in black robe was stunned, and then he felt overjoyed, but his face remained calm. Immediately, his hands moved like the wind, flying like butterflies through flowers, and four silver needles sank into Li Yan's veins. This time, after just one breath, Li Yan suddenly felt four more waves of heat, dryness, heaviness, and warmth. Qi rises from the abdomen and goes straight to the top of the head.

Now he felt like he was being tortured in a boiling oil pot, and his brain felt like he was being hit hard. He not only groaned, but also had a look of pain on his face, and began to distort under the shroud of various auras.

After the four silver needles went down, the man in black robe stared at Li Yan's face without blinking, as if he was afraid of missing something. When a second green aura rose up on Li Yan's face, he became a little nervous. , and then a third burst of red energy surged up, and he clenched his fists even more, but as yellow and white energy rose up later, he loosened his clenched fists with some disappointment, and his face It became cloudy and uncertain, and he frowned and thought about something.

Li Yan's body was in agony at this time. Several streams of gas in his abdomen kept rushing around, causing him great pain. He had changed from sitting cross-legged just now to falling to the ground and bending sideways. His body had become like a shrimp. Fortunately, he didn't touch the five silver needles on his wrist at this time, otherwise I don't know what the outcome would have been.

If someone looks at his face clearly at this time, he can find that the five colors of Qi on his face are changing alternately, among which black Qi is the strongest, followed by green, red, yellow and white, and white is already the lighter Qi. When I get angry, the order of black, green, red, yellow and white flashes by alternately every time. The pain became more and more unstoppable, and Li Yan let out several more low moans.

These moans woke the man in black robes out of his thoughts. After looking at Li Yan, he hesitated again. Finally, as if he had made some kind of decision, he stood up without making any movement. He was already in a daze. When he came to the table, he stood in front of Li Yan. He was silent and ghostly. He waved his right sleeve, and five cold rays of light flashed from Li Yan's left hand. He only heard a few "duoduo" sounds. There was a soft sound, and several silver needles with their tails trembling in a neat row were nailed into the table. Although this table is not made of very good wood, the things used in the military focus on quality rather than appearance. This table It is also made of red date wood and is extremely strong. It would be impossible for anyone other than a first-class or top master in the martial arts world to achieve such a method.

The man in black robe looked at the silver needle on the table, and then at Li Yan's rapidly recovering expression. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Oh, I'm still not good enough. I don't dare to enter those places. I can only use this lowest and most primitive method." Testing by other means will bring a lot of pain to the person doing the test. Fortunately, there will be no harm to the body and mind in the end, it is just temporary pain. If there is a 'spiritual stone' or a 'spiritual pillar'" Thinking of this, he sighed again. These are currently out of his reach, but maybe after this time, he can. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. But after seeing Li Yan underground, he murmured to himself, "The one last time was actually a Xuanlinggen, with better qualifications than me, but the most unfortunate thing is that he is illiterate and can even understand the most basic magic rules." He seems to understand, but he has wasted the heaven-defying qualifications given to him by God, and ended up like this. "

Thinking of this in his mind, he sighed again, "Oh, although this person has mixed spiritual roots, he is still better than none. Time is running out. Although these two people appeared within two years of each other, it is just a coincidence. Approximately 100,000 people have been tested this year. The idea of ​​using this method to test existing soldiers and newly recruited soldiers in the army, only these two people have been tested for so many years, this is the biggest opportunity, and I estimate that I only have one or two years left. Even if I have bad luck and find the right person in the future, I still won’t have time.”

"If you use your miscellaneous spirit roots well, you can still give it a try." Thinking of this, he took a long breath and looked at Li Yan, who was slowly returning to normal on the ground.

Li Yan felt as if he had been tortured and beaten, but these beatings hit deep in his soul. The pain was so painful that he could not control himself, but he could not shout loudly. He could only let out low and heavy moans, as if he had experienced After a long and unbearable time, Li Yan finally felt numbness in the meridians of his hand, and the pain disappeared without a trace like a sea wave, as if it had never happened, and it was just like an illusion.

Li Yan stood up from the ground with his hands on the edge of the table. He looked at the row of shining silver needles on the table, and looked at the man in black robe in front of him with some fear, as if he was standing here like a ghost from the underworld. , he didn't believe that it was just an illusion, it was a real pain that penetrated the internal organs and bone marrow. Otherwise, how could there be any explanation for the row of silver needles on the table. Seeing Li Yan's fearful expression, the man in black robe smiled gently at him and said, "Don't be afraid. My surname is Ji, and my name is Ji Wenhe. Others call me Military Master Ji or Master Ji."

When Li Yan heard this, he was shocked, "Is he the same as Marshal Hong, who is in charge of the Qingshan Pass? He is also famous. What did such a big man do just now?"

Seeing that Li Yan was silent, Master Ji smiled and continued, "Although it caused you a lot of pain just now, it was worth it. So many people have not been able to have such a good life in the past few years. I am a person who walks in the world. , because I suffered an incurable injury a few years ago, I came to the army to find something to do and find someone to be destined for. I have no children and have always wanted to find someone to carry on my legacy and put all my knowledge into it. I will teach you, otherwise, if my sect's inheritance is cut off due to my death in the future, it will be difficult for you to face the ancestor of our sect even if you come to Jiuquan. The method that was given to you previously is my sect's method of selecting disciples, because my sect's martial arts require physical fitness. You must be strong, have broad meridians, and have a full internal organs to get started. Otherwise, even if you learn it, it will be useless, and you may even die from the backflow of your breath. Then, are you willing to join my sect and pass on what I have learned?" , Master Ji's voice was serious, and he stared at Li Yan without blinking.

Li Yan thought to himself, "This method of getting started is so vicious that it makes people miserable. It's hard to learn those exercises, and how can I trust what he said?" Thinking of this, he was thinking about how to refuse, but he suddenly thought of entering the city today. The team leader named Liu Chengyong whom I met at the city gate seemed to have said something.

"Those thieves of the Meng Kingdom were unable to attack with three large armies, but the third army commander took the head of the other side's deputy commander." This is what he said. In this way, this military adviser is an enemy of ten thousand people. According to what he just said, It was only after he was injured that he joined the army. If he had not been injured before, he would have been an unparalleled hero.

Look at the row of silver needles on the table again. After the pain disappeared just now, his whole body was soft and weak. When he stood up, he used his hands to support the table. Although he was not very tall, if he was made of ordinary wood, he would weigh more than half of his body. There will be some noise when you press it up. The small table just now didn't even make a breath sound, which shows how strong it is.

He looked at the row of silver needles again, and was even more horrified. The villagers also had silver needles, and he had seen them before. He could easily bend them with just a flick of his finger. These needles were also How can it be inserted into this solid wooden table? He is not a stupid person.

Teenagers always worship heroes. Every teenager has a heroic dream, imagining that he can save the common people and save the people he loves in danger. Li Yan is no exception. Although his mind is more detailed, it is only relatively compared to people of his age. Generally speaking, he still has a young mind. In just a few thoughts, he has already changed all kinds of thoughts.

Thinking of this, Li Yan felt an impulse in his heart. He had already forgotten the pain of life and death just now. He only felt that by following the man in front of him, he could learn the power of his dream. He raised his head and looked at Master Ji. He said sternly, "I have pity on you, but I dare not disobey you."

There was no surprise on the face of Master Ji when he heard this. He had expected this. If he didn't agree, it would have surprised him. The third division commander asked him, "What's your name?"

"Young man Li Yan belongs to the Daqingshan clan." Li Yan replied.

"Then are you literate?" Ji Junshi asked again.

"The boy has been studying in a private school for several years. Although he is not talented enough to pass the examination, he is still familiar with the classics." Li Yan replied that this was not Li Yan's bragging. When he was studying in a private school in the village, the old scholar was the most fond of him among all the people. He hoped that he could take the exam to obtain fame. However, according to Li Yan's family background, if he continued to study, Thinking about it, I couldn't support it anymore. This matter was a great pity for the old scholar. Even so, Li Yan had read through the nearly one hundred books collected by the old scholar, and diligently studied what he didn't understand.

"Then have you ever learned any martial arts or internal skills?" Master Ji's hopes rose a bit when he heard that he was also familiar with scriptures.

"The boy has only learned a few basic fighting techniques in the village. He has never learned any advanced martial arts, let alone any internal skills or mental techniques." Li Yan continued to answer.

When Master Ji heard this, he smiled softly, "That's good. Your body's meridians are very consistent with the requirements of our sect's mental method. I will send the sect to inform you after I return. As for your family background and identity, I will send someone to tell you." I hope you won't hide anything. You are also the last person to apply today. In this case, just let me go. "Say, with a flick of your sleeve, the silver needles and cloth bags on the table have disappeared.

When Li Yan saw it, he was even more surprised. Then he bowed and replied, "Yes, sir." Then he showed some hesitation on his face and did not follow immediately.
