"Thank you, Elder."
Fang Yun thanked her and walked to the side of the bronze mirror. He found that the lines of his face were thicker and his skin was slightly darker than usual. He had only changed some details, but it was as if he had become a different person. Perhaps only Yang Yuhuan would be able to recognize him at a glance.
When the old man was writing, Fang Yun felt a light breeze on his face. He did not expect the change to be so great.
Fang Yun guessed that the old man was at least at the third level of painting. He might even be at the fourth level.
"Little Ink likes you very much." The old man looked at the ink lady in the ink.
The ink lady seemed to be a little shy. She dove down slightly, and her nose entered the ink, leaving only her eyes exposed. Then, she blew gently with her mouth, and the ink bubbled in front of her, making Fang Yun smile slightly.
The old man sighed and said, "If you have an Inkstone Turtle, take Little Ink with you. It's a pity that Little Ink follows me. "
The ink lady turned to look at the old man and blinked her eyes. She did not seem to understand the old man's words.
"Thank you, Elder." Fang Yun did not know what to say. The Inkstone Turtle was at the same level as the ink lady. It was extremely difficult to obtain. Among the four great items, only the Holy Page could be mass-produced. The Elder Pen, the ink lady, and the Inkstone Turtle were all rare treasures of heaven and earth. There were not many of them.
These items only existed in the hands of the Saints or the Saint Families. Some of the Saint Families had no choice but to give them away. These items needed to be "nurtured". Otherwise, they would slowly degenerate and eventually disappear. A few Half-saint families could not even afford to nurture these items.
At this moment, Fang Yun only had the Saint Page and did not have any of the other three mystical items. It was simply impossible for him to have an Inkstone Turtle now. Raising two mystical items at the same time was even more difficult. Not to mention him, even a great scholar might go bankrupt because of the mystical items.
The old man took out a document. However, he did not use the ink of the ink lady. Instead, he used ordinary ink to draw Fang Yun's portrait.
"This is your enlistment document. Take it." The old man threw it casually. The document flew to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun took a look at it. The upper half of the document was his portrait and the lower half was his information. Nothing else had changed except for his identity as a scholar. Fang Yun nodded. It was alright to call a scholar Fang Yun, but if a scholar was also called Fang Yun, it would attract a lot of attention. Besides, it was too eye-catching for a scholar to be an ordinary soldier...
............. Fang......... ...................... and then she held.............................
Fang Yun subconsciously took a step back to avoid it, but the ink turned into a small black rock in midair. Fang Yun reached out and caught it. When he looked at it carefully, he didn't dirty his hand. It was just a small black rock.
"This is the Ink Lady's ink stick. You can use it directly with Talent Qi. ....................... Hmph. "The old man seemed a little reluctant to part with such a good item.
Fang Yun put away the ink stick and smiled at Mo Nuo. "Thank you, Mo Nuo."
Mo Nuo shook her head repeatedly, indicating that he didn't have to thank her. She then dove into the water shyly, leaving only her head exposed.
After leaving the house, Fang Yun felt that it was extremely bright outside. He turned around to take a look. He saw the blurry words' Elegant Mountain Residence 'on the black plaque.
Fang Yun looked at the Elegant Mountain Residence again. In the dark hut, an old man was sitting on a bamboo chair and sipping tea slowly. A little Mo Nuo popped her head out and blew ink bubbles.
Fang Yun was in a good mood.
Fang Yun arrived at the Ding Army's encampment in a relaxed manner.
The military structure of the Ten Nations was divided into squads, squads, teams, battalions, guards, and armies. A squad consisted of five people, a squad consisted of fifteen people, a team consisted of fifty people, a battalion consisted of five hundred people, a guard consisted of three thousand people, and an army consisted of at least ten thousand people.
Fang Yun held the enlistment document and soon entered the Ding Army's recruitment camp. He then saw the official in charge of registering the soldiers. The official had no rank and was at the bottom of the military. However, he still had some power.
The official took a look at the enlistment document before looking at Fang Yun. "Fang Yun? You're also from the Dayuan Residence? Tell me about your situation in detail. "
Fang Yun immediately gave a brief account of his situation.
"When did you become a scholar?" the official asked.
"I became a scholar last year. As I felt that my talent was limited, I decided to come to the army to gain some experience," Fang Yundao said.
The official asked, "Oh? Do you want to be an official or a soldier? "
"Lord Jian Mei also started as a soldier. He's my role model," Fang Yundao said.
The civil official showed a kind smile and kindly advised, "Grand Secretary Li is naturally extraordinary. You must know that there aren't many scholars in the Jingguo army, but there are many scholars in the various armies who have faced the demons and barbarians head-on. For example, there are ten thousand people in the Ding Army and three thousand scholars. These scholars are much older than you and have no hope of passing the county-level examinations. Thus, they use this method to contribute to the human race. You're so young. Do you really want to be a soldier? "
"Yes," Fang Yundao said.
"Fine. Let me think about it. The third team of the Second Guard First Battalion is lacking people. You can go there. "
Fang Yun walked out of the door and looked at the afternoon sky. He smelled the fishy wind from the Eastern Sea and lowered his head to look at the temporary wooden soldier card in his hand.
"From now on, I will be a member of the third team of the Second Guard First Battalion of the Ding Army. According to convention, I can say that I am a soldier of the Ding Army's 23rd team. After a few days, I will be able to change this wooden soldier card into a real iron soldier card. The scholars of Jingguo truly live up to their title as scholars. There are actually three thousand scholars in the ten thousand Ding Army. This ratio is too frightening. These people are all silently protecting the human race. They are all respectable people. "
Fang Yun held the soldier card in his hand and slowly walked forward.
The buildings here were simple and neat. They were rows of identical single-story houses separated by some trees.
There were soldiers patrolling everywhere. Fang Yun roughly scanned the area and saw more than ten small groups of soldiers patrolling. Even though it was a hot day in June, they were still wearing armor and holding spears, sweating profusely on duty.
Through the gaps between the houses, he could see a few large military fields. Many soldiers were drilling on the fields.
Fang Yun knew that the average quality of soldiers in ancient Earth was poor. Only a few elite soldiers had strong bodies. However, the Saint Origin World had rich Heaven Earth Essence Qi and a large number of scholars. It was very convenient to get rid of droughts, floods, disaster relief, grain harvest and so on. Agriculture and animal husbandry were also relatively developed. Hence, the soldiers here were well fed and very strong.
Fang Yun scanned a few times and found that it was the same as the books. The military training of the ten nations was divided into four parts. The first was to train the body, the second was to train the weapons and the third was to train the formation. The fourth was to cooperate with the battle poems of the High Scholar or Grand Scholar.
The most complicated part was to cooperate with the High Scholar and Grand Scholar. The second part was to continuously train the formation. In Fang Yun's opinion, the formation training was the same as the formation training in the future. It strengthened the soldiers' obedience, cooperation and discipline. It was a very good way to train the soldiers.
The weapons were also very complicated. There were swords and shields, spears, throwing spears, crossbows, mounted archers, catapults and so on. The simplest part was to train the body. It was nothing more than lifting stone weights and rapid marching.
Fang Yun had long known that the military in the Saint Origin World was very powerful. Although there were flaws in the training methods, the general direction was right and they were constantly improving.
Not long after, Fang Yun arrived at the camp of the third troop. It was a row of single-story houses with four rooms, three big and one small. More than ten soldiers were sitting or standing in front of the door chatting. There were also a few veterans smoking tobacco pipes.
These people were chatting and laughing. When they saw Fang Yun walking over, they turned their heads.
Fang Yun stood up straight and raised the soldier card in his hand. He said, "Recruit Fang Yun is here to report for duty. I would like to see Captain Shi!"
Everyone roared with laughter.
"Where did this little soldier come from? He didn't go to the battlefield. Why is he so disciplined? Relax a little. "
"Look at his soft and tender body. I'm afraid he's going to suffer."
"Hehe, come and join us. Let me train you properly."
"Is it luck? Or is it rhythm or something else? What does it have to do with the number one scholar, Fang Yun? "
Fang Yun's expression did not change. He knew that these people were not bullying him. It was just the veterans teasing the recruits. However, he had even seen the grand formation of the Chosen Saints, so he naturally could not lose his composure in front of a few veterans. He fearlessly scanned the crowd and said, "Tong Sheng Fang Yun requests to see Captain Shi."
Everyone's expression was no longer as undisciplined as before. Although a student was the lowest rank and was not considered much in the Ding Army, he was still a student. For such a young student to be willing to join the army, even if it was because he was immature and hot-blooded, it was still worthy of praise.
"Not bad. You didn't embarrass us students!" The veteran who said Fang Yun was soft and tender smiled and praised him.
Another veteran with a big beard said, "Good seedling. All the more we should train him well!" After saying that, he carefully sized up Fang Yun from head to toe. Although he also had the intention to tease him, it was different from before.
A student veteran laughed and said, "When I came to Team Three, I lasted for three days before collapsing. How long do you think this recruit can last?"
"He's so young. He's much younger than us when we joined the army. He'll collapse in two days at most."
"One and a half days!"
Fang Yun smiled. It was nothing more than the veterans putting on a show of strength. They needed to undergo a period of high-intensity training to prevent the recruits from being careless and being killed by the demons. He thought to himself that he would not write poems or articles during this period of time. Exercising a little was not considered high-profile.
The bearded veteran waved his hand at Fang Yun and said, "Let's go. We'll find Captain Shi and assign you to our squad! I'm a squad leader, Hong Cheng. "
"Thank you, Squad Leader Hong!" Fang Yundao said.
Hong Cheng laughed and said, "When the time comes, you won't be thanking me. You'll be scolding me."
After that, Fang Yun met with Captain Shi. Captain Shi was a serious person. After checking Fang Yun's temporary soldier tag, he gave Fang Yun some instructions. In the end, he sent Fang Yun out of his barracks with a trace of sympathy.
When Fang Yun walked out of the barracks, he saw thirteen neatly dressed veterans standing in a row outside the door. They were sizing up Fang Yun together. Nearby, there were dozens of veterans laughing and chatting.
Hong Cheng patted Fang Yun's shoulder and said with a smile, "These thirteen are our brothers, but …"
Hong Cheng's face suddenly changed and he shouted, "Military orders are absolute! Return to the team immediately and run around the east side of the city! The first three people to fall behind are not allowed to eat! "
Fang Yun did not hesitate and quickly ran to the end of the team. He lowered his head and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I just finished eating the Demonic Turtle Egg. It's a good time to test if that thing is useful."
"Run!" Hong Cheng stood in front of the team and took the lead.
One of the onlookers jeered and asked, "Newbie, how long can you last? If you can last for half an hour, I'll wash your clothes for a year! "
Fang Yun turned his head and looked at the veteran. He smiled and said, "Then remember to come and get my clothes tomorrow morning."
Everyone roared with laughter. They did not expect this newbie to be so daring.
The veteran was not angry. He smiled and said, "If you can't last for half an hour, you'll wash my clothes!"
"That won't happen," Fang Yundao said.
The veterans laughed even more happily.
