It was late at night.
The Gui Yuan Sect of Jiangning County was silent. Almost everyone had fallen asleep. In the Gui Yuan Sect, in the study room of the Sovereign, Zhuge Yuan-hong, the candles were still lit.
Zhuge Yuan-hong's long hair hung loosely over his shoulders. He wore a loose white robe and was barefooted. He held a paintbrush in his hand and wantonly sprinkled ink on the paper on the desk. There was even a smile on his face. It was obvious that he was completely immersed in the artistic conception of the painting.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" … …
There was a knock on the door.
Zhuge Yuan-hong's hand paused and looked at the painting with satisfaction. He then put the paintbrush aside and said with a smile, "Come in."
The door opened.
The grey-cloaked middle-aged man who was in charge of receiving over three hundred warriors walked in with a smile. He glanced at the painting on the desk and said, "Sovereign, your painting is getting more and more lifelike. Sovereign, you have a successor for your supreme art, but you don't have a good successor for your painting skills. "
"I'm just randomly doodling. I'm in a leisurely mood." Zhuge Yuan-hong didn't care. He looked at the grey-cloaked middle-aged man and asked, "Martial Brother, I asked you to investigate Teng Qingshan's background. How is it going?"
"I have." The grey-cloaked middle-aged man replied.
The Gui Yuan Sect was a great sect that controlled the entire Jiangning County. There were intelligence agents at the borders of the Jiangning County and in every city. If the Gui Yuan Sect wanted to investigate Teng Qingshan's whereabouts, they would be able to find out everything within a few hours.
"Tell me quickly." Zhuge Yuan-hong said.
"Sovereign." The grey-cloaked middle-aged man's face was full of smiles. "This Teng Qingshan is definitely a talented person! He was born in a mountain village called Teng Jia Village at the foot of the Great Yan Mountain in Yi City. It is said that when he was six years old, he could lift a hundred Jin stone. "
Zhuge Yuan-hong raised his eyebrows.
"Around the age of ten, his spear technique is already superb enough to kill the Wolf King!"
"When I was 14, I fought with the second of the three Wang brothers, Wang Tiefeng, and we were on par."
"At the age of sixteen, which is this year, he even killed the Yan Shan Gang's First Leader, Li Yanshan, by himself and was rumored to be the number one expert in Yi City. As for Teng Jia Village, it is famous for its bravery and martial prowess, "the middle-aged man said in one breath.
Zhuge Yuan-hong smiled and nodded. "Yes, his background is clear."
"Sect Master, don't worry. This Teng Qingshan's background is very clean. Our people have long collected some information about Teng Qingshan. Teng Qingshan's father was called Teng Qingshan. His mother's name was Yuan Lan. There's nothing suspicious about it! "The middle-aged man in the grey robe was very sure.
"Just as I guessed!"
Zhuge Yuan-hong walked to the window barefooted with disheveled hair. "I have never seen Teng Qingshan's spear technique before! It should be self-created. The possibility of it being taught by an expert is very small! The most important thing is that his use of inner strength is too rough. His secret inner strength technique must be the worst kind. "
All kinds of secret inner strength techniques, mental cultivation methods, and sword art secret manuals are suspected to allow inner strength to display great power.
For example, Yue Song's 《Cangjiang Sword Art》 'Wave Stacking Style' had an instantaneous attack power that was ten times that of an ordinary expert at the peak of the postliminary realm. Even Teng Qingshan, under the premise of concealing his astonishing power, had to rely on the 'Transmutation Unity Law' spear art to defend.
The reason why the Wave Stacking Style was so powerful.
Sword art, mental cultivation methods, and so on were indispensable.
Teng Qingshan's secret inner strength technique … … was not the worst. Rather … … Teng Qingshan did not have any secret inner strength technique! The reason why he had inner strength was because he practiced Internal Martial Arts. Inner strength was only a side effect of practicing Internal Martial Arts.
"At the age of sixteen, without any guidance, he is actually stronger than Brother Wei's proud disciple 'Yue Song'! And this is under the condition that his inner strength is weak. This is a real genius, an unpolished jade! "Zhuge Yuan-hong's eyes lit up.
As the Sovereign of a sect, to be able to obtain such a talented unpolished jade was a kind of luck.
"Sovereign, when are you going to accept this Teng Qingshan as your disciple?" The middle-aged man in grey couldn't help but ask.
Among the four commanders, Zang Feng was Zhuge Yuan-hong's disciple! The female commander, Commander Guan, was also Zhuge Yuan-hong's disciple! Zhuge Yuan-hong was not only extremely strong, but he was also very good at teaching disciples. None of the disciples that he carefully taught were weak.
"No, I don't plan to accept him as my disciple for the time being." Zhuge Yuan-hong shook his head.
"This, Sovereign … … why are you doing this?" The middle-aged man in grey was shocked.
This was because the relationship between a master and a disciple was very tight.
The status of a master was almost the same as the status of a parent.
Accepting Teng Qingshan as a disciple and having a master-disciple relationship with Teng Qingshan would also make it easier for Teng Qingshan to serve the Gui Yuan Sect.
"This Teng Qingshan's talent is almost the same as Yun Er's. The most important thing is not his talent, but his temperament! " Zhuge Yuan-hong said, "Yun Er can't stand loneliness. Although his talent is extremely high, a real expert must be able to stand loneliness! However, his temperament can't be forcibly suppressed. Otherwise, it will only backfire. For Yun Er, I can only wait patiently. "
Zhuge Yuan-hong had high expectations for his son.
"But this Teng Qingshan is different. I see a kind of calmness in him that doesn't match his age! He is as calm as a mountain. Facing the praises of the six thousand Black Armoured Corps, he doesn't have any terrifying calmness! This kind of temperament, coupled with his talent and pure heart … … he doesn't need me to teach him. "
"The path that he creates is the most suitable for him. I only need to guide him a little, and he will create everything by himself. "Zhuge Yuan-hong said with a faint smile.
The middle-aged man in grey nodded thoughtfully.
"This is a piece of unpolished jade! Our Gui Yuan Sect has a rare genius in the past thousand years. In the future, he may become the pillar of our Gui Yuan Sect. Such a piece of unpolished jade must be carved and polished properly. "Zhuge Yuan-hong sighed.
The middle-aged man in grey was shocked, "Sovereign, this Teng Qingshan, you said that he will become the pillar of our Gui Yuan Sect in the future? You mean, he, he can reach the Innate Realm? "
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, these powerful ancient sects had thousands of years of history.
The true pillar of the sect was an Innate Master!
Zhuge Yuan-hong looked at the night sky through the window, "Only when the spirit and Qi are in harmony can he step into the Innate Realm. It can only be found by chance … … I don't dare to say that he will definitely step into the Innate Realm. However, among the young talents of our Gui Yuan Sect, if there is anyone who has the most hope, it should be this Teng Qingshan! "
"Alright, Senior Martial Brother, you have been busy for a long time. Go back and rest." Zhuge Yuan-hong said lightly.
The middle-aged man in grey left the study room.
In the study room, the candlelight was dim.
Zhuge Yuan-hong, whose hair was disheveled, clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the night sky and murmured, "This Teng Qingshan has a clean background, but why do I feel that he is very mysterious? What is the problem? "There were very few people that he couldn't see through.
Then, Zhuge Yuan-hong walked to the futon behind the desk and sat down with his legs crossed.
With a flick of his sleeve, the candle was extinguished.
"Creak!" The door of the study room closed automatically.
In the darkness, Zhuge Yuan-hong closed his eyes and sat down with his legs crossed.
*****
The sky was just beginning to brighten. The entire Black Armoured Corps camp was bustling with noise and excitement. There were over six thousand people in the Black Armoured Corps, and all of them were provided with food. Usually, single soldiers would eat whatever they wanted in the cooks' barracks. As for the Black Armoured Corps soldiers with families, they would go to the cooks' barracks to get food for their wives and children.
That's right!
The Black Armoured Corps soldiers were allowed to bring their wives and children to the barracks.
After all, once one became a soldier of the Black Armoured Corps, it would be a lifetime thing. The Gui Yuan Sect would not be too heartless. Therefore, the soldiers were allowed to bring their wives and children.
The entire cooks' barracks had four large houses that occupied a large area. Each of the houses was a hundred feet wide and a hundred feet long. The Black Armoured Corps had a total of four battalions, and these four houses were enough to accommodate six thousand people of the Black Armoured Corps.
"Haha, Brother Qingshan!"
"Brother Teng, you're here."
"Sir, we've already eaten. Why are you here?"
As soon as Teng Qingshan entered, many people greeted him warmly. Some were centurions, and some were ordinary soldiers. During the celebration banquet last night, many people had already regarded Teng Qingshan as a good brother.
"What are we having for breakfast?" Teng Qingshan smiled as he walked over.
The food of the Black Armoured Corps was very good.
Steamed buns, eggs, egg pancakes, meat buns, dumplings, and so on … There were buckets and buckets of food. After all, even the Black Armoured Corps soldiers could eat, so of course, there was a lot of food for so many people.
"The food here is better than in our village." Teng Qinghu ate an egg with one bite and a big meat bun with two bites. He ate happily.
"Eat more. You'll have the strength to do morning exercises later." Teng Qingshan smiled.
"Qingshan," Teng Qinghu suddenly frowned and said, "Although I'm a corporal, I'm not in your 100-soldier squad. I'm in the spearman squad, and you're the centurion of the spearman squad. Ask around and see if you can get me to join your 100-soldier squad! "
Hearing this, Teng Qingshan also felt that this was a problem.
When he was assigned to the Third Commandant of the First Army, his cousin, Teng Qinghu, was also under the Third Commandant, but not in his 100-soldier squad.
After all …
There were only a few corporal positions to compete for. If there was an empty position, they would win it.
In Teng Qingshan's 100-soldier squad, there was no vacant corporal position. Of course, Teng Qinghu was not assigned to it.
"It's just a small matter. I'll ask around later and get you to join me. It should be fine," Teng Qingshan said.
"Hehe, it's better to follow you, Qingshan." Teng Qinghu laughed.
Very quickly, the two of them finished their breakfast and headed towards the Drill Ground with a large number of Black Armored Army sergeants.
*****
On the drill ground, training began with each 100-soldier squad as a square.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
The one hundred soldiers under Teng Qingshan's command were all wearing heavy armor and practicing their spear arts. When a large number of soldiers were fighting, there was no need for superb and complicated spear skills. A simple stab would suffice. What was needed was strength and speed!
Teng Qingshan watched and supervised carefully.
Suddenly, Teng Qingshan glanced at another 100-soldier squad not far away. Teng Qinghu was in that squad.
"Brother Tian Dan." Teng Qingshan smiled and walked to the centurion of the 100-soldier squad, Tian Dan.
They were under the same Commandant. Of course, the centurions got to know each other after drinking last night.
"Brother Qingshan." Tian Dan walked over with a smile, holding a long spear. Teng Qingshan said directly, "Brother Tian Dan, I have a favor to ask."
"Just say it. I'll definitely help if I can." Tian Dan was very forthright.
