"What are you thinking about? You won't be frightened, right?"
His shoulder was so painful from being patted that Jiang Yan turned around and saw Lu Yi standing close to him, looking at him calmly.
"There are some..." Jiang Yan lowered his head and lowered his voice. During this period, he was used to seeing life and death, but this was the first time he indirectly felt the existence of "evil".
I really don't feel at peace inside.
"It's lucky for everyone. Yesterday, a piece of fine iron came out of the mine. Deputy gang leader Chen was about to take it to make weapons. He happened to encounter this ferocious beast sneaking in and killed it." Lu Yi explained briefly.
As if this is just a small thing.
Instead of talking about this matter in detail, he talked about another thing, "If you are still afraid of this, why not worry about the qualification test tomorrow. If you don't have the qualifications, your life will be over."
After speaking, Lu Yi shook his head, turned around, shouted loudly, and directed everyone to work.
After a full day of work, Jiang Yan dragged his tired body back with Ren Tao. On the way, there were many corpse-carrying teams who also belonged to the same team. Everyone had tiredness on their faces, but there was unconcealable worry in their eyes.
In the mining area, mining is extremely tiring. Year after year, day after day mining, fatigue, illness, and various accidents occur.
Jiang Yan's corpse-carrying team deals with corpses every day, and accidentally gets infected with all kinds of strange diseases. There is no cure, and it is not a very good job.
This kind of life is depressing and dull, giving people no hope, but newcomers to the mining areas still have a chance to escape from this miserable life.
In order to replenish their strength, the Dahe Gang gathers new arrivals in the mining area every six months to test whether they have martial arts qualifications. If so, they can join the Dahe Gang and get the opportunity to learn martial arts and practice martial arts.
For miners who work hard and work hard all day long, this opportunity can be said to be a step from hell to heaven.
All the people who have just come to the mining area to make a living, in addition to working hard to earn more money and settle down here, also hope that they can have martial arts qualifications, join the Dahe Gang, practice martial arts, and become a master.
Therefore, Ren Tao, who was usually a bit talkative, had a grimace and was silent at the moment. When he returned to the rest area, no one was interested in talking, so they had a hasty meal and went to rest.
…
Early on the next morning, Lu Weizhi shouted loudly, asking the newcomers who had only arrived in the past six months to gather together, and led everyone along the corridor in one direction.
After walking for a while, suddenly there was a sound of drums coming from a distance. After hearing it, Lu Yi urged everyone to speed up.
By the time Jiang Yan and his team arrived at a huge cave, many people had gathered here. No one dared to make a loud noise, only the rustling of lowered heads and whispers filled the air with a solemn atmosphere.
After a while, a group of Dahe Gang disciples wearing black robes walked in with two middle-aged men in their arms.
All the team leaders, such as Lu Yi, etc., bowed one after another, and the cave suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Yan also bent down slightly, but he raised his head slightly and saw the two people walking straight towards a stone platform. On the stone platform, there was a blue jade stone that was half a person's height.
One of the two, a dark-faced middle-aged man, took out a delicate box from his arms, and took out a piece of yellow talisman paper two fingers long and four fingers wide, with red tadpole writing on it, twisted and winding.
The dark-faced middle-aged man picked up the yellow talisman and patted it gently on the jade. The paper talisman began to emit a faint red light, and red lines as thick as hair spread out from the talisman.
Jiang Yan looked a little stunned. He had been in this world for more than a month. He knew that there were weird things and warriors here. He even saw people who were possessed and killed by evil spirits yesterday, but today he saw a small It's still a bit incredible that the talisman paper is so magical.
He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
There were countless small red talisman lines on the talisman paper that were still spreading, and soon the jade was completely wrapped. The original color of the blue jade was no longer visible, and a small but bright red light was emitted. The stone platform shines brightly.
With a "pop" sound, the yellow talisman also burst into flames and turned into flying ashes.
The dark-faced middle-aged man inspected it carefully, then called the captains of each team to go up to the stone platform and give some instructions.
Being too far away, Jiang Yan didn't hear clearly what they were saying.
After a while, the road was easy to walk back, and he whispered, "All you have to do is step onto the stone platform and press the stone platform with your palm."
"Don't you need blood?" Jiang Yan lowered his head and muttered to himself.
"A drop of blood?" Although Jiang Yan said it quietly, he still heard it, "The soul-detecting talisman is only a first-level talisman. It can only test whether you are qualified to practice martial arts."
In his team, Jiang Yan made him feel a little different. He was not as sluggish as others. Just this point made him willing to mention Jiang Yan a few words.
As long as he catches his eye, he will take care of him more or less. The Dahe Gang is not monolithic. He will help you with a little effort and show a little kindness. If there is someone in his team who is qualified to practice martial arts, he can easily recruit him. Within your own small group.
"Spirit-detecting talisman, first-level talisman..." Jiang Yan did not speak, but secretly remembered these two words in his heart.
While he was talking, someone had already stepped onto the stone platform to conduct a test.
Jiang Yan noticed that when someone pressed on the jade, the jade had no reaction. When a few people pressed on the jade, the red light on the jade became stronger.
"The red light becomes stronger and stronger, which means you have the qualifications to practice martial arts."
Seeing everyone staring intently, Lu Yi added another sentence.
In fact, even if he didn't say it, everyone had guessed that people with martial arts qualifications were arranged to stand behind the group of Dahe Gang disciples.
Time passed slowly, and finally it was Lu Yi's team's turn. Everyone stepped onto the high platform one by one and pressed down on the jade stone.
Ren Tao was in front of Jiang Yan. At this moment, he turned around and showed a smile that was uglier than crying. "Jiang Yan..." He was shaking a little, obviously very scared inside.
"Let's change the order, I..." At this point, he fell silent.
Jiang Yan did not speak, but just moved his steps. No one laughed at Ren Tao. Everyone knew that the result of this moment could even affect their own future.
Jiang Yan wasn't very calm at the moment, because he didn't know what he was doing, but he had the martial arts modifier ability. Even if he really didn't have the qualifications, it would be okay to give him a little push, he thought silently.
Without any time to think about it, he walked up to the stone platform and reached out to press the jade stone. A stream of hot air rushed in along his palm, as if pressing against a piece of red-hot iron. He wanted to raise his hand, but found a strong suction force. Fix his palm on the jade stone.
The hot air flowed throughout the body, and finally merged into one stream like a river flowing into the sea, returning to the jade stone.
Suddenly, the jade's red light flashed slightly.
"Okay, you can leave, next one."
The dark-faced middle-aged man ordered Ren Tao to test, and then pointed at Jiang Yan in the direction of the Dahe Gang disciples, indicating that he had the qualifications to practice martial arts and would wait there first.
Walking off the stone platform, his heart felt as if a big stone had fallen to the ground. He felt a little relaxed. Jiang Yan looked around. Some people were depressed, some were numb, some were happy, some were jealous, and they looked like all living beings.
"Jiang Yan, wait for me."
Behind him, Ren Tao's cheerful voice sounded. It seemed that he also had the qualifications to practice martial arts. Jiang Yan pursed his lips and congratulated Ren Tao.
As the two approached, they heard these people with martial arts qualifications talking. They heard a sharp voice, "You don't think that just because we have martial arts qualifications, we will become masters, do you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed.
