The next day Guo Xun packed up and prepared to leave. When he left, the only two brothers and sisters who came to see him off were Lan Xiong and Lan Yue.
"Brother Guo, take care on your way back. I don't know if we have a chance to meet again after we say goodbye today."
"Brother Lan, why should you care? We will meet each other if we are destined."
"Brother Guo, I have always had a question. I wonder if I should ask it?"
"Oh! Please tell me." Guo Xun was curious about what questions Lan Xiong would ask him.
"Brother Guo doesn't look like an ordinary person! You must have practiced cultivation, right?"
"Yes! To be honest, I am a body trainer. Body training is too hard and I can't fly, so I want to try to see if I can join a cultivation sect and become a true cultivator."
"That's it. Brother Guo, don't be discouraged. You're so good at refining qi, it will definitely be fine."
"Come on! How can I practice qi when I don't even have spiritual roots! Isn't this looking for trouble?"
"Hey!" Lan Xiong scratched his chin awkwardly.
"By the way, I have one thing to ask you before I leave. Where can I get body-training techniques?"
"Body-training techniques? Brother Guo, aren't you a body-trainer? Don't you have body-training techniques?"
"Yes..." Guo Xun lowered his head in embarrassment, expressing that he was wronged.
Lan Xiong has a strange look on his face, is this okay?
"How can you practice without any skills?"
Oops! How could I forget this! Guo Xun secretly thought that he was talking too much.
"I have a master who taught me how to train my body."
Lan Xiong became interested as soon as he heard it. To be able to teach a disciple who has no spiritual roots so well, this master must not be simple.
"Then your master must be very powerful! I wonder where Brother Guo studied. Have I heard of him?"
Guo Xun was a little embarrassed at this time. Where did he get his master?
If I had a master, would I still take this exam? Forget it, just make one up!
"My master comes from Zixu Mountain and is known as Wuyou Taoist. I wonder if Brother Lan has heard of it."
Lan Xiong shook his head, "There are no Taoists in Zixu Mountain! I have never heard of it."
Guo Xun secretly thought it was funny, this Zixu and Wuyou are both together, isn’t it just Zixu and Wuyou! It's strange that you've heard of it.
"Brother Guo, the Lihuo Sword Sect is a qi refining sect and there are no people in the body refining at all, so it's in vain for you to go in. As for whether there is a body refining sect in this world, I don't know, but I heard that all the troops are body refining. , I wonder if the army has the skills you want."
Guo Xun's eyes lit up, "The army! How to get to the army?"
"There is a military camp away from Fire City, just over the west city gate, but I heard that the northern border is not peaceful, and joining the army is likely to lead to the battlefield. Brother Guo should think twice!"
"Thank you, Brother Lan, for reminding me. I will think about it. Then I will leave."
Guo Xun couldn't wait.
"Brother Guo, we are destined to meet again!"
"Brother Xun, have a safe journey."
After Guo Xun said goodbye to Lan Xiong and Lan Yue, he planned to visit the military camp Lan Xiong mentioned.
Guo Xun didn't feel there was anything wrong with the Lan family. Instead, he felt that the Lan family treated him well.
The Lan family also gave him some clothes and money before leaving, so even if they wanted to drive him away, he didn't complain at all.
How many people who are not relatives or friends can help you? I think so too.
"It would be great if you could practice cultivation by joining the army! But joining the army requires you to go to the battlefield, and it is very unsafe to fight! Alas! I can't care about that much, so let's go and take a look first!"
Guo Xun went to the west gate alone. He was now alone and had no way to go home. He could only take one step at a time.
It is relatively remote from the west gate of Fire City, and the further you go this way, the fewer people there are.
Sure enough, as Lan Xiong said, the military camp was right next to the West City Gate. Guo Xun saw the military camp as soon as he arrived at the West City Gate.
The military camp is just to the left of the city gate. A large area here is occupied by the military camp, so it is particularly conspicuous.
There is a huge plaque directly above the gate of the military camp, with the four characters "Tanghuang Military Camp" written in gold on it, which is extremely majestic.
The Tang Emperor's Military Camp was quite far away from the City Lord's Palace, which was at the East Gate. Although the City Lord's Palace and the Tang Emperor's Military Camp were both state institutions of the Tang Emperor's Kingdom, the two were not in a superior-subordinate relationship.
The city lord's palace also has its own army, but this army is only responsible for handling the affairs of Lihuo City and Lihuo County.
The Tang Huang Military Camp is a military institution directly under the management of the state and is the place responsible for the recruitment and training of personnel.
In the end, everyone in the Tang Emperor's military camp will be sent to the frontline battlefield, but there are more promotion opportunities here than in the City Lord's Mansion.
"Tang Huang's military camp! So majestic."
Guo Xun looked at the four big characters on the door and sighed in his heart. He strode in without saying a word.
Guo Xun was walking swaggering inside. No one stopped or greeted him. The surroundings were quiet, which made Guo Xun feel strange.
Isn't this a military camp? Why does it look so deserted? Why is there not a single person to train, where are the people? Where have everyone gone!
A lot of question marks popped up in Guo Xun's mind.
Guo Xun walked around the military camp for a while, but he didn't meet anyone. He became a little impatient and shouted loudly:
"Is there anyone? I'm here to join the army. Is there anyone there?"
After a while, no one answered. Guo Xun felt very bored. What kind of military camp was this? What's going on in this country!
Just as he was about to leave, an old voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Young man, are you here to sign up for the army?"
Guo Xun was a little surprised, turned around and looked at the voice, and saw that it was an old man, so Guo Xun replied respectfully:
"Yes, I wonder if this old man can tell me where I can sign up!"
The old man sighed and said, "Since you want to join the army, come with me!"
Guo Xun followed the old man to a corner beside the military camp square. There was a square platform in the corner, with three big red characters "Recruiting Platform" written directly in front of the square platform.
After the old man sat down, he took out a piece of paper and said:
"Sit down, young man! Fill out this form, and then sign and pledge it."
Guo Xun looked at the paper handed over by the old man and asked curiously: "Old man, is this paper useful?"
"This piece of paper is the registration form for joining the army. After filling it out and signing it, you will be a soldier of the Tang Dynasty."
Guo Xun originally thought that there would be another test, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.
He looked at the contents on the form, and most of them were as he thought.
It's nothing more than obeying orders, being loyal to the country, and then training more and practicing more.
After going to the battlefield and achieving results to gain more resources, you can be promoted and make a fortune, becoming a general or the like.
Of course, these are not enough to attract Guo Xun. What really makes Guo Xun's heart beat is that joining the army will give him the skills to practice.
Seeing this, Guo Xun happily signed the form.
