Chapter 455 The Praetorian Guard
I practiced with Wei Yang for the middle of the night and was so tired that I felt sore all over. Wei Yang let me go when it was getting late. I went to take a cool shower and lie on the bed to sleep. In the morning, when I opened my eyes, I saw Wei Yang sitting next to me. This was a bit scary. A person who looked exactly like me looked at you and felt very uncomfortable.
Wei Yang gave me the mask, which was a half-face mask covering the upper half of his face, so that others would not recognize it.
Wei Yang said: "You will bring this thing in the future. Get up quickly, I will take you to the military camp."
I followed Wei Yang to the military camp, which was the Imperial Guard. Almost all the people here are perverted. They raise a hundred kilograms of rocks with one hand effortlessly, and are proficient in swords, guns, swords and halberds. Most importantly, they all wear masks.
On the way, Wei Yang told me about the system of the Imperial Guards. After arriving at the local area, I asked, "When are you planning to deal with Shen Tu Xiao?"
Wei Yang sighed, "This is not too anxious."
"There is not much time left." I walked into the barracks and shouted to the leader and hugged him.
Wei Yang looked there for a while and then left. The head of the Imperial Guard was a well-proportioned person. The most obvious difference was that his clothes were different from others. In the Imperial Guard, he was the top leader. He was responsible for training the Imperial Guard. The Imperial Guard was also divided into levels, including three levels. The first level was to protect the king and ministers, the second level was to protect important places, and the third level was to newly enlisted in the army.
As long as you pass the test, you can upgrade. I originally thought I was going to train with the war troops, but our part of the imperial guards was only responsible for protecting the safety of the palace.
I don’t know what Wei Yang was thinking, so I went there to carry him.
"You are new, what's your name?"
"Xiaoshi."
"Remember, this is the Imperial Guard, the training is very hard, so I can't hold on as soon as possible. Also, my name is Luo Xing, you can call me Lao Luo. In addition to your training, you are also responsible for your task allocation. If you have any questions, you can come to me, do you understand?"
"Um."
"Okay, you go and follow the A-Zizi No. 1 team to start with weight-bearing practice."
Luo Xing pointed me in a direction. A group of people over there were bare-armed people carrying a stone and running at both ends in winter. They were so tired that they sweated like rain. Since they were here, let's do what Wei Yang said. I walked over and carried a stone, which weighed about a hundred pounds. Some people should be novices who were just like me, and there were people on both sides to help them and walked slowly.
I carried it myself and walked slowly, then ran quickly. I trained my weight-bearing ability and went back to learn kung fu with Wei Yang at night. A week later, Luo Xing arranged for everyone in our A-No. 1 team to start patrolling the imperial city at night.
Wei Yang did not ask me to turn it off, but asked me to do what Luo Xing said.
When patrolling at night, I put on my armor and a team of seven people set off. The ones at night were turned black, and I kept walking around the city with torches, changing shifts every hour, and I had to keep walking during this hour.
Many people have started to complain, but they dare not shout loudly and complain in private.
The place where we rested was the post of the Imperial Guard, which was located under the city wall. To put it bluntly, it was to build a secret door on the city wall, and after entering, it was closed. From the outside, it was still an ordinary city wall. But when we went out, we were like a ghost, and a team of soldiers walked out of the city wall for no reason. If it was the first time we came to the imperial city, we wouldn't be scared to death when we saw this scene.
I also encountered a very interesting thing while patrolling. Sometimes I met a maid holding a red lantern in my hand. I couldn't see my face clearly. Every time I saw them, we would stop and wait for them to come first. I watched them come in through the city wall.
Moreover, these people walked without sound, carrying a red lantern and floating around the imperial city.
The next day I asked Luo Xing what the people like are doing. Luo Xing said to me with a serious look on his face, "Don't ask about this kind of thing in the future, it has nothing to do with you, just do your own thing."
If I pester him again, he will be furious. I had to go back and ask Wei Yang. Wei Yang explained: "Those are the souls of the previous dynasty. Countless people will die every time the dynasty of the imperial city change. Most of their corpses are directly cremated in the imperial city, and their souls have nowhere to be buried, so they will appear in the imperial city in the middle of the night."
I heard his explanation and felt a layer of cold sweat broke out on my back. I felt like I was really a ghost. No wonder many people, Luo Xing just didn't say it. If this is said, who will still do it here?
Wei Yang instructed: "You should just do those things as Luo Xing said and don't provoke them, otherwise no one can save you even if your magic power is great."
Think about the sacrifices in the imperial city, their Taoist skills and ability to catch ghosts should be much higher than mine. Why didn’t all the ghosts in the imperial city be cleaned up? Is it because I am compassionate? I think it is definitely not, so I will not provoke them over my own abilities.
Another night when I was patrolling, it was no wonder that I saw those ghosts who picked red lanterns. Two days later, I was arranged to patrol during the day, and it was still the same group of people. I felt that I had almost done my best to practice with weight, so I found Luo Xing for the assessment. I successfully entered the A-zi 2 team and started to learn archery.
According to the level of the bow, it is divided into one stone, two stones and three stones. It is a bit difficult to pull a stone bow, let alone the one above. There are some smaller ones below, but the one stone bow is the standard for the imperial guards. To pass the assessment, you must use the three stone bow to pull out, use the two stone bow to shoot a target a hundred meters away in a row, and then use the one stone bow to ride and shoot on the horse's back.
This level is much more difficult, but there are many training props in the military camp that allow you to train your arm strength and balance the food. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, your arm strength will definitely become stronger and stronger.
During this period, my mission was to patrol the imperial city, and the patrol locations were different every day. I also found that there were more than one strange place in the imperial city.
At night, a sad song came from a palace. After a long time, I realized that there was no one living place. Who was the song I heard? Everyone was very confused, but gradually they understood what was going on. Everyone knew it, but they didn't speak, and kept it in their hearts.
The training in the military camp was very hard, but fortunately, I had a special physique and could pull out the three stone bow within a week. Then I applied for the assessment to Luo Xing. In the shock of everyone, I successfully passed the assessment and successfully promoted to the No. 1 team of C to learn how to use various weapons.
At this time, I had already wandered around the imperial city and could even draw a road map. The next job I had to do was to guard, that is, to act as a guard guard, standing there motionless. Although it was a little easier than patrol, it was boring after standing for a long time.
