From the Valley of the Wicked to the Town of Demons

"This martial arts test, there are a few good seedlings, Bai Jinwei, you have picked up a treasure."

In a side hall of Zhenyaosi, a purple-robed official and a green-clothed woman stood side by side, looking at nearly a hundred people who had passed the martial arts test in the distance, talking calmly.

The woman in Tsing Yi looked stern, looked at the officials beside her, and couldn't help showing disgust on her face, so she didn't answer.

But the official obviously didn't want to shut up, but continued talking as if talking to himself.

"Eunuch Li has a lot of opportunities to deal with every day. It is a special kindness to you to agree to recruit Yulin Guards to replenish your Feiyu camp. I hope you can understand his painstaking efforts in promoting you.

The thing about the big monster in the East City angered the Holy One, Eunuch Li carried it for you, you know, Eunuch Li has never been so partial to other Jinwei. "

When the official said this, he glanced at the woman in Tsing Yi beside him, as if he wanted to see her reaction.

"Bai Ruyi will definitely do her duty, and I have reported my father-in-law's great favor."

Bai Jinwei arched his hands in the air, saying so, but his expression was full of disgust.

"It's good to know how to repay your kindness. I will personally attend the next essay test, and I will definitely pass it for you."

After the purple-robed official finished speaking, he left the side hall and walked towards the crowded place.

"Hmph, slap Tianzao, you intersex people really think this girl is a three-year-old child?"

The woman in Tsing Yi watched the official walk away, stuck out her tongue in disdain, then turned her head, turned and walked towards the rear of the palace.

In a corner of Zhenyaosi's main square, all those who passed the martial arts test gathered here.

Many seats were placed here, and a group of purple-clothed officials sat down one after another. Their desks were filled with various books, and they looked at these candidates without blinking their eyelids a few times.

Obviously, these guys don't like these vulgar warriors, they can come here just as a matter of routine.

Lin Xiaochuan stood in the crowd, looking at these purple-clothed officials, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Because he found that these people are generally sissy, holding a teacup, they all raise their orchid fingers, like a group of big girls.

"These are the civil servants of the Demon Town Division, who are in charge of recruiting talents and are also the examiners of this literary examination.

They are all from Eunuch Li. "

Seeing Lin Xiaochuan's puzzled face, Guo Xiang next to him explained in a low voice.

"No wonder, it looks so strange, it turns out to be a hermaphrodite."

Lin Xiaochuan muttered in a low voice, he had never seen a eunuch in his previous life and this life, so today his eyes were opened.

At this moment, a purple-robed official came over, and the examiners who were already seated immediately got up and bowed to salute.

"This is the left and right hand of Eunuch Li of the Demon Town Division, Mr. Xue Qin and Mr. Xue, and everyone in the entire Demon Town Division is in his hands."

Guo Xiang continued talking, then lowered her head by another three points.

"Could it be that this demon town is under the control of the palace?"

Lin Xiaochuan said in a low voice, wondering how such a big yamen as Zhenyaosi would fall into the hands of a group of Yin and Yang people.

After all, according to previous life memories, all departments that fell into the hands of eunuchs in history eventually became the source of disasters, so now that the Zhenyaosi is in the hands of a group of eunuchs, I am afraid that in the future...

"It's a long story. Today's literary test is over. I'll treat Brother Lin to a few drinks, and I'll explain it to you when the time comes."

Guo Xiang didn't dare to talk about this kind of topic at this time, so she postponed the matter until night.

After all, as a chatterbox, he also has a lot to say, but he is not an idiot, and the consequences of talking in front of this group of hermaphrodites will be terrible, so now, he is also very uncomfortable...

But no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to endure it.

"First of all, congratulations to all of you who have passed the Yulinwei's military test, and now, it's time to start the literary test.

Let me explain clearly to you first that the essay test is divided into two levels.The first level is literacy and hyphenation. Each person goes to the examiner to draw an article, and only needs to read it aloud.

The second test is to test your views on monsters. It is also a lottery. Whatever is drawn, you can talk about it. You only need to explain the content clearly.

Do you understand? "

An iron guard stood up and yelled at everyone with a loud voice like a gong, and everyone immediately opened their mouths to express that they understood.

"Since you understand it, just wait here. When I call your name, I'll come over."

The iron guard nodded, and then a bronze guard came over and handed over the roster, and he called up in groups of eight according to the roster.

Most of these martial arts do not know much, so the purple-clothed officials kept shaking their heads. Most of the things they got were poems and articles, but when they read them out, they didn't say anything, because there were no punctuation marks, so the characters were hyphenated There are all kinds of broken ones.

Lin Xiaochuan waited for a while, and then his name was called, and after walking up, he was put in front of a mustache examiner.

The mustache was obviously pasted on, and Lin Xiaochuan could even see the glue marks.

But if you don't tell the truth, you can still be friends.

"Take one."

The examiner with the mustache spread out a stack of papers on the desk, Lin Xiaochuan randomly pulled out a sheet, turned it over and took a look...

"In the beginning of human beings, their natures are inherently good. Their natures are similar, their habits are far apart..."

Wait, why is it the Three Character Classic?

Ahem, because the author doesn't know what to write, anyway, it's about the same difficulty, and it's for children to practice calligraphy.

This thing is not difficult at all.

Although it is the foundation of the basics, the mustache examiner nodded in satisfaction seeing Lin Xiaochuan's catchy reading.

It's not that you are too good, but that other people are too useless.

As far as Lin Xiaochuan's children's calligraphy essay is concerned, half of the people here may not be able to read it, which also explains another doubt of Lin Xiaochuan.

Why only recruit 60 people, but there are hundreds of people here.

Dare to love is to get rid of illiteracy.

Yulinwei could be regarded as an official of the imperial court, but an illiterate official, even a military officer, would be detrimental to the imperial court.

Therefore, the Yulinwei of the town demon division does not want to be full of knowledge, but he will never allow illiterate people to appear.

After passing the first round, Lin Xiaochuan stood on the other side, and next to him happened to be Guo Xiang, a fat man.

"This level is not difficult, but it's a pity that the warriors are vulgar and there are too many illiterate people."

Guo Xiang seemed to feel sorry for the people who couldn't pass this level, no matter how mighty they were before, they still couldn't eat the food of Yulinwei, the demon guard.

Lin Xiaochuan nodded, but in his heart he also agreed with Zhenyaosi's approach. After all, he is an official, and he doesn't know the words. This is really unreasonable.

After this round of screening, there are about 60 people left, which is basically the same as the number recruited this time.

"Now, start the second round. Those who read their names, come here."

The iron guard stood up again, shouted at the crowd, and then took the roster and began to count people.

This second round is different from the first round. There are three examiners. There is a lottery on the table in front of them. Whoever comes up will draw one from it, and then one examiner will come up with a question.

Looking at a few people from behind, Lin Xiaochuan found that the signature was written strangely, and the questions asked by the examiner were also weird.

For example, if a candidate draws the word "water", the examiner will ask him how many types of water monsters are there and how to catch them.

It's a good thing someone can answer this stuff, and say it clearly and logically.Lin Xiaochuan was listening from behind, feeling his head was befuddled, showing a look of ignorance.

"Lin Xiaochuan, Jinzhou, come up."

Just when Lin Xiaochuan was in a daze, Tie Wei spoke, which pulled Lin Xiaochuan out of his confusion, and walked forward in a daze.

"Take one."

The leading examiner said something lightly, and pointed to the lottery on the desk.

Lin Xiaochuan walked over, reached out and took one, looked at it, and there was a word "mountain" written on it.

Respectfully handing this sign to the examiners, one of the examiners said:

"Since ancient times, there have been many ghosts and monsters in the mountains and rivers. Just tell me, how did these ghosts come from?"

Lin Xiaochuan was dumbfounded. He turned his head and saw Guo Xiang in the crowd. This kid actually had a happy expression on his face, as if to say——you got the lottery.

It seems that this question is not difficult, but for Lin Xiaochuan, he is completely at a loss.

Where did the ghost come from?My parents worked hard in the "monster-making movement".

Suddenly, Fu Ling's heart came, and Lin Xiaochuan remembered a set of classics from his previous life, so he opened his mouth and said:

"Humans are born of human mothers, and demons are naturally born of demon mothers. Those who are neither male nor female are regarded as human monsters, so these demons are all born of their mothers."

After speaking, the whole audience was silent, and the examiner's complexion became strange. Even Eunuch Xue, who had been drinking tea quietly, looked at Lin Xiaochuan with an unfriendly expression.

Those eyes look like they want to eat people.

Guo Xiang covered her face and squeezed more into the crowd, for fear that Lin Xiaochuan would look over her.

"You, you actually..."

Lin Xiaochuan didn't understand what was going on, but the examiner stood up, raised his orchid finger, and pointed at Lin Xiaochuan through gritted teeth.

"Oh, I forgot, you are from the palace."

As soon as he clapped his hands, Lin Xiaochuan seemed to remember the reason, but his words can be said to have made up for it.

"Are you here to take the test, or to provoke me?"

The examiner who was in charge of the examination stood up, dressed in an official uniform, obviously a master.

"Please calm down, my lord. I just couldn't express clearly, so I will say it again."

Lin Xiaochuan quickly admitted that he did not mean it, but the lines were too familiar, so he just opened his mouth.

What's more, I have never met a eunuch in my two lifetimes, and I have never considered offending anyone.

"Hmph, needless to say, hit me twenty big boards again, and then throw out the demon town master."

Eunuch Xue said that the people in the palace are all small-bellied and have the character of vengeance.So he didn't intend to let Lin Xiaochuan go.

"Wait!"

Suddenly there was a sound like a silver bell, and everyone looked around and found a woman in fish scale armor walking from behind.

"Bai Jinwei, they are not yours yet, you don't need to intercede for him."

Eunuch Xue looked at the person coming, his expression turned gloomy again.

"I didn't come here to plead. I just think that what he said is indeed somewhat reasonable. Most of the monsters have inheritance, so they also have fathers and mothers. Although this little brother speaks vulgarly, his words are not rough, and he is not rude. I don’t know how many adults are angry about it?”

It was Bai Ruyi who came, but he took off his green clothes and put on the fish scale armor which symbolizes his identity. The golden word "town" is particularly eye-catching.

"you……"

Eunuch Xue was speechless for a while, Bai Ruyi's words really made it difficult for him to refute, so he could only flick his sleeves angrily, and walked away.

Without Eunuch Xue, the remaining purple-clothed officials naturally did not dare to confront Bai Ruyi, pretending that this hadn't happened, and let Lin Xiaochuan pass the test in a daze.

"You boy, kind, I like it."

At the end of the game, Bai Ruyi gave Lin Xiaochuan a few appreciative glances, and felt that this kid had the guts to confront those yin and yang people before he entered the town of demon division.

But Lin Xiaochuan was suffering. He didn't intend to offend these narrow-minded father-in-laws. The power in the hands of these hermaphrodites is not small. After today's incident, don't let him wear small shoes until he dies.

"This demon town is really hard to mess with."

Lin Xiaochuan sighed softly, feeling that his life here might not be too smooth.
