Getaway

Xue Daoguang went on to say: "Another question is, if there are good talents and qualities, how should we distribute them."

Xu Zhu: "According to regulations, core disciples can accept one apprentice every five years, and there is no limit to elders. But I already have five beloved disciples, so I won't accept disciples this time. It was previously agreed that no matter what the disciple's spiritual root aptitude is, as long as It is not a first-grade spiritual root, you have to practice in the outer sect for at least one year, and observe your temperament before you can be accepted as an inner disciple. Therefore, if there are second-rank spiritual root disciples this time, the elders can discuss who to accept as a disciple first, but do not tell Disciple, so as not to lose your true heart. As for the distribution of disciples, it is natural that the spiritual roots and aptitudes must be consistent, and the temper and temperament must be congenial, so that they can be accepted as disciples. The third brother has not yet accepted disciples, and Xue Daochang and Abi Chaoying only have one disciple. Good talents, you just need to accept more. Each of the four core disciples can take one apprentice, if there are many high-quality disciples, try to be satisfied."

Wang Chongyang quickly said: "Master, there are already seven disciples, so I won't accept disciples this time, and I won't accept them next time."

Xu Zhu: "Alright".

On the tenth day of June, in Yinhe Town, forty miles west of Jinan City, a young scholar was anxiously looking for an inn.

"Guest officer, to be honest, our shop was already full two days ago. If you don't mind, there is still room in the firewood room."

The scholar's name is Zhao Bingwen, a native of Cizhou, more than 300 miles away from here.Hearing that the Xiaoyao Sect was accepting disciples, he rushed to Jinan day and night, and arrived at Yinhe in more than ten days.

Zhao Bingwen was born in a scholarly family and lived in a firewood house several times.But now the situation is stronger than people.The inns in the town are all full, if we don't make a decision, there may be no firewood houses left.

"The firewood room is the firewood room. How much is it a day?"

"Forget fifteen cents a day, how many days will the guest officer stay?"

Zhao Bingwen wanted to say that he would leave tomorrow, but he wondered if Yinhe was full, would there be any vacant rooms in Fengji ahead, let alone Jinan Mansion.So he turned around and said, "Let's live first."

In Jinan City, inside the magistrate's yamen, the Jiedu envoy Xin Qiji said to the coming Huang Yaoshi:

"The situation is not optimistic. Five days ago, Jinan City was full of customers. In the past few days, Tan Ma Lai reported that nearby Shangluokou, Wangsherendian, Fengji, Xinsungeng, Zhonggong, Yaoqiang and other towns are full of customers. It’s full. People who come from afar to learn from teachers are already looking for residential accommodation. If this trend continues, in another 20 days, the entire Jinan Prefecture will be full of people.”

"Since this is the case, it seems that the plan must be changed."Yaoshi Huang said.

"But you want to start the test early?"

"good."

"Will the people who came later feel resentful because of the loss?"

"How come, all those who pass the initial test must wait until July [-]th before the unified retest."Yaoshi Huang explained.

On the same day, the Vulture Palace had another urgent meeting to discuss.

In the end, Xu Zhuzi made a decision that there is no need to wait until the fifth day of July, and the world will be notified that the test will start on June [-]th for a period of one month.

On June [-]th, Qili Mountain in the south of Jinan City, the mountain road has been completely renovated.

All the people who came to worship the teacher gathered at the foot of the mountain, about 5 to [-] people.Xin Qiji sent his own soldiers to maintain order on the scene, and ordered 'Shengyuan' to go up the mountain in an orderly manner according to the designated route.

A small square was newly opened on the top of the hill.There are five rows of stone tables neatly arranged in the square, with twenty tables in each row.A test crystal is embedded on each stone table, and each stone table is engraved with a number, from one to one hundred.

Xin Qiji personally guarded the square and let 100 people enter each time, one person per table.

Huang Yaoshi stood on an octagonal high platform several feet in size, giving orders.

"All students, hold the crystal on the table with your right hand." Huang Yaoshi ordered.

One hundred people held the test crystal in their hands, and the crystal barely responded.

"Okay, let go, all down the hill from the west side".Huang Yaoshi said blankly.

This sentence is equivalent to pronouncing that 100 people have no chance of being immortal, and everyone left disappointed.

Groups of people went up the mountain, and groups of people went down the mountain.

It was not until the ninth centurion came up the hill that one crystal glowed distinctly red.

Huang Yaoshi thought to himself: It's the third-grade fire spirit root, it's okay.

"Student No. 70 at table three, come to the front desk."

Under everyone's gaze, the student strode up to the front desk, and then disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Ignoring the astonishment of everyone present, Huang Yaoshi ruthlessly said: "Others, go down the mountain from the west side."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the last batch of students in the morning was about to take the test, when suddenly, a little girl appeared out of nowhere at the front desk.

The little girl was naturally Xiang Qingxiao, she ignored everyone's surprised eyes, and said to Huang Yaoshi with a smile:

"Junior brother, let me see if you have recruited outstanding disciples here."

"To be honest, I only recruited six third-grade spiritual roots this morning," Huang Yaoshi said, "Everyone, hold the crystal on the table with your right hand."

The test crystals all had no light.

"All descend from the west side".Huang Yaoshi said helplessly, "The test ended in the morning, and the test did not start at [-]:[-] in the afternoon."

"Your place is not bad. The worst thing is our uncle Duan's Dali. There are few people who come here, so we only accepted two third-rank spiritual roots. Guess where the situation is the best?"

"Hangzhou?" Huang Yaoshi guessed.

"Wrong answer, it's Xixia, there is a prince named Li Zunxu, who is actually a second-grade earth spirit root, how annoying," Qing Xiao said.

"The only number one emperor," Huang Yaoshi couldn't help muttering.

"What Emperor?" Qing Xiao asked puzzled.

"It's nothing," Huang Yaoshi said hastily, "With Li Zunxu's aptitude, I want to take the Xixia Imperial Examination and secure the top prize."

"As soon as I heard that the second-grade earth spirit root was found, Uncle Xue said, no one should rob him, he wants to take Li Zunxu as his disciple. If you have a good disciple here, you must inform me first." Qing Xiao said.

"Actually, the sky is full of talents, and right now there is only one person." Huang Yaoshi said.

"Who is it, you can't be talking about yourself?" Qing Xiao asked.

"Brother You'an, come and test it."

Hearing this, Xin Qiji walked into the arena, and as soon as his right hand touched the test crystal, the crystal emitted a dazzling bright orange light.

"First grade spiritual root!!" Huang Yaoshi and Qing Xiao exclaimed, "First grade spiritual root with four attributes of fire, earth, gold and water"!

"Congratulations, my lord," said the guard on the sidelines.

"Is a first-grade spiritual root very rare?" Xin Qiji asked without knowing it.

"Only one out of [-] million people, don't you think it's rare?" Huang Yaoshi said enviously.

"First-grade spiritual root, these uncles will be overthrown, so let's forget about it." Xiang Qingxiao said helplessly, "I'll go back to announce the good news."

Huang Yaoshi was surprised, but then he thought, Xin Qiji's first-grade spiritual root is normal.His literary talent is hard to say in the past, but 500 years later, how can anyone dare to compare with him!What's more, his martial arts strategy was able to take the heads of traitors from tens of thousands of enemy troops, and he was able to formulate a strategy for Beiding the Central Plains, which can be described as brave and resourceful.How could he not be a first-grade spiritual root!

There is no need for retesting for a first-grade spiritual root, and he will definitely be able to enter the Xiaoyao School, so in Huang Yaoshi's eyes, Xin Qiji is already a fellow student.

"Congratulations, Brother Xin. If you join the Xiaoyao Sect in the future, we will be of the same sect. With your aptitude and the support of the spirit array, you may be able to enter Xiantian in more than 20 years. Maybe you will enter Xiantian earlier than me." Huang Yaoshi said. .

"Brother Huang, you are being polite. I don't know anything about cultivating Taoism. If there is something I don't understand in the future, I need Brother Huang to give me some pointers."

Huang Yaoshi and Xin Qiji had just chatted a few words, and a young man appeared out of nowhere in the teleportation formation.

The young gentleman strode over and said: "You are Xin You'an, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Duan Zhengyan, the elder of the Xiaoyao Sect, with the spiritual root of five elements, and I am suitable to be your master. Would you like to worship me as your teacher?"

Xin Qiji looked at Huang Yaoshi with questioning eyes.

Huang Yaoshi said: "Uncle Duan is the number one master in the world today, the only one with the five elements in the world, and has never recruited disciples. If you worship Uncle Duan as your teacher, you will be the uncle's first disciple. With such a fate, It can be met but not sought. If you don’t make a decision early, it will not be beautiful to wait for other elders to come.”

After many days of contact, Xin Qiji trusted Huang Yaoshi very much, and immediately said: "I would like to worship you as my teacher."

Before the words fell, several people flashed out of the teleportation array one after another, they were Xue Daoguang, Abi and Chen Nan.

"Who is Yipin Xin You'an?" Xue Daoguang asked anxiously.

"This is my beloved apprentice Xin Qiji," Duan Yu said with a smile, "You must have come to congratulate me on getting my beloved apprentice."

"Brother Duan's speed is indeed the best in the world, I admire, admire!" Chen Nan said helplessly.

"Pharmacist, next time you have such a good disciple, you must tell me first, I can teach you how to join fingers." Abi said.

Several elders left disappointed.

Duan Yu immediately wanted to take Xin Qiji away, but Xin Qiji said that he must do things from the beginning to the end. He must first help Huang Yaoshi finish accepting his disciples, then submit a letter to resign from the official position, go home and settle down, and then go to Wudang Mountain.

"Go to Wudang Mountain, of course you are going to Tianshan Mountain!" Duan Yu corrected.

In the afternoon, good news came from several places where apprentices were accepted.

The first is Wudang Mountain. Tian Jianfeng, the eldest son of Tofu Tian Lao Qi, turned out to be the second-grade water and soil spiritual root, and Chen Nan made an appointment immediately.

Then there is Hangzhou City, where Liu Songnian, a student of the Imperial Academy of Painting, is a second-grade wood spirit root, and Duan Yu announced that he would take him as a disciple.

Then came Lingling City, where Liu Fangfang, the leader of the Anti-Golden Volunteer League, was the second-grade water spirit root, and was preempted by Lin Chaoying.Although Lin Chaoying knew that Liu Fangfang became the leader of the martial arts 22 years ago, and she was probably not under forty, but she didn't care.

In the evening, good news came from Jinan City again, that Zhao Bingwen, a scholar from Ci County, was the second-rank Jin Linggen, and Duan Yu took the lead.

For several days after that, no second-grade spiritual roots appeared.

The elders have important things to do, and they don't want to waste time on recruiting disciples, so they are looking for reliable agents to be responsible for recruiting disciples, and take care of other matters by themselves.

Huang Yaoshi also entrusted Xin Qiji with the full power of testing and accepting apprentices in Jinan Prefecture, and became the shopkeeper himself, helping Duan Yu purify his true energy in the morning, traveling around the world in the afternoon, and only came to inquire about the situation every evening.

In Wudang Mountain, more than 200 prospective disciples have gathered in the Taihe Palace, most of them are third-grade spiritual roots.

There are so many houses in the Taihe Palace, and another 2000 people can live there.So Chongyang ordered Ma Yu to be in charge of the male disciples, and Sun Buer to be in charge of the female disciples, and arranged for everyone to bathe and change clothes, and live in the Taihe Palace.

Then, Wang Chongyang divided the quasi-disciples into three categories: those who were proficient in writing and ink, those who knew a little bit of writing, and those who could not.

Therefore, Li Zunxu, Zhao Bingwen, Liu Fangfang and others became elementary school teachers.

In addition, Wang Chongyang led the male disciples to open up terraced fields on the hillside and plant spiritual grass every day; Sun Buer led the female disciples to cook for everyone.

The daily performance of the prospective disciples is watched by the elders.

Zhang Qingxian also brought two elders of the Zhengyi Sect to stay at the Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain, looking for outstanding disciples among the third-grade spiritual roots.

Even the Beggars' Gang and Shaolin sent elders to look for suitable disciples.
