The Path Toward Heaven

Zhong Lizi poured the glass of grain spirits down his stomach, almost choked on it, coughed twice, his face flushed.

Jiang Yuxia picked up a handkerchief from the table, ready to wipe off the wine stains on her lips.

The crowd of guests let out another exclamation, and there was even applause from somewhere in the corner. It was obvious that everyone was shocked by the drinking capacity of this red-haired girl.

Zhong Lizi looked at Jiang Yuxia and smiled sweetly, then leaned forward and hit his head heavily on the wine table, making a muffled slap.

Still no accident or miracle happened.

Just like what Jing Jiu once thought, the cultivation methods in this universe cannot make people unable to get drunk, at least in the Fire Observation and Flowing Metal Realms.

From this aspect, it is indeed somewhat useless.

Jiang Yuxia was taken aback, and hurried to check on her situation.

A female officer came over, checked Zhong Lizi's body, confirmed that there was nothing serious, and signaled Jiang and Xia to ignore it and continue to participate in the assessment.

At the moment Zhong Lizi passed out drunk, there were countless exclamations in the main hall of the sacrificial hall, followed by countless whispers, and uncontrollable laughter came from some places.

Different people naturally have different opinions on the same thing.

Mr. Xia received the gesture from the female officer confirming that nothing happened, and continued to stand expressionlessly.

The president of Xuanyu Company looked at the drunk girl, but thought of more things—father-in-law's alcohol capacity is also extremely poor, and his wife is also extremely poor, otherwise he wouldn't have been coaxed by him back then to get a marriage certificate... Could this be the so-called heredity?

The exclamation in front of the TV also had different emotions, most of them were surprise and sympathy, and the exclamation at the barbecue stall in the underground street was full of shock and worry.

Let me just say it! The owner of the barbecue stall angrily took off his hat, threw it on the ground, pointed at the TV and said, Even the angle, strength, and voice of being drunk are exactly the same! I said that she obviously can't drink, but this time she has to take a drink test. Is it because the people above are deliberately targeting us?

...

...

Not only rude, but also completely ignorant of self-knowledge, to be eliminated just like that.

The corners of Mo Zhong's lips were slightly raised, a sneer occasionally appearing and disappearing, and he picked up the red wine glass in his hand and drank slowly.

Jiang Yuxia confirmed that Zhong Lizi was fine, sat back on his table, picked up a porcelain cup and tasted a kind of rice wine seriously.

Huaxi opened her big eyes, looking at the wine bottles curiously, and poured some of each into the glass, not knowing what kind of wine she wanted to mix.

The confusion caused by Zhong Lizi's drunkenness subsided quickly, and people's eyes fell on the three black-haired girls again.

Not long after, Mo Zhi changed three glasses, drank the wine from the bottom of the three glasses, and was the first to stop, showing a confident smile.

She felt that this assessment was to observe the self-control ability of the candidates.

One after another, some girls put down the wine glasses in their hands, saying that it was over.

Jiang and Xia were still drinking, and the speed of toasting was neither fast nor slow, very steady, and naturally had a sense of beauty, which was pleasing to the eye.

Huaxi's childish little face has turned red. Mixing several different types of wine, the taste may not be bad, but it is easier to get drunk.

She suddenly raised her sleeve to cover her little face, hiccupped, and then looked at the crowd with some embarrassment, her little face turned even redder.

There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the crowd of guests watching the ceremony.

...

...

About half an hour later, as a girl from the third Rift Valley military base with the best drinker put down her glass, the last assessment of the day officially ended.

What made Mo Zhi and some girls dissatisfied was that until the end, the sacrificial hall did not announce that Zhong Lizi and the other two drunk girls were eliminated.

——They are already drunk like that, why haven't they been disqualified?

Mr. Xia whispered a few words with a bishop and walked to the middle of the hall.

The discussion in the sacrificial hall disappeared, and everyone was waiting for him to announce the final result, at least the result of this round of assessment.

Surprisingly, Mr. Xia did not do this, but announced...the assessment officially began!

Following these words, the priests and female officials rushed from behind the stone pillars on both sides of the hall like a tide, and took away the wine bottles and glasses at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time brought back the theological classics and put them on the table.

The theological classics placed on each table were the ones that the girls had read before, without any confusion. It was obvious that the sacrificial hall had long been prepared for this moment.

Looking at this scene, the crowd exclaimed again, and some people behind couldn't help standing up. In the first test of memory, both the people in the sacrificial hall and the audience in front of the TV thought it was too simple and meaningless, but it turned out that they were waiting here!

More than an hour has passed, and there was still the martial arts assessment hosted by Ran Handong, and the girls drank so much alcohol at this time... Can they still remember the sentences in the classics?

When the girls heard Mr. Xia's words clearly, they received a great mental shock. Coupled with the influence of the previous alcohol, many of them could no longer maintain a peaceful appearance, showing nervous emotions on their faces. Some girls couldn't help but look towards the stands, wanting to find their family or school and get some information from them.

Mo Zhi looked at the chaotic scene around him, the corners of his lips curled up again, revealing a confident smile, thinking that he had an excellent memory, and he didn't drink any alcohol at all just now...

While she was thinking about these things, the priest standing in front of her asked blankly, What are the three definitions of gods explained by the priest Dongshan in the second line of Article 4 of the Shallow Theory?

...

...

Other girls are also being asked this question.

During the first assessment, they had just finished reading the theological classics assigned to them, and they had a very deep memory, and they answered without stagnation, but they all got stuck at this time.

The dual effects of Ran Handong's coercion and alcohol had a great impact on their memory awakening.

Not long after, several girls were announced to be eliminated because they gave three wrong answers in a row.

Immediately afterwards, more and more girls left their seats, and there were even faint cries from the long road.

...

...

Jiang Yuxia lowered her head slightly, her expression was calm, her eyelashes were unblinking, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Some people thought that she had forgotten the contents of the classics like other candidate girls, and they couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

She raised her head, looked at Zhong Lizi, who was still drunk on the table beside her, sighed in her heart, and began to softly answer the question raised by the priest in front of her.

——Li Zi seems to be dying, so let's do it by ourselves.

She was educated since she was a child, and her only ideal was to become a priestess. Although as she grew older, due to certain aspects of rebellious psychology, she gradually drifted away from this ideal, but she still regarded it as a pearl that could not be stained.

She didn't want to be a priestess, but she didn't want this holy and solemn position to be in the hands of those people—such as Mo Zhi.

Jiang Yuxia's answer was very accurate, not a single word was wrong, it flowed out from between her lips and teeth as smoothly as spring water, and landed in everyone's ears.

The priest who inspected her had a look of admiration in his eyes.

Huaxi's answer was also very smooth. Although due to drinking, the speed of speech became a little slow, and the voice was a little childish, but I couldn't find any faults.

The eyes of the female officer in charge of inspecting her became softer and softer.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the most confident Mo Zhi made a mistake in the beginning.

Priest Dongshan’s three definitions of gods in the superficial theory were extremely biased, and she hadn’t read them in the previous preparations, and she was too relaxed at this time, and she reversed the first half of the sentence “Gods are not the source of everything, but the focus of everything.”

Fortunately, she had to make three mistakes before being eliminated. She restrained her mind and carefully recalled what she had memorized before, and finally did not make any more mistakes.

As time passed, only a dozen or so black-haired girls passed the assessment and remained in the arena.

Besides, there was the red-haired girl who was still drunk.

The bishop who guarded the second city came over, looked at the priest standing in front of the red-haired girl's desk, and said blankly, Why haven't you started yet?

The priest said helplessly: People are still awake, how can we take the test?

The bishop walked up to Zhong Lizi and put his finger in front of her nose.

People were speechless looking at this scene, wondering if they were still afraid that she would die of drunkenness?

At this time, Zhong Lizi woke up slowly, smelling of alcohol and dazed, completely unaware of what happened just now.

The bishop told her the content of the last assessment, turned around and walked away, quietly wiped off the secret plaster on his right hand.

Zhong Lizi's drunkenness subsided a little, and his headache still persisted. He rubbed his forehead and was stunned for a while before remembering what the bishop said, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

The priest couldn't delay any longer and started asking questions directly.

Zhong Lizi didn't care about the demeanor problems that Jiang Yuxia reminded himself, sat cross-legged, raised his right hand high, covered his forehead with his left hand, and shouted loudly: Wait a minute! Wait a moment!

All eyes fell on her.

People all over the planet are watching her.

The president of Xuanyu Company could no longer sit still, and leaned forward slightly, with a nervous expression on his face.

In front of countless TVs, I don't know how many people are cheering her on.

The night market barbecue stalls in the underground neighborhood are surrounded by people, who are clenched their fists nervously and kept shouting: Wake up!

Zhong Lizi suddenly took a deep breath, withdrew his hands, took off the hair tie from his wrists to tie up his red hair, then reached out to take a handful of water in the celadon bowl, poured it on his face, and rubbed it vigorously twice.

The drops of water slid down the youthful face, as if a rainstorm had just passed, and a petal was left on it, which was very beautiful.

She looked at the priest as she looked at her own past life, and cried, Come on!

...

...

When he saw this, Jing Jiu didn't look any more, got up and walked towards the gray curtain.

He knew where the story was going.

This has nothing to do with the fact that he once wrote a two-million-word novel, but only because the story that is happening is related to him.

He stayed here for such a long time, mainly because he was worried that Zhong Lizi was too drunk, so he vomited it out, and it would be difficult to deal with it when he returned to the hotel at night.

The guests in the sacrificial hall, the candidate girls, and the audience in front of the TV did not know how this story would develop.

Countless people looked at the red-haired girl with various emotions.

Zhong Lizi's voice was a little hoarse, obviously due to the effect of alcohol. It was not smooth at the beginning, and she often got stuck after speaking a few words. However, as time went by, she didn't know whether it was because of the alcohol or some other reason. Her answering speed became faster and more fluent, and she actually performed very well.

Jiang Yuxia looked at her from the side, his eyes were extremely bright, full of surprise and pride.

Mo Zhi's face became increasingly ugly. Huaxi's big eyes are full of admiration. In her opinion, it's not a big deal for this red-haired sister to recite these difficult sentences. The key is that she actually wants to wash her face with the petal water in the celadon bowl, so handsome...

As the question and answer progressed, the exclamation in the sacrificial hall became louder and louder. The guests who watched the ceremony really did not expect that this girl from the underground street actually did it!

The president of Xuanyu Company nodded slightly, very relieved, thinking that he really deserves to be the chairman's...fancy child.

There were bursts of cheers from the grassland outside the sacrificial hall. In front of the televisions in countless families, those who chose to support Zhong Lizi for various reasons excitedly waved their fists, and the children kept running around.

The cafeteria of Xinshi College was even more chaotic. Zhong Lizi's former classmates kept beating the table and shouting inexplicably.

The owner of the game hall in the underground block stared at the TV light curtain, and suddenly kicked over, kicked the thief to the ground, and shouted: Get out!

There are beer bottles everywhere beside the barbecue stalls in the night market. The owner of the barbecue stall kept bumping into people with the bottles. Even Mr. Dan, who doesn't drink much, took a small bottle of distilled wine and drank slowly.

He has been squatting in the darkened operating room all year round, his health is not very good, his eyes are blurred after drinking a few sips, and he murmured: It's amazing, it's amazing, as expected of the professor's daughter, but that professor is too stupid...

...

...

After confirming that he had answered all the questions correctly, without any mistakes, Zhong Lizi relaxed a little, the drunkenness that had been suppressed forcibly surged up again, and his cheeks that were cold by the water began to heat up again.

The assessment seems to be over at this point, and the female officers and priests of the priest family came to do the final questioning, as if they were going to register.

The voices of those ladies and priests are very soft, but it seems to have some kind of magic power, which can make people feel very close, and you can't wait to tell them everything.

There are still a dozen girls left in the room, most of whom are still drunk, and under the guidance of these voices, they begin to answer the other party's questions.

Mo Zhi knew that this was the real final assessment, no matter what the female officer asked, she just smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Yuxia was also smiling, but she didn't say any useful information, and the female officer didn't get any answer she wanted.

Zhong Lizi's wine is coming up again.

She kept pinching her thigh, trying to stay awake, thinking she couldn't be the last step.

It was a priest who asked her, and the priest looked at her and asked gently: You don't need to answer my question, but I suggest you answer it.

Zhong Lizi hummed vaguely.

The priest asked softly, What does your best friend do?

Zhong Lizi thought to himself that Jing Jiu had so many secrets, and maybe he was carrying a blood feud, how could this be said, and shook his head very firmly.

The priest then asked, What kind of boy do you like?

Zhong Lizi thought to himself that Jing Jiu had so many secrets, and maybe he was carrying a blood feud, how could this be said, and shook his head very firmly.

The priest asked again, What is your greatest secret?

Zhong Lizi thought to himself that Jing Jiuyou... oh...why did he seem to have thought of this sentence just now.

The effect of the medicine given to her by the Bishop of Shou Er City gradually wore off. At this time, she gradually became drunk, and she was a little confused. She shook her head with a smirk.

The little girl named Huaxi also drank too much, and she smirked at the female officer in front of her.

The guests watching the ceremony looked at the two smirking girls and found it so funny that they couldn't help but also laughed.

For a moment, the empty and solemn sacrificial hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
