"Do you do chores?" asked Takato in astonishment.

"Boy, don't look down on miscellaneous labor, doing miscellaneous labor in the mountain gate is the most important way to boil your muscles and bones, temper your will, and exercise the foundation of your cultivation. The old man's tone was affirmative.

Gao Yuan nodded in approval.

"Boy, what are you waiting for? Go to the city square and take a look, there is also a quota limit for the recruitment of miscellaneous servants at the mountain gate, and it will not be recruited when it is full. The old man was busy, anxious for him to sign up.

At this time, Gao Yuan thought that Xiaopang and Jing Yuexin were both recommended to be sent to Zixiao Mountain, and he really didn't have a place to go, if he also went to Zixiao Mountain, it would indeed be a good choice for the three of them to take care of them.

Thinking of this, he didn't think much about it, and immediately saluted the old man, "Thank you for the old man's advice, I'm going now, and there will be a date later!"

"Okay, good!" The old man smiled all over his face and said, "Go quickly, go quickly, there will be a period later!"

Gao Yuan did not procrastinate, saluted the old man again, turned around and followed the crowd that poured into the city, and went towards the city.

About a pillar of incense, the crowd came to a square with a lake, the smoke willows, green onions, flowers and lotuses reflect each other, the winding corridor water pavilion rockery flowing water, the lake breeze blows, the water mist hides the fragrance of flowers, it is a good place with beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery.

At this time, people from all over the city, with their children, poured into the square, making the square crowded.

It can be seen that many officials are trying to maintain order in the square.

And in the center of the square, several officials lined up to guard, making the order the most orderly.

From a distance, there were several long tables placed side by side under the rockery in the center of the square, except for a fat young man in purple shirt sitting behind the first table, and behind each other table sat a young disciple of Zixiao Mountain wearing a cyan robe.

Afterwards, there was a middle-aged man in a purple robe, sitting on a wide chair behind a table of eight immortals, sipping fragrant tea from time to time, and accepting the attentive conversation of several people on the side.

Judging from their clothing, these people who were talking to the purple-robed middle-aged man should be local officials at all levels in Rongcheng.

The outer crowd did not line up honestly, they all squeezed in, Gao Yuan was quickly crowded by the crowd and came to the bottom of the rockery, to here there are officials to maintain order, and there is also the majesty of the Xianmen people here, people dare not make a time, so they have to obey the command of the officials and line up quietly.

At this time, Gao Yuan looked carefully at the tables, and saw the fat young man in the purple robe behind the first table, holding a pen and ink to do the thing of recording his name, and when the adults took their children to register their names, they would give the fat young man a purse and the like.

Next, the children, accompanied by their own adults, went to the second table for a bone check-up, and then went to the third table for a blood test.

Bone examination, Gao Yuan knows, is to determine the age of the child by touching the bones.

A blood test is the use of a testing instrument to draw a child's spiritual blood to test their spiritual talents.

However, the spiritual blood in the child's body is very rare, the most precious, and after being extracted, it will cause great harm to the child's body, and it will not be used by ordinary large families.

Most families determine the cultivation talent of their children by observing their children's progress and performance in various aspects, or by cultivating special exercises and cultivating advanced practitioners.

However, the special exercises that can probe people's cultivation talents are extremely difficult to cultivate, and they are not of much benefit to improving their cultivation, and very few people will cultivate, and most of them will be lost over time.

As for that kind of legendary magic testing weapon, it costs a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures, and even if it is a large sect, it will not be used easily.

Therefore, the mountain gate basically uses the method of blood test to recruit disciples in this kind of netting method.

Most of the children at the scene couldn't stand this kind of devastation, and after being drained of spiritual blood, they immediately looked gloomy, and some couldn't help the pain, and even cried.

It's just that if you do this, you will immediately be laughed at by others.

Therefore, most children are trying their best to endure the pain, if they can be recruited into the mountain gate, this pain is nothing!

Time passed slowly, and when the sun rose high, it was finally Gao Yuan's turn, he clenched his palms, and stepped to the fat young man's table. "Name?" asked the fat young man behind the first table, without raising his head, to Gao Yuan, who was standing in front of the table.

"High, high mountains, far away. Gao Yuan replied.

Suddenly, the fat young man glanced up at him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Hmph, looking at your poor and sour appearance, you don't look like a family member of the Gao family." ”

Then, he sneered, "The Gao family has always disdained to enter a second-rate sect, how can they deign to be an outer disciple, it's Lao Tzu's heart." ”

Gao Yuan was inexplicably said by the fat young man, and frowned, but he couldn't refute it.

Besides, as a child of the criminal family, he must not reveal his identity unless necessary, and he is here to do miscellaneous labor, let alone show his identity to smear the family's face.

At this time, the fat young man wrote Gao Yuan's name on the list and glanced at him, meaning of course to ask him to present some money.

Gao Yuan waited motionlessly for the fat young man to give him the number plate, and the fat young man had to raise his fingers and make a gesture. Gao Yuan understood his analogy, and said with a blushing face: "Senior brother, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I didn't have ......"

"What?" The fat young man immediately screamed in surprise, gritted his teeth and said, "Nothing, dare to come?"

"Senior brother, I want to enter the mountain gate to do miscellaneous labor, and I still need to hand over ......," Gao Yuan hurriedly added.

"Phew!"

The fat young man spat on the ground, and then glanced at Gao Yuan, "If there is a fart, let it go early, look...... Look at you as a handyman!" As he spoke, he crossed Gao Yuan out of the directory on the table, took out another directory, rewrote it, and immediately threw him a black sign.

Gao Yuan stretched out his hand to take the black card, but saw that there were no numbers on it, but he didn't ask any more, turned around and walked towards the second table.

"Hey, stop me!" the fat young man suddenly called.

Gao Yuan hurriedly turned around and asked, "Senior brother, what else is going on?"

The fat young man looked angry, "You are a handyman who enters the mountain gate, you don't need a test, just go and stay aside." ”

At this time, the people around him began to point at Gao Yuan, to the effect that he didn't expect that a young man like him could not cultivate and go to study, but he would go to the mountain gate to be the handyman who was driven by people.

Gao Yuan didn't think so, he was not less ridiculed and looked down upon like this in the family, he had long been used to it, he turned around and came behind the fat young man, standing there without squinting, waiting for the next instructions.

Several Zixiao Mountain's Tsing Yi disciples seem to have made a lot of money and water this time, and their work efficiency is still quite high, when Jin Wu rose to the sky, they had already registered the children who came to sign up for the test, and during this period, they received six or seven miscellaneous servants, and their age seemed to be much older than Gao Yuan, among them there was even a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard.

It took another half an hour, the fat young man and several other disciples in green shirts summarized the list and test results, and handed them to the middle-aged man in the purple robe.

The fat young man took the list from the purple-robed middle-aged man, and immediately turned to the crowd and shouted, "Silence!"

This loud shout naturally used some spiritual power, and the noise in the square stopped abruptly.

Only then did the fat young man clear his throat and say loudly: "Next, read the number, and the person holding the corresponding number plate will line up behind me." ”

In this mortal world, if an ordinary family can have a child who becomes a disciple of the outer sect of the Xiuzhen Sect, it is a great achievement, which is enough to glorify the lintel, not to mention the family of a small family.

However, as we can see today, the filthy atmosphere is blatant, and it is basically difficult for small families to have children recruited into the mountain gate.

And people obviously knew whose number plate was read, that is, they were recruited as disciples of the outer sect of Zixiao Mountain, and they were immediately excited, but no one dared to make a noise.

"Seventy-eight, one hundred and twenty, one hundred and fifty-six, two hundred and forty-five......" The fat young man read ten signs in one breath.

The children in the crowd who were reading the number plate immediately rushed forward happily under the watchful care of their parents.

There are also excited parents who scold their children for not being angry.

There are even parents who beat their children to get angry.

Most of the parents sighed, handed over the useless number plate to the attached officials, and began to leave the venue with their children.

At this time, the purple-robed middle-aged man who had been drinking tea all morning suddenly got up from his chair and greeted the crowd, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Senior Brother Bai, why did you come here now, Senior Brother has been waiting for you all morning, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't leave here, I would have gone to look for you to catch up with the past." ”

Gao Yuan, who had been standing in place, looked up and found that the "Senior Brother Bai" in the mouth of the middle-aged man in the purple robe was actually Bai Chop who returned to Rongcheng with them yesterday, and after Bai Chop, who had changed into a white robe, he was followed by Xiaopang and Jing Xinyue.

"Could it be that Bai Qi is also a disciple of Zixiao Mountain?" Gao Yuan was stunned in his heart.

"Senior Brother He. ”

Seeing Senior Brother He coming up, Bai Chu hugged his fists and saluted, not at all as enthusiastic as Senior Brother He.

However, Senior Brother Nahe was completely unimpressed, and still warmly beckoned Bai Shu to come and sit at the table full of snacks.

Bai Chu was not polite, and sat directly on the guest seat, and the officials at all levels in Rongcheng on the side seemed to be very afraid of him, and they didn't dare to come forward to talk.

There was only one person who squinted his eyes from a distance, snorted twice in his nose, and babbled as if he was scolding, and that person was the fat young man of the purple-shirted disciple.
