Chapter 43: Disciples

"If he follows you, he will not be defeated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Cao Meng looked at Kong Yiming, who had already walked away.

"The wise are not afraid, the stupid are not afraid, they are afraid of this kind of self-proclaimed cleverness. The south wind took a deep breath to calm the anger in his heart.

Since the two of them left the queue, a Taoist from the Richa Temple came to drive the two back.

At this time, there are not many candidates left in the three passages, and after half a pillar of incense, the three questions of the lower hall are over, and the three places are summarized and the list of students who have passed the primary selection is announced.

The number of people who passed Tiangangzi, the head of the lower and lower halls, was the largest, one hundred and twenty, and Tianlianzi and Tianchengzi each chose sixty, a total of two hundred and forty.

Nanfeng was naturally on the list, but what he didn't expect was that Cao Meng was not on the list, and there was no Cao Meng's name until the last one.

"How so?" said the south wind.

"It may be that I am not blessed with my fate and cannot be a Taoist priest. Cao Meng was very frustrated.

"Don't worry, I'll ask you later. Nanfeng comforted him.

"Don't go, don't go," Cao Meng waved his hand again and again, "I'm already off the list, don't drag you down anymore, you go and gather, I'll go back to my residence to pack my things." ”

At this time, those students who passed the preliminary examination had already gathered at the bottom of the mountain, preparing to go up the mountain to participate in the re-examination of the six examinations of the Zhongwei Palace, but Nanfeng was not in a hurry to pass, Tianchengzi was a clear-eyed person, knowing that he wanted to bring Cao Meng but did not give him face, which made him very unhappy, so he stood in place and did not go to the bottom of the mountain to gather.

The students who passed the preliminary examination were about to finish in line, but Nanfeng still did not pass, and always pulled Cao Meng to stand in place. At this time, those who lost the election had already begun to leave, and there were not many people left in the field, Cao Meng persuaded him several times, but Nanfeng did not let go, nor did he go over to gather.

Just as the Zhike Daoist counted the number of people and was about to take people up the mountain, a young Taoist hurriedly walked from a distance, and when the two of them approached, he whispered to Cao Meng, "Congratulations to Daoyou, congratulations to Daoyou, Master Tiancheng saw that you have a good temperament and a strong will, and you have the heart to accept you as an apprentice, so you can get started without exams, are you willing?"

Cao Meng was stunned and stared at the south wind with wide eyes.

Nanfeng was overjoyed, "Ask if you would like to." ”

"Do you think I'm willing?" Cao Meng was still confused.

Seeing that he was confused, Nanfeng replied on his behalf, "Thank you, Daoist, he is willing." ”

"Come with me. The young Taoist waved at Cao.

Cao Meng looked at Nanfeng, then at the young Taoist, but did not move.

Nanfeng hurriedly pushed him, "Hurry up, I'll go over and gather too." ”

"That's it, I'm going. Cao Meng didn't fully react until this moment, and went with the young Taoist in confusion.

At this time, the counting of people was almost over, and Nanfeng ran over to show the number plate and stood at the end.

After counting the number of people, Tiangangzi, the head of the palace, stepped forward to speak, which roughly means that congratulations to everyone for passing the preliminary examination, and then wishing everyone to pass the re-examination to worship the mountain gate, and even if they can't pass the re-examination, Taiqingzong will also identify everyone as refuge laymen, and they can recommend to all departments of the imperial court to seek work for everyone.

When Tiangangzi spoke, Tianchengzi and Tianlianzi were standing on the left and right, and when Nanfeng looked at Tianchengzi, Tianchengzi happened to be looking at him, but Tianchengzi did not exchange glances with him, but glanced at him and looked away.

Nanfeng naturally knew why Tianchengzi looked at him, he had previously pulled Cao Meng to prevent Cao Meng from leaving, and he didn't go to the gathering, undoubtedly taking revenge on Tianchengzi, and the wordless meaning was "You know that I want to find a companion, and you still brush him down, Nacheng, I won't go." ”

Tianchengzi personally accepted Cao Meng in desperation, what kind of temperament and tenacity are just words, to put it bluntly, it is to give him face.

may be in a hurry to go back to rest, Tiangangzi didn't say a few words, and after speaking, someone led everyone up the stairs up the mountain.

The south wind walked at the end, tilting his head to look east when he walked, at this time Tianchengzi was talking to Cao Meng, Cao Meng was uncertain, muddy, Tianchengzi frowned, and sighed again and again.

Seeing this situation, Nanfeng began to sympathize with Tianchengzi again, in all fairness, Cao Meng may not be suitable to be a Taoist, he failed in the eight attempts, it is estimated that the Taiqing Sect has not yet seen this situation, such a stupid and blunt wonder let Tianchengzi accept it, don't expect him to become famous, if he does not fall into the master's reputation in the future, Tianchengzi will burn high incense.

Cao Meng saw Nanfeng at a glance and raised his hand to greet him, Tianchengzi was furious, pulled his hand aside, and reprimanded him in a deep voice.

Nanfeng bowed his head and went up the mountain, and did not give Cao Meng a response, Tianchengzi should have seen that he wanted to take Cao Meng, the reason why he was not allowed was because Cao Meng was a celebrity who failed the eight tests, many people in Taiqing Sect knew him, and they laughed at him more on weekdays, and if he was too close to Cao Meng, it was easy to attract the attention of others.

And Tianchengzi accepted Cao Meng, in addition to selling his face, mainly to get this celebrity away from him, only he was left, and the retest could be operated secretly without showing any traces.

This stone steps road south wind is the first time to walk, before he has been walking the path, walking in front of most of the students at this time with a happy face, the pressure of the first test is the greatest, almost one in a thousand, but the pressure of the retest is much smaller, choose one of two, at most choose one of three, the hope of getting started is great.

Different from everyone's joy, Nanfeng's heart is very heavy, the undercurrent of Taiqing Mountain is surging, the former head of the sect was killed, Tian Yuanzi was expelled, the originally selected successor died violently, and the death of Xuanzhen Shi's uncle, all of which show that the internal fighting of Taiqing Sect is extremely tragic, if it were not for the purpose of tracking down the real murderer and returning Tian Yuanzi to innocence, he would have escaped from this complex and dangerous environment a long time ago.

However, there are not only these troubles in the world, there will always be some happy things, Zheng Xian, who was wearing a green shirt and white dress, also passed the preliminary examination and walked not far ahead.

Nanfeng is not afraid of things and is not afraid of stage fright, he will go up to say hello if he likes, Zheng Xian is also very easy-going, and did not refuse to talk to Nanfeng Q&A from thousands of miles away.

Not far up, there was a cold snort from the side of the road, Nanfeng tilted his head when he heard the sound, and saw several young Dao Guru standing on the side of the road, one of which was Lingyanzi who had beaten him that day.

"A disciple is a disciple after all. Lingyanzi snorted coldly again.

Ling Yanzi's voice was not small, and many students heard it, Zheng Xian turned her head in surprise and looked at the south wind suspiciously.

If there was no Zheng Xian by his side, Nanfeng would definitely scold Ling Yanzi, but he was worried about leaving a bad impression on Zheng Xian at this time, so he ignored Ling Yanzi, lowered his head and went upstairs, and did not answer.

"No shame. Lingyanzi said again.

Nanfeng couldn't help it, to be exact, he didn't want to endure it, even if he didn't open his mouth, Zheng Xian would think that he was a bad person, and before he could sprout, he let Lingyanzi, a donkey who came from nowhere, trample on it.

"Lingyanzi, why do you scold me, you?" Nanfeng was angry but never lost his mind, "I was originally a miscellaneous servant in the secular palace, and it was my ministry to go to the lower hall to dump the toilet, and I also knocked on the door before entering the door, and you agreed to let me in, how do I know that you are not in good clothes, and the crime is not on me, you chased me to Xishan and beat me, and I was just bleeding on the head, and today I blocked the road and scolded me, you made it clear to me today, why did you scold me?"

Ling Yanzi didn't expect that Nanfeng would turn his face in public, and when he scolded, he didn't scold indiscriminately, but clearly stated the facts, and put all the responsibility for the whole thing on her head.

"What's the commotion, then?" the Taoist who led the way asked, turning around.

At this time, all the students, including Tiangangzi and others who walked in front, also turned their heads, Nanfeng did not panic, did not answer the question of the person who led the way, but took advantage of the situation to pursue, "You beat me that day, just the thorn vine broke three, and I didn't stop beating me all over the body, and I hit my head with bluestone, and I was almost a corpse in the wilderness, and I didn't report it afterwards because you are the Taiqing Sect awarded the Taoist aunt, and I am just a miscellaneous servant of the secular palace, and there is a difference between dignity and inferiority." But you deceive people too much, I bow my head and hurry, you block the road and scold me, I can't control so much today, even if I am driven down the mountain by your private revenge, I will seek justice from you. You say, why do you scold me for being a disciple, and what humiliating things have I done?"

Ling Yanzi would have thought that things would come to such a situation, facing Nanfeng's eager and coherent questioning, he could only be powerless to defend, "How could I have broken the three thorn vines." ”

Nanfeng was secretly happy when he heard this, he deliberately said more, and Lingyanzi argued and also confirmed the matter of beating him, "It's not three or two, I don't believe that Taiqing Sect has no justice, just because I don't want to be humiliated, I will be rejected from the retest, you say, what I just said is false?"

Quarreling is the basic skill of calling Hanako, Nanfeng has been arguing since he was a child, Lingyanzi is his opponent, I thought it was a soft persimmon, but I found out that it was a big hedgehog when I caught it, and I didn't throw it or catch it, "Did you put the cauliflower snake in my futon, did you pour urine into the teapot?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.

Nanfeng bravely admitted, "Yes, I did it! But the cauliflower snake is not poisonous, and urine is not poisonous, unlike you, who beat people to death." ”

Seeing the two quarreling, the Taoist who led the way hurriedly ran back to stop it, and at the same time, some Taoists also heard the sound and came from all over to check what was going on.

"Lingyanzi, don't retreat yet!" Tianchengzi rushed over from below.

"Yes. Lingyanzi's face flushed, and he bowed his head and retreated.

"On such occasions, what kind of etiquette is it to be so polite?" Tianchengzi's face was very ugly.

"Senior brother, don't blame the juniors, this young man has a lot of backbone, so don't let him take the retest and record it in my name. Tiangangzi's voice came from above.

"Hahahaha, Senior Brother Tiangang, this young man has a temper with me, let him go with me!" Tianqizi stepped out of the path on the west side.

"The two senior brothers don't want to fight, I really heard it from two miles away, the three disciples in charge of the teaching, count him as a ......"
