Early the next morning, after breakfast, the father and son followed the guidance of the map to the south square of Xuanyin City, which covers an area of about five or six hundred acres, and is said to accommodate 200,000 people and is slightly spacious, and is the largest free trading place in Xuanyin City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The South Square is very deserted on weekdays, with only more than 100 permanent stalls, and it will only be lively when major events are held in Xuanyin City.

Zhao Lengfei followed his father to the south square, and looked in from the periphery, there were rows of stalls in the square, and these stalls sold a variety of goods, many of which he had never seen. Even when he was on Earth, Zhao Lengfei had never seen such a large-scale trading market, countless men and women shuttling between the stalls, slightly crowded between people, I really don't know how many people gathered in the South Square at this moment.

Most of the things sold here are for low-level cultivators and ordinary people, and it is difficult to find high-quality products, Zhao Qingshuang knew this, so he didn't make any stops between these stalls, and led his son straight to the center of the square.

In the center of the square is the place where the Xuanshuimen apprentice assessment and registration is placed, there are two rows of long tables, there are about fifty or sixty long tables in the front row, dozens of Xuanshuimen disciples wearing silver robes and jade belts around their waists sit behind the tables, and there is a row of people standing in front of each table, ranging from a few people to dozens of people, here is the place to review the origin, age and cultivation qualifications of the applicants, just the audit, it brushed off nine-tenths of the applicants.

There are only seven or eight long tables in the back row, and there is also a Xuanshuimen disciple sitting behind the table, the number of people queuing up in front of these tables is small, there are only three or five people, here is the place to register after passing the audit, and the registration is to sign the life and death certificate, many applicants hesitate after seeing the life and death situation, and even give up.

In addition, hundreds of young Xuanshuimen disciples wearing gray or white power suits and buns of Dao Tong stood in dispersion, keeping people out of the long table for a hundred steps, and those who wanted to sign up were either led to a queue at a long table somewhere or persuaded to leave the circle after talking to those who were wearing power suits.

Zhao Lengfei followed his father with great effort to squeeze to the front of the crowd, as soon as the father and son stepped into the scope of their management, they were immediately greeted by a white-clothed Xuanshuimen disciple, he glanced at Zhao Qingshuang, his eyes showed a trace of surprise, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "This gentleman is here to sign up?" I don't know if it's a youth or a teenager? As he spoke, the white-clothed disciple looked at Zhao Lengfei who was standing beside Zhao Qingshuang again, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

"It's my son who wants to sign up for the juvenile assessment." Zhao Qingshuang replied.

"Yes, sir, please come with me." After the white-clothed disciple finished speaking, he led the two of them towards the long table in the middle where no one was queuing in front.

The long table was significantly wider than the others, and there was not a stool behind the table, but a cloud case made of jade, which looked very conspicuous, and there was an old man meditating with his eyes closed.

Zhao Lengfei saw that there was a faint light on the surface of the old man's clothes, which was far more conspicuous than the clothes of other Xuanshui Sect disciples, and there were two white-clothed disciples standing behind the old man, he knew that the identity of this old man was extraordinary, and ordinary people would definitely not be brought here, but he didn't know what the white-clothed disciple meant by bringing him here, and secretly wondered if it would have something to do with his father's identity.

"Elder Wang, there is a gentleman here who has brought his son to sign up for the junior disciple entrance examination, please ask Elder Wang to review his qualifications." The white-clothed disciple bowed to the old man who was meditating with his eyes closed on the cloud case, and said respectfully.

"Didn't I tell you that ordinary people are left to other deacons to deal with, and no matter how busy they are, don't bother me? Could it be that there is something special about this person? The old man who was known as Elder Wang on the cloud case heard this, and he asked without opening his eyes.

"Elder Qiqi, this gentleman is indeed a little special, he seems to have a true yuan mana fluctuation in his body, but the disciple's skill is shallow, and he can't be sure of his cultivation, so he brought him over to ask the elder to review it."

"Oh? This way, the people of the Xiuzhen family should know that they should sign up separately, is it a casual cultivation? Okay, people stay here, you go and do your business. Elder Wang still didn't open his eyes when he spoke.

"Yes, the disciple is retiring." The white-clothed disciple bowed and bowed slowly.

Zhao Lengfei looked at this Elder Wang carefully, and saw that although he had white hair and white beard, there were no wrinkles on his face, and his face was extremely round, saying that his skin was like white jade, and it was not an exaggeration to say that his skin was like white jade, and he was better than a baby.

Zhao Lengfei and his father stood quietly in front of the table and waited, and after more than a minute of touching, Elder Wang suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of essence light shot out of his eyes like substance, and Zhao Lengfei was startled when he saw it.

But this was only a matter of an instant, and the next moment, half of Elder Wang's eyelids drooped again, as if he hadn't woken up yet, he half-squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Lengfei and his son who were standing in front of the case, and pointed at Zhao Lengfei with his hand and said, "Is this kid going to sign up, is there a letter of recommendation?" Bring. ”

"Elder, please take a look." Zhao Qingshuang said, handing the letter of recommendation he had written to Elder Wang with both hands.

Elder Wang opened the letter of recommendation, shook the letter inside, and looked at it casually, he only looked at it twice, his eyes opened suddenly, and then his face was solemn, and he no longer had the half-asleep demeanor just now.

"You are that Yingbei Zhao Qingshuang? did not shy away from writing a letter of recommendation to his son, but it was the first time that the old man encountered it. After reading the letter of recommendation, Elder Wang gently folded it in half, put it on the table and said slowly.

"It is the younger generation, the dog has long admired the name of your family, and sincerely wants to come to apprentice, but the younger generation is from a remote place, and he knows little powerful people, so he can only recommend himself as a dog, so that the elder laughs, and hopes for the elder Haihan." Zhao Qingshuang replied respectfully.

"I don't have any intention of blaming you, you don't have to be so modest, your reputation The old man has heard about it for a long time, this child looks a lot taller than his peers, but the old man can trust you, the date of birth mentioned in the letter must be true, I haven't had your handwriting for so many years, I will keep this letter for collection, don't you mind?"

"Thanks to the love of the elders, the younger generation is flattered, how can there be any objections." Zhao Qingshuang looked a little excited and said.

"That's good, huh...... Zhao Lengfei, the name is not outstanding, I heard that your son had a vision the day before he was born, it was snowing and shining, and he was born with a pearl in his mouth, I don't know if this is true or false? Elder Wang asked with some curiosity.

Zhao Qingshuang expected to be asked about this, and he had already prepared a statement in his heart, he said: "The vision of the sky is a rumor, the day of the dog's birth happened to be cloudy, the delivery room was very dim, but the younger generation was negligent, the preparation of few fire candles, insufficient for the use of lighting in the delivery room, the younger generation and relatives and friends in the courtyard to light a few fires, do not want to make a fire firewood is not enough, helpless to burn a few pieces of camphor wood furniture.

Just because the camphor wood flame is tall and bright, and after burning, some white ash is generated in the smoke and scattered in the town, and there are people in the town who do not know to see that there is light in the courtyard of the younger generation, and there are white things falling in the sky, and they feel very strange, so they guess the reason, and this matter is falsely spread, and finally it is said to be a vision of heaven.

As for the dog was born with pearl jade in the mouth is nonsense, the dog was born on the day, his mother will be the family heirloom jade stuffed into his arms, in order to be auspicious, at night when the nurse helps to feed, see the dog in the arms of the jade, then ask his mother where the jade came from, the mother smiled and said: in the womb, this joke was finally rumored out, so that the predecessors laughed. ”

"Hahaha......" Elder Wang laughed when he heard Zhao Qingshuang's words, he patted his hand on the cloud case and said: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, the truth of the matter is like this, the old man understands what hearing is today." ”

After laughing for a while, Elder Wang said again: "Yuan Wu was born in May of the seventh year, and he will only be eleven years old in two months, so it is quite dangerous to let such a young child come to participate in the apprenticeship assessment, are you sure?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, the juniors naturally understand this, no matter what the consequences are, the juniors will bear their own responsibility."

"That's good, little guy, give me your hand and let me see how your cultivation qualifications are?"

Zhao Lengfei stepped forward and stretched out his right hand and put it on the table, and Elder Wang gently put his three fingers on Zhao Lengfei's wrist as if he were checking the pulse, and began to sense his qualifications.

As soon as Zhao Lengfei's wrist made contact with Elder Wang's fingers, the muscles of his whole body were tight, Elder Wang's fingers were as hot as fire tongs, Zhao Lengfei's right hand almost instinctively pulled back, and after a few seconds, the pain in his wrist continued to worsen, almost reaching the limit of his patience, but Zhao Lengfei's face was still calm, and he didn't show anything unusual, he hid his other hand behind his back, and clenched his fist tightly, wanting to resist the pain in his right wrist.

"Huh?" Elder Wang was surprised to see that Zhao Lengfei didn't cry out in pain or break free, and after a while, he let go of Zhao Lengfei's wrist, sighed slightly, and said: "Hey, I didn't expect this son's qualifications to be so poor, if it was handed over to other deacons for review, he would really not be allowed to pass this registration, but I think he has a good heart, so I will give you this face, even if he is qualified, you can go to register." ”

"Hail, thank you, Elder." Zhao Qingshuang seemed to have heard of Elder Wang's first half of the sentence, and his face was happy, and he hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank you Elder for your concern." Zhao Lengfei bowed to Elder Wang in a proper manner, but in fact, he was looking down to see if there was anything unusual in his wrist, he was very confused in his heart, is his qualification really so bad, his father seems to have known about it for a long time, no wonder his father has never told him about his qualifications.

Elder Wang grabbed the pile of cyan jade plaques on the table, one of the jade plaques flew to his palm, he grabbed the jade plaque with his left hand, his lips moved slightly, and his mouth was chanting, and at the same time, the index finger of his right hand counted the jade plaques.

Elder Wang's voice was very subtle and fast, and Zhao Lengfei couldn't hear what he said clearly, but faintly saw a trace of white light on his fingertips continuously sinking into the jade plate.

After Elder Wang finished all this, he handed the jade plate to Zhao Qingshuang and said, "Take this identity card and go to the back to register." Seeing that Zhao Qingshuang grabbed the jade plaque in his hand without hesitation, he said in a low voice: "If the old man needs calligraphy and painting to decorate the cave mansion, maybe he will ask you for help, I will write down the name of this child first, and the old man will take care of it when he is assessed." ”

"Qingshuang thanked the elder in advance, if the elder is in need of him in the future, the junior will definitely do his best." After Zhao Qingshuang thanked Elder Wang again, he led his son to the registration office at the back to register.

Elder Wang stroked his beard and said in a voice that only he could hear clearly: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, I haven't seen this Zhao Qingshuang for more than ten years, he has reached such a realm, it's really a pity that he didn't let him worship my Xuanshui Gate back then, could it be that he helped other cultivators find the things in the ancient cultivation cave mansion, and obtained many benefits, so that he has the current cultivation, shouldn't it, in that case, he should take his son to find the other party, how could he come here?"

It's a pity that the child's qualifications are destined to not go far on the road of cultivation, Zhao Qingshuang should know this very well, in this case, he also brought his son to learn from him, then he has a way to let his son go further on the road of cultivation, could it be that that kind of thing ended up in his hands, or he had another harvest in the ancient Xiudong Mansion, if he really got any benefits in the ancient Xiudong Mansion, he would definitely pass it on to his son, fortunately, his son came to this sect to apprentice, otherwise he would be accepted by other sects, That's a big loss. ”

Elder Wang's wide silver sleeved robe flicked lightly on the table, and the letter of recommendation on the table disappeared, and he sank his hands into his sleeves and meditated with his eyes closed again.

The registration office is thirty or forty steps behind the qualification examination office, where there are many fewer people than the audit office, there are only seven or eight tables, and behind each table there is also a Xuanshuimen disciple, and there is a big sign next to it, which clearly states the danger of accepting apprentices.

Except for the elegant-looking middle-aged man in the middle, there were several applicants who had passed the age and qualification review at the table of the other Xuanshuimen disciples who were in charge of registration, and they were either talking to the Xuanshuimen disciples behind the table or reading the things written on the signs.

Zhao Lengfei can see from the gap between the number of people here and the audit office that 90% of the applicants have been eliminated by the review of age and qualifications alone, and they all say how cruel this apprentice assessment is, and it is true.

Just now, Zhao Lengfei was still lamenting his poor qualifications, and now he sees countless people with the same qualifications as himself who have been rejected for registration, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to participate in the assessment, and he feels that he is very lucky, and it is indeed different to have a good father.

Looking at the elegant middle-aged man's dress, he knew that he was different from the other disciples in charge of registration, although his clothes were not as eye-catching as those of Elder Wang, but they were more conspicuous than others, no wonder there were several people waiting in line in front of the others, but none of them came to him.

Zhao Qingshuang glanced at what was written on the sign, and without hesitation, she walked towards the middle-aged man who had no one to wait for.

The elegant middle-aged man saw Zhao Qingshuang come to his desk, and his expression was quite disdainful at first, and he was about to open his mouth to tell Zhao Qingshuang that he was only responsible for registering some specific people, when his eyes inadvertently glanced at Zhao Qingshuang, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he was completely arrogant, he hurriedly got up and said: "This friend, but you brought someone to register?" Could it be that the ID card in your hand was made by Elder Wang himself, can you give you a look at your skills? ”

"This card was given by an elder surnamed Wang of your family, and Consul Lao checked it." Zhao Qingshuang said and handed over the identity card.

"Is it really made by Elder Wang himself?" The elegant middle-aged man was actually just guessing, he hurriedly took the jade card, carefully identified it, and confirmed that the identity card was indeed made by Elder Wang himself, his expression changed again, and he said very enthusiastically: "Yes, it is the identity card made by Elder Wang of this sect himself, which can make Elder Wang attach so much importance to it, it seems that this young man who participated in the assessment is not simple, the registration is easy to say, Cheng will help you handle it immediately." ”

In a few moments, Consul Cheng completed the registration, signing of the life and death certificate and the payment of fees for Zhao Lengfei to participate in the apprenticeship assessment and selection, and he returned the identity card to Zhao Qingshuang, and informed Zhao Qingshuang in detail of the specific time, place and some precautions for the assessment.

After the registration was completed, Zhao Qingshuang did not stay in this south square for long, and took his son back to the inn directly.
