Early this morning, I arrived at the gate of the orphanage at the appointed time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At this time, Grandpa Chen and two young people in their twenties were already waiting for him at the door. I got out of the cab and trotted over, and the three of us said hello.

Grandpa Chen smiled and said, "Eleven, come, let me introduce you to two senior brothers, this one is your senior brother Gaofeng, and his master is a high sword master." This one who is a little stronger is your Senior Brother Tian Guang, and his master is Master Tian Qidao. Both of them had spent time in our orphanage, but you weren't too young when they were adopted, so you hadn't seen them. ”

I gave a fist salute to the two of them and said, "Hello two senior brothers, I am Zhang Shiyi, and my master is Zhang Zhengjiu Daoist. ”

The two also returned the salute, and after greeting for a while, Grandpa Chen took us to the car.

According to Grandpa Chen, this time the exam was held in a mountainous area in the northwest, so the three of them had to take a plane to Lanzhou first, and then take a helicopter from Lanzhou to their destination. Grandpa Chen sent the three of us to the airport, explained and went back. There is no need to say anything along the way.

Gao Feng and Tian Guang are both twenty-one years old, they have known each other in the orphanage when they were children, and they are relatively kind, and they take care of those who go out for the first time on the road. I learned from my conversation with them that Gao Feng and Tian Guang were both studying at universities in the north, and this time they returned to Sancai City in the south because they had to take exams.

After getting off the plane, I took a helicopter to a military camp and then got into an SUV. After two days of tossing, the three of us finally arrived at a building that resembled a military base in a mountainous area in the northwest, with a sign that read, Northwest Research Institute of the Taoist Association. After taking out their identification and passing through the guards, the three entered the base.

Gao Feng sighed: "Wow, I didn't expect there to be such a large building complex in the ravine." ”

Tian Guang also said: "Listen to my master, this research institute is built according to the standards of a military base, and there are more than ten floors of buildings underground, as well as air-raid shelters. ”

I was surprised and said, "Senior Brother Tian, has your master been here?" ”

Tian Guang nodded and said, "Well, my master came a few years ago when he was on a mission, and before he came out this time, he told me that if he went to the northwest for the exam, eighty percent would be here." ”

Gao Feng also said: "Well, there are seven or eight bases like this in the country, and my master has been to the northeast and southwest. ”

I was about to continue asking when I saw a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe come over and say, "The three of you are here to participate in the Taoist promotion assessment." ”

Since I didn't know the name and rank of the other party, I politely asked, "We are from Sancai City, my name is Zhang Shiyi, and these two are Gao Feng and Tian Guang." ”

The middle-aged man also returned the salute and said, "I am Daoist Song Li, the receptionist this time." Everyone else has arrived, so come with me. ”

Seeing that Song Li didn't seem to be indifferent, I asked, "Daoist Song, how many people are coming to the exam this time?" ”

Song Li led the way in front and didn't look back, saying: "There are 121 people this time, and there are five more in the test area this time, and there are about seven or eight hundred people in the whole country." ”

I nodded, didn't continue to ask, but looked around carefully. The buildings in the institute are both ancient and modern, including ancient Taoist buildings and modern buildings. From time to time, soldiers with machine guns passed by, apparently on patrol. In this way, this place should be considered a secret, and there will be soldiers guarding it.

After a short time, Song Li led the three of us into a large classroom. There were already a lot of people sitting in the classroom at this time, and when Song Li came in, the teacher, who was originally a little noisy, suddenly quieted down. Song Li pointed to the empty seat in the back row and said, "Go and sit down there, and then I will tell you about the specific arrangements for the exam." ”

The three of us found a place to sit down, and when we looked around, most of them looked like young people in their twenties, and there was actually a woman. Women are relatively rare in the Daomen, but there are also several sects that accept female disciples, such as the Buyi Sect and the Lai Sect, which specialize in numerology. There are also exorcist dragons who only accept female apprentices. I don't know which sect this woman is.

Just when I was confused, Song Li turned on the microphone and said, "First of all, welcome to the Northwest Research Institute to participate in this Taoist promotion assessment. The assessment lasts for seven days. The town department, the hexagram department and the miscellaneous department are examined separately. (Just as the college entrance examination is divided into arts and sciences, Taoism is also divided into three types: town science, hexagram department and miscellaneous department, town department, which is a general term for the Taoist art that can subdue demons and subdue demons in the book, and the hexagram department is a general term for Taoist techniques such as Kanyu and physiognomy, and miscellaneous subjects are the general name for some relatively unpopular Taoist techniques such as Danding and health preservation.) In our classroom, we all take the town department, and the students who take the hexagram department are in another teacher, so I'll just talk about the town department.

Saying this, the only girl suddenly stood up and walked straight to Song Li. Song Li was also inexplicable, the girl didn't seem to be able to speak, and she had been playing sign language with Song Li. Song Li was confused, and the girl found something in her bag.

At this time, an old man walked in and said, "Xiaoxin, why did you come here, didn't I let you go to classroom 201, how did you run to teacher 102." Song Li saw the old man and saluted respectfully: "Hello, Master Butian." ”

The old man known as Bu Tianshi ignored Song Li, pulled the girl and walked out of the door, saying as he walked: "I said to bring you here, you are not happy, you went to the wrong door." ”

Seeing the old man go away, the classroom suddenly became lively, and people at the level of Heavenly Master were not said to be able to meet each other, so everyone naturally had a heated discussion.

Song Li patted the table and coughed lightly. Seeing that everyone was quiet for a moment, he continued: "Well, just now I talked about the exam subjects, this time there are three subjects in the town science exam, and the three subjects in the town department are: yang energy test, charm test and the final actual combat test. Each exam is followed by a day off. The exam lasts for five days, and the remaining two days are exchange meetings, after all, they are all like-minded people, and they may perform tasks together in the future, so the final exchange meeting is for you to communicate with each other. Next, you will be issued a room card, and after receiving the room card, you can go back to your room to rest, and you can move around freely in the accommodation area at night. Meet here tomorrow morning at seven o'clock. ”

Since we were sitting at the end, Tian Guanghe and Gao Feng were not in a hurry to get up and line up to get the room card. I was the youngest, so I naturally sat with them.

Tian Guang said with some sighs: "The one just now, it must have been Bu Yiyan." The head of the Cloth Cloth Sect. ”

Gao Feng nodded and said, "Yes, I heard my master say that if you want to see Master Butian, you usually have to make an appointment, and you can't see it every year and a half." ”
