Chapter 278: Preparing to Participate in the Selection Competition
"Master, when will the selection contest of the China Taoist Association be held" I stood up and asked Master.
"I registered online a year ago, and the first written test will be held in Beijing on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after the new year, and the written test should be nothing to you," Master muttered to me
"What are the written exams?" I asked Master as I boiled water.
"In the past, the content of the written test was all Taoist common sense, but now the content of the written test is all high school questions, including mathematics, science, chemistry, English or something, I can't figure it out, what are we doing when we are Taoist priests" The master said to me with a puzzled face, Master doesn't know, how can I know, I am also very confused, I am thinking in my heart that ghost hunting has nothing to do with mathematics, physics, chemistry, and English.
"Second senior brother, you don't understand, in the past, our country's conscription was enough as long as the age was enough, but now the requirements for conscription are much higher than before, and if you want to be a soldier, you must be healthy and have a high school degree or above. The higher a person's cultural level, the higher the quality of this person, and China's Taoism is in line with the world, so our Chinese Taoist Association's requirements for selecting people are getting higher and higher, which is understandable" The little aunt explained to the master on the side, after the master listened to the words of the little aunt, he felt that the little aunt said a lot, the society is progressing, and if Taoism maintains the old tradition and stops, it will die sooner or later.
"The first two days were the fifteenth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, and now there are two months left before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so it seems that this time is a bit short," I muttered to myself.
"Why do you really think it's one thing, it's about participation, as long as you don't take one and come back," Master said to me with a sneering face.
"Second Senior Brother, how can you say that about your apprentice" The little senior aunt sat on the side and couldn't listen to it.
"Yes, Master, how can you say that about your own apprentice, you should look at me," I said to Master with a pulled face.
"It's not that I don't look at you, it's that you don't have self-knowledge, do you know how powerful those young Taoist disciples are?" Master smiled and asked me.
"Aren't they all two eyes, one nose and one mouth! Are they still three-headed and six-armed?" I said, looking at Master.
"They can draw high-level spells by anyone they call out, can you draw them?" Master asked me.
"I can't," I replied to Master with a blushing face and shaking my head.
"Not only are people very powerful, but they are also very superb in swordsmanship, do you know how to use a sword now?" Master asked me again.
"No," I replied to Master, bowing my head.
"Isn't that enough! You say how you let me look at you, you can say it yourself" Master said to me in a speechless manner.
"Senior nephew, don't listen to your master hitting you there, little aunt raised her hands to support you, even if you fail, it's nothing, if you don't try bravely, you will never progress" Little aunt clenched her fists and encouraged me.
"Thank you for your encouragement, I will work hard," I thanked with a grateful look at my little aunt.
"When the time comes, if someone asks you where your master is, you will say that you don't have a teacher, and you have learned Maoshan Taoism, don't say that I am your master, I am afraid of being embarrassed" The master hit me on the side.
"Senior brother, you are enough, if you don't encourage Liu Shou, it's just that, why are you still hitting him! You have a virtue with the master, his old man," the little aunt said to the master angrily.
"Little Auntie, what you said is good," I walked up to Junior Aunt, poured a cup of tea for Junior Aunt, and said with a smile.
"This kid is like this, he learns to run before he learns to walk, he will only fall more painfully, this kid is completely asking for his own hardships," the master looked at me and said to the little aunt.
"Liu Shou, I'm optimistic about you, you can show your master a ranking, so that he can be impressed by you," the little aunt looked at me and said.
"Little Auntie, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you," I whispered to Little Auntie.
"See, I don't have any confidence, do you still blame me for him?" Master laughed on the side.
"Don't be afraid, the little aunt will always support you, young people should have their own dreams, what is the point of living without dreams," the little aunt said to me.
"People who go abroad are better than people who have never been abroad," the master looked at the little aunt and gave a thumbs up and smiled.
"I'm not talking in the vernacular, what I'm saying is the truth, and the thing I don't regret the most is that I left China and went to the United States, people can't always stare at what is in front of them, they must look at the place, only in this way can we progress, and society can progress," the little aunt put her hand on her chest and said to the master.
"You have been brainwashed by foreigners, I won't argue with you two anymore, I'm going upstairs to rest" After the master said this, he walked upstairs.
"Little Auntie, I feel that Master seems to have aged a lot lately," I sat next to Little Aunt and said as Master walked upstairs.
"When your master was young, he was an unrestrained person, he didn't listen to anyone except Master's words, and he liked to do everything his own way. When we were young, your master told me such a sentence, he said that he would never accept apprentices in his life, because he felt that accepting apprentices was a very worrying thing, it was better to live a relaxed life by himself, when I came back from the United States and knew that he accepted you as an apprentice, I was really surprised, and then I also knew in my heart that my senior brother accepted you as an apprentice in order to continue our incense, don't give it away in his hands. Your master saved you from the hands of black and white impermanence last time, but it was **** a lot of heart. Nephew, I know that you are a polite, knowledgeable, affectionate and righteous child, but I hope that when you do something in the future, you must first use your brain to think about it, and do things according to your ability, let's take the incident that you secretly went with us last night, you secretly went with us to worry about us, but also to help us, but have you ever thought that the three of us might escape easily without you, and you will only distract us all, after all, your strength is too weak, and the four of us luckily didn't have an accident last night, If we can't escape because of you, even if you are a ghost, you will blame yourself for the rest of your life," the little aunt said to me patiently.
"Little Auntie, you're right, I don't think about it and I'm very impulsive," I nodded to Little Aunt and replied.
"Liu Shou There is no perfect person in this world, there will be shortcomings in life, there are shortcomings are not afraid, what I am afraid of is knowing that I have shortcomings but not correcting them, this is called obsession" The little aunt continued to educate me.
"Little Auntie, I will correct my shortcomings and will not let you down," I promised to Little Aunt with a serious face.
"Okay, this topic is too heavy, let's not talk about this, let's talk about your participation in the selection competition" The little aunt changed the topic again.
"If I really take the math, physics, chemistry, and English, I don't have to worry at all, these are not too difficult for me, Master just said that those young Taoist disciples can draw advanced charms if they call them out, and I have just mastered intermediate charms, and advanced charms are a difficult threshold for me to break through" I explained to my little aunt the problems I am facing now.
"What you lack most in your body now is Taoist True Qi, even if you are talented, you will not be able to raise the Taoist True Qi in your body to the realm of being able to draw high-level charms in two months," the little aunt muttered to me.
"I will devote myself to cultivating Taoist True Qi in these two months, and wherever I go, it counts," I said to my little aunt.
"You have a good mentality, I believe that you will definitely get the ranking," said the little aunt patted me on the shoulder, and the whole world valued me so much.
When I talked to my little aunt until almost noon, Jack called her and asked her to go back to the company to help him deal with things, and my little aunt drove away before she had time to say goodbye to my master.
When I bought the food and went upstairs to ask the master to eat, the master was lying on the bed and was sleeping, and I was embarrassed to call him when I saw that the master was sleeping so soundly, I wanted him to continue to sleep, after all, the master was so tired for the past two days, and when he woke up, I would go out and buy him some hot food.
