Chapter 20: Accidents, Masters
As the quota of outer disciples was completed, as many as half of the people had left.
Gu Dao also shook his head: "Let's go." β
He was no longer hopeful, but Zhong Cang held on to it.
"Wait."
ββ¦β¦β
Zhong Cang's obstruction made Gu Dao a little speechless:
"Your talent is indeed good, but you don't think that you can be selected as an inner disciple based on these alone, right?"
Zhong Cang did not refute this question, but nodded:
"It's really not very likely, but what if, people always have dreams."
While the two were talking, the deacon of the palace had already read the name of the disciple of the inner door, and this time, although the number was small, the deacon of the palace read it more slowly.
The main thing is that every time I think of someone, the deacon of the palace will smile and talk to him.
Soon, five names were announced, and there was still no Zhong Cang inside.
The result made his fists clench, and his face ...... It's also incredible.
Although he said what if, Zhong Cang was still very confident in his talent.
That's why he finds it incredible:
"Why did you lose the election?"
"This selection for the county lord training team, what is important is potential, the master-level talisman is enough to reveal my potential, I don't believe that the thirteen outer disciples have all reached the stage of meaning...... Could it be that I didn't see it. β
After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Cang felt that his guess was nine out of ten.
In his previous life, he had heard that when some large companies recruit people, they will first look at the academic qualifications, and if the academic qualifications are not up to standard, they will not look at the content at all.
This screening is likely to be the same as the method in the previous life.
ββThat is, the talismans below the mortal stage are selected by the servants and all of them are thrown away, so that Zhong Cang's master-level talismans will not be in the hands of real masters, and his defeat is reasonable.
Thinking of this, Zhong Cang gritted his teeth, took the three talismans he had just drawn, and walked to the deacon of the palace.
"My lord, these are the three talismans I just drawn, can you please show them to the county lord?"
Zhong Cang was very short of resources, and he didn't want to give up this opportunity to turn over.
In the face of Zhong Cang's request, the deacon frowned, but before he could speak, among the thirteen outer disciples, someone snorted coldly: "Bold, you are questioning the unfairness of the selection of the county lord!" β
"No, I ......"
"Hmph, His Royal Highness the County Lord's selection is absolutely correct."
"."
"King Kong, God, Destroy Evil...... These three low-level talismans, you are embarrassed to show them to the county lord. β
"Poof, it's good for you to take a King Kong Powerful Talisman, these three are not afraid of staining His Highness's eyes......"
When one person opened his mouth to reprimand, Zhong Cang thought that the person had an opinion about him, but as three or four people hurriedly reprimanded and drove away, Zhong Cang slowly understood the trickiness.
"They're afraid I'll drop the spot."
From the fact that the outer disciples all came to participate in the assessment, they knew that there were many benefits to becoming the county master, Zhong Cang wanted it, and others also wanted it.
But this recruitment, as long as there are thirteen outer disciples and Zhong Cang is on the throne, there will be one less outer disciple who has determined the quota, and because of this, they don't want to make extraneous branches.
The common interests made them huddle together and reprimand.
There were even people who drove the guards to drive Zhong Cang away.
Knowing this, Zhong Cang no longer paid attention to them, but looked at the deacon.
He knew that he was the only one who could call the shots.
It's just that just when Zhong Cang was thinking like this, one of the five high-ranking outer disciples suddenly yawned: "Lord Deacon, this selection is by the third disciple of Qingxia Zhenren. β
Speaking of which, he laughed a little:
"Alas...... Our third senior brother was kind enough to help, but some people were not grateful, but questioned it, and I don't know how the third senior brother would feel when he found out. It's me anyway, and it's definitely going to be chilling. β
Unlike the outer disciples, the words of the inner disciples of the royal palace deacon cannot be ignored, not to mention, his words are also related to the true disciples.
Because of this, Zhong Cang's request died directly, and he almost put himself in.
Fortunately, Zhong Cang is not a civilian without the slightest power to resist.
Seeing that Zhong Cang was about to be questioned, the ancient Dao behind hurriedly ran over and said with a smile: "Hehe, my grandson is not sensible, how much he has offended......"
The cultivation of the ancient Dao is not high, and like Grandpa Zhong Cang, it is also in the mortal stage, but this already has lethality, just like a mortal with a gun.
Moreover, most of such cultivators have relatives and friends, and it is not that there is nothing wrong with offending them.
Because of this, the deacon of the royal palace did not cause much trouble.
"Let's go."
With a casual word, he beckoned the people to leave.
However, the inner disciple who spoke up reprimanded him when he left: "Take care of your grandson...... If you jump too much, it's easy to die early. β
"Yes, yes, I'll talk about his ......"
Away from Zhong Cang, a group of recruited doormen talked and laughed and went to meet the courtyard where the county lord was.
Zhong Cang looked up and could clearly see that most of the outer disciples were gathered around the inner disciple who spoke up, thanking him.
In the face of his colleagues, even subordinates, he no longer shows a dangerous smile, but greets them with good upbringing.
The laughter and laughter also made Zhong Cang's eyes narrow:
"Is it good to use me as a tool to build a good relationship with colleagues...... Zhou Zun, I remember this name. β
β¦β¦
After these people left, Zhong Cang thought that the ancient Dao would reprimand him.
But to his surprise, Gu Dao did not reprimand, but said in a heavy tone: "Zhong Cang, what you did is not wrong, the Great Dao needs to fight, this time you are just unlucky...... Remember, no matter what, don't give up on this motivation! β
Raised his head in astonishment, and glanced at Gu Dao several times, Zhong Cang was sure that his words were not ridicule, but advice from the heart.
ββ¦β¦ I know. β
Although there was no danger, but after this incident, Zhong Cang and the others were in a bad mood.
Wordlessly, he walked towards the outer door, and in the end, it was Gu Lingling who took the lead in comforting him.
"Brother Cang, don't be sad, missing you is the regret of the county lord, and she will regret it in the future."
Although he knew that this was comfort, these words also eased Zhong Cang's suppressed heart a little, and just as he was about to respond, a voice suddenly sounded from the side:
"The little girl has a good insight, and it is indeed her misfortune to miss your subordinate."
"Who!"
The sudden sound from the side startled the three of them, and Zhong Cang took out the paper figure for the first time and pinched it in his hand, and then looked towards the place where the sound came from, and then he found that a middle-aged man was standing on his side at some point.
At this moment, he was looking at the three talismans in his hand with great interest, and the talismans were the ones that Zhong Cang had just written.
"Shhh!!h
The things in his hands were stolen unconsciously, which made Zhong Cang's eyes widen, and he understood one thing more, the person in front of him was absolutely extraordinary.
Just when Zhong Cang was shocked, the man had already read all three talismans.
Then, he looked up and down and looked at Zhong Cang for a long time.
"Little one, how long have you been learning talismans?"
β1β¦β¦ 150 days. β
β¦β¦
