Chapter 33: I Can Go Up, I Can
It rained in the county. Just like Zhao Yan's confused mood at the moment, it came very suddenly. Lin Cheng knew that staying in the restaurant was not all about eating and drinking, when the raindrops just fell, he swept out a sword, and a sword curtain was raised, and before the third raindrop fell on the people, the rain curtain was completely intercepted.
Yao Guanhai gave a thumbs up. The two touched the wine cup and drank heartily. Jiang Wang was lying on his side in front of the window, looking very melancholy.
Watching the raindrops smash the sword curtain and picking up countless splashes of water is really a beautiful picture. The people who were protected by the sword curtain were also looking up, and it was a different scene, with children jumping and playing.
The monks stood from beginning to end, but they changed batch after batch, and in the eyes of the people, compared to the martial artists who fought heartily, although the monks came and went, they all stood face to face, and then they were replaced.
It's hard for them not to have an idea. I can do it too. The people of the county town did not regard the monks as immortals, after all, there was a county guard.
However, although the scope of the county examination hall is very large, there are also many examiners, and the county guard did not stop the people from watching, and the county examination is only a county examination, if the monks are allowed to let go of their hands and feet, the scope of destruction will definitely be wider than that of the martial arts.
Then you have to use a lot of magic weapons and talismans, which is obviously very profligate, and you can save some points. The examiner's angry rebuke attracted the attention of some people.
Because the Heavenly Master is special, whether it is studied or not, they are all taking exams together, and they will not participate in the Autumn Festival, although there is no clear provision that the elderly cannot come, but those who have the ability do not need to participate, and those who do not have the ability are a lot older, and it is not necessary.
Faced with the examiner's questioning, Zhao Yan quickly refuted it,
"Are you a Chinese cabbage? Ordinary celestial masters can only draw the talisman that maintains the tea, and no matter how high it is, it is only a few days, and the talisman that can stay for a long time, there are few celestial masters in the whole Sui who can draw it! ”
"Don't say that I didn't use the talisman, even if I did, I didn't break the ban, don't you just think that the talisman I drew is too high, if you want to question it, it's reasonable, what do you say with the talisman!" The examiner was speechless.
In the past, there were indeed very few elderly people, after all, they had been here when they were young, and now they are either already famous celestial masters, or they have been painting talismans everywhere alone and spending their lives, or they can recognize the reality and rely on their little talisman skills to set up stalls to make money.
But after all, some people have unrealistic ideas and want to worship under Zhang Tianshi before they die.
Even if they draw extremely powerful talismans due to the passage of time, it is difficult to go further, even if there are talismans that prolong life, but poor comprehension is a fact, and they can't compare to the heavenly master who draws the runes at a young age.
The examiner's questioning is very reasonable, after all, the older Heavenly Masters with poor comprehension are always experienced, and in order to have a better chance of winning, they use the re-appearance charm to become younger, and they can naturally use their experience to throw off others for hundreds of streets.
It's just that Zhao Yan's rebuttal is also very reasonable, if they have the ability to draw a long-term maintenance talisman, why should they follow a group of dolls to take the exam, but to recruit disciples and directly open a sect.
The examiner is also a temperamental, and immediately apologized to Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan also understands the sophistication of people, how dare he be busy.
"We have to give you a more intuitive evidence, if you have a unique talisman, or an extremely remote talisman that is difficult for anyone outside to reach, you can use it to test me, and I will use facts to prove that you are talented!" Although the examiner is a Heavenly Master of the Imperial Palace, his ability is actually not too high, and because of this, he will draw some useless, but very strange talismans, which are naturally difficult for the Celestial Master to touch, or even unheard of.
Hearing this, the examiner applauded the case and showed a rare talisman he had drawn.
"If you can draw the same, or even higher-grade talisman, then you will be the leader of the county test talisman, I said this!" Zhao Yan said solemnly: "Who is the leader of the position!" "At this moment, there are more onlookers.
It's all talking. The examiner looked at the county guard, bowed slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said: "This talisman was a whim of mine one day, and it took three months to draw it, and the effect is ...... It can make the toenails of the feet grow. Zhao Yan: "......" onlookers: "......"
"I'm sorry, I just put my ear behind it, what did you say?" The examiner was a little embarrassed, feeling that it was indeed a bit funny for him to draw this kind of talisman, but he still said again: "The talisman that can make people's toenails longer is about one inch, and if the rank is improved, it will naturally make the toenails longer." The people who heard clearly looked at each other.
You're a great talisman. If I don't cut my toenails for a year, wouldn't it be better than your talisman?
Use a talisman to make your toenails longer, and then I cut it off, so what do I want you to do with it? Is it to practice my nail cutting technique?
Zhao Yan was silent for a long time and asked, "Why are the toenails, aren't the fingernails?" The examiner nodded very seriously,
"That's another talisman."
"......" Zhao Yan picked up the rune paper and put it on the case, then held the knife and pen, and said: "Then it's ugly!" The examiner smiled slightly, and glanced at the other people who drew talismans next to him, some of whom had already finished the second exam, and some who had just come from the first gate, and when he put his eyes on Zhao Yan again, he saw that Zhao Yan was silently picking up the teapot and pouring tea.
"Huh? Is this tired? Zhao Yan took a sip of tea and said, "The painting is finished." The examiner only felt as if a certain nerve was pinched, and the brain was instantly emptied, as if he had the same ear behind it, and wondered: "Are you done drawing?" The onlookers didn't look away, they were nodding silently, but they were very suspicious that the talisman that was drawn in a few clicks was actually a piece of waste, and they felt that Zhao Yan was a little too perfunctory, and if he couldn't draw it, he couldn't draw it.
Zhao Yan's face was calm, and he said casually: "I have already raised the rank of the talisman and the nails of my hands and feet can be lengthened, but I haven't raised the rank too high, after all, it is too scary to directly grow nails hundreds of zhang long, and it can only make the nails three inches longer, which is enough to show my talent." "Imagine lifting your feet to go out and crossing the nails of a street, and everyone shuddered.
The people were talking noisily. The people who were also examiners were watching, although they had different expressions and were all young, but they did not directly ridicule or question Zhao Yan, after all, whether the talisman was useful or not, they would know if they tried it, but even if they suspected that the talisman was useless, they didn't want to try it themselves.
The examiner volunteered and took the responsibility of the test. He took off his boots and socks, revealing his bruised instep and clean nails, and directly attached the talisman to his body, showing his hands to the onlookers.
Lin Chengzhi and Yao Guanhai in the restaurant also noticed the picture. Lin Chengzhi naturally recognized Zhao Yan, and said to Jiang Wang: "This painter of your family, I heard Pei Xingling mention it, he knows a little bit of talismans, and he found Xu Yuhu hidden in Huncheng, but the speed at which he draws talismans is too fast, right?" ”
"If you come blindly, the examiner has the right to let him go home directly." Jiang Wang thought about Xiaoyu's matter, he definitely didn't get a bad luck charm, so only Zhao Yan could give Xiaoyu a good luck charm.
It even affected himself who was already in the snow realm, although it was only a very slight impact, after all, he didn't really want to do anything to Xiaoyu, otherwise the talisman would not have any effect.
But it also proves that Zhao Yan's attainments in drawing talismans have improved again. It also proves that Xiaoyu wants to face the gods with a holy determination.
If it is a good luck rune with a great influence, and Xiaoyu's own realm is not low, then as long as the difference in strength is not too great, Xiaoyu will be difficult to defeat.
The Hammer Girl in the Grandmaster Realm, even if she will be affected a little, is very small, but the others will have to be unlucky.
Jiang Wangyu said: "Draw the talisman, he is serious, and you don't know anything about his talent. Lin Cheng was very curious when he knew this.
The examiner showed his hands and feet very seriously. Therefore, it takes some time for the effect of such talismans, except that the people who don't understand are a little anxious, and even shout that talismans are useless, and even worse, the idea that I can do it again came up, after all, Zhao Yan finished painting in a few clicks, and who wouldn't play purely by painting.
And the people who understand are waiting patiently, but their expressions are becoming more and more consistent. The first time to draw a new talisman, and the time is very short and it can be made again, only Zhang Tianshi has done it in the whole Sui.
They were ashamed that they had a trace of expectation, and finally someone couldn't help but say loudly: "If the examiner's toenails are really long, I will chew them all and eat them all!" Zhao Yan sighed secretly, unlucky.
As soon as the man's words fell, the examiner's nails began to lengthen, and the change of three inches was extremely obvious, and he could see it clearly.
The speaker's face turned red and he stepped back silently. But no one paid attention to him at this moment, because Zhao Yan obviously drew a few talismans at random, and it turned out to be real talismans, and the rank was much higher than the talisman that the examiner took three months to draw.
Even if the examiner is from scratch, Zhao Yan only needs to follow the talisman to draw, but it is also extremely exaggerated, the talisman is already very complicated, and the slightest bit of the talisman has to be destroyed, and it is not easy to make it simple, let alone surpass.
There are still a lot of people who are stranded in the first door of Qi knowledge, and even fewer people come to the second door to draw talismans, and the second test of monks and martial artists is also very difficult, and it is difficult for those who have not known Qi to have such a talent as Zhao Yan, and the examiner who is a heavenly master is particularly excited.
Enjoying the shock around him and slowly turning to the adoring gaze, Zhao Yan pretended to be deep, tilted his head sideways to look at the sword curtain rain and mist, and left the side face and the back of his head to others.
Lin Chengzhi was dumbfounded, he didn't understand the talisman, but he also knew that it was very powerful.
"Your painter has something." Jiang Wang sighed and said, "It's so-so." Lin Chengzhi looked at Xiao Yu again and said, "Your maid won't be a genius, right?" Jiang Wang directly waved his hand and retorted: "My maid doesn't know anything except for being naturally beautiful and obedient!" ”
