1264 - Surrounded by strong enemies
Hearing the question of the fourth child, Mao Daochang replied patiently: "Autumn defeat, winter death, only the sky is foolproof is the beginning, so the exam is only open for three months every year, not to mention, Tianzhu Mansion is limited in personnel after all, how can you keep people in Nanjing in February every year to prepare for the assessment, and it is already commendable to take out people to hold a three-month exam in your busy schedule......
After saying this, Daoist Mao looked at Bai Wei again, and then asked: "Bai Wei, what else do you know, you might as well say it all, and also give this group of mountain artillery commanders a long insight......
Bai Wei nodded, and continued: "Tianzhu Mansion is no longer an official organization, and has become an 'illegal' group in the exorcism world hidden among the people, so now we can neither do things with as much fanfare as we did when the Ming Dynasty opened the country, nor can we be as unscrupulous as the 749 Bureau and 507 now, let alone be noticed by the general public, so the annual assessment is conducted privately and never made public, and the exam location will change once a year in order to ensure the ......safety of the exorcists."
When Bai Wei said this, the fourth child asked innocently: "Little master, the assessment of Tianzhu Mansion is so mysterious, so why should we contact them?" Can't we get to Nanjing and ask all over the streets, 'Which is the exorcist from Tianzhu Mansion, can you take us to the assessment?' ”
Hearing this, Bai Wei smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Tianzhu Mansion has the rules of Tianzhu Mansion, and during the exam every year, clues will be released in some conspicuous places in the streets and alleys to those candidates who go to Nanjing to take the exam, as long as you follow the clues, you will naturally be able to contact the reception staff of Tianzhu Mansion and take you to the exam site......
After listening to Bai Wei, Daochang Mao nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Bai Wei, it seems that you have been walking in the exorcism world all these years, and you are really not a fool, so how much do you know about the content of the exam?" ”
"This ......"
Bai Wei was stunned for a moment, frowned and replied: "I have indeed heard of it before, and I have heard some people in the industry who have applied for the Tianzhu Mansion mentioned that there are eight items in the assessment of the Tianzhu Mansion every year, which is named 'Breaking the Eight Passes', but what is the specific content of the so-called Eight Levels, but it has been changing due to the different examiners every year, so no one knows what will be examined, but fortunately, what must be possessed as an exorcist is not far from the truth, so I can roughly guess some, but there has always been a question that puzzles me......"
Speaking of this, Bai Wei paused for a moment, and then continued: "It is said that after the registration deadline for the exam every month, the assessment will officially start on the first day of the next month, and the assessment will last for a total of seven days, with one assessment content per day...... So, it should be seven levels after the test, how can it be 'eight levels'? Could it be that on a given day, two assessments will be conducted at the same time? ”
Bai Wei pretended to talk to herself, but when she spoke, she frowned and glanced at Mao Daochang, it seemed that she had no intention, but in fact she had a heart, not to mention how shrewd her little eyes were.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but give Bai Wei a thumbs up, and said in my heart that this girl is bad, and she actually wanted to deliberately say something from Mao Daochang's mouth, and wanted to set out some specific content about the exam.
But as the saying goes, people are old and dogs are old spirits, and Mao Dao is an old dog...... No, how many years has the old man been messing around with the Tao? Can you still see Bai Wei's cautious eyes?
So he laughed and replied, "Don't worry, when you arrive in Nanjing, won't everything be clear?" ”
Mao Daochang deliberately avoided talking about business, Bai Wei was inevitably a little disappointed, Mao Daochang smiled again when he saw this, and simply broke the mystery and smiled calmly: "Don't be disappointed, I am one of the twelve heavenly venerables of Tianzhu Mansion after all, and I am the chief examiner of the annual assessment, I can't leak the question to you in advance, that would be unfair......"
As soon as Mao Dao said this, he heard Liu Dayang, an apprentice standing on the side, ask faintly: "Master, why did you tell me everything?" ”
This was so angry that Mao Daochang immediately glared at Liu Dayang, gritted his teeth and said secretly: "Silly you, you are my own apprentice, who will you go to the back door if you don't let you go?" ”
Although Mao Daochang's voice was small, we could still hear it clearly, and for a while, the atmosphere in the room was not to mention how embarrassing.
Mao Daochang hurriedly eased the atmosphere twice, rolled his eyes, and took over the conversation with a smile, and said: "But you don't have to worry, everyone knows each other after all, although I am inconvenient to disclose the content of the exam to you, but there is something I can tell you first, so that you can also have a psychological preparation......
As soon as they heard this, everyone immediately raised their spirits, and they heard the fourth child ask excitedly: "Dao Chief, what did you leak to us?" ”
Mao Daochang smiled slightly and replied: "I can tell you in advance who are the main reference students you will meet during this month's assessment......
After hearing Daoist Mao's words, everyone was immediately deflated, especially the fourth, who was so disappointed that he took two puffs of cigarettes, pursed his lips, and said impatiently: "Daoist, are you joking with us?" Tell us what's the use of this? I'll just take my own test, I don't care who will take the exam with me, Lao Tzu is here to apply for the Tianzhu Mansion, not to go on a blind date, can I still see that the candidates in the same period are not pleasing to the eye, I turn my head and leave? ”
The fourth child finished speaking, only to hear Bai Wei say in a deep voice beside him: "Fourth, you can't say that, if Daoist Mao can tell us this information, it will be of great use to us......
"What's the use?" The fourth asked suspiciously.
Bai Wei said again: "Although the content of the 'Eight Levels' assessed by Tianzhu Mansion every year has changed, there is one of them that is essential every year, that is, actual combat ......."
"Actual combat?"
As soon as they heard this, everyone's expressions became solemn again.
Bai Wei nodded and continued: "However, the content of the actual battle also changes every year, it may be assigned to carry out the task of eliminating demons, or it may be that the candidates are fighting in pairs or fighting directly in the same period, and the qualifications are determined by fighting...... Therefore, it is extremely important to explore the information of other candidates in the same period, and even during the annual assessment in Nanjing, there will be candidates in the same period who secretly compete or drag each other back, just to kick the stronger competitors out first......"
"I see, it turns out that there is still competition between candidates at the same time, and I thought it was just a simple application for the exam at the same time......"
After Bai Wei finished speaking, the fourth child finally understood, and everyone suddenly realized.
The fourth child hurriedly looked at Daochang Mao again, and hurriedly asked, "Daochang, then tell us quickly, what are the characters in our candidates in the same period?" We should also prepare in advance. ”
Mao Daochang nodded and replied: "It's the end of March now, and the first phase of the assessment has ended, that is to say, after you arrive in Nanjing tomorrow to sign up for the assessment, you will participate in the second phase of the assessment held in early April. It is not a grade at all to keep up with the first batch of candidates assessed last month......"
Speaking of this, Mao Daochang glanced at me meaningfully, and sighed secretly: "Little Liuzi, especially you who are extremely unstable in your performance, in this list of candidates, you can only barely be counted at the bottom, in case you encounter a real combat method on the way to the assessment, most of them can easily kill you......"
As soon as I heard this, I didn't care, but the fourth, Xiaofei and Chen Guosheng panicked first, and then heard Xiaofei tremble and say, "Mom, can the little sixth master be considered the bottom?" Then Fourth Brother, Xiao Chen, what can we do with pure waste like bullshit that can't do it......"
"Hey, who you say can't shit?" Upon hearing this, Chen Guo glared angrily.
The fourth child comforted on the side: "Xiao Chen, don't be reckless, you're not bullshit, wouldn't you?" Along the way, Lao Tzu relied on two kitchen knives to chop indiscriminately, you relied on pulling out the gun at every turn, and gave us all the knives and guns, what else do you say we can do? I'm still going to fight, you can't even fight, you're not a waste......"
"Okay, I'll admit it......" Chen Guosheng lowered his head in shame.
