The tiger was stabbed right in the door, and in an instant, the skin and flesh were opened, and the flesh flew sideways, and it roared in pain and turned around and ran away......

When the yellow dog saw the tiger fleeing, he barked a few times and wanted to chase it out, but he only chased a few steps, but finally fell in a pool of blood, and died of his injuries......

Although the yellow dog died, but the yellow dog blocked the tiger's momentum on the door wall, but undoubtedly ignited the anger in the hearts of the surrounding bystanders, and saw the tiger was cut by a knife and turned to flee, for a time the morale of the villagers was greatly boosted, and the anger and resentment accumulated for a long time finally poured out, so a gang rushed into the tiger's den, to kill the tiger and then ...... quickly

Seeing that the morale of the villagers who rushed into the tiger cave was high, the tiger had already been frightened, where was the arrogant momentum before, although it also roared a few times at the villagers pretending to be arrogant, but the villagers were already unmoved under the overwhelming crowd, and finally beat the frightened tiger into a ball to death, peeled off the skin and cramped and dismantled eight pieces, and divided the meat to relieve his hatred......

After the tiger died, the village lanterns and gongs and drums sounded in unison, and a big feast was held to celebrate for three days and three nights, but one family was left in the courtyard, and a white silk was hung at the door, and there was no trace of the big yellow dog in the empty kennel at home......

After telling this story, Mao Xiaofang told us bitterly that man has always been a social animal, no one can leave the group and exist independently, and the group of dragons cannot be without a leader, let alone the crowd, so no matter when and where, there will be a person who stands up to lead the thoughts, spirits and actions of others.

What this leader does will affect the thinking and behavior of most of the people around him, and most of them will affect the larger group of people around them, and over time, whether right or wrong, everyone's thoughts will eventually form a unity, and an unquestionable situation will be created due to the collective consciousness.

Undoubtedly, the villagers in this story are the victims of this situation, one is afraid of the tiger and ten are afraid of the tiger, and ten people are afraid of the tiger, and ten people are afraid of the tiger, and ten people are afraid of the tiger, and finally the whole village is completely destroyed under the obscenity of the tiger.

But he didn't want to, and in the end, it was an old dog who stood up and aroused the anger of the whole village.

Daoist Mao Xiaofang told us that Tianzhu Mansion is the courtyard gate that the tiger cannot cross in the end, and we, the exorcists, are the 'watchdogs'.

Even if the exorcist is broken to pieces, he must guard the last portal, just because the world is pure and virtuous but blind, susceptible to the temptation and poison of the evil way, and because of the cowardice of nature, he often succumbs to obscenity and chooses forbearance, if the last portal is broken and the demon invades in a big way, how many people in the ordinary world will stand up to defend themselves and others?

Therefore, in order to save the world and save oneself, the exorcist must stand up and be willing to be a pioneer, confront the evil demons to the end, and become a model for the world with his own sincerity and courage......

After Chief Mao Xiaofang finished speaking, the candidates who attended the second test really understood the importance of this second assessment, and no one complained about the insidiousness and injustice of Tianzhu Mansion.

Then Mao Xiaofang Daoist did a good job of educating the six losers in public, seeing that the six people suddenly opened their shame and admit their mistakes, Mao Xiaofang nodded with satisfaction, seeing that it was getting late, so he asked the candidates to go back to their residences to rest for a night, and at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, they were ready to start the third assessment......

Similarly, before leaving, Mao Daochang did not disclose to us the content of the next day's assessment, as well as the identity of the chief examiner, which made the candidates inevitably a little uneasy, just because after two consecutive days of thrilling, dead and alive, even if twenty-four people finally gritted their teeth and passed the assessment, they had already been tortured to the point of being in god-shape, and nearly half of the candidates, including me, had suffered some injuries ranging from severity to severity......

Under such hard work and injury, if the daily assessment continues to be so intense, not to mention that we are just flesh and blood, even if it is steel and iron bones, I am afraid that we will lose our lives......

However, although the candidates were inevitably a little anxious, they were also aware of Mao Xiaofang's temper, so they dared to ask more, so they could only follow Mao Daochang's instructions, and each went back to their rooms to rest, and I followed Lu Xinlan, Huiyin and Li Meng back to the infirmary that had been cleaned up.

On the way back, I complained to Li Meng: "Auntie, is this really an entry assessment held by Tianzhu Mansion?" ”

"Or else?" Li Meng asked casually as she pushed the wheelchair forward.

I complained again: "What kind of assessment is this, this is simply a punishment for us!" I think Tianzhu Mansion has to torture us all to death this time, do we have such a big hatred? ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Meng glared at me fiercely from behind, and continued: "You know a fart, Tianzhu Mansion is not so easy to enter, do you know that after getting the Xiaoyu and becoming the exorcist of Tianzhu Mansion, how many dangers and how many life and death dangers you have to face every day, if the Venerable Zun has such strict requirements for you today, it is also to prevent you from losing your life after entering Tianzhu Mansion, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”

"If you say that, then I don't understand it even more," I asked again, "You also said that after entering the Tianzhu Mansion, you may be in danger all day long, naturally, the exorcists of the Tianzhu Mansion will inevitably be injured or killed when performing their tasks, right?" ”

"Of course," Li Meng replied, "The Heavenly Punishment Mansion shoulders a great responsibility, hovering at the forefront of the confrontation between good and evil all day long, almost every day people are killed by the evil demons, and every day there are people who come forward to fill the most dangerous positions...... Why is this so, you ask? ”

"I'm just curious, since Tianzhu Mansion has such a big loss of personnel every year, and the final number of people who pass the assessment at the beginning of each year is less than 100 people, plus the Tianzun people toss us candidates so much, I estimate that the candidates who can successfully pass all the assessments and join Tianzhu Mansion in the end must not be much, such a big loss, such a small supplement, Tianzhu Mansion is not beyond its means, it is not easy to survive from the Ming Dynasty to the present, for more than 600 years......"

"What do you know, you think that Tianzhu Mansion only relies on you warlocks in the realm?"

After listening to what I said, Lu Xinlan snorted coldly on the side, and continued: "Let me tell you the truth, although the name of Tianzhu Mansion is formed by the five families of 'Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Famo', but in fact, most of the combat power of Tianzhu Mansion does not come from these five families?" ”

"And that kind of thing?" I suddenly asked.

I saw Lu Xinlan nodded and replied: "In fact, as early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when Tianzhu Mansion had just formed an army with the support of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, it was faced with a problem, that is, although there are many exorcism practitioners in the four seas, they alone are far from enough to disperse the four corners of the world, and the warlocks come from all over the world, and there will inevitably be some friction between the various factions since ancient times, so the disciples of each faction are also stumbling and extremely difficult to discipline when they enter the Tianzhu Mansion. Later, it was said that Hua Xiaoyun, the first lord of Tianzhu Mansion, made a suggestion to Taizu to mobilize a group of officers and soldiers from the army of the current dynasty to join Tianzhu Mansion in the name of the imperial court, directly obey the dispatch of Tianzhu Mansion, and appoint various exorcism masters to join it as instructors to conduct secret exorcism and skill training for these officers and soldiers. This group of officers and soldiers directly obeyed the orders of the mansion master and the exorcism masters of the various factions who joined the Tianzhu Mansion, so that they finally made up for the shortage of manpower in the Tianzhu Mansion. And these officers and soldiers are also the predecessors of the 'Five Armies Protectorate' in the initial period of Tianzhu Mansion......"

Hearing Lu Xinlan's words, I suddenly realized and replied: "That is to say, the so-called five armies are all protecting the mansion, in fact, not all of them are exorcists and warlocks sent by various factions, but they are just named after the five major exorcists of 'Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Famo', can I understand it like this?" ”

"It's not accurate, but it's not entirely wrong for you to understand it that way." Lu Xinlan replied: "At the beginning, the practice of hiring foreign reinforcements to assist Tianzhu Mansion was only popular in the Five Armies Protectorate, because the Five Armies Protectorate was the vanguard army among the four major institutions of Tianzhu Mansion, and the daily exorcism was the most attritional, and later because of the Battle of Jingjing, Tianzhu Mansion was persecuted by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and the personnel absconded to Mobei to survive, so that the manpower of Tianzhu Mansion was even more scarce, so later in order to make up for the shortage of manpower, even the Thirteen Imperial Observatory began to hire outsiders to train, which made up for the problem of insufficient personnel, And our six Zhongshu Province is a civilian department, and there is no need for too many professional exorcists to work in the department on a daily basis, so most of the civilian personnel are also found outside, or trained by themselves, only the Kyushu Town Fu Division, which is responsible for guarding all parts of Kyushu, cannot be negligent because of the particularity of the position, so until today it has only been held by the masters in the exorcism world...... But in the past few years, the world has not been very good, evil demons have appeared frequently, and there are stranger sects secretly haunting, resulting in many of the suppression envoys in the Kyushu Pacification Division being killed while carrying out the local town guard tasks, and the supply of personnel has also become a problem......

After listening to Lu Xinlan, I asked again: "So, where did all this foreign aid come from?" In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, Tianzhu Mansion was a demon-eradicating institution supported by the Ming Dynasty, and it was forgivable to have the ability to use the army of the Dynasty, but now it is not what it used to be, Tianzhu Mansion has long been in the people's home, and there is no official support at all, who will lend the army to you? When there are not enough people, don't you Tianzhu Mansion go to the streets to distribute leaflets and radio stations to advertise? ”
