[21] Assessment
"Oh?"
Pu Lao calmed down his excitement, and he squinted at Wang Xi. There was actually a kind of pride on this young man's face.
Oh, funny kids!
"Your kind of self-confidence is rare!" Pu Lao was surprisingly not angry.
"You're scared, you're scared you're going to lose?"
"Scared?"
Pu Lao laughed, "I'm not afraid, I'm laughing at your incompetence." Do you think that if you carve a talisman, you will be able to make talismans...... Or do you make a talisman and think you can pass the talisman maker in a month?"
"You should have been able to carve the sigil yesterday or today, right?"
Wang Xi nodded.
"As far as I know, most students learn to carve seals, and they come to me for the first time to ask for assessment, but this is the first time I've seen you so stubborn. No, blind confidence, so to speak!"
"Don't talk nonsense, do you dare to bet with me!" Wang Xi was a little impatient.
This attitude is even more naïve in the eyes of Pu Lao, but this is also Wang Xi's deliberate.
Thirty-six plans, want to catch the old and indulge!
Let your old boy think that I am a stunned young man, and then accept my bet, Wang Xi smiled coldly in his heart, all those who look down on themselves will have to pay the price.
"Say, how do you bet?" said Old Pu with a smile on his face.
Fish, hooked!
Wang Xi said directly: "A month later, if I pass the guò talisman master to advance, you have to apologize to me in front of all the students;
"Well, I have already recorded these words in the transmission note!"
After speaking, Pu Lao shook a black talisman in his hand, this is a transmission note, which is used to transmit sound, and can also be used to record, but it is also a magical talisman.
The old man's eyes showed a hint of conspiracy succeeding, obviously in his opinion, Wang Xi was really too tender!
Wang Xi smiled inwardly, since you are unkind to me, then don't blame me for being unjust!
"Come with me!"
Pu Lao leaned over and walked out of the door. Wang Xi hurriedly followed, squeezed his fists hard, and his eyes became extremely confident.
"Brother Wang Xi really went to take the apprenticeship exam?"
"I guess so...... It's the first time I've seen someone confront a teacher!"
"Yes, Brother Wang Xi is really majestic!"
When a few children saw that Pu Lao was gone, they hurriedly put down their work and discussed.
"Shut up for me, make talismans well, I'll come back in a while to see if you didn't make a magic talisman, and see that I don't break your legs!"
Pu Lao suddenly turned around, startled these half-grown children, hurriedly closed their mouths, and sat there obediently to make talismans.
The assessment house is on the corner of the Fu Hall.
Wang Xi followed behind Pu Lao and walked slowly.
Along the way, several talisman apprentices looked up curiously, they were quite young, and they were a little surprised when they watched Wang Xi, who was almost an adult, walking towards the apprentice assessment.
"Is this kid going to be an apprentice in talisman making?" an old talisman master asked Elder Pu.
Pu Lao nodded, and looked at Wang Xi playfully.
Wang Xi suddenly felt that the eyes of everyone around him suddenly focused on him, full of surprise, puzzlement, and some even ridicule.
He knows why!
Many talisman apprentices make talismans for the first time, and they can make a defective talisman, which is already a high talent. A lot of them are remnants!
Only by constantly making talismans can the quality of talismans be improved. In the middle of this, you need to continue to try and comprehend, in order to make your talisman level better and better. Now as a talisman apprentice, you won't make much progress after a month.
So many talisman apprentices are children under the age of ten.
Wang Xi's assessment, for them, is basically useless work. Even if this time the talisman apprentice is passed, it is destined to be eliminated in a month.
Pu Lao obviously thought the same way, so he said those words to Wang Xi.
"Lao Pu, this is yours, why don't you stop it?" said an old talisman with a frown.
"I can't stop it, this kid is threatening me...... He also made a bet with me, saying that if he was promoted to the talisman in a month, he would want my old face to apologize to him in front of you!"
"What?!"
Several old talisman masters looked at each other, obviously a little incredulous.
"This kid is arrogant and doesn't know how thick the sky is...... It's just that you can talk, according to my temperament, it's strange not to beat him to death!"
After an old talisman finished speaking, he looked at Wang Xi coldly.
Wang Xi smiled inwardly, these old boys, relying on the old and selling the old, are really annoying......
Along the way, they stopped and stopped, all saying that Wang Xi was not. But Wang Xi's expression was unusually calm. This kind of heart made Pu Lao, who was observing him on the side, surprised.
"What other means, just use it!"
Wang Xi said quietly, and Pu Lao's eyes suddenly became sharp, this kid is a thorn.
At this time, the two of them had already come to the assessment house, and several old talisman makers were sitting in the house, some were carving seals, and some were turning over some ancient books.
"Lao Yan, there is a student who wants to assess the talisman apprentice!"
Pu Lao's voice, in the quiet assessment house, was extremely loud.
At this moment, all the talisman makers raised their heads and looked at Wang Xi, who was quite tall, and a trace of strangeness flashed in the eyes of countless people......
"Assessing the talisman apprentice?" said an old talisman master with a spotted face, suddenly standing up, his face full of disbelief.
"Hmm!"
Wang Xi nodded, and his calm gaze met the old man.
The old man Wang Xi knew that he was the old man Yan who was in charge of the assessment, and he was the only old talisman maker in the entire Fu Hall who could make the best talismans.
"It's an interesting child, but his personality is a little stubborn!" Yan Lao shook his head and looked at Pu Lao deeply, the latter nodded slightly, and Yan Lao took out a roster from the drawer and asked Wang Xi to register the next list.
The rest of the talisman makers in the house, after taking a look at Wang Xi, were all busy with their own things again.
Yan Lao took Pu Lao and Wang Xi to a corner of the house, where a long table was placed, and all kinds of talisman making tools were available on the long table.
"Old Pu, is this a rare situation?" Yan Lao said to Old Pu with some teasing.
"There are always some children who don't give up!" Pu Lao smiled.
"It's not your style, but now that we're here, we're going to give them a chance. I see that this kid is funny, and he doesn't seem to be afraid of us at all, so he is calm, and I look forward to his expression for a while......"
Elder Yan glanced at Wang Xi with some praise.
Wang Xi also reciprocated with respect.
Those who respect people are very respectful!
Wang Xi's criterion is very simple, you respect me one foot, I respect you one zhang, if you bully me one foot, then I'm sorry, I will deceive you ten zhang!
Pu Lao laughed dryly and didn't speak again.
"Sit down!"
Elder Yan pointed to the seat in front of the long table, and then he sat opposite Wang Xi, while Elder Pu was standing. In general, the assessment does not need to be accompanied by a teacher, but Pu Lao decided to stay and take a look.
After all, the two bet, Pu Lao still wants to see what this kid relies on, dare to be so rebellious!
