Liu Jizu was a little at a loss, and said in his heart that this would be regarded as an official disciple?

He took the pen from the elder's hand, and the elder pointed to the corner of the board in his hand and said, "You sign your name here." You can write, right? You can't write with handprints. ”

Liu Jizu hurriedly said yes, signed his name where he pointed, and took the opportunity to take a closer look at what was written on the board. I saw that there was a number at the top, the name of the person who participated in the test below, and then the test items below, with more than a dozen items large and small. There is a record of the test results at the back of each item, and at the bottom is the signature of the test elder, one says Shepherd Changfeng, the other writes Ji Lan, and Liu Jizu's signature is next to it. Sun Xing and others signed on the back as witnesses.

After finishing this set, Elder Mu said, "It's almost this morning, you take your things and go to your master's place." We're going to arrange the introductory ceremony in the afternoon, and you'll have lunch and come back to the trial room to see us later. ”

Liu Jizu saluted the two elders, said goodbye to Sun Xing and the others, returned to the room, put on his equipment and returned to the trial place.

Wu Lun and the others were waiting for him there.

The seventh sister was the first to ask, "Is it over?"

Liu Jizu nodded.

The seventh sister was so happy that she almost jumped.

Wu Lun wrote lightly: "This is a formality, he is much stronger than me then, I can pass, let alone him!"

Shi Niang pursed her lips at this time and said with a smile: "Don't listen to your master pretending to be garlic, he was restless just now, and he didn't even drink a sip of tea!"

Wu Lun glared at his wife, and didn't dare to say anything, and said to Liu Jizu: "Hurry up and go, I've been waiting for you for a long time! Let's go and settle down first, and then go to have a good meal, and then we will go to collect the money in the afternoon!"

"Do you have my share of the money?"

Wu Lun pouted, "I told you a long time ago, as long as you teach qualified apprentices, you have a sum of money, it is awarded to the teacher, and it has nothing to do with you." But you also have a lot of benefits, and you'll know in the afternoon. After saying that, he took everyone into the mule cart and walked towards the way they came.

"Master, where are we going?"

Shi Niang said: "When you went to the test, the sect sent someone to come and arranged a place for us to live. Your master will be an elder in the future, and he will be responsible for guiding his disciples to learn new martial arts in the Chuan Jing Building, and he will have five taels of silver every month?"

"Five taels a month, so much!"

Wu Lun pursed his lips, "You guys are too petty, five taels of silver is just the share of the lowest-ranking elder, not an extra reward." Everything here is expensive, it sounds like a lot, but in fact, five taels of silver is just enough to spend?"

"Master, tell me about these things, and when I was tested, I heard about the task level, how it was divided. ”

"Elders, they are all ordered by the sect chief, and they are divided into three levels: high, medium and low. As long as the formal disciples meet certain conditions and earn enough money for the sect, they can apply. In the past two days, they have been checking how much money they have earned for the sect and whether they have reached the standard. ”

"How much does it cost?"

Wu Lun shook his head, "I don't know about this, there are people in the sect who are specifically responsible for this." However, I have been on a mission for the sect for more than thirty years, and the money is already enough. Like me, who has mastered many martial arts, is not too old, and can be responsible for guiding martial arts, developing martial arts, etc., called Chuan Gong Elder, which is the lowest level, and most of them are served by our disciples with foreign surnames. Generally, there are no deacons under him, and they pay five taels of silver every month. Like Elder Mu and Elder Ji, they are intermediate, called Deacon Elders, and they are both served by disciples with six surnames, who are responsible for the management of various departments in the sect. For example, Elder Mu is in charge of the reception office, and Elder Ji is in charge of the trial office, both of which are small departments, and there are a few deacons under him who listen to errands, and they pay ten taels of silver every month.

For example, the scripture transmission building and the psychic hall where spirit beasts are raised are large, and there are ten middle-level elders in the scripture transmission building alone, and they can arrange tasks for low-level elders. The next level is the senior elders, they are not responsible for the specific work, they are to find faults and move their mouths, generally only senior elders over seventy-five years old who have made contributions to the sect can serve, fifteen taels of silver per month.

Among the elders, I am still relatively young, not because of the five taels of silver, but because I am very idle as an elder. It is enough to be on duty for fifteen days a month, and after death, the sect will also take care of the aftermath, in addition to funeral matters, if there are family members who need to be taken care of, the sect will also take care of one or two. And it doesn't cost money to live here, otherwise I can't afford to live here, just one or two silver for two days, and it's just the accommodation fee. ”

When Liu Jizu heard that he would pay a tael of silver in two days, he said in his heart that the sect really dared to accept it!

Wu Lun continued: "The food here is also very good, and the location is good. It's only a day away from the capital, and you can go to the capital to relax. The most important thing is that it is safe and worry-free here, you don't have to worry about other things, and you can stay up slowly. In addition, for those of us who are responsible for passing on the gong, in addition to the five taels of silver, there is also money for those who receive the task brand. Even if you pass the test this time, I will receive at least three hundred taels of silver. The test disciples are divided into three classes, the third class is three hundred taels, the second class is good is five hundred taels, and the first class excellent is eight hundred taels. You should be a good person at worst! With Master's little savings, you'll have enough to live. ”

Liu Jizu listened carefully, with a burst of envy in his heart, and asked, "What about the mission level?"

Wu Lun drove the car towards a fork in the road and said, "The task level is determined according to the difficulty of the task. It is generally divided into ten classes, the tenth class task is the lowest, and it is also the easiest, and the reward is ten taels of silver, twenty taels for the ninth class, thirty taels for the eighth class, forty taels for the seventh class, fifty taels for the sixth class, one hundred taels for the fifth class, five hundred taels for the fourth class, one thousand taels for the third class, five thousand taels for the second class, and ten thousand taels for the first class. The more difficult the task, the higher the pay, like the one I was injured in is fourth-class, and when I finish paying the tuition, the fourth-class and above will account for half of the external fees.

But the fourth-class task almost killed me, which means that the money is still not easy to earn! Of course, it may also be that the sect miscalculated, and I didn't expect that there would be a master to rob it. Therefore, when I choose a task, in addition to looking at the task level, I will also analyze the possibility of accidents in this task. Including the distance of the task, the time, the situation on the road, the wealth and reputation of the client, etc. If I think the risk is high, I won't accept it, and I can't fully trust the level set by the sect. ”

Liu Jizu thought that he still had to pay tuition, and he didn't know when he would be able to earn money like his master, so he couldn't help but look forward to it.

After a while, Wu Lun drove the mule cart to a valley, where many houses were built on the mountain, and the bottom of the valley was a small stream, which was picturesque. Wu Lun looked at the wooden sign tied to the key, looked for the door number of each house, and soon they found the corresponding house.

The house is not big, with a wooden and stone structure, a stone courtyard wall, a wooden door, and a door number on the wall next to the door, which reads East 3.28, and a copper lock on the wooden door. Wu Lun took the key and poked the lock open, pushed the door open, and drove the mule cart inside.

There is only one entry into the house, three main rooms, and a wing room on the left is the kitchen, which has all the furniture and kitchen utensils. On the right side is a shed, half of which is a livestock shed, the other half is a pile of firewood and other miscellaneous items, and then there is a latrine. In the middle is a yard, which is quite spacious and clean.

Liu Jizu and Seventh Sister helped Master and Master to unload the luggage on the mule cart and put it away. Wu Lun and his wife live in the East House, and Liu Jizu and Seventh Sister temporarily live in the West House.

Wu Lun looked up at the sun, it was almost noon, touched his stomach and said, "It's time to eat, let's have a good meal today, celebrate, go to the restaurant at the entrance of the town to eat, and buy some application things in the town by the way." The food there is first-class, the master is invited from the capital, and the wine is specially supplied by Liulin Town, which is very good. ”

Since Wu Lun said it was good, it must not be wrong. The environment of the restaurant is very good, and the most distinctive thing is that there is a location and food specially prepared for spirit animals. There are not many people in the restaurant, Wu Lun ordered gourd chicken, boiled elbows, stewed pig's trotters, milk soup fish, mixed kidney silk, bad meat and two fresh vegetarian dishes, asked for 20 buns, and a pot of special wine in Liulin Town.

The man was an elderly deacon, and when he heard the food he ordered, he smiled and said, "I know that you are an expert when you order, you wait a minute!"

After a while, the shopkeeper actually came to serve the food in person, and when he saw Wu Lun, he thought for a while before asking, "Your surname is Wu, right?"

Wu Lun was stunned for a moment, "I just ate at your place three times, and you remember it?"

"That's not, some people have eaten restaurants all their lives but never ordered, I can't remember such people, only those who can eat are our bosom friends who open restaurants, I can't help but remember!"

Wu Lun admired it very much, so he asked the shopkeeper to sit down and drink two glasses together.

The shopkeeper was not polite, and added two dishes for free, before sitting down to drink together, seeing that everyone's interest was getting higher and higher, Liu Jizu followed with a drink.

Wu Lun took a sip of wine and asked, "Your wine here is so good, it should be regarded as the best in Gyeonggi Province, right?"

When the shopkeeper heard the wine, he came to his senses, "Senior Brother Wu, you don't know, this wine has a lot of origins." The wine we drank was similar to the wine the emperor drank!"

Liu Jizu was also interested when he heard this, and asked, "Is this imperial wine?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "It's not the royal wine, but the difference is mainly in the packaging." There is another story here, it must have been more than 100 years! That year, a young man came to us, saying that his property had been robbed by bad people, and that the murdered family had been ruined, and he wanted to hire us to avenge him. You also know that we generally don't accept this kind of revenge task, and even if we take it secretly, how expensive such a task is! How can he afford so much money now that his family is ruined, so he has to cry bitterly at the door.

It happened that the sect master at that time went out, and when he saw this scene, he asked what was going on, and the young man said it again. The sect master happened to have been to Liulin Town before, and drank their home-brewed wine, so he asked if you know how to make wine? The young man said of course he would, and he had been learning to make wine from his father and grandfather since he was a child. As soon as the sect master heard that he was interested, he said that you can't afford to pay now, so I will do it for you. When you take revenge, I don't want you to pay back the money after you get back your own property, so you can send me a hundred jars of wine every year for three years!

Young people are now destitute and cornered, how can they disagree. The suzerain gave him money. Later, the sect sent its best disciples to carry out this task, helping him to avenge his revenge and regain the family business, and the young man kept his promise and really sent a hundred jars of wine. The sect master was very happy, so he brought all the elders and disciples of the sect who were not on duty to drink together, and that scene was really rare to see. After everyone drank it, they all felt that the wine was really good, and those who didn't drink it were even more envious.

When the sect master found out, he found the young man to discuss whether he could send it to our sect regularly, and we offered a high price, and of course the young man agreed. Since then, our sect has always been their family's largest buyer, and their family's industry has become larger and larger because of this stable market. It was the local officials who drank their wine, praised it, and paid tribute to the emperor, and the emperor at that time also took this sip to become the imperial wine. Their family's wine has also doubled in value, and ordinary people can't buy it. But this family has always sold wine to us at the old price because of the kindness of our sect, but they have not used the altar of tribute, which has also become a good story of our sect. ”

A few people ate while listening to the story, and when the story was finished, the meal was almost finished.

Wu Lun and the shopkeeper drank more and more hot, and they almost bowed, but were stopped by the teacher, saying that there was something to do in the afternoon, so don't delay. Wu Lun stopped, settled the account, and said goodbye to the shopkeeper.

Liu Jizu looked at the price of vegetables, it was indeed expensive, similar to that in Jinyang City. Then several people went together to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables, wine and meat, and two bedding before going back.
