Chapter 35: Taoist Assessment
The next day, Chen Youniao returned to the county with Wangcai. As for the hand tail of the manor, just let Song Tianfu deal with it, strictly speaking, this is his family matter.
Back at the house, Uncle Wang was very happy, and the thrush was as cold as ever, and her lifestyle was quite lonely, as if she had been alone since she was a child. However, when he saw Chen Youniao, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, forming an arc of a smile, like a ray of sunshine flashing at a glance, which was extremely bright, but unfortunately it quickly converged.
Chen Youniao asked a few words, and after nothing else, he quickly left again and went straight to the mansion. He has successfully turned into qi and laid the foundation, and he has become a real Taoist priest, and he can go to receive the relevant identity degree.
For a person, identity is very important, the so-called "justifiable", with the Taoist priest's degree in hand, can solve a lot of unnecessary troubles. As for "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", a mere Taoist priest is really nothing, pretending to be a pig, if he really becomes a pig, it will be funny.
The distance between the government and the government is not short, Chen Youniao did not choose to take the car, and walked on two legs. In a world with inconvenient transportation, it is good to train your legs. Wangcai followed behind, although he was a subordinate and accustomed to hardship, compared to his own young master, his physical strength was inferior, and his speed was obviously unable to keep up.
"The young master is a cultivator, and he is really powerful......
Wangcai secretly admired in his heart.
When I arrived at the Yamen, I was greeted by a solemn building rising from the ground, full of majesty.
As a department of the imperial court, a place for official business, and a place for officials to sit in town, it must not be shabby, and the words "tall and mighty" must be highlighted in all aspects.
In this way, the people of the city can be suppressed. If you make a thatched hut or something like thatched, when people see it, they will lose their sense of awe, and they will not recognize your official authority.
This may seem formalistic, but it is practical, and it has been true for thousands of years.
As soon as Chen Youniao's master and servant climbed the steps, they were shouted by the guards and officials: "Stop, what are you doing here?"
Wangcai came from a humble background, and when he came here, his feet and stomachs were trembling, and when he heard the shouting, his knees were weak, and he almost fell to his knees. It's not that he is too timid, for most of the people, many people have never entered the yamen in their lives, and they are respectful and awe-struck, and they avoid it. As long as it is contaminated, it will have to be shed if it does not die.
Chen Youniao was calm and said what he meant.
When the official heard this, he was taken aback, and immediately changed his face: "It turned out to be Mr. Fangshi, it was rude." ”
After a pause, he explained: "Where the yamen is located, each has its own division of labor, this is the place where the public order is tried, and the degree of certification is obtained, so turn left and go to the Daoting Governor's Mansion." ”
Chen Youniao understood, thanked him, and left with Wangcai. It didn't take long to come to the gate of the Daoting Governor's Mansion.
This is the office set up by the Taoist Court in the mundane world.
Strictly speaking, the Taoist court is also governed by the imperial court, and the important edict of the gods must be sealed by the emperor before it can be recognized, otherwise it is a wild worship of the gods, but if the relevant temples are found, they will be destroyed.
This is also the embodiment of the peak of the national power of the imperial court and the stability of the imperial power. Emperor Zhengming was in the prime of life, and he worked hard to create a prosperous and prosperous era. On the one hand, it promulgated and implemented various decrees for the benefit of the people and strengthened humanity, and on the other hand, it abandoned the Daoist Enlightenment, established the Taoist Court, and exterminated and suppressed all kinds of evil and evil demons with the help of the power of Taoism.
The two-pronged approach has achieved remarkable results.
The Daoting Governor's Mansion occupies a large area, and from the perspective of the pattern, it is similar to a large avenue.
Chen Youniao took a breath and stepped in. Soon a Taoist boy came to inquire, and when he heard what he meant, he was not surprised, and took Chen Youniao inside. As for Wangcai, he didn't have that treatment, so he obediently stayed outside and waited.
"You, are you from the Laoshan Dojo?"
Above the inner courtyard, an old Taoist who was about the age of a sixtieth birthday sat there cross-legged, looked at Chen Youniao and asked.
"Yes. ”
Chen Youniao replied honestly and submitted a document. This is his identity certificate of being a Taoist boy in Laoshan for ten years, and it records his situation in detail, including his performance during the assessment.
Lao Dao looked slowly, and when he saw somewhere, he couldn't help but look up at Chen Youniao again.
There is no doubt that Chen Youniao's performance on Laoshan Mountain is a mess, it is simply a wet firewood fire, and he has been boiling for ten years, and there is nothing outstanding at all.
Such people are actually not uncommon.
In particular, in today's current situation, humanity is flourishing, and the Taoism has faintly shown signs of decline. After all, the Dao Court, as well as the Heavenly Master who is in charge of the Dao Court, now have to listen to the emperor's words.
In this way, the path of monasticism is even more difficult.
Therefore, most of the people who go up to the mountain to cultivate the Tao are sent down the mountain to go home all their lives. However, relying on some of the Dao methods learned in the mountains, as long as they are not too stupid and unlucky, they can still be mixed with food and clothing in the mundane.
At the same time, there will also be a few people who will accumulate a lot of money due to fate, and suddenly open their minds, so as to become Taoist priests.
Of course, this is a very isolated case, and it is rare.
Judging from the resume at hand, no matter how you look at it, you can't see any reason why Chen Youniao can refine and refine qi. This is like a person who only scores 350 points in every exam, and suddenly gets admitted to a first-class university, how is it possible?
The old Taoist put down the document and put on a straight face: "Are you sure you want to come to the assessment? The first time, you have to pay a fee of 100 taels of silver; if you can't pass the exam this time, you will have to pay 500 taels next time." ”
Chen Youniao couldn't help but ask, "What if it doesn't happen twice?"
The old Taoist smiled: "You can still continue to take the test, but every time you take the test, the cost will have to be increased by five times." ”
"Five-fold?"
Chen Youniao couldn't help but gasp, where is this exam, it is clearly the test money.
"Therefore, this way advises you to be cautious, and you must be a little sure before coming, at least fifty percent sure. The mind of luck is no different from gambling, or it is just a waste of opportunities and money. ”
The old Taoist persuaded him, he thought that Chen Youniao was purely here to try his luck, he had just been sent back to the mountain, and it had not been a few months, and he wanted to come here to test his identity, did he think that the assessment difficulty of the Daoting Governor's Mansion was lower than that of the Laoshan Dojo?
Think beautifully.
As for those who go through the back door, it not only requires a lot of money, but also relevant interpersonal relationships.
The old Taoist doesn't think that Chen Youniao has this background, and if he had, he wouldn't have gone through the normal procedure to get here.
Chen Youniao replied: "I decided to apply for the exam." ”
The old Taoist shrugged his shoulders and no longer persuaded him: "It's up to you." ”
Chen Youniao asked again: "What will be the content of my assessment?"
"Hehe, according to the situation of each dojo and each Taoist temple, it is different. Well, since you're from Laoshan, the assessment is "Through the Wall". ”
"Oh, okay. ”
Chen Youniao was mentally prepared and unfazed.
The old Taoist stared at him: "This way can remind you in advance that in the assessment process, you are responsible for any consequences, and you must sign the responsibility document in advance." ”
The implication is that when you penetrate the wall, if you can't wear it, no matter how bad Chen Youniao's head is broken and how tragic and tragic it is, it has nothing to do with the Daoting Governor's Mansion. Even if he hit his head on the wall and died, it was Chen Youniao's own business.
It's not like this hasn't happened before.
The old Taoist was not optimistic about Chen Youniao's assessment this time, and reminded him routinely.
"Got it, let's get started. ”
......
A quarter of an hour later, the old Taoist looked at Chen Youniao passing through the wall with a dull expression, and said in a daze: "You, you have passed through?"
Chen Youniao said lightly: "As you can see." ”
As long as the spell is successfully cast once, there will be no more problems. Unless the state is too bad, the mana can't keep up.
"But, but ......"
The old man didn't know what to say.
Chen Youniao smiled and said, "Having said that, this brick wall seems to be a little thicker than that of the Laoshan Dojo. ”
The old Taoist scratched his head, he had already accepted the fact that Chen Youniao had passed the assessment, so let it be considered a shit luck, after all, a person who has been in Laoshan for ten years, even a pig will accumulate some Taoist foundations, and coughed dryly: "Well, congratulations on your successful promotion to a formal Taoist priest." However, there are still some paperwork to go through, so it will take a while for your identity to be obtained, and then someone will send it to your door. ”
You don't have to pick it up yourself, it saves time, of course Chen Youniao has no opinion, a few polite words, and quit.
Wangcai hurried up to meet him and asked, "Young Master, how did you do in the exam?"
Chen Youniao said: "I have passed the test, kill the chicken tonight." ”
"Great!"
Wangcai jumped up excitedly, clapped his hands and cheered. For the subordinates, the more powerful and powerful the master's family, the more powerful and dignified they are. Now that Chen Youniao has become a Taoist priest, then whether it is Wangcai or Uncle Wang, they are all honored, and the days to come will be much better.
