2. Corporal's qualifications

The warm sunlight sprinkled on the towering three-arch white jade gate, and a few golden fonts in the Hongdao West Wilderness Courtyard, flying dragons and phoenixes, dazzling.

There is also a pair of couplets on both sides of the door that "Zhou Gong spit and feed, and the world returns to the heart".

Shen Buyi looked at the couplet from a distance, and was silent for a long time.

Separated by a door, the door is the fairy road, the door is the world, the door is separated by the door, the door is heaven, and the door is worldly.

There is a saying: "The heroes of the world all return to this door." ”

The Xin Dynasty has been established for 1,400 years, and the Xin Dynasty is the second great unified dynasty on the hot land of Aurora.

The old rules (system) Xin Sui is about the Chen Dynasty before the Xin Dynasty, and many systems of the Xin Dynasty were tinkered with on the basis of the Chen Dynasty, so that the country was strong.

Thinking about the Chen Shi Huang, the remnants of Fen VI, Zhen Changce, the gold caster, the seven heroes, the shock of the four seas, the barbarians did not dare to ride horses and hunt, and Yi Di did not dare to bend the bow and complained. What a mighty and domineering man. What a glorious eternal.

What's more, Chen Shi Huang learned the lessons of his predecessors and disrupted the world, so he burned the books of a hundred schools and killed the monks of a hundred schools.

Just because of the rush for quick success and quick profit, the first emperor collapsed, and the Chen Dynasty also died.

Although the Chen Dynasty Guozuo was short, Chen Zhixin followed, and Emperor Taizu inherited and improved the system of Chen Shi Huang.

After 20 years of recuperation and recuperation, 20 years of dormancy, Emperor Taizu suddenly killed Guo Xie in the 20th year of the Apocalypse, destroyed Moxia, Xie Hou won, deposed the hundred schools of thought by thunderous means, respected the Daomen alone, founded the Holy Religion, educated the people, and greatly promoted the learning of the Daomen.

In order to weaken the power of the world's gate lords, so that the wealthy families could not "exercise the power of the state government and defeat the ministers", they opened a Taoist department to obtain monks, so that the cultivators in the world's enlightened places were proud to be protégés of the Son of Heaven.

So in the Taizong period, Taizong looked at the monks who participated in the big test like carp crossing the river, and then said the famous sentence:

"The heroes of the world are all in my place!"

.....................

Shen Buyi did not enter the gate, but continued to walk towards a Daotong square in front of him, he really wanted to enter the gate, but if you want to enter the mountain gate, you must first pass the test of the Daotong Stone, and you must be a sergeant or at least a sergeant to enter the gate.

Walking through a section of three-foot road paved with bluestone, I found that there were so many people who came to take the big exam, although the situation in the Western Wilderness is unstable now, but the tense situation did not extinguish everyone's enthusiasm for the exam, Shen Buyi could not think that there must be many people who want to apply for the exam, but he didn't expect that it would be so terrifying, just like the mythical candle dragon, from the far away square center of the road hall all the way to the end of the three-foot road, and through a dead forest in the middle.

Maybe it's nervousness, maybe it's too crowded, or maybe it's the cold wind, and some people's small faces are like dead leaves invaded by frost, a little red.

Someone kept entering the building called the Daotong Hall to participate in the evaluation, and soon some people came out of the building, all young men and girls, some of them were disappointed, some were happy.

Those who were disappointed must have not passed the assessment of the Dao Tongshi, and could only leave with a bitter face, or leave dejectedly, as for those who were happy, they passed the assessment, and happily took their qualification certification and identity to the Hongdao West Wilderness Academy to register, of course, there are also some people whose talent certification is not so good, and they went to the Wukui Academy with some sighs to register their names.

Looking at the crowd of people who failed the assessment and left in despair, those in the long queue couldn't help but get nervous and held their breath, and the sound of needles falling could be heard quietly in the long line.

"Yo" Suddenly, a long cry sounded in Shen Buyi's ears, and the sound was so sharp that Shen Buyi's ears tingled.

"Isn't this Shen Buyi, what are you doing here?"

I saw a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a gray brocade robe, a golden belt, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and there was a hint of a smile, I don't know when he stood in front of Shen Buyi, and there were several young people of the same age around the young man, wearing the same brocade robe, but obviously the young man who spoke was the head of the horse, the slender figure of the young man matched the robe of the Hongdao Academy, and he was heroic, but he was very mean when he spoke.

"I'll take a test!"

Shen Buyi said with the person's provocative gaze.

Seeing Shen Buyi's unhurried answer, the young man was also slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, walked up to Shen Buyi, put his mouth close to Shen Buyi's ear, and said in an inaudible voice:

"Shen Buyi, don't be arrogant, you are just an illegitimate child, you killed He Anzhi. Now I don't bother with you, and those who know each other will go back to your broken yard, or I will be embarrassed by you when I pass the stone. ”

After the young man finished speaking, he didn't wait for Shen Buyi to answer, patted Shen Buyi's shoulder with his hand, and stood aside, looking at Shen Buyi with a playful look.

Shen Buyi's face was cold, he didn't make any moves, he was still in line, but he thought in his heart: "This Li Daozong, it's really ghostly! One day, I will kill you." ”

When he was a child, because he lived in the same street and alley, everyone knew the roots, and Li Daozong often insulted Shen Buyi in front of people, saying that Shen Buyi was an illegitimate child and that he was a wild seed. So the two often fight, Li Daozong is two years older than Shen Buyi, and Shen Buyi is frail and sickly, so Shen Buyi is humiliated by Li Daozong every time, but Shen Buyi is the kind of person who doesn't want to die when he fights.

If you look closely at the young man in the brocade robe, you will find that half of his right ear is already missing, that is, when Shen Buyi was eight years old, Li Daozong led a few people from the east of the city to the west of the city to find Shen Buyi's bad luck.

Shen Buyi was forced into a corner, and the blood from the beating did not stop, in a hurry, Shen Buyi jumped up, hugged Li Daozong's head, and it was a random bite, and the missing half of Li Daozong's ears were bitten off by Shen Buyi that time, and he also chewed the bitten half of the ears in his mouth a few times, and then swallowed it directly into his stomach, which frightened Li Daozong, who was ten years old at the time, turned pale and forgot the pain of folding his ears.

As for what Li Daozong said, He Anzhi is Shen Buyi's nominal father. But when Shen Buyi was very young, he was told by his mother that Shen Buyi's father was actually someone else.

Regardless of human morality, Shen Buyi's mother was originally an official eunuch, and when she was ten years old, her family changed dramatically and was accepted as an official slave, but unfortunately her luck was not good, and the official family that accepted Shen Buyi's mother's slave also committed a bad crime.

Shen Buyi's mother, because she knew a few words and had a little looks, was redeemed by He Anzhi's family at the age of twelve for a small price, and was raised as He Anzhi's concubine.

It's sad and lamentable, I didn't wait for the turn of fate to change, but it was another nightmare.

The He family was originally a rich and noble family, and the days were still moist, but after He Anzhi's father died, He Anzhi had no restraints, and he was addicted to gambling like his life. Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, they can't withstand He Anzhi's toss, and later He Anzhi's eldest wife was angry but secretly eloped with someone with some furniture, so He Anzhi was even more evil after this blow, and he was infected with the vice of alcoholism, and after getting drunk, he beat Shen Buyi's mother for no reason.

It's pitiful and lamentable, young girls who are like flowers and jade are often beaten because they are discolored and scarred.

Maybe it was because he was tortured for a long time and injured his body, or maybe He Anzhi was addicted to alcohol, gambling, and hollowed out his body, and the two lived for ten years without any heirs.

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, so He Anzhi's treatment of Shen Buyi's mother is even more vicious.

Later, Shen Buyi heard his mother say that on a thunderous night, his mother hid in the Temple of Our Lady of Tin Hau on the outskirts of Cannes because she couldn't bear He Anzhi's humiliation, and she actually met a man there.

But what is embarrassing is that after a night of lingering, the mysterious man actually said goodbye, and Shen Buyi's mother had no choice but to return to He An's house, but she had no intention of planting willows and willows.

But the situation has not changed at all, even if he is pregnant, he has a small fight in three days and a big fight in five days. Because of this, Shen Buyi's mother once wanted to kill He Anzhi more than once, but she was afraid of being tracked down by the government, so for the sake of the fetus in her womb, she kept enduring humiliation and stealing her life.

Maybe it was in the mother's womb, the mother was humiliated and beaten too much, and the fetal gas was injured, Shen Buyi was born in poor health, almost died early, and survived by luck, but the meridians were also broken, and the cultivation was hopeless.

Shen Buyi didn't take care of the brocade-robed young man anymore, but walked straight to the bottom of the dead trees with the long line, and the brocade-robed young man saw that Shen Buyi didn't leave the long team according to his words, but walked forward, his face was also a little indifferent, but he secretly said in his heart:

"Okay, you're not easy, since you don't listen to people, don't blame me for not saving face for you, wait under that road stone, if you are a sergeant, no, it would be better if you were a sergeant like me, I want to see your identity as an illegitimate child, how to enter my Hongdao Academy, even if you are a genius, you can only be disgraced and disgraced. ”

"The feeling of falling from heaven to hell must be very refreshing!"

"Hmph, hum, hum", the brocade-robed young man felt very happy when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but let out a few yin laughs.

The cold wind is sluggish, the leaves are falling, Shen Buyi used his fingers to stick a yellow leaf that fell from under the tree, and said that the leaves fell back to the roots, so what about the tree that dropped his own leaves?

Thinking of He Anzhi's beating of his mother and himself when he was a child, Shen Buyi's eyes were a little moist.

"Fortunately, the dog was killed, otherwise I would have been tortured by him all these years. ”

"But who helped me kill him?"

He Anzhi's original appearance was vulgar, and even a little ugly, and although Shen Buyi was not very handsome since he was a child, he was at least middle-class, and he didn't have any He Anzhi's appearance in his appearance at all. Therefore, there are inevitably some cool words in the market:

"Shen Buyi's mother must be stealing a man, you see that child is not like He An at all. ”

"Shen Buyi is a wild seed. ”

In short, these rumors and rumors came into He Anzhi's ears, which was a nightmare for the mother and son, and later even worse, when Shen Buyi was six years old, Shen Buyi's mother was humiliated to death by He Anzhi, so Shen Buyi has an unforgettable hatred for He Anzhi, and he can't eat his flesh and suck his marrow.

"I will definitely cultivate my supernatural powers, mother, you have to believe me. ”

Shen Buyi said in his heart.

Although he is very aware of his physical condition, Shen Buyi still has inexplicable confidence in himself, and he doesn't know where his confidence comes from.

The long line slowly moved forward, and Shen Buyi finally walked into the Daotong Hall and accepted the test of the Daotong Stone.

The so-called "road stone" , is the Xin Dynasty Taizu years, there are supernatural powers in the depths of the East China Sea on an island found a spiritual vein, and then use a variety of magical powers to refine the spiritual vein, get a strange spirit stone eighty-one, these spiritual stones have a wonderful use, is they contain pure spiritual power, and someone after meeting, the spiritual power will be separated into a wisp, into the human body, perceive the strength of his three treasures (essence and spirit), so as to identify the person's cultivation talent, the better the talent, the brighter the stone, after a long period of practice, the cardinal body has summarized a set of effective rules, according to the brightness of the stone, to identify a person's talent。

The seventy-two states of the Xin Dynasty, in the state capital of each state, there is a Daotong Palace, there is a Daotong Stone in the hall, and the Daotong Hall is open once every three years, because of the three-year examination, there are too many people in each state to refer to it, so the use of Daotong Stone to help the cardinal body identify the cultivation talent of the people who take the exam in each state is also the first process of the big examination over the years.

Someone kept touching the stone with their hands, either bright or extinguished, some people got the aptitude certification, and some people were indifferently signaled to leave.

At this time, Shen Buyi was already very close to the Daotong Stone, there was only one person in front of him, a young man wearing a thin coarse cloth clothes, the young man directly stretched out his hand and put his palm on the Daotong Stone, and in an instant, the dark stone was bright.

"Sergeant's seniority, next. A teacher from the Faculty of Education shouted loudly.

At this moment, the brocade-robed young man named Li Daozong also walked to the main hall with a gloomy face, walked to the side of a person dressed in the uniform of the Hongdao Academy, bowed, and regarded it as a salute, and the Hongdao Academy supervisor was talking about something with the Wukui Academy supervisor at this time.

Li Daozong didn't know what to say to the two of them, and both of them looked up at Shen Buyi in unison.

Finally arrived at Shen Buyi, Shen Buyi took a deep breath, and then gently put a hand on the Qi people-high Daotong stone.

The somewhat rough Daotong Stone, after Shen Buyi put his hand on it, glowed with a faint light, a little faint, as if it was going to be extinguished at any time.

"Well, corporal, corporal. ”

"Next"

The teacher of the cardinal office hesitated for a moment, and then sang again.

The brocade-robed young man looked at Shen Buyi walking through the stone, and his mood suddenly became much happier for no reason.

"Is the corporal a corporal?

Thinking of this, the brocade-robed young man's face was also full of schadenfreude. He turned around and said goodbye to the superintendent of the Hong Daoist Academy, and walked out of the Daotong Hall happily, and no longer looked at Na Shen Buyi.

The Daxin Dynasty established the country with Taoism, and its people were hundreds of millions of trillions, and it was impossible for everyone to practice, so the dynasty divided the monks in the world into upper, middle and lower three scholars, and used the Taoist stone as a medium to distinguish people's cultivation assets.

The capital of the sergeant can enter the first-class Hongdao Academy to study, and the dynasty will be equipped with the best teachers to provide a sufficient amount of spars, so that these people can become the pillars of the country, the pillar of the country, and the best of them have more opportunities to get the avenue and feather to ascend to the immortals, so the people also call the people with the qualifications of the sergeant the talent of the ascending ruins.

Of course, people with sergeant qualifications can also enter the Hongdao Academy to study, but after all, the talent is not as amazing as the people with the qualifications of the sergeant, so there is no way to compete with those geniuses on the way to the avenue.

Therefore, after graduating from the Hongdao Academy, although there is no possibility of becoming a great road, after passing the special competition and assessment, they can enter the yamen at all levels of the dynasty according to their ability and become middle and high-level officials.

And the corporal's qualifications, compared with the first two, its treatment is the difference between cloud and mud, can only enter the military opened by the Wukui Academy, after learning a variety of martial arts, you can enter the army, become a strong pawn, you can get a salary, this is for many children from a poor family, since God did not give himself the talent of a sergeant, sergeant, then becoming a soldier, is also a good choice, if you work hard, and have luck, slowly boil in the army, you can also become a low-level commander, if there is a meritorious career, the court will also reward a few additional longevity pills, you can make yourself and your family life is different from ordinary people。

Shen Buyi did not take the certificate of his corporal qualification to report to the Wukui Academy, but turned around and left directly.

It's not that he was disappointed in his own corporal qualifications, on the contrary, when he was six years old, he was diagnosed by someone: the meridians were naturally blocked, and there was no hope of lifelong cultivation.

But over the years, Shen Buyi has found a lot of methods from books, and he has also eaten a lot of spiritual grass that he has collected to strengthen his body, and has constantly trained his own physique.

Although the corporal's qualifications are disappointing for many children of rich and noble families, it is not worth mentioning, and today there are many children of rich and noble families, after being assessed as corporals, they turned around and left directly, and did not report to the Wukui Academy.

But for Shen Buyi, he himself is still satisfied with this result.

At least it proves that as long as he works hard, he can also make progress slowly, although he is very weak, but God rewards hard work, although the road is difficult, he still has to work hard to go on.

Of course, he didn't go to Wukui Academy to report, there is another important reason that he is unwilling to use He Bida's identity as a spy, even if he is assessed as a sergeant by Dao Tongshi today, he will not use that Wen Spy, go to Hongdao Academy, his mother was killed by He Anzhi, although the mysterious person gave him He Bida's identity as a spy, but how could he recognize the thief as his father?
