Chapter 432: Strange Interview, Supplemental Signing
Zhao Sihai's luck was good, he met a caravan going to Cangshan County halfway, although he was wilted, he had the right idea, and fell not far behind the caravan to accompany him. When the caravan had been gone for a day and set up camp, he took the initiative to go over and help lead the cattle, feed the fodder, and do some chores with all his might.
One of the stewards of the caravan, seeing that he was honest and willing to work, crossed his roots again, and felt that there was no problem, so he let him go north with the procession.
The caravan's footsteps were relatively slow, and when Zhao Sihai arrived at Wild Wolf Town, the opening ceremony of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts had already ended for half a month. Only Hua Ci Peak still has a temporary recruitment office in Wild Wolf Town, and Zhao Sihai's spiritual root and roots are no problem, but he was successfully recruited by Hua Ci Peak into a miscellaneous servant. Although the miscellaneous servants of Hua Ci Peak only eat and live and do not pay monthly salaries, they also have the advantage of allowing the cultivation of certain basic exercises of the sect.
When Zhao Sihai went to the Beaver Peak, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his two younger brothers had also gone to the Beaver Peak to do miscellaneous work before him. Brothers reunited, naturally happy, Zhao Fifth Brother and Zhao Xiaoliu are all working in the giant door department, although it is hard, but they can always get some small benefits, pick up some scraps from the construction site every day, and they can also exchange money.
Zhao Sihai was assigned to the Lingtian of the Houshan Lian Zhen Department, and the main job was to dig manure from the pig farm, which was not only hard, but also had no benefits to touch every day except for a stinky body. Zhao Sihai was depressed in his heart, and his two younger brothers often threw some cool words at him, saying that he shouldn't have secretly run down the mountain from his father, how good it was to be an open-pulse monk at home and be offered by others, why bother to go to the mountain to suffer this crime?
At this time, Zhao Sihai could only use the words of encouragement from the great elder Yin of the Lian Zhen Department to cheer himself up. Elder Yin said that when the pig farm is started in the future, the "elders" of the pig farm will be able to share a share of the pig farm, and according to the profitability of the pig farm, there will be a good dividend every year.
The two younger brothers laughed at him and said, "Your Great Elder Yin is simply a dog who lifts the curtain, and now he will draw a big cake for you, let you die for him, and at the end of the year, you will be counted as a bonus with two truckloads of pig manure!"
Zhao Sihai was bitter in his heart, and he couldn't complain about his younger brothers' mouth damage, and he didn't believe in Elder Yin's promise, the reason why he was able to insist on digging dung every day was because there was another hope in his heart, that is, the upcoming Shanmen Competition. I heard that this time the mountain gate competition was personally run by the elder Yin of the headquarters, and shouted the slogan of "eclectic and talented" that was mentioned in Wild Wolf Town, not only the inner and outer disciples can participate, but also the servants and miscellaneous servants and even the registered disciples can participate.
Zhao Sihai felt that for a monk with spiritual root qualifications like him, this big exam was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Later, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion began to distribute the enlightenment poem "Dao Shallow Collection" of Yunshang Ancestor for free, Zhao Sihai was not qualified to go to the Zangjing Pavilion to receive the "Dao Shallow Collection", so he borrowed a copy from Hu Laoqi, who was in charge of the Lingshan Mountain in the back mountain, and spent a day and a night, hand-copied a book, whether it was digging dung every day, pulling a cart, fertilizing and watering the spiritual field, and always reciting it in his mouth.
I didn't know that on the day of the big exam, I received Dabi's test paper and realized that my efforts were in vain, and most of the content had nothing to do with "Dao Shallow Collection". Zhao Sihai tried his best, but only answered a small part of the questions. Thinking that he disobeyed his father's order and secretly left the house, he worked hard all the way, endured the stench in the back mountain, and worked as a dung digger for more than half a year, but in the end he was still busy in vain. He couldn't help but be depressed and indignant in his heart, and he was so excited that he wrote an article in the blank space on the volume, counting the various drawbacks of the world's sects in selecting talents with poor spiritual roots.
When the exam papers were handed in, although Zhao Sihai felt relieved, he was also ready to be kicked out of the mountain gate at any time.
It wasn't until the end of the old ancestor's judgment paper and the beginning of the interview among the disciples and servants that Zhao Sihai's mood gradually relaxed, and he thought to himself: Maybe the so-called "eclectic talent reduction" is just a gimmick to buy people's hearts, how can anyone pay attention to the examination papers of their servants and miscellaneous servants, maybe they will be directly dragged to the kitchen to burn the fire.
After he came back, he told him quite proudly that the examiner had personally promised that with his qualifications, he would have a great future and would consider transferring him to a brigade called the "demolition team" under the Ancestor Office, and that he would not only be in charge of food and housing, but also a reward of a golden leaf every month! This was the same treatment as several other peaks and outer disciples, and Zhao Xiaoliu was very excited, and he would talk about it when he saw people.
Two days later, Fifth Brother Zhao was also called for an interview, and he even got an empty promise from the demolition team.
This made Zhao Sihai really envious for several days, and said in his heart: Although the two younger brothers Linggen are not good, they also take advantage of their strength.
Half a month later, just when Zhao Sihai had no hope for the interview, he finally got news from the ancestor office and asked him to participate in the interview. The examiner was a red-clothed female cultivator with a fat body and a full face, and she didn't say who she was, but she even sent him another test paper and asked him to answer the question. The questions on this paper are not difficult, but they are strange, they are all questions such as: "Do you greet someone you want to greet someone you hate from a distance on the street, or do you deliberately avoid it?" The requirement was to answer quickly without thinking, and in a matter of moments, dozens of such strange questions were answered.
After answering the papers, the red-clothed nun conducted a one-on-one one-on-one questioning, and the questions were very detailed, including his thoughts when he sneaked away from home.
In the end, the nun in red only told him to go back and listen to Xin'er, so she sent him back.
Zhao Sihai returned to the back mountain in a daze, and the two younger brothers asked him what kind of errand promise he had received? Zhao Sihai told the truth, but Zhao Xiaoliu and Zhao Fifth Brother didn't believe it.
After waiting for another two days, the ancestor office actually called him to the interview again, this time the examiner was a guy covered in gray-white scales, Zhao Sihai only glanced at him and avoided his gaze uncomfortably. The question asked by the scaly guy was even more strange, he actually found a few vendors who set up stalls on the street, shouted and sold in the house, and then asked Zhao Sihai to imitate the posture and language of these vendors, and also came to shout and shout.
Zhao Sihai is introverted, and he rejects this kind of thing in his bones, so he can only go through it for the sake of the road. Back in the back mountain, the two brothers were waiting here early and asked him what he was doing in the second interview.
Zhao Sihai remembered that before he came back, the scaly-skinned man told him not to reveal half a word about the interview, so he casually made up some questions and prevaricated.
(This is a reward for the alliance leader who clearly loves you A but can't meet.) )
