There is a large river that runs around the east end of the town and spreads to the middle of nowhere.

The night is quiet, but it is obviously not the case in Honglan Town, the riverside is brightly lit, boats of different sizes, walking slowly in the water, the bamboo curtain is slightly rolled, and there is a girl sitting inside, the sound of skillfully pinching the silk bamboo into the ears, or there are three or two people sitting on the side drinking and laughing, and there are also people who sail the boat to the shore, noisily to go ashore.

Every five years, the Yuanshan Sect set up a 'big policy', and opened the mountain gate to recruit disciples from Yuzhou.

It was the days of the Yuanshan Sect's 'Great Strategy' that made this small town located at the foot of the mountain even more lively.

Like every night in the past month, Chen Anzhi closed his eyes and meditated on the falling night and the moonlight scattered in the heights, and in his own world, he pulled the aura, until the sky was slightly bright, and the rooster crowed three times, and he did not open his eyes.

It's still a futile move.

After making a cup of tea in the front hall of the inn, Chen An drank it all, frowned, tidied up his clothes, and walked out.

He had a place in his heart, which was set up by the Yuanshan Sect in Honglan Town, and was used to conduct the preliminary screening of disciples and recruit miscellaneous servants.

Three thousand years ago, in the dark turmoil, He Immortal saved the world, re-established the Yuanshan Sect, set up the rules, asked the immortals to ask the heart, talent is important, but more important is the state of mind, and the standard for judging this is 'Ask the Daofang'.

Everyone needs to serve, immortals are also people, monks who are immersed in cultivation all day long need miscellaneous servants to take care of trivial matters, Chen Anzhi is now the foundation of the Great Dao is broken, it is obviously impossible to enter the mountain as a disciple, not to mention talent, just talking about age is already outdated, not to mention that he doesn't want to be eye-catching.

When he went to Wendaofang, Chen Anzhi had already thought that there must be a lot of people, but he didn't expect that there would be so many to such a terrifying level, at this time, late at night, the streets were already bustling, and the queue circled several times like a long line, and even lined up to another street.

Even the team that recruits miscellaneous servants has as many as hundreds of people.

It is also said that the Yuanshan Sect is the one who holds the bull's ear in Yuzhou, not to mention the fortunate thing of becoming a disciple, that is, serving the immortals as a handyman, and listening to one or two words of the immortals on one side, it is also of great benefit to itself.

The young men and women waiting in line were dressed in gold silk and satin, or coarse linen, or proud, or submissive, but the only thing they had in common was that they were all young.

So when Chen Anzhi came here, he always looked a little out of place, and several eyes fell on him, which made this man who didn't like to be lively a little uncomfortable.

"He looks like he's in his twenties, right? ”

"As soon as I saw him like this, I knew that he would definitely not pass the test, and if I hadn't been so self-conscious, I would have left early, saving me time here. ”

"Yes, you see him bowing his head and cowering, at first glance, he is still in the dust, and he still dares to come to the Far Mountain Sect? Where does he think this is?"

"However, this man is a little good-looking, and he is not useless. ”

"What's the matter, brother, hello Longyang's fetish? Why don't I buy him for a few dozen taels of silver and give it to you?"

Chen Anzhi walked through the crowd, listening to some ridicule and ridicule, his brows were slightly raised, he only felt that his ears were dirty, and his mood did not fluctuate, after all, he was a person who had lived for thousands of years, if he had been angry because of these words, he would have died of anger three thousand years ago.

It's just too noisy, and it's still a little uncomfortable.

Especially when he walked to the team recruiting miscellaneous servants, the voices were louder and louder.

Chen Anzhi's face was as quiet as usual, although the people in line here were a little surprised, but they didn't make any noise, their eyes stayed for a moment, and then whispered to their companions. Chen Anzhi didn't know anyone, and even if he did, he didn't bother to chat, he looked at the buildings in the distance.

There are constantly people who come out of the Wendao workshop, all of them are teenagers and girls, but the first interrogators are dejected, and even more have burst into tears.

The crowd kept moving forward, and the ranks for the handymen were neither long nor short.

Entering the gate of the Taoist Workshop is a particularly wide courtyard, a bay of turquoise waterholes, clear and quiet like a mirror, and the shadow of the pavilion of the Taoist Workshop is clearly visible.

To the left, there is an avenue leading to the pavilion of the Asking Daofang, which is the way to recruit disciples.

Walking only a hundred steps to the right, avoiding the waterhole, there is a wide open space, there is a wooden table, and there are some papers scattered on the table, and Li Yi is sitting at the table in every kind of boredom.

The Yuanshan Sect holds a 'big policy' every three years, opens the mountain gate, and recruits disciples from the world.

Today is the last day of Da Ce, and even the number of people who come to report for miscellaneous work has not decreased in the slightest.

Just had to rest for a while, Li Yi, who was resting on the desk, heard footsteps in front of him, and without raising his head, he picked up a brush and dipped it in ink in the inkstone, and asked, "Name?"

"Chen Anzhi. ”

"Age. ”

"Twenty-three years old. ”

"Twenty-three?"

Li Yi's eyebrows furrowed, slightly surprised, and raised his head.

I saw that the man was dressed in a Taoist robe like snow embroidered silk, and his face was adorned with double star eyes, and the most surprising thing was that the eyes were exceptionally calm, as if he had experienced thousands of years to see through the dust.

Li Yi put down the pen, hesitated for a moment and picked it up again and asked: "You are so old, you still have to come to the sect to do chores?" You must know that most of the people who come here are slightly younger, in order to listen to one or two when doing chores in the sect, and find a way to step on the immortal road in the future, you are your age..."

"It doesn't matter. Chen Anzhi looked into the distance and said casually, "I just want to do chores, that's all." ”

Li Yi rolled his eyes, thinking that the young man in front of him did not live in a rural place and had never seen anything in the world, but looking at the clothes or something, he looked like a rich and noble family, but this rich and noble brother did not stay at home to make a living, and he wanted to come to the present to be called by others, probably because his spirit was a little abnormal.

So Li Yi's voice rose and said: "I see that you are richly dressed, you should be the son of a big family, I'm afraid you can't stand the pain of being called by others." ”

Chen Anzhi was happy, and his gaze fell on the person in front of him from afar, and chuckled: "Now that the Far Mountain Sect recruits miscellaneous servants, do you pay attention to your background?"

"I'm advising you not to waste it, how come you don't know what to do!" Li Yi was slightly angry when he heard this, handed out a dark ruler, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, hold the stone, measure your talent!"

Chen Anzhi couldn't cry or laugh, and under the young man's dissatisfied complaints, he held the stone, and after about five breaths, there was no change in the long ruler.

He held the ruler and clearly felt that a familiar and unfamiliar breath came from the ruler's body, secreting and calculating, wandering through his own meridians, and then submerging into the hot heart in his chest.

Without any light, Chen Anzhi took a breath, handed the ruler to Li Yi, and a smile of unknown meaning quietly passed by, "What's next?"

Li Yi frowned slightly, looked at the quietly dull ruler, and persuaded: "There is no soul, no soul, no trace of aura, you better go back, there is no chance." ”

Chen Anzhi's expression did not change, and he repeated his previous words: "I just want to do chores, that's all." ”

"Let's go and ask questions. After hesitating for a long time, Li Yi looked at the indifferent eyes, raised the brush and wrote the words "soulless and soulless" on the table, and handed it to the young man.

At the end of winter, the clouds were faint in Honglan Town, and the slanting wind and drizzle fell at this time, crackling and smashing on the roofs, streets, and sails.

The sound was not loud, but it had just covered out the faint crackling sound of the ruler.

Inside the dark ruler, there were tiny cracks that were imperceptible.

After the soul test, there is a question and answer, which is to ask about the state of mind and understanding.

For cultivating immortals, talent is important, mood is important, and the comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the various states of the world is also essential.

He Xianren was born in Confucianism, and he attaches great importance to understanding, so although he has a low talent, he is not incapable of being included in the door if he has good mental understanding, so even if he is a miscellaneous servant of the Yuanshan Sect, he must pass the level of mood.

There are nineteen main peaks in the Yuanshan Sect, and there are nineteen pavilions located on the top of the peaks respectively, and the white clouds surround the pavilions halfway up, so that people can't see the true face of the top of the building.

Each pavilion is a lineage, and the disciples of the sect descend according to the size of the number.

Xu is air on the mountain is dull, Xu is a little bored, this time Dace is responsible for the miscellaneous servants to ask the heart of the first seat on the nineteenth floor - Xue Changyi.

There are often so-called geniuses in the world who have realized the Tao and mediocre people who have practiced for a hundred years. Although it is difficult to find a famous teacher, but disciples with superior qualifications are also rare, the nineteenth floor has always been the weakest vein in the Yuanshan Sect, and when a disciple with superior qualifications appears, it is not the turn of the nineteenth floor to fight, so down, Xue Changyi is also downspised by this, and it is not bad to have more leisure to pick a few clever handymen in the building, maybe he can also pick up a few plastic talents with excellent understanding.

It's just that these days, Mo said that he picked up a few, and he didn't even have a person with a sense of perfection, thinking about it like this, Xue Changyi couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, when Chen Anzhi walked into the building, his eyes lit up first, and he was surprised by the other party's handsome appearance, and after taking the form, he was even more surprised.

"No soul and no soul?" Xue Changyi exclaimed in surprise.

When the words landed, a light laugh came from the surrounding disciples.

Xue Changyi coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and motioned for Chen An to step forward, "I'll take the test." ”

Chen Anzhi touched the tip of his nose and handed out a hand as he commanded.

Xue Changyi's index finger and middle finger were put together, put it on the young man's wrist, the expression on his face gradually became solemn, he retracted his hand, stared at Chen Anzhi's eyes tightly, and slowly spoke: "The foundation of the Great Dao is shattered, what have you experienced?"

Chen Anzhi raised his eyebrows, not surprised by this, "A lot of things." ”

"I don't care what happened to you before, but if you enter the gate of the Far Mountain Sect, you must not have two hearts. Xue Changyi said.

Chen Anzhi nodded and did not speak.

Xue Changyi was stunned, as if he was a little surprised by the man's indifferent appearance, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice: "Then let me ask you, what is the world?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.

It sounds like it's just a simple question, and if it comes from the mouths of ordinary people, it's just drunken ravings, and idle talk over tea.

But this sentence is a very heavy sentence for the disciples of the Yuanshan Sect, for the Yuanshan Sect, and even for the entire people walking on the avenue, this is a sentence that He Xianren, Lu Mingxian, and Jiang Chuyi made when they discussed the Tao.

Chen Anzhi laughed for no reason, his bright smile was like a red plum blooming in the snow, and if there were stars in his eyes, he said: "What is the world? ”

There is no record of what He Xianren said back then.

It's just that after the dark turmoil of three thousand years ago passed, Haoran Tianxia was gone, and it was replaced by the righteous world of He Xianren.

So many people are saying that He Xianren's answer at that time was that there are nine thousand ways of luck in the world, and only righteousness should be the head.

But Chen Anzhi knew.

He knew that He Xianren never wanted any name in front of the word "world", because the world belongs to everyone, regardless of men and women, old and young, everyone is the lord of the world.
