Chapter 038: Honest Duty (Part II)
"Yes, it's you, don't look at it, come here, pay 150 taels of silver first......"
&*%^&%%$#%#%@@&*(&*&*
Guan Xiao's heart was full of flames that pumped him and pumped him hard.
However, after turning around and seeing the person who shouted him, Guan Xiao's anger calmed down a little - behind the big table not far away, stood a female cultivator in her twenties, with delicate eyebrows, a faint smile on her face, and a blue ribbon tied around her waist.
Guan Xiao has lived in a male mammal environment since he was a child, and when he saw a woman, his momentum immediately weakened by three points, and when he saw the concerned eyes of the female monk, his momentum weakened by two points.
Although Yan Caiju is a third-generation disciple and only a third-class disciple, she is an important person in the Heavenly Master Sect - her ancestor Yan Pu was originally the most important advisor under the department master Zhang Lu, and after Yan Pu's death, the clan entrusted it to Zhang Lumen. Yan Caiju's mother had fetal gas when she was pregnant because of the internal affairs of the church, so Yan Caiju was born unsuitable for cultivation. Originally, with the status of the Yan family, it was easy to let her granddaughter worship under the Changzhi Sect, but the Yan family knew how to advance and retreat in history, and they did not expect Yan Caiju to eventually become an immortal, but arranged for her to worship under the second-generation disciples who were better at pills in the sect.
Today, Yan Caiju is the general manager here.
"Oh. Guan Xiao could only respond in a low voice, walked over, took out a jade talisman and dozens of taels of silver, handed it over, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yan Caiju again: "Come and sign." ”
Usually seeing a lot of handsome and chic and gentle disciples in the sect, Yang Caiju didn't know how, looking at the ordinary little boy in front of him who was a little unhappy, he felt more concerned in his heart.
Alas...... People had to bow their heads under the eaves, Guan Xiao sighed in his heart, lifted the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote more than ten neat small characters on the designated position: "Guan Xiao delivered one hundred and fifty taels of silver." ”
Yan Caiju looked down: "Little guy, the words are good?" ”
Guan Xiao smiled helplessly, he studied under several famous contemporary calligraphers, the smallest can write fly-headed small letters, as big as grasping the pen to write a rock seal, coupled with the unique finger skills of the thief, every word is powerful through the back of the paper. Only, what's the use of this? I haven't heard of any sages who became immortals and sanctified because of their good calligraphy.
"Wait. Yan Caiju shouted Guan Xiao again: "The handwriting is so good, just come and be a helper, there are a lot of new disciples today, and I can't be busy." ”
"Okay. Guan Xiao could only nod and sit over.
"Little white face, I'll go first. Hei Yu said hello and followed a third-generation disciple away, it turned out to be the direction of Neishan Gate, Guan Xiao's nose was slightly sour, alas...... From now on, I may not be able to see each other again.
Sad regret is sad regret, Guan Xiao can't leave anything in his hands, his right hand brushes a little record, no matter the name of the reincarnable, he can write it out; The people who came to sign up were not all wealthy families, many people handed over the bits and pieces of silver with big copper, Guan Xiao could tell it clearly at a glance, it should be collected, it should be found, and the number of clothes changed in the back, all the pens and pens were clear.
"Little guy, is your arithmetic good?" Yan Caiju was very pleased, in Xintu, it is not difficult to find a scholar who writes well, but it is quite rare to find a person with strong arithmetic like Guan Xiao, especially like this little guy, who is dedicated to three purposes, this is a rare talent.
Yiduo is not pressed, such a character, no matter where he goes, from the family to the Xiuzhen faction will be very interested.
Yan Caiju thought about it, asked Guan Xiao's jade talisman over, and a spiritual trick was hit, and the word Geng became his own word...... casually picked up another piece of rice paper and wrote a few small words on it: "Extremely strong in arithmetic, Geng and so on." ”
Guan Xiao read these words, and his tears finally couldn't hold back, and he fell!
In Guan Xiao's few years of study, he always heard a truth from his teacher: "Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, and you are not afraid to go all over the world." When I grew up, I realized: "It is better to have a good father than to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry." ”
For this matter, Guan Xiao has always complained that the enlightenment teacher deceived his young and simple heart. But...... Now he knows that the teacher really didn't lie to him.
Xuan paper was immediately sent to the back hall by a helping third-generation disciple, before the formal apprenticeship, it is normal for the disciple's level to rise and fall, but Guan Xiao's explanation is a bit special, because there was a description of Guan Xiao before, and the two instructions together are a little interesting: "Shang Ke, simple and honest, temperament." Arithmetic is extremely strong, and Geng is promoted to self-esteem. ”
A young man with a simple and honest temperament, and strong arithmetic, these two characteristics are very interesting when put together.
No matter how powerful a cultivator is, as long as he has not yet entered the immortal realm, he is a mortal. In the same way, no matter how powerful the cultivation sect is, it also needs money to maintain it, and it also needs someone to take care of the business.
A talent like Guan Xiao joined the sect when he was more than ten years old, to say that he is at least a qualified bookkeeper, with a little training, he may be the steward of Nanlong City, if there are some achievements in cultivation, even if it is just Bigu, a hundred years later, all the money, materials, geniuses, and earth treasures of the entire Heavenly Master Sect may be in his charge - several generations of disciples led by him have the same idea.
Sweat...... Giving a thousand-year-old sect hundreds of millions of dollars, including all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, to a disciple of the head of the thief sect to take charge of it, there is probably nothing more creative in the world than this idea. If Guan Xiao knew the news, he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep happily at night.
To become a disciple, you have to take more exams - these great sects of cultivation have stood for thousands of years, and there are inevitable reasons, and it is very important to strictly select the best disciples.
Early the next morning, Guan Xiao was ready to help again, but was told that he needed to take the sensitivity test.
Sensitivity is very important for people who cultivate true qi and refine qi, if the sensitivity is too poor, then alchemy, refining tools, including spiritual formulas, do not need to hope to achieve much success; on the contrary, even if the root bones are average, but the sensitivity is good, it is easy to become an alchemist.
The location of the sensitivity test was in a separate lobby, each batch of 20 people, each with two hourglasses in front of them, one of which was a timer, and the other hourglass was blocked, filled with sand and millet grains.
The three generations of disciples who presided over briefly explained: all the disciples must first flip the hourglass, start the timing, and then pull out the other hourglass plug, the sand and millet grains will naturally fall, and the disciples can only pick the millet grains to the plate with their hands, one more grain of sand minus one grain of millet, if the number is less than 60 grains, then it will be lowered to Geng, etc.
In history, the highest record for this test is 207 grains, which was created by a 9-year-old girl more than 700 years ago, and the little girl of that year has already passed away.
Of course, Guan Xiao didn't know the history of these new soils, but the little guy who had been angry in Xintu decided to show himself well - with Guan Xiao's strength, he could use his fingers to hook out the grains of rice the moment the sand and rice grains fell. It's just that if he really does this kind of similar performance, Guan Xiao is very worried about being recognized as a disciple of the thief sect.
For a while, the little guy couldn't decide whether it was really shocking once.
