The Dao test is actually the same as the written test, both of which call everyone to come to Chongyang Hall for the exam, but one test is "Tao Strategy", and the other is the understanding of "Dao".

Since it is a test of the Tao, the Tao Te Ching is naturally the first choice. Zhao Xuan and Ma Yu's "Tao Te Ching" Chapter 25: "I will want to take the world and do it, I see that it has no choice." The world's artifact cannot be done. Those who do it lose, and those who hold it lose. Therefore, things are either walking or following, or boasting or boasting, or strong or 羸 (léi), or carrying or 隳 (hui). It is to go to the saints, to luxury, to Thailand. As a title, I sent it to all the disciples. As for how to solve the problem and how to elaborate, it is all up to the disciples to play freely.

In the end, after discussion between the two, Li Zhichang was the first, Yin Zhiping was the second, and Zhao Zhijing was the third.

In this way, Li Zhichang has two firsts, Yin Zhiping has two firsts, two second, Zhao Zhijing has two thirds, and Qi Zhicheng and Cui Zhifang have two, one second and one third. So five people, through everyone's final vote.

Of course, the right to vote is in everyone's hands, and the decision is still in the hands of Zhao Xuan and Ma Yu.

After a round of voting, Zhao Zhijing finally won the highest number of votes, winning the first place, followed by Li Zhichang and winning second, Yin Zhiping third, and Qi Zhicheng and Cui Zhifang fourth and fifth.

Originally, according to the number of votes, Zhao Zhijing should have been appointed as the substitute head of the teaching, but Ma Yu was still a little hesitant: "Uncle Shi, although Zhao Zhijing is ranked first, he has recently formed a gang, which is really against the purity of Taoism." If he is allowed to be the substitute teacher, I am afraid that ...... There will be something wrong!" In Zhao Xuan's room, Ma Yu said with an extremely worried face.

At this time, it was already the second day of the deciding list, and Ma Yu thought about it all night yesterday, but he still couldn't make up his mind: On the day he said that he would take charge of the sect on his behalf, he began to secretly observe the reactions of a group of disciples, and finally found that the reason why Zhao Zhijing won the first place was because he was the most cheerful and honest, forming all kinds of gangs and factions, and winning people's hearts, where he still looked like a Taoist priest? In the end, the reason why Li Zhichang voted more is probably because he is familiar with Zhao Xuan, and his martial arts and Taoism are tied for the first place. So after hesitating for a while, Ma Yu couldn't help but say: "According to the disciple's opinion, it is better to change Zhichang or Zhiping to be the head of this generation, as for Zhijing, ......"

"What, are you afraid that he will toss the Quanzhen Sect into a miasma?" Zhao Xuan didn't look at Ma Yu, but looked up at the roof, his eyes seemed to have crossed the boundary, and he saw a somewhat gloomy sky outside. After a long time, he said faintly: "With me, he can't play with flowers." ”

Ma Yu's face was hesitant, and he seemed to be a little uneasy, Zhao Xuan finally turned around and chuckled: "If you are really not at ease, you can let Yin Zhiping be in charge of teaching with his generation." ”

"...... that?"

"Zhichang I have other arrangements, so you don't have to worry about that. After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, he raised his head again, looking at the roof faintly as before, and then seemed to look at the sky outside.

Ma Yu's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Okay!" After speaking, there was no remorse.

He had never suspected that Zhao Xuan would do anything detrimental to the Quanzhen Sect, and he was very sure of this in the past ten years of contact. After that, Zhao Xuan went out and changed the identity of Ximen Blowing Snow, which in his opinion was to prevent the Quanzhen Sect from making enemies. In addition, he already admired Zhao Xuan's martial arts and Taoism very much, and now since Zhao Xuan wants Zhao Zhijing to serve as the acting head teacher, he must have his intentions.

Thinking of this, Ma Yu stood up and said, "The disciple will go and read out the decision, and order Yin Zhiping and Zhao Zhijing to take charge of Quanzhen together!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

When he walked to the door, Zhao Xuan's faint voice came from the room: "Zhao Zhijing...... I can't move it yet. ”

Why can't you move? Ma Yu didn't think much about it for the time being, but directly summoned his disciples, read out the decision, and ordered Zhao Zhijing and Yin Zhiping to take charge of Quanzhen on their behalf, and if there was a major event, they must report to Zhao Xuan, and then they set off directly and went to the desert.

How about the Quanzhen Sect, he believes that his uncle will definitely be able to control it!

......

In the evening, the sun was setting and the sunset was colorful, Li Zhichang was dressed in a robe and carried a long sword, and knocked on Zhao Xuan's door.

"It's Shitsune, come in. Zhao Xuan's faint voice came from the room.

Li Zhichang was not surprised how Zhao Xuan knew that it was him who came, just as a few years ago, he was not surprised why Zhao Xuan chose him to teach martial arts. With a squeak, he pushed open the door, reflexively closed the door, turned to Zhao Xuan and saluted: "Disciple see Uncle Ancestor!"

Zhao Xuan only opened his eyes at this time, and said calmly: "What's the matter with me?"

He didn't ask me if there was something wrong with him, but directly asked me if there was something wrong with him, obviously very sure that Li Zhichang was looking for him for something.

Li Zhichang said respectfully: "Back to Uncle Taishi, the disciple does have something to report." ”

Say. Zhao Xuan was just one word, and there was no emotion in his voice.

Li Zhichang's heart tightened, but he resolutely said: "The disciple thinks that Senior Brother Zhao is not suitable to serve as the acting head of the sect. ”

"He's not suitable, are you suitable?" Zhao Xuan's eyes narrowed, his face was neither happy nor angry, but it gave people a sense of oppression.

Li Zhichang breathed sluggishly, and said: "The disciple doesn't dare, it's just that the disciple thinks that Senior Brother Zhao's heart still needs to be tempered, and if he is allowed to serve as the acting head of the sect now, I'm afraid it will be a blessing or a curse for the Quanzhen Sect......"

"Nonsense!" Zhao Xuan interrupted him with a loud shout, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Li Zhichang, can't you be the acting head of the sect, and you are jealous, so you came here to tell the truth!"

Li Zhichang suddenly shook his head and said, "Senior Uncle Ancestor, the disciple doesn't dare." ”

"I don't dare, so what are you doing?" Zhao Xuan snorted coldly.

Li Zhichang gritted his teeth and said, "Returning to the master and uncle, the disciple doesn't want the Quanzhen Sect to fail......

"Then are you doubting our decision?" Zhao Xuan's eyes flashed coldly, and he narrowed slightly: "Have you told Ma Yu about this?"

"No, I thought ......"

"Hmph! It's good you didn't say it, otherwise I wouldn't have spared you. This is the end of this matter, you can go out!" Zhao Xuan interrupted Li Zhichang and closed his eyes after speaking.

Li Zhichang opened his mouth and did not speak, but he did not move.

After a long time, Zhao Xuan opened his eyes, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "What else do you have to do?"

Li Zhichang knelt down with a pout, his eyes were full of perseverance, and said, "Please also ask Senior Uncle Zu to think twice and withdraw his acceptance of Senior Brother Zhao." ”

Zhao Xuan sneered: "You have an old enmity with him?"

Li Zhichang shook his head and said, "No." ”

"New hatred?"

"No, there isn't. ”

"There is neither an old hatred nor a new hatred, why are you targeting him?"

"Uncle Shi, the disciple didn't target him, it's just what he did today, and ......"

"Alright, needless to say, you go down. ”

"If the disciple doesn't go, I hope that the master and uncle can ......"

"Li Zhichang!" Zhao Xuan screamed violently, stood up, and said awe-inspiringly: "Now, immediately, immediately, get out of here!" Otherwise, I will revoke your title as a true disciple, and you will no longer be my full-body disciple in the future!"

Li Zhichang's face turned pale, his lips were tightly closed, his body trembled, and he knelt on the ground motionless.

Zhao Xuan sneered: "It seems that you really don't want to be a true disciple?"

Li Zhichang suddenly lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "I still hope that Senior Uncle Ancestor will revoke Senior Brother Zhao's position, if Senior Uncle Ancestor does not agree, the disciple will not get up." ”

"Then you just kneel, and when you can't kneel, get out of here. After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, he didn't say a word, and returned to his original position to sit up.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the golden wuxi falls, the jade rabbit rises in the east, the bright moonlight shines on the two of them, one kneels and one sits, one face is pale, his lips are closed, but his eyes are very stubborn;

Time passed slowly, and neither of them in the room spoke.

When the white belly of the fish rose in the eastern sky, Zhao Xuancai opened his eyes, sighed slightly, and said: "I said before that your edge is too exposed, and it is easy to break just over, and in the face of my difficulties, won't you ask your master to be the master?"

Li Zhichang didn't sleep all night, he was already sleepy, and when he heard the words, he was even more stunned, and he stayed there for a while.

Zhao Xuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, you can't pull out the seedlings to help them grow." Don't worry about Zhao Zhijing, I and your teacher and uncle both know that with me watching here, he can't make much waves. ”

Li Zhichang's eyes flashed with fierce joy, and he said excitedly: "Master...... Uncle Shi, what you said is true?"

"Do I have to lie to you again?" After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh and muttered: "It seems that I was deceived just now, but ...... This feeling seems to be quite exciting. ”

Li Zhichang didn't hear his whispering, and said with great joy: "I know that my uncle will not let me down, so how can Zhao Zhijing bully his superiors and subordinates and form gangs, how can he serve as the acting head of the teaching!"

Zhao Xuan shook his head and said: "The acting head of the sect still has to let him go on, you don't have to ask anything else, I have my own reason." It's you, it's time to go down the mountain. Staying in the mountains is not good for your growth now. ”

Li Zhichang felt apprehensive in his heart, and said, "Uncle Shi, you don't really want to drive me down the mountain, do you?"

"What, now that I know I'm afraid, why didn't I see you scared just now?" Zhao Xuan squinted at him.

Li Zhichang scratched his head and sneered: "That...... The disciple didn't think about it so much just now......"

Zhao Xuan rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said: "Hurry up and get out of here, two years later, I hope you can find your 'scabbard', completely 'hide your sword', and then go to Beijing, the central capital, to find me." If I have left at that time, or if you have not completed the 'Tibetan Feng', you can still wander around the rivers and lakes when you return to Quanzhen. ”

"Yes, the disciple obeys the order!" Li Zhichang felt the kindness in Zhao Xuan's words, knowing that the previous few times were just temptations, and he didn't have half a dislike in his heart, and happily took the order and left.

Looking at his back, Zhao Xuan sighed in a low voice and said: "I have wronged you, but you have both the wisdom of people, and the character of perseverance, and you are not afraid of power, if you can really 'hide the front', and my inference is correct...... Nature has your compensation!" Then he looked up at the sky and was silent for a long time.

I don't know how long it took for his faint whisper to sound in the room: "It's time to play with you seriously......"
