After Zhao Shu performed a dazzling operation, he slowly mixed the Qi, then raised his eyes to Zheng Tunan, and said with a pleasant expression: "How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Zheng Tunan's head and face were swollen, and he couldn't say a word. Zhao Shu flicked his sleeves, and the smoke in the hall changed, and it was outlined into a talisman. With a flick of his finger, the smoke cloud talisman shot towards Zheng Tu without any warning.
South chest.
Liang Dongyou's expression changed, but he was shocked by Zhao Shu's method and did not come to rescue him in time. However, Zheng Tunan was beaten by the smoke talisman, but he was not injured at all. He choked and coughed a few times, and his reddened head and face softened a lot.
"It will not be a good thing if resentment and resentment linger in your chest, and it will not be a good thing if things go on like this. I took it upon myself to evacuate Mr. Zheng's energy and blood, and asked Mr. Liang not to hold him accountable." Zhao Shu stood with his hands behind his back, showing a detached demeanor.
Liang Dongyou glanced at Zheng Tunan and said nothing with a sullen expression. Zhao Shu looked around at the other Chongxuan Hall monks and said, "You have just passed the three-subject examination. As long as you can pass one of them, you can come and go through the Jinding Division Gate. If you can't, please take care of it."
Don't damage the reputation of Chongxuan Hall and Liang Guoshi."
In fact, after Zhao Shu demonstrated the subjects of the examination in person, no one present dared to question it. Moreover, the higher his cultivation level, the more he understood how superb Zhao Shu was.
"Pay attention to the empty book, which is already on top of the Qi-inducing talisman. It can be seen that Zhao Shui has extraordinary attainments in the talisman arts." Liang Dongyou thought to himself: "Then move the talisman into the fire and make the incense. This is not difficult, but
He can actually refine arrows with talismans at the same time. Not only does he have to be distracted, he also has to be particularly proficient in the use of fire..."
Not to mention how Liang Dongyou and the other Chongxuan Hall monks were shocked and thinking, Zhao Shu was somewhat sighing in his heart.
Zhao Shui indeed used himself as the standard for the three-subject examination he had just set up. As for whether the threshold was high or low, he was actually not sure.
However, Zhao Shu also experienced firsthand that the improvement of cultivation level does greatly improve the skill of magic.
When Zhao Shu came into contact with the Lingxiao, he gradually became able to draw the talisman by practicing the Nine Palaces Law. However, as he did just now, he directly used the red light from the jade mirror in the Mingtang and concentrated the qi with his eyes to write the calligraphy.
It was the first time for Fu Zhuan to be used, and even Zhao Shu himself was a little surprised.
As for the fractal powder, which was used to refine incense and sacrifice arrows, Zhao Shu secretly played some clever tricks. For example, turning the Shumai Powder into incense was actually done by the fire of the Danding stove.
To combine the medicinal properties, skip the steps of collecting the furnace fire and kneading the elixir powder together, and directly burn it in the furnace to make incense.
As for sacrificing the arrow branches, Zhao Shu simply did it forcefully. Without careful adjustment, the effect of the spell would almost destroy the arrow branches on the spot. Zhao Shu just seized the opportunity to throw the arrow branches directly before they exploded on their own, and penetrated the arrow branches.
Armor.
This performance looked wonderful, but Zhao Shu himself understood the shortcomings and shortcomings in it. Fortunately, the group was frightened.
If Zhao Shu hadn't witnessed Tiegong's improvement in cultivation after his ascension, the three-in-one trick just now wouldn't have been possible.
Of course, the accumulation of training in the past cannot be ignored. After all, the subjects that Zhao Shu took for school examinations are the ones he is most proficient in. Only true skills that cannot be ignored can control the situation.
"Isn't there any fellow Taoist who wants to try the test of making ritual objects?" Zhao Shu took out a few arrows and signaled to the servants outside the hall to put the dummy up again.
Probably frightened by Zhao Shu's action just now, many monks in the Chongxuan Hall were thinking of quitting. Zhao Shu looked around and didn't bother to ask more questions. He was about to ask people to remove the things when a weak voice came from the corner.
Sent:
"I, I want to give it a try."
Zhao Shu raised his eyes and looked, and saw that it was the man in Tsing Yi who had previously blocked Zheng Tunan. He looked humble, and when Zheng Tunan heard this, he glared at him. The man in Tsing Yi instinctively shrank his head, but he still stepped forward stubbornly.
"You haven't asked for advice yet?" Zhao Shu handed the arrow to the other party.
The man in green lowered his head and took the arrow: "Chongxuan Hall, Zheng Siyuan."
"Tunan and Siyuan are quite symmetrical." Zhao Shu thought to himself, and then said: "Please do it yourself, but remember that the magical objects created by the Jinding Priest are not made by cultivators to refine self-defense magic weapons, so they should not be consumed for a long time.
Time."
Zheng Siyuan nodded slightly, then placed the arrow branch horizontally on the index finger of both hands, opened and closed his lips slightly, and spread the true energy on the surface of the arrow branch along with the sound of the mantra.
Zhao Shu's face was expressionless, but he secretly praised in his heart: "This Zheng Siyuan looks humble and timid, but he actually knows how to think carefully."
Zhao Shui did not give any more requirements for the examination of making ritual objects, and it all depended on everyone's performance. Others were intimidated by Zhao Shui's calligraphy of talismans and arrows, but they forgot the simplest and simplest ritual of cloth qi.
It is also feasible.
If you are successful in breathing and refining qi, even if you don't know any profound magic, you can still figure out things like spreading qi to things.
But this Zheng Siyuan was performing spells behind the back of everyone in the Chongxuan Pavilion, and the sound of the sutras and incantations could not be heard, as if he was deliberately avoiding other disciples.
However, the technique Zheng Siyuan performed could not be hidden from Zhao Shu's Yingxuan Scenery Technique. He noticed that the aura flowing on the arrow branches was the shape of the arrow, which was somewhat close to the arrow evil technique he was used to.
After a while, Zheng Siyuan completed the sacrifice and handed the arrow branch back to Zhao Shu.
"Oh? Why don't you just throw the arrow?" Zhao Shu asked.
Zheng Siyuan replied respectfully: "Deacon Zhao just said that ordinary soldiers only have iron weapons in their hands. I think the magic artifact made by the Jinding Priest is for ordinary soldiers. They have no magic power, so they can only rely on their strength to shoot bows and arrows.
If I throw an arrow to break the armor by myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the exam."
"Ha!" Zhao Shu laughed. This Zheng Siyuan not only pointed out his flaws, but also understood the true purpose of the subjects in the exam. This really surprised and delighted Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu took the arrow and said, "Okay, I'll find a soldier right now."
"No need to bother!" At this time, Marquis Anyang stepped forward and shook his sleeves: "I also studied archery when I was young, so let me try it myself."
Zhao Shu handed the arrow to Anyang Hou, and a servant hurriedly sent him a bow. Anyang Hou took the arrow and opened the bow with a straight posture. However, Zhao Shu noticed that he seemed to be a few inches off, and when he was about to speak to remind him, the arrow left the bow.
.
The arrow shot through the air and accurately hit the dummy outside the hall. The arrow easily penetrated the triple armor, and the arrow cluster even came out from the other side.
The servants outside the hall brought the armored dummy in. It took a while to pull out the arrows, lift the armor, and cut open the dummy. The straw mat stuffed inside was smashed into pieces. Compared with Zhao Shu's previous Chiming Rocket,
The scorch marks left behind are even more shocking.
The onlookers had different expressions. Zhao Shu was quite surprised because he saw that Zheng Siyuan's method of sacrificing arrows was unique and mysterious. Liang Dongyou could not help but look at Zheng Siyuan with suspicion, as if he did not expect this person to have such ability.
"How?" Anyang Hou asked enthusiastically.
"Master Hou is a great shooter." Liang Dongyou replied in a nonchalant manner.
"No." Marquis Anyang immediately explained: "I just pointed the target intentionally, but I still hit the target."
Liang Dongyou frowned and said nothing. Zhao Miao twisted the arrow in his hand and nodded and said: "The arrow has been refined through sacrifice and can follow the will of the shooter. As long as the mind is concentrated, the arrow can hit the target without fail."
"Every shot is a hit? Is this the Tianxia Dynasty's "Fu Guo Su Yuan Sacrifice"?" Immediately, the monks from the Chongxuan Pavilion began to whisper.
"Impossible. After the battle of Dragon Slaying, "Fuguo Suyanji" was regarded as the foundation of the country by Youxiong Kingdom, and non-clan members were not allowed to study it. Zheng Siyuan is the son of a concubine, and it is a great luck to be able to worship in Chongxuan Pavilion
, can he still learn the "Fuguo Suyin Sacrifice"?"
"I didn't expect that this Zheng Siyuan is even more clever than his direct brother. Zheng Tunan has completely embarrassed the Zheng family in Jiujiang this time."
"The Jiujiang Zheng family only managed to squeeze into the Chongxuan Hall because their predecessors had rescued Liang Guoshi. If it weren't for this kind of kindness, would someone like Zheng Tunan deserve to stay in the Chongxuan Hall?"
Zhao Shu listened to the whispers and jokes of this group of people, but he did not take any pleasure in his misfortune. This group of people looked down on Zheng Tunan, but they did not pass Jin Dingsi's examination. They just laughed at the same time.
"Congratulations to this fellow Taoist." Zhao Shu stood up and said to Zheng Siyuan: "This method of sacrificing arrows is quite exquisite. I will ask you for more advice when I have time later."
Zheng Siyuan said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Zhao Shu looked at Zheng Siyuan, inexplicably thinking that not long ago, he was also like this young man, shy and shy when meeting big people, feeling inferior and weak.
"Okay, who else wants to give it a try?" Zhao Shu looked back at everyone and interrupted the whispers.
There was silence in the front hall, and the remaining monks of Chongxuan Pavilion were in low spirits. It was not that they were afraid of Zhao Shu, but they just thought that Jindingsi was not the kind of idle yamen, and they might have to make sacrifices all day long after entering.
He was tending the fire and kept writing talismans. The busy days were unbearable and everyone began to give up.
Marquis Anyang said: "For a small yamen like Jindingsi, we are so lucky to be favored by six high-ranking Yuke Gao Zhen! Brother Dongyou, I want to thank you even more!"
Liang Dongyou cupped his hands and said: "I have been ordered by the leader to do my best."
After a conversation, Liang Dongyou did not stay long and left with the rest of the Chongxuan Hall monks. Zheng Siyuan, Jing Shi and other six people, accompanied by Zhao Shu, visited the East and West Palaces and various affairs of Jindingsi.
After dealing with this, Anyang Hou found Zhao Shu and the two had a private conversation.
"I didn't expect that six people still passed the exam. It seems that Chongxuan Hall has not declined as much as outsiders said." Zhao Shu said.
"As the saying goes, even a broken ship has three pounds of nails, not to mention that the big ship of Chongxuan Hall has not sunk yet." Anyang Hou said with a smile: "But my nephew is still capable. If you hadn't shown your magic method and suppressed those pragmatic and mysterious disciples,
Liang Dongyou may want to attack on the spot."
"Uncle Shi knows this Liang Dongyou?"
"Of course I know him." Anyang Hou said: "I remember that he is the nephew of Liang Guoshi. That generation suffered serious losses in the Five Kingdoms War. Those who can survive safely are either fighting for the rest of their lives, or they are incompetent from the beginning.
.
Liang Dongyou was once captured by the witch Zhu of the Jiuli Kingdom, and his limbs and limbs were severed, and his internal organs were used to nourish poison. Even if he was rescued later, he was still disabled, so he stayed in Difei Mountain as a coach. Including Zheng Tunan's
My father was also a capable general back then, but who would have expected that his descendants would be so incompetent."
Zhao Shu said: "I think Zheng Siyuan is good and deserves to be cultivated."
Marquis Anyang nodded and said: "It is true that Zheng Siyuan was bullied by his direct descendants. If he can get an official position in Jinding Division, he will not need to rely on others. If this person can be trained well, he may be able to help him."
Talking about the Zheng family, Zhao Shu couldn't help but remember that he met He Dangguan by chance in Longzangpu. His family heirloom, Jieyou Jue, was seized by the Zheng family and refused to be returned. Considering that Marquis Anyang was able to "cheat" the Zheng family from Jiujiang to Xuanpu
Jade Book, maybe we can also get Lord Jieyou.
It's just that it's a bit hard to say this. He Dangguan and I just met each other by chance. Marquis Anyang is in a high position and I'm afraid he won't do anything for a down-and-out swordsman. And now Zhao Shu is begging him to find the True Essence Lock, so it's not appropriate to ask for it.
many.
"What do you think about Jing Shi?" Anyang Hou asked again.
Zhao Shu thought as he said: "This woman doesn't talk much, and I can't judge her well. But she does have the ability to draw Qi and calligraphy. I saw that her walking steps are light and heavy, and she probably also has swordsmanship and martial arts."
Anyang Hou shook his head: "That's not what I'm asking, but what is the purpose of this person coming to Jindingsi."
Zhao Miao was puzzled: "She is not from a family with the four surnames of Xueyin and Xueyin. Isn't it surprising that such a person cannot be reused in Chongxuan Hall and comes to Jindingsi to find another future?"
In the Chongxuan Hall, there are not only the children of the four surnamed families, but also monks from other halls who have transferred to the past through the first letter of recommendation. Some monks from sects whose inheritance has faded also belong to the Chongxuan Hall, or they have joined it through in-law relationships.
Anyang Houyan said: "I'm just worried that this Jingshi will be detrimental to you."
Zhao Shu frowned and asked: "Jindingsi is an office established by the emperor's decree. If there are any fights and casualties here, it will only be based on facts and will not be beneficial to Chongxuan Hall and Liang Guoshi."
Marquis Anyang said with a smile: "If it is going to be detrimental to you and Jindingsi, why bother killing? Chongxuan Pavilion sent people here just to intervene in the affairs and better control Jindingsi. Either they waste spiritual materials, or shirk their responsibilities and sacrifice
There is a huge loss of magical objects, refining elixirs for private embezzlement, delaying simple and easy things until the Year of the Monkey, and even controlling the government office. All these are equivalent to deposing the Jinding Division, and this is also a way."
When Zhao Shu heard this, he was secretly surprised. It seemed that he had kept things simple before.
"But I also expected that they would do this. Fortunately, you set the threshold for the school entrance examination high, and six people still can't accomplish anything big." Anyang Hou also said: "I have already discussed it with Mr. Zhang, and we will do it in a few days.
A group of monks from the Huaiying Hall have arrived, and it will be much easier for you to do things because you have acquaintances to help you."
Zhao Shu breathed a sigh of relief. When he came to Dongsheng Capital, the most unaccustomed thing was to be alone. If there were acquaintances around, he would be more confident.
"In addition, it is also necessary to arrange some guards for you." Anyang Hou said.
Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Uncle Shi has good intentions, but it's not necessary. I'm not completely powerless to protect myself."
Marquis Anyang waved his hand and said: "You cultivators have your skills at your side, but in a place like Dongshengdu, it is better not to do it yourself unless it is absolutely necessary. You should have a few guard swordsmen around you to block those unsightly things.
, let them take action for you if necessary. Otherwise, there will be rumors on the streets of Dongsheng that one day there will be a fight between Jinding Division’s Deacon Zhao and others. This is really... disgraceful."
Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment, not expecting this to be the reason, but he suddenly thought of He Dangguan, so he said: "My nephew knows a swordsman in Dongshengdu. I will take the time to contact him later."
