Qin Yao heard a very evil saying in his previous life: When you go out in the middle of the night, no matter what sound you hear, don't look back.
The reason is that yin and yang are in order, and late at night is the time for ghosts and ghosts to be active. When ghosts wandering around at this point meet a pedestrian on the road, they want to lie on him and absorb the yang energy. The reason why they are not allowed to look back is because there are three lights in the human body, one of which is above the head. , one on the left shoulder, one on the right shoulder. No matter which way you turn your head, one of them will be blown out.
In Maoshan, there is actually a similar saying, which is: There are no lights in the barren mountains, and pedestrians hold their own lamps. There are no restrictions on where the lights are burning, and no one walks with the lights out.
There are roughly two ways to say "mo no further" here. One means don't go any further, and the second means you can't leave. Of the two meanings, relatively speaking, the latter one is more appropriate.
Qin Yao didn't know if this was the reason why Xiao Wenjun asked him not to turn around, but based on his trust in her, his confidence in himself, and the fact that the system did not warn him, he forcibly suppressed the urge to turn around and wait, and used all his energy to activate, A transparent golden shield is formed outside the body.
Behind him, Xiao Wenjun's black hair was dancing wildly, his eyes were green, and his aura was fully activated. He looked fiercely at the ferocious devil as if he had opened up the void, revealing half of his body.
It’s like a ferocious beast protecting its food!
Behind her, inside the Gang Qi shield, Qin Yao seemed to have a torch on his head, and an oil lamp was burning on each of his left and right shoulders, forming a natural defensive barrier.
"Sir, the female ghost behind you is lying on top of you. She wants to eat your soul and take over your body." The devil stared at Xiao Wenjun coldly and said scary words.
"Shut your stinky mouth, you ugly monster." Xiao Wenjun shouted angrily.
"Xiao Wenjun, go ahead." Qin Yao took out the Gauss gun from his hand and threw it behind him.
Xiao Wenjun reached out to catch the pistol, pointed it at the devil in mid-air, and pulled the trigger repeatedly.
The enchanted bullets shot out one after another and exploded violently on the devil's body, actually knocking his body back into the void crack...
The devil disappeared, but Xiao Wenjun did not relax at all. He held the pistol tightly with both hands and stared ahead.
Qin Yao has her on his back.
And Qin Yao is on her back.
So she didn't worry about the back, she only needed to take care of Qin Yao's back.
"Shashasha..."
Half an hour later.
Suddenly there was a crawling sound on the ground.
Xiao Wenjun raised his left arm, set up his pistol, and quickly pulled the trigger at the reptiles.
Under the laser fire, the reptiles that looked like geckos exploded one after another, leaving the ground black and red.
After she shot hundreds of reptiles one after another, the rustling sound finally stopped. In the distant sky, a blood moon slowly rose into the sky.
"call……"
Xiao Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief and exhaled a gloomy wind.
Three days have passed and the assessment is completed.
Qin Yao held the teleportation stone in his hand, turned around slowly, looked at the black blood on the ground, and dispersed the Zhenqi shield that protected his whole body: "The guy who just appeared is very powerful?"
Based on his understanding of Xiao Wenjun, if it were a ghost that he could crush, she would definitely not choose this method of handling it.
"We haven't really fought each other, so I don't know if he is powerful or not, but he is very evil."
Xiao Wenjun handed the Gauss pistol back to him and said, "I can see clearly, as soon as she comes, the three lights on you will light up.
I have been following you for so long, and this is the first time I have seen a ghost that can ignite your three lamps.
I guess that once your three lights go out, something ominous will happen.
Moreover, the reason why I was able to scare her away was not because of the gun you gave me. The decisive factor was that you didn’t look back!"
Qin Yao put away the Gauss pistol and nodded silently: "This shabby place is full of evil spirits, it's better to leave early. You return to the shadow first, and we will leave now."
Xiao Wenjun turned into a puff of smoke and got into his shadow: "Thank you for trusting me."
Qin Yao input a large amount of true energy into the teleportation stone. When a beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped him, he smiled softly: "Didn't you also leave your back to me?"
"Uh-huh."
Light flashed.
Qin Yao instantly left the evil forest and stepped out of the dark cave...
"Congratulations, you have passed all the tests for becoming an official in Fengdu."
Outside the cave, Yu Daocheng looked at the figure emerging across the light and shadow, and said with a smile.
"Uncle Yu, you didn't put in enough water. I almost died inside." Qin Yao said with a clear heart.
"You have misunderstood uncle."
Yu Daocheng waved his hand and said: "If you don't believe it, I will tell you two that are a little difficult...
For example, go to the Snowy Mountains to kill the Snow Soul; for example, go to the Baiman Mountains to find the Flying Man and cut his head back.
For example, go to the human world, find ghosts, and take them back to the underworld.
No matter which one of these trial tasks it is, it will take at least several years, or even longer.
Compared with these items, what does it mean if you go to the Ancient Desolate Forest for three days?"
Qin Yao opened his mouth, but was speechless.
"Do you understand now? How much water is released does not depend on the difficulty, but on the comparison." Yu Daocheng looked into his eyes and said sincerely: "The water I put in for you is too little, it is almost like a vast ocean."
Hearing this, Qin Yao had to thank him again.
"Let's go, I'll take you to pay Yin De in exchange for the official seal and official robe." Yu Daocheng smiled with satisfaction and waved.
In just a cup of tea, Yu Daocheng took Qin Yao to an office building called "Yushitai", pointed to the payment window on the first floor and said: "Just go there to pay, and explain your personal information clearly."
Information and body measurements, and then a civil servant will deliver your official seal and official robe, you just need to wait patiently."
Qin Yao's eyes were astonished and he hesitated: "Sir, shouldn't you first determine which yamen I will join?"
Yu Daocheng laughed dumbly: "You are thinking too far. Now that you have just passed the assessment, you are still a candidate official. You have an official status but no formal official position. What kind of yamen do you want to join?"
Qin Yao understood: "In other words, not in the mainstream?"
Yu Daocheng nodded: "Yes, after entering the yamen, you will have a rank, the lowest is a ninth-rank official."
Qin Yao humbly asked: "How can I enter the Yamen?"
"All bureaucracies are promoted based on their merits."
"Where does the merit come from?"
Yu Daocheng laughed: "Be loyal to your duties, do good deeds and accumulate virtue."
Qin Yao: "..."
Okay.
After going around and around, I finally reached Yin De.
"I once heard my master say that there are nine grades in the official system of the Yin Division. The ninth grade is the lowest and the first grade is the highest."
After pondering for a while, Qin Yao asked for advice again: "But he only gave me a general explanation at that time, and what he said may not be correct. Please give me some advice..."
Yu Daocheng thought for a while and said: "The Yin Division official system has evolved over countless years, and it is too complicated to truly study it. Let me first tell you about the levels you can access at this stage."
Qin Yao looked at him with shining eyes, as if listening.
"You are not in the flow now. Above this, you are the ninth rank of the Yin Division. Generally speaking, there are twelve Yin divisions in the ninth rank. Folks call it...the Twelve Masters." Yu Daocheng talked without hesitation.
