Chapter 122 The quasi-fu master accepts the assessment
In fact, Zhong Lin was also not sure about the things that the outer disciple said. If he had not met Zhang Yifan in Shili Taoyuan, he would not have known anything from Zhenren Zhang or Zhenren Feng. Unexpectedly, "Ting Feng'er" behind the two of them would have gained a lot of knowledge.
At this time, Zhenren Feng had already walked to the front of the hall and said with a smile: "We have re-developed the examination process and test questions. Whether it is an inner disciple, an outer disciple, a layperson or even a believer, everyone must take the unified examination. I hope everyone can pass the examination smoothly and become a qualified talisman master..."
"good……"
"good……"
"Smack it..."
Driven by the inner disciples, cheers and applause sounded from the audience again. It seemed that this Zhenren Feng was also very popular among the inner disciples.
A smug smile appeared on Zhenren Feng's face. He bowed to the audience, and then continued to say: "Now the first assessment is carried out. The content of the assessment is very simple. Please follow me first."
After saying that, Zhenren Feng walked towards the side hall, and everyone from the audience followed in one after another.
Although it is a side hall, the area inside is quite large. There are small square tables on the ground paved with blue bricks. Each square table has paper and brushes prepared in advance. There is also a number plate on the upper right corner of the small square table, and a futon is placed behind the small square table, giving people the feeling of walking into the college entrance examination room.
"Please choose your seat at will."
Zhenren Feng seemed to be very interested today, and he didn't need a little Taoist to do it, so he just got up.
After all the "candidates" sat down, Feng Zhenren continued: "Now the assessment has officially begun, the question is very simple, that is, everyone here is asked to draw a disaster relief talisman with the pen and paper on the small square table."
"Ah?! Disaster Relieving Talisman, I heard it right?" A Shin-shi in an ordinary person's clothes said with a confused look on his face.
"That's right, why do you draw the disaster relief talisman now? Didn't you draw it after receiving seal script?" A lay Buddhist in green clothes beside Zhong Lin murmured in a low voice.
Taoist Zizhu just smiled slightly, picked up his pen and brushed it. In a short while, a piece of talisman paper was drawn. Of course, all the paper used to draw talismans were replaced by ordinary paper, and Zixia Palace was not so generous that it gave each of these more than 100 people a real talisman paper.
After the Taoist Zizhu drew the talisman paper, he turned to look at Zhong Lin, but saw that Zhong Lin had already sat upright on the cushion, and a piece of painted talisman paper was already lying quietly on the small square table in front of him.
"Passed by No. 1; Passed by No. 2; gave up No. 3; Drawing by No. 4 was wrong, but failed; Drawing by No. 5 was not a disaster relief talisman..."
As the little Taoist priests walked through the rows of small tables, everyone's "achievements" were reported, those who passed were smiling, and those who failed would inevitably feel a little disappointed.
"Please sit at the viewing platform if you haven't passed."
As soon as Zhenren Feng finished speaking, someone had already walked out of the side hall one after another.
"No. 58, huh?! Why did you make a lot of extra money? No. 58 is drawn..."
No. 58 was Zhong Lin. He felt that the little Taoist seemed to say that he was drawing something wrong, so before the little Taoist could say it was said, he said, "Brother Xiaodao, what I drew is also a kind of disaster relief talisman that may be different from the commonly used disaster relief talisman. You can ask Zhenren Feng or Zhenren Zhang to see if the talisman I drew meets the requirements."
"This..." The little Taoist priest seemed a little unhappy. No wonder, Zhong Lin actually made a taboo when he said this. However, when the little Taoist priest was about to refuse, Zhenren Feng behind him came over...
I saw Zhenren Feng pick up the talisman drawn by Zhong Lin and look carefully, then look at Zhong Lin again, and said, "Friend Taoist, who did you learn how to draw this talisman?"
"I'm not hiding it from a real person, I learned from a book," said Zhong Lin.
"Then do you know what kind of talisman you are drawing?" Feng Zhenren was still in a good mood and asked Zhong Lin with interest.
"I have tried the disaster relief talisman before." Zhong Lin said confidently.
"You mean you have used it before?" Zhenren Feng asked in surprise.
"Yes, I've tried it before, and it works very well!" Zhong Lin said affirmatively.
"Mingyue, he passed..." Feng Zhenren said just smiled and said nothing more.
“Passed on 58, passed on 59…”
After the little Taoist Mingyue finished reading everyone's "achievements", more than fifty people had already walked out of the side hall.
Zhong Lin glanced at the remaining people and found that more than 30 disciples in the inner courtyard were all sitting in place without moving, which means that the pass rate was 100%. On the other hand, there were only less than ten people left in the believers, including Meihuaque and Shanying; the pass rate of lay Buddhists and disciples in the outer courtyard was relatively high. Except for the thin lay Buddhists and more than twenty other people, they all passed the test. At this time, the remaining "sellers" in the side hall were about 100.
However, according to the number of people who received seals of about fifty people in previous years, less than half of the remaining people were able to participate in the final seals of the seals and become talisman masters, which means that they may face more stringent assessments in the future...
"Congratulations to you for passing the first test, which is enough to show that you have a certain understanding of drawing talismans, and even master some basic methods of drawing talismans. This is very important for you to learn further in the future and is a necessary condition for you to become a qualified talisman master. Next, we will conduct the second test. Compared with the first test, the second test may be difficult. If anyone feels that he cannot complete the test during the test, he can choose to exit at any time. Now please wait and prepare. The second test will start immediately..."
Feng Zhenren smiled, his speech was slow and his expression was kind. While speaking, he glanced at everyone in the side hall. When the inner disciples met Feng Zhenren's eyes, they nodded solemnly, which made Feng Zhenren very satisfied. He also nodded frequently. When his eyes moved away from the last person's face, he immediately turned around and left the side hall.
Ten minutes passed, but Zhenren Feng still did not see him in; twenty minutes passed, but there was no sign of others in the side hall except for the people participating in the test; thirty minutes passed, Zhenren Feng still disappeared, and even the little Taoist priests did not appear...
"What do you mean? What test questions do you need to prepare? Does it take for so long?"
Someone could no longer hold back and began to murmur in a low voice.
"I'm a little nervous after hearing what you said. The key is that I have a problem. Whenever I'm nervous, I want to go to the bathroom..." said an outside disciple.
"If you want to go to the toilet, you probably have to hold it in. Didn't you hear Zhenren Feng just said? If you feel that you can't complete the test, you can choose to quit at any time. If you walk out of the side hall, it means you have chosen to quit."
A Kun Dao next to his outer disciple said jokingly that she was one of the few Kun Dao who was preparing to participate in the seal script ceremony today.
After hearing Kundao's words, the people around him burst into laughter, and the outer disciple also stuck out his tongue. Although Kundao was joking and there were many jokes, what she said was not true! Just now, Zhenren Feng had already said that the second assessment "start immediately"! Only then did he know if the waiting is part of the assessment. If he was eliminated because he was nervous and couldn't hold back his urine, it would be too frustrating.
"I have a premonition. This is a big move. I don't know what kind of questions this Zhenren Feng will use to deal with us..."
"I feel the same way when you say that. Don't look at this Zhenren Feng who keeps smiling, I always have a feeling that he must be a very powerful character."
"Brother Dao, have you Zixia Palace conducted similar assessments?" A man dressed as a layman asked an inner disciple beside him.
"You want to ask if there is a 'mock exam'? Hehe! No, it's the first time I've taken the seal test. In my heart, hehe, that's the same as you, and the same thing is not a good idea."
The inner disciple who spoke was in his twenties. If he hadn't been wearing the Taoist robe unique to the inner disciples, no one would have noticed him. But it was difficult to tell whether his words were true or false.
"Why do I feel so hot!" A believer said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"I think you're nervous too?" The outer disciple who had wanted to go to the toilet had finally found a companion.
"It shouldn't be. I feel that it's much hotter now than before!" Another outer disciple said seriously, then turned around and looked around. When he found that the doors and windows of the side hall were open, and the branches outside were swaying obviously in the wind, his face showed a look of surprise. Besides, the current season, and it is in the mountains, it shouldn't be so hot...
"Hot! It's really hot..."
"Indeed, I can't stand it anymore!"
"The doors and windows are all open, why is it so hot?!"
Everyone said something, I said something, there was a commotion at the scene, and many people could no longer sit still. They didn't say they wouldn't stand up, so many people stood up one after another, suffusing the wind with their sleeves...
"Look at everyone! There is smoke, it's not that there is a fire!" an outer disciple exclaimed.
Everyone looked in the direction of the man's finger, and saw thick smoke coming in from outside the door, which could not allow everyone to doubt, because in just a blink of an eye, everyone saw the fire.
"Damn, it's really on fire, run away!"
