Kunlun one millet

Chapter 76

"Chongxuan Hall wants to send someone?"

Zhao Mi was inspecting a batch of newly arrived spiritual materials when he heard a message from a servant: "They have already arrived in the front hall, Lord Hou said to let the young master go over to discuss."

"understood."

At present, the Jinding Office is two adjacent mansions. The east courtyard is a mandala stove for refining the magic medicine elixir, and the west courtyard is a quiet room for monks to rest.At present, the east courtyard is under construction, and the west courtyard has housed many monks.

Since the imperial court issued a document to recruit capable people and strangers to come to Jindingsi, before the various halls responded, a group of monks from sects came to serve first.

However, Zhao Mi learned from the Marquis of Anyang that these people actually took refuge in his sect very early and worshiped them as guests.

Since the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, many sects have encountered wars in the past, their inheritances have been cut off, and their dojos have fallen.

The Marquis of Anyang also enshrined some disciples of Xuanputang, they were the same disciples of Zhao Shu's mother, but these people's cultivation was superficial, at best they could refine some elixir and serve sesame herbs, but they didn't have any great skills.After learning about Zhao Mi's identity, she couldn't avoid all kinds of fawning, hoping to find a position in the Jinding Division.

Zhao Mi was dissatisfied with this, he was still more used to the ethos in the Huaiying Pavilion where those who are talented are teachers and those who are capable are in charge. This kind of monk who has to rely on old human relationships to climb up to the top can be described as despicable.

But when he came to Anyang Marquis Mansion, he was greatly used in Jinding Division in a short period of time. Wasn't it because he was blessed by favors?Moreover, Jindingsi is the master of Anyang Hou, and it is not Zhao Mi who has the final say.

However, Zhao Mi still put forward his own idea. After all, the Jinding Division should focus on refining the magical medicine pills, and it is impossible to support idle monks. However, anyone who works here must have the corresponding skills and techniques. At least one must be proficient in writing, spelling, and alchemy, and Zhao Mi will test the school himself.

Judging from Zhao Mi's experience in Xingluo County, it is not uncommon for monks who can work in the Jinding Division among various halls in Huaxu Country, but the Huaiying Hall is the most suitable one.

So when Zhao Mi learned that the Chongxuan Pavilion would also send people to the Jinding Division, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"What does Chongxuan Pavilion mean?" Zhao Mi approached Anyang Hou and asked.

"Even if we don't mention that Jinding Division's affairs are related to military weapons and armor, the deployment and use of spiritual materials in the middle school will be concentrated in the Jinding Division's family. It is naturally impossible for the Chongxuan Hall to sit idly by." Anyang Hou said.

Zhao Mi said: "Uncle Shi intends to keep the Chongxuan Pavilion out?"

"Impossible." Anyang Hou said: "If we do this, it will be true. It is not surprising that the other party slanders Jindingsi. Later, when you take the school examination in public, try to be strict. The threshold is high, and you can enter Jinding There will be fewer people in the department.”

"Yes."

When Zhao Mi and Anyang Hou came to the front hall, they saw more than twenty Chongxuanguan monks standing or sitting, most of them looked arrogant.

"It's you!"

Before Zhao Mi could open his mouth, he saw a cultivator from Chongxuan Hall standing up and pointing: "I'm just worried that I won't find you, a poor countryman!"

"You are... Zheng Tunan?" Zhao Mi looked at the person in front of him. Although he was well-dressed and handsome, his expression was ruthless.

Zhao Mi suddenly became interested, and said with a smile, "What? You got kicked, haven't you learned enough?"

"Looking for death!" Zheng Tunan pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and was about to be fierce, but was quickly held down by a man in Tsing Yi with a similar appearance behind him.

"Brother, we got the order of the first seat, and we are here to work in the Jinding Division. You don't want to..."

The man in Tsing Yi tried his best to dissuade him, but Zheng Tunan said ruthlessly: "You are a servant girl who is worthy of stopping me? Let go!"

But no matter how hard Zheng Tunan tried, he still couldn't break free from the man in Tsing Yi's pincers.The two immediately scuffled into a ball, and Zheng Tunan kept yelling and cursing, the scene was rather ugly.

Zhao Mi found out that the other people in Chongxuan Hall just stood by with arms folded, and they didn't try to stop them at all, and some people didn't hide their smiles.It seems that the different families in the Chongxuan Pavilion do not love each other.

"Nephew knows this Zheng Tunan?" Marquis Anyang asked in a low voice.

Zhao Mi replied, "When Teacher and I were sailing into the city, we encountered him fighting with others and the boat stopped. I stopped the fight and kicked him into the water."

Marquis Anyang shook his head and smiled: "It's not surprising, this man is the eldest son of the Zheng family in Jiujiang, but his father died in the Five Kingdoms War, and the elders of the family dote on him so much that he is spoiled by nature."

Zhao Mi frowned and said, "Chongxuan Pavilion sent this kind of person, Liang Guoshi despised Jindingsi so much?"

"Not necessarily." The Marquis of Anyang said, "Zheng Tunan's ugliness is all over the place. Master Liang expected that the Jinding Division would not accommodate such people. I'm afraid it is using the Jinding Division to exclude Zheng's children."

Zhao Mi sneered: "Liang Guoshi is really 'good intentions'."

"stop!"

In the end, a man with a slightly gloomy face got up and shouted: "Chongxuanguan and Jiujiang Zheng's face are all embarrassing for you, if you don't stop, you two will go back to Jiujiang's old house and never come here again." Shengdu!"

Hearing this, Zheng Tunan suppressed his anger, heaved his shoulders, and stared at Zhao Mi viciously, wishing to bite off a piece of flesh from him.As for the other man in Tsing Yi, he was hit by Zheng Tunan's elbow a few times, but he was not injured at all, but his clothes were a little messy, and he retreated behind the others with his head down.

"Brother Dongyou!" Anyang Hou stretched out his sleeves, and greeted the gloomy monk, "I haven't seen you for half a year, is Brother Dongyou alright?"

"Thanks to Marquis Anyang's concern, everything is fine for Mr. Liang."

The Marquis of Anyang recruited Zhao Mi and said, "Brother Dongyou, this is Zhao Mi, the deacon of the Jinding Division. You also know that I admire Xuanxiu, but I don't have the gift of immortality. The role and specific affairs depend on this Deacon Zhao."

Zhao Mi cupped his hands, and Marquis Anyang said to him, "This is Liang Dongyou, the coach of the Chongxuan Hall, who is also in charge of all the affairs of the Lower Hall."

There are upper and lower halls in Chongxuan Pavilion on Difei Mountain. The upper hall is based on researching the virtual and keeping the truth, and the lower hall is on alchemy and medicine.Some are similar to the previous Cultivation of Immortals sects, which are divided into inner and outer sects, but the Huaiying Pavilion does not like this.

Liang Dongyou said: "The head of my family has said that the Jinding Division serves the country, and the Chongxuan Pavilion is in its prime, so how can we stay out of it? So I selected a group of young students to come, hoping to be appreciated by the Marquis of Anyang."

"So that's how it is." Anyang Hou nodded and said, "There are so many heroes in the Chongxuan Pavilion, and the best are selected from the best. Presumably they are all dragons and phoenixes among the people!"

When Zhao Mi heard this, he almost didn't laugh.Even if you don't talk about people like Zheng Tunan, even the Liang family in Yongjia has no shortage of mediocre and incompetent people.

Liang Dongyou always had a gloomy face, noncommittal about Anyanghou's words, but said: "Liang has heard that if he wants to be appointed as Jinding Division, he must first pass the examination?"

The Marquis of Anyang looked back and signaled, Zhao Mi stepped forward and said, "That's right, the Jinding Division specializes in making ritual objects, smelting alchemy tripods, writing talismans and water, and not focusing on being brave and ruthless."

After saying this, Zhao Shu's eyes shifted to Zheng Tunan, and the other party's face was flushed, and he had to sigh, Liang Shuo's demeanor and self-cultivation, not everyone possesses it.

Liang Dongyou asked again: "Then I don't know how to test the school?"

Zhao Mi waved to the servants at the back, and soon someone moved several large tables, on which were displayed talisman paper cinnabar, various spiritual materials, and even several alchemy tripods the size of incense burners.

"Currently, the Jinding Division temporarily sets up the three subjects of Talisman, Pill, and Artifact. Both generalists and specialists are welcome." Zhao Shu said: "The Fufa department uses Qi-entraining calligraphy as the test. Friends who are interested in this can come forward and have a try."

As soon as these words came out, Liang Dongyou frowned slightly, and all the cultivators of Chongxuan Pavilion looked at each other in blank dismay. Obviously, the test set by Zhao Mi was unexpected.

Most of the monks and magicians rely on the scriptures and symbols handed down from generation to generation to copy and write, and at the same time retain the charm of imagination and push forward the writing. Such a long time and spiritual sense will naturally improve the skills and make the writing feel like a god.

The air-entraining book talisman is a great threshold for the talisman.Marquis Anyang signaled Zhao Mi to embarrass Chongxuanguan, and he naturally followed suit. After all, those with real skills are not afraid of the test, and the incompetent Jindingsi does not welcome them.If the people in Chongxuan Pavilion can't do it, there is no place to complain.

Just when Liang Dongyou was about to speak, a tall woman walked out from behind, wearing black and strong clothes, with phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, a cold expression, and a dagger in her waist. She came to Zhao Mi and bowed her hands:
"Chongxuan Hall, Jing Shi."

This cold woman didn't talk nonsense, she just picked up a piece of talisman paper, and then the sword directed a ray of sharp energy, skimmed the cinnabar ink on the table, outlined it in mid-air, and hidden it in the shape of a sword's edge, hanging above the fingertips .

Seeing this, Zhao Shu nodded secretly, Jing Shi's sword pointed falsely, and the cinnabar ink sword fell on the paper and stained it.

"Deacon Zhao, please have a look." Jing Shi handed over the sword talisman.

Zhao Mi glanced at it and knew that this talisman was extraordinary. He could sense the sword energy hidden in it. This woman named Jing Shi probably also has good attainments in swordsmanship.

"That's right, Fellow Daoist has passed the exam." Zhao Mi also had to admit that there are still talents in Chongxuan Hall.Moreover, this woman named Jing Shi is not as arrogant as other Chongxuanguan disciples, not to mention she is not one of the four surnames of the immortal family, so Zhao Mi's impression of her is much better.

"Are there any other fellow Taoists who want to show off?" Zhao Mi put down the sword talisman and raised his eyes to ask.

Liang Dongyou looked around, his face became more gloomy, so he could only say, "Deacon Zhao, you might as well take the Danding subject first."

Zhao Mi did not refute, he had heard about the study of Wai Dan in Chongxuan Hall, so he pointed to the spiritual material Danding on the table: "The eighteen medicines here need to be refined into a furnace of Shumaisan."

Now, more than half of the cultivators in Chongxuan Pavilion breathed a sigh of relief, Shumai San works as its name suggests, and it is used to dredge the Qi meridians. For these immortal disciples, it is far from being a magic elixir.

"Besides, there is no charcoal here." Zhao Mi added, "I would like to ask you all to raise the flames yourself."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone who had just relaxed immediately changed their colors. Liang Dongyou asked: "Deacon Zhao, is this too much? How can there be no charcoal for refining Waidan bait medicine?"

"Smelting elixir, breathing out the wind, concentrating on the fire, if the fire is to be pure, the most important thing is that the qi mechanism is not mixed, and the mind is pure." Zhao Mi said: "Otherwise, when refining alchemy, daydreams and miscellaneous qi are popular, and you are not afraid of attracting it. Ghosts and gods stealing pills, cauldrons blowing up? If there is no such foundation, how can we refine the Nine Heavens Sunshine Pill in the future?"

Liang Dongyou had nothing to say, because it is said that Qingya Zhenjun refined the Nine Heavens Shengxia Pill, and after taking it, he rose in the daytime. The descendants of the Liang family in Yongjia are all proud of it .If you haven't even learned the housekeeping skills of your ancestors, then don't talk about the Danding stove.

But even if Zhao Mi moved out of this test, four monks from Chongxuan Pavilion still stepped forward. They each took the medicine pill furnace, looked at each other a few times, and then found an empty place to sit cross-legged, vaguely forming a formation.

Zhao Mi noticed that their exhaling and breathing machines were in touch with each other, and each emitted a little real fire. As the air machines resonated with each other, the real fire became stronger and stronger, and then enveloped the alchemy furnace in front of each other.

"Can it still be like this?" Zhao Mi really admired it now, and it was the first time he had seen the formation of alchemy.

The four monks recited mantras and hand-pinching formulas. The wind was strong and the fire was strong, and then they put in spiritual materials and medicines.

Not long after, Shumaisan was refined, and the four monks dispersed the furnace fire, and then cast spells to push the still warm alchemy furnace in front of Zhao Mi, with no concealment of arrogance on their faces.

Zhao Mi looked at the scattered veins like white fine sand, and knew that he couldn't go back on his word, so he said with a smile: "Okay, the four fellow Taoists are ingenious, and we have passed the test."

Hearing this, Liang Dongyou's gloomy face softened a little, so he asked, "Deacon Zhao, there is one more subject. I wonder if there is any school exam?"

Zhao Mi took out a bundle of arrow branches from the side: "It's not difficult, sacrifice and refine the arrows to make them sharper and able to penetrate armor."

When he said this, a servant in the courtyard outside the hall put down a wooden dummy with triple armor on it.

Liang Dongyou groaned silently, while Zheng Tunan pulled out the treasured sword from his waist: "With this Hongming Dao, I can separate gold and break rocks!"

"You have a treasured sword, but ordinary soldiers only have ordinary iron weapons." Zhao Shu's tone became colder: "Since you rely on the sharpness of your precious sword, why don't you go and chop up the thousand-jun iron figurine with Xiong Guo?"

The Qianjun iron figurines are uniquely created by Xiong Guo. They are shaped like pottery figurines, but they are cast from fine iron and are driven by sacrificing spells. They weigh more than a thousand jun and are indestructible.Once this iron figurine appeared on the battlefield, it would be unstoppable for ordinary soldiers.

When Zheng Tunan heard this, he immediately flew into a rage: "I understand, you are deliberately making things difficult for us, creating a bunch of exams that few people can pass! I don't believe you can do them all!"

Zhao Mi squinted his eyes and remained silent, Zheng Tunan became even more angry: "Teacher Liang, this Zhao Mi is relying on the support of Anyang Marquis to reject our Chongxuan Hall, are you going to sit idly by?!"

Liang Dongyou frowned unceasingly. He didn't like Zheng Tunan, but he couldn't deny that his words were reasonable. Even he felt that the examination given by Zhao Mi was a bit harsh.

Just as Liang Dongyou was about to open his mouth to criticize, Zhao Mi slapped the table and said, "Mediocre, let me open your eyes today!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Mi's eyes glowed red, and as his pupils looked at the sky, a red talisman seal was formed based on the empty book, and then he swept his sword finger, and the red talisman was divided into two parts.

Zhao Mi pulled out the arrow with one hand, chanted a spell in his mouth, and half of the red talisman slowly burned into the arrow cluster.And half of the red talisman seal fell into the emptiness of the alchemy cauldron, and the furnace suddenly ignited. Zhao Mi threw the medicine into the furnace with the other hand, and at the same time raised his hand, and the arrow that had been refined turned into a ray of red light and shot out, directly piercing through the triple armor , Shoot down the dummy in the courtyard.

When everyone was amazed, the furnace in the hall was full of flames, and Zhao Mi swelled his true energy, and bursts of medicinal fragrance were rippling, and the scattered pulses were scattered in the Danding fire, and turned into spices.

Looking at the hall, the smoke is curling up, floating like a fairy.
