Hundreds of schools follow

Chapter 13 The way of heaven decides!
Facing the expectations of the young man with thick eyebrows, Fan Ya only had a solemn face: "It will only be revealed when the list is published."

Nong Mei couldn't help scratching his head: "Oh, it's not easy to wait for another hour."

Others laughed and said, "Zhou Jingzhi, I don't think you need it, anyway, he won't take you as his teacher."

Everyone then laughed.

"I can't do it just to watch the fun?" Zhou Jingzhi himself laughed.

In a relaxed atmosphere, Zhu Xuebo discussed the belonging of the students.

Except for No. 77, there are a total of 6 test papers that the teachers have taken a fancy to.

For 3 of them, only one teacher chooses them, and they are naturally paid directly under the door.

For the other 3 copies, there are many teachers who choose, so we will discuss them here.

The discussion process was very friendly, and several teachers unified their opinions and confirmed the candidates with just a few words.

After all, he is not a high-class talent like No. 77, and he is just a normal disciple when he is accepted, so there is no excuse for dragging.

There is a reason why they are so courteous.

As far as Taoism is concerned, accepting apprentices is like raising children, and it requires concentrated resources to take care of them carefully.

After getting started, the teacher should not only teach by precepts and deeds, but also nourish them with Dao materials, so as to increase their chances of attaining Dao.

If you take in as many students as you can, but don't take good responsibility, or secretly favor the good and the bad, then you will definitely fall behind in the examination of the academy, not only will you lose your proud status, but you will even be ridiculed by others.

Therefore, in the matter of recruiting apprentices, everyone would rather be short than excessive, and try to use their energy and resources wisely.

In this selection, except for the talented No. 77, everyone else is pretty close, so naturally there is no chance of competition.

In a moment, after confirming the affiliation of these six disciples, the formal process of grading papers came to an end.

But the teachers did not leave, but picked up the papers selected by others and asked each other for their highlights.

As the saying goes, learning is endless, even if you are a famous scholar, you are still full of curiosity about the bright spots of knowledge that you have not discovered.

The process was generally smooth.

But I'm afraid of being stupefied.

For example, that young man with thick eyebrows, Zhou Jingzhi, has something he doesn't understand.

"Zou Xuebo, I have something to ask." Zhou Jingzhi took a stack of papers, frowned, walked up to an old man in black with half-bald hair and a forehead swollen like a goldfish, and asked, "During the second trial, Zou Xuebo You obviously selected 5 papers that were biased towards Legalism, and finally chose a disciple, why did you choose a peasant family?"

The scene froze for a moment.

Everyone can't bear to look in this direction.

Zhou Xuebo, do you think you are the only one who discovered this problem? Don’t you know Fan Ya?

Si Ye has not yet asked, why are you bothering?

Seeing that the semi-bald old man was already prepared, wiping his mustache with two fingers, he said with a gentle smile: "It's nothing more than finding better students after reading other selected test papers."

"Then why didn't you choose him in the second trial?" Zhou Jingzhi looked at Fan Ya, "Si Ye is always the same, whoever is selected in the second trial will be the apprentice."

Zou Shen finally showed a little embarrassment at being compared like this, but still forced a smile and said: "The time for the second trial is limited, and I couldn't see the test paper of this peasant family."

"It's true that the time is limited, but that's the problem." Zhou Jingzhi scratched his exuberant scalp and said, "There is almost no interval between the end of the second trial and the discussion on accepting apprentices. When did you read this farmer's test paper? What? Even if you can see it, how can you find the bright spot with a quick glance?"

Whoosh!
The scene suddenly froze.

Everyone thought that Zhou Jingzhi found out about Zou Shen's win over the Legalists, but they didn't expect that there was such a thing.

Indeed, this matter is a bit strange, Zou Xuebo never had a chance to read that farm test paper.

But recruiting apprentices is an extremely prudent thing. The five legalists he selected were all confiscated, so why did he accept a farmer who didn't even look at them?
It seems not difficult to find this point, but in fact, only Zhou Jingzhi is so meticulous and straightforward, traces the root cause, and investigates every person who is selected for the test paper to get here.

Faced with such doubts, Zou Shen was visibly shaken a little, raised his hand and coughed before answering: "I saw the farmer's test paper during the second trial, but because I was not familiar with the farmer's family, I didn't read it carefully. It was only after he was selected that he recalled his exposition, realized something suddenly, and then accepted him as a disciple."

"Oh, that's it..." Zhou Jingzhi pulled out the farm test paper, and bowed seriously, "I would like to ask Zou Xuebo to point out, where is the highlight of your epiphany?"

"Zhou Xuebo wait a moment..." Zou Shen reached out for the paper.

But Zhou Jingzhi suddenly withdrew his hands, and said loudly with a surprised face: "Wait... Didn't you realize the highlights in your memories? Shouldn't you just say it to me now? Why do you still need to read it?"

"..." Zou Xuebo froze in place after hearing the words.

You big-eyed... you actually dug a hole for me to jump in? !
Look around again.

This flaw was so obvious that everyone looked at him strangely.

Front and back, inside and outside, nothing more than two words——

favoritism!

The only explanation for this abnormal behavior is that Zou Shen contacted the peasant candidate long before the Taoist election and promised to take him as a disciple.

Although the name is sealed, drawing is allowed in the answer sheet, and it is not difficult to agree on a mark.

Furthermore, out of hundreds of Taoists, this is the only one who explained astronomy with the farmer's route.

Presumably, during the second trial, this paper was assigned to other teachers. Before Zou Shen had time to read it, he was approved by other teachers and sent to Fan Ya.

But he had made a promise in private, so he had no choice but to forcefully select this disciple when accepting disciples.

In Fan Ya's field of vision, this matter is very obvious, but it is not pointed out.

But for other teachers, if you don't put in some effort to compare, you really can't find this step.

At this moment, facing Zhou Jingzhi's doubts, Zou Shen could not find any room to defend himself.

Then there is only one last way left.

Zou Shen took a deep breath, lightly wiped his mustache, took a step back and said calmly.

"Zhou Xuebo, since you are deliberately being unkind to me and using this trick to tarnish my reputation, there is no need to say anything between you and me."

After speaking, he raised his arm and turned out his right palm, making a heavy hook with his four fingers.

Come on, right and wrong, let the way of heaven decide!

Undoubtedly, this is the ultimate solution to the contradictions between those who attain the Tao——

Martial arts!

If Qing talks about Dao, because of poor words, he will be ridiculed, and will be mediated by the host.

But if it is for personal disputes or interests to entangle martial arts, that is another story.

Although the theory is too unreasonable, it will still be laughed at, but it will be laughed at no matter what.

Strong theory can at least overcome the immediate catastrophe.

Taking a step back, the party who proposes martial arts theory is often the one who is more confident in his martial arts ethics.

Therefore, in most cases, the person being discussed does not dare to take it seriously, and it will be over if he is soft.

For Zou Shen at this time, he had already lost his face anyway, so it is better to force Zhou Jingzhi to bow his head with martial arts, and stand up and lose.

As soon as this remark came out, it was no longer Zou Shen who was nervous, but Zhou Jingzhi.

It has only been two years since he attained the Tao, how can Wu De resist such an old monster of Legalism?
But if he doesn't accept this argument, he admits that there is nothing wrong with Zou Shen, and the fault lies in his seeking out others.

Personal grievances are fine.

Such a matter of justice, how can we shrink back?

Zhou Jingzhi immediately clenched his teeth and wanted to raise his hand.

But a deep voice sounded:

"Can't you see me sitting here?"
