Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 86
Fu Yuqing once promised to directly recommend Fang Dushu to join the Zhenwen School.

But Fu Jigong didn't know about it.

He thought that Fu Yuqing asked Fang Dushu to go to Guyangang just to participate in the competition.

He listened to Fang Dushu asking about Dabi's situation.

So he explained everything to Fang Dushu.

There is an age limit for the Zhenwen sect to recruit new disciples. It mainly recruits young disciples between the ages of eight and 12. The recruiting method is to go through three checkpoints.

These three levels are actually not complicated. The first level is to watch and read Jie Ding or Xie Zhong formulas. Young disciples from the cities of Longzhou who come to participate in the competition can generally pass it.

The second level is to watch and read Zhongding Zhenwen, because the young disciples who rushed to Guyangang have already been selected in their respective cities, and basically have the qualifications for reading.

Therefore, the Zhenwen Sect mainly assesses how long it took the young disciples to decipher the true text of Zhong Ding, and whether the meaning of the true text they comprehend is profound.

Generally speaking, after completing the second level, the young apprentices will be selected by the Zhenwen faction to enter the gate wall, but the number of recruits is not many.

Unless the young disciples can break through the third hurdle, they can [-]% join the Zhenwen Sect.

The third test is to observe and read the Enlightenment Vessel. Whoever can see through the true text in the Enlightenment Vessel will stand out.

After listening to Fu Jigong's explanation of the three levels, Fang Dushu felt that it was easy for him.

But he is too old to participate in the third pass.

"What is the writer's difficulty?"

"Every scribe's difficulty is different, and it depends on the temporary arrangement of the monks of the Zhenwen School." Fu Jigong said: "I only know that there is only one scribe's difficulty. If you pass it, you can join the Zhenwen School. to be turned away."

"If there is only one way, it will definitely not be easy." Fang Dushu hoped that he could be recommended by Fu Yuqing, directly exempted from passing through the level, and joined the Zhenwen School without examination.

If placed a few months ago, he is very confident in the recommendation.

But now he has no idea.

Because Fu Yuqing would not let him come to Guyangang for no reason, it was very likely that there was a problem with the recommendation, so Fang Dushu was asked to pay homage to the door through the Guyan Grand Competition.

Of course, these are all Fang Dushu's guesses. What the truth is, we need to meet Fu Yuqing to know.

He first followed Fu Jigong to the residence of the Fu family, but did not find Fu Yuqing.

This time, Fang Dushu and Fu Jigong were neither familiar with the elders of the Foundation Establishment Period who led the young disciples of the Fu family to participate in the Grand Competition, nor did they find out about Fu Yuqing.

The two temporarily settled down at the resident, patiently waiting for the day when the Grand Competition will be held.

Waited for about four or five days.

During the period, children from the Longzhou family continued to come from major cities to participate in the meeting. The number of monks gathered more and more, and the number of people quickly exceeded a thousand.

This morning.

Fang Dushu was meditating on an attic where the Fu family lived, when he suddenly heard voices outside the building, before he could go out to check the situation, Fu Jigong had already sent him a message: "Xiao Fang, the Dharma boat of the Zhenwen Sect has arrived."

He immediately followed Fu Jigong to the outside of the building, and saw that almost all the monks had left their respective residences, and more than a thousand people gathered together, filling the open space in front of the ancient inkstone hillock.

Standing in front of the attic, Fang Dushu looked at the Lishui River, and saw a giant French boat with a length of [-] feet, slowly entering the pier and docking next to the ancient inkstone hillock.

Dozens of Zhenwen sect monks in white Taoist robes stood on the plywood.

After the dharma boat came to a steady stop, a group of young disciples in the qi training period came down first. They were scattered around the ancient inkstone hillock, skillfully arranging the magic circle to break through and prepare for the upcoming competition.

Afterwards, several foundation-building seniors came down. They stood on the post and shouted to the crowd, mainly to clarify the rules of this ancient inkstone competition, and they talked about it for about a stick of incense.

They finally informed that the competition will be officially opened in the evening.

Since there are hundreds of young apprentices participating in the big competition, and the content of the assessment is to read real texts, it is time-consuming to pass the three levels, and the whole big competition may last ten days and a half months.

After they had read all the items, they all returned to the cabin and began to wait quietly for the arrival of Dabi after nightfall.

It's just after morning, and there is still a day of preparation time.

The monks of the Zhenwen sect on the French boat also had a chance to relax. Some monks disembarked from the boat separately. They did not set foot on the ancient inkstone hillock, but jumped to the hillock and slipped away quietly, and went to the attics of the residences of various families.

These monks are all from aristocratic families. They used to join the Zhenwen Sect through the ancient inkstone competition. Taking advantage of the gathering of aristocratic families in various cities today, they followed the Dharma boat to the ancient inkstone hillock to meet the clansmen.

Fu Yuqing was impressively on the list.

After she got off the boat, she went straight to the residence of the Fu family. The crowd was relatively crowded, but when they saw her status as a senior in the foundation establishment period, they all gave way to her.

When she saw Fang Dushu through the crowd, there was a hint of joy on her brows.

When she came to the attic of the Fu family, her face had returned to calm: "Brother Fang Xian, let's talk inside, I have something to tell you."

Fang Dushu immediately followed her into the building.

Fu Jigong did not follow, he was already surrounded by disciples of the nearby Fu family, all of them were looking for him to inquire about the relationship between Fang Dushu and Fu Yuqing.

A few months ago, Fu Yuqing built the foundation in Wuyuan City. The grand occasion was unprecedented. All the Fu family members experienced the whole process, but most of them stayed at the foot of the mountain to observe and observe. There were only a few Fu family monks who had contact with Fang Dushu on the top of the mountain. Dozens of direct descendants.

The Fu family team participating in the big competition this time came from all walks of life in Wuyuan City, and most of them were not familiar with Dushu.

When they saw that Fu Yuqing, a monk in the Foundation Establishment Period and a disciple of the Zhenwen Sect, treated Fang Dushu with extra courtesy, and even called him a good brother, they were all very surprised. People who didn't know the details thought that Fu Yuqing had an ambiguous relationship with Fang Dushu Woolen cloth.

Although they are monks, they also have the mentality of watching the excitement, so they gather around Fu Jigong to ask questions.

However, as Fang Dushu and Fu Yuqing went upstairs and opened the secret room restriction, neither of them could hear what was being discussed outside.

"I originally wanted to recommend you to the Zhenwen School, but it might not work now." Fu Yuqing cut to the chase and announced the unpleasant news first.

"What happened?" Fang Dushu couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"After I succeeded in building the foundation, I returned to the Zhenwen School with my senior sister. Not long after, I sent a message that the Zhenwen School wanted to seal the mountain gate. Do you still remember this?" Fu Yuqing whispered to Fang Dushu explained the whole incident.

She didn't fulfill her promise, and she felt guilty, so she was extremely gentle in her tone, occasionally expressing a light sigh to show that she couldn't help herself.

"I was deeply impressed by the matter of Fengshan." Fang Dushu asked: "Is there any close relationship between Fengshan and Miss Fu?"

"This time the mountain was closed for the sake of my master Zhiruo Wenshi. She was comprehending a Taoist scripture and finally achieved consummation." Fu Yuqing briefly mentioned her teacher.

She looked at Fang Dushu at the same level, and her words revealed a hint of helplessness: "After my master comprehended the Daoist scriptures, his cultivation has also broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, and the major sects have sent invitations to her. She wants to leave the Zhenwen School." , to go to the outer sect to practice, and as her apprentice, I will also leave with her."

Fang Dushu couldn't keep up with her rhythm, and said strangely: "This...you are not mistaken, are monks also able to change jobs?"
