Chapter 231 Preliminary Screening! One Year Old

Jade City, Demon Suppression Division.

Zhang Lingshan and Kong Dagui went straight to see Cang Changzhen as soon as possible.

"came back."

The warehouse manager was really working on documents at his desk. He looked up at the two of them and his eyes suddenly fixed on Kong Dagui.

But he quickly turned his gaze to Zhang Lingshan and asked, "Has your father been rescued?"

"I've been rescued. Thank you for your concern, sir."

Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands.

Cang Changzhen nodded and said, "It's good that he is rescued. Then you can prepare for the selection of the Demon Suppressor with peace of mind."

"Yes. But I don't know when the preliminary screening will begin. I'm afraid it won't be enough time because I'll be seventeen in a month."

Zhang Lingshan asked.

Kuraga Makoto frowned and said, "You will be seventeen in a month. In that case, without further ado, I will take you there myself."

"Thank you, sir."

"Let's go."

Cang Changzhen was very decisive. He let Kong Dagui rest on his own, and then took Zhang Lingshan into the room in the backyard.

He placed his handprint on the wall, and a door leading to the underground room opened.

Follow the passage all the way down.

Walking deeper, you will see an underground circular palace, like an upside-down bowl.

The bowl is supported by nine huge stone pillars.

Zhang Lingshan noticed that there were different runes engraved on the nine stone pillars, but unfortunately the patterns were too complicated for him to recognize them.

If Taoist Tianhe were here, he would probably understand a little bit.

But even though Zhang Lingshan didn't know much about formations and runes, he knew that he was already in a formation at the moment.

However, this formation has not been activated. Even if it has been activated, it is not a killing formation, so there is no need to worry too much.

"Come over to me, grab my shoulders, and don't let go."

Cang Changzhen stopped in front of a stone pillar and gave instructions.

Zhang Lingshan immediately followed and grabbed Cang Changzhen’s shoulder with his right hand. He felt that this man’s shoulder was very hard, which showed that he had a very strong physique. He was worthy of being the strongest man in Yuzhou.

"Eight Divine Pillars, help me find the trail. Quick!"

I saw Cang Changzhen spread out his right hand and pressed it on the stone pillar. At the same time, he made a gesture with his left hand and shouted loudly.

Wow!
The sky and the earth suddenly changed, and the foggy atmosphere immediately engulfed Zhang Lingshan and Cang Changzhen.

Zhang Lingshan's mind moved: "Is this the fog world?"

It turns out that the stone pillar is the passage into the fog world.

But it's just a passage to enter the fog world. Is it necessary to make it so mysterious?

You should know that Ye Zi can easily find the passage to the fog world, and by smashing a bright jade bead, she can also force her way into the fog world.

Even without these means, there is still a chance to enter the fog world by finding a mountain temple stronghold built by a hidden sect.

It can be seen that there are many ways to enter the fog world.

There's no need to make it as mysterious as the Demon Suppression Division.

So what’s the point?

correct.

The moment Zhang Lingshan had the doubt, he figured it out.

Because the purpose of this trip is not to enter the fog world, but to participate in the preliminary screening for the selection of Demon Suppressors.

Then think about what Kuraga Makoto said when he entered.

The answer is ready to come out.

'It seems that the stone pillar formation has a tracking effect and can take us directly to the destination we have initially selected.'

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.

"Have you been to the Mist Realm?" Cang Changzhen suddenly asked.

Because most people will be nervous when they first enter the fog world, especially when they are overwhelmed by the foggy and sticky atmosphere, which will make people panic.

But Zhang Lingshan didn't look nervous at all, on the contrary he was extremely calm.

If you haven't been to the fog world, how do you explain it?

Zhang Lingshan naturally knew this truth, so he honestly said: "When I was tracking down the Tianshi Sect with Kong Jianshou, I accidentally entered the mountain temple. Who knew that it was the base of a hidden sect, and I entered the fog world in a daze."

"I see."

Cang Changzhen nodded and said, "Since you have entered the fog world and can get out, I don't need to waste my breath. I'll ask you a question. What do you think is different from entering the fog world this time?"

Zhang Lingshan pretended to be in deep thought, and then said, "When we entered the fog world before, we suddenly changed into a completely different world. But this time, after such a long time, we are still in the fog, following the flow of the fog. It seems that this flow of fog is taking us somewhere?"

"clever!"

Cang Changzhen praised and said with a smile: "That's right. Then tell me where we are going?"

"The location for the initial screening of the Demon Suppressor selection?"

Zhang Lingshan guessed.

I thought to myself, this warehouse manager really treats me like a three-year-old child, asking such an obvious question.

If you have the guts, ask the four-year-old.

"Not bad!"

Cang Changzhen nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "We will be there soon. Let me remind you that if you lie about your age, you will die here. Even if I want to protect you, I can't. Now if you are willing to tell the truth and there is still room for regret, I will take you back immediately."

"I have always told the truth."

Zhang Lingshan said without panic.

Cang Changzhen said: "It's good to be true, but I'm afraid that you yourself have remembered your birth time wrong, or your parents have remembered it wrong. If it is eventually found that your age does not match, you will die."

"This……"

Zhang Lingshan suddenly felt uneasy.

God knows whether my parents will remember things incorrectly, not to mention that I traveled through time and space and my memory may not be complete.

Even if I am the original body, what if my brain is not very smart and I forget the date?
If an accident really happens, who can I turn to for justice?

His grandma's.

Neither Cang Changzhen nor Kong Dagui made it clear earlier. If you had made it clear earlier, I might not have come.

"But if you're not deliberately hiding it, I'll protect you."

Kuragama finally said something reassuring, but added: "It's just that you will bleed a lot, and you have to pay me back when the time comes."

"..."

Zhang Lingshan was speechless.

It turned out to be waiting for him here.

This is a warning to myself in advance. If I fail the initial screening, I will have to sell myself to work for the warehouse manager.

After all, my strength is here.

Failure to pass the initial screening only means that the age is not appropriate and has nothing to do with ability.

Even though he is now forty years old, such strength is worth cultivating. Cang Chang is not a fool and can naturally see his own value.

All in all, regardless of whether I pass the initial screening or not, the warehouse manager will not lose out anyway, otherwise he would not be so enthusiastic to send me here in person.

"I understand! Thank you, Boss Cang."

Since Zhang Lingshan knew the other party's thoughts, he also addressed him the same way as Kong Dagui and no longer called him "Mr. Pacification Envoy".

As expected, Cang Changzhen smiled, very satisfied with the title of Cang Lao Da, and said with a smile: "Xiaoshan, relax, this initial screening test is very simple. Look, that house, we are here!"

Zhang Lingshan looked carefully and saw a house.

But it was not the palace he had imagined, but just a small thatched hut surrounded by a fence with some unknown flowers and plants planted in the yard.

There is a pavilion in the center.

There was an old man sitting in the pavilion with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep. He heard the footsteps of Cang Changzhen and Zhang Lingshan, then he opened his eyes and said, "It's you, Old Cang. Why are you here again? Are you ready to set off as scheduled?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Lingshan and asked in surprise, "Why did you change someone? Isn't it your nephew Cang Youer? Could it be that there is another good candidate?"

"Not bad, haha."

Cang Changzhen laughed: "I didn't expect it, Lao Wang, we have two people from Yuzhou participating in the selection of Demon Suppression Envoys this time! God bless Yuzhou!"

"Haha, what two people? This person hasn't even passed the initial screening." The old man poured cold water on him unceremoniously.

Cang Changzhen snorted: "Why don't you test it quickly?"

"Test, test, test."

As the old man spoke, he took out a packet of medicine powder from his arms and sprinkled it into an empty teacup. Then he poured a cup of tea into it and handed it to Zhang Lingshan, saying, "Little brother, please have some tea."

"Thank you."

Zhang Lingshan picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp.

Although he didn't know what the powder was used for, he was not afraid at all. Even if it was highly poisonous, he could withstand more than 50 million energy points.

"How does it taste?" the old man asked with a smile.

Zhang Lingshan said truthfully: "It's a bit sour and not tasty."

"Ha ha!"

The old man laughed: "You are telling the truth. Okay, the drug has started to take effect. I have a stone here. You just hold the stone with both hands."

As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, placed a stone three times the size of a goose egg on the table, and motioned Zhang Lingshan to pick it up.

Zhang Lingshan stretched out his hand as he was told, and as soon as he hugged the stone, he felt something in his body suddenly begin to flow and rush into the stone.

'Is it the power of the powder?'

Zhang Lingshan's heart moved and he understood.

This powder is not a poison. Its function is very simple. It goes around in your body and analyzes your age through internal system testing.

And now, the information detected is fed back to the stone.

soon.

Zhang Lingshan felt that all the medicinal power in his body had flowed away.

Wow.

The stone in his hand suddenly glowed, and a large word immediately floated on top of the stone: "One."

"Um!?"

The old man was startled, snatched the stone from Zhang Lingshan's hand, and started hitting it.

Cang Chang Zhen also looked surprised: "What's going on? One year old? You said he is one year old for such a big man? This detection stone can't be broken."

"Uh……"

Zhang Lingshan showed just the right amount of confusion and astonishment on his face.

But my heart was shocked.

Because according to the time I traveled through, only a little over a year has passed.

This detection stone is so amazing that it can detect one’s soul time?

clap clap.

The old man continued hammering, muttering, "I've long said this testing stone is unreliable. It's broken after only a few uses..."

Just saying.

The words floating on the stone flickered and changed to: "Sixteen."

"Well, okay, you really deserve a beating, just a few slaps will do."

The old man put the stone away with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, not bad. He is so strong at the age of sixteen. He is much stronger than your nephew Cang Youer. What's the boy's name?"

"Junior Zhang Lingshan."

"Zhang family, Ling generation, so young?" The old man was stunned at first, then shook his head: "No, I almost forgot that you are from our Yuzhou, and have nothing to do with Zhongzhou Zhang family."

Say it.

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "I suggest you change your name."

"Change your name?"

Zhang Lingshan was stunned: "Why?"

The old man said, "Zhongzhou's Zhang family is full of talented people. When you go to Zhongzhou to participate in the selection of demon-suppressing envoys, you will definitely meet the children of the Zhang family. They are very concerned about their generation names. You use the word "Ling", which is a taboo for them. It is equivalent to making the young people two or even three generations older than them. So I suggest you remove the word "Ling" and change your name to Zhang Shan to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Lingshan laughed: "I was born with the name Zhang Lingshan, and I will never change my name or surname. Violating a taboo? I think they violated my taboo!"

Before I traveled through time, my name was Zhang Lingshan, and after I traveled through time, I was still Zhang Lingshan. God didn’t let him change his name. So how can your shitty Zhongzhou Zhang family make him change his name?

"Ha ha!"

The old man also laughed: "Well said! That's the way it should be. Since you have participated in the selection of Demon Suppressors, you can't be a coward. If you really change your name, it means you have lost from the beginning. Not bad, not bad, Lao Cang, this time our Yuzhou has produced a good seedling, it seems that both of us have a chance to return to Zhongzhou."

Cang Changzhen said: "After so many years, it's time for something good to happen. But are you sure you don't want to test it again? What if the age is wrong? If we go to Zhongzhou for a re-test and find that the age is wrong, not only will our efforts be in vain, but we will also be punished."

The old man nodded heavily. "That's right. To be on the safe side, we should do a test. Come on, Zhang Lingshan, drink another packet of medicine powder. Because you are big, I guess the previous dose was not enough, so I'll give you another packet."

"Ok."

Zhang Lingshan felt helpless, but also a little curious whether this testing stone and powder could really measure his age when he traveled through time.

to this end.

This time he closed his eyes, forced his mind to shut down, and refused to think.

wrong.

It is impossible not to think.

Got to think of something.

Zhang Lingshan's heart moved, and he began to recite the "Jade Emperor's Fetal Breathing Sutra", then hugged the stone with both hands.

"sixteen!"

The old man shouted, "This time it's accurate. I didn't take enough medicine powder. Zhang Lingshan, remember to take two packets after you go to Zhongzhou."

"it is good."

Zhang Lingshan responded loudly.

Although I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t take enough medicine powder, I will have to recite the "Jade Emperor's Fetal Breathing Sutra" when I arrive in Zhongzhou for review in the future to be on the safe side.

"Come here, Zhang Lingshan. Your physique gives people a good impression. Let me, Old Wang, feel it for you and give you some pointers. By the way, my name is Wang Chong, you can just call me Old Wang."

As the old man spoke, he started to attack at a very fast speed, and his palms hit Zhang Lingshan hundreds of times like flying.

Zhang Lingshan's heart trembled.

This old man is so fast.

I was caught off guard and had no time to stop it.

"Not bad, not bad. The skin, muscles, fascia, and bones are all first-rate and contain enormous energy."

The more Wang Chong looked at Zhang Lingshan, the happier he became. He pulled Cang Changzhen closer and couldn't help but sigh, "Your nephew Cang Youer has an extraordinary spiritual talent, and Zhang Lingshan has an extraordinary physical talent. If the two of them work together, at least one of them can pass the selection. Great, great!"

He couldn't help but be excited.

Because he made a mistake that year, he was sent here for testing.

It's almost impossible to go back.

But if Zhang Lingshan or Cang Youer passed the selection, Wang Chong would also be honored and could take advantage of their luck to be pardoned and return to Yuzhou.
