The years when I explored the fairyland

If Chu Zhou were to comment on this disciple-recruiting ceremony?

He could only say: one word, chaos.

Two words, too chaotic.

Five words, damn, it was really chaotic!

First of all, as the master of the temple, he seriously underestimated the influence of Xuanzhen Temple and the shock that he, a warrior who was not even a congenital but killed congenitals like a butcher, brought to outsiders.

Then, there was a full month of fermentation time.

The result was that more and more people came, not to mention those in Baisha County, almost everyone with the right age in the family came to try it.

Further away, in various places in Tianquan County, all the families and forces with some power participated more or less.

Even outside Tianquan County, the counties and prefectures in Chishui Prefecture, after hearing the news, also sent a lot of people.

No one knows how much water is mixed in this.

In addition, Xuanzhen Temple’s preparations were seriously insufficient. Almost none of the manpower, materials, houses, food, screening, etc. were complete.

In fact, the screening mode prepared by Xuanzhen Temple actually has no mode!

According to Chu Zhou's "let it go" plan, it means to touch the root bones, check the physique, and do some simple thinking and logic questions. It is best to be literate and have reading ability.

Those who are almost there will pass!

You want to ask about the standard, what standard?

In fact, there is no standard?

As a result, this lack of standard has led to greater chaos.

There are more than 3,000 teenagers of the right age pouring in with a quota of 300 people, and this does not count the subsequent ones who keep coming to try their luck and try their luck.

It's not over yet!

According to the division of Wenxiang Temple, Xuanzhen Temple is now also a martial arts sect that governs two counties. In the local area, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "local snake".

Then, the martial arts sects around come to visit, no problem!

The friendly forces send people to congratulate, no problem!

These people come and send visiting cards, so they have to be entertained.

If the hospitality is not good, others will mutter a few words outside, which will damage the image of Xuanzhen Temple.

Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Chu Zhou directly asked the county lord Ji Mingqian for help, and the county lieutenant Wang family, the county magistrate Zhao family, and the chief clerk Gu family, all of whom were pulled in to intervene at the same time.

Of course, even if they join, command and dispatch is still a big problem.

Fan Zhong is loyal enough, but he has never experienced such a big scene, so naturally he has no experience!

So, at this time, the chief steward of Wenxiang Temple, Hao Songqing, came to visit.

Chu Zhou agreed to the cooperation of the flesh and blood of the spirit beast, the production of the "calming and soul-soothing incense", and the 40-60 split between the two sides without hesitation.

The only request was that Hao Songqing help to dispatch and arrange. Chu Zhou was impressed by his internal affairs ability.

Hao Songqing did not refuse, but he did not do it himself. Instead, he followed Fan Zhong and let Fan Zhong dispatch and coordinate, and he did the work of checking and filling in the gaps.

Fan Zhong was familiar with the people and things here, and he had rich experience. The combination of the two maintained the ceremony that was about to collapse.

As a result, Wei Jinkuiding had stopped at the mountain gate and was doing the work of diversion.

Those who wanted to become disciples registered on the left and followed the process; those who wanted to visit went to the right and entered Xuanzhen Temple along the mountain path.

As for Xu Cheng, he was responsible for the food, set up dozens of big pots, and dealt with all kinds of food, vegetables, cooks, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day.

Yi Huai was in charge of the backyard, arranging the accommodation of personnel, distributing toiletries, and solving the mess of a group of young people.

As for Fan Tiehu, he was taciturn and had a strong deterrent power. He was responsible for the screening of outer disciples.

It is worth mentioning that because there were too many people, the plan set before could only be regarded as a preliminary selection.

In other words, as long as they were almost the same, they would all stay, be fed and provided with accommodation.

But this was not the final result!

After the ceremony, Xuanzhen Temple will conduct corresponding training and teaching, but this training adopts the elimination system.

The assessment is tentatively scheduled at the end of each month. At this time next year, those who can stay will be considered as the formal outer disciples of Xuanzhen Temple.

This plan was naturally thought of by Chu Zhou, which is to extend the matters that need to be resolved in a short period of time to a year, which can also greatly relieve the pressure of Xuanzhen Temple at this stage.

With this policy, it is estimated that in the next year, this group of young people will not dare to relax for a moment and will be able to roll up their sleeves.

Then there is Wei Fangjie, who is the most active and clever among the four. He is mainly responsible for welcoming guests. He rushes on the mountain road every day, or arranges people to stay in Baisha City.

As for Chu Zhou, he has never left the reception room, receiving waves of visitors.

Listen to their self-introductions, chat with them, and then compliment each other on business. From time to time, he has to solve some of their almost unreasonable requests.

For example, share some viper blood and flesh.

In fact, Chu Zhou really didn't remember many names. The only thing he remembered was his stomach filled with tea and his face that was frozen with laughter.

The original plan was that the disciple-recruiting ceremony would end in three days, but in fact, it was not on track until three days later, and it was dragged on until the eighth day before it was truly completed.

Those who should be sent away were sent away, and those who should stay were left behind. The number of disciples recruited by Xuanzhen Temple was as high as 2,600.

If only 300 were left in the end, nearly 80% to 90% would have to be eliminated, which was definitely a selection of the best from the best.

…

Xuanzhen Temple,

In the reception room.

A group of people all slumped in their chairs. Chu Zhou, Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie had completely indulged themselves and didn't care about their image.

Fan Zhong and Wei Jinkui, on the other hand, looked exhausted, but they still maintained their sitting posture.

Only because there was an outsider here, Hao Songqing, the chief steward of Wenxiang Temple.

This person was quite leisurely, as if such tedious things had little impact on him.

"It's finally over. How can the Three Pure Ones be so tired?"

This was a complaint from Yi Huai, expressing the thoughts of everyone.

Xu Cheng continued, "The problem is that this is only the first time. In the future, if you come again..."

Yi Huai was shocked: "Will you come again in the future?"

Wei Fangjie said, "As the sect grows, we will always have to recruit disciples. In the future, won't we have to come once a year?"

Fan Tiehu looked at Chu Zhou and asked, "Big Brother, do you really have to come once a year?"

Chu Zhou paused and said, "Let's talk about the future later!"

Hao Songqing smiled and said in a gentle voice, "The main reason for Xuanzhen Temple is that it has no experience in hosting such a large-scale celebration, and has not estimated the scale.

With this experience, the next time it is held, it will not be so hectic.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the master of the temple still insists on this way of recruiting disciples?"

There was a hint of testing in his words. Chu Zhou's method of recruiting disciples was really incompatible with this world.

In fact, according to Chu Zhou's understanding, the method of selecting disciples in the martial arts sects in this world is a combination of the recommendation system and the assessment system.

Starting from the martial arts hall, the best disciples will be sent to the upper sect, and then the upper sect will assess them. After passing the assessment, they will stay in the upper sect for further study.

In this way, it will not be as busy as Xuanzhen Temple, and the loyalty of the disciples will be guaranteed as much as possible.

Of course, there are also some boys with good qualifications who are accepted as disciples by wandering masters and brought into the sect.

But this is a very small number of lucky people, not the mainstream.

However, Chu Zhou actually still likes this way now, not because it is so good, but because it gives everyone the same opportunity.

Whether it is a rich young master, a young man from a martial arts hall, or a farmer's son,

here, they are almost at the same starting line, and how far you can go depends on your own efforts.

This may not change the world, but he thinks this fairness is very important.

However, facing the hint in Hao Songqing's words, he repeated what he had just said: "Let's talk about the future later!"

Tilting his head slightly, Chu Zhou looked at Hao Songqing and said: "This time, I really thank Housekeeper Hao for his help, otherwise, my Xuanzhen Temple would be a joke."

"Nothing, it should be!"

Hao Songqing said this, and then said: "But now that the things here are over, I should go back."

When Chu Zhou heard this, he also sat up straight, his expression became more serious, and said: "This time it is indeed me who delayed Housekeeper Hao's trip, sorry!

I have asked people to prepare ten jars of viper blood, totaling about 100 kilograms, and there are more than 100 kilograms of snake meat, please take it back.

As for the distribution method, it's as you said, I have six masters around me, but I only want the 'Soul-Calming Incense', okay!"

"Of course!"

In that case, I will take my leave first.

"I'll see you off."

Chu Zhou stood up, and the others naturally moved as well. They sent Hao Songqing to the entrance of the main hall before they stopped!

It must be said that although this man is just a housekeeper, he has been respected by Xuanzhen Temple during this period, and his ability is indeed extraordinary.

When everyone returned to Xuanzhen Temple again, Chu Zhou sat at the head, and he asked everyone else to sit down, including Fan Zhong, and asked Tiehu to press him to the chair.

After a pause, Chu Zhou spoke again: "Okay, while everyone is here, I will assign the subsequent tasks."

With one sentence, everyone became energetic.

"Uncle Wei?"

"I'm here."

"You are an old man in the world, and you are familiar with it. From now on, you will be responsible for all the trivial matters of my Xuanzhen Temple. If you are unsure about anything, come to me."

"Okay!"

"Uncle Fan?"

"Master, what do you want?"

"You have to help manage the food, drink, defecation and various internal affairs of thousands of people. You can find a few more people and hire a few more managers to help you share the burden.

Don't be afraid of spending money or having too many people. You have to believe that my Xuanzhen Temple will only continue to grow."

"Yes, Master!"

"Xu Cheng?"

"Big Brother, what do you want?"

"Two things. First, learn medicine and refining medicine from Taoist Qingjing. Second, I have to start planning my own medicine field in Xuanzhen Temple.

This is you In the future, besides cultivation, what else must be done, can it be done? "

Xu Cheng said solemnly: "I will try my best!"

"Yi Huai, Tie Hu, Fang Jie, you three will work with me to build a framework for these disciples to cultivate and get them into shape."

"Yes!!!"

Looking around again, Chu Zhou said: "Of course, the sect's affairs must be dealt with, and personal cultivation cannot be left behind.

When the situation stabilizes a little, I will teach you the real secret of Xuanzhen Temple?"

"The real secret?"

As soon as this was said, it caused a commotion. Yi Huai was bolder and asked directly: "Big Brother, what exactly is the real secret you are talking about?

You were always mysterious before. Can you tell us what we are going to learn?"

This question has actually been asked by more than one person before, and even Wei Jinkui couldn't hold back.

But at that time, Chu Zhou dismissed it with a few words.

Until this time, Chu Zhou faced everyone's questions directly and said: "The true inheritance of Xuanzhen Temple is of course cultivating immortals!!!"

I have been writing and revising it today, and it has taken too long!
