Chapter 005 Silver Medal
There is a thin circle engraved on the front of the silver medal, and two spiral lines engraved in the circle. Whether it is the lines of the circle or this pattern, they are as exquisite and standard as the laws of the Qin Empire, without any harshness and no flaws are found.
There is also a thin circle on the back of the silver medal, but there is another square in the circle. There are vertical lines, long or short, engraved inside the square.
The vertical lines are also very fine, but there is no pattern. They are obviously a bit messy, forming an indescribable contrast with the extremely exquisite craftsmanship, but they also exude a modern feeling that is completely different from this ancient empire.
Wuji was both surprised and delighted. He had seen something similar, in the solemn temple in the center of the town.
The only major affairs of the country are sacrifices and warriors. The only thing that can be compared with warriors in the Qin Empire is the clergy. The specific understanding of Wuji is the priests in the temple - those who lead the people to sacrifice to the gods on holidays.
Priests were transcendents in the strict class system of the Qin Empire. They were not under the jurisdiction of local governments, did not have to work or fight, but enjoyed treatment that ordinary people could not imagine.
If becoming a warrior is the dream of every young man, then becoming a priest is a luxury that he dares not even think about.
The priests in the temple all came from Xianyang, the empire of the Great Qin Empire. In the thousand-year history of Wohu Town, more than a dozen officials of different ranks have been issued, but they have never produced priests, and they have never even heard of them in Jiangdu County.
For ordinary people like Wuji, the priests are like the God they worship, living in the clouds. It is a rare honor to see them once. If you can say a word or two to the priest, it will be like being favored by the gods.
At the age of twelve, Wuji participated in the awakening test and saw the priests in the temple from afar. On the chest of their robes, he had seen badges similar to this silver medal: a piece of gray cloth with a diameter of about three inches, embroidered with two spiral lines entangled with each other, and thin lines were connected between the spiral lines.
It is said that they were the ancestors of humans, Fuxi and Nuwa, but in the eyes of Wuji, a doctor of genetic engineering, this figure has another meaning: DNA.
DNA contains all the information about humans. The image of Fuxi and Nuwa mating is the anthropomorphism of the double helix structure of DNA. It is normal to say that it is the ancestor god of human beings and worship it. It is even more direct to create new species by changing the structure of DNA.
If it weren't for the lack of suitable equipment, Wuji might have tested the DNA of himself and the people around him to see where the deformation ability comes from.
Wuji didn't know if the composition in this world was the same as what he knew. This silver medal was not exactly the same as the logo of the temple priest, and I don't know if it would be useful. But he had to bet. Since he could not become a warrior, he could only hope to become a priest, even if the hope was slim.
If Zhao Hu could become the temple priest, even if that predecessor of the tiger life was the mayor, he would have no choice but to do anything to him.
This may be his only chance to survive in the Qin Empire. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Wuji raised his head, looked at the sun in the sky, carefully placed the silver medal in his close-fitting pocket, then picked up the rag and wiped the wooden table again and again.
But for some reason, he couldn't do anything without distractions this time. The messy lines on the back of the silver medal were circling in his mind.
He had an indescribable feeling that these lines seemed familiar and might have hidden some secrets, and this secret was more precious than the silver medal itself, and was enough to change his life.
...
Wohu Town, temple.
Dozens of young girls were waiting quietly in the courtyard outside the temple, holding their breath and no one dared to speak.
They all come to undergo the final test, and the results of the test will determine their future: whether to enter the army, become a warrior of the empire, or become an ordinary person, engage in humiliating work, and live a humiliating life, will be revealed here.
It is impossible to say that you are not nervous. The suppressed breathing and the nervous heart are the clearest sounds at this moment.
Zhao Hu was among them, and he was equally nervous. However, compared to others, he was more excited.
Before entering the temple, he saw the carriage pulled by the centaur knight outside the temple, and several centaur knights, who were the people he met at Wuji's tea stall not long ago. When he thought of the smile of the young man in brocade asked his name, he was a little expectant.
If they were the ones who presided over today’s test, then his future would be really bright. If the Centaur Knight is at least...
Zhao Hu thought for a long time, and with his experience, he still couldn't think of what kind of noble man that young man in brocade would be. He only knew that he must be very noble and absolutely unique.
According to his village elder father, there has been such a situation before. Before a powerful and powerful child was about to join the army, he would preside over a test and select some promising people to be subordinates or servants.
According to unwritten regulations, the person who presides over the test is the examinee's attendant, and the examinee has to respect and serve him all his life. Of course, the examinee will also give appropriate rewards, such as promoting his future.
Having a strong master is something that many people dream of, and Zhao Hu is no exception. Thinking about the strength of that servant, Zhao Hu dared not hope to become a servant of the young man in the brocade. He only hopes to be an ordinary subordinate. Even so, he is not sure.
It is not that easy to get to the powerful.
Zhao Hu lowered his head, but his body stood straight, still as loose as he was. He wanted to show his best side, attract the attention of the young man in a brocade, and win his favor.
But at this moment, his stomach felt a little uncomfortable and rumbling, and he actually had the meaning of wanting convenience.
Wouldn't it cause trouble for yourself to go to the convenience at this time? Zhao Hu was a little hesitant and wanted to stick to it. The test is very important, but the process is not complicated and the time is not long. If it's convenient for him, it will be troublesome.
Heaven comes from the will of man. At this time, a temple priest walked out of it, looked at the young men standing in the courtyard, and said loudly: "Be careful, the test begins now, the person who hears the name comes in. Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu, who is Zhao Hu?"
