Chapter 31 Desire and Desire
In addition to the more than 300 children brought by the county magistrate from Qiwu County, other local officials also sent nearly a thousand children. Unlike the high profile of the county magistrate, the children sent by other prefectures seemed to be intentionally concealing the superior officials.
These local officials were not able to see a battle at Lingzhengmen, and did not see the style of the Qing King.
And these local officials have no chance to meet their immediate superiors, the county magistrate.
As the morning of the second day rose, when some local officials saw the county magistrate in the hall, all the officials looked very ugly.
Taoist Yuan Qing, who was in charge of this recruitment conference, naturally understood the meaning of the officials.
However, Yuan Qing seemed to automatically ignore the mood of officials from all sides, but only chuckled in the hall, but he didn't even say anything to the officials from all over the place.
This made many local officials dissatisfied, but no one dared to hang his dissatisfaction on his face for this young and somewhat overly-deserved immortal master. He heard from the disciples of Lingzheng Gate that Yuan Qing had fought with the holy powerhouses of the Changfeng Empire at the mountain gate, and no one dared to treat Yuan Qing as an ordinary person.
Even Zhu Le, the county magistrate, was full of stimulation in his heart.
Although many people do not understand what the holy realm is, these officials can hear that the powerful people in the holy realm are definitely an unparalleled existence.
Yuan Qing looked at everyone, but a trace of anger flashed slightly in his eyes.
The words of these people were not simply to send children from their prefectures and counties to come. What was the purpose of them, but Yuan Qing was a little angry.
Although Qingwang's border patrol has been well known to everyone on the Jiuzhou Continent.
However, the Qing King arrived at the border early and the newspaper secretly arrived at Lingzheng Gate. Both the royal family of the Qingyu Empire and the Lingzheng Gate were kept secret.
However, in this current situation, not only other empires have learned about the whereabouts of the Qing King, but many cultivators have learned about the secret operation of the Qing King. Moreover, these local officials must have known about the whereabouts of the Qing King.
However, these local officials did not dare to come to see the Qing King blatantly.
Otherwise, there would never be any officials from all sides to recruit disciples in Lingzhengmen.
Yuan Qing could see the purposes and faces of officials from all sides, but he didn't even feel polite to officials from all sides.
After a bell rang out from the Lingzheng Gate Hall, Yuan Qing sneered and walked towards the back mountain in Lingzheng Gate. The officials followed Yuan Qing all the way, and saw the spirit fish swimming in the lake, birds cried in the sky, and the auspicious beasts cried from time to time in the forest, which attracted the surprise of these officials.
Everyone followed Yuan Qing to a lake, but saw that this lake was different from the lake I had seen before. Other lakes were clear and the fish were playing, full of vitality.
However, the water in this lake is turbid and the fog on the lake surface is full of fog, but it is impossible to see clearly three feet away.
Thousands of children were waiting by the lake, but they were the children who had passed the first level and the children sent by the county and prefectures and counties. However, the children sent by the government were all arrogant, but they did not take the children like Dahu seriously at all. For these children, they were born superior in front of Dahu and others.
Yuan Qing saw everything in his eyes, his eyes flashed, but he said loudly: "Dear children, after discussion with the head of the sect and his brothers, he decided that the rules of this year's disciple recruitment conference must be changed. In the past, as long as the first level or the government sends it, as long as all the children are willing, they can become external servant disciples of the sect. This year, I received the order from the head of the sect and only recruit a maximum of 100 disciples this year."
Hearing this, the officials and the children whispered one after another, but they obviously did not expect such a result.
The number of quotas for these 100 disciples seems to be very large, but everyone knows that the quotas are really limited. The minimum number of children sent by officials from various places is 70 or 80. The county magistrate's office has sent the most, and there are more than 300 people. Unlike previous years, even if only children from the county magistrate's office are recruited, at least more than 200 people must be eliminated. This situation has never been encountered before.
A strange look flashed in Zhu Le's eyes: "I dare to ask Master Yuan Qing, how do these hundred children choose?"
"You should choose the best." Yuan Qing chuckled.
Zhu Le pointed to a group of children who passed the imperial examination and said in a deep voice: "I believe that Master Yuanqing also knew that these children also came from Qiwu County. But these people did not have the approval certificate from the government, so they were not qualified to enter the Lingzheng Gate. Moreover, among these children, twenty-six of them were refugees who had just entered Qiwu County. They now have no household registration in the government. I wonder if they can be disqualified from the trial qualification of these thirty people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, other officials also repeatedly said yes.
For everyone, the rules for enrolling disciples in Lingzhengmen have changed this year. As long as one competitor is missing, the children they bring will have a little more chance of success.
Yuan Qing laughed: "Mr. Zhu is wrong. In Yuan Qing's eyes, all living beings are equal. Whether it is the princes and grandsons, or the poor people, they are equal. Even if these children can pass the first level, they are naturally qualified to be selected. In fact, as long as the children brought by the adults are excellent enough, they will naturally be selected."
An official said in a deep voice: "But,,,,,"
Yuan Qing waved his Taoist robe, but stopped the man: "If that adult is not confident about choosing disciples in Lingzhengmen this time, he can naturally leave with the children he brought. Even if all adults want to leave with the children, Lingzhengmen will not be able to recruit a disciple this time, and they will never be banned from being qualified for selection."
As he spoke, Yuan Qing's eyes were filled with anger.
"People who practice Taoism are originally fighting for fate with the heaven." The voice of Taoist Ziqing came from the fog: "The practitioners are going upstream in the vast world, with hundreds of boats competing for the current. If they do not have a confident heart, even if they send their children to the Great Dao, they will only be abandoned by the Great Dao."
The officials' faces turned red, but they were no longer embarrassed to speak.
Yuan Qing smiled slightly at the children: "This second level trial is very simple. Just walk from the fog to the other side of the lake and take a piece of branch in front of Senior Brother Ziqing, and you will complete the second level. Of course, the disciples recruited this time are just the children who have obtained branches in the first hundred, and they are out of date."
An official whispered: "Immortal Master Yuanqing, these children have no cultivation, how can they walk through the lake?"
"You don't know." Yuan Qing chuckled: "This is just a formation set up by several Supreme Elders. The lake we see is just a virtual realm. Anyone can walk through this lake, but what they see is just a desire in their hearts. Some people can walk to the other side, but some people will nostalgia in the road. Maybe some children walk past it in a short time, and maybe they may not be able to walk to the other side for the rest of their lives."
After saying that, he hugged everyone: "Now, all the children can start walking over. Remember, no matter how many people they can walk over, the disciples they recruit in the end are only in the top 100." As he spoke, his eyes swept the tiger.
The big tiger felt something and closed his eyes and pondered.
The children looked at each other. Although Yuan Qing said that this was just an illusion, no one dared to walk up the lake first when facing the turbid lake water.
Seeing that no one of the thousands of children present dared to walk up the lake, Yuan Qing chuckled and said nothing.
Zhu Le and all the officials urged the children to walk up the lake, but no one dared to walk forward.
Tiedan gritted her teeth and walked to the lake first.
However, there was no sound of falling into the lake as imagined. Tiedan's figure disappeared into the fog in a blink of an eye.
The children suddenly became in chaos at this time, and countless children rushed to jump into the lake, and disappeared into the fog in a blink of an eye. The big tiger was still standing by the lake and closed its eyes and pondering, and did not walk into the fog in the lake like the children. The tiger pulled the big tiger to go up to the lake, but the big tiger was motionless and just pondering.
"Oh." Hu Ya sighed, but she took the children from the village into the lake and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
After about half a stick of incense, a green light flashed on the lake, but a name appeared in the air: Zhuo Ziyi.
Yuan Qing frowned slightly, and saw that Zhuo Ziyi was walking out of the fog so quickly that it exceeded the estimate.
Then a green light flashed in the air, revealing the second name: Zhuo Donglai.
"Zhuo surname." A middle-aged official position bowed to an old official in the prefecture: "Congratulations to the prefecture Zhuo, the prefecture of Zhuo came to see off disciples this time, but only the disciples of Zhuo surname Zhuo have children with the surname Zhuo. The surname Zhuo surname is a big surname under the jurisdiction of Zhuo, but unexpectedly, Dong'anzhou has a outstanding population and a second place in this recruitment of disciples."
The official surnamed Zhuo chuckled repeatedly, and the other officials also stepped forward to congratulate him.
While speaking, a green light appeared in the air again: Zhang Ergou.
"Oh my god,,,,,,,," the officials couldn't help but swear at the same time.
The official surnamed Zhuo frowned repeatedly: "This is a child from that prefecture, and he actually took out such a shocking name. The Tanhualang, who recruited disciples in Lingzhengmen, should be a son of extraordinary demeanor, even if he is not a child full of knowledge, he should be a son of extraordinary demeanor. This name is simply a disgrace."
Yuan Qing looked at Dahu thoughtfully, but Dahu was still closing his eyes and pondering, as if he had not paid attention to the rules that Yuan Qing said. Moreover, at this time, a child had already walked to the other side to pass the test, and Dahu seemed to have never seen it at all. On his face, he showed a calmness that was inconsistent with his age.
"Did I misread this child?" Yuan Qing frowned repeatedly.
Names flashed in the air.
However, the names in the air were very strange. Although there were eight children with the surname Zhuo in the top ten children with the surname Zhuo, the official surname Zhuo couldn't stop laughing. Some names flashed one after another in the air, and Lin Yu and Lin Xiang had already appeared. By the time of the top fifty, there were twenty-one children in the surname Zhuo, which made the official surname Zhuo sweat on his forehead. The official surname Zhuo first predicted that it would be a blessing that the children he brought with him would have passed by at most three or five people. However, at this time, the names of the children with the surname Zhuo were revealed one after another, but even the official could not figure it out.
According to the roster that the old official carried with him, there were only 18 children with the surname Zhuo among the children he brought this time. Even if all the eighteen children passed, where did the other three children come from?
However, the other officials became more and more excited and kept congratulating him. Even Zhu Le, the immediate boss, couldn't help but put down his identity and went forward to politely.
After the ninthly name of the 91st person appeared, Dahu suddenly opened his eyes and walked into the fog.
Yuan Qing frowned repeatedly, his eyes full of angering his unconfrontational loss.
When other officials saw Dahu, they walked into the fog, but they couldn't help but shake their heads.
When the ninth name appeared, Yuan Qing's face became very strange.
Zhuo Junlin.
It was just three words, but it seemed like a heavy hammer hit in Yuan Qing's heart.
Too fast.
Others don’t know who this child named Zhuo Junlin is, so naturally they won’t be too shocked. But Yuan Qing knew very well that this name was the big tiger who finally walked into the fog.
It took less than a moment for this child to walk into the fog to get out of the fog. Not to mention that Zhuo Ziyi, who was already at the top of the list, was far from reaching the fog, even if he had entered the fog with his cultivation level in the Qihai Realm, he was more than twice as fast as himself.
"What kind of monster is this?" Yuan Qing couldn't help but be shocked.
When the 100th name appeared, the fog had disappeared. Then the lake had disappeared. When they saw it, everyone was in a square. Countless children fell to the ground, with a look of infatuation in their eyes. Some children were holding gravels and stuffing them into their sleeves. Some children held wooden pillars in their hands, with their eyes showing strange colors.
The three children were hugging each other in the field, dressed in rags, but they were particularly conspicuous.
The three children's eyes showed fear and shivered.
With Yuan Qing's sleeves waved, all the demented children in the field couldn't help but recovered their minds.
The children seemed to know what they had experienced, and they returned to their familiar officials in a daze. Suddenly, a scream was heard in the field, and the official surnamed Zhuo opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The only four children in the field were hugging each other, looking confused, but they didn't know where they should go.
However, the big tiger walked to the three children in big strides and whispered a few soft words. However, the three children gradually stopped crying and slowly retreated aside.,,,,,
