Chapter 85 Be a good citizen!
"Here, take a look at this."
The steward of the Zhang family led the way, taking out a jade talisman pen from time to time and taking the young man to taste it.
"Now, this is the inheritance of the Fu Dao master from five hundred years ago..."
After a while, another page of a talisman book was opened, with mysterious cloud patterns on it, deducing the principles of heaven and earth.
But what was so annoying was that the steward of the Zhang family only showed this page to the young man, then disconnected it at the critical point and closed the talisman book, which made Ren Qiong's eyes widen and he almost cursed the words "broken chapter dog".
The manager was very interested in trying to take advantage of the young man, just like fishing.
Small fish don't matter.
But when you encounter a big fish you like, you have to lure it with scented bait, wait until it is hooked and then grind it back and forth until it exhausts its mind, and then you can achieve success in one fell swoop!
On the surface, he is smiling and smiling, showing a part of the rich heritage of the Zhang family over the years.
These things do not involve the foundation of the Zhang family, which is a combination of the ghost way, the talisman way, the curse way and so on, substituting one's life for one's life, and overcoming tribulations for one's death.
Even so, Ren Qiong was dazzled.
Many of these are rare and unique copies, which are the hard work of one Talisman master after another. They were all snatched secretly by Zhang Jiaming and received into the family, and then they monopolized the inheritance.
'The monopoly of knowledge is the most unsolvable thing...'
'I need to thank the monastery for its existence.'
'Otherwise, they might go too far...'
Ren Qiong lingered in this treasure house of Futang, almost addicted.
It is the fruit of the wisdom and hard work of countless forefathers, and it is hard to buy with a lot of money.
"How's it going, young man? My Zhang family's Talisman inheritance is pretty good, right?"
The steward asked with a smile.
"It's shocking... There is only one stone in the world's talisman, and the Zhang family only has nine!"
Ren Qiong acted like he was absent-minded.
"Then, are you interested in signing a long-term contract with my Zhang family?" The fox tail of the Zhang family gradually emerged, "I, the Zhang family, will train you so that you will have a bright future in the talisman path, and you will work for my Zhang family.
When doing things, all the talismans drawn in the future will belong to my Zhang family. It is fair and just, and no one can be bullied."
He embellished his rhetoric to conceal the nature of the contract of betrayal.
However, Ren Qiong turned his back and became a spirit. He couldn't be more slick, so how could he take the bait?
After all, he was here to check out the truth, not to be treated like a dog.
The young man's expression became clear. At this moment, he looked clear and clear, showing his perseverance and breaking free from all kinds of temptations.
Of course, the person in front of him would inevitably have the thought "This child is not a thing in the pond and must not be kept". Before Ren Qiong could walk out of Zhang's house, he threw a cup as a sign, and three hundred swordsmen and axes rushed out and killed him.
He was hacked to death...
Ren Qiong still deliberately left a three-point margin, playing hard to catch and fishing with his backhand.
"Qiong, I have little talent and little knowledge. I am afraid that I will waste the Zhang family's wealth. That will make me deeply ashamed... I hope to prove myself by taking the Taoist examination!"
There was a trace of longing in the young man's eyes, and his expression was determined.
He said that it was not impossible to work for the Zhang family, but he would have to wait until he passed the Taoist college entrance examination before negotiating the price.
Even if it means selling yourself!
It has to be sold at a good price, right?
The manager of the Zhang family frowned slightly, but the young man who did not immediately deceive him bowed his head and swore an oath to be a bully for the Zhang family, which really made him feel unhappy.
But after thinking about it for a moment - it was only a few days' work at night, the buyout price might be higher, but the final result was still good... He reluctantly accepted this situation.
The frowned brows relaxed and he acted kindly, "Okay, okay! Be ambitious!"
"Indeed, getting admitted to the Taoist Academy is your top priority right now!"
"I, the Zhang family, would like to congratulate you in advance on getting your wish and entering Chilong Taoist Temple."
"From now on, you and I will be a family..."
"By the way, do you need some help and training from the Zhang family? Let you prepare in advance?"
The manager made a show of goodwill and wanted to do some friendly and cost-effective ways to win over.
Unexpectedly, the young man in front of me actually took it "seriously"!
Ren Qiong looked surprised, "Can I still be trained?"
He blinked and made a gesture of emotion.
The steward was choked. He looked at the young man and suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have said anything about "family".
This... hit the snake and follow it with the stick!
But his words had already been spoken, and he really couldn't regret it, so he could only hold on to his airs and hypocritically show the "broad" mind of the Zhang family.
"certainly!"
The steward warned himself to be patient, talk in a gentle tone, and introduce Ren Qiong to the various Fu Dao examinations in the entire Taoist academy.
These are all solid information, and there is not much concealment or deception.
Because at that time, the young man took the exam and went through it himself, and everything became clear.
Deception and concealment have no meaning at all.
Ren Qiong listened carefully. In this regard, he fairly evaluated that the Zhang family was indeed unique.
After all, this is where the profession lies, and it is much more precise than his "Sister Feng" who is flexible and yet to be determined.
Although he is a lecturer in a Taoist academy, he is still involved in witchcraft and Taoism. He is not as good as the Zhang family, who has been immersed in Fu Taoism for many years.
"The way of talismans, its inheritance and origin, is extremely complex. It is one of the four majestic and righteous paths in the hundred arts of cultivation. It is honored alongside pills, formations, and weapons."
"The Taoist Academy's admission of outstanding talents is to inherit and carry forward, and it is always based on a basis. It is to select some qualified people..."
When the manager of the Zhang family said this, he skipped a bit, "In addition to the current assessment of seal script drawing and talismans, there are also some hidden talent and tendency tests..."
"Such as Dragon Seal and Phoenix Seal, Xuanmen Cloud Script, Purple Green Immortal Script, Heavenly Demon True Seal... and so on."
The steward was talking vaguely, but Ren Qiong's ears perked up as he listened.
He refined some key words.
'Dragon, Phoenix, Xuanmen, Immortal, Demon...'
Ren Qiong's eyes fluctuated slightly.
Thanks to his good sister for helping him popularize some of the historical origins of spiritual practice. The most important thing is to understand the essence of Fu Dao, the concepts involved, and the path of domination.
'So, these dragon seals and phoenix seals, Xuanmen cloud scripts, purple and green immortal scripts, and demonic seals... point to one era after another? One order after another?'
The young man hid his doubts in his heart, listened attentively, and from time to time raised some small doubts for the steward to answer.
The manager has no choice but to do one thing and then another, and the sunk costs of investment are constantly increasing - after so much "investment", you can't give up halfway, right?
He thought for a while and took some special things from the shelf nearby.
There are ancient and incomplete stone tablets, dark and ordinary rotten wood, crystal clear jade slips, pure and clear long swords, bloody and weird animal skins... and so on.
There are more or less strange lines on these things, which seem to be composed of words, and they seem to be pictures, depicting some kind of scene, and seem to be giving orders to ghosts and gods from ancient times.
"You can feel it carefully and see if there is any special touch or inexplicable inspiration..."
Bidige
The steward whispered.
Ren Qiong's eyes lit up slightly.
He Tu Luo Shu vibrated lightly in his sea of consciousness.
Touched?
He has it all!
However, he didn't show it, he just pretended to be in a daze, and unconsciously stretched his hand towards the jade slip.
Soon, he "came back to his senses" and asked in "surprise": "What's going on? I actually feel the weight of history echoing in my soul?"
"Haha..." The steward chuckled, "Of course... the way of talisman is that the talisman is the spirit of heaven and earth, and the talisman is the name of the ghosts and gods."
"It can be said that this itself is a fragment that carries a piece of history, and it will naturally give people a heavy feeling in their hearts."
"Whatever you are close to shows what kind of history and order your heart and nature tend to be close to... Of course, this doesn't mean anything, it just roughly determines a direction suitable for development."
"Some masters of Talismanism are good at mobilizing the power of heaven and earth with their Talismans. Their Talismans are magnificent and can use all things."
"There are also masters of Talismanism whose talismans are wonderful and weird, and they move everything around, creating possibilities out of the impossible. They are mysterious and unpredictable."
"..."
"This is the difference between genres, reflected through this."
"Dragon seal and phoenix seal script emphasizes grandeur and grandeur, and has the solemn majesty of the ancient dragon and phoenix."
"Xuanmen Yun Shu pays attention to the movement of the great road and the change of everything."
"The purple and green immortal script, the immortal way is vague, meaningful and transcendent; the real seal script of the devil is wonderful, strange and unimaginable."
"..."
He talked about the Taoist Academy's screening of talents, and then said, "Your tendencies are quite satisfactory. There is nothing wrong with that."
"I see...I have learned a lot."
The young man sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"After judging your talent and tendency, you need to apply what you have learned..." The steward put away the antiques and then continued to explain, "How to use the spirit of Fu Dao to grasp the changes in the world and control the principles of ghosts and gods."
"In this regard, my Zhang family doesn't know much about it...it depends on how the Taoist court proposes the question."
He made a gesture of cupping his hands, making a virtual gesture of greeting to the sky.
"You can only rely on yourself."
The steward spoke to the young man in a pitiful tone.
He was indeed very sorry.
In this regard, Taoist court is quite fair.
It is a comprehensive consideration of talent, innovation, and spirituality that transcends the simple family background.
Even a large and powerful clan can do nothing about it.
'But...that will change soon.'
'The Five Virtues will change. From now on, this test question will be roughly determined, and I will never jump out of this circle again!'
The steward was delighted, as if he had seen a bright future.
…
Ren Qiong's harvest is very rich.
He squeezed out countless important information, allowing him to clearly understand the contents of the Taoist Academy's assessment.
The funds "donated" to the Zhang family to eliminate demons and defend Taoism were used to buy horse bones for thousands of gold, and he received a generous reward.
During a game, the Zhang family truthfully told him the inside story he needed. Normally, this information was kept confidential, but was tacitly blocked by many relevant personnel.
But here, the Zhang family gave everything away just for fishing.
And afterwards, they even pretended to offer support and even returned the money donated by the young man in full.
"The Zhang family is a great virtuous person!"
The corners of Ren Qiong's mouth were slightly raised, outlining a smile.
He smiled meaningfully.
Walking out of the Zhang family's luxurious landscape garden and embarking on the road home, "Those who do good deeds should be rewarded with good deeds."
He said this to himself.
However, these words are full of unfinished meaning.
Those who do good will be rewarded with good.
What about those who do evil?
It should be said that evil will be punished!
'The process of checking in was very smooth...'
'I've already figured out the internal situation of the Zhang family...'
'Next time I go in, I will definitely kill the culprit!'
Ren Qiong's eyes were deep, with no hint of murderous intent.
'However, I need the best opportunity to take action... Even if I implement the dark-under-the-light plan, many operational details still need to be considered.'
He was thinking and planning big moves.
There is no doubt in my mind that the Zhang family hates what happened last night so deeply that they hate her to the core.
For this reason, everyone took the initiative to donate money to eliminate evil spirits and defend the law.
Eliminating demons may not mean slaying demons, but the emotion of wanting to kill those people last night must be true.
Ren Qiong thought about it calmly, and there was a lot of room for fuss here.
'If those brave people have basic wisdom, they will definitely understand that the state capital is no longer a permanent place and will be moved quickly.'
'Although the Zhang family is powerful, it may not be easy to kill so many people at once, to kill them all, to eradicate them all...'
'It takes time to find someone, not to mention the secret stumbling blocks from the Zhang family's rival family.'
'If you want to get what you want, the Zhang family... will have to use at least a lot of people, and the family will become empty.'
'At that time, if I sneak into the Zhang family again, I might be able to kill him with one blow!'
He estimated, 'What's left for me to do is to lock in a point in time, a special point when Zhang San will definitely stay in the Zhang family...'
'And the irrefutable proof that I am cleared of suspicion!'
'after all……'
'I will probably be the biggest beneficiary after Zhang San's death!'
'what do I do?'
Ren Qiong frowned.
He raised his head and looked at the big sun in the sky. It shines on the world and lasts forever.
Unknowingly, the young man started thinking and thought of something from this great sun that reigned over the world. It was also shining on the world... the Taoist Court.
'Maybe I should do this?'
His expression became subtle.
Ren Qiong found a thread that could connect all the scattered events together.
This will be a big game.
He is a chess player and a chess piece!
The young man suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the cheap master's shop.
One day during the day, there was a thrilling conspiracy there.
——Seize the ancient holy incense ash and create color-changing ink!
Then, what is the ancient holy incense ashes used for?
It also has a special effect, baptizing Taoist students and distributing unequal shares based on their admission scores!
'It's connected...it can be connected...'
'If what I expected is good, the goods...'
'It should be on the way already...'
'I hope you won't disappoint me... I'm still waiting for a divine assist...'
Ren Qiong changed the direction of travel and headed towards the Taoist Temple.
He figured it out.
Incense ashes from ancient saints, Taoist rankings, titles on the gold list, and getting rid of suspicion... these can all be done together!
He needs to step into this chess game and be a party, a victim, and... a porcelain man!
"Who else could do it bravely than me?!"
he sighed.
"Master!"
"I'm going to sing opposite you once..."
"And my god sister..."
"When I act bravely for justice, you must show mercy and don't slap me to death!"
"I'll just do some assists and get some injured medals..."
Chapter completed!
