Today, among those present, Guan Sheng Dijun is the most respected.

He should grade the papers first.

"Master Su, take the candidates down to rest first."

After collecting everyone's answer sheets, the Jizhou City God glanced at the head of the Express Reporting Department and gave instructions.

After receiving the order, Commander Su summoned several secret agents and took everyone out of the palace.

Previously, the Jizhou City God's technique of folding scrolls had already shocked the candidates.

Listening to the words of these chief officials, it is not difficult to guess that the examiners in the hall tonight are probably the legendary ghosts and gods.

Thinking of this, the candidate felt in a trance, both surprised and mysterious.

When I look back and think of the questions I answered earlier, I feel my heart flutter for no reason, and many people sigh with regret.

It seems that I didn’t perform well in answering the questions.

……

The other side.

Emperor Guan Sheng saw the answer sheets stacked on the case and asked Jizhou City God:

"There are sixty-four copies of this answer sheet in total. Take them out evenly and let each of you sit down and read a few copies."

"Then it will be handed over for review and then approved."

"The candidates must be chosen before dawn. Those who are unsuccessful will be sent home to have their memories erased."

"No matter how old or young you are, your soul will be here."

"The little god obeys."

When the Jizhou City God heard this, he responded respectfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately led the heads of each department to the table below and sat down.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Guan Sheng's eyes flashed, and the sixty-four answer sheets on the table fell into each person's hands in twos and threes.

Among them, this Guan Shengdi Jun only read sixteen copies.

The golden-armored generals standing next to him each received eight shares.

There are four copies of the Jizhou City God, and most of the remaining bosses only read two copies.

But Han Xiangzi had six copies in his hands.

Although Han Xiangzi was puzzled by this, he didn't say much.

After walking to the seat in front of the Jizhou City God and sitting down, he took a red pen and began to comment carefully.

When he was not practicing Taoism, he read a lot of books in Chang'an.

I can’t say that I have a lot of knowledge, but I can speak it well.

In addition, following Zhengyangzi in practice, Han Xiangzi had already understood many sages' sayings.

Of the six answer sheets in Han Xiangzi's hands, four are from the City God's test papers and two are from the God of Society.

The first test paper Han Xiangzi looked at was written by Song Li.

"One person and two people, intentional or not" is the test question.

Seeing this Song Li, Han Xiangzi's eyes lit up when he tried to solve the problem by saying "If you intend to do good, you will not be rewarded even though you are good; if you have no intention of doing evil, you will not be punished even though you are evil".

Then, he continued to read and found that Song Li's narrative was well-written and cited well. In addition, his writing was full of ink. After reading it, it was like drinking fine wine, which made people have endless aftertaste.

For a moment, Han Xiangzi showed appreciation.

Thinking of this, Han Xiangzi picked up the ink pen and gave him a top-grade selection.

However, who knew that Song Li was just a good start.

The remaining three City God Test answer sheets were obviously much worse than Song Li's.

Two of them are obviously low-grade!

A barely average portion!

As for the two answer sheets for the social god test, they were also unsatisfactory and did not feel refreshing. Most of them were quite satisfactory!

In this regard, among the six answers from Han Xiangzi, Song Li is probably the only one qualified to be admitted.

After Han Xiangzi finished reviewing it, others in the palace also finished reading it.

"Second trial!"

Here, Emperor Guan Sheng, who was sitting in the main seat, saw that everyone had finished reviewing it, and he spoke again.

Enough.

The answer sheet suddenly changed in front of everyone.

Han Xiangzi received six more answer sheets.

Among them, one was reviewed by Qiao Zhaoxi and given a high grade.

Of the remaining five copies, two were reviewed by Chief Su, two were reviewed by Jizhou City God, and the other was reviewed by the Deputy Chief of Yin and Yang Division.

Han Xiangzi reviewed it carefully and changed a low-grade answer sheet that had been reviewed by the deputy director of the Yin and Yang Department to a medium-grade answer sheet.

In this way, after repeated review and review, the candidate was finally selected after an hour.

Among them, Song Li's answer sheet, which Han Xiangzi reviewed for the first time, was really the best choice.

When everyone re-read it, this answer sheet has been rated as top grade many times and is considered a rare masterpiece.

Of course, there is someone more prominent than Song Li, and this person is named Weng Changliang.

According to people from the Yin Law Department, he is a private school teacher.

In addition, some of the people who took the social god test were also outstanding.

The questions answered are quite novel and surprising.

After some review, everyone finalized the five county gods and the nineteen gods of the society.

Among them, in order to be hired as the County God, his or her answer sheet must be rated as top grade.

As for the social god, it can be rated as medium quality.

After the admission list was confirmed, Director Su left the hall and brought back the admitted candidates.

But before that, the memory of the loser must be erased.

Then send those people back to the human world.

When Song Li, Weng Changliang and others came to this hall again, they were much more restrained than before.

"Emperor, everyone has arrived."

Not long after, Jizhou City God bowed down to speak to the Holy Emperor Naguan.

"Now that everyone is here, let's explain the matter clearly to everyone, and then send orders."

Emperor Guan Sheng has read the answer sheets of many candidates, and he is quite satisfied with them.

After hearing this, he ordered the Jizhou City God to go down.

Say it.

After the Jizhou City God received the decree, he looked down at the more than 20 candidates who had been accepted and said loudly:

"I am the City God of Jizhou. You are the people of Jizhou. You may be talented and learned, you may often do good deeds, you may be good believers in Taoism, you may be filial to your relatives, you may be of benefit to the world... I have invited you here tonight for the purpose

Participate in this city god test."

"Now that you can stand in this hall, it means that you have passed the exam and it is worthy of congratulations."

Speaking of this, the Jizhou City God couldn't help but applaud in celebration.

As soon as these words came out.

Song Li, Weng Changliang and others couldn't help but change their expressions, and then looked at Jizhou City God in disbelief!

Unexpectedly, he was actually the City God!

This exam is for selecting the City God!

For a moment, everyone was so happy that it was difficult to restrain their excitement.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Let me introduce to you the person who will be taking the exam tonight."

"The person sitting high on the throne is Emperor Guan Sheng. I don't need to introduce the name of the emperor. Everyone must be aware of it."

Seeing that there was some noise in the palace, the Jizhou City God lowered his hands and introduced everyone.

The first person he introduced was Emperor Guan Sheng!

Regarding Emperor Guan Sheng, people may not know his imperial edict, but his name has long been spread throughout the world.

All of a sudden, these admitted candidates knelt down and saluted Emperor Guan Sheng.

After that, Jizhou City God introduced the directors and other persons of the departments under the jurisdiction of Jizhou City God.

Of course, I didn’t forget to mention Han Xiangzi.

After a brief introduction, the Jizhou City God brought the roster read by Emperor Guan Sheng and awarded these candidates official positions:

"Weng Changliang!"

Jizhou City God’s Thoughts.

"The old man is here."

Soon, a private school teacher of about half a hundred who looked like an old scholar came out and said respectfully.

"You are now the City God of Xiao County. After you go home tonight, you will make arrangements for your funeral. Within three days, someone will send you to Xiao County to take up your post."

"Thank you, Lord Chenghuang."

Hearing this, Naweng Changliang hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

At the same time.

When everyone saw this, their hearts suddenly felt hot.

I never thought that I could become a god one day!

"Where is Song Li?"

Jizhou City God asked again.

"Xiaosheng is here."

Hearing Jizhou City God call his name, Song Li hurriedly stepped forward.

"You are appointed as the City God of Jibei County and will take office in three days."

Jizhou City God looked at Song Li and said.

However.

When the Jizhou City God finished speaking, Song Li was stunned.

There was no reply from him for a while.

"Why, do you still have concerns?" Seeing this, Jizhou City God asked curiously.

"I'm afraid that Lord Cheng Huang fell in love with me by mistake. Xiaosheng's mother is still alive in her family. If I go to Jibei County, I'm afraid there will be no one to take care of her. I'll really regret that she will be miserable in her later years."

"I also ask Lord Cheng Huang to allow me to take up the post after my mother passes away. If that doesn't work, Xiao Ke is willing to give up this opportunity."

Song Li looked bitter, thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind.

"This...?"

Hearing this, Jizhou City God was stunned.

This is the first time that he has seen someone willing not to be a god, but to be a mortal?

But when he thought about his situation, Jizhou City God felt that he was pitiful.

And here.

Those who were admitted were also shocked by Song Li's words.

At the same time, I also have more admiration for him in my heart.

I was moved by the fact that Song Li was willing to give up his priesthood and keep his filial piety.

To be fair, if it were me, it might be difficult to do this.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became silent.

"Emperor, what do you think of this matter?"

Although Jizhou City God wanted to agree, but now that Emperor Guan Sheng was here, he did not dare to overstep his authority and could only ask Emperor Guan Sheng for instructions.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Emperor Guan pondered for a moment or two.

Then, as the eyes opened and closed, one could see the dark energy and light rising sharply.

Not long after, Emperor Guan Sheng said to Song Li:

"Your mother still has nine years to live. Since you have to observe filial piety before your bed, you might as well let Xiao County City God act as her agent for nine years."

"Wengcheng Huang, what do you think?"

After saying this, Jizhou City God looked at the urn Changliang and asked.

"It doesn't matter, I can handle it."

Weng Changliang didn't think much and agreed readily.

"I miss you so much."

When Song Li saw this, he couldn't help but thank Weng Changliang profusely.

After the matter was revealed, the Jizhou City God granted titles to the remaining three county gods and nineteen social gods.

Finally, Emperor Guan Sheng stood up and encouraged everyone before letting Jizhou City God send everyone back.

At this point, the trial of Jizhou City God has come to an end.

There were no problems during this exam, and it was a complete success.

After all the candidates left, the Holy Emperor Naguan sat in the main seat and praised Jizhou City God:

"The candidates from your state have good moral character and outstanding academic performance. It seems that you have been kind in teaching and have done a good job in teaching the Dharma."

Hearing this, the Jizhou City God was naturally flattered and said quickly:

"The emperor's words are serious, but this is actually a matter that belongs to the minor gods. I dare not take credit for it."

In response, Emperor Guan Sheng smiled and asked again:

"Why did Han Xiangzi come to your City God's Temple tonight?"

"Emperor, there is a reason for this, let the little god make it clear."

Jizhou City God spoke in a low voice.

He made it clear to Emperor Guan Sheng that Han Xiangzi had brought the peach demon Yu Shu to look for Judge Qiao.

After the Jizhou City God finished speaking, Emperor Guan Sheng admired Han Xiangzi quite a bit.

He believed that Han Xiangzi was a gentleman who respected his promises, had the demeanor of a sage, and had great love in his heart.

I also see that his cultivation is at the level of subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger, which is not far from the level of the three flowers.

While thinking, the Saint Emperor Guan suddenly felt his green robe move, and a stream of light flew out instantly.

"Han Xiangzi, I like you very much, so I will give you a piece of Qinglongyan jade to help you break through to the realm of a real person as soon as possible."

In the blink of an eye, the stream of light turned into a piece of green jade and fell on Han Xiangzi's hand.

On top of the jasper, dragon energy circulated and spit out glowing light. Once he held it, Han Xiangzi felt that the jade seemed to be of great weight.

It also has the power of a dragon, much more majestic than the aura on the night chime of Yunmengze Dongting Lake that day.

"Thank you very much for your love, the emperor. I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust."

Naturally, Han Xiangzi did not need to be polite about the treasure given by Emperor Guan Sheng.

A god like him has no shortage of treasures.

Giving it away now is naturally a sign of respect for himself. If Han Xiangzi refuses, it will only refute other people's good intentions.

So, he shamelessly accepted it.

In addition, this Qinglong Yanyu is probably very effective against his moon-cutting technique.

Most of the Yanyue Soldiers that Han Xiangzi used before were only at the level of spreading the law.

But if this jade is blessed, I'm afraid the strength of Yanyue's soldiers will skyrocket.

But to what extent it reaches, Han Xiangzi will have to try it to know.

"I'll just wait and see."

Hearing this, Emperor Guan Sheng said with a smile.

Here, Jizhou City God watched Emperor Guan Sheng chatting and laughing with Han Xiangzi, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.

It seems that the Guan Sheng Emperor must have valued Han Xiangzi very much, so he gave him the divine jade.

After the words fell, the Guan Sheng Emperor had a few words with the Jizhou City God.

Soon, I didn’t stay with Jizhou City God any longer.

Instead, he and the accompanying golden-robed general disappeared into the hall in the blink of an eye.

"Farewell to the emperor!"

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly leaned over to say goodbye.

……

He said that when Song Li woke up early the next morning, he felt that all the previous illnesses had disappeared and he felt much more refreshed.

He stood up and looked out the window. He couldn't help but think of going to the City God's Hall to take the exam last night. Then he looked at his mother at home and felt a lot of emotions for a while.

But he said, there are only a few days left.

In Jizhou, more than 20 people died at once.

The strange thing is that everyone left peacefully.

Some people were joking with their families the night before and then lost their energy the next morning.

All of a sudden, my family and friends learned about this and were extremely sad.

But on the night they died, many people saw their deceased relatives in their dreams, only to realize that these people had become gods.

Suddenly, everyone was both sad and happy.

……

Nine years later, Mrs. Song Li really passed away.

After Song Li took care of the funeral, he went back to take a shower, put on new clothes, and died in bed.

But the strange thing is that someone saw Song Li riding a red tasseled horse and wearing red clothes that night, heading to Jibei County.

For a moment, those who witnessed it were extremely surprised and suspicious.

Of course, this is a story for another day.

……

"Dongbin, the old Taoist will teach you the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique."

"This sword technique, nine of the gods, can escape one technique. With one sword, you can cut off three thousand troubles, two, avoid greed, anger and ignorance in the world, and three, eliminate the evil desires of the world of color."

"Practice this method, and you can enter the palace and kill a person's head with one sword, traveling thousands of miles like a shuttle..."

Lushan.

In a thatched cottage, the slovenly old Taoist transformed into the Fire Dragon True Monarch was talking earnestly to Lu Dongbin.

It is said that after Lu Dongbin followed the advice of Master Luofu, he set out from Yushan and walked for ten months, passed Jiangzhou, and then came to Lushan.
