Chapter 342: Detian Temple Entrance Examination
The conservative representatives of China and the United States had both been saved by the defensive talismans of Taoist Bansheng. Upon hearing this, they became anxious and stood up immediately.
Several district officials around who had received talismans as gifts from the Taoist priest for half their lives also frowned slightly.
"Approved! Send someone to lead the team immediately!"
The conservatives in China completely ignored the opinions of the radicals and directly sent soldiers to help Taoist Bansheng reach the Lingqi Spring.
However, this "spiritual energy spring" is not so easy to use. The spiritual energy inside gathers and repels the human body from approaching.
Only by forcibly extracting it using a spirit gathering array can spiritual energy be stimulated.
So when the top leaders of City B issued the order to mobilize troops, Taoist Bansheng immediately began to select candidates in Detian Temple who could be appointed as formation points.
Last time, more than a dozen apprentices from Detian Temple were sacrificed to prove that the spring in the cave was a spiritual spring. It would be difficult to gather the full number of people for the formation now.
Other Taoist priests would not lend their disciples to Taoist Bansheng to die.
While Taoist Bansheng was urgently recruiting disciples for the formation, the last day of the apprentice recruitment examination at Detian Temple was also underway.
Behind the ancient tower-like building is the Detiandao Temple, which covers a large area.
At this moment, there were at least five hundred people registering for the exam crowded at the entrance of the Taoist temple.
Among them, some have truly learned Taoist knowledge, while others are just trying their luck with a fluke mentality.
Liu Yu stood beside Zhuang Moxing holding the spiritual treasure, and behind him was a group of team members who looked aggrieved because they were brushed off with just a few words.
But everyone was only depressed for a while, after all, Liu Yu and Zhuang Moxing had returned safely, and the previous situation was just due to the atmosphere and curiosity.
Xu Shuyao looked around curiously at the huge crowd of people. They were wearing all kinds of clothes, and the difference between high-income and low-income people in the B City base could be seen at a glance.
Gender is also mixed.
Of course, Detian Temple does not accept female disciples, and most of them come here to accompany their families.
At this time, the status of an apprentice at Detian Temple is more popular than that of a civil servant before the apocalypse. Too many survivors hope to make a comeback with this opportunity!
Once you enter the temple and learn some Taoist techniques, you will never have to worry about food and clothing, and you will have status and be able to protect yourself.
Look at the Taoist priests in the temple. The talismans they use are of high quality. Whoever can buy one of them can use it as a life-saving trump card when encountering zombies. Many powerful people have escaped death with the help of talismans.
Even though talismans are priced sky-high these days, they are still very popular. The high status of Taoism is no exaggeration.
They are praised wherever they go. This is the dream life for many survivors!
Zhuang Moxing walked through the candidates who were too nervous to join the waiting line and stood directly at the front of the line.
To be honest, he arrived quite late at this time, and should have been placed at the back of the queue.
However, the assessment items at Detian Temple have been changing in recent days. No one knows what will be tested today, and no one wants to stand to the front.
After joining the team, they all "give way" to Zhuang Moxing and let him sit in the first row.
I guess they wanted to be ranked later so that they could find out what the people ahead of them had taken the exam on. The more prepared they were, the better their chances of success.
The crowd below was nervous and noisy, and the towering gate of Detian Temple finally opened.
The heavy wooden door made a creaking sound, and a middle-aged Taoist priest in a navy blue robe walked out.
He glanced at the group of applicants outside with a haughty look and said loudly, "The first two hundred come in and enter the examination compartment according to the number plates you received."
As soon as those words were spoken, the people waiting for the test outside suddenly became nervous with cold hands and feet. Only Zhuang Moxing and the people of the Spark Team had smiles on their faces.
Lingbao slipped out of Liu Yu's arms, hugged Zhuang Moxing's neck, and gave a sweet "hmm" before crisply saying to his senior brother, "Brother, keep going!"
Zhuang Moxing wiped the spit marks off his face, ruffled Lingbao's black hair, and said helplessly, "Where did you learn this move?"
Lingbao hid in Liu Yu's arms, twisting his little body to avoid Zhuang Moxing's ravages, crying out in pain, but his tone of answer was very serious: "Huanhuan kisses his father every day, and I will also kiss Senior Brother and Sister Xiaoyu every day in the future!"
Liu Yu hugged Lingbao tightly with amusement to prevent him from jumping down. When she heard this, her expression froze. Zhuang Moxing's hands also froze. Both of them couldn't help but think of Lingbao's life experience.
Li Guangzong took in the situation in front of him. He had also heard about the things in Lingbao. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he immediately jumped forward.
With a sly look in his eyes, he approached Zhuang Moxing and started to grumble, "Brother Moxing, you've got to be careful during the assessment. Don't let yourself get picked as an inner sect disciple. We have to keep a low profile!"
There was no hidden message in his words, so he didn't deliberately lower his voice.
A middle-aged woman who was comforting her son nearby heard it and looked him up and down, then said in a low voice with disdain: "You're such a boaster!" Then she pushed her son into the examination room.
No one in Team Spark missed Big Mom's disdainful look, and they tried hard to suppress their smiles.
Well, it’s another day when the Taoist boss is forced to hide his strength.
Zhuang Moxing ignored him and directly took down the black sword from behind him and placed it in Lingbao's hand. Seeing Lingbao's surprised look, he said softly, "Weapons are not allowed in the examination hall. Lingbao, please take good care of the black sword for me."
The black sword, which never allowed outsiders to touch it, vibrated with grievance. Ling Bao quickly held it firmly with his two small fleshy hands. His round eyes curved into small crescents of joy and he answered loudly, "Okay!"
Zhuang Moxing chuckled and hugged Liu Yu before entering the examination room.
After receiving the number 12, Zhuang Moxing followed the number to find the small compartment with the corresponding number in the second courtyard.
Detian Temple arranged the examination in the second courtyard of the temple, and temporarily built a circle of small earthen compartments around it, with a layout similar to the ancient academy examination hall.
The small compartment has no door and is equipped with a desk, material rack and bamboo chair.
After checking that they had no cheating items on them, everyone sat down in the cubicle.
Before the candidates could relax their tension, a Taoist priest with a short beard entered the center of the examination room with a large stack of yellow talisman paper and stood there, loudly announcing the test questions for today.
"Today's test question is to continue drawing half a talisman!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of hundreds of candidates in the room changed, and the emotions implied in them were surprisingly different!
