Chapter 43: Teaching the disciples
"If he follows you, he will not be elected." Cao Meng looked at Kong Yiming who had already walked away.
"The smart ones are not afraid, the stupid ones are not afraid, they are afraid of such self-righteous ones." Nan Feng took a deep breath to calm his anger.
Since the two left the queue, Taoists from the Lucha Palace came to chase the two back.
At this time, there were not many candidates left in the three passages. After half a stick of incense, the first exam in Xiahe Palace ended. The three questions and the list of students who passed the primary election were announced.
The number of people who passed by the commander of the Xiahe Palace, Tiangangzi, was the largest, with 120 people, and Tianlianzi and Tianchengzi each chose 60, totaling 240.
Nanfeng was naturally on the list, but what he didn't expect was that Cao Meng was not on the list, and he had no name for Cao Meng until the last one.
"How could this happen?" Nan Feng was surprised.
"Maybe I have no luck in my destiny and cannot be a Taoist priest." Cao Meng was very depressed.
"Don't worry, I'll find an opportunity to come over and ask you later." Nan Feng comforted him.
"Don't go, don't go." Cao Meng waved his hand repeatedly, "I have failed the exam. Don't drag you down any longer. Go and gather, I'll go back to my residence to pack up."
At this time, the students who passed the first exam had already gathered at the foot of the mountain, preparing to go up the mountain to participate in the sixth exam re-examination of Zhongwei Hall, but Nanfeng was not in a hurry to go over. Tian Chengzi was a discerning person. He knew that he wanted to take Cao Meng with him but did not give him face. This made him very unhappy, so he stood there and never gathered at the foot of the mountain.
The students who passed the first exam were about to line up to complete it, but Nanfeng still did not pass, and always held Cao Meng standing there. At this time, the people who lost the election had already begun to leave the field, and there were not many people left in the field. Cao Meng advised him several times, but Nanfeng did not let go and did not go to gather.
Just as the guest Taoist counted the number of people and was about to take people up the mountain, a young Taoist hurried from a distance. When the two of them approached, he whispered to Cao Meng, "Congratulations to fellow Taoist, and congratulations to fellow Taoist, Master Tiancheng saw that you are kind-hearted and tough-willed, and you are willing to accept you as your disciple, so you don't have to try to get started. Are you willing?"
Cao Meng was stunned and stared at Nan Feng with his big eyes.
Nanfeng was very happy, "I ask if you would like to do it."
"Do you think I'm willing?" Cao Meng was still confused.
Seeing that he was confused, Nanfeng replied on his behalf, "Thank you, Master, he is willing."
"Follow me." The young Taoist waved to Cao Meng.
Cao Meng looked at Nanfeng, then looked at the young Taoist, but did not move.
Nanfeng hurriedly pushed him, "Follow me, I'll go there too."
"That's right, I'll go." Cao Meng didn't fully react until now, and went with the young Taoist in confusion.
At this time, the counting number was coming to an end. Nanfeng ran over to show his license plate and stood at the end.
After counting the number of people, he went up to speak with the palace chief Tian Gangzi. The general meaning was to congratulate everyone on passing the first exam, and then wish everyone to pass the re-examination and worship the mountain gate. In addition, even if they cannot pass the re-examination, Taiqing Sect will also recognize everyone as a lay Buddhist who converts, and can recommend it to various departments of the court to seek work and work for everyone.
When Tian Gangzi was talking, Tian Chengzi and Tian Lianzi stood on the left and right. When Nan Feng looked at Tian Chengzi, Tian Chengzi happened to be looking at him, but Tian Chengzi did not give him a look, but glanced at him and looked elsewhere.
Nanfeng naturally knew why Tian Chengzi looked at him. He had pulled Cao Meng away before and did not let Cao Meng go, and he did not go to gather. He was undoubtedly taking revenge on Tian Chengzi. His speechless meaning was "You know that I want to find a companion, but you still wiped him down. Then I won't go."
Tian Chengzi personally accepted Cao Meng's name in desperation. What kind of character and tenacious will is just a saying, but to put it bluntly, it is to give him face.
Maybe he was in a hurry to go back and rest, and Tian Gangzi didn't say a few words. After he finished speaking, someone led everyone to climb the stairs and go up the mountain.
Nanfeng was walking at the end, and when he was walking, he tilted his head and looked east. At this time, Tian Chengzi was talking to Cao Meng. Cao Meng was uneasy and confused. Tian Chengzi frowned and sighed repeatedly.
Seeing this situation, Nan Feng began to sympathize with Tian Chengzi again. To be fair, Cao Meng may not be suitable to be a Taoist priest. He failed the eight tests. It is estimated that this situation has not happened to Taiqing Sect since its establishment. Such a stupid and dull weird thing has been taken over by Tian Chengzi. Don’t expect him to become famous. If he does not lose his reputation as a master in the future, Tian Chengzi will burn a high incense.
Cao Meng saw Nanfeng with a glance and raised his hand to greet him. Tian Chengzi was furious, pulled his hand, pulled it aside, and scolded him in a deep voice.
Nanfeng lowered his head up the mountain and did not respond to Cao Meng. Tian Chengzi should have seen that he wanted to take Cao Meng with him. The reason why he was not accurate was because Cao Meng was a celebrity who failed the eight tests. Many people in Taiqing Sect knew him and often laughed at him on weekdays. If he got too close to Cao Meng, it would easily attract the attention of others.
In addition to selling his face, Tian Chengzi accepted Cao Meng, mainly to get the celebrity away from him, leaving him alone, and he can operate secretly in the re-examination without showing any signs.
This is the first time that Nanfeng has taken this stone stairs. He has been walking on a small road before. Most of the students walking in front are happy at this time. The pressure of the first exam is the greatest, almost one in a thousand, but the pressure of the re-examination is much smaller. Choose one in two, and at most three, there is a great hope of getting started.
Unlike everyone's joy, Nanfeng's heart was very heavy. Taiqing Mountain was undercurrent. The former leader was killed. Tian Yuanzi was expelled. The originally selected successor died suddenly. The death of Xuan Zhen's uncle. All of these shows that the internal struggle of Taiqing Sect was extremely fierce. If it were not for pursuing the real murderer and clearing Tian Yuanzi, he would have long escaped from this complex and dangerous environment.
However, these troubles are not the only thing in the world. There are always some happy things. Zheng Xian, wearing a blue shirt and white skirt, actually passed the first test and walked not far ahead.
Nanfeng is not afraid of things or stage frightened. He goes up to say hello when he likes it. Zheng Xian is also easy-going and does not refuse people thousands of miles away to talk to Nanfeng Q&A.
Not far ahead, a cold snorted from the roadside. Nan Feng tilted his head when he heard the sound. He saw a few young Taoist nuns standing by the roadside. One of them was Ling Yanzi who had beaten him that day.
"Dengtuzi is finally Dengtuzi." Ling Yanzi snorted coldly again.
Ling Yanzi's voice was quite loud, and many students heard it. Zheng Xian turned around in surprise and looked at Nanfeng in confusion.
If Zheng Xian was not by his side, Nan Feng would definitely curse Ling Yanzi, but he was worried about leaving a bad impression on Zheng Xian at this time, so he ignored Ling Yanzi, lowered his head and went up the stairs, and did not respond.
"Shameless." Ling Yanzi said another sentence.
Nan Feng couldn't help it anymore. To be precise, he didn't want to endure it anymore. Even if he didn't speak, Zheng Xian would think that he was a bad person. He liked that before he sprouted, he would trampled the donkey hoof from Ling Yanzi, who came from somewhere.
"Ling Yanzi, why are you, a ragged guy, scolding me?" Nan Feng was angry but never lost his mind. "I was a servant in the Secular Affairs Hall. It was my duty to go to Xiahe Hall to dump the toilet. I knocked on the door before entering the door. You agreed to me to go in. I didn't know that you were not dressed in a mess. The crime was not on me. It would be fine if you chased me to the west and beat me up. Today I blocked the road and scolded me. You told me clearly today, why should you scold me?"
Ling Yanzi didn't expect Nan Feng to turn against him in public. Moreover, when he cursed, he did not scold him randomly, but clearly stated the facts and pushed the responsibility for the whole matter to her. He had never thought of this before, but suddenly he didn't know how to keep talking.
"Why is that student?" the Taoist who led the way turned around and asked.
At this time, all the students, including Tian Gangzi, who were walking in front, also turned around. Nanfeng was not panicked when encountering trouble, and did not answer the question of the Taoist leading the way, but took advantage of the situation to pursue. "You beat me up on that day, and you broke three of them with prickly vines. I was beaten up all over my body and was covered in bruises. I was beaten with bluestone and almost broke my head in the wilderness. I did not report it afterwards because you were a Taoist nun of Taiqing Sect, and I was just a servant in the Secular Affairs Hall. There was a difference between superiority and inferiority. But you bullied people too much, I bowed my head and rushed to me, and you blocked the road and scolded me. Today I can't control so much. Even if you were driven down the mountain by your private revenge, I would also seek justice from you. Why did you call me a disciple? What kind of humiliation did I do?"
Ling Yanzi would not have thought that things would go so far. Faced with Nan Feng's urgent and coherent questioning, he could only be unable to defend himself, "Have I ever interrupted the three thorn vines?"
Nan Feng was secretly happy when he heard this. He said it on purpose. Ling Yanzi argued and confirmed the attack on him. "Either three or two. I don't believe that Taiqing Sect has no axiom. I just rejected me from the re-examination just because I don't want to be humiliated. You said, is there any falsehood in what I just said?"
Arguing is the basic skill of beggars. Nan Feng has been arguing since he was a child. Ling Yanzi is not his opponent. He thought it was a soft persimmon, but when he caught it, he found that it was a big hedgehog. It was neither to throw it nor to catch it. "Did you put the cauliflower snake in my bedding? Did you pour pee in the teapot?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
Nanfeng bravely admitted, "Yes, it was me! But the cauliflower snake is not poisonous, and the urine cannot kill people. It is not like you, who beat people to death."
Seeing the two quarreling, the Taoist who led the way hurriedly ran back to stop him. At the same time, some Taoist people also heard the sound and came over from all over to check the truth.
"Ling Yanzi, don't retreat yet!" Tian Chengzi rushed over from below.
"Yes." Ling Yanzi's face turned red and he lowered his head and stepped back.
"How can such a polite situation be so polite?" Tian Chengzi's face looked very ugly.
"Junior brother, don't blame the younger generation. This young man is quite strong. I'll avoid him from re-examination and remember it in my name." Tian Gangzi's voice came from above.
"Hahahaha, junior brother Tiangang, this young man is angry with me, give him to me!" Tianqizi stepped out of the path on the west side.
