Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 3: Assessment content


   However, Xia Fan did not leave the teahouse directly, but stopped at the corner of the stairs. He waited until the shop Xiaoer sent a new order of braised beef before calling him and putting the beef into his pocket.

   Facing the strange request of the guest officer, Xiao Er didn't have too much doubts, after all, he had been at the same table with Wei Wushuang before, and the latter was still sitting in his own seat.

   After "packing" the beef, Xia Fan came out of the teahouse unhurriedly-in this way, even lunch was saved.

   Anyway, my fellow villagers said you’re welcome and you want to order yourself, and he also believed that Wei Wushuang would not mind this plate of braised beef that disappeared out of thin air.

   To be honest, his opinion of this young boy is not bad, his temperament is not bad, and he can face himself in shame. Life in Fenghua County must be much better. It's a pity that what he said was also the truth. Since he took the exam due to family coercion, there was no need to take that risk at all.

Master    has repeatedly told him that dealing with evil is a serious matter. If you have not made up your mind and are fully prepared, you should never intervene easily.

   Judging from the cheap master's style of dealing only with little ghosts and little charms, and avoiding them when he meets the alchemist of the Privy Council, he has not lied to himself in all likelihood.

  In the afternoon, the invigilator finally summoned everyone to the center of the town and informed the content of the assessment.

  The theme is unexpectedly simple, as long as you fill a bottle of the source of spiritual fire within a limited time.

   The so-called "spiritual fire" is commonly known as "ghost fire". Its source can be used as the release medicinal material of several alchemy after drying and grinding, which is relatively easy to prepare.

   Of course, Xia Fan would not stand up and say that this phenomenon should be called phosphorous fire. Phosphine burns and is produced from decaying human bones—because those powders can indeed cause some magical phenomena and are repeatable. The latter is the most important creed in scientific experiments.

  His common sense does not work here, or it is operating in another form that he does not know.

  Because the spirit fire is not rare, it is easy to collect, just bring a shovel and dig down. Therefore, when the content of the examination was released, there was a commotion in the crowd.

  No wonder the candidates are surprised that even ordinary people can easily do this as long as they are courageous enough.

   The invigilator ignored everyone's discussion and uncovered the red silk beside him, revealing a sign and a long table underneath.

   There are a large number of porcelain vases on the table. Obviously, these are the containers used by Shikao.

The ink characters on the    bulletin board is a further explanation of the assessment rules, but overall it is also very concise, with only three items.

   "One. The test time is seven days, during which time you cannot leave Qingshan Town."

   "Second, it is forbidden to interfere in the daily life of the villagers."

   "3. Don't murder the candidates at the same time."

   "Candidates who violate any of the above rules will be directly judged as unqualified!" The invigilator said loudly, "Then, the tenth Daqiguo exam will begin, and I wish you all the best!" After that, turn around and leave. , There is no meaning to explain it to everyone.

   "Wait, seven days?" Everyone was in an uproar.

   "What can be done in one day, why do you have to stay so long?"

   "Will everyone be qualified!"

   "Just take care of him, take the bottle first."

  's words reminded everyone, the scene became extremely chaotic for a while, the ones in the front couldn't get out of the bottles, and those in the back couldn't get in. Even during the pushing process, several porcelain bottles slipped off the table and fell to pieces. Candidates who haven't gotten it are afraid that they will be disqualified because they don't have a bottle, and they push harder, and someone who accidentally falls over will turn into a stampede.

   "Stop it all!"

   Suddenly, a crisp voice resounded through the audience.

   I saw a woman leaping onto the long table, pulling out the wooden sword around her waist, and making a pose that was about to slash, "Whoever takes another step, I will break all these bottles!"

   The commotion was suddenly stagnant.

   No one even questioned it—because they did find that there was no rule prohibiting damage to containers. Once she really did that, would it be angered by the public to say that they could not complete the assessment but it was a certainty.

   "Sister, what are you doing?"

  , it was a young man who wore the same clothes as the woman who stood up anxiously.

   "Of course it is to maintain order." The woman gave a nice smile, and then nodded the sword towards the crowd. "The one over there, please help the person who fell! And you, and you, Help everyone!"

   "Why should I listen to you?" Someone said nonchalantly.

   "Huh?" The girl pressed the sword in her hand a few minutes.

  The pressure instantly shifted to the protesters. Under the scorching eyes of everyone, the named examinee obediently stretched out his hand to the faller.

  "Very good! Others, come forward one by one and come to me to pick up the bottles! Don't worry, there are still several boxes of bottles behind the table, the number is definitely enough. Brothers and sisters don't stand there, come and help me. "

   In a few simple words, a possible stampede will disappear without a trace.

   Xia Fan, who was squeezed in the crowd and unable to move, was finally able to ease his breath. While following the flow of people, he looked at the woman curiously—she didn’t seem to be tall, at most fifteen or sixteen. Years old, his face has not lost his childishness, but he has the foundation of a beauty. In particular, a pair of big eyes are particularly agile, like a handful of clear springs.

   And the brocade robe she wore was equally eye-catching. The light blue fabric is very valuable at a glance, and a pair of feather floral ornaments are embroidered on the shoulders, and the lines are rooted in the roots, as if they are real. If you look at those candidates who wear the same clothes as her, you know that these people are exactly what Wei Wushuang called the "disciples of aristocratic family."

  "Are they...from the Luo family in Youzhou?"

  "Suzaku twin feathers, you should not be wrong."

   Hearing the whispers of people around him, Xia Fan couldn't help but interject, "Hey, this Xiongtai, is the Luo family famous?"

   "Have you never heard of the Luo family?" The man glanced at him suspiciously. "They are big scholars, and every time there are qualified candidates, it is nothing to them. The top three will basically have a place in the Luo family."

   "By the way, I heard before that there are many talented disciples of the Luo family, and one of the girls is extremely talented. Is that she?" the other person answered.

   "No... this action is too reckless, not like a genius. Didn't you see her brother is also extremely dissatisfied with this action?"

   "Indeed, if she is not from the Luo family, this time the exam will end here."

   "Oh, after offending so many people, even if she is a disciple of the family, she may not be safe in the next few days."

   Xia Fan disagrees with this statement. The reason why the other party can instantly control the scene has nothing to do with her identity. The key is that she has grasped the candidates' fate so that she can use a few words to frighten everyone into motion.

   Even if you change to an ordinary person, as long as you notice the key points, you can do this.

   With someone who maintains order, the flow in the field has become faster. After a while, Xia Fan, who was in the back, received his porcelain bottle.

   At this time, the girl had already got off the table and was called aside by her brother.

   Judging from the expressions of the two, there seems to be a dispute, but the man's face is more not angry, but worried.

   When passing by them far, Xia Fan also heard a few conversations, and it was obvious that the two did not deliberately lower their voices.

  "...You should know that it is not only our family who participated in the exam..."

  "The Fei family and the Fang family are watching us, and the people in the palace..."

   "Brother, I know."

  "Then why are you doing this?"

   "We will all enter the Privy Council... and the biggest responsibility of the Privy Council is to maintain the order of the world. There is nothing wrong with adapting to it in advance. What's more—" When she said this, she turned her head, like Knowing that Xia Fan could hear these words, he smiled at him, "At that time, we were in the center of the vortex, and if we blindly stood on the sidelines, we might also be affected by the chaos."

   It seems that the little girl is also very sensitive in five senses.

   Xia Fan added another after her insightful evaluation.

  Since you don’t lower the volume, I am naturally not eavesdropping—after a straight smile, he turned his attention back to the content of the exam.

   The porcelain bottle in my hand is pure white, with a burning seal of the Privy Council on the bottom. It should be specially prepared for Shikao. It is about the size of a mineral water bottle. It obviously requires a lot of bone meal to fill it up. , The source of spiritual fire. Considering that the number of people participating in this examination is about 400~IndoMTL.com~, the total amount of the source of spiritual fire is a bit staggering. If there is not a large cemetery, it is really difficult to get it.

  The problem is that Qingshan Town is so big, even if the residents are buried, it is estimated that it will not make up the number required for the examination.

   Of course, since it's an exam, it's normal for some to be eliminated. It seems that the first test of the assessment should be the candidate's information gathering ability.

   Xia Fan also noticed that when most of the referees were still questioning the content of the test, a small group of people had quietly left the central area. I'm afraid these people have realized that whoever can find the spiritual fire ground of Qingshan Town first can seize the opportunity - and asking the locals or asking them to lead the way is a good choice.

   But after thinking for a while, he finally chose to go to the hotel first.

  If there is only one day for the exam, then he must have followed this small group of people, but the invigilator gave it seven days. In other words, the next board and lodging are likely to be taken care of by themselves, and the small-scale hotel is not enough for everyone to live in, and it's not bad to have a hundred of them. It can be seen that guest rooms must be a scarce resource, and most candidates estimate that they will have to live in the broken houses outside.

  As a wandering and experienced "comer", Xia Fan knows the difference between a comfortable house and one that can only shelter from wind and rain. If the harassment of mosquitoes is just to make people sleepless, then all kinds of poisonous insects and snakes are a real threat. Moreover, they are now on the mountainside, and the surrounding area is covered by forest. The temperature and humidity of day and night may be completely different due to a heavy rain. In case of a cold, let alone insisting on completing the exam, it would be difficult to even go back alive.

   So he decided to rent a house first.
