Chapter 23 Dilemma
Looking at Elder Fang standing in front of him, Yu Lie understood completely.

This old guy is not testing him or interviewing him, but just cheating him!

The other party didn't want Yu Lie to enter the Medicine Prescription Hall!

Yu Lie also suddenly understood that it was no wonder that after the death of the last Daoist boy, this old guy left the position vacant for several months and never accepted new recruits.The other party must have selected the candidate early in the morning, or sold the position privately.

Now Yu Lie entered the alchemy room with a sign, and there was only one vacant high-level position, which immediately hindered the other party's arrangement.

What's even more hateful is that this old guy still wants to use words to fool Yu Lie, so that Yu Lie will follow the arrangement to go to the bottom position, voluntarily give up, and doesn't hold grudges against the other party.

It should be noted that once the low-level position is selected and the pit is occupied, Yu Lie wants to get out, will it be as easy as the other party said?

Fang Lao stood in front of Yu Lie, continued to stroke his beard, and whispered softly: "Young student, have you thought about it?" His appearance was more kind.

At this time, the road leader and Suantoubi next to them both lowered their heads wisely and kept silent, watching their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.

Only the chatter among the other hall masters in the cave continued, but no one stood up to speak to Yu Lie.

Yu Lie accepted Fang Lao's kind gaze, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Thank you Mr. Fang for your concern, but this junior doesn't want to work at the bottom!"

Yu Lie didn't hem and haw, and directly affirmed what he said, leaving no room for the other party to misinterpret.

In Dao Tong's entire career, basically there is only this one opportunity to be allocated. If it falls in the courtyard, it will be a flower, plant and jade tree, and if it falls in the cesspit, it will be a fly beetle.

Even if Yu Lie sits on the bench in the medicine prescription hall, it is better than working in many low-level positions. After all, he can read a lot of prescriptions.

Even if there is a chance to change it as the other party said, the delay will be counted in years, or even a lifetime.This is why Yu Lie held back for more than a year before accepting the position.

Hearing Yu Lie's answer, Mr. Fang was a little caught off guard. The expression on his face was frozen, and he squinted his eyes to look at Yu Lie.

"Hahaha!" There was a loud laugh in the cave.

The hall masters who chatted in low voices finally couldn't help but comment: "This young man is a bit interesting, no wonder he got the bronze medal for coming to the alchemy room."

"Old Yutou's cultivation is not good enough, but his eyesight is really good."

Some people deliberately said: "Tsk tsk! Lao Fang, this young man is so assertive, you just follow him!"

Someone praised him again: "That's right! Your godson doesn't have this post-generator. How many times have you taken the exam, but he just didn't get the qualification from the Taoist Academy! Mud can't support the wall!"

Hearing the sarcasm and teasing from his colleagues behind him, Elder Fang directly tore off a few of his beards, his face wriggling.

There was loud laughter in the cave, Daotong and Suantoubi, the guides, stood at the door, tied their heads even lower, and did not dare to move.

Having been exposed by the other hall masters behind him, Fang Lao simply stared at Yu Lie with a fake smile, and said again:
"I'll ask you again, which low-level position do you want? Can Poor Dao give you proper compensation?"

Yu Lie didn't speak any more, and hesitated.

But Fang Lao didn't even give Yu Lie time to hesitate.

"Whee!"

Elder Fang twisted his neck, his bones creaked, and his voice became thin and high-pitched.Its body is elongated, looking down at the rest of the row, its shadow is in the shape of a crane, it is quite huge, and it suppresses the rest of the row.

Crane Shadow opened his mouth full of fine teeth:
"Young man, talk."

The cold feeling on Yu Lie's body was getting heavier and heavier. He gritted his teeth and yelled at this person in his heart:

"This old man, shameless! If you don't want me to go to the Medicine Prescription Hall, can't you find me another equivalent position?"

Facing the threat, Yu Lie wished he could rage on the spot and slap the opponent to death with one paw, tearing off the hateful face of this old thing.

Someone in the cave spoke out for Yu Lie: "Hey! This faceless old bastard can't be coaxed, can't hold his face, so he simply threatened shamelessly, without dignity."

Someone else sneered: "Tsk tsk! It's just a position, why do you end up here? You don't want to lose face."

"Old Fang, old Fang, you can accept this person first, and then find a way to kill him."

However, although the hall masters sneered repeatedly, they didn't mean to intervene at all, they were just watching for fun.

Listening to the words of the hall masters, Yu Lie felt his heart grow colder and colder.

He calmly estimated in his heart:
"Although I am now a second transformation body with a solid foundation, compared with the high-ranking Taoist boy with a fourth transformation body, the gap is still not small, and it is difficult to make up... It is not easy to offend too much, otherwise it will be dangerous to enter."

Those who can become hall masters in the alchemy room are not eighth-rank Taoist disciples, but they are all high-ranking nine-rank Taoist boys. All four changes in the Taoist realm have been completed!

Yu Lie is in the same realm as the old man, but he is still two transformations away from the other side.

Moreover, these hall masters are in the alchemy room, and there are many tricks, so there must be many methods of their generation.

If Yu Lie continues to fight, he will be risky and unwise.

So, bang!
Yu Lie shook his body, and the bronze medal in his hand fell to the ground, which surprised everyone.

His face "turned" pale, and the next words made many hall masters lose interest:
"The boy is dead, he doesn't know the inside story, and he talks nonsense."

Yu Lie stammered, bent his body on purpose, lowered his head to pick up the Danfang bronze medal, and said:
"The boy's eyes are clumsy, and he is not satisfied with being favored by Mr. Fang. I hope Mr. Fang can forgive the brat's disrespect..."

Yu Lie's voice became lower and lower.

When Fang Lao listened to Yu Lie's words, his eyebrows were raised, and the cold expression on his face receded a little: "Children, you really need to show some color."

This person stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and then stared at the bronze medal in Yu Lie's hand, his eyes were slightly bright.

Mr. Fang was pondering quietly: "What those old guys said makes sense. It's been a few months, and the waste at home can't pass the test of the Taoist Academy. It's better not to bother the two masters with one thing, and now I borrow this kid bronze medal?"

"When this kid gets down to the bottom, it's useless for him to hold the bronze medal. Keeping it in his hand may give him bad hopes and increase the number of accidents."

Elder Fang's thoughts flicked: "The people in Daoluyuan are stubborn and do not deal with this old man. But this low-ranking Taoist boy in front of him, and that old man... Hey, this old man has offended me now."

It turned out that Mr. Fang had his eye on the bronze medal in Yu Lie's hand early in the morning. He coaxed Yu Lie into taking a post at the bottom. He not only prevented Yu Lie from entering the Medicine Prescription Hall, but also planned to wait for Yu Lie to accept his fate, and then earn Yu Lie's bronze medal. Figure it out slowly.

Now that most of his intentions have been exposed, this person is not prepared to wait.

Old Fang coughed softly, and said flatly, "You can teach a child!"

The other party paused, then stared at Yu Lie and said, "However, your temperament is too stubborn, and you still need to polish it."

Yu Lie was taken aback by these words.

Grinding?

Yu Lie raised his eyes and glanced at Elder Fang in front of him, and noticed that the other party was looking at the bronze medal in his hand, staring closely, thinking about something.

Yu Lie's eyelids twitched slightly, and he immediately thought of a possibility.

Maybe this old man not only doesn't want to accept him into the Pharmacy Hall, but also has his eyes on his bronze medal and wants to take away his qualification?

There is a bronze medal, but it is not included in the medicine prescription hall. Once there is a shortage in the future, Yu Lie may be able to exchange it, which is a hope.Without the bronze medal, even if there are noble positions vacant in the future, he will not have an entry certificate.

Yu Lie felt a coldness in his heart, and then he was furious, and felt ridiculous, but he thought it was kind and kind at first sight.

But Yu Lie's mind became more and more calm. According to the old man, he didn't give himself time to hesitate just now.Yu Lie realized that even if he refused again, the other party could make up nonsense and forcibly take away his bronze medal!
Even if he can't take it away now, Mr. Fang will never let him go in the future.

Yu Lie lowered his eyes and thought, suppressing his anger, calm in his anger, and simply made a bold temptation.

He bowed his head and said before snatching away the other party: "The boy is ignorant, it's all up to Mr. Fang to decide."

Yu Lie took the initiative to put the bronze medal in his hand: "I also ask Mr. Fang to have a lot, so he can choose for the boy."

He respectfully presented the bronze medal to the other party, giving the other party a chance to accept it.But I didn't say it directly to the other party, lest I get it wrong, lose a lot of money, or flatter the horse's hoof.

When Mr. Fang heard Yu Lie's words and saw Yu Lie's actions, his eyes froze for a moment, and the hand holding his beard stopped again.

Sure enough, the man stroked his beard, his eyes showed surprise, his face was like a chameleon, and the eyes he looked at Yu Lie instantly became kind.

Yu Lie took the initiative to hand over the bronze medal to him, which directly saved him the effort of looking for reasons, and the food looks better.

Old man Fang retracted his neck and changed back into a kind-looking old man. He said again: "Good young man."

Fang Lao looked at Yu Lie's bronze medal, paused and said:

"Grinding is grinding, but... Pindao's promise just now is still valid. If you do well in the alchemy room, if you have a chance, Pindao will definitely promote you into the medicine prescription hall! After you enter the job, there will be someone Take care of you. You can go down and consider slowly for those low-level positions, and let you choose."

Hearing this, Yu Lie showed a look of joy, and his face also showed signs of recovery. He held the bronze medal and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, thank you, Mr. Fang."

Elder Fang nodded kindly, inadvertently touched the bronze medal in Yu Lie's hand, and coughed lightly: "You belong to this old man, so I will take the bronze medal of the alchemy room for you first."

At this moment, Elder Fang's face burst into joy, and his eyebrows were kind and kind. He couldn't see the violent and threatening appearance just now.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid of causing trouble, so he jumped up and fell directly back under the cauldron deep in the cave.

Then, the voice of the old man came: "The mountain has already been paid homage to, so you can retreat! Young people, you have to choose a position carefully, and you can't be hasty."

The other party also kindly warned: "The furnace is heavy, you can't walk around! The boy who leads the way, please guide me this young man."

The whistling of the wind gently pushed Yu Lie and others away.

But Yu Lie looked into the cave, only felt that it was deep inside, and the figures inside were like ghosts, with dim eyes.

Hearing the words, the leading Taoist boy and Suantoubi hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted.Among them, Suan Tou Nose lightly pulled the rest of the column inadvertently.

The Taoist boy who led the way called Fei Nuo, "I wish my lord and superiors, the pill will become a medicine, and I will take my leave."

After speaking, the other party turned around, walked quickly in small steps, and retreated as if fleeing.

Yu Lie also saluted immediately, saying: "Thank you, Mr. Fang!" Then he retreated silently.

………………

When Yu Lie's figure also disappeared, Fang Lao's chuckle sounded in the cave:
"Children, count him as acquainted."

"Also, mere Daotong, he knows such a fart of alchemy! Haha, let him choose him or not. Could it be that he has read too many books and thought he is smart?"

The rest of the hall masters also burst out laughing when they heard this.
