Chinese students at Hogwarts

Chapter 228 The Grand Examination for Teaching (7K)

When the darkness dissipated, Zhang Xiao found himself lying in the cave again.

Is this the resurrection point?

This kind of real game experience will be sold like crazy if it doesn't disappoint many game manufacturers.

Compared to last time, I skipped a lot of the exploration process and just packed my luggage and just stepped out.

The cold wind blew by, and a faint mist suddenly appeared across the mountains and fields.

Zhang Xiao:.

Did you skip it?

The female spy in a red wedding dress stood not far behind her with her head lowered:

"Don't have too many little Taoist priests."

"Okay, shall I go then?"

The remaining words of the female spy suddenly disappeared, as if she had never thought that Zhang Xiao would say this.

Quiet, silent, awkward.

After a while, the female ghost's voice sounded again:

"Wherever you come from, go back where you came from. There is a land temple on the way you came. After worshiping, take half a bowl of incense ashes.

Every once in a while, take a pinch of incense ashes, let the wind blow it away, and follow the direction of the incense ashes.

Otherwise you will never get out. "

The female ghost disappeared again.

Zhang Xiao pinched his chin, his eyes flashing with interest. This female spy seemed quite special.

Generally speaking, female spies with boundless resentment rarely stay rational.

Their thoughts are, ‘I just want to kill everyone here, or be killed by everyone. ’

Those who can not only communicate but also speak such organized and logical words are generally extremely special ghosts.

I just don’t know what kind of female conspirator she is.

This time, he did not wait until dawn, but simply packed up his luggage and ran straight towards the village at the foot of the mountain.

He had only been walking for less than a while.

The female spy in red appeared again, raised her ferocious face, and stared at him:

"Men. Can't be trusted."

Zhang Xiao felt the hairs all over his body explode and instinctively activated the golden light spell.

But this female spy in red seemed to have a special ability, and Zhang Xiao felt like her whole body was frozen.

Not to mention fighting back, he couldn't even move.

He even watched helplessly as the female spy turned into a blood-red shadow and circled around him.

The golden light curse was finally broken.

His vision went dark, and a faint voice came from his ears again:

"you are dead."

Zhang Xiao:.

It seems that this female ghost is like a rule line in the game. It cannot be touched. If the rule is triggered, you will die?

What if we just fight in full state?

Zhang Xiao rushed out.

In the open space outside the cave, thunder and explosions suddenly sounded, and golden light and red light intertwined.

Less than five minutes passed.

Zhang Xiao appeared in the cave again in disgrace.

Well, I've confirmed it. I can't beat it. No matter how much I think, I can't beat it. Unless the Qiankun Bag is there, just throw out the talisman at the bottom of the box.

After a wave of rational reasoning, this is a bit outrageous.

But even such a powerful ghost can't do anything to Xiaoyang Village. What's going on?

And the three masters heard that evil spirits were causing trouble in Xiaoyang Village, so they went to Xiaoyang Village to investigate.

This female spy obviously did not cause any harm. On the contrary, she was very reasonable and easy to talk to.

So, are there other evil spirits in Xiaoyang Village?

How about just like how we used to play games, as long as I die enough, I will risk my life to find a way for you.

die!

die!

die!

Zhang Xiao was lying in the cave, breathing heavily, with deep confusion in his eyes.

No, this village is poisonous, right?

You will die if you drink tea, you will die if you go to a tavern to eat, and you will die if you stay in an inn.

Even steamed buns that I thought were safe before turned out to have problems.

Having died so many times has even made me mentally a little anxious.

I am suspicious and feel there is something wrong with everything I look at.

The question is, why do the people in Xiaoyang Village have to kill me?

Also, both the female spy in red and the little girl asked me to leave.

Especially that little girl

Except that it appeared when I gave her the meat buns for the first time, it didn't seem to happen after that.

Zhang Xiao fell into deep thought.

In the early morning, Xiaoyang Village seemed to come to life again. Zhang Xiao changed his clothes and looked like an ordinary farm boy.

Fortunately, his previous experience outside had made him darker, and he had the temperament of a farm boy.

The village is still the same as before.

There are already many people walking back and forth on the road paved with bluestones.

There were merchants driving hawkers and farmers carrying hoes who seemed to be going out.

The breakfast shop was already open, and large streams of white steam came out of the steamer, carrying the alluring aroma of the meat buns, heading straight into the nose.

The owner of the grocery store yawned, moved the movable wooden board, and displayed a dazzling array of products.

Zhang Xiao turned a blind eye to all this and just walked silently through the crowd, experiencing many previous deaths.

It seems that the less interaction you have with your surroundings, the less likely you are to die.

So you must make yourself ordinary enough that you won't even attract other people's attention.

In fact, this time he made the right bet.

This is the first time that I have walked around the town completely without any 'suspicious deaths'.

Zhang Xiao slowly backed out of the original road, stood at the entrance of Xiaoyang Village, and looked back at the village again.

Now it's time to try another thing - what would happen if you leave directly without following the female sect's methods?

As soon as we entered the woods, the sunlight was covered by the overlapping woods.

The cold wind roars among the treetops, the ancient trees are towering into the sky, and the shadows of the trees cover the sky and the sun, as if walking into an ancient dream.

Occasionally, a ray of sunlight shines through the cracks in the branches, making it look even more eerie.

The surroundings were so quiet that it made people palpitate. There was nothing except the clicking sound of dead branches and leaves underfoot.

Zhang Xiao took two steps and felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier. He even took one step and was out of breath from exhaustion.

He stopped and looked at his hands.

The boy's originally strong and delicate hands had turned into wrinkled, stiff and rough appearance at some point.

He looked like he was seventy or eighty years old.

Zhang Xiao struggled to take out a magic wand and used it to create a mirror, only to see that he in the mirror had become a gray-haired old man.

He found a big tree, leaned on the trunk, and sat down slowly.

He closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

In fact, the answer is already known.

Then the whole person seemed to suddenly lose strength, and his head dropped suddenly.

"you are dead."

In the cave, Zhang Xiao lay on the bed, motionless, just staring at the uneven top of the cave.

"This is a test."

he said to himself.

"It's like an exam. You are very familiar with exams.

At the end of the day it's just a game, just like you've done it countless times.

What is the key and basis for solving the problem? "

Zhang Xiao closed his eyes and breathed out gently:

"It's to find out the thinking of the person who asked the question. What does he want to test me?"

Is it strength? Is it the mastery of magic? Is it fighting skills?

neither.

Zhang Xiao stood up, packed his luggage and waved outside coolly.

Bye-Bye!

Sure enough, when they set off in the opposite direction, no female spy appeared.

Not far away, we saw a dilapidated earth temple.

Hmm. Quite like Professor Flitwick.

After sincerely paying homage, Zhang Xiao took half a bowl of incense ashes, and every moment he picked up a handful of ashes and scattered them in the air.

Follow the direction the incense ashes are blown.

Just go all the way.

By the time the incense ash was used up, Zhang Xiao had already arrived at the entrance of a huge cave.

Am I in a cave?

He was stunned for a moment, then boasted in one step.

"During the Qi Dynasty of Tomorrow, three of my disciples from Longhu Mountain were traveling here. They heard that there were evil spirits causing trouble in the mountain and they were unable to return after entering the mountain.

The Heavenly Master ordered Longhu Mountain to travel around the world, and Zhuge Hong went to investigate.

Zhuge Hong took the order and went there. He lingered at the mountain pass and did not dare to enter. He used the technique of spiritual transformation to explore and returned in ten days.

Said: This scene is empty, if you enter it you will die.

The Heavenly Master arrived in person and led a hundred and eight disciples from Longhu Mountain to set up a Tiangang and Earthly Evil Formation, trapping this scene for sixteen days. "

The faint male voice gradually faded and disappeared.

Zhang Xiao slowly opened his eyes. This time it was finally not a cave.

"Are you awake? That's okay, kid. You've only been reincarnated less than 10 times and you figured out the only answer?"

Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu were sitting on the Eight Immortals Table in the room, looking at themselves with smiles.

Zhang Xiao shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up.

"Just finally figured it out."

After getting out of bed and sitting at the table, Li Qingshu pushed over a cup of tea. Zhang Xiao subconsciously wanted to hide.

But it is the sequelae left behind in the illusion before.

"Xiaoxiao, you've come out." Li Qingshu comforted her warmly, and as she spoke, she emitted a golden light, proving that what she said was true.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zhang Xiao felt much better.

"Dad, Mom, so this is the first level of the pre-ordination test?"

Zhang Chengdao nodded:

"That's right, since I discovered this illusion during the Tianqi years.

It has been used to test disciples. "

Zhang Chengdao said meaningfully:

"Xiaoxiao, do you think that in addition to being proficient in talismans and passing Taoist skills, what else do you need to travel in the world?"

"It's to protect yourself!" Zhang Xiao said without hesitation.

This was the answer he wanted to figure out at the last moment. If it hadn't been for figuring this out, I would still be stuck in the illusion at this time.

"Yes, when traveling in the world, the most important thing is to protect yourself.

Rather than sacrificing your life for righteousness, I am more afraid that you will die before you leave the army and die before you leave Jiangxi.

Maybe sometimes, a glass of highly poisonous liquor, a simple trap, and a clumsy lie can put you in ruins.

At least at this moment, if I drink tea or eat in the future, I will instinctively think of checking whether it is poisonous.

This is what Taoism wants to teach you.

Sometimes, the human heart is darker than monsters and monsters. "

Zhang Xiao was still a little scared when he recalled his previous experience. He really didn't want to remember those weird and various ways of death.

"Dad, how many reincarnations did you go through at that time?"

Zhang Chengdao's face, which originally looked like a senior, suddenly collapsed, and the corners of his eyes and mouth twitched a few times:

"this."

Li Qingshu smiled and said nothing, but this time she was not ready to expose her husband's shortcomings in front of her son. Sometimes going too far was not enough, and once or twice it could be said to be funny.

It's really unjustifiable to expose shortcomings time and time again.

After all, Zhang Chengdao was one of the rare people who didn't turn around without hitting the south wall, and plunged headlong into Xiaoyang Village.

In the end, he was sent out in a coma after too many reincarnations and his energy was exhausted.

Fortunately, this test does not require everyone to pass it, it is more like a course.

In fact, this illusion can only be used once. After all, the second time is prepared, and it has no teaching or testing effect at all.

Seeing that his mother didn't mean anything, Zhang Xiao immediately turned the topic to what he was most interested in.

"Mom and Dad, what is going on in that illusion? Did it really happen in history?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Chengdao's face became much more serious, he nodded slowly and said:

"Yes, the voice you heard in the illusion is the truth.

At that time, Senior Zhuge Hong was the leader in the world of Longhu Mountain. This senior was already considered the number one among the younger generation of Longhu Mountain at that time.

Just like your father and I now. "

Li Qingshu and Zhang Xiao looked at each other with admiration, and Zhang Chengdao cleared his throat twice:

"But when Senior Zhuge Hong arrived at the foot of that mountain, he didn't dare to go in. According to the records of Longhu Mountain.

Senior Zhuge Hong once said: "When you walk in front of the mountain, you will be sweating profusely. If you think of getting up, your two muscles will fight and you cannot restrain yourself."

His strength was strong enough, and his spiritual sense told him that there was a big terror ahead, but those three disciples might be because their strength level was slightly lower.

There was no movement at all in the spiritual consciousness, which caused the disaster. "

Zhang Chengdao suddenly stopped talking and smacked his lips: "My mouth is a little dry."

Zhang Xiao poured a cup of tea with a wink and held it in both hands:

"Dad, please moisten your throat, what next?"

"Not bad, fragrant! Sweet!"

Li Qingshu hummed and then said:

"Mom, let me tell you, Senior Zhuge Hong cannot advance, but if he retreats, he is afraid that this place will become the source of disaster.

Then he sat down at the entrance of the mountain peak and used the Taoist spirit technique, coupled with the illusion technique, to use the clone method to go in and investigate.

He explored like this for ten days and finally came back to resume his life.

After hearing this, the Heavenly Master took people there. This was the biggest move that Longhu Mountain had seen in hundreds of years!

In the end, the Heavenly Master went alone. After coming out, he set up the Tiangang Disha Formation. It took sixteen days to destroy that place. "

Zhang Xiao was like listening to a storytelling, not daring to take a breath, and raised his ears and listened carefully:

"Then, then, the Heavenly Master must have found something, right? And where are the three masters?"

Zhang Chengdao sighed:

"You have met all three masters."

"Have I seen them all?"

"Little girl, land lord, female ghost in wedding dress."

Zhang Xiao only felt a trembling numbness all over his body.

He never thought that those three were the three masters, but it seemed that they were the only ones in the entire small village showing kindness to him.

But how did those masters become like that?

"The Heavenly Master said that the place was twisted and abnormal and had become a mysterious realm. Two senior brothers were killed one after another, but the last senior brother discovered an important clue at the end.

But he couldn't hold it any longer, so he released the Li Gui that he had only collected before coming here, feeding the Li Gui with his body and retaining a little bit of his spirituality.

It's because he knows that the Taoist sect will definitely continue to send people here. When the time comes, he can remind the people in the Taoist sect that this place is ominous and don't waste their lives.

The other person used the technique of sitting and transforming to contain all his spirituality within his bones.

Use divine fire to burn yourself (harmony), leaving ashes to guide people from the Taoist sect out.

The last senior brother had the lowest cultivation level and his spirituality was not well preserved. She could only remind her by giving her a bun.

Because that female senior brother’s favorite thing when she was a child was steamed buns.

The bun will turn into something like dried powder, which is also a reminder that everything you see is false.

The more exchanges and interactions occur, the deeper we get trapped, and eventually we are assimilated and unable to extricate ourselves. "

There was silence in the room, and Zhang Xiao let out a long breath. He didn't know how many times stories like this had happened in the long history.

How many thrilling things are unknown to outsiders.

Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu stood up: "Xiaoxiao, take a good rest. Although you have been in the illusion for a long time, it has actually only been an hour.

The other two official tests will be held tomorrow.

This is a hard condition. If you fail to pass it, you really have to wait until next year. "

Zhang Xiao nodded to show that he understood. When his parents walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something:

"Dad, is that Xiaoyang Village really called Xiaoyang Village?"

Zhang Chengdao paused and said softly:

"No. Its original name was - Peach Blossom Spring."

Zhang Xiao was lying on the bed stiffly like a robot, covered with a quilt, but couldn't fall asleep.

The only things that are turning over in my mind are the Peach Blossom Spring and the unforgettable memories of the Peach Blossom Spring.

During the Taiyuan Dynasty of Jin Dynasty, people in Wuling made fishing their main occupation.

Walking by the stream, I forget how far the road is.

Suddenly I came across a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps across the bank. There were no trees in the middle, the grass was delicious, and the fallen flowers were colorful.

The fisherman is very different. He keeps going forward, hoping to exhaust the forest.

When the forest reaches the water source, there is a mountain with a small mouth, as if there is light.

Then he left the boat and entered through the mouth.

At first he was extremely narrow, but only then did he understand people. After walking dozens of steps, I suddenly became enlightened.

A small opening in the mountain suddenly opened up.

Peach Blossom Spring!

Although he tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep, Zhang Xiao still felt refreshed when he got up the next day.

The clothes had already been delivered, neatly folded and placed on the table.

After washing up, Zhang Xiao couldn't wait to pick up the folded clothes.

It was a plain white Taoist robe, somewhat similar to what several of Mao Xuexian's disciples wore when they were at Wangjiang.

It's also like the one Wang Ye wore in "Under One Person", but the color is different.

Dad has mentioned this before. Most of the rules in Longhu Mountain, or the secular Taoist sect, are inherited from his blessed land.

Just because of some necessary and unnecessary factors, the original things are expanded and become more complicated and complicated.

Dad said that this is because the secular Taoism requires more rituals, but Zhang Chengdao did not say why rituals are needed.

So at the moment, there are not so many rules in Shanglonghu Mountain. In fact, it was originally the case. The Taoist sect actually inherited more of a Taoist idea mixed with other things.

Zhang Xiao looked at it for a while, then let go of his hand, and the clothes twisted on their own and came over.

He made an open-arm gesture and put it directly on Zhang Xiao.

The cloth shoes also flew up on their own. I don’t know what they were made of, but they were very comfortable on my feet.

After the Taoist robe was tied up, he didn't wear a crown. He just pulled up his half-long hair and tied it into a bun on the top of his head like a king.

Secure it casually with a wooden hairpin.

It’s better to be a Taoist disciple!

That is to say, you need to wear ceremonial robes when giving urns to worship heaven.

At other times, they dress up casually, but everyone basically wears three kinds of robes: green, white, and blue.

In the small courtyard, Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu also changed into similar outfits. Their long gowns were fluttering, full of elegance and charm.

I have seen my parents in suits and leather shoes many times, and this is what the two of them look like now.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but his eyes lit up:

"Dad, Mom, they are so chic and beautiful! They are a couple of gods and goddesses!"

Li Qingshu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, let's go. We will fast today and give each person two Bigu Pills."

Well, this is yours. "

Zhang Xiao took two round Bigu Pills, which were about the same size as longans. He still remembered that they tasted terrible, just like sawdust.

Because it is delicious, some greedy Taoist boys will eat the Bigu Pills as snacks.

He put one in his mouth, chewed it casually, then opened his eyes and clenched his fists, and swallowed the bigu pill with great effort.

It sure tastes terrible!

However, the effect was quite good. Just after taking it for a short while, Zhang Xiao felt a warm current gradually spread from his stomach.

That feeling of fullness came over me immediately.

"Mom and Dad, I'm ready, let's go!"

Zhang Xiao followed his parents to a huge square, and after just a cursory glance, he felt that it looked inexplicably familiar.

The square is paved with huge pieces of white marble.

There is a huge Bagua in the middle.

The edge of the square is shrouded in mist, making it look like a fairyland.

Isn't this the square in the Golden Book and Jade Book?

It turns out that this is where the rubbings of the Golden Book and Jade Book were made?

There are already many people in the square at this moment, and there is a steady stream of people coming from all directions in various ways.

Zhang Xiao saw large jasper-like leaves, gourds, boats, and even kites with just the flying equipment.

It's just like a clutter meeting.

More often than not, people come over like a family, inviting friends.

Everyone was as excited as if they were attending some kind of gathering. They found their favorite positions and stood up together in twos and threes.

"Dad, are they all here for the assessment? Is this assessment so popular?"

Zhang Xiao saw that the number of people there was almost several thousand - because the scale of each Hogwarts banquet was not even one-tenth of this.

How many people attended the Hogwarts banquet?

There are less than 500 teaching staff

"It's always been like this. Although Longhu Mountain is a paradise of cave heaven, there are no rituals worth mentioning.

Except for a few major ceremonies, most of the people were engaged in Qingxiu or helping Zhao Yuanxu solve some very difficult problems.

There are also some who have great responsibilities and must stay on the mountain at all times.

So, it’s like this. "

Zhang Chengdao said a few words and patted his shoulder: "Let's meet at Bagua, the time is almost up.

No pressure! "

Li Qingshu also rubbed Zhang Xiao's head and also clenched her fists to encourage him.

Zhang Xiao took a few deep breaths: "Yes, I'm going."

On top of the gossip, some people were already standing here and there, some were old and some were young, the older one looked to be middle-aged.

The small ones were about seventeen or eighteen, and the total number was about eighty or ninety.

Is this the person who is going to participate in the enthronement this year?

Many people looked surprised when they saw Zhang Xiao, a young man with a tender face, coming over.

Others began to think.

"Little fellow Taoist, whose disciple are you? Today is the day of the examination. Go back quickly and find your master or an adult to watch from the side."

A middle-aged man with a rather honest face asked with a smile. As he spoke, he raised his head to look to see if anyone was looking for the child.

Zhang Xiao was just about to salute and talk, but someone grabbed the middle-aged man:

"Senior brother, this is the child of Master Shaotian's family. Zhang Xiao is of the same generation as us. He is also participating in the ordination test this time."

The middle-aged man immediately looked stunned and patted his head in embarrassment:

"Master mentioned it to me, but I didn't think of it for a moment. I'm sorry, little junior brother."

Why should you take this little thing to heart?

Zhang Xiao said a few words with a smile, and a small disturbance that was not even a misunderstanding was resolved.

Those more flexible disciples have already spread Zhang Xiao's identity, but they have no intention of hiding anything.

At the same time, the people watching outside also noticed Zhang Xiao, who was obviously much younger.

Zhang Xiao only felt that there seemed to be thousands of eyes focused on him.

But what surprised Zhang Xiao was that both off the court and on the court.

Everyone looked at me with more curiosity and surprise.

Others are scrutiny and doubt.

It can't be said that there is no hostility, but it is quite small, and rather than hostility, Zhang Xiao prefers to call it - competitiveness.

It was a look that regarded oneself as an important opponent and wanted to compete.

The per capita moral standard of Taoism?

Hiss, I used to think that I would be too pushy and ostentatious, and that some people would be jealous or dissatisfied.

Everyone seems very friendly now.

"Ahem."

A faint cough instantly spread throughout the square, and everyone subconsciously became quiet.

Zhang Cunyi's figure appeared on the steps at the entrance of the Jade Emperor's Palace, wearing only a very elegant and simple Taoist robe.

Her hair was simply pulled up into a bun, and there was a smile on her clear face.

His eyes with divine light swept around the square and stopped for a moment on his grandson.

The smile on his face became a little stronger.

Only then did Zhang Xiao realize that he had not met and chatted with his grandfather after being back for such a long time.

Obviously I have a lot of questions I want to ask Grandpa.

Everyone in the square straightened their clothes, the smiles on their faces disappeared, and they all bowed to Zhang Cunyi and saluted:

"Heavenly Master!"

Zhang Xiao hurriedly followed everyone's example and bowed, and then heard Zhang Cunyi's voice ringing in everyone's ears:

"Okay, okay, if you continue like this, I'm going to learn about the secular world and give you a few simple words."

Everyone seemed to have been used to Master Tian's appearance for a long time. They straightened their bodies without taking it seriously, with a smile on their face.

It seems that he is very much looking forward to the Heavenly Master saying a few simple words.

Zhang Cunyi waved his sleeves, raised his face slightly, and said like an elderly version of Zhang Cheng:

"Hey, I won't tell you, it happens once a year anyway, so"

The face of the Heavenly Master became serious:

"What are you waiting for? The big exam for teaching the body is about to begin!"
