Chapter 180 The Second Test

Of course, this time the selection was held in Shacheng, Liangzhou, so there might be something to do with it, but obviously, Lin Rui would not underestimate the magistrate.

One reason is that the other party is seven or eight years younger than him, but he is already the magistrate of Bapin County who can govern a place. At the same age, he is still struggling in the position of a small official.

After getting to know each other for a while, Lin Rui stopped talking. After all, strictly speaking, although they both passed the first selection, they were still competitors before the matter was finalized.

Chu Xian also smiled and said nothing, while looking at the first person who passed the selection, the other party obviously had no intention of speaking, and from just now, he just sat upright with his eyes closed, with a kind of arrogance.

In terms of age, the other party was in his 20s at most, a few years older than Chu Xian, and he was considered young in officialdom.

Chu Xian knew that there was not much time left, so he thought for a while, and put the talisman in his hand on the table next to him. In this way, there would be a reflection on the painting in the real room, and the position was so obvious , someone should find out.

What's more, the two people in the original painting now have another self, so in the original room, they must have suddenly disappeared without a trace, how could the rest of the people not notice it.

After waiting for a while, sure enough, another person suddenly appeared next to the table where the talismans were placed. It was the middle-aged official who had been quite calm before. Obvious surprise.

Apparently he knew, he passed the first test.

At this moment, the talisman suddenly burned itself without fire, turning into ashes in an instant.

Chu Xian knew that it was because the time was up. In this way, among the original nine people, only four of them passed the first test, including himself, and the remaining five people should have no chance.

Chu Xian didn't know what to do next, and judging by the appearance of other people, he probably didn't know the same, so he could only wait in this room.

The middle-aged official was very friendly, and introduced himself. Chu Xian knew that the other party was called Liu Yunxi, who was the official secretary of Muzhou City, from Qipin.

In terms of official position, this Liu Yunxi is considered the tallest, which also made Chu Xian more curious, what is the selection this time, even officials from the seventh rank will come.

After waiting for a while, footsteps came from outside, and the four people in the room immediately sat upright. At this time, the one who can walk in from the outside, no need to ask, must be someone who can decide the result of this test.

Following the sound of footsteps, an official in black came in, but it was not the seventh-rank official who led them in, but an official whose official rank had reached the sixth rank.

With a majestic expression, not angry but majestic, his eyes seemed to be surging with thunder and fire, and his beard was neatly trimmed. After this man came in, he glanced at the four people in the room.

No one dared to look at him.

Therefore, no one noticed that this person looked at Chu Xian with a hint of surprise.

He was paying attention to the entire selection process. After all, he was the chief examiner of this official selection, and the seventh-rank black-clothed official who led the way before was just his subordinate.

Naturally, even his subordinates could see a trick played by Du Shan, so how could he not see it?
That Du Shan, relying on being the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, dared to extend his hand to the selection of officials of the Dongzhu Division, he was looking for death, and this matter would not be left alone.

But it was also because of Du Shan that he noticed Chu Xian.

As the vice capital of the Dongzhu Division, there are very few people who can catch his eyes, but today, that Chu Xian is still fresh in his memory. Because of Du Shan's relationship, the other party did not get any clues about this test. But with such a black eye, he could actually become one of the four people who passed the first level.

Quite remarkable.

No, it's not only amazing, it's simply unbelievable, because in the same situation, if it were him, he might not be able to pass.

At the beginning, his subordinate decided to try to see how much Chu Xian weighed and was worthy of the strong recommendation of Su Wenzheng and Kong Qian, so he took advantage of the situation and did not tell the other party the clues of the test. Although it is not common among things, similar situations will occasionally be encountered.

As a result, this Chu Xian's performance was impressive.

He remembered, just now, when his men saw through Sha Yu Ya that Chu Xian in the house had found the talisman and was shocked when he entered the world in the painting.

Thinking about so many things in his heart, but on the surface, the official didn't show it at all.

Because the test is not over yet.

This time, there is only one person in Dongzhu Division, and now there are four people who have passed the first level, that is to say, they will continue to screen until only one person is left.

After entering the room, the official stood still, then faced the four people, and said, "Yu Chiyong, Deputy Dutong of Dongzhu Division."

The four people in the room hurriedly got up and saluted.

Chu Xian was even more shocked.

"Dongzhu Division? No wonder, no wonder this method is used to select officials. It turns out that I was transferred to the state capital to participate in the selection of Dongzhu Division?"

Chu Xian quickly recovered his calm. No wonder, even officials from the seventh rank came to participate in the selection. It is really that this Dongzhu Division is too special. The biggest special thing is that Dongzhu Division, even if it is a Holy Dynasty The Shoufu Pavilion can't give orders either. The Dongzhu Division is completely separated from the ordinary official system of the Holy Dynasty, and its status is detached. It is the dream of many officials to be able to enter it.

Chu Xian had suspected before that Li Yanji who was with Cui Huanzhi was a member of the Dongzhu Division, but it was just a guess, because the Dongzhu Division was too mysterious, and ordinary officials had never heard of it, let alone understood it. .

At this moment, Wei Chiyong, the deputy commander of the Dongzhu Division, continued: "Only the four of you can pass the first test. Next is the second test. Come out with me."

After finishing speaking, Yu Chiyong walked outside the house, and Chu Xian and the other four also followed.

The world in the painting is almost indistinguishable from the real world. Outside the yard, there is also heaven and earth, the sky is blue with clouds, and the sun is shining brightly.

However, the world in this painting is fake after all, just like at this moment, there are actually two doors out of thin air in the courtyard.

Yu Chiyong said: "You two are in a group, choose a door to enter, there is a valley inside, the world in the painting, opposite the valley, there is an exit, whichever group comes out first, is the winner. Winner, go to the next One level, loser, eliminated."

Concise and concise.

At that moment, Chu Xian and the other four looked at each other, because they were going to be in a group of two, so it involved the question of who to be with.

There is no doubt that Lin Rui and Liu Yunxi on the opposite side were unwilling to be with the first person, that is, the young official who didn't say a word and didn't know his name.

And those two obviously had a tacit understanding, and they spoke first, indicating that they were in a team.

This time it is a voluntary pairing. If Lin Rui and Liu Yunxi are in a group, then Chu Xian can only be in a group with that 'suffering gourd'. Obviously, it is because the first person is too cold, and a stranger should not enter. appearance, that's why he was excluded, and Chu Xian was completely unlucky. Neither Lin Rui nor Liu Yunxi actually liked Chu Xian. Since he had to pass the second test, of course he had to choose a reliable opponent. .

"Chuxian Chancellor, then the two of us will go first." After Lin Rui finished speaking, he and Liu Yunxi chose the door on the right and walked in.

Chu Xian turned his head and glanced at the boring gourd. The latter glanced at Chu Xian with disgust, and walked towards the door on the left on his own.

Chu Xian had no choice but to follow. The moment he entered, Chu Xian heard the man say: "Don't expect me to take care of you, this is a competition, and I must win in the end."

For this kind of talk, Chu Xian has no way to talk to him. Anyway, if you want to say something, you can say it.

There is indeed a valley beyond the door.

The world in this painting is truly miraculous. The valley is surrounded by chaos. If you look forward, you can see that there is a door at the other end of the valley, not more than two hundred feet away.

Presumably, that is the export.

The 'arrogant gourd' ran forward at this moment, extremely fast, but that was only by the standards of ordinary people. Chu Xian is now a peak acquired martial artist, with half a foot in the innate existence, if he really uses it Running with the skills, it is estimated that he will be able to pull the boring gourd behind him soon.

But if you look at it by the standards of ordinary people, this boring gourd actually runs really fast.

It's just that he stopped after running a dozen steps.

In front of them, many monster clans actually appeared. Seeing Chu Xian and Chu Xian, these monster clans screamed and rushed over.

Mu Hulu sneered, and sat cross-legged. The next moment, he flicked his sleeves, and suddenly a cold light flashed, and three long swords floated in the air.

One sword is fiery red, one sword is green, and the other is blue.

Afterwards, three flying swords flew out and began to kill the invading monster clan.

Out of the body peak state.

Chu Xian could see that this boring gourd had extremely high skills, and the three flying swords were driven by him, as fast as lightning, a cold light flashed, and a monster clan was cut open, and the three swords flew together. No one can get close to the boring gourd.

But soon, more monster races appeared around. As a result, it would be difficult to deal with it alone. It is true that his skills are strong, but there is a great weakness in the skill of the out-of-body state.

That is their body.

The technique is strong, and can even attack and kill enemies hundreds or even thousands of meters away, but the body is weak, as long as a crossbow arrow, or being approached by the enemy, the technique will be finished.

Therefore, most of the art practitioners in the out-of-body state will have a Dharma protector by their side.

To be honest, the three flying swords of this boring gourd are indeed powerful, but in real comparison, they may not be stronger than Chu Xian's Yin-Yang Pansi Sword.It's just that at this time, Chu Xian is too lazy to compete with the opponent for the main attack position. The current situation is that it is indeed impossible to deal with the monster clan all over the mountains and plains by one person alone.

These monster races are the products of the world in the painting. Without flesh and blood, they can be said to be endless. They cannot be cut and killed. It is impossible for one person to pass through here.

That's why Yu Chiyong made the two of them a team.

Chu Xian immediately understood the purpose of this test.

That is cooperation.
