When the weasel found that Huang Miao and the others were staring at him, he immediately wilted and smiled awkwardly: "Well, I was too sleepy, and I accidentally..."

The fat man threw the weasel out of the door without saying anything, and warned it with his eyes wide open: "If I find you again, I'll pluck out all your hair!" After that, he closed the door angrily, turned around and immediately put on a smiling face: "You must be taught a lesson, otherwise I'll tear down the roof!"

Wang Cheng was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses: "Just now...did I hear that weasel talking?"

Taoist Qingfeng also nodded blankly: "I think I heard it too."

Huang Miao smiled and explained, "This is a weasel spirit. It was caught while causing trouble at the local military base. Now it is serving as a gatekeeper for the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau."

Monster... This concept was not unfamiliar to Wang Cheng and Taoist Qingfeng, but it was the first time they saw one with their own eyes. They were very surprised and subconsciously turned back to look outside the glass door.

The weasel huddled in the corner outside the door, looking aggrieved, and seemed to be muttering something. But when it found itself being watched, it immediately pretended to be indifferent.

Wang Cheng turned his head mechanically and swallowed his saliva: "I didn't expect that I could see the monster with my own eyes!"

Taoist Qingfeng nodded in agreement: "I have traveled for so many years and have never seen such a strange thing. It is worthy of being the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau. Director Huang is amazing, the team members are amazing, and even the gatekeepers are so amazing."

"You guys go and have a rest first. Wang Cheng, Taoist Qingfeng, come to my office and have a chat." Huang Miao invited enthusiastically. Wang Cheng and Taoist Qingfeng nodded and followed.

Watching the backs of several people entering the office, the fat man lowered his voice mysteriously and said: "I bet they will be members of the team when they come out again."

Zhang Lingyu also nodded in agreement: "I think so too, they are both very capable and have a good foundation. Director Huang will definitely not let go of such talents."

“Cough, cough, cough…” Feng Baobao coughed and looked at the old smoker: “Old smoker, is it that serious? Are you smoking now?”

The old smoker leaned against the window, blowing smoke rings comfortably: "You are still young, you don't understand. I have only liked this in my life, and I have been suffocating these days." As he said this, he generously took out a tobacco leaf to share: "How about it? Try it together?"

"No, no!" Several people waved their hands and refused. Only the old smoker was left standing by the window enjoying it.

At this time in the office, Huang Miao looked at Wang Cheng and asked, "Wang Cheng, what do you think of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau?"

Wang Cheng nodded without hesitation: "Director Huang, I think the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau is very good. To be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would find it hard to believe that there is such a department."

Huang Miao nodded meaningfully: "Have you ever thought about joining the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau?"

Wang Cheng did not expect Huang Miao to be so direct. He was caught off guard for a moment. "Director Huang, this... I'm not sure if I can do it."

Huang Miao nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Taoist Qingfeng: "Master, you have traveled for many years, can you share the reasons for this?"

Taoist Qingfeng's eyes became deep, as if he was lost in deep memories. After a moment of silence, he sighed softly: "In fact, I don't know what I am looking for. Since my master passed away, I have started to travel around. I originally thought that I would find my home by building a Taoist temple in Yishan, but now I find that everything is in vain."

Huang Miao nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. His voice was steady and powerful: "Today's era is not friendly to practitioners of magic. Some people pretend to be magicians to deceive, and some people associate with evil. Yin and Yang are chaotic, and Feng Shui is unclear, but this is the meaning of the existence of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau. It is rare for you two to fight side by side with the members of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau this time. So, I will say it directly. I hope you can join the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau."

Huang Miao turned to Taoist Qingfeng and said, "Master, what you are pursuing is nothing more than the meaning of cultivation. This meaning may be given to you by the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau. In the future, the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau will become a solid line of defense for China, protecting the peace of the people of the world. Isn't this meaning enough?"

Taoist Qingfeng remained silent, but his eyes flashed with a convinced light. Then, Huang Miao looked at Wang Cheng again: "Wang Cheng, closed-door hard training has become the norm, and this is also the way for various martial arts sects to protect themselves. But you should know that many skills left by our ancestors have been lost due to closed-door hard training. Just like your Wudang Sect, besides Tai Chi, who else knows Fenghou Qimen?"

When Wang Cheng heard the words "Fenghou Qimen", he widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Director Huang, how do you know Fenghou Qimen?"

Huang Miao smiled calmly: "Wang Cheng, there are some things you don't have to understand for the time being. This is just a choice. You can continue to return to the mountain to be your little Taoist priest, become the best among the younger generation, and even inherit the position of the head in the future. But now, you have another choice, that is to join the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau and use your abilities to protect China. I will help you regain control of the Fenghou Qimen, which has been almost lost in Wudang history. Of course, this choice means that you will face more challenges, even life and death tests. But what I can guarantee is that all members of the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau will advance and retreat together no matter what the situation is, and we will never abandon any team member."

Huang Miao's words were full of determination, and this determination also infected Wang Cheng, making the blood in his heart, which had long been extinguished by life in the mountains, boil again.

"Director Huang, I am willing to join the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau, but I am worried that I may not be able to do the job." Taoist Qingfeng expressed his concerns.

Huang Miao was not worried at all: "Master Qingfeng, everyone has their own strengths. After you join the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau, I will tailor a training plan for you."

These words dispelled all the worries in Taoist Qingfeng's heart. He stood up and looked at Huang Miao firmly: "Director Huang, I am willing to join the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau!"

Huang Miao nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Taoist Qingfeng to sit down. At this time, Taoist Qingfeng turned to Wang Cheng and said, "Wang Cheng, I am a disciple of the Great Master Qiu Zu Zhenren Baidai Sect. If I remember correctly, the Wudang Sect should belong to the Zhengyi Jingming Sect. Although we are from different sects, according to the arrangement of the characters by the master, you should call me uncle. But let's not talk about this between us. I am just a little older than you, so let me tell you what I think."

Wang Cheng looked at Taoist Qingfeng seriously and nodded.

"To cultivate is to cultivate one's heart. At the same time, one must not forget the mission of eliminating demons and defending the Dao. However, in today's era, practitioners of the Dao have almost nowhere to go. Wearing a Taoist robe and walking on the street, one is either regarded as a liar or a lunatic. Times have changed, and we are no longer accepted by the world. But the Dao has never changed, and we are just those who are still adhering to the truth. Now, Director Huang of the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau has given us an opportunity, an opportunity to put the theories we have learned into practice. If this opportunity is missed, there may be no more."

Taoist Qingfeng spoke earnestly, and Wang Cheng's mind flashed back to the scenes on the mountain before he set out. The master wanted to stay away from the world, thinking that someone would always be able to solve these problems. But Wang Cheng knew that if everyone thought this way, no one would do anything.

Wang Cheng understood his master's painstaking efforts. His responsibility was to keep the sect going. He did not seek to carry it forward, but only to keep himself healthy. But Wang Cheng had greater ambitions and the passion of a young man. Moreover, the conditions proposed by Huang Miao were extremely attractive to him.

Fenghou Qimen was only mentioned in a few words in ancient books. Wang Cheng once curiously asked his master for advice, but the master said that Fenghou Qimen was lost because no one could master it. Many predecessors even went crazy in seclusion in caves. But now Huang Miao said that he could let him master this ancient method, which was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Wang Cheng.

After a brief thought, Wang Cheng finally looked at Huang Miao, stood up and saluted: "Director Huang, thank you for your kindness. I am willing to join the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau. But please give me some time. Everything has a beginning and an end. Please understand Director Huang. I need to go back to Wudang Mountain to say goodbye to my master before I can end this relationship. I will be back as soon as possible after that."

"Okay!" Huang Miao stood up, looked at Wang Cheng, nodded and said, "The door of the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau is always open to you."

After that, Wang Cheng left Huang Miao's office and the team members surrounded him. After learning that Wang Cheng was going back to Wudang Sect, Zhang Lingyu asked in surprise: "Wang Cheng, are you not going to join the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau?"

After Wang Cheng patiently explained, the team members were relieved. After watching Wang Cheng leave in the elevator, Zhang Lingyu and his friends returned to the house and saw Taoist Qingfeng and the old smoker standing together.

"Master, are you a reserve member now?" The fat man asked Master Qingfeng curiously. Master Qingfeng nodded happily: "Yes, Director Huang said that he would arrange a training program for me as soon as possible. But it will take some time before that. He asked me to study with you to prepare for the next exam."

Fatty nodded after hearing this: "So I'm not the last one to join the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau. It's a pity that there is no seniority system in our bureau, otherwise I can be called a senior brother, right?" Taoist Qingfeng laughed when he heard this. Years of travel have formed a unique character for Taoist Qingfeng: he is not particular about small matters and he can't tolerate any inconvenience.

Taoist Qingfeng always treats people around him with endless patience and tolerance, and never loses his temper easily.

However, once he encounters something he doesn't like, he will stand up without hesitation, face it head-on, and never back down.

This kind of personality makes Taoist Qingfeng get along very well with the team members.

In the following study period, the team members also extended a helping hand to Taoist Qingfeng and helped him to make progress together.

"Master, Director Huang once told us that the scores of the two major subjects, civil and military, are equally important. Therefore, the study of theoretical knowledge is also very important. You must keep it in mind."

The fat man seemed to enjoy the feeling of being a teacher. He stood seriously beside Taoist Qingfeng and explained patiently.

"First, you need to master the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. There are ten Heavenly Stems in total, and they are..."

Before he finished speaking, Taoist Qingfeng took over and answered fluently:

"Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, right?"

The fat man looked at Taoist Qingfeng in surprise and asked:
"You know all this?"

Taoist Qingfeng smiled helplessly and said:
"Fatty, although I am a newcomer in the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau, I still know these basics well."

The fat man obviously didn't believe it, and raised a more difficult question:
"Then tell me, what are the Yin and Yang Heavenly Stems?"

Taoist Qingfeng did not show any weakness and immediately replied:

"The yang heavenly stems are Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, and Ren, while the yin heavenly stems are Yi, Ding, Ji, Xin, and Gui."

Seeing that he could not defeat Taoist Qingfeng, the fat man decided to increase the difficulty:
"Do you know the four seasons and five elements of that heavenly stem?"

Taoist Qingfeng thought for a moment, then began to speak:
"Jia and Yi belong to the Shaoyang Wood of the East, representing spring; Bing and Ding belong to the Laoyang Fire of the South, representing summer; Wu and Ji belong to the Central Earth, representing the four seasons; Geng and Xin belong to the Shaoyin Metal of the West, representing autumn; Ren and Gui belong to the Laoyin Water of the North, representing winter."

The fat man widened his eyes and looked at Taoist Qingfeng in disbelief:

"Master, how come you know everything?"

Taoist Qingfeng stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Otherwise, wouldn't my decades of practice be wasted?"

Then he asked in return:
"Fatty, now it's your turn to talk about it. In Feng Shui, what do the ten heavenly stems represent?"

The fat man was speechless for a moment, but fortunately Zhang Lingyu reminded him in time:

"Fatty, Director Huang just talked about this not long ago. Jia wood is pure yang wood, symbolizing the wood of a large forest, with a towering momentum. Its nature is hard and can be used for great purposes, so it is yang wood."

Feng Baobao also lowered her head to look at the book and said calmly:
"Yi wood is pure yin wood, representing the wood of flowers and plants, with the beauty of the delicate earth. Its nature is soft and flexible, full of human warmth, so it is yin wood."

The fat man opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. It was obvious that he was not very familiar with these.

The old smoker standing by the window fiddled with his new pipe and said slowly:
"Bing Fire is pure Yang Fire, representing the fire of the sun, which has the merit of illuminating the heaven and earth. Its nature is fierce, able to defy snow and frost, and illuminate all things, so it is Yang Fire."

Everyone talked at once, and soon the meanings of the ten heavenly stems were fully explained.

The fat man stood there in a daze, realizing that he had become the clown who pretended to know everything.

After he realized what was happening, he quickly waved his hand and sat aside:
"You can't do this. Not helping is fine, but you're adding insult to injury."

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyu looked at the fat man and said with a smile:

"Fatty, these basic knowledge are our foundation. In a small sense, they are the key to the exam; in a big sense, they are the magic weapon to save our lives!"

After listening to Zhang Lingyu's words, the fat man finally nodded and expressed his agreement:

"I understand!"

Then, he looked at Taoist Qingfeng and said:

"Master, give me some time to prepare. I will definitely beat you next time."

Taoist Qingfeng smiled and nodded:

"I'm always waiting for your challenge."

Perhaps because of this encouragement, Fatty worked harder in the following days. (End of this chapter)
