One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning
Chapter 413 Can You Be Serious? It's an Exam
"Siqi, don't just stand there, go find the deputy director to get your admission ticket, and then prepare well, the exam is not far away." Zhang Lingyu gently patted Wang Siqi's shoulder and reminded him. Wang Siqi nodded, with a hint of doubt in his heart, and walked towards the office.
After entering the office, Wang Siqi gently closed the door. He thought he had concealed it well, but the fat man outside keenly caught this detail. He said to Wu Tianzhen mysteriously: "Tianzhen, look at the little brother and Wang Siqi, is there something wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tianzhen lowered her voice and responded, "I heard Director Huang mention that Wang Siqi is a descendant of the Wang family."
The fat man didn't react at first and waved his hand indifferently. But soon, his face froze and he looked at Zhang Lingyu in astonishment: "Tian Zhen, which Wang family are you talking about? The one with Wang Canghai?"
"Who else could it be except him?" Zhang Lingyu's words shocked the fat man so much that he seemed to be choked. His eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.
Feng Baobao and the others were confused by the fat man's reaction. "What happened to Wang Canghai's descendants? He is a genius in the architectural world, why are you so surprised?" Feng Baobao asked puzzledly.
The fat man quickly grabbed Zhang Lingyu and explained in a low voice: "You don't understand the grudge between the Zhang family and the Wang family. Don't get involved. Just go about your own business." As they spoke, the two of them looked mysterious, which made Feng Baobao and others even more curious.
At this moment, the sound of the elevator door opening attracted everyone's attention. A young man in casual clothes and with a Taoist hairstyle appeared at the door of the Feng Shui Bureau: "Hello everyone, I'm back. Did you miss anything exciting?"
"Wang Cheng!" everyone shouted in surprise. They didn't expect him to come back so soon.
"Wang Cheng, didn't you go back to Wudang Sect to say goodbye? Did your master agree?" the old smoker asked with a smile, and Taoist Qingfeng also looked at him curiously.
Wang Cheng smiled and nodded, then sat on the sofa and said lazily, "At first my master disagreed. He also clearly expressed his expectations for me for the first time, hoping that I could stay in Wudang Mountain and inherit his legacy. But when I told him about my experience with you and my decision to join the Feng Shui Bureau, somehow he agreed. He said that this is fate. Some people passively accept it, while others actively cater to it. I belong to the latter."
Although Wang Cheng was puzzled by the change in his master's attitude, the result was exactly what he expected. He looked around and asked, "Where are Director Huang and his deputy? Why can't I see them?"
The fat man approached Wang Cheng and said mysteriously, "Director Huang is at the construction site of the headquarters building, and the deputy director is in the office. But I advise you not to go now. The atmosphere in the office may be very tense."
Wang Cheng was confused and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Did you make the deputy director angry?"
"What are you talking about!" The fat man said seriously, "Do you know what 'enemies become particularly jealous when they meet' means?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on the tightly closed door, as if they could already feel the heavy atmosphere in the office.
However, what they didn't expect was that Wang Siqi had actually met Wang Ye before. When Huang Miao took Wang Siqi to the construction site, Wang Ye was also there, so they had known each other for a long time. Although they didn't interact much at work, they were definitely not "extremely jealous".
At this time, in the office, Wang Siqi finally plucked up the courage to ask Wang Ye the question he had always had: "Deputy Director, I felt that you looked familiar when I first saw you. Only recently did I remember that I seemed to have seen your portrait in the ancient books in our family."
Wang Ye's face showed no emotion when he heard this, but a complicated look flashed in his eyes. He said expressionlessly: "I know you are a descendant of the Wang family, but don't you know who I am?"
Wang Siqi had guessed it in his mind. He stared at Wang Ye and said word by word: "Are you a descendant of the Zhang family?"
Wang also shook his head: "No, I am just a member of the Zhang family, not a descendant."
Wang Siqi was stunned by these words, and then he showed a surprised expression: "It is recorded in the ancient books of the Wang family that the Zhang family has the secret of immortality. Are you... the immortal?"
"That's right." Wang Ye did not hide anything from Wang Siqi, and the atmosphere between the two was not tense.
Unlike the expected tense atmosphere, the conversation between Wang Ye and Wang Siqi was more like two long-lost friends reminiscing about the past. They chatted easily about some past events of their respective families.
As a descendant of the Wang family, Wang Siqi only knew a few fragments of the family. Although Wang Ye knew all of this history, he did not have any hostility towards Wang Siqi. He knew that the past grievances had gone with the wind, and there was no need to let them affect the present.
After a brief exchange, Wang Ye handed the admission ticket to Wang Siqi and encouraged him: "I hope you can pass the exam smoothly. The Feng Shui Bureau welcomes you very much."
Wang Siqi took the admission ticket and smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Deputy Director, I will definitely do my best!"
After leaving the office, Wang Siqi found that everyone was looking at him. He smiled and explained, "Don't look at me like that. I am me, and the Wang family is the Wang family. The deputy director is just the deputy director. We are all members of the Feng Shui Bureau. There is no need to bring up the past together."
Hearing this, everyone felt relieved. At this point, all eight members of the Feng Shui Bureau had assembled. They each had their own unique expertise, and they had come together for a common goal - preparing for the exam.
On the day of the exam, the examination room was bustling with people. Candidates from all over the country poured in, and media reporters also gathered at the scene for interviews. Unlike previous years, this year's exam was held in the government park next to the provincial government, which was a novelty for many candidates.
As the broadcast prompted the candidates to enter, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only reporters waiting outside the examination room. At this moment, two black cars slowly drove over, and seven people got out of the cars.
"The young man arrived yesterday. He will be the invigilator today. Everyone must perform well and try to pass the exam in one go!" Zhang Lingyu boosted morale and led everyone to the examination room.
The reporters looked at this group of people with doubts in their hearts, especially when they saw the old smoker and Taoist Qingfeng, two people whose ages were obviously over the age limit for civil servants, which made them talk a lot.
"What on earth are these people here for?"
"I heard they are here to take the exam, but isn't there an age limit for civil servants?"
"Yeah, those two look like they're at least in their forties, right?"
The reporters discussed the matter but could not come up with an answer. When they came to their senses and wanted to approach for interviews, the group had already walked into the park.
In examination room No. 2, the invigilator was reading out the examination room rules and pre-exam reminders. However, the examinees' attention was focused on another invigilator - Wang Ye.
He was wearing a neat suit, which was completely different from the hooded sweatshirt he usually wore. The exquisite brooch and waist chain embellished it, making him look more gentlemanly. His outstanding temperament and appearance moved many candidates.
The female candidates were all crazy about him, while the male candidates seemed to be a little inferior. Wang remained silent, just staring at the watch on his wrist, as if waiting for something.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door. Then, the door was pushed open, and Zhang Lingyu and others walked in. They saw Wang Ye sitting in the exam seat at a glance, and greeted him, "Deputy Director, we are here!"
Hearing Zhang Lingyu's words, Wang Ye nodded slightly and whispered, "Everyone get ready, the exam is about to begin."
Zhang Lingyu and the others responded and walked to their own rows of seats. This action immediately aroused the curiosity and confusion of other candidates, and even the chief examiner couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Who are they? Are they here to take the exam as well?"
"What's up with those two older gentlemen?"
"They called the invigilator Bureau Deputy, what does that mean?"
The examinees were talking to each other. The examiner had to cough a few times to maintain order in the examination room. Finally, the examination time was up. With the examiner's order, the test papers were distributed to each examinee. Wang Ye opened an antique box and took out several rolls of yellowed paper.
These papers appeared to be extremely old and rare, and when they were distributed to Zhang Lingyu and others, the candidates were even more surprised to see that they began to take out various brushes from their bags and placed them on the pen holders.
Afterwards, they slowly began to grind the ink. This scene made many candidates feel dazed, as if they had walked into the wrong examination room and mistakenly entered into some mysterious magic test.
However, the exam time does not wait for anyone, and the candidates quickly retracted their thoughts and focused on their own test papers. After all, this is the annual provincial exam opportunity, and they don't want to miss the opportunity due to distraction.
Zhang Lingyu and the others carefully examined the requirements on the test paper: draw three suppression spells, three exorcism spells, and three auxiliary spells. Without any hesitation, they quickly pulled out the answer sheets from under the test paper - they were blank yellow spell papers.
Then, they each held the brush in a unique way, silently chanting the spell before drawing the talisman. This scene once again stunned the candidates, who stared at these seven "weirdos" with wide eyes in astonishment.
Some candidates even began to wonder if they were dreaming. After all, how could anyone do such "unorthodox" things in such a serious civil service examination? And seven people did it in unison. What was going on?
The examiner seemed quite confused, but he did not say anything to stop them. Wang Ye looked at Zhang Lingyu and others with approval, and his eyes showed satisfaction.
Some candidates began to pinch their thighs unconsciously, and the pain made them realize that all this was real. As more and more candidates focused their attention on Zhang Lingyu and others, the examiner had to remind them: "Please hurry up and take the exam, time is limited!"
At this moment, no one could understand the pain in the examiner's heart.

Originally he thought this would be an easy job, but unexpectedly, people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau broke into his examination room.
The examiner knew very little about the Nine-Gate Feng Shui Bureau, but he understood that the chief attached great importance to it.
Therefore, when Zhang Qilin was sitting in the examination room, the examiner was always on edge and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
However, when he witnessed the peculiar test items of the candidates in the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau, he felt mixed emotions and was almost on the verge of collapse.
He reminded the candidates again and again to concentrate, and the candidates also tried their best to focus on the test paper.
But their strong curiosity was like a wild horse running out of control, always making them unable to help but sneak a peek out of the corner of their eyes.
The regular civil service written examination subjects are mainly divided into three categories: administrative ability test, essay writing and professional subjects.
The test questions designed by Zhang Qilin for the team members were cleverly based on this, incorporating the basics of Feng Shui, the theoretical basis of spells, and special theoretical assessments.
Therefore, in the previous exam questions, the team members basically faced basic theories such as the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and Feng Shui changes.
Or they may be required to draw talismans with different functions, memorize different spells, and fill in the effects of spells, etc.
It is not until the special assessment stage that targeted examinations are conducted based on each person’s areas of expertise.
For example, Haoxie's test questions focus on directional feng shui, geomancy and sand inspection.
In this segment, Hao Xie was allowed to use his own equipment - the compass.
The special test questions for other people are different. For example, the fat man’s test question is about fortune-telling.
There are many fill-in-the-blank questions that require calculating good or bad fortune based on one’s birth date.
Ma Xiaoling's test questions were related to summoning gods and demons.
The exam content mainly involves the temperament of earthly immortals, the branches of demons, and the categories of ghost messengers.
Wang Ye's test questions were relatively comprehensive, covering some Taoist knowledge, which was not too difficult for him.
The test questions for the old smoker focused on ancient methods and folk methods.
For example, there was a question asking, what is rice stuck with chopsticks called? The old smoker skillfully wrote down the answer: "Daotou rice".
For example, another question asks, in an emergency situation, if you need to use the Bagua formation but there are no Bagua available, how should you replace it and explain the reason.
After thinking for a while, the old smoker wrote on the answer sheet:
"You can use chopsticks instead. Chopsticks themselves contain the principles of yin and yang and the eight trigrams..."
Then, the old smoker elaborated in detail on the eight trigrams hidden in chopsticks.
One end of the chopsticks is round and the other end is square, symbolizing that the sky is round and the earth is square; the sky is the Qian hexagram and the earth is the Kun hexagram, implying the meaning of the Qian and Kun hexagrams; one chopstick is the main one and the other is the auxiliary one, which embodies the principle of yin and yang.
Therefore, in times of crisis, chopsticks can be used instead of the Bagua to practice the formation.
As for Taoist Qingfeng, his exam questions were about the integration of Taoist content and folk content.
It involves a lot of professional knowledge, such as the detailed explanation of the Ming Bagua and the An Bagua, the origins of Qimen and Dunjia, and even tracing the history of their formation.
Each person's special assessment is unique, which fully demonstrates Zhang Qilin's good intentions in setting the questions.
No wonder it took him more than a month to develop this set of test questions.
He hopes that through this exam, all team members can fully demonstrate their true level.
Finally, the five-hour exam is coming to an end, and the team members and other candidates are about to finish their last exam.
As the bell rang, the team members consciously put down their pens and handed the papers to Zhang Qilin.
Afterwards, Zhang Qilin said to the players:
"Go to the next room to take the martial arts exam." (End of this chapter)
