Winner in life

After dinner, Ruihe and Hongzi took a group of other nephews and nephews for a walk around. Their destination was Huming Mountain, which was the location of the competition. There is a flat land at the foot of Huming Mountain, which has been transformed into a square and will soon be used as a venue for the literary competition. Because Huming Mountain is the examination room where the Zhai family hosts the competition, part of the martial arts test content is also on this mountain. At this time, the road up the mountain has been blocked and it is used as an examination room. So they could only walk around at the foot of the mountain. Along the way, he met many disciples from other sects. Rui He's spirit has been tense since he arrived here, but his face did not show it at all, he was as steady and calm as usual.

"Look, that's the eldest son of the head of the Zhai family. He was born with yin and yang eyes!" The disciple of Heliangguan next to him suddenly pointed in a direction and spoke. Ruihe looked along and saw an already unfamiliar face - Zhai Yinglin. .

Zhai Yinglin is tall and handsome. Ruihe has never crossed paths with him in his life. He put aside his original jealousy and prejudice against Zhai Yinglin in his memory, and objectively used two words to describe his first impression of Zhai Yinglin: a proud man of heaven, handsome and unparalleled.

Born with yin and yang eyes, God provides food for you.

"It's him." Hongzi said, "The Zhai family often has yin-yang eyes. The current head of the family has opened a celestial eye. Unexpectedly, his eldest son is even better. With Zhai Yinglin taking over, the Zhai family can secure its future. At least a hundred years of prosperity.”

Good seedlings are like firewood, making the inheritance last forever.

Rui He smiled: "Yes, it is so rare to be born with yin and yang eyes."

Hongzi rubbed his head: "But our Lotus Temple is not bad either. Oh, our Hongzhen is also a little genius. So what if we don't have yin and yang eyes? There are so many heavenly masters in the country, don't they all have yin and yang eyes? Those If you don’t have it, why don’t you practice?”

Ruihe grabbed Hongzhen's hand and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, don't rub my bun, it will mess it up."

Hongzi didn't listen and insisted on continuing to rub: "What's wrong? Senior brother is so kind to you and can't even rub your head. You are partial. How can master rub me but not? You are partial..."

The group of people walked back noisily and laughed.

Behind him, Zhai Yinglin suddenly felt something in his heart among the clan members holding the moon. Looking back, he only saw a group of Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes walking on the path in front. He asked: "Which Taoist temple are they disciples of?"

"Looks like the clothes are from Yue Lian Guan?"

"No, it should be from Helian Temple. The Taoist robes of both families are embroidered with lotus patterns, but the Taoist robes of Helian Temple are light blue, and those of Yuelian Temple are light blue."

In recent years, as the country has gradually standardized the unified management of Taoist sects, some Taoist temples, in order to build their own brand image and expand their influence, have worked hard on their Taoist robes and added unique designs to them as the characteristics of their sect.

"Oh." Zhai Yinglin looked arrogant, "I heard that there is a seventeen-year-old disciple in their temple who also signed up for the competition this time? I heard that he is a genius. He has learned seven or seven skills in less than two years after starting. It’s eighty-eight years old, I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

His tone was casual, as if he had casually judged the grass on the roadside or the clouds in the sky when he saw it. This confidence comes from his status as the young master of the Zhai family, and also from having the only pair of natural yin and yang eyes in the Zhai family. No matter how powerful other people are, they are not in his eyes.

The companion beside him hurriedly said: "I think it must be the news spread by Helianguan, and it is deliberately hyped! People nowadays are not pure in mind. What is the use of learning online marketing methods? Is it true? Once you show off your ability, you will know it. No matter how much you praise it now, it will be embarrassing later.”

Zhai Yinglin was satisfied with this. This time, he also wanted to participate in the Taoist competition. He was originally the youngest among the contestants, but now there was another competitor of the same age as him. Even if he didn't take the opponent seriously, he still felt embarrassed. answer.

"Let's go back." Zhai Yinglin turned around and left. Suddenly his phone vibrated. When he opened it, he saw that his whole body was like ice and snow melting, and he returned from the top of the snow-capped mountains to the spring countryside, "Xiao Qiang? You want to come and see Me? Great! I’ll send someone to pick you up!”

Over there, Xiang Ruihe returned to his room and was also thinking about Zhai Yinglin. After learning that his and Zhai Yinglin's life experiences were reversed, when he looked at Zhai Yinglin's appearance, he felt that he was more or less similar to Lu Qiaoyou. Speaking of Lu Qiao, she had been posting missing persons notices to look for him for more than a year.

That persistence makes uninformed people moved, and they think she is such a sympathetic mother and amazing motherly love. Keruihe knew full well that Lu Qiao had no feelings for the original person at all, so publishing it in the newspaper without any expense was completely inconsistent with the logic of her previous behavior.

She didn't value Lu Mingcong, so what made her persist in looking for him?

No matter how much I think about it, I get too little information and make no progress. Ruihe quickly fell asleep, and got up early the next day to exercise and then practice, not panicking about tomorrow's competition. The senior brother who led the team went outside to inquire about the information and said: "This year's exam questions are still compiled by those great heavenly masters. I think the question types will not change much."

The Dao Sect Competition has been held for hundreds of years. From private to government offices, countless real test questions have been accumulated over the years. There are countless books of real test questions. They are all compiled from memory by previous candidates, and they are all circulated in private. The larger the Taoist temple and the longer the family has been, the more competitions they have participated in and the more real questions they have accumulated.

"I have a good friend in Jinglingguan, and I happened to exchange a book of real test questions with him that they just compiled and adapted this year. Please take a look."

The team leader took out the real test collection and asked Ruihe and the other disciples to look at it together. The first level of the written test is actually not that difficult. It tests memory and judgment. As long as you spend time to recite the memory, it is definitely not difficult to pass. Judgment requires the guidance of elders, breaking the rigid thinking, or forming your own judgment thinking in practice.

"It looks similar to ours." Ruihe flipped through it and had a clear idea in his mind. "You guys take a look."

"Uncle Hongzhen, don't you want to look?"

Ruihe smiled and shook his head: "You guys take a look first."

Ruihe is not worried about the written test. He is worried about the martial arts test. The martial arts test is naturally about real kung fu. In the Taoist sect, disciples learn classics, rituals, Taoist techniques, talismans, inner alchemy, martial arts, feng shui, fortune-telling, etc. Different sects have their own emphasis, and the Taoist competition covers all content and does not favor any sect.

Ruihe is looking forward to tomorrow's competition.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed and he saw a little boy wearing a Taoist robe of the Zhai family talking to the master of the temple. He pretended to go out casually, called "Master", and asked: "Who is this--" The master of the temple is his nephew according to seniority, but it is not appropriate to call him "Nephew Hebai", so Ruihe called him the master of the temple like his other senior brothers to show respect.

Master Hebai turned around and smiled: "This is the Taoist boy of the Zhai family. He is here to invite me and my uncle Cai Ningzi to the lunch on the orders of the master of the Zhai family."

Ruihe's heart moved, and he smiled and asked: "Is that so? The master is resting in the room. Do you need me to inform him?"

"Okay."

When he heard that the master of the Zhai family wanted to treat him, Cai Ningzi's first reaction was to frown, and then said: "No!"

Ruihe was puzzled: "Why didn't the master go? The little boy said that the leaders of the participating sects have been invited." In Helian Temple, Cai Ningzi and the master of the temple are the leaders.

This is a necessary social interaction. Cai Ningzi has a good temper. If there is a job that requires him to participate, he will never refuse.

"Master, are you feeling uncomfortable?" He hurriedly touched Cai Ningzi's forehead.

"No, no." Cai Ningzi said with a smile, "I just don't want to go. Just let your nephew He Bai go."

"That's good." Rui He was relieved, "Master, can I go with the master?" He was a little embarrassed, "I heard that Zhai Yinglin of the Zhai family is the same age as me. He has always been known as a genius. This time he will also participate in the competition. I-"

He was about to say something but stopped.

Cai Ningzi smiled lovingly: "Do you want to see your opponent?"

Rui He nodded gently.

Cai Ningzi could understand the youthful spirit. He immediately decided: "Then I'll go. I'll take you."

"Thank you, Master, you are so kind!"

Rui He, the 17-year-old apprentice, was led by his master to attend the lunch. The lunch was held in the central area of ​​the Zhai family courtyard group. Rui He followed honestly, and his eyes looked at the surrounding environment inconspicuously.

The Zhai family's mansion is full of historical deposits and family heritage.

When he arrived at the banquet hall, Ruihe sat between Cai Ningzi and the master. He looked around and saw Zhai Sutian with his sharp eyes.

Zhai Sutian has not changed much from what he saw in the video more than a year ago. He looks very young, in his early thirties. In fact, Zhai Sutian is already forty-one years old. He also saw a woman wearing a light blue cheongsam next to Zhai Sutian. The feminine temperament is intellectual and elegant, and she is intimate with Zhai Sutian.

"Master, is that lady the mistress of the Zhai family?"

He Bai took a look and nodded: "Yes, she is the daughter of the Kou family, named Kou Dan, and her Taoist name is Danxia."

Ruihe thought: "So it's the Kou family."

There are many Tianshi families in the Taoist sect, but the leaders in recent years are Zhang Yang Zhai Lu Kou.

"Then why can't I see news about the mistress of the Zhai family on the Internet?" There is not even a name.

The master whispered, "Some of the reasons are hard to explain. If you are curious, I will tell you when we get back."

"Okay."

Seeing Ruihe looking over there again, the master suddenly felt something strange, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

Zhai Sutian and his wife toasted and greeted each table, and came to Ruihe's table half an hour later.

"Fellow Daoist Cai Ningzi, Senior Brother Hebai, long time no see. You coming to visit really makes my humble home shine." In Taoism, if Taoists from different sects can call each other fellow Daoists, if they want to address each other according to age, they can call senior brother or junior brother.

Hebai hurriedly stood up: "Junior Brother Sutian is too polite." He greeted Mrs. Kou again, "Fellow Daoist Danxia." Cai Ningzi sat down, responded with a few words, and asked Ruihe to call someone.

"Hello, two Taoist priests, Hongzhen is polite." Ruihe saluted with a smile, raised his head and looked at Zhai Sutian and his wife openly.

Zhai Sutian and his wife Kou Dan were both stunned. The strange feeling in the master's heart came out again. He smiled and said, "This is the little apprentice of our great master. He is seventeen years old this year. He came here this time to see the Taoist competition."

"This one——" Zhai Sutian looked at Ruihe's eyebrows, with surprise and suspicion in his eyes. "Is her name Hong Zhen? She looks so good."

Ruihe smiled shyly and didn't say anything.

Kou Dan's reaction was even greater than Zhai Sutian's. She stared at Ruihe and couldn't come back to her senses. While staring at Ruihe, her eyes were filled with tears.

"Two Taoist priests, what's wrong?" Ruihe asked in confusion, then leaned next to Cai Ningzi and pretended to be frightened.

Cai Ningzi was not very happy. What did you mean by being so upset? He pulled Rui He to his side, frowned and asked, "Do you two have anything else to do? Please do whatever you want, we have to eat."

The author has something to say: Morning, morning, morning!

Cai Ningzi (very unhappy): You scared my apprentice, let’s go quickly.
