You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 314 Assessment
This little beggar has a sharp mind. Although his ideas are unique, they are also logical. It is obvious that he has unique insights into the power struggle in the court.

At least he came from a family where people could afford to read and write.

How did it come to this?

When Hu Wen thought about the turmoil and disputes in Daliang in recent years, he felt relieved.

These days are so chaotic, and so many princes have died. The children of wealthy families have to wander around.

"Good luck to you then."

"We are friends." The little beggar smiled and said, "You are different from the others. You look noble and are willing to talk to me. You are not constrained by the outside world. You must have a bright future!"

After saying this, the little beggar's eyes fell on the little fox, and he suddenly seemed a little hesitant:
"Is this a fox?"

"This is a fox."

"I have never seen a fox in my life." The little beggar seemed to want to touch the fox's fur, but he soon found that his hands were covered with oil and dirt. It would not be good to touch the fox rashly, so he simply took his hands back with a wry smile.

Foxy glanced at the little beggar:
"What do you want to do to Foxy?"

After hearing Fox Ni's voice, the little beggar's eyes widened.

He pointed at the fox stiffly:

"She...she can speak!?"

"Yes." Hu Wen nodded with a smile.

This little beggar probably hasn't seen many powerful fighters, and he's half-believing about things like gods and monsters.

Hu Wen has been around for many years and has met many people, including some who are rich but not very knowledgeable.

Most of them had never seen any magical spells or monsters, and were often frightened half to death by the cunning and resourceful wanderers, and had large sums of gold and silver defrauded from them.

I thought this little beggar was good at speaking and should at least know something about the strange things in the martial arts world, but now it seems that he really doesn't understand the relevant content.

The little beggar swallowed his saliva and wanted to ask something more, but at this moment, there was some noise suddenly coming from the door of the library.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up at the entrance of the library.

Leaves are flying and flowers are falling, and the sunset glows brightly.

It immediately swept away the sultry heat at noon and the physical fatigue of everyone waiting here.

Where had the little beggar seen such a magical method? He stared at the stage with his eyes wide open, almost popping out of his head.

He opened his mouth wide, pointed at Zuo Chen on the stage, then at Hu Ni, and for a moment he couldn't utter a word.

Hu Wen smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the other party should listen to Zuo Chen for the time being.

Zuo Chen came to the high platform. Cai Yi stood on his left, Yan Wangsheng and Guan Jinping stood on his right. He looked around and said with a smile:

"Thank you all for coming to the library. I will not set an upper limit on the number of guests I will accept this time, but I will consider your character, vision and knowledge. I will set some levels, which are quite difficult. But please do not worry, there is no risk of injury, just do what you want."

After Zuo Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand and an incense burner appeared above the platform with a stick of incense stuck on it.

"You must complete the test before the incense burns out. If you succeed, you will pass. If you fail, please try again next time."

Many people in the audience looked at the incense stick and began to murmur in their hearts.

That is an ordinary time-keeping incense stick. It takes one hour to burn four sticks. What questions can be solved in such a short time?
But I didn't see a leaf appear in Zuo Chen's palm.
"Please close your eyes."

Zuo Chen's voice reached the ears of everyone present, and seemed to make their hearts palpitate.

Everyone present closed their eyes subconsciously.

Hu Wen and the little fox closed their eyes, and the little beggar followed suit after hesitating for a moment.

Zuo Chen gently threw the leaves in his hand outside, and the green leaves between his fingers floated in the wind, passing by the crowd of people.

Whoever's head was passed by a leaf would stand still and sway a few times, and his breathing would become smoother.

He actually fell asleep!
After just three or two breaths, everyone in the venue fell asleep, and the green leaf returned to Zuo Chen's palm.

The art of the Yellow Millet Dream.

Zuo Chen picked these green leaves casually on the road and used them as a small altar to perform this wonderful method.

The assessment of retainers has officially begun.

……

Darkness, endless darkness.

The little beggar was a little flustered. He counted three heartbeats silently in his mind and then opened his eyes.

The slightly dazzling light reflected into the little beggar's eyes, and he heard the whistling sound of the wind and the sound of flowing water.

After getting used to the scene before him, the little beggar's eyes widened unconsciously.

What appeared before him was not the meeting place just now, but a mountain top shrouded in clouds and mist.

Huge rocks were flying in the sky, forming layers of fairy islands. On top of each fairy island, there were a lot of people piled up. They looked around in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

"Ah, you're awake." Hu Wen's voice came from behind the little beggar. He turned around and saw that the young man holding the fox was looking around with interest. When he saw the little beggar wake up, he smiled and reminded him:

"There is a light gate next to this sky island. You should be able to reach the examination room if you go through it. Each examination room tests different things. You can choose the one you are best at." The little beggar had no intention of listening to Hu Wen's words.

He stared around blankly, with only one thought in his mind:
"There really are gods in this world!"

He was dazed and confused. He stood up and paced around in confusion. Finally, he became excited and jumped up and down, cheering:

"Hey! There are gods! Hey! There are gods!"

Hu Ni blinked and asked Hu Wen in confusion:

"Why is he like this?"

"Maybe he originally wanted to seek the immortals, but couldn't find the way."

Hu Wen explained.

The Qingqiu blood that was constantly throbbing in his body told him that this was not the real world, but a dream.

Taking a look at the vortex gate on the sky island not far away, Hu Wen saw that the contents of the exam inside the gate were marked with fine small characters above the gate.

There are four types in total, which are inscribed with "Fighting Magic", "Supernatural Power", "Study" and "Magic Machine" respectively.

This is the first preliminary test, corresponding to different directions.

Hu Wen was lacking in skills, so naturally he couldn't choose to fight with magic or magical powers, so he simply put Hu Ni down and said:
"You go to the fighting area."

"Oh, Foxy is waiting for you outside."

The little fox ran on four legs towards the direction of the fight.

She just jumped and jumped directly into the whirlpool and disappeared.

Hu Wen shook his head helplessly and walked towards the direction of Shen Ji.

The little beggar who was jumping and laughing finally calmed down, thought for a few seconds, and finally walked in the direction of the study.

Let’s not talk about the little beggar for now. After Hu Wen entered the gate, he saw a test paper directly.

He took the test paper and took a look at it, and found that the content was actually not too profound.

I think this stage will screen out those who are completely unsuitable for the path of studying.

With a wave of his hand, a pen immediately appeared in Hu Wen's hand. Hu Wen quickly wrote the answers on the test paper. As the test paper disappeared, the second door in front of him opened.

After passing the second door, Zuo Chen's shadow appeared in front of him.

Zuo Chen glanced at him and said, "I won't let you go."

"Please give us some questions, Taoist Priest." Hu Wen said.

Zuo Chen waved his Taoist robe, and the square wooden ox immediately appeared in front of Hu Wen.

"I have explained to you the principle of making this wooden ox before. You are one step ahead of others, so I need you to reconstruct this wooden ox and come up with at least two other ways to use it."

This second level tests your learning ability to apply what you have learned to other situations.

Hu Wen was more excited this time:

"You are so lucky! I happened to study your blueprint when I returned."

"Then tell me your ideas." Zuo Chen said with a smile.

……

The little fox passed the first two levels quickly.

The first level is a battle of wits, which requires wooden puppets with the same characteristics to fight against each other.

The wooden puppet was quite powerful, but unfortunately its skills were much worse than those of the little fox, so she got through without much effort.

In the second level, the Taoist priest came out personally and asked Hu Ni some questions. Hu Ni just answered them happily, but for some reason the Taoist priest remained silent for a long time. He then squeezed out a sentence: "You are a genius," and let the little fox go.

When the little fox entered the last level, she found that the surroundings seemed to have turned into the venue she was in before.

The Taoist priest smiled and said to her: "You have passed the test."

The little fox blinked and looked at Zuo Chen: "Master, the Bodhisattva said that lying is not good."

The corner of Zuo Chen's shadow's mouth twitched slightly.

The Qingqiu bloodline has a natural resistance to dream-creating spells. Zuo Chen's original intention for this final stage was to use fast-forwarding to let the subjects experience a false dream of Huang Ke, to see if if he really became this disciple, he would go astray in the next ten years because of the power and momentum he gained.

I didn't expect that this little fox saw through it at a glance.

After staring at Fox Ni for a while, Zuo Chen nodded:
"Yes, lying is not good."

The dream faded away and the little fox opened his eyes.

She tilted her head slightly and found that Hu Wen was still silent, so she simply did not move.

She just lay obediently in Hu Wen's arms, waiting for him to wake up.
