Chapter 79: The Golden List, Lord Zhao of the Divine Sky "Ugh!" Tao Tie sighed deeply, feeling quite sentimental. "Why are you sighing?" Li Jianyan, the female teacher who had not been able to go down earlier, suddenly asked in a low voice, and her mood seemed to be wrong. Tao Tie was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth to speak. Li Jianyan's voice suddenly became much colder, and his mood became increasingly abnormal: "Don't talk! You're disturbing me!" A hint of cold air emanated from her. The weeds and bushes on the path were covered with frost and shivered. Qiu Wanru glanced at her best friend who had suddenly gone "crazy" and sighed imperceptibly. A trace of pity flashed in her eyes, mixed with a hint of heartache.

She was a wonderful woman who dared to love and hate, but one day she met the wrong person and ended up like this. It's really pitiful. It also made Qiu Wanru determined that she would never be trapped by love from now on, and would focus on her pursuit of the Tao. Huang Junshi could understand why Li Jianyan suddenly went "crazy", but he couldn't say anything at this time no matter from which perspective, so he simply kept silent. Let young people solve their own problems. Tao Tie has always been aware of the current situation, but he is also soft-hearted and does not respond to hard tactics. Facing Li Jianyan's "madness", Tao Tie did not tolerate it without limit, and said sternly: "Teacher Li, first, I didn't say anything; second, even if I did, I wouldn't disturb you; third, I don't know why you are suddenly in a bad mood, and I don't understand it, but one thing is for sure, this is not a reason for you to vent your anger on me!" "I asked you why you were sighing!" Li Jianyan's behavior was very strange. After being retorted by Tao Tie, he did not feel any emotion at all and even asked the question again. It seems that the answer to this question is very important to her. But she also felt that she could actually foresee what answer Tao Tie would give. She didn't want to listen and didn't dare to listen, but she couldn't help but listen. Extremely weird. Tao Tie felt quite confused and couldn't help but look at the teacher. Huang Junshi turned his head away and did not look at him. Helplessly, Tao Tie turned to look at his senior sister. Qiu Wanru grinned, but his expression was one of helplessness. "I asked, why are you sighing?" Li Jianyan suddenly raised his tone and asked again. I was feeling a little impatient.

Tao Tie felt a little unhappy because he was asked irrelevant questions repeatedly and the other party had a bad attitude. He did not avoid the question any more and replied in a stiff tone: "I sigh what love is in this world, that can make people pledge to each other for life and death! I sigh that it is always difficult for lovers to become a couple! I sigh that the flowers are silent when I ask them with tears in my eyes, and the scattered red petals fly away for thousands of years!" After answering, Tao Tie emphasized: "Are you satisfied?" Li Jianyan was stunned, tears seemed to flash across the corners of his eyes, and he said in a low and doubtful voice: "Qianqiu?" This focus is extremely rare. Tao Tie was also stunned when he heard this, and then replied: "It was originally a swing, and I changed it to Qianqiu." "Is that so?" Li Jianyan muttered something, raised his head, and looked at the moon which was not bright tonight. His eyes were shining, and many emotions were surging in his heart. It seems that I see a young woman, nestling in the arms of her lover, galloping on horseback, strolling in the spring, and then swinging on the grass in the woods. The woman was sitting, being pushed by her lover, swinging on the swing, smiling happily. Then, the lover took another young woman to a brothel, had wine and slept with her, and made love with her. "Ugh!" Li Jianyan sighed deeply and said abruptly, "I'm sorry." After saying this, she said no more. She thought about it and returned home in an instant. "I'll follow and take a look." Qiu Wanru, her best friend, was worried, so she said something, and then she flew into the air with a flash of sword light. There were only Huang Junshi and Tao Tie on the path. Tao Tie asked: "Teacher, did I say something wrong or do something wrong?" Huang Junshi shook his head, then smiled awkwardly but not impolitely: "I don't know either." Then, Huang Junshi changed the subject: "It's getting late, let's go back." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a flash of golden light, and the person disappeared. 孽 孽! The female disciple who was taught with all her heart and soul was causing trouble to others every day and had so many romantic debts. Why do women make it difficult for women? Even if you have to make things difficult for each other, don't let the romantic debts outside come to the fore in front of your teacher who is like a father to you! It’s hard for teachers to do this! Ugh! sigh. Sighs are the main theme of this night. Tao Tie was very surprised by Huang Junshi's sudden disappearance as if he was escaping. It took him a while to recover, and his mind moved, turning into a breeze, floating towards the county town.

As usual, he passed the security check of the city protection array before entering the city and immediately returned to his own cave. It was already three quarters past three in the morning, quite late. Tao Tie did not practice "Marshal Zhao's Mixing Method", but just counted the unexpected gains of tonight. There is no need to look too closely at the gifts from the Yudai River God and other mountain and river gods. Either the intention is not good enough, or the value is not high enough, or it is not very useful. Throw it aside and sell it later or give it away. After taking off the jade pendant given by County Magistrate Mu, Tao Tie played with it for a while, then put it away solemnly, and decided to wear it every day unless there were special circumstances. Jade nourishes people, and people nourish jade. After being nurtured by Miao Zongren's literary mind, literary courage, and literary spirit/righteousness for thirty years, this jade pendant carved from ordinary jade has become magical. A qualitative change in the direction of Haoranqi. It’s just that it’s not the Haoran instrument of “Wenxin Diaolong”, but the Haoran instrument of “Five Constant Virtues of a Gentleman”. What are the Five Constant Virtues of a Gentleman? Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. What Miao Zongren said, that he hoped Tao Tie would become a gentleman as elegant as Huang Junshi in the future, was not just empty talk. Instead, we give sincere and good wishes and look forward to it. Being constantly influenced by the "Five Constant Virtues of a Gentleman", Tao Tie's understanding of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness will inevitably be deepened. In dealing with people, you will definitely be guided. This was a great thing, and Tao Tie accepted it with pleasure. After putting away the jade pendant, he took out the dragon horns, tendons and skins given by Senior Sister Qiu Wanru, the granddaughter of Mr. Qiu. These three materials are all of fifth grade quality, and they also have a hint of fourth grade aura. I think it must have been taken from a dragon that had just completed the water-walking process necessary for a dragon to be promoted from the fifth grade to the fourth grade. Find a good weapon refiner, maybe he can use these three materials to refine an earth-level magic weapon! Whether it was high quality, medium quality, or low quality, it was beyond Tao Tie's psychological preparation, or experience. It turns out that living in a remote corner can easily lead to a narrow vision. Just before going to the Eight Immortals Mountain to watch the ceremony tonight, he was still pondering over whether or not to take the top-grade Xuan-level Ziwu Yuanyang Sword. Senior Sister Qiu from the capital city can create materials for an earth-grade magic weapon with just a few moves. Still three or four items. And I also feel a little embarrassed.

The disparity in the world is so great! "We have to find a way to travel around, especially to the inner nine provinces and the capital. We can't be a frog in a well." With emotion, Tao Tie put away the three dragon treasures. At the same time, it was also decided that the three dragon treasures and the round shield-shaped turtle shell obtained from the eighty-seventh son would be sent to the warehouse of the missionary academy tomorrow, and a teacher who was proficient in refining instruments would be hired to refine the magic instruments at a high price. The dragon skin and turtle shield could be fused together to make a close-fitting soft armor. A rope made from dragon tendons has many uses. As for the dragon horn, I can refine it into a lightning-attracting/lightning-storing device. After all, he would soon be practicing the Taiyi Five Thunders Visualization and Spirit Refining Technique, and practicing some thunder magic at the same time, which would be of great use. I put the Five Thunder Diagram given by Mengxi Sanren from Jingling Mountain and the handwritten version of "The Book of Changes" given by the teacher Li Jianyan together, and open them when I want to read them later. Especially the Five Thunder Diagram, since I haven't practiced the art of spiritual cultivation yet, it's useless to look at it, so it's better not to look at it. As for the handwritten version of the I Ching by the great scholar, I need to calm down and study it carefully. It's late now, and it's time to rest, so it's not suitable to read. As for the secret of making incense given by the City God Ke Youqiu, Tao Tie immediately took it out, read it, and received it. After a while, Tao Tie had a general understanding of how to make faith incense and spiritual incense. Compared to refining tools, making incense is not that difficult. With subsequent practice, you will definitely be able to master this skill. but…… Incense making is an art that requires a great deal of time, energy and financial resources to master, especially time and financial resources. As for these two things, Tao Tie was not only embarrassed, but also insufficient. "So I have to make a good choice. As long as I can be self-sufficient and meet my needs for training soldiers and generals, it will be fine. I can't and shouldn't learn incense making as a skill to make money or to make a living." Having made the decision, Tao Tie's mind became clear. He put away his secret of making incense and finished counting the unexpected gifts he had received tonight. Then calm your mind and go to sleep to rest. Wake up naturally. A new day begins. Get up, practice boxing, wash up, have morning lessons, collect herbs and cultivate qi, and go out to report for duty. Before the hour of Mao, Tao Tie arrived at the office of the Immortal God Department. There are some differences between today's yamen and yesterday's yamen. On the inner side of the screen wall, there appeared a golden list in the style of a scroll hanging in the air. Tao Tie looked at it carefully and found that this golden list had a great origin. It was made by the Imperial Observatory under the order of the emperor and was published throughout the country by the Ministry of Rites.

There are three lists on it. The first list from the left is called the Dengzhen List, which lists one hundred cultivators under the age of fifty in the Heavenly Kingdom, indicating that these hundred people have the greatest hope of attaining enlightenment and ascending to immortality; The second list in the middle is called the Ruyi List, which lists one hundred cultivators under the age of forty-five in the Heavenly Kingdom, indicating that these one hundred people are most likely to realize their ambitions; The third list from the far right is called the Hidden Dragon List, which lists one hundred cultivators under the age of twenty-five in the Heavenly Dynasty. It means that these hundred people have the greatest potential and may be able to achieve their dreams or attain enlightenment. Two people from the Immortal God Department of Liuxian County were included in the list recently compiled by the Imperial Observatory. The first was Huang Junshi, the governor, who was listed on the Dengzhen list, ranked seventy-sixth; The second is the Inspector General Tao Tie, who was on the Hidden Dragon List and ranked ninety-ninth. Tao Tie was very surprised to discover this. The Celestial Empire has a vast territory, a large population, and countless geniuses. He is a stubborn stone with a leaky body who can only practice with the "Taotie Visualization Method". Even if he is lucky enough to kill the sixth-grade lower ghosts and gods with the help of many opportunities with the eighth-grade upper cultivation, he can't make it to the Hidden Dragon List. It should be noted that this list only selects one hundred people, regardless of Confucianism, martial arts, Taoism, Buddhism, or witchcraft, but there are so many talented cultivators under the age of twenty-five in the Heavenly Kingdom! Why did the Imperial Observatory choose him? Tao Tie was stunned and couldn't believe it. Then, with an inexplicable feeling, he walked towards the training ground where the morning meeting was held. "Did you see that?" “I discovered it as soon as I arrived.” "Wow! That really blinded my eyes. My heart is pounding with shock now." “I am the same.” "I don't dare to have any opinion on the fact that the governor was able to be on the list of immortals. According to the information I got, when the governor came to our Liuxian County thirty years ago, he was only sixteen years old. He has been keeping a low profile for thirty years. But when he makes a move, he is a third-rank great cultivator, and he is also an unparalleled sword immortal. If he doesn't become an immortal, how many people in Cangyun Prefecture can become an immortal?" "Who says it isn't?" "I am really shocked that the Taodu Patrol Envoy can make it to the Hidden Dragon List." "How to say?" "Hehe... can't say, can't say..." "Hey! You're just standing here with me." Without even reaching the training ground, Tao Tie, who had super hearing, could hear a lot of discussions. Although there wasn't much bad to say, there wasn't much good to say either. The reason is actually quite simple. Psychological factors such as envy, jealousy and hatred are one aspect.

On the Hidden Dragon List, although Tao Tie is not ranked last, his cultivation level is last. Even Murong Yanxi, who ranked 100th, has a cultivation level above the sixth rank! Not to mention the people who were discussing it, Tao Tie himself was doubting how he got on the Hidden Dragon List. And I feel worried. He was worried that his ability of "knowing everything" would be exposed to the Imperial Observatory. At this time, the chief steward Huang Junshi arrived at the martial arts arena ahead of time and said softly, "Nothing to do today, let's adjourn." Then he waved to Tao Tie: "Come here." Tao Tie immediately stepped forward and followed the teacher to the duty room. Huang Junshi was sitting on the armchair behind the desk, Tao Tie was standing in front of the desk, and the door was wide open. As soon as he entered the duty room, the boy's talisman in Tao Tie's sea of ​​consciousness was replaced with one hundred and fifty general's talismans under the supervision of Huang Junshi. The missionary institute's external ordination system is so informal when it comes to ordination. "The dredging of the Yudai River will begin today." Without saying anything personal, or mentioning the three lists that suddenly appeared, Huang Junshi said directly, "I want you to comb through all the sections of Yudai River in Liuxian County within three days. If there are water ghosts, kill them. If there are water monsters, kill them. If there are water strongholds, take them down. In a word..." Huang Junshi stared into Tao Tie's eyes and said in a deep voice: "No matter if it's a human, a ghost, a demon, or a god, as long as they hinder the navigation and dredging of the Yudai River, no warning is needed and they will be killed without mercy. Do you understand?" "I understand the report!" Tao Tie stood up straight, shouted loudly, and responded with orders. "Go do something." Huang Junshi waved his hand and said, "Focus more." "Yes, I take care of everything." Tao Tie responded loudly again, turned around and left, returning to the office building of the third shift inspector. All three shifts of inspectors were immediately summoned together to convey the order from the chief officer. This is what is meant by communication between superiors and subordinates. When all inspectors understood the orders and will of the governor, they took action immediately. Class A and Class C will still do their original work, responsible for patrolling outside the city, the area around Baxian Mountain and the four districts within the city, but they must also be prepared to support Class B at any time. Class B is no longer divided into three groups, but instead forms a group and combs the Yudai River from beginning to end. In this way, Tao Tie listened to his teacher's words, concentrated on his work, and combed the Yudai River. He did not show any abnormality because of his appearance on the Hidden Dragon List. This made many people in Liuxian County, Siming Prefecture, and even Cangyun Prefecture who were paying close attention to Tao Tie's every move quite disappointed.

Yes, disappointed. What they wanted to see was not the calm Tao Tie. But he is a proud and arrogant villain. He is a complacent grassroots. After a busy day, Tao Tie came off duty and immediately went to the City God Temple to take away 150 lower-rank ninth-grade ghost soldiers. Even if the fragments of information about these ghost soldiers indicate that they came from the underworld of Mount Dadong that was dispersed by the Heavenly Dynasty, so what? This moment, that moment. Tao Tie was listed on the Hidden Dragon List with his mere eighth-grade cultivation. Naturally, he would be envied and challenged. He urgently needed to improve his strength in all aspects. Perhaps the teacher learned the news from Senior Sister Qiu in advance, so he accepted him as a disciple in public last night. After returning to his private residence from the City God Temple, Tao Tie acted as if nothing had happened. Just like a few days ago, he taught Du Bo Xingyiquan seriously for half an hour before returning to the missionary institute. Deliver the three dragon treasures and the round shield turtle shell to the warehouse, explain the needs, and give a large deposit. Tao Tie finally had some free time, no longer bothered by trivial matters. Do the evening classes with peace of mind, collect herbs and practice, and then practice the method. Not long after, Tao Tie's magic power was almost drained away at once. A divine general with a black face, thick beard, wearing an iron crown, holding an iron whip in his hand and riding a black tiger appeared in front of him. It can summon the wind and rain, and drive away thunder and lightning. They were none other than the four guardian generals, Xuantan Flying Tiger, and Shenxiao Zhao Gong. Without a doubt, Tao Tie chose Thor. (End of this chapter)
