Chapter 15: The test begins!
PS: I wanted to split two chapters, but I just thought about it and read it smoothly.
If you have any suggestions or thoughts after reading them, you can speak freely in the book review. Now there are few people, and those who speak are rewarded with the essence.

Ye Qing didn't take out the harvest this time to sell a single one.
With the Black Dragon, money is no longer Ye Qing’s first pursuit. Being a handsome god with white clothes is the only one who is a god.
Unfortunately, three days are too short, so the only thing Ye Qing can do is to replenish his body's nutrition so that he can better his physical strength and strength.
Three days of the world passes in the blink of an eye. After these days of crazy nourishment such as sea cucumbers, abalones, sea urchins, etc., Ye Qing is now full of red face, and she can almost pinch oil, looking like she is overnutrition.
Early this morning, Xiaoshuang and his father were going to join in the fun, but Chen Zijia said that no one would accompany him, otherwise the registration and assessment qualification would be cancelled.
Ye Dashan didn't know that Ye Qing had done Chen Zijia a big favor and added another 100 taels of gold to get the recommended quota. He only thought that his son was extremely talented and was appreciated by Chen Zijia, a god-like figure.
Smiling with him, Ye Dashan held a bamboo basket and forced him to put it to Chen Zijia. There were big abalone in the bamboo basket, long sea cucumbers in the chopsticks, and a hedgehog-like sea urchin.
Chen Zijia looked at Ye Qing in surprise. These things contained in bamboo baskets are all delicacies, and they will not lose any amount when they are given to anyone.
Ye Dashan cannot go to the sea, so naturally these things were captured by Ye Qing. It is impossible to see that this kid is not only top-notch, but also top-notch in sea fishing skills.
Farewell to his father and Xiaoshuang Xiaoyu, Ye Qing was taken by Chen Zijia to a place covered with black and brown mortar and stone by Chen Zijia.
This mortar land is exactly round and is spread abruptly on this flat land. In addition to Ye Qing, there are dozens of children generally in their teens.
They are both men and women, and they are dressed so simple that they don’t even have shoes, or they are so luxurious that they even have small luggage behind them, they are made of high-quality silk material.
With comparison, these poor children who were already confused about the world became more and more inferior, with their heads hanging down and their hands tucked around the patched clothes.
"I can't stand it... don't hold on." After losing a look that I didn't like you very much, Chen Zijia left.
Bored, Ye Qing glanced back and forth at these "competitors". When he met a few arrogant and disdainful eyes, Ye Qing "cutted" and walked out of the sloppy path not far away.
On the path, a group of people slowly walked towards this. On the sturdy dark horse that was leading, a tall, thin, and deeply frown middle-aged man sat behind him, followed by more than a dozen strong servants carrying wooden boxes.
Purely judgment, Ye Qing could see at a glance that the middle-aged man riding a horse was Tu Yang, the county's parents' official. Ye Qing had never seen the county magistrate before, but this did not prevent him from guessing his identity from the unified soapy beef tendon-soled cloth boots under the feet of the servants behind him.
Ye Qing was a little confused. The county magistrate was not at home to accompany his wife who was about to give birth. Why did he come here to join a bunch of melon babies and eggs?
The answer was quickly solved. The county magistrate disguised as a local tyrant, rode a horse and brought the officers to the dark brown mortar stone, jumped off the horse, smiled happily at the bunch of melon doughs in front of him, "Dear, all the prides who are about to enter the immortal sect, I am the county magistrate of this county, just call me Uncle Wei."
The crowd exploded, and several children who were huddled in the corner and couldn't afford to wear shoes actually bent their legs and knelt down.
In feudal society, which child doesn’t know the deterrence of county magistrates?
The poorer the family, the more they have a natural fear and fear towards the county magistrate. Now the county magistrate is standing in front of them with a kind face. How can they not be afraid?
"Not to do it, no to do it," County Magistrate Wei Tuyang hurried over and helped the kneeling children up one by one: "You are all the pride of all the people of Huangyu County, how can you kneel down to me, the old man?"
"Come, I will give each of our future little fairies ten taels of silver and two new sets of clothes." Heaving up several children, Wei Tuyang waved to the officer behind him.
The officers said "No" neatly, put down the wooden box, and took out neatly arranged gray cloth packages from it.
Both men and women, according to visual inspection, these servants sent clothes of different sizes and silver in their purse to the hands of these children one by one.
Most children's faces flushed and their words were incoherent. Ten taels of silver, for those who are poor, it is a huge sum of money that they can't save in their entire lives.
Wei Tuyang's method of attracting people's hearts was very successful. After receiving the gift, all children from poor families had their eyes filled with blind admiration and gratitude. They all vowed to become immortals and serve the county magistrate.
As for those children dressed in luxurious clothes, they looked indifferent. Some even said thank you symbolically to the county magistrate after taking the baggage and put it on the mortar floor.
Wei Tuyang nodded quite satisfied. Those children who were born with superior birth and had a prosperous family did not expect to gain their gratitude. These helpless and hard-working children are the ones he wants to win over and are very easy to win over. Even if he spends five years repeating this, one of them can be recruited as a disciple by the Giant Spirit Sect, which is worth it.
Ye Qing stood in the last row. When the officer handed the package to his hands, Ye Qing suddenly smiled at the officer.
This servant Ye Qing knew the servant Zhao Yong who robbed him of abalone at the fish market that day and brought someone to beat him up.
Ye Qing's smile made Zhao Yong, who was sending something, stunned. Then he jumped up like a terrifying thing, with cold sweats all over his face.
When Wei Tuyang heard his subordinates screaming, his face suddenly became tense and scolded, "Why are you panic?"
"Uncle County Magistrate, he stepped on the sharp stone." Ye Qing grinned.
The county magistrate scolded "farmer" angrily, then his face turned happy. He walked to the poor children, and took turns patting his shoulders, saying some praise and encouragement words that seemed very nonsense to Ye Qing.
Zhao Yong, a servant who was originally powerful and looked like a overlord in the fish market, looked pale than eating arsenic: "Master~ You have a lot of me, please spare me. I am the villain. I am blind. When my grandfather comes back, the villain comes to the door and kowtow to me and admits his mistake."
"Where did you say that, last time you asked me to admit your mistake, but I haven't agreed yet." Ye Qing smiled and tidied up Zhao Yong's collar. His movements looked like the teacher was earnestly educating disobedient elementary school students.
The officer Zhao Yong was frightened directly. If it weren't for the concern that the county magistrate was present, he would have probably been kneeling on the mortar floor that was hurt.
Zhao Yong, a servant who has participated in the three county magistrates’ encouraging conference, understands the value of the Juling Sect’s quota for the disciples.
There are only two types of people who can get such a place, one is the clan's children who are so rich that they even have to visit even the county magistrate.
Another type is poor children who are so talented that they will shine even if they are born in the desolate mountains.
It is obvious that the guy in front of me who has been selling fish in the fish market a few days ago belongs to the latter. Even if such a person cannot pass the assessment of the Giant Spirit Sect, which is prestigious throughout the dynasty, there will be a large number of famous sects who want to take over the school.
At this moment, even if the worst one in the future, Zhao Yong, a group of 100 employees, is not enough for others to talk.
Of course, the reason why Ye Qing was qualified for recommendation was not the two he thought, but helped Chen Zijia very much and stuffed another 100 taels of gold before getting it.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, a man froze to death and stands in the wind, and he will not slam the donkey and take it down, and show his majesty in the fish market."
"Master..." Zhao Yong's tears were really coming down now.
Zhao Yong wanted to continue begging for mercy, but the county magistrate over there had already finished his condolences and wanted to go home. He had to turn around one step and follow the team as if he was lost.
This is the powerful deterrence brought by power. Ye Qing has never felt good before at this moment, and he is more determined to gain strength.
"Bored!" A little girl of twelve or thirteen years old glanced at Ye Qing, and her crisp voice sounded as nice as a lark pecking on the chilly ice.
The little girl has picturesque black eyebrows like crescent moons and a pair of talking black eyes. Although she is still young, her slender figure has made her exuding the gracefulness and charm of flower buds like a lotus in early summer.
Not only that, Ye Qing also vaguely smelled a refreshing fragrance of flowers from her body, and didn't know what kind of fragrant powder she used.
Ye Qing was a little surprised and curious about her parents. Although the clothes the girl wore were extremely clean, the coarse cloth that had been washed until white was obviously proved that her family was not well off. How could her parents cultivate her such a mature and insightful mentality in this environment?
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Little girl, you don't understand the world of men."
The little girl snorted coldly and turned her head to ignore Ye Qing.
Without the people who spoke, Ye Qing continued to be bored. And the children also clearly stood in two groups, each communicating in a low voice.
From early morning until the sun is noon.
The children were anxious and the first to protest was the ones dressed in wealth. Several of them were the youngest. No one from the Juling Sect came when they waited and finally complained.
They complained why they had to stand on this pile of mortar that was very uncomfortable with the soles of their feet?
Why can't you bring a slave?
As they were talking, several people stepped out of the dark brown mortar stone area, ran to the level ground, spread the bag given by the county magistrate to the ground, and raised their butts to sit on it.
Even though the older ones have long complained, they still grit their teeth and persevere.
However, the sun was getting more and more piping at noon. These pampered children who had no dry food or water could no longer hold on, so they simply put the bag on the mortar stone and used it as a chair cushion.
Although Ye Qing's soles had been hurt by the mortar stones, he had no intention of sitting down. Instead, he looked at the people who were sitting down with a playful look.
Not long after the county magistrate left, Ye Qing guessed that the mortar stone under his feet was the first hidden test. Now three hours have passed, but no one has arrived yet. Are these people sitting down all **?
There must be smart people, and there are a few people who sit down there, who also suspect that this is a test. But they are used to being pampered and have never suffered this. They thought that before the person comes, they just sit for a while and stand up, and it is probably fine.
Apart from a few children who came home and were preparing to teach the money to the adults at home, they almost performed well. There were even two children who were so poor that they couldn't afford to wear shoes, they didn't take the mortar under their feet seriously and walked around on them.
"Two little brothers, you see that so many people have sat down to rest, why don't you sit for a while?" In order to create the greatest opportunity for himself, Ye Qing quietly walked to the two children with similar facial features and held the package generously: "I am a man who is born with no idea about money. I can't even beg over to pick up silver on the road. I will give the clothes and silver in the bag to you brothers."
The child, who resembled two brothers, stared at Ye Qing cautiously and shook his head and refused to drop Ye Qing's proposal.
Frowning, Ye Qing pretended to be walking away.
People from the Juling Sect are likely to be secretly watching here. If you continue to cheat, you may not be able to make a bad review.
"Shameless." The little girl with a charming fragrance on her body spoke again, and she told Ye Qing's thoughts in one sentence.
"Tsk~" Ye Qing was too lazy to pay attention to her.
When the time reached the second hour of Mao, that is, at four o'clock in the afternoon, only five people did not step out of the circle or sat down to rest.
Ye Qing was one, the little girl, and the two barefoot brothers were one. The last one was quite surprised was a rich child of the same age as Ye Qing. He wore brocade and white jade tied with his waist, looking like a little white face.
Ye Qing said "cut" again, thinking that my brother was also a rich man. He only blew the sea breeze for six years and grabbed the fishing net for six years. The people were a little darker and their hands were a little thicker.
Fortunately, six years of hardship in Coptis chinensis gave Ye Qing a good foundation to endure hardships and endure it, so that he could persevere until now.
A gust of breeze blew by, and there was a girl with a fluttering green dress, a slender figure, a curved hip line, and a beautiful girl that was a bit suffocating.
Ye Qing resisted the urge to look at him a few more times, and the true master of his heart came.
"Yu Luoyu, Ye Xidong, Ye Xibei, Su Xiang..." After reading this, the girl glanced at Ye Qing who was so nervous that she was about to pop out, and said slowly: "And Ye Qing, you five have passed this assessment, come with me."
"The rest of those who have never left the circle can pass this level of assessment after three hours from now on."
In a carriage with exquisite materials but inconspicuous materials, Ye Qing patted it very familiarly, calling Ye Xidong Ye Xibei's brothers on the shoulders.
"Yexidong and Yexibeidong, are you from Hexia Village or Xiaomiao Village?"
"He...Hexia Village." The brothers said vigilantly.
"I'll guess." Ye Qing looked suddenly enlightened and said, "You just heard it. My name is Ye Qing, and there are three places in Huangyu County. There are people with the surname Ye in the same family tree. I have the Qing generation, and you are from the Xi generation, so I am still your uncle."
After looking at each other, the two brothers reluctantly said, "Uncle."
Ye Qing was right. Three places in Huangyu County, whose surname was Ye was indeed a family a hundred years ago. In terms of seniority, he had to call Uncle Ye Qing, which is why his brothers were reluctant but had to call him.
The concept of clans in feudal society was extremely strong. Even if he was a bastard, he did not dare to neglect any generation in terms of generation.
"Hey!" Ye Qing responded happily.
"Who dares to bully you in the future, uncle will make the decision for you."
