On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, and there are twenty-four solar terms in the Middle Earth.

The second day of the second month of each year is the enrollment day of Taihao Dao Temple, and the 20th day of the first lunar month is the opening day - yes, Taihao Dao Temple has winter vacation.

The Taoist students are not monks.

As mentioned before, as the founder of the Taihao Dynasty, many places of Taihao Sect are different from ordinary sects. Taoist students are equivalent to "outer disciples" of Taihao Sect. Those with excellent grades can only be considered true monks when they enter the mountain gate to practice.

Those who perform mediocrely, usually join the court to serve after graduation.

For the Imperial Dynasty and Taihao Sect, doing this can greatly save energy, and you can select the best talents to expand the sect, and you will not waste the rest.

Other sects do not have the advantages of Taihao Sect, and still select disciples according to the traditional method, distinguishing them into inner and outer disciples.

In fact, many people in the monk circle speculated that Hong Changkong founded the dynasty to facilitate the collection of talents from all over the world. After all, being admitted to the Taoist mortals is equivalent to being tied to the royal family, and at the worst he can enter the court as an official, which is definitely more attractive than other sects.

Gu Wuyou was interested: "How should I participate in it?"

"Register first, the Dao Court has a special registration point."

Gu Wuyou turned his head and looked at the direction of the Taoist temple. The Taihao Taoist temple covers a huge area and is almost close to the palace, so no one will not be able to find it.

Lu Xuan: "How much does the registration fee?"

Shangguan Yi: "What registration fee? The Taoist court treats the rich and the poor equally, only recognizes the foundation, and registers are completely free."

Gu Wuyou added: "As far as I understand, going to school is free."

He explained specifically for Lu Xuan, because according to Lu Xuan, the Taoist temples on the earth... no, universities charge tuition fees, and they are very high. There is no university in Zhongtu, but not only Taihao Taoist temple, but no sect can accept disciples, it is impossible for any sect to charge tuition fees.

Once linked to money, practice becomes a privilege for rich people.

Although monks actually don’t care about this, being rich does not mean being talented. If ordinary people don’t have the opportunity to participate, how many outstanding talents will be lost?

Taiho Taoist Temple not only has no tuition fees, but also provides food and drink, and even pays monthly fees.

So in a sense, if Gu Wuyou was admitted to the Taoist temple, the monthly money was enough to support him and Lu Xuan, and there was no need to worry about his livelihood.

"Let's go, sign up!" Gu Wuyou waved.

"Wait." Shangguan Yi called him, "Have you signed up before?"

Gu Wuyou shook his head. In the past, he and the old Taoist would rather starve to death than give up the last bit of dignity of the Taoist priests. How could he participate in the selection of the sect?

Shangguan Yi: "Then have you understood the specific registration process?"

Gu Wuyou continued to shake his head.

Shangguan Yi: "If you don't know anything, you have to register. It's really like Zhangkou. Forget it, who told you to be Xiaopan's brother? I decided to help you. I'll take you to register and provide you with full guidance on the spot."

Gu Wuyou: "No need for this..."

"If you really want to be a monk, don't reject my kindness." Shangguan Yi bulged his mouth, "Otherwise, everything you said to grandpa before will be an excuse."

Lu Xuan pulled Gu Wuyou and winked at him.

Even if you don’t want to receive food from pity and help guide the registration, it has nothing to do with dignity, so why refuse? This adventurer, who is a newcomer, even found an indigenous person, who is you, as a guide.

One of us is a ruined Taoist priest who has never been to Yujing City, and the other is a time traveler. Her eyes are numb and she has to admit defeat if she should give up. Don't hold on.

Gu Wuyou understood what Lu Xuan meant.

He bowed to Shangguan Yi and said, "I'll bother you."

Shangguan Yi: "It's not troublesome, I'm idle anyway."

...

In front of the gate of Taiho Taoist Palace.

There is only one so-called registration point, and not many applicants. In fact, this registration point was set up before the New Year because the territory of Middle Earth is too vast, and some people who are interested in registering even have to travel tens of thousands of miles, which takes several years to reach.

Therefore, it is never possible to register in groups, and people come one after another every day.

Having said that, the extreme situation of rushing tens of thousands of miles is obviously not fair enough to poor people.

Those who have wealthy families can set out in advance, for example, the child is on the road at the age of six or seven, and it is the right age to arrive in Yujing City. The poor cannot afford such a long time, and with limited money, they may starve to death on the road.

The key is that practicing depends on the foundation of talent, and you may not be admitted after signing up.

I worked hard for tens of thousands of miles, but failed the exam, and in the end I had to rush back to my hometown in shame. The cost was too high and most people could not bear it.

So in fact, those who can come from afar are usually rich people, and ordinary people are limited to Lingzhou where Taihao Sect is located. People in other states still choose to participate in the selection of sects nearby.

Due to limited conditions, Taihao Sect cannot solve this disadvantage.

You can't send a group of monks to the territory of other sects to "grab students"? They are all fellow practitioners, so it's not a scene to do this.

Gu Wuyou and the other four walked to the registration point.

The middle-aged man in charge of registration looked inconspicuous, but Shangguan Yi said earlier that he was a serious court official.

Gu Wuyou held his fists and bowed: "Hello, I'll sign up."

The middle-aged man looked up and swept the four people around, and finally fixed his eyes on Lu Xuan: "Name."

"Gu Wuyou." Gu Wuyou said.

"Let her say it myself." The middle-aged man pointed at Lu Xuan.

"No, you're wrong. It's not her who signed up for it, it's me."

"You?" The middle-aged man was stunned, looked up and down, and shook his head and said, "You can't."

"Why?"

"You four are actually too old, and the little girl must be thirteen or fourteen years old. I see her with a sharp look and may have a good foundation, so I will give her a chance to try it. As for you, haha..."

Sure enough, age is a big problem.

Gu Wuyou had expected it, because practicing Taoism also talks about age appropriately - of course, all the magic techniques of the Shenxu Sect were lost, and age and other things were all over the clouds.

"I think my eyes are also very lively." Gu Wuyou said seriously.

Middle-aged man: "You are a thief."

Gu Wuyou: "..."

Shangguan Yi was immediately dissatisfied and reached out to knock on the table: "You can try saying it again?"

Oh, who is this? How dare you knock on the table in front of me... Hey, she seems to be Shangguan Jieyan's granddaughter? At least during the period of being in charge of the registration matter, the middle-aged man was directly under the jurisdiction of Guiyan. He visited the Shangguan family and met Shangguan Yi.

A practitioner has a good memory and still has an impression.

Look at Shangguan Yi, then look at Gu Wuyou, who was wearing a shabby Taoist robe. The middle-aged man was confused. Who is this young man? Why did Miss Sun from Shangguan family help him?

No wonder he couldn't understand.

If Gu Wuyou is a poor relative of the Shangguan family, this kind of thing is not unavailable. The problem is that everyone is asking for the Shangguan family, and it is not OK to change his decent clothes? Look at this shabby robe, with patches, what about it?

Gu Wuyou waved his hand to Shangguan Yi.

He doesn't want to accept Shangguan Yi's help. It's not just a matter of self-esteem. What should I do if I help you out with your relationship? He also wants to save the old Taoist and watch the football.

What Gu Wuyou didn't understand was that Shangguan Yi took the initiative to ask for help, and this was the abacus.

"I asked, is it right to register for a basic test?" Gu Wuyou looked at the other party sincerely, "You are willing to give her a chance, why don't you give me one? It doesn't take much trouble."

Middle-aged man: "It is destined to be futile, so why do you force it?"

Gu Wuyou: "At least, let me try it. I'm sorry to give up. I'll be happy to pick up soap in the future..."

"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded, and he still had to give him face, "Your name, age, and origin."

"Gu Wuyou, 19 years old, Sanjiang County, Mizhou."

The middle-aged man nodded secretly, and indeed had a connection with the Shangguan family. The ancestral home of the adult is Sanjiang County, Mizhou.

After recording Gu Wuyou, he looked at Lu Xuan again: "Where are you?"

Lu Xuan pointed to his nose: "Me?"

"I have given him a chance, so I can't help but give it to you. I suggest you give it a try. I am still a little confident in my own vision, and you should have a good foundation."

Lu Xuan never thought that she might be a monk.

In theory, time travelers are the protagonists, and Lu Xuan thinks so too.

The problem is that she has a second uncle who practices Taoism.

Talent is a hard indicator of Taoism, and you cannot compromise at all. When Lu Xuan was very young, his second uncle helped her test, but the result was naturally unqualified. Otherwise... well, she still won't be a Taoist priest, because her father would definitely not agree.

Uncle II has been practicing for most of his life, is he very happy?

It was because of his connections in the Taoist circle that helped my father develop business well so that Lu Xuan could live in a villa and buy a spaceship with his father's credit card.

Lifespan is no different from that of normal people, and they live to be around 100 years old.

There are many birthday stars in the 100-year-olds on Earth today, and many people do not practice at all, and they should eat and drink. Scientists have said that life span has a lot to do with genes, and as long as they are not too promiscuous, there is no big problem.

"Forget it, I probably can't." Lu Xuan shook his head.

Middle-aged man: "You might as well give it a try."

His mentality is easy to understand. For Shangguan Yi's face, it was equivalent to opening a back door for Gu Wuyou. He felt a little guilty, so he simply encircled Lu Xuan, which would make an exception for cherishing talents.
To be continued...
