Bu Tian Gang

After much deliberation, there was no result, so Winter Solstice had to send a message to Zhong Yuyi: Old Zhong, do you know what hobbies Dragon Bureau has?

Zhong Yuyi quickly replied: Eliminate demons.

Dong Zhixin said that I can't catch a demon and let him get rid of it, right?

He asked again: Besides this?For example, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?Mountain climbing and sword dancing?Square dancing?

Zhong Yuyi seemed to be in deep thought, and after a long time, he sent a message: Let's cook.

? ? ?A man who is as cold as a flower actually likes to cook?It's an incredible contrast.

The winter solstice hurriedly asked: Are you sure?

Zhong Yuyi: Probably, when we were at the old site, no one was willing to deliver food, and the cafeteria happened to be on holiday again, so no one in our group cooked, and the boss did the cooking himself a few times.

During the winter solstice, thinking about the busy figure of Long Shen wearing an apron standing in front of the stove, he felt a bit cute in contrast.

He asked Zhong Yuyi: That must be delicious, right?

Zhong Yuyi said honestly: It's hard to eat.

Winter Solstice: ...other than that, does he have any other hobbies?

Zhong Yuyi: Probably not.

It seems that Zhong Yu and Long Shen don't really know each other very well, but then again, except for someone with a malicious heart like him, who would go deep into understanding his immediate boss?

Winter Solstice originally wanted to give Long Shen an antique sword, as a way to express his gratitude and to match what he liked, but who knew the price of those swords, even if he sold himself, he wouldn't be able to afford it.

He scratched his head, exhaled in distress, and typed a line on the forum for help: How to pursue a man?

After thinking about it, I deleted it and changed it to: How to pursue a man who is strong in all aspects?

The popularity of this forum is good, and there are more than a dozen replies in just a few minutes.

Some people say: You have to confess bravely, maybe people have been interested in you for a long time, this is called two-way crush!

This is impossible, just skip the winter solstice and see the next article.

Some people asked him to prescribe drugs, and the overlord forced himself to bow, but this was also skipped.

Some people replied, let him test the meaning of the other party first, and then wait for the opportunity to act.

Well, this is not bad, it is just as he thought, and it is true that it is plain and plain.

Among the dozen or so replies, very few were reliable, and most of them were hype. The winter solstice was so dazzled that I couldn't laugh or cry, so I simply turned off the computer and went straight to the appointment.

Near seven o'clock, he arrived at the tea house in the forest.

The private room was booked in advance, and he reported the private room number to Long Shen early in the morning, but when he went in, he found that the other party had already arrived, and there was another person beside him.

The enemy's road is narrow Liu Qingbo.

Winter Solstice was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Liu Qingbo smiled and said, "I bumped into Dragon Bureau just after the meeting, and I have a lot of questions to ask Dragon Bureau, do you mind if I come with you? I'll invite you another day." Have a meal."

In front of Long Shen, how could Dong Zhi say he minded?I had no choice but to pretend to be generous, and said with a smile: "I don't mind, since we're here, let's eat together. Do you have any taboos?"

Long Shen shook his head: "You can do whatever you want."

Liu Qingbo followed: "I'm free too."

In Dongzhi's mind, the image of twisting Liu Qingbo into a twist, then rolling it up, stuffing it into a sack and stepping it into a meatloaf had already appeared in Dongzhi's mind, and he conveniently placed the succulent plant in front of Longshen.

"I don't know what to give you. You will definitely not accept the expensive ones. I remember that you also have potted plants in your office. Just now, I saw this small potted plant on the road. It is very beautiful, so I bought it. The shopkeeper said it is called Yulu, and the name is also nice."

Glancing out of the corner of his eyes, Liu Qingbo seemed to raise the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was a little disdainful, and pretended not to see the winter solstice.

Long Shen said: "Thank you."

Seeing that he didn't refuse, Dong Zhi felt very happy, picked up the menu and ordered some dishes, and asked the waiter to come in and place the order.

That Liu Qingbo has already chatted with Long Shen, his family has a long history, and most of the topics of conversation are the combined use of Gu and sword skills, and there is no lack of insider talk, such as snake Gu, bee Gu, cowhide Gu, money Gu, lovesickness Gu, mother Gu, Long Shen let Liu Qingbo go on and on, occasionally adding a sentence or two.

Winter Solstice didn't quite understand it, but judging from Liu Qingbo's admiring expression, Long Shen's few words were right to the point, which greatly inspired Liu Qingbo.

He didn't interrupt, and just listened silently, until the waiter came in with the dishes, and said: "Senior Brother Liu, the Dragon Bureau has been in frequent meetings these days, so he must be very tired, let him have a rest, and you can chat after eating. "

Liu Qingbo looked at him for a long time, then smiled brightly: "I was negligent, Ju Long, I'm really sorry, let's have dinner first."

After a few chopsticks of food and three rounds of wine, it is inevitable to start chatting again.

Winter Solstice couldn't get into their topic, and didn't intend to continue, so we started a more relaxed chat. Speaking of the last time they went to sing, they saw Chaosheng often out of tune, and became interested. Winter Solstice also learned to watch Chaosheng's accent , lifelike.

Although Long Shen didn't talk much, it could be seen that he did gradually relax, and the corners of his brows and eyes felt a little bit more comfortable. Dongzhi thought of He Yu complaining about the all-night meeting. As the deputy director, Long Shen's shoulders would only increase. More, not less, I can't help feeling a little distressed.

Liu Qingbo suddenly said: "Junior Brother Dong, I heard that you joined the cultivation world not long ago, and you can take the exam so soon, you must have profound family education, right?"

Winter Solstice said: "My parents are ordinary people, they have passed away."

Liu Qingbo showed surprise: "So, you must be very talented? I wonder how you got in the written test?"

Winter Solstice was stunned: "It's, it's okay."

Seeing this, Liu Qingbo became more and more sure that the winter solstice test was not very good this time, and chased after the victory: "It doesn't matter, I heard that many people have to take the test several times before passing the test. This time it doesn't work, so I will come again next year, but it's a pity. The opportunity to be an apprentice to the Dragon Bureau does not come every year."

Winter Solstice smiled shyly.

Long Shen suddenly said: "How many exams have you taken?"

He was obviously too busy and didn't take the initiative to pay attention to the announcement of the results like He Yu did. Anyway, someone would send the report card to him later.

Winter Solstice said modestly: "This time I didn't play very well, only 157 points."

Liu Qingbo: ...

He scored 130 points in the test. He originally thought that this score was good. He wanted to ridicule Dongzhi and quench the other party's desire to worship Long Shen as his teacher. Who knew that the other party dropped a nuclear bomb.

In the end, this guy pretended to be addicted: "But I think Senior Brother Liu is right. There are people beyond people, there is a sky beyond the sky, and there is no end to learning. Although my written test scores are passable, the interview still requires hard work."

Winter Solstice spoke with incomparable sincerity, and with a harmless face, no one would think he was showing off.

Liu Qingbo was so angry that his teeth itched.

However, Long Shen liked this very much. Hearing this, he hummed and showed his approval.

Seeing Liu Qingbo's expression of eating a fly, Winter Solstice couldn't help feeling refreshed.

A villain in his heart was smiling wickedly with his arms akimbo, and another villain said: Dongzhi, you scheming man!

Liu Qingbo asked again: "Longju, will you be the interviewer for this year's interview?"

The winter solstice pricked up its ears.

Long Shen was noncommittal: "Is this important?"

Liu Qingbo smiled and said, "Seeing you, no matter how nervous I am, I can calm down."

Winter Solstice: Flatterer!

Long Shen: "As long as you are fully prepared, it doesn't matter who is the interviewer. Moreover, there will not be only one interviewer."

Liu Qingbo nodded: "You are right, but I heard that the interview elimination rate is quite high. Last year, no one was shortlisted. I wonder if it will be relaxed this year?"

Long Shen said: "The standard has always been there. As long as you can pass the standard, you can be shortlisted, but even if you pass the interview, you don't have to be too happy. After that, there will be training and exams, and there will also be an elimination rate."

Saying is tantamount to not saying, Liu Qingbo didn't expect to ask anything from him, anyway, his goal is to worship Longshen as his teacher, no matter what to talk about now, the most important thing is to build a good relationship first, and always be in front of the expert Get a sense of presence.

After a meal, Long Shen still had something to do, so he took a step ahead, leaving Dong Zhi and Liu Qingbo behind, looking at each other with a smile on their faces.

Liu Qingbo spoke first: "Fellow Daoist is very good, you actually scored 157 points in the test, probably the first in the written test, right?"

He was still Junior Brother Dong in front of Long Shen just now, but now he has become a fellow Taoist.

Winter Solstice smiled innocently: "I just got a higher score in the written test, so I'm definitely not as good as Senior Brother Liu in the interview."

Liu Qingbo snorted angrily, thinking that you kid can pretend to be a wolf with a big tail, so just come here without making a sound.

"It doesn't matter. I'll be free some other day. Let's discuss and learn from each other. I have to ask you for advice." He still had a graceful face, and he reached out to pat the other person's shoulder, but Dong Zhi got up and avoided it by paying the bill.

"Okay, Brother Liu also said that he would invite me to dinner another day, don't forget!" Dong Zhi said with a smile, and left first after paying the bill.

He was not interested in staying and saying some polite words to the other party.

Moreover, Dong Zhi always remembered that the other party's mother was a descendant of Miao Nu and could make Gu poison. The conversation between Liu Qingbo and Long Shen just now proved this point.He Yu told him that the way of Gu seems to be unnoticed, but in fact there are secret channels of transmission, such as physical contact, such as placing Gu in food, or through a certain thing on the opponent's body. To practice the method, in short, there must be a medium.

After what happened to Xu Wan, Winter Solstice has gained a lot of wisdom. He still has no defense against his friends, but he dare not be careless against strangers like Liu Qingbo, who can even be called opponents, and try to avoid attacking them opportunity, even if it is unfounded worry.

If He Yu was here, he would definitely say with great comfort that Baby Dongdong is getting more and more vigilant.

Dong Zhi returned to the dormitory, was fumbling for the key in his pocket, and was about to open the door, when he saw the door opposite his dormitory opened.

Long Shen stood at the door and waved to him.

"You come in."

From the day Dongzhi moved in, he knew that Longshen lived across the door, but the other party was busy every day, and there was a house in the urban area, so he rarely lived here.

but……?

The winter solstice was stunned for a moment, thinking it was progressing so fast?I haven't confessed my confession yet, so this has developed into going home?

But he soon realized that he was thinking too much, Long Shen let him in, pointed to the jade dew he had just given on the table and said, "How do I raise this?"

Winter Solstice hurriedly said: "Basically, you don't need to water it much. It is afraid of heat and tide, so just put it in a place where the sun does not shine."

Then again, succulents have always been delicate, and ordinary people may not be able to raise them well if they take care of them every day. What's more, Long Shen is so busy that he probably doesn't have time to take care of them. If they die, wouldn't this be a great gift? Auspicious, does it mean that his love was stillborn before it even sprouted?

Bah, bah, bah, childish words!

Putting aside the messy thoughts, Winter Solstice said embarrassedly: "Actually, I didn't think too much about it when I gave it away. I just think this pot of jade dew is crystal clear and very beautiful. Maybe you will feel better if you take a look at it when you are working. If you can't support it, I'll give you another pot, it's not expensive anyway."

Long smiled deeply: "No need. Just do what you want, don't give me anything else."

Maybe it was that smile that bewitched him, and the winter solstice god sent a ghost to ask: "Long Ju, do you usually have any hobbies?"

Long Shen shook his head: "No."

Winter Solstice made persistent efforts: "Is there anything you like? Collecting antique swords and the like?"

Long Shen raised his eyebrows: "Why do you ask this?"

I was at a loss for words during the winter solstice, so I couldn't answer.

Long Shen patted him on the shoulder: "Prepare well for the interview, don't think about what you have."

Then let him go back.

Winter Solstice looked at the closed door, realized it belatedly, and wished he could step up to the door and shout: You misunderstood!I'm not trying to bribe you, I'm trying to fuck you!

……

From the written test to the interview, there is not much time left for candidates to prepare. Once the results are announced, the interview day will be a few days later. The test room is the same as that day, but because of the interview, only [-] people are shortlisted, and the three classrooms are naturally reduced to one. , The order of interviews is arranged randomly. Those who are called will go in for the exam, and the others will wait outside.

Winter Solstice took a walk outside, and unexpectedly saw old acquaintances Basang and Gu Meiren, so they happily went over to say hello.

Basang and the others were naturally very happy to see the winter solstice. Although they were competitors, they were more likely to become colleagues in the future. Even Gu Meiren's indifferent face showed a hint of joy.

"What nonsense? Haven't you come yet?" Several people got together during the written test, and they naturally asked when they couldn't see anyone during the winter solstice.

Basang said: "He sent a message, saying that he failed the written test and had to come back next year."

Although it was expected, it was somewhat regrettable.

Winter Solstice took advantage of the situation and asked them for each other's contact information, and added each other as friends.

The three of them originally met by chance, and they didn't have much friendship, but after a written test, they got together among 30 people, and they couldn't help feeling sympathetic to each other, and felt that the distance was much closer for a while.

Dong Zhi also spotted Liu Qingbo, but he quickly looked away, not interested in going up to say hello.

Basang said: "I heard that the interview questions over the years are very tricky. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to answer them."

After getting acquainted with them, Gu Meiren talked more: "And everyone's questions seem to be different. The examiner asks random questions, unlike the written test that can be reviewed in a targeted manner."

Hearing this, Dong Zhi couldn't help laughing when he thought of the interesting interview stories that He Yu had told him in previous years.

Basang didn't understand, so he said, "What are you laughing at?"

Winter Solstice told them that interesting story: "It seems that at some point in the year before last, a koi spirit who had finally cultivated into an adult came to take the exam, and even entered the interview process. An interviewer said that the spirit is a strange adult, and it is not easy to practice. , You need to accumulate merits and deeds and work hard. Do you still cultivate merits after you become an adult? The koi spirit said yes, then took out the mobile phone, clicked on the social software, and forwarded the koi on it to Weibo with good luck. Search it out and show it to the examiner, saying that this is his contribution to the world."

Basang laughed out loud, attracting attention from all parties. He quickly lowered his voice, shaking his shoulders and said, "And then?"

Although Gu Meiren's smile was not that low, she couldn't help showing an amused expression.

Winter Solstice: "Then he was scolded bloody by the examiner, but I heard that he performed well in other aspects, so he was admitted later."

Basang scratched his head: "I hope that when the time comes, don't ask me why I can communicate with the eagle. I really can't answer it."

While talking, the people in front went in one by one. Winter Solstice secretly noticed that everyone stayed inside for about 15 minutes, some longer and some shorter. According to this speed, it will be their turn soon.

When everyone went in, they either pretended to be calm, or couldn't hide their nervousness. When they came out, they also had different expressions, some relaxed, some joyful, and naturally some mournful.

It took Liu Qingbo more than 20 minutes to come out after entering, and he was the one who stayed in it for the longest time among the previous candidates.

But after he came out, he acted as if nothing had happened, with a smile on his mouth, looking relaxed and calm. Seeing this, Winter Solstice also forced himself to calm down.

The highest score in the written test, no matter what, you can't perform too badly in the interview.

"Number 12, the winter solstice!"

The horn sounded, and Dong Zhi hurriedly got up and walked into the classroom.

The ranking of the written test has not been announced, but it is estimated that some people have already found out that he is No.1, and he has received a lot of attention in just a short journey.

The moment I stepped into the classroom, the movement outside seemed to be cut off all of a sudden. Dongzhi guessed that this place might be like a rooftop, with enchantments around it.

The classroom was empty, and there were only six examiners sitting on one side. One of them had white hair and a childlike face, and he looked like a big boss at first glance. There was also a middle-aged lady, who was elegant and well-maintained. More than 30, like forty or fifty.

Dong Zhi immediately saw Long Shen sitting among them, and Wu Bingtian, another deputy director beside him.

Since the two deputy directors are here, there must be another deputy director, Song Zhicun, among the examiners.

But the remaining two men have never seen each other, Dongzhi doesn't know who Song Zhicun is.

Long Shen raised his head and glanced at Dong Zhi, his expression didn't fluctuate, and it was impossible to show any hints to him.

But seeing the other party, Winter Solstice, who was still a little nervous, was completely relaxed.

He bowed first, and introduced himself like most interviewers: "Hello examiner, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to interview me. My name is Dongzhi, and I am a registered disciple of the late elder Fang Yang of the Hezao sect."

"But I heard that it's only been more than two months since you joined the Hezao School, maybe less than two months?" Wu Bingtian asked.

Winter Solstice realized that there might be some language trap in this, and answered more cautiously: "Yes, although I have not been in the practice world for a long time, my enthusiasm for the Special Administrative Bureau is no less than that of other candidates."

Long Shen couldn't help but a smile flashed in his eyes when he heard him sing loudly.

"Well, tell me the difference between a century-old zombie and a thousand-year zombie." Another man said casually.

Winter Solstice heard from Chao Sheng that among the three deputy chiefs, Song Zhicun was the most ugly, and his voice was extremely rough. As soon as this person spoke, he guessed that the other party was probably Song Zhicun.

After hearing the question, Winter Solstice was even more overjoyed, because he had really read this question!

When he came out of the written test last time, he heard other candidates complaining about the difficulty of the test questions, and mentioned the century-old zombies.

He talked eloquently, and said what he remembered, and finally said politely: "I have collected these contents from various sources, because I have never seen them with my own eyes, so they may not be correct. Please correct me, all examiners." .”

Song Zhicun nodded, neither saying yes nor no, looking at the others, expressing that he had nothing to ask.

A middle-aged man whom Winter Solstice didn't know asked: "If a cute child you may still know is held hostage by a demon, and his body may even be corroded, what would you do?"

Long Shen suddenly said: "This is the bureau's consultant, Li Rui, Daoist Li."

Winter Solstice hurriedly said: "Hi Daoist Li, I should try to save that child first!"

Li Rui frowned slightly: "You are only one person, and pay attention to my question, he may have been corrupted by demons."

His inclination was already coming out, but Dong Zhi thought about it, and still said: "But he is very likely to be safe and sound. I will weigh it according to the situation at the time. If I can rescue him, I will give it a try. If it is not possible , and then take the next step.”

Li Rui said coldly: "Cultivators must know how to judge the situation. Cutting grass and roots is not the worst policy, but the best policy. If you are so soft-hearted, you will only mislead others and yourself."

Winter Solstice tried to make his voice sound more sincere: "Li Daochang misunderstood, I didn't say you can't kill the grass, but try to save people first before destroying the enemy. In my cognition, the Special Administration Bureau actually has another meaning." It is the duty of the doctors and policemen in the world to help the poor, punish the evil and promote the good. Isn’t our original intention of joining the Special Administration Bureau just to make this world more peaceful? If the children had been corrupted by demons at that time, There is no way to recover, so that more innocent people will not be implicated, I will definitely not hesitate."

Li Rui shook his head: "The Special Administration Bureau is different from the police. Of course, the police must try their best to protect the hostages, but the kidnappers can only hurt the hostages at most, but the demons can do harm to the world. How do you know? By the time you are sure that you need to use a bad strategy, it is too late." Is it too late? Is it because of your own conscience that you have to take the risk of letting demons poison more souls?"

Winter Solstice asked: "What does Li Daochang mean, even if there is a 90.00% chance of the hostage being rescued, do you want to do it?"

Li Rui: "Even if there is a 90.00% possibility, we should do it! Compared with tens of millions of human lives, what is one life worth?"

Dong Zhi said again: "Then what if the hostage is not a child, but a doctor who has saved countless lives and may save more in the future?"

The others didn't seem to expect that he, who seemed harmless, would have such a sharp argument with Li Rui.

Long Shen originally wanted to cut off the topic, but he dismissed the idea as soon as he thought about it.

Li Rui's face was completely cold: "Now you are interviewing, not me!"

Winter Solstice sighed, bowed, and said respectfully, "Daoist Li, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. One life, or 100 lives, which is more important? This itself is a topic of controversy through the ages. You were right in your criticism. I have just become a practitioner, and it is true that I am not quite used to such an identity, but I am sorry that I cannot give an accurate answer to your question, because the situation is always changing when things come to an end, I can only say, with compassion, Using thunderous means is what people of my generation should do."

The well-mannered female examiner clapped her hands, and the applause was still clear in the empty classroom.

clap clap clap!

"This sentence is very well said, enough to become the motto of everyone here." The lady smiled.

With her words, Li Rui's expression was still a little bitter, but it was not easy to have another attack.

Dong Zhi immediately realized that the lady must be a bigger boss than Li Rui.

"Thank you!" He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing how to address him.

Long Shen seemed to see his hesitation, and said in a timely manner: "This is the elder Zong Ling, and also a consultant in the bureau."

To be called Zong Lao, the other party's age is definitely not as young as she looks. After all, even Li Rui, who looks older than her, Long Shen didn't add the word "old" just now.

The winter solstice is as good as it sounds: "Thank you, Zong Lao!"

Zong Ling smiled and nodded towards him.

Long Shen said: "Since you are from Chuanlu, let's draw a picture of the talisman you are best at."

There was a ready-made yellow paper and cinnabar ready-made next to it. With a promise from Dongzhi, he walked to the table, held his breath, and drew a bright light talisman that he had practiced for a long time.

He didn't choose the Thunder Talisman because it was more difficult to draw the Thunder Talisman and the success rate was lower. He had already argued with the examiner just now, so he should be more cautious next time.

The runes are completed in one go, which is not bad. If you play on the spot and you must succeed at one time, you can give yourself a score of 85 from the perspective of the winter solstice. Of course, the requirements and standards of the bosses will be stricter. The old man with silver hair and childlike face will comment Said: "Barely qualified."

Well, barely qualifying is also qualifying.

Winter Solstice couldn't help looking at Longshen, who just happened to look up, and the two looked at each other, and the latter smiled slightly.

There are almost no smile marks, but the winter solstice has seen it.

He was still a little nervous because of the debate just now, but now he has completely relaxed.

The original trace of regret disappeared without a trace, and Dong Zhi vaguely felt that if he had just finished his answer in a calm manner, he might not have won Long Shen's glance, nor might he have been praised by the elder Zong.

Even if you can't pass this time, but you can get this reaction from the male god, you will die without regret, right?

Ah bah bah, you can't die, you haven't had sex yet, and you can't die with peace of mind!
