After much deliberation, there was no result, so the Winter Solstice had to send a message to ask Zhong Yuyi: Old Zhong, do you know what hobbies the Dragon Bureau has
Zhong Yuyi quickly replied: Eliminate demons.
The winter solstice said in my heart that I can't catch a demon and let him get rid of it, right
He asked again: What about other than this? For example, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Mountain climbing and sword dancing? Square dancing
Zhong Yuyi seemed to be in deep contemplation. After a long time, he sent a message: Let's cook.
? ? A male god like a flower of high cold actually likes to cook? It's an incredible contrast.
Winter Solstice: Are you sure
Zhong Yuyi: It should be. When it was still at the old site, no one was willing to deliver food. The cafeteria happened to be on holiday again. No one in our group was cooking, so the boss personally cooked a few times.
In the winter solstice, I thought of Long Shen wearing an apron and standing in front of the stove, and he felt a little contrasting and cute.
He asked Zhong Yuyi: That must be delicious, right
Zhong Yuyi said honestly: It's hard to eat.
Solstice: … Besides, does he have any hobbies
Zhong Yuyi: Probably not.
It seems that Zhong Yu and Long Shen don't know each other very well, but then again, except for a wicked person like him, who would get to know his immediate boss in depth
The Winter Solstice originally wanted to give Long Shen an antique sword, which could express his gratitude and do what he liked. Who would have guessed the price of those swords, even if he sold it himself, he couldn't afford it.
He scratched his head, sighed 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 forum is very popular, and there are more than a dozen replies in just a few minutes.
Some people say: You have to be brave to confess, maybe people have already been interested in you, this is called two-way secret love!
This is impossible, skip the winter solstice and see the next one.
Some people asked him to prescribe medicine, and the overlord forced his bow, and this one also skipped.
Some people reply, let him test the meaning of the other party first, and then wait for the opportunity.
Well, this is not bad, just like what he thought, it is true that it is plain.
Among the dozen or so replies, very few are reliable, most of them are just hype.
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 saw that the other party had already arrived, and there were more people beside him.
The enemy's road is narrow, Liu Qingbo.
Dongzhi was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Liu Qingbo smiled and said, "I bumped into the Dragon Bureau as soon as I came out of the meeting. I have a lot of questions to ask the Dragon Bureau. Would you mind me coming along? I'll invite you another day, too. Have a meal."
In front of Long Shen, how could the Winter Solstice say that he would mind? I had to pretend to be generous and smiled, "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 the winter solstice, the image of himself twisting Liu Qingbo into a twist, then rolling it up and stuffing it into a sack and stepping on it into a meat pie, he put the succulent plant on his hand in front of Long Shen.
"I don't know what to give you. You definitely won't accept the valuable ones. I remember that you also have potted plants in your office. I saw that this pot of small things was very beautiful on the road just now, so I bought it. The shop owner said it was called Yulu, and the name is also nice."
Glancing out of the corner of his eyes, Liu Qingbo seemed to have a slightly raised corner of his mouth, as if he was a little disdainful.
Long Shen said, "Thank you."
Seeing that he did not refuse, the winter solstice was very happy, picked up the menu and ordered some dishes, and asked the waiter to come in and place the order.
That Liu Qingbo had already chatted with Long Shen, his family background, and most of the topics discussed were the combined use of Gu and swordsmanship. Among them, there were many insiders, such as snake, bee, cowhide, money, lovesickness, son and mother, Long Shen let Liu Qingbo speak incessantly, occasionally inserting a sentence or two.
The Winter Solstice didn't quite understand it, but from the look of Liu Qingbo's admiration, Long Shen's few words could get to the point, giving Liu Qingbo a great inspiration.
He didn't interrupt either, and just listened silently, until the waiter came in with the dishes, and said, "Senior Brother Liu, the Dragon Bureau has been holding meetings a lot these days, so he must be very tired, please let him rest and talk after you finish eating. "
Liu Qingbo looked at him for a while, then smiled brightly: "I was negligent, Long Ju, I'm really sorry, let's have dinner first."
After a few chopsticks of dishes and three rounds of wine, it is inevitable to start chatting a few times.
The winter solstice couldn't get into their topic, and I didn't plan to continue, so they talked a little more relaxedly. When they went to sing last time, watching the tide students often got out of tune, and their interest came up. The winter solstice also learned the tone of watching the tide students. , vividly.
Although Long Shen didn't speak much, it could be seen that he did gradually relax, and the corners of his brows and eyes became a little more comfortable. The winter solstice thought of He Yu complaining about the all-night meeting. As the deputy director, Long Shen's responsibilities would only increase. More, not less, can not help but feel a little distressed.
Liu Qingbo suddenly said: "Junior Brother Dong, I heard that you only joined the cultivation world not long ago. You can take the exam so soon. You must have a strong family background, right?"
Winter Solstice said: "My parents are ordinary people, they have passed away."
Liu Qingbo was surprised: "So, you must be very talented? I wonder how your results in the written test are?"
Winter Solstice was stunned for a moment: "Alright, alright."
Seeing this, Liu Qingbo became more and more certain that the winter solstice test was not good, and he pursued his victory: "It doesn't matter, I heard that many people have to take the test several times before they pass the test. This time they can't, so I'll come back next year, but it's a pity, I can. The opportunity to be an apprentice to the Dragon Bureau doesn't come every year."
Winter Solstice smiled shyly.
Long Shen suddenly said, "How many exams did you take?"
He was obviously too busy and didn't take the initiative to pay attention to the announcement of the results like He Yu did. No matter what, someone would always send the transcript to him.
Dongzhi said modestly: "This time I didn't play very well, only 157 points."
Liu Qingbo: …
He scored 130 points in the test. He thought it was a good result. He wanted to ridicule the winter solstice and drown the opponent's desire to worship Longshen as a teacher. Who knew that the opponent would come with a nuclear bomb.
In the end, this guy pretended to be addicted: "But I think Brother Liu is right. There are people outside people, there are days outside the world, and there is no end to learning. Although my written test scores are passable, the interview still requires hard work."
The winter solstice was extremely sincere, and with a harmless face to humans and animals, no one would think he was showing off.
Liu Qingbo was so angry that his teeth were itching.
However, Long Shen liked this very much. Hearing that, he hummed with approval.
Seeing Liu Qingbo's expression of eating flies, the winter solstice couldn't help but feel relieved.
Inside, a villain was akimbo smirking, and another villain said: Winter Solstice, you scheming man!
Liu Qingbo asked again: "Dragon Bureau, will you be the interviewer in this year's interview?"
The winter solstice pricks up the 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 well prepared, the interviewer is the same. 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. No one was shortlisted last year. I wonder if it will be appropriately 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. Afterwards, there will be training exams, and there will also be a elimination rate."
Saying it means not saying it. Liu Qingbo doesn't expect to ask anything from him. Anyway, his goal is to worship Longshen as a teacher. No matter what we are talking about now, the most important thing is to build a good relationship first and always be in front of the masters. Brush a wave of presence.
After the meal was over, Long Shen still had something to do, so he took a step forward, leaving the Winter Solstice and Liu Qingbo behind, looking at each other, smiling but not smiling.
Liu Qingbo spoke first: "Fellow Daoist is very good. You actually scored 157 points in the test. It is estimated that you are the first in the written test, right?"
Just now in front of Long Shen, he was Junior Brother Dong, but now he has become a Daoist friend.
Winter Solstice smiled innocently: "I just scored higher in the written test, and the interview is definitely not as good as Senior Brother Liu's."
Liu Qingbo hummed angrily, thinking that you are quite capable of pretending to be a wolf with big tails, so come here quietly.
"It doesn't matter, another day is free. Let's discuss and learn from each other again. I have to ask you for advice." He was still very graceful.
"Okay, Senior Brother Liu also said that he would invite me to dinner the other day, but don't forget!" Dongzhi said with a smile, and left first after paying the order.
He had no interest in staying and talking to the other party in a polite way.
And the winter solstice always remembers that the other party's mother is a descendant of the Miao girl, which will poison the poison. The conversation between Liu Qingbo and Long Shen just now also proved this. He Yu told him that the way of Gu, which seems to be unknowing, actually has hidden channels of transmission, such as physical contact, such as putting Gu in food, or through something on the opponent's body. To do this, in short, there must be a medium.
After what happened to Xu Wan, the winter solstice has already gained a lot of wisdom. He still has no defense against his friends, but he doesn't dare to be careless about a stranger like Liu Qingbo, even someone who can be called an opponent, and try to avoid attacking the other party as much as possible. opportunity, even if it is unfounded.
If He Yu was here, he would definitely say with great comfort that Little Baby Dongdong was becoming more and more alert.
When he returned to the dormitory on the winter solstice, he was looking for the key from his pocket to open the door when he saw the door opposite his dormitory open.
Long Shen stood at the door and waved at him.
"You come in."
From the day of the winter solstice, I knew that the opposite door lived in Longshen, but the other party was busy with daily life, and there were houses in the urban area, so the number of times they lived here was very small.
but…
The winter solstice was stunned for a while, thinking that the progress was so fast? I haven't confessed yet, this has developed into going home
However, he soon realized that he thought too much, Long Shen let him in, pointed to the Yulu he had just given on the table and said, "How do I raise this?"
The winter solstice hurriedly said: "Basically, there is no need to water it. It is afraid of heat and tide. It is good to put it in a place where the sun can't shine."
Then again, succulents have always been delicate, and ordinary people may not be able to 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. In case of death, wouldn't this gift be a great gift? Geely, does it mean that his love was stillborn before it began to sprout
Bah Bah Bah, childish words have no taboo!
The winter solstice put aside the messy thoughts, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I didn't think much about it when I sent it, I just thought that this pot of jade dew is crystal clear and very beautiful. Maybe you can take a look at it when you are working, and your mood will be much better. If you can't feed it, I'll give you another pot, it's not expensive anyway."
Long Shen smiled and said, "No need. It's fine as long as you're in the mood. Don't give anything more."
Maybe it was the smile that bewitched him, and the ghost messenger of the winter solstice asked, "Long Ju, do you usually have any hobbies?"
Long Shen shook his head: "No."
Winter Solstice made persistent efforts: "Is there something you like? Collecting antique swords and the like?"
Long Shen raised his eyebrows: "Why do you ask this?"
During the winter solstice, I was at a loss for words and could not answer.
Long Shen patted him on the shoulder: "Prepare well for the interview, don't think about it."
Then let him go back.
Looking at the closed door on the winter solstice, I realized it with hindsight, and I can't wait to step forward to slam the door and shout: You have misunderstood! I'm not trying to bribe you, I'm trying to soak you up!
…
From the written test to the interview, there is not much time left for candidates to prepare. Once the results are announced, the day of the interview will arrive in a few days. The test room is the same as that day, but because only 30 people are shortlisted for the interview, the three classrooms are naturally reduced to one , the interview sequence is randomly arranged, the one who gets the number will go in for the test, and the others will wait outside.
During the winter solstice walk outside, I saw old acquaintances Ba Sang and Gu Meiren, and they happily went over to say hello.
Ba Sang and the others were naturally happy to see the Winter Solstice. Although they were competitors, they were more likely to become future colleagues. Even Gu Meiren's indifferent face showed a hint of joy.
"What nonsense? Haven't you come yet?" During the written test, a few people gathered together, and they would naturally ask if they couldn't see anyone during the winter solstice.
Basang said: "He sent a message and said that he did not pass the written test and can only come back next year."
Although it was expected, it was a little regrettable.
Winter Solstice took advantage of the situation and asked them to contact each other and add friends to each other.
The three of them originally met by chance, and they didn't have much friendship, but after a written test, they passed the test and met among the 30 people.
The winter solstice also found Liu Qingbo's figure, but he quickly looked away, not interested in going up to say hello.
Basang said: "I heard that the interview questions over the years have been very tricky. I'm really afraid that I can't answer them."
After getting acquainted with them, Gu Meiren said more: "And everyone's questions seem to be different. The examiner asks questions randomly, unlike the written test, which can be reviewed in a targeted manner."
Hearing this, Dongzhi couldn't help but be amused when he remembered the interesting interview story He Yu told him in previous years.
Basang didn't know why: "What are you laughing at?"
The winter solstice told them the interesting story: "It seems that sometime the year before last, there was a koi spirit who had finally cultivated into adulthood to take the test, and it was also in the interview stage. An interviewer said that spirits are strange adults, and cultivation is not easy , and even more merits and deeds, hard work, do you still cultivate merits when you are an adult? The koi spirit said yes, then took out his mobile phone, clicked on the social software, and forwarded the koi above to Weibo with good luck. Search it out and show it to the examiner, saying that this is his contribution to the world."
Basang burst into laughter, attracting glances from all sides. He quickly lowered his voice, shaking his shoulders and said, "Then what?"
Although Gu Meiren's smile was not that low, she couldn't help but show a funny expression.
The winter solstice spread his hands: "Then he was scolded 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 time, but don't ask me why I can communicate with the eagle, I really can't answer."
While talking, the people in front of them went in one by one, paying attention to the winter solstice, and found that everyone stayed there for about fifteen minutes, some longer, some shorter. At this rate, it will be their turn soon. .
When everyone went in, they pretended to be calm, or they couldn't hide their nervousness. When they came out, they had different expressions. Some were relaxed, some were happy, and some were crying. It was obvious at a glance how they behaved inside.
Liu Qingbo didn't come out until more than 20 minutes after he entered. He was the one who stayed in the room for the longest time among the previous candidates so far.
But after he came out, as if nothing had happened, the corner of his mouth was still smiling, and he seemed relaxed and calm. Seeing the winter solstice, he also forced himself to calm down.
The highest score in the written test can't be too bad in the interview.
"The twelfth, the winter solstice!"
The horn sounded, and the winter solstice hurriedly got up and walked to the classroom.
The ranking of the written test has not been announced, but it is estimated that some people have already inquired that he is the first place, and he has received a lot of attention along the way.
The moment he stepped into the classroom, the movement outside seemed to be isolated all of a sudden. The Winter Solstice guessed that it might be the same as the rooftop, and there were enchantments around it.
The classroom was empty, and there were only six examiners sitting on one side. One of them had a childlike appearance, and he looked like a big boss. There was also a middle-aged lady, who was elegant and well-maintained. Thirty is like forty or fifty.
At the winter solstice, he saw Long Shen sitting in it, and Wu Bingtian, another deputy director next to 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 met, and the Winter Solstice does not know who Song Zhicun is.
Long Shen raised his head and glanced at the winter solstice, with no expression fluctuations, let alone any hints to him.
But seeing the other party, the originally nervous mood of the Winter Solstice was completely relaxed.
He bowed first, and introduced himself like most of the interviewers: "Hello, examiner, everyone took the time to interview me. My name is Dongzhi, and I am a named disciple of the late Hezao Sect elder Fang Yang."
"But I heard that it's only been over two months since you joined the Hezao faction, maybe less than two months?" Wu Bingtian asked.
Winter Solstice noticed that there might be some language traps in it, and answered more and more cautiously: "Yes, although I have not been in the cultivation world for a long time, my enthusiasm for the Special Administration Bureau is no less than that of other candidates."
Long Shen couldn't help but flash a smile when he heard him sing loudly.
"Well, tell me the difference between a hundred-year-old zombie and a thousand-year-old zombie." Another man said casually.
In the winter solstice, I heard Chaosheng said that among the three deputy directors, Song Zhicun was the most unattractive, and his voice was extremely rough. As soon as this person opened his mouth, he guessed that the other party was most likely Song Zhicun.
After hearing the question, the Winter Solstice was even more overjoyed, because he had really read the question!
The last time he took the written test, he heard other candidates complaining about the difficulty of the test questions, mentioning the century-old zombie. After returning home, he checked the information, but he didn't expect that he would come across it by accident.
He talked eloquently, said what he remembered, and finally said politely: "I collected these contents from various parties, because I have never seen it myself, so it may not be correct, please examiners to be correct. ."
Song Zhicun nodded, neither saying good nor bad, looking at the others, saying that he had nothing to ask.
A middle-aged man who didn't know the Winter Solstice asked, "What would you do if a very cute child, maybe a child you knew, was held hostage by a demon, and his body might even have been corroded?"
Long Shen suddenly said: "This is the advisor in the bureau, Li Rui, Daoist Li."
Dongzhi hurriedly said: "Li Dao is good, 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 eroded by demons."
His inclination was about to come out, but Dongzhi thought about it, and still said: "But he is also 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 doesn't work. , and then take the next step.”
Li Rui said indifferently: "People who practice cultivation must know how to judge the situation and the situation. Cutting grass and rooting is not the best policy, but the best policy. You are so kind and soft-hearted, you will only mislead others and mislead yourself."
Winter Solstice tried to make his voice sound more sincere: "Li Daochang misunderstood, I didn't say that we can't cut the grass and root, but try to save people as much as possible before destroying the enemy. In my perception, the Special Administration Bureau is actually another meaning. The doctors and police on the top of the board, helping the poor and the poor, punishing the bad and promoting the good, is exactly the duty. Isn't our original intention of joining the Special Administration Bureau to make this world more peaceful? If under the circumstances at that time, the children had been eroded by demons, Powerless, for the sake of more innocent people not to 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, when you are sure that you need to use the last resort, it's too late. Is it too late? For your own conscience, do you have to risk letting the devil poison more living beings?"
Winter Solstice asked back, "What does Daochang Li mean, even if there is a 90% chance that the hostages will be rescued, do you still have to start?"
Li Rui: "Even if there is a 99% chance, it should be done! Compared with tens of millions of lives, how much is one life worth?"
The winter solstice said again: "What if the hostage is not a child, but a doctor who has saved countless people and may save more people in the future?"
Others didn't seem to expect the seemingly harmless him to have such a sharp rebuttal with Li Rui.
Long Shen wanted to cut off the topic, but the idea just came up and he dismissed the idea.
Li Rui's face was completely cold: "Now you are interviewing, not me!"
Winter Solstice sighed, bowed, and said respectfully: "Daochang Li, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make it difficult for you. Is one life more important than a hundred lives? This itself is a topic of controversy throughout the ages, and you were right in your criticism just now. , I have just become a practitioner, and I am indeed not quite used to this status, but I am sorry that I cannot give an accurate answer to your question, because the situation is always changing, and I can only say, with compassion , Doing thunder means is what people of my generation should do."
The well-mannered female examiner clapped, and the applause was clear in the empty classroom.
clap clap clap!
"That's a very good statement, enough to be the motto for all of you here," the lady laughed.
With her words, Li Rui's expression was still a little annoyed, but it was not easy to attack again.
Winter Solstice immediately realized that the lady must be bigger than Li Rui.
"Thank you!" He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing what to call him.
Long Shen seemed to see his hesitation, and said at the right time, "This is Zong Ling Zong, and he is also a consultant in the bureau."
To be called Zong Lao, the other party is definitely not as young as she looks. After all, even Li Rui, who looks older than her, just didn't add the word "old" to Long Shen.
The winter solstice is like a stream of kindness: "Thank you, Mr. Zong!"
Zong Ling smiled and nodded at him.
Long Shen said: "Since you are from Chuanlu, draw a talisman that you are best at."
There is ready-made yellow paper cinnabar next to it, and the Winter Solstice promised, walked to the table, held his breath, and drew a bright light talisman that he had been practicing for a long time.
He didn't choose the thunder talisman because it is more difficult to draw the thunder talisman and the success rate is lower. He has just argued with the examiner, and he should be more cautious.
The runes are completed in one go, which is not bad. When you play on the spot and you must succeed at one time, you can give yourself 85 points from the perspective of the winter solstice. Of course, the requirements and standards of the bosses will be stricter. He commented: "Barely qualified."
Well, barely passing is passing.
The winter solstice couldn't help looking towards Longshen, and the other party just looked up. The two looked at each other, and the latter smiled invisibly.
The laughter is almost gone, but the winter solstice can be seen.
He was still a little nervous because of the debate just now, but now he has completely relaxed.
The trace of regret had disappeared, and there was a vague feeling in the winter solstice. If he had just finished the answer smoothly, he might not be able to get this look from Long Shen, and he might not be able to get the praise of Zong Lao.
Even if you can't make it this time, but you can get this reaction from the male god, you will die without regrets, right
Ah bah bah, I can't die, people haven't soaked it yet, and I can't rest my eyes even if I die!
