Chapter 70 Drawing the sister-in-law and conferring an official status
After Yu Que returned to the alchemist's guild, he did not move out with his uncle and others, but continued to pay for the quiet room for a few more days.
Although this place is expensive and inconvenient for a large family to live in, it is safe.
Yu Que plans to wait until the county school results are released before moving. When the time comes, it will be easier for my uncle to ask someone to go back to the Fu clan to pick up the things.
Regarding his plan, although the uncles and others have been timid in the guild recently, they all support it, and they are afraid that their random opinions will disturb Yu Que, and ask Yu Que to tell him what else he has to say. Must comply.
Very quickly, three days flew by.
In the meantime, Yu Que took the time to go out and met eight candidates' friends in the county town, and informed Huang Guishan in advance that he was ready to register his identity and become a ninth-level alchemist.
This day, early in the morning.
Yu Que took a bath in the morning and rinsed his mouth with wicker branches, refined salt and other substances. He felt refreshed and had no peculiar smell all over his body.
His aunt, who had gotten up earlier, gathered around him and pressed a hot towel on his robe, for fear of getting any extra wrinkles on his clothes.
For half an hour, he was neatly dressed, his shoes and socks were neat, and he had applied a time-honored brand of hair polish. There was no defect in his body. Then, under the watch of his family, he stepped out of the quiet room and headed towards a certain place in the courtyard. Go.
Today is exactly what Huang Guishan said, to help him decide on a good day to practice his official body!
If everything goes well, after it is accomplished, he will be known as a real ninth-grade alchemist, and will no longer be an ordinary commoner or fairy boy among the people.
Yu Que walked straight all the way and arrived at the Qingfu Shrine where he had worshiped before. He stopped outside the door, clasped his hands and stood quietly outside the door.
In the early morning, there were many people coming and going in the shrine, and all of them were Zhenger Ba Sutra refiners with mysterious auras.
When they saw Yu Que waiting at the door, they would look at him involuntarily, with incomprehensible eyes.
Fortunately, Yu Que waited for less than two-quarters of an hour before Huang Guishan stepped on his feet, yawned, and appeared in front of the shrine without fail.
As soon as he saw Yu Que, he raised his eyebrows, then grabbed Yu Que and walked quickly inside:
"Follow me first."
The man dragged Yu Que into the shrine, threw Yu Que down, lit three incense sticks neatly, and thrust them into the incense burner in front of the green talisman.
Huang Guishan looked at the green smoke rising slowly, straight and steady. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but clapped his hands:
"That's right, I'm on time again today and get to work on time!"
Yu Que couldn't help but take a few more glances, and then realized that Huang Guishan was burning incense here, which was similar to the apprentices signing in for work in the front yard of the guild.
After Huang Guishan finished incense, he coughed lightly and calmed down the frivolity on his face.
He waved his hand towards Yu Que: "Since you have come to the shrine, you are no longer an outsider. Come and pay some incense and pay homage. After you have finished paying homage, I will take you to see the leader."
Yu Que stepped forward, straightened his face, and worshiped respectfully.
Afterwards, Huang Guishan returned to his normal appearance. He staggered and led Yu Que around the shrine, looking here and there.
This person's popularity in the alchemist's guild does not seem to be as bad as Qian Huazhen said, but rather he is extremely popular.
There were many new faces that Yu Que had never seen in the guild. When they saw Huang Guishan, they all nodded with smiles and gave Yu Que some hints.
Not long after.
The two of them came to an ancient quiet room. The stone door was not closed, and only the curtains were hung down.
Before they could say anything, an old voice came from behind the curtain: "Just come in."
Huang Guishan lowered his head and walked quickly, signaling Yu Que to follow him.
A coffee table and a bamboo bed appeared in front of them. Sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed was an old Taoist with white beard and white hair. He was quite Taoist and had an immortal spirit. He was hugging Ziwu with both hands and closing his eyes to rest.
The two bowed respectfully:
"Huang Guishan has seen Hui Shou."
"Yu Que has met the meeting leader."
When the white-bearded old man heard this, he suddenly swayed, stared at Huang Guishan with strange eyes, and muttered:
"You yellow-skinned man, you are not so serious when you usually come to see me. Could it be that you have some evil plans against me today?"
Huang Guishan coughed lightly and reminded: "The leader of the guild, I have a younger generation. I have agreed that I will ask you to review it today and officially enter it into the guild gold book."
The white-bearded leader suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Have you ever said anything about this?"
The man sighed and shook his head: "I am old, I am too old to remember things. Unlike you, all of you are young and full of life."
Just when Yu Que thought that the other party was really lamenting his years, Huang Guishan's face darkened, and suddenly a piece of medicinal material wrapped in oil paper that looked like ginseng or radish slipped out of his sleeve.
This thing is about the thickness of a child's arm, but it also has a weird fishy smell.
"Here you go." Huang Guishan handed over his hands angrily.
The white-bearded leader suddenly jumped up from the bamboo bed, like a pillar holding up the sky, standing stunned.
After jumping off the ground, the other party noticed that Yu Que was still present in the quiet room. He flicked the complicated and mysterious Bagua robe on his body, walked to Huang Guishan with square steps, and took the "carrot" .
He weighed the medicinal materials, smiled immediately, put it into his sleeve robe, and motioned to Huang Guishan: "If you have this good thing, let's take a few bites together at night?"
Huang Guishan shook his head: "This junior is asking for trouble."
The white-bearded leader clicked his tongue:
"You're a lazy, greedy guy who doesn't know how to change. It's not a bad thing to have a family! After two marriages, you can't go back to Heping Alley. It's too late for me to envy you."
< br>
"That's all. If I go, you must go. I don't want my aunt to find me in my dream again and stay up all night."
Huang Guishan shook his head like a rattle.
Yu Que stood aside. He listened to the conversation between the two, and his eyes suddenly became dazed. He had already guessed what the medicinal materials Huang Guishan bribed just now were!
For the first time, Bai Xuhui saw Yu Que's eyes straighten. The man rolled up his sleeves and robe, nodded towards Yu Que, and asked:
"Young man, how about you accompany me for a few bites?"
Yu Que was a little at a loss. He had never thought that the leader of such a large alchemist guild would be so out of tune. After hesitating for a few times, he was about to agree, but Huang Guishan next to him turned him away with his hand.
"Stop teasing him. If he is caught in a dream by his aunt, he will be in a state of depression for more than half a month if he is punished with a small punishment. By then, there will be a lot of delays."
When Yu Que heard this, he quickly handed over his hand: "Thank you, Senior Huishou, for your kindness."
"Yes." Bai Xuhui put his hands behind his back indifferently, turned his back to the two of them, and muttered to an eight-foot large painting hanging on the wall in the quiet room:
"Old woman, look at how scared you are. I can't even find anyone for two whole days."
Yu Que raised his eyes and was stunned again.
Because what is drawn on the hanging painting is a slender girl with a coquettish temperament and heavy makeup.
His eyebrows and eyes are like silk, as if he can attract the souls of people outside the painting.
The most important thing is that the girl in the painting blinked when she saw Yu Que looking at her.
When Yu Que thought he was dazzled by what he saw, the other party yawned in the painting and rolled his eyes angrily at everyone. He looked like a real person.
Huang Guishan next to him looked slightly anxious and quickly bowed to the girl in the painting:
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Sister-in-law, my little yellow mouth is stupid, I'm not whispering to you.
Just now, I called him a disrespectful and shameless old man! ”
That’s it!
The girl in this painting is the woman with a white beard and a head!
Yu Que remembered seeing similar situations like this in ghost gatherings.
Then, in his mind, the scene of the girl walking down from the painting, turning reality into reality, swaying her figure, and the white-bearded and white-haired man, shaking her head, sucking bones and marrow together, appeared in his mind.
Yu Que took a slight breath and secretly exclaimed, "You really know how to play."
He really didn't expect that this old man, as the leader of a refinery, was highly respected and talented, but his mother-in-law was not only not from the Immortal Family, but she was not even a living person...
But then again, the other party is an alchemist, and his craft is mainly about making ghosts and monsters. It is quite suitable for him to have the ghost in the painting as his wife?
Yu Que was dumbfounded, and Huang Guishan next to him breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the girl in the painting was not angry.
After bowing to each other again and again, Huang Guishan finally said:
"Head of the meeting, please be a man and quickly take out the red pen and gold book. I have to take the boy everywhere to identify the door, then burn incense at the Qingfu and report to the court."
The white-bearded leader blew his beard and suddenly flicked his sleeves, making a snapping sound.
A box opened in the room, and a golden book flew out, along with a jade pen with a bright red tip.
"Write it yourself."
The leader of the White Beard Association made an explanation and ignored it.
The other party took out the radish-shaped medicinal material from his sleeve, happily took out a wine jar, soaked it in the wine jar, and leaned down to take a deep smell.
"Nanshan tiger, what a good thing."
On Huang Guishan's side, he actually took the jade pen, flipped through the golden book by himself, solemnly pinched the incantation, recited the incantation, and leaned over to write on it.
After finishing writing, the other party called Yu Que to him:
"Take a drop of blood from your finger, keep a mental note, and type it on this word."
Yu Que lowered his head and took a look and found that there were many names on the gold book. The one Huang Guishan was referring to was the word "Yu Que". In addition, there are small characters such as year, month, day, and year on the booklet.
Yu Que didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly did as the other party said.
After leaving his name in the golden book, Huang Guishan felt like he was at home again. He walked to the side of the quiet room, rummaged through the boxes and found a jade plaque.
This card is grey, similar in shape to the green talisman in the shrine, and has seals on both sides, but it is less than half the size of a palm.
Huang Guishan once again used his pen to write and draw on the bottom of the jade plaque.
During the sizzling sound, gray air surged, and there were four inscriptions dented at the bottom of the jade tablet, which were the four characters "Refiner Yu Que".
After doing this, Huang Guishan brought the jade plaque to the golden book, aimed at the drop of finger blood on it, and slapped it, leaving a four-character mark, and the bottom of the jade plaque turned bright red.
After completing this step, Huang Guishan threw the jade token to Yu Que, clapped his hands and said: "It's done!"
Yu Que stretched out his ignorant hands and took the gray jade token.
He was stunned for a moment, still a little confused: "This, is this the end?"
"Yes, it's over." Huang Guishan folded his sleeves and glanced at the white-bearded Huitou who was making wine next to him.
He tugged at his beard and said with a smile:
"You don't even look at the relationship between me and the leader of the meeting. With Huang leading you, there is no need to ring the bell, shake the cup, burn incense and go to the table. After being reviewed by many refiners, it is spread throughout the whole meeting. Only then can I add you to the golden book.”
He shook his head and said: "Trouble, please, it will take a whole morning to get started. I will take you to identify the door later and ventilate the big guy."
In an instant, a doubt that existed in Yu Que's heart was suddenly solved.
No wonder Huang Guishan would confidently let him pass the exam and then be certified as an alchemist, without worrying at all whether the guild's process would be too slow, evasive, or even direct during the certification process. Didn't make it in time.
It turns out that there is someone above this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes!
In addition, there is a quiet room at the head of the meeting.
Yu Que's throat slid, and he wanted to say something to Huang Guishan.
The other party mentioned ringing the bell, shaking the cup and spoon, burning incense on the table, reviewing it by all the masters, spreading it throughout the guild... In fact, he didn't think it was troublesome at all.
Not to mention spending a whole morning or an afternoon, even if it was a big deal, for three days and three nights, he would do his part without any hesitation, as long as he could get through it!
