Transmigration: Life As A Ger In Ancient Times With My Mystical Snake-Chapter 138: Part 3

Xiao Ling: "Please give me a castle" 🥺🥺🥺

Yanzhi: "Give little wife a castle!!! Preferably a spaceship!!!!" ⚔️⚔️⚔️

Walking to the stand where no. 6 and no. 7 were entrusted with, Qing Zhuangzi cupped respectfully. "Who’s tokens do you have and your ages?" not bothering looking up to them no. 7 asked indifferently. They frowned inexplicably by such nonchalant attitude towards them, who in the capital did not know of them. It was a pity that the people here didn’t know, and wouldn’t care even if they knew who they were. Taking out nine tokens from his breast Qing Zhuangzi placed them on the table "brother Jinhua and brother Dafu, five tokens. The five of us." Zhuangzi reported including Shuge and him he pointed to three more, the two ger and the remaining girl, all looking to be young masters and young ladies from aristocrat families. He then pointed to the remaining four men who had the demeanor of soldiers who served in the army. "Four tokens from King Pingxi and uncle Fei."

No. 6 hummed and wrote down their names and ages and kept the tokens. "What about those behind you?" he arched his brows and asked. "Our servants." Qing Shuge said with a snort. His eyes shrank sightly at her rude tone "they stay for now, after passing the tests you can come for them." he simple said.

Qing Zhuangzi: "Understood!"

Qing Shuge: "Wait there’s a test?"

They spoke at the same time, Zhuangzi glared angrily at her. Ignoring their little actions "that should have been told to you by those who received the tokens. Whatever, 270 taels just pay up and climb up the stairs someone is there to tell you where to go." no. 7 interjected shooing them away with a sneer. Zhuangzi gave no. 7 the pouch containing the silvers, no. 7 went through with his qi and nodded. They cupped to them as Zhuangzi pulled Shuge away with the orders following. "What do you think? They’ll pass or fail?" no. 7 asked while pinching his chin. "Pass. Those four people following behind should be brought with them for that purpose, to help them pass." no. 6 said unfazed.

They brought back their attentions to registering the people from the village with their baskets of food items. On the other side where no. 3 and no. 5 were seated, a figure came to stand in front of them to register. Clothed in egg-green robes with narrow sleeves and a collar, and a wide belt of the same color around his waist. His hair help up in a bun with a wooden hairpin, tied behind him was a wooden spear. "Seniors!" he cupped respectfully, his voice sounding hoarse. "Lian Huan, seventeen years old from Yuchen county, here to register. I am a man!" he said emphasising. No. 4 stopped his movements of writing and held the brush, he arched his brows. "A ger!" he stated factly and continued his movements again. Lian Huan became nervous from his words. "No, I am a man." he anxiously denied. The sound of the bell was heard again, no. 5 frowned in dissatisfactions. "You’re obviously a ger, stop wasting time, pay up and proceed. Don’t waste people’s time!" he said angrily. Lian Huan’s eyes widened, he quickly took out the pouch from his breast place and gave it to no.3, no. 3 nodded after going through with qi. "Go up ahead, someone will tell you where to go." he instructed and turn to the person following. Lian Huan was still shocked as he climbed the stairs, before coming here he didn’t believe that they’d really accept women and ger, so he disguised himself as a men. When he was seen through by them he thought it was over and that they were going to send him away, but it seems they really meant to accept ger and women, he was inexplicable.

"The fourth bell has been rang, 1 more bell to end the registration, be fast!" No. 5 announced loudly. "Lixin, no. 5, let some of them come here. We’ve collected all tokens sent out and it seems there are no more people from the village coming." no. 7 shouted to them. They quickly divided the people lined up between them to fasten things up. After a while the fifth bell was heard. Without saying anything they closed the books and put away the brushes and inkstones, they didn’t even continue to finish up registering for those who were standing in front of them. They packed everything up from chairs to tables leaving nothing. "Registration is over, come back after three years!" No. 5 announced loudly and they started climbing up the stairs.

"Wait! What?"

"How can it be over just like that?"

"We’ve been standing here for very long time!"

"Please come back!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The crowds broke out in excitements trying to stop them, but they didn’t mind them. Even the spectators who came to join the fun looked at them with sympathy. Some participants families breathed sigh of relief seeing that their childrens had already registered and those who failed to register their families felt bitter and sad. No. 6 stopped and turned back "Don’t try to come up. The formation has once more covered up here again when the bell was rang, whoever stubbornly follows up whatever happens to you TianXin sect will not be responsible." after warning he turned back and continued to climb up. They all stopped not daring to give a chase again.

After the fifth bell was rang, Bee stood up from his seat and was standing on the platform of the assembly ground. Behind him were Yanzhi and Xiao Ling sitting on the highest chairs and on their sides were the elders. "Everyone shut up!" Bee said lightly but it was as if his voice was amplified. The noise came to a stop and all the participants looked up ahead to him. "In a while the test will begin, you will be taken to Mystery Valley, a hunting ground on TianXin mountain, there is the location for the test. Now I will explain what the test is." Bee spoke and pointed to the big board with draws and writings on it which was facing them. "That will be your test, hunting. It’s almost to the middle of wu shi, the test will begin exactly from the middle of wu shi and will stop at the end of shen shi. Your hunting targets are ranked in points, and you’re to earn 1000 points to pass. Long tooth rabbit 5 points, adult long tooth rabbit 10 points, Spotted snake 10 points, red-crowned peasant 5 points, mutated red-crowned peasant 10 points, blood-thirsty vulture 15 points, flaming vermilion wolf 20 points, inferno wolf 30 points, green wind cat 30 points, swift tail wolf 40 points, black fox 40 points, soaring wood serpent 50 points, horned sheep 50 points, one eye demon ape 60 points, tough skin wild boar 100 points, white jade fox 100 points, and so on. There are a lot of beasts in Mystery Valley which gives a lot more points than this, do not approach them if you can’t handle them. At the end of shen shi the first 500 people to come with with 1000 points gets to stay, that is excluding those with recommendations. For you as long out you come out with 1000 points, you will be accepted. But do not panic this is a test and we won’t let you die, whether you pass or fail you will be healed of all injuries sustained. You will see that under the beasts to hunt there are herbs to collect, collect those herbs and you’ll get points for them. Liuliguo 50 points, blood-color ginseng 70 points, spirit fruit 70 points, nine-leaf lotus 100 points, Zhuguo 100 points. Those are what will give you points."

"Senior, how will our points be given when we hunt and collect herbs?" after he ended his explanation a young man raised his hands up and asked. Looking to where the person asked the other participants made way to reveal Luo Zhen. "Turn over there to the three big stone boards, you will find your names there with 0 next to it, whenever you hunt or collect herbs the points will show there." they all turned to the stone boards he pointed at with bewildered expressions. They’ve been here all this while so when did they have time to write their names there without them even knowing? They all asked themselves. "Then how do we know when the time is up?" another person asked seeing that Bee wasn’t upset when Luo Zhen interrupted to ask questions. "The bell will be rang exactly at the end of shen shi, you’re all to return at a tea cup’s time after the bell is rang." Bee answered to his question calmly.

"Okay, time is here. Now everyone go over there and pick your weapons and baskets, there’s no need to bring back the beasts you hunt, just bring back the herbs. You’re welcome to use whatever means you have." he instructed urging them to go for whatever weapons they want from the countless of weapons and a basket each. They all ran to the weapons in excitements everyone wanting to get the best weapon. The already martial artists were stunned feeling the spiritual energy from the weapons, they had shocked expressions thinking how rich was TianXin sect to even use spiritual weapons for amateurs and non sect members. As everyone was focused on selecting their weapons, Chuntao wearing a light color purple dress with her four servants following behind her walked by past the participants to find her brothers.

"Young miss, where are you going?" the older servant asked with worry. Chuntao was introduced to them as the daughter-in-law of the sect master and grand elder and was addressed as young miss. They are to serve her well and ensure that she never lacks anything, so they were anxious seeing her walking between the rowdy crowds. "Looking for my third and fourth elder brothers, I’ll give them something and then we go back." she smiled warmly and said softly to the older servant. "But miss isn’t that against the rules?" a young female servant asked scared. "No, I asked eldest brother and he said no. Some of the participants here have brought a lot of things for themselves. And didn’t you hear what elder brother Bee said, they’re welcome to use whatever means." she explained, but the servants weren’t at ease. "Third brother, fourth brother!" she soon spotted Xiangzhi and Xiangli, they ran to her when she called. "Chuntao! How are you?" Xiangzhi asked smiling when he saw her. "I’m doing batter." she responded. "Then how’s your living here?" Xiangli interjected. "I’m fine, there’s no time to talk. Take this, rejuvenating pills and protective talismans, I bought with my points after I asked eldest brother whether I can give to you and he said yes. I wish you luck on your test, we’ll talk later." she said hurriedly and passed them each a porcelain bottle and stacks of talismans. "Also the beasts you hunt are good things and can aid in practice, although you can’t take much with you but make sure you keep some for yourselves and better yet you cook it and eat it while you’re taking the test as to not waste it." she advised. They both nodded heavily taking her advice to mind.

Just when she was about to leave them an annoying voice sounded. "Hey, if it isn’t little sister. It seems you’re living a good life here and enjoying this beautiful and amazing place to yourself." Xangren who appeared from nowhere with minions spoke. Chuntao pretended not to hear him and turned to leave. "Hey, how can you ignore your big brother? Don’t worry after I pass the test I’ll come and join you in enjoying life here!" he said with a smug look. She turned to him with a blackened face, part opened her mouth to speak....

"Hmph! As you said, when you pass the test. Hah! but with your abilities it’ll even be an accomplishment if you can come back alive." Xiaomi stood in front of Chuntao and snorted coldly. "Young miss, do not waste time with him. Let’s go, I’ll take you back." she turned to Chuntao. Chuntao nodded and followed her leaving Xangren looking at their backs with vicious looks. "What did Chuntao give you two, I saw her passing something to you." he turned to Xiangzhi and Xiangli with terrifying looks. "Nothing, she just came to say hello." Xiangzhi said "let’s go!" he said to Xiangli and walked away, Xiangli quickly followed not wanting to be left alone with Xangren. Xangren stomped his feet angrily "let’s go!" he ordered his minions.
