Shi Xuan didn't hide anything, and said with a smile: "Shi's bones are above average, but his talent and understanding are both above average."
In fact, for young monks like Shi Xuan, the questions asked are a little less. If they are older, they will also ask at what age they started practicing, so as not to miss those who started practicing as adults but have progressed quickly. .
Zhou Dielan opened her mouth and screamed in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth, and after a moment she said: "I didn't expect that Brother Shi, you are good at two things, but Sister Yu is only good at everything, both in talent and understanding. Just get on."
"Haha, generally speaking, Miss Yu is better than Shi. I wonder what you think of Miss Butterfly Lan?" After all, they were familiar monks, so Shi Xuan also asked her with concern.
Zhou Dielan's face turned red: "I'm good in all three categories, but I can't compare to you."
"Not bad, Butterfly's results rank among the top among monks in the Qi-nourishing stage. But I didn't expect that the Penglai sect's Dharma conference for recruiting disciples would be so simple. I thought I would have to fight in the ring a few times." Yu Ruoshui said half happily and half encouragingly.
Shi Xuan heard Ming Qingyue mention it: "The higher the realm, the monks below it can't be defeated no matter how powerful they are. The Penglai sect is only looking for monks who can inherit the Taoism and can cultivate to the golden elixir stage, not For monks who can fight, why should they use the form of fighting in the ring? It is better to test their perseverance and character. Besides, after entering the sect, you will still be guided on your actual combat ability. There is also a fighting competition every five years, which allows the disciples to practice fighting skills. The ability to compete in martial arts will prevent you from suffering losses in the future."
"I didn't expect you, fellow Daoist Shi, to know so much. You are really well-informed. However, I have a negative example of the fact that realm is more important than actual combat. A senior monk I admire very much, "Sword Old Man", is Jian Qi Wushuang, it is said that he has been watching the tide on the sea for a hundred years, and he has understood the boundless sword energy and the thunder sound of sword energy. With the realm of the divine soul stage, he surpassed the level and killed a golden elixir master. Although it was a low-grade golden elixir, it was a rare event in ten thousand years. An incredible feat." Speaking of Old Man Jian, Yu Ruoshui spoke freely.
"Haha, you also said that it is a feat that is rare in ten thousand years. You can imagine how difficult it is to cross the level challenge. Of course, except for those who have good magic weapons, spiritual weapons, and even magic weapons, I just can't think of the rest. Girl, you are very interested in learning swordsmanship." Shi Xuan had never heard of this before, after all, he was just a rookie in the world of cultivation.
Yu Ruoshui blushed in a rare sight: "If I can become a true disciple of the Penglai Sect, I will definitely choose the true disciple of the Sword Refining Box and become a figure like Wuhui Jian Yongxiang."
As he spoke, the test had been completed. Xie Fangwei listened to the reports from the nine inner disciples and then reported the results to Mo Yuan. After Mo Yuan made his decision, Xie Fangwei said to the thousands of monks: "Anyone who is above average in terms of talent, ability, and understanding, please go back to the Bamboo Tower."
Below middle, that is, middle, lower, lower, and lower. As soon as these words came out, countless monks lamented, but they did not dare to cause trouble. Mo Yuan could take care of all the monks here with one hand. , had no choice but to walk down the mountain peak dejectedly.
When the group of monks finished leaving, there were only about 700 or 800 people left in the square. Standing in a huge square, it seemed extremely sparse. However, Shi Xuan looked around and easily saw the people who had set off a few days in advance. It was clear that she happened to be standing with several female monks.
Seeing Shi Xuan's look, Ming Qingyue smiled and nodded in response, and Shi Xuan also smiled in greeting.
Seeing that the other monks had left, Xie Fangwei stood up and said, "Fellow monks, please go up to this cloud. The following is to ask about your thoughts." After saying that, he pointed with his hand, and a big white cloud floated on the ground. It's half the size of a square. ”
Seven to eight hundred monks stood on the cloud. This cloud seemed more than enough. You can imagine how big it was. Xie Fangwei pointed again, and the white cloud slowly floated up and flew towards the foot of the mountain.
When you get to the foot of the mountain, you will see a straight road, from the foot of the mountain to the peak. There are rocks in the middle, rocks in the rocks, and there is no road in the sky.
"There are no spells or magic weapons on this road to ask the mind. Everyone, please." The white clouds slowly dissipated on the ground, and Xie Fangwei stood at the intersection and said to the many monks.
Except for the difficulty of building such a road, this road looks like an ordinary road, nothing out of the ordinary. The monks looked at each other for a few times, and finally someone stepped up.
It wasn't until Shi Xuan walked on this road that he realized what was different about it. It was surrounded by white mist and he could only see a little bit of the surroundings clearly, which couldn't be seen outside.
Originally, Shi Xuan, Zhou Dielan and Yu Ruoshui walked into the road of asking questions, but now he couldn't see the others and could only walk forward slowly by himself.
As I walked forward for a while, I gradually felt restrained. Every step I took required more energy. Moreover, the surroundings were so quiet that I couldn't even hear my own footsteps. It was as if I was locked up in a room. A place of absolute silence.
Shi Xuan wanted to make a sound, but when he spoke, he couldn't even hear him. In this strange silence, Shi Xuan became more and more restrained as he walked, and various emotions in his heart also fermented in this silence.
Gradually, Shi Xuan found that he couldn't even see the mist, and was surrounded by a deserted night. He couldn't see, hear, or speak. He couldn't even feel the skin on his body when he pinched it. It felt as if he was not there at all. In this world.
In this hair-raising feeling, Shi Xuan only felt that anxiety, tension, anger, frustration, sadness, pain and other emotions were getting stronger and stronger. He wanted to yell, but unfortunately he also understood that even if he yelled, He couldn't hear or even feel his mouth moving. He followed his instinct and walked forward with heavy steps.
Fortunately, Shi Xuan remembered that this was a test, so he kept his spiritual intelligence intact, and used the supreme method of restraining thoughts in "Baolu" to control his emotions. This method is not a magic method, but a means of visualization. It is no different from people usually taking deep breaths to calm their emotions, so it is not impossible to use it.
Maintaining emotional stability, Shi Xuan struggled to move forward as the restraints became increasingly heavy. In the end, he was almost lying on the ground under the restraints, but Shi Xuan still did not stop moving forward.
Finally, his eyes lit up, and Shi Xuan found himself standing on the road to ask the heart he had just seen. There was no darkness, no fog, and he was only a short distance away from the mountain peak.
Shi Xuan looked around and saw Ming Qingyue stopped not far in front, with a quiet expression. He must have come out of the hallucination. Yu Ruoshui, Zhou Dielan and others were still walking slowly behind him, but their eyes were empty. , all kinds of uneasy emotions appeared on his face, and he looked like he was about to go crazy.
Because they were worried that the rules would not allow it, when they were considering whether to help them, Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan had already walked to the place where Shi Xuan was standing just now. Their expressions suddenly became vivid, and they looked around, seemingly hallucinating. Once you reach this point, you will wake up.
"Brother Shi, I almost went crazy just now." Zhou Dielan touched her chest and said fearfully. Yu Ruoshui also nodded frequently.
"I think if you can get out of this illusion, you must have a good character. Look at how many monks behind you slumped on the spot and then disappeared." Shi Xuan pointed at the monks on the road behind him and said.
Because they were ready to recover their strength and continue walking upward, the monks who came out of the hallucination stopped where they were. However, many monks have exhausted their energy in hallucinations and can no longer move forward once they stop. Most of them are monks in the Qi nourishing stage, including Zhou Dielan.
At this time, Xie Fangwei's voice came: "There is still a quarter of an hour. If you can't reach the peak, please go back."
The monks who could no longer move were paralyzed on the ground in despair. Shi Xuan suddenly noticed that Meng Yuqian, a playboy, was showing a kind heart and took the initiative to help the monks who were paralyzed on the ground. He immediately understood and came to Penglai. The faction still likes monks who can be friendly and friendly to the same sect. After all, no one wants to accept a disciple who is like a wolf with white eyes. However, the family members know this but refuse to spread it, fearing that they will take a lot of advantage.
Looking at Ming Qingyue, she was also helping a limp female monk. When she saw Shi Xuan coming and going, she blinked three times, and her meaning was self-evident.
Seeing that Yu Ruoshui had already helped Zhou Dielan, Shi Xuan knew that she was sincere and stopped reminding her. He found a male monk and helped him to the mountain peak.
In the illusion, the physical strength of the monks in the Qi-nourishing stage is basically exhausted, while the monks in the out-of-body stage can still manage to hold on. Only those who have been tempered by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during the entrainment period will not see any abnormalities, but Shi Xuan estimates that the difficulty and requirements of the three should be different.
Shi Xuan was still holding on to a monk while struggling to hold on, and walked even slower. Fortunately, he was not far from the peak. Finally, with a little time left, he stepped onto the top of the peak, and then just I can barely stand, but I can't take a step forward.
A quarter of an hour later, Xie Fangwei used a technique to move the monk in the nourishing stage who was limp not far from the peak to the top of the peak, while the monk in the out-of-body stage did not know where to move, and Just like those monks who couldn't extricate themselves from the hallucination before.
"If a monk in the Qi-nourishing stage can get out of the hallucination, his character and perseverance will be counted, and those who can walk up on his own will be counted." Don’t mention it.
There are currently less than two hundred monks left on the mountain peak. This does not include the monks in the entrainment stage who took the outer deacon test, nor does it include children under the age of twelve. They are all different tests.
While these monks were resting, in another hidden place on the top of the mountain, Meng Yuchang was asking an inner disciple who was previously responsible for the test: "Junior brother Qin, how is my brother?"
Junior Brother Qin struggled to show his face and said: "Senior Brother Meng, your brother is only ranked twenty-third in the out-of-body stage. I'm afraid there is no hope this time. You use elixirs to kill him. His root bones have been modified so well. As a result, judging from his cultivation and age, his talent and understanding can only be above average. This is easy to detect and cannot be faked."
Meng Yuchang said with a normal expression: "What does hopelessness mean? Isn't there an interrogation about one's financial background later? Just find an excuse to demote a few people."
"But, Senior Brother Meng, most of the people in front of him are well-established monks in the Three Islands Sea Area. If they are casually demoted, Senior Uncle Mo will be watching!" Junior Brother Qin does not dare to take this risk.
"There are some monks who are not from the Three Islands Sea Area, aren't they?" Meng Yuchang began to smile.
"But among them there must be other monks who have great origins in the sea area and are innocent and not afraid of investigation. It would be too obvious if they were all demoted!" Junior Brother Qin still argued with a grimace.
Meng Yuchang's smile warmed people's hearts like the spring breeze: "There are always a few of them, Junior Brother Qin. If this happens, I will ask my grandfather to accept you as my disciple."
Junior Brother Qin hesitated for a long time before he said, "Okay. I'll try my best."
