28 Chapter 028
☆、0086_pain
There are many scenes in the third exam that involve life and death choices, but because I knew from the beginning that it was just an illusion, the feeling of oppression was not too strong, but because the pain was strong, I was stabbed in the chest and my head was cut off...... After two or three experiences in a row, I couldn't help but think:
It's better to die.
Although after each scene change, the real injuries from the previous round of fantasy will disappear, and the body will be restored to its wholeness, and the pain caused by those wounds will not be added, but the strong pain that remains before still seems to linger and continue to accumulate.
It's no wonder that powerful illusions can easily harvest human lives, this feeling is so real that people can be scared to death.
As the scene progressed, my fear of pain became more and more intense, and I couldn't help but retreat from the near-death scene that I thought I could face calmly. However, I still estimated my bottom line correctly, no matter how frightened, embarrassed, and shameless I was, I never blocked the NPC in the illusion.
But leaving the NPC behind and running away like crazy on his own really did it, more than once...... Very many times.
Until one of the problems, my teammate NPC swung his sword at me, in order to hurt me so that I could fall behind him, and block the boss's path for him.
This scenario is the original question in the written test, but it is relatively low in the order, and when it is the turn of this question, I am already in pain and unable to think calmly, and I am completely caught up in an instinctive reaction, no longer thinking about the question, no longer thinking about my own answer.
Although my memory bank seems to be infinitely stored, and it can be automatically searched as long as there are keywords when querying, but when I don't need to query, it's like closing the door of the memory bank, leaving a blank search interface outside, which I call empty. As long as I don't have the need to query, I will automatically enter the empty state, so that my brain is a little easier and will not be blown up.
From the moment I was betrayed by my teammates, I was so pained by the pain that I completely went into that state of emptiness, and then I kept it until the end of the exam, and I never retrieved the questions and answers from the first exam.
☆, 0087_ foundation
The first time the third exam was over and the illusion disappeared, I built the foundation.
Life is always like this, no matter how you plan, there will be unplanned things. But fortunately, it was only a few months ahead of my scheduled foundation building time, and the physical difference was not too big. Thinking about Uncle Xiao, I am satisfied.
It cannot be said that there are candidates who build a foundation at the selection meeting, but they also appear every three or five times, and Yunxia Sect is very experienced in dealing with them. My father had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as I started building the foundation, he guarded me and helped me protect the Dharma.
At this time, the other candidates were treated step by step, and the announcement of whether they agreed or not.
*
Although I was so absorbed in myself when I was building the foundation that I didn't react to the outside world, that doesn't mean that I didn't know anything about the outside world. Anyway, in retrospect, I remember clearly the list read out by the senior brother, the unreasonable reasons for what he said, and the joy or lamentation of the candidates, the gloomy departure or disobedience to the expulsion.
Senior Brother said: "If the contradiction rate between the subjective questions of the written test and the illusion test is more than 30%, please leave by yourself, and the teleportation array next to the steps will teleport you out." ”
After the senior brother finished speaking, some of them stepped onto the teleportation array on their own in frustration.
The senior brother waited for another moment and spoke: "The person whose name I read below is the one who should have left on his own because of the high contradiction rate, but chose to bet that no one would find someone who could get away with it. For this part of the people, there is no teleportation array available, please walk down the mountain by yourself. Be careful to reach the base of the mountain before sunset today, or you'll be teleported randomly. Xue Zhuke......"
Two groups of people emptied two-thirds of the candidates. It's more than I expected, so it seems that I'm at least at the upper middle level in terms of understanding myself and being honest, and I'm okay with my heart and mind.
Senior Brother: "Yunyuan Peak asks you to do what you like, and if you go against your will, please also leave by yourself and go through the teleportation array." ”
This time, no one moved.
Senior Brother: "Then, the people whose names I read below, the candidates who disobey their hearts but refuse to admit it, please walk down the mountain by yourself." Also for your own safety, please reach the base of the mountain before sunset. Lu Zhoutan ......"
Among them, Lu Zhoutan is the one who has a broken arm, of course, as the senior brother said before, he has already taken his arm back after the exam. The boy surnamed Lu was also the one who reacted the most among the candidates who were judged to be incompatible:
"That's what I like to do! Why do you say I'm against my will?"
The senior brother looked at him and asked flatly, "Maybe it's because we are the ones who make the rules?"
Lu Zhoutan yelled and refused to accept it, but this only made him expel by force.
The remaining candidates who were still waiting for the verdict were shocked by the aura of 'Lao Tzu's greatest' revealed by Yunxia Sect, and due to the departure of a large number of candidates, the remaining candidates were also very weak in terms of numbers, just like a bunch of pitiful people.
My foundation is quiet. The transition from Qi training to foundation building is not like the later Shengjin Dan, Shengyuan Baby, etc., there is also a bit of thunder or something, and the foundation building is mainly to remove the impurities in the body in terms of spiritual power transformation, it does not have a real sense of 'transformation', it can only be regarded as detoxification. From the outside, there is no change except for layers of dirt oozing from the surface of the body.
Originally, there should still be aura fluctuations, but the so-called Dharma protector is mainly to guide those irascible aura and prevent those aura from harming the foundation builders. As for the foundation builders who have no time to defend against external attacks, at least in the Yunxia Sect, this point is not to be taken into account. There is a huge sect, and there is still this little protection for the disciples.
So on the whole, the candidates were very quiet, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
☆、0088_Broken shell
In the face of the silence of the candidates, the senior brother smiled kindly: "Don't worry, the list of incompatible people has been read, and everyone present is on the list." Let me formally introduce myself, I am the same generation as you, and I am the senior brother of this generation, my name is Jiang Weixiao, Jian Xiu, and Jin Dan Period. Dear brothers and sisters, let me talk about the specific arrangements for you. It can be summed up in one sentence, all of you, enter the outer gate of the main peak. Then, I'll read the list routinely. The candidates for this year's new disciple selection conference include: Min Lun, Pei Lin, Shi Bolin, ......"
Rao is still in the process of building the foundation, Rao is still in pain because of the foundation building detoxification, and the pain in the illusion has not disappeared...... Rao has so much Rao is, I was still taken aback by the words of the senior brother:
Wait, didn't I go through the motions and then go back to Sword Cultivation Peak and go back to Pei Feng?!!
"Focus!" my dad sent a voice into my brain, which shocked me, and I could only postpone the question mark full of questions before questioning.
I held back the question mark, but the spiritual power in my body was also messed up for a moment, and my father was naturally there to help me get back on track, but something fell to the ground outside the scope of his guidance.
'Pop' jumped, 'pop' jumped again, 'Gollum' rolled a little, 'popped' cracked again, and finally 'snapped' broke a hole, and out of the broken hole came a wet hairball.
My spirit beast egg of unknown breed, after the start of the third exam, when I found that the illusion was a bit miserable, I put it in the spirit beast bag, and then the whole spirit beast bag was put into my storage spirit weapon.
From a realistic point of view, the illusion is actually like a three-dimensional realistic movie in the brain, no matter how much movement is made in the brain, even if the brain dies, it will not affect the outside world. That is to say, theoretically, even if I have been holding the spirit beast egg in my hand, when I experience the brain theater, no matter how I move in the brain, it should not affect the actual movement of my hands.
However, theory is theory, and I'm still worried that I'm too excited in my brain and accidentally crush the spirit beast egg, so it's better to be appropriate. Although Xiao Dan doesn't like spirit animal bags, and he doesn't like storing spirit weapons, it's better than dying carelessly.
Originally, the speed of time flow between the illusion and the reality is different, just like a dream may dream of several years, but in fact only sleep for a few hours, the illusion has experienced many lives and deaths, and in reality it is less than an hour - the time for each exam is fixed at two hours - two hours is a bit suffocating for the eggs in the storage spirit weapon and the spirit beast bag, but it should be bearable. The point is that it can't be suffocated for sure.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I came out of the illusion, I built the foundation, and then I forgot about it very naturally, so it held for a long time. It wasn't until I was frightened by the senior brother that the spiritual power fluctuated and affected the stability of the storage spirit weapon bound to my soul, and the little egg took the opportunity to jump out.
- I've tried before, and the Spirit Beast Bag can't trap it at all, it's like a nest with an open door. Blame me, seeing that it's pitiful, I didn't go out of my way to find a high-level spirit beast bag, and just took one just in case, there was no targeted and no indiscriminate suppression, of course, I couldn't control the restless bear child.
☆、0089_disgusted
The other candidates, oh, it should be said, were led to the dormitory to rest, while I continued to build the foundation alone in the examination room. The only two creatures that accompany me, one is my father, whose breath is as if it doesn't exist, and the other is very presence, the hairball, which keeps gnawing on the eggshell.
By the time the hairball had eaten its eggshells, I had finally entered the foundation building period, and by this time, it was almost dawn again, and it took me a whole day and a night to finish the foundation. This speed is relatively modest, the fast foundation building takes less than an hour to complete, and the slow one takes three days, and one day is an average speed.
But after I finished building the foundation, the first thing that came to my mind was not my foundation building problem, but how did I eat that little eggshell for so long? I heard that I thought of crispy noodles from potato chips, from osteoporosis to upside-down eggshells in flower pots...... If it hadn't been clicking, I think I could have been more focused, and I might have been able to finish the foundation before dark, and make it to dinner the day before. Now I can only catch today's breakfast.
...... No, there is Bigu Dan to gnaw, what do I want for breakfast...... Still not right, when was the last time I gnawed on Bigu Dan? It's been more than a day, and the foundation is consuming a lot of energy, so it's no wonder that I'm so hungry.
"Are you done in a daze?" my dad said coldly, "I'll go to the dormitory to report after I'm done." Do you know where the dormitory is?"
I came back to my senses and turned out the question I had been forced to suppress before: "I want a dormitory, won't I go back to Pei Feng?"
My father: "How old are you?"
"Fifteen, minor. I said sincerely. I felt that the world of the two lives was too different for the ages to be added up directly, so I decided to count the two sides separately.
My father didn't care about the age difference of more than thirty years with me, and only said: "Only inner disciples are qualified to be accepted as apprentices by the elders, you can go to the inner gate and then come and tell me about Pei Feng." ”
Me: "So, except for the four who were taken away after measuring the spirit root, the others are all outer gates. What are the requirements for direct access to the inner door?"
My Dad: "Loyal." What else could it be? Those four are also outer gates now, but they are not the outer gates of the main peak. Yunxia Sect is not a charity, the inner disciples can get so many resources, of course Yunxia Sect has to be doubled back, without loyalty, no matter how good the talent is, Yunxia Sect will not raise it. New disciples must observe the outer gate for at least one year, and only after confirming that they are not white-eyed wolves will they be promoted to the inner gate. ”
Me: "I've been watched for fifteen years...... "If that's not sure enough, I don't think I'll have much hope for the rest of my life."
My father: "So, if you grew up in Yunxia Sect, you can generally go through the exam according to the process and enter the inner door directly." ”
I pointed to myself, "So?"
My father: "You start at the outer gate, I asked for it." I'm going out for a year, and I don't have time to care about you this year, so you just stay in the main peak and save yourself from being lazy. ”
Me: "...... "How much do you dislike me?"
