Chapter 48: The Struggle of Inaction

The root bone test is followed by the concentration test, which is very simple, a dark wall, evenly divided into different areas by red lines, and white spots of different sizes are distributed in each area.

The test content is to count the number of white dots on the wall, and the difference between the front and back is less than 100 is the passing test.

There were thirty people who tested with Zhu Tianpeng, and many people suddenly had big heads when they saw these white spots, and after counting the number of white spots in an area, everyone felt dizzy.

As it continued, the feeling of vertigo intensified, and finally someone couldn't stand it and stumbled and almost fell, so they had to roughly estimate a number to fill in, and then wait for the results.

Some people think they are smart, and after choosing a few regions and counting them, they will average them and multiply them by the number of regions, thinking that the results obtained in this way are more accurate.

There were only a few people who could count the areas one by one, and they all sat on the ground, enduring dizziness, and with tenacious willpower they were able to count the white dots.

Zhu Tianpeng didn't use his perceptual ability to cheat, and like everyone else, he counted the white dots one by one, and the feeling that this black wall brought him was no different from the feelings of ordinary people.

After counting once, he felt that some areas seemed to be counted incorrectly, and he counted them again from the beginning, because everyone tested at the same time, he needed to fill in the last number before entering the next link.

So seeing him start again, the others were a little reluctant to get up, and talked coldly beside him, and there were a few people who wanted to count again like him, but they were also defeated in the cynicism of these people, so they had to fill in the numbers they thought they thought, and then came to the side to rest.

Zhu Tianpeng didn't seem to hear it, if he didn't have this concentration in his cultivation, and others would give up as soon as he said it, then what kind of practice would he practice?

While he was counting again, the next group of people who participated in the test had already arrived and started counting the white dots.

More than an hour passed, he counted the white dots on the wall again, but the numbers were different for the two times, Zhu Tianpeng smiled bitterly and rubbed his temples, and began to count again.

The third group of people had already arrived, and the test began, and the people who came with Zhu Tianpeng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and began to scold, and even threatened to beat him for a while, but he just smiled and ignored it.

After three times, he finally determined that the problem appeared in those areas, and after checking repeatedly to confirm that there was no problem, he filled in the number in his mind.

As a result, another two hours passed, and another group of personnel finished the test, because the next link also entered the next link in order.

So almost everyone had a lot of grudges against him, and several people wanted to follow his example a few times, but they were defeated by the surging shouts and scolding next to him.

After he finished filling in the numbers, dozens of people were about to come up and pull his collar, until more than a dozen Taoist children next to him strictly stopped him, and these people were unwilling to gesture at him and walked to the last link.

Zhu Tianpeng shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he couldn't hold on to such a simple test, what kind of Tao could he cultivate?

A Taoist in the room in the courtyard nodded, and drew a circle on Wu Peng's name, this test is indeed simple, it only takes time, but it can be completed under the interference of so many people, it is extremely difficult.

When I came to a lobby, there were three ancient paintings hanging on the wall, the one on the left was a painting of a martial artist watching two children playing, the middle one was a picture of an old man sleeping under a tree, and the one on the right was a man riding a horse, followed by many soldiers, majestic.

Everyone was asked to write down what they saw within an hour, and they were not allowed to discuss it with each other.

More than 100 people poured into the lobby at the same time, and it was suddenly a little crowded, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was hungry, but they still endured their temperament and observed carefully.

The figures in the portraits, the folds of the clothes, and even the compositional structure have all been looked at and seen, scrutinized and scrutinized.

Some people ponder and can't figure out why, some people suddenly look happy and think they have realized the mystery, and some people have the same face as usual, not knowing what they are thinking.

From a little identification in the paintings, Zhu Tianpeng can see that the martial artist, the old man and the general are really the same person, but they are in different periods, and in his opinion, the three paintings all have a kind of joy.

The joy of family when he was a martial artist, the joy of majesty when he was a general, and the joy of comfort when he was old, but if you look closely, the layout of the three paintings seems to form three words, which are truth, goodness, and beauty, which is exactly the idea preached by Taoism

Could it be that? Zhu Tianpeng looked up and down a few times, but did not see anything more.

The long-term use of his eyes made his eyes a little dry, so he simply closed his eyes and rested for a while.

When I opened my eyes again, I glanced at them casually and found that these three paintings seemed to have other charms.

Zhu Tianpeng seemed to feel a little familiar, carefully savoring the charm of these three paintings, he suddenly felt a little sudden, this feeling was quite similar to when he first visualized the stone statue, but it was not as vast.

He jumped out of the content of the three paintings, only felt the lines, a state of mind slowly born in his heart, this feeling is......

Zhu Tianpeng experienced it with his heart, every time he felt that he was about to touch the edge, but he felt a little bit worse, time passed minute by minute, he sighed, and said in his heart:

"I can't do it!"

Suddenly, there was a clever person in my mind, and Wu Wei was Wu Wei? This Wu Wei was not doing nothing, not having no quarrel with the world, but following the rules of heaven and earth, doing nothing and doing nothing.

Zhu Tianpeng looked at the painting again, this idea was even more firm, maybe a thousand people have a thousand ideas, but for him, this is the truth at this time.

When the time was over, Zhu Tianpeng handed in his answer and walked out with everyone.

Maybe it was because I used too much energy, and after going out, everyone scattered and went to eat separately.

Such tests are carried out every day, but the results are announced once a month, but fortunately, it is already the end of the month, so there is no need to wait too long.

After returning to the hotel where he was temporarily staying, Zhu Tianpeng dialed the phone and asked the captain to help ask about the master's situation, but the captain said that it was difficult, and when it came to disputes within the sect, the bureau would naturally avoid it and was unwilling to participate in it.

For a few days, Zhu Tianpeng spent a few days in the hotel, his cultivation level had been stuck at the ninth layer of qi refining, although it was easy to break through with merit, but he always felt that such a critical breakthrough was better on his own.

In the quiet night, in the Taoist temple on Hulong Mountain, several Taoist priests were looking at the answers of the testers in the last link.

Although these three paintings have always been taken, because they are not allowed to be photographed, no matter how advanced the information is nowadays, they cannot understand the meaning of the paintings, so there is no suspicion of fraud.

"Bullshit!" one of the chiefs tore a piece of paper to shreds, while the other looked at an answer sheet and was angry.

"Senior brother, most of this is nonsense, don't be angry, it has no meaning as a joke.

Look at this, it's about the father who raised two sons, regardless of Lao Tzu, so Lao Tzu got angry and slept under the tree, and the grandson was very angry, and came back as a general, glorifying his ancestors.

If we have such a talent, we will definitely be described very wonderfully. ”

The rest of the Taoist leaders laughed and talked about the strange answers they had seen.

Laughing and laughing, a Taoist picked up Zhu Tianpeng's answer.

"The struggle of inaction, conform to the way of heaven, and fight for everything! Tsk, tsk, tsk, this has some meaning. ”

When several people heard his words, they immediately gathered around, looked at the sonorous and powerful font, tasted the content on it, and blurted out the word "good" from the mouth of the Taoist chief next to him.

The other Taoist suddenly thought of something and exclaimed:

"How is this possible, it was the founding patriarch who painted these three paintings, and I remember that there was a record that after he painted these three paintings, he blurted out these twelve words, not a single word is bad. ”

The other Taoist was skeptical:

"Could it be that someone leaked this secret?"

"Impossible!" several Dao Masters said at the same time, and all the people in the sect who knew the secret of this painting had sworn that if the secret was leaked, it would definitely damage the Dao heart, and the gains outweighed the losses.

For thousands of years, countless people have seen these three paintings when they enter the door, but this is the first time that such a strange situation has appeared.

"Could it be that there is a demon like the founder of the mountain?" said a Taoist leader.

The other Dao Master shook his head, his words with rebuttal.

"How is it possible? At that time, the founding patriarch painted these three paintings after cultivating to the great achievement, and now these people who want to get started are stipulated to be under the age of thirty, how can they realize this, I think nine times out of ten they are blind, after all, now that the Internet is developed, what kind of words will appear. ”

The others also nodded, all thinking that this was the case, since they were determined to be blind, the results naturally could not be counted, so they gave a bad review.

When the time came, thousands of people came to the school, waiting for the results to be posted.

At nine o'clock in the morning, more than a dozen Taoist priests finally squeezed into the crowd and posted yellow paper with people's names written on the wall.

The Hulong Taoist sect recruits disciples into three categories, the first type is the superior qualifications, such disciples do not need any cost, and will also get the focus of the sect's training, this kind of disciples are very few, every month is a single digit.

The second type is the capital of Zhongcheng, which needs to be handed over to the sect every year with 100,000 dragon coins, and the sect shows that its cultivation is progressing quickly and slowly and will be cultivated as appropriate in combination with various circumstances such as character;

The third category is mediocre assets, which need to pay hundreds of thousands of dragon coins every year, and such people can also succeed if they have great perseverance, but it is difficult to find one among ten thousand.
