Chapter 43: Eliminate Geniuses

"The martial hall master is so strong, could it be that he wants to destroy the sect and recruit new people?" Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the martial arts master of the precept hall heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately took the coercion, landed on the ground, and said back: "The hat is too big, Wu can't wear it." I just heard that someone forced Wu to accept apprentices, so I came to ask whose idea it was. ”

Jin Hong Daojun reminded in time for good intentions. If you wait for the death of a few newcomers to build the foundation before mentioning it, then you are wearing a hat. Yuankui Zhenjun said. After hearing this, Lu Linlan finally knew the Dao number of the Yuan Ying who spoke earlier.

"Yes, if you want to be a little open, be generous, and don't always think that others are violating the law. Jin Hong Daojun said. The law here refers only to the rules and precepts.

The master of the martial hall did not mention this stubble: "Ha, is there a mistake in Wu's news?

"That's the case. In the second level of building a foundation and recruiting a new one, there are different opinions on the way of the competition, and they can't hold each other. After deliberation among the elders, it was decided to appoint an unrelated person, that is, the new disciple, to preside over the second level of the competition," Jin Hong Daojun said unhurriedly, "The Martial Hall Master must also be able to understand, and if he does something, he should be rewarded." Let the martial hall master accept her as a disciple, which is the reward. ”

Yuankui Zhenjun didn't wait for the martial hall master to answer, and hurriedly said: "The martial hall master asked whose idea it was, I'm sorry, it's Jinhong Daojun and Yan," it turns out that Yuankui Zhenjun's surname is Yan, "The two of us spoke in unison, and took the lead in putting forward the suggestion of letting the martial hall master accept apprentices." Then the elders agreed. In the end, Xuancheng was informed of the real person, and the real person did not object. ”

At this point, Lu Linlan heard that there were so many Yuan Ying, but there were not many of them. The heaviest weight should be the martial hall master. followed by Yuankui Daojun and Jinhong Daojun. The rest of the Yuanying elders are all soy sauce.

"You mean, it's the girl?" asked the martial arts master.

Sure enough, Yuankui Daojun and Jinhong Daojun made the martial hall master give up asking who forced him to accept apprentices, and instead found fault with himself.

"Exactly!" said Yuan Kui Daojun nodded.

The martial arts master looked at Lu Linlan and felt that she was decent, and the whole person was equivalent to a footnote to the golden mean. This feeling is a bit like a politician in the mortal world, which makes the martial hall master feel a little unhappy in his heart.

In fact, no matter whether the martial master likes it or not, he always has to find a reason to express his dislike. For he could not take disciples, especially during this time. As for the reason why the apprentices cannot be accepted, it is complicated, so let's not talk about it for the time being.

Jin Hong Daojun guessed that the Martial Hall Master was about to belittle Lu Linlan in order to refuse to accept the apprentice, so he said, "Martial Hall Master," he shouted, in order to interrupt the Martial Hall Master's train of thought, "Just now, this disciple has already presided over the second level of the foundation building recruitment competition. The elders unanimously agreed that from the process to the result, it was completely true and effective, and no favoritism or malpractice was found. At the same time, the disciple also won the competition. The last sentence was handed to the Martial Hall Master. I hope that the martial hall master will make trouble here. That is, to ignore the big picture and throw out the small place.

The martial hall master is also an old guy who has lived for a thousand years, and he will not be easily fooled. decisively ignored the question of whether Lu Linlan cheated when he won. But if you want to find another flaw, it seems that there is a bit of insufficient information. Therefore, there was only silence at the moment, and there was no speech.

The young people on the stage went from arguing loudly, to discussing in a low voice, and then to saying a word, and being silent for a while. The more than 300 foundation building disciples in the audience who had been eliminated couldn't wait, so they instigated a few people to speak and ask.

"The seniors on stage are all right. Isn't it time to explain the competition?"

"Yes, since all the seniors have calmed down, it's time to give us an explanation. ”

"If you're not done, there's still time after we're out. ”

"Ahem!" Yuan Kui Daojun stood up, "On the road of cultivating immortals, cultivation, combat skills, pills, magic weapons, and even spirit stones, etc., are all very important. But it is undeniable that luck always dominates our destiny. Therefore, in the second level just now, the test is luck. Eliminated disciples, don't be discouraged. After you go back, as long as you do more good deeds and accumulate luck, you will still have a chance in the future!"

This kind of explanation is equivalent to "Do you want to ask why you were eliminated?" and tell you that it is because you have a bad personality. As a result, there was a buzz from the audience.

I believe that if there is no Yuanying on the stage, only Jin Dan, it will not be a buzz, but a crowd of excitement and boiling.

"Hah! When I looked at it, I saw those brands, "It's those brands, by the way, grab a handful, catch it, and pass the test; if you don't catch it, you will be eliminated?" Is this luck or child's play?"

――

"I thought I had no right to speak, because you were all primordial babies, and I was just building the foundation, and when I spoke, I was killed by you if I was not careful. But?-" At this turn, Lu Linlan paused, "I have to say, without understanding, I really have no right to speak." I didn't expect that the martial hall master of the precept hall would take it for granted and say the words 'catch a handful to pass the test', and I didn't expect that the martial hall master would take his assumptions for granted as evidence and question me. If it's an ordinary person, it's okay, after all, not everyone is as strict with themselves as I am. But the martial hall master is different, you are the precept hall master. The precept hall is a place where justice is presided. With such a low quality, he actually stole the position of the master of the Discipline Hall, and did not resign from his position quickly, are you going to wait for the sect to remove you!"

Lu Linlan's words were directly-for-tat, without any politeness. Therefore, the details of claiming to be me and not a junior are no longer wrong. When it comes to-for-tat, it is also called a junior, and the momentum is inevitably insufficient.

These words will anger the Martial Hall Master, for sure. The martial hall master can't do anything because of this, it's also for sure. Because at this time, Lu Linlan was maintained by a group of Yuanying elders.

As for whether the martial hall master will settle accounts with Lu Linlan afterwards, it is another trivial matter. Because Lu Linlan is successful, she can make the martial hall master appreciate her when she talks about it. I appreciate it all, why do you still hold a grudge.

"This ...... This is not ......" What the martial hall master wanted to say was that he was not taking it for granted, and was completely misled by the "luck" mentioned by Yuan Kui Daojun. Since the competition is a test of luck, then, no matter which method, isn't it almost the same as "grabbing a handful to pass the test"?

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient!" was the one who spoke, Yuan Kui Daojun. On the one hand, it was to protect Lu Linlan and avoid the martial arts master's anger, on the other hand, Yuan Kui Daojun heard the meaning of Lu Linlan's words, and it seemed that the test was not luck. I just said that the competition was lucky, and I felt a little slapped in the face. Therefore, you must not retreat, you must show modesty.

Yuan Kui Daojun continued: "To be honest, the competition in the second level just now is very mysterious. Old man, I didn't fully understand it, "Yes, admitting that I didn't understand it, I can avoid being slapped in the face," It's better to let the specific host, the new disciple Lu Linlan, explain it! Oh yes, Lu Linlan, the martial arts master is one step behind, and he doesn't understand the rules in front, so it's better to work hard for you and talk about the previous rules together." ”

Lu Linlan immediately bowed deeply to Yuankui Daojun. It means that it is still a fist salute, but the body leans forward sharply, as if it is a gesture, close to 90 degrees. said, "Disciple commands!" As soon as he turned around, he also saluted the martial hall master. The posture of the hands remained the same, but the body leaned back slightly, showing contempt. said: "Please listen carefully to the martial arts master, don't take it out of context!"

Little cub! When did I take it out of context! But before the martial hall master had time to say anything, Lu Linlan turned to face the foundation disciples in the audience.

――

My name is Lu Linlan, I am from the far north, and like you, I am here to take the exam. was accidentally selected by the elders to preside over the second level of the competition. I'm myself, and I'm in it. Whether I cheated or not, and what exactly this competition is, after I finish speaking, I believe everyone will understand.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Since the martial hall master is one step late, we have to review the rules of the competition.

"Each person has a sign, and the sign is filled with spiritual power to identify identity, and a ban is placed to prevent others from detecting, etc., so I won't mention that. The important thing is to choose any number from zero to ninety-nine and engrave it on the sign. If you can't pass the test, it depends on the number engraved on the brand.

"How do we get through? We made the rules clear beforehand. It is to add up the numbers on all the cards that have been collected, and then average, and then two-thirds to get the standard number. The closer to that number, the priority is to pass the test, and finally, to pass the level of 200 people, that is, the competition is completed.

"Martial Hall Master, did you hear clearly?"

The martial hall master was stunned for a moment. Listen, naturally, I heard clearly. However, although he heard it clearly, he didn't understand what Lu Linlan said. I want to refute it, but I can't find a reason. Because although I don't understand it, I always feel that there is a trap in it. Translated into Internet slang, it is: unconscious.

"Hear me clearly. This sentence has to be said, and after the martial hall master hesitated, he still said it.

Lu Linlan asked, "Then Hall Master Lu, if you are also involved, what are the numbers you are going to engrave?"

The martial hall master was a step late, and he didn't know the standard number of clearances that had been counted, so he immediately wanted to refuse to answer. But after thinking about it again, even if Lu Linlan didn't ask, according to human nature, bystanders would meditate on a number substitution for the competition. The martial hall master glanced at the other Yuan Babies on the stage, that is, the other bystanders who had meditated on the digital substitution competition, and immediately became bold. Say, "Fifty-two!"

is so justified because the martial hall master believes that Lu Linlan has not asked other Yuan Infants, and no one in the other Yuan Babies has the face to take the initiative to say it. In this case, even if you lose your numbers, it is nothing.

――

Lu Linlan turned to face the audience: "I'll continue to explain." From zero to ninety-nine, we ask for any number to be engraved on the sign. If this is the end of the story, without the following total average of two-thirds, then it is impossible to say what number each person will engrave. That is, from zero to ninety-nine, the chances of each number being picked are equally great. If that's the case, after everyone hands in the sign, the average number should be around fifty. Think about it, isn't that so?"

This truth is not profound. But Lu Linlan still paused for a minute or so before continuing: "Okay, let's continue." We know that there is not only a total average, but also two-thirds. As we said earlier, if there is no two-thirds constraint, the total average should be around fifty. What about two-thirds of the restraints? What is two-thirds of fifty? Two-thirds of fifty is thirty-three.

"Okay, let's all carve thirty-three. As a result, the total average also changed, becoming thirty-three. The winner was two-thirds of the thirty-three, that is, twenty-two.

"Okay, let's all carve it into twenty-two. As a result, the total average will still change and become twenty-two. The winner was two-thirds of the twenty-two, or fifteen.

"Keep the cycle going, and the result is ten, seven, five, three, two, one, and finally zero. ”

"Now pause," as she spoke, Lu Linlan turned around and asked, "Martial Hall Master, after listening to the explanation of the rules just now, do you still insist on fifty-two?"

At this time, the martial hall master felt that Lu Linlan was not torturing his mind, but testing his own intelligence. So it took more than ten seconds to think for a while, and replied: "I choose eighteen!"

Lu Linlan nodded, then turned around and faced the audience to build the foundation. said: "On the road to cultivating immortals, the most important thing is to cultivate. But as we all know, it is not the cultivation itself that determines the level of cultivation, but the mind. Therefore, this second level is the test of the mind.

"Is it really a test of the mind?

"I'll start with zero. This kind of person is indulged in the infinite exhaustion of the search for the truth of things, and indulges in the pleasure of understanding the world. But it's a pity that in reality, there are not many people who think one step more than ordinary people, people who think two more steps are rare, and people who think a few more steps to reach the final realm of zero can be said to be not at all. I can only sigh softly, they are geniuses, but they can't get through it.

"So, it's the nature of the mind that decides, they can't get through it. ”

"I don't know if you've noticed, but in the end, after we calculated the standard number, the number of places to pass was screened by the degree close to the standard number. In other words, the identified passers are not just a number, but a range. Approaching a number, on the other hand, has two directions. Suppose the standard number is two, and the end range is four. Then, the zero one in front and the three or four in the back can all pass.

That is to say, the numbers adjacent to zero, five-four-three-two-one, are all better than zero, and the chance of passing the test is greater. However, the results showed that there were 165 people who chose zero!

What does this mean? It shows that when they pick zero, they know that they can't pass the test. In this near-suicidal way, they are going to declare to the world: 'I gave up just because I was a genius.'" ’

"If the genius's idea has the opportunity to spread to everyone involved, and everyone understands and follows the genius's choice, maybe the genius will have a chance to win. But it's a pity that let ordinary people understand genius has never existed since ancient times. So geniuses are basically poor.

"So, we we've eliminated the one hundred and sixty-five people who have genius hearts. ”
