Chapter 44: The Most Sympathetic Genius

Speaking of this, Lu Linlan stopped. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Stopping is to wait for praise, which is equivalent to "come to some applause" in the previous life. This is a slightly shameless move, but its importance is obvious.

Praise, or applause, has a herd mentality. The first, or the first, or the first, may be forced to do it. The second, or the second, or the second, will become a matter of course.

That's exactly what we're looking for. Lu Linlan stopped, and there was no one else in the field who wanted to speak. But if others don't say it, Lu Linlan won't say it either. If you want Lu Linlan to continue, you have to say something.

What do you say? You speak quickly, you accept it, why are you in a daze? Those things will naturally not work. Because here, there is a question of who asks whom.

What Lu Linlan said earlier was very clever, and it had already deeply attracted all the monks present, even including the one hundred and sixty-five foundation building monks who had chosen zero. At this time, everyone wanted to listen to Lu Linlan's next analysis. When Lu Linlan stopped talking, she needed to beg her to speak, instead of ordinary prayers or orders for her to speak.

"That's a great point!" The foundation building monks below were worse in cultivation and weaker in concentration, so they couldn't help but speak first.

"Yes, it's like the explanation of the Heavenly Dao, it's very inspiring. ”

"I said, if I hadn't thought about listening to Senior Sister Lu's speech on the stage, I would definitely have had an epiphany now!"

The next gossip is caused by the herd mentality.

The audience talked for a while, but Lu Linlan still didn't react. On the stage, Yuankui Daojun stood up: "I haven't seen such a scene for a long time." In the past, most of the people who were recruited and selected were indignant. Elder look, the audience was full of joy, and everyone was happy and convinced. Lu Linlan said it so well, even if it is not a direct commentary on the Heavenly Dao, he almost accepts the Heavenly Dao. ”

A Yuan Ying who Lu Linlan had never paid attention to stood up and said, "I feel the same way. I heard someone in the audience say just now that if I didn't want to listen to it, maybe I would have had an epiphany now. Although I didn't have an epiphany, I already felt that the bottleneck had loosened after listening to what I had just spoken. After listening to this, I immediately went into retreat and hit the middle stage. When the time comes, I won't greet you anymore. ”

"Congratulations to Tiansui Daojun!"

"Congratulations to Tiansui Daojun!"

"Congratulations!"

――

This time, after the voices of everyone on the stage gradually subsided, Lu Linlan spoke.

"Next, I'm going to talk about choosing people who have more than sixty-six numbers. This time, there are eighty-seven people who choose more than sixty-six numbers.

"Suppose everybody picks the highest number, which is ninety-nine. The average value after adding up is ninety-nine. What is two-thirds of ninety-nine? That's sixty-six. Therefore, no matter what number you choose, the final standard number must be less than sixty-six. Therefore, as long as you are a Taoist friend with a normal mind, calm and rational, the number you choose should be between zero and sixty-six.

But the strange thing is that in this competition, there are as many as eighty-seven Taoist friends who choose more than sixty-six numbers. Why is this? Does it mean that these 87 fellow Daoists are a little abnormal, not calm, or impulsive?

"Here, we need to recall. In normal times, in sects, in cities, and in all places where there are rules, are there many Taoist friends who do not carefully understand the rules? In fact, you don't need to think carefully to know that the answer is yes.

"This kind of Taoist friend regards rules as nothing, or there are no rules at all. They may have a good family background, or they may have a deep background, or they may have a good master, or they may have a good concubine. So, they do whatever they want and run amok. In their eyes, they are the center of the world, and all people and everything should cater to them. There is no need to restrain yourself to adapt to others.

"Just now, Yuan Kui Daojun said that the senior brothers and sisters in the audience are happy and convinced. Yes, just now. In other words, the geniuses who pick zeros are. They knew that they couldn't pass the test, so they broke the jar and chose zero, but then they failed to pass the test. After I explained, they knew that they couldn't pass the test because of the genius mentality. Although he lost, Bei'er had face, and he was still glorious despite defeat. That's why they're convinced.

"However, Daoists who choose more than sixty-six numbers will not be convinced. What's wrong with Lao Tzu's back? What's wrong with Lao Tzu's resources? Let me tell you, no. It's just that no sect will accept disciples who don't follow the rules. Martial Hall Master, is that so?"

Absolutely, definitely, absolutely. Others may have different opinions, but the master of the precept hall must be disgusted with those who do not follow the rules.

So the martial hall master said, "Not bad. Not only my Dongyuan sect, but even other slightly larger sects would not accept such disciples. Ahem!" After two fake coughs, he changed the tone of his conversation, "I didn't expect that such a simple number selection competition could eliminate an absolute part of the hidden dangers in advance." The method of the second level is great. The last three words seem to be a little lacking in the vocabulary of the martial arts master.

――

"Thank you, Martial Hall Master, for your encouragement," Lu Linlan turned to face the audience again: "What we are going to see below is the number between thirty-three and sixty-six." In this competition, there are forty-two Taoist friends who choose the numbers in this range. ”

"Forty-two, not a lot. However, such a choice does not make sense. Because there is no justifiable reason in favor of this option. Of course, in reality, there are always some people who will say unreasonable things and do unreasonable things.

"If I had to give an explanation for their actions, then I can guess that they had a gut feeling. Their gut feeling that the final standard parlay figure is likely to be small. How small it will be, they don't know. So they don't know which lower number to choose. In addition to being irritable, they do the opposite, simply choosing a larger number to increase the average. In the end, a number between thirty-three and sixty-six was chosen.

"They don't know how to choose, so they go to sabotage and increase the average, so that other Taoist friends who choose correctly will also fail. What kind of behavior is this? This kind of behavior is called 'stirring up trouble,' or 'harming others and not benefiting oneself.' I can't, I can't, I just can't.

"I have to say that there are very few such people. However, if there is such a Taoist friend among the friends around him, that day will definitely be unimaginable.

"For the sake of the atmosphere of pure disciples, in order to standardize the order of the sect, this part of the people will be eliminated. ”

――

This time, Lu Linlan only paused for about ten seconds, indicating that the decomposition of the previous part was finished.

"Now, let's talk about the Taoist friends who choose the number of about thirty-three.

"Thirty-three is a number, I think everyone remembers. By the way, if you don't have the rule of 2 out of 30, you can choose any number, and the average will be about 50. Thirty-three, that is, two-thirds of fifty.

"In this competition, there are about 33 Taoist friends, a total of 169 people.

"These 169 Daoists are the most normal and the most ordinary. After they understand the rules of the comparative test, they use their thinking to guide their actions. But they don't think too much. They are the majority of the immortal cultivators, and according to the kiss of the mortal world, they may also be said to be the toiling masses. In front of them, there are Zero, who leads the world, and Twenty-two, who move the world, and behind them, there are saboteurs, and there are self-centered reckless. And they who choose the number of about thirty-three are the foundation of this world of cultivating immortals.

"But it's a pity that the sect recruits new people, and what is needed is the elite. So, they were eliminated. ”

After saying thirty-three, Lu Linlan did not pause at all, and immediately continued:

"Next, here's the big thing. That's the number of about twenty-two.

"In this competition, the final standard passing number is twenty and eighty-five," the decimal point is pronounced as the word "and" in this world of cultivating immortals, "and two hundred people were finally hired, including eighteen to twenty-four, a total of seven numbers."

"Why is it theoretically twenty-two, but the actual standard figure is twenty and eighty-five? This is because, as long as it is true, as long as there is no prior agreement, there is always a gap between theory and reality.

That is to say, although the actual standard passing figure is twenty and eighty-five, in theory, this number is still twenty-two.

"Going back, let's talk about the Taoist friends who chose numbers in the range of eighteen to twenty-four. They also follow the rules, they also use their thinking to guide their actions, but they go one step further than the basics. No more, no less, just one step. So, they passed.

"Myself, I chose twenty-two, and naturally passed the test. ”

Turning to face the Martial Hall Master, "Just now, the Martial Hall Master chose eighteen, so he also passed the test." ”

That's right, the eighteen chosen by the martial arts master has passed. But the martial hall master himself remembered that it was his second choice. And the following foundation building disciples have no second chance to choose. Therefore, the martial hall master was full of black lines and did not dare to answer.

――

Lu Linlan didn't chase and fight wildly, but let go of the martial hall master and continued to speak to the foundation building disciples in the audience.

"In the end, all that remains is the number between one and seventeen. In this competition, there are ninety-one Taoist friends who choose the numbers between them.

"How can I say it? Or rather, what should I say about you? The Taoist friends who choose the numbers in between, have a little genius tendency, but they can't give up the desire to pass the test as dashing as the genius who chooses zero. They hope they can get through, but they overestimate the pace of public thinking.

"It's pitiful, because they will be rebuked by the geniuses who choose zero for being too utilitarian, and at the same time may be ridiculed by us who choose the number of twenty-two or so as being clever.

"Both sides pleased, both sides did not please them, they are the ones who are talking about it.

"Therefore, in this competition, they were eliminated similar to riding wall grass. ”

――

Lu Linlan finally said: "Regarding the truth contained in the second level of the competition, this is the end of the explanation. All in all, the second level is a test of the mind. Don't be discouraged by the eliminated Taoists. As long as we strengthen our self-cultivation and prevent the slightest deterioration, we will be able to improve our mental character.

"Finally, I would like to say a little emotionally. "The feelings are listed separately, but they are actually tentative. The explanation of the second level must be mentioned. Emotion can be talked about or not. From a general point of view, Lu Linlan actually does not have the qualifications to express her emotions on stage. That's why Lu Linlan tried it. If the Yuanying, including the Martial Hall Master, did not stop it, it would prove that his previous explanation had bluffed them, and at the same time, it would also prove that the previous words that offended the Martial Hall Master would be ignored.

He paused for five seconds, but no one stopped him. Lu Linlan began to express her feelings:

"Among the Taoist friends who were eliminated in this competition, in fact, the ones I sympathize with the most are those geniuses who chose zero.

"They understand the rules, but they don't understand people, and they figure it out themselves, and they think that others will figure it out too. Not only do they mistakenly ignore the existence of the masses who only think of thirty-three, but they also ignore the existence of those who do not think, or who do not act according to the rules. ”

Lu Linlan bowed, indicating that she was done with emotion. Then he took a few steps back to the side.

The emotion must be short. If you are stopped because the emotion is too long, you will lose the original intention of temptation.

――

What Lu Linlan said, for the top students in the previous life, there is no obstacle to understanding. But for the general public in front, it is still not so easy to understand.

Lu Linlan had read a lot of novels in her previous life, and she always shaped that the higher her cultivation, the more she would understand the truth. In this regard, Lu Linlan is opposed, just as he opposes that memory is equal to IQ and level.

Now it's the world of cultivating immortals. The foundation building and repairing ten in the audience were ignored. On the stage, there were more than a dozen infant monks. Their cultivation is much higher than that of Lu Linlan. But their minds are not as flexible as hers, and at the same time, they do not have compulsory education and higher education. Therefore, although Lu Linlan finished speaking in plain language, they still did not understand it all. They just feel so clever that they don't have a voice.

Therefore, after Lu Linlan retreated, the audience was quiet.

――

This is clearly not supposed to be.

Even if Lu Linlan presides over the second level, the second level itself still belongs to the sect. Therefore, it is necessary to have a sectarian leader to speak and arrange the next matters.

The first to wake up was the martial arts master. It is worthy of being the heaviest of all the yuan babies.

The martial hall master walked to the front of the platform, where Lu Linlan was standing just now, and said, "One hundred and sixty-five geniuses, which is actually only four people less than the one hundred and sixty-nine of the public who chose the number of about thirty-three. It's too much of a genius. ”

Lu Linlan on the side replied: "Yes, not only the martial hall master, but even Cangtian feels a little more." It is true that there are not many geniuses at the beginning, but in the years to come, the vast majority of geniuses will become mediocre and popular because they are cornered. ”

The Martial Hall Master was choked again, turned to face the audience and said, "This temporarily assigned disciple just now spoke very well. This seat is "a self-proclaimed face when low cultivation is a time, or a self-proclaimed when it is hostile." Usually the most self-proclaimed is "me", "I am very willing to accept this disciple as an apprentice." Presumably, no one ...... beforehand."

"It seems that Senior Sister Lu offended you just now!" a eliminated foundation building disciple in the audience interjected.

"Ha!" said the martial hall master, "I was offended then, but not now." In the Hall of Precepts, reason travels all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason. She had a point......

"Martial Hall Master, slow down!" Jin Hong Daojun also interrupted the Martial Hall Master's words, "Just now, the Martial Hall Master has expressed his unwillingness to accept disciples many times. Since they are the same family, how can they be reluctant? Therefore, the old man decided to ......"

"You're not lazy, aren't you?" the martial hall master was furious, "If you say yes, if I accept apprentices, I will accept apprentices." Why, now that I know that talents are rare, my eyes are red?"

"No, no, I'm not afraid of wronging the martial hall master!" Jin Hong Daojun hurriedly changed his words.

The martial hall master said: "Okay, the matter of accepting apprentices is decided, but this ...... What's your name Lu?" Jin Hong Daojun hurriedly said his name. The martial hall master continued, "Lu Linlan still has to go through the third level. After passing the third level, he can be regarded as a disciple of the Dongyuan faction. At that time, I will accept the disciples again, and only then will I be in order. ”

Yuankui Daojun also walked over: "Congratulations to the martial arts master for winning this good apprentice!"

The martial arts hall master cupped his fists and saluted in return, without saying much.

Yuan Kui Daojun shouted: "Xuan Cheng, you will arrange it next." ”

Xuan Cheng Zhenren, the head of the Jindan period, came over and arranged for the disciples of the foundation building period to leave the field and other related miscellaneous matters.
