Chapter Ninety-Five: Assessment
On the second day, Bian Ruoxuan rushed to the library a little early. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The elder was already waiting in the library building at this time, and when he saw her coming, he was probably happy to see her coming.
After explaining to her at least three times that she must cooperate with the plot of the performance after seeing the 'dead old man', the elder took her out of the library.
There are not many places in the family that Bian Ruoxuan has been to, and she doesn't have any idea of the direction the elder took her to, only that this side is the center of the family.
The elder's stride was relatively large, and Bian Ruoxuan could only follow at a trot, and by the time he reached his destination, he was already panting slightly.
This is an open yard, and there is a small pond in the courtyard, and there are three fish swimming in the pond.
Bian Ruoxuan really didn't have much research on fish, but she could only see that this was an ornamental fish, with aura, but it had not yet reached the category of demon beasts.
There are also several aquatic elixirs planted in the pool, the grade is not high, only one product, and the practical value is not strong, probably the same nature as the swimming fish in this pool.
There was a pavilion by the pool, and the elder didn't see her, and took her directly to the pavilion.
The elder unceremoniously sat down on the main seat on one side, and then motioned for Bian Ruoxuan to sit beside him.
Bian Ruoxuan asked softly, "Elder, didn't you say that you would 'assess' me today?"
The elder looked at her with hatred: "You forgot what I said earlier, now you have to call me Master!"
Bian Ruoxuan immediately changed her words: "Then, Master, what are we doing here now?"
"Wait a minute, the dead old man and the few people watching the ceremony will come in a while. As he spoke, the elder took out a set of tea utensils and said, "Make a pot of tea for the teacher." ”
Bian Ruoxuan was speechless, this is just a master and apprentice who has been playing for a while, and calling her at this time is like calling her own apprentice.
However, she wasn't sure when the others would arrive, and in order not to help, she could only be an obedient apprentice now.
The script that the elder wrote for her was like this, first show her face in front of these individuals today, accept a round of apprenticeship, and then after a month or two, she will say that she has changed it on the grounds that she is not a child.
Originally, the script written by the elder for her probably didn't change this section, and it was only finished after worshipping the teacher.
However, Bian Ruoxuan's refusal of the formation is really resolute, these days in the library to sort out the books on the first floor, Fu, Dan, utensils, and even some miscellaneous notes, she will pick a few books to open and read for a while, only this time, she basically only sorted out according to the title of the book, and never opened it to read the content.
Since she doesn't like the formation so much, the elders won't force it anymore, the twisted melon is not sweet, and the forcibly accepted apprentice is even more likely to centrifuge with herself.
According to the elder, after knowing that he would not accept his granddaughter, the 'dead old man' would definitely often ask him how his apprentice was.
The elder himself is a person who doesn't like to make up stories, so it's better to just say that her apprentice is gone.
Bian Ruoxuan has always felt that something is wrong along the way, and now she is making tea, and the water vapor is steaming, and she finally remembers.
"Elder, you said that after I renovated, that one wouldn't use this as an excuse for you to continue to take his granddaughter as an apprentice?"
The elder stared at the tea leaves and said in an impatient tone: "I accepted you in front of so many people today, and I basically slapped him in the face on the spot, according to what I know about him, he is not so open-minded." ”
"And even if he gives up for his granddaughter, I'm not without a backhand. ”
"I finally made up my mind to accept apprentices, but the apprentices actually told me that I wanted to transfer to cultivation, and after such a huge blow, where did I have the heart to accept apprentices again. ”
Bian Ruoxuan's hand making tea stopped for a moment, how could she think that the elder was accusing her?
After the tea was brewed, the elder had only tasted a few sips, and someone pushed the door at the gate of the courtyard and walked in.
Bian Ruoxuan took a look and found that there were several people wearing elder clothes in front of her, some middle-aged and some old-looking.
This was probably the audience of the play she and the elder were arranged, and she quickly got up from her seat and stood behind the elder.
When the group approached, she found that there was a person behind her, a seven or eight-year-old girl.
This person is probably the granddaughter of the elder.
"Apprentice, ask the uncles and uncles. When the group entered the pavilion and sat down, the elder put down the teacup and commanded.
Bian Ruoxuan did as she said, she didn't know any of the elders in this line, so naturally she was instructed by the elders to do what they did.
"Disciple Bian Ruoxuan, I have seen all the uncles and uncles. ”
A few of them nodded at her in a friendly manner, but others had cold faces and didn't react.
The one who came to the elder that time said coldly: "Now I will call Uncle Master? Your master has approved, but we have not recognized it." ”
The elder immediately shot back: "I will accept my apprentices, I will preach and I teach, and I still need your consent." ”
After choking a sentence, the elder turned around and continued to command Bian Ruoxuan: "Apprentice, show tea to your uncles and uncles." ”
Bian Ruoxuan was about to leave, but the one immediately refused: "Bian Youqi, you are the only one here guarding a library for leisure, we are all very busy, and we don't have time to drink tea here." You showed us what kind of unborn genius your apprentice was, and we were all right. ”
The elder was not very angry: "Since you Uncle Youtang don't want to drink, you can't brew it all over." ”
Bian Ruoxuan put down the teapot and stood behind the elder again.
"Whether this apprentice of mine is a genius or not, I naturally know better than you, let's talk about it, what do you want to think. ”
The Elder Youtang didn't speak, but a middle-aged, rather kind-looking elder spoke first: "Brother Youqi, the level of your apprentice, I'm afraid you don't count it." ”
"That's it, I see that my nephew is not very old, and although his cultivation has reached the third level of Qi cultivation, he has just broken through. However, since he is a senior disciple of Brother Youqi, this foundation is naturally solid, I don't know how many formation diagrams my master and nephew have roughly mastered now?"
The assessment is coming, and the elder gestures to Bian Ruoxuan, meaning to act according to the plan.
"Apprentice, then you can simply tell you Uncle Youyan to listen. ”
Bian Ruoxuan rubbed the back of her neck and replied, "Yes, master." Returning to the master, the disciple is dull, and now he can only memorize fifty-eight kinds of formation diagrams, all of which are first-order array diagrams. They are the water diversion array, the wind calling array, and the cloud driving array......"
After reciting the names of these fifty-eight formations, Bian Ruoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then she felt a little thirsty.
"Master, can I drink some water?"
The elder glared back at her, "Drink, drink." ”
As she was drinking, one of the elders sitting there raised a questioning voice: "Senior nephew, just know how to memorize a name, but it is not called a rough grasp, you may introduce a few more to us?"
Bian Ruoxuan put down the teacup and replied: "This is naturally possible, I don't know which one you want to hear from your nephew?"
The elder picked one at random, and since Bian Ruoxuan said the names of these fifty-eight kinds, naturally she would not just memorize one name, and the elder grabbed her back in those days, and it was not in vain.
After detailing the purpose, characteristics, weaknesses, and so on of this array diagram, the elder nodded in satisfaction.
"Brother Youqi didn't accept apprentices before, I thought it was Brother Youqi who was not good at teaching, but when I saw it today, I knew that I wanted to fork it, Brother Youqi had a lot of experience in training disciples. ”
The elder said lightly: "Passing the award, this is also my cleverness, if I change to a pig, I can't teach even if I have the ability." ”
"Senior nephew, I don't know if Brother Youqi can teach you the sketches of these formation diagrams?"
Bian Ruoxuan nodded: "The master said that it is useless to know what a formation diagram is, and the drawing of this sketch is naturally taught to the disciples." The disciples just mentioned the fifty-eight kinds of formation diagrams, and the disciples all know how to sketch them. ”
"Oh, in that case, then I'll pick two, and you can draw them on the spot, how about it?"
The elder thought for a few breaths, discussed a few words with the one sitting next to him, and picked two for Bian Ruoxuan.
Bian Ruoxuan understood as soon as she heard it, this person must not be in the same group as Elder Youqi, and the one she picked was almost the most complicated of the fifty-eight formations, and it was estimated that she had to see what he was thinking about.
But she won't have any psychological pressure because of this, since she remembers, it won't be so easy to forget for a while.
After passing the elders, Bian Ruoxuan sat down next to the stone table in the pavilion, first wiped the stone table, and then checked it again, and after confirming that there were no potholes on the stone table, he took out a pen and paper and prepared to draw these two formations.
"Brother Youqi, you are so young that you don't even need a ruler to draw sketches?"
"Don't you know when she's done?"
As she spoke, Bian Ruoxuan had already begun to draw on the Jialan paper, she had drawn these array diagrams more than once under the supervision of the elders, and after she went back last night, in order to ensure her memory, she had drawn them one by one, and she was naturally handy at this time.
Halfway through the painting, she felt that someone was standing behind her one after another to observe her pen movements, and after experiencing the high standards and strict requirements of the elders, standing behind her and the like would not affect her performance at all.
After drawing one of them at her usual pace, she got up and asked, "Elder, do you want the disciple to review the two paintings after they are finished, or do you check the one that the disciple has drawn first?"
The elder didn't reply, and the one in his hand had already been taken.
Only then did she look back at the true face of the person behind her, it turned out to be Elder Youtang.
However, according to Elder Youqi, didn't this Elder Youtang know nothing about the formation, so he would think of giving his granddaughter to others as an apprentice.
Since he doesn't understand the formation, can this person really see what is not famous?
Seeing that she was still standing still, Elder Youqi urged her: "Apprentice, since your Uncle Youtang has already started to check your formation diagram, you can continue to draw the next one." ”
"But ah, your Uncle Youtang is not good at formations, don't listen to what he says, it is very important to lay a solid foundation in the early stage, and there is no room for mistakes, everything is still according to what I taught at the beginning. ”
Bian Ruoxuan's hand, who had already started to write, shook slightly, and the one behind her was obviously panting after hearing this sentence, so that she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
Halfway through the painting in her hand, this Elder Youtang probably knew that he couldn't see any fame, so he handed the sketch she had drawn earlier to the elder who had picked out the formation diagram for her to draw.
Bian Ruoxuan quickly finished painting this one in her hand, she felt that her performance was quite stable, even if there was a mistake, it was only a small flaw, and it would definitely not affect the stability of the entire formation.
After handing over this array diagram to the elder for inspection, Bian Ruoxuan retreated behind the oil and gas elder.
That elder had probably achieved something in the formation, and the inspection was fast.
After handing the formation diagram back to Elder Youqi, he only said one sentence: "Brother Youqi, you are really attentive to this disciple. ”
Bian Ruoxuan moved her wrist a few times, which probably meant that she recognized it.
The first two levels have passed, and this last level is probably for her to carve the array disk.
She had tried it once yesterday, and the carving of this array was really different from the drawing of the talisman, and she remembered that when she first successfully drew the first talisman, the success rate was still terrible low.
But she had only succeeded in carving one under the supervision of the elders, and it was still carved incoherently.
When she experimented on her own yesterday, she was already able to achieve coherent engraving after only a dozen experiments, and this did not seem to be an accidental phenomenon.
Therefore, she is going to carve a coherent try today, anyway, under the teaching of the elders, she is more proficient in the technique of breaking in time if she feels wrong.
Those who should come are still coming, and this time it was Elder Youtang who spoke.
"Although I am not good at formations, I also know that this formation is to pay attention to practice, know what the formation map is, what it looks like, and I can't do formation cultivation. I think this nephew also has three layers of qi training, compared to Brother Youqi, he must have taught his nephew how to carve the array plate. ”
The elder made himself a new cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Apprentice, since you ask for it, you will give you a hand from Master Youtang." ”
Bian Ruoxuan responded, and then asked: "Uncle Youtang, the disciple is blunt, and the cultivation has only recently reached the third level of Qi training, which you must also know, the disciple can only grasp the successful carving of the water diversion array." ”
Elder Youtang didn't speak, and another elder who looked like he was in his twilight years smiled and said, "Since you have a lot of experience with this water diversion array, let's carve this water diversion array." ”
Bian Ruoxuan glanced at Elder Youqi, and after finding that the other party also recognized, she took out the array plate and began the formal engraving.
She also knows that the previous ones were petty fights, but now they are the main dishes.
She had prepared several sketches of the water diversion array yesterday, but by this time, she was not going to take out any of them and use them.
She thinks that sometimes, she still has to take on a challenge for herself, since she has been able to draw coherently, and the success rate is still passable, it is better to take another gamble today and try to draw directly without sketching.
Regardless of whether the elders would accuse her of this adventure, she wanted to give an explanation to her former self, but she also forgot about one of her own knots.
She wanted to tell her former self that after having someone to guide her, she could successfully carve the array plate without sketching.
