Chapter 6, Talent Test
Chapter 6, Talent Test
Sifang Village, Qinglian Sect selects talents.
The sky was gray, and a group of children gathered in a large clearing in the village, nervous expressions on their faces, and the children looked at their parents in the distance from time to time. In front of the children stood four adults wearing Taoist robes, all of which were painted with a blue lotus flower.
"Everyone gathered here today, I guess your parents have told you what happened..."At this time, one of the old men in Taoist robes stood up,
'Wow, wow, wow, ah, ah, I'm going home' before a child started crying. At this time, the man who was interrupted waved his hand with a disgusted expression, and a man in a Taoist robe behind him walked over to coax the child, and the little one standing next to the child who was crying so badly unconsciously ignored him a little farther away, and several children covered their mouths and laughed secretly,
"Cowards," the bolder kids laughed
At this time, the man walked up to the child, the other children were surprisingly quiet, the jokes before seemed to have not happened, the man stretched out his hand and touched the head of the crying child, and kept saying, "Good, good!" Touching the child's hand flashed an imperceptible red light.
I don't know if the man's words worked, the child stopped crying and stood quietly in the crowd, the man turned to look at the old man and nodded to the old man, the old man had an impatient expression, and then the man walked behind the old man side by side with the other two.
A couple in the crowd looked at the actions of the man in the Taoist robe in the field, the man's hand holding his wife unconsciously increased his strength, his eyes flashed with fierceness, and he turned his eyes to look at the old man in the Taoist robe.
The old man in the Taoist robe looked at the children in the field, and swept the crowd in the distance, and said, "Old man Ouyang Mu, from the Qinglian Sect, today's talent measurement is presided over by the old man. Today is the day to measure your talents, and those with outstanding talents will be able to enter the Blue Lotus Sect to study, so today here will also determine your future fate. β
"Okay, let's get started. Ouyang Qi, you come to operate" After speaking, he walked to the chair behind him and sat up. A black-faced man who was originally behind him walked up to the stage, "Now the one who reads the name walks in front of me, dripping blood in the magic stone" After speaking, he pointed to a black stone next to him.
"Zhang Gefu"
A child who was called began to walk in front of the black-faced man, there was a sharp knife on the table, the black-faced man picked up the knife with one hand, grabbed the child's hand with the other, and quickly slashed the child's middle finger, the black-faced man's wrist was forced, and the blood dripped on the black stone, and then regardless of the child, his eyes stared straight at the stone, and after looking at it for a while, the black-faced man asked the child to go down and called another child to come up, and this process went on and on, and the black-faced man looked at the black stone carefully every time, as if looking for some changeγ
When the twenty-third child finally changed, and when the blood of the twenty-third child dripped on the stone, the stone rose with red steam, as if the blood was hot water, and the surface of the stone was boiling. The black-faced man showed a subtle smile, turned to look at the sitting man, and after seeing the man's nod, he turned back and asked the child, "What's your name?"
"Zhang Da Niu"
The black-faced man nodded, picked up the pen next to him and wrote down the name and waved his hand to let the child go down, seeing that his expression seemed to be very satisfied, and his face didn't seem to be so dark, and then everyone continued to drip blood on the black stone, during which there were also a few people who satisfied the black-faced man and asked for his name
At this time, it was the turn of the child who cried without the test just now, only to see the child slowly walk up, this time the test was completed very cooperatively, the child's blood just dripped, the black stone came out of the red vapor, and the red vapor was mixed with a faint purple vapor, but the purple vapor disappeared quickly.
"Hey, what's your name," the old man in the robe who was sitting in the chair asked.
"Ji'an" The child who was just about to go down turned around and said, and then walked down quietly.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the test was completed, and the black-faced man would carefully observe and register every time, and after the test was completed, the rest of the children were picked up by their parents, leaving only 13 children in the center of the field, and of course the child named Ji An was also inside.
"Today, there are actually 13 children in our village who have been elected to the Blue Lotus Sect, see what the Blue Lotus Sect will reward this year" Every year, the Blue Lotus Sect will give a certain reward according to the number of people selected to strengthen these villages.
"I didn't expect Ji An to be selected, that little kid cries all day long, but it's a pity that Erniu's kid was able to follow his father into the mountains to hunt last year, but I didn't expect to be selected by the Qinglian Sect this time."
"Quiet, the results of today's talent test are out, and those who have passed the test are the 13 people you present, give you three days to prepare, and follow the old man back to the Qinglian Sect after 3 days. β
"In addition, there are more children in your Sifang Village who have passed the test this time than before, and this time the reward is a cub of the Green Shadow Wolf. β
Ouyang Qi, the black-faced man next to "Uncle Shi", was just about to speak, but was stopped by the old man's raised hand.
I don't know where the old man took it out, and an oval egg appeared in the old man's hand. After handing over the eggs of the monster cubs to the village chief, he left, and three other men in Taoist robes followed the old man.
"Thank you very much for the reward of the Qinglian Sect, congratulations to Elder Ouyang" The village chief bent down and said to the old man's back, and after speaking, he raised his head and looked at the old man's back, and then looked at the cub of the green shadow wolf in his hand, thoughtfully.
"Even the newborn Green Shadow Wolf is a third-grade demonic beast, and it is extremely fast, I didn't expect the Blue Lotus Sect to reward a Green Shadow Wolf cub this time."
"The green shadow wolf's appetite is not small, it seems that he has to go into the mountains to hunt more"
"When the green shadow wolf reaches adulthood, the strength of our village will increase again"
"Okay, take the children back, and prepare to follow them into the Qinglian Sect to study in three days. The village chief said lightly.
"Wow wow wow wow wow wow I'm hungry" At this time, the child's cry sounded on the ground again,
"Hey, this kid Ji An is crying again, and he's gone."
Ji An's mother only saw her own child in front of her, and the surrounding discussion didn't seem to be heard, and she looked at the child dotingly,
"Well, let's go home for dinner"
Ji An's father glanced at the village chief, who seemed to want to say something to his lips, but swallowed it again. Pulling the wife next to him and the child turned around and walked step by step, until the backs of the three disappeared into the sunset.
This scene happened in many surrounding villages, and the Qinglian Sect would select gifted children to enter the Qinglian Sect every three years to study.
