Chapter 88 Assessment
Wei Mian followed Elder Bai's words and went out, and Jiang Luoan also took the opportunity to say goodbye.
That night, Jiang Luoan was packing his baggage in the room, and saw Su Chenyu coming over quietly.
Helping her clean up the sundries in the room, Su Chenyu said: "There are still some rules for entering the inner door, I'll tell you first, you make some preparations first." ”
Jiang Luoan nodded, "Say it, I'm listening." ”
Su Chenyu said: "If you want to enter the inner door, then you must at least select three people in the inner door to compete, and at least tie." ”
Jiang Luoan was a little puzzled, "Is this an assessment that every disciple who enters the inner gate has to conduct, why hasn't anyone told me?" ”
"They won't tell you in advance, they won't let you know until you're inside the inner door." Su Chenyu said: "There is still a secret here, do you want to know?" ”
Jiang Luoan urged: "You don't sell guanzi here, just say whatever you want." ”
Su Chenyu said: "In the past, the assessment of the inner door was informed in advance. But one year, a disciple learned about the use of this assessment method, and in order to pass the assessment successfully, he hired someone to injure several disciples in the inner gate in advance. ”
Jiang Luoan was speechless, "Isn't he afraid of being discovered by others doing this?" ”
Su Chenyu said: "Those disciples who were injured were all injured on the way to the mission, there were seven or eight people in total, and the person who hired the person only needed to select three people, so he didn't find out his tricks for a while." ”
"I see, no wonder there is now such a tight-lipped approach to this investigation."
Su Chenyu looked at her a little strangely: "It seems that you don't seem to be worried about this kind of assessment at all." The disciples of the inner gate are no more wasteful than those of the outer gate, and even the weakest ones can mostly compete with the masters of the outer gate. ”
Jiang Luoan said with a smile: "The assessment will be held soon, even if I am worried about what is the use, and there is no shortcut to take, it is better to hurry up and cultivate in the past few days." ”
Su Chenyu took her hand, "Who said there is no shortcut, do you remember the waterfall that took you to see at that time, you can get twice the result with half the effort by going there to absorb some spiritual power." ”
At the beginning, because Su Chenyu asked her for a kiss, Jiang Luoan didn't give it, so the spiritual power was not absorbed. The two haven't seen each other these days, so tonight is a good time.
After quickly sorting out his things, Jiang Luoan was pulled by Su Chenyu to the edge of the original waterfall.
The moonlight is even more beautiful tonight. Under Su Chenyu's protection, Jiang Luoan soon felt that his spiritual power was more abundant, and his spirit was much better.
After returning to her room and continuing to cultivate all night, her cultivation improved by a small level.
It wasn't until the next day that Jiang Luoan knew that it was not only the two of them who were going to participate in the inner door competition this time, but also Sanqi.
This is not surprising, Sanqi people are the number one disciples in the outer gate, and their strength is naturally not picked. He is not like two people who are equivalent to skipping a grade, although it can be regarded as an exceptional admission, but he does not have to participate in their assessment in the fairy grass garden.
When the three of them went to the inner gate together, Sanqi kept talking about his experience of going down the mountain with great interest.
Although the experience was indeed very exciting, there was always someone nagging in his ear, and Jiang Luoan still had a headache.
Thinking that there would be a competition for a while, she became a little upset.
Taking advantage of Sanqi's lack of attention, Jiang Luoan quietly took out a pair of earplugs from his arms and blocked his ears. The world finally cleared up, and Jiang Luo frowned comfortably.
Sanqi's mouth was still opening and closing, but she couldn't hear anything anymore. Jiang Luoan agreed from time to time, and perfunctorily responded with a few words, indicating that he was still listening.
Wei Mian didn't think of this good idea. Listening to Sanqi keep telling those things he saw, and seeing his elated appearance, Wei Mian almost fought with Sanqi.
In the end, it was the three elders who took them together to conduct the assessment.
When the disciples of the inner gate heard that three people had been admitted at one time this time, they gathered around to watch.
These people's cultivation is much better than that of the people in the fairy grass garden, and their quality is also higher, and they do not have any contempt because they have crossed the ranks, but they are eager to try and compete to be the first to challenge.
This assessment is limited to three incense sticks, and as long as you can tie with the three inner disciples, you can declare it a success.
Sanqi chooses to be the first to play. He didn't deliberately pick his opponents, but only randomly selected three from the people in front of him who wanted to take the initiative to challenge him.
It was only at this time that Jiang Luoan saw his true strength.
In less than two incense sticks, Sanqi had already challenged three different disciples separately, and all of them were declared victorious.
Wei Mian also saw that Sanqi had already shown mercy when he competed with himself. But he didn't worry too much about his strength.
The second to play was Wei Mian, and when he defeated the first two disciples, the time for the two incense sticks had quietly passed. When competing with the third person, the two of them fought for a while, and before the results could be distinguished, the third incense stick had already burned out.
So far, neither of them has been injured, and they are still evenly matched, and this game is considered a tie.
Seeing the wonderful assessment of the two people in front of them, the other inner disciples who did not play were even more eager to try, wanting to try the strength of the only girl among the three.
Jiang Luoan just wanted to pick out the three people by himself, when he saw the third elder suddenly step forward, "Miss Jiang, let the old man choose for you in this game." ”
Without waiting for Jiang Luo'an to speak, he took care of himself and selected three people from among these disciples.
After hearing his name read out, all the disciples were dumbfounded.
It wasn't that the third elder deliberately released the water, but that the people he selected were all extremely strong people in the inner gate who could complete the task even if they fought alone.
These three also wanted to compete with Jiang Luoan, but they were unwilling to choose this time. This is just an assessment for disciples who want to enter the inner gate, why bother others like this?
At this time, everyone could see that the three elders were deliberately making things difficult.
There are also people in the inner door who are indignant, thinking that one of these three people is just going to make a move, and the three of them want to go together, what a big hatred and hatred!
Jiang Luo'an didn't seem to know that the third elder was deliberately targeting her, so she agreed directly, "Since the elder has already chosen for me, then I naturally have nothing to say." ”
Glancing at the three people who came out, she said lightly: "The time for the three incense sticks is a little short, why don't you three go together." ”
There was an uproar all around, all discussing how the person in front of him was so ignorant of the sky, maybe he was really fearless.
Someone kindly wanted to persuade Jiang Luoan, but she still insisted on her opinion.
The third elder was eager to see Jiang Luo'an to make it more difficult for him, so he quickly agreed.
In order to show respect for their opponents, these three people will not deliberately let go of water, but they will also not be heavy-handed.
In the early stage of the competition, Jiang Luoan controlled her position and wandered in the gap between the attacks of the three people, like a light and fluttering cloud, seemingly weak and powerless, but it was true that no one could catch her.
The three of them also discovered Jiang Luo'an's path, and if the three of them went together, as long as she could persist until the end of the competition and not get injured, it would be considered a success.
It seems that this girl is not so stupid, the onlookers next to him thought to themselves.
Jiang Luo'an used the advantage of his body to dodge their attacks while observing when the incense burned out. When she saw that only a small half of incense was left, she finally took the initiative.
Instead of dodging, she flew head-on towards the attackers. It was just a long sword, but in her hand, it swung a posture that swallowed mountains and rivers.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the three elders quietly took out the hidden weapon from their sleeves and launched it towards Jiang Luo'an's back.
Jiang Luoan heard the sound of the hidden weapon breaking through the air behind her, she didn't turn around, she flashed to the side accurately, and the hidden weapon flew over grazing her clothes.
Despite the unrelenting interference of the three elders, Jiang Luoan still defeated the three people in front of him before the third incense burned out.
Wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, Jiang Luoan stood still in front of the Third Elder with his sword, "Third Elder, I'm just a small outer disciple, why did the Elder target me so deliberately?" ”
Who could not see the thoughts of the three elders present? Whether it was deliberately choosing a difficult opponent for her, or a hidden weapon that suddenly appeared in the field, it all showed the malice of the three elders.
Sanqi didn't know about the dispute between them before, but when he stood below and watched the battle, he couldn't help but be a little speechless when he heard Wei Mian say it.
"I didn't expect the third elder to be so stingy and remember the incident of Miss Jiang's defeat of Zhou Songzi to this day." Sanqi whispered beside him.
Wei Mian also said: "When I tested the spiritual root, I estimated that it was just a stumbling block, where would I have thought that the three elders still can't let go of the hatred in their hearts now." ”
Although the two of them deliberately lowered their voices, there was silence on the field now, and these disciples were all deaf and clear-sighted, how could they not hear what they said?
The two of them clearly deliberated on purpose.
The third elder was furious, "This competition doesn't count, they have already colluded in advance, and they just deliberately released the water." ”
When he said this, the three disciples disagreed. They obviously came forward to compete according to the requirements of the three elders, so why did they have to charge them with releasing water?
Several people quarreled in the middle of the room.
The Second Elder and Elder Bai heard the movement here and hurried over.
They first inquired about the results of the assessment of the inner disciples in the field, and only after confirming it did they ask what happened.
The three elders stepped forward to interject, but were stopped by two people.
The other inner disciples told what had happened, and after listening to it, Elder Bai couldn't help but glare at the third elder.
"Isn't it a shame to stay here?" Elder Bai had a bad temper, and he was not used to seeing this kind of bullying on weekdays, so he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the third elder's ears and dragged him forward.
The three elders dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and they felt too embarrassed, so they could only follow Elder Bai and leave in a hurry.
The second elder announced on the spot that all three of them had passed the assessment and could officially become inner disciples.
The rules of the inner door are stricter, and the punishment for private fights is much more severe. When they entered the inner door, no one came to find fault at all.
The three of them came in through the same assessment, and their relationship is more intimate than others. That night, Wei Mian pulled the two of them into his room and closed the door mysteriously.
Wei Mian said: "I regard you as friends, you have to do me a favor." I came here to help my father find a jade seal, which is said to be hidden inside the inner door of the Futu Palace. ”
He glanced at the two people in front of him, "Can you help me keep it a secret?" ”
After the two of them promised not to say anything, he continued: "I have a map here, which roughly marks the location of the jade seal, and I will show it to you." ”
With that, Wei Mian took out a small bag hidden at the foot of the bed and rummaged through it.
Seeing him looking for a map, Jiang Luoan also faintly looked forward to it. The jade seal that Wei Mian was looking for might be what she was looking for.
But when he really saw the map, Jiang Luoan was a little speechless.
This "roughly" marks the location of the jade seal, and it is too "rough". She originally thought that she would at least know which hall or which houses the jade seal was placed in, but she didn't expect that this map would mark the entire main peak and side peaks inside.
Isn't this the extent of the inner door, so what's the use of this map?
