Chapter 23: The First Day of the Great Competition
Yu Lang is a person who has a heavy mind on weekdays, but he is a little good, and he must be the calmest one when Mount Tai collapses at the top. The night before, he went to bed early after reviewing the notes he had put together, and he slept very soundly.
The rambling sound of a few larks in the window woke up Yu Lang, he stretched his comfortable waist, and hugged the morning light from the broken window, and his heart was very calm.
Qingqing took out a bowl of sesame porridge, a bowl of noodle soup, and a plate of side dishes from the tray.
Yu Lang couldn't help but move his index finger: "Why do you treat me so well today?" These three things seem simple, but they should take a lot of thought on your part. ”
Qingqing said with a smile: "Today is the day for you to participate in the big competition, and you must eat breakfast well to have strength." This meal is also the last meal you ate at home before Dabi, once Dabi starts, unless it is eliminated, it will not be able to leave the gate of Moon Washing Academy. ”
Yu Lang washed up before coming back to eat, Yu Lang was naturally not used to the Tang people's brushing method of rubbing his teeth with his hands or chewing willow branches, but made a pair of wooden-handled pig hair toothbrushes, and he also sold his pig hair toothbrushes to Qingqing and Obaba, but these two people did not appreciate it. Qingqing felt that the pig hair was disgusting, not as good as the willow branch, and Obaba never brushed his teeth, and the devil knew how his white teeth were maintained. was given a pig hair toothbrush by Du Fu.
Yu Lang dried the flax porridge in three bites, poured the side dishes into the sea bowl containing the noodle soup, and ate it clean with a few chopsticks, not even a drop of noodle soup left.
"You should eat slowly, people have spent a whole morning making three things, what can you eat like this?"
Yu Lang burped: "I thought that the highest respect for food is to destroy them as quickly as possible, and the kind that chews and swallows slowly must not be loved enough, at least not passionately." ”
These words of love and love are taboo words, and Qingqing is also a little used to being touched by Yu Lang, and said with a smile: "You always have a point, and you have your own words when you chew and swallow slowly after a while." ”
"I really envy you, you don't have to participate in the big competition, when will you enroll?"
"When your competition is over and the 159 finalists are selected, the entrance ceremony will be held, and after the entrance ceremony, there will be the final round of the competition, and the quota for the washing of the scriptures will be selected."
Yu Lang secretly calculated: 200 people were recruited, and it seems that there are 41 guaranteed places. Why don't the people in the admissions office round up, but it's 41, could it be that Li Dahu, who suddenly crossed the red line yesterday, was not actually eliminated, but directly escorted. Oops, I should have thought of it a long time ago, Li Dahu's neurotic thinking just fits the style of the Moon Washing Academy, and he said that he was eliminated on the surface, but behind his back, he secretly escorted it, and this hand was handled beautifully.
Qingqing could have thought that Yu Lang could still come up with flowers for a few numbers, help Yu Lang put on his robe and bring the bookcase.
Yu Lang got dressed, put on his bookcase and was about to go out.
Qingqing was slightly disappointed, this robe was sewn by her for a long time, but she didn't expect Yu Lang to be careless and didn't ask about it at all.
Yu Lang stopped when he walked to the door and didn't look back: "Thank you for the robe, it's beautiful and fits, wrap the wound on your hand, be careful of infection." With that, he strode away.
Qingqing was stunned in place, although she didn't know what "infection" meant, she was still happy for Yu Lang's subtle observation.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The entry is more than the first level, face-to-face.
Those with short-lived faces and ugly faces are eliminated.
The 3,000 students gathered in the small school of Xiyue Academy were in an uproar, and there was no such round when Xiyue Academy enrolled students in previous years.
Especially some old men, they are so angry that they slap their thighs, isn't this bullying!
The second notice that was soon added made the old people smile: "Those who are over fifty years old will be directly promoted to this level!" ”
Yu Lang secretly wondered: whether this year's temporary addition of this screening condition is related to the coming troubled times, if the dean of the Moon Washing Academy can really calculate the catastrophe of the Tang Dynasty ten years later, this person is also close to heaven. If there is really someone in this academy who understands the art of face-to-face, presumably that person is also an amazing supernatural person.
Yu Lang recalled his appearance and was worried in his heart: I am a person who is full of heaven, so I must not be short-lived.
Soon, a teacher moved a small chair and sat down, added a pair of glass mirrors to the bridge of his nose, and held a tea cup in his hand, like a charlatan on the street.
That person turned out to be Du Fu, I knew five hundred years before and five hundred years later, but I didn't expect you to be such Du Fu.
When it was Yu Lang's turn, Du Fu's face was serious, and he didn't see his usual frenzy at all.
He looked at it again and again, and sighed: "You are very blessed, but there are many disasters in your life, whether your life is short, this teaching can't see through it, it's just that, count it on you." ”
Yu Lang walked to the promotion area suspiciously, and he didn't know if this stalk-stealing monster was pretending to be a ghost or if it was really something. It didn't take long for Yu Lang to stop believing a dime, Du Fu said this to almost all the students, but there was a difference in the last sentence, either "It's okay to forget it", or "It's better for you to concentrate on saving your life, go back first." ”
More than 400 people were screened out in this round, and about 2,500 people remained in the small school yard.
The formal assessment has just begun.
The second level of the entry competition, the archery examination school.
Archery is the best test of a person's arm strength, concentration and spirituality, so it is listed as a separate round.
Two hundred paces away, shoot arrows, and those who miss the target will be eliminated directly.
The 2,500 students were divided into 40 groups of 60 or 70 people, and the two supervisors in each group were the older brothers and sisters in the college.
In this round of examinations, there are many geniuses in each group, and the students praise each other very happily, there are the kind of pretending heroes who retreat five hundred steps more and then pierce the red heart with an arrow, and there is also the kind of neurosis who blindfolds himself and finally misses the target, and there is a cow man who is said to shoot nine arrows in one breath, and the arrow pierces the red heart.
Archery was what Yu Lang was best at, but he didn't want to become the target of the public too early, so he just pulled his bow and shot a shot, shooting at the center of the edge of the heart and the target.
One of the supervising senior brothers said in a low voice: "Senior brother is good at archery, and he can shoot an arrow on a half-minute arc with one arrow, which is exactly the same." ”
Yu Lang smiled faintly: "Senior brother has good eyesight. Now he said it lightly, but only he knew how many bows he had wasted in order to practice the mantle of archery and pass on Liang Chaoran, and he didn't want to rest until his hands were red and swollen. He felt that he had no blood relationship with Liang Chaoran, but if Liang Chaoran's archery skills were passed on, if it was on himself, there would be traces of Liang Chaoran's life continuation.
Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and what continues is not just a trace.
A herald senior brother sounded the gong and announced the end of the second round: "A total of 846 students have been eliminated in this level, and the remaining students are 1,651 students. ”
At this time, the sun was hanging in the balance, and at noon, the herald brother knocked down the second gong and drum: "Eliminated students, please leave, and the shortlisted students will eat at the Mustis Building!" I wish all students a smooth passage in the second half of the selection! ”
