Chapter Twenty-Eight: Level 567
Eighteen conscripts were eliminated in the fourth level, and eleven conscripts remained. Dong Xijun read out the answers of the passers in public, so that the applicants who did not pass this pass were convinced, and then asked the applicants who did not pass this pass and their relatives and friends to leave. Gao Shan didn't answer well, but it was great to prove that the question was meaningless, and for the sake of his score that he was an excellent young man, Dong Bijun wanted to observe him again, even if he passed.
After that, Dong Xijun said: "Let's enter the fifth level, please continue to answer the questions of the applicants, it is still a written test, choose one of the two questions, and one stick of incense will be limited to a time." The test papers had already been distributed, and the eleven candidates who were left behind began to answer the questions after hearing Dong Xijun shout to start answering the questions.
The two questions are:
1. When your wife and mother fall into the water at the same time, do you save your wife first or save your mother first?
2. When your wife dies and the child you and your wife have a young child, do you commit suicide or endure your grief and raise the child alone?
Here are just some excerpts from the answers.
Mu Jiandao chose to answer the first question and answered:
I saved my wife first, and I did this for two reasons,
First, the wife is young and the mother is old, and the death of the young is more sad than the death of the old.
Second, the most important role of the mother is to raise the children, and the wife has to take on the important task of bearing children, and the mother has fulfilled this important responsibility.
Of course, no one wants to make such a choice, but if I have to make a trade-off, I will give up the less valuable and the more valuable to preserve, and let the people who should live live more.
Jiang Ying chose to answer the first question and answered:
I saved my wife first for the following reasons, my wife and I have to raise children, we are still young, there is still a long way to go, and there is still a lot to do. And my mother is old, she has already gone through most of the journey of her life, and even if she dies suddenly, she has few regrets. From ancient times to the present, birth, old age, sickness and death are very common, people always have a death, but death must be valuable, if the mother's death is exchanged for the wife's life, the mother is also considered to have a valuable death.
Besides, it is better for a black-haired person to send a white-haired person than a white-haired person to a black-haired person, which makes people feel a little better. If you save your mother first and save your mother, but you don't have time to save your wife, then it is too pitiful for a young child to lose his mother, and it is too sad for a young husband to lose his wife. If an elderly mother trades her life for the death of her young daughter-in-law, then the second half of the old mother's life will be spent in grief and self-blame. The pain of many people is very clear when compared to the pain of one person.
If I make such a choice, some people may scold me for being unfilial, but saving my mother or not my wife is an infidelity and betrayal of love and marriage. At the same time, it is also a great harm to one's own children, and their children have suffered the pain of losing their mothers. As an adult, you should keep this grief to yourself, not to your children.
I don't want to say that I made the right choice. Neither morally nor emotionally, I can't accept my choice, but in terms of stakes, the weight of the two evils is the lesser of the two evils, and for the sake of the healthy growth of the child, I can only do this.
I want to say that I don't want to make such a choice, this choice is very painful, but this is an exam question, and I have to make a choice that is sorry for my mother, but right for my wife and children.
Zhang Jinsong chose to answer the first question and answered:
I will save my mother first, then my wife, and if I can't save my wife, I will die with my wife. Because the mother's nurturing grace cannot go unpaid, and living and dying with his wife is what a husband should do.
Gao Shan chose to answer the second question, answering:
I entrust my children to others to raise them and then martyrdom, I do this because I am a loving person, I can't live alone without my beloved wife, and the child is the flesh and blood of me and my wife, the crystallization of love, and the continuation of my life with my wife.
These two questions are not easy to answer, Xu Qing remembers that he once read a novel describing martial arts, saying that martial artists can "defeat complexity with simplicity" by practicing martial arts to a very high level, so he chose to answer the second question and answered simply:
I will live strongly, raise my children to adulthood, and let my wife's bloodline continue.
Li Linfeng chose to answer the second question, answering:
I will immediately commit suicide and martyrdom, I can't lose my wife, my wife is all I have in life, and my life has no meaning without her.
Zhou Hui chose to answer the second question and answered:
I will live strong and raise my children alone, and although I love my wife, I cannot selfishly go with her and forget my responsibilities as a father. It is pitiful for a child to have no mother, and even more pitiful if there is no father.
The fifth level is passed only by the seven people who have excerpted the answers above.
It was nearly noon after the five-pass inspection, Dong Xijun announced the suspension of the recruitment conference, and invited everyone to have lunch, rest for an hour after lunch, and then conduct the competition of the recruitment conference in the afternoon.
Most of the applicants and their relatives and friends who were brushed down by the first five levels left the competition site, but they did not leave the Famous Sword Villa, they wanted to know the results of the recruitment meeting, and they were also very curious about the difficulties in the recruitment competition. Mingjian Villa also prepared a sumptuous lunch for them.
Before the middle of the afternoon (two o'clock in the afternoon), the recruitment conference entered the sixth level of the competition, still presided over by Dong Xijun, the exam questions are as follows: Dong Bijun and nine maids of similar stature to her stood in a row, wearing the same bridal clothes, wearing the same red hijab, and asked the applicants to recognize the real Dong Bijun from the ten real and false Dong Bijun outside the three zhang. A quarter of an hour is limited (with a copper kettle drip timer).
In order to prevent the later applicants from copying the previous applicants, or from gaining inspiration from the previous applicants, the competition hall was closed, and one candidate was put in one after the examination, and another candidate was brought in after the examination. The order of the examination is determined by the drawing of lots for the seven applicants who have passed the sixth level. Dong Bijun's parents, sister, brother and sister-in-law, as well as the eliminated candidates who passed the first four levels and stopped at the fifth level, acted as witnesses.
In order to be fair and ensure that each applicant has the same amount of time to think, the exam questions are not announced in advance, and Dong Xijun will read out the exam questions only when the candidates enter the closed competition hall.
Xu Qing is the first person to be examined, Xu Qing has completely digested and absorbed the internal force that Zhao Mengchen and Zhao Tuozhi conveyed to him, after many duels with masters, the use of internal strength has reached the realm of supernatural transformation, although this level is difficult, but it is not difficult for him. I saw Xu Qing standing outside the red rope pulled by the two young and pretty maidservants of the Dong family at a distance of three zhang, silently exercising his internal strength, and a soft internal strength was issued, sucking all the red hijabs on the heads of the ten true and false Dong Bijun into his hands, and Dong Bijun's original form was revealed.
Dong Xijun said to Xu Qing: "Congratulations to Mr. Xu for passing the sixth level, you can choose to stay and watch, or leave." "In private, Dong Xijun and Xu Qing are lovers, except for the last line of defense of the body, the rest of the important places in the body have been taken by Xu Qing, of course, they will not be so rusty. Dong Xijun privately called Xu Qing Xu Lang, and Xu Qing called Dong Xijun Junjun's sister. Xu Qing wanted to see the performance of his competitors and said, "I'll stay and watch." ”
Dong Xijun said to Xu Qing: "Okay, please return the red hijab to them." After waiting for the ten true and false Dong Bijun to take the red hijab and put it back on, Dong Xijun asked, "Are you ready for the next one?" The ten true and false Dong Bijun replied in unison: "It's ready." ”
So Dong Xijun shouted to the Dong family's cronies who were guarding the door: "Next." The voices of the family came out one by one, and the second applicant, Zhou Hui, who was waiting outside the triple courtyard, was led in by a pretty maid of the Dong family.
Zhou Hui was stunned as soon as he heard the exam questions, he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, walked back and forth, and the water in the copper kettle dripping was almost running out before he suddenly thought of a way, and said: "There is an activity called lassos in my hometown, many people will, it is indecent to use lassos to lasso, but I can't think of a better way, Miss Dong, please give me a lasso, if there is no lasso, a rope more than three zhang long is fine." ”
Dong Bijun's family and faithful servants had already worked together to conceive of various possible methods, and had already prepared a rope, and a maidservant quickly took out a long rope from a basket and threw it to Zhou Hui. Zhou Hui quickly hit a rope loop, and then used it to lassodate people. Start from the first one on the left, take it to the front and take a look at the red hijab, no, and then the second one from the left, it's not, and I'm trying to put on the third, and the maid who clocks the time reports loudly: "It's time." ”
Zhou Hui sighed and said, "I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of it earlier?" Alas......"
Dong Xijun said to Zhou Hui: "It's a pity that you didn't recognize my sister within the specified time, although your method is right, but I can only regret to tell you that you didn't pass the sixth level." Will Zhou Gongzi stay to watch, or will he leave? Zhou Hui wanted to be generous, regardless of success or failure, and said, "Stay and watch." ”
The two girls in the quilt returned to their positions on their own, wearing red hijabs. Dong Xijun asked, "Are you all ready?" ”
Dong Bijun and the others replied: "Ready." ”
Dong Xijun said: "Next." ”
Li Linfeng was the third to enter the venue, he asked for a long bamboo pole, and Mingjian Villa had already prepared a long bamboo pole. Li Linfeng picked up the red hijab with a long bamboo pole and found out the real Dong Bijun.
After passing the customs, Li Linfeng also chose to stay and watch the battle.
Next to enter the market was Zhang Jinsong. Zhang Jinsong used his internal force to blow off the red hijab on the heads of ten true and false Dong Bijun with the palm wind, recognized Dong Bijun, and passed the sixth level, he also chose to stay.
Then Mu Jiandao entered. Mu Jiandao only thought about it for a while when he heard the exam question, and then he had an idea, and said: "There is no limited method for this exam question, you can use all methods, as long as you keep a distance of more than three zhang." All this methods include the use of threats. I'll show you how to do it first. "Asking Dong Xijun for a bow and ten arrows, Dong Xijun was as surprised as everyone else, but he still met Mu Jiandao's requirements.
Mu Jiandao pulled the bow full, concentrated on the internal force on the arrow, one arrow shot into the hard stone pillar five zhang away, only half of the arrow shaft was exposed, and then one arrow shot through the shaft of the first arrow, and the third arrow shot into the shaft of the second arrow, so the continuous arrow is breathtaking. After that, Mu Jiandao walked to the edge of the red rope of the real and false Dong Bijun, bent his bow and arrows, pointed to the first girl on the left and said in an unquestionable commanding tone: "The first girl on the left, uncover your red hijab, otherwise my arrow will shoot through your chest." "That impostor didn't dare to risk his life to make a bet with Mu Jiandao on whether he dared to shoot someone in the Famous Sword Villa, and hurriedly took off the red hijab as he said. Mu Jiandao used this method to coerce the second pretender from the left to take off the red hijab. Dong Bijun is the third from the left, and without waiting for Mu Jiandao to say threatening words, he took the initiative to lift the red hijab and said, "Mu Gongzi, congratulations on passing the sixth level." ”
Gao Shan, who entered the next place, did not pass the pass and chose to leave, and Jiang Ying, who was the last to enter, did not pass the pass and left gloomily.
There are only four applicants who have passed the sixth level, namely Xu Qing, Li Linfeng, Zhang Jinsong, and Mu Jiandao.
Dong Xijun announced that the recruitment conference has entered the seventh level, and the exam question is a talent show, which can perform calligraphy, painting, music, poetry, martial arts, etc., but can only perform one, and there is a stick of incense for a limited time. The order of the performances is still determined by drawing.
Mu Jiandao used the guqin to play a rare song in the rivers and lakes, which can concentrate internal force on the sound of the piano and heal internal injuries.
Xu Qing's performance is "taking nature as the law and leaving no trace as the god", imitating the white clouds, mountains, flowing water, flowers and trees, and beautiful women. Xu Qing has practiced the "Tianshan Palm Technique" for more than a year, but he has not obtained his god, but he has obtained his shape, and his performance is not a problem.
Zhang Jinsong performs calligraphy.
Li Linfeng performed painting and painted Dong Bijun vividly.
All four of them passed the seventh level, and tomorrow morning they will enter the eighth level, which is also the highlight - the ring competition.
