Chapter 15: The First Examination
According to the strength of the two people's feet, they arrived at Penglai Mountain on the night of the next day.
There are many cities under Penglai Mountain, which are much more prosperous than the boundary city. The two entered the city and chose a hotel to stay. Just wait for the second day to come, Penglai Guan officially accepted the apprentices.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the two left the room and went up the mountain.
At this time, in front of the Penglai Guanshan Gate, there have been a lot of monks gathered sparsely, or mavericks, or groups of three or five, looking at it, there are many people on the hillside.
Bai Dongqing was speechless, thinking that these people should all come to participate in the Penglaiguan admissions exam. Among these people, there are many people who have advanced cultivation, and the two of them are only inconspicuous when they are put into the pile.
As the time came, more and more people began to gather in front of the mountain gate. Bai Dongqing raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't find Bai Ruxue's figure, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"I just don't know what the mechanism of Penglai Guan is to accept disciples, it stands to reason that the monks here have mixed realms, and they shouldn't be the same. Bai Dongqing thought secretly.
Since the strong people in the realm of being as strong as white as snow all want to enter the Penglai Temple to cultivate, presumably there should be a hole in this Penglai Temple, but I don't know that the two of them can successfully pass the assessment.
At first, Bai Dongqing was still full of confidence. However, as more and more monks leap in, and many of them are not low in cultivation, it is difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction with Bai Dongqing's current strength.
While thinking about it, the mountain gate opened, and an old man walked out of it. The old man couldn't find out what he was doing, but he felt calm and calm, quite a fairy wind bone.
The old man swept the crowd and stroked his beard with a smile. Behind him, two young monks in Taoist robes walked out, one with a sword in his hand, one with a whisk in his hand, and two on the left and one on the right.
Seeing this, the monks who came to participate in the assessment all looked yearning and waited quietly for the old man to speak.
"You have traveled thousands of miles to come to my Penglai Temple, which is the honor of Penglai Temple. But I have not asked about the world for a hundred years, and now I have made an exception to accept apprentices, and those who have passed many tests can enter the meditation and practice. The old man first made a polite remark, and then said: "Today is the first test, and those who pass the test are waiting for the second round of assessment. ”
Someone in the crowd began to get impatient and shouted, "Let's get started, don't grind." ”
The old man smiled slightly, nodded to the Taoist priest beside him, and then the young Taoist priest with the dust in his hand walked out, his eyes swept over everyone, and then he said: "The question of this preliminary examination is very simple, and those who answer correctly can enter the mountain gate and wait for the next assessment." I ask you, what is the mission of the monks?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene was a mess, and even Bai Dongqing was a little surprised. Originally, I thought that the entry assessment was nothing more than fighting and killing, talking with fists, but I didn't expect that there would be a literary test.
This question seems simple, but it is not easy to answer, and everyone is deep in thought.
At this time, the dusty boy said again: "Each person has a chance, please answer carefully." ”
A burly man stood up and said in a rough voice: "The mission of the monk is nothing more than to punish evil and promote good, and eliminate violence and peace. ”
As soon as this remark came out, many people nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, the dusty boy just shook his head slightly and was silent. Dahan was anxious, "Isn't that right, but give me an accurate word." Grinding and chirping. ”
The boy shook his head: "No. ”
The strong man was depressed, scolded and went down the mountain, muttering: "What a bullshit problem." The crowd burst into laughter.
With the experience of the Great Khan, people began to be more cautious, for fear that they would not answer the right questions and miss the opportunity to get started.
After waiting for a while, no one answered, and the dusty boy was slightly disappointed.
At this moment, a calm and luxurious man with a graceful demeanor stood up and said softly: "In my opinion, the mission of this monk is to study the pinnacle of martial arts and find the ultimate in martial arts. ”
The man finished speaking, waiting for an answer.
There was a lot of discussion, some for and some against.
The dusty boy bowed slightly, and then said, "It's okay." ”
The young man was overjoyed when he heard this, and in the envious eyes of everyone, he was the first to enter the mountain gate. Next, some people began to be impatient and answered. But basically, they all failed, and they all went home.
The answers of a few people barely passed.
Seeing that everyone was undecided, the dusty young man couldn't help but look at the old man beside him.
"Due to time constraints, there is a time limit of two hours. After noon, those who do not answer will be deemed to have given up. As soon as the old man's voice fell, it caused dissatisfaction among the audience. Quite a few people began to complain, but the old man turned a blind eye.
Seeing this, the sword-wielding young man frowned and said, "Cherish time!"
Li Erguang asked quietly, "Does Brother Bai have a good plan?"
Bai Dongqing nodded slightly: "Immature answer, wait a while and see the situation." ”
Hearing this, Li Erguang didn't say anything more, and began to scratch his ears and cheeks to think about the answer.
Bai Dongqing just doesn't understand, what is the intention of this topic?
An hour passed quickly. During this period, many people succeeded, and many more failed and returned disappointed. In the mountains, there are still a lot of people, and if the time comes, it is estimated that many people will be eliminated because they do not answer in time, just as Bai Dongqing was about to speak, an ethereal voice sounded.
"It seems to me that the monks do not have a mission, and if they do, it is most likely due to bonds. The one who spoke was a woman in white, untainted by the world, walking lightly, walking slowly.
This voice was extremely familiar, Bai Dongqing raised his eyes to look, and sure enough, the person who spoke was Bai Ruxue, who had a one-sided relationship. Although she covered her face with a white veil at this time, her temperament like a hibiscus out of the water could not be changed.
The dusty boy smiled and nodded, and said, "Miss Bai has a unique understanding, and she really deserves to be the delicate son of the Bai family, congratulations on passing the test." ”
"This woman is actually from the Bai family? Could it be that Bai Ruxue, who is known as the first day of the Bai family?"
"I heard that Bai Ruxue is already a master of the Divine Realm, so I didn't expect to come to Penglai to participate in the assessment. ”
Everyone whispered, obviously the name of Bai Ruxue was very loud, and many people had heard of it.
In the envious eyes of everyone, Bai Ruxue slowly walked into the mountain gate.
At this time, in the crowd, some people did not hesitate to praise with their tongues: "The white girl is really as beautiful as a fairy, rare in the world." If such a beauty becomes my Hongchen companion, it is a good story. ”
"Don't be ashamed, how can the white girl be touched by a deflated girl like you? Someone said disdainfully.
When this person saw the person who spoke first, his face changed greatly, and he said tremblingly: "Dugu Xianyang?"
After speaking, he squeezed through the crowd with a frightened face, and directly gave up the opportunity to escape.
"Dugu Xianyang?"
"Could it be that Dugu Xianyang, the young owner of Dugu Villa?"
The crowd exploded again, and many people stayed away from Dugu Xianyang, obviously this man was not small, which made many people afraid.
Just as the crowd was chattering, the young man holding a dust whisk in front of the mountain gate asked, "According to what Brother Xianyang saw, what should be the answer?"
Dugu Xianyang sneered, and then said: "Do whatever you want, go with what happens." ”
"A good one to do whatever you want, go with what you want, Brother Xianyang, please. ”
Dugu Xianyang strode into the mountain gate, and there was not much time left. Seeing this, Bai Dongqing said, "Can you think of how to answer?"
Li Erguang hesitated a little, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "This monk's mission is nothing more than to satisfy his own selfish desires, so don't say anything. ”
Li Erguang's answer made Bai Dongqing slightly stunned, and everyone was even more stunned. Obviously, this casual and uninhibited answer surprised everyone.
Li Erguang's nervous palms were sweating, and he stared intently at the dusty boy.
The dusty boy obviously got this kind of answer for the first time, and he was a little torn and didn't know how to answer. The old man beside him smiled slightly and stroked his beard.
"It's not rough, let's go inside. ”
Li Erguang was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
"Brother, I'll go first. ”
Bai Dongqing nodded slightly, and waited for Li Erguang to enter the mountain gate, then took a deep breath and said slowly: "The so-called mission is driven by the way of heaven, and people are worthy of their hearts. It is my mission to face the darkness and not change my original intention. ”
"Good. Lao Dao's eyes flashed, and he secretly said hello in his heart.
Lao Dao asked, "What's your name?"
Bai Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists and said, "Disciple Bai Dongqing." ”
Lao Daoruo glanced at Bai Dongqing meaningfully, and said: "Dongbai is evergreen, the water flows for a long time, not bad, let's go in." ”
When Bai Dongqing entered, the dusty young man said loudly: "The time has come, please go back." ”
Everyone was shocked, and some people asked in a puzzled voice: "There is still a stick of incense before noon, how can it be the hour?
Many people echoed, they were eliminated in vain, there are indeed some nests, obviously the time has not yet come, why was it eliminated in a daze?
The old man explained: "Presumably, you all have the answer in your heart, but you are reluctant to answer, looking forward and backward, the Dao heart is not strong, so if you don't pass the assessment, you should go back early." ”
Lao Dao waved his hand and turned to leave.
At this time, someone shouted: "What kind of famous and decent family, in my opinion, is a crooked and evil way, and does not put us in my eyes." So many of us are still afraid that they won't succeed, so it's a big deal to enter the mountain gate and see if there is a hole inside!"
Everyone's cultivation is not weak, and several of them are strong people in the Bone Refining Realm, and they feel unwilling when they hear the voice, so they follow the coaxing. The sword-wielding young man frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "Don't provoke the majesty of the Dao Sect, leave quickly." When you accept disciples in the future, you still have a chance. ”
"Hmph, boy. I've long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, and you have a straight face like a dead mother. Today, I will teach you a lesson on your behalf. ”
In the crowd, two lean men, whose faces were somewhat similar, should be siblings, at this time, the two rose into the air and made a brazen attack.
"Noise!" the sword-wielding young man's face turned cold, and the long sword came out, and the sword fell back into its sheath.
In the blink of an eye, two corpses crashed to the ground.
Everyone was shocked, the strong man of the Bone Refining Realm was vulnerable in front of the young man. Some people didn't even see how the young man made a move, and the two strong men with strong bones were exhausted.
"Leave quickly, don't make trouble. The sword-wielding boy stepped into the mountain gate without looking back. During this time, no one dared to move. They were all completely shocked by the power of the boy's sword.
