Chapter 51: Talent

"Light the flint?"

Guichen asked in a daze in the rain, but Ying Baoyue on the side already understood.

Wind and fire, water and thunder, if she wants to practice the swordsmanship of these four schools, it seems that as she guessed, she needs to have a certain affinity for these four elements.

The so-called test of the upper fourth house is not what Guichen thinks at home, what a lofty thing. A cultivator's power comes from all things in heaven and earth, and if you want to measure everyone's talent for all things in heaven and earth, you only need the simplest means.

It is the so-called return to the basics that only then can we see nature.

In ancient times, some people drilled wood and rubbed stones to make fire, so as to bring the first light to human beings in the dark, so today's entry test of the Shangsi Palace Fire Courtyard is to rub the flint.

It's simple, but it's still different.

After all, everyone is already a cultivator with true yuan, and the heaven and earth vitality seeps into the body, if there is a natural sense of fire, the sparks that are rubbed will be different.

Because this measurement method is simple, there is no skill, and it depends on God's talent for appreciating food.

Looking at the cultivators in front of them, there were sparks of different points of view, and some could even ignite a pleasing flame, and their talents were obvious.

"It's really just a flint ......" Guichen looked at the bustle in the distance and couldn't help but sigh again, regretting that he didn't make more fires to cook in his hometown.

"I should have practiced more when my mother was cooking."

Hearing Guichen's regret, Chen Zichu, who was staring closely at Yinghuyue's movements, frowned, "What do you want?" It's useless to practice, it's just to look at the talent, and it's useless to grind all the flints when you're not a cultivator! ”

Chen Zichu pursed his lips, "The important thing is to see the true yuan in your body now and the perception of fire!" ”

"Really?" Hearing this, Guichen glanced at him, "Brother Chen is from the Fire Courtyard?" Have you participated in this? ”

Chen Zichu hurriedly shook his head, "I'm not, it's just that the method and standard of the first round of tests in the Fourth Palace are similar." ”

"Really?" Guichen continued to be curious, "Which courtyard is Brother Chen from?" What was the method used to test talent in the first place? ”

Chen Zichu froze when he heard this, but he saw the girl in front of him standing on tiptoe to look at a loose team to the west, and turned to him and smiled, "The way the Wind Academy measures talent is really interesting. ”

So why did this woman know that he was a wind law master, Chen Zichu was helpless in his heart, but Guichen immediately caught up, "It turns out that Brother Chen is from the Wind Courtyard?" He tiptoed to the west, but he didn't know what was going on over there.

"So how did the wind courtyard measure it?" The boy persistently asked.

Chen Zichu froze for a moment, and only then did he squeeze out the three words from between his teeth under the young man's curious gaze.

"Kite flying."

"Kite flying?" Guichen's eyes widened when he heard this, and it took a lot of effort to keep himself from laughing, holding back so hard, he controlled his cheeks and nodded thoughtfully, "If you can fly a kite in such a heavy rain, then it is indeed related to the wind." ”

That's a good point. Ying Baoyue also laughed softly next to her.

But then she put away her smile, no matter how childish these tests were, but this is indeed an extremely cruel standard that cannot be changed by human beings.

Just like some people can't fly a kite in their lifetime, this seemingly simple way is easy to overturn.

But fortunately, this affinity should only be a basic condition, she looked at the team in front of her, the cultivator who had just sparked the skyrocketing spark was obviously respectfully welcomed into the second level, but although the cultivator behind him only wiped out a fist-sized flame, the middle-aged man in charge of the test had a slightly unsightly face, but he still nodded reluctantly, and the second cultivator hurriedly trotted into the back of the stone tablet.

To put it bluntly, as long as there is an ordinary person level, this affinity can pass the test, and the real test should still be behind the stone stele.

Looking at the performance of the second cultivator, Guichen obviously relaxed as well.

"It doesn't seem like a lot of demand." Guichen sighed.

"Not tall?" Chen Zichu on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, "Rubbing the flint is just a stepping stone, and the three moves behind the stone tablet are the big dishes!" ”

"Three moves?" Ying Baoyue asked.

Chen Zichu knew that he had said the wrong thing again, but he thought that it would be good for her to retreat, and said, "A cultivator who can rub out a so-so flame can be regarded as having a basic talent, and if he is usually admitted to the hospital, it will be almost the same, but I also said in the National Teacher's Mansion before that the final screening this time requires a ready-made thug." ”

Since you are a thug, you must be able to fight.

Looking at Xu Yishan, who was standing alone in the east under the stone tablet of the Water Courtyard not far away, Chen Zichu sighed slightly, and looked at Ying Baoyue and the others, "The second and final level is to be able to go through three moves under the hands of the senior brothers of each academy. ”

I see, so Xu Yishan went back to prepare before, and it was this round of preparation.

It's a pity that the senior brother is ready, but there is no one who can fight against him.

"The water courtyard is really miserable."

"Yes, there seemed to be two people last year, but this year there are no one."

At this time, because there were too many people who signed up for the Fire Courtyard, the tail of the team was thrown not far from the stone monument of the Water Courtyard, and many cultivators who lined up saw the desolate and miserable state of the Water Courtyard and discussed it a lot.

"Why isn't there a person, Xu Yishan's son is still there? Isn't there a shame? Don't hurry up and get out of the stall, that kid! ”

"Don't mention it, last year, two people finally signed up, and the boy not only didn't accept it as a baby, but also directly beat down with two tricks and said according to the regulations, but he didn't know how to be flexible, he deserved to be alone this year!"

"I heard that the people in the Water Courtyard are all brainless, and besides, isn't that the gentleman of the Water Courtyard, and he is embarrassed to come out at such an old age!"

Ying Baoyue frowned as she listened to the other cultivators' words, but the next moment, she only heard a breathless scolding coming from the stone tablet of the Water Courtyard.

"Little bunny! What nonsense! ”

"If you don't report to the old man's academy, you have no vision!"

"What's so good about the fire courtyard? Our water courtyard is the first compound with a long history! ”

"Saint Cloud, good as water! Good as water! Do you understand? The water method is the strongest sword technique! What do you stinky boys know! ”

Good as water?

Ying Baoyue was slightly stunned, listening to this series of angry shouts and scolding, and followed everyone's eyes to the thunderous old man in front of the stone stele.

The old man who was originally wearing a piece of rain cloth suddenly lifted the rain cloth because of anger, he was wearing a tattered robe, he had no superior demeanor, let alone a fairy wind bone, and he looked more than half a hundred taels old with white temples.

It's really miserable to be mixed up like this age, but the moment Ying Baoyue saw his eyes, he was stunned again.

It was a pair of old people's cloudy eyes, but looking at the young man who was laughing at his school, he shot an extremely sharp light.

After anger and sharpness, there is a depth as vast as a sea of stars.

This profundity reminded Ying Baoyue of what the old man had just shouted.

Sage cloud, good as water?

These are indeed the words of a saint, but there is no such saint in this world. Ying hugged the moon and said.

And the one who brought the words of this saint into this world.

It's her master.

The Great Priest ordered Lin Shubai.

……

……

At this moment, Chen Zichu beside her stared at the old man who was angry and sighed, "Is it really him?" This old guy really came out to recruit people on his own? The water courtyard is exhausted to this extent? ”

Ying Baoyue looked at Chen Zichu and asked.

"Who is he?"

……
