After a while, it wasn't until Jiang Jin flipped the jade slip up and down that she finally found a small groove on one of the jade tablets.

Looks like it should be some kind of mechanism or something.

If there is a mechanism, then it must be the key to reading the text in the jade slip!

Thinking of this, Jiang Jin suddenly became energetic, and directly controlled the spiritual power into a silk thread and injected it into the groove.

This time, Yu Jian was easily activated, but Jiang Jin didn't see the test paper she imagined from it, but saw a strange blank picture scroll......

Not from time to time, the jousting square.

A huge water mirror rose in the center of the square at some point, and the water mirror was broadcasting the candidates in each examination room in real time.

It's just that this batch of candidates is obviously not doing very well, and almost every once in a while, a few candidates will collapse in the middle of the exam.

Looking at the crashing candidates that kept appearing in the water mirror, the three elders' long eyebrows that hung down to the corners of their mouths couldn't help but frown.

He turned his head to look at the big man of the same sect sitting on the side, and then raised his eyes to glance at the excited crowd of onlookers under the square, and his lips, which were covered by a long white beard, moved, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he didn't say anything, pressed the palms of his hands, silently swallowed back the words that were about to rush to his throat, and then continued to focus on the water mirror.

As a result, by coincidence, another disciple who had an emotional breakdown due to heart refining appeared on the water mirror......

The three elders couldn't help it anyway, and turned their heads and asked Zhou Yuanqing: "Boss, isn't it a little too embarrassing for this group of new disciples to go to the heart refining for the first sect assessment?" ”

Facing the question of the three elders, Zhou Yuanqing looked very calm, "The three elders are so bad, how can this be called embarrassing?" The path of cultivation is already difficult, and only those with a firm heart can go to the end, so it is also necessary to set up this spiritual level, isn't it? ”

"But...... This seems a bit out of place. The third elder wrinkled his brows and said, "The assessment of our Tianyin Sect has always been conducted in accordance with the usual practice, and now that you have suddenly changed the form of assessment, it is really a little unfair to this group of disciples. ”

"How can this be unfair?" Zhou Yuanqing seemed surprised.

"The form of this assessment was determined before the start of the examination, which ensures that no one can know the content of the assessment in advance, so that there is a situation of favoritism."

"Secondly, the specific content of the heart refining is woven by the beast itself according to the candidate's situation, and everyone is different, which is not known in advance, so there is no possibility of leaking the question."

"Finally, we can monitor the performance of each candidate in real time through the water mirror, and everyone can see the results, and there will be no misjudgments and misjudgments, which is really fair."

The third elder didn't seem to expect Zhou Yuanqing's rebuttal to be so clear and reasonable, and he was suddenly a little at a loss.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find anything to argue with, so he could only argue: "But this is not in line with the convention after all." ”

Of course, Zhou Yuanqing also knew that it was unconventional for him to do this, but what could he do?

Before going out this morning, Shen Yanqing ran to tell him that the assessment questions had been leaked, and it was his favorite disciple Yunyue who leaked the test questions.

In this case, what can Zhou Yuanqing do?

In addition to accepting Shen Yanqing's proposal to change the test questions, was there any way he could keep his personal disciple Yunyue and ensure that the assessment was carried out as usual?

The answer is, no.

Therefore, Zhou Yuanqing could only choose to listen to Shen Yanqing's words in the end, and temporarily changed the exam question to Lianxinguan.

But it was impossible for Zhou Yuanqing to tell the Third Elder these words, after all, it was also his own dereliction of duty to talk about this matter, and he failed to do the confidentiality work in place.

Thinking that he was almost forced to agree to Shen Yanqing's proposal, Zhou Yuanqing's heart was extremely uncomfortable.

In a bad mood, Zhou Yuanqing's face paled a little.

"What the three elders said is very true, and this seat also knows that this has broken the rules passed down by the ancestors, but as the saying goes, things are in a hurry, and the situation was urgent, and this seat couldn't care so much."

The third elder was a straight man, and there had never been any twists and turns in his mind, so he naturally couldn't hear the displeasure in Zhou Yuanqing's tone at this time, so he just asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Knowing that if he didn't give an answer, the three elders would definitely not give up, Zhou Yuanqing felt very annoyed in his heart, but on his face he looked worried about the future development of the sect.

"Third Elder, you are also an old man in the sect, I won't hide it from you what the situation of our Tianyin Sect has been all these years."

Zhou Yuanqing said: "Everyone in the world says that our Tianyin Sect is the largest and strongest cultivation sect on this Tianluo Continent, and the strongest in the sect is like a cloud, far surpassing the other three major sects. But have you noticed that in the past two hundred years, the speed of the advancement of the disciples in our sect has become slower and slower? ”

"Advancing the Slow Plains is nothing, although every time we open enrollment, our Tianyin Sect can receive a lot of new disciples with excellent qualifications, but over the years, except for Senior Brother Shen, everyone else has not advanced quickly, compared to the Four Seas Pavilion, Xiaoyao Palace and Shura Palace, it is even more difficult to beat, the three elders know why?" Zhou Yuanqing asked.

The Third Elder really hadn't studied this question, so when he heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

Seeing that the third elder was really led astray by himself, and no longer entangled in the things that did not conform to the conventions in the assessment content, Zhou Yuanqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said seriously: "At first, I didn't know why, but before I went out today, Senior Brother Shen came to talk to me. ”

"Senior Brother Shen said that the way of cultivation is to focus on refining the heart, and only when the heart is firm enough can we go far and advance quickly, and this is also the truth he has realized in his practice for so many years."

"It was also after listening to Senior Brother Shen's words that I realized that the slow progress of the disciples in our sect was actually because their hearts were not firm enough."

"It can be seen that the part of refining the heart is really important, and it is precisely because of this that I changed the assessment questions before the exam." Zhou Yuanqing finally explained.

As for Zhou Yuanqing's explanation, the third elder actually didn't hear it very clearly, because all his attention was attracted by the three words "Senior Brother Shen".

"Jade Halal-Jun?" The Third Elder's eyes widened after hearing this, and he asked in disbelief, "You mean to say that refining the heart is what the Jade Pure Monarch means?" ”

Zhou Yuanqing was very satisfied with the three elders' incomparably powerful ability to "focus on key points", but he still shook his head and said, "I can't say the same, I made the decision to change the topic, but I do want to thank Senior Brother Shen for his guidance." ”
