Chapter Eighty-Six: The Introductory Test
These people were gathering in small circles to chat, looking around, excited, but they didn't notice Ye Chen who was looking at them.
It didn't take long for a group of more than a dozen Shaolin disciples wearing gray and white practice clothes and shaved heads to come over under the leadership of three Shaolin disciples wearing white practice clothes, and the first three cultivators wearing white practice clothes were significantly higher than gray clothes
Shaolin disciples, the same is true of the body.
These are Shaolin monks, that is, the disciples of the Luohan Hall, who are responsible for the recruitment of disciples, as soon as they came, everyone involuntarily stood up and looked at the thirteen Shaolin official disciples who came with anticipation.
The leading Shaolin disciple was tall and strong, holding an egg-thick wooden stick in his hand and slamming it to the ground, and said in a deep voice:
"I am the Shaolin Luohan Hall warrior monk Kongming, and I am responsible for the recruitment of disciples this time."
His gaze swept over everyone, and he paused on a few of them, and without any nonsense, he said very simply:
"This temple only recruits innocent disciples, now, if you have identification, please go to my right."
As soon as the words fell, there was a buzz in the crowd, and soon someone began to walk to the right, and Ye Chen also walked to the right.
On the right, there were already several Shaolin disciples standing there in two rows, and all of them had to walk between them and show them their identification.
Facts have proved that this step is very necessary, and it was quickly found out that an identity certificate was forged, not an identity certificate issued by the government, indicating that the fake certificate was not only found in modern times, but also existed in ancient times.
This person was politely invited out, which made the others a little nervous, and when it was Ye Chen's turn, he directly took out the identification certificate that Yulong gave him, not his own identification.
Just like an ID card, not many people will always carry it on their bodies, and the identity certificate of their body has long disappeared with the destruction of the Yizi Sword Gate, if it weren't for Yulong helping him get a certificate by the way, he would have to go home now.
Identifying your identity is only the first level, but as long as you pass this level, you can temporarily stay in Shaolin for a while, about a month or two, and you can practice the most basic martial arts in Shaolin.
This two-month time is the test and observation of character, and it is also the time for Shaolin to verify the identity of these people.
The treatment of each newcomer at the beginning is the same, working in the back mountain of Shaolin, planting vegetables and farming, carrying water, chopping wood, cooking and cleaning toilets and other tasks are all done by them, Ye Chen was assigned to carry water at the beginning, and at the same time learned Shaolin Arhat
Fist.
Every newcomer is qualified to learn a basic Shaolin kung fu regardless of whether they can pass the test in the future or not.
For example, the famous Shaolin Luohan Boxing, Shaolin Long Boxing, Shaolin Leg Method, Shaolin Stick Method, etc., can be learned, and even if you fail the test, you can take it out.
I don't know how many people in the world have learned Shaolin's basic martial arts and passed on these martial arts, and the so-called world's martial arts out of Shaolin came from this way.
The martial arts selected by Ye Chen is Luohan Boxing, the initial grade of this martial art is only one star lower grade, but there are as many as eighteen layers in total, which is very exaggerated, it is comparable to the average three-star martial arts, and even the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong is only thirteen layers
。
As a basic martial arts of Shaolin, Luohan boxing is easy to understand and difficult to refine, and the initial power is not very large, but if this basic boxing method can be cultivated to more than ten layers, the power will rise, it is said that according to a certain elder in Shaolin
It is said that if someone can cultivate Luohan Fist to the eighteenth level of perfection, he can directly become a core disciple of Shaolin and be qualified to practice any Shaolin mastery.
This is not a distant statement, it is true, but no Shaolin disciple has ever been able to cultivate this basic martial arts to the eighteenth layer, at least in the past hundred years.
In the next few days, Ye Chen took two wooden barrels down the mountain early in the morning to carry water up the mountain before dawn.
The two barrels are like those seen in the movie with a pointed bottom, and they have no flat poles and can only be carried up the mountain with both hands, and are said to be used to train the body and arm strength.
Shaolin martial arts is mainly strong, and the higher the physical strength, the greater the power, so the Shaolin disciples are all tall.
During this time, Ye Chen did not deal with those who came to him, nor did he take the initiative to contact them.
The body of the Adventist itself is the native of this world, and its physical habits are no different from ordinary people, as long as they do not deliberately show the habits and language of the Galactic humans, even if they are also Adventists, they will not recognize it.
During this test time, Ye Chen got up early every day to carry water, practiced martial arts, and studied Shaolin Luohan Boxing diligently.
However, he did not directly use his potential points to upgrade to Dacheng, but raised one level every few days, and after three months of the entire maximum test period, he could be promoted to the tenth layer, which was the result of his deliberate suppression.
But even so, his Luohan boxing progress was also the first in the same period, and even some Shaolin disciples who had stayed in the temple for a year or two could not compare to him.
As soon as the three-month test was over, all of them in the same period were gathered together, and a Shaolin disciple named Kongran Kongzi took out a list and said loudly:
"Now I read the name to the right, Zhang Qi..."
Immediately, a large man with his own hair shaved walked out to the right with a worried face.
"Li Yunlong, Wang Xiuyuan, Zhang Zhicai...."
One by one, the names came out and stood on the right.
Ye Chen stood in the crowd with an expressionless face, and after waiting for less than ten names, he heard his name, and went out of the queue normally, to the right.
The speed of reading the names in the air was very fast, and he read more than thirty names in less than a minute, and then put down the list and said to the rest:
"Except for the above I read the name, the rest please go down the mountain within three days, you do not meet the requirements of disciples of this temple."
As soon as his voice fell, the one hundred and nearly two hundred people present suddenly became noisy, and someone asked loudly:
"Why, I am conscientious every day, and I never dare to slack off in the assigned tasks, why can't I pass it?"
Empty asked with an expressionless face:
"What's your name?"
"Zhang Xuanye."
A Shaolin disciple on the side took out another stack of papers, flipped through them, took out one of them and handed it to Kong Ran, who picked up the paper and looked at it, and said to him with a trace of pity on his face:
"Your identity is no problem, you usually perform very well, but your qualifications to practice martial arts are not good, and it takes three months for your Shaolin Changquan to be able to cultivate to the first level, with your qualifications, even if you stay in Shaolin for ten years, you will not be able to succeed in cultivation.
Why waste this time, wouldn't it be better to go back early to marry a wife and have children? ”
But Zhang Xuanye was still unwilling, and said with a sad face:
"Master, even if you know my identity, you should also know why I came to Shaolin, my family was all killed by the Yuan people, and I want to practice martial arts to avenge them."
He knelt down and kowtowed heavily on the uneven rocky floor, and when he raised his head, his forehead was red:
"Please master it!"
