Chapter 205: Introductory Trial!
Ye Sen became the shopkeeper, but Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen were bitter, the two of them were not high-born, before joining the sect, Yan Chixia, who had the highest cultivation, had only been a head catcher for a few years, and Ning Caichen was a poor scholar who had not even been admitted to Xiucai.
The previous environment and status determined that the two had no opportunity to come into contact with any such large-scale and solemn festival, let alone have the experience to deal with it. For the two of them, it was the first time that they had hosted such a major event as the sect ceremony, so the two of them couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive at first.
Fortunately, after more than two months of preparation in advance, as well as countless times of reading various classics, consulting various materials, and rehearsing in advance, the two of them are familiar with the various processes of the canon. After the initial nervousness and adaptation, the two quickly entered the role, according to the script, and completed almost most of the next ritual process step by step.
With the passage of time, the ceremony soon came to the highlight of the opening ceremony - the entrance test, the selection of disciples, this most important part.
In order to be able to select the disciples (fighters) who are satisfied with themselves! Ye Sen even did not hesitate to spend nearly two thousand points to exchange a trial stone tablet from the cultivation realm from the system mall. The effect of this trial stone tablet is very simple, but the effect is extremely powerful, only need to spend nine low-level spirit stones or infusion of corresponding spiritual power, you can open a trial array that can accommodate a thousand people, and pull all a thousand people into the illusion world for trials at one time.
Then the phantom realm will automatically conjure up a variety of horror or bloody scenes to test the endurance and willpower of the paper people participating in the trial, and will also be unable to withstand the blow, the trial paper man that is about to collapse will automatically kick out of the illusion, it can be said that both the function and the effect are extremely perfect. Therefore, two thousand points is definitely worth the price for Ye Sen.
The method of presiding over the trial array, Ye Sen handed it over to Yan Chixia a long time ago, so when the test began, Xiahou, who was responsible for maintaining order, took the officials brought by Hu County's order to supervise and select all the school-age teenagers in the square, and formed a team of thousands of people, and brought them into the scope of the trial stele.
Soon, after Yan Chixia urged the mana to be instilled into the eye of the array, a burst of white smoke appeared within a kilometer radius of the stone stele, and almost all of them were enveloped by the phantom array in an instant, and fell into the illusion...
I don't know if it's because the illusion is too terrifying, or because the people participating in the trial are too young and their minds are not yet sound, less than a few minutes after the trial started, there were people screaming that Yan Chixia used mana to throw out of the illusion array, fell to the ground, and fell into a rolling gourd...
One hundred, two hundred, three hundred..... five hundred... In less than a cup of tea, nearly 500 people were rejected by the phantom array and withdrew from the trial in embarrassment, and most of them were ordinary peasant children, but the children of the powerful rarely saw them...
"Those who have less than one cup of tea are all unqualified! Those who have more than one cup of tea and less than half a pillar of incense can choose to worship in the outer gate and become a disciple of the outer gate! If you have made enough meritorious achievements, you can be promoted to the inner door! Those who have more than half a pillar of incense are inner disciples and can be taught Taoist powers! Those who persist the longest will pass on their disciples to the head! ”
Hearing Yan Chixia's cold and emotionless voice coming out of the phantom array, almost all the people who remained in the square couldn't help but shudder, and then couldn't help but send out bursts of horror from their hearts.
Especially the more than 500 trialists who had just been kicked out were even more sad, and they couldn't help but shed tears of humiliation or sadness. If they are not qualified, it means that they have completely failed this trial, and I am afraid that they will have no hope of being with the immortals in this life!
Seeing the corners where the end of the trial was gathered on the side of the square, those young people who were crying bitterly, Hu County, who was the parent official of Guobei County, couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said with regret: "My lord, is this trial too cruel?" There are nearly 600 people, and all of them are driven away, and not a single one is left? ”
"None of them will be left!" Ye Sen looked at the crowd indifferently, and whispered in a voice that only he, Hu Xianling, and several people around him could hear: "My Heavenly Dao Sect absorbs new disciples, not to teach people to live forever, but to kill demons and protect the common people in the world. If you can't bear even this little fear, how can you talk about slaying demons and fighting those more ferocious demons and monsters in the future? Therefore, we only accept the most resolute and courageous disciples! The rest, neither! ”
"Brother is right!" When the little fox heard this, he also raised his hand in approval, and said with a pretty face full of disdain: "What we want are fighters who can face demons directly, not this kind of soft-footed shrimp that will cry when they encounter ghosts or blood!" This kind of person is not qualified to join our Heavenly Dao Sect! ”
Hearing the opinions and comments of the little fox and Ye Sen one after another, Hu Xianling couldn't continue to insist on persuasion, but with a little sadness, he sighed, shook his head and said, "Alas! What the fairy aunt said is extremely true! Xia Guan just thinks that it is a pity that these children of good families are abandoned like this! ”
"Cultivation is not so simple!" Ye Sen glanced at Hu Xianling deeply, and said meaningfully: "In addition to the mind, the most important thing in cultivation is the qualification, whether there is the qualification of cultivation or not is extremely important for those who cultivate the Tao. People with superior qualifications often practice the exercises for thousands of miles a day, and those who practice for three years or even more than ten years of penance in one year are on top of others. And those with dull qualifications, no matter how many resources they expend, their cultivation speed is often not as fast as those with outstanding talents, and they will only end up in vain after half their lives. If it weren't for the compulsion of the situation, this seat would never have done such an inappropriate act, let alone let so many disciples enter my sect to cultivate. It must be known that there are billions of living beings in the world, but only one heir to the mantle may be enough! Even if there are exceptions, there will never be more than ten! ”
"Uh..."Hearing Ye Sen's words, Hu Xianling was completely speechless, only one person out of hundreds of millions, what is the probability? I'm afraid that the legend says that there are 3,000 weak waters, and only one scoop is taken, and that's it! No wonder there have been few traces of cultivators, and those who dare to choose successors are so harsh! If it weren't for the fact that two months ago, an immortal master fell from the sky, and it happened that the immortal master was defeated by the thousand-year-old tree demon and encountered great stimulation, I'm afraid this kind of immortal fate would not be their turn in Guobei County!
As soon as he thought of this, Hu Xianling didn't dare to continue to entangle, even if he closed his mouth tightly, he didn't dare to say another nonsense. For fear that he would annoy Ye Sen, he changed his mind. Compared with only one person among hundreds of millions, this kind of dumpling that can leave nearly 500 people in a thousand years is already a dumpling falling from the sky!
