Chapter 164: Selection of Confession (4)
There are ten thousand Gu mounds in the rain and smoke pavilion, and there are a few dust and rotten bones!
An old man in a black robe, his cloudy eyes stared at the words carved on the stone in front of the pavilion, drowsy.
The Miao people in Heishui Hanoi are mainly made of bamboo, and the only special case is this Yuyan Pavilion, a magnificent seven-storey pavilion composed of bricks and tiles.
He couldn't remember how many years he had been taking care of this Rain and Smoke Pavilion, and he was used to falling asleep at night with the noisy sound of the Gu worms wriggling and eating their kind.
He was an alcoholic, in a state of deep alcoholism, and his hands trembled from time to time.
The faint old eyes ushered in the morning after drinking again, and in the many years that have passed, the teenagers who come and go in the rain and smoke pavilion are getting old.
Among these people, there are the two clan witch rams and the Qingrong of the Zongzheng of the current clan, where the three high priests once appeared when they were young, and Tong Jia Muqiu also appeared in this pavilion where Gu was hidden for many years.
Now, Yuyan Pavilion is about to usher in a glorious day again.
The drunken old man guarding the door woke up in the morning and could even feel the faint restless smell of Gu worms in the seven-story pavilion, and the surging crowd of jubilant people in the distance was gradually approaching.
"Suyou Selection" is about to usher in the second round of selection, and the heroic faces of the teenagers under the light are full of joy, they are the best nine juniors of this generation of Heishuihe.
On this day, the number of Miao teenagers who ran for election in front of Yuyan Building dropped sharply, and the cruel law of competition was about to be staged again in this group of surviving descendants.
"On this day, the main test is the level ability of Gu control and even the imperial Gu, and the strength of the Gu worms covered on each floor of the seven-story pavilion is uneven." Erlei explained quietly.
The seven-storey towering pavilion building symbolizes the seven levels of the ancestors of the Jiuli people, from simple to complex, from shallow to deep.
Corresponding to the seven levels of Gu worm evil things distributed in the seven-story pavilion, from the Gu worms that could be controlled by the lowest level Gu disciple level to the sixth level of the Great Witch level.
And the last layer is only circulated in the childhood stories taught by the ancestors of the Miao people, that is the secret of the realm that can be spied into by the "ancestral witch", since the completion of the Yuyan Pavilion for thousands of years, only Tong Jia's to frost has entered the top of the pavilion.
"Why is there a distinction between controlling Gu and imperial Gu, aren't the two the same thing?" Han Qingxin showed a strong interest, and the more she knew, the more useful it might be for Zhu Beichen.
"Let me answer it for you." Three thousand appeared in front of the four of them, and his previous day's examination school ranking was behind Zhu Beichen, which had aroused his strong jealousy. The dwarf has a very high IQ, and he understands that the only question in his essay exam is that he has not answered, and this is the gap between the two essay exams.
Gu insects have been cultivated and refined through secret methods to form a special spiritual consciousness, or it can be said to be the evolution of biological intelligence belonging to the species, and the level of spiritual consciousness and its own potential determines the quality stratification of Gu insects.
The highly poisonous insect Gu is like a hedgehog covered with spikes, and its own temperament is fierce and violent.
Therefore, there is a saying of "control Gu" in the witch Gu terminology of the Jiuli clan, which is taken to appease the natural anger of these creatures, so that they will not attack the Gu master himself, which is "control".
Therefore, in the witch Gu examination schools from ancient times to the present, the determination of whether a Gu person is promoted to the level mainly depends on the ability to "control Gu", and only after holding can he further study the way of "Imperial Gu".
"Imperial Gu" means urging Gu worms to act according to the wishes of the Gu master, either to attack the opponent or to relieve the disease, according to the situation and the situation.
Zhu Beichen took a step forward, put his arm around the three thousand, and whispered by his ear, "Shorty, the next Brother You Xuan is determined with you, yesterday pressed you, today is the same, and the day after tomorrow is even more so." ”
Sanqian gritted his teeth fiercely and pushed Zhu Beichen's body away angrily, "Let's go and knock." ”
"Also, I hate it when people call me short."
"Brother!" Er Lei called three thousand worriedly, and this lonely back was reflected in her heart several times.
They are all for the same woman, three thousand are obsessed with the girl in the bamboo building on the riverside, Brother Beichen, are you the same? Frost shrouded Erlei's delicate face.
Seven understood the little girl's heart, and caressed Erlei's shoulder and comforted.
The moment was the same as the day before, but the place changed again.
The distant ancient bell sounded on time, transmitting the signal of the opening of the "Gu Control" trial, and the second selection was unveiled.
On this day, the main examiner who came to Yuyan Pavilion was a big man, the sorcerer Zong Zheng Qingrong in the clan, and Aunt Mo Yu stood on the side.
The quaint buildings and pavilions will not be unfamiliar to every Miao people, and the children of the clan will choose the corresponding number of layers according to their own strength level, and no one will climb the top in vain, and the consequence of the failure of Gu control is to directly become the food nutrients of Gu worms.
Ning Yun warned Zhu Beichen with concern: Suitable, it can be stopped. Forcibly climbing the peak will only cost you your life.
"Each layer will have an examiner with the corresponding ability to be present, but they will not help you, I advise all the juniors in the clan, stop when you stop." Mo Yu calmly and succinctly introduced that staying on each floor for more than a quarter of an hour means that it has been successfully passed.
The dusty thick wooden door of the rain and smoke pavilion slowly opened, and the vicissitudes of history drifted from the door to the outside.
Zong Zheng Qingrong and Mo Yu stepped into the pavilion first, followed by the high priests on the fourth floor of the main town, followed by the Gu Master Elders, and finally the ten young talents who participated in the election.
"Be careful when you go in, you don't have to control those dirty and disgusting things, it's the same when you slaughter them." Han Qingxin explained lightly, thinking that this was all a way to cheat.
The light in the pavilion was dim, and the surrounding air was filled with the rancid smell of Gu insect corpses, and a thick layer of black ash was precipitated on the ground under Zhu Beichen's feet, which was the dust after the decay of Gu insects in the past dynasties, turning into nutrients to nourish and transform this pavilion.
The pavilion is a square building, and there are dozens of Gu rooms divided between each floor, dividing the names of Gu insect species, and the chief examiner is located in the middle of the outer room, responsible for the record of the candidates in the venue.
Three Thousand sneered contemptuously, and went straight through the staircase in the center of the field to the upper floor, where the level was too low to let him waste his time again.
The Miao candidates from all families walked towards the steps, and only Zhu Beichen was left in the empty floor.
The chief examiner on the first floor grinned helplessly, it would be the saddest thing if the best juniors in this group all stopped at this level.
"You can choose any small room, stay for a quarter of an hour, and walk out of the customs safely." He noticed that the young man in front of him was wearing the clothes of Hermes-Epitek under the cape of the black seedling.
"Oh, I'd better go up then." Zhu Beichen said lightly.
"Little one, you have to think about it, no matter how many floors you go up, you will have to choose a room after all."
His subtext implied that the higher he went, the greater the chance of dying.
Zhu Beichen is not a Miao Min, and he expects that this young man's level will not be too high. These words sounded harsh, but in fact they were for the sake of the young man.
