Chapter 359: The Real Beginning
Since he has come here, he naturally can't refuse not to continue forward, but to continue to move forward, he has to walk into the city gate with this guard, and what kind of scene is behind the city gate, no one knows.
Wu Chen looked behind him during the march, and reminded the people behind him with his eyes and mouth that there might be danger after entering the city gate, so he must be cautious and always be vigilant.
The disciples have also been trained in the magic circle for many years, and in order to ensure the safety of most people, everyone tacitly adjusts their pace, some walk faster, some walk slower, and gradually turn into an elliptical formation.
There are people in all directions who pay attention to it, so that the whole will not fall into passivity, and if someone sneaks up in any direction, they can find it.
"Please—" Coming to the city gate, the other guards did not speak, and the only one who spoke stretched out his hand.
The city gate was open in an instant, it was wide open, but even if they stood in front of the city gate, the city gate was filled with a thick gray mist, and they could not see the grass and trees inside.
But the city gate was open enough for everyone to enter, Wu Chen glanced at everyone, and then stepped into the city gate.
Stepping in, the fog gradually cleared.
Wu Chen turned around and said, "Everyone be careful, the thick fog is starting to disperse." "This means that the real test is about to begin.
As a result, he looked around in amazement for a long time, unable to suppress the consternation in his heart.
"Lan Zi?"
"Sloppy?"
"Toto?"
He tried to call them by name, and the three of them had been closest to him all the way, and before he entered the door, he was sure that they were beside him, but now that he looked around, where was the shadow of a person?
Not only was there no human figure, but even the huge and heavy city gate that had just walked in had disappeared.
The world is so big, only Wu Chen is standing alone in the world where the fog is about to dissipate.
This illusion made Wu Chen realize what it means to be strong......
Not only can it be shaped into a real-world experience, but it can even completely separate people who are close at hand, and no one will respond to the call.
At the same time as Wu Chen and the others entered the city gate, most of the big people in the White Deer Cave who watched the test were also ready to disperse, which was equivalent to the official Tianque test.
Although after the end of the first level, the location of each disciple and the final outcome are different, except for those who give up voluntarily, everyone else will see this city wall in front, and when they enter the city wall, the big people can only see the misty fog outside, and then they can't see the situation inside.
Only those who have participated in the Tianque trial molding can vaguely see the next level and the situation of the following levels after the fog.
The fog in front of Wu Chen's eyes gradually dissipated, and he heard some chattering voices, which were a group of children.
Not far in front of him was a wooden temple, surrounded by dozens or hundreds of children, among whom sat a thin little boy.
It seemed that the children surrounded by the outer circle were sarcastically mocking the thin child.
There was a little fat man in front of the children, and he looked at the thin boy even more domineeringly, and his eyes seemed to say: I am just laughing at you, idiot, are you angry!
Today is the day that comes once a year here to screen out qualified children. If anyone's children here can be chosen by cultivators, they are all proud to walk with their heads up.
The skinny little boy had been running with him several times since he could remember. He can't practice, and he doesn't give up hope when he comes here, but he still comes every time, because there are a few partners who have played well with him, and it is possible to be chosen, and he hopes to share the joy of being chosen with them.
He remembered that a year ago, one of his playmates was taken in as an apprentice by one of the most convincing monks of the villagers, when the monk took him away from the stage of the selection of people, and the usually low-key and shy partner, with a face full of spirit and pride, his father and mother also came to the square, this honor is not available to anyone.
The rest of the parents who were watching around also congratulated his father and mother, and they couldn't envy him. You see how white and festive other people's children are, and they are born with extraordinary qualifications, and the neighbors have long known that he will have such a glorious day.
Wu Chen's heart was shocked, this feeling was so familiar.
Everything in front of him brought back his buried memories, and he suddenly realized that the thin and stubborn child seemed to be himself.
When I was a kid, I looked like this.
In a group of children, the thin Wu Chen is indeed very unsociable, and it is normal to be looked down upon by children with good qualifications occasionally. Because since Wu Chen lost his memory due to a head injury, and joined this group of children after recuperation, they found that the children with the worst qualifications could also raise their heads and walk, because Wu Chen couldn't practice.
Another point is that although Wu Chen has such qualifications, he is very unkind to everyone when he sees him. When you encounter someone who bullies you and never compromises and is arrogant, how can you not annoy people.
"Hey, Wu Chen, what are you doing today!" Wu Chen was looking at the situation in front of him in a daze, and there was already a child king shouting to little Wu Chen.
This tone is like an elder teaching a child.
Wu Chen didn't even raise his head, nor did he say anything.
"I'll ask you!" The little fat boy Wang asked again: "People who can't practice just don't have good brains, and today we are going to participate in the selection of monks, so you don't have to come!"
"Go home quickly, or you'll be embarrassed again!" someone shouted for help.
"I can't go home or not, it's your business!" Xiao Wuchen raised his head, his eyes resolute.
Wu Chen, who was standing in the distance like a bystander, looked at the thin body, and then looked at the rugged and winding seaside mountain road, and made up a line in his heart, do you know how far I have to run back home, I just came here and have to rest!
Seeing that Xiao Wuchen was resisting him, the child's face changed, and he was about to intensify when he stepped forward, when another sturdy child squeezed in from the side, hurriedly squeezed between the little fat man and Xiao Wuchen and said, "Don't make trouble, the monks are almost here!"
The little fat man smiled contemptuously and said to the child who was persuading: "Just because you also want to persuade peace, how much better do you think you are than him?"
The sturdy boy who persuaded him pulled Xiao Wu Chen aside and said comfortingly: "Wu Chen, you shouldn't have heard his words." ”
Xiao Wuchen nodded, and suddenly saw his adoptive father coming over, he looked at himself with generous and gentle eyes, as if he had guessed that he had been bullied just now.
The more his adoptive father is like this, the more guilty Wu Chen becomes, his family is already poor, and because he can't practice, his adoptive father is often inferior.
The adoptive father walked over to him, he bowed his head slightly, and reached out to rub Xiao Wu Chen's hair.
Xiao Wuchen raised his head and looked into his adoptive father's eyes.
What is father's love, Wu Chen has found the answer in his father's eyes since he was a child.
Because there is no mother, of course, there is no father, the adoptive father treats him like a father and a mother, and the love and tenderness in his eyes are more than other fathers.
Wu Chen looked at it, and the emotion in his heart surged into his eyes, and his eyes were a little moist and stinging.
He was surprised to find that the person who looked at Xiao Wuchen was actually himself.
