Eventually
Xuanyuan calendar 1522
October 15th
Mao time
At the crack of dawn.
At this time, it had been more than half a month since the last time Qin Xiao used Purple Thunder to help Xiaocha and Gu Changshun temper their physical bodies.
A faint ray of morning sun outside the house shone through the narrow and dilapidated window in Qin Xiao's house, and fell on Qin Xiao's delicate face without waves, and the slightest warmth made Qin Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly wake up from his cultivation. Looking at the sky outside, he muttered to himself.
"It's finally coming, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. ”
That's right, the annual selection conference for outer disciples will be held today. And Qin Xiao has been preparing for this day for a long time, he has been in this world for more than a few months, and the days of being a miscellaneous disciple have already passed enough, it is time to start meeting new challenges.
In fact, people who can achieve something on the path of martial arts are already the identity of outer disciples as early as when they enter the sect, just like the original Qin Xiao, because they were born to awaken and cherish the attributes, so they entered the Cangling Sect as a disciple of the outer sect from the beginning. After all, not everyone's cultivation qualifications can be revealed early, and almost every year, a few disciples like Li Tienan who have good cultivation talent and firm will emerge from logistics departments such as the Miscellaneous Service Academy and the Dan Pavilion. Of course, so far, Li Tienan has still stood out from the selection of the outer door, and he has achieved the highest cultivation.
There is only one condition for those who participate in the selection, that is, they have already entered the forging realm, and the rest is not concerned.
After the contestants draw lots, they will compete in pairs, and the final six people will enter the outer gate. Of course, even if you enter the outer gate, it is not once and for all, if you can't enter the three realms of forging within a year, you will still have to be re-demoted to a miscellaneous disciple, of course, for Qin Xiao, who is already infinitely close to the four realms of forging bodies, this is no longer a problem.
Qin Xiao had no doubts about whether he could win the first place in this selection, after all, among the people who would participate in the selection, the largest number of people was the Miscellaneous Servants' Academy, followed by the Lanxiangfang and the Canteen, and finally the Dan Pavilion. And Qin Xiao, who has the largest number of people in the miscellaneous courtyard, knows very well that he is already the strongest, as for the other departments, Qin Xiao doesn't think that there will be many accidents, after all, his strength has already belonged to the level of outer disciples.
Because of the reason for this selection, the entire miscellaneous academy will have a three-day holiday today, except for leaving some disciples on duty as usual, others can go to see the excitement regardless of whether they participate in the selection or not, and those who voluntarily stay on duty will also get some rewards at that time.
When Qin Xiao opened the door to wash, he sent out that Song Dezheng had already waited outside his door early, and when he saw himself coming out, his eyes instantly lit up, which was almost comparable to the morning sun. Then hurriedly greeted him with a series of flatteries and sycophants.
"Congratulations to the senior brother who is going to return to the outer door today, the senior brother has been clumsy for two years, and today he will finally shine, this is the so-called no-sound, a blockbuster ......"
Sure enough, although Song Dezheng's sycophant kung fu is really good, Qin Xiao has long been immune to these flattering words, seeing that Song Dezheng seems to have a tendency to talk endlessly, Qin Xiao hurriedly waited impatiently for him and said.
"Shut up. ”
"Ordered. ”
Regarding Qin Xiao's impatient attitude, Song Dezheng seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and he didn't care at all, and when he heard Qin Xiao's drinking, he still replied with a smile on his face, and the appearance of the underbeating made Qin Xiao want to punch him in the face very much.
After washing, I went to the dining hall and had breakfast, and the time for the selection was approaching.
At this time, whether it was the people who wanted to participate in the selection or the people who watched the excitement, they all slowly walked towards the White Crane Peak where the outer disciples were located, except for the disciples who volunteered to stay on duty and those who completely gave up martial arts, there were still seven or eight hundred disciples in the seventh room of the Miscellaneous Fish Courtyard who went to the White Crane Peak together, even if there were less than a hundred participants.
The selection will be held on a large open space paved with blue bricks outside the Baihefeng Mountain Gate where the disciples of the outer sect live, and several temporary rings will be used for the selection competition. The reason for choosing the place of selection here is to take the meaning of carp jumping over the dragon gate. After crossing this level, you will truly embark on the starting point of the martial arts path.
A group of hundreds of people walked mightily between the mountains, like a long dragon entwined among the mountains. The participants in the team who are familiar with each other either encourage each other, or are hostile to each other, and they seem to want to disturb each other's minds before the selection begins, so as to win without a fight. And there are more people around to watch the excitement, around the discussion of the question of which is stronger and weaker, but also spittle, saliva splashing, and even more because of disagreement, at the beginning can still be reasonable with the facts, but in the end no one can convince anyone, if it is not for the people next to him to stop, it will be a real move in the boxing method. In addition, there are countless private gamblers and ill-intentioned gamblers.
Unlike the other participants in the selection who were surrounded by people on the inner and outer three floors, Qin Xiao was empty next to him, and Song Dezheng wanted to get closer, but under Qin Xiao's cold eyes, even if he was thick-skinned, he could only retreat to the crowd to carry out his favorite lip work.
And the others didn't dare to come forward to talk to Qin Xiao, although not all of these people had bullied Qin Xiao in the past, but occasionally encountered some cold words, and now Qin Xiao has become the strongest recognized by the Miscellaneous Servants, but not everyone has a good face to send Dezheng.
In this way, a group of miscellaneous disciples bustled on the road to Baihe Peak, and during the process, they also met with some Dange disciples or female disciples of Lanxiangfang, Qin Xiao originally wanted to find Gu Changshun and Xiaocha, but there were too many people present, so he could only give up.
Soon a group of people arrived at the open space outside the gate of Baihefeng Mountain, only to see that several rings had already been set up on the ground paved with blue bricks, and several rows of chairs were placed outside the gate of Baihefeng Mountain at the same time for the referee and some outer disciples to sit on this selection.
"Everyone, be quiet for the time being, and the disciples who participated in the selection have all come to my side to evaluate the qualifications for the election. ”
At this time, a hearty voice came into everyone's ears, and the sound didn't seem to be loud, but the thousands of people on the field really listened to it.
"Master, not inferior to Li Tienan, too many masters. ”
Qin Xiao looked up and saw a slender Qin Xiao with a handsome face looking at everyone with a smile on his face. The most impressive thing about this person is his pair of eyebrows, when he looks at everyone with a smile, two black sword eyebrows are raised high, and a pair of big eyes seem to contain this sunshine, which makes people feel good at first sight.
Of course, all the people who are old in the trajectory of identifying the candidacy will not have any objections. It's also very simple, but it's also very straightforward. As long as the disciples who are participating in the election step forward one by one and shake the hand of the master who has just spoken, it is enough for that person to be qualified, and those who are qualified to continue to run for election will be directly withdrawn.
Nearly 300 people grew into a long dragon and shook hands with that person one by one, and that person only used the power of the second realm of forging body to shake hands with people, and those who could hold on for a while would be eligible to run for the election, and those who couldn't do it would be eliminated from it immediately.
In the middle, many people whose strength did not meet the standard value were eliminated, but most of them were able to meet the requirements, after all, those who dared to come to the election were all those whose strength was at least the peak of the forging realm.
When it was Qin Xiao's turn, the person who was appraised in front of his team was a female disciple of Lanxiangfang, and at this time, because the appraisal could not pass, he couldn't help but start wiping away tears, and the person who was responsible for the appraisal of everyone was constantly comforting the female disciple.
"Looks like a nice guy. ”
Seeing that the female disciple had no intention of stopping, the person smiled apologetically at Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao shook his head and said that he didn't mind, and finally appeased the female disciple, Qin Xiao walked quickly to his side, arched his hand, and then casually stretched out his right hand to signal that he could start testing.
"Brother, pay attention. ”
The man also stretched out his right hand to hold Qin Xiao's right hand and began to exert his strength slowly, while Qin Xiao also exerted his strength little by little. Soon, the strength of that person had reached the second realm of forging body, but he was slightly surprised by Qin Xiao's cultivation when he saw that Qin Xiao still looked at ease, if it weren't for the fact that there were still many people lined up behind Qin Xiao waiting for identification, he would definitely test Qin Xiao's limit, but at this time, since Qin Xiao was already qualified, he let go of his hand with a smile and praised.
"Not bad. ”
"Thank you, brother, for the compliment. ”
Qin Xiao replied with a polite smile again, and then withdrew from the team and began to wait for the competition to begin.
At this time, several rows of chairs at the mountain gate were already full, and the stewards of each room were in a row, and the disciples of the outer gate were in the middle of a row, and in the middle was an old man with a tall figure, a majestic face, and no anger and self-authority, which was the first Lihua Courtyard in the outer gate.
Soon the qualification appraisal was over, and then under the command of the judges, the participants in the selection quickly completed the draw, and in this way, the first opponent that Qin Xiao had to face came out.
Qin Xiao didn't care who his opponent was at all, it wasn't that he was too conceited, but with his strength, it was really unlikely that he would meet any opponents in this level of selection.
"Quiet"
Another majestic voice came into everyone's ears, only to see that at this time, the first Lihua Courtyard in the outer gate had already stood up, and everyone present saw that it was the first to speak, and the whole scene was quiet, at this time, I am afraid that even if a needle falls to the ground, everyone can listen softly.
Seeing the expressions of everyone present, Li Shouza gently brushed his snow-white long beard, nodded with satisfaction and said.
"This seat announced that the selection of the outer door has officially begun. ”
