"Dao fruit is indeed a fruit-like thing, crystal like jade, it's hard to say whether you can eat it, after all, I haven't tasted it, there are many colors, it's not monotonous, it's definitely useful for cultivators, but it's useless for ordinary people, at best, it's a treasure collection. ”

Liu Wen said with a smile: "When I was in Hexi business, I met a foreign member who had a Dao fruit at home, very beautiful, water blue, it is said that hanging in the house can make the whole room have a trace of water vapor, and other uses are unknown, that Dao fruit is the ancestral heirloom of that member, it is said that there have been cultivators who bought it at a very high price, but this ancestral thing is more of a thought, and he is not short of money and has not been sold." ”

Yuan Lai nodded and said, "It sounds like a good thing, what kind of bucket can only be used for that fruit?"

"Well, it is said that although the attributes of the fruit are different, it is not a physical object that grows between heaven and earth, and it cannot be carried by ordinary things, and of course it is not only used to hold it in that bucket, for example, the one I have seen is carried by a special porcelain bottle, Dao bucket...... Its original meaning lies in its own shape. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The bucket is indeed a bucket, but its bottom is not flat, but pointed. Liu Wen said.

Yuan Lai was stunned, the bottom of the barrel is pointed, cone-shaped, he is not unfamiliar with such a bucket, legend has it that the little monk of Shaolin Temple is a pointed wooden barrel with a pointed bottom, this kind of barrel because the bottom is pointed, so it is difficult to find a suitable place to put down, so the little monk who draws water can not be lazy to park and put it, must always carry it, otherwise the barrel with the pointed bottom is not put properly, and the water inside will flow out.

"This Northern Sect is really good at playing. Yuan Lai sighed, he originally thought that the rules of picking the fruit of the road would lead to the candidates in groups of three or two to prevent the rest from looting, so there was a matter of candidates together, but after knowing the shape of the barrel, he thought of another meaning, since the barrel is made into this shape, then if you are tired, it will be difficult to rest, if you encounter robbery and even fight back, it will be very difficult, only a few people can take care of each other in a group to defend, or attack.

"No wonder these people are looking for companions. ”

"Then how should I pick this fruit?" asked Yuan Lai again.

Liu Wen shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but I heard that this fruit can't be picked directly by hand, if the way of picking is not right, the fruit can't be picked at the least, and it will be destroyed at all." ”

"Will it be damaged?" Yuan Laile was happy, he suddenly remembered the ginseng fruit in the Wuzhuang View of Wanshou Mountain in "Journey to the West", it is said that the ginseng fruit blooms every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and matures after another three thousand years, and the short head is 10,000 years before it can be eaten, and I remember that the fruit is also very particular about the method of picking.

"If the young master wants to know more, why don't you ask Miss Xie, although the Xie family doesn't practice, but I definitely know a lot more about the doorways here than I know. Liu Wen suggested that he still knew about Yuan Lai and Xie Caiwei's acquaintances.

Yuan Lai is as good as a stream, and he does not delay, and the retest is in front of him, as a male and female grasshopper on the same rope, he feels that he should also discuss it with Xie Caiwei.

But now it's getting late, so he said, "Okay, just tomorrow." ”

......

The next morning, Yuan Lai came to Xie Caiwei's small yard early, pushed open the door and the morning glory was still blooming gently, the fish in the pond were still swimming, and there was still a cat sleeping by the pond.

Xie Caiwei is reading, this is a habit that has been the same for more than ten years, and she reads seriously, even if Yuan Lai walks in, she still doesn't notice it.

"I'm going to have a retest tomorrow. ”

This sudden voice startled Xie Caiwei, and only after seeing that it was Yuan Lai, she glared at him with disgust and said, "Wait a while, there is still an article that I haven't remembered." ”

Xie Caiwei's memory is undoubtedly excellent, so Yuan Lai only waited for a while, and the girl closed the book, brushed her hair slightly tiredly, and said, "Yes, I will take the test again tomorrow, how are you preparing?"

"I didn't prepare, I didn't know what to prepare, I just knew that I had to pick the fruit, and I didn't know what the fruit looked like. Yuan Lai smiled and said frankly.

"Actually, there's nothing to prepare. Xie Caiwei thought for a while and said, "I haven't experienced the retest, and my family ...... There has never been a cultivator, so I can only read more and go all out. ”

"Then do you know how to pick that Dao fruit?"

Xie Caiwei pondered for a moment and said, "I know this, but in fact, the method of picking fruits is not difficult, and when the examination starts, there will be people from the Northern Sect to explain, and the most difficult part of the re-examination is not in the Dao Fruit itself but in the other three points." ”

"Which three?"

Xie Caiwei stretched out a finger and said: "First, it is generally not difficult to pick Dao fruits, the difficult thing is how to find Dao fruits, they will not grow on the tree for you to see at a glance." ”

"Second, you have to reach the finish line within the time limit, which is the most important thing, if you can't reach the finish line, then no matter how many fruits you get, it won't help. The girl held out a second finger.

"As for the third point, which is also the most difficult to measure, it is the other candidates. ”

Xie Caiwei became serious.

Yuan Lai also realized that the third point may be the key.

......

......

Fan Huangjia sat in a private room in a restaurant, in front of him were two candidates from the same Fan family, these two candidates were from a poor family, but they were talented, and they accepted the support of the Fan family since they were young, in order to help Fan Huangjia get the best ranking in the Beizong assessment, and the other candidates will still worry about betrayal after all, and the benefits are difficult to share。

There is no way to avoid this kind of thing after all, the Fan family is like this, and of course Zhao Xiping is like this.

At this time, Fan Huangjia said to the two young people of the same age in front of him, who were actually candidates:

"As for the third point, it's the most important thing. There is a lot of space in that small world, there are several mountains, if there is a scramble on the way to pick fruits, it is still light, after all, you can hide and counterattack, but you can escape if you can't fight, but there will be a problem here, that is, the more you want to get good results, the greater the danger, if I just want to pass the assessment and enter the Northern Sect, then I don't even need to pick any Dao fruits at all, just reach the end point as quickly as possible, but ...... Although the first and last places in the rankings are on the list, the treatment is very different!

I want to be the first place!

So it's inevitable to do it to other candidates, so where is the best time to do it? I can tell you that the most dangerous part of the whole re-examination is the section of the road that is about to reach the end at the end, there must be many people who have hit the idea there, the more they want to get a good ranking, the more they will work hard to pick more fruits, and the later they will reach the finish line, so when the time is about to end, those candidates who have gained the most confidence and the most will of course be the last people to rush to the finish line, if we set up a ...... in advance at the end of the road at that time."

Fan Huangjia laughed: "At that time, it depends on whose fists are harder!"
