Chapter VIII Yuehua Introductory Assessment
After Qingfeng watched the elders leave, he quickly turned around and entered the room to take care of Tianxin. At this time, the wound behind Tianxin had healed, which made Qingfeng feel a burst of surprise, Tianxin's healing speed was faster than that of his Dan stage monk. However, he felt that this was a good thing, the cultivation realm was extremely risky, and the faster the injury recovered, the more advantaged it would be.
On the second day, the third elder, He Xing, took the wind-sucking beast to the Yuehua Hall where the head was located. After bowing respectfully, he said, "Master, this is what Qingfeng said about the wind-sucking beast." At this time, the wind-sucking beast looked depressed, and Xuan Ying looked at the wind-sucking beast and thought, "There have never been demon beasts in the back mountain of my Yuehua Sect, how can such a demon beast appear." "The head of the house means that someone did it on purpose," He Xing said after thinking about it. Xuanying nodded, and said rightly, "It's not that it's not impossible."
Xuanying looked at the outside of the hall and said urgently, "Quickly find out the reason and report to me, if someone really does it, I can't say that we have to prepare to deal with it", He Xing bowed and said, "Then I will investigate now", and then turned around and withdrew from the Yuehua Palace.
All the elders of Tianhan Peak collectively went out to investigate but found nothing, and this wind-sucking beast seemed to appear out of thin air, and there was no trace of it. Over time, Yuehuazong also forgot about it.
In this way, two ordinary years have passed, and in these two years, Tianxin finally left his qi in the dantian, but he has been staying in the early stage of foundation building, and now he is just stepping into the cultivation realm, Tianxin has entered the Yangjing Academy for the fifth year, and it is also his last year in the Yangjing Academy. And Qingfeng has also successfully broken through in the past two years to become a Jindan period monk.
On this day, Confucius walked into the school normally, at this time he was already the same as five years ago, and the children were no longer the children they once were, looking at these students who had taught him for five years, Confucius couldn't help but feel sad, and parting was always sad.
Confucius coughed and said loudly, "Today is the last day for you to come to the school, tomorrow you can go to the Yuehua Sect to participate in the entrance assessment, what the master wants to teach you today is what the Tao is, the Tao is the law, everything is the law, everything is done, the meaning of what is done, the Tao is only the road, not the end, it is the method, not the ultimate, the Tao can be the way, the very Tao, the end of the Tao is the heart, knowing the road does not know the end, does not know the Tao, does not know what the Tao is, all the laws start from the heart, and eventually return to the heart." All laws are one, that is, the heart is the Buddha, the heart is Taiji, and if you don't know your own mind, you will talk about cultivation in vain."
Speaking of this, Confucius glanced at the children below, and each of them looked at Confucius with full attention, probably because of the last lesson, and they all listened very carefully. Confucius was deeply moved and said loudly, "The Tao begins with the heart, and the heart is the original thought of the cultivator, how many days have been arrogant in the way throughout the ages, it is because the heart of the Tao is not strong, the so-called heart is not enough, only those who adhere to the heart can go farther and farther on the road of the Tao......", Confucius has been talking and talking, for fear that he will miss something, he has said all the things he has felt over the years, and he hopes that the children who are sitting below and listening carefully can go further and smoother on the way of cultivation.
Confucius looked at the sky and whispered, "Let's go, children, go out of your own way", and left the school without looking back, he was afraid that he couldn't help crying, and the children were reluctant to leave the school.
After Tianxin left the school, he went straight back to Duyun Xiaoju, and after ten years, the female monkey became old, coupled with the last injury, the female monkey is now like a dying old man, no longer going back and forth between the monkeys and Duyun Xiaoju, it can no longer walk as flexibly as usual. Tianxin left it in Duyun Xiaoju and took care of it every day.
"Mother Monkey, I'm back", Tianxin shouted loudly from afar, and the female monkey squatted at the door and stood up to greet her, but she could only take one step or two, and it used to go crazy to pick up Tianxin. Now it has enough energy to spare, and can only watch Tianxin rush towards it.
Tianxin quickly rushed to the side of the female monkey and took the hand of the female monkey, he was still the obedient child, the female monkey still wanted to stroke Tianxin's head as before, and when he stretched out his hand, he found that he could not reach it. Tianxin has grown taller. Tianxin noticed the female monkey's movements, and he squatted down sensibly so that the female monkey could touch his head. One person and one monkey are still waiting for the breeze to come back as they did ten years ago.
The next morning, all the seventy-seven children of the Yangjing Academy gathered at the foot of the mountain to pass the entrance examination of the Yuehua Sect and then enter the Yuehua Sect. Tianxin was also among them, and although he had the lowest cultivation among all of them, he still wanted to enter the Yuehua Sect. And those who also studied Qi together have already become Qi Condensation Stage monks, only he is still in the early stage of foundation building.
Two unclear figures galloped from within the Yuehua Sect, and finally stopped in front of the children, it turned out to be the two elders of Qing Shui Qingmu, Qing Shui glanced at all the children and said loudly, "Today is the entrance assessment of the Yuehua Sect, I hope you can give full play to your greatest potential, there are three assessment contents: the first qualification, the second perseverance, and the third perception." After Qing Shui finished speaking, Qingmu continued, "Now everyone is lining up to inject qi into the Qi Spirit Bead, which is divided into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and those who light up the red orange will directly pass all the assessments." and the yellow, green, blue, blue and purple will enter the next round of assessment."
Soon the children were lined up to test their qualifications in turn. When it was Tianxin's turn, he was very nervous to inject the little qi in his body into the Qiling Bead, and as a result, the Qiling Bead was shown to be purple gold, and Qing Shui had never encountered such a situation and counted it directly according to purple, so Tianxin's qualifications were obviously not good, and he entered the second round of assessment. All the children finished the test, and in the end, only Gao Yi lit up the red, and Meng Hui and Long Rui lit up the orange.
Qing Shui took Gao Yi and the three of them away directly, and after Qing Shui left, Qing Mu took the remaining children to a ladder and said in a high voice: "Next, the second round of assessment, this ladder is set up by the founding patriarch of Yuehua Sect, there are a total of one hundred ladders, so it is called Baiyi Ladder, and those who have walked through half of them will enter the third round of assessment."
As soon as Qingmu finished speaking, the children were eager to try and ran directly to the Baiyi ladder to start climbing, and Tianxin walked over slowly, he often climbed the mountain back to Duyun Xiaoju, he knew that fast would only make the body very tired, and soon those very active children began to gasp for breath at the twenty to thirty steps, the more the Baiyi ladder went up, the greater the pressure, and the children behind continued to surpass them to the thirty to forty steps, when Qingfeng walked the Baiyi ladder with perseverance, Tianxin climbed up step by step and walked very slowly, and he was the only one who did not breathe. Slowly, most of the children passed fifty and continued to climb upwards.
In the end, there were only seven people who walked the Baiyi Ladder, two people on the ninety steps, nine people on the eighty steps, eleven people on the seventy steps, five people on the sixty steps, and three people on the fifty steps.
Qingmu took all the children who entered the third round to the square of Yuehuazong and said loudly, "The portrait you see in front of you now is painted by the founding patriarch, you have an hour to look at this picture, and then tell me what you have felt", only to see a picture of a tiger descending the mountain standing in the center of the square, and after hearing Qingmu's words, the children walked to the painting and watched.
Soon the children remained motionless as if they had settled down, and after half an hour the children continued to retreat backwards with frightened expressions on their faces. And Tianxin is also deeply involved at this time, he seems to have entered the painting, and the tiger in the painting comes alive and pounces on him, and Tianxin is fighting with the tiger. An hour passed, and Tianxin finally woke up from the painting, and he couldn't help but wonder when he saw that many people were frightened.
Kiyoki put away the portrait at this time and asked, "Do you have any feelings", the children with frightened faces shook their heads, while the children with unchanged faces nodded, and then Kiyoki asked the children who nodded in turn about their feelings, and in the end, only eighteen children said that the perception was courage, so the others were eliminated in the third round. And these eighteen really passed all the assessments, including Tianxin.
This is the end of the introductory assessment.
