XLV. Testing
When he arrived at the main altar of the Xigeng faction in Dingyuan City, Chen Peng first went to order a mao, and then went to the guest room to rest. Dingyuan City www.biquge.info is much larger than Xiping City, but Chen Peng has no desire to visit it. Originally, when he first became a monk, he would go to eat local food when he went to a place, but now even this idea is faint. Because since he began to come into contact with the world of monks, he has become more and more aware that this world has its own system, as far as food is concerned, there are even sects that specialize in spiritual food, and if you want to eat, you have to go to the Xiuzhen Market and go there to taste spiritual food.
Chen Peng made up his mind in his heart, after the selection of unsuccessful monks, he would definitely go to the Xiuzhen Market in Dingyuan City, and it was expected that it would definitely be much more prosperous than the Xiuzhen Market in Xiping City. If possible, the spiritual food for monks can also be tasted, and as for the goods, there are also them. When Chen Peng was cultivating in Cangyun Mountain, Kui Gang had already been to Qingyun Pavilion, and the Demon Suppression Pestle had been sold, and the price was higher than the reserve price given by Chen Peng, a total of twenty yuan of steel was sold, and Qingyun Pavilion raised two parties and there were eighteen square left. However, whether you can have a good taste depends on the results of going to the black market to buy Dan furnace and medicinal materials, if there is some Yuan Steel left, Chen Peng plans to ask Kui Gang for some, and go to Xiuzhen Restaurant to have a full meal. As for the monk's ready-to-wear shop mentioned by Kui Gang, it's okay to take a look, but Chen Peng doesn't have the luxury of buying one to wear.
After resting for a night, Chen Peng went to the trial place for a test the next day. It's not that you can participate in the competition if you click Mao, but you have to pass the test of the Xigeng faction first. There are a lot of unsuccessful monks in each county, there are a total of 18 counties in Liuzhou, and I don't know how many unsuccessful monks there are. Therefore, the Xigeng faction set a threshold before the competition, and only when it meets this minimum standard can it be qualified for the competition.
When he arrived at the place of trial, there were already a lot of people waiting here at this time, Chen Peng went here to report his name, but found that there were already six monks lining up in front of him.
"Don't be busy going back first, if you have time, you can go to the trial ground to see what is going on with this test of our Xigeng faction, so you can prepare in advance. The disciple of the Xigeng faction who was in charge of registration was a little kind, and when he saw that Chen Peng was about to leave after registering, he reminded him.
"Oh, can you see it beforehand? Chen Peng was a little surprised.
"Of course, you can go into this courtyard and walk along the stone path through a heavy garden, and enter the arch that is the place of trial, and the Taoist friends can go in. β
"I'm tired. Chen Peng hugged his fists, got up and entered the courtyard gate, and sure enough, there was a stone road that stretched out in a zigzag way. Along the stone road to an arched stone door, Chen Peng heard bursts of shouting in his ears, mixed with squeaky chirping. When he arrived, Chen Peng looked at it, but he was taken aback, but there was a monk fighting with a monkey in front of him, the monkey jumped up and down, extremely flexible, and the monk almost hit the monkey several times, but it narrowly avoided it. Looking to the side, there are five other monkeys standing aside. These monkeys, however, did not stand still, but stood there watching their companions and monks fight each other, very attentive. Moreover, these monkeys were much larger than ordinary apes, and they were twelve or thirteen years old, with a white hair on the top of their heads, and they looked like they were wearing a small white hat, which was very funny.
"Fellow Daoist, what are you doing? Chen Peng looked a little confused, and asked the monk of the Xigeng faction on the side.
The monk looked Chen Peng up and down and said, "You just came, it's okay, I'll tell you." This spirit monkey was raised by our Xigeng faction, and these six have just reached the realm of Xiaocheng, who has reached the advanced realm. The unsuccessful monks selected this time must first go through the test of our Xigeng faction. This test is that the spirit monkey must be defeated within a stick of incense, otherwise there is no qualification for the competition. β
Chen Peng was a little surprised: "Where did so many monkeys come from and have opened up the meridians, it's too much of a coincidence." β
The monk of the Xigeng faction looked at Chen Peng and said as if he saw the countrymen entering the city: "These monkeys are a special product of the Hengduan Mountain Range where the mountain gate of our Xigeng faction is located, and they are called white-headed giant apes. The meridians in the monkey's body are the same as those in humans, with 12 meridians, 12 meridians, 12 meridians and 8 strange meridians. In ancient times, I didn't know that there was a good thing for the monks, and they fed the monkey Jue Yuan Dan, and found that the Jue Yuan Dan was also useful for monkeys. Our Xigeng faction regularly catches the monkeys in the mountains and feeds them to Jue Yuan Dan, and those monkeys who have not awakened their vitality will be released, and those monkeys who have awakened their vitality will be domesticated by someone to teach them to cultivate the true exercises. Monkeys are quite intelligent, comparable to children of five or six years old, and can slowly learn and cultivate. β
Chen Peng listened and exclaimed: "This is too unbelievable, but these monkeys only have the wisdom of five or six-year-old children, even if they learn to cultivate, they will only be naughty, what can they do?"
"But you don't know this," the monk laughed, "Our monks generally start to open up the meridians in the hands and feet first, and the monkey cultivation must first open up the second veins of Ren Du, so that after penetrating the bridge between heaven and earth, the mind will be nourished by the vitality day by day, and the wisdom of the monkey will gradually increase." The bald apes you see already have the wisdom of eleven or twelve-year-old children, and they can understand and carry out their orders well. Think about it, how many monks in our Xigeng sect always need someone to serve. But our mountain gate is deep in the mountains, and it is inconvenient to buy those mortals to come over as slaves, and they are weak and weak, so they can't do anything at all. But who among the monks is willing to put down their bodies to serve others, and which one does not want to devote themselves to cultivation and attain immortality. Therefore, many sects will raise spirit monkeys as servants. β
"Thank you, thank you," Chen Peng felt really eye-opening and said sincerely.
"Hey, stop, stop. The monk looked at the incense burning in front of him, which had been extinguished, and hurriedly shouted, "A stick of incense has passed, you haven't defeated the spirit monkey yet, and the test has failed." β
The monk who was competing with the spirit monkey on the field stopped his attack when he heard this, sighed, and left the field dejectedly. The spirit monkey is thin and small, and its vitality is weaker than that of monks in the same realm, so it is also in the realm of advanced Xiaocheng, and it is still possible for the unsuccessful monks who participated in the selection to defeat it within a stick of incense.
"Next, Huang Xingyuan, a monk from Huangshi County. β
Chen Peng listened to it, turned his head to look, and sure enough, a person came out of the crowd, it was Huang Xingyuan.
I don't know if Huang Xingyuan had seen Chen Peng a long time ago or just found out at this time, so he glanced at Chen Peng, snorted coldly and went on the field. However, the spirit monkey who was originally competing with the monk retreated, and one of the five monkeys on the side ran out to compete with Huang Xingyuan.
When the monk of the Nasigeng sect lit the incense, he began to scream. Just saw Huang Xingyuan rush up with an arrow step, and a submarine fishing moon grabbed the spirit monkey. The monkey crouched down, dodged away, squeaked. Huang Xingyuan fished out the air, and then swept his right leg, and swept thousands of troops, and saw that a piece of glittering stone was kicked on the ground. The spirit monkey saw that Huang Xingyuan was fierce, and some jumped up, stretched out his hand and scratched Huang Xingyuan. Huang Xingyuan suddenly retracted his hand and shrank it into his sleeve, and then flicked it, and the sleeve was on the claw of the spirit monkey, and then he flicked Huang Xingyuan's hand, and the sleeve went around a few times, wrapping the spirit monkey's paw inside.
"Bang", Huang Xingyuan flicked his sleeves, and the spirit monkey was brought to the ground, but Huang Xingyuan didn't use too much force, and the spirit monkey got up with a bone.
"Shhhh The disciples of the Naxi Geng Sect shouted at the spirit monkey a few times and drove it down.
"Huang Xingyuan, a monk from Huangshi County, passed the test, went back to prepare, and waited for the official competition. β
Chen Peng saw it in his eyes, but he was amazed in his heart, "This Huang Xingyuan is really a local tyrant, and the clothes on his body must be made of that spiritual silk and spiritual cloth." Just now, Huang Xingyuan wrapped his sleeve around the spirit monkey's paw and threw it down. If ordinary clothes can withstand this kind of power, I am afraid that the claws of the spirit monkey will be scratched in one fell swoop.
Soon, the six monks in front of Chen Peng finished the competition with the spirit monkey, and it just so happened that the six spirit monkeys all took their turns, but except for Huang Xingyuan, only one of them passed the test, and the other four people did not defeat the spirit monkey within a stick of incense.
"Huangshi County monk Chen Peng went to the competition. When Chen Peng heard this, his body moved, and he went down.
"You are Chen Peng," the monk of the Xigeng faction said suddenly, "I see that you are also a naΓ―ve person, you haven't experienced anything, you can't slack off, take out twelve points of ability, these are not easy to deal with." β
Chen Peng smiled at the monk of the Xigeng sect and said, "I have a friend of Lao Dao to worry about, and I have my own measure. β
Looking at the spirit monkey in front of him, walking and limping, Chen Peng already had an idea in his heart, it was not difficult for him to defeat this spirit monkey within a stick of incense, but he didn't plan to defeat the spirit monkey in three moves and two ways like Huang Xingyuan, but he had an idea and came up with an idea. After all, he is different from Huang Xingyuan, he has no roots, and if he shows too outstanding strength, I am afraid it will be easy to attract people's attention.
Although he defeated Huang Xingyuan before, Chen Peng used himself as bait, in the eyes of others, he used the strategy of injuring the enemy by one thousand and self-inflicting eight hundred, and did not show that he was much higher than Huang Xingyuan in absolute strength, and in the end, it was also a miserable victory in the eyes of others, at most he praised him for being ruthless, not only to others, but also to himself. As for cultivation, it is powerful, and it is not enough to say that it is a lot higher than others.
