Chapter 37: The Selection Begins
Sima Yong picked up the photo beads and observed them carefully, but he didn't find any more information, and the sudden appearance of the woman didn't know whether it was a hint or a warning.
I couldn't think about the result, so I could only put the photo beads back in the box and put them away.
Tian Ling locked herself in the library for several days, and only when the medicine pavilion master sent someone to inform her of the start of the selection, she came out of the library pavilion, and as soon as she came out, she saw Cen Yi with a green shirt and a black stone waiting outside the pavilion.
"Heavenly God Doctor, Senior Brother Zizhan has already gone to Shicheng in advance, and he will be guided by a certain during the election."
Tian Poria arched her hand and thanked Cen Yiyi, and several people went to the selection meeting together.
Now that everything is simple, the hall master of the Purple Cloud Hall and several elders go up to the high platform to offer incense and pray to the ancestors, and after the cup is thrown, the literary examination will begin.
Before the start of the exam, everyone needs to go to a special venue, and the hall master will come up with a question, link the enchantment in the field, and transmit the question to everyone's mind, and the participating monks only need to reply the answer in their hearts to the responsible elder, and the elder is responsible for taking away the monks who answered incorrectly for screening.
There are not too many inner disciples who participated in this time, so those inner disciples wearing green robes are very conspicuous, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a little troubled water inside, Sima Yong paid more attention to these disciples, and once he found that the answer did not match, he immediately drove people out.
When the hall master made a move, the other elders did not dare to pass people through at will, and everyone scratched their ears and cheeks.
"The first question, in the known literature, how many kinds of demons are there? What are the characteristics of the main demons? What are the weaknesses? ”
With the support of the enchantment, the spiritual power of several elders can be amplified, and the answers of everyone can be sorted out quickly, and soon people will leave one after another, Sima Yong relies on the enchantment to take the actions of several elders into his eyes, and nodded with satisfaction.
Tian Poria thought for a while, it was indeed unfortunate, when she first came out of the library pavilion, she happened to be looking at the origin and dissipation of the demon race, and she had some thoughts in her heart about this answer.
After sorting out the answers in her mind, a thin line appeared in front of her eyes, which seemed to be that of the fifth elder Lu Feng, who was closest to her, Lu Feng had a good reputation among the monks and was a decent person, and it seemed that many monks chose to give him the answers.
Tian Poria reached out to catch the thin thread and transmitted the answer to the Lu Feng Elder.
Lu Feng raised his eyes and glanced at Tian Poria, with a smile in his eyes.
Tian Poria looked at his reaction and was stunned for a moment, laughing? Have you been in contact with him before?
Before Tianling could react, a monk beside him had already been teleported out.
It's just that the monk's reaction was a bit big, and he kept shouting "Insider!" There must be an insider! I'm not wrong, why kick me out. ”
Sima Yongdu and Cen Yiyi glanced at each other, and Cen Yiyi's green shirt quietly left, but after a while, the monk appeared beside Sima Yongdu, his vocal cords seemed to be taboo, and his mouth was closed but he couldn't make a sound at all.
Sima Yongdu looked at him and motioned to several elders to speed up, the elders understood, but did not teleport out the monks again, the monks were lucky in their hearts, and thought that their answers were correct.
Soon, the elders showed Sima Yongdu the list of those who needed to be eliminated.
After Sima Yongdu took it, he lifted the taboo of the monk who committed the crime, and the monk's eyes were red when he saw it, his teeth were clenched, and he immediately scolded after discovering that the taboo had been unlocked.
"Why should I be kicked out when it's my turn, why don't they use it, why!"
Sima Yongdu quietly watched him roar, and said coldly: "You said that you answered correctly, then let me ask you, which is the document that records all the demons?" ”
The criminal monk was a little stunned, he didn't remember which one it was, he just glanced at a similar book and answered, "Which one do you care I read?" Anyway, I've read it, that's what it says in the book, and you're not qualified to judge me wrong. ”
Sima Yongdu raised his hand and flipped through it, and three books appeared in his hand, one "General History of Demons", one "Ten Thousand Ancient Things", and one "Legend of the Ten Thousand Worlds Continent".
"Give you three copies to choose from, since you've seen it, then this cover should have an impression."
The criminal monk took the three books and looked at them over and over, but when he was about to turn the pages, he couldn't open them, and he was a little flustered, "How do I know if I'm reading the one if I don't open it?" ”
Sima Yong took the three books back into his hands, "No need to open them, you haven't read these three books, there are answers in these three books, but the answers are slightly different, and the answers that others say can be found in the Library Pavilion, only what you said is your current compilation." ”
"Who the hell are you?" Sima Yong's eyes narrowed.
The criminal monk broke out in a cold sweat, which was different from what he expected, and his lips trembled and said: "What I said is what I saw from a novel, in the novel, there are tree people, fish people, bird people, and all of them are demon clans who like to eat people, and recently there are rumors that there are man-eating monsters in Stone City, so I think this novel is true." ”
Sima Yongdu's eyelids jumped when he heard the word Shicheng, and his face remained unchanged, "Then you seem to know what you are wrong?" ”
The offender nodded hurriedly, "It's wrong, it's me." ”
Sima Yongdu turned his head to look at the crowd below, "Monks, you still need to learn more about the knowledge of the Demon Clan, the monks selected by the Purple Cloud Hall will all have to face the Demon Clan in the future, and if you don't know enough about the Demon Clan, your life will be in danger, so naturally you won't let it go easily in this matter, so next, you still need to leave if you answer wrong, and come back next time." ”
After this incident, the literary examination was finally carried out smoothly, and many inner disciples were brushed down, and they would have to work hard to be promoted in the outer gate in the future.
It's just that they really don't have to go to Shicheng to support, and the elders of those clan disciples are also relieved when they hear the news, and they are relieved to go all out to investigate Shicheng.
Nan Zizhan also received a message from Sima Yongdu at the same time, and now several people are still living on the outskirts of Shicheng, and they dare not rush into the city, and Nan Zizhan happened to be wandering around the city gate when he received the information.
Nowadays, the outside of the stone city gate and the inside of the gate are completely two worlds, but the outside of the gate is very prosperous, perhaps because of the special events that happened in the city that attracted many monks to visit, and the surrounding inns were almost full.
Many people set up stalls on the street, and the big characters of "The Inside Story of Shicheng, Tong Suo is not bullied" are clearly hanging.
Nan Zizhan stopped at a stall casually, "Is it really the inside story of Stone City?" How do you know? ”
With a mysterious smile on his face, the peddler took out a few books from his arms, "There are relatives in the family who are eunuchs in it, and they are very well informed. What do you think? A book of low-grade spirit stones, which are all the secrets of the stone city that others don't know, don't be too cost-effective. ”
Nan Zizhan lowered his eyes and looked at the words "I was supposed to build a foundation and become a god", "Two or three things I can't say to the big guy", and "The Legend of the Fairy Concubine", and the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.
