Chapter 5 The Five Elements Miscellaneous Spiritual Roots
"No, we must catch up! Otherwise, all my efforts would have been in vain! ”
Chen Wenqing was so anxious that he didn't dare to pause at all, and ran towards the gate at a gallop.
"Looking at the figure, it seems to be Senior Brother Zhang Qian? Yes, it's Senior Brother Zhang! Chen Wenqing looked closely at the acquaintance, and couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and shouted loudly while running.
"Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Zhang! Wait, don't close yet! ”
As Chen Wenqing shouted, the scarlet door closed stopped. Immediately, a figure came out from behind the door, it was Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian looked at Chen Wenqing, who was standing in front of him, bending over and panting, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chen's pinching is really accurate at this time!" Until the last minute, it will never appear! ”
"Senior Brother Yang Xu made a bet with me before, saying that you would never come over. Looks like I won! ”
Chen Wenqing gasped when he heard this, and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I'm sorry! I... Delayed by trifles, so late! I really have Senior Brother Lao in mind, and I am grateful in my heart! ”
Yang Xu also walked out of the vermilion gate at this time, stood in front of Chen Wenqing and said, "Okay! Save these words of thanks for later. The time has come and the assessment is about to begin, so you better hurry in! Senior Brother Zhang has high expectations for you, and I hope you won't let us down! ”
"Good! Thank you two senior brothers, I will retire first. ”
Chen Wenqing bowed deeply to Zhang Qian and Yang Xu again, and then ran towards the door in a hurry.
Yang Xu looked at Chen Wenqing's back as he left in a hurry, frowned slightly, and said to Zhang Qian who was standing aside: "Senior brother, why are you so tolerant of a miscellaneous disciple?" This person is not only late for registration, but also late for the assessment. Why does the senior brother still look at him differently? ”
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Because of his eyes!" ”
"Senior Brother Yang, you should know that before I became a Taoist priest, my identity was the silver medal catcher of the Black Ice Terrace Arrest Division. It can be said that I have read countless people, and now I rarely see such persistent and determined eyes. I have a hunch that Chen Wenqing will be extraordinary in the future. ”
"As for giving convenience to others, it should also be a good relationship! If this person really can't do it, it can only mean that I have lost my eyes! ”
Chen Wenqing came to a square paved with bluestone, only to see that the square was crowded with people, and a long queue had already formed. As far as the eye can see, at the end of the entire queue is a stone platform three feet high. On the stone platform is a desk made of red cloth. On both sides of the desk, there are two purple flags, the left banner reads "Spiritual Root Test", and the right banner reads "Lottery Assessment".
"It seems that the first round of assessment is cultivation and spiritual root, that's right. I don't know what kind of spiritual root I am, and whether it will have an impact on the subsequent assessment! ”
Chen Wenqing thought in his heart, but he didn't notice that the person in front of Chen Wenqing suddenly turned around. He arched his hand towards Chen Wenqing and said, "This little brother, you have a lot of money in Xia Li Youcai, and you are polite when you meet for the first time." ”
Chen Wenqing's eyes shrank, and he said in his heart: "Heh, good guy!" How can there be such a fat person in the world, with this round face, it is just like a ball! It's really a lifetime! ”
However, Chen Wenqing's expression remained unchanged and he retracted his gaze lightly, and arched his hand and said: "Under Chen Wenqing, I am glad to meet!" ”
"Little brother, I see that you should also be a Taoist priest of Zixia Temple, I don't know if there are any regulations that can guide you on the assessment?"
"Brother Li, you're welcome. It's just a Zixiaguan miscellaneous Taoist priest below, and I only know that the assessment is divided into two parts. The first part examines cultivation and spiritual roots, and the second part assesses cultivation talents. The rest is more than that, and it's not clear below. ”
When Li Youcai heard this, a smile appeared on his chubby round face, and he said, "Haha, thank you little brother for informing me." But I don't know what kind of cultivation you are doing now? Which Taoist academy do you plan to get into? ”
"It's just a mid-stage cultivation of Qi refining. As for which Taoist academy to get into, I haven't decided yet! I don't know what kind of spiritual root I am or which direction I choose to practice. ”
Chen Wenqing paused, rolled his eyes and said, "Anyway, I don't know what your plans are, Brother Li?" ”
"Alas! Don't hide it from my little brother, in fact, I was originally a scholar, and I was a Confucian cultivator. But my Confucianism and Taoism qualifications are limited, and I have cultivated for more than ten years, but I am only in the human realm. After Confucianism was hopeless, he had to change his path from Confucianism. And Dao cultivation is only in the late stage of Qi refining! ”
"Confucianism? What is that? Chen Wenqing wondered.
"Confucianism is the method of cultivation for scholars. For example, poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can all be practiced. ”
"The so-called, the text carries the Tao. Confucianism, through a special method of practice, can condense the scholarly spirit in the heart, form a talent, gather a talent to form a Confucianism, and the Confucianism will transform into a heroic righteousness! ”
"With the deepening of Confucianism and Taoism, it can be said with heavenly words in the mouth, and a word can become a prophecy. You can also explore the future and go back to the past. ”
"I can't forget it, and my tongue is full of spring thunder. Even a word can defeat a million soldiers! ”
"It's easy to move mountains and cross seas! Chasing the wind and taking the moon is no problem! The gods are unpredictable, and the ghosts and gods are easy. ”
Chen Wenqing's heart shook when he heard this, it seems that this world is not as simple as he imagined, and it is not a simple Taoist world.
When Chen Wenqing heard this, he thought of the ancient imperial examination system in his previous life, and many students were also poor in vain, and they did nothing until the end. couldn't help sighing: "I can't help but do anything." Although it is difficult for Brother Li to achieve Confucianism, maybe his talent for cultivation is amazing, and he may be able to cultivate in the future! ”
Li Youcai said: "Hahaha! Thank you little brother Jiyan! ”
Chen Wenqing was chatting with Li Youcai, and before he knew it, time had passed slowly, and the examiners were finally left with Li Youcai and Chen Wenqing.
Chen Wenqing and Li Youcai stepped on the stone platform and came to the desk. I saw a huge bamboo tube on the table, which was filled with bamboo sticks, and each bamboo stick had a different number written on it. Next to the bamboo tube stands a stone that is full of crystal and glows green, and the surface of the stone has complex patterns and carved talismans.
Li Youcai took three steps forward and said to the four Dao Masters in front of the desk: "Under Li Youcai, I have seen all of you. ”
"Well, the four of us are from the outer sect. Now start testing your assets and place your hands on the spirit stone. ”
Hearing this, Li Youcai put his hands on the spirit measuring stone, and after a while, the spiritual measuring stone emitted an earthy yellow light.
At this time, the teachings on the left side spoke: "Late stage cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm, qualification is above the second grade, and the earth spirit root." Yes, passable! ”
"In addition, it is recommended that you choose the Dan Dao Academy or the Formation Dao Academy. The earth spirit root helps in the cultivation of elixir, and can also be combined with the terrain to cultivate the formation. ”
Li Youcai's face trembled when he heard this, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and arched his hand: "Li Youcai, thank you for your advice!" ”
"Well, let's draw lots! After the draw, then participate in the next round of assessment. ”
Finally, with the departure of Li Youcai, only Chen Wenqing was left among the participants in the assessment. He took a deep breath and said, "Miscellaneous disciple Chen Wenqing, I have seen all the Dao Masters!" ”
"Yes, it's rare for a miscellaneous disciple to have this ambition! Let's go! ”
Chen Wenqing put his hands on the spirit stone, and soon the spirit stone emitted a colorful light. Just as Chen Wenqing was puzzled, a fluttering voice came.
"Chen Wenqing, mid-stage cultivation of qi refining. Five Elements Miscellaneous Spiritual Root... Qualifications are in the C class! ”
Chen Wenqing's heart was shocked: "My cultivation qualification is only in the C grade?" Or is it a miscellaneous root? ”
The Five Elements Miscellaneous Spirit Root refers to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, but each attribute is mediocre and not outstanding. Therefore, although a person with the Five Elements Miscellaneous Spiritual Root can practice the Dao Dharma with five different attributes, in fact, the cultivation of any Dao Dharma will be very slow.
"Chen Wenqing, with your qualifications and cultivation, you can barely pass this time. However, I would like to remind you that there is a great chance that you will not pass the assessment in the future. ”
"You must know that the disciples recruited by each Taoist academy have a certain focus. For example, the disciples recruited by the Dan Dao Academy are often disciples who have a deep understanding of pharmacology and fire, and they are more inclined to recruit wood spirit roots and earth spirit roots. The Shudao Academy, on the other hand, has relatively high requirements for the qualifications of cultivators, and the cultivators recruited have a high affinity for the vitality and aura between heaven and earth. Disciples who are more inclined to single spirit roots, and your miscellaneous spirit cultivation will be very slow. ”
"In addition, the Array Dao Academy mainly uses the five elements of yin and yang changes, combined with the number of heaven and earth techniques to produce incredible power. Not only do you need to understand the formation, but you also have a preference for gold, fire, and earth spirit roots, and you are not willing to accept miscellaneous spirit root disciples. ”
"Only the remaining Fu Dao Academy, maybe you will have a chance."
"Fu Gong Dao Yuan? I've heard that the Fu Dao Academy is the worst Taoist temple in Zixia Temple, and I..."
"You're right! The path of the talisman has the lowest requirements for qualifications and spiritual roots. ”
"The way of the talisman is to communicate the vitality of heaven and earth through the talisman. The cultivation of the path of the talisman requires the cultivator to devote all his essence and energy, so the cultivation is also very hard, and the cultivation process is quite boring. Because of this, there are very few people who have achieved the cultivation of the way of the talisman! ”
"However, I have to tell you that there is no such thing as the worst monastery, only the worst monastics. Now it seems that the Dan Dao Academy, the Array Dao Academy, and the Martial Dao Academy are all beyond your reach. So, do you want to join the Fu Dao Academy? ”
Chen Wenqing thought at this time that in his previous life, in order to solve the mystery of the Book of Heaven, he had spent three years studying a large number of talismans, but he didn't expect that today he was really going to embark on the talisman path!
"Do you practice talismans? This may also be an opportunity! ”
