Chapter 381, the first level
Havle picked up the water scoop next to him and scooped it, took a sip, the water was slightly sweet, there was no peculiar smell, Havard Jie put his mind at ease and began to drink in a big gulp.
Seeing that Harvard Jie began to drink, others also rushed over, and compared to Harvard's caution, they seemed more direct, and some even buried their heads directly in the bucket, causing people who had not yet drunk water to shout.
However, because there will be an assessment later, even if there are some minor disputes, they will be persuaded to solve them immediately.
Having drunk enough water, Harvard found an open space and sat down.
Time passed little by little, and I saw that the sun rose three strokes, and I didn't see the so-called examiner appear.
A little boy who was waiting impatiently said, "What's going on? It can't be that the examiner has forgotten us, right?"
This sentence immediately caused fluctuations in the crowd, and most of these cultivators were children in their teens, and the youngest was only eight or nine years old, so they started talking about it.
"How could such an important thing be forgotten?"
"How is it impossible, there are so many people today, isn't it normal to forget one or two places?"
"No, I'll have to ask. ”
"Don't go out, just wait. ”
A few impatient children got up from the ground, and regardless of the persuasion of others, pushed open the hidden courtyard door and went out.
Regarding the actions of these people, Harvard Jie saw it in his eyes, and he always felt that it was indeed a little strange that the examiner had not arrived for so long, but he had already been tempered by the life of the troubled times to be cautious, not to mention that he had a guess. These people went out, just in time to verify it.
Several people rushed out, and the courtyard door was not closed, looking at their backs as they walked farther and farther, more than a dozen hesitants followed after gritting their teeth.
But then something didn't seem to be good, and the sun was going up overhead. It was time for lunch, but there was still no movement outside, and even the more than 20 people who had gone out before did not come back.
An eerie atmosphere began to ferment in the courtyard.
"Goo. Then a voice rang out. Attracting everyone's sideways glances, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child stood up, touched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm hungry." ”
His voice had just fallen. Outside, there is a just right amount of aroma.
"It's the smell of fish-flavored shredded pork! A child cried out, and the uncontrollable saliva at the corner of his mouth flowed into a silver line.
"It's wrong, it's back to the pot! It's so fragrant, I want to eat it!"
"It's a dry sautéed green bean, right?"
Suddenly, the children in the whole yard started talking, and it seemed that everyone smelled something different.
And the smell of Harvard Jie is winter melon braised pork, well, it needs to be admitted that this used to be his favorite, and Harvard's ex-girlfriend made a fragrant winter melon braised pork.
"Don't start eating, right?"
"Probably too. The people who went out before didn't come back, probably to eat. ”
What these two people said immediately ignited a wave of discussion in the crowd, and the hot topic of discussion was whether to go and see.
"Hey, buddy. I'm going to be hungry, so I came out in the morning and ate some porridge. ”
A boy in a T-shirt with a childish face leaned over and probed Harvard, which was the norm in the crowd and felt that leaving the yard was a risky thing to do. Therefore, psychologically, I always want to find someone to be with, either if something happens, we will back together, or we will be brave or something.
Harvard Jie was originally a little excited, but from the smell of the food, he thought of his ex-girlfriend, his eyes were dark, but he suppressed his hunger, and his desire to go out with this person also faded.
Seeing that Harver Jie shook his head, the man dropped a sentence and went to find someone else: "Phew, no seeds." ”
Havle didn't seem to have any raw food, lay down on the spot, and never spoke again.
More than a dozen people got up and left the courtyard, although they were not really hungry and unbearable, but as soon as they encouraged each other, they felt really hungry, and they felt that they were stupid waiting here, and others were eating happily, and their hearts were a little unbalanced, so they had the courage to go out.
With this group leaving, there were less than sixty people left in the courtyard, and some of them were eager to try, but seemed to think of something and sat back down.
Finally, the gate of the courtyard opened from the outside, and an elder of the outer gate walked in, not very tall, wearing a Xuanhuang robe, with dark yellow lace tattooed on the cuffs and collar, looking like a fairy wind and bones, with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw more than fifty people in the courtyard.
The people who were able to enter the mountain gate were not fools, and from the changes in the faces of the elders of the outer gate, the rest of the people could faintly feel that the previous wait should be a test, and Harvard Jie knew that I was afraid that those who went out before would not end up very well.
Sure enough, the elder of the outer gate stood in the courtyard and said, "Well, I didn't introduce it to you before, the poor Dao's surname is Zhang, you can call me Elder Zhang." "This outer door elder is Zhang Changxi, this time he went out to recruit cultivators, his performance was very good, he was recommended by the uncle of the seventh cultivator, approved by the Dao master, and was lucky to be promoted to the outer door elder, as long as there is no big mistake within three years, he can become one of the inner disciples.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Changxi was full of energy, and he couldn't wait to do everything in the Dao veins by himself.
"I've seen Elder Zhang!" The remaining fifty or so people hurriedly stood up, lined up, and saluted this outer sect elder, they had also learned some of the rules of the Dao Sect before, so they would not be blind at this time.
"Well, you've been able to hold on so far. Zhang Changxi nodded, and praised it, after reading the assessment plan formulated by the Taoist master, Zhang Changxi thought that it would be good to have at most more than ten people left in a courtyard at this time, but he didn't expect that there would be more than fifty people left, which was a big surprise.
In fact, from the moment these people step into this courtyard, the assessment of the first level begins, to put it bluntly, it is to see if they have meditation, no matter how they toss in the courtyard, as long as the time comes, those who do not step out of the courtyard are considered to have passed.
Of course, the smell of the food before was completely the influence of the phantom array arranged in the courtyard.
As long as the guy who left this courtyard was sent down the mountain directly, and if he wanted to invest in the Qinglong Dao vein, he had to wait for the next opportunity.
Hearing Elder Zhang's words, the people in the courtyard suddenly felt relieved, it seems that this is really an assessment, and the people who went out before have not come back now, I am afraid that there is no chance to come back.
"Well, you're all hungry, let's eat first, and when you're full, you'll be able to move on to the next level. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
