Chapter 49: The Test
"Senior sister, the children said they want you to help watch them practice swords, do you have time now?" Ye Yousheng leaned in from outside the conference hall and asked.
As a result, I saw Heng Mingzhi who was about to hide under the table.
"......" Ye Yousheng was silent.
In front of Qin Hao, Ye Yousheng resisted the urge to drag Heng Mingzhi out in the past, pretending that he didn't see Heng Mingzhi, and stood back outside the conference hall with a calm face.
Qin Zhen looked at the two of them amusedly, put away the account book in his hand, and stood up: "I have time, let's go over with you to take a look." ”
Heng Mingzhi, who was squatting under the table, listened to their footsteps and walked away slowly, waited for a while, and silently said in his heart, "Ye Yousheng can't see me", before he came out from under the table again.
"Ahh
Ye Yousheng's face suddenly appeared in front of him, so frightened that Heng Mingzhi didn't react and screamed.
"Why are you still here?" He rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"I'm arresting lazy people to work!" Ye Yousheng is righteous and righteous.
"Okay, okay, you're right." Heng Mingzhi nodded and pecked rice.
Anyway, I can't escape today, and when Ye Yousheng goes to the competition in a few days, he will have to come to the top class, so now I should familiarize myself with the process.
Heng Mingzhi sighed and followed Ye Yousheng out.
Cultivation grounds.
As soon as Qin Zhen walked over, four children from Liuxi Village surrounded her, chattering and pestering Qin Zhen. Although Kong Mingshan also came this way, he just stood on the outside and did not get closer.
"Senior sister! We want to test our recent results! The child who spoke at the head was called He Yun, a very cute girl, and her voice was sweet.
Her twin brother is called He Feng, and the two don't look very similar, but they still have a little shadow from the outline. In terms of personality, he is completely different from his sister, he is a taciturn person, and he doesn't like to express his opinions, he listens to his sister.
There are also two children, a girl named Xu Jingxuan, who is the best qualified of the five, but she is a little cowardly. Another boy is named Wang Yu, and his temperament is the most impulsive of all.
As for Kong Mingshan, he can be said to be the best one in terms of comprehensive performance, and he is also clever, so that people can't find mistakes.
Qin Zhen is still satisfied with these children for now.
After all, this is also the first time she has officially recruited disciples for Tianyi Sect, and she is not naturally good at many things, so she has to explore slowly.
She thought that she had not yet reached the level of accepting apprentices, so she only took in these children for her father, so she asked them to call herself "senior sister".
At the beginning, Ye Yousheng was still unwilling, and he had been awkward for a long time.
Later, I didn't know what Heng Mingzhi told him, so he finally agreed to the title of "senior sister".
"Okay. But you've only been practicing swords for a short time, and now you can't see anything more than that. Let me think about it......" Qin Hao thought seriously for a while, "Why don't you just run, you can use your spiritual power to run around the halfway up the mountain to see who can reach the finish line first." ”
"Whoever reaches the finish line first, I will give priority to who will refine the talisman next." Qin Hao threw out a small reward.
Although everyone will learn these things in the end, the children are always a little curious and want to be the first to learn so that they can show off among their friends.
Seeing that the children were all nodding, Qin Zhen put on a green shirt and led them to the outside of the sect: "Then let's go." ”
Tianyi Sect is located halfway up the mountainside, and the entire sect is hidden in the lush woods. If you don't look closely at it from a distance, you won't be able to see it clearly for a while.
Originally, this mountain did not have a name, but because Tianilzong has stayed here since the founding of the sect, over time, the villagers of the nearby villages have called this mountain Tianyi Mountain.
"Start here, go around halfway up the mountain, and come back here. In addition to hurting others, everything else you can think of can be used, and it depends on who can reach the finish line first. Qin Hao briefly said the rules, "I'm here waiting for you to come back." ”
"Good!" The children echoed in unison.
As Qin Zhen said "start", the children rushed out quickly, but in a breath, the small figure was covered by the mottled shadow of the tree, and they couldn't see clearly.
Qin Zhen sat down on the rock beside him, and distributed five traces of spiritual power to the five children, observing their situation.
……
Wang Yu ran at the front.
He was not proficient in using spiritual power, and some of the small skills taught by Ye Yousheng and Heng Mingzhi were not too tired, so he simply ran directly.
He used to be the naughtiest child in the village, and his family thought that they could make him quiet down and read more books, so they changed his name to "recitation", hoping that he could focus on reading books, but it was obviously useless.
However, this also makes his physical fitness the best among the five people, and every time he finishes practicing the sword, he still has the strength to pester Ye Yousheng to practice.
Xu Jingxuan and Kong Mingshan followed him a little behind, and they hadn't used their spiritual power for the time being.
As for the brothers and sisters He Feng and He Yun, the two of them only had to run for a while at the beginning, but now they had stopped walking and started walking, falling far behind the three of them.
"Aren't we going to keep running?" He Feng still talked a lot in front of his sister, and when he saw that He Yun was not running away at this time, he also stopped and asked.
"Didn't you listen to Senior Sister? In addition to harming people, we can use any method, then of course we can also take a shortcut. He Yun said proudly.
"Doesn't that count as cheating?" He Feng hesitated.
He Yun crossed his hands on his hips: "Do you want to listen to me!" ”
"Listen ......"
"Okay, then follow me." He Yun raised his chin and began to talk about his plan.
"From here, we pull the vines up and then cross the halfway up the hill from the top and down the other side, so we only have to run the last quarter lap."
"But the terrain on the mountain is more complicated, isn't climbing up and down more tiring than just running on a plane?" He Feng was puzzled.
"Are you a sister or am I a sister?" He Yun raised his eyebrows.
"You ......"
"Wouldn't that be fine, listen to me! How could it be so simple for Senior Sister to let us run, there will definitely be some traps set in the middle. Then let's climb directly from above, Senior Sister must not have imagined that I can have such a clever way! He Yun said and pulled the vine to climb up.
Although He Feng felt that there was a little problem with what she said, he couldn't tell what the problem was for a while, so he could only stand under the vine and watch his sister climb up.
"Come on!" After a while, He Yun climbed on top and beckoned down to He Feng.
He Feng also grabbed the vines and began to climb.
Finally came up, he gasped and asked He Yun, "Where are we going further?" ”
"Let me think about it......" He Yun observed the trees around her.
He Feng took advantage of her time to think, and first skillfully guarded the surroundings. It's always been safe here, but I don't know if the senior sister will prepare for some test.
Although He Yun said that it was impossible for Senior Sister to know this way, He Feng felt that it was better to be more vigilant.
"Help!"
A cry for help came from deep in the woods.
He Yun was stunned: "Why is Xiaoxuan's voice?" ”
He Feng carefully identified it: "I confirm that it is very similar, but if it appears here, I don't think it is like it again." ”
"Let's go over and take a look......" He Yun hesitated for a while, "If it's really Xiao Xuan, if I don't save it if I encounter any accidents, I will regret it in my heart." ”
The brother and sister looked at each other and walked together into the depths of the forest.
At this time, halfway up the mountainside path.
Xu Jingxuan and Kong Mingshan are still running side by side, but if you look closely, you can find that Xu Jingxuan's steps are lighter, while Kong Mingshan is more difficult.
Kong Mingshan glanced at Xu Jingxuan, although his face was calm, but his heart was a little impatient.
Before these four people came, he had already learned a little method of qi induction from Brother Heng, and he had successfully groped for the threshold by himself.
He originally thought that he would be the one with the best qualifications, but he didn't expect that after the four new disciples came, Xu Jingxuan, who seemed to be the youngest, easily surpassed him like this, and took the lead in consolidating his cultivation at the first level of the Qi refining period, and was also praised by Qin Hao.
And although the four of them were all from Liuxi Village, they didn't isolate him in a group, but naturally took him to play together, so that even if he wanted to have some selfish resentment, he couldn't do it.
To be honest, he was a little jealous of Xu Jingxuan.
Obviously, it seems that she doesn't have any strong obsession with cultivating immortals, but why is her qualification the best? And himself, who is obviously so longing for cultivating immortals, is still the first disciple to be admitted, but now he is stuck in a place where he can't go up or down.
In terms of physical fitness, Wang Yu is better than him, He Feng is better than him in terms of sword training, He Yun is better than him in terms of pleasing people, and Xu Jingxuan is better than him in terms of talent.
He's not the worst in everything, but he's not the best either.
This made Kong Mingshan, who had always been the object of praise in Xinzhao Village before, unable to accept such a gap for a while.
Once, when Qin Zhen said that he would take him to Tianyi Sect to cultivate immortals, he fantasized that he would be found to have qualifications that were rare for a hundred years, and then he would be praised by Qin Zhen and them, and he would also be blessed with luck, and he could make friends from all walks of life wherever he went, and obtain mysterious secrets.
But reality hit him.
He didn't have any talent to speak of, he was just an ordinary person in the immortal cultivation world.
At that time, he couldn't sleep all night, and ran to ask Heng Mingzhi why Qin Zhen still brought him back since he was so ordinary.
Heng Mingzhi told him that Qin Zhen would not treat them differently because of their qualifications, as long as he kept cultivating hard and listened to Qin Hao, Qin Hao would not leave him no matter what.
But Kong Mingshan was still at a loss.
Heng Mingzhi's words did make him feel a little more at ease, but he felt that it was still a little insufficient.
It seems that what he would rather hear is not such a thing.
