Chapter 17: The Introductory Trial
The first test of the trial is to test everyone's aura level, and as long as they enter the first realm, they can pass guò. This test is mainly to weed out those who have not even opened the meridians.
Since there is no restriction on the number of applicants for the Kaiyang Palace Trial, the number of testers who participate in the trial every year is very amazing. This year alone, the number of testers has reached a terrifying 2,400 people, nearly half more than last year.
When there are more people, it will inevitably mix in with some ordinary people. They want to cultivate immortals for various reasons, but most of them are people who have no cultivation and can't even get through the meridians, and these people are eliminated in the first game.
In a courtyard, a fist-sized spirit bead was placed in the center.
The tester doesn't have to do anything, just touch the orb.
If the subject does not have spiritual power in his body, the orb will not react, and if it does, it will emit a bright light according to the level of aura, and the stronger the aura, the brighter the orb.
The examiner stood in front of the bead, staring blankly at the bead's reaction, and then deciding where the test taker would go.
To the left is the tester's rest area, which is the guò, and to the right is the area that leads to the stands, which is eliminated.
Survival of the fittest!Very simple rules!
After the first round of testing, more than 70% of the testers have been eliminated. After all, there is such a thing as cultivating fate, which is not something that can be had if you want to have it.
The whole test process was uneventful, except for a short interruption of about half a stick of incense in the middle of the process, because the spirit bead had malfunctioned and needed to be replaced.
It is said that it was caused by a monk during the test!
......
In a huge circular square, nearly 100 cultivators of all kinds stood scattered in groups.
"Chen Yu!
"Liu Da!
......
On a huge square platform in the center of the square, hundreds of white fluorophores floated, on which were written numbers from one to five hundred and eighteen.
Each candidate whose name is called walks up to the fluorophore of the corresponding number and places his or her plaque into the light cluster. If the identity matches, the card will make a "beep" sound and gradually disappear, as for what will happen if the identity does not match, Gao Yun does not know, because he has not even had the opportunity to watch the trial meeting before, and can only tremble and guard the small world in the dining room all day long.
Gao Yun was quietly among the candidates, and the corner of his eye secretly scanned the surroundings, and suddenly found that there was actually a person standing on the right side a little farther away from him-
Monks!
The monk looked very young, in his early twenties.
His facial features are upright, his appearance is delicate, and his handsome appearance is like a white lotus flower that is not touched by the slightest dust, and he is beautiful and refined.
He was wearing a moon-white robe that was knee-length, like a touch of moonlight hanging high in the sky at night, shining on the earthly world, so cold, quiet, so clean and peaceful, as if he had seen through the chaos of the world and appreciated the true meaning of the quiet birth of Buddhism.
This may be what the Buddhists say, the body is like glass, and the inside and outside are clear.
Although he is not very old, he looks calm as water, calm and calm, and at a glance, he can sense a posture that can only be seen by a master.
Holding a gold-ringed Zen staff, with a slight shake, there was a sound of metal staggering and colliding.
The waist of his robe is adorned with a row of peculiar patterns, which appear to be humanoids sitting on a rosette.
At this time, he was looking around with great interest, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, and his eyes were shining, as if he was very curious about the whole venue.
Gao Yun involuntarily glanced at him more. And this time the eyes of the two met, this one seemed to notice his gaze, smiled gently, and was very elegant.
Gao Yun was slightly stunned, and smiled back a little panicked.
At the same time, a name was reported on the stage.
"Lonely Xuan!Thirty-one!"
The monk withdrew his gaze, slowly walked up to the platform, and stood in his place.
It turned out that his name was Lonely Xuan......
Gao Yun looked at his back exuding a quiet aura, and his heart was full of doubts.
Why would a monk come to take the entrance test of Kaiyang Palace?
"Gao Yun!
In the stepped stands around the square, there was a commotion.
"Gao Yun, isn't this the palace master's younger brother?"
"That's right, it's that fourteen-year-old waste who hasn't opened the meridians yet!"
"How can you get through the first test without opening up the meridians?"
"You don't understand this, go through the back door!"
"If you dare to test it before the meridians are opened, are you looking for death?"
"This is called not dying, not dying, people have to die in front of us!"
......
In response to the discussion and ridicule of others, Gao Yun silently lowered his head and slowly walked to his position.
He raised his head and looked at the top of the stands, where the palace master was.
Gao Feng was looking at him intently and nodded slightly.
Gao Yun secretly clenched his fists, thinking in his heart: The eldest brother gave him this opportunity, he must take advantage of it, and he must not let the eldest brother down!
On the distinguished guest seat high in the south of the square, Gao Yan was lazily half-lying on the seat, his eyes glancing at Gao Yun on the stage.
This waste really dared to come to the trial!
But it's okay, after you make a fool of yourself in public, there will be even more reason to expel you from Kaiyang Palace!
A sneer crossed Gao Yan's lips.
Suddenly, the whole square shook and there was a loud "boom".
The square platform where the candidate was located slowly sank downward.
In a short time, the platform sank more than a kilometer.
A chief examiner dressed in a purple-gold palace uniform walked to the edge of the platform and said loudly: "Kaiyang Palace, the second trial will officially begin! Test the spirit technique, water avoidance technique! Test time, one hour!"
As soon as the examiner finished speaking, a huge image of an incense candle appeared in the sky above the square, burning spontaneously. When the incense candle burns out, the test ends.
Round holes appeared around the platform, and water spewed out from the holes.
Suddenly, a scroll appeared in front of the candidates.
Gao Yun saw that the scroll looked exactly the same as the one that Liu Yue had given him from the spirit room, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that he is not unlucky, and he actually happened to be admitted to the spiritual trick that he has already understood.
Gao Yun looked at it casually, and suddenly found that there was something wrong with the content of this scroll!
On the surface, the mantra in this scroll is no different from water avoidance.
But if you read it carefully, you will find that the breakpoints of individual words are different, and some words have even been tampered with into other words that are very similar!
If you follow this mantra, the effect of avoiding water will definitely be gone, and it is even impossible to infer whether there will be other unimaginable consequences.
Gao Yun gently held the scroll, his eyes secretly aimed at the outside of the field.
After ascending to the Dual Realm, his physical senses became more acute, especially in terms of vision, as long as his mind moved, he could see every move in a certain area like a magnifying glass.
At a glance, he saw Gao Yan grinning and gloating! And several people beside him, pointing in his direction, seemed to be whispering something.
"The boss is really wise! I opened Liu Yue's girl in advance, so she can't help Gao Yun if she wants to!"
"Hmph, I also did my hands and feet on that spiritual formula, this kid is going to die this time!"
......
His gaze continued to move upward, and he saw several elders beside Gao Feng, who were looking at him with their necks stretched out and expectant, as if they were waiting for something to happen!
It turns out that the so-called reconciliation of the second brother before was all fake! There won't be any problems with that bottle of healing elixir, right?
Since you're all looking forward to it, I'm going to show you how I got through the guò test!
Gao Yun secretly clenched his fists, his fingers flicked, and the scroll immediately disappeared in front of his eyes.
Others only said that he had absorbed the spiritual formula, but he secretly put the scroll into the bracelet.
Gao Yun slowly closed his eyes and posed as if he was seriously thinking and contemplating his thoughts.
At this time, the water gradually overflowed the chests of the people.
Although the competition time seems to be ample for an hour, it only takes a stick of incense to look at the speed of the pool noodles to lift overhead. In other words, an hour is just a pretense, and in fact the test limit time is just a stick of incense.
"I—I abstain!"
Suddenly, a man in the middle of the room raised his hand. His face was pale, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
A disciple of Kaiyang Palace on the sidelines immediately went down and lifted him up like a chicken.
A tense atmosphere suddenly spread throughout the pool.
