Chapter 185: Lonely Tower (First Update, Ask for Recommendation!)
Mowgli didn't intend to keep a low profile at all, so he spoke loudly, enough for the candidates present to hear it clearly.
As soon as the words came out, countless eyes of disdain, disdain, or jealousy immediately shot over, and even Ling Hu Minzhi was a little uncomfortable.
Unlike others, the standards vary widely, even though they take the same test items.
Ling Hu Minzhi and the others just went through the re-examination, and theoretically, as long as there were no accidents, they could follow the path and become the introductory disciples of the Heavenly Academy. Their real test was the one year later, the exam that would determine whether or not they could be promoted to the rank of ascending disciple. The project is still these two projects, but the standard is much higher.
For example, in the Lonely Tower, the standard for the re-examination is a quarter of an hour, while the Deng-level exam is two hours, eight times longer, but far more than eight times more difficult.
Normally, if the meditation time reaches an hour, it can be regarded as a stable mind, which is suitable for spiritual practice. Two hours is beyond the scope of most people's tolerance, but anyone who can pass such a test can almost be regarded as having excellent cultivation qualifications.
The Heavenly Academy's ascendant-level disciples are not big roads. If you can be promoted to the church before graduation, once you are released, you will at least be a temple priest at the state level. In the past thirty years, there have only been seven ascendant-level disciples in the Heavenly Academy, which can be seen.
Mowgli is a special move, and the entrance exam is a class-level exam, and the minimum standard is two hours. If he can survive two hours in the Tower of Loneliness, he will be considered qualified. If he survived for two hours and passed the next transformation ability test, he could also ascend to the sky in one step and directly become a disciple of the ascending hall.
Of course. This is basically an impossible task.
Because he didn't have the ability to transform at all, even if he survived for two hours, it would be impossible for him to become a disciple of the ascending level. There is no chance to shake the prestige in front of these heavenly pride. It is more likely that he will get out of the Heavenly Academy in a gray manner, rather than being respected as a senior brother.
Therefore, before Mowgli's words fell, there were countless sneers.
Wuji just smiled, threw another Guiyuan Pill into his mouth, and poured another spoonful of oil on the fire of everyone's jealousy.
After a while, he had already thrown seven or eight Guiyuan Pills into his mouth. And the one he threw to Linghu Minzhi was still well stored.
Ling Hu Minzhi did this, of course, not because he was stingy, he just wanted to give full play to the role of Guiyuan Dan. It takes a lot of energy to endure pain. Taking one Gui Yuan Dan when necessary can effectively restore the body and buy more time.
Although the results of the re-examination do not affect his entry, they can affect his ranking among his junior brothers.
There is a Guiyuan Dan to spare. It's already enviable. Mowgli is so profligate, how can it not make people envious, jealous and hateful.
Among the nearly 200 candidates present, except for Wuji and Linghu Minzhi, there were no more than two people who could have Guiyuan Dan, and all of them used various connections to ask for a lot of money from the Shi family or Tian Hospital.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Hospital, it would be difficult to guarantee that these people would not rush up and commit robbery.
Right now. They can't rob, but that doesn't mean they can't despise it.
"It's really a redneck. No taste!"
"It's as stupid as a pig, it doesn't have the ability to shape, and no matter how much Guiyuan Dan you eat, it's useless. It's a pity that these Guiyuan Dan are better fed to the dogs. ”
"Blind. The Shi family has always been known for its shrewdness, but this time they will lose all their money. ”
"It's not enough to lose all your money, but it's a fact that thousands of dollars have been thrown into the water. Just this countryman will eat hundreds of gold after a while, right?"
"Hehe, it's nothing compared to that little mute. I estimate that this month, that little dumb man will eat at least 3,000 gold, maybe tens of thousands of gold. Damn, this is really 300 pieces a day, and I hate Lao Tzu to tears. ”
"I'm blind, if I had so many Guiyuan Dan, I would have become a fucking spirit realm master. ”
Mowgli turned a deaf ear to the chatter around him, and just looked at the lonely tower in distraction. Somehow, he felt that the shape of the Lonely Tower was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything.
When he was distracted for a while, his expression fell in the eyes of others, and he became a daze, a despair, a struggle before death, and a burst of merciless ridicule. The buzzing of discussion echoed through the Heavenly Academy like flies until it was interrupted by a majestic cough.
Meng Zili, the national teacher of Tianrong Academy, walked out, stood still on the steps in front of the Tianshu Tower, his majestic gaze swept across the audience, and the square was suddenly silent, and all the candidates had straight backs and solemn expressions, as if they were seeing a big guest.
Meng Zili took a step back and stood sideways.
Yin Congzhou and the others of Tiance Academy were all wearing national teacher uniforms, standing with their hands arched, not smiling, and looking respectfully at the gate of Tianshu Tower.
Accompanied by Ying Ziqing and other disciples of the Heavenly Academy, the Great Master slowly walked out.
Meng Zili took the lead and bowed, and said loudly: "I have seen the great master. ”
His voice was full of energy, and the Great Perfection realm made his voice like Huang Zhong Dalu, although he did not deliberately raise his voice, it was enough for everyone in the Heavenly Academy to hear it clearly, but he didn't feel harsh, as if Meng Zili was talking in front of him.
"I've seen a great national teacher!" Yin Congzhou and the other five national teachers bowed deeply, respectfully.
The Heavenly Academy was the first of the Seven Academies, one level higher than the other six Academies' national teachers. Tianrong Academy and Tianshu are side by side, Meng Zili can give half a salute, and the chime can be folded, but the Tiance Academy and other lower five courtyards must perform disciple salutes, and the waist must be bent to 90 degrees.
As for Wuji and other disciples who have not yet started, then they must bow down.
In a moment, except for the great master himself, everyone was shorter, and the difference was only whether they bowed their heads or bent over, or threw themselves to the ground.
Wuji raised his head slightly, looked at the bright moon in the stars holding the moon, and thought to himself that if Yin Congzhou and they knew that it was not the great power teacher who worshipped, but the queen, I don't know how they would feel.
His gaze collided with that of the Great Master. In an instant, he saw the worry of the great master.
The worries of the great masters are inevitable, and in a month's time, there has been no progress in the Hundred Variation Pill, and Wuji cannot achieve transformation. No matter how you look at the exam of the Lonely Tower, it is a waste of suffering, which is like a punishment.
Seeing the worries of the great master, Wuji's heart warmed. He knew that the great master was most worried about the fate of the empire. But he still felt a touch of warmth, a trace of maternal warmth and love.
Wuji lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"Get up. The great master raised his palm lightly, signaling everyone to be exempt.
Everyone bowed three times, and their movements were neat and uniform, as if they had been specially rehearsed.
"The Heavenly Book descended from heaven to assist Great Qin. Imperial millennium. Rampant in the world. The Heavenly Academy is the backbone of the empire, and the disciples of the Heavenly Academy are the messengers of the gods to protect the empire. You and others are all imperial heroes, and they can enter the Heavenly Academy. It is not only the yin virtue of your ancestors, but also the mercy of God......"
The great master opened his mouth unhurriedly, his tone was calm and solemn, and there was a hint of etherealism. It seems to come from the sky. It is enough to spread throughout the empire, making people feel awe-inspiring at the same time, and their blood is boiling, as if they are the people favored by the gods, and they will take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the empire from now on.
Even Mowgli felt a bit solemn and sacred at this moment.
After a reprimand, the Great Masters announced the start of the test. The national teachers took their seats in front of the Heavenly Book Pagoda, and the disciples of their own Heavenly Academy guided the candidates into the Lonely Tower. There is a small table in front of each lonely tower. In front of the table is a small table with an hourglass for timekeeping. Hold pen and ink.
I don't know what the intention of the great master was, Wuji was arranged in the first batch of tests.
Led by a disciple of the Heavenly Academy, he walked towards the Lonely Tower facing the gate of the Heavenly Book Pagoda. Two tall warriors approached and lifted the roof of the Tower of Loneliness with ease, revealing a cave about seven feet deep and no more than four feet wide, barely large enough for a man to sit in, and he had to keep his body upright, that is, a posture of meditation.
At the suggestion of the disciples of the Heavenly Academy, Wuji climbed into the stone cave and sat cross-legged on the futon at the bottom.
"Unless you can't stand it and ask for the end of the test, you are not allowed to touch anything other than the futon. The Heavenly Academy disciple said expressionlessly: "No matter what the reason, no matter what the part, once it hits the stone wall, the timer will be over." Got it?"
"Understood. Mowgli nodded and cautiously moved towards the center of the futon.
The disciples of the Heavenly Academy motioned for the samurai to cover the top of the tower, then flipped the hourglass and wrote the name and time of Mowgli on the table next to it.
Wuji didn't see this, and when the top of the stone tower fell with a bang overhead, it was pitch black in front of his eyes, and he couldn't hear anything except the lingering sound on the top of the tower.
He couldn't help but be amazed. He had just seen that the stone wall of the Lonely Tower was no more than three feet thick, and even if the sound insulation effect was good, it would not be so quiet. You know, there are more than 200 people outside, and one by one the lonely towers are opening and closing, and it is impossible not to hear at all.
However, there was a dead silence in the Lonely Tower, and there was no sound, only the sound of his own heartbeat and the sound of blood flowing in his veins, which was clear to his ears. Soon, he clearly felt the expansion of his blood vessels.
It's kind of amazing.
Mowgli was curious, sitting cross-legged in the lonely tower, carefully recalling that he had seen a qiē, guessing the possible principle.
According to the rules, he was to sit in the Tower of Loneliness for at least two hours, and if he didn't find some problems to think about it, he felt that it would be difficult for him to survive this time. In this environment of isolation from external sounds, the various physiological stimuli of the person will be multiplied and thus hallucinate.
The pain that the queen spoke of was probably one of the hallucinations. Sitting still for a long time can cause a stabbing pain in the body, especially in the lower back and legs, which can turn into an unbearable pain in extremely silent conditions.
To avoid hallucinations, keep yourself awake. It's a good idea to find something to distract yourself from paying too much attention to those physiological reactions.
Wuji originally planned to continue his research on the Hundred Transformation Pill in the Lonely Tower, but now, he has developed a strong interest in the Lonely Tower itself, and he really wants to know how this seemingly ordinary stone tower can be completely soundproofed without suffocating.
It is important to know that the prerequisite for sound insulation is to first isolate the medium through which sound travels: air. Without air, or with poor air circulation, it is difficult for a person to hold on to such a small enclosed space for two hours, unless he can directly use the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and does not need to breathe.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Wuji felt that his scalp was numb, and a faint vitality poured in from Tianmen-
