December 25

Five days before the end of the year, the Jingyang River outside Pingzhou Mansion was already crowded.

Today is the day when thirty-two large and small sects, large and small, openly choose disciples twice a year, and all the surrounding families with children over the age of 12 and under the age of 16 have arrived here early, and everyone's face is full of hope.

Because this will be the best shortcut for many people to change their lives against the sky and get out of the sea of suffering.

At this moment, a large number of viewing platforms have been built by the river, and many deacons and disciples of the sect, various powerful and wealthy families, and even the mansion have sent people over.

On the thousand-foot-wide river, there are more than 100 arm-thick iron cables!

"This is the assessment item for today's public selection of apprentices." On a small hillside in the distance, Xu Youran introduced to Wei Han in a soft voice: "Those who want to join the major sects, as long as you meet the age conditions, whether you are a little beggar or a cripple, as long as you have the ability to climb over, there will always be sects willing to take you in!" ”

"It doesn't matter if you can't climb over, the deacons of the major sects will rely on their eyesight and experience to distinguish the age, strength, physical state, willpower and other comprehensive factors of each assessor, and finally decide whether to accept it."

"There are no rules or constraints in this kind of assessment, and there are not even standards, it all depends on the preferences of the deacons of the major sects, and it is also a matter of luck."

"Hmm!"

Wei Han nodded when he heard this.

This assessment is actually quite scientific.

This is not like the Holy Land of the Immortal Gate, which can be used to measure the spiritual root and bone by various means.

The ethereal talent of ordinary martial arts cannot be measured, and it can only be considered by perseverance and physical fitness, which is also the experience that has been passed down from the major sects for hundreds of years.

Of course, there must be people who fish in troubled waters!

It is indispensable to abuse power for personal gain and cheat and fool people.

These are unavoidable, and it can only be said that this assessment is only relatively fair.

"How many children are we going to take the test?" Wei Han asked casually.

Xu Youran's face turned red, and he secretly took a sip before saying: "Who has children with you, there are 87 children in the Shantang who have reached the age of 12 this time and can participate in the assessment, and the remaining 274 people in the next two years can also participate in succession." They have all entered into the secret roster, and they have also set up contact codes, and they have all taught each other in private. ”

"They don't need to do anything on weekdays, just go back to the charity hall once a year to contact the relationship, if there is really something for them to do, or what information needs to be provided, then contact through the code."

Wei Han smiled with satisfaction again when he heard this.

He had taught these children personally.

Although none of the 87 people are top martial arts talents, they are much stronger than the children of ordinary peasant craftsmen, and they should all be able to enter a good sect.

At three o'clock, a middle-aged fat man stood up.

His voice spread to the audience through his true qi: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, today is a good day for the major sects to openly choose disciples twice a year, and I am also very pleased to see that my Pingzhou Mansion has many martial arts talents. Today, I am not someone in place of Fu Zun, and I am here to preside over this assessment, and I hope you will have the courage to perform and win the crown! In addition, I also hope that the dragon and phoenix among you will have a future future, and don't forget the cultivation of the imperial court, and don't forget the care and love of the lord! ”

The middle-aged fat man is enthusiastic and chattering!

So much so that when many people in the audience were impatient, this person announced the start of the assessment.

This scene made Wei Han frown secretly, and also told Xu Youran: "Tell the children of Shantang not to be in the limelight, just show seventy or eighty percent of their potential, the thirty-two major sects of Pingzhou Mansion, the apprentice selection ceremony is actually presided over by the Fuzun, I am afraid that there is something boring or game here." ”

"Not bad!" Xu Youran chuckled and said: "Your guess is right, the mansion and the major families have always wanted to suppress the development of the sect's forces, so they restrained each other to make such a ceremony, if anyone performs too well, they will be targeted." ”

"Huh!"

Wei Han smiled slightly and continued to watch the play!

This is the beginning of this huge selection of apprentices.

At the urging of their families, thousands of teenagers and girls climbed directly onto the iron rope and kept crawling towards the opposite bank.

These iron cables are all forged from large iron chains, and the whole body is cold, and this winter is particularly cold, so that if you grasp it in your hand, you can freeze your hands, and you will quickly lose temperature when you hold it in your arms.

Most of the children are low-minded!

They gritted their teeth, used their hands and feet together, and kept hanging upside down and crawling forward.

For many, every meter traveled is torture.

Many of them were physically exhausted or could not bear the severe cold, and fell into the Jingyang River screaming on the spot, but fortunately, the river was not turbulent, and there were still a large number of boats waiting on the river.

If someone falls into the river, the boatman will rescue the person!

If you drown before you can save it, you can only blame yourself for your bad life.

In these years, every step forward for the people at the bottom has to step through the sea of corpses and blood, and the only ones who are unlucky are the dead, which is a fact that everyone has tacitly acquiesced.

Gradually, there are some teenagers and girls who stand out!

Most of them were the children of wealthy businessmen or small families.

With their family background, although they don't have the ability to enter the major sects through the back door, they have nourished and tempered their bodies since childhood, so they have more advantages than ordinary poor teenagers, and they can climb very fast!

After just a stick of incense, several young people in Chinese costumes crawled across the opposite bank!

They were immediately favored by many sects, and even several top sects threw olive branches to them.

"It's not fair!"

There were many people in the crowd who were so angry that their faces were flushed.

Wei Han sneered dumbly, unfair? How so?

The martial artist's family background is also a help, and now this simple assessment also gives ordinary people a chance, if they enter the martial arts sect to practice, with help and without help, the gap will be even more infinitely widened.

There is no real fairness in the world!

Gradually, the children of Shan Tong also began to climb.

They scattered under the leadership of the Wang Sect Leader, and did not attract anyone's attention, it was only Wei Han's vicious eyes that he could recognize them from a hundred zhang away.

"Zhou Yi? Wang Pengfei? Li Liangji? ”

"Fu Cuiyun, Liu Xizhao, Liu Weiwei!"

Wei Han recognized them one after another.

He had personally taught each of these young men and girls, and he was very familiar with them, and he could recognize them at a glance from the chaotic crowd.

They are very competitive, and each one of them gritted their teeth and crawled forward!

Even if the cold chain handle was frozen, they never gave up.

These orphans are more powerful than he thought!

They are all people who have experienced human suffering, and they know that happiness is not easy to come by, and now they have been given a chance to climb up, even if it is a mountain of swords and fire, it is impossible to let go.

Compared with those rich children who have been refining their bodies since childhood, although they are not outstanding, they are much stronger than ordinary poor children.

After some hard work, many of them fell into the eyes of the deacons of the major sects!

"It's done!" Xu Youran said in surprise: "Resources, talent, conduct, perseverance, and foundation are the top priorities of the major sects in selecting people, they account for the foundation and perseverance, although they will not be robbed madly, but they will definitely not be able to enter the sect." ”
