Chapter Seventy-Six: The Trial of the True Legend (Part II)
It's been so long since he remembered it very well.
Wu Hao thought about it for a long time, and then remembered that the rules of this blood-colored trial were similar to a relatively popular game in his previous life.
"Eat chicken!?" Wu Hao blurted out.
Old man Xue paused for a moment, and then picked up a chicken leg according to what Wu Hao said.
He said appreciatively to Wu Hao: "Good boy, when I mentioned to you such a cruel trial rule of the sect, you can still invite me to eat chicken without changing your face." The old man is more and more optimistic about you!"
Wu Hao couldn't laugh or cry a little, but he could only follow Old Man Xue's words and say: "It's none of my business, of course I'm calm." No matter how cruel the true transmission trial is, it can still affect our ability to eat chicken. ”
As he spoke, he picked up another chicken leg and accompanied Old Man Xue to nibble on it.
I don't know why, Wu Hao obviously didn't care about the words, but Old Man Xue felt some kind of strong confidence in it.
Shaking his head and dispelling the illusion in his heart, Old Man Xue continued: "Don't feel that it's none of your business. Once a disciple is promoted to the inner gate, no one can escape the effects of the Scarlet Trial. My Red Lotus Sect recruits more than 1,000 disciples every year, and among these disciples, there are only a few dozen of them who can really be promoted to the inner gate. After accumulating in this way, my Red Lotus Sect now has tens of thousands of people in the outer gate, and there are also thousands of disciples in the inner gate. How many do you think our true disciples can have now?"
Before Wu Hao could guess the specific number of people, the old man stretched out three fingers, tapped the desktop and said, "There are only three people!"
"Why are there so few?" Wu Hao asked, "There is a trial every three years, one every three years, even if you save for thirty years, you will get ten?"
"That's not how it ......," the old man shook his head and smiled, "Not every blood-colored trial can be opened. Human life is only once, who does not cherish it. Therefore, when most of the inner disciples are not sure enough, they would rather run around for the sect and earn enough contribution points to pay to the sect to exempt them from the obligation to participate in the blood trial. ”
"Isn't the Blood Trial voluntary?" Wu Hao asked, and couldn't help but think of his sister.
"Hey, of course, the sect is not a bad hall. The old man sneered and said: "The treatment of the outer disciples of the sect is still very lenient, after all, you have paid the money, strictly speaking, you are supporting the entire Red Lotus Sect." But once you become an inner disciple, your treatment in the sect will increase dozens of times. How could the sect allow people to enjoy cultivation resources and wait for death. ”
"While being able to learn the Divine Skill and enjoy a lot of resources to cultivate, the inner disciples also have corresponding obligations. That is, it is necessary to contribute to the development of the sect. The sect will give the inner disciples the corresponding space for growth, so at the beginning, the exemption contribution points that need to be paid every year are very small, and they can be completed easily. However, as the disciple's time in the inner gate increases, the contributions that need to be paid will increase year after year according to a certain weight. Until the disciple can no longer bear it, so he participates in the blood trial, or becomes a sect service member such as a steward, a teacher, or a deacon, and no longer enjoys the treatment of an inner disciple. ”
"Of course, this is for most inner disciples, for the kind of disciples who are determined to pass on the true tradition and hold on to fighting a bloody path from the beginning, such rules are almost non-binding. Instead, they need to worry about a different situation. ”
"What's the situation?" Wu Hao asked with interest when he heard this.
"Not enough people!" the old man sighed, and then said, "Before the trial, everyone has a basic judgment on the strength of their own strength. In the case of advance preparation, who is willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others. Therefore, many times it is the age when the Scarlet Trial is opened, but it is not enough for hundreds of people to participate, and it is impossible to open the Scarlet Secret Realm. ”
"In this way, many good seedlings have been delayed. For example, Cao Wushuang, who is now the leader among the inner disciples, has signed up for the Scarlet Trial for three consecutive sessions and nine years, but he has not been able to promote to the True Inheritance because the number of people is not enough to open the trial. If only it were for three more times. I'm afraid that he will have no hope of being a true disciple because he is too old. Old man Xue shook his head and said, Wu Hao even heard a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.
"Can this still be the case?" Wu Hao couldn't help but start to worry a little about his true inheritance path, and asked, "Is it too unfair to others?"
"How can there be fairness on the path of cultivation?" Old Man Xue took a sip and raised his voice: "After all, that kid is not strong enough. If he was strong enough, he would be able to continuously interfere with other disciples in completing the sect's tasks for three years, making them unable to complete the payment of exemption contribution points, and they had to accompany him to the trial. ”
"Do you think the trials are only once every three years? In fact, the real trial began the moment they joined the inner door. Speaking of this, Old Man Xue laughed: "Speaking of which, decades ago, in my generation, there were really people who forcibly gathered enough people to start the trial by interfering with other disciples. That guy is much more extravagant than the kid surnamed Cao, but because of this, he provoked the anger of the public, and on the first day he entered the secret realm, he was killed by hundreds of disciples united!"
"It's really a sad story!" Wu Hao smiled and mourned silently for his seniors.
Then he spoke, "It seems that it is not the strongest person who can pass the trial." What's the point of such a selection? There's too much uncertainty. Will there be a disciple who will find a place where no one hides and be Voldemort as soon as he enters, and then let others fight almost enough, and then go out to pick up cheap and get lucky? ”
"Hey, have you heard anyone say that?" Old Man Xue said with wide eyes, "How do you know about the glorious deeds of the current Sect Master?"
Although Old Man Xue didn't understand what "Voldemort" was, he still understood Wu Hao's general meaning, so he wondered how Wu Hao knew about this kind of operation.
"Sect Master......" Wu Hao seemed to understand something.
"So you don't know!" the old man knew that he was speechless, but it was not a secret to think of this kind of thing, so he said frankly: "Of course, this kind of thing will not be recorded in the "History of the Sect". However, our sect master was indeed framed when he was still in the outer gate, and he had to participate in the bloody trial. ”
"Then she relied on forbearance and wisdom to solve all the inner disciples who were much stronger than her, and since then she has soared to the sky, promoted to the true inheritance, and started her legend in the Red Lotus Sect!"
"Outer disciples can also participate in the trial, are there no other requirements?" Wu Hao couldn't help but ask when he heard this.
"Of course, there are no requirements, not just outer disciples. Those are deacons, stewards, teachings, and so on in the Red Lotus Sect, as long as they are under the age of fifty. All of them can be registered. Moreover, if you violate certain sect precepts, you will also be forced to participate. Old man Xue said: "However, the blood-colored trials that have been successfully opened in the past are still the most likely for the inner disciple to win and be promoted to the true inheritance. Because as soon as you enter the inner gate, you will enter that kind of urgent competitive atmosphere, and you will grow much faster than disciples of other identities. ”
Then he looked at Wu Hao, who was very interested, and couldn't help but joke: "What, do you want the old man to help you register, next year will be the day when the bloody trial will begin." ”
"Well, I need to prepare. Wu Hao said matter-of-factly: "If you really hope to be promoted to the true biography next year, please eat chicken at that time!"
"Well, the old man has a bad mouth. Old man Xue looked at Wu Hao's nonsense, and said casually: "You should invite your senior sisters and sisters to eat." ”
Wu Hao looked the old man up and down, and said with a look of "I can't imagine that you are this kind of person": "Wow, old man, your thoughts are a little complicated." The sect asked you to guard the ancestral hall...... Is it really good?"
As soon as Wu Hao's words fell, he saw a wine bottle being thrown over. At the same time, Old Man Xue's angry voice came: "Get out! I think it's too little to punish you kid for sprinkling and sweeping for a month." I'll have to punish you for at least a year like this!"
