Chapter 122: Untitled
There was a crowd of people in the venue of the Ascension Conference, today is the third day of the test, and it is also the first day of the assessment of ordinary people in literacy, and there are many people who are blind and can't read a single big character, so they simply report their situation and wait for the notice of the City Lord's Mansion.
Shen Da listened to Zhao Xiaoyang's report, didn't ease his composure for a long time, and asked, "What's the matter? Could it be that there are so many people in the city, and more than half of them are illiterate?"
Zhao Xiaoyang said shyly: "Immortal Master, you can't blame them for this." Originally, this literacy and literacy were only learned by wealthy families, in order to decorate their own faΓ§ade. But most of the people in our city who come to sign up now are hard-working people, and they have to work hard to earn enough food on weekdays, and this literacy is simply impossible. This is not like martial arts, if you have the strength to practice, you can practice according to the cat and the tiger, and if you don't have someone to teach you how to read, it's impossible to know a few words!"
Shen Da twisted his brows, and didn't speak for a long time, Helianjun on the side patted him on the shoulder and said, "Elder Shen, this is a problem! β
Ignoring Helian Jun's ridicule, Shen Da was still thinking about how to solve the situation in front of him, this literacy is a compulsory course for monks, otherwise he can't even read the classics, how can he practice well?
Shouwang made an idea on the side: "Why don't you teach them some words on the spot, and then go to the test in a while?"
Shou Jing nodded, and said approvingly: "This is a good idea, since they don't know how to read, let's give them a chance to get to know each other, and then after a while, we will test how well they master, this solution is indeed novel!"
Shen Da smashed his fist and said, "Then do it!" Then he turned his head and said to Zhao Xiaoyang: "Little Brother Zhao, then this matter will be entrusted to your City Lord's Mansion, those who know words in the morning will be invigilated by these disciples, and you will be responsible for teaching other people who don't know words to know some words, and you will test them tomorrow." β
Zhao Xiaoyang took the order and left, and several elders in the internal affairs hall in the house couldn't sit still, and Tian Feng, who was the leader, said: "Hey, I don't know how many illiterate disciples can be recruited this time, but it's hard for us who are teachers!"
Liu Minqing disagreed, and said, "Elder Tian, what you said is a bit biased. Since we are role models, we must teach knowledge to these disciples. It's not just about cultivating, it's also one of our tasks to be a person and to be literate!"
"Okay, okay, don't quarrel anymore, it's still too early to talk about this matter, let's talk about it when they enter the Sanqing Palace. Helian Jun became a peacemaker between the two, turned the conversation and said, "Shouldn't we think about how those loose cultivators should be tested in a few days?"
Shen Er said bluntly: "Let's go directly to the ring, we monks, don't we just want to see the real kung fu under our hands!"
Shen San shook his head: "Second brother, what you said is too simplistic, and it doesn't match the concept of our Sanqing Palace! On the contrary, it is on par with those ordinary sects! What is the most important thing in our Sanqing Palace? It's not that this is different, as long as there is a goal to move forward, isn't it much more important than any cultivation?"
Shen Er said: "What you said is also true, but how can we have so much effort to discern the situation of these people one by one, they are all monks, unlike those ordinary people, Elder Helian's formation is useless to these people! It's better to follow what I said, go straight to the ring, it's simple and trouble-free, and the efficiency is also high!"
Suddenly, some of the people in the room agreed with Shen Er, and some agreed with Shen San, but the dispute only lasted for a while, and was stopped by Shen Da waving his hand, he said: "Since we are going to recruit disciples, we have to be responsible for them, and we must also be worthy of the reputation of the Sanqing Palace on our heads. β
The cultivators in the city didn't know what kind of test they were about to face, and they were all looking around for news. The father and son, who had reunited in the restaurant yesterday, also returned to the place where the cultivators gathered, listening to the discussions of others.
This middle-aged strong man is named Gu Xiong, a pair of children Gu Dongsheng and Gu Chenxi were raised by him since childhood, since his wife died of dystocia, he was alone with a pair of children struggling to survive, if it wasn't for the fate of the chance to get a medium-grade cultivation method, maybe now would have been living on the streets.
"Dad, what did you say about the origin of this Sanqing Palace, why haven't you heard of it before?" Gu Chenxi asked his father with wide eyes.
Gu Xiong shook his head and took a sip of the wine in front of him: "I don't know about this." However, looking at the elders sent by the Sanqing Palace to recruit disciples, they are all Jindan monks, so it is said that this sect should be considered a not small sect. But I've been walking in Beihai for many years, and I've never heard of such a sect, it's really weird!"
Gu Dongsheng poured his father a full wine glass and said, "Dad, is there something strange about this Sanqing Palace recruiting disciples?"
Gu Xiong shook his head as usual: "It's weird, it's not weird, we are loose cultivators, we don't have anything long, what can be remembered by others? Even if there is something weird, there are so many people, it won't be our family who suffers." β
Gu Chenxi pursed his lips: "Dad, I don't like what you said, the Sanqing Palace has given us a great future for this group of hard-working cultivators, is it still wrong? How can there be anything weird!"
Gu Dongsheng was a little speechless for his eccentric sister: "Sister, you are too young to know the sinister rivers and lakes! Although we are all casual cultivators, and we don't have anything, but in the cultivation world, there are exercises of evil sects, and they can do things like manipulating corpses, in case this Sanqing Palace also wants to do this......
Although he didn't finish his words, the meaning contained in them was undoubtedly revealed, which made Gu Chenxi feel cold all over, and said in disgust: "Dad, look at the eldest brother, he always says these scary things!
Gu Xiong somewhat agreed with his son's judgment, but although he looked rough on his face, he was very cautious in his bones, otherwise he would not have raised a pair of children safely: "What your brother said has some truth, but I also said it before, so many monks are here, if this Sanqing Palace wants to do something harmful, other sects will not let them go." Okay, hurry up and eat, it's not righteous to talk so much, just observe and observe in a few days!"
