Chapter VII Introductory Assessment
The time of March passed in a flash, and during this period, the relationship between Ni Xin and Song Chenglong became much closer because of Ye Lehe's matter, and Ye Lehe seemed to have disappeared.
Compared with others, Ni Xin and Little Fat Man's three-month days can be said to be comfortable. Xun Sheng just asked the two of them to clean up the fallen leaves on the periphery every day, and he didn't arrange any tasks.
Ni Xin was also happy to be idle, and later simply let Song Chenglong sleep in the house, and got up early every morning to clean up, and sometimes when he went back, the little fat man was still sleeping in the bed.
Early this morning, Xun Sheng appeared in the courtyard of the two again, followed by a team of about 100 people, and these 100 people should be all the people who passed the entrance test this time.
Ni Xin saw Xun Sheng hurriedly go back to the house and drag out Song Chenglong, who was sleeping, and ran out, Ni Xin respectfully greeted Xun Sheng, Xun Sheng nodded lightly, but smiled at the little fat man in a friendly way.
.........
.........
"Ma Protector, there has been a delay on the road, and you have been waiting for a long time. Xun Sheng stood in front of the crowd and respectfully saluted a middle-aged man with a black face, changing his previous arrogance, and there was even some flattery in his eyes.
Ma Protector glanced at Xun Sheng, nodded lightly, and then spoke:
"How many people passed the introductory test this time?"
"A total of 97 people passed the entrance test, of which 9 were of the upper qualification, 36 were of the middle level, and the rest were of the lower qualifications. Xun Sheng replied respectfully.
"There are nine people with superior qualifications, and this time it is much stronger than the previous ones. Ma Protector's black face also flushed and smiled. Every time the Canglei Sect recruits disciples, it will reward meritorious deeds after the sect's assessment is over. If you recruit the best disciples, the sect will also give rewards.
Ma Protector coughed his throat and said loudly in front of everyone: "This time I am responsible for everyone's assessment, the content of this assessment is very simple, this step behind me is built by my sect's founding patriarch Tianrui Patriarch with great effort, and it is a place for my disciples to hone their minds. ”
"Among you, regardless of your qualifications, those who climb the five steps can become the registered disciples of my Canglei Sect, and those above the tenth rank can become the outer disciples of my Canglei Sect, you can rest assured that the stone steps will release different pressures according to your own strength. ”
Ni Xin didn't understand the meaning of "registered disciple" and "outer disciple", he knew that he only needed to climb the steps anyway, and the more he climbed, the better.
After Ma Protector finished speaking, he stood aside and watched everyone quietly.
All the children were excited, and whispered to the people around them, but no one dared to speak loudly, although these children were not very old, they also knew that this stone staircase was the place where their future fate was decided.
After a long time, a child finally walked out and walked to the stone steps, his clenched hands and white lips revealing the tension in his heart.
The boy lifted his left foot and went up the stone steps, and as if there was great resistance around the stone steps, he staggered to the first stone step, and the child breathed a sigh of relief, and his frown was furrowed, and suddenly, as if he had not stood firmly, he fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
At this moment, all eyes looked at the Ma Protector at once, and the Ma Protector said lightly: "First order, elimination, all the eliminated people can go down the mountain directly, or they can be sent by me to do miscellaneous labor for a year, and after a year, they will be re-assessed, and those who pass the assessment can still become registered disciples, and those who fail to pass will be completely eliminated." ”
After speaking, he added: "Every step of this stone step requires a lot of pressure, this is a test of your physical condition, as well as your willpower, don't relax your mind just because you climb the first stone step, because every minute you stand on this stone step you have to bear an extra pressure." ”
At this time, everyone was no longer as casual as before, everyone was not talking, and their eyes were solemn looking at the stone steps in front of them.
As for the child who was just eliminated, he chose to stay after crying for a while, after all, there will be a chance in a year, although these children are not very old, they do know more than children of the same age, Xun Sheng told him to go back to his house and wait for news.
Soon another person walked to the stone steps, and Ni Xin frowned, because the person who went up was Ye Lehe.
Ye Lehe stepped up the stone steps with a solemn face, standing steadily on the first step, he breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was not as difficult as he imagined, and he was a little disdainful of the child just now, just such a little difficulty failed, and he would be a waste in the future.
Ye Lehe proudly swept around the children, as if the emperor was inspecting his subjects, especially when he saw Ni Xin's direction, he deliberately raised his eyebrows, looking provocative.
Ni Xin pouted a little unwillingly, this kid is really enough, it seems that he has to find time to teach him.
Ye Lehe was very satisfied with the adoring gazes around him, and then stepped onto the second step again, realizing that it was not difficult, and then stepped up the third step.
Just when he stepped to the fourth step, Ye Lehe slowly withdrew his feet, and then showed a thoughtful expression on his face in front of the fourth step, and after a long time, he stepped out of the steps towards the fourth step with a solemn face.
Ye Lehe stood on the fourth step, his body kept shaking, as if he was about to fall down at any time, but he quickly stabilized his figure.
The people around him were also nervous for him, even if Ni Xin, who was not used to seeing him, hoped that he could pass the fifth order, so that everyone at least had the bottom of their hearts.
Ye Lehe also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he could pass the assessment by taking a step forward, but he also knew how difficult this step was, he hated to work the fourth order, and he had no bottom in his own heart on the fifth order, but at this time, he had no other choice.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he stepped forward, but his steps could not fall in any way, but judging from the distance from the fifth step, his feet were still much lower.
Suddenly, Ye Lehe let out an angry roar, and his footsteps fell heavily on the fifth step, and then his whole person climbed on the fifth step like an octopus.
Ma Protector still has a black face that has not changed for thousands of years, or maybe he has seen more of this kind of thing, he nodded lightly: "If you pass, you can become a registered disciple, and you can become a tenth-order or higher..."
Before Ma Protector's words were finished, Ye Lehe walked down the steps quickly, and then sat down on the ground panting, obviously giving up and moving on.
However, Ye Lehe's success still played a lot of good results, many people looked at Ye Lehe with envy, and some children were eager to try, after all, children at this age are competitive age.
After Ye Lehe rested, he stood up arrogantly and walked towards Ni Xin and the others.
"Ni Xin, why don't you go up and try?"
Ye Lehe looked at Ni Xin with a provocative expression, and seeing that Ni Xin didn't pay attention to him, he changed his words.
"That's right, at such an age, it's really embarrassing to find that you can't go up a single step after going up. ”
"Jackie Chan, you said that I don't know how just now, there was a dog barking all the time, did you hear it?"
Ni Xin plucked out his ears, ignored Ye Le and the little fat man next to him and said.
"I'm also sorry, maybe it was because I didn't have a good rest yesterday. ”
The little fat man responded to the road on the side.
"Who do you say is a dog. "Whoever is going to roll his arms up his sleeves is going to do it.
"Whoever promises is who. ”
After Ni Xin finished speaking, he pointed to Ye Lehe in the direction of the horse protector.
Ye Lehe looked at Ni Xin and the others with a pale face, and knew that it was not the time to do it.
"You two waited for me, I knew it was you two that night, I saw it, but it's not in a hurry, the days are still long, let's settle the account slowly. Ye Lehe whispered to Ni Xin with a gloomy expression.
Because of the excessive movement, Ma Protector's eyes were all attracted, but he quickly turned his head away.
Ye Lehe walked aside, and soon someone surrounded him to compliment, congratulations, Ni Xin was a little speechless, these are all children, why are they so philistine.
Soon someone went to step on the stone steps, but some fell down quickly, time flies, and in the evening, half of the people have not been assessed, Ni Xin and Song Chenglong are among them, Ma Protector stopped the next child who was going to try, and told everyone to continue tomorrow and then turned away.
After Ni Xin and Song Chenglong went back, the two of them went to bed early after eating for the first time, and the tense atmosphere was wrapped around this small courtyard.
