Volume 2 Scholar XXXVIII March Bitter Training and Autumn Appearance
Just a few days ago, the senior brother Song Maidong informed himself that Zhuang You was responsible for the college assessment this time, and after Zhuang You learned the news, his first reaction was to refuse, not for anything else, just to avoid suspicion. Both the Ximen sisters and brothers are going to participate in the assessment, and he is not suitable as an assessor in any case, but the senior brother smiled and said that the dean had already said so, and this time there was an assessor, and he was just a deputy.
Seeing that the senior brother was resolute, Zhuang You's hair and eyebrows had grown out in the past few months, which was no different from before, and he could be regarded as able to see people. Zhuang You gave up, and could only firm up his fair position.
When the teenagers in the audience saw Zhuang You, they all became respectful and serious, and Ximen Qi was excited and couldn't wait to wave his hand, and was pressed by his sister, Zhuang You didn't look at the two of them, and said: "The family members stay here, and the rest of the candidates, come with me." ”
The college has prepared a resting place for the people accompanying the candidates, and Zhuang You led everyone to a school, where the students distributed paper to each candidate, filled in their own information, collected it and checked it, and after being confirmed by a special person, the formal assessment began immediately.
The first item is to consider the candidate's cultivation, that is, whether each person has entered the threshold of a realm. And this is not Zhuang You's business, it should be another assessor, but that person hasn't come yet, Zhuang You is a little anxious.
For a long time, a figure came late, it turned out to be a girl wearing a veil, Zhuang You has been on the mountain for a few years, he has never seen this person, and he can't find out the other party's cultivation, but it must be much higher than himself, it seems that he is a senior sister he doesn't know.
Greeted lightly, the other party did not respond, but walked straight to the front and probed the candidate's cultivation realm.
Zhuang You, who touched a gray nose, was a little embarrassed, but he didn't take it to heart, but watched the strange senior sister check, suddenly, the atmosphere on the field was condensed, and the senior sister with the veil stretched out her finger and pointed to a chubby teenager in the hundred or so numbers in front of her, and the two students who had been waiting on the side quickly came to the teenager and took him away, and the teenager was just stunned for a while, and then shouted and screamed, and the others looked sideways, Zhuang You didn't know what was going on, and directly stepped forward to ask: "Excuse me, is there anything wrong with this teenager?"
The woman still ignored Zhuang You, Zhuang You was a little angry, and was about to have a seizure, when the woman's finger was far away, and the breath of the teenager who was taken away in the distance was discharged, and she actually fell from a realm, no different from ordinary people.
Only then did Zhuang You know that this fat boy must have taken some kind of pill to simulate a realm of cultivation, and even he deceived him, and he was suddenly dumbfounded, shook his head, and stopped talking.
Most of the candidates didn't know what was going on, and the already solemn atmosphere was even more dull, Zhuang You saw this, so he explained, and when this inspection was over, the next assessment would be carried out.
And this item is the literary examination that Zhuang You is familiar with, the literary examination is divided into two examination rooms, namely Confucianism and Taoism, and another examination room has been opened for women who want to enter Qingxiu Peak.
And Zhuang You was in charge of the Taoist examination room, and Ximen Qi was watching him from a seat not far from him, and his expression was finally not as excited as at the beginning.
The test questions were distributed, and as soon as the order was given, the candidates began to write hard. Zhuang You didn't read the test questions, standing behind the lectern and staring at the candidates to prevent anyone from cheating, but his eyes couldn't help but cast his eyes on Ximenqi, this kid was working hard with his head buried in it, so he put his mind at ease.
In the past three months, Zhuang You has spent a lot of thought on the assessment of the two of them, and has studied the test questions of the past years, which are public, most of them are those without fixed answers, all depending on the examiner's preferences, but there are answers among them, Zhuang You sorted out dozens of sets of papers, Ximen Qi looked at the thick stack of papers, and his eyes were green, but there was no way, he had to bury his head and work hard under the pressure of Zhuang You. And Simon Lian also has corresponding test questions, and she is also gritting her teeth.
At the same time, Zhuang You also paid a lot of experience for the study of Ximen Chime Tongjiquan, and Zhuang You, who had practiced boxing for many years, had his own set of understanding of boxing, so he dismantled this boxing method, simplified it, and formed several core movements. Ximen Qi was still excited to think that this boxing method was a supreme secret, and asked Zhuang You excitedly, and Zhuang You told him a heartbreaking answer:
"This is a martial arts mastery. ”
"What, which sect is Wulin?"
Zhuang You touched his nose and told Ximen Qi that this boxing method was not created by a cultivator, but by an ordinary chivalrous man who was reckless.
Looking at Ximen Qi, who doubted life, Zhuang You said: "Don't underestimate this set of boxing techniques, some of the moves are very interesting, besides, you have only been in contact with practice for a few days, and you can't practice the cheats given to you, but this Tongjian is simple to get started with and has quick results." ”
Although Ximen Qi was reluctant, he could only accept it, muttering in his mouth, and followed Zhuang You to learn boxing, while Ximen Lian on the side was holding a thick thread-bound book and frowning, burying her head in hard reading. This book is a general outline of plants and trees that Zhuang You borrowed from Li Zhuling, and there is a way to distinguish plants and trees in the assessment.
Zhuang You inspected the Ximen Chime boxing method every day, and personally accompanied him to practice boxing, saying that it was a sparring partner, and every time he beat Ximen Chime, who respected Zhuang You the most, was beaten every day, and his heart was also depressed, and he gritted his teeth when he saw Zhuang You, and Zhuang You appreciated this unyielding momentum. Then there is Simon Lian, this girl seems to be weak, but she has an unusual talent for Qi Huang's technique, Zhuang You has a headache for all kinds of herbs, but Xiao Nizi can tell the difference clearly, and when she asks about her, Simon Lian does not speak, and Ximen Qi interjects on the side: "Sister wants to help you in the future!"
Just the beginning of autumn, the climate in the mountains is already slightly cool, the room is full of the sound of the tip of the pen brushing the white paper, Zhuang You looked at or scratched his ears and cheeks, or sweaty, or the young people with a determined expression, he couldn't help but feel a little in his heart, once upon a time, he was just a butcher shop guy in Qingban Town, and he became a student of Bailu College by fate, and many junior brothers and sisters have heard of his two case heads, which is really unpredictable.
After the long but short exam, the papers had already been collected, and looking at Ximenlian's confident and proud appearance, Zhuang You couldn't help but worry about Ximenlian.
Qingxiufeng's assessment is more relaxed than the other two, one is that Qingxiufeng's cultivation focuses on the apricot forest hanging pot to help the world, and the requirements for cultivation itself are not high, but it is not easy for women to practice, and the number of people is not so much, but Zhuang You still can't help but be a little worried, because the third round is not simple.
Approaching noon, the candidates rested first, and after having a skeptical lunch at the world-famous White Deer College, Zhuang You felt that some candidates even wanted to give up the afternoon assessment, so he couldn't help but go to the room to ask.
"Senior Brother Zhuang, why are you here?"
"You made this meal today?"
"yes, what's the problem?"
Looking at the dark and unknown pieces of meat, the dying and insect-infested vegetables, a pot of soup with a few leaves floating and the oil star saying that it is a pot of water, people would believe it.
"Didn't anyone guide you during the handover?"
"Oh, it was my roommate who was supposed to do it, and he was in a hurry, so let me replace him......"
Without saying anything, he walked out of the room, looking at Ximen Qi, who had always had a good appetite, looking at the rice in front of him that was hard to eat, Zhuang You sighed, and there was a sound in his ears, "Could it be that this is also the assessment of the academy?"
As soon as these words came out, the candidates present nodded frequently, and for a while everyone gobbled up, afraid that Zhuang You on the side would see that something was wrong, and the teachers and students of the college who were sad looked at each other again and again, this year's candidates are very hard-working!
After an hour, the third round of assessment officially began, and all candidates except Qing Xiufeng were to compete, and there was no limit to magic weapons.
Zhuang You has always been very strange about this, why is the assessment of the academy so utilitarian, obviously Confucianism and Taoism have many branches, why do you have to choose a reckless competition?
This is still Tang Jing told him the reason, because of the rules set by the predecessors who founded the academy at the beginning, this senior's magic power is Xuan, and it is best to fight the Eight Wilderness in his life, in the history of the academy, this predecessor raised a spirit deer, and this spirit deer is the hero who built the academy and carried it forward, and that senior is just a handshake shopkeeper, because of this, this academy was named Bailu, and Zhuang You knew that the dean was called Bailu, are these two the same person? This is the story of a thousand years ago!
The college stipulates that half of the candidates will be brushed off, and it is Zhuang You who assigns personnel to compete.
This is also a very crucial point for the examiner, if it is favoritism, it is very easy for some candidates to come in.
Zhuang You spent an hour studying the information of all the candidates as early as noon, and the college also had a corresponding investigation, so detailed that the things carried by each person were clear, and Zhuang You also had a corresponding choice.
The square halfway up the mountain is very large, which can accommodate multiple battles at the same time, and there are also many students acting as referees on the side, and among them, there is Dugucun! Zhuang You didn't expect this person to come, looking at him smiling with a fan, Zhuang You didn't care.
Zhuang You kept naming and assigning, and when he arrived at Ximen Chime, Zhuang You pointed to the name of another person, and this person was Xiao Ximen's opponent, and it was also Zhuang You's choice after careful consideration.
In Qingxiufeng, Ximen Lian and the others were conducting another tense assessment, and the cold voice of the veiled woman without any fireworks came to explain to the candidates.
Each of them has a recipe and corresponding materials and tools in front of them, and the corresponding medicine must be prepared within a certain period of time, and Simon Lian also spent two months using the medicinal materials brought by Zhuang You for training, but when she looked at the formula, her little face turned white, she had never seen something before, and she didn't even know how to configure it.
The battle on the main peak here is about to break out, and Zhuang You's expression is also solemn, if nothing else, it is because of Dugucun, he is actually the referee of Ximen Qi!
All kinds of teenagers in the square showed their skills to fight, and the ten-year-old Ximen Chime's opponent was the same age as him, but he was a young man who made a short knife, and his realm was worthy of a realm, even inferior to Ximen Chime, but Xiao Ximen was suppressed by the sharp blade, it was difficult to fight back, and the battle was very difficult.
And this is also the opponent that Zhuang You spent his time selecting for him, when he saw the candidate's information, Zhuang You knew that Ximen Qi was at most in the middle and lower, but he was unwilling to cheat for personal gain, so he chose this young man who was not long in his hand and practiced with a short knife, in the information, this young man is said to be a sword master who inherited the people of the rivers and lakes, and later learned to practice, which is very similar to Ximen Qi, but there are not as many spiritual fruits as Ximen Qi to take, so the true qi is not as good as Xiao Ximen, this battle is very suspenseful.
