Volume 1: Stepping into the Fairy Fate Chapter 4, Introductory Test
Bishui River is a big river in the south of Changyang County, the river water is green and flowing all the year round, and it is a famous place to explore the seclusion nearby.
Yi Xuan rushed to the bank of the river early the next morning, and many poor children in the county were willing to enter the academy as miscellaneous disciples, hoping to change their fate. The riverside, which was sparsely populated in the early morning, became buzzing with people who came to participate in the test.
Looking up, I saw a temporary courtyard enclosed by a fence in the open space by the river in the distance, and four pergolas were specially built with cattail grass in the courtyard, and the pergolas were tightly covered with black gauze around them, and I don't know what kind of arrangement was inside. An area was enclosed with a thick red rope at the entrance of the courtyard, and the five blue-robed monks who were in charge of signing up for the Jade Academy yesterday stood there with solemn faces, looking at everyone without saying a word.
Shen Junliang raised his eyes to look at the sun, whispered a few words to the deacon surnamed Chang, took a few steps forward, and said loudly: "Everyone, presumably they are all teenagers and relatives and friends who came to participate in the academy's miscellaneous disciple test, and Shen first thanked everyone for the academy. Today's test is very simple, divided into four levels, such as distinguishing objects, measuring spirits, physical strength and courage, each level is presided over and scored by the next and three people in the same door, and finally according to the number of each person's score to determine the entry qualification! The rules have been explained, and then please hold up yesterday's registration wooden card, one to forty to the sky shed, forty-one to eighty to the ground shed, eighty-one to one hundred and twenty to the Xuanzi shed, the rest of the numbers are all to the yellow shed, in turn according to the number of registrations one by one to enter!
Yi Xuan saw that the wooden sign in his hand was No. 109, so he followed the crowd to the pergola with the word "Xuan", and ranked in the back according to the number. What are the topics of the four pergolas, Shen Junliang did not explain just now, all the teenagers do not know what test is waiting for them, and they are all looking at each other.
After all the teenagers walked to the designated pergola, the deacon surnamed Chang, who remained in the middle of the four pergolas, shouted with all his spiritual power: "Everyone is allowed to enter the pergola in turn, no peeping, no talking, no inquiry, no trouble, otherwise they will all be disqualified!"
The "four nos" made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn, and the four teenagers in the first place in the pergola suddenly turned pale and walked into the pergola tremblingly. In less than a moment, four teenagers came out of the pergola back and forth, only one of the teenagers who came out of the "yellow" shed showed joy on his face, and the other three were either depressed or dead. The teenagers in the back queue became even more uneasy, but under the gaze of the deacon surnamed Chang, they could only wait silently for the unknown test.
Finally, a girl in a flower jacket couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere around her, and cried "wow".
"Get out of here, you've been disqualified!" The deacon surnamed Chang said in a cold voice mercilessly.
The girl in the flower jacket shook her lips, slowly walked out of the group, ran out of the test courtyard in two or three steps, and returned to her family who were waiting outside.
The crowd in front of the queue decreased in turn, and there were joys and sorrows among those who came out...... Finally, it was Yi Xuan's turn to go in and test.
Sideways into the pergola with the word "Xuan", there was a green-robed monk sitting in the middle, and said expressionlessly: "I am responsible for testing physical strength, there are nine stone mortars on the ground, representing different weights, the largest evaluation is "One", and the smallest evaluation is "Jiu", start your test!"
Yi Xuan now knew that this was originally a test of strength, but he was thin and weak since he was a child, and his strength was extremely poor, and this test was mostly unlucky, so he asked, "Lord Examiner, can I try it first?"
"Yes, you have three chances!"
Yi Xuan looked at the largest No. 1 stone mortar, which was twice as large as his body, and he definitely couldn't lift it, and then he aimed his eyes at the No. 5 stone mortar in the middle, which was almost half the size of his body, and he could try it. Walked to the edge of the No. 5 stone mortar, held both sides of the stone mortar with both hands, and exerted a force on both legs and waist and abdomen, but the stone mortar did not move at all. Giving up the No. 5 stone mortar, Yi Xuan tried the No. 6 stone mortar again, although this time he was able to lift the stone mortar slightly off the ground, but he still couldn't lift it above his head, so he had to give up again.
In the end, Yi Xuan was afraid of wasting the last opportunity, so he didn't dare to try the No. 7 stone mortar, but directly lifted the No. 8 stone mortar, which was only the size of a watermelon, and got a "squeeze" result in the physical strength test of the "Xuan" character pergola.
The teenagers who completed the test exchanged the pergola of the test in turn, and this time it was Yi Xuan's turn to enter the pergola with the word "yellow".
Entering the pergola, it was Shen Junliang who presided over it, and in front of him was a long table with nine different items on the table, including refining materials, pills, and spiritual herbs.
"These are nine common spiritual objects, this level tests your ability to identify spiritual objects, point out the spiritual objects you know one by one, the more correct answers, the higher the evaluation! Let's start!" Seeing someone coming in, Shen Junliang explained the test to Yi Xuan.
Yi Xuan glanced at it, fortunately, he had been doing chores in the grocery store in the past few years, and he had subtly memorized a lot of spiritual objects, and he actually knew eight kinds of spiritual objects on the table, and his heart was relieved, and he said the names and uses of eight of them one by one.
"That's right, I actually recognized eight kinds!It's not bad among this batch of registered teenagers!" Shen Junliang nodded in praise as he wrote the word "two" on Yi Xuan's wooden sign.
Next, Yi Xuan came to the pergola with the word "sky". In the pergola, a dark-faced monk in a green robe sat on a high chair, and on a square table beside him was a strangely shaped black stone.
"Just put your hand on the spirit stone and concentrate on what the spirit stone looks like!"
It turned out that this was the famous spirit measuring stone, Yi Xuan had long heard that the disciples of the Xiuzhen Sect had to use the spirit measuring stone to test the spiritual root, but they had never had the opportunity to meet, but they didn't expect that they would use such strange things when they participated in the miscellaneous disciple test today.
Wiping the sweat from his shirt with his right hand, Yi Xuan slowly put his palm on the surface of the spirit stone, closed his eyes, and continued to portray the appearance of the spirit stone in his heart. The green-robed monk stared intently at the changes in the spirit measuring stone, and finally after half a pillar of incense, the surface of the spirit measuring stone emitted a bleak white spiritual light.
"Linggen Nine Grades, purple, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, brown, gray, white, you kid is actually the worst white Nine Rank Spiritual Root, this qualification can be regarded as one in a hundred! Take your wooden card!" The green-robed monk couldn't help but tease Yi Xuan a few words.
Although he didn't understand what the green-robed monk said about the Nine Grades of Spiritual Root, but from his words and the dazzling word "Jiu" on the wooden plaque, Yi Xuan also understood that his qualifications must be extremely poor, and he couldn't help but walk out of the pergola in frustration.
It wasn't until he was pushed by the teenagers queuing up behind him that Yi Xuan woke up from the confusion, and when he looked up, he turned out that he had come to the front of the pergola with the word "ground", and was about to start the next round of testing......
