Chapter 35: Enter the Outer Gate
After a long while, there were finally only three people left in front of him. This means that he will soon be freed!
He took advantage of the much widening field of vision in front of him and carefully observed the steps of the test.
First of all, naturally, is to test bone age.
I saw that the white-clothed disciple standing on the right side first took the jade plate of the tester, checked it and handed it to the disciple who recorded it, and then he handed the person who was testing a small slender tube that emitted a glowing white light.
The tube is very similar to the bamboo flute that Wang Xiaokan saw before he crossed, with many holes of the same size carved on it, but the size is a miniature version of the bamboo flute, which is only about one-third the size of the bamboo flute.
"You take a deep breath and then gently blow into this bone flute, and you know the result. The white-clothed disciple said slowly.
Compared with his light clouds, the person on the other side of the test was a little in a hurry, and he didn't know how to be at a loss, he stiffly stretched out his hand, and almost didn't catch the bone flute. was glared at by the man in white, he rubbed his fingers, took the bone flute in a panic, and didn't see it clearly, pinched the side and blew it in, and then, with his eyes blank, looked at the white-clothed disciple opposite who decided his life and death with a word.
The white-clothed disciple pursed his lips helplessly and reminded, "You caught it the other way, the green end is the one you want to blow on." ”
Wang Xiaokan followed his words and focused his eyes on the bone flute, and sure enough, he saw that the white and shiny flute had different colors at both ends, the slightly thicker one had a lilac at the top, and the slightly thinner end was the green end reminded by the man in white.
was taught by the man in white, the man embarrassed "ah......", did not look carefully, and hurriedly turned the bone flute over and blew it again, the desperate hope made Wang Xiaokan, a bystander, also moved.
Probably seeing too many such people, the man in white didn't have any special reaction, glanced at the bone flute, and said lightly: "Bone age is twenty-four, qualified, next." After saying that, his eyes naturally aimed at the person behind him.
Seeing this, the person who tested was very relieved, and saw that the other white-clothed disciple on the left was already waiting for him, so he slowly walked forward two steps and stood in front of the spirit stone that Wang Xiaokan had swept before, waiting for orders.
"Don't be nervous, just put your hands on it. The man looked gentle, reassured, and instructed the subject to put his hand on it.
I saw that in the glittering white spirit stone, four colors of red, green, blue and yellow suddenly appeared, which made the white-clothed disciple who was still very gentle just now sink his face and said lightly: "The four spirit roots of water, wood, fire and earth, no cultivation, inferior qualifications, qualified." The last two words, he pronounced with difficulty, and his face was unwilling, which made the tester look apprehensive.
Fortunately, the words of the white-clothed disciple who made the record immediately followed: "No. 34, bone age is twenty-four years old, water, wood, fire and earth have four spiritual roots, no cultivation, inferior qualifications, qualified." And handed him a light gray wooden sign, which made his face soften by two points, bowed his head and arched his hand to the three of them, and went to find his place.
"No. 35, bone age is twenty-one years old, wood, fire and earth three spirit roots, no cultivation, medium qualifications, qualified. ”
"No. 36, bone age is twenty-three years old, gold, water, wood, fire, and earth five spirit roots, no cultivation, inferior qualifications, unqualified. ”
The time to observe the inspection passed much faster, and soon it was Wang Xiaokan's turn.
He handed over the sweaty jade plaque in his hand, then took a deep breath, solemnly took the bone measuring flute handed by the white-clothed disciple, turned to the green end, blew lightly, and heard the man report: "Bone age is twenty-one, qualified, next." ”
Wang Xiaokan tightened his face, not letting his joy be revealed, and pretended to calmly put his hand on the spirit stone, and saw that the stone erupted in red, green, and blue.
"The three spiritual roots of water, wood and fire, the cultivation of the first layer of qi, the qualification is medium and good. As soon as the last word fell, Wang Xiaokan's eyes almost moistened.
He blinked vigorously, forced back the tears in his eyes, and listened to the report of the recording disciple with a smile on his face: "Thirty-seven, bone age is twenty-one years old, water, wood and fire three spirit roots, cultivation of qi at the first level, medium qualifications, good. Then he took the light green wooden sign he handed him, and without asking why it was different from the previous ones, he cautiously withdrew from the team.
On the periphery, Wang Xiaokan looked at the pious team again. Stretching back from the white-clothed man's table, the long queue had filled the originally empty and spacious mountain gate. However, Wang Xiaokan knew that these people were not even half of what he browsed before the first level. And after today, I'm afraid I'll have to brush up on another batch.
It is worthy of being one in a million Bixia Sect to accept disciples, and in just two levels, Wang Xiaokan has seen the cruel competition system of this sect, but he doesn't know what awaits him in the future?
Wang Xiaokan shook his head, didn't think much about it, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
Before that, he was part of the team, but now, he's finally settled. Because, at this level, he broke through again.
So, as long as he works hard, as long as he doesn't give up, he's still hopeful, isn't he?
When Wang Xiaokan walked into the mountain gate, he found that there were already disciples waiting for him.
He handed the wooden plaque to the gray-clothed disciple who received it, arched his hand humbly, and said, "Boy Wang Xiaokan, I have seen senior brother." "Now that the situation is unknown, he had better be careful.
But seeing that the gray-clothed disciple who took the wooden card helped him up with a panicked face, and bowed a more humble salute, his face was about to fall to the ground, and his voice came into Wang Xiaokan's ears in a muffled voice: "The kid is just a miscellaneous disciple, how dare he work for the senior brother to salute?"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaokan's heart moved: he had seen a gray wooden plaque before, and this disciple in gray said that he was a miscellaneous disciple, could it be that Bixia Sect used the color of clothing to distinguish disciples?
Without waiting for Wang Xiaokan to continue thinking, the gray-clothed disciple raised his voice with a solemn face: "Outer disciple!" told him the answer, "It turns out that it is really an outer disciple!" Wang Xiaokan felt a little lost in his heart, his face was not revealed, and he nodded to this disciple with a smile.
I don't know if it's because of this kind gesture, or because of Wang Xiaokan's identity, when the disciple handed the wooden card back to him, he whispered to him: "The outer disciples are wearing green robes, which is very recognizable, and the senior brother can find your team on his own." Although there was no information available in the words, Wang Xiaokan still accepted his affection and smiled at him again.
However, the word "team" made Wang Xiaokan stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that there were four differently dressed disciples standing ten steps in front of him, namely purple, white, green, and gray, but only the purple-clothed disciple and the white-clothed disciple stood behind a few people, all of whom he didn't know. Behind the other Tsing Yi disciples and gray Yi disciples, there was no one.
What does that mean?
