Volume 44 Preparation for Selection
A huge mountain gate appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and there were three quaint big characters "Jade Finger Peak" written on the mountain gate. This is where this selection began.
There is a row of inns built next to the mountain gate, and various signboards are waving flags, and I want to have a little business these days, but now it is deserted, after all, the hospitality wing of Leiyin Temple has been opened, who will have a free wing room to live, and run here to spend money to live, of course, there are some rich people, in order to spend this money for a quiet ......
A little further into the mountain, is the wing room of the Lei Yin Temple, a row of neat side rooms appeared in front of you, like a huge courtyard, there are hundreds of rooms!
"Donors, you're here to participate in the selection. As soon as they entered the mountain gate, a little novice greeted them and gave them a Buddhist salute and said.
"Yes, we are here for the selection. Xiong Si hurriedly said, who would have nothing to do with the child and come here so far.
"Come with me, those donors. The little novice said politely.
"What do you call the little master? As he walked, Mingxuan chatted with Xiao Shami, wanting to know more about the situation.
"The little monk's horn sounded, and he was the welcoming monk of Yuzhi Peak. Yiming said politely. The welcoming monks of Leiyin Temple are obviously well-trained in etiquette.
"Did you also participate in the selection before?" Xiong Si couldn't help but say on the side, wanting to know more about the selection.
"Yes, I was selected last year, but unfortunately my qualifications are mediocre, so I can only be a welcome monk. Yiming said casually, and it was difficult to hide the regret in his tone.
"Leiyin Temple is very strict in selecting people, and Master Yiming can stand out among thousands of people, which is already very good. Ming Xuan comforted him kindly, of course, this is also true.
"Thank you for the compliment, please stay in the wing room with me. Yiming smiled gratefully at Mingxuan, and his depression calmed down.
"Yuzhifeng has a total of twenty rows of wings, each row has room fifty, a room can accommodate four people, the donor you live in the wing room is the twentieth row, the thirty-fifth, this is your key, because you came late, there is no one behind, the three of you will stay in one, I will not arrange for others to stay. After listening to Mingxuan's kind encouragement to him, Yiming can also be regarded as a peach hug, so that they will not be disturbed by outsiders, and they can sleep well and recuperate.
"So, thank you over there. "All three of them are not very sociables, and if one of them comes in without knowing them, they may not be used to it.
"Drop off your luggage and you can go around to find out, dinner starts at the unitary hour, each row of rooms has its own canteen, on the westernmost side, you eat there, after dinner you please gather in the open space in front of the wings, and someone will explain to you some matters of tomorrow's selection. Yiming explained as he helped them settle in.
The few people didn't have much luggage, and there was nothing to pack, so it was arranged in a short time, and after Yiming settled them, he took his leave and left, after all, he still had to receive others.
"I didn't expect so many people to participate in the selection, this is almost full! Isn't there nearly 4,000 people!" Ming Xuan calculated, and couldn't help but smack his tongue a little.
"Yes, there weren't so many in previous years, and it seems that this year's competition will be quite fierce. Xiong Si suddenly felt pressured, but Xiong Hei didn't care, maybe he didn't know what pressure was at all.
"Actually, Uncle Xiong, you don't have to worry too much, although there are nearly 4,000 people, but more than half of them are parents who send their children, and there are less than 2,000 people who really participate in the selection......" Ming Xuan said silently, even if he chose 100 out of 2,000 people, it was one out of 20 people, and the pressure was still not small.
"It's okay, I'm confident in Kuroko. Xiong Si patted Kuroko's shoulder and said, his tone was somewhat lacking in confidence.
"Forget it, don't think about it, or let's go out and get familiar with the environment. Ming Xuan hurriedly changed the topic to alleviate the increasingly somber atmosphere.
There are people living in the wing room one after another, it seems that the last wing room seems to be full, and there are bustling crowds outside, but because they are about to face the cruel selection, everyone's faces are a little dignified, there is no smile, obviously everyone realizes that this year's selection will be more cruel than before. On the contrary, some young and ignorant children had a lot of fun, and they didn't realize that the atmosphere around them was abnormal.
"It seems that everyone is in the same mood, what are you doing to make the atmosphere so solemn?" Feeling the oppressive atmosphere around him, Ming Xuan was uncomfortable, especially because these teenagers were about to become each other's opponents, so the eyes cast over were not very friendly, as if they were looking at each other's strength.
"I think we'd better go back, I'm getting goosebumps all over my body, I'm so uncomfortable. Xiong Hei looked at the eyes thrown around, and he was even more timid, and went straight into the house.
The three of them just went out, and they couldn't wait to return to the room, they really couldn't stand the atmosphere outside, and they all made themselves nervous, but it can also be seen that everyone attaches great importance to the selection.
After a short rest, Ming Xuan and the others came to the cafeteria early to eat, and then came to the gathering place where the next notice was made, quietly waiting for someone from Leiyin Temple to announce the rules of tomorrow's selection, but obviously everyone thought the same way, and after a while, almost everyone came to the open space, whispering, and waiting for the person who announced the rules to appear.
After a long time, several monks came to the clearing, bowed to everyone, and stood on the platform in the middle, and it seemed that he was the one who everyone was waiting for to announce the rules.
"Hello donors, the poor monk is one of the supervisors of this selection, and now I will explain the rules of this selection to you. As soon as Kong Zhi said this, everyone immediately quieted down, for fear of missing a word he said.
"Tomorrow, please get up at the right time, after breakfast, then go to the mountain gate of the Jade Finger Peak to gather, our selection will begin in Chenshi, please don't miss the time, the selection will be divided into three groups, according to the age is divided into under ten years old, ten to thirteen years old and thirteen to fifteen years old three groups, tomorrow please consciously go to the corresponding monks according to their age to register, because the assessment of each group is different. Sora Zhi slowly spoke the rules word by word, trying to make everyone hear them clearly, so that they could remember them.
"After registration, everyone should listen to the password, we set off at the same time, at this time, please parents do not follow, stay at the mountain gate to rest, let them complete the assessment independently, we will go to the top of the Jade Finger Peak, there is only one avenue to the peak of the Jade Finger Peak, along the way there will be monks of my temple to guide, so don't worry about getting lost, halfway through the trip, there will be a registration office, where is the end point of the group under ten years old to complete this assessment, after arriving we also have to register, you can rest after registration, in addition to food and water available, other groups of assessment team members, you can also supplement the rest thereThere will be a registration office at the half of the next trip, where is the end point of the 10-year-old to 13-year-old group, and the end point of the 13-year-old to 15-year-old is the peak of the Jade Finger Peak, remember! After each group of people who reach the end point first reaches half of this group, then the remaining people will be eliminated and cannot carry out the next assessment, so please hurry up, understand? That's all for the rules, do you still don't understand? If you don't understand, you can ask me directly. Although he has made it very clear, there are still many parents who are not very reassured, and they surround him on the inside and outside to ask about the situation.
The rules Mingxuan and the three of them were already very clear, so they didn't mean to surround them, and returned to their rooms.
"The difference in strength will be obvious depending on the age, and this grouping seems fair, and it makes sense to divide the itinerary according to the strength, and the arrangement is very tight. Ming Xuan analyzed them one by one.
"It seems that this first item is a test of everyone's endurance, but unfortunately I don't know what the next test is. Ming Xuan was full of expectations, but he could only stay at the mountain gate tomorrow and wait.
"Didn't you know the first level?" Xiong Hei obviously didn't understand Mingxuan's thoughts.
"I'm just here to see it, not to participate in the auditions. Ming Xuan smiled and said, he hadn't thought about participating at all.
"Gu Gongzi, I have something to ask for!" Since listening to the rules, Xiong Si has been muffled and silent, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he gave Ming Xuan a big salute, which frightened Ming Xuan and hurriedly supported him.
"Uncle Xiong has something to say!, it doesn't have to be like this!" Ming Xuan hurriedly said, not understanding what was going on.
"I hope you can participate in this selection!" Xiong Si suddenly said.
"Huh?!" Ming Xuan was completely confused at this moment.
"That's the case, you don't know this kid Heizi, he's so naïve, he can't deal with people, this first level won't be difficult for him, but it's not clear what the assessment will be in the future, I'm worried that he won't be able to pass, I hope you can participate in the selection together, you are about the same age, you will belong to the group of thirteen to fifteen years old, you can help him when the time comes, if you can let him follow the assessment of the pass, you are the great benefactor of our Xiong family!" After saying that, Xiong Si was about to bow down again, and wanted to pull Xiong Hei along, but Ming Xuan hurriedly supported them.
"But I didn't want to participate in the audition, let alone be selected. "Ming Xuan wants to worship at Qingyang Gate, not Lei Yin Temple.
"Hehe, this Gu Gongzi doesn't have to worry at all, it's hard to choose, but it's actually very simple to choose if you can't. Seeing that Mingxuan's tone was somewhat relaxed, Xiong Si knew that there was a door to this matter.
"This ......" Ming Xuan suddenly figured it out, yes! This is really not something that you can choose if you want to, and it's not easy to choose if you can't choose it? It seems that you are thinking too much.
"Okay, I'll go with Kuroko. "Ming Xuan really wanted to see what the selection of Lei Yin Temple was like.
