Two months passed in a flash, Zhao Xinming relied on a "non-existent" relationship with Elder Su, and no one bothered him anymore, and even the daily task of chopping wood was taken care of. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhao Xinming had no distractions, and he also took advantage of the night to go in and out of the inner and outer disciples' residences many times, and even went all the way to the elders' residences. It's just that the elder's residence is more special, it is an extreme realm, it is the place where yin and yang meet in the valley, and there are foreign masters in person for twelve hours a day. Zhao Xinming didn't dare to act rashly, he could only watch from afar, and he could even vaguely feel Liu Yue's presence in his heart. "The end of the world is close at hand", nothing more than this!

Time passed day by day, and the assessment time was getting closer. The outer disciple assessment is mainly for the outer disciples, and the miscellaneous disciples can be allocated a quota of 100 people each time. Picking out 100 people out of 3,000 people can be imagined, and the fierce competition can be imagined! Zhao Xinming did not need to worry about this matter, because in order to curry favor with Zhao Xinming, the big man at the head had already won a place for him. Zhao Xinming reciprocated the favor, and from time to time pointed out a few words to the big man and others, which immediately benefited them a lot and made rapid progress. In this way, the "unwarranted" relationship between Zhao Xinming and Su Jinye is further confirmed.

In the early morning of this day, a bell rang all over the Sun and Moon Valley, and the entire miscellaneous service area suddenly became lively, and the big man personally sent Zhao Xinming out. After a while, 100 miscellaneous disciples were assembled and headed to the outer gate under the leadership of a royal steward. Zhao Xinming swept around, these miscellaneous disciples were all ordinary people, the youngest was sixteen or seventeen years old, the oldest was less than 30 years old, wearing coarse cloth clothes, tattered, holding firewood knives, flat poles, hoes and other things in their hands, and nothing else.

The group left the miscellaneous area and walked west along the lake. At this time, the outer gate is all ready, and twenty circular high platforms are built on the square in front, one zhang high, more than five zhang in radius, and they are built of thick wood. There are 10 high platforms in each of the east and west directions, lined up in a row, and the numbers are marked from left to right. There are two fixed high platforms in the south and north directions, and a few people sit in front of them, with a dignified momentum, and at a glance, they know that they are all masters of Waigang, and they seem to be the elders of the Hehuan Sect.

Everyone walked to the square and saw the elders above the high platform, and immediately stood aside and waited with peace of mind. Steward Wang nodded, stepped forward, and said loudly: "Elder Qiqi, Elder Qian, all 100 miscellaneous servants have been brought here, please show the elders." ”

In the middle of the high platform in the north, a person slowly swept over everyone, nodded and said, "Yes, the king has worked hard. ”

Steward Wang grinned, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you for the praise of the elders, for the sake of the sect, Wang will never give up!"

After speaking, Steward Wang waved his right hand lightly and walked to the side with 100 miscellaneous servants. After a while, more than a thousand outer disciples, led by several elders, came over one after another. These outer disciples were divided into five groups, limited to the time of entry. The Hehuan Sect has a rule that the outer disciples do not need to participate in the assessment in the first three years, and those who cannot advance to the inner door within ten years will be driven out of the Hehuan Sect and will be left to fend for themselves, and everything has nothing to do with the sect. After waiting for a while, a group of people came again one after another, with a total of no less than four hundred. These people were disciples recruited by the Hehuan Sect from Zhongzhou and even the Great Zhou Dynasty. Among them, those with good qualifications directly enter the inner door, those with average qualifications enter the outer door, and the rest with poor qualifications either become miscellaneous disciples or participate in the outer door assessment, all of which are based on personal volition.

The assessment rules have also been announced a long time ago, and the outer disciples will first catch and fight, and several elders will select the top thirty and the bottom hundred. The first thirty entered the inner door, and the last 100 were expelled from the door. After the outer disciples finished fighting, the miscellaneous disciples and the new disciples fought in groups, and the top 100 were selected to enter the outer gate. Generally speaking, the outer door assessment is both fair and unfair, fairness lies in the fact that as long as you have absolute strength, you can definitely be promoted; unfairness lies in the elder evaluation system, there are too many subjective factors, and there are disciples who have been plotted for offending the elders over the years. Despite this, this assessment is still used today.

Elder Qian swept through everyone one by one and said loudly, "Begin!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw three men and one woman step forward and said loudly: "Elder Qiqi, Elder Qian, Zhao Cheng, Wang Quandong, Li Shouyuan, and Xu Rong have broken through the fourfold internal strength a month ago, and I also ask the elders to be clear." ”

The voice spread, and everyone looked at each other. The three men, one tall, one short and one thin, were about thirty years old. The tall man had a calm complexion and did not squint, the short man had a colored face and slowly swept over the crowd, the thin and tall man had a cold complexion and a disdainful face, and his eyes were facing the sky; the woman was tall, about 20 years old, and she looked quite a bit of grace, with a little fox between the corners of her eyebrows, and she was wearing a green gown with a smile on her eyes and looked at the elders on the stage with a smile in her eyes. The Hehuan Sect has a rule that the outer disciples can break through the inner strength within ten years and can directly enter the inner gate. Everyone immediately talked about it, some were envious, some were jealous, some were dissatisfied, and some pointed and made irresponsible remarks. The four of them turned a deaf ear and waited quietly.

Elder Qian looked at the four of them, slowly walked down the high platform, and slapped the four of them separately. The four of them turned pale and hurriedly fought against each other. Elder Qian's palm seemed to be slow and urgent, and he gently bypassed the four people and slapped them directly on them. Hearing only four muffled sounds, the tall man took a step back and quickly straightened up. Elder Qian smiled faintly and said, "Okay." The short man took three steps back and nearly fell to the ground, but managed to steady. Elder Qian nodded and did not speak. Only the tall and thin man and the woman were the most unbearable, and they were still knocked to the ground even after taking a few steps back, looking embarrassed. The woman was also well-behaved, and quickly stood up straight, bowing to Elder Qian and falling to the ground. Elder Qian frowned, but still nodded.

Xu Rong was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "The disciple thanked Elder Qian. ”

Elder Qian bowed slightly, and said loudly: "Zhao Cheng, Wang Quandong, and Xu Rong will be promoted to inner disciples from now on. ”

The thin and tall man's face changed, and he shouted, "Elder Qian, the disciple has also broken through the four levels of internal strength, why can't he advance." ”

Elder Qian snorted coldly and said, "Your breath is uncertain, your internal strength is vain, and you can't use it, how can you advance?"

The thin and tall man was still unconvinced, and said again: "Elder Qian, why was this slut able to advance?"

"Are you questioning the old man's decision?" Elder Qian sneered.

"The disciple didn't dare. The tall and thin man shook his head and said again, "Elder Qian, according to the rules of the sect, disciples of the outer sect can directly enter the inner gate if they break through the inner strength quadruple. ”

Elder Qian sneered and said loudly: "Very good, you have all heard, the rules of the sect, the old man will tell you what the rules of the sect are today!"

After speaking, Elder Qian's body moved slightly, and his right hand turned over and slapped it on the head. The tall and thin man was shocked and hurriedly stepped back. Elder Qian sneered, followed him like a shadow, only to hear a miserable scream, and the thin and tall man was slapped into a pool of blood on the spot! Everyone was terrified, and they were all stunned.

Elder Qian waved his sleeves, as if he had done something insignificant, and said in a deep voice, "Begin!" (To be continued.) )
