Chapter 22: The Reward for the First Place in the Trial
The black Jiao is physically tired, but the spirit is not tired.
Pulling his thoughts back to the body, Ye Qing woke up a few people.
After a night's rest, Ye Xidong's face became even worse. Ye Qing gently pressed his chest and broke two ribs.
The younger brother Ye Xibei's arm is swollen like a lotus root, and several people can't connect bones. I had to support the two of them, and after seeing the end, could I ask the people of the Giant Spirit Sect to help.
There are only more than 70 miles left, and the end of the map is behind the main peak of Ruyun Mountain. It may have something to do with the fact that the towering Irumo Peak blocks out the hot southwest monsoon, and it is as warm as spring, and there were no mosquitoes when I slept last night.
Listen to the sound of the water, smell the flowers. The five-member team of Huangyu County, after spending three nights and one day in the wilderness, finally reached the scheduled destination.
In front of you is a series of mountains.
As far as the eye can see, there are many palaces built on top of the rolling hills. Some of the peaks are as high as thousands of zhang, straight as a knife, and there are waterfalls like jade dragons cascading down on them.
Overhead is the blue sky like the sea, and under the soft sunlight, there are snow-white giant eagles soaring from time to time, embellishing the whole picture full of fairy spirit.
"This ...... Is it the Giant Spirit Sect?" Su Xiang looked at the depths of the mountain peak, the huge city that loomed in the towering clouds and mist, and almost thought that he had come to the immortal realm.
Ye Qing looked at it at a glance, and was also shocked by this scene like the Heavenly Palace Victory Realm, and was speechless for a long time.
Da Da Da ~ Da Da Da ~ There was a crisp sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance, Ye Qing looked up and saw five unusually tall black horses running towards him in front of him.
The five black horses were very humane, they ran to the five-person group in Huangyu County, and after neighing a few times, they knelt down on their front hooves and motioned for a few people to get on the horse.
And then......
Several horses sneezed wildly in their nostrils, and looked at the five-member group of Huangyu County with strange eyes of "how can you stink like this".
After a stalemate for a long time, the horses finally carried a few people. After running for more than ten miles with them, he came to the foot of a mountain peak at the front, where there was a city similar to Huangyu County.
The city has no name and no guards. The horses carried a few people to the gate of the city, knelt down and motioned for them to dismount, and then an old man in a gray robe greeted them with a smile.
"For three and a half days, the first place this time was a little later than I expected. The gray-robed old man smiled heartily, as if he didn't smell any stench at all: "You can call me Uncle He, report your name, and I will arrange a place for you to live." ”
Miser, there is no reward for first place. Ye Qing slandered while reporting his name.
After reporting his name, Uncle He checked it with the roster and took a few people into the city.
Along the way, several people became Grandma Liu's Grand View Garden, completely dazzled.
There are people selling all kinds of glowing stones in the streets, and there are people who are leading wild beasts that look like tigers but not tigers, and they are selling to people.
Looking at the shops on both sides again, Ye Qing almost stared out his eyes.
An ugly ape, eight feet tall, with silver hair on its back and arms thicker than Ye Qing, was striking iron at the door of the weapons shop with a "battering ram".
In addition to being shocked, Ye Qing also discovered some details. The city is almost entirely full of people who set up stalls and shops, and it is more of a hypermarket than a city. Opening a shop here to do business, of course, is to do the business of the disciples of the Giant Spirit Sect.
It seems that if you want to cultivate, not only do you have to be talented, but you also have to have mountains of gold and silver at home for your own consumption.
Turning a street corner, Uncle He threw Ye Xidong and Ye Xibei brothers into a place called [Huishengtang] to treat their injuries. The remaining three were placed in an unnamed pavilion and told them to rest for two days and wait for five days.
The pavilion is obviously the reception place of the Giant Spirit Sect here, Ye Qing reported his name, and a young and beautiful girl led him to the wing room on the second floor with a smile.
The wing room is divided into living, cultivation, study, and a bath, which has been prepared with clean clothes and hot water, and its interior is extremely luxurious, and it is many times more high-end than the guests in Huangyu County.
After rushing over the mountains and mountains one after another, Ye Qing was already exhausted, and after taking a comfortable hot bath, he fell asleep without even eating.
The next day, Ye Qing followed Su Xiang and Yu Luoyu around the city a few times, and went to visit the two eldest nephews.
Another day passed, and a total of 170 people arrived.
Mixed in the crowd, the five-member team of Huangyu County was led by He Bo through the north gate of the city, and rode towards the Giant Spirit Sect.
On the way, He Bo enthusiastically introduced to them that the earth-shattering giant city in the clouds and mist was the foundation of the Giant Spirit Sect. The palaces on the surrounding peaks were the residences of the elders and disciples of the True Lineage, and they could not be entered without the consent of the master.
Being told like this, Ye Qing guessed that even if he couldn't pass the later assessment, he would most likely be able to obtain the qualification to stay in the Giant Spirit Sect.
Walking along the white jade avenue through seven hills, a huge mountain peak appears in sight, and on the top of the mountain peak, a mighty and majestic city is established. Even if you are far away, you can clearly see the three big characters of [Giant Spirit Sect] above the city.
"This is still the Giant Spirit Sect under the Three Immortal Sects, what kind of shocking posture should the Lifeless Dao and the Feather Sect be?" Ye Qing muttered to himself.
Going up the hill along the white jade avenue into the city, He Bo led everyone to the outside of a mansion in the west.
The plaque on the top of this mansion has written three dragons, flying phoenixes, and dancing gilt characters [Ask the Immortal Temple].
"You have to face two tests, one choice. He Bo stood under the plaque of the Immortal Academy, and looked at everyone kindly: "There are five people in the first place this time, and as a reward, these five people have the right to be exempted from the examination once." ”
He Bo glanced at Ye Qing very meaningfully, and said let's go in.
One-time exemption?
The young men who were standing in the front row, dressed in extreme wealth, immediately scanned the crowd, as if trying to figure out which five they were.
The Giant Spirit Sect is an ancient and powerful sect second only to the three sects of the Immortal Dao. Countless people want to join in with their heads sharpened, and there is no shortage of these people who are the sons of giant businessmen and eunuchs. They have paid an unimaginable price for recommending the assessment quota, and now that there are five people who have the right to be exempted from the examination once, how can these arrogant people be willing?
Ye Qing smiled in his heart, according to the number of ninety-one people admitted last year, the elimination rate of their group of people was more than one-half.
I also have the right to be exempted from the exam once, and it seems that I have a greater hope of joining the Giant Spirit Sect.
When the time comes to return to Huangyu County, don't be windy and rainy!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing stepped into the gate of the Immortal Academy, and suddenly felt in his heart that his identity and status were different.
Strictly speaking, the first level is not an assessment, but an exam.
One hundred and seventy people sat in a hall separated by screens, and each was given four examination papers, and fine pen and ink, which were to be completed in four hours.
After taking the exam for 20 years in his previous life, Ye Qing, who even tried hard to take the postgraduate entrance examination and the civil service examination, almost lost his beauty.
I don't know what to do with the two eldest nephews?
Although he had a very suspicious sloppy old man, he taught them to read and hyphenate for several years. But it is limited to literacy, and it is estimated that the right to be exempted from the examination this time will be used.
The first paper examines the Pentateuch.
This is simple, and this is what children go to a private school to learn. Ye Qing, who has been a person in two lives, although he has not been in private school for a long time, he can't stand his thick foundation. Classmates often grasp the meaning of the words and sentences that they can't understand, and Ye Qing can list several explanations at a glance.
Different from the rote memorization of the private school academy exam, the Five Classics are tested here, and all of them are tested for the interpretation of the truth.
For example, in the first test paper, half of the questions at the beginning of the paper are taken up to half of the length.
Knowing and then there is a certainty, and then being able to be quiet.
If the private school is assessed, the students must be asked to write the last two sentences silently. But here, what is asked is your self-understanding of this sentence.
This sentence is explained in the [Study of the Scriptures]: People must know the state that they should achieve, so that they can have firm aspirations. Only when the ambition is firm can we calm down and learn, without being impatient or impatient.
Here is the assessment of cultivating immortals, Ye Qing directly based on the meaning of this sentence. Set the goal as the path of cultivating immortals to solve the problem, and set his goal as the spiritual realm with great boldness.
In fact, Ye Qing also wanted to express his ambition at a higher level, but he knew the highest realm of the Dao - that is, the spiritual void.
This also led to the fact that when the papers were marked, several elderly Lingxuan Realm critics, after seeing a large number of [Wanxiang Realm] and [Tianyan Realm] that they had no hope of reaching in their lives, jumped up in anger and directly gave these young people who didn't know the height of the sky and the earth a very low score.
Ye Qing set his lifelong goal as the Spiritual Void Realm, which made several masters of the Spiritual Void Realm very happy, and his heart was as sweet as eating honey.
The second chapter examines the humanities.
To put it bluntly, it is a test of people's hearts, public morality, and etiquette.
This one is a bit exquisite, like Yanagi Ina Bird Humanistic Virtue. It must be the biggest Lao Tzu in the sky and on the ground, and Lao Tzu's eyes are the safe.
This can 100% vent the anger of the teacher who marked the papers.
If you are too cowardly, the Holy Mother is compassionate, and it will definitely not work, and the Giant Spirit Sect is not a poverty relief association.
Ye Qing tried his best to make the topic resonate with people when the three views were correct.
What is Resonance?
No one can take it away if it's mine, it's not mine, I'm too lazy to ask for it, this is called resonance.
There is a rule that the Giant Spirit Sect strictly prohibits bullying mortals and robbing mortals of their property, and it is difficult for Ye Qing to go off topic.
The third paper tests astronomy and geography.
In the field of astronomy, this Ye Qing has not studied deeply. Fortunately, there is a considerable part of the test paper, which is about the assessment of the Endless Sea.
Ye Qing made this piece extremely beautiful, and even the teacher couldn't help but praise it.
The last test paper is only one sentence.
Talk about your enlightenment teacher, the article should not be less than 800 words,
Ye Qing almost shed tears sadly, how many years, I didn't expect to be able to write another "composition" in my lifetime.
Here's the trick.
Any sect, if it wants to continue for a long time, must have enough fresh blood to join.
Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and whether a sect is strong or not depends on whether the disciples recruited can contribute to the sect wholeheartedly.
The Giant Spirit Sect has worked so hard to recruit disciples every year, doesn't it want to pull down one of the three immortal sects above and let himself go?
If there are many disciples, it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed. Ability is one thing, but if you accept those white-eyed wolves who don't respect their teachers, or the spicy hob meat, wouldn't it be a blockage for yourself?
The "grace" in the enlightenment teacher is the core of the topic.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qing picked up the pen and wrote the first sentence of the beginning.
A teacher for one day, a father for life.
