Chapter 30: The Choice of Disciples
The next day, on the square in front of Lujiazhuang, people were crowded.
Yesterday, the village chief informed that all children between the ages of 10 and 15 must be elected.
Originally, it was the dream of children to choose apprentices from the Xuanyang Sect, and they dreamed that one day they could enter the Xuanyang Sect and become a martial artist, looking forward to their success and success in the future.
But this time, the atmosphere of the Xuanyang Sect's chosen disciples became much heavier. The eyes of the children standing in the field were no longer so eager and expectant, but a kind of dead silence, a look of great reluctance.
Everyone knows that this time the Xuanyang Sect selected disciples just because they killed too many disciples in the war, and now they are just looking for some people to go back to fill up the numbers. And it is very likely that after they arrive at Xuanyang Sect, they will not even have time to learn any powerful martial arts, and they will be sent to the battlefield.
To put it simply, they may just be summoned by the Xuanyang Sect to be cannon fodder.
All the children aspire to become warriors, but they also fear death. Under the two measures, they would rather give up their ideals and stay in this village to live in peace for the rest of their lives.
However, this place belongs to the rule of the Xuanyang Sect, and the sect has already issued an order, and if they don't obey, they will be dealt with as treason, and it is not their turn to choose.
In the distance, dust and smoke billowed from the distance.
The carriage of the Xuanyang Sect came galloping. Not just one, it's three!
In the blink of an eye, three carriages came to the square, and each carriage stepped down two warriors and four disciples in charge of registering the yellow-clothed disciples.
The old village chief stepped forward, and the six warriors only said a few polite words, and then the test began directly.
Because the choice is from ten to fifteen years old, the range is much larger, and the number of people is naturally several times larger, and there are nearly 100 children in the square at this time.
Six warriors and twelve yellow-clothed disciples were divided into six groups to test the children separately.
"Well, the body is solid, and I pass the test. ”
"Yes, pass. ”
"Well, qualified. ”
“......”
The conditions for this test were extremely relaxed, and those martial artists just touched the child's body, patted their chests and clapped their hands, and passed directly if they felt solid, and they didn't even bother to test the meridians and bones.
As long as the children's body is free of disease and pain, normal and healthy, and brought back for training for a few years, even if they can't become martial artists, it is still possible to turn them into a sturdy young man.
After facing the enemy, pull a group of young soldiers to dispatch, use more pressure and less, and use crowd tactics to win.
Besides, there will be no talented people among these children, and maybe a few amazing people will be able to support the big picture.
Xuanyang Sect's selection of disciples this time is already in line with the attitude of preferring to abuse rather than lose, and there are naturally more and more children who pass the test. After a while, half of the children passed, and the twelve yellow-clothed disciples who were in charge of registering and investigating their family history were only busy sweating profusely.
The children who passed through were not happy in their eyes, and all of them had gloomy faces and listlessness, like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered in a slaughterhouse.
"Shaoyu, what should I do? I heard that everyone who goes to Xuanyang Sect will fight, and people will die if they fight, I don't want to go to Xuanyang Sect." What should I do, what if I am chosen?" The little fat man Lu Feng lined up in front of Lu Shaoyu, turned his head, and whispered to Lu Shaoyu with a sad face.
Lu Shaoyu glanced at his bloated figure, and said secretly in his heart: "It's strange to choose you." But the mouth was comforting: "Don't be afraid, I won't choose your ...... Oh, it's your turn, get on it. ”
Lu Feng sighed, trembling and reluctant to step forward, but under the gaze of the martial artist, he finally slowly moved forward, and a cold sweat was already secreting from his forehead.
The martial artist slapped Lu Feng's body a few times, and his fat was suddenly washed away, and the martial artist frowned and said coldly: "It's too fat, it's not qualified." ”
"Okay. ”
Lu Feng was relieved, cheering in his heart, of course he didn't dare to shout in front of the martial artist. He turned his head sideways and grimaced at Lu Shaoyu behind him, made a triumphant gesture, held his head high, and strode towards the other side. Immediately attracted the envious eyes of those children who successfully passed, and at this moment, it seemed that he was the qualified one.
I used to envy those who passed, but now I envy those who failed. The world changes so quickly that people are speechless.
It was Lu Shaoyu's turn next, and while he was walking towards the martial artist who was being tested, he secretly operated his Xuan Qi during the process. After being pressed by Xuanli, his little face suddenly turned pale, the muscles on his body also loosened, and the whole person became a sick look.
The martial artist glanced at Lu Shaoyu, frowned slightly, and when he reached out to touch him again, he only felt that the child in front of him was weak, as if he had been sick for many years.
"Well, the physique is too poor to be qualified. The warrior said lightly.
Lu Shaoyu had no surprise or joy on his face, turned his head and walked towards Lu Feng, and when he came closer, he smiled slightly and stuck out his tongue at the latter. Lu Feng naturally smiled back.
The test continued, and more and more people passed, but only six or seven failed. After an hour or so, the test was finally completed. Of the 105 age-appropriate children in the audience, only 11 failed.
The yellow-clothed disciples of the Xuanyang Sect had already recorded the names and other information of the qualified children, and everyone was ready to leave.
The dozen or so children who were not qualified were naturally happy, and secretly rejoiced that they had escaped.
The warriors instructed the qualified children to give them three days to prepare, and someone would come to answer them. Then he boarded the carriage and prepared to leave.
"Hey, wait, Uncle Chen, please wait a minute. ”
Suddenly, a yellow-clothed disciple stopped a martial artist.
"What's the matter?" the warrior surnamed Chen had already stepped into the carriage with half a foot, and when he heard someone calling, he stopped and turned around and asked.
"When we came, Elder Liu of the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines asked us to help him find a medicine boy by the way, how did we forget about this?" said the yellow-clothed disciple.
The martial artist surnamed Chen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, you didn't remind me, I almost forgot." Those children have already registered as outer disciples, and it will be more troublesome to transfer them around, so it is better to find one more. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the failed children, and saw that Lu Shaoyu was in front of the crowd, and his body was half a head taller than ordinary children, which was a little conspicuous. Stretching out his hand, he said, "Well, it's him, you go and talk to him." ”
"Yes. The yellow-clothed disciple walked towards Lu Shaoyu.
Their conversation was too far away for others to hear, but Lu Shaoyu himself was a martial artist in the late stage of the Houtian Realm, and he had a good ear and heard the words of the two of them clearly. When the warrior pointed at him, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
"Damn, I'm unlucky, I even stuff my teeth when I drink water!"
Lu Shaoyu smiled bitterly in his heart. Originally, I was glad that I escaped a level, but it turned out to be a turn of the peak, and I came to such a hand before leaving......
