Li Wen saw that Jiang Yuanchen and those lecturers began to talk at length, his black eyes rolled, and he changed the topic and said, "Senior brother, this is going to Jinquan Pavilion to meet Elder Sikong? (Please search, update the fastest fiction website!)"

Although Elder Sikong, as the person in charge of the outer gate, was willing to mention the junior disciples of the outer gate to add new people to the Taixu Dao Sect, but the disciples of the outer gate only needed hundreds of people in a batch of ten years, and if the current three waves of outer disciples added up to thousands of people, how could Elder Sikong be busy coming? Although he is the nominal ruler of the outer sect, he is not specially here to solve the doubts and preach for the disciples of the outer sect. Therefore, this elder opened a Jinquan Pavilion near the top of the mountain, and every day after the end of the Lingxia Rock gas extraction, a question was asked, and only those who solved this question could come forward to seek advice.

However, the elder's topics are more and more tricky, including making fires and boiling water, calligraphy and painting, drawing talismans and fighting swords, searching for tokens, and guessing riddles. Luck, skill, eyesight, wisdom, and so on are all aspects of the assessment, and the questions are different every day, and there is no disciple who can answer the questions correctly for three consecutive days.

Fortunately, the lecturers in the outer door, in addition to teaching the principles of living in the world on weekdays, also have calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, piano skills, archery, medicine and other miscellaneous arts. You don't need to be proficient in everything, as long as you can use it when you walk in the mortal world.

After all, these disciples of the outer gate, although the outstanding disciples will enter the inner gate to practice the method of immortality, there are still a group of disciples who will be sent down the mountain to enter the Taixu Taoist Temple in various places as Taoist priests to collect incense and luck for the Taixu Taoist Sect and spread the prestige of the Taoist Sect.

Taoist priest, don't look at this profession has all kinds of rules and precepts, but the qualified Taoist priest from the Taixu Taoist Sect will complete all kinds of literary and artistic skills. Sometimes you have to travel between princes and nobles, and you won't lose some literary and artistic skills, but you will lose the face of the Taoist sect. It can be said that every Taoist priest from the Taixu Taoist Sect is that kind of high intellectual, mountain, medicine, life, physiognomy, and divination cannot be said to be proficient in all, but there must be knowledge, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting can not be proficient in everything, but must be able to appreciate. In this way, the profession of Taoist priest can be framed above the various industries of the surrounding countries. Even the neighboring countries around the Taixu Dao Sect do not have a single Dao sect except for the Taixu Dao Sect, the state religion. Among the countries, there is only one kind of Taoist temple, which also makes the influence of the Taixu Taoist Sect firmly radiate to the entire Lingzhou.

That Taixu Dao Sect can control the abolition of a country, and control the mountains of a domain, the gods, the rivers, the clouds, and the rain, this is the power of one of the strongest Nine Immortal Sects in the Divine Continent. Even if those Taoist priests who came out were all failures in cultivating immortals, they would not let them rely on the name of the Taoist sect to make a fortune, but let them spread their faith for the strength of the Taoist sect, and even those who accumulated outside may have a very small chance of succeeding in building a foundation.

After Jiang Yuanchen and Li Wen came to the Jinquan Pavilion, there were already more than a dozen of them answering today's questions on the table outside the pavilion. In the pavilion, the white-haired old man with a crane face closed his eyes and waited for the pot of tea in front of him to boil.

"It's actually painting?" After Li Wen saw today's topic, he sighed: "The junior brother congratulates the senior brother first, and the junior brother should give up this topic directly." ”

Although the outer gate of Jinquan has dabbled in the teaching of those miscellaneous arts such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, these only need to be roughly dabbled, and if you want to study and specialize, it is all up to personal interest.

"The Tao is everywhere and all-encompassing" is one of the words that Elder Sikong often says, so he also uses these daily problems to encourage all the disciples to choose one or two skills to study. In the end, all kinds of skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can also "enter the Tao", which is very helpful for the understanding of the way of heaven, and it is not necessary to choose a leisure skill on the long road of longevity.

Because it is not a mandatory skill like drawing talismans and dancing swords, Li Wen is not very interested in miscellaneous arts such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, except for the ethical filial piety scriptures and Tianli Daozang that he does his daily homework.

As for Jiang Yuanchen, he felt a little relieved after seeing that today's topic was related to painting. Among the skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, his greatest specialty is painting, which occupies a great advantage for him.

In the end, it's not like the hide-and-seek problem like finding the golden talisman last time, and the kind of thing that depends on luck is not his specialty, Jiang Yuanchen said secretly.

He looked at the title on the Jinquan Pavilion in detail, and then looked at the dozen or so fellow people sitting outside the pavilion for a long time, and then Jiang Yuanchen said to Li Wen: "Although it is said to be a bamboo painting, it is not so easy to limit the time of a stick of incense, and to copy it completely according to the pot of green bamboo in the pavilion." ”

Today's topic is very simple, just copy the green bamboo placed in the Jinquan Pavilion in one stick of incense, and it will be completed. Moreover, there are a total of three places for today's question, and the selection of the first three qualified people will be considered the end.

Because "Jinquan asked" was after the "Lingxia Qi Collection", most of the outer disciples on the Lingxia Rock had not yet rushed over, and Jiang Yuanchen came from Cuiyunping earlier.

Not daring to waste time, Jiang Yuanchen stood outside the pavilion and stared at Qingzhu for a while, then found an empty seat and drew with a pen. As for Li Wen, he stood outside the pavilion and watched other people's paintings with great interest.

Although the topic this time is simple, it is just a painting of green bamboo. But there was only a pen, a piece of paper, and a shallow dish of ink on each table. In other words, there is no time to start all over again, everyone only has one chance, and if there is a slight difference, then the opportunity to start over today will be lost.

Although Li Wen has a temperament, he is not necessarily a fool, and he can reach the late stage of qi cultivation at the age of fifteen, in addition to the care of his great uncle and ancestor in the outer gate, it is also the result of his talent and intelligence.

After thinking about it secretly for a while, Li Wenxin said: "This time it is implicitly referring to the competition between the avenues, Xu Jin is not allowed to retreat, and everyone only has one chance?"

Heaven and earth should have only one life, and after death, the soul will return to heaven and earth, and the life mark will completely disappear, so the desire for immortality has all kinds of immortal questions. But even these people in the immortal sect do not say that they are truly immortal, even the Jindan monks also have the day of decay of longevity, because there is no so-called reincarnation, and the soul can only dissipate between heaven and earth.

There is a great terror between life and death, so for that glimmer of immortality, you can only walk through the door of life forever, and you can't make some mistakes.

One wrong step, the cliff will never turn over!

Li Wen wandered around for a while, careful not to disturb these fellow disciples, and Qingzhu, who looked at their calligraphy and painting, couldn't help but laugh secretly.

And regardless of whether there is anyone whose painting skills are comparable to Senior Brother Jiang, that is, some people know that they are wrong and still do not repent, and continue to paint and calligraphy on top of this.

Li Wen knew a lot of inside information from his great uncle and ancestor, such as the period of time spent in the outer gate could be counted as the scope of the Taoist sect's investigation.

If you don't read and write well, how can you practice the Taoist mantras of the Taoist Gate in the future? You can't even do this initial meditation reading, and don't expect to be able to study the Taoist scriptures in the future, and even whether you can understand the scriptures of the inner door is a problem.

Ethics and filial piety are a test of a person's nature, if someone despises human ethics and is vicious and cruel, they cannot enter the inner door to continue their practice.

And these questions of Elder Sikong are testing the ways and means of many outer disciples in dealing with the world and handling things. Is it knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and leaning towards the tiger mountains, or when it is broken, it will be cut off and retreat, or is it a desperate way to fight for a life......

"At the age of thirty, you can enter the inner door as a candidate for foundation building. "This is a nice thing to say, if your mind can't wait, even if you enter the inner door, you can be unconsciously excluded, and it will be difficult for you to become a true disciple.

While Li Wen was staring at many of his fellow disciples in a daze, many disciples of Lingxia Rock who were cultivating qi also came over in groups.

"Senior Brother Zhang?" After Li Wen saw that there was one more person beside him, he hurriedly greeted him.

Zhang Zihao, now twenty-eight years old, is a disciple of the last batch of outer disciples. Compared to those few Tianzong wizards who succeeded in building a foundation within ten years, he could only slowly wander in the realm of Qi cultivation perfection and continue to practice with Jiang Yuanchen and Li Wen.

"Senior brother is also going to give it a try?" Li Wen said with a smile.

"Nope. Zhang Zihao saw that several people had already begun to hand over their paintings to Elder Sikong for inspection, so he shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Jiang's attainments in the way of painting, as long as there is no accident, he will definitely be able to occupy a place. And there are a few others whose painting level is far above that of their brothers, so instead of hoping that they will fail, it is better to give up decisively and take this opportunity to meditate and practice qi. After Zhang Zihao finished speaking, he left freely.

After Zhang Zihao left, Elder Sikong, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his back, and nodded secretly: What an interesting character, since he understands that there is no chance this time, then why waste time here and fail? This kid has been stumbling at the outer gate for more than ten years, and this heart is much stronger than when he first arrived at the outer gate, as long as he succeeds in building the foundation in the last two years, he may not be able to meet head-on. That being the case, you might as well take care of him when the question comes out tomorrow?

Sikong Changming was severely injured by the demon tribulation decades ago, and it was difficult for his own cultivation to go further, so he asked for orders to come to the outer gate to sit down. For these outer disciples, the cornerstone of the sect in the future, he maintains a promotable attitude. When I see a disciple with a good temperament, I will modify the scope of the topic to give them a chance to improve.

Then Sikong Changming's eyes fell on Jiang Yuanchen: Is this wave of disciples the most outstanding talent? It's a pity that it is a step worse than the two seats in the previous two generations.

Among the first two waves of outer disciples, one person from each was able to break through the Heavenly Gate in the seventh year, and entered the inner gate in one breath. Compared with those two, Jiang Yuanchen's generation is a little worse, whether it is Jiang Yuanchen or Li Wen, they are not as qualified as those two.

However, compared to those two, Jiang Yuanchen's temperament is much more lenient, whether it is true temperament or hypocrisy, Jiang Xiaozi has never taken the initiative to provoke a fight with others, which is enough to make people look sideways.

"And this kid's literary homework is the first, it's much better than Lin Zixuan's rough branches, and that guy treats us elders with arrogance, but he is not as respectful as Yuanchen. Thinking of the two Xi disciples at the beginning, Sikong Changming carefully compared the three of them.

Lin Zixuan was the most outstanding of the first batch of disciples, and Yang Ling was the most outstanding of the second batch of disciples, both of whom had entered the foundation building realm in seven years. But one of the two is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, the other is studying all kinds of literature and art, one is arrogant and arrogant like a chivalrous man, and the other is polite and polite like a gentleman, which is different from Jiang Yuanchen's generous and tranquil temperament.

"These juniors have all kinds of temperaments, and they are similar to the senior brothers of our original eight generations of disciples. It's just that I don't know how many of them can be ranked as the true lineage of the ninth generation of disciples, and whose family will the name of Senior Brother Xi fall into?"
