012 Assessment
"Tai Chi two rituals give birth to four elephants, four elephants become gossip, all from the "one painting to open the sky" are dominated by fate, all creatures, fate is also destined to be bumpy, the life of this life, is the cause of the previous life, there is a cause, there will be an effect. ”
"The master taught me a lesson. ”
Hundreds of disciples dressed in cyan robes sat cross-legged on the ground in an orderly manner, their eyes closed, feeling the instantaneous transformation of the essence in their bodies and listening to the teachings.
On the high platform, Wan Shuning, the head of the Hump Forest Peak, and his wife Ning Chan sat there, looking at everyone expectantly. Liang Wenzhen, Li Hang, Du Zitong, Cao Yangkun and Wan Mei'a, the four generations of disciples of the five masters, stood respectfully behind them.
In the blink of an eye, it is time for the assessment of the introductory disciples, and after today's level, they are true Xianmen disciples, who can cultivate the Dao, absorb spiritual energy, enjoy a clear reputation, gain longevity, and establish what others can't do, and what others can't reach.
Wan Mei'a found the person in the crowd who made her a little nervous at a glance, looking at the person's full mental state, Wan Mei'a also quietly relieved, and couldn't help but come to her senses. Suddenly, the four eyes met, and a touch of crimson suddenly extended to Wan Mei Ergen, she hurriedly turned her head in a hurry, biting her lip gently, and she still couldn't understand why she was so concerned about others.
"Hmph, the toad wants to eat swan meat. Zhao Yunfei looked at the affectionate attitude of the two, squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Ming, and a contemptuous word popped out between his teeth.
Shen Ming lowered his head in shame, "Yes, she is a disciple of the Immortal Sect with a profound Dao and a delicate appearance, perfect as jade, and I am just a toad who is ridiculed. Shen Ming thought self-deprecatingly.
On that day, Shen Ming's spirit was in a coma, and Wan Mei'a arrived in time and invited the first Wan Shuning, which pulled Shen Ming back from the Ghost Gate, but it also laid a deep root of the disease.
"This son's fate with Taoism has ended. ”
Wan Shuning's words pushed Shen Ming into the abyss, his meridians were chaotic, and it was difficult to condense the essence in his body, who knew that Zhao Yunfei's understatement palm actually ruined Shen Ming's lifelong path.
Thinking of the hideous-looking young man in Chang'an City, thinking of the bald grandfather who was still imprisoned in Wutai Mountain, and then looking at his current appearance of poor donkey skills, Shen Ming couldn't even mention his hatred for Zhao Yunfei.
"Idiot, don't get distracted, listen carefully. The landlord stretched out his finger and flicked it gently, and a bundle of true qi hit Shen Ming's back, looking at this classmate friend who treated him like a relative, Shen Ming grinned apologetically, and listened attentively to the class.
It was a night sky full of stars, a meteor streaked by, disappearing into the endless sky, and two teenagers sat back to back on the grass, listening to each other's thoughts.
"Idiot, don't rob my woman, senior sister is destined to be mine. The landlord poked Shen Ming behind him with his arm, and his words matched his actions, and the threat was very strong.
Shen Ming shrugged helplessly, raised his head and looked up at the starry sky.
"Father, Ming'er has really worked hard, have you seen it?" Shen Ming felt a little melancholy in his heart, and then thought of the bald grandfather under the same sky, and couldn't help but sour his nose.
"Landlord, you must devote yourself to studying, and when you come to the Great Road, you can also go to heaven and earth and do anything. Shen Ming said with a little choked up, and he was full of envy in his heart.
The treasure landlord turned around, "Smack." A slap on Shen Ming's head, looking at Shen Ming's innocent eyes rubbing his head, the landlord said angrily, "You idiot, you and I have a deep brotherly relationship, and when the master is powerful, he will definitely help you get justice." ”
In fact, the landlord of the treasure originally hoped that when he came to this immortal sect, he could ask for a warm stomach, but listening to Shen Ming's sad life experience, he suddenly remembered the pride of the heroic figure who drew his sword to help, and suddenly made a heavy oath. At this point, the landlord of the treasure has changed his depraved and lazy temperament in the past, and with patience and domineering talent, he has entered the period of acceptance like Jin Zicheng and Zhao Yunfei, and often guides Shen Ming, cheering for Shen Ming all the time.
This made Shen Ming very moved, but Shen Ming didn't know what to do, this was just the whim of the treasure landlord because he was young and vigorous, and the six gods had no owner, and even the treasure landlord himself didn't know how long the treasure landlord could last.
Besides, Zhao Yunfei, when he was in the palace in the past, all the beautiful dancing girls had been surrendered to his crotch. When he came to Humplin Peak, he saw Wan Mei's appearance like a fairy, and he had secretly included her in his **, but he didn't want to, seeing Shen Ming and this senior sister often frowning, which made Zhao Yunfei hateful, no one would have thought that it was actually the result of Zhao Yunfei's intention.
At first, Wan Shuning and his wife were suspicious of the prince of the Central Plains, but when they saw Zhao Yunfei's remorseful expression and innocent face kneeling on the ground, they could only sigh that God was manipulating, and they just gave up with a little punishment for Zhao Yunfei, and they never thought that Zhao Yunfei was such a scheming and calm teenager.
Zhao Yunfei's approach turned out to be very satisfactory to him, but it backfired, the iceberg beauty Wan Mei'a was even more meticulous to Shen Ming, seeing Shen Ming's mental malaise and lack of energy, Wan Mei'a often carried everyone on her back, grabbed Shen Ming's wrist and pinched it hard. After struggling, Shen Ming always had a feeling of swallowing mountains and rivers, and then he knew that it was his senior sister who gave him the essence. Over time, this cold and glamorous senior sister would often appear in Shen Ming's mind, as if she was there all the time.
Zhao Yunfei often gritted his teeth when he saw this scene, hating it incomparably. And Zhao Lang, Chi Juyi and others, who were obedient to Zhao Yunfei, would do something to Shen Ming coldly, and then even spoke ill of each other and even secretly used exercises to injure him.
"Respect the Tao and virtue, the unity of heaven and man. Respect the heavens and ancestors, and visit the Tao. ”
"Heaven and man are inducted, and Heaven bears the burden. Kindness is like water, and weakness is indisputable. ”
"Quiet and lacking desire, natural inaction. My life is mine, not heaven and earth. ”
"Loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, benevolence and integrity. Immortal noble life, help the world. ”
Everyone sat there, all of them felt extraordinary, and when the aftermath fell, everyone slowly opened their eyes as if they saw another world, and a hundred disciples knelt on the ground one after another, "Obey Master's Church." ”
Wan Shuning showed a satisfied smile from time to time, knowing that this was the first time in a thousand years that the Wugang faction and even many Xianmen sects had recruited disciples, in addition to the originator of the mountain, Kong Ti Zhenren, only Wan Shuning and other third-generation Wugang disciples had taught so many disciples, how could he not be happy.
"As a teacher, I hope that you can all enter our faction, so that the Taoist essence of my sect can be passed down from generation to generation. ”
Next is the entrance assessment, for several disciples who have already entered the acceptance period, the position of this immortal sect disciple is already within reach.
Shen Ming was very nervous, there were only two levels in the assessment, the first level was to cut bamboo, and it was necessary to cut off a Buddha's belly bamboo within the time of three incense sticks, and Shen Ming could also use his strong and strong advantages to pass the test smoothly, but the second level required Taoism, and it was the first Wan Shuning to personally invigilate the exam, which made the landlord who wanted to help him helpless.
"Shen Ming, come on, come on. The treasure landlord, who had already completed the assessment, stood aside, cheering for Shen Ming with his throat.
The two pillars of incense have passed halfway, and everyone has already stood aside respectfully, waiting for the next round of assessment, but Shen Ming is still sweating there. Cutting bamboo is a physical test, originally Shen Ming could easily cut two trees within three incense sticks, he never thought that since that injury, he was often physically exhausted, and in today's assessment, he was out of breath after not cutting a few times.
"This kid is firm-minded, but it's a pity that his qualifications are too poor, and there was such an accident, hey. Ning Chan stood beside Wan Shuning and whispered, with a little regret in her words.
Wan Mei'a frowned, pursed her lips, and stared at Shen Ming directly, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.
"If you had the perseverance, you wouldn't be as bad as you are today. Ning Chan glared angrily at Liang Wenzhen and the others behind her, unpleasant, and her tone revealed domineering and majesty.
The crowd who was standing on tiptoe and watching the bustle heard Ning Chan's reprimand, and hurriedly lowered their heads, "What the master taught me is." ”
"Shen Ming, come on!" Seeing that the hour was approaching, the treasure landlord shouted hoarsely.
"Come on, Shen Ming. Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Shen Ming looked around and saw that it was Jinzi City, which rarely spoke on weekdays but had excellent qualifications. Shen Ming didn't dare to think that among these many disciples, in addition to the treasure landlord, there was also someone who would also care about him, and a warm current suddenly flowed through his heart, and he cut harder.
The sandalwood has burned out unconsciously, Shen Ming did not pass the assessment, but the small saber in his hand is still waving, sweat through his cheeks and falling to the ground through his pores, Shen Ming seems to have seen the way down the mountain, he doesn't dare to accept the facts, he bites his lip and continues to cut hard, at this moment, he only hopes that he can do better.
The treasure landlord lay on the ground, slapping the grass with a sonorous and powerful slap with the sound of the blade hitting the Buddha's belly bamboo, shouting.
Smelling the stench wafting from the mouth of the treasure landlord, Zhao Yunfei and others, who had a deep contradiction with Shen Ming and the treasure landlord, hurriedly covered their noses and mouths, and shouted loudly, "What are you shouting, it stinks to death, there is a waste, and the hour has passed." ”
In an instant, as soon as Zhao Yunfei's voice fell, he suddenly fell to the ground and rolled around, holding his stomach and wailing, "Whoever hits me, whoever hits me, ouch, help." ”
This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Wan Shuning and the others also hurriedly flew down. The treasure landlord is also worthy of being an old fritter who has been working alone in the rivers and lakes for many years, watching everyone divert their attention, he hurriedly ran to Shen Ming, ready to grab the saber and help him cut twice, who knew that kindness was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, Shen Ming used his silence to refuse the treasure landlord.
"Nerd, nerd, nerd. The landlord scolded quietly, as if he hated iron but not steel.
Wan Shuning pinched Zhao Yunfei's wrist with one finger, probing the pulse, "Huh?" didn't find anything unusual, and then Zhao Yunfei jumped up with a ruddy face, looking at everyone looking at him blankly, and he was a little confused, looking at Wan Shuning and hurriedly knelt down again, "Disciple, disciple!" Zhao Yunfei himself was also very puzzled, his brother didn't have a son for a long time.
"It's okay, let's continue the assessment. ”
Zhao Yunfei kept rubbing his stomach and whispered to himself, "It's strange, there was obviously a piercing pain just now, but something suddenly disappeared again." Then he looked at Shen Ming and the treasure landlord with evil eyes, "It must be you two little bastards who are secretly playing tricks." "Subtly, Zhao Yunfei has recognized Shen Ming, a handicapped person who has no power to cut bamboo, as an imaginary enemy.
"Squeak. Looking at the fallen Buddha's belly bamboo, the most powerful trace of the chicken in Shen Ming's body also quietly passed, standing there like a thread, his handsome face and pale face were all distressing.
Wan Shuning nodded lightly and walked past Shen Ming with his hands behind his back.
Shen Ming lowered his head a little ashamedly, but he was happy in his heart, and he was refreshed, as if he had received a great favor, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Wan Shuning's slowly departing back, "This is the greatest affirmation of me."
Suddenly, a familiar smell.
Feeling the essence slowly coming from his body, Shen Ming lowered his head in shame and whispered, "Senior sister." ”
Everyone walked out of the bamboo forest one after another, calmly preparing for the next round of assessment, and Shen Ming also successfully passed the 'cutting bamboo' level with Wan Shuning's tacit consent.
Before everyone went far, they saw a petite figure of white velvet, poking his head out of the forest and staring eagerly at Shen Ming's back, his eyes were heartbreaking. Suddenly, two sharp red lights shot out of his eyes, and he couldn't help but be silent.
"Ouch, oh yo, whoever hits me, whoever hits me!"
