Chapter 2: The Chosen One
After the old man in the green robe finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, and asked again in a deep voice:
"I heard that there are several Chosen Sons among the new disciples who have joined the sect this time, let them come out first and I will meet them. ”
Behind the old man, an old servant looked like a follower, wearing a black robe, and took a few steps forward with a stiff back, and raised his hand to take out a booklet as if he was juggling, opened the book and glanced at it, before he slowly spoke, and said in a low and old voice:
"There are more than 4,200 disciples who have been selected to enter the sect from all over the country this time, and more than 3,400 have too low qualifications for the initial maintenance practice, and there are still 843 people standing here at this time, and eight of them are the chosen ones who took the initiative to stand up. ”
The old servant's voice in the black robe fell, and no one walked out of the crowd for a long time, and the old servant was not impatient, and spoke slowly again:
"The so-called Chosen One is the one who came here for various unexpected reasons, and some of them are not even sure what they are here. ”
Zhu Jiu listened to the old servant's explanation, and hesitated to think:
"So there is one of the Chosen Sons, hey! I originally heard the name of the Chosen Son, thinking that it was some kind of super-qualified bull fork god, but I didn't think that the real meaning was that if I arrived here because of an accident, I would be the Chosen One. The people of this world are really superstitious, and those who come for unknown reasons are called the Chosen One, thinking that God has chosen them for them?"
Zhu Jiu stood in the middle of the crowd, watching the six young boys and girls reluctantly and cringely walk out of the crowd, and couldn't help but think in his heart:
"This place is very strange, according to the memories I devoured, this world should be a place similar to ancient China, but listening to the words of the two teenagers before, and then looking at the old man sitting in front of him, he can drive away the ability to detain ghosts, is it that Lao Tzu is full of luck, this is actually a world that can cultivate immortals and learn demons?"
Zhu Jiu's heart turned over with a thousand thoughts, but his steps were not slow, and he walked out of the crowd like the other six teenagers, he used his thin body to use the bodies of the people in front of him to form a certain shield for himself, and vaguely formed a simple protection for himself.
The old servant glanced at Zhu Jiu, and saw that there were seven young men, five men and two women, and one less, and looked at the book in his hand again, then turned around and retreated, and returned to stand behind the green-robed old man again.
Zhu Jiu thought that big people usually don't like other people's direct gaze, so he lowered his head slightly, but his eyelids were desperately raised, and he secretly observed the green-robed old man sitting on the chair in front of him, and he didn't want the green-robed old man's eyes to be looking at them, just colliding with Zhu Jiu's peeking gaze.
Although Zhu Jiu was bold and reckless, and because he had practiced the ancient art of chasing corpses in Xiangxi before his reincarnation, he did not lose his sanity in this terrifying place like a ghost.
But the unprepared sudden encounter with the eyes of the green-robed old man still startled him, his heart beat wildly, and his back was cold. It's just because of the weird and sharp gaze of this green-robed old man, the cold and yin owl is really the only thing I have seen in more than 20 years of Zhu Jiu's previous life and more than a day after he woke up after reincarnation!
The green-robed old man's eyes were like lightning, and he slowly looked at the faces of the seven teenagers in front of him, and every young man who was seen would obviously feel the coldness all over his body, as if the deepest secret of his soul could not be hidden, and he was seen through by this gloomy old monster.
After reading it, the old man slowly closed his eyes, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice:
"How did you come to my Divine Sect, tell me in detail. ”
Zhu Jiu stood at the back of the least, and then said the last one, hearing the trembling voices of the six teenagers in front of him to introduce the reason for this, he thought in his heart:
"The reason why these turtles are here is really weird, and they were even swept by a gust of wind, hey!"
After the introduction of the six young men and women in front of him, when it was Zhu Jiu's turn, this guy took a step forward helplessly, according to the original vague memory of the body in his brain, organized his language slightly, and said concisely, clearly and respectfully:
"I was seriously ill, and according to custom, I was buried in a great river to pray for blessings, and then I fainted and died, and when I woke up, I was taken to this great hall by my attendants. The surname is Zhu, the name is nine, the word Tianhe, and he is ten years old this year. ”
The strange and smooth crisp voice slowly echoed and spread in the main hall, attracting the slight sideways glances of several attachés behind the old man.
Every time a teenager introduces himself, the old servant in the black robe just now will flip through the book in his hand, check it in detail, and correspond one by one, and when it comes to Zhu Jiu, it is no exception, and when Zhu Jiu's voice falls, the old servant added in a deep voice:
"Ancestor, this kid's origin is a little strange, he was discovered by the river patrol spirit beast Swallowing Sky Turtle when he was drifting in the Xianyuan River above our abyss, and was sent to the sect. According to the rules, within five years of the Apprenticeship Ceremony, mortals who enter the realm of my God Sect for any reason will have a chance to participate in the Talent Selection Ceremony, so they will stand here. Originally, there was also a chosen son, who had been crying and being unbearable, and had been killed. ”
Zhu Jiu was also surprised when he heard this, it turned out that in the fragmentary picture that vaguely flashed in his mind, the big river that buried this body was called Xianyuan River, and he was actually sent by an old turtle? This is really strange and interesting!
Well, when he was discovered by an old turtle, his soul should have just been thrown into this body, taking over the control of the body, and vaguely remembered that the original soul of this body had not completely dissipated at that time, and seemed to have been swallowed and absorbed by himself.
In any case, the process of coming here can be regarded as barely connected.
The green-robed old man glanced at Zhu Jiu, and then asked the old servant behind him in a deep voice:
"Have these seven people been tested for their physical qualifications?"
The old servant bent down slightly and replied respectfully:
"In terms of soul, it will take a while to find out, blood samples have been collected and tested on the body, and those who remain are qualified for physical cultivation. Only he is the weakest and has just passed, but his potential is not bad. ”
said and pointed at Zhu Jiu, Zhu Jiu saw the old man pointing at him, he was shocked in his heart, and muttered secretly:
"Lao Tzu is really unlucky, the physical fitness of the resurrection, and he won the penultimate first in the seven-person competition that stood up, even the two girls are not as good, it is really unfavorable. For the sake of his own life, it seems that the following assessment will have to work harder. ”
The green-robed old man glanced at Zhu Jiu with the old servant's point, waved his hand, and commanded:
"Let's start the next assessment!"
Behind the old man, more than a dozen entourages stepped forward quickly, came to many young men and women, stretched out their fingers, and there were hundreds of boxy black boxes on the ground of the main hall.
Among the more than ten attachés, a middle-aged woman with a strange white face and a hint of blue glow in her hair was the first to speak, pointing to hundreds of boxes on the ground and saying to many young men and women:
"These boxes contain the relevant equipment of your second round of assessment, including important items such as talismans and jade slips, and the use method is clearly written in the box, whether you can quickly comprehend it is also one of your assessment items. From the moment you get this box, the assessment is the beginning, I hope you will hurry up. Now each person comes up and picks up a box. ”
When Zhu Jiu heard that the assessment had begun, his face turned pale, he cheered up, took a box with a solemn expression, came to a corner of the hall alone, sat down on the ground, and opened the box buckle.
The box is paved with a black cloth, and in the middle is a white thumb-sized jade with a faint white glow, which should be Fu Zheng Yujian.
Zhu Jiu didn't pick up the jade slip like everyone else, but calmly checked the rest of the items in the box.
Inside the box were a two-finger-sized piece of patina metal, a piece of paper explaining the item, and a blood-colored brush.
Zhu Jiu carefully read the introduction on the description of the item, stretched out his hand and picked up the jade slip in the middle of the box very firmly, gently pasted the jade slip in the center of his forehead according to the introduction on the piece of paper, closed his eyes to clear distracting thoughts, and tried to receive the mysterious content in the jade slip.
