Chapter 141 Variables
Li Shuyang stood under the mountain gate with a smile on his face all the time, and every child who could pass the second level consciously came to kowtow to him.
Li Shuyang, who is over 600 years old, doesn't care about these children's big gifts, he can fully bear it. The mood seems to be pretty good, and sometimes I will reach out and pat the child's head gently to show kindness.
"You can climb the mountain after repairing, and you will pass the test if you climb to the Hammer Pavilion in three hours. Someone will pick you up if you have not arrived before the deadline. From now on, you must practice hard when you enter the outer door. There is hope that you will be promoted to the inner door in the future. Old man Haven't climbed the thousand ladders before, haven't you practiced the same thing so far? So, relax, don't be nervous. Go, go"
Li Shuyang was encouraging these children, he was kind-hearted, otherwise those guys wouldn't have encouraged him to make such a move this time.
"I haven't seen Sanguan for many years, hehe, they are all good boys." Li Shuyang couldn't help feeling emotional in his heart. It was as if the day I got started was just yesterday, but when I turned around, it was a sea of change.
Back then, Li Shuyang really failed to pass the 3,000-level steps. It took a while before he could enter the inner door directly. Instead, he struggled through the outer door for ten years before entering the Fifth Level of Concentrating God. door, and at that time he was considered the bottom of the inner door. However, his stamina is solid. He was only at the fifth level when others reached the state of concentrating the spirit, and when he reached the ninth level, others were still spinning around and couldn't break through. However, he kept moving forward slowly, kicking open the gate of the Yuandan state, Afterwards, he continued straight into the Xuanhai without stopping.
After entering Xuanhai, Li Shuyang wrote the small town "Pingyang" where he was born as his nickname, with obvious intentions, just to remind himself not to forget his origin.
Six hundred years have passed by, and there are very few things that can make Li Shuyang lively. He and the other four directors and elders practice in their respective houses throughout the year, and don't ask about trivial matters. It is the suzerain who makes the decision in the mountains, and the five of them are lucky. The Guishan Seminary has been passed down from generation to generation to this day.
However, things are impermanent, and there are always variables that jump out and disturb you. A few months ago, the Great Elder woke up from his latent cultivation, saying that his thoughts were blocked, so he opened the altar and calculated the hexagram.
The Great Elder has always boasted that "hexagrams are all inaccurate", obsessed with hexagrams, sometimes accurate and sometimes not accurate, if someone else says that he typed a hexagram and then blah blah, maybe no one cares, but others are old. He has a high status and strong strength, and he is also the oldest among the five elders on the board, so he can't stand up to him.
And Li Shuyang was the last among the five council elders and the youngest, so he was pushed out to find out. Otherwise, with his status in Mount Guishan Seminary, how can he attend the recruitment of new disciples?
However, the reason for this was not announced by the Great Elder in the mountain gate, and only the five elders and suzerain knew about it. It is estimated that even the Great Elder himself is just making up for the omission with the idea of "preferring to believe it", and the seriousness is enough.
For a long time, Li Shuyang was a little emotional, but he didn't see anyone worthy of his attention.
"Beasts hidden in the clouds", the Great Elder explained, "clouds" refers to the clouds on Guishan Mountain, and Guishan Mountain is not high, and only early winter will appear in the four seasons of the year, and the time period is very short, that is, from October to November This paragraph in the middle of the month. And the major event that can affect the mountain gate during this period of time is to open the mountain gate to recruit new disciples, so the elder said with certainty that the time when the hexagram will be played is the ten-day recruitment season.
Of course, Li Shuyang didn't believe this hasty explanation at all, but he was only 600 years old, young, and his right to speak was worrying.
As for the animal word in "Beasts Hidden in the Cloud", the Great Elder's understanding is: But the beast is also the minion of the sect to protect the mountain. Wouldn't the word "cloud" in front of it just fit the characteristics of the recruitment season? So, Shuyang, you just have to work hard.
As for the second half of the sentence "fortune and misfortune", there is no way to explain it, and both pros and cons can make sense. Therefore, the last hexagram will look very unreliable.
By the afternoon, a total of eight children had sparked the "three flashes of light" on the black wall, but so far no notification from the mountain has passed the third level. Those who wanted to climb the mountain before came could not climb to the hammer sound pavilion within the time limit.
The third level is indeed difficult, otherwise there would be no preferential treatment of "those who pass the level directly enter the inner door". You must know that there is a word difference between inside and outside, but the ratio of resources is very different. Li Shuyang has stayed in the outer sect before, and he is very clear about the difference in realm that these differences will bring in the initial stage of practice.
Age, talent, and perseverance are more difficult than the other, but only the most difficult one can be made up for the day after tomorrow. Li Shuyang is a typical congenital personality lacking in perseverance, and he was tempered by hard work the day after tomorrow.
Thoughts were a little chaotic, Li Shuyang gathered himself together, he heard exclamations in his ears and followed the sound, but there was a change when the first day of work was about to be over.
It was a 12-year-old daughter of casual cultivators, four stripes appeared on the black wall, and the stripes were clear!
"Okay! Little baby is fine! Take a rest, adjust your state and try the third test. If you can pass, I will ask my disciples to name you."
Li Shuyang expressed his opinion on the spot. It's rare for him to come to the recruitment season. He was originally encouraged to come here. How can he be worthy of himself if he doesn't get some benefits?
Immediately the scene exploded.
What is the status of Pingyang real person? That's the boss who suppressed the luck of a first-class sect! Although Master Pingyang has no plans to directly accept apprentices, it is extremely rare luck to sit down and accept disciples. Others are so envious that their eyes are red, and the girl's father is excited and bows loudly. .
"You don't need to thank me. Whether the baby will succeed or not depends on her own luck. Well, go ahead and do your best."
Talents that can be shown in all directions, even if they go to the outer school, there is a high probability that they will be able to stand out and be selected into the inner school, but the potential is lower.
"Could it be that this girl is the "beast" that the elder said? Although it's rare to see things floating around, it's not uncommon. There are quite a few in the door. Hey, let's take a look."
His mind turned around, and Li Shuyang started to think about it again, so he wouldn't just stare at the people in front of the mountain gate obediently, and his thoughts wandered for miles around with a flick of his mind.
The end of the first day.
A total of nine people were taken away by the Guishan Seminary, eight of whom were three-timers and one four-timer. And the girl who appeared in the end really climbed into the Hammer Pavilion halfway up the mountain a little before the time limit, and then jumped into the inner door, pulling away from the other eight people in an instant.
Xuanqingwei's men stood on duty all day and at night they still couldn't relax.
The people from Mount Guishan Seminary have returned to the mountain, and there are still a large number of people gathered at the foot of the mountain. They have already started to set up tents in order to let their children pass through the barrier as soon as possible the next day. You can get through the night by leaning on it, but if you don't want to light a fire, can you sleep comfortably by lying on the side?
There were too many people, and with the fact that two murder cases were pending, none of Xuan Qingwei dared to take it lightly.
There is only one person who always looks sideways at the black wall that was placed under the mountain gate and has not been taken away.
