0044_Entrance exam once every ten years

Yunxiazong holds an entrance examination every ten years.Oh, the official name is the New Disciple Selection Ceremony, which is a very grand scene, not inferior to the New Year in the mortal world.

The main examination room for the selection conference was set at the top of the largest mountain in the main peak group, but if you want to take this exam, you must first complete the pre-requisite task, which is to climb the mountain and walk from the foot of the mountain to the examination room.

In fact, the pre-task is the round with the most people, and it is also the disciple selection project that most sects will set up, so many ordinary people think that the selection content of the sect is mountain climbing, and then according to the grade of the sect, the mountain climbing process will be added. Different mobs, such as phantom refining heart or something.

The criteria for passing the mountain climbing project are actually very simple. It is just a test of whether you are firm enough and whether you have bad intentions for Yunxiazong.

Whether there is a bad intention is to detect evil thoughts, but it is a popular version of the detection method, which is only useful for people at the foundation building stage and below.Of course, if you want to enter the Yunxia Sect halfway through the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is not the way of the freshmen's exam, which has a more stringent test process.

As for whether you are firm or not, it is not easy to quantify. The standard adopted by Yunxiazong is that you either climb to the top on foot within a day, or you crack the level set in the middle and are constantly teleported to the top.The former tests physical fitness, while the latter tests non-physical qualities such as IQ, understanding, and luck.

But generally speaking, the candidates pass the level with a combination of the two, cracked some levels, and climbed some mountain roads on foot.Those who only follow the path of recklessness or solving puzzles may not be able to have one in ten selections.

Big Brother is the latest successful example of purely solving puzzles.As for the pure reckless success, the latest example is now in our Jianxiu Peak, and the penultimate example is now also in our Jianxiu Peak.

I really don't want Heiben Peak, but looking at the history of Yunxia Sect, [-]% of the beginners who succeeded in climbing mountains by pure brute force entered Jianxiu Peak, while only less than [-]% of those who succeeded in purely solving puzzles successfully entered Jianxiu Peak. It also includes sword cultivators who stayed on the main peak because they were the heir to the sect or one of the candidates for the heir to the sect, like the elder brother.This seems to explain the overall IQ level of the sword cultivator...

Looking at the overall level, I feel at ease for myself. With my average IQ, I should still be able to go on the road of sword cultivation.

I was five years old when I took the entrance exam last time, and I was immersed in the vast jade slips left by my mother, but I was still attracted by the grand occasion of the entrance exam, and followed the twins to watch the scene.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a lot of voices.Those who send their children to take the exam, those who come alone, those who sell information about the exam, those who sell food and daily necessities, and those who come to cut off from others, and those who fight because of arguing which peak is better before the exam, beating gongs and drums Those who cheer for the candidates, those who sell lucky charms...

But compared to the excitement at the foot of the mountain, the climbing process is very boring.From a spectator's point of view, the first short section of the road continued a little bit of lively atmosphere.Either walking around sweating profusely, or standing still (the level is being cracked in consciousness), or spinning around in a small area (trapped in the phantom array), or the spirit beast blocked the way and was helpless ...a lot of variety.

Since the same illusion will project different forms in the consciousness of different people, even a few people who come together will all act alone after a few checkpoints.Yunxiazong’s mountain climbing project doesn’t really involve testing the ability of the team, which may be tested in the official exam later. Mountain climbing basically only depends on individual potential—the formal exam may not be tested, because monks do not require teamwork ability. That's just an option.

At the beginning of the climb, we could still see some conflicts and cooperation, but after one-tenth of the journey, there was only one person left to move forward in silence.The mountain road is very long, and there are many people who are frightened by the checkpoint or have to quit because of injuries, so the fewer people go up, the cloud cloud sect specially uses formations to shield the surrounding scenery from the eyes of the candidates, so that except for entering the illusion For a while, all the candidates can see is monotony, and the candidates seen by the bystanders gradually become numb.

Oh, this woodenness mainly refers to expressions.When it seems that there is only one person left in the world, there are really not so many emotions to show, because there is no object to show at all.

By the way, speaking of this, I remembered that before my death in my previous life and before my birth in this life, when I was floating in an unknown world in unknown form, I was also so numb.No sorrow, no joy, no anger, no fear.It seems that I have experienced a lot, and I don’t seem to pay attention to anything, so what remains in my memory is only vagueness—although this blurriness may also be because my golden finger was invalid due to the incompleteness of my soul at that time.

At that time, my sister took me to watch the mountain climbing for a few hours, and then I went back to the top of the mountain and continued to look in the mirror for a while. Finally, I was bored and went to see my mother’s jade slip.

In the world of self-cultivation, the mirror is a particularly multifunctional prop.It can communicate, monitor, assist in teleportation, deploy arrays, ask minds, and so on.In the exam, of course, its monitoring function is mainly used.

When the candidates are climbing the mountain, the examiner on the top of the mountain will hang the same number of large mirrors as the candidates. One mirror monitors all the actions of a candidate. There are no obstacles on the way, and the formation will replenish the physical strength of the people going down the mountain, making them feel more relaxed physically and mentally as they go down the mountain-the corresponding mirrors will be removed, and when there are only a few dozen mirrors left, the examiner We will arrange them so that everyone can easily see each mirror.

There are two ways to use mirrors to realize monitoring. The first is the Yunxiazong entry mountain climbing test. The entire road is covered with formations. The formations already contain elements of random surveillance. Then use What kind of mirror and what kind of cultivation is the person using the mirror, the conditions are very loose.

Another way is that there is no arrangement for the place or person to be monitored, and it depends solely on the mirror and the mirror holder's own ability.The great masters of the Mahayana period can use Lingbao to watch almost anything that happens anywhere in the world.The lower the cultivation level and the worse the mirror, the less places you can see, and the easier it is to be blocked by the shielding circles everywhere.

The entire sect of Yunxia Sect is equipped with shielding circles and defensive circles. It is very difficult for other monks to see what is happening in the Yunxia Sect's territory.Even if they break through the Yunxiazong's shielding defense, the alarm will be triggered, allowing the Yunxiazong to arrest the intruder.And in addition to the formation guard, there are more humanoid sensors. For example, the elders in the transformation stage, unless they are peeping in the Mahayana stage, they can be noticed immediately.

I have always thought that the function of the mirror is very useful. When I have a little cultivation, I can use it to view the world. There are various defensive shields in the cultivation world, so let’s not look at it. But the mortal world is basically open. Especially for tourist attractions, it is enough to find a few big mirrors to surround yourself.

Just buy that kind of special sightseeing mirror. Even if you touch the formation by mistake when using this magic weapon to enjoy the scenery, it will automatically go around immediately at the moment of mistaken touch. The short-term weak touch can be tolerated by the formation. It will not be misunderstood as malicious.

The only more troublesome thing is that even if it is an entertainment sightseeing mirror, how long you can see and how far you can see is also related to your cultivation base.The world of self-cultivation is really too weak for the strong, if the cultivation level is not good enough, even entertainment rights will be greatly reduced.

My brother said to this: "Why don't you just go there in person? It doesn't take much time for Yu Jian to go back and forth."

Me: No, you don't understand the pursuit of nerds.This is not a matter of time, it is the principle of not going out.Besides, when I practice enough to travel around the world with Yujian casually, I will be able to use the sightseeing mirror to enjoy the beautiful scenery long ago.

I couldn't finish the last selection meeting. This was mainly because the selection process of Yunxia Sect was too tiring and tactical. It was dark when the pre-mountain climbing event ended, and the candidates were not allowed to rest, and the formal examination began immediately.

Even though some candidates are stunned that 'climbing a mountain is not considered an official test', basically no one who can pass this pre-project will panic because of this accident, even if their condition is not very good, they will Brace yourselves for the official exam.

I can't do it.

I was only five years old that year, and I was still learning the common sense of the cultivation world. Apart from learning some basic sword moves from my father and brothers and sisters to strengthen my body, and memorizing some introductory formulas to calm my mind, I didn't even start to practice. It is the physical fitness of an ordinary five-year-old healthy child who needs enough sleep.

I really can't afford to watch the all-night exams of the candidates, even if I am very curious, my upper and lower eyelids are firm and I will go.In the end, all I could do was look at the records, which were frankly abridged.The content of the exam has been summed up in one stroke, and the emphasis is on highlighting the magnificent version of Yunxiazong.

The whole promotional film.

Give this Xiaoyu Jian, which is only enough to hold a 5-minute promotional video, to my big brother and say: "The full version can't be leaked casually. The content of the exam has been made public, and it will be difficult to come up with exam questions in the future. The elders don't have the patience to do it every ten years. Just refresh all the exam questions once."

Wait, wait a minute, am I not considered a disciple of Yunxia Sect?What is 'casual flow out'?

Eldest brother: "Actually, strictly speaking, you are not considered a disciple of the Yunxia Sect. You are only the son of Elder Pei, a predetermined disciple in the future. It doesn't mean that you are considered a disciple of the Yunxia Sect because you were born in the Yunxia Sect. You can definitely pass the test, but you have to pass the test formally. Do you understand my explanation, kid?"

Me who hasn't taken the test yet: "..."

"Also," said the elder brother, "even if you are a formal disciple, although everyone can watch the exam process, not everyone is eligible to get the full version of the record. Of course I can, and of course Elder Pei Yes, but your brothers and sisters can’t, and of course you can’t, there is also a problem of authority. Ah, is it a bit complicated to say that?” He patted my head, “It’s okay, as long as you know that you are not enough Grid is fine."

Good for your size!Get your claws off my head!
