Chapter 111 Public selection of disciples, persistence and perseverance! [44, please subscribe]
December 25
Five days before the end of the New Year, the Jingyang River outside Pingzhou Prefecture was already crowded with people.
Today is the day when thirty-two sects, large and small, openly select their disciples twice a year. All the families with children over twelve and under sixteen years old in the surrounding area all arrived here early, and everyone’s face was covered with expressions.
Full of hope.
Because this will be the best shortcut for many people to change their lives and escape from the sea of suffering.
A large number of observation decks have been set up by the river. Many sect deacons and disciples, various powerful and powerful families, and even the master of the palace have sent people over.
There are hundreds of large iron ropes as thick as arms hanging across the thousand-foot-wide river!
"This is the assessment item for today's public selection of disciples." On a hillside in the distance, Xu Youran softly introduced to Wei Han: "Those who want to join the major sects, as long as they meet the age requirements, no matter how young you are,
Whether you are a beggar or a cripple, as long as you have the ability to climb over, there will always be a sect willing to take you in!"
"It doesn't matter if you can't climb over. The deacons of each major sect will use their eyesight and experience to distinguish the age, strength, physical condition, willpower and other comprehensive factors of each examinee, and finally decide whether to accept it or not."
"This kind of assessment has no rules or restrictions, or even standards. It all depends on the preferences of the deacons of each major sect. It is also a matter of luck."
"Um!"
"Zhou Yi? Wang Pengfei? Li Liangji?"
He has personally taught each of these boys and girls, and is very familiar with them. He can recognize them at a glance among the chaotic crowd.
Gradually, the children in Shantang also began to climb.
They were very upbeat, and every one of them gritted their teeth and crawled forward!
Ordinary martial arts talent is elusive and cannot be measured. It can only be measured by perseverance and physical fitness. This is also the experience passed down by various major sects for hundreds of years.
Even if their hands and feet were frozen by the cold chains, they never gave up.
Wei Han nodded when he heard this.
This is not like a holy land of immortals, where one can use various methods to test spiritual roots and bones.
"That's not fair!"
Although none of the 87 people are top martial arts talents, they are much better than ordinary children from farmers and craftsmen, and they should all be able to enter a good sect.
This scene made Wei Han frown secretly, and also told Xu Youran: "Tell the children of Shantang not to be in the limelight, and just show 70% to 80% of their potential. The thirty-two major sects of Pingzhou Prefecture, choose disciples
The ceremony was actually presided over by someone sent by the Palace Master, so I'm afraid there is some kind of trick or game going on here."
Many people in the crowd were so angry that their faces turned red.
Many who were weak or unable to withstand the severe cold screamed and fell into the Jingyang River. Fortunately, the river was not fast and there were a large number of boats waiting on the river.
There is no real fairness in the world!
These days, every time the people at the bottom take a step forward, they have to walk through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Those who are unlucky will only die. This is a fact that everyone has acquiesced in.
"They don't need to do anything on weekdays. They can just go back to Shantang once a year to communicate with each other. If there is really something they need to do, or if they need to provide any information, they can contact us via code."
Most of them are wealthy businessmen or children of small families.
Of course, there will definitely be those who fish in troubled waters!
They are all people who have experienced hardships in the world, and they know that happiness is hard-won. Now they are given a chance to climb up, and they will never let go even if they go through mountains of swords and seas of fire.
His voice spread to the entire audience through his true energy: "Fellow fellows, today is another good day twice a year for major sects to publicly select their disciples. I am very pleased to see that there are so many martial arts talents in our Pingzhou Prefecture. Today
I am here to preside over this assessment on behalf of the royal family. I hope you all have the courage to perform and win the crown! In addition, I also hope that the dragon and phoenix among you will be successful in the future. Don’t forget the cultivation of the imperial court, and don’t forget the royal family.
caring and caring!”
These orphans are more powerful than he imagined!
Gradually, some boys and girls stand out!
Wei Han recognized them one after another.
"Fu Cuiyun, Liu Xizhao, Liu Weiwei!"
Wei Han sneered dumbly, "Unfair? How could it be?"
The martial artist's family background is also a help. Now this simple assessment has given ordinary people a chance. If they enter the martial arts sect to practice, the gap between those with help and those without help will be infinitely widened.
The middle-aged fat man chattered enthusiastically!
"How many children do we have to take part in the assessment?" Wei Han asked casually.
These are all unavoidable. It can only be said that this assessment is only relatively fair.
"Not bad!" Xu Youran chuckled and said: "You are right, the palace master and the major wealthy families have always wanted to suppress the development of the sect's power, so they restricted each other and came up with such a ceremony. If there is any
If you perform too well, you will be targeted."
"hehe!"
They dispersed under the leadership of Coach Wang and did not attract anyone's attention. Only Wei Han's sharp eyesight was able to recognize them from a hundred feet away.
Thousands of boys and girls climbed directly onto the iron rope at the urging of their families and continued to climb toward the other side.
There are even less cases of using power for personal gain and cheating to deceive others.
Although their family backgrounds do not allow them to enter major sects through the back door, they have nourished and trained their bodies since childhood. Therefore, they have an advantage over ordinary young people from poor families, and they can climb up very quickly!
After just one stick of incense, several young men in colorful clothes crawled across the other side!
They were immediately favored by many sects, and even several top sects offered them olive branches.
These children were all taught by him personally.
Wei Han smiled with satisfaction again after hearing this.
This assessment is actually quite scientific.
At three quarters, a middle-aged fat man stood up.
So much so that when many people in the audience became impatient, this person announced the start of the assessment.
Xu Youran's face turned red and he spat secretly before saying: "Who has children with you? There are 87 children in the charity hall who are over 12 years old this time and can participate in the assessment. The remaining 274 people can also participate in the assessment in the next two years.
Participate. They have all been entered into the secret roster, and their contact codes have been set, and they have all been taught privately."
These iron ropes are all forged from large iron chains, and are completely cold. This winter is so cold that it can freeze a person's hands if they are held in their hands, and they will quickly lose body temperature if held in their arms.
Wei Han smiled slightly and continued watching the show!
This is where this massive apprenticeship selection examination begins.
For many people, walking every meter is a torture.
If someone falls into the river, the boatman will rescue them!
If he drowns before being rescued in time, he can only blame his own fate.
Most of the children are of low strength!
They gritted their teeth and used their hands and feet to crawl forward while hanging upside down.
Compared with those kids from rich families who have been exercising since childhood, although they are not outstanding, they are much better than ordinary kids from poor families.
After a lot of hard work, many of them have caught the attention of the deacons of various major sects!
"It's done!" Xu Youran said in surprise: "Resources, talent, character, perseverance, and foundation are the top priorities for each major sect in selecting candidates. They account for both foundation and perseverance, although they will not be snatched up like crazy.
, but I definitely don’t have to worry about not being able to enter the sect.”
