Chapter 9: Jade Pearls Falling on the Plate Showing Magical Powers (Part 2)
The drop of water made by Shen Xuanyong suddenly landed in the center of the jade plate. It was firmly fixed and did not deviate even half an inch.
The play of "Jade Beads Falling on a Plate" is a spell used by spiritual monks to test the purity of their skills. The previous "Le You Gathering" did not have this as its title.
According to popular rules, the so-called "jade plate" is not such a flat mirror, but like a real plate for holding food, with a shallow bottom and a concave bevel in the center, forming a slight inclination to prevent the jade beads from rolling out of the plate after they fall on the plate.
.Those who take the physical test will only test the principle of hardness and softness. If the jade bead and jade plate can keep the ball from breaking after the collision, it will be considered a pass.
It can be said that it is easy for Chongxiao Pavilion disciples to achieve this level. Therefore, it is logical to increase the difficulty.
Moreover, everyone present had seen the real selection three years ago, and they all knew what the hidden intention was in using this jade bead as the title.
Shen Xuanyong's jade bead fell right in the middle of the jade plate. If the next person who takes action doesn't have a little thought and casually condenses a jade bead and falls into the plate, it may not be considered a success. Although Shen Xuanyong is modest and takes the first shot
, but it also set a certain threshold invisibly. It can be seen that he did not have a glimpse of the true and false thoughts of his fellow disciples.
In this way, everyone contributed, and when Cheng Buming, Qiao Xiuguang, Rong Changzhi, Ning Suchen, Zhong Zichang, and Ran Dongling took action, they could more or less get a glimpse of many doorways.
For the vast majority of fellow sects, in order to win the title of true successor, they have to defeat four of these six people. Or Cheng Buming can be excluded.
After waiting for a while, someone cleared their mind. A young man with a yellow face and a gray shirt named Ji Xuefeng took a step forward without hesitation, followed the same pattern, formed a water ball, and threw it into the air.
When the water ball fell, it seemed that the angle was a bit tilted, and it almost landed outside the jade plate. It made people wonder whether he missed it due to carelessness, or whether his own skills were insufficient.
After an imperceptible muffled sound, everyone took a closer look. The water ball landed steadily on the northern edge of the jade plate. The center of gravity of the water ball completely coincided with the edge of the jade plate. If it deviated even one and a half centimeters outward, it would roll down.
Outside the table, when everyone saw this scene, they applauded and cheered continuously. Ji Xuefeng also bowed his hands in greeting to his fellow guests one by one, with a slight glow on his face.
It's just that this time, although everyone applauded, most of their expressions were a little subtle. Rong Changzhi, Zhong Zichang and others even had a trace of imperceptible playful smiles on their faces.
In this kind of magic fighting game, the person who ends up has only three choices: either he admits that he can't do it and admits defeat frankly; or he fools him according to the script and achieves nothing; the third option is to raise the weight.
, give another general to those who come after you.
However, Ji Xuefeng's behavior was a bit of a coincidence. Judging from the visual effect, his water droplet narrowly missed landing on the edge of the jade plate, which seemed to be better than Shen Xuanyong's, whose droplet landed honestly on the plate.
.
However, Shen Xuanyong's water ball actually landed in the center of the jade plate with incomparable accuracy. Compared with the center and the circumference, there is actually no difference in difficulty. From this point of view, Ji Xuefeng's move is suspected of taking advantage.
However, Ji Xuefeng's move this time gave others a clearer idea. Feng Tianxing, Song Pingquan, and Zhang Xuanlong took action one after another, completely imitating Ji Xuefeng's method, and dropped three water balloons on the east, south, and west of the jade plate.
direction.
Feng Tianxing and the other three achieved spiritual form relatively late, and it only took a month or two for them to break through the "reflection" level. They thought they could still use the methods of Xuanyong and Ji Xuefeng in front of them, but if they couldn't protect them, who could?
Fighting out raised the bar, and they might not be able to intervene at that time, which would be a loss of face. So they rushed to take action first.
Fortunately, the three of them made it clear that they just wanted to get a tie and had no intention of taking advantage like Ji Xuefeng. Although no one cheered, everyone nodded, indicating that they had passed the test.
Feng Tianxing and the other three also knew that there was little hope in the selection of the true successor, but they just tried their best and had no regrets. They were also very calm about the ambiguous last "Leyou Party" in front of them.
Seeing the five jade beads settled in five directions, the latecomers will have to think a lot.
Except for the center point, the special position in this plate is the circumference. The diameter of this jade plate is more than two feet, and the diameter of the water balls condensed by each person is only three inches. If all follow the practices of Ji Xuefeng, Feng Tianxing and others, this jade plate will
A circle was formed around the edge, enough to accommodate twenty or thirty jade beads. But no one wanted to do this.
The actions of Feng Tianxing and the other two people were not secretive at all. In fact, they were already admitting that they were not good enough. They only wanted one to pass the test one by one. The three of them achieved spiritual form relatively late, and others could not criticize them harshly. But if the next person who takes action still does the same thing,
, then it would be a lack of sincerity.
At this time, a woman with a bun, a purple dress, and a beautiful face stepped forward. Her face was calm and calm, she smiled faintly at the brothers, waved her hand, her wide sleeves danced, and the water droplets flew like broken jade.
, has a unique and unrestrained charm.
This woman is Ran Dongling.
In the blink of an eye, the condensed water ball fell quickly.
Everyone took a closer look and saw that the water polo was stacked on top of Shen Xuanyong's water polo in the middle. It turned out to be "beads on top of beads." Everyone present cheered loudly.
When stacking beads on beads, even if the force is extremely accurate, the inertia when falling is too great. As long as the water ball and jade plate below vibrate slightly, the ball will be missed immediately. With the eyesight of everyone, it is enough to see that the difference between the two water ball is only a millimeter.
Just when they were about to collide, the falling water ball quickly decelerated, and then gently "knocked" against the water ball below. However, the timing was extremely clever. If it were a junior disciple of the True Qi Realm, it would be difficult to see the clues.
.
This completely opened everyone's minds. Zhen Shaohua stepped forward and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Ran, don't use tricks, it's really clever. Junior Brother, I'm a fool, so I can only follow the script." After saying that, he waved his hand and condensed it into a drop of water, flying into the air.
It fell and landed steadily on the water droplet of Ran Dongling, forming a superposition of three beads. His movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, completed in one go.
The eyes of everyone present were bright. Every time a bead was stacked, the difficulty was naturally increased. It was not a loss of face to imitate the cat and the tiger. At that moment, six or seven people took action in succession, and within a quarter of an hour, an eight-piece combo was created.
Strings of candied haws. During this process, one person took action, and the rest put away their previous leisurely looks, but stared intently at the falling jade beads.
Gui Wujiu's heart suddenly moved, this "Enjoyment Party" was only at this point the most exciting part.
In normal gatherings, although some people inevitably want to show off their skills, in general, it still cannot be regarded as a real game. The difficulty of the test questions will not be raised too high, and everyone will be able to pass the test. And this last question
It is a "pleasure party", and I am afraid that nine out of ten people present have the idea of exploring the truth.
As a prelude to the selection of true successors, this competition will inevitably turn into seven realities and three emptiness, with hidden sparks. This "bead upon bead" technique is so wonderful that Gui Wujiu can't help but admire it for its depth of thought.
Although seven or eight people in a row seemed to have done it effortlessly, the difference was obvious. For example, Ran Dongling and one or two other outstanding people, the water droplets controlled by Ran Dongling and other outstanding people quickly moved towards each other at the moment when they were about to collide.
At rest, it "joins" directly above the beads on the plate. The subtle differences are almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.
Those with weaker skills did not dare to do this, and had to withdraw their strength when the two water beads were still three to five minutes apart. The weakest person among them adjusted in advance when the two beads were still an inch apart, even with the naked eye.
You can also see a rather abrupt deceleration process in the mortal tire. The difference between the high and low is clearly distinguishable.
In this way, everyone can get off the field and complete the competition. On the surface, they will not lose face or retreat in fear of difficulties; but those who are interested can also get a glimpse of everyone's cultivation level from it. This design is not without its subtlety.
Gui Wujiu secretly glanced at Han Taikang. On the surface, "Jade beads falling on the plate" and "beads on beads" were Shen Xuanyong's and Ran Dongling's choices respectively, but Gui Wujiu always felt that all these were expected by Han Taikang.
.Han Taikang was very alert to Gui Wujiu's gaze. He turned his head and smiled softly, which seemed to mean something meaningful.
The next person on the stage was wearing a light yellow shirt, tall and straight. This person's name was Miya Naofumi. The person who rushed onto the stage nodded slightly, followed the same method and condensed it into a drop of water, continuing the drama of the stack of arhats, and sending this person smoothly.
The ninth bead.
Everyone was sharp-eyed. When the distance between the two beads was still three points, Gong Naofumi withdrew his strength in advance, turned from movement to stillness, and gently lowered it. This performance can be ranked between the third and fourth among the disciples who have been killed. This performance
His cultivation level is roughly the same as everyone's prediction of his strength in advance.
Cheng Buming stood up and took a step forward.
The few people who have not yet appeared on the stage are all shocked. In the minds of most people, Cheng Buming's strength is the best among them all. In the past, he has always been the finale of this kind of acting drama. If he plays
If you come up with any new tricks and increase the difficulty too much, the remaining people will be unable to get off the stage.
Cheng Buming seemed to understand everyone's thoughts, nodded slightly, and formed a drop of water very casually, obviously not intending to cause trouble. He has always had a solitary demeanor, but now he is uncharacteristically, and seems to be very considerate.
.
Just when Cheng Buming was about to take action, Rong Changzhi suddenly said: "The counting starts from one and ends at nine. The nine beads on this jade plate are stacked together, which is the ultimate number. Besides, the thing that everyone will face in ten days' time,
It’s not based on the number nine. If Senior Brother Cheng did the same thing and stacked it into a ten-zi gourd, it might not be beautiful.”
Cheng Buming had no expression on his face, stopped and thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Rong's words are reasonable."
Among the disciples who had not taken action, three or four people complained that Rong Changzhi was nosy. But those who had taken action were not under any pressure, but were secretly curious - this "stacking beads on beads" is already quite difficult. If
If we want to make some changes, we have to see what Cheng Buming can do.
Cheng Buming's movements were extremely swift. He flicked his fingers like a bow, and the water droplet flew out quickly.
This water droplet flew extremely high, but fell faster. In the blink of an eye, a small ray of light grew from small to large, approaching everyone's field of vision again, and silently landed on the nine water droplets, showing a stack of ten beads.
appearance.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Cheng Buming clearly said that he wanted to be innovative. Everyone wanted to see his novel methods. Cheng Buming was not someone who didn't keep his word.
Rong Changzhi said in surprise: "Senior Brother Cheng..."
Before he finished speaking, Rong Changzhi's expression suddenly changed.
