Zhang Ke received a notice that three days later, on the tenth day of June, there would be a Taoist examination at the "Dayan Academy".
More than 1,500 trial disciples.
In the end, only 800 people were notified of the Taoist examination, and half of them were men and women.
After gathering the disciples of Wuzi Taoist Academy, they found that nearly 70 people were tested and only 30 people got the chance to take the Taoist examination.
Others can only turn to the outside world or return to the secular world to live this life.
In the lobby on the ground floor of "Dayan Academy".
Eight hundred disciples preparing for the Taoist examination were waiting in high spirits.
The Shanmen Taoist examination is divided into two parts.
The first is the interview. What you prepare must be able to impress the real judge.
It seems simple, but it is not.
The Taoist tradition of Xiantian Yiqi Sect has been passed down for who knows how many years.
As a Taoist disciple, how many topics can he prepare that will make real people excited?
This is Zhang Ke's disadvantage.
Generally speaking, being able to enter a Taoist temple is a kind of screening in itself.
After hundreds of years of hard work, the Zhang Ke family had the opportunity to send their children to the Taoist Academy.
Unless the average person is a special genius, Shanmen will admit them directly.
Such as those who awaken supernatural powers in the secular world, or those who have special abilities.
More than five people from Zhang Ke's family entered the Taoist Academy in this session.
Because two of them were direct descendants, they had already done family research to prepare for the Taoist examination interviews.
This is allowed.
The other three people, including Zhang Ke, had to find a breakthrough on their own.
This is also the reason why when Zhang Ke encounters trouble, his family rarely resolves it.
But there was no injustice in the family in other respects, and there was never any shortage of money or anything else.
Zhang Ke and others were not forced to follow the instructions of their direct descendants.
So Zhang Ke never complained.
He also developed an independent, self-reliant and self-disciplined character.
Half of the people will be eliminated in the Dao Kao interview.
Only those who pass the interview can proceed to the second item:
"Foundation building!"
This is something that no one can help with, you can only rely on yourself.
Many outstanding disciples among the outer disciples failed at this step.
If the foundation building fails, you may realize some incomplete magical powers.
Such as Lin Chaohe's night eye technique.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer Dao Kao disciples in front of me.
From time to time, disciples would teleport out and break down to the point of bursting into tears.
The atmosphere in the hall became a little tense.
Someone was heard shouting: "Next batch!"
Zhang Ke swallowed, pushed the things in his hands and walked towards the mirror door on the ground floor.
Many disciples were like this and discovered that there was indeed an extra mirror door.
What is different from other mirror doors is that the frame of this extra mirror door is red.
Zhang Ke took a long breath and stepped into the mirror door.
Between darkness and light, I entered this single-story building that is added every four years.
At the door of each of the ten rooms, there are disciples of the deacons in black from the Catching Tower to guide them.
Zhang Ke followed the instructions and entered a room, which was about a hundred square meters.
No decoration, with windows on both sides.
Three real people sit cross-legged side by side, with a long table in front of them.
Zhang Ke walked up to the three real people and saluted.
I have never seen the three people opposite me in real life. They are two men and one woman, and their looks are somewhat unique.
The female crown in the center is wearing a Taoist robe, but it is extremely close-fitting, highlighting the delicate figure of the woman.
There is a black pattern tattoo on the left forehead of his face, his lips are painted with red, his eyes are flowing like water, his Taoist name is "Furong", and he majors in beast control.
The real person on the left is "Fei Lei", and his talismans are unparalleled in the sect.
He has a rough appearance, with a broad face and round eyes, and a beard that spreads out like needles, like a hedgehog with explosive hair.
The real person on the right is even more strange, with his ears hanging down from his shoulders.
Two long white eyebrows droop down to his cheeks, and three white beards hang down.
He has a rosy complexion and a smiling face, very festive. He is a magician with the Taoist name "Fuyao".
"Name?"
"Zhang Ke of Wuziyuan of Tianqian Taoist Academy!"
"You can start your self-report!"
Zhang Ke watched the real person on the stage flipping through the information and understood that he was looking for his own file.
He prepared a lot for this day.
Master Furong chuckled and said seriously: "Zhang Ke of Tiangan Wuzi Taoist Academy! Now start your self-report!"
Zhang Ke first bowed deeply.
He turned around and opened one of the two items he brought behind him, revealing a white drawing board.
Zhang Ke cleared his throat and said: "What I said today will definitely change the world in the future, and the three real people will definitely witness this miracle!!"
Master Fuyao and the other three people couldn't help but take a long breath of cold air.
The disciple in front of me may be in another trap, and nothing good will happen today.
I'm afraid that in the future, instead of witnessing a miracle, I will be nailed to a pillar of shame.
The three real people looked at it with anxiety.
Zhang Ke walked closer and said, "How much do these three real people know about time?"
Master Fuyao stroked his beard and said, "What do you mean?"
"Disciple would like to ask what time it is now?"
Master Fuyao raised his head and looked at the sunlight coming in through the window.
He made an estimate and said, "It's probably almost noon!!"
Zhang Ke smiled slightly, took out four small sticks and propped up one.
Explained: "Now I will first locate the direction of true north, then find the east, and rely on the length of the shadow of the stick to determine the current time!"
After that, start working to find the center vertical line and locate true north.
The approximate time can be estimated with the naked eye based on the length of the shadow:
"It's about a quarter of an hour now!"
After saying that, Zhang Ke came to operate behind the still covered object.
There was a clockwork sound, and there was a rhythmic "clang" sound.
Zhang Ke returned to his original position and took a slender wooden stick in his left hand.
He also took out some small rectangular iron blocks like building blocks, about the size of a thumb, with depressions on the back.
Zhang Ke first attached the thin wire to the drawing board. Since there are magnets on the back of the drawing board, the wire can be firmly attached.
After everything was done, Zhang Ke turned to face the three real people and said:
"What is time?"
"Time is a phenomenon that keeps moving forward!"
"As an individual, time starts to move as soon as each of us opens our eyes after birth!"
"So, what do we know about time?"
Zhang Ke asked a question, but he didn't want the three real people to answer.
Just guide by asking questions.
Master Feilei said impatiently: "It's my mother-in-law's fault, please put it simply!"
Zhang Ke smiled bitterly and said: "It's really not an easy matter to clarify this matter!"
Pointing at the drawing board he said:
"Time always moves forward, but" Zhang Ke said with emphasis:
