"That person's status is so lofty. If Yuan Jie can't even see his face, how can he talk about something he doesn't like?"
The old dwarf laughed dumbly and explained: "But the one ten years ago did give Luo Men the opportunity to follow him, but none of the Luo Men's disciples at that time met the conditions. Luo Men recruits disciples only once in a hundred years, why?
Are you making an exception now? I'm afraid it's because you want to find a good prospect so that you can get in touch with that person."
"That one is becoming more and more popular now, and Luomen is getting weaker day by day. If you want to revitalize the family, it is inevitable to follow the trend. Think about it, under this situation, Luomen is thirsty for talents. At this time, he has obtained the assessment
First, the chance of being recommended to that person will naturally increase, which is why you tried your best to get the first place."
"However, now that Yuan Jie has taken the first place, and can still shock the nine prophets, it shows how talented he is. You are already a big step behind him. If this continues, you will completely lose this opportunity.
."
The dwarf old man sighed repeatedly. What he said made Shao Heyang feel even more depressed. He secretly lamented that he was unlucky enough to meet such a strong competitor.
"After the big shot named Gu came to Luomen ten years ago, it was said that many disciples of Luomen were killed or injured. There may be a hidden meaning to the whole thing, and even if you get on that line, you may not be lucky." Shao Heyang comforted himself.
, besides thinking like this, what else can he do?
"There is indeed something fishy about what happened ten years ago, but there can be no lies about the quota. The Shao family has long respected Prophet Dong, and he will not deceive us about this kind of thing." The dwarf old man shook his head.
"Hmph, that Mr. Dong is too unprofitable to start early. If he really treats my Shao family differently, he could just accept me as his disciple. Why bother beating around the bush?" Shao Heyang complained.
The dwarf old man's expression changed after hearing this, and he looked around nervously. "Young master, please be careful what you say! The prophets of Luomen know everything. If you are dissatisfied with him, he can see through it at a glance when you are in front of him.
It's not good for you to make him unhappy!"
"Mr. Wei thinks too highly of those prophets, a group of guys who never leave the mountains and forests..."
Shao Heyang muttered a few words, feeling a little guilty. After all, he had heard of many Luomen prophets' magical powers, and his voice became quieter as he spoke.
"Now that things have happened, the young master should prepare well for the inner sect examination. If he performs well enough in the inner sect examination, there is still a chance."
The old dwarf gave a few words of comfort and then left.
Shao Heyang was left alone in the room. Thinking of everything that happened during the day, he still couldn't understand his thoughts and couldn't sleep all night long.
After the dwarf old man left, no one noticed that on the roof of Shao Heyang's room, a small dragonfly, as motionless as a sculpture, blinked its compound eyes.
In the middle of the night, a small dragonfly flew into the open window of Gu Chen's room. Gu Chen, who was practicing cross-legged, immediately opened his eyes and stretched out his fingers.
The little dragonfly stopped on his fingertips and conveyed some messages to him through the weak fluctuations of spiritual thoughts.
Because he was wary, Gu Chen asked the dragon monster to pay attention to the disturbance at the outer door. If Shao Heyang had murderous intentions towards him, the dragon monster would naturally report such a thing.
Gu Chen learned that the dragon monster spy had overheard the private conversation between Shao Heyang and the dwarf old man, and was not interested in Shao Heyang's murderous intention. Instead, he became interested in the inside story mentioned by the two.
"A big shot named Gu? Luo Men's entrance exam actually has a secret hidden in it?"
Gu Chen's expression was uncertain. For some reason, his eyelids jumped when he heard that someone with the same surname as him had come to Luomen.
"Intensify the surveillance of Shao Heyang, and find a way to find out what happened in Luomen ten years ago."
Gu Chen quickly gave new instructions to the dragon monster, then closed his eyes and re-entered the practice.
Candidates who passed the outer examination did not have to wait for a few days before taking the inner examination.
Gu Chen originally thought that the inner sect assessment would be personally handled by the prophets, and that he might be able to meet Fang Shijie, but the result disappointed him.
No prophet showed up during the inner sect's assessment, and naturally Fang Shijie didn't show up either. He had no way of knowing which prophet had snatched Fang Shijie as his apprentice that day, and what Fang Shijie had done in the Bagua chart.
The elders of Luomen are still in charge of the assessment. The difference from last time is that this time the Bagua map is gone, and there are a bunch of large and bulky Taoist tools in the assessment area.
"Today, your Dao roots, physical constitution, mental strength and other aspects will be tested. The test results will eventually be handed over to the prophets. The prophets will decide whether to accept which one to enter the inner gate based on your test results."
The elders of Luomen briefly introduced the rules of the assessment. After hearing such an assessment method, some new disciples couldn't help but look dark.
The current assessment method is actually the most common among major sects when recruiting disciples. It is normal for them to be treated based on their qualifications.
However, Luomen is not an ordinary sect. The particularity of its sect makes its requirements for recruiting disciples often very different from others, making it possible for some people with mediocre qualifications to pass the examination.
These people with mediocre qualifications finally got in. They originally hoped to be noticed by the prophet's wise eyes. Who would have thought that the prophet had no intention of meeting them at all and used the most universal standard to measure them. How could he not make them feel hurt?
Under the universal assessment method, some people's results are doomed from the beginning.
No matter what the new disciples thought, a large Taoist weapon emitted a bright light and began to check everyone's qualifications.
The new disciples lined up to undergo the examination. Gu Chen was in the middle and back of the queue, waiting with a calm expression.
Before entering Luomen, he was well aware of the possible inspections and made corresponding preparations, so he did not panic.
This kind of qualification examination may be done differently in various sects in the Hongmeng Taoist world, but there is essentially no difference.
The so-called qualifications, first and foremost, are Tao roots.
What Tao Root is, in the eyes of people in the Hongmeng Taoist world, is a person's innate cultivation qualifications, including what kind of laws he is suitable to practice, and how talented he is to practice this kind of laws.
According to their attributes, Tao roots include the five elements Tao roots of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as other types of Tao roots such as darkness, wind, and thunder, which are weird and countless.
According to the grade of Daogen, there are also low grade, medium grade, high grade, treasure and divine grade.
This grade classification is the same as the original classification of Chaos Sea monks. Is it a coincidence?
Of course not.
The so-called Dao root in the Hongmeng Taoist world is actually the original power mentioned by the Chaos Sea monks!
It's just that the creatures in the Tao world bathe in the Hongmeng vitality and grow up, and possess the original power at birth, that is, they have Tao roots, while the monks in the Chaos Sea can only possess it through practice.
