Not only Sihaimen was very surprised by Xu Tonghui's listing, but everyone present was also surprised.
This listing may not be earth-shattering, but it is something that no one has ever thought of.
Otherwise, none of the seven lists would have the name Miao Daquan on it.
In fact, the seven sect leaders just thought about it. Although the final ten winning spots must be decided by Xu Yishan, those ten spots must also be chosen from the list of thirty-four people.
Not only because all the children with outstanding performance have been included in their list, but also because Xu Yishan's handling style has always been as gentle as the wind and as steady as a mountain.
Except during heavy rains, there are rarely strong winds in Annan, and the winds are usually "moderate".
Xu Yishan's style is "harmony".
What should the final winner list look like?
Xu Yishan should have synthesized the opinions of various companies and selected from top to bottom from the ones listed the most, thus selecting about seven, eight, or nine.
Then the remaining one, two, three, he will choose by himself, maybe not too high on the list.
Normally, this is a situation that is very likely to happen considering Xu Yishan's behavior.
And Xu Tonghui's list is like a small wooden ball rolling normally on the ground, and a brick suddenly appears in front of it.
It disrupted the whole situation.
One to seven, will it be chaotic?
The answer is, yes!
Because Xu Tonghui is a heavyweight figure in the hearts of everyone in the field.
His actual weight may not be as good as Xu Yishan's, but at most it's only a little bit behind.
And will Xu Yishan ignore Xu Tonghui's opinion?
Won't!
But the name Miao Daquan was just the beginning. As the ten names were chanted one by one, the astonishment of the people on earth became more and more intense.
Because there are two more names at the end, which are not on the big list!
To sum up, Xu Tonghui selected seven that performed very well and were in line with public opinion, and then selected three that performed very poorly, so poorly that others would not even take a second look.
There are seven that are deeply in line with the general consensus, which is actually in line with the "general".
But what are the remaining three?
Just because you want to stand out, you can’t just stuff crooked and bad dates into these ten lists, right? Even if you put some not so good ones, don’t choose the ones that are so crooked and bad!
Even the three elders who were unexpectedly chosen thought so themselves!
After the initial extreme shock, Miao Xinghe wondered if Tong Hui was thinking of his friendship with him, so he brought his beloved grandson with him.
But this doesn't make sense.
What is the occasion?
In a word, no matter what the event is, this occasion is the most solemn occasion in Annan County!
There can't be anything more than that!
On this occasion, in a sense, there is no "personal relationship". Everyone knows that Xu Yishan and Gan Congshi have a good relationship, but they have not said a word until now!
If you have anything to say, you have too much time to say it in private, why do you have to say it here?
Unless you are specifically showing to outsiders that your relationship is extraordinary!
Therefore, Miao Xinghe did not think that Xu Tonghui chose Miao Daquan because of his relationship with him.
That's not how the game works!
Then why?
Miao Xinghe was puzzled.
Even Miao Xinghe, who was most familiar with Xu Tonghui and had the earliest contact with him, was like this, and the others were even more confused.
After looking at Xu Tonghui, everyone looked at Xu Yishan.
But a look of surprise seemed to flash across Xu Yishan's face.
At this moment, Xu Yishan asked Xu Tonghui, "Tonghui, can you tell me the reason why you chose Miao Datou...Miao Daquan?"
Of course Xu Yishan can't remember everything because he is so big. That's really a joke. It's just that his identity is here, it doesn't matter what he says, and there is no need to put on any dignified airs.
In addition, on the other side, there are children calling "Miao Datou". Obviously, for the chubby little friends, the name "Miao Datou" is more comfortable.
Maybe, it's more vivid.
Because that little chubby guy has a big bald head, and his head is relatively big.
Of course, the reason why Xu Yishan said this was to lighten the atmosphere a little.
Everyone is very serious!
Xu Yishan's intention is probably to tell everyone that they don't have to be so serious and can relax a little.
After reviewing the entire audience, he was the only one qualified to set the tone.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, some people laughed. Gu Huaimin, the leader of the Sihai Sect, also chuckled and said, "I thought the name Datou sounded better before. Xinghe, listen to it. Now Mr. Xu also says the same."
, then you might as well just let your child be called Datou from now on!"
This is of course a joke. If Miao Xinghe really agreed to this matter, he would not be able to escape his reputation as a person with no integrity and a reputation for flattery.
Several people in the venue who were familiar with Miao Xinghe also started joking, which really made the atmosphere more relaxed.
After this small episode, everyone still focused their attention on Xu Tonghui, waiting for his explanation as to why he chose Miao Daquan.
"The complete collection is really complete, with a bald head and a round head."
Xu Tonghui first read these two sentences from Lei Daquan, and then said to everyone, "Brother, seniors, everyone should be able to see that Miao Daquan's literary thinking is not very good."
Someone just laughs.
This is not a very good literary thought. To write something like this, there is no such thing as a literary thought at all!
But this is actually nothing.
Not to mention just children, even among adult practitioners, there are quite a few who cannot even read a few Chinese characters.
Who says you can’t practice spiritual practice if you can’t read?
Literacy is needed to condense qi? Literacy is needed to open the meridians? Literacy is needed to open the mind?
Really needed.
But it’s not necessary!
There are ancestors in the Sihai Sect who learned Chinese characters only after they had gained enlightenment, and it did not prevent them from advancing to the lower level.
Therefore, cultivators don't actually attach too much importance to this aspect, so there is no reason to laugh at Miao Daquan's performance. At most, they would just laugh at it.
The severity of the two is completely different.
Miao Xinghe's old face was red and hot, and he was a little worried.
He really brought his grandson here just to let him know more, and for no other purpose, but he really didn't expect that his beloved grandson would give him such a surprise.
This careless brat!
In fact, Miao Xinghe also knew that this brat was not the material, but he had no intention of "doing it for him" beforehand.
It is said that it is very easy for Sihaimen to cheat. The elders first write several Taoist poems, and let the juniors participating in the competition memorize them, and then write them out.
Isn't this simple?
But there is no need to do this at all.
Moreover, what kind of person is Xu Yishan? If he sees any abnormalities in the behavior of the Sihaimen juniors, then this matter will not be simple at all, but will become quite complicated.
Why bother!
At this time, I heard Xu Tonghui say
"The reason why I chose this Taoist poem is just one word, 'true'."
"I see Miao Daquan as a child who is innocent and natural. Although these two lines of Taoist poetry are superficial and ridiculous, his innocence and naturalness are neither superficial nor ridiculous."
After a pause, Xu Tonghui continued, "On the long road of life and cultivation, it is too easy to learn falsehoods, but difficult to keep the truth. I only hope that this child, ten, twenty, fifty, or one hundred years from now,
I can still remember what happened today, and I can still remember what I wrote today.”
Hearing this, there was silence in the audience.
After a while, Miao Xinghe moved slightly and came to Xu Tonghui. He gave him a solemn salute and said, "Brother Tonghui, as you said, I will not let Daquan forget what happened today."
Written!"
"Every year from now on, and every time his cultivation improves, I will ask him to retreat and reflect on himself, and then copy these two sentences ten thousand times."
"It's okay to retreat for self-reflection, but there's no need to copy these two sentences ten thousand times for me to read." Xu Yishan said with a smile, "Otherwise, this kid might hate Tong Hui to the sky."
Everyone in the audience laughed.
Xu Yishan said to Xu Tonghui, "Okay! Tonghui, I agree with your reason for choosing Miao Daquan. Then what is your reason for choosing this child?"
Xu Yishan pointed to a name on the copied list.
That was the sixth of Xu Tonghui's ten children, and the second one he listed out of the ordinary. That name was "Zuo Qing."
It's a little girl.
And what she just wrote was "This year the flowers bloomed, this year the flowers fell. Next year the flowers bloom again, and I am one year older."
(You can check it out to see if there is anything similar to Xu Tonghui’s explanation, haha.)
