As the saying goes, the land is as productive as the boldness of the people.
Fang Zhengzheng doesn't have many escape routes now. Two months have passed since the battle in Yanjing City, and there is less than four months left.
in other words…
If he cannot break through to the Holy Realm within these four months, it will be equivalent to a dead end.
So, what else is there to worry about
After coughing slightly, Fang Zhengzheng's eyes swept over the faces of each candidate, and finally, naturally fell on Qianwu who was closest to him.
"Get rid of Qian Wu first?" Fang Zhengzheng's mind moved, and then he quickly rejected this idea because he remembered what the three Tiandao Pavilion disciples had said before.
If there were only three Tiandao Pavilion disciples present, he would naturally have no worries, but when the third elder and the fifth elder stood behind him.
It is obviously difficult to eliminate Qian Wu in an honest and fair manner.
never mind.
First, pick up a few soft persimmons and test the "bottom line" of the third elder and the fifth elder. If you confront the tough from the beginning, the plan will be shelved if it fails.
"Qianwu!"
"Prince Qianwu of the Shengman Dynasty, please ask the envoy to ask a question!" As soon as Qianwu heard Fang Zhengzheng's words, he also remembered the dishonesty mentioned by Fang Zhengzheng before, and immediately changed his tone and walked up.
"Explain the origin of Tao." Fang Zhengzheng nodded.
"Yes!" Qian Wu breathed a sigh of relief, then, after pondering for a moment, he finally said: "Tao is born in heaven and earth. Heaven and earth exist for all things. The existence of all things is Tao..."
Not long after, Qian Wu also explained the origin of Tao, and then looked nervously at Fang Zhengyi and the third and fifth elders standing behind Fang Zhengyi.
"Well, not bad, let's move on to the next level!" Just when Qianwu thought that there was a high chance that he would fail, Fang Zhengzheng's affirmative voice rang out.
"Passed?!"
"No way, did you really pass?"
"Qianwu seems to be the first one to pass today, right?"
The test takers standing around couldn't believe it when they heard what Fang Zhengzheng said. After all, Qianwu didn't respect Fang Zhengzheng just now.
in other words…
If Fang Zhengzheng is not open-minded enough, or if Fang Zhengzheng intends to embarrass Qian Wu, Qian Wu's hope of passing can be said to be slim.
"Sure enough, Senior Brother Kong Qing's state of mind is not something we can understand!"
"This is the real disciple of Tiandao Pavilion!"
"I really hope I have a chance to pass. In the future, I also want to study with Senior Brother Kong Qing!"
After reacting, almost half of the participants began to admire the opponent's integrity even more. Public is public, private is private. This is the true state of mind of a cultivator.
"Okay, next one!" Fang Zhengzheng waved his hand and "ignored" Qianwu, who was also a little unresponsive, and looked at the next person.
After Qian Wu was stunned for a moment, he immediately saluted Fang Zhengzheng, and then slowly retreated back into the crowd.
Following Fang Zhengzheng's next.
A young man in colorful clothes also came out.
Fang Zhengzheng was not too anxious this time. After the young man in Chinese clothes reported his identity and carefully answered the questions, he slowly said two words.
"disuse!"
"..." The body of the young man in Chinese clothes suddenly froze on the ground. He thought that he had finished answering the questions and should be able to pass, but he did not expect that it would still end like this.
The three Tiandao Pavilion disciples were also stunned.
"Eliminated again?!"
"Didn't Senior Brother Kong Qing say that one more person will be eliminated?"
"Yes, Sima Feng who was knocked unconscious just now should be considered eliminated, right? Then, why do we have to eliminate another one?"
The three Tiandao Pavilion disciples were a little unclear, but they did not dare to question the other party's upright decision. They could only carefully turn their eyes to the third elder and fifth elder not far away.
The third elder and the fifth elder were obviously not surprised when they heard Fang Zhengzheng say he was eliminated. They still stood there with a smile on their faces, as if they were waiting for Fang Zhengzheng's answer to the elimination.
"Does the third elder and the fifth elder also think that this person should be eliminated? No, there is nothing wrong with his answer. Moreover, nine people have been eliminated before, and with this one, there are ten people?" Three The Mingtian Dao Pavilion disciple's heart almost collapsed.
As for Fang Zhengzheng, he looked at the handsomely dressed young man in front of him with an innocent expression.
"Don't you know where you went wrong?"
"Yes, please ask the teacher to give some guidance to the students!" The young man in the Chinese uniform nodded, was eliminated, and then received guidance again, which seems to have become the custom of Tiandao this time.
"I just asked you about the 'fourth dimension', is that wrong?" Fang Zhengzheng asked calmly.
"That's right." The young man in Chinese clothes nodded again.
"Well, you did answer the four dimensions, and also cited propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame, and quoted the scriptures. If the four dimensions are not open, the country will perish. This shows that you also have a certain understanding of the four dimensions, but..." Fang Zheng Zheng paused.
"Please ask the teacher to teach me!"
"Without peace, the country will perish. This statement is not wrong in itself. However, you overemphasized the importance of this point, and in your tone you expressed your strong dissatisfaction with some of the shamelessness in the country. If I You guessed it right, your cultivation must have reached a bottleneck, and no matter how hard you try, you can't make any progress, is that true?" Fang Zhengzheng asked again.
"Teacher, you... how did you know that?!" The face of the young man in Chinese clothes was obviously surprised.
"Not only do I know that your cultivation has reached a bottleneck, I also know that there should be no more than three kinds of Tao in your cultivation!" Fang Zhengzheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile.
"This... please give me teacher's advice!" After hearing this, the young man in Chinese clothes knelt down directly, with tears in his eyes: "To be honest with you, teacher, there are indeed only two ways of cultivation for me, but they are both the supreme way. Growing up, I relied on this to be 'superior' and stronger than people in the same realm. But I don't know why, in recent years... "
"The gap between you and the people around you is getting closer and closer, right?"
"Yes, that's right. So, I don't quite understand why this is happening? Does the teacher think that I'm not talented enough and don't understand these two supreme ways?"
"No, your talent is very good, but do you understand that although the four dimensions are upright, there is no real integrity or real shame in the country? Everything has two sides. If you only emphasize one side, it will be Will it inevitably damage the other side?"
"Only emphasizing one side? Damage the other side? What the teacher said... I still didn't understand..." The young man in Chinese clothes still didn't seem to fully understand.
"The path of cultivation is the same as governing a country. If you only cultivate the supreme path and disdain other minor paths and only specialize in two of them, then you will not know the meaning of the other paths. However, do you know that all things Are they all accessible? There is no real difference between the great road and the small road. If you want to truly achieve the great road, you need the small road to support it. As the old saying goes: Water can break a boat or capsize it. What you are short of now is water!"
"Water? Lack of water... Water can destroy a boat or overturn it! I... I seem to understand, understand, I know how to break through. Thank you teacher for your guidance. Thank you teacher. After I go back, I will definitely let go of my prejudices. Explore other moral principles!" After thinking carefully, the young man in Chinese clothes finally became excited, and tears of excitement welled up in his eyes.
"Well, let's go!" Fang Zhengzheng waved his hand, indicating that you can leave.
"Yes, I'm leaving now!" Upon hearing this, the young man in fine clothes immediately bowed to Fang Zhengzheng with excitement, and then turned around and left quickly.
“…”
The test participants around them were looking at me, and I was looking at you, and they were all completely frozen in place as they looked at the young man in colorful clothes who was leaving excitedly.
Amazing, right
Just based on the answer of the young man in Huafu to the fourth dimension, we can see the bottleneck encountered by the young man in Huafu in his cultivation. Moreover, do you also know that the young man in Huafu only wants to cultivate the great path
The most special thing is the sentence "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
This sentence itself is obviously the art of the emperor, but it is used to explain the cultivation, which really makes them feel a feeling of "endless and unfathomable" in their hearts.
"Senior Brother Kong Qing is simply the reincarnation of a god..."
"I must enter Tiandao Pavilion, and I also want to be like Senior Brother Kong Qing!"
"Tianzhen, do you think that every disciple of Tiandao Pavilion can be as powerful as Senior Brother Kong Qing? I only have one wish, that is, it is enough to receive more guidance from Senior Brother Kong Qing."
"Yes, if I can enter Tiandao Pavilion, I will definitely be able to receive more guidance. Maybe, I will be able to achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation!"
Each of the candidates who took the test thought again of Xun Fei, who had made a breakthrough on the spot, and of the young man in Chinese attire who was expected to make a breakthrough, and they became more and more excited.
At this moment, they seemed to no longer care so much about whether they could be eliminated, but what they valued more was whether they could get Fang Zhengzheng's guidance and then break through the bottleneck in their own cultivation.
After all, their main purpose of entering Tiandao Pavilion was to break through the bottleneck.
The young man in fine clothes is gone...
However, the third elder and the fifth elder did not say a word or blame each other from beginning to end. They just looked at each other, and they could clearly see the surprise in each other's eyes.
However, the two of them didn't say anything after all, which was undoubtedly equivalent to acquiescence that Fang Zhengzheng could continue.
And this one continues…
Four more test takers were eliminated.
The most amazing thing is that almost every person who was eliminated left happily and excitedly. The feeling was even happier than picking up a treasure on the ground.
So far, out of the thirty-two people who have participated in the Tiandao Pavilion selection test, only Qianwu has passed, and the number of people who have been eliminated has reached fourteen.
Almost half.
At this moment, the third elder and the fifth elder finally couldn't stand still.
