Chapter 33: first step

Views:

Several Baiyangdong students ran quickly into the canyon.

Seeing those students running happily, Nangong Caishu became more and more annoyed.

She finally couldn't bear it and walked to the side of Ding Ning who had a calm face, and said in a low voice with a tiger's face, "Do you know what the entrance test for Baiyang Cave is?"

Ding Ning shook his head and said softly, "I don't know."

Nangong Caishu was speechless for a moment, his hands and feet felt cold with anger.

"I know you are very angry now, and you helped me say those things, but the result was completely ruined by my few words, but don't worry, I should be able to pass." However, Ding Ning smiled slightly and said softly to her.

"I really don't understand what you think. This kind of test has nothing to do with confidence, and you should also understand the truth that one thing more is worse than one thing less." Nangong Caishu took a deep breath and tried his best to control his emotions Said.

"I just think one more thing is worse than one less thing..." Ding Ning glanced at Su Qin who was standing beside the stele, and said softly, "A thing that makes me get started or doesn't let me get started can win people's hearts."

Nangong Caishu was startled for a moment.

Following Ding Ning's gaze, she saw the different expressions of Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

One is absolutely icy, just.

And the other is a deep worry.

Almost all the students of Baiyang Cave gathered on the mountain road, even the standing position, were obviously inclined to Su Qin's side.

"So even if you stand up for me, it will still be very troublesome for me to enter the mountain gate." Ding Ning turned to look at her, smiled and said in a low voice: "But I don't think Su Qin will stand higher than Zhang Yi in the future, because at the beginning He was wrong. The real high-ranking people are always on the side of the higher high-ranking people. Even if Li Lingjun has built such a reputation and won enough people's hearts, if he wants to return to the country, he still has to The decision is in the hands of several real dignitaries of the Great Chu Dynasty."

Nangong Caishu frowned, she couldn't help turning her head to look at Ding Ning, "I admit that your words sound reasonable, and I also admit that your vision is indeed very clear and long-term, but all sects The entry test is to test whether the person has the possibility of becoming a practitioner. As for the knowledge and vision, it is the potential that can pass the test and be valued after the entry."

"Thank you for your concern, but the more you care about me now, I'm afraid I will have more troubles after I get started." Ding Ning said sincerely and softly: "Although Baiyang Cave has returned to the Ivy Sword Academy, the disciples who want to come here Most of the time I still practice here, the more they feel that I am close to you, the more they will hate me."

Nangong Caishu frowned even tighter. She could hear Ding Ning's gratitude, and understood that what Ding Ning said was indeed true, but what Ding Ning still said was after the initiation. Could it be that he was really so sure? Pass an entry test that is impossible to cheat

At this moment, more hurried footsteps sounded in the mist behind the mountain gate of Baiyang Cave.

The two students who ran in the front each carefully held two square wooden boxes with pine grains, while behind them were at least forty or fifty students from Baiyangdong.

These students have also heard about the fact that an ordinary street boy was exempted from the entrance examination today, and they were also a little dissatisfied. It was just because their temperament was not as radical as Shen Bai and others, so they just waited for the result in the valley, not like Shen Bai. Bai and others came to block the road aggressively, but now I heard that the dispute on the mountain road has already alarmed the senior brother and the second senior brother, and this street boy who was exempted from the entrance examination offered to pass the examination to enter the mountain. I couldn't hold back anymore, and they all came out to see what happened.

In fact, for these students who have already started, the annual entry test is a lively drama that must be watched.

I have to watch it not because there may be beautiful junior sisters, and it is not because I want to see if there is any amazing and stunning person in the door at the first time, it is more because my sense of superiority has been greatly satisfied.

Thinking of the scene where I passed the test under great psychological pressure that day, and watching the scene of a large number of people failing in the big test, the joy in my heart cannot be described in words.

But at this moment, looking at Ding Ning standing outside the mountain gate, all the students of Baiyang Cave felt a big difference at a glance.

Ding Ning was very calm, the kind of absolute calm, not the kind of pretended calm, there was no trace of tension in his eyes.

Seeing his calmness, Su Qin's sharp eyes showed more bitterness.

"Don't think that the entry test is a child's play."

He waved his hand to make the younger brother, who was holding two wooden boxes, stop by his side. He looked deeply at Ding Ning, and said slowly: "Every year, more than a thousand children from various clans come here from Changling and other big cities to participate in the entrance examination. , and these people are considered excellent everywhere, otherwise they would not rush here to embarrass themselves. However, among all these people, there are only a few dozen who have passed the test. So I hope you can be more serious and careful."

Nangong Caishu took a deep breath, and his face became a little ugly again.

Su Qin's words sounded like a reminder, but in this case they were almost threatening, and it was easy for the test takers to become nervous.

According to her usual personality, she definitely couldn't help but want to say a few words at this time, but thinking of Ding Ning's words just now, she forcibly held back.

The worry on Zhang Yi's face was also thicker. He couldn't help but turn around and look at the palaces in Baiyang Cave behind him, thinking that the trouble is getting bigger and bigger. At this time, why is there no one Someone come out to stop it

However, at this time, Ding Ning looked at Su Qin and smiled slightly, "Can we start?"

Su Qin's face remained unchanged, but his dislike for Ding Ning became stronger and stronger.

His eyebrows were raised slightly, and he said calmly: "Since you are so impatient, let's start right away."

With two soft creaking sounds, the old wooden box was opened.

The main show has already begun, and everyone is a little nervous.

Inside one of the wooden boxes was a flat ashlar plate.

Inside the ashlar plate are circles of labyrinth-like spiral grooves. In these spiral grooves, there are at least hundreds of tiny gray stone beads. Just because of a slight vibration, these unusually smooth tiny gray stone beads are on the stone plate. It rolled like flowing water, forming many gray trickles that flowed endlessly.

In another wooden box, there is a piece of flesh-colored jade, carved into a small terracotta warrior. The terracotta warrior holds a sword in his hand and stretches straight to the side, although the face of the terracotta warrior is not carved. However, this posture of standing upright and swinging the sword has the charm of the swordsman of the Great Qin Dynasty, straight and sharp, and goes forward indomitably.

"This is a flow stone plate, because the texture of the stone plate is like annual rings, and the flow of stone beads is like flowing water, so it is also called an annual ring water plate. Because the material of the stone plate and stone beads is somewhat special, it is slightly Vibration can make these stone beads flow inside, but the flow speed is not constant."

When the two wooden boxes were opened, just like when he presided over some entrance examinations in the past, Su Qin first reached out and tapped the stone plate, and said slowly and coldly: "The first pass to become a practitioner is to meditate and enter concentration. Only when you can meditate and have no distracting thoughts in your mind, can you enter meditation and feel the five qi in your body. This stone plate, the first thing you should pay attention to is meditation. Among all these stone beads, there are five stone beads that are more The other stone beads are smaller, but this small... is only a very small difference, so only those who meditate can pick them out. For this test, according to the rules of our Aries Cave, you can pick out five beads, as long as If three of them are indeed picked correctly, it can be considered qualified.”

Hearing Su Qin's slow narration, many students in the field couldn't help but recall that when they faced this stone plate, they couldn't control their breathing and became a little short of breath.

The difference between those five stone beads and the rest of the stone beads is indeed very small, even if they are placed on the flat white paper at the same time, they may not be able to distinguish quickly. One hundred percent sure it will pass.

In the big tests they had seen in the past, more than half of the candidates were eliminated directly in front of this stone plate.

When the wooden box is unfolded, it becomes a natural support.

This stone plate was placed on the bracket and placed in front of Ding Ning.

Ding Ning ignored the strange eyes of everyone around him. He stared at the stone plate with some hesitation in his eyes.

In fact, he is already a practitioner of the second realm, and as a second realm, he can kill a practitioner like Song Shenshu. He is not an ordinary practitioner. So at this moment, what he is hesitant about is naturally not the flowing stone beads themselves, but the method and result to pass the entry test of Aries Cave.

Because today is the first step for him to formally appear in the eyes of many people in Changling.

This first step will determine his future posture, and the way he will practice in Baiyang Cave in the future.

He has kept a low profile in the streets of Changling for many years.

His current real cultivation level is still very low, and Changsun Qianxue even expressed strong dissatisfaction with this matter, because in his and Changsun Qianxue's plan, it would have been a long time before he reached this point.

It's just that the flowers on his wall are blooming more and more, and there are many people like Song Shenshu, who are enjoying a very comfortable life, but some people are living without ghosts, and some people, every day Soaking in murky sewage.

"I have to be more careful... be careful not to let anyone discover the nine-dead silkworm... find the eldest grandson Qianxue... be careful not to die..."

He took a deep breath and repeated the words in his mind, and then all the hesitation in his eyes disappeared.

In the midst of gasps and exclamations of disbelief, he stretched out his hand.

At this time, from the time the stone plate came to rest in front of him until he stretched out his hand, it was only a few dozen breaths.

His hand cut off the fine gray stream, and from it he took five gray talc beads.
