"The Baiyun Taoist Temple's ten-year meeting to recruit mortal disciples to cultivate immortals begins at the beginning of this month and ends at the 15th of this month. All men and women who have not married at the age of 16 can participate." While Chen Wei was grabbing food with a black dog, he suddenly heard a deafening voice in the air, and the voice reverberated in the air.
"Chen Xun, are you grabbing food with Xiao Hei again?" A tender voice came from behind Chen Xun, and then a sweet potato appeared in front of Chen Xun. Behind the sweet potato was a 16-year-old woman.
Chen Wei kicked Xiao Hei away. "No, I'm just studying whether Xiao Hei's teeth are loose, hey hey." The honest and honest voice came from the black and thin boy's mouth.
"Come on, I took it out of the house secretly. After eating this, I'm afraid you won't see me again. My father said that he asked me to attend the annual Baiyun Taoist Temple Apprenticeship Convention. He has already prepared my luggage for me. I only have a little spare time. I thought you should have nothing to eat before I stole a sweet potato from home. It's said that the entrance test is very difficult, but I will never give up. If I pass the test, I will be an immortal in the future. Our family's position here will rise, and my parents will not have to look at my uncle's face and act. But after becoming an immortal, you can't communicate with mortals, so you should take good care of Xiao Hei in the future. Don't always rob him of food. I'm going. "
The barrage of words stimulated Chen's hearing, leaving him no chance to interrupt. The fact is that he doesn't like to talk at all. He usually only talks with some cats and dogs. The most talkative person is Xiao Hei who was kicked away by him just now, followed by Chu Xue who is far away.
With some hot sweet potatoes in his hand, Chen Xun was very sad when he looked at Chu Xue who was far away. Every time when he was hungry and was about to die, Chu Xue sent him some food to help him through the crisis. Today, the lucky star in his life is going away to be a fairy, so he can't be more sad.
If his parents were around, he would definitely let him attend the reception, but he had no parents since he was young, and he was raised by a kind grandma. But when he was eight years old, his grandmother died, leaving him alone and becoming an orphan. Every day, he shuttled around the streets to grab dog food and pick up leftovers from others.
In the winter when he was 10 years old, because of the cold weather, Chen Zan was not allowed to curl up on the street corner. His body was covered with ragged firewood and only a small head was exposed outside. When he was sleepy, an angel like face appeared in front of him.
"Hey, you are not dead yet. I have a pancake here. You can eat it." A young voice reached Chen Xun's ears. It was by this pancake that we survived the cold winter. Later, Chen Qian learned that she was the daughter of Chu's bakery on the corner, named Chu Xue.
From then on, Chu Xue would give Chen Qian some food every three days or two, or pancakes, or sweet potatoes, or steamed buns. So Chu Xue is a lifesaving straw, a beacon in life, and an unreachable star for Chen Qian. He always hoped that Chu Xue would fall from the sky when he was hungry and throw him some food. It seems that this small wish will never be realized from now on.
Chen Xun stood there like a sculpture, even the sweet potato in his hand was taken away by Xiao Hei, who was kicked away by him. He didn't notice. His eyes were always looking at the direction of Chu Xue's disappearance, and so he stood all night.
When the sun rose again, Chen Qian made the boldest decision in his life. He would go to the reception meeting of Baiyun Taoist Temple to find his little wish.
Chen Qian followed the crowd who went to Baiyun Temple to attend the gathering. During the day he ran desperately, and at night he slept on the grass beside the road. It took him seven days to get to Baiyun Temple from where Chen Qian was. When he arrived at Baiyun Temple, it was already the 13th of this month, and the gathering would be over in two days.
According to the admission practice of Baiyun Temple, those who attend the admission meeting must be recommended and pay a certain fee. But Chen has no money and no recommendation letter at all. He can only stand outside the Baiyun Temple and watch the selection in full swing.
Through observation outside the Baiyun Temple, Chen Qian felt that if he participated, he would definitely win the first place. There are five items in the selection. The first is physical strength, the second is vision, the third is speed, the fourth is perseverance, and the fifth is perseverance. If you pass any three of these five items, you can become a registered disciple of Baiyun Taoist Temple, but these three items must include the first and second items. If you pass the four events, you will have the opportunity to become a private disciple. If you pass all five events, you will become a personal disciple and be taught by one of the three masters of Baiyun Temple. But Chen can only watch helplessly, watching one by one be eliminated, and one by one re participate.
So Chen Zan stood outside Baiyun Temple for a whole day.
"See the Immortal Snow Mountain and the Immortal Cloud Sea" guards of Baiyun Temple saw the Immortal Snow Mountain and the Immortal Cloud Sea walking out of the temple one after another.
"Third Younger Martial Brother, why do you think the physique of ordinary people is so poor now? The first ten thousand meter race is impossible." The Snow Mountain Immortal sighed.
"Second Elder Martial Brother, you may not know that the living conditions of ordinary people are getting better and better now, and naturally they seldom exercise. It is estimated that few people will pass such intensive selection. Do we need to lower our standards, or we may not be able to recruit apprentices?"
"This matter should be discussed with the eldest brother. After all, this standard has been implemented for hundreds of years, and we have no right to change it."
Two real people were standing at the gate of Baiyun Temple, talking about the origin of ordinary people one by one.
Chen Qian was worried about being unable to enter. Hearing the two Immortals sighing, he summoned up his courage and went to the two Immortals and knelt on his knees. "Two immortals, if I pass these five examinations, can I be taken as an apprentice?"
The two real people in question were suddenly shocked by the words of a kneeling mortal. The mortal was black and thin, as if a strong wind could blow him out two miles away.
"What's your name?" asked the Snow Mountain Immortal.
"Mortal Chen Wen."
"Chen Wei, do you think you can pass these five examinations?"
"Tell the Immortal that I have been watching outside the door for a whole day. I think I can pass if I take part in it. Please ask the Immortal to let me participate."
"How can you be so confident? Do you know that it's easier to say than to do it? It's so exaggerated at a young age. I'm afraid there won't be much success in the future. You'd better go back where you came from. This is not where you should come from," said Yunhai Immortal.
"Two immortals, I don't lie, let me participate. If I can't pass the examination, I will kill myself in front of the two immortals." Chen Wei also thought that if he really can't pass the examination, he really has no way to live, so he must pass, and he must also pass if he goes to die.
"Little doll, it seems that if we don't agree with you because you are so determined, it's OK. You will come with me later and I will let you participate. But don't forget what you said, you must pass the examination. As for your life, I'm not interested in it," said Snow Mountain Immortal.
"Thank you very much, thank you very much, immortal" Chen Qian couldn't stop kowtowing to thank him.
At this time, the guard next to him came to the Snow Mountain Immortal, "Snow Mountain Immortal, he has no recommendation letter and no contest fee"
"Well, it seems that he is so sincere. Let's make an exception for him. Take him to prepare. I will go back to see how he passed the examination," said Xue Shan. Then he and Yunhai Immortal entered the Baiyun Temple again.
"Now that the Snow Mountain Immortal has spoken, I will obey." After the guard said, he turned to look at Chen Wei. "You are lucky. Since I came here to guard, you are the first person who can participate in the assessment without a letter of recommendation and participation fees. You should cherish it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once you become an immortal, you will have a bright future. Let's go and I will take you to register."
Chen Qian followed the guard to the examination and registration office, where he waited for his name to be called. Chen Qian was No. 299, and now it is No. 288. He failed the first item and walked past Chen Qian with his head bowed.
289 passed two events, but was eliminated.
No. 290 and No. 291 also passed two events and were eliminated.
On 293, Zhao Xing passed four events, which caused an uproar in Baiyun Temple.
It was Chu Xue on 294, and she also passed the four events.
295, 296, and 297 passed only two,
298 is the same as 288, and none of them passed
"No. 299 Chen Xun" shouted the shouting staff.
Chen Qian answered quickly. After a series of examinations, the sound examination passed the sound examination
"No. 299 Chen Qian passed the physical examination."
"No. 299 Chen Wen passed the eye test."
"No. 299 Chen Xun passed the speed assessment."
"No. 299 Chen Qian passed the fixed strength assessment."
"No. 299 Chen Qian passed the perseverance assessment."
"No. 299 Chen Qian passed all the examinations, and he is the first mortal to pass all the examinations this year," the examiner shouted.
The people in Baiyun Temple have been boiling.
Chu Xue, who passed the four examinations, felt a little familiar when she heard the name of Chen Wei. When she saw Chen Wei taking part in the examination, she couldn't help thinking about it for a while. It was really him. He actually followed.
"Unexpectedly, the doll Chen Wei really passed all the examinations," said the Immortal Cloud Sea to the Immortal Snow Mountain.
"I hope he can only pass 4 items, so that I can take him as an apprentice. Unexpectedly, he has passed all of them. It seems that I have no relationship with him."
"Yes, according to the regulations of the temple, the first place should pay homage to the temple master. What a good young man!" Immortal Yunhai began to regret.
"Maybe there are others who can also pass the five examinations?" Taoist Yun Hai added.
"There is still one day to go, and everyone who can attend will attend, but I have a crush on 294, and I decided to take her as an apprentice. You won't earn money with me, will you?" said Snow Mountain Immortal.
"That little girl is not bad, but since the second elder martial brother has taken a fancy to me, I can't win people's love. I'll choose Zhao Xing, No. 293," said the Immortal Cloud Sea.
Before the examination was over, the two immortals began to choose disciples for themselves.
