Chapter 9 Breaking the Deadlock
After a moment, Zhang Sheng finally looked up and asked, "Isn't there another internal review? What is the standard this time?"
Sun Yu said, "The internal review only looks at the unified examination results. I heard that this year's standard is five points up or down. There is room for maneuver within five points, and there is no mercy beyond five points."
Zhang Sheng said, "In other words, as long as Yuan'er scores five points more than the fourth place, there will be a place."
"That's basically it."
Zhang Sheng tapped the armrest lightly, and the rules, the background of all the candidates, Wei Yuan's characteristics and strengths, etc. flowed through his mind one by one. His thoughts paused on Wei Yuan's luck, but then shook his head.
Nowadays, there are so many lucks in the world, and the children of wealthy and prestigious families will have some luck. Otherwise, why are they born so well instead of Wei Yuan? Even if they don't have luck themselves, as long as they are born in a wealthy family, someone will naturally take the luck of others to add to them.
So someone said long ago that reincarnation is the first-class luck.
After a moment of deep contemplation, Zhang Sheng came up with a plan and said slowly, "Yuan'er is my personal disciple. For three whole years, I didn't practice Taoism or travel around. I only taught him! He should have no rivals in the literary test. With Yuan'er's foundation and luck, the Taoist test is no problem. The key is the martial test."
Zhang Sheng took a piece of paper, quickly wrote down a formula, handed it to Sun Yu, and said, "Brother, please give this to Yuan'er."
Sun Yu took it and looked at it, and said in surprise, "The Southern Vermillion Bird has no secret formula? This is the luck secret of Tianqing Palace?"
Zhang Sheng said, "Those noble children all have luck, how can they not know the secret of luck? Although the luck secret of my Tianqing Palace is not as good as the "Xingli Pian" of the Four Saints Academy, and even worse than the "Wangliunian" of the Bao family, but these two families are not interested in the Taichu Palace this year, so it is enough to deal with the five families."
Before taking the unified examination, candidates are strictly prohibited from practicing privately to avoid polluting their foundation. But the noble families have their own ways to deal with it, and the secret of luck is one of them. The Qiyun secret technique can draw on one's own Qiyun to bless oneself and transform it into various magical powers, which is not considered cultivation. Although the effect of the secret technique is not great without cultivation, the difference between cultivators and mortals is between those with and without the secret technique in the martial arts test.
Zhang Sheng is a man of his time. He saw at a glance the methods that the powerful families would use in the martial arts test, and immediately made up for Wei Yuan's fatal shortcomings.
Sun Yu held the Southern Vermillion Bird Unknown Secret and said slowly: "When I first entered the sect, I was bullied and insulted by the children of the family. It's a pity that I was cowardly at that time and didn't have the courage to fight back on the spot. Now I think back and still have many regrets. This time, I will take the blame with my junior brother! Why can they do it, but we can't?"
Zhang Sheng said: "Then Yuan'er will be left to my senior brother. I have to go into seclusion now to restore my Taoist power before the end of the martial arts test."
Sun Yu was shocked: "How can this be done! The Liquan powder is very powerful. You must be in seclusion for three days after taking it! If the seclusion time If it is not enough, it may damage the foundation of Taoism! "
Zhang Sheng said calmly: "No matter what those people like, they will take it for granted that it should be theirs. If Yuan'er can break out of the siege, we will get back our things, but those people will only think that Yuan'er is snatching food from their plates. With their temperament, how can they give up? So after Yuan'er finishes the exam, he will probably have a good "reasoning" with them. Such matters should be handled by me as a teacher. "
In the dormitory, Wei Yuan had put the regulations aside, sat at the desk, and recalled what he had learned in the past.
After Li Zhi left, three or four waves of people came to knock on the door, all with similar rhetoric, and these people were far inferior to Li Zhi in terms of momentum and demeanor, so Wei Yuan naturally rejected them all.
In fact, after listening to Li Zhi's words, Wei Yuan understood his situation. Li Zhi's words sounded good, but although Wei Yuan was not very good at military tactics, he could recite history books by heart. Naturally, he knew that once he was incorporated into the military system, he would have no choice but to charge when asked to charge, and to die when asked to die. It sounds good to be the vanguard commander, but when the two armies really clash, if he is not cannon fodder, who else will be cannon fodder?
There is nothing to think about in the military test, just improvise and kill whoever you can. So Wei Yuan silently recited the "Tang History" at this moment, recalling Zhang Sheng's explanation one by one.
In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened, and the door suddenly opened silently. Wei Yuan felt something, so he turned around.
Sun Yu stood at the door, and was a little surprised: this kid has such a keen sense of the spirit!
Wei Yuan recognized Sun Yu, and knew that he was a close friend of his teacher, so he quickly stood up and saluted. Sun Yu handed him a piece of paper and said, "This is the skill your master gave you. Remember
it first. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I can stay for another half a minute." Wei Yuan took the skill and saw that the title was "The Unknown Skill of the Southern Vermillion Bird", followed by a few hundred words of skills. This is a part of the whole secret technique, which is specially used for the stage before practicing, so it is very simple. Wei Yuan basically understood it after reading it once. If there are one or two unclear points, he will ask Sun Yu again, and then he will understand the whole article.
Seeing that Wei Yuan understood the skill, Sun Yu gave a few pointers on the experience of using the Qiyun secret technique, and then left quietly.
As soon as Sun Yu left, Wei Yuan began to practice.
The Southern Vermillion Bird Unknown Secret is a secret technique of the Tianqing Palace. It is good in that its effects are balanced and there are no obvious shortcomings. After the secret technique was run, Wei Yuan felt that some invisible thing in his body was aroused, and it turned into a trickle of warmth that spread throughout his body. Then Wei Yuan felt that the room gradually became brighter, and there was a lot of surging power in his body. He tried to grab the desk and lift it up, and this desk weighing several hundred kilograms was actually lifted up.
Putting down the table, Wei Yuan took a step and moved from one side of the room to the other. Then Wei Yuan tried a few more moves and stopped the secret technique.
All the Qiyun secret techniques are to extract the power of one's own Qiyun as the source of supernatural powers. The skills clearly stated that they cannot be used for a long time, so Wei Yuan stopped the secret technique after trying it. However, after it was over, Wei Yuan felt that the invisible thing in his body did not decrease at all.
Wei Yuan sat cross-legged and carefully experienced the feeling just now. After the blessing of the Southern Vermillion Bird Unknown Secret, the body's functions can be improved in all aspects, and the strength and speed are both increased by about one time. Wei Yuan had extraordinary strength since he was young, and this secret technique was even more powerful.
At that moment, Wei Yuan stopped memorizing history books, and put all his energy into trying to figure out the secret of the Southern Vermillion Bird. He knew very well that this secret was the key to the martial arts test.
There is no sun or moon in the fairy mountain. Between the light and dark of the mountain, it was already the morning of the second day.
Wei Yuan and other candidates were called to the square early and breakfast was distributed. The so-called breakfast is actually a glass of water. After drinking it, you will be full of energy, and your sleepiness and hunger will be swept away.
Then several monks led the candidates out of the dormitory and came to a square. At the end of the square was a hall with twenty jade-colored cushions. There were two incense burners next to each cushion, and light smoke was coming out.
An elderly Taoist walked out of the hall with a stack of white paper in his hand, and then with a flick of his robe sleeve, each candidate had an extra piece of white paper in his hand. When the white paper was in hand, a technique appeared on it.
The old Taoist said in a deep voice: "This is the test formula. You should read it first, and then those who hear their numbers should enter the hall and practice the formula on the designated cushion. This formula can stimulate your destiny and talent, which is the key to the test. You must not be distracted. When you hear the bell, you must immediately stop practicing and leave the hall. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" All the candidates answered in unison.
The old Taoist nodded, stretched out his voice, and said loudly: "The test begins!" His voice was like a crane's cry, reaching high into the sky.
