Chapter 429 The Second Epic
After completing the test of the first group of teenagers and arranging various matters for the three selected disciples, Wang Zhifan put away the Dark Tower and returned to the main hall. In the middle of the day, he went to the inner hall to see the six Confucian scholars who had been favored by him for a long time.
As he suspected, none of the six people who loved painting came out to look for him during this period. It was indeed because they were obsessed with the painting he left behind, which was the "photo of the six".
When he entered the inner hall, he could hear them still discussing the characteristics of this painting intensely, and some people took out blank drawing paper and wanted to imitate it.
"No, no, brother, although your painting skills are good, there are obvious differences from the one left by Wu Zun. The brushstrokes in his painting are more delicate..."
"Everyone, I tried to draw another one with Confucian style. It looks somewhat similar, but apart from the color, other aspects are also a little wrong..."
"Wuzun's portrait is not Everything is clear, and there are some spots The placement is relatively blurry, such as the gaps between the figures..."
...
When Wang Zhifan walked into the inner hall, these people suddenly stopped their discussion and turned to look at him. , surrounded him and launched an offensive of questioning.
Wang Zhifan understood what they would ask without them opening their mouths, so he immediately waved his hand as he had expected it and repeated what he had said to layman Qingfeng.
The basic meaning is that he doesn't understand the art of painting. This painting skill is just a mysterious method. He can use it but doesn't understand the specific principles. Even if he wants to teach them, he can't do it, because the strange person he met at the beginning just pointed his forehead directly. The Dharma was passed on to him, but it was not taught from scratch.
"What a pity! Seeing such a mysterious painting technique but not being able to learn it! What a pity in life!"
"Your Excellency Wu Zun, since you don't know the art of painting, can this painting be used? Leave it to me? I still want to take it back to study it carefully, otherwise it will be too much trouble to stay here. "
"If you like it, just take it away! I believe that with your talents, it won't take long to decipher its secret!"
"Haha! I will take it away with you! Let’s go back to the Confucian Academy and continue to think about it!”
"Your Excellency Wu Zun, we are so obsessed with the art of painting that we have almost forgotten the business! This is a book given by the master himself, which can suppress evil villains. It is a gift from our Confucian sect to you to open the palace!"
" Such a great courtesy, I really deserve it!"
......
After some exchanges, these Confucian disciples brought by Qingfeng layman left Wuzun Hall with Wang Zhifan's "paintings" and returned them to Wang Zhifan. He left a nice congratulatory gift.
【Jun Shu (Epic)】
[This is written by the famous Confucian scholar known as the Master. It tells how a person can cultivate himself to become an upright gentleman. But in addition to its humanistic value, it also possesses some magical powers. 】
【Suppressing Evil: Master's words have their own majestic righteousness. It is difficult for evil beings to come within a hundred feet of this book. If they approach forcefully, they will be suppressed or even destroyed by the righteousness. Only those who are particularly powerful Only evil beings can resist this effect. 】
[Punishment: Master writes like a god, and every word contains his deep understanding of the way of a gentleman. If a person strays far away from the way of a gentleman, then you can use this book to punish him, punish him. The intensity of the punishment depends on the person's fault. After punishment, there is a certain probability that the person will change his ways and return to his rightful ways. 】
【Great Luck: Master's cultivation reaches the sky, and his autographed works also have great power. When you place this book at the core of a group organization, it can inherit the organization's luck and make it prosperous. Develop and turn bad luck into good luck. 】
At this moment, at the entrance of the main hall of Wuzun Hall, six Confucian scholars had left in the air. Wang Zhifan was holding a plain-looking dark blue book with thread binding in his hand, which he had just obtained from the Confucian scholar. The congratulatory gift "Jun Shu".
"I didn't expect that Master would give me an epic poem...I was really lucky today. I got two epic poems without doing anything..."
Wang Zhifan briefly looked through the book written by Master. It must be said that he was shocked by Master's words at first sight. Not only in terms of literary talent, but also every word made him feel the art and vicissitudes of life, as if he was reading a master's classic that has lasted for thousands of years.
“Since this book can suppress luck and evil, then it should be placed on the bookcase in the main hall to serve as a starting point... I don’t know if the Taoist saints will have any objections to this.”
Thought. After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan still used this book to suppress the Wuzun Palace in accordance with the Confucian gift idea. However, he turned around and saw the statue of the saint in the Wuzun Palace. He felt that this behavior might be unnecessary, so he chose to give this book to the Wuzun Palace. Sealed inside the bookcase, there is a priority order.
Afterwards, he returned to the inner hall and continued to practice the Pure Yang True Kung Fu. As soon as he started, he felt a huge boost of help in his practice, as if someone was teaching him the Kung Fu, and the effect was remarkable. He realized that the Panlong Jade Pendant presented by the Dragon Girl was indeed well-deserved.
Of course, this almost exaggerated effect is only because his level of Pure Yang True Skill is still very low. According to the description of the Panlong Jade Pendant, once his level of practice is high, this bonus effect will gradually weaken.
After about another cup of tea, Wang Zhifan, who was practicing at high speed, sensed that the dragon girl was returning from the outside, so he went out of the inner hall to greet her.
When he saw the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword in the main hall who had returned from trying out the sword, the woman told him that she was interested in the red sword and the purple sword among the four swords, which are the fire element and the purple sword. Thunder Elf Blade.
"Sister Long Dao, didn't I tell you? These four knives are all yours! You don't have to give them back to me!"
Wang Zhifan was speechless in person. He had already I told this woman that four knives were given to her, but she turned out to be a bit stubborn.
"Taoist Master, I have tried them outside. These four knives are all extraordinary and well-deserved masterpieces! I am lucky to get two of them. I dare not ask for more. Please give them to Taoist Master." Give these two magic weapons to those who need them more!"
After hearing this, the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword still resolutely handed over the ice and wind elf blades. It can be seen that she does not dislike the unselected weapons, but She thinks that they are all very strong, and leaving them to eat dust in her hands is a bit burying the magic weapon.
"Okay, okay! I will take these two back for now. One day if you feel like changing your weapons, come back to me and take them back."
Seeing this, Wang Zhifan had no choice but to He took back the blue and cyan excellent level elf blades and gave instructions to the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword. "Well... I'll go find a place to familiarize myself with these two knives, and I'll come back to the Taoist Master for a test in two days."
The Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword returned the weapon and left quickly. He looked like he wanted to use the thunder and fire swords to kill the demon to practice his skills, but did not chat more with Wang Zhifan.
Looking at her unparalleled figure leaving quickly, Wang Zhifan couldn't help but fell into deep thought:
"Why is this woman always thinking about competing with me? I've given her weapons and why not?" If you are willing to let me go, then I am not sponsoring my opponent? A severe beating? "
Wang Zhifan is not very clear about the strength of the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword, but he has seen this woman's True Spirit Form of the Azure Dragon with his own eyes and knows that it is no joke. He himself If you don't use the ability to press the bottom of the box, it is likely that you won't be able to handle it.
He is not afraid of this woman's challenge. He mainly feels that it is unnecessary. The relationship between the two parties is obviously not bad. It is hard to say how far the fight will go. If there is a real fight, it will definitely consume a lot of money. , which is quite detrimental to his subsequent battle with the demon.
"Seeing as she is the sensible type, she shouldn't go too far...otherwise I will use some means to suppress her."
After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan quietly took back the two swords in his hands. Black Tower, and then went to the busy area on the other side of the hall, where the goatee Taoist Xuan Zhenzi was still busy.
He has already seen that the second batch of students in the hall has reached a certain scale, and it will soon be time for him to start a new batch of tests.
Different from the previous batch, this group of people has additional advantages.
Because they had already learned about the content of the test from the previous teenagers, and based on the test experience of many people, they compiled a set of clearance strategies.
At this moment, in a corner of the hall, the elders of those young people were instructing their children in lower voices how to deal with the test.
"Cong'er, remember, there will be a low mountain when you enter that place. Don't climb the mountain directly. First find a secret passage at the foot of the mountain that leads to the top of the mountain..."
" Boy, do you remember the demons? They are the monsters we encountered outside the city. You will encounter one later in the test. Hey, you must not panic, find the weapon behind that thing and kill it..."
"As far as I know, Lord Wu Zun prefers calm and calm disciples, so when you encounter the test, Never lose your position after your opponent..."
...
Wang Zhifan listened to the reactions of this second group of people from a long distance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Haha... these people think I haven't considered the situation of information disclosure? Don't be too naive! Every round of my tests is not exactly the same! Although the qualifications tested are the same, but The form is completely different! There are seven or eight variations of a test template alone, and the template There are even five basic types of boards. If they follow the script, they will definitely be cheated!"
It turns out that this situation was completely expected by Wang Zhifan, and he was about to let the second batch of students experience it. It will not be the test of climbing mountains and fighting monsters as these parents thought, but a completely different routine!
Many parents who want their children to copy the answers may find that they have become one of the deceivers, but this is what Wang Zhifan is happy to see.
Because he does not want his disciples to be the kind of people who believe whatever their elders say. The ability to make independent judgments and the ability to adapt to changing situations are necessary qualities for a martial artist. He will screen out this part through tests. people.
So from that day until the evening, Wang Zhifan spent most of his time presiding over the Black Tower Trial, in addition to practicing Pure Yang True Kung Fu.
After the initial screening of age and talent, young people in the round entered the black tower with the so-called guidance in mind, only to find that the situation they faced was not what their elders said at all. Then most of them faced a huge psychological gap, and a handful of them created miracles.
This situation was especially obvious in the second round of the Black Tower test. Out of a hundred teenagers, only one barely passed the test and was accepted by Wang Zhifan.
Wang Zhifan later learned about this young man that because his elders were more intelligent, he predicted that the second test might be different from the first, and his guidance was based on the overall idea. , so he didn't fall into a state of confusion as soon as he entered the test like other teenagers.
Starting from the third round, the subsequent rounds were much better. The parents of the teenagers basically figured out the test routines and knew that the previous tests could only be used as a reference, so they did not do too much to their children. The rigid guidance made their performance relatively normal. Wang Zhifan basically accepted three to five disciples every round.
As a result, by the time Wuzun Palace stopped accepting disciples in the evening, Wang Zhifan had about fifty disciples under his name.
Most of these teenagers are natives of Tianyuan City. After being tested and selected by Wang Zhifan, it would be an exaggeration to say that they are all martial arts geniuses, but it is basically no problem to say that they are children with talent for martial arts.
After all, those who meet the requirements for martial arts training in terms of birth, age, character and personality are already almost at the level of one in a hundred. With Wang Zhifan’s current plan, he can only ask so high. If he is too harsh, he I'm afraid not a single disciple can receive it.
“I will recruit a few more waves of disciples in the days to come, and I will stop when the number of people reaches two hundred.”
Wang Zhifan decided to adopt a strategy of stacking up, rather than more of this. The elite cultivation strategy recognized by Fang Shijie.
It's not that he doesn't like cultivating elites, but that it's difficult for him to receive true geniuses under the current conditions.
The most talented children in the world have long been surrounded by the three paths of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, and the power of the three paths is even more recognized by the world. Even if the geniuses are allowed to choose, they will basically go to the three paths. , it was not his turn for this so-called martial master who suddenly popped up to get involved.
As for the educational problems caused by the accumulation, he is uniquely equipped to deal with them. He doesn’t have to worry at all. That is the omnipotent Black Tower!
The Black Tower, a legendary prop, can be said to be the most suitable for cultivating talents. It has a highly customizable tower climbing mechanism, mass-produced reward feedback, and insurance measures such as detailed settings and illusions. , it is simply a treasure land for cultivation that martial arts practitioners never dream of.
Wang Zhifan plans to let the Black Tower take on most of his teaching tasks, that is, after focusing on teaching the disciples basic things, let them regularly enter the Black Tower for training.
At the beginning, it may be a fantasy level to avoid accidents. Later, when the disciples become somewhat proficient, they will adopt a real combat mode, but a series of detailed settings will be made to ensure the basic safety of the disciples.
And he will pay special attention to the opponents arranged for these disciples. All enemy models for training will be collected from this world, mainly various demons, demon generals and even demon lords, with some aspects of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. human enemies to ensure that the skills developed by his disciples in extensive training have a high degree of practical significance.
