Chapter 429 The Second Epic
After completing the test of the first batch of teenagers and arranging various matters for the three selected disciples, Wang Zhifan put away the pitch-black tower and returned to the main hall, going to the inner hall to meet the six Confucian scholars who had been delayed for a long time.
As he guessed, none of the six people who loved painting came out to find him during this period, because they were indeed obsessed with the painting he left behind, that is, the "six-person photo".
When he entered the inner hall, he could hear that they were still discussing the characteristics of the painting fiercely, and someone took out a blank drawing paper to imitate it.
"No, no, brother, although your painting skills are good, there is a clear difference between your painting and the one left by Wu Zun. His painting is more delicate..."
"Everyone, I tried to draw another one with the Confucian style. It looks somewhat similar, but apart from the color, other aspects are a bit wrong..."
"Not all parts of Wu Zun's portrait are clear. Some parts are relatively blurred, such as the gaps in the portrait..."
...
When Wang Zhifan walked into the inner hall, these people suddenly stopped discussing, turned their heads to look at him, surrounded him, and launched an offensive of questions.
Wang Zhifan knew what they would ask without them saying anything, so he immediately waved his hand and repeated what he had said to Qingfeng Layman.
The basic meaning is that he does not understand the way of painting. This skill of painting is just a mysterious method. He can use it but does not understand the specific principles. Even if he wants to teach them, he can't do it, because the strange man he met at the beginning directly passed on the method to him by pointing at his forehead, and did not teach from the beginning.
"What a pity! Seeing such a profound art of painting but not being able to learn it! It's really a pity in life!"
"Mr. Wu Zun, since you don't know how to paint, can you leave this painting to us? We want to take it back and study it carefully, otherwise it will be a hindrance to stay here."
"If you like it, just take it away! I believe that with your talents, it won't take long to crack its secrets!"
"Haha! In this case, this calligraphy will be taken away by this layman! Let's go back to the Confucian Academy to continue thinking about it!"
"Mr. Wu Zun, we are obsessed with the art of painting and almost forget the main business! This is a book given by the master, which can suppress evil and scoundrels. It is the opening gift of my Confucian school to you!"
"Such a heavy gift, I am really unworthy of it!"
...
After some exchanges, these Confucianists brought by Layman Qingfeng left the Wu Zun Hall with Wang Zhifan's "paintings" and left Wang Zhifan a decent gift.
[The Book of the Lord (Epic)]
[This is written by a famous Confucian scholar called Confucius. It tells how a person can cultivate himself to become a gentleman who stands tall and upright. In addition to its humanistic value, it also has some magical powers. ]
[Suppressing evil: Confucius's writings are full of majestic and righteous spirit. Evil beings cannot get close to this book within a hundred feet. If they force themselves to get close, they will be suppressed or even destroyed by the righteous spirit. Only extremely powerful evil beings can resist this effect. ]
[Punishment: Confucius's writing is like a god. Every word contains his profound understanding of the way of a gentleman. If a person strays from the way of a gentleman, he can be punished by this book. The intensity of the punishment depends on his fault. After the punishment, there is a certain probability that he will turn from evil to good. ]
[Great Luck: Confucius's cultivation is unparalleled, and his handwritten works also have great power. When you place this book at the core of a group organization, it can inherit the luck of the organization, making it prosperous and turning danger into fortune. 】
At this moment, at the entrance of the Wuzun Hall, six Confucian scholars had already left, and Wang Zhifan was holding a dark blue-covered thread-bound book in his hand, which looked ordinary. It was the gift "Jun Shu" he had just received from the Confucian scholars.
"I didn't expect the master to give me an epic... I'm really lucky today. I didn't do anything but got two epics..."
Wang Zhifan simply flipped through the master's handwritten work. He had to say that he was shocked by the master's words at first sight. Not only in terms of literary talent, but every word made him feel artistic and vicissitudes, as if he was flipping through a master's classic that had gone through thousands of years.
"Since this book can suppress luck and evil, it will be placed in the bookcase in the hall to play a starting role... I don't know if the Taoist saints will have any objections to this."
After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan still used this book to suppress the Wuzun Hall according to the Confucian gift-giving mentality, but when he turned around and saw the statue of the saint in the Wuzun Hall, he felt that this behavior might be unnecessary, so he chose to seal the book in the bookcase, with a primary and secondary order.
Afterwards, he returned to the inner hall to continue practicing Pure Yang True Art. At the beginning, he felt a huge boost in his practice, as if someone was teaching him the art. The effect was remarkable, which made him realize that the Panlong Jade Pendant given by the Dragon Girl was indeed worthy of its reputation.
Of course, this almost exaggerated effect was only because his Pure Yang True Art realm was still very low. According to the description of the Panlong Jade Pendant, once his realm of practice was high, this bonus effect would gradually weaken.
After about a cup of tea, Wang Zhifan, who was practicing at high speed, sensed that the Dragon Girl had returned from outside, so he went out of the inner hall to greet her.
When he saw the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword that had returned from the trial in the hall, the girl told him that she was interested in the Red Sword and the Purple Sword among the four swords, that is, the Fire and Thunder Spirit Blades.
"Sister Dragon Sword, didn't I say it? These four swords are all yours! You don't have to give them back to me!"
Wang Zhifan was speechless in person. He had already told this woman that he would give her four knives, 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 Blade resolutely handed over the ice and wind elf blades. It could be seen that she did not dislike the unselected weapons, but thought that they were very strong, and leaving them to gather dust in her hands would bury the magic weapon.
"Okay, okay! I'll take these two back for now. If you feel like changing your weapons someday, come back to me and take them back."
Seeing this, Wang Zhifan had no choice but to take 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 get familiar with these two knives, and then 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 peerless 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 she still refuses to let me go, so haven't I helped my opponent? Is she about to get a beating?"
Wang Zhifan is not very clear about the strength of the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword at the moment, 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 may not be able to handle it without using his best skills. .
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 be a lot of consumption. The human battle is quite disadvantageous.
"Seeing as she is the sensible type, she shouldn't go too far...otherwise I will use some means to suppress her."
After thinking for a while, Wang Zhifan quietly took back the two swords in his hands into the 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 experience of many people in the test, 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..."
"Baby, do you still remember the demons? They are the monsters we encountered outside the city. You will encounter one in the test later. You must not panic. Find the weapon behind that thing and kill it..."
"According to what I know so far, His Excellency Wu Zun prefers calm and calm disciples, so you must not mess up your position after meeting your opponents in the test..."
…
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... do these people think I haven't considered the disclosure of information? Don't be too naive! Every round of my tests is not exactly the same! Although the qualifications tested are the same, the format is completely different! There are seven or eight variations of a test template alone, and there are five basic types of templates. They will definitely be fooled if they follow the script! "
It turns out that this situation was completely expected by Wang Zhifan. What he is about to let the second batch of students experience 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 doesn't 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 group of people through tests.
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 a preliminary screening of age and talent, young people 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. Most of the gaps ended in failure, while a very few created miracles.
This situation was especially obvious in the second round of the Black Tower test. Only one of a hundred teenagers barely passed the test and was accepted by Wang Zhifan.
According to Wang Zhifan’s later understanding of this young man, it was because his elders were more intelligent and predicted that the second test would be different from the first. Their guidance to him was based on overall thinking, so he did not Like other teenagers, he fell into a state of confusion as soon as he entered the test.
Starting from the third round, the following 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 give too much rigid guidance to their children, which made Their performance was relatively normal. Wang Zhifan basically accepted three to five disciples in 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 locals in Tianyuan City. After Wang Zhifan's test and selection, it is definitely an exaggeration to say that they are all martial arts geniuses, but it is basically no problem to say that they are children with martial arts talent.
After all, people whose birth, age, physique and personality qualifications meet the requirements of martial arts are almost one in a hundred. With Wang Zhifan's current plan, he can only ask for such a high standard. If he is too demanding, he may not be able to accept a single disciple.
"I will accept several more waves of disciples in the future, and I will stop when there are about 200 people."
Wang Zhifan currently decided to adopt a stacking strategy instead of an elite training strategy that is more recognized by this world.
This is not that he does not like to train elites, but it is difficult for him to receive truly talented teenagers under the current conditions.
The most talented children in this world have long been monopolized by the three paths of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, and the three paths are more powerful and recognized by the world. Even if the geniuses are allowed to choose for themselves, they will basically go to the three paths, and it is not his turn as a so-called martial arts master who suddenly popped up to get involved.
As for the education problems caused by the accumulation of quantity, he has a unique coping condition, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all, that is the omnipotent Black Tower!
The Black Tower, a legendary item, can be said to be the most suitable for cultivating talents. It can be highly customized to climb the tower mechanism, mass-produced reward feedback, and detailed settings and illusions and other insurance measures. It is simply a treasure land for cultivation that martial artists dare not 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 the basics, let them regularly enter the Black Tower for training.
At the beginning, it may still be a fantasy level to avoid accidents. When the disciples have a little level, they will adopt the 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 training enemy models will be collected from this world, mainly various demons, demon generals and even demon lords, with some human enemies from Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, to ensure that the skills his disciples have acquired in a large amount of training have a high degree of practical significance.
