the next day,
All the disciples of Cihang Jingzhai started another round of cultivation frenzy as if they had been given a shot of blood. This was because they were unwilling to pass the first round. Sun Quan could not remember clearly. This was the first time such a frenzy had broken out in Cihang Jingzhai. In fact, people tend to be lazy. Even a true genius would find it difficult to continue day after day, year after year. Continuous practice, so Sun Quan had to admire Shi Zimiao's skills. At least she had refining her already excellent disciples in a very short period of time. Once the foundation is laid, subsequent growth will surely come naturally, and Shi Zimiao can safely let go of everything and pursue the way of heaven.
The other disciples were practicing with determination and refused to admit defeat. As for Sun Quan and the other nine disciples, they were trying their best to adjust their condition. Although it seems that nothing was done on the first day of selection, in fact, except for Sun Quan and the two talented disciples, everyone else spent a lot of time and most of their energy. This kind of mental loss is completely worth it. It takes two days and two nights without sleep compared to ordinary people.
To be honest, at this point, most people know very well that the new master of Jingzhai will only be chosen among the three people, Sun Quan. The gap between the others is too big and can only be regarded as accomplices. However, Shi Zimiao still followed the principle of fairness and justice and allowed everyone to rest for a whole day. He waited until the third day before starting the second competition.
this day,
Shi Zimiao took the ten disciples who passed the first round of tests, a total of eleven people, to a winding path leading to a secluded place. There was a mountain spring here, forming a small lake. There was a small pavilion on an island in the lake. , there are several simple bamboo houses by the lake, and a tower spire can be vaguely seen in the forest cover not far away. The whole place is so peaceful and peaceful that one can't help but feel that as long as you lie here and do nothing, you can spend the whole day feeling peaceful. Sun Quan's more or less nervous mood has gradually calmed down since entering this area. In his eyes, the scenery here simply surpasses the so-called 5A-level scenic spots in later generations. If there is a chance, Sun Quan will want to go here for vacation every year in the future.
Compared to Sun Quan's pure appreciation of the beautiful scenery, the mentality of other disciples suddenly became unstable. Well, the kind that was originally calm suddenly became excited. After all, Sun Quan is an outsider and does not know much about many places on the Emperor's Treading Peak. Naturally, he does not know that this is the place where the core disciples of Cihang Jingzhai gain enlightenment, and that the tower not far away is the famous Tibetan Temple. The dian tower. Normally, only the masters or elders would come here for retreat when they encounter bottlenecks in their practice. The other disciples were at best lucky enough to look at him with envy from afar. But today, Shi Zimiao actually brought them here. Regardless of the final victory or defeat, this experience alone was enough to make them extremely excited.
However, there is a trace of disharmony in this team.
“Wow~~It’s so beautiful here~~”
Such was the incongruity that many disciples had strange expressions on their faces, and even Sun Quan always felt a little knotty in his heart. That's right, this guy, like Sun Quan, who only cares about admiring the beautiful scenery and has no idea of the significance of this place, is the tenth among the so-called nine winners!
In the first competition, there were nine recognized winners. Sun Quan was recognized as the number one and became the target of public criticism. However, no one expected that ten people would arrive here with Shi Zimiao today. Could it be that Shi Zimiao used the back door to avoid the first round? Of course it's impossible. When this guy appeared, everyone had strange expressions on their faces, but no one questioned it, not even Sun Quan, because in their hearts, they all seemed to think it was natural?
That's right, those who are submitting papers after you are here, why can't the person who is the first to submit papers be here? Who has misled you and made you think that the little girl who handed in the paper first did not pass the test?
It was Sun Quan, as the "recognized" number one, who witnessed all the answers that followed, but he didn't also see the answer of the little girl in front! If you haven't seen other people's insights, how can you deny their achievements?
How careless!
When he thought of what happened that day, Sun Quan felt so ashamed that he wished he could find a way to get in. In fact, judging from the final result, Sun Quan should have thought of this. Shi Zimiao used the sword intention as the assessment point. He caught the sword intention and Diao Chan, whose sword skills were not satisfactory, finally passed. Then, as a disciple of Diao Chan, this little girl, It's entirely possible that she passed because she grasped the sword's intention. The faster she handed in the paper, the more proof she truly understood the sword's intention. At first, the reason why Sun Quan thought that the little girl could not do it was because he thought the answer was definite, and he was the first to rule out the possibility of relying on comprehension to pass. But in fact, everyone after that passed by relying on comprehension. Why did Sun Quan I forgot about that first little girl!
I remember the little girl praising me at that time, "Wow, Uncle Sun, you are so awesome", and I remember my own arrogance at that time. . . . . . Ouch, where can I put this old face?
Sun Quan knew that the little girl definitely didn't do it on purpose, because she didn't think she would pass, and after reading Sun Quan's answers, the little girl would find various flaws in her own answers, so she definitely praised Sun Quan. Also sincere. But the more this happens, the more embarrassed Sun Quan becomes. If you did it on purpose, then I will hate you and call you a scheming bitch. But now, I can’t scold you or hate you. I can only find a trap for myself. Buried!
Fool! I'm really stupid! I also don’t think about it. Although Shi Zimiao didn’t say anything qualified to her, she said it herself. Shi Zimiao gave her guidance, which means that at least she is on the right track!
Of course, being ashamed, Sun Quan just didn't know how to face this little girl for a while. As for the final outcome, Sun Quan, including the other disciples of Cihang Jingzhai, no one would take this little girl who had just started to take seriously. They never thought that this girl would be a rival. In everyone's eyes, she was a true companion and a lucky witness.
Arriving in front of the row of bamboo houses by the lake, Shi Zimiao announced this round of tests.
"This is the second item. We test concentration."
Sun Quan quickly used the make me think twice skill for the first time today.
Time stands still, space is broken,
Think three times about the illusion - the first thought
————Illusion boundary————
Concentration!
Sun Quan was not surprised by this test. To be precise, most people here should have guessed something. Since Shi Zimiao's first item is a test of understanding, it means that Shi Zimiao is actually changing his direction to test his strength. There are so many disciples who have started in order and age. It is indeed unfair to compete directly. The higher the understanding, the higher the potential in the future, but the real winner will not just look at the understanding.
To make full use of your own understanding and to fully develop your potential, you must have concentration. No matter how talented you are, if you are unwilling to learn, or if you spend three days fishing and two days drying nets, you will definitely not achieve any results, let alone set an example for others. Once you become the master of Jingzhai, you will have great power, many trivial matters, and even constant temptations. You must be focused, firm in your beliefs, and not affected by the outside world, so that you can continue step by step!
Therefore, the second item is to test concentration.
However, although everyone has more or less guessed which aspect will be tested, the specific test method depends on how Shi Zimiao sets the questions.
