Today's practice assessment will be conducted. In the morning, everyone will inspect the Taoist rituals, and in the afternoon, the two parties will conduct a test on their cultivation.
In fact, the scope of Taoist rituals is very wide. There are address etiquette, fighting etiquette, and practice etiquette. Generally, I will choose one. This time, I picked the shooting ceremony.
After the exams in Zheju House and Wenzhu House were completed one by one, they retired to watch the ceremony, and the four rooms of Lanxin Pavilion came forward.
"Twenty-two people in one room, hold their bows and march out!"
Everyone in the room found their own targets. Zhan Changfeng stood still and drew out his arrow. Suddenly, there was a sarcastic laugh from the side, but Yu Zhihuai squeezed out Li Baimao and stared at her coldly.
Zhan Changfeng didn't take it too seriously and just checked the arrow's aim.
Li Baimao, who was squeezed out, was angry, "What are you doing? There are so many empty seats and you are still trying to grab them!"
"I want to be here, you go away." Yu Zhihuai glanced at him and regarded him as if he was nothing.
"I arrived first, why should I be allowed to go aside while you grab the spot?!"
The referee shouted sternly, "Why don't you stand up quickly over there?"
Li Baimao stared at Yu Zhihuai who was playing with his bow and arrow, and had no choice but to hold his breath and find another empty seat.
Yu Sheng, who noticed the movement, looked here with a bit of worry in his eyes.
"Why did Yu Zhihuai find Yi Zhan?" Han Zhigao felt quite surprised. Except for the fact that she had messed up his face a few months ago, the two of them had never interacted with each other at all.
Yu Sheng seemed to know something, and became even more speechless about Zhihuai's actions.
This matter is still about the number of recommended places for the unified examination. I heard that when several gentlemen discussed the candidates for the second time, for some reason, half of them recommended Zhan Changfeng. Later, Mr. Yangming asked Zhan Changfeng for his opinion, and of course he was rejected. She did not I thought about entering Sitian Prison.
After repeated discussions many times, Yu Zhihuai was selected. After this big exam, Yu Zhihuai will go to Si Tianjian in advance. But he still hated Zhan Changfeng.
Zhan Changfeng had no idea what was wrong with Yu Zhihuai, let alone that he was included in the original recommendation quota, and that this quota was almost taken away by him.
Referee: "One shot, Byakuya!"
This arrow requires that the arrow penetrates the target and the arrowhead turns white to show that the arrow is accurate and powerful.
Zhan Changfeng took his bow and aimed an arrow at the red target fifteen meters away, and hit the ground with one shot.
"excellent!"
"qualified!"
"Mistake!"
After everyone fired arrows, the sounds of target announcements were heard.
When Yu Zhihuai heard Zhan Changfeng's target reporting situation, he couldn't help but secretly hate it. Forget it about Yu Sheng, who is she? She almost took away the spot he had worked so hard to plan for!
"An arrow of red hearts is nothing. If you have the ability, compare it with me!" Yu Zhihuai whispered.
"No comparison." It's boring.
Yu Zhihuai scratched her eye and said loudly, "Referee, I heard that fellow Daoist Yi is good at martial arts and martial arts. I want to retreat another fifteen meters and ask her for advice!"
If you retreat another fifteen meters, it will be one hundred meters!
Most people simply don’t have the arm strength to shoot a target 100 meters away! Even the bull's-eye can't be aimed!
"Are you mistaken? One hundred meters is too far."
"That's right, Oriku House only requires twenty meters. I thought our eighty-five meters was far enough."
"But I heard that Yu Zhihuai is an acquired talent, so running 100 meters shouldn't be a problem."
"How come I heard people who studied Dharma from Mr. Yao Yu say that Yi Zhan attained perfection the day after tomorrow?"
"It's impossible. We took exercise classes together. Although she completed everything very well, her aura is not strong. At most, she is just an acquired skill."
"Perfection will come the day after tomorrow, what a joke!"
"Don't believe it, I just heard..." The man stopped talking in the middle of his words because he recognized that the speaker was from the Wushu class of Wangmei Ju. Looking back, he saw that the Wushu class was all here and they were very powerful. The Leng brothers and sisters, Cheng Zhigao, Xiao Shao and Bai are all here!
On the other side, Fan Siyuan and other members of the liberal arts class who specialize in the unified examination also arrived.
The atmosphere at the archery field suddenly sparkled with lightning.
The referee asked, "What's your opinion?"
Zhan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he smiled indifferently, "Then give me some advice."
Yu Zhihuai's face turned dark. He asked for advice, but she really dared to give him advice. Humph, such an arrogant and arrogant person was favored by all the gentlemen.
The gentlemen watching the ceremony thought it was quite normal. After all, they were at least innately capable and could sense Zhan Changfeng's general strength.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the day after tomorrow will lead to perfect guidance and small success the day after tomorrow.
Zhan Changfeng retreated fifteen meters, and Yu Zhihuai suppressed his temper and retreated, "It's still too late for you to quit now."
"I'm always 90% sure of what I do."
"I'm afraid you might encounter that today!"
The referee shouted, "Everyone is in position, second shot, join in!"
Twenty-two people raised their bows and shot arrows together.
Participating in a chain requires the arrows to belong to each other. If the chain of arrows is connected, it requires extremely high strength and accuracy. Four arrows in a row will be unable to succeed. However, there are two tracks that have never been interrupted. These two tracks are even better than They have doubled in size!
That was Zhan Changfeng and Yu Zhihuai who were standing fifteen meters away.
"Brother, have you seen Yu Zhihuai's eyes?"
"That's the fire eye," Leng Yi'an shook his head. "It's a pity that the quality of his fire eye is not high. It doesn't have much use other than seeing far away. If he was like his brother, he should have entered the martial arts academy long ago."
Leng Yuzi felt something. Yu Shen entered social studies six or seven years earlier than them. However, Yu Shen's talent was very strong. He was taken away by the instructor of the martial arts academy when he was eight years old. How could they not be like them when they were almost eighteen? You have to work hard to catch the tail of Wukao.
"Compared to him, Yi Zhan is more surprising." Leng Yi'an recalled the battle against the wolves that night. This man didn't show much strength.
After hearing the target report, the referee showed his appreciation for the two people behind him, "Three shots, bet!"
The arrow is a fast-moving arrow. The arrow is released as soon as it is lifted. If it hits the target, it is defeated. The test is eyesight, mental strength and speed. Those who miss the target will beat their chests and cry.
Yu Zhihuai took a deep breath, a little solemnly. With his eyesight, he could certainly see that Zhan Changfeng had hit the target again.
He finished three arrow techniques in a row, and his arms were already sore. No, there was no way he would lose. This man was certainly no better than him.
In fact, Zhan Changfeng feels pretty good. Shenzhou also has archery. As one of the six arts, it is the basic skill of the monarch, and she has always pursued perfection and strived to be the best in everything.
The archery ritual in Taoist rituals is different in meaning from the Chinese archery ritual, but the form is almost the same, so she can handle it.
Zhan Changfeng returned Yu Zhihuai's words, "You are about to lose. Unfortunately, it's too late to quit now."
Yu Zhihuai's heart skipped a beat, "Don't mess with my mind, we can be at a draw at most!"
"I'm always 90% certain in doing things," Zhan Changfeng added, "and 10% sure."
"Three shots, Xiangchi!"
In the Chinese shooting ceremony, the minister shoots with the king, and the minister gives the king a foot, which is called a Xiang Chi. Contains the meaning of dignity and inferiority.
In Taoist rituals, there is also a gap of one foot between those with low level of cultivation and those with high level of cultivation, which means to pay tribute to those who have achieved it and to show humility.
At this time, everyone let go of their own cultivation. The martial arts, acquired small and big achievements, were clearly differentiated. Zhan Changfeng's perfection opened up a vast river in this distinction, which made people change their expressions.
No one in the martial arts class knew what to say, and someone managed to hold back a sentence, "Why hasn't she been taken away by the Sixth Academy yet?"
"Maybe it's caused by taking drugs. I'm satisfied, but I don't feel strong."
Regardless of what others were slandering, the other students in the field were shocked and still took a step back in accordance with the rules.
However, Yu Zhihuai couldn't move any further. One hundred meters was his limit. If he stepped back one foot, he would definitely lose!
Should the competition between him and Zhan Changfeng be canceled at this time?
No, that would be a joke.
Yu Zhihuai's face became hot and he was struggling.
While he was struggling, everyone had already retreated, so he was more conspicuous without any movement.
All kinds of eyes were cast on Yu Zhihuai, and he finally retreated a foot as if facing a formidable enemy.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, he should retreat, he should retreat without hesitation!
The test now is about Taoism! Gentlemen mainly look at their posture and manners! Not archery!
If he retreats gracefully, that is called humility, that is called moral character. Even if he misses the target, it will not damage the gentleman's evaluation of him.
What was going on with him? He was so blinded by winning or losing at this moment.
Mr. Lin on the viewing platform said, "This guy has a strong desire to win and lose, and is conceited and impulsive. It would be better to choose Fan Siyuan than him."
Qin Huan said calmly, "If Yi Zhan hadn't led him astray, how could he be so irrational? This time it was Yi Zhan who acted underhandedly and violated the uprightness of the shooting ceremony."
"The spear of words is also a test for each other. Didn't he use words to provoke Yi Zhan before?" The more Mr. Lin looked at Qin Huan, the more displeased he became. "Restrain yourself, don't make your protection so obvious, and treat others as blind."
Mr. Yangming had a headache and coughed, "Stop talking and watch the assessment quietly."
