The first round of selection is over.
The top thirty-two people were selected from the one hundred Taoist disciples who participated. Only a very small number of these thirty-two people came up from the third route in a regular manner.
Most of them have their own unique skills, but the top few cannot be underestimated. Just like Wei Xuanhe, he must have come from a big sect.
Soon the second test competition began.
I saw the staff took out a large cage. The black cloth covering the cage was lifted, and dozens of skylarks were chirping and flying inside.
A Taoist priest wearing glasses stood up and said: "The first game is about foot strength, and the second game is about eyesight and agility."
After a pause, the person pointed to the bird in the cage and said: "There are dozens of skylarks in this cage, and there are only sixteen canary lark in it. When the birdcage is opened, you must try to find the canary lark among these birds and catch them. Look, whoever catches the bird has passed the round."
The rules seem easy, but if you think about it carefully, it is not so. First of all, you must have keen insight and be able to tell which one is the canary lark the moment you open the birdcage. Secondly, on the top of this narrow Huashan Mountain, you must catch the canary lark as quickly as possible, otherwise the lark will fly away a little slower. It is impossible to follow the lark down the mountain on this ten thousand-foot-high cliff! If you can't live there, you can only look back and sigh.
Furthermore, there are too many monks but not enough gruel, and there are too many wolves but not enough meat. Thirty-two people went to grab sixteen canary lark. Not to mention whether they could grab it or not, even if they could grab it, half of the disciples would be eliminated. Everyone finally stood out from a hundred people, but now they are facing the risk of being eliminated. This competition is indeed a bit cruel.
All the participants looked solemn, and only a few looked relaxed and confident. The moment the bespectacled Taoist priest opened the birdcage, the contestants almost simultaneously stretched out their hands toward the birdcage as fast as they could.
As soon as the birdcage was opened, the birds inside flew away in all directions, making it noisy for a while. The Taoist nun reacted the fastest and instantly hit a canary lark with a pebble. The lark was hit hard and quickly fell from a high altitude. The Taoist nun jumped into the air, turned around magnificently, and reached out to catch the lark.
Senior Brother Maoshan was not to be outdone. When a skylark was about to fly out of the cage, he used enough strength to instantly knock back the two people beside him, and with quick eyes and hands, he caught a golden skylark.
Looking at the birds flying in all directions, Wei Xuanhe also moved. He raised two of them forward, and the long sword behind him instantly flew up and released a sword energy, directly trapping a golden skylark, and beside the skylark The other birds were not so lucky. They were cut in half by the sword energy, and a blood mist instantly dispersed.
Everyone is using their lifelong learning just to catch a skylark to ensure promotion. Only the young monk Zhou Jiang did not move in the audience. He clasped his hands and recited the scriptures silently. After a while, a golden skylark with leaping wings flew to his side and danced around Zhou Jiang. After a few turns, it landed on his hands. This scene also surprised Huan Xin. The little monk's methods were too unusual. Huan Xin even had the heart to report to the organizing committee that a Taoist competition had been infiltrated by a Buddhist.
Seeing everyone succeeding one after another, Huan Xin also felt that it was time for him to take action, so a few birds flying towards him pointed his hand and said "stop", and the birds just stopped out of thin air. In the air, Huan Xin smiled and was about to reach out to grab one of the golden lark. Suddenly a hand appeared from behind him and grabbed the lark first. Huan Xin turned around suddenly. Look, he saw a short, woodchuck-like man who was one step faster than him and caught the skylark.
Huan Xin suddenly felt careless, so he stretched out his hand towards the skylark in the man's hand. The short disciple quickly ducked backwards, rolled over on the ground, and stood up at a very fast speed. He ran to the other side and distanced himself from Huan Xin.
Huan Xin, a mute, was the loser, which really made him angry and helpless. It was too late to chase this person. At this time, almost a dozen people had caught the skylark, and most of the birds had already flown into the distance. .
At this time, Huan Xin was also very anxious. Fortunately, with his discerning eyes, he saw a skylark hiding among the birds and about to fly into the distance. Huan Xin didn't care about the cliff at his feet. He kicked the ground with his left foot and said, "Whoosh" "With a sound, he rushed out. The movement of the Gale Wind Technique reached its extreme, as if the small universe in the body exploded. After a difficult roll in the air, he stepped in the air with his feet, and then jumped over behind him. By accident, he landed Standing on a rock on the edge of the cliff, he stood firm and assumed the independent shape of a golden rooster.
Immediately, a group of female disciples who were watching expressed a burst of joy and excitement. It seemed that the chic and elegant operation of calling the heart had won the hearts of all the female disciples, and many female disciples cast their admiring glances.
After landing, Huan Xin walked in front of the judges, stretched out his palm, and there was a bird flying in his palm. However, his bird seemed different from the golden lark that others had caught. Other people's birds had a handful of golden ones on the top of their heads. It has fur, and the one in Huan Xin's hand looks like an ordinary bird.
The referee smiled and said to Huan Xin: "I'm afraid the one you caught is not a canary lark. You caught the wrong one. You will be eliminated!"
Huan Xin smiled, and did not take the man's words seriously. Instead, he placed the bird in front of the Taoist priest wearing glasses. The Taoist priest looked at Huan Xin in surprise, then pursed his lips and nodded with a smile. He nodded and asked thoughtfully: "How did fellow Taoist figure out that this was a golden lark?"
When Huan Xin heard this, his expression immediately showed joy, and he said without explaining too much: "The fifteen golden larks are all male, but this one is female. This female bird is no different from other ordinary larks. It’s really hard to tell the difference.”
The Taoist priest wearing glasses nodded when he saw Huan Xin's explanation, and said, "My fellow Taoist is really a master, and what he said is correct, but I'm still very curious, how did you figure it out?"
Huan Xin smiled and took a deep breath and said, "The mountain man has his own clever plan, don't tell me!"
Then Huan Xin raised his hand casually, withdrew his Tao power, let the skylark fly away, turned around and said to the Taoist priest wearing glasses: "I am the first in this game again. Others only caught one, but I had two." ah."
The Taoist priest with eyes smiled and nodded, and said: "Fellow Taoist Qi Huanxin came out on top in this round and advanced to the next round."
After the Taoist priest finished speaking, Huan Xin looked aside with a dull expression. The short disciple showed an embarrassed expression, cupped his hands in front of Huan Xin, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your permission!"
Since he has come out on top, these little things are innocuous, but this disciple who looks like a prairie dog has been kept in mind. It is not that he has robbed his canary lark, but that he can silently take advantage of his own. snatched away from behind, this person's breath-holding ability is really a master in this way.
The game is over. Only fourteen people have caught the Skylark, and the others are about to be eliminated. One of the original sixteen Skylarks was strangled to death by the two people fighting for it. Naturally, it does not count. There is also an unknown one. Whereabouts, he probably flew away. In short, after this round, half of the people have been eliminated, and the remaining ones are definitely masters with real abilities.
What kind of challenges will there be in the next third game?
