In fact, for the current Xiao Yu, these people who can pass the test and climb the mountain road are all mentally different from ordinary people, and they are the people who are qualified to become wizard apprentices first.
Among them, except for Detective Jiang and Taoist Priest Suyun, they are truly gifted and peerless geniuses, and they are definitely not to be missed.
The talents of the other two thousand or so people are only in the middle of the pack. Xiao Yu is really embarrassed about who to eliminate and who not to eliminate... In this case, it is better to do it casually and just look at the face.
"Well, this pretty boy has obvious dark circles on his face. If you take a closer look, it's because of kidney deficiency! Tsk, tsk, these overworked people should go down the mountain!"
Xiao Yu used Luo Xiaoying to directly hit the unlucky pretty boy with his mental shock.
Suddenly, the man who was gritting his teeth and persisting suddenly felt as if the world around him was suddenly falling apart!
The sky that was still far away just now seemed to be suppressing!
"ah!"
He couldn't help but scream, backed away repeatedly, and almost fell down.
Fortunately, someone behind him grabbed his shoulder, which prevented him from making a fool of himself.
However, the pretty boy didn't dare to stay any longer. The mental shock made him feel uncomfortable all over, and it frightened his courage. He turned around and ran away down the mountain in a panic, dripping with sweat.
Officials who were specially guarding the area came to help the pretty boy get down the mountain.
These official personnel have been warned that they will not be affected by fairy magic, and they have also brought an exorcism charm from Zhenwu Temple to avoid being entangled by evil spirits, so they are much easier and faster than those climbers.
People around the pretty boy only felt confused but angry about this!
They would not just guess that the pretty boy suddenly had a mental illness, but they would guess that the mountain road had indeed been cast with magical powers, and this was secretly testing them!
That pretty boy must have too weak consciousness and has not withstood this test!
They can't afford to follow in this footsteps!
They quickly used their own methods, some biting their lips in an attempt to use the pain to calm themselves down.
There are also some who are chanting magical mantras, trying to hypnotize themselves.
Xiao Yu touched his chin, drank tea, and started to repel these climbers one on the left and one on the right.
"Three on the left, three on the right, in the middle...wait a minute, this is Yasuo Abe. Well, this one is still useful, so I won't choose it."
As more and more climbers got closer to the top of the mountain, more and more people were irritated and screamed and had to leave with the help of official personnel.
Yasuo Abe was always worried about himself, and he was highly concentrated and nervous throughout the whole process.
It's just... Yasuo Anbei was a little confused. Why did he see the outline of Zhenwu Temple on Zhenwu Mountain? Apart from feeling a little cold, he didn't seem to be affected by anything else!
"Hmm...it must be Seimei Onmyoji-sama's great power that is helping me cheat again!"
Anbe Yasuo thought of this in his mind, and his whole body became much calmer.
He looked around and found that there were less than two hundred people still on the top of the mountain.
Like Yasuo Abe, there are only a few foreign friends left.
"Citizen Country, Europa, Silla Country, Polar Bear Country... Counting me, there are five people in total, and there is exactly one person from each country!"
When Yasuo Anpei thought of this, he happened to see the Taoist priest of Zhenwu Temple coming over and said to him:
"Yasuo Abe?"
"Yes, I am Yasuo Abe." Yasuo Abe did not dare to be rude and quickly stood up straight and bowed respectfully.
"You have passed the test, and now you can go to the temple to have a meal."
"The rest of the exam will wait until you finish eating before continuing."
Yasuo Anbei nodded quickly and then followed the others into the Zhenwu Temple.
The dining hall inside Zhenwu Temple.
The remaining 187 people each received a white steamed bun and a bottle of pure water.
After such a long time, these people were all tired. Although some people felt that Zhenwu Guan was a bit stingy and only gave them a fist-sized steamed bun.
But no one dared to protest at this critical moment.
Detective Jiang also had dissatisfaction and doubts in his heart.
But as he took his first bite of the steamed bun, he realized how extraordinary this steamed bun was!
"This steamed bun is extraordinary!" Detective Jiang pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, took a deep breath, and swallowed the rest of the steamed bun in one bite.
This white steamed bun actually tastes average, not as good as the canteen of the investigation team.
But after eating this steamed bun, you can immediately feel the heat emanating from it, making your whole body feel extremely satisfied and comfortable.
Judging from the information, he remembered that this was how he felt after taking the elixir!
This steamed bun must have elixir-like ingredients!
Zhenwu Guan was willing to give it to people like them. Not only was he not stingy, he was overly generous!
You must know that those pills from the Jin family were auctioned for sky-high prices!
If you sell these steamed buns, no one will find them expensive for one hundred thousand!
After eating the steamed buns, everyone tacitly rested for an hour.
Then Master Qingxu came to receive these people in person and asked his Taoist priests to give each of them a blank piece of paper.
Recorded on the white paper are the basic breathing methods of wizard apprentices.
It can only be effective if you combine it with the abundant spiritual energy around Zhenwu Mountain.
Therefore, Xiao Yu was not afraid that some of them would fail and go down the mountain to take this technique out.
Forcibly practicing this kind of apprentice-level entry-level technique in a place without spiritual energy will overdraw the practitioner's mental strength.
If ordinary people without talent practice, it will be a little nerve-wracking.
When you meet Detective Jiang and Taoist Master Suyun, who is so gifted and forced to practice, the mental breakdown will be mild. If you accidentally enter the distraction period, it is not impossible to have a split personality and become a frequent visitor to the mental hospital!
Everyone who got the exercise took the time to recite it.
Soon they learned about the next test content, which was indeed related to this technique.
"Boom!"
Zhenwu Temple rang the bronze bell.
In the main hall, the immortal Xiyue Zhenren appeared in person and sat on the futon. He recited the magic formula and let the one hundred and eighty-seven people in the hall silently use their mental methods.
There is spiritual energy to help, and a little bit of white essence liquid taken at the beginning as a primer.
Xiao Yu quickly found the twenty people among the more than one hundred people who had the smoothest mental processes.
Xiao Yu discovered that Yasuo Anbei actually relied on his own book to reach the 18th place.
"It's a pity that you are destined to go to the land of cherry blossoms. You'd better not take up the quota this time."
Xiao Yu eliminated Anbei Yasuo, and the remote-controlled Taoist priest Luo Xiaoying came in after they practiced for an hour, and let out a cold snort that resounded throughout the main hall, making those who were practicing come back to their senses.
"This time, there are twenty people who can enter the inner gate of Zhenwu Temple."
"There are forty people who can become outer disciples."
"The rest of the people, those who are willing to work as handymen can stay, and we won't force anyone who doesn't want to."
