The carriage drove into a mountain pass. There were dozens of Talisman Warriors sitting here, and a few spellcasters wandering around the mountain pass. After a brief inspection, the Talisman Warriors guarding the mountain pass waved to let them go.
One pass after another, the closer to the inside, the stricter the inspection. What surprised Guo Twelve was that this was only the outer perimeter. Chen Chunzhai said that they had not reached the inner gate yet, and were now walking in the area of the outer gate.
"When can we get to the inner gate? It's already evening."
Huo Bao asked Guo Twelve in a low voice. He was not as calm as Guo Twelve. Chen Chunzhai said, "What's the hurry? We can't get to the inner gate today. We have to stay at the outer gate for a day, and we have to give Twelve a test in the evening.
A lot of people will come."
The carriage stopped in front of a courtyard, and Chen Chunzhai said: "This is the reception courtyard of the outer gate. Twelve, Leopard, follow me. Changfeng, you take the other children."
Walking into the compound, an old man came up to him and said with a smile: "It's you...Old Chen, have you found any good ideas this time?"
Chen Chunzhai said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, if you are interested, let's go and watch the test together tonight."
Mr. Zhao has white beard and hair, and has large age spots on his face, but he is energetic and has bright eyes. He is holding a crutch in his hand, but the way he holds it looks more like he is holding a long
sword.
Chen Chunzhai said: "Twelve, come and meet Grandpa Zhao."
Guo Twelve had no choice but to live in the body of a child. He stepped forward and saluted, "Hello, Grandpa Zhao."
Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "He's from the south, right? Haha, children in the south are afraid of the cold. They'll get used to it after a few years. His name is Twelve? What a weird name."
Guo Twelve smiled and said: "Grandpa Zhao, my surname is Guo, and my name is Guo Twelve."
Mr. Zhao laughed and said: "Don't tell me, I must be ranked twelfth! Alas, southerners are really talented."
After joking for a while, Mr. Zhao called some people and began to allocate housing. Chen Chunzhai and Guo Twelve were assigned an independent courtyard alone, and Aunt Lan and Huo Bao also moved in.
After dinner, Chen Chunzhai took Guo Twelve and Huo Bao out of the small courtyard. The reason why he took Huo Bao with him was to let him test it too. This time, the people who came for the test were experts from the inner sect, specializing in classification tests.
The Guo family's simple test is much more stringent, which determines the direction in which these children will learn and develop in the future.
There was a row of old men, with white beards, black and white beards, and brown beards. Guo Shi was dizzy when he saw them. Is there a lot of old men in Beifumen? These old men were either serious, kind, playful, or serious. Guo Shi
After a second count, there were twenty-seven old men, none of them young. A closer look revealed that among these old men, there were two old ladies. The two old ladies were sitting together, muttering.
Know what you are talking about.
After Chen Chunzhai came in, he saluted and said, "Chen Chunzhai has met all of you, uncles, uncles, and aunts."
Guo Twelve's heart moved and he stepped forward and said, "Guo Twelve has met all of your grandparents."
The old man sitting in the middle had a long beard that reached down to his chest. He twirled his beard with his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, Xiao Chen, this kid is the one you sent the message to...the one with the potential for spells."
child?"
Chen Chunzhai said: "Yes, uncle, this kid is called Guo Twelve. He has great potential that my disciples have never seen before."
This old man is very famous in Beifu Sect. He is a spell master, and he is about to break through to become a great spell master. He is much more powerful than Chen Chunzhai. He is responsible for training his disciples in Beifu Sect. The entire Beifu Sect
He has countless disciples who come from his sect. His name is Chang Yeren, and he has a nickname, Da (Ye) Ye.
Chang Yeren gently stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Haha, everyone has seen your letter, so... you have seen it, they are all here..."
An old lady said: "Xiao Zhai, if it's really that good... My old lady should accept an apprentice!" She was Chen Chunzhai's direct aunt. She spoke carelessly and took her duties seriously. "If this apprentice is ideal, then he is
It's mine."
Chang Yeren coughed and said, "Aunt Chen, now is not the time to accept a disciple. Everyone is watching. What you said is inappropriate."
Aunt Chen said: "You all have apprentices, but I, the old woman, don't have any, and I won't let them this time!"
An old man next to him said sarcastically: "We haven't tested it yet, so why are you anxious!"
"Of course I'm anxious. Humph, don't think that I don't know your plans. I'll grab the kids with good aptitudes when I see them, and hide from the kids with average aptitudes and potential. This time I'll be the first to speak. Don't talk to any of you.
I'll grab it, otherwise... the old woman won't be easy to mess with!"
Chang Yeren coughed again and said: "Aunt Chen, don't forget that in Beifumen, it is not only the master who chooses his apprentices, but the apprentices also have the power to choose their masters. Okay! Stop talking and start the test. Ten
The second is left for the final test, and the thirteen children will be tested first."
Four talisman potentials and nine magician potentials, a total of thirteen children.
The test was very careful this time. The old people here were a little disappointed. None of them had the potential that they were satisfied with. The best among the thirteen people only had the potential to become a spell master, and he was a junior spell master. They
Although the test is not 100% accurate, it is 80% sure.
After the thirteen children went out, Chang Yeren sighed: "Oh, there are fewer and fewer children with good potential now, how can we get it in the future..."
Then came the test for Huo Bao. The result was not too bad. Huo Bao's potential as a Talisman Warrior was average to above average, which was considered good.
Finally it was Guo Twelve's turn. The group of old people all left their seats and gathered around. Guo Twelve was a little uneasy. He knew in his heart that whether his potential was excellent or not would determine his future learning conditions, whether he had good teachers, and the resources he could use.
Wait. As an adult soul who has experienced two lives, he understands that this is a very critical time.
Chang Yeren took out a long ruler. Strictly speaking, it was not a ruler, but a specially refined test charm. It looked similar to a ruler. It was a long white charm with many silver threads shining on it. He walked to Guo
In front of Twelve, he said: "Kid, don't be nervous." Then he put the long test talisman on his forehead.
"Remember, start looking from the left... follow the runes as much as possible... as much as you can see. If you feel a headache or nausea, stop immediately. Do you understand?"
Guo Twelve agreed and closed his eyes so that he could concentrate more.
He successfully saw the runes on the long talisman again. The runes at the beginning were very simple. He followed the patterns one after another and did not find it difficult. You must know that after two lives of cultivating the soul, the soul in this life has already
Very powerful. Gradually, the runes became more and more complex.
Huo Bao stood aside. He could clearly see the long talisman attached to Guo Twelve's forehead. When Guo Twelve closed his eyes, one rune began to flash on the long talisman, and then another, very quickly, about
After more than twenty runes flashed by, the speed began to slow down, and one flashed in about fifteen seconds.
There was a fanatical light in the eyes of the group of old people, and some of them could not help but tremble. Chang Yeren's mouth opened wide, and Aunt Chen's saliva almost flowed out. She seemed to have seen a rare treasure, holding on to her side tightly.
The old lady didn't let go of her arm.
The speed of the runes flashing on the long talisman became slower, and it took almost a minute for one to appear. Guo Twelve was obviously a little tired, but he still did not give up, and was still looking hard at the new runes that appeared.
Finally, Guo Twelve could not continue. He found that he still had some remaining soul power, but he was too unfamiliar with runes. The runes were becoming more and more complex. If he was careless, all his previous efforts would be wasted. He would need to redraw a rune. He often had to try two or three times for a rune.
, so it takes longer and longer.
Guo Twelve took a deep breath and said regretfully: "This rune is too complicated, I...I can't..."
Chang Yeren patted Guo Twelve's shoulder very gently, showed what he thought was the most amiable smile, and said: "My child, it's okay, very good, very good!" Not only was it good, his eyes almost had tears in his eyes.
Fire comes. This kind of potential is simply too rare. This is the potential of a great spell master. It is the best and rarest kind.
"Xiao Chen, you take Twelve back to rest, and take him to the inner gate tomorrow. There is no need to conduct subsequent tests."
Chen Chunzhai saluted and walked out with Guo Twelve and Huo Bao. As soon as he walked out of the door, he heard someone in the room shouting: "This is my apprentice! No one can steal it! I will make the decision...Who dares?"
Fight, who will I fight with?" That was Chang Yeren's voice.
A sharp cry: "You old and immortal guy! Others are afraid of you, but I am not! I just said, this is my apprentice!" This was Aunt Chen's roar.
"Stop talking to yourself! You don't know for sure who you want to be, little guy. Everyone is just being sentimental..."
"I'm willing to risk everything..."
"Fuck! I won't..."
The three of them walked further and further away, and their voices gradually became softer. Guo Twelve broke into a cold sweat. Chen Chunzhai covered his forehead with one hand, grabbed Guo Twelve's arm with the other, and left quickly. This was really embarrassing.
Huo Bao was also frightened. He turned pale and trotted after him.
Back in the small courtyard, Chen Chunzhai said to get some rest early and hid in his room. Guo Twelve smiled secretly in his heart and returned to his room. Night was the time for chanting sutras. This was the secret weapon for his successful reincarnation and he had to ensure that it was completed.
task.
About an hour later, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and a warrior Fu went to open the door. Then he heard the sound of Chen Chunzhai going out. After a while, Chen Chunzhai came back and closed the door. Within ten minutes, someone knocked on the door again, and Chen Chunzhai went out again.
Back. After going back and forth four or five times, Chen Chunzhai simply stopped sleeping. He moved to a low table and put an animal skin on it. No matter how cold it was outside, he just sat there with the courtyard door wide open.
"Haha, Xiao Chen is not asleep yet, I have something to do with you..."
"Stop talking, Mr. Wu, Twelve has gone to bed. Let's go to the inner gate tomorrow..."
"Oh, Lao Wu is here too..."
"…"
Only then did Guo Twelve realize that things seemed to be a bit out of control. These old guys came to harass them in turns. Chen Chunzhai did not dare to offend any of them. He was a junior, and all the powerful people from Beifu Sect came here, which made him very distressed.
"...Xiao Zhai..."
Even Guo Twelve, who was in the room, couldn't help but shudder. He recognized that it was Aunt Chen's voice.
"Senior aunt."
"I'm your aunt! Not your aunt!"
"Yes, aunt..."
"Hehehe, Xiaozhai..."
Chen Chunzhai shivered. Guo Twelve, who was in the room, stopped reciting sutras and dove into bed. This laughter was quite lethal.
