When Dian Wei heard Wang Can's words, he nodded and said: "My lord is wise!"
After a pause, Dian Wei said: "My lord, Song Changqing killed so many people in the Shaolin Temple. Do you think the Shaolin Temple will take action to start a large-scale war with the Quanzhen Sect?"
"Won't!"
Wang Can shook his head and answered.
Wang Can said: "If the leader of the Quanzhen Sect like Song Changqing dies in the hands of Xuanyuan and others, the Quanzhen Sect and the Shaolin Temple will most likely go to war. But right now, only a few Shaolin Temple stick monks are dead."
"Especially, even Xuanyuan is not dead."
"In addition, the Shaolin Temple took the initiative to go to the Shu Kingdom and stir up disputes. Under this premise, even if a few people from the Shaolin Temple died, it would be the Shaolin Temple's fault first."
Wang Can's eyes were wise and he said: "If we provoke them now, it will only increase the conflicts between the two parties."
"More, it's hard."
"The current situation is unknown in the world. Even if there is only the Quanzhen Sect in Shu, it is normal if another sect suddenly appears one day."
Wang Can said: "So even if the two sides have conflicts, they can't fight."
"I see!"
Dian Wei nodded solemnly.
"Let's go back."
Wang Can gave instructions and left with Dian Wei.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it’s time for Quanzhen Religion to recruit disciples.
This day, it was early in the morning.
Fifteen miles outside the south gate of Luoyang City, under a slightly flat mountain peak, countless people gathered.
This mountain peak is called Jiuchong Mountain.
This was the sect's residence that Song Changqing chose outside Luoyang after the battle with Xuanyuan. In a short period of time, houses were built on Jiuchong Mountain.
The layout of Jiuchong Mountain also changed accordingly.
There are also more people.
It is equivalent to the Quanzhen Sect having two residences in Luoyang. One is where Chunyangzi lives in the city, and the other is where Song Changqing lives in Jiuchong Mountain.
Countless people arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone looked eagerly at the mountain, with a look of anticipation in their eyes.
Everyone wants to soar into the sky.
Before the world changed, if you wanted to get ahead, you could either study to increase your knowledge, learn strategies, etc.; or you could get ahead by practicing martial arts and fighting on the battlefield.
But it's different now.
An individual's martial arts is enough to determine the survival of a country, which gives countless people another hope.
Everyone wants to enter the Quanzhen Sect.
Everyone wants to soar into the sky.
Everyone wants to change their destiny.
The sun is rising gradually, and the June sun shines on people's heads, making people gradually become irritable. People gathered one by one, talking loudly, looking at the mountains of Jiuchong Mountain, with a look of longing in their eyes.
Wang Can was also standing in the crowd.
In addition to Wang Can, there are also generals from the army such as Chen Dao and Gan Ning. Since Quanzhen Religion allows people from the army to participate, people from the army will naturally participate.
Wang Can stood quietly. Although the scorching sun was beating down on his head, it did not affect him at all.
Time passes little by little.
By early morning, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
The sun is getting hotter.
Wang Can looked around and saw the noisy crowd, shaking his head in his heart.
There must be at least tens of thousands of people living near Jiuchong Mountain.
I'm afraid that the number of people who can actually be selected is at most a hundred, or even less than a hundred.
While Wang Can was waiting quietly, he suddenly saw someone on the mountain of Jiuchong Mountain suddenly flying down from the sky and arriving at the mountain gate at the foot of Jiuchong Mountain.
This person is clearly Song Changqing.
Beside him, a sword he carried with him stood in the air, spinning and showing endless edge.
Just looking at it makes my scalp feel numb.
It felt like it was about to be penetrated.
Everyone was silent.
He seemed to be intimidated by Song Changqing's power.
Wang Can had met Song Changqing, and he knew Song Changqing's martial arts. He said nothing and stood quietly in the crowd.
Song Changqing turned aside, pointed at the ten bronze cauldrons inside the mountain gate, and said loudly: "Because there are too many people coming, it is too time-consuming to select them one by one."
"These are ten large bronze cauldrons, each weighing a thousand catties."
"The first condition to be selected is to lift the big cauldron. Each big cauldron has the same weight. Everyone who steps forward to lift the cauldron has only one chance."
"If you succeed in raising the tripod, you will enter the mountain gate to be selected."
"Failed to lift the cauldron, exit the mountain gate."
Song Changqing's face looked a little lazy, as if he was a little impatient, and said: "Okay, let's get started!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
In fact, he really had no intention of selecting disciples of the Quanzhen Sect. He was the leader of the Quanzhen Sect and had a distinguished status. With his status, it would be wrong for him to announce the rules in person.
After Song Changqing left, Chunyangzi appeared.
The place for selecting disciples was at Jiuchong Mountain. Chunyangzi arrived early and made preparations here.
After Song Changqing announced the rules for the primary election, Chunyangzi took twenty disciples to the ten cauldrons. Each cauldron was equipped with two disciples to check whether anyone could be selected.
Chunyangzi looked at the restless and confused people and said loudly: "Now, everyone lines up in order and is ready to challenge."
Everyone moved upon hearing the wind and quickly got into position.
When the people at the front were lined up, Chunyangzi ordered the selection of disciples.
One by one, all of them, without exception, raised the cauldron.
It is not an easy task to lift a gigantic cauldron. Even for a warrior with some martial arts, it is quite difficult to have the strength of a thousand catties. Therefore, one by one stepped forward to lift the cauldron, and many people left sadly.
There are also people who forcibly lifted the cauldron and were eventually crushed by the big cauldron, causing them to die on the spot. It can be said that the selection method of the giant cauldron is simple but the fastest way to select people with better martial arts skills.
In fact, the Quanzhen Sect's selection this time is indeed to only select people with better martial arts.
Not the most basic selection.
Because if it is the most basic selection, involving understanding, foundation, etc., the selection of disciples is very complicated and cannot be completed overnight, and it must be done in Zhongnan Mountain where the Quanzhen Sect is located.
But it’s different now!
This is to only select some people with strong martial arts skills and temporarily inject them into the Quanzhen Sect to enhance the strength of the Quanzhen Sect.
Wang Can stood in the crowd and moved forward little by little.
He was also paying attention to the situation ahead.
There were very few people in front of him who could actually pass the test. Most of them just stepped forward to give it a try and then left. As far as Wang Can knew, he only saw one person pass the test.
The rest have not passed the test yet.
When he arrived at Wang Can, he walked forward and came to the big cauldron. He spread his legs and squatted down. He hugged the thousand-jin giant cauldron with his hands. His body strength exploded. He heard him shout low and raised the thousand-jin cauldron.
Giant tripod.
For Wang Can, this is not difficult.
After all, his martial arts are quite powerful in the world.
Seeing that Wang Can was young and naturally powerful, Chunyangzi showed a look of approval on his face and said: "Not bad, not bad, come on, stand aside, you have initially passed the test."
Wang Can was arranged to stand aside.
He looked around and saw that as of now, there were only about ten people.
Not many can really pass the test.
When Wang Can looked carefully, he found that Dian Wei, Shan Xiongxin, and Huang Zhong passed the test, but Chen Dao and Gan Ning failed. Although their martial arts were superb, they were disadvantaged in terms of strength, so they failed to pass.
The duration of lifting the cauldron was compensated, it only lasted less than two hours.
The selection is over.
Because the selection method for lifting the cauldron is very simple, that is, if you can lift the cauldron, you will pass. If you cannot lift the cauldron, you will not pass. It is as simple and crude as that.
There is no room for maneuver.
Wang Can looked around and found that the number of people who had actually passed the test was about eighty, which was not too many.
At the foot of Jiuchong Mountain, although there was still a circle of people around, Chunyangzi flicked his sleeves and said: "Today's selection is over. Everyone has dispersed."
The warriors who came one by one were unwilling to give up.
They traveled thousands of miles to come to Jiuchong Mountain, but in the end, they didn't take any exams, just the exams for the school and the tripod, which was too much trouble.
Immediately, some warriors expressed dissatisfaction.
But Chunyangzi ignored him at all, turned around and took Wang Can and others to the interior of Jiuchong Mountain.
This made every unwilling person full of anger.
But they didn't dare to cause trouble.
Everyone saw the scene where Song Changqing took action just now. The flying sword hanging in the air was terrifying.
"Oh, let's go!"
"The Quanzhen Sect has a high threshold for recruiting disciples, and we can't afford to offend them."
"There is no master here, but there is a place for masters. I don't believe it. Is it true that only the Quanzhen Sect recruits disciples? Other Jianghu forces also want to recruit disciples."
"Gone, gone."
…
Every warrior spoke, all feeling helpless.
Although they comfort themselves, everyone knows that if they can truly worship the Quanzhen Sect, they will fly on a branch and become a phoenix, completely changing their life trajectory and no longer being an ordinary person.
Countless people at the foot of the mountain began to disperse.
The noisy Jiuchong Mountain gradually returned to tranquility.
Chunyangzi led a group of people halfway up the mountain to the gate of the Quanzhen Sect's residence where Song Changqing lived. He bowed and said, "Brother, the results of the selection are out. I brought all the qualified people up the mountain.
Come and ask senior brother to make a decision."
The recruitment of disciples this time depends entirely on Song Changqing's decision.
This is mainly done by Song Changqing.
"Crunch!"
The door opened, and Song Changqing strode out. His eyes were soft now, without any sharpness, as if he was an ordinary scholar.
He glanced over and kept waving his hands and snapping his fingers.
With a snap of his fingers, Gang Qi was shot out. Although it was not as sharp as the sword Qi, when it hit the person, it still made the person take a step back and was unable to stand still.
It's not destructive, but it's powerful.
Song Changqing kept taking action, and after a while, he ended it and ordered: "Everyone who was hit by my Gang Qi just now, all go down the mountain. Our Quanzhen Sect recruits disciples, and it is impossible to recruit those who are too old. You go to the mountain to practice,
It’s of no use.”
brush!
The faces of those who were beaten changed drastically. (To be continued)
