At this time, there were many people around the Miscellaneous Studies Academy, all scholars and students of the Miscellaneous Studies lineage. They looked at this scene curiously, and were also curious about how Zhang Yan wanted to recruit people, and listened to the conversation just now.
, these children are either princesses or princes, or at last heirs. Is this... so strong? Do you still have to choose? Only the right ones will stay?
But what Zhang Yan did next surprised everyone. He took out an octahedral golden gadget from his arms, which was just the size of a palm in his hand. This thing seemed to have some weight to gold, but it was
It has an extra layer of luster than ordinary gold.
It is made of gold essence as the main material and some other auxiliary materials. It is naturally very different from ordinary gold. And there is a saying for this thing. It is also something Zhang Yan prepared for a scene like today. This will
It is more accurate than his own judgment based on his eyesight and aura. Because some people have hidden Dao roots, Zhang Yan has limited experience in this area, and if there is a better way, he will naturally use a better one.
"This is called the "Talent Ruler", which is used to measure the talent of one of my disciples."
The four words "one of my kind" made everyone who was paying attention to this situation feel their hearts skip a beat. This was the first time they heard Zhang Yan classify his abilities as "one of the ways". The tone was loud, but everyone
I can’t say otherwise. Isn’t it because Zhang Yan’s ability that people are now praised for is unique? There seems to be no problem in calling himself “one way”.
"Oh? There is also such a strange thing?"
"Haha, it's not a strange thing, but it just fits my requirements. It's easier to use and more rigorous. They just need to hold this ruler in their hands and hold it for twenty breaths.
"
Several people standing nearby who should be palace maids or female guards all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Zhang Yan's "measurement method". Warriors all like to touch bones to test talents, but it is troublesome for the little princess present. They
I was still worried before, but now I don’t need to mention it anymore.
However, they all felt that the name of the thing Zhang Yan took out was very strange. How could an object with an octahedron be called a "ruler"? It didn't look like it at all.
Like? Zhang Yan thinks it’s enough to have similar functions, why does the appearance have to be exactly the same?
The princes, princes, and princesses are all little kids, but they also know that it will be a great thing if they are chosen. So it can be seen that they are a little nervous, and their little faces are no longer as playful as before.
. All stretched.
What is the proportion of monks among ordinary people? There is no definite number in Longhu Mountain Gate. There are only some guesses and rough descriptions in some essays.
Not one in a million.
This is just the threshold. To be able to have eyes like Zhang Yan's, you have to be a monk with outstanding talent. Like Xiao Shitou Wang Nian. That's even less. It's not too much to say that you can pick one in a million. Or even
Seems conservative.
Therefore, when Zhang Yan reached a tacit understanding with Xiao Shu, it was not perfunctory but sincere, but he never thought that there would be a seedling that he liked among the children of the royal family. After all, where is such a low chance?
.
But many times things don't develop the way you want. Each of the ten children held the Talent Ruler Twenty Breaths, and a golden light actually lit up in the hand of one of them.
Although the golden light cannot be called dazzling, it is almost the same as the golden light that flickered when Zhang Yan asked Wang Nian to test it when the talent ruler was first made. It is even slightly brighter if you distinguish it carefully.
"Um?!"
Zhang Yan was not the only one who was surprised, he was unexpected. Also surprised were the other people watching.
A strange octahedron "ruler", the children in front had no reaction at all. Even they didn't know what the "reaction" Zhang Yan said would be. Xiao Shu even speculated whether Zhang Yan could use that "talent" casually.
"Not enough" is used as an excuse to deal with the royal family? Others may not have the courage, but Zhang Yan, whose words, deeds, and abilities are all very strange, probably does not lack the courage.
Now that the ruler suddenly lit up with golden light, Zhang Yan did not need to explain. Everyone knew that this must be a "reaction" that was talented enough to penetrate Zhang Yan's door.
However, Zhang Yan's voice of surprise also made Xiao Shu wonder, is the threshold really so high that Zhang Yan was so surprised?
One out of ten babies is chosen by a million people. Zhang Yan couldn't help but wonder, is this his own good luck? Or the other person's good luck?
"Zhang Jiaoxi, this is the Thirteenth Prince. He has not yet been titled, Ming Rui." Xiao Shu smiled and brought the only child who had a reaction to the talent ruler to Zhang Yan. Then he gave a detailed introduction.
Zhang Yan nodded. Naturally, there is no title for such a young baby. Generally speaking, the princess must be ten years old and the prince must be twelve years old before he can get a title. The main thing is to wait until the baby is older to see if it is
What kind of growth? Only those who grow well will get a better title. If their growth is not good, unless the uncle's family is powerful enough, they will not get a good title. Then there are special circumstances like Princess Qingling.
"Hello, Prince Rui, I'm Zhang Yan, you're polite here!" Zhang Yan bowed his hands and looked at the child in front of him with a smile. She looked a bit like the Princess Qingling he was familiar with. She was thin and small, with very bright eyes.
He is tall, somewhat delicate, and probably in his early six years, slightly younger than Wang Nian.
Moreover, Zhang Yan could see that there was no possibility for the thirteenth prince to practice martial arts, because generally if he had the talent to practice martial arts, he would start to work hard on his muscles and bones at the age of six. Especially for the royal family who would not be short of muscles and bones.
In terms of family affairs, anyone with some talent in martial arts would not be as proficient as he is now.
"Mr. Zhang, you're welcome. Yang Rui will ask for your advice in the future!" The little man imitated an adult and bowed deeply towards Zhang Yan. Although the etiquette is not as grand as apprenticeship, it is still a general gift for entering a school.
.
As for the registered disciples, Zhang Yan smiled and didn't care. Not everyone can resist the breadth and mystery of the Taoist sect.
Once you enter the Taoist gate, everything in the world is boring.
Although the above statement is a bit exaggerated, it also shows that once one is exposed to Taoist methods, one cannot help but not delve deeper into it.
And whether it is the prosperity or power of this world, it will really become very insignificant after you reach a certain level of cultivation. This is why Zhang Yan doesn't care whether the disciple he accepts is a low-level family member like Wang Nian or a royal family member like Yang Rui.
reason.
"Prince Rui, there is no need to be polite. Since you want to learn something from me, then just stay."
Xiao Shu laughed and was very satisfied that someone from the royal family could enter Zhang Yan's door. Finally, the tacit understanding paid off.
After that, the thirteenth prince will need to stay in Langyuan City. Xiao Shu will arrange everything, and the royal guards will follow up. Even if the matter comes to an end, those royal children who are not selected will be taken away and immediately return to Yuanding Imperial City.
.
But Xiao Shu did not leave. He planned to stay and see if the children brought by the nobles and nobles behind him also had children with suitable talents.
