The Great Doorway of Daoism

Chapter 104



Three days later, Hua Lanting went to Dong Mingfeng to participate in the evaluation. Yi LiuNian had nothing to do, and they also accompanied him as a support group.

The scenery of Dongming peak is different from other peaks. The rocks are jagged, the color is like iron, there is little vegetation, and some are mostly coniferous pines.

There are not many wooden buildings on the peak, but there are many large and small caves, both naturally formed and artificially excavated.

Because of the landform, Mr. Dong Mingfeng took the first name or surname as his surname.

When the four people came to the mountain, dozens of people were waiting here, including applicants, observers and disciples from Dongming peak.

This batch of participants in the evaluation were 17 people who registered last time. Jia Xiaochun and Han Cailing, who knew the name of hualanting, were also among them.

Seeing that everyone was here, Deacon Dong Mingfeng, who was in charge of the evaluation, said to everyone: "as usual, the Deacon Jiang Gongping's evaluation of entering the peak is divided into five aspects to investigate the basic qualities of explosive power, durability, perception, control and dexterity."

"Benfeng has special equipment and methods. Due to the evaluation, the full score of each of the five evaluation items is 10. Originally, the total score reached 30, but there is a special situation that needs to be explained in advance."

"Because your disciples of the 60th generation generally have a high level and reach the three mountains and a half months earlier than in previous years, at present, some cave masters who are qualified and willing to accept disciples on this peak are still closed, and some are refining weapons, so only ten cave masters have time to accept disciples."

"Therefore, if there are more than ten disciples who pass the pass, the disciples who rank behind ten in the comprehensive score can only wait to participate in the next batch of evaluation, but don't be discouraged. The master's level is also high and low. The cave master who accepts disciples later may have a higher level than this time."

"In addition, in line with the principles of fairness and easy luck, according to the practice, the ten selected people will decide the teacher by drawing lots. OK, the evaluation begins."

Hearing this, Hua Lanting thought that since only ten people were selected and the division was selected by drawing lots, he gave up the idea of going all out to strive for a good place, and he still had the confidence to break into the top ten.

Hualanting retained its strength in the next test and only took the test at the level of 60%.

In the first four rounds, his total score was 31 points, four points ahead of the latter disciple named Jiang Renyi, just ranked 10th.

The last round of dexterity test was a game of playing hamsters. The examinee waved a 500 kg hammer to hit 100 hamster models with random heads in 10 small holes.

Hua Lanting calculated that even if Jiang Renyi got a full score of 10, he could ensure the top 10 as long as he got seven points.

While waiting for the last test, a disciple leaned over and said to him:

"Brother, I'm Jiang Renyi. I'm next to you. Discuss it. I'll come out first later. No matter how many points I get, can you put water in front of you and let me row in front of you? It's your advantage. What do you think of 3000 spirit stones?"

Hua Lanting said in embarrassment, "that's not very good. Deacon Jiang also said just now that the level of the latter group of teachers may be higher. Senior brother, you might as well wait."

Jiang Renyi got closer and whispered, "to tell you the truth, a great craftsman in these divisions has promised to take me as an apprentice. You said that deacon Jiang is my uncle, who has strong joints. Brother, you know, don't you?"

Hualanting didn't have the so-called peak time sooner or later. After listening to this, I was not happy. I also lowered my face and said, "well, I can't promise you. I'd better rely on my ability. I naturally have nothing to say if you score high."

Jiang Renyi's face became a little ugly and said, "how about five thousand spirit stones? Think about it."

Seeing Hua Lanting continue to shake his head, he walked away with a black face.

In the subsequent dexterity test, Jiang Renyi got a high score of eight points, with a total score of 35 points.

When it was Hua Lanting's turn, he stopped when he hit the 50th mouse head, and finally squeezed Jiang Renyi out of the top ten by one point.

Hua Lanting turned back and clapped hands with the three people in the construction office to celebrate. He didn't notice Jiang Renyi staring at him and turned away.

After a while, Jiang Gongping announced the evaluation results. After everyone dispersed, please go to him in order to get the nameplate of Dong Mingfeng's disciple.

When hualanting passed the last time, Jiang Gongping smiled and said to him, "congratulations on becoming an official disciple of this peak. Come to Chongming cave in the peak at 15:30 tomorrow to draw lots to choose a teacher."

Hua Lanting took the nameplate and went down the mountain with Lin Xianjing.

The next morning, he came to Chongming cave on time. When he went in, he found that Jiang Gongping was sitting alone. He was wondering. Jiang Gongping asked, "Hua Lanting, what's the matter with you? It's agreed that the lottery will be drawn at the beginning of Mao hour. Why are you late?".

Hua Lanting was stunned: "didn't you say Mao's quarter yesterday? I wasn't late?"

Jiang Gongping said solemnly, "this is nonsense. The Deacon clearly said a moment. I think you heard it wrong."

Then he smiled and said, "don't worry, it doesn't matter, it won't affect anything. Nine of them have finished drawing lots, and there is still the last master of Shifeng cave."

"Although the wind tunnel master joined this peak soon and ranked last among the cave masters, those who can call the cave master are the strong. By the way, the wind tunnel master has a nickname called crazy cave master. The refining style is very crazy and has material. You will learn it well with him in the future. This is a map. Go to see him now."

Hua Lanting understood that he was cheated by his uncle and nephew Jiang Gongping. He made a set and gave himself a master with the lowest level. Now he was dumb, but he couldn't say anything. When he said the time, no one else could testify. Lao Mu said that the management of Dong Mingfeng was quite messy. It's really a proverb.

Hua Lanting took the map, looked at Jiang Gongping, turned his head and left. Before he left, he said, "I heard that the nephew of Deacon justice is about senior brother Renyi, right? I remember. Thank you. I'll see you later."

He looked at the map, searched all the way, and finally came to a cave. The bronze door of the cave is tall and imposing. Only the stone plaque engraved with the word "wind tunnel" on the door hangs askew on it, as if it had been blown askew by the wind.

Although Hua Lanting was angry in his heart, he was angry that he was secretly put forward by others. With his ease of mind, he had no resentment against the new master at the bottom. He believed that everyone had strengths and weaknesses, and the key to cultivation was to rely on himself.

However, he was slightly disappointed to see such a personality as a facade, which made him always do things orderly and neat.

Hua Lanting knocked on the door. No one answered. After knocking again, he tried to push it and found that the door was unlocked. He pushed open half the door and entered the hospital.

As soon as I went in, I was startled. The yard was even more messy than the "dog's Kennel" of easy LiuNian. There were strange ores and molds of large and small shapes stacked everywhere, and there was simply no place to go.

He shouted, but no one answered. It seems that the master is not at home. Hua Lanting didn't dare to enter the house. He casually found a stone and sat waiting.

Until the sun rose, the wind tunnel owner did not come back. Hua Lanting was so angry that he thought that as the saying goes, it's better to clean up the courtyard and leave a surprise and good impression on the new master.

He rolled up his sleeves to do it. Without much effort, he put the ore molds on the shelves by categories. The floor was also swept, splashed with clean water, wiped the sweat, and looked around with satisfaction. There was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

When the copper door turned, I didn't see anyone. I heard his voice first. I heard a man hoarse shout, "Mom, I'm going to the wrong door. I'm sorry. See you later."

When Hua Lanting greeted him at the door, the voice said again, "yes, it's my wind tunnel. This is, can't it? Is it a thief!"

Before the voice fell to the ground, a figure whirled in. After walking around the yard for a week, there was a howl like a broken Gong killing a pig: "who killed thousands of knives? Made the yard of the cave master so messy!"

Hua Lanting is still thinking about the definition of chaos. He has been grabbed by someone's neck and picked up. The man's face is close to him and roars, "who are you? Why are you sneaking in my yard? Who ordered you to do it?"

Hua Lanting quickly turned his head and raised his hands to answer, "good morning, master. I'm your new disciple. My name is Hua Lanting. You're old and loose. The disciple is out of breath."

The stranger said, "Apprentice? When did I say I was going to accept an apprentice? Oh, by the way, they asked me to sign something a few days ago. Maybe that's what they said."

"Finally, there are free volunteers again. Good thing. Hey, don't be so exaggerated. What's the tragedy? The cave master came to your chest and picked you up?" that's what he said. He still let go of his hand.

Hua Lanting smiled and finally saw the respect of the cave master, but he really didn't dare to compliment.

The wind tunnel master is short in stature, round in belly, thick in arms, with muscles, a stiff cardia, a rosacea, blurred eyes, a gray beard and dark yellow hair. To be exact, he is close to baldness. There are only a dozen or so people who are angry with each other, and no one is next to anyone.

At this time, the wind tunnel owner has changed his eyebrows and smiles. He looked at hualanting at the moment, looked kind and purposeful, and said, "well, it looks good enough to support the appearance."

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the clean and tidy courtyard from the corner of his eye, immediately jumped up and shouted, "you, first restore these babies to their original state!"

"I can know the position of each piece with my eyes closed. I can take it when I want to use it. You're in a mess."

"Mom, I've worked hard to find these. I'm reluctant to give them up like a lover. It's good for you not only to touch them, but also to move them."

"I tell you, it's just to restore the status quo ante. Otherwise, it's still two years before I accept you as an apprentice."

Hua Lanting looked at the surprised little old man and was speechless. He thought it would be better not to accept me, but he still returned the ore molds one by one.

The wind tunnel owner nodded again and again. His face turned into a smile and said, "it's good. It can actually return all the things to the original place without any mistakes. This memory can be."

The conversation then turned: "tell me, did you have bad luck, bad grades or offended people?"

"Why did you say that?"

"Nonsense, or you can be assigned to my apprentice?"

"What do you say?"

"The master of this cave is short in seniority, low in ranking, high in head, and has a bad reputation. None of the boys over the years has survived for half a year. They all hang * * and find another way to turn to the master."

"Then our teachers and disciples sympathize with each other. I'm the first one with low grades. I count backwards. I'm not old and good luck. I lie down and shoot whoever I don't take the initiative to provoke. I also offended the little devil in charge. I tripped over you just because I refused to give water to cheat."

"Well, that's interesting. Since there's ape dung, it seems inappropriate for me not to accept you? But I always have to take the exam. If I'm satisfied with the answer, I'll be my apprentice, and I'll have the chance to learn my unique skills and pass on my mantle; if the answer is wrong, I can only accept you as an apprentice, and the craft will teach you. After reaching the level of a forging master in three years, I'll leave the school and find a way out."

"You always ask questions."

"Listen, first question, who is the owner of this cave?"

"Ah? This disciple doesn't know. I only heard that your surname is Feng and your nickname is crazy cave master."

"Smelly boy, others only talk behind their backs, but you dare to shout to your face."

"I really want to learn and become a teacher. I dare not go against my heart."

"Sincerity? In this world, only liars can be sincere -- sincerity deceives you. Forget it, for your honesty, the first question passes. But you should remember my taboo name. The cave leader's surname is Feng, and his name is Shuang Zi. How about it? Loud? There are not many words in use now. How can he be famous without words!"

"Your name is fenghuolun, and the word is Naza. What's the relationship between the disciple's swollen foot and the third prince Nezha?"

"Come on, my father's name is not Li, my mentor is not Taiyi immortal, and I don't have lotus incarnation. I have nothing to do with him. However, the master's weapon is really called fire pointed gun, which is famous for the magic weapons heaven and earth circle and huntian Ling. The proud light skill is called scenery wheel. In addition, I have two gold bricks specially shooting people's back brain, only the Kowloon divine fire mask Not refined. "

"I'll go. Your name has nothing to do with the great God of the three altar sea meeting?"

"Are you going? Where are you going? Don't go anywhere until you finish answering the question. Now listen to my second question."
