Chapter 104 (1/2)
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.
