"How lofty is that person's status, then Yuan Jie might not even see his face, so how can he talk about something he doesn't like?"
The dwarf old man laughed dumbfounded, and explained: "But that one did give Luomen the chance to follow him ten years ago, but none of the disciples of Luomen at that time met the requirements. Luomen recruits disciples once in a hundred years. Why? Making an exception today? I’m afraid it’s because I want to find a good seed so that I can get on line with that one.”
"That one is becoming more and more popular now, and the Luomen is getting weaker and weaker. If you want to revive the family, it is inevitable to follow the trend. Think about it, in this case, the Luomen is eager to seek talents, and at this time they have passed the assessment. First, the chances of being introduced to that one will naturally increase, which is why you tried to get the first place before."
"However, now that Yuan Jie has grabbed the first place, and he can still shock the results of the nine prophets, it shows how talented he is. You are already a big step behind him. If this continues, I am afraid that this opportunity will be completely lost. .”
The dwarf old man sighed again and again. What he said made Shao Heyang feel even more depressed. He secretly sighed that his luck was bad, and he met such a strong competitor.
"Ten years ago when the big man surnamed Gu came to Luomen, it is said that many disciples of Luomen were killed or injured. There may be something hidden in the whole matter. Even if we hit that line, it may not be luck." Shao Heyang comforted himself. , besides thinking like this, what else can he do?
"What happened ten years ago is indeed strange, but the matter of the quota will not be false. The Shao family has been filial to Prophet Dong for a long time, so he will not deceive us about this kind of thing." The dwarf old man shook his head.
"Hmph, that Prophet Dong is also useless. If he really treats my Shao family differently, he can take me as a disciple directly. Why beat around the bush?" Shao Heyang complained.
The old dwarf's expression changed when he heard this, and he looked around nervously. "Young master, please be careful! The prophets of Luomen know everything. If you are dissatisfied with him, he can see through it at a glance when you are in front of him. If you make him unhappy, it is not good for you!"
"Old Wei thinks too highly of those prophets, a group of guys who go out of the mountains all day long..."
Shao Heyang muttered a few words, feeling a little guilty, after all, he had heard a lot of the magical methods of the Prophet Luomen, so his voice became quieter when he spoke.
"Until now, the young master is still preparing for the inner sect assessment. If the performance in the inner sect assessment is good enough, there is still a chance."
The old dwarf said a few words of comfort, and then left.
Shao Heyang was left alone in the room. Thinking of all the things during the day, he still couldn't get through his thoughts, and he couldn't sleep all night.
After the dwarf old man left, without anyone noticing, on the roof of Shao Heyang's room, a motionless sculpture-like dragonfly blinked its compound eyes.
In the middle of the night, a small dragonfly flew into the open window of Gu Chen's room. Gu Chen, who was practicing cross-legged, immediately opened his eyes and stretched out his fingers.
The little dragonfly landed on his fingertips, and conveyed some messages to him through the faint fluctuations of spiritual thoughts.
Because of the vigilance in his heart, Gu Chen asked the dragon monster to pay attention to the troubles at the outer door, and Shao Heyang had murderous intentions towards him, so the dragon monster would naturally report such things.
Gu Chen learned that the dragon monster spy had heard the private conversation between Shao Heyang and the dwarf old man, and he didn't take Shao Heyang's killing intent seriously, but became interested in the inside story mentioned by the two.
"An important person surnamed Gu? There is another mystery hidden in Luomen's entrance examination?"
Gu Chen's expression was cloudy and uncertain, for some reason his eyelids twitched when he heard that someone with the same surname as him had come to Luomen.
"Intensify the monitoring of Shao Heyang, and find a way to find out what happened in Luomen ten years ago."
Gu Chen quickly gave new instructions to the dragon monster, then closed his eyes and re-entered the practice.
Candidates who passed the outer door examination did not have to wait for a few days before they ushered in the inner door assessment.
Gu Chen originally thought that the prophets would be in charge of the inner sect assessment, maybe he could meet Fang Shijie, but he was disappointed in the result.
No prophet appeared during the inner sect assessment, and naturally Fang Shijie did not appear either. He had no way of knowing which prophet snatched Fang Shijie as an apprentice that day, and what Fang Shijie did in the gossip map.
The person in charge of the assessment is still the elder of Luomen. The difference from last time is that this time the Bagua diagram is gone, and there are a bunch of large and heavy Taoist artifacts in the assessment place.
"Today we will test your Dougen, physique, mental strength and other aspects. The test results will eventually be handed over to the prophets. Based on your test results, the prophets will decide whether to accept one to enter the inner gate."
The elders of Luomen briefly introduced the rules of the next assessment. Hearing such an assessment method, the expressions of some newcomers couldn't help but darken.
The current assessment method is actually the most common among major sects when recruiting disciples. It is normal to give treatment according to qualifications.
However, Luomen is not an ordinary sect. Its particularity makes its requirements for recruiting disciples very different from others, making it possible for some mediocre people to pass the examination.
These people with mediocre qualifications finally came in. Originally, they were looking forward to being caught by the prophet's eyes. Who would have thought that the prophet didn't plan to meet them at all, and used the most universal standard to measure them. How could he not let them feel hurt?
Under the universal assessment method, some people's grades are doomed from the very beginning.
No matter what the new disciples thought, a large Taoist instrument shone brightly and began to check everyone's qualifications.
The newcomers lined up for inspection, and Gu Chen was at the back of the line, waiting calmly.
Before entering Luomen, he knew about possible inspections and made corresponding preparations, so he was not flustered.
This kind of qualification inspection may be done differently in various sects of Hongmeng Dao Realm, but there is no difference in essence.
The so-called qualifications, the first is Dogen.
What is Daogen, in the eyes of people in Hongmeng Dao Realm, is a person's innate cultivation aptitude, including what kind of law he is suitable for practicing, and how talented he is in practicing this kind of law.
According to the attributes, Dao roots include the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as other kinds of Dao roots such as dark wind and thunder, which are strange and innumerable.
According to the grades of Daogen, there are also low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, precious and divine grades.
This grade division is the same as the original division of the monks of the Chaos Sea. Is it a coincidence?
of course not.
The so-called dao root in Hongmeng Dao Realm is actually the original power that the monks of Chaos Sea said!
It's just that the creatures in the Dao world are bathed in the primordial vitality and grow up, and they are born with the original power, that is, they have Dao roots, while the monks in the Chaos Sea can only have it through cultivation.
