Chapter 111 Public selection of apprentices, persistence and perseverance! 【44, please subscribe】

December 25th

Five days before the New Year's Eve, the Jingyang River outside Pingzhou was already crowded with people.

Today is the day when thirty-two sects, big and small, open their apprentice selection twice a year. All the surrounding families with children between the ages of twelve and sixteen have arrived here early, and everyone's face is full of scars. Full of hope.

Because this will be the best shortcut for many people to change their lives against the sky and escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

A large number of viewing platforms have been built by the river at this moment, and many deacons and disciples of various sects, various powerful and wealthy families, and even the government officials have sent people over.

On the thousand-foot-wide river, hundreds of large iron cables as thick as arms were hung across the river!

"This is the assessment item for the public selection of apprentices today." On a small hillside in the distance, Xu Youran introduced to Wei Han softly: "Those who want to join the major sects, as long as they meet the age requirements, no matter you are young Beggars are still disabled, as long as you have the ability to climb over, there will always be sects willing to take you in!"

"It doesn't matter if you can't climb it. The deacons of the major sects will use their eyesight and experience to distinguish each examiner's age, strength, physical condition, willpower and other comprehensive factors, and finally decide whether to accept it."

"There are no rules or constraints in this kind of assessment, and there is not even a standard. It all depends on the preferences of the deacons of the various sects. It is also a matter of luck."

"Um!"

Wei Han nodded upon hearing this.

This assessment is actually quite scientific.

This is not like a holy land of immortals, where one can use various means to test spiritual roots and root bones.

Ordinary martial arts talent is illusory and cannot be measured. It can only be considered by perseverance and physical fitness. This is also the experience passed down by various sects for hundreds of years.

Of course, those who fish in troubled waters must be indispensable among them!

There are even more cases of using power for personal gain, cheating and fooling people.

These are unavoidable, it can only be said that this assessment is only relatively fair.

"How many children do we have for the assessment?" Wei Han asked casually.

Xu Youran blushed, and spit secretly before saying: "Whoever has children with you, there are 87 children in the shantang who have reached the age of 12 and can participate in the assessment, and the remaining 274 people in the next two years can also follow suit." Participate. They have all been entered in the secret roster, and they have also set up a contact code, and they have taught each other in private."

"We don't need them to do anything on weekdays. We just go back to the Shantang to contact each other once a year as usual. If there is really something that needs to be done by them, or if we need to provide some information, we can contact them through codes."

Wei Han smiled again when he heard the words.

These children were taught by him himself.

Although none of the 87 people are top-notch martial arts talents, they are much stronger than the children from ordinary farm and artisan households. They should all be able to enter a good sect.

At three o'clock, a middle-aged fat man stood up.

His voice spread to the audience through his true energy: "Fathers and folks, today is another good day for major sects to openly select disciples twice a year. I am also very pleased to see the emergence of martial arts talents in Pingzhou Prefecture. Today I, Mo, will replace Fu Zun to preside over this assessment. I hope that everyone will be brave enough to win the crown! In addition, I also hope that the dragons and phoenixes of you will have a bright future, and don’t forget the cultivation of the imperial court, and don’t forget the Fu Zun. concern and love!"

The middle-aged fat man is full of enthusiasm and chatters!

When many people in the audience became impatient, this person announced the start of the assessment.

This scene made Wei Han frown secretly, and he also told Xu Youran: "Tell the children of Shantang not to be in the limelight, just show 70% to 80% potential, the dignified thirty-two sects of Pingzhou Prefecture, choose disciples The ceremony was presided over by someone sent by the Fu Zun, I'm afraid there is some kind of trick or game here."

"That's right!" Xu Youran said with a light smile, "You guessed right, the Fu Zun and the big families have always wanted to suppress the development of the sect's power, so they restrained each other to come up with such a ceremony. If you perform too well, you will be targeted."

"hehe!"

Wei Han smiled and continued watching the show!

This massive apprentice selection assessment begins.

Thousands of teenagers and girls directly climbed the iron chain under the urging of their families, and continued to climb towards the opposite bank.

These iron chains are all forged from large iron chains, and the whole body is icy cold, and this winter is so cold that people's hands will freeze if they are held in their hands, and they will lose temperature quickly when held in their arms.

Most of the children are of low strength!

They gritted their teeth and used their hands and feet together, constantly hanging upside down and crawling forward.

For many people, every meter is a torture.

Many who were exhausted or unable to withstand the severe cold screamed and fell into the Jingyang River on the spot. Fortunately, the river was not too fast, and there were still a large number of boats waiting on the river.

When someone falls into the river, the boatman will rescue them!

If he drowned before being rescued in time, he can only blame himself for his bad luck.

Every step forward these days, people at the bottom have to step through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Those who are unlucky will only die. This is a fact that everyone has tacitly accepted.

Gradually, some boys and girls stand out!

Most of them are children of wealthy businessmen or small families.

Given their family background, although they are not able to enter the major sects through the back door, they have nourished and exercised their bodies since childhood, so they have an advantage over ordinary poor teenagers, and they can climb up very fast!

After just a stick of incense, several teenagers in Chinese costumes crawled across the other bank!

They were immediately favored by many sects, and even several top sects threw olive branches at them.

"It's not fair!"

Many people in the crowd flushed with anger.

Wei Han sneered dumbly, isn't it fair? how come?

Warrior's Dao family background is also a help, and now this simple assessment has given ordinary people a chance. If they enter the martial arts sect to practice, the gap between those who have help and those who have not will be infinitely widened.

There is no real fairness in the world!

Gradually, the children of Shantang began to climb.

They dispersed under the leadership of Coach Wang, and did not attract anyone's attention. Only Wei Han's sharp eyesight recognized them from hundreds of feet away.

"Zhou Yi? Wang Pengfei? Li Liangji?"

"Fu Cuiyun, Liu Xizhao, Liu Weiwei!"

Wei Han recognized them one by one.

He has personally taught each of these boys and girls, and he is very familiar with them, and he can recognize them from the chaotic crowd at a glance.

They were very competitive, each of them gritted their teeth and climbed forward!

Even though the big iron chains froze their hands and feet, they never gave up.

These orphans are more powerful than he imagined!

They are all people who have experienced suffering in the world. They know that happiness is hard-won, and now they are given a chance to climb up.

Compared to those children from rich families who have exercised since childhood, although they are not outstanding, they are much better than ordinary children from poor families.

After a lot of hard work, many of them have caught the eyes of the deacons of the major sects!

"It's done!" Xu Youran said in surprise: "Resources, talent, character, perseverance, and foundation are the top priorities in the selection of candidates by the major sects. They account for both foundation and perseverance, although they will not be snapped up. , but you definitely don’t have to worry about not being able to enter the sect.”

Ask for a ticket and ask for a reward
