sword sentient beings

"Qu Huan, male, seventeen years old, selected by Zhongtian Mansion. Jiazi class, three years in the camp, one reward, no record of punishment. Oh, he is the same age as me again, a native of Zhongtian Mansion."

In a separate room, Tang Zhao was flipping through dozens of student materials.

"Middle grade grades: liberal arts, upper middle. Arithmetic, upper middle. Art of War, upper upper. Intelligence, upper upper. Riding and archery, upper upper. Medicine and poisoning, upper middle. Martial arts, sword practice, upper upper." , No. [-]. The external strength goes up, the second. The internal strength goes up, the second. Either the first or the second. Powerful, powerful."

"Senior grades: the introduction to God-watching, the introduction to Gangqi..." Tang Zhao thoughtfully, "It seems that the training camp does not have high requirements for God-watching and Gangqi. That's the same. That's right, after three years of training, the internal and external skills are not enough, so why bother to force Guanshen and Xuangong?"

Xuan Gong is a course for senior grades, so it is just called "Basic of Xuan Gong".

It can even be said that the reason why the courses of Xuangong and Guanshen are set up is not to allow students to develop some kind of aura and spiritual power, but more to confirm whether the students have this qualification.

It's not to confirm whether you can practice Xuangong, but to confirm whether your inspiration will increase after practicing Xuangong.

Tang Zhao put Qu Huan's dizzying report card aside, and continued to look through the information.

"Inspiration test, recorded on August [-], Bingyin year, nine inches and two points. It was the record a month ago."

This inspired unit...

Why not Duan?

"Inspiration, seven paragraphs."

How does this feel?
Inspiration is the only grade with a specific value, and the rest of the courses are nothing more than nine grades and rankings.After all, most of the training camp exams are practical. There are few papers, and most of them are theory and analysis questions. It is difficult to get accurate paper scores except for mathematics.

In addition to internal strength, the martial arts only depends on winning or losing, not on indicators.Even if you are tens of catties stronger than others, if you lose in the martial arts competition, you lose.

Inspiration can be quantified only in recent years, and there is no unified standard that prevails in the world.The training camp has customized brand new teaching aids.Similar to a scroll of paper that is several feet long, inspiration can make ink marks appear on it, and it becomes more and more difficult as it goes backwards.Finally, measure the length of the ink blot, one foot is the minimum standard for becoming a swordsman.

Nine inches and two points are already very close to the swordsman line. This is the result of a month ago.Inspiration is tested every three months, and the last two months are the final test at the final exam.

In the remaining two months, I should work hard to continue practicing mystical skills, and I should be able to meet the standard, right?
Although Qu Huan hoped to reach the standard, he was just barely enough, and he was just average in the camp.Compared with other outstanding students, Qu Huan's inspiration is by no means high, it can only be said to be passable.

After all, there are still too few geniuses with that kind of innate inspiration level, and the premature death rate is very high - if the inspiration is too high, it is easy to be violated by dirty things like phantoms, and many of them die unexplained.

If the training camp only searched for teenagers with outstanding inspiration, even Gao Yuanhou, who owns a state, would not be able to gather a hundred children every year.Most of the hundred youngsters in each session are youngsters with good potential recommended by counties, counties and sub-towns.

Some of these teenagers have extraordinary talents and outstanding inspiration, while others have both civil and military skills but mediocre inspiration.It doesn't matter, after practicing Xuan Gong, everything will be fine. …

Xuan Gong can increase inspiration, and this discovery is the key to the emergence of swordsmen today, surpassing the ancient ones.The better the profound art, the more in line with the individual's physique, the more inspiration will be added, and even a child with no inspiration can be promoted to the swordsman standard in a few years - if his mysterious art is good enough.

The profound arts in the training camp are quite good, and there are several types for the youngsters to choose according to their individual needs.After practicing, more than [-]% of people can grow to the bottom line of inspiration needed by swordsmen before graduation.There are also [-]% of people who practice self-cultivation after leaving the training camp, and can reach the standard before the age of thirty.These can be broadly classified as swordsman seeds.

Cruelly, even with such superior conditions, [-]% of the teenagers will be stuck.Either because you don't work hard, or because you don't have enough natural talent.

This is where God is unfair.

Like before Tang Zhao saw some people's files, many people's grades were not as good as Qu Huan's, but as early as a year or two years ago, their inspiration exceeded one foot.For example, Ouyang Zhou, whose grades were similar to his, stopped taking the test with a perfect score a year ago.You may even have to pay for the retest.The painstaking effort they spent on cultivating profound arts may be far less than that of Qu Huan, but they are so talented that they are better than him.

And if it's Tang Zhao, he doesn't even need teaching aids to measure, and a discerning eye can tell he has talent at a glance.He wanted to test it, the length of the ink blot was only related to the limit of the length of the paper roll.

But then again, God has never been fair elsewhere.Like Qu Huan, he can say that he is both civil and military, but his spiritual training has not been smooth, and now he can only barely reach the standard, which may block his future as a swordsman, and the heavens are unfair to him.But his excellent civil and military talents and superior family background are not envied by many people.God is enough to like him.

Not to mention the hungry and cold children outside, even in the training camp, in the file that Tang Zhao just read, there are more pity than him.

The last few pages of the material are orientation tests.It was the one Tang Zhao planned to go through the back door for Wei Se to test.

Until today, there is still no recognized test method for inspiration direction.The direction is so strange that it is difficult to sum it up without any omissions, and any method has its shortcomings.Therefore, the well-established sects will use various methods to test several times and make a comprehensive judgment.Bootcamp offers at least four approaches.

The roughest method is the four-level test of "Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind".In more detail, there are twelve options for the growth and death of heaven, earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, mountains and swamps... That's right, it is the configuration of the four seasons and eight trigrams, the turtle and the twelve pillar kingdoms.This is also the most widely used test method.

Another more accurate method is the symbol matching method, which is to use various basic symbols to filter, and there are more than [-] choices.As long as it is matched, the range can be accurately delineated.The disadvantage is that it is too precise and there are not enough places in the middle of the model lake, and many people are missed and cannot be selected.

The last one is a method that only Yunzhou has.

Tang Zhao picked up the last few pages, which were all about the same content.

graffiti.

Sheets of blank paper are filled with strange lines drawn with charcoal. One or two sheets can be vaguely imagined as some kind of scene, but most of them are completely meaningless strokes, which are randomly crossed and stacked together. It is difficult for even an urchin to draw. Come up with such an unclear pattern. …

Tang Zhao stared at the papers, thoughtful.

At this moment, the door of the room opened, and two young men came in, it was Wei Se and Pei Renfeng.Pei Renfeng was somewhat tired, while Wei Se looked calm.

Tang Zhao raised his head and smiled, "Come out? Sit down. How about it?"

Wei Se handed a few pieces of paper to Tang Zhao.

Just now, he was going to test the direction of his inspiration.Pei Renfeng often helps people test inspiration and knows how to use various magic tools, so she was entrusted by Tang Zhao to help him test them one by one.

Dangerous color's inspiration is fine, otherwise he wouldn't pursue becoming a swordsman.He had been trained much more harshly than the training camp since he was a child, and to be able to survive and occupy a place is naturally due to his talent and cultivation.Tang Zhao also used the method of a talisman swordsman in Zhuoyu Villa before, that is, the talisman matching method to measure his direction, and the basic talisman selected at the beginning was "nei".Now change the method and measure it several times for accuracy.

"Wind..."

The four-level test method measures the wind, and the level closest to "empty" exists, which is elusive and relatively rare.Four seasons and eight directions are "Ji", which represents the withering loneliness of autumn.

Pei Renfeng was very surprised by the side, and thought: This teaching assistant is quite cheerful and talkative, how come the measured directions are all gloomy?That's right, the direction of inspiration and temperament are not related at all. Who said that a cheerful person can't have a direction of death?I think more.

How did he know that even though he was smart, he was still a young man from a rich family, the city mansion and Wei Se were completely different, and he didn't even see through the skin of Wei Se.

Tang Zhao only glanced at the other answers before looking at the last graffiti.

Dangerous color graffiti is very simple, just a few lines are intertwined and involved, which is much more refreshing than other graffiti that can't wait to fill a piece of paper.

Tang Zhao pondered, "How did it feel when you tested this?"

Wei Se said: "I just entered a house with four walls of white walls. There is only a table in the room with paper and pens. I sit on the table. There is an ornament in front of it, like a gemstone bead and an eye. "

Tang Zhao thought to himself, this is Gao Yuanhou's magic weapon.This kind of test was originally developed by Gao Yuanhou.

"Then I stared at that eye and looked at it. Gradually, I entered a mysterious state, as if my mind was very clear, but I couldn't remember anything. Then a voice asked me: 'What are you thinking about? Write it out.’ I couldn’t help but pick up the pen and write according to his instructions, and write whatever comes to mind. I thought I wrote a lot, but when I woke up, the paper was full of graffiti. I can’t remember what I wanted to write .”

Tang Zhao nodded as he listened. He remembered that Gao Yuanhou had recorded the idea of ​​developing this test method—trying to simulate the state of a swordsman when he was enlightened.

Tang Zhao took the sword himself, and remembers that his thoughts were clear at that time, but many common sense memories faded, as if there was only a single soul floating there.Gao Yuanhou's imitation was very successful, but there is a section, after he realized the sword independently, he can retain a clear memory, and even often reminisce.But this test didn't seem to work. Once the memory faded away like a dream, it was difficult for the person in the test to write down his thoughts clearly.

Because Wujian is in a "natural" state. At this time, people have ideas but no "knowledge". Writing is also a kind of knowledge. It is a process in which people record their thoughts with specific symbols.People's thoughts and emotions do not come according to words. Without the intermediary of words, the direct output of thoughts is more difficult to receive than telecommunication signals.

Wei Se said: "Can you know what I was thinking at that time?"

Pei Renfeng next to him said: "Don't be too embarrassing. I didn't say... This method is unique and advanced, but it's a bit too advanced, but it's useless. It can only be used as a reference for records. It's not something that humans can interpret. It's better to go to In the Taoist temple, invite an old Taoist who understands Fushi to take a look."

Tang Zhao was also amused, and said, "It's really hard to understand. But yours is a little clearer, it should be... confusing."
