Slow and immortal

Chapter 60

Behind Xiao Yao, the young man stood on tiptoe and looked at the line of dozens of people in front of him, frowning slightly.Then he turned his eyes to Xiao Yao, hesitated for a while, then walked up to her, bowed politely and said, "Xiaosheng Liu Xi is so polite, how dare I ask this fellow Taoist to call you?"

Xiao Yao took a few casual glances at this gentle man who appeared out of nowhere: this man is as cultivated as himself at the early stage of the golden core, dressed in light blue clothes, with a crown tied on his hair, humble and polite, looks She doesn't look like a monk at all, she smells like a scholar.

Although he was puzzled, he saw that this person was humble and sincere.Xiao Yao consciously upholds the virtue of being polite, so she also smiled and replied politely: "I'm Xia Xiao Yao."

Liu Xi shook his head and cupped his hands in a dazed look, "So it's Daoist Xiao, disrespectful, disrespectful. Although it's a bit rude to say we met for the first time, Xiaosheng still has an unfeeling request. I hope fellow Daoist can fulfill Xiaosheng." After finishing speaking He blushed a little shyly.

Xiao Yao thought to herself: Where did this strange person come from?The two had never known each other before, and as soon as he ran up, he reported his family and asked others for help, which seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.If it weren't for this person who was polite, humble and courteous from the beginning to the end, and his eyes were clear and calculating, she would have long since refused to talk to him.Could it be that he was very lucky?Meet another male version of "Zhu Zhenzhen"?
"This fellow Taoist, please tell me first if you have something to do, so that I can know if I can help you." Based on the principle of neither being able to make friends nor wanting to make grudges, Xiao Yao did not directly refuse but planned to listen to his request before make judgments.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is too modest, but it's actually just a trivial matter, um...can you change places with Xiaosheng?" After talking about it, Liu Xi even blushed with embarrassment.

Just for this?Xiao Yao was speechless, squinting her eyes suspiciously and looked him over from beginning to end.

After a while, Liu Xi saw that the person did not speak, and he didn't know whether the other person agreed or disagreed. Then she looked at him with a strange smile on her face, and she began to explain incoherently.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao is like this. Xiaosheng still has some things to do in the second half of the day. There are so many people queuing up here. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get to Xiaosheng in the afternoon, so I want to ask fellow daoist to help you. It's convenient. If you don't want to when……"

"can."

Before he finished talking, Xiao Yao automatically stood at the back. Anyway, there is no difference between the penultimate and the penultimate. The right should be convenient for others, and do good deeds to accumulate virtue.

She suddenly readily agreed to make Liu Xi stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't change her thoughts and said dully: "Uh... Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xiao, Xiaosheng is very grateful."

He originally thought that he would waste more words, and even prepared to be rejected, but he didn't expect to meet a girl who is so straightforward, which is really rare.Thinking of being grateful, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Yao more.

Similarly, Xiao Yao was also secretly observing this person, although it was a trivial matter to change positions, why didn't he go further ahead to find someone else to change?How much time can't be saved if there is only one less person in front?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Liu Xi bowing to the strong man in front of him and saying: "The Taoist friend in front, Xiaosheng Liu Xi is very polite..."

Obviously this time his luck was not so good. Before he finished speaking, the strong man didn't look back or look at him, and just dropped a sentence

"No change."

Liu Xi touched his nose slightly and retreated to his seat in embarrassment.Probably this person has just heard the conversation between him and Xiao Yao, and he is very unwilling to give up his position so easily.

Seeing this, Liu Xi took the door shut and returned to his original position to stand obediently, and did not make any further moves.For some reason, Xiao Yao felt uncomfortable with that polite and aggrieved look, and felt an urge to grab him and pry open his head to see what was inside.

Unable to hold back the entanglement of various questions, she said: "If fellow daoist is in a hurry, you can go to the front to have a look, maybe someone is willing to exchange with fellow daoist."

But Liu Xi seemed to be in a daze and didn't hear it, and just stared blankly ahead.Seeing that there was no response from the other party, Xiao Yao naturally stopped being troublesome, she curled her lips and continued to line up.

After about a cup of tea, Liu Xi suddenly looked flattered and turned around and pointed his finger at his nose.
"Did Fellow Daoist Xiao just now talk to Xiaosheng?"

In an instant, Xiao Yao's eyebrows twitched unconsciously, all kinds of irritability in her stomach, this young man is "Zhu Zhenzhen" second, right? !
Seeing that she didn't answer, Liu Xi smiled embarrassedly, and scratched his head with the fan in his hand: "What Xiao Daoyou said is very true, although it is a good method, but in Xiaosheng's opinion, he ran to the front to exchange with the first person at the beginning. Even if the person agrees to the location, it doesn’t mean that the people behind him will agree willingly. Jumping in line without other people’s consent is really not a gentleman’s behavior.”

Xiao Yao raised her eyebrows: So let's start from the last person and ask them one by one, treating them like a gentleman?You didn't let you jump in line, you just changed places with someone else.For others, there are already people in front, as long as the number of people does not increase, no one cares that the person in front of them is Zhang San instead of Li Si!
But to the pedantic man in front of me, can she make it clear? Xiao Yao continued to offer another suggestion with a mind of being bored to pass the time.

"If Fellow Daoists give some spirit stones to others in exchange, I think everyone will be 'very willing' to help you."

She deliberately emphasized the word "very willing", hoping that he could understand.

"That's right! Why didn't my wooden fish brain think of it?!"

Liu Xi suddenly came back to his senses, a fan hit his palm and shouted excitedly.But the excited expression lasted only for a moment, and then his eyes dimmed again, and he blushed and said embarrassingly: "But... I don't have a spirit stone with me..."

Xiao Yao: "..."

At this point, she no longer had the patience to make any suggestions, and she even felt that this person was better than "Zhu Zhenzhen"!
After that, I didn't say anything to him, and Liu Xi also consciously stood in the penultimate position, shaking his head and continuing to recite poems.

"Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty and your temples are like frost. At night, you dream and return home. Xiaoxuan window, you are dressing up. There are no words for each other, but there are thousands of tears. It is expected that the heart will be broken every year..."

At noon, all the monks heard the "dang" sound of the gong, and immediately all concentrated their energy.The sound of the gong means that the assessment for recruiting nominal disciples has officially begun!
Disciples from the five sects began to come out one after another to bring the candidates into the examination venue.The Artifact Refining Sect did not pass the examination one by one as Liu Xi thought, nor did it enter the examination hall in batches like the other four sects. Put the heavy hammer in the center of the courtyard.

A middle-aged cultivator whose cultivation base was in the middle stage of Jindan, with snow-white hair, but looked like he was only in his fifties, walked out of it.I saw that although his hair was white, his body was very muscular, his broad shoulder blades and full muscles stretched his chest, and his eyes were sharp and shiny.He looked like a top martial arts master in the world of mortals.

"Listen up, everyone who wants to enter the Artifact Refining School! I am the examiner who will be in charge of assessing you today——Zhong Xun."

When he opened his mouth, he was full of air, his voice was like a bell, and his momentum was extraordinary.And pointed at the sledgehammer and said:
"The assessment for entering the sect today is very simple. There is only one hurdle: you can swing this heavy hammer more than [-] times, and smash the black iron on the shape-shifter to enter. The assessment is not carried out in the assessment hall, but in the inner courtyard." The purpose is for everyone to see clearly and be able to testify: If you meet the conditions, you can immediately become a nominal disciple of our Artifact Refining Sect, and you will know if you are a real kung fu or just an empty show! There is no deception!"

Such bold and transparent assessment rules immediately aroused the blood of the strong men, and the strong men in the queue were all eager to try!Even the other former monks who were queuing up next to it and hadn't yet had their turn to be assessed applauded loudly and watched the show with great interest.

Seeing a group of tall and strong monks with their eyes shining, Zhong Xun nodded in satisfaction
"If there is no objection, then I will announce: the assessment has officially begun!"

Although this heavy hammer is only as big as a pig, it seems that it is not difficult to lift it compared with the stature of strong men.Only Qi Lianzong's own disciples know in their hearts: Although this hammer looks small, it is made of heavy iron, the heaviest material among irons, and the weight of such a heavy hammer is astonishingly heavy, more than 1000 catties!
Those who haven't tried it can't tell from the appearance at all, and even underestimate it based on its external shape.This was the case with the first brawny man on the field, and he shouted with confidence: "Today, sir, I will be the No. I have to wave it three hundred times for you to see!"

After finishing speaking, he spat into his palms, rubbed his hands vigorously, grabbed the handle of the hammer with both hands and shouted: "Hey!"

All the onlookers waited with bated breath, and finally the hammer was picked up, but it was very wobbly.Then look at the strong man's face flushed from suffocation, and his footsteps are a little weak.He threw all his strength towards the black iron on the ground, but when he went down, he almost lost his hand due to too much inertial force, so he didn't hit the black iron at all, but smashed it on the bluestone next to him. slate.

Then the second blow was more strenuous than the first one, but the sledgehammer was only lifted less than a foot from the ground, and it also smashed crookedly.For the third time, when he lifted the sledgehammer, his hand immediately softened, and the sledgehammer fell to the ground with a "bang", and he collapsed to the ground at the same time.Now the rhetoric he said before was as ridiculous as slapping a swollen face and pretending to be a fat man, which caused the monks who were watching the excitement to boo.

Zhong Xun looked at the burly man lying on the ground panting with a sneer, and pointed out: "Our Qi Refining Sect does not accept waste that cannot be lifted with thirty heavy hammers! I advise everyone not to underestimate this Hammer, although this hammer is small, it weighs more than a thousand catties. You must have thought about whether you can hold it and how many times you can swing it. Before you challenge, you should weigh your own catties. If you give up at the right time, no one will laugh at you. Talking big but can't do it, losing face and being the butt of everyone's laughing stock. Next!"

As soon as these words came out, all the participants in the assessment looked serious, not daring to despise laughter.Many people also withdrew from the team one after another and stood on the sidelines to watch.In the end, there were less than 20 people left, including Xiao Yao and Liu Xi.
