Chapter 232 Meeting before the Road

The Dao Sword Sect will hold a Dao Qian knocking on the door every fifty years, and three years before the Dao Qian knock on the door, the Dao Sword Sect will recruit disciples from outside, which is the Dao Dao Ceremony.

So the time to knock on the door in front of the road is the first day of May. Therefore, the time of the Asking Ceremony is also the first day of May.

Did you see it? The key point is to knock on the door before the way. The wave of disciples accepted by the Wendao Grand Ceremony were just there to make up the number.

So, what exactly is knocking before the road?

On the surface, knocking on the door in front of the road is an elegant name for the sect's assessment. Consider whether the newly admitted disciples can go far on the path of seeking immortality.

But in fact, there is really one door in Daojianmen, one door, Daomen.

Knocking before the Tao means literally knocking on the door of the Tao.

Knocking on this door and going inside to practice and gain enlightenment is the greatest opportunity that the entire sect of Daojian Sect can give to its disciples.

And every time there are ten people who can enter the Taoist sect to practice and gain enlightenment! To a certain extent, they are the ten people on the list of geniuses.

Of course, the world is still uncertain and everyone is a dark horse. Therefore, those who can actually enter the Taoist sect are those who rank in the top ten in the sect's assessment of knocking on the door before Taoism.

These ten people are not necessarily the ten people on the list of geniuses.

However, having said that, even if they do not enter the Taoist sect, those who have excellent results in the assessment will receive good practice resources in their subsequent practice career.

On April 20th this year, the headmaster notified the chiefs and elders of each peak and lineage to go to the Tao Dao Hall to make overall arrangements.

Naturally, Qin Ran also received the news and rushed over in time.

In such an occasion, no matter whether you arrive early or late, you will actually attract people's attention, so in order not to attract attention, Qin Ran always takes the time to blend in with the crowd when everyone enters. field.

However, even though he did the same thing today, he still attracted the attention of others.

Liu Boxian, the leader of Sword Peak, saw him from a distance and walked straight towards him.

"Master Nephew Qin?" Liu Boxian greeted.

Qin Ran saluted with neither humility nor arrogance, and called: "Uncle Liu."

"I heard that your apprentice is amazing!" Liu Boxian said with a smile.

Qin Ran replied: "No, it's just normal practice."

"Normal practice?" Liu Boxian shook his head and was very familiar with Li Shiyin's achievements, "I understood the sword energy, created my own swordsmanship, squeezed out the disciples of Senior Brother He, and made it to the list of geniuses, and still crossed the border to challenge, such a famous figure in the sect, Is this normal?"

It seems that he has been paying attention to Li Shiyin! So we can know that when Li Shiyin performs better, the more he regrets it. Even now, his intestines are probably green...

Why didn't he persist a little longer? That turned out to be his Jianfeng disciple!

"Evil disciples are more diligent in their cultivation..." Qin Ran said.

In fact, in Kieran's opinion, if Li Shiyin was taken in by Jianfeng, she might not have the results she has today. Let’s look at Tian Wenjin. He is as talented as Li Shiyin. How much suffering has he experienced after entering Sword Peak?

...Fortunately, he understood at that time that Li Shiyin went to Jianfeng to compete with a group of geniuses for the resources of Jianfeng, while Qin Ran did his best to cultivate Li Shiyin in Danfeng.

"Junior Brother Qin is indeed humble." Liu Boxian could only smile.

"I heard..." At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind. Qin Ran looked and saw that it was He Daoguang, the leader of Qi Peak. He said with a smile, "There are four sword cultivators in total on the list of geniuses today, but Is it true that only two of them are Jianfeng disciples?”

Qin Ran only nodded to He Daoguang and then remained silent.

Liu Boxian looked at He Daoguang, with a flash of sword light in his eyes, but he still laughed and said: "My disciples are naughty and don't want to practice. Only two of them can be on the list. They deserve it."

But his words changed and he suddenly said, "But I also heard that Qi Peak disciple Song Ze was knocked off the Tianjiao list by Danfeng disciple Li Shiyin with a sword; I also heard that Qi Peak disciple Ye Qingxuan was defeated by Danfeng disciple Li Shiyin Of course, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, but it’s not a big deal. It’s just that they were defeated by people crossing the border.”

"You!" He Daoguang pointed at Liu Boxian, glanced at Qin Ran, and walked forward angrily.

When the two were arguing, Qin Ran just lowered his head, pretending that he couldn't hear these things. When He Daoguang walked far away, he looked up and thought, "You are so petty. It's no wonder Shiyin hates you."

"Ha! Let's go!" Liu Boxian patted Qin Ran on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, Senior Brother He has always been like this."

Qin Ran glanced at him and thought that you are not a good person, so he pushed him out to confront He Daoguang.

After sneaking into the ceremony, Qin Ran found the location of Danfeng and sat down in the most inconspicuous place.

He raised his head and looked at Gu Yueming, the leader in the center of the hall, and found that even now, the leader still looked bad and his breath was unstable.

The leader, Gu Yueming, was at the center of the battlefield during the incident of the Devouring Demonic Willow. He faced the Demonic Devouring Willow at the Hedao stage and was seriously injured. After the incident with the Extremely Devouring Demonic Willow, he has been in seclusion to heal his wounds. Recently, he had to hold a door-knocking ceremony before leaving seclusion to take charge of affairs.

Seeing the leader like this, Qin Ran was even more worried, thinking that the outer sect forces would take advantage of this opportunity to take down the Dao Sword Sect in one fell swoop...

After everyone from all peaks and veins had arrived, Gu Yueming sat cross-legged in the center of the hall and said:

"Following the rules set by the predecessors of the Dao Sword Sect, the Dao Sword Sect conducts a selection every fifty years and selects the ten best people in the sect to enter the Tao Sect to practice."

Although he used magic to make everyone in the hall hear his voice, Qin Ran could clearly hear the weakness in his voice.

He looked at the headmaster, and as an old shaman, he suddenly began to think that perhaps the headmaster had discovered the chaos in the sect and was pretending to be weak to fish?

"... The fifty-year deadline is coming soon. We will hold a grand ceremony..."

As traditional, although he was too weak to speak, Gu Yueming still talked about it from ancient times to the present. He first talked about what knocking on the door before the sermon was, then talked about the geniuses and past glories that appeared after knocking on the door before the sermon, then talked about the prizes of this year, and finally talked about the rules of selection. Finally, he assigned tasks to the elders and the chiefs.

The leader's speech lasted for more than two hours, which further confirmed Qin Ran's guess in his heart. Otherwise, you see that the headmaster looked like he was going to die while talking, and he didn't die at the end, and he still looked like he was dying...

After the meeting, Qin Ran took on the task of refereeing.

As for the selection mechanism of knocking on the door in front of the Tao, it is like this.

With the style of this dark cultivation world, it is natural to fight!

And it is a single round-robin elimination system!

In other words, all the names of the disciples accepted in the past fifty years, whether they are menial disciples, ordinary inner disciples, or direct disciples, are mixed together, randomly drawn and paired, the winner will go to the next round, and the loser will be eliminated directly.

Until the final candidate is selected.

No matter whether Lu Junxing and Liu Baiyun will face each other in the first round, and no matter whether there are menial disciples in the top ten in the end, knocking on the door in front of the Tao is a real and cruel game.

It aims to tell the disciples that there is no fairness, there will be coincidences, there will be luck, but... this is the cultivation world.
