Chapter 9: Pick a star

In today's world, the practice is dominated by the authenticity of the Xuanmen, the main source of the true element is the sky full of stars-the light of the Ming Dynasty pays attention to the word "bright", and it is the starlight that illuminates the night dome. Then, gather the stars, rely on thousands of stars to sprinkle the energy of the world, transform the mortal body and soul, this is the ultimate goal of cultivation, from which one can imagine the word "star" in the status of cultivation circle. There are stargazing observatories in various gates of various countries. There are countless stargazing towers in Dachuan, but they rarely see names like the stars and stars, because it will seem a little disrespectful to the stars.
But the second college on Chen Changsheng's list was awesomely called the Star Picking Academy.
Picking the stars-This college has taken such a domineering name, but the state religion has no opinion. This matter is very domineering in itself.
There is only one college in the world that dares to use and is qualified to use this name.
Because this college is directly under the military of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has trained countless brave and determined young people over the years, and the generals who come out are numerous. The terrifying battle with the Devil many years ago, the early stage of humanity was on the verge of extinction. The Star Picking Academy went from the Dean to the ordinary students to the battlefield. Silence is like a grave. Based on this, the Star Picking Academy has gained respect in the human world that no one can match, and has an unimaginable momentum.
Such a school, let alone pick the stars, even if you want to use the burning star as a name, who dares to give an opinion?
Everyone in the world knows the bloody, cruel and glorious history of Star Picking Academy, and Chen Changsheng is no exception. Master ranked the Star Picking Academy at the second place on the list. In fact, in his mind, the Star Picking Academy ranked first, so failing to enter the Tiandao Academy made him somewhat depressed, but he didn’t care too much.
He believes that Star Picking Academy will definitely not be as selfish as Tiandao Academy, or at least not excessive.
Thinking in this way, he came to the star-picking astrology college and began to prepare for the second exam.
The Star Picking Academy is really different from the Heavenly Academy. Although there are also black crowds outside the gate, it is not because of the eagle-like eyes of the elite armed soldiers at the gate of the courtyard. The stone stele of the name is too depressing, and there is no noise in the field.
Filling out a simple registration form, receiving a number plate, and under the leadership of several officers, more than 600 young people to be tested entered the courtyard.
Similar to the Tiandao Academy’s assessment, the Star Picking Academy also prepares an early exam. The purpose is to eliminate the ordinary teenagers who have not succeeded in washing the marrow in advance, and reduce the pressure for the subsequent formal admissions exam. However, the Star Picking Academy has an army. The nature and method are simpler and more direct than Tiandaoyuan-there is no induction stone here, only a stone plate.
The stone plate is very large, much like a grinding plate-in fact, it was originally a grinding plate temporarily unloaded from the stone mill outside the kitchen after picking the star. It weighed three hundred pounds. Candidates who can lift this grinding plate and walk up to the 30th level of stone steps are eligible to take the formal admissions examination even if they pass the first level of assessment.
With a weight of three hundred pounds, unless the marrow washing is successful and the muscles and bones are exercised loosely, it is difficult for ordinary people to lift it, not to mention the long stone steps. Many teenagers who failed to wash the marrow looked at the grinding disc, their faces suddenly changed color, and many people withdrew their heads in frustration. Even some teenagers who had been successfully marrow washed but the state of instability judged that they could not do this year. When he arrived, he shook his head again and again but gave up reluctantly. Of course, some ordinary teenagers bravely tried their own challenges with their own strength, but none of them succeeded.
Failing to wash the marrow, he lifted this grinding plate. In the admission examination of the Star Picking Academy, it is actually not uncommon. For example, the white tiger who guards the Galan Pass now, when he entered the college at the beginning of the year, he could not wash the marrow. With natural power, it was very easy to throw that grinding disc directly to the lake...
But after all, this is not too common.
The instructor had some regrets. After looking at the sky, he decided to speed up and let the candidates declare their own level, and then the successful candidates would first take the exam, and then let the ordinary teenagers try.
It is a pity that until the day passes, there is still no ordinary teenager to create miracles.
Just when people felt bored, and many onlookers were about to leave, a burly teenager walked into the field with a number plate, and lifted the grinding disc very easily, pedaling, and even connected to the 30th grade stone. Stage, breathless and blushing, and even carried the grinding disc back to its place!
There was an uproar.
The young man raised his hand to the surroundings, proudly walked up the stone steps again, and walked deep into the college. What is interesting is that he was born too honest and honest, and no matter how deliberately he showed his pride, in the eyes of the onlookers, it was just cute, without any mocking, and only a good laugh.
After the burly boy left, many people began to guess his origin, until someone suddenly mentioned that the cyan pattern that was visible on the ankle of this boy before, all the people were stunned, because... it means that the boy is very likely to have a demon Race lineage, it may even come from the Western Demon Domain!
For centuries, because of the common resistance between the demon clan and the demon clan, although the relationship is not harmonious, it is still safe. Some demon nobles who can be transformed even live in the human world, and there must be in Kyoto in Dazhou-but after all, the human and demon have different routes. The human world, whether official or private, does not mention this matter as long as those It's good if the demon clan doesn't chaos.
The burly young man suspected of being a demon clan, successfully raised the grinding disc, as if pushing a door open, and then, there were actually two more young Orion boys from Da Lao Ling, relying solely on their own original power, He raised the grinding disc and walked up the stone steps. Although it seemed very hard, he still won a lot of applause.
The officer holding a pen above the stone steps to do statistics slightly nodded, and he seemed very satisfied with this year's results.
Time passed, and finally it was Chen Changsheng's turn. The onlookers looked at the naive young man, helped a few prestige in good faith, and stopped paying attention. Because the boy was obviously young and not fully developed, let alone the burly boy like the demon boy, even the two Orion boys were not as strong as they were, and it was impossible to lift such a heavy grinding wheel in any way.
In Tian Dao Academy, Chen Changsheng relied on his familiarity with the rules of the school and directly skipped the level of selecting the marrow. At this time in the Star Picking Academy, he may still think of other methods, but I don’t know whether it is affected by the Academy. The murderous but atmosphere of the impact, or just want to try, he did nothing.
He walked down to the grinding disc and squatted slowly. He held his hands firmly on both sides of the grinding disc. He breathed gently and deeply for five breaths, pouring all his energy between the waist and abdomen and his arms, humming, Suddenly force!
Before the oblique stone steps suddenly became quiet, those who were chatting about something forgot to answer, and opened their mouths to the field.
The grinding plate rose slowly, and was finally lifted by Chen Changsheng to his chest, no more, no more than an inch!
His face was a little red, but his expression was still calm, and he couldn't see any confusion and nervousness in his eyes.
boom! There was a loud cheer between the courts, and people kept cheering for the teenager, with rhythmic cheers, wanting to help him move.
Chen Changsheng took a step forward, but only one step, his knees were shaking.
It is one thing to lift the grinding disc up, and to lift the heavy grinding disc up the stone steps, that is another matter.
His breath became a little messy, and his face became more and more red.
He didn't make any sound, as he could see from the slightly bulging cheek, he was gritting his teeth hard.
He walked up the stone steps step by step.
...
...
Chen Changsheng did not succeed in washing the bone marrow. His muscles and muscles are as strong as ordinary teenagers. Even because he was sick since childhood, he should be weaker than ordinary teenagers. But precisely because of the disease, it is still difficult to cure, so the three people in the broken temple outside Xining, including himself, are most concerned about his body.
As soon as he was sensible, he was forced to recite the three thousand Dao Zang in the broken temple. At the same time, the Taoist master who had some gods and gods dug out countless herbs to make medicinal soup for him to take a bath. He kept helping him to burn his body. For more than ten years, the three people in the temple he knew best were the tastes of books, medicine, and sticks.
After a long time of treatment and suffering, his illness was not cured, he could not become a talented deity like a demon boy, but he should have been extremely weak. Now he is not weaker than ordinary people in physical aspects, and even more Better, although this is just superficial health and strength, it also makes him very happy.
A teenager who has been ill since childhood and has been shrouded in dark shadows since he was ten years old, will be more concerned about the physical aspects than other people, and he will be very concerned about the details, so today at the Star Picking Academy, he went silently Before grinding, I just want to pass this assessment with my own strength.
He wanted to lift up the heavy grinding disc to prove something to himself, and at the same time express his thanks to Master and Brother.
...
...
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps.
Chen Changsheng's breath is getting heavier and he looks more and more ugly. His extremely tight black hair has long been wet with sweat, but his eyes are still calm and sure.
The cheering and cheering on both sides of the stone steps have stopped. Everyone looked at the young man with his head down and struggling forward trembling and walking on the stone steps. He was very worried and admired. On several occasions the young man was about to fall, but he didn’t know where he came from. His strength actually supported him to hold on!
The instructor looked at Chen Changsheng on the stone steps, with an expression of appreciation in his eyes.
...
...
Seven steps, eight steps, nine steps.
Chen Changsheng's pace is getting slower and slower.
The appreciation in the eyes of the instructor became stronger and stronger. He was surprised by the level shown by this young man-as a soldier, he cares about the perseverance and courage shown by Chen Changsheng-he has decided that even if Chen Changsheng fails to lift the grinding plate to the stone steps, Let him pass this initial test. As for whether this will affect the reputation of the academy and the military of Dazhou...
The instructor looked at the nervous people and felt a little calm, thinking secretly that it should not be. It seems that most people think like themselves.
Serious and hard-working children deserve special appreciation.
...
...
Thinking about these things, the instructor was a little distracted, and did not keep looking at the stone steps until a certain moment, he woke up and suddenly noticed that the expression on people's faces had suddenly changed.
He turned his head to look around and saw that there was one more person around him.
It was a soaked and exhausted teenager.
The instructor thought he didn't need to be embarrassed and smiled and patted his shoulder.
Chen Changsheng walked over the stone steps.
The heavy grinding plate there was under his feet.
He succeeded.
