Chapter 12 Changes in the General Election(1/2)
Li Lei still wants to continue asking what is the difference between this election and the past.
But before I could open my mouth, I was interrupted by a huge sound in the sky.
"Noon has arrived and the election will begin."
A loud sound passed through the thick clouds, from the sky to the ground, and penetrated into everyone standing on the ground.
The originally noisy square suddenly became quiet.
With this sound, three figures appeared in the sky and were slowly descending to the ground.
Looking closely, two of the three figures were male monks, and the one on the far left was a female monk.
The three of them wore a Dan-red robe of the same style.
And there was a waist sign hanging around their waists, with a giant black tripod carved on it.
Cast a tripod and an object, all-inclusive.
The ingenious carving made the heavy tripod look like it was on paper, as if it really existed on the waist card, exuding that heavy and mysterious aura.
It seems that the three of them are Shangguans sent by Xiding County to take charge of this election.
The Qingyang students stood on the college square, each of them looked up with their heads raised, watching the three of them slowly falling from the sky.
The three-person portrait was not in a hurry, and did not accelerate because of this.
They were extremely far from the ground, so it would take a little time to get to the Academy Square.
"What style is going on? It's so slow. Just to show us. Do you know how to walk without legs?" Li Lei stood down and lowered his voice and muttered.
Li Lei complained below, looking unhappy.
Although they were far apart and stood among the crowds of people, Li Lei's complaint seemed to be heard by the female Shangguan.
She stood in the sky, narrowed her eyes slightly, and stared at Li Lei who was crowded in the crowd.
Li Lei did not notice anything, and he still had a very unhappy expression at this time.
But Qiao Yun, who was standing next to him, noticed it.
"Don't say much, from this moment on we need to be cautious in our words and actions."
Qiao Yuan immediately whispered to Li Lei beside him, telling him not to talk more.
Li Lei also shut his mouth as if he realized something was wrong.
Li Lei just thought that there were many people nowadays, and it would be bad if he said something inappropriate and was heard.
I didn't realize that he had caused a lot of trouble for me again.
Qiao Yuan had no choice but to remind him, and was also seen by the female Shangguan in the air.
Her eyebrows moved, and a slight fluctuation occurred in her heart.
Did he see my investigation? No, this is impossible.
How could a monk who embraces the spirit mirror have such a sensitive perception of spiritual power?
She thought to herself.
On such an important day, the spiritualists working in the college will naturally be present.
In the usual big tests, all the spiritual masters from Qingyang Academy were able to get all the results.
But today it seems that only one spiritual master has come.
He stood in the center of the academy and looked at the three monks above, and as they approached the ground, they also rose from the ground and met them.
"Welcome fellow Taoists to visit our Qingyang Town. All the students in Qingyang have expired and the general election can begin."
The spiritual master bowed his hand and said to the three Xiding County Shangguans.
Seeing this, the two male monks bowed back to their greetings, while the female monk standing behind was indifferent.
When Qingyang Spirit Master saw this, his pupils shrank, but nothing appeared on his face.
The two monks standing beside her seemed to have not seen it and did not say anything.
"Fortunately, fellow Taoists are suffering. I believe you have received news about the changes to this major test before we arrived."
A male monk who looked like a middle-aged man standing among the three put down his hand and said to the spirit master.
"Yes, a few days ago, several Qingyang colleagues working in Xiding County had already heard from us that this Qingyang College exam was different from the past. However, it is not clear how the specific difference is."
The spirit master truthfully answered the questions from people from Xiding County.
It seems that this election will really be very different from the past...
Moreover, based on the past situation, I am afraid that I will face a more unfavorable situation.
"Yes, because of some situations in various schools in Xiding County in the past few years, the number of places promoted in Qingyang College has been greatly reduced every year. You must know better than me in this regard."
The spirit master nodded, of course he knew why.
In the school, Qingyang monks lost step by step in every competition.
Are the Qingyang students who really came out of this place not strong enough?
If they hadn't suddenly become the target of public criticism in every school in the county, how could they have fallen to the point of today?
With frequent transfers of spiritual masters and deans, the students in Qingyang College do not receive good practice guidance.
Under the cycle of evil deeds, the strength of the young monks in Qingyang Town is really worse than that of each generation, and there is a gap between them and other monks.
In this way, the precious promotion quotas will inevitably be fewer and fewer.
The people Li Lei scolded before were not completely nonsense.
"I, Qingyang Academy and others, naturally know what this is."
The spirit master's voice became louder, and his words even popped up one by one.
It seems like there is something in the words.
After hearing the Qingyang Spirit Master’s reply, the middle-aged monk led by him became smiling.
"Just make it easy for fellow Taoists to understand, because in the school assessment held in the capital a few days ago, the monks who came out of Qingyang performed poorly, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction. After temporary discussions, the top peaks decided to make some minor changes to this Qingyang Academy exam."
Without stopping, the middle-aged monk continued:
"In addition to the number of promotions being reduced to 9 places this time, and the basic three tests will be conducted first. For this Qingyang Academy exam, the young monks in Qingyang Town need to participate in the total with Yongticheng."
When he heard the front, Qingyang Spirit Master did not react because he had already known that the promotion quota for Qingyang Academy was cut in half again.
However, when the middle-aged monk said the following words, even though he was prepared in his heart, he was still deeply shocked.
When Qingyang Spirit Master heard this, his heart was overwhelming!
Where is Yongticheng?
Last year, it replaced Shui'ancheng, which had long been ranked first in the school competition last year, and became the emerging force with the largest number of places to be promoted by Xiding County College.
This is all achieved by the young monks in Yongtie City who have performed excellently in the school and competed for their hometown.
If monks from the same place all demonstrate excellent cultivation talent and strength, it means that they may have more cultivation talents in their hometown.
If monks who come out of their hometown can excel, they may benefit their hometown.
Therefore, after every monk comes to the school, a great motivation for his hard work is to get a good ranking and to feed back his hometown.
Each promotional quota represents an extremely precious resource for cultivation and means a future full of possibilities.
The predecessors opened mountains and paved roads, while the descendants moved forward smoothly. They threw them with peaches and rewarded them with plums.
This principle is also used for disciples who have practiced in the school. If their predecessors can benefit from higher levels, they will also benefit.
On the surface, everyone seems to be peaceful, but undercurrents are surging below, and forces of all sizes form alliances just to gain greater benefits.
The relationship between classmates and hometown is a very strong bond outside, which tied many people together.
At least in the official academy, that's how it is.
As for first-class sects and families, they have different rules to operate.
It is rumored that after Yongtie College took office as the new dean a few years ago, it became extraordinary.
The Yongtie Academy, which was originally of general strength, emerged.
This is in sharp contrast to Qingyang Town, which was originally brilliant but is now declining.
The lonely Qingyang Spirit Master stood in front of the three monks of Xiding County, and looked so thin and miserable at this moment.
A sense of sadness arose in his heart.
The Qingyang spiritual master lowered his head and looked at the Qingyang students standing in the square below.
Each of them had his eyes glowing and looked at the sky with hope.
Looking forward to the beginning of the election, longing to have a good ranking, and become successful from now on.
The spiritual master standing in the sky knew this feeling very well.
His name is Shen Chengsi, who was originally from Qingyang. He passed the college entrance examination in the past and walked out from here.
