Otherworldly Mysterious Gate

Under Lin Zhengxin's questioning, Lin Shu told Lin Zhengxin that he was going to select [-] children from the Lin family to Taoism.

"Elder Jingxin just asked why candidates don't have to be magic receptors."

Lin Zhengxin was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked with great anticipation: "Why is that?"

Lin Shu smiled and said: "I told Elder Jing Jing that it is because Taoism does not necessarily require being a magician. The purpose of Taoism is to pursue the ultimate unknown. This has nothing to do with whether it is a magic receptor or not. relationship. However, Elder Jing Xin doesn’t seem to believe this answer very much!”

Lin Jingxin smiled slightly and shook her head: "I definitely don't believe it, because no matter what the research is, the condition of magic receptors is definitely better than that of non-magic receptors. Not to mention anything else, manipulating instruments is more beneficial than non-magic receptors! Besides, in In the high-end field of research, the difference in magic level directly determines the height and precision of research!"

"I don't believe it either!" Lin Zhengxin shook her head vigorously, her expression very serious.

"I don't believe it either!" Lin Zhengying looked at Lin Shu with contempt, this girl is just stupid and bold.

Lin Shu chuckled: "Can I say love, believe it or not?"

"No!" Lin Zhengying retorted righteously and sternly.

Lin Shu leaned back, shook his head resolutely, and said, "This is a matter of Taoism, and there is only so much I can say, so, Miss Lin Zhengying, believe it or not, ha ha."

"Cut, cheapskate!"

"I understand!" Lin Jingxin smiled and nodded as if she had realized something.

Lin Zhengxin's face was a little strange, and he seemed to be in a complicated mood, with divergent eyes.He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

For the arrival of Lin Shu.Patriarch Lin Jingtang gave the highest courtesy.He personally came to greet the airship at the berth, which surprised everyone in the Lin family who knew about it.

Lin Shu discussed with the head of the family and the elders about the progress of a series of cooperation matters during this period, and also discussed the future development of the cooperation between Xuanmen, the Lin family, and the Lin family in the Magic Research Association. After the meeting, Lin Shu also I had a careful discussion with the Patriarch alone about the future direction of Xuanmen. As for whether the Lin family can take advantage of the trend, it depends on the ability of everyone in the Lin family.

As for Lin Shu's proposal to move people from the Lin family to Tang to set up a demonstration plantation.Lin Jingtang strongly agrees, and has already prepared all the candidates. Lin Shu has no interest in selecting personnel for this matter at all. If there are people with evil intentions, they will definitely not be able to escape Lin Shu's eyes.

"Lin Shu, will the selection of children from the clan to enter the Taoist sect embarrass you?"

"Eh? No, absolutely not!"

"That's good. I was a little worried that such a large number would make people in the Xuanmen think that our Lin family is infiltrating the Xuanmen!"

"Hehe. Penetration, the Patriarch was joking. It is also possible to say this in reverse. If these Taoist disciples return to the clan in the future, they may completely control the power of the clan!"

Lin Jingtang laughed, he was testing Lin Shu, Lin Shu was testing him, Lin Jingtang felt very relieved about Lin Shu's ability, this is a qualified leader, or in other words, an excellent leader , even though he is still so young, the Lin family is lucky!

"Hehe, what's the matter! If that's the case, our Lin family will only be more prosperous!"

"It's good that the Patriarch can think like this, but I also hope that the Patriarch will not deliberately choose the origin of the child."

"Don't worry about this. I will publicize this matter in the family according to your wishes. Children between the ages of six and nine, regardless of origin or physique, as long as they are voluntary, can participate in the selection, but the number of people is limited. too much."

"Oh, how many are there?"

"More than 600!"

"Heh! Are all the age-appropriate people here?"

"Almost, if not all of them have come, they have come!"

Lin Shu chuckled: "It's good if there are more people, and the more people there are, the more options there will be!"

Lin Jingtang smiled, but couldn't help asking: "Can I also ask why children with non-magic receptor constitutions are not excluded? If you give them hope, but they are disappointed in the end..."

"Patriarch, there is no need to test this. Now there is an upsurge in the study of non-magic receptor cultivation in the world. Isn't it possible that our Xuanmen can't study it?"

Lin Jingtang glanced at Lin Shu, who was smiling but not smiling: "But, if you want to do an experiment..."

"Even if it's an experiment, they must have more dignity than their original life, won't they?"

Lin Jingtang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right!"

..................................

The selection place for Taoist disciples is located in the largest indoor training room of the Lin family. This training room is very large and even has a lot of seats for spectators. At certain times, this is also the place where some celebrations and events are held.

It is also very lively here today, like a festival, especially when there are more children, it is difficult to calm down the scene.

"Ding ding, everyone please be quiet, all parents please leave the venue and go to the auditorium, please leave the venue immediately!"

There was another commotion, some children were crying and refusing, and some parents seemed to have more to say, but after the Great Elder shouted for the second time, everyone finally left, leaving only the children standing in a mess Heaping, Lin Jingxin looked at Lin Shu with some embarrassment, Lin Shu sat on the stool on the rostrum at one side of the field and watched with a smile, without any impatience or dissatisfaction.

"Okay, next is the roll call. Those who get their names will stand in these small circles in front of the rostrum in order. Do you understand?"

"understood!"

"Understood! Elder Grandpa!"

"Oh!"

.......

All kinds of childish answers, although they were a little nervous and scared, but everyone still answered loudly. Seeing their hard work, Lin Shu grinned.

Soon, the children came to the rostrum one by one in order of their names, and under the arrangement of the relevant personnel, they all stood in the designated positions one by one, and these positions were separated from each other.No one can touch anyone.

"Everyone..." The Great Elder glanced at the children below majesticly: "Some of the people present are surnamed Lin, and some are not. But you are all members of the Lin family, so you all have equal rights. With this opportunity, everyone knows what they are here for today. Lin Shu will come to select everyone in a while, and those who are selected will become Taoist disciples. This is a rare opportunity that may change the fate of you and your family. Everyone will cherish this opportunity. After a while, everyone will follow Lin Shu’s instructions to cooperate with the selection process, and if anyone does not obey the order, they will be directly disqualified as candidates.”

After the Great Elder finished speaking, he glanced at the children in the audience again, and stepped aside.

Lin Jingtang smiled and said to Lin Shu: "Lin Shu, it's your turn!"

Lin Shu stood up with a smile, and quickly walked to the front of the stage. The children in the audience all looked at Lin Shu curiously and expectantly.

"Everyone, I am Lin Shu, just like you. The members of the Lin family are disciples of Xuanmen. Where is Xuanmen? Is it powerful? It's useless to talk about it. You will know when you go in the future, but it's ugly. As I said earlier, once you are selected, no matter whether you want to or not, you will not be able to leave Xuanmen, unless you die! So, now there is a last chance, those who don’t want to go can leave.”

The children looked at each other, but no one moved. Lin Shu deliberately waited for a long time, accumulating sufficient pressure on the children, but none of the children left.

"Okay, then we will start the selection process. I don't know how many selections will go through, but it will stop when there are fewer than 20 candidates, so everyone must be patient. Then we will start the first round immediately. For the selection, I will count down from nine to zero. After I count ten, if you can still stand in the circle under your feet, even if you have passed the first round of selection, if there are less than twenty people left, Then the selection will be over immediately."

The children looked at each other without knowing why, and the parents and onlookers in the auditorium also guessed what method Lin Shu would use to get the children out of the circle under their feet.

"Nine, eight..."

Lin Shu counted very quickly, basically counting every second, but when the first syllable was uttered, the expressions of Lin Jingtang and the Great Elder changed a little. They could directly feel the soul-shaking sound from Lin Shu's voice. Of course, this energy is very slight, and few people may feel it.But both Lin Jingtang and the Great Elder knew that Lin Shu only used very little energy, because the children would not be able to bear it. Moreover, Lin Shu's main target was on the front, and both himself and the Great Elder were on the back, so the impact he suffered was even greater. It's small, but that's it, the two of them can still feel the power of that energy, and neither of them has the confidence to stop it if it is used positively.

"Seven, six..."

The people in the auditorium had no idea what Lin Shu was doing, but under their gaze, a child had already come out of the circle in a daze.

"Xiaofeng, don't!"

"Silence!"

The noise in the auditorium did not have any effect on the children. The children seemed to be looking at Lin Shu wholeheartedly. Lin Jingtang and the Great Elder did not know how Lin Shu selected the children, whether he chose those with strong mental strength or weak ones. of?To choose sensitive or insensitive?

At this time, the other elders also realized that something was wrong. These children were too focused, which is not normal. Could it be that Lin Shu only used these meaningless numbers for a few seconds to hypnotize the children? what?Think about it, everyone feels cold air coming from behind.

"three two......"

More and more children walked out of the circle, and there was a buzz of discussion in the auditorium, of course most of them were moaning and sighing.

"One, zero! Alright! Everyone, look at your feet. Children who have left the circle can leave. Thank you for your participation. Although you were not selected, it does not mean that you are inferior to others. It is just because Xuanmen has the standards of Xuanmen, I hope everyone can work hard to learn the skills and knowledge of the clan, and become an outstanding person in the future."

Some children cried in disappointment, some pretended not to care, and some left dejectedly. Soon, there were less than thirty children left on the field in front of the rostrum. These children were more boys. Clothes seem to have all identities, and there is no obvious commonality.

Lin Jingxin glanced over and found that two-thirds of these children were non-magic receptors. This... Lin Shu really doesn't care about physique! (to be continued..)
